The local preparations for the review of the Volunteers at Portsmouth on Easter Monday ap pear to be progressing very favourably. Upwards of £l,OOO has been already subscribed to the general fund for meeting the usual incidental expenses, but undoubtedly more than twice that sum will be re- quired to meet all the exigencies of the case. There will possibly be a much larger number of Volun teers present on the slopes of Portsdown than was seen either on Brighton or on Dover Downs, and the greater the numbers of the Volunteer army, necessarily the greater will be the strain upon the capabilities of the place where the review may take place. Five hundred horses are already required for the artillery that will be present, and nearly as many more as officers' chargers. A local committee has waited upon the authorities at the War-office and the Admiralty to discuss points of detail connected with the review, and have been met in the most cordial man ner. Lord Longford has granted the issue from the Government stores of marquees, tents, camp bed steads, and other stores, for the use of such of the Volunteers who may determine to encamp during their stay at Portsmouth, and two of the monster forts on Portsdown-hill—Widly and Southwick— will be thrown open to the public on the morning of the review. From the summit of the barracks in the gorge of each of these works every movement of the attacking and defending armies, from the investment of the Hilsea position to the final defeat of the besieging army on the heights of Portsdown, will be distinctly visible to as many hundreds of thousands of spectators as may choose to be pre sent. The Admiralty authorities have expressed their anxiety to render all the assistance in their power, and to give a naval character to some por tion of the proceedings. A light squadron o f gun boats and steam launches will take up a position in the narrow lakes between the grand old Norman ruins of Porchester Castle (the Portus Magnus of the Romans) and the west of the Hilsea lines, and, with a brigade of seamen and marines, landed on the low shore in front, will attack the enemy's right and cover the sortie that will be made by the garrison. The iron clad squadron will not be at Spithead at the time of the review, owing to its attendance upon his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales on his visit to Ire- land, but a very respectable squadron of vessels may be collected without trouble from other resources at Portsmouth and from the adjacent ports to do honour to the occasion if necessary. Several of the Volunteer corps headquarters will arrive at Ports mouth two or three days before the review. On Sunday there will be a grand church parade on Southsea-common, and the Hon. Artillery Company will attend Divine service at the ancient church of St. Thomas, in the High-street, Portsmouth. The first great feature of the review day will be the " march past" on Southsea-common. This will all be managed easily enough, but the ques tion then remains,—how will the vast body of spectators who are certain to be present manage to transport themselves to Portsdown to witness the review ? The restricted railway communication existing between Southsea-common and Cosham will be altogether inadequate for such a purpose, and there only remains, therefore, the South- Western Company's Railway from the Landport station at Portsmouth to its first station at Cosham, at the foot of Portsdown. If the railway company can convey the public, in addition to a part of the troops, over this four miles extent of rail from the " march past" to the scene of the intended opera- tious, both the march past and the battle may be witnessed by one person, but if the railway people cannot do this, it would certainly appear that visi tors to Portsmouth on Easter Monday will have to elect whether they wiil be present at the ceremonial pageant of the march past or at the subsequent manoeuvres under Portsdown. General Lindsay, Inspector-General of Volunteers, is expected to visit Portsmouth during the present week, and com plete the necessary preliminary arrangements. AQUA7ICS. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE. As the two eights aro expected at Putney to-day, we may be able soon to report of their respective appearances upon the Thames water. Meanwhile Putney, and the in habitants thereof, are quite eager to receive their very welcome visitors. The gentlemen from Oxford will stay, as usual, at the White Lion ; those from Cambridge will take up their old quarters, under the new management, at the Star and Garter, where Mr. Warner, the coxswain, arrived on Saturday last.

