W. Willcoks, Esq., Treasurer, seconded by E. J. Thompson, Esq., and resolved unanimously, "That this Committee expresses its admiration of the kindly and liberal spirit in which the deputations from its members have been received by her Majesty's Government, represented in the former case by the Right Hon. Ben jamin Disraeli, now the First Lord of the Treasury, and afterwards by the Right lion. Ward Hunt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the eatisfactory way in which the re presentations of the deputation were received, and so libe rally responded to on the part of the Government on the Bth inst., which liberality they feel assured is not only ap preciated by the Committee and those locally familiar with the facts of the case, but they believe will be as highly appreciated by all classes of her Majesty's loyal subjects."

The House of Lords is determined to bear out its character for hard work which it has gained this year, and yesterday it far surpassed the Commons, which only met to be counted out. The return of the army from Abyssinia was the first topic under consideration, and Lord ELLENBOROUGII drew the attention of the Government to it. He declared that they ought to be received with full military honours, as he saw no precedent for their achieve ments in modern history. There has been no mountain campaign comparable with that in Abys sinia since the passage of the Alps by HANNIBAL. We all know that the noble earl can make any cause appear to advantage, and the deeds of our army in Abyssinia may well inspire eloquence, but still he went rather far when he affirmed that the first of all professions is that of a soldier, and the first of all rewards is military honour. Lord MALMESBURY emphatically observed that there was no man in that house who could doubt that the noble earl was a fit judge of military honour, and many circumstances had conduced to impart to him that knowledge. He had himself been mixed up in the highest honours, besides observing their effects on the soldiers' mind. However, the noble earl considered that the propo sal which had been made was not a feasible one. Her MAJESTY'S Government have not, as yet, con sidered the matter over, and therefore an indefinite answer w as given ; but the Duke of CAMBRIDGE made some observations, declaring that-he was most anxious to render the greatest honour to the gallant troops referred to, but that it would be impossible to carry out the scheme for various reasons. The troops will arrive at different periods. Lord LYVEDEN suggested one difficulty, inasmuch as p art of the troops returned to India, but the only dis sonant element introduced was in the speech of Ear l GREY, «ho was most unnecessarily captious about the whole affair, and particularly objected to anything of the kind being stated in debate. Th,.re could be no possible harm in Lord ELLENBOROUGII making the suggestion, and it did not involve the Govern ment in any way. In many respects it would be, no doubt, desirable to go out of the way, in order to show that we fully appreciate the services ren dered by our gallant forces, and the public will THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1868. rejoice if precedent can be waived for once and an exception made in favour of their merits ; but if it be found impossible to do so, or at least inexpedient, it can but conduce to the satisfaction of Sir ROBERT NAPIER and his followers to know that they have been deemed worthy of the privilege by many high authorities. The Marquis of SALISBURY put a question, pur suant to notice, respecting the new Law Courts. The purport of these observations was to set forth the claims of Mr. BARRY before those of Mr. STREET, while Mr. BARRY'S was considered the best one for the plan of the interior. The LORD CHANCELLOR, as President over the Committee for the building of the new Law Courts, answered the noble Marquis, and said that he was very glad that the subject had been brought forward, because a good deal of mis apprehension existel out of doors i❑ respect to it. The fact was that the Government hal not either rejected or accepted any design, and the Commis sioners settled that there should not be unlimited competition among the architects, but that six or eight should be chosen for the purpose of comp2ti- tion, and at last the number was raised to eleven. The Judges of Design were appointed by the Trea sury, and were five in number. By the terms of the arrangement, the plans submitted became the property of the Commission, whether accepted or not, and each competitor received a certain sum as some compensation for the time and pains bestowed upon their labours. In consequence of this it will be seen that the judges were not bound to give any one competitor the credit of having his particular design selected. The object was rather to test the relative merits of the different plans, without pledging the Government to select a particular design and erect the Courts according to that de sign. It was conceived that it might very well be that various useful hints might be taken from the different designs, and the judges were to decide which of their authors showed the greatest skill and capacity for the superintendence of the erection of the new Law Courts. The judges were not, however, able to say which of the competing architects was the m )st successful, and then seat in their award to the Treasury, with