THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BRITISH EMBASSY. The Times, in alluding to the disastrous fire at Constantinople, anticipates that if the Pera 'mbassy be really no more, future ambassadors will have to content themselves with a more modest reFidence. They will be, to our thinking, none the less comfortable. and the influence of England will scarcely suffer even in that capital of extravagant palaces. The Am bassador has also, it must be remembered, an excellent house at Therapia, on the Bosphorus, where the Embassy 'usually goes to reside about this time of the year. It was In the tremendous conflagration which destroyed the greater Part of Pera 39 years ago that the last British Embassy was destroyed. That fire also swept away numbers of the old wooden houses, and made way for the new c;ty of our time.. It was on the 2 d of August, 1831 , that a fire began 1 11 a house beyond the Great Burying-ground, at a con siderable distance from the town. The wind carried the sParks, and the houses, dry as tinder under the summer sun, took fire in every direction. As in the present ease, the British Embassy was a building standing by itself, but nothing could resist the force of the flames Which were rolled against the Palace from the wooden houses around. It was totally destroyed, and then the lire spread into the body of the town. The French, Rus sian, and Prussian Embassies, all first-class houses, were destroyed, and, indeed, every European Mission in Pera, except the Austrian. The number of persons who Were made homeless was 80,000. The British and Rus sian Embassies rose from their ashes more magnificent than ever. The latter remains ; ours is gone. We must Console ourselves if our great rivals now surpass us in the external signs of grandeur and influence. GOVERNMENT IN FRANCE. The Post declares it is commonly of little use to preach, and, above all, to preach moderation, to French poli ticians ; but perhaps the incidents of the last week will serve to show its necessity. Trivial and little creditable as they are, they will have done good service if they teach the members of the Corps Ldgislatif to be more tolerant of and generous towards a Ministry placed in a trying Position, with a difficult task to perform. At the same time the Ministers themselves, and M. 011ivier above all, have something to learn. They are too thin-skinned by far, and too much inclined to encourage their adversaries by " rising" to their irritating baits. A little more indifference to criticism, and a little more deter mination to disregard all opposition that is not Plainly in earnest, and directed against its existence, would enable the 011ivier Cabinet to go its way much more surely and steadily, and might save it from scramb ling discussions which, like that of Saturday, although they end satisfactorily enough for the Ministry, serve no other good purpose, and always leave evil fruits behind. MR. FORSTER. The Daily News thinks that Mr. Forster's speech at Bradford deserves attention both from the supporters and the opponents of the measure. The Bradford discussion epitomised the whole of this dispute. It is a difference among friends ; a question of more or less ; a disagree ment as to how much can be done between those Who agree in the main as to what should be done. The hope which was expressed by Mr. Forster's constituents that he would pass his bill this year, and their expression of gratitude for the immense step in ad vance which the bill proposes to make, fairly represented the predominant feeling of the country. The bill gives for the first time, a national system of primary in atruetion. Nearly 20 years ago Mr. Cobden said in a speech at Manchester. " There are but two principles on which You can carry on an education system in this country, or in any other, with the slightest approximation to justice. The one is, if you will have a religion, to form Your plan so as to pay for the teaching of all religions ; the other is, to adopt the secular system, and leave religion to voluntary effort. The Government bill is an attempt to reconcile these conflicting principles by satisfying neither, and the choice now before the country to adopt the secular system, and leave religion to voluntary effort" at once, or to do so after some years of strife and confusion, in which religion itself will be dis credited, and the system of Government interference with it will receeive its death-blow. THE CARDINAL DIFFICULTY, The Telegraph observes that the religious teaching is the Cardinal difficulty of the educational question. Here is the o n e dangerous rock ahead. Let that reef be passed, and the bill is safe. And passed it will be—for this rea son, if for no other, that, whether Mr. Forster's solution of the religious difficulty be finally satisfactory or not, it is more satisfactory than any other; and, indeed, is the ,only scheme which the House of Commons as a body, and the country as a whole, will accept. It Would, indeed, to use Mr. Forster's language, be a mon strous thing if the Bible—and not merely Bible reading, but Bible teaching—were excluded from the day schools. 