Si R,—The uninterrupted state of t,legraphic com munication with America is evidenced by the fact that in the course of yesterday 91 messages passed, yielding £2,591 7s. In order, however, to mitigate as far as possible the effect of vague and ex iggerated rum ,ur I feel it my duty, as chairman of this company, to ask you to place the public in possession of the follow ing facts, namely : On the sth inst. it was reported that on the 4th inst., at 6.30 p.m., "a large iceberg ground3d off the harbour of Heart's Content, Fewfoundland, about a mile and a half N.N.W. of Northern Point, and 200 yards east of the 1866 cable, in about 16 fathoms water. No danger with present wind." On the Bth inst. it was reported that " Iceberg has disappeared," but in passing over the cable of 1866 it seems that some damage must have been done, for the signals through the cable became im perfect, and have now ceased. The cable of 1865, however, is uninjured, and there is no reason to doubt that the injury to the cable of 1866 will be repaired without delay, or any considerable ex pense. I need only add that the capacity of the cable of 1865 exceeds the requirements of the business, great as it is, between this country and America.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES E. STEWART, Chairman of the Anglo-American Telegraph Co. Anglo-American Telegraph Company; Limited, 26, Old Broad-street, London, E.C., May 17. Frightful Accident and Probable Loss of Life at Blackfriars-Bridge — This Day. We regret to state that one of those fearful acci dents which occasionally take place in carrying out large undertakings in the metropolis happened this morning at the works now progressing at Black friars for the building of the new bridge. Owing to the great excitement which prevailed, and the objection of the workpeople to give the least infor mation as to the cause of the melancholy event, but few particulars of a reliable character could be ob tained, but the following may, in the main, b e relied upon as free from exaggeration :—lt seems that whilst the City police were on duty on the temporary wooden bridge, regulating the horse traffic, they had their attention directed to a number of men who were engaged in the upper stage of the works to carry out the building of the new bridge. At the same time there were nine other men employed at one of the " travellers," and with the aid of four "crabs" were working with all their energies in lowering an immense iron cylinder weighing some tons, for the purpose of a pier for the bridge being built therein. Whilst the men were laughing, talking, and some were even singing, their hilarity was suddenly brought to an end. As the enormous piece of iron work was de scending towards its bed in the river, the iron chain by which the c yli n d er wa s attached, with ou t any premonitory s i gns , snapped asunder, and the iron work, about the size of a large room, fell with a crash upon the stage below, striking the whole of the men employed at the works. Some were forced into the River Thames, and others were fearfully crushed. Oue poor fellow was taken out with his back broken. Re, with two others, were removed away, but the first named was found, as might be supposed, nearly dead. The others were also seriously injured. Another man was, after some time, extricated, and he was placed in a cab, on the Surrey side of the bridge, and taken to Guy's Hospital, but it was there reported that, al though alive, not the least hopes, owing to the serious nature of the injuries he has received, can be entertained of his recovery. The person who became immersed in the water appears to have received no serious injury. The precise cause of the accident is not at present allowed to transpire. LATEST PARTICULARS. From inquiries just made at Guy's Hospital our reporter was informed that the unfortunate man, whose name is Cranfield, who was so seriously in jured and was supposed t o h ave di e d f rom t h e effects of those injuries, was still alive, but was not expected to live many hours. Another man named Smith is suffering from a compound fracture of one of his legs. A man named Coulson has one of his arms broken, besides receiving internal injuries. A man named Balam has received a fracture of the skull and is not expected to recover. The whole of the sufferers were taken to Guy's Hospital, and not to St. Bartholomew's as was first supposed. It seems a perfect miracle that more persons had not been injured, for, at the time of the accident, there were not fewer than fifteen men at work, and the cylinder that fell weighed 130 tons. COPPER IN CHOLERA. The Journal des Connaissances Medicales pub lishes a paper by MM. Guichard and Duriez on the possibility of curing cholera by administering copper. Dr. Burq, the originator of this treatment (for it was he who, in 1849, ascertained that coppersmiths and those in habitual contact with that metal were not subject to the disease), had been allowed to try it at the Hotel Dieu, but, it is said, with little or no success. Howcra, as Dr. Burq was of opinion