To the Editor.

Siß—On reading the amount of the melancholy
accident near Ltilworth Cove, on Saturday, the 4th
instant, 1 felt that the kind and prompt alaistance
rendered by the Rev. W. Chides, the esteemed
Vicar of Weet Lulworth, ought to be mentioned,
who immediately on the alarm being given hastened
to the scene of the disaster with cordials, and like-
wise went to Warbarrow station to break the sad
news to the bereaved widows, and to comfort and
assist them in every possible way. Of him it may
be truly said in time of need he is the good
Samaritan, extending sympathy equally on all sides.
May he long be spared to labour in a sphere where
he is so much needed.—Yours obediently,

%vatley Berk4ey,
t bisheing r
the

l' cortald °blest _ area "to
a re
that being one o baronies within the
Berkeley and Mr. Grantley Berkeley re-
' the light in which they then stood to
of the most fraternal affection, be had
ltis fins** to the Barony of
louses the point or gist of like tr
creation to • title giving the
. •

sinister of the senior branches. His mother lived long
after this creation to the Seagrove barony ; and, having
come to this clear understanding with Ilia brother, Mr.
Grantley Berkeley would nevertheless appear to have
found no reason to infringe the line of conduct by which
lie was guided as far an concerned his mother's feelings.
When, therefore, some comment' arc offered lit the
pamphlet on the style and title whereby Mr. Grantley
Berkeley addressed his brothers, the explanation is jest
this, that as his mother of course used to Imo the
addresses of all lettere at certain times, and as they
asked him to do so, he gave the title of honorable
to ALL the brothers, with exception of the late
Lord Fitxhardinge, to whom it MIA never given
by him, for the simple resemn that his mother did
not see, nor did that brother complain of, the
addresa. We cannot think the better of the case
sought to be made out in the pamphlet, for its
attempting to lay stress on mere acts of good nature,
such as giving the title of honorable" under circum-
stances like these, and altering Mrs. Berkeley's address
WWI, end twisting then, into an acknowledgment from
Mr. Grantley Berk.dey of his brothers' legitimacy.
The real atate of the ours is too obvious for comment.
He dit these things simply not in her lifetime to hurt
his mother's feelings; and his reward is that they now
turn round upon him, and chatge him with a calumny
on her memory, because the neeeo•ity for this com-
plaisance happens to have ceased, and he is looking to
his own rights.
We have been at some pains to look up the "Recollec-
Bons," and compare them with the 'reply" whith
the Brothers Berkeley have thee put in circulation,
because there exists no little excitement both in
Gloucestershire and Soinersetshire on the subject both
of the book and the pamphlet. It is, And ioust he,
Apparent that there is at hand some approaching
denouement of this peerage question, so often referred
to as a romance of the peerage. The graver points in
the pamphlet we alone have noticed ; for the most
notable or its features are in accordance with its chosen
motto, " foolish" enough to carry their own confu.
ration.
No doubt a very ample reply to this "pamphlet for
private eiroulaton" will appear in the forthcoming
second edition of "My Life and Reminiscences," by
the Hon. Grantley Y. Berkeley. to the previous two
volumes of which the hon. gentleman is about to add,
as we are given to understand in literary circles, a third
volume of very interesting and diversified natter.

feadant's mare, which hs valued at ES, aid £4 to be
paid at Shroton fair. On August 27th the defendant
asked him to take back the mare and colt as the
former was of no use to him. He saw the mare and
found it was " wrong" upon the withers and loins,
and was in very poor condition. He afterwards
agreed to take them back, and twice offered to lend
the defendant a horse, which was refused. The
plaintiff was then summoned for the £l2, which he
had to pay. He afterwards sold the mare and colt
fur £6. They would not fetch more, because of the
ill•treatinent to which the mare had been subjected.
He told the defendant he should make him pay
for the mare. Hia Honor gave judgment for
the defendant, remarking that the case ram the
weakest plaint that was aver brought into a court of
justice.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

