It displays much ability, and con tains some clever delineations of character."—Star. The opening scene of the Impeachment trial, March 13, 1868, has now been more fully painted. The correspondent of the Philadelphia inquirer has devoted a page to the presence of the ladies. "As a general statement, it may be sai I that the wife of almost every Congressman who is either tran siently or permanently in Washington, came to day to the trial. Several ladies of the President's household were present, and the mother of Speaker Colfax, Mrs. Matthews, was in a prominent seat. Mrs. Ben Butler had a good place, and also Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, wearing a fawn-coloured silk, dark velvet basque and bonnet, with etruscan ear drops and bugles of frosted gold, who sat beside her sister, Miss Nettie Chase, a stouter young lady. Mrs. Sprague has the look of a French lady, being slight and dashing ; her sister has a staider look, like a Holland maiden. Mrs. Ben Wade wore a black cloth sacque, two short side locks of brown hair, and a brown rose in her braid. She was pro vided with a corner place immediately opposite her husband, and next to the diplomats. Vinnie Ream, the little sculptress, wore a wave of flat ring lets down her back, reaching below her waist. She is a dark-eyed, nervous, spirituelle little girl, and had admirers in numbers buzzing around her, of course. The ladies of the household of Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, attracted attention ; one of them, a stout English girl, with fine shoulders and colour, and the step of the winner of the Derby, the other smaller, with the motion and figure of a gazelle. Mrs. George Vickers, wife of the new Maryland Senator, had a good seat." But the correspondent, although like a true American gives to women the most conspicuous place, does not confine his atten tion, as Mrs. Stanton declares a third of the re presentatives do, to the ladies gallery, as the follow ing extract shows :—" Two seats of the diplomatic gallery were filled with Englishmen in mutton-chop whiskers, glasses screwed into their eyes, and a pro digious quantity of jewelery." It does Englishmen good to hear how others describe them, with their mutton-chop whiskers and mass of jewelery ! Most Englishmen would warmly repudiate the jewelery charge, unconscious that they had slung their watch to their button-hole with a gold chain of dimensions sufficient to anchor a yacht, and a ring on the little finger large enough to engrave the seal of a Mandarin. A Yankee with a handsome diamonl pin stuck in his shirt front would be ac cused by the unconscious Englishman of being loud in jewelery. But to return to our subject. " Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, is a fine-looking gentleman, not unlike Mr. Stanbery, late At torney-General. The Greek Minister, Mr. Ron gabe, a small, grey haired, pleasant man, had a seat near the dark, olive-faced Spanish Minister, who sat near the old Washington resident and father of all the legations, Baron Gerolt. Judge Thomas Nel son, of Tennessee, an old friend of the President, and now one of his counsel, is a farmer-looking, grey-haired man, with a beardless faces ; his ears are standing out sharply, a good deal of height and breadth of rock-like and dented forehead over his very quietly relentless grey eyes. Benjamin R. Curtis is a thick-set man, neatly, even 2tifly, dressed in black, and sits with his hands crossed at his waist. Stanbery is a tall, straight, slim man, with grey side whiskers, a high, square head, of the sort called ' long,' and a nervous, earnest manner of speech. He got mad at the beginning of the trial when Judge Bingham brought him to a stand on the Senate rules. The professional statement of Mr. Johnson's counsel, as read by Mr. Stanbery, con tained in the earliest lines the words, at which we have arrived to,' whereupon somebody cried, That sounds like the President's own composition.' The voice of Mr. Stanbery was clear, musical, and con versational. He stood with his right hand behind his back, and glasses on his nose. He behaved very well until Biugbatn brought him to his feet, when he showed decidedly that he had lost his temper. Thaddeus Stevens, among the impeachers, came in by a rear door, after the rest of the committee had entered. A member of the President's household, who had a seat in the gallery, exclaimed aloud here, He wants to attract attention.' Fhe old man leaned on his heavy cane; and, taking his chair, extended his long hand and gave a silent order. Everybody looked at him. The battle opened warmly, with Stanbery leaping up and speaking nervously, crisply, with his hands stretched out. He demanded if himself and his learned brothers were to be trapped in a net ? It was very certain indeed that the President's counsel had paid little atten tion to the Senate rules for the guidance of the trial. They had all reached out instinctively for the printed copies thereof, and conferred to gether in a few syllables before Stanbery arose." Stanbery surprised all hearers by his bitterness ; Butler was bitter as a matter of course, and Bing ham was earnest and calm. Adjutant-General Thomas has been cross-examined by the Impeach ment Committee relative to a conversation said to have occurred at a reception at the White house on the 16th March. General Butler bullied this wit ness for two hours, yet all he extracted was, that an old acquaintance from Newcastle, Delaware, spoke about the present political troubles, and advised him to " stand firm." Thomas replied, "Am I not standing firm ?" " Yes," said the old acquaintance, "but you must kick that fellow Stanton out ;" to which the Adjutant-General answered, " We will do that." He also informed the old acquaintance that he recognized Mr. Stanton only as a private citizen, and would obey no orders emanating from him, he (Thomas) being the Secretary of War. The Adjutant-General repeated this to the commit tee, distinctly stating that he would obey no orders from Stanton. