LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1867. ---~--- Last night, in the House of Lords, Lord REDES DALE moved the first reading of a bill for the pur pose of introducing the same provisions exactly as Sir FRANCIS CROSSLEY had done, in connection with the park he had presented to Halifax, respect ing the parks of London. His Lordship declared that he did so as one of her MAJESTY'S subjects, who wished for protection and comfort in the en joyment of the parks. The Government had brought in a bill to provide for the prevention of further meetings being held in the parks, but from motives of prudence the measure had not been proceeded with. The very words used by Sir FRANCIS CROSS LEY were employed by the noble lord in the com pilation of his scheme, to the effect that the park should not be used, on any accasion, for " the pur pose of holding political and other meetings, nor for open-air proceedings, or celebration of anni►er saries, of unions, clubs, or benefit societies." This plan seems a wise one, and it would have saved a great deal of confusion and loss if such a bill had been passed some years before. Parliament is the proper authority to deal with the question. The respective corporations deal with the pro vincial parks, but in the case of the metro politan parks such a thing could not be done. The Earl of DERBY said that he could not express any decided oponion upon this subject while it was being considered by her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. The law officers of the CROWN have de clared that there is no question whatever with re spect to the rights of the CROWN regarding the Royal parks. It seems that the difficulty lies in regard to the penalties for enforcing the regu lations, not in the right to make the regulations. At present any person who violates the bye-laws the CROWN has a right to make in virtue of owner ship for the protection of the parks can only be proceeded against as a trespasser, and that course cannot be taken unless personal notice has been given to the trespasser. This appears a very un satisfactory state of things, and few can believe that a remedy is not loudly called for. As the noble Earl truly observed, the penalty for trespassing has been found quite inadequate for the purpose, and a more efficient remedy is called for. There is no doubt that the establishment of such penalties as will prevent the violation of the regulations which are framed for the benefit of the public, for whose recreation the Parks are thrown open, will, as Lord DERBY says, meet with general approval. Lord PORTMAN made some sensible observations on this vexed question. He said that he did not see why the law that was wanted for Hyde Park might not be carried out for every park in the kingdom, especially as there would be less • objection to the alterations if they were not restricted to a particular place. The bill was read a first time, but it seems doubtful if the matter will be proceeded with ; at any rate, the noble lord has done good service by calling at tention to the subject, which unfortunately, like many others, never engages notice except at periods of excitement, when judgment is perverted and passions interfere to the prejudice of justice, and prevent many from arriving at a clear understand ing of the question. Respecting the Habeas Corpus Act Lord DERBY proposed that the House should sit to-day for a short time in order to receive a bill for the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, it being necessary that no time should be lost in the matter, because the existing law of suspension expires on the Ist of June ; and in consequence of the absence of the QUEEN at Balmoral a longer period must elapse before the Royal assent can be obtained. There is no doubt that the matter will be satisfactorily settled, since their Lordships' House will not be troubled with any of the lengthy harangues which impede progress in the lower branch of the Legislature. The import ance of the interest at stake will induce those who may have scruples as to the advisability of the course proposed to postpone their judgment, so as to avert the mischief that might follow upon any delay in keeping up that supervision and authority which will alone secure peace in Ireland. The Government have evidently resolved to use every effort to carry their Reform Bill through both Houses of Parliament this session, and in this de termination they will, we think, find themselves supported by the majority in Parliament and in the country. When all parties have pretty well agreed upon the main features of the bill it would be a matter of great regret if the substantial good to be gained by the settlement of the long-vexed question during the present year were sacrificed to petty disputes about matters of detail, which are