They feel they owe you . these acknowledgments, not only on account of the heir demands for aid where accident or other cause obliged hem to seek for their steamers the use of the dock or the for the urbane, obliging, and courteous mariner in which that assistance has been invariably rendere d. Waiving all irregularities of time, place, and manner, you hive always listened to their application, never suffering a difficulty to arise, and often on eceasions of emergency and importance rendering with your friendly personal interest the benefit of your large and cultivated experience. It was, of course, to be expected such an example would extend itself to these subordinate to you in authority. And so it has. There is, perhaps, in her Majesty's dominions no similar esta blishment possessing a more competent, zealous, and intelligent staff of executive officers than the Malta Dockyard, or men who more heartily render or more per fectly reflect in the discharge of the duties they know so well how to perfor m, the spirit, the geniay, a telligence of their chief. The subscribers of this address, in begging you to accept their very sincere good wishes for your future health and happiness, take leave to express a hope that you may be spared many years to serve your co untry in a still more exalted professional position, where the qualities of an accomplished and polished intellect and a kind and generous heart may find a wider field of public usefulness.—We have the honour to remain, sir, your obliged and faithful servants." [Here follow the names of the subscribers.] To which the admiral returned the following reply : " Gentlemen,—l thank you from my heart for the kind expressions towards myself with which you have just ad dressed me. In any assistance afforded by this dockyard I have been so readily supported by its officers and those under them, that I feel I am now speaking in their name as well as my own.

No horse show will be of any ser vice unless it comprises the very best of animals of every class, and the responsibilities pertaining to their care, and other circumstances connected with it, are so great that it is doubtful if it would prove successful. It should be mentioned that there is also a poul try show attached to the dog show, in the same hall, and that it will consist of about 300 pens of the choicest birds in the kingdom. The general arrangements have been carried out under the direction of Mr. Sidney, the secretary, and Mr. Bird, the clerk of the works, and the animals are so secured that there need be no apprehension of any danger on the part of the public, or injury from the animals. It is believed that the hour at which the Prince and Princess of Wales wil visit the show to-day will be about 3 p.m. IRELAND, DUBLIN, Saturday Evening. REPRESENTATION OF NEW ROSS, When Mr.M'Kenna,of the National Bank, stood for New Ross on a former occasion he was only beaten by a narrow majority of nine, and this circumstance encourages his friends here to hope that he will now succeed in winning the borough provided he comes forward, of which they affect to have no doubt. The success, however, of Col. Tottenham's canvass and Me. M'Kenna's slowness in addressing the constituency, render it likely that there will be no contest, and that the Conservative candidate will have a tranquil walk over.

GRAND OPERA.—Rossini's charming little opera " Comte Ory" has been revived here, and forms a delightful addition to the ballet of " Giselle " to which Mlle. Mouraweif has restored all its original popularity. " Comte Ory," as our readers are aware, is one of the composer's gems, and breathes the spirit of melody and gaiety from the first bar to the last. It is fairly suited to the voice of Warot, and he went through the part agreeably. Madame Vandenheuvel warbled through the Countess with grace and elegance, and Ohin was a most respect able Governor. The remaining characters were cre ditably given, and the revival gave unmixed grati fication. CONTENTS. Bolingbroke as a Statesman. lOn Printing; a" d Reprinting. Late Laurels. A Tale. Chap- , By F.