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. On the 16th March Mr. Butler managed to get the rules of the House suspended to bring in his motion that during the Impeachment it shall be in order any day to move a suspension of the rules on motion connected with or growing out of the question. The motion was adopted, with the exception of the morning hour of Monday. With a view further to facilitate the progress of the Im peachment trial, a Bill has passed the House which provides that the senior associate Judge of the Supreme Court shall, in case of any inability of the Chief Justice, be eligible to perform his duties. A telegraphic despatch from Cincinnat to the New York papers, dated March 18, says:—" The steamer Magnolia, of the Cincinnati and Maysville regular packets, which left here at noon to-day with cabin passengers and a large amount of freight, exploded her boiler 12 miles above this city, at half-past ono this afternoon. The greater portion of the cabin was carried away, and the boat afterwards took fire. About 40 persons were killed, several of them being burnt to death. Tho Magnolia had 120 passengers and 40 members of the crew. Fifty-seven are known to have been saved. Tha boat took fire im mediately after the boilers exploded, and . after the remaining upper works were destroyed some powder in the magazine exploded, destroying all but the hull, which sank. Many of the passengers jumped overboard, and were drowned, and others were burnt, among them the captain. The boat was valued at $30,000, on which there was $20,000 insurance.

Dr. Wilberforce in, that paper ably defends the position he has taken up with regard to the religious education of the young, viz., that the teaching at present given in our Sunday Schools is irksome, and therefore to some extent repulsive, while it ghould be pleasant, and consequently winning. Sunday Schools, he declares, in commencing, are in a state of crisis. Men are beginning to lose the implicit confidence they have hitherto pl:tced in this important part of our religious system. The question, therefore, is, how to restore the schools to a proper state of efficiency, and make them useful by teaching the young to love religion and religious services. There has, his lordship points out, been a stay in the increase, if not an actual falling off, of the number of Sunday scholars. The educational census of 1851 gave a return of ?,407,642 Sunday scholars. Notwithstanding the vast increase of the population shewn by the census of 1861 (an increase of more than two millions), the number of scholars only shelved an advance of 3,900. Further, while the Church of England is teaching a proportion of 7(P2 per cent. of week-day scholars, only 45'S—less than ludf—of the Sunday scholars attend the schools of the Establishment. All other denominations get a larger proportion of Sunday than day scholaro. This leads the right rev. writer to the conclusion that as day scholars increase there is a tendency to diminish the number of Sunday scholars. The better children are being gradually eliminated, and the schools are now thronged with a lower class than heretofore. How, then, shall we make our schools more attractive to the young ? First, answers his lordship, by banishing from them anything like the character of work. Let work alone for the day school. Make the Sunday class partake of the nature of rest and refresment. Banish from it as much as possible all trace of the day school. Such, for instance, as providing a table around which the Selialara:might sit, would be beneficial. Let the teacher be bright, - playful, and sympathising. MS object should be to form in his pupils the basis of a religious character. With regard to the very young, they should be dealt with most gently. They are naturally prone to be restless ;do not rebuke them for it. So arrange that they may obtain continual change of posture. Children's hymns, sung to children's tunes, easy Bible stories, simple Bible prints, are the means of employing profitably the time. If there is a garden near, they might be taken into it and interested with lessons from the lily of the valley and the flower of the field. More difficult is the problem, How shall the elder, or semi-adult scholars, be dealt with ? One of the most important items is that they should be completely separated from the school itself. Let there be nothing of what may be termed ".Sunday slavery" in the senior class. The young men have arrived at a time of life of all others the most impor tant. They should be carefully dealt with. Such matters, so often overlooked, as the Sunday afternoon " walk out" should be studied. Young men and young women will " keep company." No time is better fora stroll than the Sunday afternoon. If the class is fixed to interfere with this, the twilight is chosen, a time the most objectionable. The best time for the class, perhaps, is, for the males just before the evening, and for the females just before the afternoon service. Teachers should be more carefully trained, and more carefully selected. Scholars would then easily be found. The Sunday School is par excellence the place where the employer may show that he cares for the working man. With attention to the matters here mentioned, Dr. Wilberforce thinks our schools might regain the position they are fast losing. The Irish towns which have determined to for ward expressions of welcome to the Prince and Princess of Wales on their landing are—Dublin, Carlow, Belfast, Newry, Wicklow, Coleraine, Kinsale, Bandon, Clones, Ballymena, Kingstown, Wexford, Waterford, Mullingar, Naas, Athy, and Newtownlimivady. Most of the addresses presented will refer to the hope dat there may soon be a " royal residence established in Ireland." The following officers have been selected to command divisions at the forthcoming Volunteer Re view:—Major-General Sir Alfred Horsford, K.C.8., Majors General H. Benny, and Major-General G. I. Carey, C.B. Several other staff and regimental officers are being selected to act as assistant adjutant-generals, assistant quartermaster-generals, brigade majors, and aides-decamp. MAJORLTY OF TILE EARL OF ELLESMERE.