really of little moment. The Ministers have not, however, an easy task, and a new difficulty has lately arisen from the impatience of Scotch and Irish members with respect to their national reform bills. Mr. DISRAELI last evening, in answer to au appeal of this kind, boldly declared that, unless for a matter of State exigency, the Government did not intend to proceed with any business whatever until the English Reform Bill had passed through committee. This is a prudent resolve, since the Commons can be discussing► the Scotch and Irish Bills while the Lords are debating on the merits and demerits of the English measure ; and it is evident that the work yet to be done will not be accomplished within the given time unless great efforts are made, and the House keeps steadily at work. The Irish members, however, always jc.alons for their nation, are inclined to resent the inevitable delay, and last evening several of them showed some temper on the matter, and the fair promises of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were received without much gra titude. As soon after Whitsuntide as possible, promised the Leader of the House, while apologis ing for the postponement, and endeavouring to soothe the wrathful Hiberniaus, but he declined to give them any anticipatory information, an instance of reserve which was not surprising, considering the criticisms and censures to which the coming bill was anything but encouraging. Several speakers professed themselves very eager to know the terms of the bill, and to be satisfied as to particular points, but as it was quite evident that whatever the bill was to be it would find a host of objectors, the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEvEn showed a wise dis cretion in refusing to satisfy their curiosity. Last year he reminded them that the Irish bill was not introduced till the month of May, and they were still in the month of May. It is true that the ob jectors might have replied that Whitsuntide will no longer find us in May, but they must remember that the Scotch and Irish bills will be likely to make much more rapid progress when the English bill is out of the way. M r . DISRAELLI promises the Irish members that they shall have plenty of time and opportunity to discuss the provisions of the Irish Reform Bill, and no doubt the same opportunity will be afforded to the Scotch Al.P.'B, who have, however, usually less to say about their affairs. It is the best policy on all accounts to push on the English bill. If we can get a comprehensive measure agreed upon for Eng land, there will not be much reason to fear that the remaining bills may be satisfactorily disposed of. Mr. HODGKINSON is not inclined to acccept the Government adaptation of his suggestion, so there are more difficulties to be adjusted before the com pound householder is finally got rid of. Patience and perseverance, however, can accomplish most things, and we hope to see them achieve this troublesome task before the Whitsuntide holidays. By this time, we should imagine, that very little surprise will be occasioned by the announcement of anything that is done by the Prussians, but really the conduct of the Berlin Government is most bare faced, and the demands made upon the people of Prussia are quite inexcusable. The last news is that the landed estate of Randnitz, in East Prussia, is to be bought out of the public funds, and pre sented to Prince FREDERICK CHARLES, in recogni tion of his military services. This is a very unnecessary arrangement, and there might have been many other ways found for the recognition of the said services, which, after all, amounted to very little. The war contributions which Prussia has insisted upon hate been excessive, and the fact of Hesse-Darmstadt being included among the tax payers is indeed significant. It shows that no con siderations of delicacy, no suggestions of _courtesy, and no motives of prudence even can possibly avail to stay the course determined upon by these ruth less innovators. Surely in all conscience there is sufficient loss occasioned to these unfortunate States without their being watched after the fashion al luded to. However, there is no hope of escape or reprieve for those whose destiny puts them in the power of the Prussians, and all they can do is to look forward to better days. Of a piece with the rest of their assurance, the Prussians now declare that three months is the very shortest term that she can fix upon for the evacua tion of Luxemburg. Every one must know that such an arrangement is an unnecessary one ; but so it is. The French Government do not put much faith in the matter of Prussian subjects, and no doubt some means will be devised whereby the word of promise may be kept in the letter but broke in the spirit. It is suggested that a " Rastadt question" may