1 6 is useless for the political Dissenters and the secularist* to make a demand which the Govern ment cannot, which Parliament will not, grant. Even the Bradford deputation must know that the clamour for such a prohibition of Scriptural instruction is but an idle Mockery. It is not denominational education that the Go vernment Bill sanctions, but, as Mr. Forster himself Says, the principle that parents may, if they choose, have religious teaching given by the same man who gives the other teaching, and in the same school." We do not Say that such a solution of the religious difficulty is per fect, or that it may produce no questionable results ; but if the plan should not work well, we can amend it. Meanwhile the motto of true Liberals must be " Pass the bill while we can ; establish the system of education for every English child; watch its working with jealous care, and let it be improved and developed by that light Which statesmanship itself will derive from practical ex perience." ORANGEISM The Standard refers to the report of the meeting at the Orange Grand Lodge, and says that Orangeism, with all its faults—and we have never been slow to point them out —has done good service in the past, and may do still better service in the future. However we may condemn intoler ance and fanaticism, it is unjust to speak of them as neces sarily connected with the cause which the Orange Society seeks tohonour, and for the maintenance of which it exists. There never was a time in the history of Ireland, indeed, when it was more necessary for loyal men to combine for mutual defence and"support. The chief bond which united the Irish Protestants to the British State has been vio lently severed. The severance in religion has undoubtedly deeply affected the political sympathy. More than ever do the Irish Protestants require a common centre and rallying point, and the Orange Society is able to afford both the one and the other. To adapt itself for this new and enlarged function it is neces sary that Orangeism should widen its bounds and throw open its gates. There is no reason why it should not be come a public ,instead of a secret association. Those mystic forms and ceremonies—the hidden signs and watchwords, the banners and sashes, and all the decorative and emo tional apparatus of an Orange Lodge—however useful t hey might have been in former times, are no longer ap r°Priate to the age or occasion, and rather detract from than add to the dignity and usefulness of Orange -sm• The Irish Protestants of the present day re quire no such aids to devotion. Their aims are open and honest. There is nothing in their designs which all the world may not know. They do not meditate stratagems or treasons ; and, therefore, it were well if the society which seeks to be the representative of Irish loyalty should in the future discard all mysticism and mum mery, and seek rather to gather strength by the light of Publicity. IRISH CABLE FRACTURED.—The Haverfordwest and exford cable was broken yesterday at 6 a.m. Imme te steps have been taken to repair the cable, but until he communication is restored considerable delay must be c aused to all the messages from and to Ireland. rn ° la Sunday morning part of the upper stone work of the 3rstall Town Hall fell, and mortally injured a man bb ington. There was no apparent reason for the de tachment. The building has been unaltered for several years. It • is rumoured that when Sir Richard Airey suc ceeds to the post of Adjutant-General at the Horse raltar ri llar ds, Lieutenant-General Sir Fenwick Williams, of Gi a b l' B , will be appointed to the command of the fortress of ; and that Lord Templetown will succeed Lieu tenant -General Sir George Buller in command of the garrison of Portsmouth. ACAccording*to the Frankfurter Journal t he p olice of Geneva have arrested M. Netchaef, the man whose extradition has been claimed by the Russian Government. - a 8 ther e i s no convent i on , h owe ver, between Russia and Sw itzerland f or th e g i v i n g up of refugees, it is probable that M . Netchaef will merely be forced to leave the Swi ss territory, The - Journal Officiel publishes a list of places from the addre sses o f congratulation have been sent up to "u s Emperor on the result of the Plebiscite. They have come from almost all parts of Algiers and almost all the 81 " 11 prefectures of France ; but the great centres, such a s Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux, and others, are conspi cuous by their silence. On Saturday, the foundation - stone of the Albert t d idge, now in course of erection upon the site of the Earl Hutcheson-town bridge, Glasgow, was laid, by the of Dalhousie, K. G., and Grand-Master Mason. of .20tland. The ceremony was made the occasion for a !..N.l...asonic display. In the afternoon the Lord Provost of 'rlasgcw presented the Earl of Dalhousie with the freedom of the city. