VOIGTL A..TIIDER'S Notwithstanding all the un-English proceedings GLASSES are now to be had at very reduced , ?ricks-s. CALLAGHAN, 23A, New Bond-stree that have been taken before two " different judicial Corner of Conduit-street, W. men have refused to entertain the charges brought against him, and have thus declared them to be unfounded. Now that a competent judicial tri bunal has pronounced its verdict, Mr. EYRE has thought fit to lay these statements before the public, and certainly he is perfectly justified in doing so. These extracts show the difficulties with which Mr. EYRE had to grapple in the months of October and November, 1865. The Commissioners declare that in the great majority of cases the evi dence before the court-martial was unobjectionable in character, and quite sufficient to justfy the find ing of the Court; and they also state that the Coun cil had good reason for the advice they gave to pro claim martial law, and the Governor "well justified in acting upon that advice." Not a few of the negroes contemplated the attainment of their ends by the death or expulsion of the white inhabitants of the island, and though the original design for the overthrow of the constituted authority was confined to the parish of St.Thomas-in-the-East, yet the dis order spread with great rapidity over a large tract of land ; and, they also add, which it is important to notice, that the state of excitement was so great that if the insurgents had attained a mere momen tary success a great loss of life and property would have been sustained before their ultimate overthrow would have been accomplished. Sir PETER GRANT, the present Governor of Jamaica, in writing to Lord CARNARVON in Oct., 1866, reports, in reference to certain evidence that was taken before a Special Commission of Oyer and Terminer that was held at Kingston, that he con siders this judicial evidence, so far as it goes, to be of more value than any evidence obtained before the Royal Commissioners in their inquiry. It is proved that the " march and attack upon the Court-house on the 11th of Oct. were premeditated, as part of au intended insurrection, and that the murder of cer tain persons who were murdered on that occasion was premeditated, and was afterwards boasted of." " This proves," adds the writer very significantly, " that the assailants proclaimed, on making their attack, their object to be war, that the war com menced was a war of colour, and that they them selves understood, the day after the slaughter, that what. they had undertaken was war." The opinion of Sir PETER GRANT is one that has great weight attached to it, and he must have had many oppor tunities of judging the case from his own observa tions, and the public will thus see for themselves what is the conclusion arrived at by an unpreju diced man, and one well qualified to pass his opinion on the case. Mr. EYRE adds to this brief but authentic enunciation of the broad features of the rebellion and is suppression, " that though insurrection had actually occurred in but one district of the colony, the Government had reason to fear that seditious feelings were rife, and open rebellion might speedily break out in other parts of the island ;" and, in con clusion, he reminded the public of a very important fact, that, during a state of warfare such as that created by open rebellion, " many things must always occur which are to be deplored, and by none more than the civil and military authorities in com mand at the time, but which it is as impossible to foresee as to prevent." We are glad to meet with this spirited vindication of his policy from the ex- Governor of Jamaica, and ita arguments are as con clusive as its tone is moderate and impressive. listing Luxuriant and Beautiful Hair is the distingt badge of Youth."

A... - eigt4l The Conservatives throughout the country are busying themselves during these Whitsuntide holi days in holding meetings and organising associations. A day or two since we heard of a demonstration of some importance at Grantham, and now we have an account of the first anniversary dinner of the Bedworth Conservative Association. Bed worth LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1868. Mr. BRIGHT has been " starring" in Liverpool, and taken advantage of the opportunity afforded bin), by an invitation irom the IVelsh National Re form Association, to dilate upon Church matters in his usual style. According to his statement, how ever, the hon. member was not very ready to ap pear on this occasion, for he sent a refusal, in the first place, to the invitation that he received, and it was not until the Welsh had shown their persever ance, by sending a deputation to him in the House of Commons, that he finally acquiesced. In look ing at the matter comprehensively, Mr. BRIGHT asks, " What will happen if we are defeated ?" and in replying to the interrogation he hints pretty plainly that an attempt will be made to separate Ireland from England. It is much to be regretted that Mr. BRIGHT will not be more measured in his lan guage when he is speaking on Irish questions. It may be all very well when he is descanting upon affairs more immediately connected with this country, but surely after all that has occurred lately be might be more circumspect than to ex press himself so incautiously. He actually goes so far as to exclaim, " Now I have never said that Irishmen are not at liberty to ask for, and, if they could accomilish it, to obtain the repeal of the Union." Quite apart from the merits of the question of the disestablishment of the