He has attempted to throw himself out of window, and exhibited such dangerous tendencies that ho is now obliged to be kept under restraint. Sergeant Chown, on the conclusion of the trial of Clancy, at the Old Bailey, was.highly compli mented by Mr. Justice Bramwell, and ordered a special reward for his courage, and Sir T.Henry also took occasion to speak in high terms of the conduct of Chown. The wife and two children of such an useful public servant are worthy the consideration of the benevolent. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills. Merit Re warded.—This famous family medicine has stood the test of time and the most unrelenting opposition. Those pills are a direct purifier of the blood and all the other fluids of the human body. During the winter and early spring no house or home should be without the means of arresting disease at its onset; such means are safely and surely pre sented in these excellent pills when they are taken accord ing to their accompanying directions. Holloway's Medi- CIIIO removes dyspepsia, promotes digestion, and acts as a mild and effective aperient. These pills are strongly re commended to those persons who aro constitutionally weak and whose nervous systems have been shattered by ill nesses; on such they will confer an inestimable blessing.

Henry Howard Short, a man about 41 years of age, who gave no address, and was attired in a capacious coat with a side pocket capable of containing an innumerable num ber of articles, was charged before Mr. Flowers with stealing two glasses value about 2s from the Wellington Tavern, at the corner of Wellington street, Strand, kept by Mr. Speedy. According to the evidence of Henry Thos. finish, barman, the prisoner was in the habit of frequent ing the house for some time past, and during that period they had missed several gross of glasses. on Friday, at five minutes past eight o'clock, He called for a glass of cooper, and after standing 10 minutes he sat down in the corner of the bar, and witness then saw him put a glass in his pocket. He sat there about another ten minutes, and then got up and called for another glass of cooper and sat down again for ten minutes. Witness then saw him put another glass in his pocket. lie stayed an hour longer when he went out, and wit ness, who had been purposely watching bun, having his suspicions already aroused, followed him and gave him into custody. They found the glasses on On the magistrate asking whether he was known, it was found that be had been convicted four times for stealing glasses. He was committed for MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FRAUD ON THE UNIVERSAL BENEFICENT SOCIETY. —Thomas Pugh, a tall, respectable-looking man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with obtaining from Mr. Thomas Grant Facey, secretary of. .the Universal Beneficent Society, No. 15, Soho-square, the sum of 305., with intent to defraud. Mr. Wrest, from the office of Meesrs. Shaen and Roscoe, appeared for the prosecution, and called Mr. Wm. Nichol; who said—l am in the em ploy of the Universal Beneficent Society, No. 15, Soho-square. The prisoner, between 10 and 11 on the morning of the 13th inst., came to the office, and said that he had been to No. 30, Dover-street, the residence of the Marquis Townshend, and that he had seen Mr. Taylor, the butler to the Marquis Townshend. I asked him if he had been there, and he said that he was sent to Mr. Taylor by Mr. Douglas, the master of the Marylebone Workhouse, to be assisted to Liverpool. I expressed my sur prise that he should be sent for such a pur pose by the parochial authorities, and then told him that he had better wait and see the secre tary, and when the secretary came I introduced the prisoner to him. The Prisoner—l never said anything about Mr. Douglas. Mr. Thos. Grant Facey, secretary of the Univer sal Beneficent Society, No. 15, Soho-square, said— On the 13th inst., when I got to the office, Mr. Nicholl made a communication to me, and in con sequence I saw the prisoner. I asked what the nature of his application was, and he said that he had been sent by Mr. Douglas, the master of Marylebone Workhouse, to Mr. Taylor, the butler of the Marquis Townshend, and that Mr. Taylor was a personal acquaintance of Mr. Douglas's, to ask him to interest himself with the Marquis Towns hend for the purpose of procuring assistance for him. I asked him for what purpose he wanted assistance, and he said to go to Liverpool, where he had friends who were able to assist him. I asked him if he knew Mr. Douglas, and he said, " Yes, I know him well ; I am an old acquaintance of Mr. Douglas, and he knew me when I kept a public-house in Lancashire," and he also said that as Mr. Douglas knew him he had not mixed him up with the casual paupers the previous evening. I then told him that I would make some inquiries a n d gave hi m a note to Mr. Douglas—it was to ask Mr. Douglas to find him