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, RINI, 7, 1870. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE ENGLISH CAPTIVES AT GIBRALTAR (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Unfortunately the good news circulated respecting the English captives at Gibraltar turns out to be not altogether correct. Only one of the gentlemen has returned to Gibraltar, and he has been released in order to obtain the ransom demanded by the brigands, 150,000 fr. or £6,000. it is Mr. Bonell, junior, who has been despatched for the ransom, leaving his uncle in the hands of the brigands until the money s paid. HEALTH OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR. The Emperor Napoleon was unable to attend the grand dinner which took place at the Tuileries on Saturday through indisposition. He was said to be suffering from a slight attack of rheumatism. TERRIBLE FIRE IN CONSTAN- TINOPLE. THE BRITISH EMBASSY AND OTHER HOUSES BURNT. The: British Embassy and a large number of other houses have been destroyed by fire at Con stantinople. We . are glad, however, to learn that no lives have been lost, and that although Sir Henry Elliot's family have lost all their pro perty, not one of the members of it suffered personal injury of any kiwi. The calamity occurred on Sunday night. The following is the purport of the telegram received at the Foreign Office on the subject. It was dated Constantinople, June 6th, 7.40, and ran thus : " The British Embassy was burnt down last night. The fire destroyed an enormous number of houses in the vicinity. The embassy house is gutted. The archives and plate are, however, saved. Nobody belonging to the embassy is injured, although all personal property has been lost." CONSTANTINOPLE, June 6. A fearful fire broke out at 1 a.m. yesterday, in Pera, which was not got under until nearly midnight. In consequence of a strong wind the flames spread with alarming rapidity, and the English embassy the American and Portuguese consulates, the Naoum Theatre, the Palace of the Armenian Patriarch, many churches, mosques, and several thousand houses and shops in the finest parts of Pera were completely destroyed. Several persons were killed and others wounded. The fire is still burning in various places. The loss is immense. The telegraph wires between Pera and Europe were broken, but communication has been re-established this morning at an adjacent point through the excessive promptitude of the telegraph administration. The scene in Pera is heart rending, as thousands of families are in the streets home less. good. The Herefords were one of the best known' The Sussex collection was poor ; but the Channel Islands were finely represented. The show of sheep was unusually good, hordes and pigs had a merit rarely excelled, aril' their numbers were much above the average.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.) (BY ATLANTIC CABLE.) NEW YORK, June 6. A telegram from Cuba brings an official announce ment that a band of Filibusters has been landed in Cuba from the steamer George B. Upton. They were dispersed by the Spanish troops. Twelve, including Captain Harrison, were killed, and all arms, ammunition, and store.; brought by the party were taken. The Commander, Cisnero, escaped with the steamer. This afternoon, about five o'clock, a pleasure yacht, the Royal Albert, capsized a mile off Hastings, having fourteen persons on board. The two boatmen and six of the excursionists were picked up, but two of the latter have died. The bodies of the following, together with that of a person unknown, have since been recovered Airs. John Chambers, London ; Mr. Richards, London ; Mrs. Mibrnard, Hammersmith. Mr. and Mrs. Storkes, Hastings, are still missing. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A STATION-MASTER. At Botley Station, on the Portsmouth line yesterday, Mr. Moore, an inspector in the employment of the South.