CARDINAL WISEMAN ON ART• At the recent distribution of prizes to the students of the School of Art, in connection with t he South Kensington Museum, Mr. Henry Cole presided. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the pro ceedings, His Eminence Cardinal WISEMAN delivered an address of some length, of which the following is a brief summary :—He considered it an honour to speak to them on the question of art. He would not deliver any formal lecture, and he would address them on the supposition, not that they followed art as a profession, but that they regarded it as an agreeable recreation. A few years ago a tendency had been manifested to the effect that the recreation for the working men should be found at mechanics' institutes in the study of science. But experience had shown that after men had worked eight or ten hours in heavy mechanical labour they could not be expected to sit down and study science. He did not for a moment desire to decry the study of science, but he believed he might se.y it was now considered that art was a better recreation for the working classes than science, and more adapted to their tastes. Art was sooth ing and encouraging, considered as a recreation. They all required recreation. A French philosopher had said that change of study was recreation to him, but that could be said only of a small number In post Bvo., Bs. 6d., TEWO MONTHS' RESIDENCE in . the CONFEDERATE STATES, including a VISIT to W ORLEANS under the Administration of General Butler.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since the beginning of the year 1880, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800; lor which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £18,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,' 00 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-can 'ages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of The generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, whi h can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

On Saturday afternoon the whole of 1,600 or 1,700 dogs entered for exhibition at the forthcom• ing International Dog Show (to be opened to-day) were received and placed in their allotted positions, in the Agricultural Hall, Islington ; and there can be no doubt that it is not only the most extensive, but at the same time the most extraordinary collec tion of the canine species ever known in this or any other country. The show is separated into two divisions, first-, " dogs used in field sports," to which the entire area of the basement is devoted; and to the second division, " dogs not used in field sports," to which the galleries are appropriated. The animals are placed upon platforms, in avenues extending the whole length of the building, without being sepa rated into compartments, and the boards are deeply covered with sawdust, which, at this period of the year, is held to be better than straw. By this means an uninterrupted view of the whole of the lower area is obtained from the western gallery. And when it is stated that the aggregate length of the platforms exceeds two miles and a half, some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the show. The harriers and beagles, &c., are placed in kennels surrounding the front of the orchestra, whilst in the centre of the principle avenue there is an enclosed kennel of large dimensions to be occu pied by the Duke of Beaufort's pack of hounds just arrived from France. Each of these kennels is surrounded by a light wire enclosure, in such a way as not to impede the sight of the public. With respect to the preliminary arrangements, consider abla difficulty in the outset was experienced in con sequence of a sudden break down in the health of a gentleman connected with the Birmingham show, whose assistance had been depended upon by the secretary, Mr. Sidney, but fortunately Mr. William Brailsford, head keeper to the Earl of Lichfield, kindly came to his aid in the emergency, and thus the difficulties referred to have been surmounted. The show is divided into 66 classes, 40 being de voted to the sporting and the remaining 26 to dogs not used in field sports, and the prizes will exceed £l,OOO in money. The sporting division consists of foxhounds, harriers, beagles, bloodhounds, otter hounds, deerhounds, foreign hounds, greyhounds, pointers (large and small size), setters, foreign pointers or setters, retrievers, spaniels, and Clamber spaniels. The second division comprises sheep dogs, mastiffs, Mount St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, bull dogs, bull-terriers, white smooth-haired terriers, black and tan terriers, Skye terriers, Dandy Din. monts, Italian greyhounds, King Charles spaniels, Blenheim spaniels, and English toy terriers. Be sides these there are classes for British and foreign lapdogs, monster dogs of any kind, for the smallest well-shaped and healthy dogs, and for other fancy breeds, poodles, pugs, Pomeranian, Dalmatian, Chinese, &c. First and foremost amongst the sporting dogs, which will be sure to attract the attention of the public, are the kennels containing the harriers, and in which his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is a competitor. The three couple exhibited by his Royal Highness are described, in sporting parlance, to be exceedingly " neat and clever" specimens; they are, however, somewhat thrown into the shade by an adjoining pen, which belong to Mr. Thomas Colly er, and which are of such a size that they may almost be taken for foxhounds. Earl Brownlow has also a kennel in this class, and there are some other very fine specimens of the breed. The deerhound classes are exceedingly fine, as well as numerous, but the pointers are stated by those who understand the matter to be the best show of that class of dogs ever exhibited. Lord Stamford has some extra ordinary specimens in both these classes. In the deerhound classes his lordship's dog Bran is a truly splendid animal, standing over 31 inches in height. Brenda, the mother of Bran, for