Irish Church we may protest against this sort of argument being employed. It is not at all the thing for any public speaker to use threats, or even to indulge in insinuations of this nature. Let the wrongs and grievances of Ireland be redressed by all means, but not after this fashion. A little while ago Mr. BRIGHT was descanting upon the great want of Reform in Parliament, and accounting for Fenianism, if he did not excuse it, and now the Repeal of the Union is to be held in terrorern over those who will not comply with the requests of Mr. BRIGHT and his friends. As may be expected the Ministry did not fare very well in the speeches delivered by the hon. member for Birmingham. He did not employ much variety of language in discussing their vices ; virtues, of course, they have none, and the word " offensive" figures very prominently in the matter. There is a "shuffling and offensive Cabinet," and the language of the Prime Minister is " offensive and impudent" to match. Besides this, the Premier is skilful at phrases that are likely to deceive, and he offers bribes right and left to the Catholic and Presbyterian Churches, but all to no purpose, for Mr. BRIGHT has detected his errors, and held them up to general contempt and reprobation. A great part of the discourse of Mr. BRIGHT referred to the Church meeting in St. James's Hall the other day, and he exhrusted his powers of description in quizzing the bishops and others who took part in it. It was a meeting of shareholders who have to lose their dividends, and it was also a meeting of a trades union. All this is not argument, however, though it may serve the purpose of it in the opinion of some ; and it is perfectly hopeless to expect that Mr. BRIGHT will he moderate in his style or tem perate iu his lAngulge when he is addressing a meeting of the description referred to. is a name not very familiar to metropolitan ears, but it is a place of some importance nevertheless, being the centre of the mining district of Warwick shire. The Black Country does not deal much in festive gatherings, but on Tuesday last its high ways and byeways presented a gay and animated scene, being thronged with vehicles of all kinds degrees, and dignities, most of them gaily decorated for the occasion. Two or three M.P.'s honoured the meeting with their presence, and among them Mr. NEWDEGATE played a conspicuous part. The Chairman was Mr. SAMPSON LLOYD, who made a brief address in favour of the Ministry, on the ground that they had been called upon to face great and unusual difficulties. The Fenian conspiracy was a serious thing, and the difficulty of dealing with it had not been lessened by the avowed sym pathy of some persons in this country. Mr. LLOYD referred. to an expression used by a Mr. ODGERS, at a meeting of the Reform League, who had said that he hoped Feuianisca would " go on and prosper till the Irish people had knocked down their rulers as the Leaguers had knocked down the Hy de-park palings." The party who took up this line of argument were, however, extremely limited in number, and the general feeling of the country strongly sup ported the Government in its efforts to repress Fenianism. No high-flown language or verbal pro fessions could undo the effect of the Clerkenwell atrocity; and the common sense of the English people convinced them that it was absurd for men so cruel and unscrupulous to talk about liberating a nation. If the oppressed Irish were to trust to the tender mercies of men who could deliberately destroy a hundred houses, and maim and injure scores of helpless women and children, they had not much prospect of relief. In one sense the Fenian conspiracy has been a source of strength to the Government of the day, since it has rallied round them the sympathies of the middle ranks, which are always on the side of law and order. Mr. BROMLEY DAVENPORT, M.P., who followed the chairman, set himself to analyse Lord RUSSELL'S recent attack on the Ministry. He said that Lord RUSSELL'S charge of procrastina tion of public business reminded him of the accu sations of the wolf against the lamb. Lord Rus- SELL'S own party were the procrastinators. They had impeded the course of public business, and stopped the Government from bringing in bills which they were really anxious about. Mr. DAVENPORT suggested that the real cause of offence on the part of the Government was that they had kept their own opponents so long in the cold shade of Opposition. For his own part, added the speaker, ho had at first regretted that the Government did not resign, but he had since changed his opinion, since the Opposition dared not bring forward a direct vote of want of confidence, and the Ministers were not, therefore, bound to yield to their machinations. Mr. NEW DEGATE, as may be supposed, dwelt chiefly upon the merits of the ecclesiastical questions of the day, but the whole affair passed off in good part, with little difference of opinion. IVe are glad, however, to see these evidences of political life in those parts of the provinces which have hitherto been absorbed in local disputes and local interests. One of the great remedies for the bitterness and obstinacy of those quarrels between employers and employed would be an enlargement of popular sympathies and An extension of the are% of interests. Men who We are not surprised to find that Mr. Errs•. has written a letter to the various journals, in which he makes known to the public same few passages from the Report of the Royal Commissioners, and some short extracts from a despatch of the present Governor