-TllO Earl of Ellesmere attained his majority on Sunday. His lordship is at in esent on a tour in the East, and no festivi- ties will take place until his return. In honour of the event, however, the men and boys employed on the estate, to the number of about 5,000, received during last week a gratuity equal to a day's wages. Emma Davy, aged 15, a spinner at the Atlas Mills, Longside -lane, Bradford, with her sister and some othergirls, lately got into the hoist, to ascend to the third storey of the mill. Arrived there, the hoist was stopped, the other girls stepped out, and the deceased was following, when the hoist began to descend. She was caught between the stone steps and the framework of the hoist, and crushed about the chest. Immediately on being taken home she expired. The girls were using the hoist contrary to express orders, and to save themselves the trouble of ascending the staircase, the proper road for them to take in order to reach their work. IRISH CHURCH DEBATE.—Mr. Thomas Hughes M.P., has presided at a lecture in Surrey Chapel by the Rev. Newman Hall. The building was crowded by work ing men, who listened with great attention to a summary of the late debate. The lecturer said that, as a Protestant, he repudiated the injustice done in the name of Protes tantism to the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Because he hoped to see Scriptural Christianity triumph, he desired ;hat such an obstacle to the reception of the truth might be removed. Mr. Hughes expressed his pleasure at wit iessing the intelligent and fixed attention of the audience, us hope that speedily the Irish Church might cease to be ast 'lished, and that the English Church might be more comprehensive, so as to allow the clergy of other commu nions to take part occasionally hiller services. COURAGEOUS RESCUE.—The children of the Rev. T. E. Buckworth, of Ivybridge, met with a serious ac cident whilst walking by the banks of the Erne, above the viaduct, on Friday afternoon. Two of the children, girls, aged fourteen and eight years, remained a short distance behind, and the youngest, in stepping from one rock to another to reach a flower, slipped and fell into a deep pool. Her sister immediately jumped in to her rescue, and pushed her on to a rock, where she gained her footing, but in doing so the latter was herself carried under water out of her depth. She came to the surface twice, when her screams were heard by the governess, a young lady of 21 years, who immediately ran to the spot, saw her again sink, and jumping in head foremost, caught hold of her, and succeeded in holding her head above water for fifteen minutes, while the elder sister ran for assistance. Both were in the water for a quarter of an hour before assistance arrived, and they were safely drawn to land. — Western Morning News. 49 A BRAVE YOUNG LADY.—For some time past the gentlemen residing in one of the districts near Liver pool have had their premises frequently visited by thieves, whose sole object seems to have been to steal the fowls which the gentlemen keep. Between nine and ten o'clock, a night or two ago, the niece of a Mr. Eastwood was in her uncle's house alone, the servant having left on some errand. She was startled by hearing the cackling of fowls in the hen-pen in the garden, and on looking through the window saw two men in thr " run," which is enclosed by wirework. There were two pistols on the chimney-piece, one of which was loaded with small shot, and was already capped. The loaded one she took down, and, armed with this formidable weapon, went into the garden to attack the two thieves. They were both in the " run," and one of them had a duck under each arm. She immediately placed the barrel of the pistol through the wirework, aimed at the lower part of the man's body, and discharged the weapon. The man uttered a cry of pain, dropped the birds, and, with the assistance of his com panion, climed over the garden wall into a field, and escaped. been held SUFFRAG E.—A public meeting has ne gre fulfillinge h ol d er s, the conditions of prope rt y or occupation required of men. held in Stamford-street Chapel , Stamford -street, Black friars, in furtherance of the movement for fconferring the o o l f d efranchisea ratepayers, e a r ll ! f e o m r a w l e h s b a e househ, Professor Fawcett, M.P., occupied the chair, and there also present James Hey - The werewo o d opened :l. l 3.1: t i 1: the Conway,gcl ls t a ; oPt l .l >y e, 'Tr contrasting the condition of women in the various civilised coun tries of the earth. He combated the argument that women were intellectually inferior to men, and contended that, with equal advantages, they had generally proved themselves on an equality with men. He entirely con curred in the object of the meeting. Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., spoke at some length respecting the present state of the laws affecting married women and the rights of property, which, he contended, were in a most unfair and unsatisfactory state. He thought there was no likeli hood of the law in this respect being improved until women had a direct influence in the representation.