which Lord Stam ford gave 150 guineas, is in the same class, as well as his lordship's celebrated deerhound bitch Ven geance, which has taken the first prize in her class on two previous occasions when she has been ex hibited ; in the pointer class his lordship exhibits his pointer Ben, aged three years and three months, the muscular development of which animal is ex traordinary. Whilst the bloodhounds are in full force and of exceeding beauty and extraordinary power of limb, there is not so great a show of grey hounds. There is, however, an excellent collection of retrievers, spaniels, and other sporting dogs. To the public generally who are not so much acquainted with the excellence and value of the animals in the sporting division, there can be no doubt that the upstairs or non-sporting department will afford the greatest amount of interest as well as amusement. Here will in all probability be found not only the largest but the smallest, as well as the shortest nosed dog in the world ; and to read on the tickets the fabulous amount of value which their owners attach to them, the visitors will be led to believe that some of the specimens are worth more than their weight in gold. In one in stance, a Skye terrier, revelling in the somewhat Irish name of Garry, No. 1,297, in Class 56, is ticketed up at the modest price of £1,500. There are no end of tickets assessing the value of the toy dogs at sums varying from £5O to £lOO and £500; but of course it is understood that these are prohi bitory prices, and that the owners do not wish to part with them ; bnt in other cases vary great value appears to be attached to the specimens. In this department there will be found serious dogs, comic dogs, pleasant dogs, and surly dogs ; dogs with long noses and dogs with short noses; dogs with long, others with short tails ; some without tails at all; and others of that peculiar class that it requires a great amount of perseverance to discover which is the head, or which is the tail of the animal. Some of the pet dogs are not only indulged with cushions of satin and velvet, but positively there are others which are encased in mahogany and glass houses, with perforated roofs, and who appear to be fully aware of their superior and aristocratic position. Colonel the Hon, Fulke Greville, of the Ist Life Guards, has two specimens of this description ; whilst Mrs. Delarue exhibits, it is believed, the two smallest black and tan terriers in the kingdom, either being able to occupy a pint pot for a dog house, with room to spare. There is an extraordl nary-looking King Charles spaniel, named Jumbo, the value of which the ow ner fi xes at £lOO. The Italian greyhound classes are exceedingly beautiful, and there is one little f e ll ow , answer i ng to the name of Silvey, for which 100 guineas is also demanded. The shows of mastiffs and watch-dogs are truly splendid ; but the most noble creature in the whole exhibition is a Pyrenean wolf-dog, exhibited by Mr. S. R. Block, of Barnet. That useful class of animals, the Scotch sheep dogs, or collies, es they are termed, ere very numerous, and are considered to be splendid specimens ; but although the Newfoundlands are strong in number, they do not appear to be either so fine or pure in breed as we have seen them.

An example of the saying of the French philosopher had been seen in the late Sir G. C. Lewis. That statesman, after having been for a lengthened period engaged in politics, could readily turn his mind to the study of astronomy and of an cient literature. But for recreation the great ma jority required a change of employment. The grandson of Sir Thomas More had told them that that great man had said—" Let virtue be your meat and play your sauce." They all knew the proverb that all work and no play made Jack a dull boy. The application of all this was patent to their minds. It was his desire to encourage them in the prosecution of art, but they would not be surprised if he said something which might seem to be dis couraging. He wished to guard them against the danger of imagining that because they had a cer tain amount of skill in art they were therefore to suppose they were possessed of genius, and under that influence to neglect their ordinary calling. No mistake could be greater than that. He would say that the skill which enabled young men to excel to a certain extent, and to elicit the admiration of those in their own circle, did not necessarily constitute genius. It might be compared to a meteor in the heavens, whereas genius was like ttie sun, which feared nothing and overcame every obs tacle. Ge nius required no ftE sist an ce. It gave to the p ossessor a calm confidence which did not cause him to look with contempt on the efforts of others, but enabled him to feel that ho had within him a spark of the heavenly light which not only illuminated his own mind, but disposed him to transmit that light to those around him. The Cardinal then went on to observe that genius, although placed in the most unfavourable circumstances, would be sure to ma nifest itself in some way or other. In support of the statement he adduced the names of men who had been eminent in painting, poetry, the knowledge of languages, mechanics, &e., an d among others those of Burns, Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, Tynner, the professor of geometry at Berlin, Elihu Burritt, and Cardinal Mezzofanti. He next proceeded to remark that the students in their ordinary calling would find that their know ledge of art would meet with commercial apprecia tion. He advised all the students to persevere, re iterating at the same time his argument that their genius would, if they possessed it, find an oppor tunity for making itself known. He closed his ad dress, which was listened to with marked attention throughout, and frequently applauded, by warning the students never to apply their pencils to the pro duction of vicious works, but to remember that in all they did their duty was to promote the well being of mankind and the glory of God.