that the patients who had recovered were those in whom the absorption of copper had taken place, whereas it had not in those who had died, it became worth ascertaining whether or not the organs of the deceased had absorbed the supposed specific. MM. Guichard and Duriez were therefore requested to examine some livers preserved in alcohol, which had been extracted from the bodies of certain patients that had died of the epidemic ; and they found copper to exist in each of these organs. Hence they conclude : Ist. That in those fatal cases in which salts of copper were administered, the failure of the latter was not owing to their not having been absorbed, since chemistry proved the contrary ; 2d. That even in the chilly period absorption had taken place. The latter is a fact of general importance, because it shows that the faculty of absorbing medicines remains to the last ; as to the first conchfsion, it is far from being so telling as might appear at first sight. Against the unsuccessful cases of the Hotel Dieu, Doc tor Burq may set off the signal success with which the application of his method was at tended at the hospital of Marseilles during the last choleraic invasion ; and if it should excite won der that the results were so different in the two places, we would remark that most probably few cases but those past all hope of recovery were entrusted to Dr. Burq at the Hotel Dieu, such being generally the fate of experimentalists in medicine who have not yet succeeded in ob taining a great name ; while, on the other hand, at Marseilles, the method was tried with the fall in tention of testing its powers to the utmost, and the result was such as to beat the old methods utterly out of the field. RAMSGATE HARBOUR. —A Parliamentary paper hay just been issued respecting Itainsga to Lfzirbour. From the statement of receipts and payments made by the Board of Trade for the year ending 31st December last, issued yesterday, it appears that the receipts amounted to £13,335 12s. 3d., including balance in hand on Ist January, 1866, £1,838 ss. ld.; income from harbour dues, £7,730 2s. 8d ; income from rent of houses, £1,475 3 81. ; dividend on stock, £2,143 13s. 4,1. ; proceeds of sale of old stores, £l4B 7s. 6d.

BOW-STREET. THE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF THE FULHAM MAIL BAG.—The two men Channell (alias Shannon) and Neville wore placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing the Fulham mail bag, containing over 200 letters and newspapers, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster- Gen era l. Mr. King, from Coldbath Prison, proved a former con viction against each of the prisoners. Mr. Flowers said that being the case, if either of the pri soners had anything to say that would be the proper time for them to do so. Channel( (or Shannon) said ho wished fora remand, in order that he might have a witness in attendance who could speak to the conduct, of the detectives, who, iu crier to get their names up, were is the habit of employ ing people, to in•luce others to commit felony, in order that th , y might take them into custody. In the present case, which roquired a good d-al of looking into, the third party charged with being in the, roblPry, and who had been spoken of :IS the Mall who hail got away—this wit ness, he believed, would provo that the detec tives lrol given him half-a-crown to make them both drunk, in order that they might commit the robbery, and when they had done so the third man who was acting for the detective . was allowed to escape. lie, therefore, wished fur a remand, in order that this person might be ()Ailed upon to attend and give evidence. Mr. Flowers thought th e w it ness cou ld be in attendance at the trial. Channell said he wished ho might he compelled to at tend and give his evidence before he was convicted, in order that ho should state what he know of the matter. Tho magistrate, therefore, remanded both prisoners for a week. MARLBOROUCirI-STREET. - A WRETCHED STORY.--;Margaret Warren, a meanly clad woman, was charged with assaulting her daughter, Margaret Warren, about 12 years of ago. The complainant, a meek child, said- 7 1 reside with my father and mother at No. 28, Tower-street, and last night my mother struck me on the bead with a saucepan handle and afterwards threw me down stairs. Mr. Knox—This is the letter the father writes to me:— " Your Worship,—l` am very sorry to hear from you of the bad conduct of my wife towards me and the children. She has stripped my room of almost everything she can lay her hands on. She has taken the bed things away, and I have nothing to cover me and the children with. I am laid up with rheumatism in my legs, and cannot walk across the room. She is very cruel to me now I can't help myself. Drink is her only study. She has commenced taking the things off the children's backs to keep them from school. She will not let them go to school for some reason or the other. lam nearly broken-hearted about her. She has been going on like this fur 10 years, and she has only just come out of