MONDAY, —The business transacted was unimportant.
TUESDAY.—The Marquis of Westmeath called atten-
tion to the case of the nun, Mary Ryan, who was forcibly
carried away from Dover to the Continent, and who is
now an inmate of pa lunatic asylum in Belgium. Ile
said be was now in a position to prove that the abduc-
tion of the nun was the result of a conspiracy got up by
a person calling himself the Vicar-General of West-
minster.—Earl Russell said the law officers of the
Crown bad been consulted, and they were of opinion
that the forcible removal of any person out of the
country was an illegal act. It was a practioe unknown
to the law, and open to great abuse. With regard to
the case of Mary Ryan, Her Majesty's Minister at
Brussels bad inquired into it, and reported that she was
at present an inmate of a very welro,nducteel asylum
at Bruges, and she was cuff ring under an acute mania,
which at one time threa•ened her life. As her parents
were dead, and 1121 rt appeared she wan at present will
cared for, it was not considered advisable to remove
her.—The Earl of Malmeabury thought there was no
doubt that Mary Ryan was insane, but that was no
justification for the indifference with which the ease hart
been treated try the Home Secretary. It WAS not
impossible that persons like the snperior of a convent
were ignorant, owing to threr strolusion from the world.
of the law, but it was the duty of the Secretary of
State to teach them what the law really was.—The
subject then dropped.
THURSDAY.—A Bill to assimilate the mode of hearing
criminal and civil trirds was road a second time.—Lorrt
Stratford de Redelife drew attention to the long
pending negotlations with reference to the boundary
line of Turkey and Persia, and asked for information
on the subject —Earl Russell said the subject would
probably be settlet definitively in the course of the
present month.—Lord Ilarrowby called attention to the
working of tire Revised Educational Code in Infant
Schools, but Lord Granville, having stated that the
grievance referred to bad arisen out of a clerical error,
and had now been rectified, the trubject drooped.
FRIDAT.—The Industrial Exhibitions Bill was passed
through committee. The sitting occupied but a quarter
of an hour.

hues QUISTION.

I need scarcely gay how much I was surprised at the
prosperous condition of the peasants of Connemara
after the accounts I had received of them. When I
"surveyed" my own estate, which consists of seven
miles of uninterrupted rock, I regarded with admi-
ration the population who could find the mean.
of subsistenoe upon it, and whose rays were
freqneritly of a very superior quality. I also
felt how creditable it was to the British Govern-
ment that by • judicious system of legislation it should
succeed in keeping people comparatively happy and
contented whoee principal occupation seemed to consist
in trading about the sea-beach looking for sea-weed,
and whose diet was composed of what they found there.

A Iwamoto' oblmg hall, overloaded with decoration in
the most superlative modern Italian style. The walls
disappear under colour and gilding. corpulent Cupids
clamber and gambol over them in all directions, resting
npon arabesques and clinging to garlands, whilst verdant
dragons rear themselves amongst wreaths of roses. The
arched embrasures of the windows which, owing to the
near approach of sediment walls, admit at the brightest
season a subdued light, are profusely gilt and partly
filled with arimson draperies. The decorators were
evidently resolved to leave no plain surface whereon to
rest the eye. Walls and °ening alike are crowded with
figures, flowers, fanciful bordvrs, and elaborate adorn-
ments, until the beholder is denied and bewildered, and
suffers his weary gase to fall upon the floor or to stray
through the the window to the time-stained and
weather-worn walls, balconies, and external staircases
of the unpretending dwellings outside.

I turned the hill, into a glen called Carson's-clench ;
but I never forgot the circumstance, and after I be-
came an old man I visited the very spot as near as
I could remember again and again, thinking that the
reflection of the sun from some pool or lake which I
had not perceived might have caused it—but there
was no such thing. I never mentioned the circum-
stance to any living before, save to Sir David
Brewster, who, of all men I ever met with is the
fondest of investigating everything relating to
Natural Phenomena; he pretended to account for it
by some law of dioptrical refraction which I did not
understand."
No; it is rather obvious that Hogg regarded his
"double shadow" as ominous and awful. Had he
gone however to the haunted spot again and again as
in the case of the visitor of the Brokken spectre, and
at sunrise as before, instead of vainly looking for a
hidden pool or terrestrial reflector, he might
undoubtedly have happened to encounter a
condition of the atmosphere calculated to
reproduce the phenomenon. As regards Sir
David Brewster, it would rather appear from
his observations on halos, which have been
already referred to that the learned Principal of
Edinburgh University discards the idea of reflection
from this class of phenomena and attributes them
entirely to refraction. The theory of Huygens,
Mariotte, Young, Cavendish, and of most meteorol-
ogists with the exception of Sir Isaac Newton, whose
practical test of the production of prismatic images
by reflection we have already quoted, is that the
halo of 0 is produced by ice crystals floating in the
atmosphere above the line of perpetual oonjelstion ;
we think that Newton, as regards this particular
halo, concurs in that opinion, though not as regards
the smaller prismatic aprons.