We are glad to quote from our elegant contem porary The Queen of Saturday, the following ear nest protest against the unseemly Full Dress (in reality nearly No Dress At All) now coming into fashion with some ladies, even at the Royal Draw- in g -rooms : " The great opportunity for studying the fashions, was on the last Drawingroom, when an examina tion of any one of the long lines of carriages which converged from every point of the compass upon St. James's Palace, could not fail to leave behind it some curiaus matter for reflection as to the progress which we are making towards the worst extrava gaucies in dress of which M. Eugene Pelletan and other French moralists have been complaining. From Hyde-park-corner to St. James's, and from Regent's-park to the same point, along the most public thoroughfares in the metropolis, were lines of carriages which, in the broad light of day, exhi bited indecencies which have hitherto been reserved for secret places and the obscurity of night. A gal- lery two miles long filled with the most degage's sped mens of Frost, Etty, and Titian could scarcely have so astonished the modest eye as did this(in every way) moving exhibition. One young gentleman, of unble mished morals and exemplary modesty, has declared tons that, seeing in a carriage --a eoroneted one too—a young person who appeared to have nothing on her but a diamond necklace, he was obliged to take to his heels and fly. Another young lady was so pro noncee in her costume that the not unnatural atten tions of the orowd compelled her to renounce her intention of attending the Drawing-room, and to return home again. An ingenious observer has stated to us that a side view o f man y of the carriages irresistibly suggested the notion that some of their occupants had entirely disrobed, and had thrown their discarded garments upon the opposite seats ; for on one side might be seen the upper portion of Eve au naturel, and on the other vast heaps and swelling billows of her garments. All this may be food for amusement viewed from one aspect, but from another point of view it affords, to our thinking, matter for sadness. Ever prone to imitate the worst extravagancies of those volatile neighbours whom we effect to despise, it would seem as if the long sleep to which Fashion has been condemned by the period of royal mourning, is to be followed by a realisation of the worst and most hideous dreams which have visited her during her slumbers. This is serious to the highest degree, for we cannot afford to lose that most precious of all o ur national possessions — the innate virtue of our women. Wealth is a good gift, fine dress is good to look at , and beauty is charming ; but if these be unaccom panied by modesty, they are like those f to look at, of the Eaat which were outside lovely to led but inside were filled with rottenness and ashes. fruits dniutQoues.—forMaafdmeeawniCgahrtvsaplrheov,iwouhsotohatshebecelonsirneg sotfoLtrheYe theatre for the summer, was welcomed by a crowded audience "Faust," audienceinher which brilliant sangandacted o leof Margaret in G with all her customary power and pathos. M. Marini was the Faust, and we trust is to be a per manent addition to the company. He has improved since he last sung in Paris, and will be a decided acquisition to the theatre. The opera, which seems everywhere increasing in public favour, went off capitally ; the orchestra, chorusses, and other acces sories were so perfect as to call down repeated testi monies of satisfaction. FRANCAIS.—One of the best plays of Casimir Delavigne, "Louis X 1.," has been revived here this week, and acted in a manner to assure its complete success. The cast was entirely new, and the tragedy went off with all the freshness and spirit of a first representation. The role of the wily monarch was considered, and justly, the finest part of M. Ligier, who certainly displayed in it an originality and power of identifying himself with a histotic portrait so essentially different physically from his own, as to raise him very considerably in professional repu tation. Louis XI. was, in fact, his best part, and his excellence in it rendered the task of his successor one of considerable difficulty. It is now assigned to M. Geffroy, whose acting from the very opening of the piece left no doubt whatever that the