spring up eventually to take the place of a Luxemburg difficulty, but this is not very certain as yet. The real danger lies in the fact that a very bad understanding exists be tween France and Prussia, and there is no denying it. So far the difficulty has been tided over, but the affair is by no means a settled or a secure one, and it wants but a spsrk to set the whole in a conflagration. We may well rejoice at the success of the London Conference, which has tended to improve the state of things in both coun tries, but at the same time it will not do to shut our eyes to the fact that lurking behind the fes tivities of Paris there is a shadow of coming evil, and no prudent politician will be deceived into the belief that peace will reign for a very lengthened period. Several efforts are being made to supply the lack of schools for the poorer classes. The finance com mittee of the National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor have just set aside £5,000 to enable them to increase their ordinary grants for building school-rooms when applications come from thinly-peopled districts in England and Wales. It is thought that in some such places the schools, if they were once established, would find means of support, and at any rate it is dezirable that opportunities for education should be afforded to the people. The great want, how ever, is rather in our populous towns and great cities than in rural and thinly-peopled districts, and we only had to see a sensible and practical move ment towards assisting the education of the lower middle classes. A meeting was held on Thursday, at Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, in aid of the self-supporting boarding schools in connection with St. Nicholas College, Sussex. The object of these schools is to provide a sound plain educa tion for the sons of small tradesmen—persons of very limited means, the charge being only 14 guineas a year. How schools can be made self supporting at such a rate is a marvel, but so far as they have gone they have been eminently success ful. Only one wing of the intended building, which is to accommodate 1,000 boys, has been erected, but the demand for the admission of boys, especially from London, is so urgent that the erection of a second wing is found to be immedi ately necessary. The majority of the boys come from London, boys being sent from every parish. The class for which the schools are intended is more strongly represented in the metropolis than any, where else, and we can easily believe that the sup ply of a long-felt want will give great relief to many. The lower middle classes have suffered more than any other from the lack of public schools. They are too high for the national or denominational charity schools, and too low for the large public schools, where men of some wealth or position send their sons. A professional man or a merchant, if he do not attempt to send his son to Eton or Harrow, can at least secure a good boarding-school, but the struggling clerk or small tradesman who can only afford fifteen or twenty pounds a year for the edu cation of his son cannot afford to be particular. He must take what he can get for the money, and in former days, before competitive examinations and University inspectors had raised the standard of instruction and afforded a test of the ability of the schoolmaster, even costly pri vate establishments were not always reliable. We are endeavouring to bring forward our lower classes in every possible manner, but we shall never benefit them permanently or effectually until we improve the character and quality of their educa tion. The effects of a good and sound education, however plain or limited, are be felt g d la u d rin if g t a he wh ida o e le life, and NN e shall therefore which directionsoriginate under originated sr other t sc e h r oo m ls a n ca ag n e mbee nt. extended in other THE PRINCESS OF WALES. —The increasing severity of the weather has made the past week a trying one, even for those who cannot be considered inva lids. Her royal highness has not escaped an attack of cold and sore throat, a discomfort from which few persons have been exempt, but which in her case was not particularly severe, and was unattended by rheumatism. With the exception of this passing ailment, the condition of the patient has continued satisfactory. Nothing has occurred to interrupt the process of repaic which the affected joint is undergoing. The limb is necessarily still confined in a splint, kept in an extended position, and suspended in a cradle. No attempt at bending the knee has been made, and, indeed, the joint is still so sensitive, and susceptible of pain upon the slighest hint of motion, that its preserva tion in a state of absolute rest would be instinctive even if it were not made compulsory. There is nothing unusual iu the case, which is similar in character to a score one may see daily in the metropolitan hospitals. Her royal highness is in the ordinary condition of a person who has had extremely acute inflammation of all the textures of the knee-joint, including its . cartilages, and the time has not yet arrived at which any attempt at movement can be safely made.—Lancet.