- Western Railway Company, in stepping out of the way of one train was knocked down by another and instan taneously killed. He leaves a wife and several children. LARGE FIRE AT BRISTOL. A large fire occurred on the siding of the Great Western Station, Bristol, early this morning, and caused consider able loss. Twenty luggage-trucks were burned, 12 com pletely, except the ironwork, and the other eight almost beyond repair. The trucks were loaded; one contained about £l,OOO worth of cloth, and all the others contained ♦aluable property. SELLING..SPIRITS WITHOUT A LICENCE- SEVERE PENALT IES. At the Leceister Town Hall, yesterday, Mary Thompson, keeper of a house of ill fame, was fined in the full penalty of £2O for selling champagne. She was also fined in the unmitigated penalty of £5O for selling a glass of brandy without a license, to Thomas Langdale, who visited her house under instructions from the Inland Revenue officers, on Sunday night, May 15. The Mayor, Mr. George Stevenson, and the other magistrates on the bench were Bo disgusted with the facts revealed, that they decided not to recommend the reduction of the fines, which were, however, immediately paid. THREATENING THE LIFE OF A LONDON SHIP-OWNER. Denis O'Brien, of Hobboden, was charged before the Newport Boro' magistrates yesterday, with threatening the life of John William Michael, shipowner. The prosecutor had the ship Emma, in Newport Dock, and the prisoner agreed to discharge her cargo at a certain rate, he wanted more, which, however, the prose cutor refused to give. The defendant addressed him in the street in violent terms, threatening to trip him in the dock, and the prisoner was held off from the prosecutor by a policeman, and was then taken into custody. The solicitor for the ' pro secutor, who swore he was in fear of his life, said his client would be satisfied with substantial bail. The magistrates decided to impose bail accordingly. Sureties, however, were not forthcoming when the court rose, but it was understood that they would be pro duced. MADAME SAINTON-DOLBY'S FAREWELL CONCERT. Yesterday afternoon Madame Sainton-Dolby gave her last and farewell concert, an occasion that attracted one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in St. James's Hall. To take part in such a leave-taking as this great public favourite experienced was both a source of pleasure and regret. A feeling of gratification arose when one surveyed the brilliant audiences, but it was of short duration when it was remembered that that was the last assemblage before which Madame Sainton-Dolby would appear as a public vocalist. The programme was worthy the interesting occa sion, as it contained the names of nearly every artiste of celebrity ; all appeared with but one single exception, ' that of Mdlle. Christine Nilsson, who unfortunately was too unwell to fulfil her engagement. Amongst the names in the programme were those of Madame Monbelli, Trebelli-Bettini, Madame Sinico, Madame Volpini, Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Rita, Miss Edith Wynn, Miss Elena Angele, and Madame Sainton- Dolby. Mr. Sims Reeves, M. Santley, Signor Gassier, Mr. Cumming, Signor Bettini, Mr. A. Byron, Mr. Maybrick, Mr. Lewis Thomas, and Messrs. Baxter, Coates, Land, and Lawler, of the London Glee and Madrigal Union. Want of space prevents us from making more than a brief selection I from the many musical gems with which the audience was delighted, but the most interesting in the first part was the rendering of Handel's air, " What though I trace," from the oratorio " Solomon," by Madame Sainton, and although we had not the full and noble contralto voice that once was the glory and delight of the habituis of Exeter-hall in the young days of the now gigantic Sacred Harmonic Society, yet there was all that exquisite taste and pathos which eventually rendered the name of Miss Dolby so famous. The applause of the audience at the conclusion of the air was enthusiastic in the highest degree. Mr. Sims Reeves gave the recitative and air from " Gideon," by Horsley, " Lord, who am I ?" in his usual incomparable style ; and, further, he accepted a rapturous encore, but instead of repeating the air, he substituted for it a ballad by A. Sullivan, " Snow lies white." Mr. Santley sung one of Virginia Gabriel's compositions, " Cleansing fire," with great. effect, and Mr. Cummings, one by Madame Sainton-Dolby, entitled, " A bridal song," that elicited the greatest applause. Miss Edith Wynne sang " Marjorie's Almanack " so pretty that it had to be re peated, - and Miss Julia Elton rendered a new song by Kate Ward, entitled " The Weaver," with the greatest finish and effect. Signor Gordoni as usual charmed the - entire audience by the sweetness with which he sung Palhadilhe's aria " Mandilonata." After a very exquisite performance of Gounod's prelude for pianoforte, violin, and organ by M. Benedict, M. Sainton, and M. Lemmens, Madame Sainton-Dolby appeared to sing her last song in public, and she chose the old Scotch ditty " Caller Herrin';" of course it was rapturously encored, and then came the leave-taking. Madame Sainton ; in the most graceful manner acknowledged the applause, which was renewed again and again, then , came a waving of handkerchiefs, then more applause, until finally Madame Dolby retired from the platform, evidently suffering great emotion, and so ended the public career of one of the most accomplished of English vocalists. The concert was a great success, and we are sure that Madame Sainton-Dolby had the heartfelt wishes of all present that she may long and thoroughly enjoy that happiness and sweet repose which she has so well and nobly earned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUNT.- (YESTERDAY.) The June sessions commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the civic authorities. The calendar is a very heavy one, and contains no less than three charges of wilful murder, and six attempts to commit the capital offence. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, remarked upon the very many serious crimes of which the calendar was composed, and then proceeded to refer to the horrible murder that had lately taken place at Chelsea. The prisoner's name is Miller, and after they had heard the evidence in support of the indictment it would be for them to say whether there was a prima fade case against him, in which case they would return a true bill. Ano ther lamentable case which they would have ,to consider was that of a young man named Redhead, who stood charged with the wilful murder of his mother-in-law, and in their decision they would have to be guided. by the 'evidence that would be laid before them. The other charge of murder was that against a prisoner named Reeves, but here it was alleged that death had been the result of ac- ' cident, and it would be for them to say whether they were of that opinion. There was a very serious indictment against a young man, Shelly, who stood charged with attempting •to murder M. C. Buxton, M.P., shooting him, andanother case of great public importance was that with which two young men named Boulton and Park stood indicted. The . case had excited a very great deal of public attention, and it was of the highest importance both to the public and the prisoners that the real nature of the case should be clearly proved. He felt sure they in the discharge of their duty would be uninfluenced by anything which they might either have read or heard. There was great difficulty in the case, and some doubt with respect to the law applic able to it, but their duty would be to ascertain whether there was sufficient evidence to put the prisoners on their trial, and, if of that opinion, they would return a true bill, leaving the other matters to be disposed of by another tribunal. After referring to other cases in the calendar, some of which, he regretted to say, were of a very shocking description, the Recorder said he was sure they would discharge their duty in a way satisfactory to themselves and the country. . In the event of any assistance being re quired he need hardly tell them that the Court at all times be ready to render them every assistance. The grand jury then retired. THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER MR. C. BUXTON, M.P. Alfred Shelley White, 27, was charged with feloniously shooting at Mr. C. Buxton, with intent to murder him. It will be recollected that the prisoner was formerly in the service of Mr. Buxton, but that he was discharged for neglecting his duties, and shortly afterwards he attempted to take the life of his employer. On being placed in the dock the counsel engaged for the defence informed the Court that the unfortunate man was in a condition of mind quite unfit to plead. Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of Newgate, said the prisoner was now of unsound mind, and quite unable to under stand the nature of the charge made against him. The Learned Judge then directed the prisoner to be de tained until her Majesty's pleasure should be known. POLICE IN TEL LIGENC E. —(YESTERDAY.) CRUEL DESERTION OF A FAMlLY.—William Nicholas, a tall, strong, able-bodied man, was brought before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police-court, charged with deserting his three children, aged 11, 9, and 7, respec tively, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of All Saints, Poplar. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor for the prosecution, said the prisoner was a moulder in iron and steel, could earn 50$. per week, and when apprehended in Furness, Lancashire, on Saturday, by Walton, an officer of the Court, had £5 in his possession. The pri soner left his children with some woman in the early part of March last without the means of support, and she transferred them to another woman, who took them to the workhouse. Mr. Courtenay, a relieving officer of the Poplar Union, said the children had been chargeable to the parish since the 13th of March last, and the ex penses of their maintenance was £6 Bs. The prisoner had forwarded 30s. to the parish since he had been away. Walton said he discovered the prisoner at the Barrow, in Furness Ironworks, and took £5 in money' from him. The prisoner was in receipt of Bs. per day. He was sent to prison for two months' with hard labour. BRUTALITY TO WOMEN.