lodgings till I could make some inquiries ; and he came again on the 16th, and, in answer to my question, said Mr. Douglas had treated him very well, but that Mr. Douglas thought the workhouse was not a fit place for him, to look out for some thing, and gave him a letter to the Dudley Stuart Refuge. As the prisoner appeared to be a respect able man, had tears in his eyes, and urged for assist ance to go to Liverpool, I gave him 30s. and took his receipt for it—the money being for the purpose of proceeding to Liverpool. I should not have given him the 30s. if I had not believed be had been sent by Mr. Douglas. I saw the prisoner again on the 20th, the prisoner calling at the office, and he said Mr. Douglas could not understand what all the inquiries were about. I told him that I had made inquiries and found that Mr. Douglas did not know him, and , that I had given him the money to go Liverpool, and that he had not done so. The prisoner subsequently left the office, and then a warrant for his apprehension was applied for. _ _ Mr. John Edward Douglas, master of the Mary lebone Workhouse, said—l never sent the prisoner to the Marquis Townshend's butler, nor to the Universal Beneficent Society. Mr. West said that as something was known of the prisoner, he had to ask that he might be re manded. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. SAVAGE AND P E C THAMES. ULIAR ASSAULT.—James Ward law, the chief mate of a ship called the Fort Re gent, which left the 'West India Dock yesterday for dry dock, was brought before Mr. Paget on a war rant, charged with violently assaulting a man of colour named Alexander Bonit, who described him self as a sailor and a nigger of Pedlar's-orchard, Bull-lane, Stepney. The defendant was represented by Mr. Gorman, clerk to Mr. Hodgson, a solicitor. A few days since the complainant was in attend ance at this court for the purpose of giving evidence against the prisoner, who charged another person with assault. The case was dismissed by Mr. Paget on Wadlow's own testimony and no other person was examined. The complainant Bonit was pur suing his way home when he was assaulted by the prisoner, who said "I'll pay you for being a wit ness against me," called him a son of a _____, and struck him on the face with his fist. The com plainant tried to clear" himself from the prisoner, when another man, not in any way interested in the matter, came up and kicked him. The pri soner said, " Give it to him, and I'll pay you." The two ruffians kicked and beat the complainant in asavage manner, left him bleeding on the ground, and ran away. The case was clearly made oat` by the complainant and his witnesses, but one witness called for the prosecution, who said his name was David Lewis, a Jew, said that the little man, the complainant, struck the prisoner, and both ran into the shop fighting. Mr. Paget said that Lewis ought to have been called by the prisoner, and that he did not like the hurried and flippant manner in which Lewis gave his evidence, and asked who th e man was w h o so wantonly and gratuitously assisted in assaulting the complainant. A witness said that the man was known by the name of Punch. Mr. Paget could not issue his warrant for the arrest of Punch. (A laugh.) A witness—l only know him by the name of Punch. He is a short, punchy looking fellow. Mr. Paget declined to have anything to do with Punch. Mr. Goram delivered an ingenious speech for the prisoner, who, he said, was not the perpetrator or the instigator of the assault, and called a witness who saw nothing of the affray. Arr. Paget said that the case was clearly made out, and a very savage assault had been com mitted. His duty was clear on thi s case , and that was to punish the prisoner with all the severity in his power. A person doing his duty and attending a court of Justice, for the purpose of giving evidence, was brutally assaulted by the chief mate of a ship on his way home, and another man, encouraged by the prisoner, joined in the outrage. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. The Benchers of the honourable Society of the Middle Temple aro preparing for publication a History of the Temple, with a succinct account of the most eminent of its alumni. The record will extend over a period of be tweeLi three and four centuries. THE ALLEGED MURDER ON THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. Mr. William Carter, the Surrey coroner, has been occu pied at the Railway Tavern, Surbiton, respecting the cir cumstances attending the supposed murder of James Randle, aged 20 years. The case excited great interest, in consequence of its having .been stated that the deceased had been robbed, murdered, and thrown out of the second-class carriage of an express train while travelling from the Waterloo station to Surbiton. A host of witnesses were examined, and it was proved that the deceased was a. labourer living at Surbiton. On Saturday week he left his