of Jamaica which throw more light upon the affair. Hitherto Mr. EYRE has scrupulously refrained from taking notice of the " malignant and monstrous calumnies and misrepresentations" are in the habit of thinking and talking about affairs of imperial interest, and discussing the con ' earns of the civilised globe, are less likely to believe their own views on matters which immediately concern themselves, the only ones which an honest man can possibly hold. Our great manufacturing and com mercial centres like Manchester, Birmingham, or Bristol may be, indeed, centres of intellect and intelligence as well as of industry ; but there are too many districts throughout the country in which the predominant industry is the only thing which occupies men's minds and faculties. Local associa tions and annual gatherings, whatever their parti cular character, be it political, agricultural, or charitable, do good service in breaking through the routine, and rubbing off the mental rust: that na turally accumulates from too exclusive devotion to one object. Let us hope, then, that the Bedworth Association will not be the last of its kind, and that its grand demonstration of Tuesday will be the precursor of many similar festivals. Yesterday the promised visit of his Royal High ness the Prince of WALES to the grand Horse Show at Islington took place, and, to the great gratifica tion of all present, ho was accompanied by the Princess of WALES and her brother, the Crown Prince of DENMARK. The appearance of the Princess on such occasions is doubly gratifying, be cause those present are not only able to gratify their loyalty by giving her a cordial greeting, but they are sensible that her visit gives satisfactory evidence of her return to health. Yeeterday evening, more over, her Royal Highness gave her first ball at Marlborough House since her long and severe ill ness, and therefore her trip to Islington in the afternoon showed that she felt strong enough to risk a little extra ex ertion. A special box had been prepared for the Royal visitors, who were of course warmly cheered by the throngs who assembled in the vast hall, and they remained for about an hour and a half, evidently feeling much interested in the display of beautiful and valuable animals, and in the speci mens of horsemanship, sometimes more quaint than scientific, which they witnessed. One of the cle verest riders was a boy of about 14, who rode a little piebald pony, which, with its rider, succeeded in eclipsing many more pretentious rivals at the leaps. One Arab pony, " Pearl," possessed an his torical interest, having carried General Sir HOPE GRANT through the whole of the Indian mutiny. He is said to have seen more military service than perhaps any other horse, and has attained the age of 18 years. He attracted a good deal of notice. Altogether the scene was a brilliant and entertain ing one, and the Show keeps up its attractions. LATEST INTELL MENCE. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FEOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JIM - 3: Secretary Sir Stafford Northcote has received the following telegrams from Sir Robert Napier : There is something exceedingly comic in the telegrams which keep us advised of Prince Napoleon's movements. After stating that his Imperial Highness on arriving at any capital was received by the ambassadors and other high officials, was lodged in a palace, and dined in state with the sovereign, diploptalic body, and great functionaries, they wind up by the announcement that the Prince is travelling incognito, and that his journey has no political object. Of course the various kings whom he visits quite know what is meant by this. They understand that while it suits the Emperor to announce beforehand that he is not responsible for his cousin's movements, in order that he may not be damaged in the public estimation by the very probable contingency of his cousin's failure, it is quite intended that the Prince shall be received with im perial honours. So we learn from Constantinople that the Sultan has been " officially!' informed of the Prince's approaching visit, and that the Father of the Faithful is preparing his Palace on the Sweet Waters for the recention of his guest. May 10. The Tunisian difficulty is over at last. The Bey bail signed the convention with this country, and diplomatic relations have been restored between France and Tunis. All's well that ends well, I suppose ; but I suspect that the Bey would be inclined to dispute the minor in this syllogism. The Mediterranean ironclad squadron is gone from Toulon to Saint Florent, Corsica. It will pass the summer in the neighbourhood of that island, making occasional ex perimental trips. It will take part in the great fetes of August 15, when the centenary of the annexation of the island to France will be observed. On the 19th the 99th anniversary of the birth of Napoleon I. will be celebrated, and it is probable that his successor will be present and make a speech. If he do, you may be sure that it will be considerably more discreet than that which was made by his cousin some three years ago. M. Gressier has presented the report of the Commission upon the Loan, in which the commissioners state that while they fixed the loan at 400 millions, " the Council of State persists in fixing it at 440 millions. But the com mission maintains its amendments. It is right, in our opinion, for our financial position imperiously requires economy." The report concludes with a review of the position of Franco, and the causes which have made the