—George Sparks, a rough-look ing man, was charged at the Westminster Police-court with the following brutal and unprovoked attack upon a woman. Mrs Barnes. a young married woman, said that she was returning home with her husband and a friend last night when the defendant came up and used a very disgraceful expression to her. She threatened to give him into the custody of the police, when he gave her a , violent blow in the eye and she fell up against some rail ings. Defendant said the account given of the transac tion was all wrong ; but an independent witness informed hia worship her version of the outrage was quite correct. The fellow was condemned to 14 days with hard labour. A WEDDING NIGHT IN A POLICE CELL.—Robert Par sons, maohinist, of No. 26, Little Windmill-street, was eharged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with violently assaulting a young man named James Thomas. Police-constable Charles Ridgment, 170 C, said that last night he was on duty in Brewer-street, when he was informed that a man had been ill-used in Wind mill-street, and on going to No, 26 in the street, and charging the prisoner with ill-using a man of the name of James Thomas, the only reply he made was that Thomas had been interfering with him all day, and that he could stand it no longer. He took the prisoner into custody, and the injured man was taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, and was at present unable to attend. Mr. Tyrwhitt re mande d the prisoner, who it was stated was married yes terday, till Wednesday next. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE BY A MOTHER IN POPLAR Yesterday Ellen Wallis, aged 27 years, of 6, Blackwall harbour, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police-court, charged with attempting to drown herself and two illegitimate children named Jane Wallis and John Christian Wallis, in the River Thames. John Chapman had cohabited with the prisoner several years, and a few weeks ago separated from her, when he agreed to allow her 10s. per week for the maintenance of herself and their two surviving children. On Sunday at the Blackwall pier the prisoner took the two children in her arm, and jumped into the water with both. Chapman, who was standing by, called out " Murder ! Save them, save my children !" and they were got out alive. The youngest, a baby six months old, was insensible, and was eventually with difficulty recovered. Chapman denied having goaded the prisoner to do such a desperate act as to drown herself and children. The Prisoner—You did, you did : iyou said several times "Do it, do it ; drown yourself and the children." He wants to get rid of me and the children. Mary Ann Webster, wife of an engi neer, was on the Blackwall Pier, and heard the prisoner ak 1 Chapman quarrelling. Chapman said, "Do it ; do it," several times, and goaded her to madness. The prisoner took up the children, and 'was running towards the water, when she fell down. She got up again, and then plunged into the water. Mr. Lushington committed the prisoner for trial at the July Sessions of the Central Criminal Court for the attempt to murder her children. The Bishop of Winchester has instituted the Rev. S. L. Warren to the rectory of Esher, Surrey. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol has instituted the Rev. G. G. Coventry to the vicara o rie of Oxenton, near Chelten ham. The Bishop of Norwich has instituted the Rev. W. J. Kitching to the rural deanery of Stow. The Bishop of Oxford has nominated the Rev. C. P. Longland to the rectory of Headington. Pressure on the barometer was yesterday uniformly high. Temperature also has risen everywhere except in the South, where it fell several degrees in the morning. Winds are light and variable at the British stations, but easterly on the French coasts, blowing rather strongly in the Bay of Biscay. The sky has now cleared generally, and the weather is very fine in the United Kingdom. The sea is calm. Chinese pirates attacked the Prussian ship George, which left. Hong Kong on the 16th April, on the first night of her voyage. The pirates approached the ship in two junks, almost without making a sound, surprised and bound the sleeping crew, and then searched the vessel un disturbed. After they had secured a rich booty, they bade farewell to the captain and the men, and shook hands with them most cordially. Oil Sunday afternoon the Right Rev. Dr. Wilkin son, the newly consecrated Bishop of Zululand, preached in Norwich Cathedral on behalf of his missionary diocese, which he states is sadly in want of the help of devoted men and women. As many as he can obtain he proposes to take out with him when he leaves England in the autumn. The death is announced of the Rev.