the intimation that putting their designs together that of Mr. STREET was best for the " external elevation," and that of Mr. BARRY for the intern.. arrangements. Further communications only resulted in the judges adher ing to their previous opinion on the matter. At last it was settled by the Attorney-General that the award was invalid. The Government had then to decide, and they appear to have done so in a wise manner after much &liberation. It must be borne in mind at the same time that another judgment respecting the National Gallery hal declared that Mr. BARRY'S plan was of the greatest architectural merit. It was than settled that Mr. BARRY should have the superin- - tendence of the erection of the National Gallery, and Mr. STREET that of the law Courts. On the whole, it may be said that the matter has been arranged as well as possible ; and one thing is certain, that every one could not be satisfied. It was not likely that Mr. BARRY would be contented with the erection of two public buildings, and, in some respects, the Government had increased advantages in getting out of the dilemma into which the decision of the judges had placed them. It may be added, that there ie al- ways more awkwardness created when the case is reduced to two competitors than when there are more. Some conversation ensued, after the Lord Chancellor's explanation, which amounted to little. In the course of the evening the Duke of ARGYLL took a very long time in dwelling on a recommendation which was before the House, in respect to the rights of the Crown on the subject of the foreshores and the bed of the sea. The chief point was that this memorandum had been presented to Parliament without a signature. The Dake of RICHMOND, however, explained that he took the responsibility of it upon hinass:lf, and as for it being on the table of the House that arose from the suggestion of a private member of Parliament, the doJument being drawn up for the guidance of those in the office pf the Board of Trade. It cannot be said that there was much in this, but the noble duke contrived to make a great deal of the matter nevertheless. It would seem as if the members of the Government in the House of Lards were now to take their turn, and to be called to account for all that offends the taste and militates against the prejudices of their opponents. Among all the excitements of the present Session tho political achievements of 1866-67 have been almost forgotten, and accordingly we find the chief speakers at the Lewes Conservative Association very busy i❑ going over the records of that eventful period. There are many reasons for anxiety and perplexity now, but last year the horizon was a good deal darker. Mr. BROWNRIGG, who seconded a resolution at Thursday's meeting iu favour of the present Government, went over the story of the last two years. Little, he said, was done during the Session of 1866, except grumbling. There were not wanting signs of the coming storm. During the recess—the autumn and winter of the year—the country spoke out more plainly. Monster meetings were held, processions organised, revolu tionary speeches made, and fierce invectives hurled against Ministers. At that time, as Mr. BROWNRIGG reminded his hearers, the effects of the severe commercial panic were still sensibly felt, the corn market was rising, the cattle plague on the increase, the Fenian conspiracy become more troublesome, and our relations with America such rs gave rise to some uneasiness. Under all these dis Advantages, and in face of all these obstacles, the Ministry of Lord DERBY set themselves to deal with the most perplexing political problem of the day ; and, what is more, they did deal with it suc cessfully. It was won in the teeth of a most fac- tious opposition according to Mr. BROWNRIGG ; but at any rate no one can deny that the difficulties in the way were very considerable, and many theorists had tried their hands at reforming Parlia ment, and there were countless critios ready to censure and denounce any plan but their own. There were the vested interests of boroughs that feared disfranchisement, and members who dreaded losing their seats. There were the loud profes sors of Reform principles, who objected to the loss of their hustings and public meeeing " plat form." There were the agitators, who, from inte rest or love of excitement, had been busy stirring up the people, and who disliked to find their occu pation gone. The pretended friends of Reform were altogether a formidable faction, and if we add to them the large party who, though really desirous of achieving the end, were averse to its being sJt sled by a Conservative Administration, we shall find that they constitute a powerful host. Oa the other hind, the Reformers de facto had to , contend again,t a large section of their own followers, who objected to any considerable change in the constituencies to a large reduction of t' 2e franchise, or to any other of those steps which it was impera tively necessary for any one who moant to settle the question of Representative Reform, even tem porarily, to take. There are not wautim g now, as Mr. BROWNRIGG observed, those who object to many portions of the Reform Bill, and qui .stion its wisdom, but it is fair to ask them what would have been the state of the public mind if the settlement of the question had been again postponed, and the people had felt themselves unfairly dealt with. No