Mr. George Wood, of theatrical fame, has taken a ten years' lease of the property known as Banvard's Museum, commencing on May 1. The theatre will be reconstructed in every respect. Nothing will remain unchanged save the location. Samuel Colville is associated with Mr. Wood in the enterprise, and sails immediately to Europe in quest of novelties and attractions. Mr. Wood has enterprise, experience, and wealth, and we trust that he will find his most sanguine expectations realized.

A BAD FALL.—Madame Carlotta de Berg fell from her horse on Tuesday evening, while performing one of her daring acts of equitation, and broke her right arm in two places. She was immediately removed to her residence on Third Avenue, where it was ascertained that her in. uries, though serious, were not dangerous. Under Court News, &c., the Home thesew ea geographically muddles itself : "A hs thus head of f "Foreign Gossip, ,, London saving bank established by negroes, collapsed because the depositces withdrew all the funds to attend a circus." Of course the London referred to must be on this side of the water. Mrs. Laura Leclair Phillips, of Boston, has lately writ ten an Irish comedy, which she calls " Kissing the Blar ney Stone." If Mrs. Barney Williams or Mrs. Billy Flo rence will play the " Blarney Stone," we should have no objections to "Kissing the Blarney Stone." The word " flirt" is a corruption of " maffeurette " (my little flower), a term much in use among the gay gallants of the Court of Louis the Fourteenth.

The last share number issued to Lady-day, 1868, was Nu. '29,142. The estates allotted since the last report were:— Finchley Estate, Middlesex, 2d poi tion.....March 26, 1868. Ipswich Estate, Suffolk (East), 2d portion ditto. Sandown Estate, Isle of Wight, 2d portion ditto. As might have been expected from a popular locality in North London like Finchley, the sales of the land on the society's estate have been large, and the few remaining plots on this eligible building property are not likely to re main long on hand, especially as the new station on the Edg ware, Highgate, and London Rail way at Finchley is now open. Of the future of Sandown little doubt can be entertained. This rising watering-place, since the opening of the rail way from Hyde to Ventnor, with a station at Sandown, is making considerable progress. The visitors to Ryde are attracted to Sandown with its long beach of sand (which for bathing has no equal in the island), the railway from Ryde being within a quarter of au hour of the estate. Sandown will soon be connected with Newport, as a bill for the Isle of Wight Central Railway is now before Parlia ment, with every prospect of the project being carried through. The Ipswich estate, from its proximity to the Stoke station, is essentially building land, and as the prices of the plots are adapted to meet the de mand for either largo or small houses to suit all classes of the community, there are grounds to anticipate that the building which has already commenced at each extremity Of the estate will in due course be extended. The next allotment of land will bo on Wednesday, the 29th of April, on which day the sale will be commenced of the first por tion of the Clapham Junction Estate, well known as Bolingbroke Park, with fine frontages to Battersea Rise and Wandsworth Common. The proximity of this pro perty to two stations, and the increasing demand tor house property in tho southern district of the metropolis, justify the anticipations of the committee that the Clap ham Junction Estate will prove one of the most valuable building properties hitherto acquired for the society. Three new purchases of estates have been recently made the first at Northampton ; the second at Holloway (York-road, Ken tish-town); and the third at Red Hill, Surrey (the Water slade Estate). So soon as the legal formalities have been completed, these three valuable properties will be allotted. The various contracts for the works on the Putney Estate, No. 5 (close to the Cedars), on the East London Estate, Forest Gate, Nos. 1 and 2, and Sandown Estate, No. 2, are in progress. The roads on the Finchley Estate No. '2 will be forthwith commenced, and the advertisements fur the tenders to complete the roads cn the fourth portion of the Round Hill Estate, Brighton, and for the first portion of the Clapham Junction Estate will soon be issued. The indications of active building operations this spring on the various estates (in 27 counties) are very satisfactory. At the annual meeting last December the members present unanimously passed a resolution fully " approving of the formation of a Land Company, Limited, to co-operate with the Conservative Land Society, thereby inaugurating a new system of combined action, whereby the operations in land may be considerably extended, and thus prove mutu ally beneficial." The executive committee therefore issued