By Julia Kavanagh, author of " Nathalie," &c. 3 vols.—" Miss Kavanagh's heroine, Silvia, is charming. Though there is much pleasant writing upon other points, and the subordinate parts have a distinctness and originality of their own, it is on Silvia and her fortunes that our interest is concentrated ; and tho Ugh secondary picturas are nowhere left incomplete, she stands out from the canvass - naturally, and undoubtedly . predominant. Her story is told with much subtle and delicate knowledge of humanity. The book abounds with humour.—Aflienccuirt, PORTUGAL. Marshal Saldanha has asked for the convocation of a Constituent Cortes, and he likewise demands that there should be an increase in the army of thirty thousand men. he does not state the reasons which urge him to take this step which appears a somewhat incomprehensible one, the country being in dread of foreign invasion, and its finances requiring care instead of extravagance in the details of its expenditure.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.) LORD DERBY AT LIVERPOOL. Yesterday the Earl of Derby laid the foundation stone of a new institution, tobe calledthe Stanley Hospital, at the north end of Liverpool, and later in the day inaugurated a grand open-air fancy fair and baiaar in aid of the funds of the institution. During his address at the laying of the stone, his lordship remarked that all who were in any doubt as to how to distribute charitable gifts could not bestow them on objects less likely to be abused thall hospitals in large communities like that of Liverpool. Alluding to the causes which pro duced accidents and disease, his lordship said that where drunkenness existed there would always be impro vidence, pauperism, and other evils, and although we might be mending, and he thought upon the whole we were, he was afraid in England we were still very far from a temperate people. He acknowledged, however, that great good was being done on the one hand by sanitary reform, and on the other by education, and he expressed a confident hopethat in future wealthy communities like that of Liver pool would be found equal to the charitable demands made upon them. THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT TAUNTON , The agricultural show commenced at Taunton yesterda The weather for it was splendid, and the town was full of holiday makers. Everything went off well. The show itself is a highly satisfactory one. The Devons formed a magnificnt collection ; the shorthorns were also very MONOMANIA. Yesterday (Monday) before the Mayor of Newport and Mr. William Evans, Hannah Rees, a domestic servant, was charged with stealing fifteen bottles of wine, the pro perty of her master. It appeared that the prosecutor de tected the theft through seeing the prisoner taking upstairs a coffee pot filled with some wine. On searching her bedroom the number of bottles mentioned were discovered. The prisoner was then given in custody. At the police-station she complained of illness. Dr. Davis was called, and ordered her to the hospital. She was conveyed in a cab, but before reaching the hospital she gave birth to a child. Dr. Davis gave his opinion that she was suffering from monomania arising from pregnancy. The prosecutor subsequently appeared in court, and said he thought the accused had suffered enough, and he wished to withdraw the charge. The prisoner had been in his service only two months. The prosecutor's application was granted in consideration of the medical opinion. The birth was premature. The Great Eastern arrived at Falmouth yesterday morning, and is now lying at anchor near Pendennis Castle.

The mayor, George Stevenson, Esq., and the other magistrates on the bench, were so disgusted with the facts revealed that they decided not to recom mend the reduction of the fines, which were immediately paid.