cottage with one pound in his pocket, and at a little after five o'clock the same evening he entered the Waterloo Railway Station under the influence of liquor. He had then, it is stated, eight shillings about him, but he was so intoxicated that he was not allowed to go home by the train, and he was detained for an hour and a half. When the express train was about to leave at seven o'clock, he was placed in one of the compartments of a second-class carriage. Ile was then intoxicated, and looked sleepy. A railway porter swore that the de ceased was alone when the train left the station, and that it would have been utterly impossible for any second person to have entered the compartment in which the deceased was before the train reached Sur biton. At that time the deceased wore a cap. When the train arrived at its destination the door of the deceased's compartment was found open, and the deceased was gone. Search along the line was instantly made, and his body was found lying in the "six foot," within 400 yards of the Wimbledon station. He Was quite dead. His trousers were hanging down about his legs, and his money was gone. It was supposed that he had lost it out of his trousers pocket. A. ticket-collector said that he believed that when the Grain was passing by the Wimbledon station he awoke suddenly, and thought that he had reached Surbiton. He must then have opened the door and fallen out. Mr. Payne, surgeon, said that there was a severe wound on the right temple of the deceased, and his skull was fractured. Such injuries might be caused by a man falling from a train while it was in motion. The Coroner having summed up; the jury returned verdict of accidental death. The morning papers contain nothing definite as to the terms of the resolution which has occupied Mr. Gladstone so many anxious days in preparing. The Times offers no speculations, but contents itself with making a severe attack on the long-threatened Establishment. It tells the Liberal leader that if he succeeds he will have redeemed his party from its most scandalous weakness and its grossest inconsistency, in having tolerated so long the most audacious and most colossal of ecclesiastical iniqui ties. That is the prize of honour for which he contends, and which will certainly give him a high place in the annals of the Liberal party. On the other hand, if he be beaten, he leaves his rival master of the field. He will establish Mr. Disraeli as the Protestant Champion, the Defender of the English faith, and the idol of half Eng land and a third of Ireland. The Daily News is more precise. It affirms that the scheme likely to be recommended by Mr. Gladstone is something like this : —After a certain date vacancies occur ring in the Crown livings and ecclesiastical dignities of the Protestant Establishment shall not be filled up. The State Church, as a State Church, will, on this plan, be allowed gradually to fade away. In each benefice and diocese it will be disestablished, as the occasion arises. The ecclesiastical revolution will thus be effected gradually; and time wi'l be given to those more imme diately concerned in it to make arrangements for the new state of things on which they are about to enter. By this plan action could be instantaneously taken, and in the present condition of. Ireland promptitude would be an enormous advantage, as giving a pledge of sincerity which is much needed. The Post feels confident that Mr. Gladstone will not fall into the error of proposing any endowment of the Catholic Church, a measure which would be rejected alike by Catholics and Protestants ; and equally confident of his not adopting the already condemned proposition of Lord Russell for division of endowments. The errors of Lord Grey and of Earl Russell must be avoided if success is to attend the efforts of the new chief. The Standard hints at dissensions in the Opposition camp, and appeals to the " conscientiousness of the inde pendent Liberals" to rescue the Government from the danger with which it is threatened. Those who remember the torrents of abuse which the same paper poured upon the half-dozen Conservatives who, in the Danish debate of 1864, manifested sufficient courage to vote with Lord Palmerston will estimate at its right figure the standard of "conscientious independence" which it has now set up. By the Refsmm Act the county of Cheshire is divided into three parts, and the divisions of North and South will be changed into South; Mid., and East. It is probable that Sir Philip Egerton and Mr. Tollemache, the present members for South Cheshire, will remain with their present constituents. Major Cornwall Legh and the ion. Wilbraham Egerton, now representing the northern division, are spoken of as likely to migrate to Mid-Cheshire. Two new men would, therefore, be required for the Eastern division. Mi. E. C. Egerton, now M.P. for Macclesfield, has been mentioned as one of them, but it is stated that the hon. gentleman declines to leave the constituency which has honoured him with its confidence during the past sixteen years. Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen has declined to leave Sand wich for the purpose of contesting East Kent in the Liberal interest. As, however, the heads of the party had determined not to allow Mr. Leigh Pemberton to walk over the course, Mr. Henry Tufton, a son of Sir Richard Tufton, and " a good and thorough Liberal," has been introduced to the constituency and accepted as a candidate. Mr. Tufton has issued an address, in which he avows himself a follower of Mr. Gladstone, and prepared to accept any measure which the right hon. gentleman might intro duce on the Irish question. He is favourable to the aboli tion of university tests and to the establishment of county financial boards. Sir E. Dering, M.P., was present at the meeting at which Mr. Tufton was introduced, and ex pressed his entire approval of the choice of the Libera' party. " THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD."—The Teiegrapt. has been roused into indignation by an article entitled " The Girl of the Period," which appeared in the Saturday Review. Our daily contemporary has come to the conclu sion that the Saturday Review, being obliged to slander somebody, and having no one else to revile, it has pre sumed to criticise the ladies of England, and to pronounce them, with few exceptions, immodest, mercenary, false, indelicate, and utterly fallen off from the preciotis standard of the Georgian era. The picture drawn by the reviewer is so black that the Telegraph is compelled to ask in what kind of domestic and social circles could such a creature have moved. He must at some time or other have known something of English women. He must have had a mother, for example ; he may have had sisters, female cousins, aunts, even friends of the other sex ; though, as to the latter, it seems next to impossible for him to have been grasped in " friendship" by the hand of an "Eng lish lady." He can know nothing of our sweet and gentle and honourable English ladies, who, as a class, were never worthier of reverent love and proud praise than they are to-day. He is bold enough to write, " Let us have it real, if we must only have one kind of thing ; and the queens of St.: John's Wood, in their unblushing honesty, rather than their imitators and make-believes in Bayswater and Belgravia." After that admission the Telegraph would not insult the millions of good, true-hearted maidens against whose name this wicked libel has been launched, by defending them against it. Their calumniator is best answered by the fact that they know nothing about him. A POINT OF COMMERCIAL LAW. Vice- Ulan eellor Molina has had before him a claim by a gentleman named Swann, against the estate of Overend, Gurney, and Co., for the sum of £26,545, under the following circum stances. A Mr. Cattley, carrying on business as hemp and flax merchant in St. Petersburg, received orders from Mr. Swann, a Scotch merchant, for a certain quantity of hemp, which he had paid for by bills drawn by Cattley on, and accepted by him, Swann. Cattley, however, used to hand these bills over to Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., and used himself to draw on that firm for the amount required, which bills they accepted on payment of it per cent. commission. At the time of the failure of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. ,Swann had paid Cattley in the usual way for a large quantity of flax, and Cattley had drawn certain bills to the amount of £26,515, which had been accepted in the usual way by Messrs. Overend and Co. before their failure. In this state of things Mr. Swann went to Cattley's agents in London, Messrs. Drake and Co., and proposed to pay the bills accepted by Messrs. Overend and Co., in order to save Cattley, or rather the flax, which in the event of Cattley's failure, would, according to Russian law, have been liable for the debts. Messrs. Drake refused to allow the pay ment to be made until the bills were dishonoured ; but so soon as the bills were dishonoured, Mr. Swaim took them for the honour of the drawer, and sought to prove for the amount agah. st the estate of Messrs. Overend and Co. ; but this claim was resisted by the liquidators on the ground that, according to English law, a person who takes up a dishonoured accommodation bill for the honour of the drawer can have no better title than that of the drawer ; and that therefore, in this case, there .being cross accounts between Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. and Mr. Cattley, Mr. Swann's claim must be limited to the balance due, if any, to Cattley from Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. The Vice-Chancellor held that the claim must be admitted with-coats- • • SHARE LlST.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. 11 and Exeter Caledonian Cambrian.