a circular to the shareholders, accompanied with the pro posed prospectus to be issued by the directors of the United Land Company (Limited), enclosing forms of application for shares, thereby carrying out the pledge that the members of the society should in the first instance bo offered the shares of the new company. It is with much satisfaction that the executive committee are enabled to announce that the responses to their circular have been quite satisfactory, and the applications for shares in the United Land Company (Limited) up to the present period have been so numerous as to justify the first directors thereof in signing the memorandum, and register the same together with the articles of association framed under the advice of counsel. The United Land Company (Limited) is now incorporated under the Com panies Act of 1862 and 1867, and to co-operate with the Conservative Land Society, enrolled under 6 and 7 Will. IV. cap. 32, as the Conservative Benefit Building Society. The executive committee congratulate the shareholders of the Conservative Land Society on the prospects and position of the new undertaking, as an adjunct to the parent insti tution. The action and working of society and company on thoroughly sound commercial principles, combined with economical and energetic management, will, there is every reason to anticipate, open a new field for safe and legitimate investment. The executive committee, in con clusion, beg to remind the shareholders that it is entirely at their option to take shares in the United Land Com pany (Limited); they may be investors in both society and company if they think fit, and in both cases the liability is limited to the amount of the shares taken. The meeting was proceeding when we went to press. CORA PEARL AND THE FAN-FURNISHER TO THE OPERA. —The Civil Tribunal has just had to decide a disputed bill between " Mdlle." Cora, Pearl (a dense-monde cele brity) and a tradesman named Denugent, who styles himself fan-furnisher to the Opera. The latter had sup plied, among other things, one to be used at the races, made of white silk, with an equestrian portrait of the lady on one side, and on the other these lines of Alfred de Musset "—Et la riche Angleterre, Plus d'une fois dans l'eau jettera son filet Avant d'y retrouver une perle aussi there." The bill subsequently sent in was as follows : Sept. 2, 1867. A miniature for a cigar caso „ 4, „ A racing fan soof. „ 4, „ Photographic portrait for the same loof. „ 19, „ Repair of a parasol 2Ol. „ 22, „ Seven small miniatures for a bracelet 1000 f. 2020 f. "Mdlle." Cora Pearl immediately wrote to protest against the above charges; she had only paid 250 f. for a similar miniature before, and would not give more than 300 f. for the present one ; the charge for the fan was ex orbitant, and must bo reduced by 100 f. ; and, as for seven small heads, she had never ordered them, but had merely asked the price, and consequently would not take them. These latter, as well as the likeness for the cigar case, had bean executed for Mine. Denugent, and represented " Mdlle." Cora, the Empress Josephine, Queen Hortense, Mine. Recamier, Mine. Tallien, Mdllo. Georges, and Diana do Poitiers. M. Denugent appeared to accept those condi tions, and on the 19th October sent in a fresh bill amount ing to 820 f. only, and even received 200 f. on account. He, however, subsequently renewed his pretension to compel her to take the seven heads, and on her again refusing, brought the present action. The court, however, only admitted his claim for the balance of 620 f., which the defendant was ordered to pay with interest and costs. A MusicAL NOTE.—We are glad to observe that certain distinguished personages are, like the rest of the British nation, being educated to appreciate good music. The Orchestra states that on the occasion of a recant banquet the Duke of Sutherland engaged the singers at " Evans's " to give a selection of glees, &c. This is a decided im provement on the style of musical entertainment his grace has been giving lately—a decided improvement, if not an add- l ituce.—Fun. LADVERTISEMENT.]-11oliocmy's Pills.—Dyspepsia., In digestion, Flatulency, heartburn, Biliousness, Nausea, Want of Appetite.—French philosophers trace the moral feelings of the mind to the state of thm stomach, and there is much wisdom in the speculation. The stomach to the human body is more than the kitchen to the domestic estab lishment ; be it ever so slightly disordered the whole in ternal economy is deranged. The young may smile at the simile, and disbelieve the tremendous sat:Hike indigestion exacts from its victims. The day will come when they will lament over their dyspepsia as thousands stronger than themselves have done, when it will be for their com fort and happiness if they will remember these prophetic words, and hold in readiness Holloway's pills, a certain safeguard.
