Of course, not all the revelations of stable
secrets in the world, or the surprises which
almost invariably attend "moral certainties"
from some inexplicable accident or another,
will ever prevent people gambling. "Noble

An extraordinary letter appears in large type
in the Diritto, the Miniiterial organ, at Rome.
It is dated Berlin, and says :

" A number of indication; if not of proofs, have been
together to permed. the most sceptical that
gared Great Britain had an important part in preparing the
revolution, in bringing it to • head at the day and hour
required. The Queen, whose gentle Mitzi mind had
rising before it the spectre of Abdul Aviv, was soon,
although not entirely, remand by Lord Derby and Mr.
Disraeli, who announced to her that the ex. Sultan had
become • plieonw, but was sae and sound (aim • maw).
The august lady continued even then te tremble for the
life of • man to whom nine years or so ago she had
extended her hospitality, and whose death would be to
her a cause of eternal remorse. He might be asfe to-
day. Who could guarantee that he would be so to-
morrow I It was then that the woman rose superior to
the Queen, and that of her own spontaneous will, and
without liven censulU:ng the chief of her Ministers, she
telegraphed to Sir H. MI. iott these few words, which
revealed a deep and powerful emotion—' Abdul Ariz has
been my guest; watch over him.' We all know that
the desire of the Queen has not been fulfilled, and that
whether a suicide or an amemognaaathe death of Abdul
Ariz followed closely upon his tion, without Sir H.
allot having been able to do to save him. But
it is net known to all that the ancient walls of Windsor
enclose another great sorrow, and that in the extreme
delicacy of her soul Queen Victoria reproves herself and
and weeps for having yielded to her advisers and pro-
voked a revolution, which, but for the pert taken by
England, would probably never have occurred, and the
of which was the death of Abdul Asia.'

A curate of St. Paul's, Brighton, and a curate
of Brooking near Totnes, have earned the
gratitude of their congregations, by quitting the
Church of England, and joining that of Rome.
This is as it should be. If a man feels himself
unable to carry out the duties for which he is
employed conscientiously, he has no more moral
right to receive his salary because his appoint-
ment may be to all intents and purposes perma-
nent than the clerk, who is liable to a month's
notice. The two rev, gentlemen have set an
example a good many might with propriety
follow. Moreover, Lord Charles George Archi-
bald Douglas, has entered the monastery of the
Discalced Carmelites, at Kensington, become a
a Catholic priest, and sung his first solemn high
mass. Upon the perversion of the curates we
may congratulate the English Church, and upon
that of his lordship, as he is sole brother and
heir presumptive of the Duke of Hamilton, the
, Ronush.

The standard of bona fide intoxication gets
even higher. In the Liverpool police-court,
lately, a man accused of drunkenness and assault
denied the first part of the charge on the ground
that he was "able to walk," and was not there-
fore "properly drunk." At a breach of promise
trial in Edinburgh, a few days ago, a witness
deposed that the man was so drunk on the day
the marriage contract was signed that he could
not have possibly known what he was about.
"How much drink had you had that day your-
self 1" asked the counsel for the defendant "I
got too little," replied the witness. "How
much do you consider enough 1" "When you
can't speak," was the ready and oracular reply.

A NOVELTY IN FISHING.—The use of the cormorant
for fishing purposes in China and other countries is
well known, but it is only recently these birds have
been introduced into this part by Captain Dugmore,
of the Dorset Militia, who has during the past week
been making some interesting experiments with them
In the river at Poundbury, with the view to their more
great employment. The trials which have been
watched with much interest, have generally been
attended with great NICONS, the bird/ succeeding in
getting some fine catches, though the sport had been
considerably interfered with through the prevalence
of too many weeds in the stream. The bar Is remain
under water a considerable time. Yesterday (Monday)
they took some very fine trout. Some hawking at
Maiden Castle for rbits was also indulged in.