WORK AND TVAGES IN QUEENSLAND, The following is an extract from a letter of an emigrant to a friend in Edinburgh, dated " Bris bane, Queensland, March 19, 1867 :"—" My expec tations regarding this colony have been sadly dis appointed. Work has been very scarce, and money even more so. About ten months ago there was a general complaint among the unemployed, and Go vernment was forced to open what are called relief camps,' and employ between 400 and 500 men in making roads and bridges, paying them at the rate of 2s. 6d. per day. Men were obliged to accept this wage or starve, and it yielded them but a scanty subsistence.,This state of things continued till about January last, when Government funds fell so low that it was impossible to keep the men working even at that reduced wage, and about half of them were paid off; and now they are nearly all thrown idle. I do not think there are above 30 or 40 at work out of the 500. It is really too bad to announce in the home newspapers that wages average from 10s. to 12s. per day for mechanics, and from 6s. to Bs. for labourers. I can assure you that I have seen first class mechanics—blacksmiths, engineers, means, joiners, &c.--as well as several highly educated men, working on the roads with pick and shovel, and even breaking stones, at 2s. 6d. per day. It is cruel to mislead people by pub lishing imaginary accounts of the prosperity of the colony, and cause many to break up com fortable homes in the old country and come out here to be scorched under a tropical sun, as well as starved from want of work. The colo n y is in a very unsatisfactory condition. Almost every article of consumption has to be imported, and the exports are only wools and hides. Some people talk of its growing cotton and sugar, but one season is too wet, another too dry, and the heat so intense that the crops are burnt up. The land has also de creased very much in value. For example, an allot ment, with a house upon it, which could not have been bought under £lOO about 18 months ago, can not now realise £2O ; and an allotment for which I have seen £25 refused cannot now find a purchaser at £4."—Scotsman.

He was a brother of the eminent Dr. William Pulteney Alison, Professor of the Practice of Physic in the University of Edin burgh, who died a few years ago esteemed and honoured, not only for his high medical skill, but for his rare and disinterested philanthropy. The deceased baronet was a cadet of the family of Alison of Newhall, Forfarshire, and his grandfather was a magistrate of Edinburgh. His father, in the earlier years of his ministry, filled different incum bencies in Shropshire ; and the subject of our notice was born at Kenley, Shropshire, on the 29th of Dec.•mber, 1792, and was thus by the accident of birth an Englishman, though in all his traditions and feelings and tastes a thorough Scot. His mother, Dorothea Gregory, was the granddaughter of the 17th Lord Forbes. Sir Archibald was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he enjoyed the advantage of studying under such men as llugald Stewart, Playfair, and Leslie, and where he car ried off the highest honours in the mathematical and Greek classes, in one of which departments of study (mathematics) it may be remarked, several of his maternal ancestors had ac quired distinction. In 1814 he passed the bar of Scotland, but he devoted the first few years after Obtaining professional status to a con tinental sojourn, in the course of which he made himself well acquainted with the condition and history of the principal countries in Europe. In 1822 he was appointed one of the advocates de pute under Sir William Ray, then Lord Advocate, and held that office till the dissolution of the Wel lington Ministry in 1830. Shortly aftewards, while out of office, he published his well-known treatise on the criminal law, which soon obtained the cha racter of a standard authority on that branch of jurisprudence. In 1834 he was appointed sheriff of Lanarkshire by Sir Robert Peel, which office he held up to the period of his death. In 1833 ap peared the first volume of his celebrated " History of Europe from the Commencement of the French Revolution in 1789 to the Restoration of the Bour bons in 1815"—a remarkable work, which has been translated into nearly every European language, and even into Arabic and Hindustani. It may be mentioned that of the library edition of the history 108,000 volumes have been sold, and of the