loan necessary. The commissioners admit that there was last year a danger of collision, and that it was necessary to spend a large sum of money in developing the military resources of the country ; but, say they, that contingency is " now far off, and France is sufficiently strong not to fear any attack, sufficiently penetrated with its true interests not to wish any aggres sion, and to be able to give itself up without any pre-occu pation—at least, of this sort—to works of commerce, indus try, and agriculture." Still stronger language follows. It declares that the Corps Legislatif must " shew itself severe with regard to an increase of its expenses ;" that every Minister ought to aid the Minister of Finance in economising; that "each Minister ought to be the Finance Minister of his own department, and the most energetic controller of its expenses ; thaehe ought to abandon that regrettable habit of proposing every year a fresh increase, and that he ought to have this truth constantly present to his mind—only good finance can ensure prosperity at home and power abroad." Weighty words these, which can scarcely fail to have an effect. I presume it is in order to counteract them that the semi-efficial journals are just now renewing their complaints against the hostile attitude of the German press. The Patrie especially has bitterly complained of a certain article in Bismarck's organ. The article certainly was not particularly friendly ; but the Patrie has not mended matters by warning Prussia that serious consequences will be likely to follow a repetitionof this kind of writing. The son of Theodore is a child ; his life would not be safe in Abyssinia. I solicit permission to carry him and his mother, shGuld they desire it, to Bombay, on the part of Government, and to entrust the child to the Rev. Dr. Wilson to be educated. No prospect has been held out to mother but that of comfortable maintenance. Mother at present ill; recovery doubtful. CAMP HA I ICH ULLUT, May 16. In continuation of my telegram, dated the 10th inst., I regret to say that the widowed Queen of Theodore died last ni g ht in my camp. The surgeon who attended her reports her death to hare resulted from disease of the lungs of long standing. Every comfort that we could procure was supplied 'her, and her every wish attended to during her illness . Her remains will be buried this morning in the church of Clielicat. An escort of our troops accom panied the funeral procession beyond our pickets. The rearguard of the force moved yesterday from Antalo, and is about to march to Dongolo. All is well. ADIGERAT, May 21. I propose to leave at Zoulla for the present the Madras and Bombay Sappers, the 31 and 25th Regiments Native Infantry, the Army Works Corps, and the Bengal Coolie Corps. All other troops will have embarked by June the Ist. Troops leaving quickly. Flood in Sooroo defile. Six hundred natives drowned ; some mules also. No apprehension of force being delayed. Health of troops excellent. No Date. Her Majesty's most gracious message has been most enthusiastically received by the troops. Colonel Milward leaves by the mail steamer of the 22d inst. Carries the crown, robe, and State seal of Theodore, in the hope that her Majcsty Queen Victoria may be graciously pleased to ac cept them as a tribute of respectful duty and affectionate loyalty from her Majesty's army in Abyssinia. The following telegram has also been received at the India-office from Colonel Milward : SUEZ, June 1. I have been detained four days by ship strand ing on a reef in Red Sea. Will proceed by next mail, or earlier if possible, with despatches. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SOUTHAMPTON, June 4. The France publishes a private telegram from Copen hagen to the effect that the Danish Government is expect ing immediately an ultimatum from Berlin respecting the Schleswig question, and it is feared that the resolution taken by Prussia leaves no hope of conciliation between that Government and Denmark. The same journal mentions that the Courts of Sweden and Denmark are to visit each other as soon as the Crown Prince of Den mark returns from England. It is not stated when his marriage with the Princes of Sweden takes place. A few days ago 4,000 persons agreed to meet in the gardens of the Od6on, at Hanover, in order to celebrate the birthday of their former king. When some 1,500 of them had assembled, the police appeared and invited them to leave. As the invitation was not accepted, the police pro ceeded to clear the garden. This had the effect of collecting a still larger crowd in the streets, not a little excited by their forcible ejectment. A largo number of them then went to the,George Park ; they were not allowed to remain there, but were told that this was a continuation of the Political manlfestation which could not be permitted. Then they went to a wax' outside the town ; and here they danced and shouted " Hoch !" to their hearts' content, and were just about to let off some fireworks when once more the police appeared and stopped the display. The people then thought it was time to go- home, and passing the old Royal Palace of Herrenhausen on the way, they chanted Luther's" Ein, feste Burg ist unser Gott," and wound up with three cheers for King George. This manifestation partly explains Bismarck's extreme carefulness not to wound French susceptibilities by a premature admission of South Germany to the North German Confederation. It is clear that King William is not yet so firmly seated in the affec tions of his newly-annexed Hanoverian subjects as to render it certain that a foreign war would not be attended by internal insurrection. The North German Lloyd's steamer Berlin sailed this morning for Baltimore direct, with 512 passen gers, and a very large cargo.