We are more gratified at the result, not because it is the work of a gentleman not altogether un known,but because it gives hope for still better things. The plot of the piece is very simple, but the characters by which it is worked out, are all so capitally drawn and sustained that nothingmore pleasing could well be desired. The story of the new comedy briefly told is as follows :—A fast and somewhat reckless member of a rich family is living in rural retirement with his two daughters on a small income allowed him by their deceased mother. The girls, who are typified in the title as the " Two Roses," are admired by a couple of young gentlemen who have strolled into Kent on a summer excursion. Jack Wyatt passionately loves the fair Lottie, and his friend Caleb Deecie, who has the misfortune to be . totally blind, has found himself agreeable to the dark-haired sister Ida. Whilst the father, Mr. Digby Grant, who is in arrears with his landlady and generally in debt with his tradespeople, can obtain the loan of sundry small sums from the two suitors, their love-making looks promising enough ; but the arrival of one Mr. Furnivall, a solicitor, changes the aspect of affairs. Digby Grant is suddenly informed that he is the presumptive heir to the De Chaperon estate, bringing with it an income of ten thousand a year, there being only one person who could have a stronger claim to the property, and the inquiries of many years having failed to establish that individual's ex istence. Digby now assumes a more consequential - position, discharges his debts with a cheque-book placed , at his disposal by the complaisant solicitor, and discards the humble suitors. Jack Wyatt is discarded by the father as a suitor for Lottie, and Caleb Deecie shares the same fate as regards Ida. However the triumph of the father is but of short duration, as the unwelcome news arrives that the rightful owner of the De Chaperon pro perty is no other than the blind Caleb Deecie. The dis covery is made, and then Digby Grant, making the best of the freak of Dame Fortune, offers no objection to the union of his daughters, the Two Roses, with their respective lovers. With respect to the acting of the piece nothing could be more satisfactory. Mr Montague's Jack Wyatt was of more than ordinary excellence,and frequently as we have had occasion to compliment him, on no former occasion have we had to do so with more unreserved praise than on the present occasion. His performance from first to last was faultless. Mr. Thorne's Caleb Deecie was a highly artistic impersonation, and Mr. Irvine, as Digby Grant, and Mr. G. Honey as our Mr. Jenkins, supported their respec tive parts in excellent style. Miss Amy Fawsitt we can not praise sufficiently ; her acting was pefectly charming and well deserved the enthusiastic applause it called forth. Miss A. Newton, as her sister Ida, acted with the utmost , taste and judgment. The mounting of the piece was well worthy of unreserved praise, both as regards scenery, dresses, and appointments. The curtain descended amidst the most enthusiastic and genuine applause, and we congratulate the management on the production of such a very excellent piece—one which, if we mistake not, that will attract large audiences to this pretty theatre throughout the entire of the summer season. HOLBORN AMP HITHEATRE. An entertainment entitled "The American Ethoscope" has been produced here, which will be largely patronized during the holiday season. It is an enlarged production of that generally known as " The Ghost Illusion," which was introduced some time ago by Professor Pepper. In the Great Mirror on that present occasion we have a com pressed representation of "Faust' and "Marguerite ;" the music being sung by Mr. G. Loder, Signor Angyalfi, and Miss Sarah Nelson. There is also a second part, which consists of a variety of the most comical and fantastic illusions, which, with the admixture of dancing and the violin performances of the Albanos, produces an enter ment of a very excellent and pleasing description. YACHTING. NEW THAMES YACHT CLUB.

HONEYMOON IN GAOL.—A young woman named Hams was married the other morning in West Hartlepool.

(ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— How is health to be preserved, or won when lost ? The human body is made of nerves, vessels, and bone, all of which are formed from the blood, aided by the glands. These Addison compares to a bundle of pipes and strainers. To cleanse and clear these from all obstructions and im purities is the art of medicine. Holloway's medicaments happily effect this object ; not one of the infinitude of pipes and strainers escapes their purifying power. They thoroughly remove all noxious matters, and expel all cause of disease. They act most beneficially on every organ. The pills internally, and the ointment rubbed on the glands, restore vigour to the body and cheerfulness to the mind. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE ST. ALB.AN'S RACES.-MONDAY, --- Match-50 sovs each, 25 ft.

The demand for accommodation has been limited, and three months' paper has been taken at 2i to 3 per cent. At Mark-lane to-day, the grain trade has been very firm.