prison." Prisoner—Did I strike you ? Complainant—Yes, you did. Mrs. Margaret Russell, a widow, and landlady of No. 28, Tower-street, said—l was fetched three times to the house from my other house owing to the prisoner's violence. The first time the prisoner was going out to sell a sauce pan, and I took it away and gave it to her daughter. Shortly after I saw her attempting to strike her daughter with a saucepan handle, and I took it away from her. She had dragged her husband out of bed by the hair of his head, and he was lying on the stairs. I had not left the house more than a quarter of an hour when I was fetched again, and she had then just thrown her daughter down stairs. The prisoner had once been sent to prison for three months at the instance of the Marquis Townshend for ill treating her children. Mr. Knox—ls the girl a good girl ? Mrs. Russell—She is. Joseph Winson—Last night I was called to the house, and found the girl had just Won thrown down stairs. I took the prisoner into custody, when she made use of most filthy language. She has been imprisoned for threo months for a similar offence. Mr. Knox —Was she drunk or sober ? Constable—Drunk and very violent. The prisoner, in the course of a rambling address to the magistrate, in which she talked of her " poor dear children" and her " poor sick husband," promised that if the magistrate would forgive her she would at once take the pledge. Mr. Knox—l think you may consider it vary fortunate you are not standing hero on a charge of murder. You first strike your daughter with an iron saucepan handle, and then threw her down stairs, and you pulled your sick husband out of bed. I shall commit you for six months under the Aggravated Ass,tults Act, and at the end of that time you will find bail in £2O for three months. SHARE MARKET3.—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

THE SMOKE NI,IiANCE ACT.—Mr. John Guyat, the secretary of the Gas Products Utilising Company, Bow Common-lane, appeared before Mr. Partridge, for the second time, to answer, two informations exhibited by Inspector Konuesy, of the - K - 11Msion, by melt, - of lir_ Walpole, late Home Secretary. To the first, which charged the defendant with being convicted and fined £5 under the Smoke Insurance Act, in 1865, the defendant pleaded guilty. The second information charged the secretary of the company with having a furnace so constructed as not burn or consume its own smoke. Mr.Sandison, the engineer employed by the Government to carry out the provisions of the act, said there was one furnace on the company's premises very much of repair, and 13 other furnaces without any apparatus being applied to them for the consumption of smoke. There would be no difficulty whatever in constructing and applying a smoke-consuming apparatus to each furnace. John Rosengran, police-constable No. 683 A, said he had watched the defendant's chimney shaft almost daily for a long time past, and he had frequently seen dense volumes of black smoke issuing from it, and darkening and blacken ing the neighbourhood. the smoke had continued ascend ing in large quantities, sometimes for five minutes, and at other times for 15, 30, 60, and 78 minutes. The in hab;tants generally complained of the nuisance. The Secretary, in defence, said that the company he represented had been prevented by various causes from applying smoke-consumers to the furnaces. The com pany were anxious to comply with the law, and now all the materials wore ready, and the necessary work would be proceeded with at once. Mr. Partridge said the Gas Products Utilising Company had been tolerated with great indulgonce, and that for more than two years the nuisance had been in existence. The law could not be played with—nothing had been done. It was no use to have the materials for the proper apparatusos in the factory if they were not made avail able. Tho defendant had been already fined .£5, and he should now inflict a penalty of £l.O and costs. The money was paid. _ _ Joseph Burke, cork manufacturer, of Wapping, was charged with a similar °Mince. .Fined £5, which ho paid. MARKETS.—This day. COVENT GARDEN.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Mellor and a Common Jury. WELTZLEIN V. ZACCARIAH. Mr. H. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Kearns, Q.C., and another learned gentleman for the defendant. Mr. H. James, in opening the case, said that this was an action by his client for false imprison ment, and he claimed damages. The plaintiff was a young man, a native of Germany, but who had Leen in business for some years in this country as a jeweller. The defendant was in partnership with his brother in the Edgware-road, and was also a dealer in jewellery. The plaintiff had different busi ness trans ctions with him,and had lent him money, and it appeared that they were on . intimate and friendly terms for about two years. In the course of his business, the plaintiff occasionally met a per son named Langton, who stated to him that he was a commercial traveller, and that he was employed by a person who dealt in