R. Veall, of Wolverhampton, the following occurs :—" I must mention an ancient office which still exists—i.e., the dog whipper, whom in some village churches it used to be necessary to appoint. At Trysull, near Wolverhampton, John Rudge, by his will, gave ss. a quarter to a poor man to go about the pa ish church during sermon to keep people awake—rather a poor compliment to the clergyman—and keep dogs out of the church. The sum is still paid for that purpos .. Richard Dovey, of Farnacote, Shropshire, in the year 1659, left Bs. per annum to some poor man of the parish of Claverley who should undertake to awaken sleepers and whip dogs from the church ; 10s. per annum is still paid for that purpose. In one of the Lin colnshire village churches, a short time since, I counted no fewer than five sheep dogs present during Divine service. I could not ascertain, however, that a dog whipper had ever held the office." Baron von Beust's difficulties are not all surmounted yet. - The Czechs of Bohemia are daily crying out m ore ai *ore loudly far a separate Constitution and Parlia ment such as have been given to Hungary. Nor is this all. The Transylvanians want to separate from Hungary. In fact, there seems to be a general disintegration of what is known al the Austrian Empire. With Venetia altogether escaped from Imperial control, and Hungary partly so, every one of *e innumerable nationalities which consti tute the empire is forgoverning itself after its own fashion. Of course there is a limit to this, and while it was wise to make concessions to Hungary—by far the largest province under the Kaiser's rule—it is not to be expected that the small provinces will obtain autonomy. The heat in Italy has been something terrible. On the 28th ult. the thermometer at Florence was 95 deg. in the shade, and on the following morning 79 do g , at 8 aan. An unglish gentleman residing in Lungarno has disco vered an admirable means of keeping himself cool in this tropical -climate. His study is walled. and floored with zinc, b e i n g in fact a large tank filled breast-high with water. A few articles of furniture, as a writing. table, a chair or two, and a well stored book case, raised high and dry upon cast-iron supports, and kept fast to their moorings by means of screws, complete the simple arrangements. In this retreat—his aquarium, he calls it—our ingenious countryman passes the hot hours of the day, receiving his friends and writing his letters, with the occasional variety of a dip beneath the surface. His habits are those of a student, and it is delightful to see him striking out every now and then with hands and feet in the direction of his dictionary or other books of refl. rence spread open for use upon a sloping bank or ledge above watermark. Ismail Pasha, Viceroy, or, since the firman of May 14, 1867, King of Egypt, is said by the Etat , (ant to be seriously ill with a diseased throat. Ismail is 52 years old. The first anniversary dinner of the Bedsworth Conserva. ttve Association has given the two members for North Warwickshire an opportunity of addressing their consti. tuents. The chair was occupied by Mr. Sampson Lloyd, the defeated candidate at the last Birmingham election, who made a characteristic speech in proposing " The health of her Majesty's Ministers." He thought the Ministry was composed of men of integrity, and therefore deserved the thanks of the country ; praised the firmness with which the Home Secretary had dealt with the Fenians ; and contended that the Ministry had done what no Government for fifteen years past could do —settled the Reform question. Mr. Bromley Davenport made an attack on Earl Russell for his recent conduct in the House of Lords ; for although he had brought forward charges against the present holders of office which comprised every iniquity it was possible to commit, he had forgotten to allude +-,c, the successful termi nation of the Abyssinian campaign, and other matters favourable to them. Mr. Davenport added that he had at first regretted that the Government did not resign, but he now considered that they were perfectly right to remain in power, in order "to defeat the machinations of the Opposition." In replying to the toast of " The County Members," Mr. Newdegate announced his intention to support the present Government—as he did every Govern ment—until they did wrong. He had felt it his duty to oppose them at the commencement of the year, when they proposed to make over to Cardinal Cullen and his hierarchy a university for Ireland, and to endow it. But ho was glad that they had found that they must not submit the education of the higher classes in Ireland to the Pope's nomino. The speaker ridiculed the cry of religious equality se emanating from Archbishop Manning and Cardinal Cullen, the representatives of the Pope, who claimed to be th 3 centre of the only true religion, and would n't allow free expression to any other religion where he could prevent it. In conclusion, Mr. Newdegate said theiy would have to govern Ireland as Cromwell governed it by the sword—if they lost the only means by which that' could approach at once the conscience and intelligence of t 122 peoples TRADES UNION CONG.RESEL A congress of the representatives of various trades of the United Kingdom commenced its sittings at Manchestercn Tuesday. The congress