change of the kind can be really judged until it is put to the practical test of experience, and we are likely before long to see the Reform Bill of 1867 submitted to this ordeal. It is an encou; raging proof of the increasing interest which our working men are taking in the politics of the day to find them, as we are now doing, present in good numbers at most of these provincial gatherings• By joining with the classes above them in these general assemblies they will lose that violent and arbitrary tone which they are apt to catch from their more Democratic leaders, and will gain in poli tical weight while they gain in experience. The Radicals in Washington being disappointed in their efforts to obtain the command of the White House, and to retain their waning influence through out the State Legislatures, have turned their atten tion to a new quarter. The Board of Aldermen at Washington has become the scene of their struggles for ascendancy, and it is amusing to find the excite ment hitherto shown about the Presidential con test or the reconstruction of the Southern States now prevailing on a purely municipal question. Several members of the board of aldermen at Washington have denied the legality of each other's elections. As might be expected the Radical re gistrar refused to recognise the claims of the Demo cratic disputants, while he declared the Radical candidates to be duly elected. It is this system which the Radicals carry into everything. No position which carries with it any degree of influence or authority is beneath their notice, none too high for their ambition ; and, we may add, no means are too desperate for them to attain their objects. By continuing generally to secure minor official places, such as that of registrars and clerks to public offices, the Radicals aro able to take advantage of any technical obstacles which can ' be put in the way against their opponents. It will be remembered that great difficulties have been put in the way of the Democratic mem bers in Congress by the officials, and very often their plans have been completely frustrated by the collusion between the Radical members and the temporary authority. Out of doors, however, it is not so easy to carry everything their own way. Great excitement, we are told, existed in the capi tal respecting this affair of the Aldermen, and it was feared that a riot would take place. On the 10th the Radical Alderman took forcible possession of the Councilmen's Chamber, so that we shall soon see the anarchy which has long existed in political circles prevailing over the social affairs of the city. The division between Radical and Democrat is so wile at the present moment that it overrides every other considera tion, and the near approach of the Presidential contest intensifies every party feeling. Oue of the Republican Senators who had courage to vote against his party has not suffered for his in dependence, but his was one of the few seats con fidently regarded as secure. Senator SPRAGUE, son in-law of Mr. Justice CHASE, has been re-elected for Rhode Island ; and we hope that the:rest of the Senators, whose independent integrity turned the scale, will be equally fortunate.

We can but sit about on the shady side of the Champs Elysdes, eating ices, at least those of us who have not yet been so fortunate as to get awa y , We have, however, had one incident that caused some excitement, even in spite .of the roasting weather. At the Champs Elys6es concert, one finning this week, the Princess Metternich, wife of the Austrian Ambassador, and the Marquise de Pourtal4s, who are the ringleaders of the courtes-robes heretics, made their appearance in costumes so extrava gantly outrageous that the laughter which these granges dames excited fairly drove them away. The Princess had upon her head a black Japanese hat, with a profusion of flowers in it, and with jet fastenings, and an enor mous lace cravat, and a mountain of a chignon. While there was so much superfluous clothing at one extremity, there was a deficiency at the other. The dresses of both ladies were ludicrously short, and revealed boots that would have outrivalled a Magyar's. The Princess's dress was of muslin, with innumerable flounces, looped up with lilac festoons. The Marchioness's was a blue skirt, with a brilliant yellow tunic, yellower than a field of buttercups. You may fancy the commotion this apparition caused among people with whom dress is one of the most serious concerns of life. New journals are springing up like mushrooms on all sides, and some of them will certainly have an existence of only mushroom duration. A most amusing revelation has just been made of the shifts to which some new journals resort in order to get up a circulation. Some months ago a paper called La _Rue was started ; but " the Street " would not go off in the streets at all, until one day it contained an account of a duel which was reported to have occurred between one of its contributors, Stamir, a Pole, and an ex-Zouave in the Papal army. As the reported duel arose out of the Garibaldian invasion it attracted some attention, and for a short time La Rue was in dethand. Recently, Stamir has had a quarrel with the editor Valles, and he has now made known to the world that the whole story was a fiction. It appears that when M. Valles found his paper would not go off he said to Stamir "My dear friend, you are always a friend of