The Rev. John Bey.les, rector of Chickerell, was the
complainant—The parish appears to be at logger-heads
respecting a piece of land the rector has enclosed, which
some consider an encroachment upon their rights. The
defendant is one. A vestry meeting was held on the Bth
of June in the church. Everybody seems to have made •
row, in spite of which the rector would not adjourn into
the scheol-rooni. The defendant was t cry violent, and
knocked a man's hat out of his hand.
The Bench remarked severely upon the conduct of all
parties coacerned, and fined defendant £5.

The nation on either side the "mill pond"
has a pleasing prospect before it. The extradition
treaty between England and America is at an
end. We mayanticapatethat we shall become the
receipienta of the vilest scum of the New World;
while on the other hand our cousins will have
to harbour what amount of moral pollution finds
it. way from our shores. The fugitive Winslow,
an American forger, has been released, because
the United States would not consent to promise
be should not be tried for any other offence,
than that for which he was surrendered. That
is British law ; and it certainly appears to
amount to this. If a man commits a burglary
and a murder, and flies to England, and the
American authorities are unable to show &prima
facie case for his surrender, upon the latter
charge as well as the former, he is given up, solely
on the understanding that he should only take
his trial in America for the burglary. It ia
scarcely to be supposed this beautiful interpreta-
tion of English judges, would commend itself to
our Trans-Atlantic brethren, and as terms could
not be arranged the Treaty is gone, and English
scoundrels at present are safe on American
soil, and via versa.

The Anthropological Society at Munich was
occupied, a few days since, with inspecting and
discussing the condition of two Russians of the
name of leflitchjew (father and son), who are
usually described as dog-men; and who were
exhibited in London a ahorktime ap, their faces
being covered entirely with hair similar to that
of a King Charles dog. Dr. von Siebold gave
a lecture on the subject. He expressed his
opinion that the phenomenon was a remarkable
instance of atavism, or reversion to a type when
man was still a furred being, according to
Darwin's hypothesis. Photographs were shown,
during the sitting, of drawings dating from the
sixteenth century, which also represent such
hairy human beings.

The agonising position of the " Young
Author" whose advertisement appeared in the
Academy of last week, deserves every sympathy:
—" A young author, to be married on the
24th instant, is desirous of obtaining by then
500 subscribers to a ls. work he will publish on
that day (12 copies for 1(a.). Address Author,
14 Argyll Street, Oxford Street, W."
Monaco is now one of the few legally recog-
nised gambling spots to be found in Europe,
and this evil reputation is no longer to exist un-
challenged. The "Letter addressed to the
French senators and deputies by certain inhabit-
ants of Nice, Cannes, and Menton, on the moral
and material prejudice caused by the public
gambling establishment of Monte Carlo," which
has just been published at Nice, is a decided
proof of the strong feeling that exists against
these last remains of lawful-gambling-hells. The
petition is signed by about 200 persons of various
nationalties, chiefly French and English, headed
by the Mayor of Nice. The petition concludes
with a long list of the various suicides that have
been caused by losses at the gaming-table, all
of the usual kind, with their grim air of ghastly
sensationalism. One man who killed himself
left a piece of paper with the words, "Monaco
en tuera bien d'autres." Whether this new
crusade will succeed or not is yet to be seen.
"Fighting the tiger," as New Yorkers call it, is
a very fascinating sport. At all events, the
hostile movement is a very praiseworthy one.

The prospect of getting Mr. Chamberlain, the
able and eloquent Mayor of Birmingham, into
the House, in pls.oe of Mr. Dixon, is one which
the advanced Liberals are looking forward to
with much satisfaction. Of course, the Con-
servative party will run an opposition candidate,
and do all they can to shut out so formidable a
re-iioroement to the Liberal camp,. They are
not to be blamed for this, since if lir. Chamber-
lain get& into the House, the Liberation Society
will once more have a young and vigorous
leader, in place of Mr. Henry Richards Mr.
Mialle lieutenant, who hail succeeded to the
leadership of the party more on account of
seniority than his own weight as a speaker.
Mr. Chamberlain's introduction to the House
would be a signal for a move vigorous prosecu-
tion of the campaign.