jewellery. Last October the defendant Informed the plaintiff that Langton had applied to him for some jewellery, and he asked his advice as to whether he should let him have it. The plaintiff stated that his knowledge of Langton was limited, and advised him to make some inquiries respecting him before he parted with his goods. This the defendant did not do, and gave Langton articles to the amount of between £l5 and £2O, re ceiving a cheque purporting to be drawn by the party by whom he stated he was employed,. but it proved to be a forgery. The defendant wanted the plaintiff to pay him Langton's debt, and on his re fusing to do so gave him into custody on the 18th October on a charge of conspiring with Langton to defraud him. He was taken before the magistrate . at Marlborough Police-court, and, after being re manded three times and detained in custody, he was diScharged, there being no evidence against him. • The magistrate would have - taken bail, but, being a foreigner he could not procure it with out applying to his wife's friends, a course which he did not like to adopt. The plaintiff was examined at length, and swore positively that he never recommended the defen dant to let Langton have the goods, which the defendant alleged was the case. The evidence was not concluded when we went to press. Naval and Military Intelligence. The screw steamship Una arrived at Spithead yes terday afternoon from Malta, having sailed thence on the 2d inst., with 40 invalided and eight time • expired soldiers on board, from regiments serving in the garrison, accompanied by 10 women and 18 children, the whole under the command of Lieut. Bouchier, Ist battalion GOth Regiment, and in medical charge of Dr. Ross, 2d battalion Bth Regi ment. Six seamen and marines also came home from Malta in the ship. Immediately after the Una's arrival the troops and seamen were disem barked from her, and forwarded to the Royal Mili tary Hospital at Netley, the regimental depots, and her Majesty's ship Victory, the Una afterwards re suming her voyage for London. The armoured iron-frigate Warrior, which was to have been commissioned at Portsmouth yesterday, has commenced coaling, and, with the assistance of the Steam Reserve stokers and seamen, it is hoped she may be completed by Tuesday morning, so that a preliminary trial of her machinery may be made off Spithead on the, following day. The ship's decks are covered with her guns, carriages, and slides, which are being hurried on board by the aid of the masting sheers and their steam crabs. The Re serve men and labourers are coaling her, and a crowd of skilled workmen swarm her decks, giving those " finishing touches," to her fittings which ought to have been given a month ago. Everything is in confusion on board. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :--Dr.Whitaker,at3sist.-surg., to the Implacable ; Richard 11. Tregenna, acting second-class assist.-engineer, to the Dryad. The Great- -City Robberies. Yesterday, at the Guildhall, Frederick Howe, a carpet cutter, employed at Messrs. Fasten and Co.'s, 2, Fell-street, Wood-street, City, was charged with robbing his employers of a large quantity of cork carpeting. Mr. E tsten informed the worthy alderman that he believed he should be able to prove that the prisoner was in collusion with the prisoners who were now under remand for committing very extensive rob beries upon his and other large City firms. _ _ Potts, 135, said front information he received he went that morning, about 11 o'clock, with Mr. Easten, to the Dispatch Coffeehouse, Lif tie Knight rider-street, Doctors'-commons, and on the first floor he found a room covered with a cork carpet ing. He asked the landlord who put that down, and he handed him a receipt signed by theprisoner, dated March 2, for £5 Bs. 4d. Mr. Easten identified the carpet as his,. and they then went to the warehouse in Fell-street, where he saw the prisoner. He showed him the receipt, and asked him if he knew anything about it, and he said he did. Witness asked him if it was accounted for, and he said it was accounted for in the book on the desk. He asked the prisoner what name it was entered to, and he said to Rogers. The prisoner looked through the book, but could not find the name of Rogers. Mr. Easten examined the book, but could not find the name. Mr Easton then gave him into custody. The prisoner gave his ad dress at No. 1, Queen-square, Eldon street, and in a room occupied by a man named Pigeon he found a piece of 12 yards of cork carpet of a different pat tern. He also found a small piece of the same sort of goods of another pattern. At the station house the prisoner said that portion which covered the room in Little Knightrider-street was a portion of 36 yards he received from Mr. Driver, and that he would find a piece more in his room. It was not in his room, but in Pigeon's room at the top of the house. Prisoner said that all he had to say was that he had bought the stuff and paid for it. Mr. John Easten, 2, Fell-street, 'Wood-street, carpet manufacturer, said the prisoner had been