character had found a studious and most efficient representa tive. It would be difficult —impossible in the pre sent condition of the stage, to find an actor more perfectly imbued with the spirit of the part than M. Geffroy. The cold hypocrisy, cunning, coward ice, and superstition of the character were visible in every look and gesture ; and, in a word, his performance was a triumph. He was admirably supported by Regnier, as Coitier, a worthy confi dant and servitor, in every respect befitting such a master. Delaunay made a gallant Nemours, and Mabout ,gave becoming dignity to Francois de Paula.' Miles. Royer and Favart left nothing to be desired in the little parts of Marie and the Dauphin, and on the whole the performance was worthy the Theatre Francais. The applause was frequent during the entire performance, and this revival is almost certain to become one of the choice dramatic attractions of Paris during the summer. PALAIS ROYAL.—A pleasant little farce, entitled " L'Oiseau fait son Nid,'' of which Berthelier is the life and soul, has been very well received here. The bird is the comedian in question, and he desires to make his nest, i.e., settle for lite, by taking unto himself a wife. After sundry plans and disappoint ments, which form the material of the piece, he succeeds at last ; and this little affair, written by MM. Clairville and Thiboust, was declared a success. DEJAZET.—At this little theatre, where " Les Pantins Eternals," already described as successful, continues to- be nightly performed, a pleasantry of the smallest dimensions, entitled " Qui a mange la Bouillabaisse !" has been well received. Bouillabaisse, as most readers know, is a certain soup, for which our Paris restaurants are, or were, famous, and on which some very distin guished modern English litterateurs have written excellent lines. The subject of the present piece is simply a scene at a breakfast, in which this soup makes one of the plats, and gives rise to a series of mistakes and jealousies, which creates hearty laugh. Brief and well acted, the curtain fell amid general marks of satisfaction. Mine. Ristori is, we learn, about to visit London, where she is to perform at her Majesty's Theatre, with an Italian dramatic company, in the course of the ensuing month. It is stated that the eminent tragedian has accepted an engagement at New York on fabulously high terms. The well-known theatre of Les Bouffes Parisiens is now in course of demolition with a view to its enlargement, which is to be effected by the Ist October next, and it is promised to be turned out one of the most elegant little theatres on the Con- tinent. The only important engagements yet announced for the Theatre Italien next season are those of Mme. Lagrange, as prima donna assoluto, and Mme. Lablache (Demerit) mezzo-soprano. We learn that a theatrical speculator of Paris has left for London expressly to engage the celebrated Ghost which has been lately making such a noise there—in other words, to effect an arrangement with the inventor of the optical machinery by which the illusion is produced, in order to exhibit it in Paris. FATAL WRECK of the SHIP MOORES FOOT. —THIRTY-ONE LIVES LOST. The ship Mooresfoot, 1,051 tons register, belong ing to the port of London, has been totally lost off the Mauritius while on her homeward voyage from Calcutta, and we regret to add that out of her crew, consisting of forty-two men and officers, and four passengers, only fifteen persons were saved. From the evidence taken before a court of inquiry it appeared the Mooresfoot, under the command of Captain E. Coulthurst, arrived off Port Louis on the Ist February, and anchored at about five o'clock in the evening. They had previously had fine weather, and not the least apprehension was enter tained by her unfortunate captain and officers of bad weather approaching, although ashore it was pretty generally believed that a storm was pend ing, and it was evident to all who saw the ship at anchor that unless she immediately put to sea again something serious would happen to her. A tremendous surf was already running on the reefs at the entrance to the port and all along the western coast of the island. The signal warning was made from Fort George for the " ship to go to sea," and a gun was also fired in the hopes of attract ing the