people's edition 439,000 volumes. In 1852 Sir Archibald published the first volume of a continuation of his " History," of which a good many volumes have been published, bringing down the work to the accession of Louis Napoleon. The continuation, however, is generally admitted to want the fire and animation of his original work, while it treats of subjects that are really too new to be received in the domain of history. As annals of the later period, however, they are full of interest and copious in detail. Sir Archibald was also the author of a ' Life of Marlborough," in two volumes ; " Essays —Historical, Political, and Miscellaneous," ori ginally published in " Blackwood's Magazine," in three volumes ; and " The Principles of Popula tion," in two volumes. Sir Archibald Alison was created a baronet by the Government of Lord Derby in 1852. In 1855 he was appointed Lord Rector of Marischal College, Aberdeen ; and six years later the University of Glasgow conferred on him the same honour. In 1853 he received the degree of D.C.L. from the University of Oxford. The deceased gentleman married in 1825 a daughter of Lieut.-Col. Patrick Ty tier (some time Assistant Quartermaster -General for Scotland), and grand daughter of Lord Alva (Hon. JaMes Erskine), Judge in the Court of Session. The deceased is succeeded in his title by his son Archibald, born in Edinburgh in 1826, who married, in 1858, a daughter of Mr. James Connell Black. With the present Sir Ar chibald's military career many of our readers are familiar. He served for a good many years with the 72d Highlanders, and was through the principal part of the Crimean war. Afterwards he was ap pointed to the Staff of Lord Clyde, and served under that gallant soldier in the arduous campaign which followed the Indian mutiny. He was present at the capture of Lucknow. His distinguished services gained for him in 1861 the honour of C. 8., and ho uow holds the office of Assistant Adjutant-General with the rank of colonel.—Edinburgh Courant. IItELAND. DUBLIN, May 24. The most important case tried before the Dublin Commission Court yesterday was one for tampering with a soldier in order to induce him to transfer his al!egiance from the Queen to the Irish Republic. Edward Butler was indicted for this offence. The principal witness was the soldier whom he attempted to seduce, John Rain, or Rein, of the 85th Regi- ment. He was corroborated by Private Moore and others. The plan adopted was treating the soldiers tl drink in certain public-houses, talking to them of patriotism and tyranny, promising an early rising for the delivery of the country; and then adminis tering the Fenian oath on a prayer-book. The pri- soner was defended by Mr. Hamill. The jury, after deliberating for two hours and a half, brought in a verdict of guilty. The charge was delivered by Mr. Justice Fitz gerald, who availed himself of the opportunity to give some important admonitions to those who had been duped by the Fenian conspirators. Addressing the prisoner his lordship said : You, a man who had been earning fair wages, and your wife keeping a shop, are now, for the se cond time, at the bar of this Court, and obliged to stand the sentence that this Court must impose upon you. I hope that this case, as well as some others that we had to try, will at last open the eyes of the deluded people of this country to the conse quences of the confederacy in which they have been engaged. And there is one circumstance that I ought to allude to. It ought to be known in every house in the country—it is a circumstance that came before us this week. A person named Duffy was tried here, as having been a leading member of that confederacy. He was convicted, and be did not deny the justice of that conviction. He was a friend of Stephens, the head of that confederacy, his bosom friend, his most trusted man ; and he, standing in the " position that you do, de nounced that Stephens as one lost to honour and to his country—as one that had induced people to come here to fight, pledged himself to be with them when the time came, and who is now wisely amus ing himself at the French Exhibition. If there is anything that ought to open the eyes of the de luded people of this country to their folly and mad ness, it is that one fact. But, however, when we find, in the course of the trials here, that a delibe rate system has been attempted of inducing soldiers, upon whom we rest for safety, to abandon that oath of allegiance which they had taken to the Queen, and, in place of it, to swear allegiance to what has been called the ' Irish Republic,' we would be want ing in our duty to the public at large, whom we now represent, if we did not, by a substantial pun ishment, endeavour to repress that evil. We have given our best consideration to the mitigatory cir cumstances of your