had been called by the Manchester "nd Salford Trades Council, and it hol , ls its sittings in the chanics' Institution. Among the places represented are London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton. Bradford, Preston, Dundee, Warrington, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Salford. The trades represented include various branches of the cotton trade, of the glass trade, let• terpress printers, shipbuilders, boilermakers, brickmakers, joiners, tailors, and plasterers. Mr. W. Wood havingbeen appointed president, Mr. F. Booker vice-president, and Mr. Peter Shorrocks secretary, it was arranged to divide the business each day into morning and evening sittings, and the remainder of the morning's sittings was consumed in appointing the standing orders and arranging the order and mode of business to be adopted by the congress. Papers, previously prepared by such societies as have elected to do so, will be laid before the congress on the various subjects which at the present time affect trade societies, each paper to be followed by discussion upon the points advanced. The subjects treated upon will include the following :-1. Trade unions an absolute necessity; 2. Trade unions and political economy ; 3. The effect of trade unions on foreign competition ; 4. Regula lation of the hours of labour ; 5. Limitation of apprentices; 6. Technical education ; 7. Courts of arbitration and con- ciliation ; 8. Co-operation ; 9. The present inequality of the law in regard to conspiracy, intimidation, picketing, coercion, &c. ; 10. Factory Acts Extension Bill, 1867—the necessity of compulsory inspection and its application to all places were women and children are employed ; 11. The present Royal Commission on Trade Unions—how far worthy of the confidence of the trade union interest ; 12. Lega?isation of trade societies; 13. The necessity of an annual congress of trade representatives from the various centres of industry. MR. GLADSTONE ON THE SCOTCH' UNIVERSITIES. At a meeting held at Edinburgh for the promotion of the election of Mr. Gladstone to the chancellorship of the university, vacant by the death of Lord Brougham, Professor Playfair read a letter from Mr. Gladstone, in which he said : "In 1858 I held an opinion more than a year before I was chosen Rector, that the value of Scottish degrees, especially those other than medical, would be enhanced if the four universities of Scotland formed themselves into one national university, But this was (see Hansard, vol. 151, p. 740) presuming a willingness was found to combine in this way.' This willingness is repeated over and over again, and is the basis of the whole affair as it was then treated by me ; and perhaps I may observe that the clause which I moved provided only for action ' with the consent of such universities respectively,' so that even if three universi ties had desired the connection, the fourth could have stopped it. This plan was approved by Lord Bich° and Mr. Dunlop, and opposed by no one. The then Lord-Advocate Inglis suggested its further consideration. It was brought up again on the report of the bill, and agreed to by him and by the whole House. The form of it had been altered ; and, singularly enough, as it now stands it allows each univer sity singly to join a national university. I have no means at this moment of accounting for the alteration of the clause with certainty, but my decided im pression is that it was probably redrawn at the instance (if not under the direction) of the then Lord-Advocate, and thus brought into a form less favourable to the free agency of the Scottish universi ties, though still recognising it pretty largely. My recol lection is, that this proposal to empower the Scottish universities to unite was very acceptable at the time to Scotch members generally. I think this history of the nature and limits of my proposal—founded on documents accessible to all—is better than any profession I can now make. Since the date of it, the subject has been die missed from my mind, like many others, for the simple reason that the first condition required for giving it vitality did not appear to exist. To any plan for forcing a rnion I should then have been, and I now am, totally opposed. You will, I hope, kindly publish this letter." English sparrows have made their appearance in great num bers, and cider making has commenced in New Zealand. The Church News gives " an unqualified contradiction" to the report that one of the monks at Laleham had been kept chained like a dog for four days in the back garden of the monastery. A rulo brought before the Court of Common Pleas, calling upon Lord Fitzhardinge t , ) answer certain inter rogatories with regard to his financial position, was refused. The judge at chambers had previously refused the appli cation. In an action brought against Mr. James Stansfeld, father of Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., a judge of one of the York shire county courts districts, the Barons of the Court of Exchequer decided that no action could lie against a judge for words spoken by him in his judicial capacity. D. R. Harrison, an engraver, of New York, believes him self to be the rightful owner of £2,000,000, formerly the property of William Harrison, of London. Tho heirs of William Harrison have been advertised for for some weeks past in the leading journals. the New York Harrison claims to be a nephew of the wealthy Londoner. Mr. Clements Markham, the secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, who has acted as the accredited