The Morecar Gazette has & gledsome article on
England's approaching rain. The failure of the City
of Glasgow Bank, the innumerable bankruptcies in
every branch of badness, the labourers' strike in Rene
and Stave, the numbers of workmen out of employ in
the North, and the frightful oompetition in every
branch of trade, all form pegs on which to place dole-
ful excerpts from letters to the rimer, psalmist articles
In the Saturday Review, and the recent Social Science
Congress at Cheltenham. " The Angloanesian

He understood the report had been adopted, but the
matter rested entirely with the Government.
The ladies' testimonial to Lord Beaconsfield is
making such painfully small headway that the female
Jingoes have been forced to "allow the gentlemen"
also to join in the movement. I am afraid that,
unlace this ludicrous fiasco tarns out better, female
suffrage will find but a lukewarm supporter in the
Premier. Sir Charles Whetham thinks that the

Mr. Weston : Than "the respectable gentleman " had

The Bench bed not the slightest doubt in convicting
defendant, although he bad been very ably defended. The
fart of the time of night, the wet net., and warm rabbits
led them to that conclusion. As there had only been one
Mel berate against him, which was not • bed one, only
half the full penalty would be imposed. It was not

quite conclusive.

Mr. Bower then rose and said : Mr. Mayor, before we

the crier's red cloak and bell to Mr. Stanton! The council