Valles when he wants you to serve him. Canards do not succeed. I have, however, found out a way to force it into sale." " What is your combination ?" said Stau•ir. " Why, you must fight a duel." " With whom am Ito have the honour of crossing swords ?" " With nobody." " liow ! a duel and no ad versary !" Stamir replied, looked fixedly at his chief editor. "You must fight, though you have no adversary." " I thought Valles was mad (adds Stamir), but I was mis taken, for I found he was never more in his senses. Sure of my silence, he chose me for his accomplice, and out of my devotedness to him I fell into the snare. To aid this poor confrere was for me a duty ; to hesitate for a moment would be to drive to despair the wretched man. I allowed myself to be convinced. The article appeared ; Valles took a part in the composition ; notes written by Valles were sent round to the other papers, and at last La Rue had a sale ! lie was right ; the mystification produced its effect. The day that the pretended duel came off Valles was waiting fir me in the office. Il aye just fought my duel,' I cried out on entering, as had been previously arranged between us. `lndeed !' he replied; 'let me have paper. Send the news to the other journals. Give me the name of yi or adversary, and then of his seconds and yours.' I dictated to him the same names which he him self had invented the day before. The same evening two papers, the F. faro and the Lilicrte, spoke of the famous duel, and the day folluwing the other journals commentel upon it, giving particulars of the combat, according to the instructions of Valles. Viscount de Cecconia had, they said, been very seriously wounded by me in the duel. The noise made by my victory was great, but not sufficiently so for Valles, as a few days afterwards he had the stupidity to fabricate a letter which he caused to be brought to me one evening by a commissionaire, and in which the death of my adversary was announced." Sad to say, though the device succeeded for a time, it was only for a very short time, and La Rue has long since been extinct. There are fresh rumours of Ministerial changes to-day. It is said that M. Rouher, grateful for the assistance which he has received from M. Emile 011ivier, in the discussion with the redoubtable Protectionist, M. Pouyer-Quertier, wishes to introduce the former into the Cabinet, and that General Fleury also will join it. I do not suppose that there is much truth in these reports. But it is cer tain that the Emperor is very angry at the attacks of M. Pouyer Quertier, and that the Government will put forth all its efforts to prevent his re-election at Rouen, though probably in vain. Busson-Billaut's report on the Budget contains some important information, and one satisfactory item is that Marshal. Niel explained to the Budget Commission that his warlike armaments were of a peaceful character. Berlin latcrs tell us that arrangements have been made Lo fill the vacancy caused by Bismarck's temporary retire- ment. He will be replaced at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Herr Thile, hitherto secretary to that depar :neut. At the presidency of the Council he will be succeeded by Baron Von der Heydt, Minister of Finance, and, when this Minister takes his holiday, by General Von noon. Herr Von Friessen, the Saxon Minister, ill act as President of the Federal Council. All matters ac cording to the Federal Constitution, involve minis t.eilai responsibility, and to that extent the responsibility of the Federal Chancellor, Bismarck will reserve for his wn signature. The arrangements for the marriage of the Crown Prince of Dolma' k are completed. The Princess - Louise of Sweden will bring her husband a dowry of 25,000,000 fix dollars (E 1,400,000). At present the Salle law prevails :n Sweden, and therefore the Princess (the only child of Xing Charles) cannot succeed him. It is hoped, however, that the law may be set aside, and some such arrangement made, perhaps as whenyour Queen Mary 11. and her husband :le Prince of Orange reigned jointly. The King of Sweden 13 just about to go to Jutland to witness the manoeuvres of he Danish flea. There seems to be a strong desire to ,trengthen the Scandinavian union ; and it is in cense. ,nence of this desire that the Crown Prince consents to a marriage which is not the one that his affections would ave dictated. The special correspondent of the Telegraph at Vienna professes to have received private information which he ir at present precluded from making public, confirming the that the murder of Prince Michael Obrenovich was an act instigated by political ambition, whetted on the grindstone of some vendetta. The faction, however, that .:Peculated in the outbreak did not elicit that response on which they counted, and it is the opinion of the writer that the specu7a,tors in the Kara-Georgevich restoration are vir tually out of the field. As their chance diminishes so does that of yc.urg Milan Obrenovich gain ground. Already a large part of the army has declared .in his fav our , th e town of Belgrade is ra n ged under his banner, and declara tions of adhesion to his cause are pouring in from the communes of the interior. Should he be elected, his nomi nation will be confirmed by the guaranteeing Powers ; and the Princess Julia Obrenovich, relict of the murdered Prince, will Le named a member of the Regency by which Servia, will be governed until