geographer of the Abyssinian expedition, has arrived at Marseilles ; and on Monday next will communicate all his additional observations on the country between Antalo and Magdala, at the evening meeting at Burlington House. The master and wardens of tho Merchant Taylors' Com pany are about to entertain tho Premier and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers at a grand banquet in their stately cor porate hall in Threadneedle-street. The entertainment will be given on the evening of Wednesday, the 17th of June, and will be conducted on a scale of extraorditiary splendour. At the Hull Police-oilic?, on Tuesday, Donald Mitchell was sentenced to three months' bard labour for having, with ether men on strike, intimida'ed certain of Messrs. Earlo's workmen, and so prevented them going to work. The case arose out of a strike at an iron shipbuilding yard, and will be still further investigated, owing to other trades unionists being implicated. Sir T. D. Lloyd intends to resign his seat for tho county of Cardigan at the next election. Col. Pryse also intends to retire from the borough representation. Mr. D. Davies, who fought a bard battle with Sir Thomas in 1865, will be in vited to stand for the county, and the hon. baronet will be asked to transfer his services from the county to the borough. It is not known whether he will accept the invitation. It is authoritatively announced that the rumoured resig nation of Lieutenant-Colonel Stuart, tho present Liberal member for Cardiff, is incorrect, and that the gallant colonel will again come forward. On the Conservative side several names havo been mentioned as probable candidates, and Dr. Nicboll Came and Mr. George Elliott have been named as Liberal - candidates. It is considered, however, that Colonel Stuart's scat is safe so long as he remains steadfast to the Liberal principles which he has always professed. The days for holding the following summer circuits were yesterday morning settled by the Judges, viz.: Northern Circuit (Lord Chief Baron Reny and Mr. Justice Hannon), Durham, July 9 ; Newcastle, July 14 ; Carlisle, July 18 ; Appleby, July 22 ; Lancaster, July 23 ; Man chester, July 28; Liverpool, August 11. Western (Mr. Baron Channel! and Mr. Justice Mellor), Winchester, July 9; Salisbury, July 15; Dorchester, July 18 ; Exeter, July 22; Bodmin, July 29; Wells, Aug. 3; Bristol, Aug. 7. A rather serious riot has occurred at Stockton. It ap- pears to have had its origin from the unprovoked violence of a number of Irishmen, who attacked promiscuously any one they met in the streets. The police interfered, and the officers and those who assisted them were roughly handled. On Tuesday night the town was in an alarmed and excited state ; special constables had been sworn in, and the volunteers had been summoned to be ready incase of emergency. The Guardian announces the death of the Rev. Pre. bendary John llonywood Randolph, a namefamiliar to the Church of England, and especially to the diocese of London. lie was the second son of Dr. Randolph, a former Bishop of London, and received lucrative preferment at his father's hand, including a prebendal stall in St. Paul's Cathedral. His elder l)fother, who survives him, is Senior Prebendary in the same cathedral, and in the year that he was ordained, 56 years ago, ho was appointed to his stall, worth £1,500 a year, and a living worth £2,000 a years. Not a bad start in life for a lad of some 23 years. AN' UNNATI:UAL FA THER.-1 1 ho Court of Assizes of the Mono has just tried a labouring man named reef, a widower, aged 30, on a charge of attempting to drdwu his own son, aged five, by throwing him into the Rhone. The poor child was arlic:ed wi:h ar. incurable tumour in the knee, and appears to have formed an obslaclo to a second marriage of the accused. The father in February last fetched the boy front a village called Grenny, where he was Laing brought up, and, conveying him to Lyons, took him to an isolated spot on the Rhone, and then throwing him into the water, took to flight. Fortunately the child fell in an eddy which cast him against the bank, and, having clung to some projecting stones, he was saved by a soldier, who heard his cries while passing at a distance, and who arrived just at the moment when he was losing his hold from exhaustion. The father was soon after arrested. He manifested no re morse for his condult, and was conrlemned to hard labour ; 4 2; - _ . inz art _ it_Pt 61. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, June 1. The Queen walked out in the morning, accom panied by Princess Beatrice; and her Majesty drove out in the afternoon, with Princess Louise and Prince Leopold. FASMOYS FOR JUNE. (From Le Follet.) So far ns the style and make of dress is concerned we find there is not much change since last month. The " Marie Antoinette" &ha takes a very promi nent place in most toilettes, though for ladies no longer young other shapes more suitable replace the paletot. The fichu is essentially youthful in appear ance when worn as an out-of-door garment ; and, unless the figure is young, the rotonde or flowing mantle is more becoming. The fichus are very pretty when made entirely of lace, as they very frequently are; also of silk matching the dress, and trimmed with lace, or of black silk, and worn with a coloured dress. Black lace is very fashionable, not only for fichus but mantles, and scarfs of vari ous descriptions, and sometimes lined with colour. Flounces are much in favour. The greater number of short dresses are trimmed with a narrow flounce not unfrequently