case, to the facts of your good character and previous good conduct, and to the imprisonment you have already suffered ; but we feel still that we should not perform our public duty if we inflicted a less sentence upon you than that you be detained in penal servitude for a term of five years." The prisoner was then removed. Loud exclama tions were made in the gallery by a woman, who, it is supposed, is his wife. A number of persons pleaded " Guilty" to hav ing arms in a proclaimed district, and were dis charged on their own recognizauces. The trial for high treason at the Cork Special Commission was interrupted yesterday by a demand that Capt. M'Clure, the principal prisoner, might be permitted to withdraw his plea of " Not guilty," and put in a plea of " Guilty." Addressing the Court, he said : "My lords, I wish to say a few words to your lordships in extenuation of my past conduct. I wish the trial to go on, in order that my conduct on the night of the sth of March should be before the public. lam glad that no blood was shed on that night, and no personal outrage committed, and that when I had unarmed men in my power no insult was offered to them. I was made to believe by traitors that I came to assist an oppressed people, but, finding I was fatally deceived by lies they told me, I then did everything in my power to prevent injury to any human being. My lords, I now de sire to save your lordships and the jury any further trouble, and I ask liberty to plead guilty to the charge preferred against me." _ _ The Attorney-General had no objection, but he cautioned the prisoner that he would be in the same position as if he had been found guilty. Chief Justice Monahan having explained this matter to M'Clure, he said he was aware of that, and persisted in pleading guilty. He was then put aside, and the trial of the other prisoners proceeded. A number of witnesses deposed to the overt acts of rebellion in which the prisoners were engaged, and with which the public are familiar. Mr. heron ad dressed the jury for the defenee iu a lengthened speech, in which he dealt with the history of high treason in Ireland. The Solicitor-.general replied, and Chief Justice Monahan then charged the jury, who, after an absence of about an hour, returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoners Kelly, Joyce, and Cullinane, recommending them, however, to mercy. Sentence was deferred. By telegraph from London, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has announced to the Lord Mayor that he will receive the memorial from the citizens at 1 o'clock this day, praying his Excellency to spare the lives of the Fenian prisoners now under sentence of death. The Lord Mayor being absent on public business this intimation has been commu nicated .to his locum towns, Alderman Moylan, and arrangements have been made that the deputation shall assemble at the Mansion-house to-day, at 12 o'clock, and thence proceed to the Viceregal Lodge. The May Flower Show of the Royal Agricul tural Society was held yesterday in the Rotunda gardens. The weather was favourable, the attend ance numerous and fashionable, and the display of flowers, plants, and vegetables was one of the finest ever seen in connection with the society's exhibitions for some years past. The Lord Lieutenant this day, in reply to a de putation to present a memorial praying that the life of Burke might be spared, stated that he could hold out no hope, not even that the execution should be postponed. The Government, after anxious con sideration, have determined that the law shall take its course. At Cork M'Clure, Kelly, Joyce, and Cullinane have been sentenced to be executed on Wednesday, the 19th of June. James O'Brien is now on trial for high treason. Metropolitan Board of Works. The ordinary weekly meeting of this Board was held yesterday at the offices, Spring-gardens—Sir J. Thwaites, the chairman, presiding. The cash statement of the Finance Committee was presented, and showed the following cash balances in the hands of the treasurer :—General account, £59,455 18s. 10d. ; Covent garden approach, £514 16s. 10d ; Southwark and Westminster communication, £352 Bs. 10d. ; Victoria Park approach, £250 19s. ld. ; Finsbury Park, £835 19s. lld ; main drainage rate collection, £1,549 13s. 9d. ; Southwark Park, £14,959 19s. ; fire brigade, £23,952 19s. 11d. ; Whitechapel improvement, £41,235 3s. 9d. ; Hol born improvement, £39,030 15s. 10d. ; Kensington improvement, £50,000; total £232,128 15s. 9d. At the Bank of England :—Metropolis Main Drainage, £43,039 15s. 9d ; Thames Embankment (North), £153:307 Bs. 2d. ; Southern Embankment, £28,855 3s. ld. ; Mansion-house-street, £59,49115. sd. ; and the grand total, £516,822 18s. sd. Payments were recommended to the amount of £64,210 2s. 4d. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. The Finance Committee reported that their at tention had been directed to the amount standing to the credit of the Southern Embankment ac count at the Bank of England, and having regard to the payment to be made therefrom, they recom mended that the sum of £25,001 be transferred from the Thames Etnbanktnent North account to the Southern Embankment account. Upon the motion of Mr. DALTON, this was agreed THE VALUATION OF PROPERTY BILL. This bill has been considered by the Finance Com inittee, and was to provide for a common basis of value of property for the purpose of Government and local taxation. The committee were of opinion that the machinery created by the bill was not ap plicable to the metropolis, and advised the Board to take no steps to have the metropolis included in the measure. THE FIRE BRIGADE. A long report was brought up from this commit tee, but nothing of public importance was contained therein. THE OUTBREAK OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The Cattle Plague Committee reported that seve ral outbreaks have occurred during the past week, and although they regretted that the necessity had arisen for prompt actiun, they felt that the only way to get rid of the disease was to re-form the whole of the local committees, and stamp it out as soon as it was found to exist. Mr. DALTON, in moving the adoption of the re port, said a sudden outbreak had come upon them, not merely in Islington, but in several other parts of London, and it was necessary to take prompt action. The only way to do so would be to reappoint the local committees, and do their best to stamp it out as soon as it appeared. Mr. EvaNs drew attention to a remark that was made in the House of Commons on the previous evening, that the local authorities were very lax in their duties, and wished to know if any case had come under the notice of the Board that had not received immediate attention. The remarks he alluded to were as follows:—" Sir J. Hanmer asked whether it was true that cattle from German ports were brought into Hull and other ports on the eastern coast, which, instead of being slaughtered, being only in a half•fat state, were surreptitiously put among other stock and carried about the country, to the great danger of again bringing about the cattle plague. Lord It. Montagu said he had not heard that this was the case from official sources, bat he placed great reliance on what had reached him. He believed that many of the local authorities were very lax in carrying out the act of Parliament and the restrictions of the Privy Council." The CHAIRMAN said, so far from that being the case, the board had been most prompt in its action. He might mention that one case had come under their notice about 1 o'clock, about five miles from the board's office, and the committee were summoned, the place declared infected, the cattle slaughtered, and the vestry communicated with before 4 o'clock, and he did not think any machinery could have done it more quickly. He believed every case would be dealt with promptly, there being no necessity for more than two or three hours' delay before a legal order was issued declaring the neighbourhood in which the disease broke out to be an infected place, and by that means, as far as possible, to encircle it and stamp it out. He presumed he should be autho rised to state officially to the President of the Privy Council the course the Board had taken on the matter. This was agreed to, and the report was then una nimously adopted. The other business, which was of a routine charac ter, was disposed of, and the Board adjourned. A TRIPLE JEWISH WEDDING.—Three Jewesses, sisters, the daughters of our respected townsman, Mr. B L. Joseph, of Pendennis House, Beaufort-road, Edgbaston, were married on Thursday. Miss Joseph, the eldest, to Mr. Ephraim Joseph, of Gloucester; Miss Caroline Joseph to Mr. Jonas Lang, of London ; and Miss Matilda Joseph to Mr. I. Oppenheim, of Penzance. The ceremony took place at the residence of Mr. Joseph, in the presence of a large assembly of relatives and friends of the family. The Rev. Mr. Chapman, assisted by the Rev. G. J. Emmanuel, 8.A., officiated. When the rite had been gone through in accordance with the forms of the Jewish Church, the Rev. Mr. Emmanuel addressed a few suitable words of admoui ticn to the three married couples. A sumptuous wedding dinner was afterwards given at the Plough and Harrow Hotel, where about 106 guests sat down, and the festivities of the day were concluded by a grand ball iu the evening. .Birtninyham Gazette. - - ..4-,-;-',..,,, • - TOT rit : N=to 13 1.4ti 1 y I 1 10 .. .k...