he shall attain his majority. Whether the Principality enjoy peace or be convulsed with civil war during that regency would depend upon the constitution of the ruling authority. If Marino vich and Milivoi should, by the will of the nation, be asso ciated with Julia de Hunyady during the minority of Milan, things would prol.ably go smoothly enough ; but if „hey should be kept out of the - regency Europe must look out for squalls. The Telegraph correspondent adds, that the candidature of Prince Carol is now out of the question, as the confirmation of the Skuptschina's election by the Great Powers will only he accorded to a nominee native of Servia. That the patriot Garaschianin should enter the lists against Milan for the Hospodariat is deemed im probable. He will in all likelihood throw his influence into the scale on the lad's behalf. It will be remembered that about two months ago a inet;on was carried in the North German Parliament declaring that the officers who had the management of the debt of the Lund should be held personally responsible to the Parliament for its application. This irritated Count Bismarck to such a degree that he at once gave up the loan of twenty millions of thalers already voted for the navy, ordered great retrenchment in every branch of the naval service, and postponed sine die the construction of addi tional ships, as also of coast defences. The clever Minister knew with whom he had to deal, and this measure of his as now had the effect which he foresaw. If there is one thing on which the North Germans are agreed, it is in creating a German fleet, with the harbours and naval eitablishments necessary for its maintenance. There .`ore, as soon as the Parliament met again after its brief prorogation, an agreement was privately accepted by parties, and it is now pretty well decided that the loan shall be raised, and that its application is to be under the responsibility of the Prussian Government. We learn, further, that in consequence of recent experiments Ate Prussian Government has decided to build no iron ships, but to have wooden ships strongly defended. The Owl appears to have been misinformed when -dated that the Lord Chief Baron would, as vacation judge at chambers, have the nomination of the additional revis• iog barristers contemplated by the new registratior. measure, and that although the bill had not yet become law, there were some 230 applicants in the field. The Law Journal declares that if 230 barristers have arplied to the Lord Chief Baron their labour is vain, inasinuel as Mr. Ju ILumen wi . ll . and" IVA 'ittcatiVi) MR. BARRY AND MR. STREET. The Express hears that the decision respecting the new law courts is not to pass unchallenged. Mr. E. M. Barry's protest will, it is rumoured, be followed by an appli cation to have the whole matter referred to a Select committee of the house. A tabular abstract has been prepared of the points of excellence awarded to each com petitor by the professional judges of the designs (Messrs. Shaw and Pownall), which, if it can be taken as correct, places the relative merits of the several architects in somewhat striking juxtaposition. In this return Mr. Parry's merits are represented by the figures 41, Mr. Scott's by 25, and every ono else, far behindhand in the race. Mr. Lockwood has 9 points in his favour, Mr. Waterhouse 6, Mr. Borges 5, and Mr. Street, against whose appoint ment by the Government Mr. Barry protests, 8. The par ticulars by whieh these result are arrived at are spe cifically given in each case, "General Subjects," "Law Courts," "Judges' Chamber," and "other suites of offices," all having their special works. Under the heading "Law Courts," Mr. Barry is represented as having 17 marks and Mr. Street one, while "other suites of offices" gives Mr. Barry 11 and Mr. Street 2 separate units. Wo cannot pretend to go into these figures, or to vouch for them in any way ; nor is this necessary, as the public is evidently doomed to long professional disquisi tions on the subject. The point raised is, sofar as we understand it, that according to the terms of the contract entered into between the Government and the competing architects, Mr. Barry is entitled to the prize, and that the award to his friend end rival, Mr. Street, is a distinct breach of covenant. The aggrieved candidate is, moreover, caret al to express his confidence in Mr. Street's ability to design and erect a building worthy of the nation, and takes his stand solely upon what he conceives to be his right. Altogether it seems as if the House of Commons would be called upon to arbitrate in a matter it is eminently unqua lified to decide. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. BRISTOL ELECTION C0.11,14177EE. (Tuts DAY.) The select committee to try the merits of the petition presented against the return of Mr. Miles re-assembled to-day in Room No. 11. The principal witness examined was a person named Smal!comb, and he detailed certain proceed ings on the part of Mr. Allsopp, one, of the active supporters of the sitting member, to prove the allegations in the petition of bribery and treating. In cross-examination by Mr. Giffard for the sitting member, he admitted that he had had a private conversation with Mr. Dowger, which, to his surprise, he had heard repeated in that lie coul I not account for such a thing without coming to the conclusion that there was reason in the camp. room.