captain's attention, but to no purpose, and it was not till midnight, when the ship began to drive, the captain became cognisant of his perilous situation. The pilot boat had made several attempts to get out of the harbour to her, b'it the heavy rollers rendered it utterly impossible. About the time mentioned the captain attempted to get to sea by slipping his anchors. It was too late, ho o ver, and the ill-fated Mooresfoot, abou and o'clock in the morning, drove on to the reef,broke up so less rapidly almoste re entirelywi n , i b n e e ifuedda destroyed t u t; cr l surf Captain ; t t a h t c b r t y oy.u. . d iot a hn y .eu l oftdhh:esae.snrwhder help ' e wt c 15 17 8 e chief ship and and sec o c n a d r g nrs,uerriesdb lavtgLiinoyt o Qcol g inie r en o : 7 esn . cem T e h n e t They now began on Friday, says the Law [What continu e t t h h e o t Bench— now. num , 57 in the Common Bench—and 51 in the Exchequer.

There was great sympathy slauestsaainded, betroeawvehmicehnt is he at a t n ri d . buted the resignatio n of the latter. As the colonel's his father showns o recently t success ie now certain, it is hoped he will realise the expectations held out of him, and be a zealous friend of the people of Ross. " Mr. M'Kenna, of the National Bank, has not yet made his appearance, and it is now thought that he will not do so; but the colonel's friends think he ought to have more pluck' than to leave them with only one powerful opponent, in the person of the celebrated Mr. Rea, of Belfast, to whom some of the ' wags' of the town immediately sent a telegram, inviting him to represent the borough. Much as some dislike a contest, there are not a few who would rejoice to see M•Kenna' and Rae' pitted against each other. There was a report yesterday that M'Kenna was only paving the way for some other Whig, a very influential supporter of the Government, who, from his position, would be able to serve the interests of the town very much." THE NEW ROSS MURDER. WEXFORD, Friday.—The coroner's inquest on the body of the deceased, whose name is Michael Fitz henry (Fitzharris is the name of the man who pre ceded him as teacher of the National School), was commenced on Monday, and lasted over Tuesday and Wednesday. The wife of the deceased was examined, and stated the particulars of the differ ence that had arisen between her late husband and Joe Kelly, the prisoner. Kelly wanted deceased to advance sufficient money to take Kelly's father to America, instead of continuing to support him in the farm, which had been sold to Fitzhenry —the latter arrangement having been the one origi nally agreed on. From the evidence of other wit nesses it would appear that Kelly, his wife, and the deceased had left Rosa in company, on the night of the murder. The prisoner's wife did not go all the way with them, but remained at a house on the road. Kelly and the deceased proceeded together. The watch of the deceased has been found in the garden attached to prisoner's house, and a bar of iron, with which it is presumed the deed was committed, has also been found near the place. This bar, which was stained with blood, has been identified by an ironmonger as having been purchased by the prisoner on the Saturday. At the conclusion of the inquiry, the jury returned a ver dict of " Wilful murder" against Kelly, and he was accordingly committed for trial at the ensuing assizes. He was brought from Ross to Wexford on Thursday by the police, and lodged in the county gaol here. It is stated that his conduct on the jou7ney was.characterised by most unseemly mirth and levity. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. LOUTH.—The weather for the last few days has been characterised by a piercingly cold easterly wind, unlike anything ever experienced in the month of May for a quarter of a century, On examining fields of early planted potatoes it has been discovered that the leaves have, in a great many instances, become discoloured, a circumstance which has created some little alarm. However, experienced agriculturists assert that the discolouration results from the biting winds, and they do not, for so far, apprehend that any serious injury will occur to the Stems. ROSCOMMON.