in his employment since the close of last year as a floor cloth cutter. Ile worked on the premises. He went with Potts to the coffeehouse in Little Knightrider street, and identified the carpet referred to by the last witness, and also a border round the fire-place like the piece produced. They were his property, and had not been sold to the prisoner. Potts after wards showed the prisoner the receipt, and he said the goods were entered, but the name he could not recollect. At first he said in the name of Rogers, and then Driver. He was looking at the book all the time he was giving those answers. Witness brought the cash sales from the counting-house, but could not find the name of Rogers. He found an entry in the name of Howe, and he said, "That willbe it." Wit ness referred to the day-book, and found it was a Brussels carpet to a Mr. Howe, in the Curtain-road. He then found an entry in the cash sales to the name of Driver for 38 yards of Cork carpet. Ile went to Mr. Driver's and found that his place was covered with 64 yards of that carpet, and an invoice given by Howe similar to that given in the other case. The prisoner said that was the entry; and that it had been entered by Buckley, one of their warehousemen now in custody. His firm did nothing except with the trade. There is no entry of borders to the house in Knightrider-street. The price of the carpet was 3s. 3d. per yard, and Mr. Driver gave a fair price for them. He said the prisoner and Wm. Buckley went together and solicited his custom. Altogether 104 yards had been taken, and 38 paid for. Arthur Pigeon, tailor, said he lived in the same house with the prisoner, who lived in a room on the ground floor. On March 2 the prisoner brought the roll of cloth to his room. He had made clothes for the prisoner and received 30s. on account. He had promised him some pieces to go round the fireplace, and witness expected a few small pieces ; but on 2d March he brought the carpet and asked him to let it go off his bill. He had not named the price it was to be. It had not been put down in his room. Potts here applied for a remand, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded to come up with the other persons now in custody. ihare, tOu .t 4o* to too 100 100 100 all 100 100 123, 5 '59 71 si '163 1131 I is 76 47 1181 I 191 10? a 82 91 924 1081 9 8j 109} f 151 i 92i 1 2 1021 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.-•THIS DAT. A largo muster, and things active, a deal of time being taken up in comparing over the Derby. The leading features were the advance of Marksman, who, at 10 to 1 was supported to win some thousands, and finally 8 to 1 was freely accepted. 6 to 4 was at ono time the highest figure offered against Vauban, about whom 7 to 4 was easily obtainable at close. Van Amburgh found friends at his price, but a point less was earlier in the day accepted; he, however, was in good demand; while the Bake re turned to 9 to 1, taken to money, it being generally believed that he will be amongst. the starters.

In our Monday's editions we shall give full de tails of the gallops of the several Derby, Oaks, and other candidates for the ensuing great Surrey turf carnival, specially supplied to us by one of the most popular sporting writers of the day. NOTES FROIL TRAINING QUARTERS. (The following appeared in our latest edition of yesterday evoning): NEWMARKET. There has been a great number of amateur and profes sional horse watchers here during the week, but The Rake has been their principal attraction. Re has gone in bril liant form of late, and this morning, after having two beautiful can tors with Musician, was set to join Smur do Charite and Artesian in a mils' and three quarters, but unfortunately broke a blood vessel at the finish, which annihilates all his chance for the Derby. The townspeople are in a per fect state of consternation at the sad misfortune. The Oaks filly moved freely. Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah colt did two miles ; and Jennings sent Trocadero, Dragon, and Moutgoubert a good gallop. The Hermit galloped a little over a mile. Pericles led Julius nearly two miles, but very slowly ; and Sealskin pioneered Roquefort and D'Estournol more than a mile and throe-quarters. Jasper was schooling Ilippia. Bounceaway was striding along magnificently. Sir Oliver did very little. STOCKBRIDG E. .This morning Vauban, 'lncas, and Caucasus followed Lord Ronald two cantors of a mile each, and then a gallop of a mile and three quarters. Seville also did a good amount of work, but Ischia and Lady Nestor took it some what easy. Miss ,llaveiock merely cantered. Distiu and Redcap work leading O A two year olds. • MODLETIAM.

El Cid took flutnblekite and Imperator nearly two Miles pretty fast this morning, and th e O a k s filly was m ore qu i et than she was yesterday. Mr. G. S. Thompson, who is to pilot her at Epsom, has been hero two or threo times this week. Stratheonan led Viol -t a Ind, and three-quarters. Newl.ind galloped a inile-and-a-llalf. and liawkswell diet a mile-and-,-q liarter at good speed.