Barometrical pressures on our western coasts are less this morning icy about a quarter of au inch : at other stations the diminution has been ,marcr, and pressures in the S.W. have recovered themselves since last evening. Readings are rather uniform : the difference between Aberdeen and Cape Clear is three-tenths of au inch. Tem rerature in south-eastern districts has risen : in Scotland the weather is a little cooler. The easterly winds increased yesterday to the force of a gale at the entrance of the English Channel, but light and vari able winds are reported this morning. Much mist prevails iu the N. Thunder and lightning are reported from the south coasts. The sky is generally overcast. A little rain has fallen in the south of Ireland. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post refers to the prevalent rumours respecting an intended movement in Italy against the present regime. It is said that Ex-King Francis's proclamation is ready for distribution. But the correspondent holds that Francis is not the man to make a dash for a lost throne. He is perpetually surrounded by adventurers who, under the pretence of assisting him to recover his crown, spend his money, and thus the Bourbon family, which after its fall was rich, is now poor. Until the present Cabinet came into office, the friends of Italy were dismayed, for each Ministry seemed to vie with its predecessor in adding fresh piles to the huge structure of debt. But now confidence is restored, and neither the Bourbonists nor the Garibaldians are likely to give more than a little passing trouble. The Post is far more san guine in thin maLLer than most of its contemporaries. Even the Paris Liberal journals admit that serious discon tent prevails in Naples and Sicily, and the large number of arrests in Ravenna indicates a serious state of affairs. The Daily News analyses the changes which have been made by the Reform Acts in England and Wales, and pro phesies that the Liberal majority will be one of a very (haled character. It is somewhat remarkable that the balance of party should have been so evenly maintained in making these changes, for of the 87 hon. gentlemen who have a personal interest in the alterations, 44 are Conservatives, and 43 are Liberals. It is impossible to reckon with certainty on the gains and losses to both parties, but our contemporary believes that the Liberals will gain seats in many of the new boroughs, besides many given to the minorities, and there is little doubt which way the Roman Catholic priests will influence their flocks. The action brought by Risk Allah against the Daily Telegraph is made the subject of leaders in the Times, the Daily News, the Star, - Adeertiser, and the Telegraph itself. The last-named journal contends that it has been defend ing not merely it own interests, but the interests of the English press, which is vitally concerned in knowing how far sincere and disinterested comments upon a public trial and upon the personal reputations at stake may be s::fely made and successfully indicated. The Telegraph yields to the penalty imposed the willing and ready sub mission of those whose duty it is to uphold the dignity and authority of the " Queen's justice." It will set no example of complaint or protest. "Ifit be said that it is easy for the strong to be patient, at least patience well becomes the strong ; and since, in this great court of English justice, a jury of our countrymen— so charged by the chief personage on the bench—have delivered it as their opinion that we deserve to pay £960 for the crime of publishing certain views of the character of Risk Allah Bey, which he has established as inaccurate, the Daily Telegraph will submit. But while it submits—with out the slightest inclination to disparage the source of judgment—it has no intention, because of that judgment, to swerve from the line which it has long traced for itself, of fearless and conscientious fidelity to the public." To that public, as a tribunal of appeal, the Telegraph boldly carries its case, seeking from its great collective opinion, which it at once reflects and aids to form,' the verdict which must bind its moral sense as well as enforce its obedience. The Times says it is evident that the letters from Brussels were in the worst posSible taste ; but after the proofs of recklessness which the Lord Chief Justice pointed out, they were shown to be positively disgraceful. The letters certainly conveyed the imputation that the prisoner was guilty ; but the incident proves how desirable it is that judicial proceedings should be soberly and accu rately reported, and without any rhetorical gambols. The lesson the Tints draws from the case is, that it is, on the whole, best to accept the verdict of juries in criminal cases when that verdict is an acquittal of the accused person. To the Daily News it appears that the grave question for the jury to consider was whether the implications and insinuations conveyed in the letters and article in the Daily Telegraph went beyond the limits of fair criticism upon a still pending trial. Were they calculated to lessen the chances of the accused or to otherwise impede the course of justice ? The verdict seems to the Daily Yews in accordance with the evidence, and a corol lary to the Lord Chief Justic:,'s summing up; and, what ever may be the moral judgment formed on the case, few, it thinks, will be disposed to quarrel with the legal prin. 2iple it lays down. The Morning Star regards the trial as one of the greatest and most instructive causes which have ever elucidated the 1:lw of libel. The verdict must commend itself even to the defendant, for, read coolly and in presence of a jury. there could be no question the letters and the leader expressed more than a doubt of the unspotted purity of the plaintiff's character. The only possible defence was to attempt to prove justification, and that unquestionably failed. l'hc Star hopes no one will adopt the notion that the liberty of the press has been infringed. The limits of rm lie discussion have not been curtailed, the law has not been stretched, and the jury have hit a fair medium of damages, which are at once substantial and not highly penal. "As for the Daily Telegraph, it rejoices in a new sensation both for itself and its readers, and probably returns sincere thanks to Risk Allah Bey for bringing it before the courts and the public." The Advertiser lays great stress upon the fact that the Telegraph, when certain defects in the letter of the Brussels correspondent and certain prejudicial tendencies of their editorial comment were pointed out, inserted an apology in their columns to the extent to which they believed it to be deserved. Risk Allah would have been better advised if he had accepted the apology and not press( d his case to an issue which, though it has resulted in his favour, has recalled a history that might as well have been coxixiittul tQ. 9Uvion N.E.

