An Important county meeting was held on Saturday
at Lei , called by the Leicestershire Malt-tax
Repeal Association, to devise measures for the repeal
of the tax. The meeting was one of the moat
inikential county gatherings that has been held for
some years. Lord Berners took the chair, and all the
county members, except one or two who were
atnavoidably prevented, were present, including Lord
John Manners, Mr. Hartopp, Ac. From other
counties' there attended Sir Filar., Kelly, Mr.
Perrand, and other members of Parliament. The
resotations, which were very strong, were carried
unanimously; and there was but one feeling pervading
the meeting, that of all the taxes now on the statute
book the malt tax is the most unjust, and must be first
repealed.
One day last season a gentleman went out hunting
with a pack of hounds in Siwthind. They found a fox
and went away, and after nothing some time came to a
very big fence with a biggish brook on the other side.
The huntsman went at it, and in it, but after a few
moments reappeared on the surface with his face
apparently streaming with blood. "Good God!" cried
a friend, "he has broken bits head ; he'll be killed!"
"Oh, net at all," said another, "it's only the die
from his hair." The huntsman went under water with
hair of a reddish-brown bile, and came up quite white.
The Norwich papers give most extraordinary amounts
of the proceedings of Brother Ignatius and his fellow
monks during the late Church festivals. On one
occasion there was an exposition of the "Blessed
Saerament at the altar of the Virgin, and the Shrine of
the Banablno." (A Bambino is a wax figure of the
Infant Saviour.) On another day the Infant Samuel
was brought in, vested as • miniature p ,st, and was
creamed with flowers. fie was enthroned by the
acolytes in front of tb. altar, and wasi waited upon
daring the service as if he were a little Pope for the
time being. On the anniversary of the martyrdom of
St. Tbooses a Becket, Brother Ignatius preached a
sermon in his honour, asserting that he was the saviour
of the Church of England, and that his blood shedding
communicated new fife to the cause of the Gospel in
England. Processions with the Bambino round the
convent premises, early communion with the church of
St. Lawrence, in connexion with the services of the
Rev. E. A. Hillyard, and an endless series of special
services, filled up the time of the monks, who, it is
stated, reeeived _ plenty of good cheer from all parts of
the kingdom. The sister of Lord Stafford has pur-
chased a large mansion in Norwich for the purpose of
adapting it to a nunnery in connexion with the Roman
Catholic Church. Incense is now sold publicly in Nor-
crick at 6s. per pound 1
A playful mot is attributed to M. Berryer a propos of
Muller'e trial. "The prisoner," said the great advocate,
'ought to have been acquitted without calling any
witness to prove an alibi—' Faroe que tout le monde
&wait qu'il etait aillenni [thilleur]. London Review,
The Mirth rinses dates that the Rev. Mr. Dove,
who succeeded the Rev. F. G. Lee as incumbent of the
ill-fated ether& of St Mary, Aberdeen, declined with
scorn the proposals of Bishop Sather fdFconverting the
beautiful building into a cathedral for the diocese, and
has by this time most probably himself become it,