A SPORTING BARBER. -~----- Wo extract the following amusing sketch, "which treats of Mr. Daniel Essom and other matters," from the current number of Baily's Magazine Progress, like poverty, meets with strange bedfellows. The person who daily takes Heatherthorp by the nose, and keeps its locks fashionably trimmed is a curious admixture of sport andsarnest. "Mr. Daniel Essom, Hairdresser anq Hatter. Schools contracted for," variously known : As " Mr. Essom," " Friend Daniel," and " Little Dan," is, a marvel. He is a barber of the conventional type, in se far as he is brisk, dapper, oily, pragmatical—but London training on Yorkshire breeding has giVen him a mind of his own and the pluck to enunciate his opinions without fear or favour. He loves a bit of racing ; revels in the study of a complicated handicap; has strong views on, breeding; bets; and—but I must not enumerate his othor characteristics in this sentence. By dint of attending t:Le 3 Fleet-street forums an entire season, when he was a Vary young man, ho picked up radicalism, learnt to talk politi cs! economy, and to rail against Church-rates. things to shake hands with each other—Racing and Radi calism ; but in Daniel Essoin's regards they were equal and their community produced au eccentric result. He did not sing with Captain Macheath "How happy could I be with either, Were t'other dear charmer away." But he most certainly lived out the sentiment. His shor t has always been the Tattersalls' of Heatherthorp (or, - As he would put it, thinking of Manchester), its Post OPA cs Hotel, thither flocking a racing clientele on the look-orA for good things, the parochially disaffected, the hungeretw and thir , ters after political emancipation, and the puttera-dows, of Church-rates. Many an amused hour have I passed in little Dan's shop, To watch the varied play of feature as the sporting-po tical hairdresser dismissed ono interest, on the instant, t o espouse another, was in itself a liberal physiognomio n i education. One of his sturdiest friends was old Barjor ar and yet the two opposites (the poles could not be wide, asunder) seldom parted comprny without breaking a la_n ce , on the subject of racing. When Sir Harry Sursingle's bay colt Lightning (by Meteor out of Electricity) landed the Derby—Sir Harry is Tory member for the Riding of which Heatherthorp is a not unimportant parliamentary morsel—the vicar, who, it was subsequently whispered, smelt a rat, was quietly got out of the way " to visit a distant parishioner," and a celebrated society .of change ringers bidden to Heatherthorp to startle hill and dale with clanging, if not musical, news of the colt's vic tory. The grey steeple of St. Martin's-the-Less fairly shook again as the ringers, specially primed for the occa sion, "rang a peal of grandsire trebles consisting of 1867 changes"—for so the jolly clamour was described in the succeeding Saturday's "Bell" -and the "grandsire trebles' were at their very loudest, when Nathan Barjona entered the shop of Mr. Daniel Essom. He was on his way to "Meeting." The hairdresser, I should say, had devoted the greater part of the afternoon to sherry and—Light ning. "Daniel," said Nathan, "I'll trouble thee to shave me, if"—looking the operator's unusually bland and rosy visage curiously over—" thy feelings will permit thee." " D—, that is, never mind my feelings, Mr. Barjona," brusquely replied Daniel, somewhat nettled at the quiet tone of sarcasm adopted by the querist, "I can shave, sir," —tying a cloth rather roughly round his patient's throat - " I can shave, sir ; and what is more, I have a nerve of iron—of i-ron, sir"—giving the cloth an addition d twist. " Doubtless" replied the Quaker, who was nearly chok ing, " the muscles resemble tke m,tal in question, but un less thou desirest to be guilty of strangulation exercise more care." " Oh ! it's all r*glit," rejoined Dan. lle commenced the saoonaceous process. Presently the dl.luele was resumed. " Art thou aware of the meaning of this unseemly cla mour at the steeple-house ?" ,4 " Has the parson been made a bishop ?" " Not that I know of." "Is —do b-be less lavish of thy lather, Daniel—is the vicar about to journey to another portion of the vineyard, where the grapes hang in thicker clusters ?" "Can't say," replied Daniel, shortly, beginning to strop a razor with exemplary fury. " "Thou art strangely obtuse this evening, friend Daniel. "Nell, then," observed Daniel, speaking with g reat de liberation, as he proceeded to scrape his pertinacio us in terrogator's chin, "you remember, I dare say, that your principal objection to the rates last year was—pray don't speak, or I shall cut you—was about the money paid to t he bellringers. You properly contended that it was an illegal outlay, or, if legal, not fairly earned. Very good ; the ringers are afraid you may repeat your objection at the next vestry meeting, and they have met to ring off arrears. They don't expect to get through till midnight ! You re side near the church—" The Quaker could stand it no longer, but hastily wiping his face rushed from the shop. " I think I had him the re," soliloquised Dan, as he watched Nathan on his way to Meeting. " The old codger is sound enough on 801110 points; but ho never will under stand what it is to land asoto 1 chance. Lightning, my boy, I never fancied your owner; but you're a beauty!"