Mr. Turner said that a cat jumped up at a cag(l t containing a favourite bird and killed it, and Hewett cut the cat's tail off in three operations- Mr. Paget—How was that done ? Mr. Turner said that Hewett cut a small portio° of the tail off, and some time afterwards took anothe r joint away with a knife, and on a third operatio n cut off the remainder of the tail.

FRESH VEGETABLES IN TIIE MORNlNG.—josep h Monroe, a lad about seventeen years of age, vls" e brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing potatoes from a cart in the East India Dock-road. Police sergeant llolston, No. 26 K, saw the pri" soner following a market gardener's cart, in th e East India Dock-road at three o'clock this morning. The prisoner took new potatoes outof a sieve at the back of the cart, and filled his pockets with theta. Holston pounced upon him and discovered 25 P c " tatoes in his pockets. The prisoner, a ruddy-faced, stout lad, said he was starving. Mr. Paget—You do not look like a starving PO' son, but the contrary. The prisoner assured the magistrate he was i x/ want of food. He was formerly employed at the Ironworks. He had been out of svor l4 some time. Holston said the market gardeners' carts had been extensively plundered of all descriptions of vege tables lately, greens, cauliflowers, peas, and carrot 4 had been taken out of the carts. Several offenders had been punished. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to 14 dais imprisonment and hard labour. HEALING OF WOUNDS BY LEAD. The Journal des Connaissances Medicales of th ie week contains a paper by Dr. Burggraeve, membe r of the Academy of Medicine of Belgium, on th e new way of dressing wounds by means of a lamin g of lead, of the thickness of about half a millimetr e ' and which therefore can be easily bent by th e fingers, and thus, by pressure, made to assume the form of the injured part. Once applied, it is JUG ( ' by means of strips of adhesive plaster, and once or twice a day irrigations are effected on the limb . Che author of the paper states that one W l ' dred and sixty-five patients out of one bu f3 : - dred and seventy-nine treated at the civic hospital at Ghent for j workshop or railivAl accidents, most of which exceedingly seriouSt were cured without undergoing any operation, th e only course followed being the treatment by le ad above described. The average duration of the caf e was 31 days and a fraction. Only 14, or eight Pe r cent., died, including those who expired a few boa r° after the accident, and who may consequently h e considered as having been mortally wounded. Far the last five years not a single operation has taken place by the knife at the Ghent Hospital in th e cases alluded to. Nature alone performs the cur e ; all the surgeon has to do being merely to second her and avoid the application of irritating topic e ' Wounds by laceration or crushing are less dangeroog in their consequences than those by the knife, th e vessels in the former case being contracted a nd offering less chance of purulent absorption. .00' 50 per cent. of operations by the knife end in death' owing to the general weakness increased by loss blood and by a strict diet. By the lead treatme e the patient is not deprived of his limb, and can o° e it, though in a mutilated state. The lead reins ° 0 in its place for ten or twelve days, without and other trouble but that of making a current of fr esh vater pass between the lamina and the flesh, e t keeping the limb in a bath. Any person, witb ee ., being a surgeon, can learn to apply the lead, 313 ,`; .his system therefore promises to be extrcel e '' iseful on the field of battle, where immediate ang e l ; ,ation, frequently ending in death, may now ,:ntirely abandoned.