of a different colour to the dress. The under-skirts are also made with a flounce, and in that case the whole toilette, including the fichu, should be trimmed to match. The upper skirts are still very generally worn in the panier style, being caught up at the sides, puffing out at the back, whilst the front breadth is perfectly flat, having no crinoline or stiffness under it, the crinoline always commencing from the sides, but being carefully shaped so as to keep the bottom of the dress from hanging ungracefully limp. For in-door dress the double skirt forming paniers, with a muslin body, completed by a small hanging veste, with or with out sleeves, is very much worn. These fancy vestes are made of cachemire, and trimmed with gold cord or braid, or narrow plaited flounces, and have some times scarf sashes. They are very stylish and fan ciful. Jet has almost entirely gone out of fashion, fringe (either of silk with network, or of satin balls, &c.) having to a great extent taken its place. There are also many rich galons and superb ribbons for sashes to be worn with summer dresses. The va riety of sashes is immense. Amongst others we mention the " Violetta," with a taffetas bow, formed of a cluster of small bows cut in the shape of vio lets ; the ceinture " Papillon," with butterfly bow ; the ceinture " Djelma," forming an Oriental scarf ; the ceinture " Postillon," with small basque behind ; ceinture " Collette," looping up the dress a la par swine : and the ceinture " Camargo," gathering up the skirt on paniers. Although the short costume is the only dress admissible for morning costume or walking-dress, our readers must not suppose they are ever admissible for fete toilette ; for such occa sions they should be made long, training behind, though short in the front, the side breadths being much longer, and gathered to the length of the front, thus forming a kind of panier merely by the manner in which the skirt is set on. An effort is being made to shorten the train even in full dress. This, however, if not a failure, will at least be a work of time; at present for dinner and evening dress the train is still in faiour. Chmnbery gauze is much in favour for evening dress. With dresses of this material are worn sashes of wide ribbon—bright colours, either to match or contrast well. Dresses of India muslin, trimmed with lace, are also worn over coloured silk. This has always a charming effect. White Algeriennea• or alpaca, are also useful materials for the Louts XVI. style, which is now the rage, as they fall in graceful and soft folds, and contrast so well with the bright-coloured satin bows with which these dresses must be trimmed ; and Marie Antoinette fichu in black lace. Bonnets have undergone little if any change since last month. The chapeau mantille is still the favourite style. Black lace is generally preferred, but white and coloured crape and blonde are much used ; care should be taken that the colour chosen is one that will suit ; a black lace mantille with bouquet of coloured or macres flowers is becoming to any complexion, and may be worn with any dress. Some ladies have been wearing the mantille with simply a bow of coloured ribbon forming a diaden3, and to which the mantille is attached. This, although by no means an inelegant coiffure, is far too eccentric to become general. Rice and fancy straw are also much used. A very pretty model with these materials may be made with a very small fanchon trimmed en diadem, with a wreath of green beetles and grasses ; another piece of the straw plaited falls over the chignon, but not deep enough to cover it. Barbes of white blonde, fastened by s bouquet to match the diadem. Another very charm' ing model is a fanchon of tulle, entirely covered Wit h lilies of the valley, and edged with blonde ; a fringe of lilies across the chignon, and a bouquet of pink and white at the side. Blonde strings, fastened with small bouquet. A chapeau "Marie Antoinette" of black figured tulle ; the barbes, fixed at the back under a bow of black satin, cross in front, and are fastened under another satin bow. Diadem of lace, with a white aigrette fixed at the side by a well bird of bright colours. A chapeau fanchonette of white straw, with a scarf of black tulle placed a la Trianon—that is to say, across the back, so as t ° , form the barbes. Bandeau of daisies, with silver ed leaves mixed with the ruche of blonde. Anothe r white straw fanchon was trimmed simply with a charming bow of blue ribbon at the side, and fringe of wild hyacinths across the chignon. Strings of blue ribbon edged with blonde. A chapeau pouf 01 blue blonde, with long bow and barbes of the same ; a soft curled feather falling across the front. 3 ' black lace bonnet, with a diadem of field flower s and green beetles ; barbes of lace. A chapea u Lamballe" of rice straw,' trimmed round with a ruche of straw-coloured silk pinked. Red rose at. the side, and strings of silk to match the ruche. 14 ; bonnet of green tulle, trimmed with white lilac an d i blonde ; and another of light blue tulle, trimme d with myosotis and blonde. Caps now, as at all times, follow as nearly se possible the bonnets of the season. We are 13 0 . 1 therefore, surprised to see the mantille increasing l y gaining favour, particularly as it is not only charming accompaniment to a young face, but map be equally well arranged to suit any age. T he small round cap is made simply with a frill of la ce or blonde trimmed in front with ribbon or flowers, and at the back with bow and long ends f a lling over the chignon.