—Nothing could exceed the luau , riant aspect of the crops generally through this county up to a week since. The oldest agriculturists state that they never witnessed greater promise in every class of crop, but during the last week a very great change has taken place in the state of the weather. Cold, north-easterly winds by day, suc ceeded by frost at night, have produced a very marked alteration, not only in the turnips and other equally tender crops, but in grass lands, which is beginning to be seriously felt. TIPPERARY. —Daring the last three or four days the weather has been severe and inclement for this period of the year. A biting hard wind prevailed from the north-east, at times accompanied by showers of cold rain. In fact, were it not for the teeming verdure which in every direction meets the eye, one would be inclined to think that our chronolists had been mistaken in their calculations, and that we were now in the Ides of March instead of advancing towards the close of the month 9f May. Still the country looks most cheering. The crops are everywhere strong and vigorous, and, under the Divine blessing, afford promise of a rich harvest.— Nenagh Guardian. KERRY. —The weather still continues most favourable for the growing crops of ad kinds. The prospects of the ensuing harvest are most encourag ing.

When free from actual pain he was comparatively cheerful, but never wavered in his belief that his time was nearly come. On the 23d and 24th he suffered much.

The annual race for prizes presented to the rowing world in general, by Mr. Belfour, the vice president of the London Rowing Club, came off on Saturday, and tee heats, all contested from Putney to H a mmersmith, hr came off as under : First Heat. Messrs. Custance and Hale, London R. C.. Messrs. Smith and Wondrow, North London R. C ...... 0 The last named pair started from the best station at a rat tling pace, and were soon well clear of their opponents, who rendered the gap greater by fouling a barge. At the end of 400 yards the North London pair led by two lengths ; but Custance and Hale rapidly closed up the gap, and, catching them at the Point, won a good race by two lengths. Second Heat. Messrs. Bryant and Tyler, West London R.O .. I Messrs. Pitt and Judson, West London R.C.. 0 The winners came away from the first, and won easily. Final Heat._ Messrs. Custance and Hale, Landon R.C.:. 1 Messrs. Bryant and Tyler , West London R.O The last named pair got a little the best of the lead, but the others closed up directly, and a most spirited and ex citing race followed for nearly a mile. In the course of this there was never more than a few feet between the boats, and at one time they were rowing strictly level for a couple of minutes. At length, however, the London pair got away, and gained one of the hardest victories ever earned by two lengths. CLUB EIGHT OARED RACE. An eight-oared race among sixteen members of the club, mostly juniors, came off between the second and final heat of the above, from Putney to Chiswick. It was a very scrambling affair and was ultimately won easily by Messrs. A. 0. Davis, E. A. De Paiva, G. H. Barclay, G. Hewitt, K. Digby, J. Rickaby, W. H. Lowe, C. Schlotel (stroke), A. H.

He said the question was now before the Board of Works, and there were so many per sons in the country inter es t e d t h at i t had become a national question. He moved. "That a committee of delegates be appointed to meet the delegates from other vestries and district bounds to consider the best steps to be taken to secure the economic and profitable utilisation of the metropolitan sewage, and that such delegates shall place ' themselves in communication with the corporation of Lon don and the corporations of the other principal cities and towns in England, with the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Government on the subject." He thought it was no use for any one vestry to take this subject up by itself ; but it should be taken up by vestries generally, in order to in. crease their influence for carrying out so desirable an ob ject, and likewise to bear a portion of the expenses.-- Mr. Mr. George Taylor seconded the 'notion, and so d vitg % was in a position to state from tsperiden.n If the me was the most fertilising manure they coul .t would 'il andt of that at the least t e r r o e p a o s l e i t a t n he seN r V a a t g e e s. wol l between £1,000,000 and-1;5,000,10.0,f°, of the ratepayers.