__ . HER MAJESTY, &c• THE QUEEN'S JOURNEY TO BALMORAL. The royal train arrived at the General Station, Perth, at 8.24 on Thursday morning, being one minute before time. As usual, the royal party and suite partook of breakfast in the apartments set apart for that purpose by the General Station Joint Committee. After a stoppage of an hour ,the train proceeded ou its imrney northwards. The train was timed . to arrive at Bridge 0 f Dun at 10.36, and the station was reached 131 the royal train exactly at time. The wind W" pretty strong, and as the day was dry, cold, and dusty, travellers had no great comfort. Still there was a good number of spectators. The train did not come up to the usual place on the platform, so that the crowd had to change position hurriedly after its arrival. The Queen did not look out, and was not visible till the train Ivas leaving, when she bowed to the spectators, but they replied not save by waving of handkerchiefs. The halt lasted for 10 minutes. On the way from Aberdeen to Balmoral, Ferri den was reached at 11.51, exactly the hour the royal train was timed to arrive. The windows of the royal saloon were up when the train stopped, and were not put down during the stoppage, which lasted about four minutes. Her Majesty, however, eat quite close to the window, and once or twice stood up and looked out, acknowledging graciously the welcome given her by the assemblage. As the train moved off on its way by the Deeside Railway to Ballater, a hearty cheer was raised, which her Majesty acknowledged by bowing once or twice. Aboyne was reached after a pleasant run of fully an hour. Here her Majesty left the train with the Princess Louise and posted to Balmoral, as' ebc used to do before the railway was extended W Ballater. The royal suite went on to Ballater with the carriage, and thence posted to Balmoral, whic h was reached about three o'clock. The day wa s cold, with a north-easterly wind and slight shower s of hail and rain during the latter part of the journey. THE ARISTOCRACY iN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. It is almost impossible without personal inquill to find out without a large debateable margin, who is, and who is not, possessed of a landed estate. Bu t in the matter of the aristocratic interest inside th e House of Commons, Dod's "Parliamentary Gu ide'' furnishes the materials for a very adequate analyslo• According then to Dud, in the Parliament of Augus t 1865 there were returned 71 baronets, 11 elder sore of baronets, 19 younger sons of baronets, and 8 grand" sons of baronets ; a total for the baronetage alone of 110. There were also 37 peers, or elder sons of peers, 64 younger sons of peers, and 15 grandsons of peers ; a total of 116 members of Parliament for the peerage, and for the peerage and baronetage together a total of 226. Besides these there are one hundred commoners sitting in Parliament who ar e connected with the peerage by marriage or descen t : The aristocratic class, or element, in the House 01 Commons has therefore a grand total of at least 3 2 1 members. And, unquestionably, this number would be found, if an exhaustive search were made among other sources of informafion, to be below the marls' When it is remembered that in the fullest house 0° record, namely, on the 28th April, 1866, those Wh ° voted in the majority had only 320 votes, the Duo' ber 326 as the symbol of caste in the House of Com" mons is significant. But even leaving out of vle 4 the remaining 120 or 130 members who substantia ll f belong to the same class, there are one or two more eal." culations which confirm the results obtained in tb branch of the analysis. The existence of 326 moo; bers representing one class in the House is on l y 0° view of the case. These men are not mere sepaO te t units, like insurance office directors ; they are 00 a mere - Venetian set of a few families, but, to re peat an expression already used, one vast cous in ; hood. It was lately said of Lord Granville, Oa he represents the " cousins in Parliament." if " does, he may be congratulated on his po liiteP I power, for " the cousins" mean simply three - f ourth s f of the House of Commons, and the connection of those three-fourths not only with one another' but with the House of Lords. There are in tile House of Commons 79 members who repres ent alliance between peer and peer, 53 who represe o ; an alliance between a peer and a baronet, and 2er between baronet and baronet. Or taking an otia 6 view-117 members in the House represent o°_, peerage by marriage or descent, 67 members rePro''r sent two peerages, 18 represent three peerages. 1%1. e is this confined to the aristocratic element. Seni, time ago an ex-governor of the Bank of °g., land in the House of Commons told one of the Pr 1f foundest political writers of the day that he hiin ee o was related to 30 other members of Parliament , . A eo sitting with him at that time. And this view SI I „, us an insight into the extraordinary political 0", darity of the upper classes.