Sir,-4 am very sorry that I have not £5O ot my own,
or I would send them directly. 1 can, however, gel.
them on a note of hand at Spar cent., and then you
will have to give me yours to hold myself in exchange.
Your reply will oblige. I have the honour to be, Sir,
your most obedient servant, 11. S. WATERS.
To the Hon. Lionel Aahley.

St. Giles', April 9, 1865.
My Dear Father,— I am very sorry indeed that you
should have been annoyed by the production of that
letter of mine to Waters. I feel that you ought to have
an explanation. It was a rum not sums, as it appeared
in print, of £5O borrowed by me in 1857, at the close of
our honeymoon, previous to our going abroad. I asked
him to advance it to me out of my next quarter, and of
course supposed that he had deducted it from the next.
It ill a thing that is oonstantly dons. Ido not
mean to say that I have constantly done so. That was
my only pecuniary transaction of any sort or kind with
Waters, or, indeed, with Turnbull. You may imagine
my aatonishment when I reoelved a letter from Waters
in 1863 salting me whether he should charge it to you
or me."

SEA-TOWN; NOT SEATON.

To Me Editors.

Pardon the liberty I take in calling your attention
to an error in your last paper. You have a para-
graph under "Seaton" called "a good afternoon's
work." In the first place it should be "Sea-town"
—Seaton is in Devonshire. While I must question
whether fishing on the Sabbath, be it ever so suc-
cessful, ran scarcely be called "a good work." We,
the clergy on the sea-coast, find it a great cause and
source of demoralisation. Yours faithfully,
CLERICIIS RUSTICDS.

EYPE.

THIS place, although a—m;lii-nd secluded, can boast of
having amongst its residence one of the best agricul-
turists in the county. This can be proved by the
number of prize, taken for years past at all the leading
agricultural shown; not for one kind of beast only, but
for all. The gentleman alluded to is H. J. Pitfield,
Esq., also this week will be showing his "pictures" at
Hereford, at the Bath and We.t of England show.
Wait till his return before saying anything about
"medals," k.c. We have at present said quite enough.
Some people have great taste for visiting a racing stud,
but to the writer's mind the "stud" at Eype, for
Hereford, is far superior.

To read a detailed anslyds we must have recourse to
to the market values of fertd:aers as sat down by Pro-
fessor Way, (Royal Agricultural Society's Journal,
xvi., p. 539), viz., nitrogen 7d. and three-tenths of a
Id. per in., ammonia 6d., phosphate of lime id., soluble
phosphate of lime 30., potash 3.1. and three•teritha of a
Id. Whence we make out the manure when fresh and
unfermented to be worth 13e. 6d, per ton, and worth
only 12a. 6d. when well rutted. But the fertilisers
formerly give in esoh case 47ths. to the ton against
6 cwt. 1 qr.lo3s& of freehand 4 cal. 1 or. 27114. of well
I lotted materials, besides 13 0 26i and 15 0 9# res-
pectively of water. It may be said then that in farmyard
manure the fel tilisers exist in a very bulky shape, since
we have to carry to the land with 48113 s of actual
manure from 13 to 15 cwt, of water, and from 4 to
6 owl, of inferior matter. But while this may entail
a large amount of carriage and labour, the mechanical
effect of the mere form of farm-yard manure must not
be ignored, since we find it exerting an important in-
fluence on the mechanical condition of the sod, ad-
mitting atmospheric air, admitting changes of tempera.
tare, and evolving gases promoting vegetation, as well
as by its fermentation yielding the heat which produces
germination and growth. It would seem not at all a
false opinion that the value of our active mammies is
immiderably increased by their more complete distribu-
tion in the soil, and farm-yard manure in the form in
which it not only supplies but distributes the food of
plants, would appear to teach us the leason that our
artificial manures, thoroughly intermixed with other
matters, with a view to their inure effectual distribution,
would prove productive of more advantageous result&