The attempt to deal with a qaestion of so much importance by an abstract resolution of the house does not meet with the approval of several 1 ading members of the Liberal party, and considerable difficulty has been experienced in deciding upon its precise terms. While on the one hand it may be considered inconvenient to take the sense of the House on an abstract resolution, it will be contended on the other that the last session of a tnoribued Parliament is not fit to deal with such a question, and that the whole subject ought to be remitted to the consideration of a Par liament elected upon a broader baSis of the English Re form Acts of last session and the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills to be passed during the present session. Such is the Ministerial argument in the mattor.—Observer. ANOTHER FENIAN CAP2UI?E. BOW-STREET—Tins DAY. This day Edward Mohen, but whose real name is Naugham, was placed at the bar before Sir Thomas Henry on a charge of treason felony. Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Crown to prooecute, and Mr. M'Donald defended the pri soner. ➢ir. Poland said be should have given some addi tional evidence to-day, but the offence being com mitted some time ago, he had some difficulty in getting the witnesses together. lie would go as far as he could, but he was afraid he should have to ask for a remand. The first witness called was— Richard Macarthy, who said—l am a sapper in the Royal Engineers, stationed at Chatham. I know the prisoner. I first saw him in November, 1865, in Woolwich. I knew him there as Peter Mohan. I was introduced to him by a man named Thompson, who went by the aliases of Sinclair, Williams R. Pilsworth, the latter b,ing, I believe, the proper name. Thompson was a civilian, and 1 was introduced to him by a marine in a publichouse in George-street, Woolwich. It was a mouth after that that I was introduced to the prisoner. I was then in the Military Train. I took the Fenian oath. Thomson administered it to me. Mr. Poland—State the purport of the oath. Mr. ikl'llonald objected to the question. Sir T. Henry decided that the witness could answer it. Witness—lt was to assist in the establishing a Republic in Ireland, and to take up arms when re quired to do so. Sir T. Henry—When and where was the oath administered ? Witness—At the beer-shop I have mentioned, and in the month of October. In about a month after that Thomson introduced me to the prisoner as a prominent member of the Fenian Brotherhood. I met the prisoner at the Duke of Wellington public-house ; he was rather late in arriving, where he said he had been detained at Aldershot, when he nearly got into a scrape. Mr. Poland—What did the prisoner ask you ,o do ? Witness—To get as many men as I could to join the Fenian Brotherhood. I afterwards went with Malony, two or three artillerymen, some of the Military Train ; about 4or 5. The publichouse I speak of was in Wellington-street, Woolwich. Thomson arrived first, the prisoner did not come until half an hour behind his time. 'Thomson, the prisoner Malony, and myself went out of the public house and took a walk in the street for about a quarter of a mile, during which the prisoner said he had some news from America, and that he expected that by the New-year everything would be right in Ireland. Itie shall continue the report in our late edition MARKETS—(This Day.) -40-- COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. SUGAR —Both raw and refined sugars continue firm, and a steady demand prevails. COFFEE is firm, and transactions in both native and plantation Ceylon have taken place at firm rates. TEA—The market is steady with a fair inquiry. Ittcr.—Only a limited inquiry prevails. SALTPETRE.—BengaI is steady, at 19s 6d to 19s 9d per cwt. for good quality on the spot, and 20s 6d for arrival. HEMP. —Clean St. Petersburg, £2B lOs ; Manilla, com mon, £43 to £44 ; roping, good quality, £4B. CORN. The trade in its general features is quiet, but with less of a drooping tendency in prices. The country markets continue dull at late rates. From the Continent the reports do not quote any im portant change. The attendance at Mark-lane to-day was moderate, and :he general demand slow. English wheat in small supply and held for late rates, which are not freely paid. Foreign wheat not in heavy supply, and pressure to sell, but the trade dull at late rates. Flour moved off slowly at later quotations. Barley fairly supported. Beans and peas steady. NENVGATE AND LEADENIIA.LL.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of stock to-day was shorter than on Mon day last, and salesmen opened by asking stiffer prices but the dull trade at Newgate and Loadonhall renders buyers cautious and checked the advance. Of beasts there were 533 from Scotland, 2,171 from the various grazing grounds of England, 116 from Ireland, and 440 from abroad. The demand for beef was for some time active, but closed dull, prices firm. Of sheep the supplies include 4,600 from abroad. The demand was steady, and prices tended upwards. The number of calves on offer was 9G, of which 91 were foreign. The veal trade was brisk, and rates very firm. Pork brought stiffer prices. Total at market—Beasts, 3,260 ; sheep, 24,730 ; calves 90 ; pigs, 340. Quotations per stone of Blbs. sinking the offal—Beet 3s 4d to 5s ; mutton, 3s 4s to 5s 4d ; veal, 3s 4d to 6s pork, 3s to 3s 4d.

Miss BATEmAN.--This lady's engagement at the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, which has been a most gratifying success throughout, was concluded on Frid.ty night last. The bill of faro consisted of " Macbeth" and the two last acts of "Leah." The promise of two such performances could not fail to draw a large house, nor did it. All parts of the theatre were crowded. There was con siderable interest attached to Miss Bateman's Lady Macbeth, as this was the first time that she has appeared in that character in Glasgow. She exhibited throughout a tolerably just and correct appreciation of the masculine and wily consort of the usurper ; but it was in the mid night scene, where, in a fit of somnambulism, she reveals the workings of remorse, that she math, the greatest hit. Her got-up and whole manner of acting in this very arduous and double part was superb. Never, in fact, have we seen her rendering of this passage equalled.—Glasgow Herald. WHAT ARE TILE " TIMES"' REPORTERS ABOUT? asks the Spectator— our contemporary adding thereupon in ex planation of this inquiry—half the best touches in Mr. Disraeli's speech of Monday are spoiled in its version of it. Mr. Gladstone's "dangerous candour" appears as his generous candour the young Mcanius of the hour" (Mr. Gladstone) appears as "the young Ascanius here ;" the House of Lords' "perfection of demeanour" appears as " perfection of manner." Mr. Bright "confesses" " the principle of endowment" instead of "contesting" it, and there are other blunders which maul Mr. Disraeli's epi grammatic sentences. It is the least accurate, we think of any of the principal reports of his speech, instead of the most so. A contractors' trial of the engines of the double screw steam gunvessel Lapwing, 2, took place out side Plymouth Sound on Friday. She is 663 tons burden, and belongs to the new class, of which there are eight vessels, and was constructed at Devonport. Four of them are having their ma chinery manufactured by the Messrs. Rennie ; the Lapwing is the first of the four tried, and she is supplied with two pair of engines to work her two propellers. The trials took place under the super intendence of Captain George 0. Willes, C. 8., of the Steam Reserve, assisted by Mr. William Diunen, Chief Inspector of Machinery afloat, and by Mr. Robert Nicoll, of the Keyham factory. Mr. G. B. Rennie was present on the part of the contractors. The mean of six runs, at full power, gave a speed of 10.16 knots at a mean number of 116 revolu- tions per minute, the mean pres sure in boiler being 261 b. The vauum 25in., giving an indicated power of 830 horses, b e i ng fi ve t i mes t h e nom i na l power . These engines are of the ordinary type, without surface condensers or superheaters, and were tried under the regulations recently issued by the Ad miralty.
