I am asked to draw the attention of the Hon.
Ralph Dutton and the directors id the South-Western
Railway Company to the discomfort and in dequate
accommodation afforded by the Bournemouth (East)
station. Bournemouth is the chosen haven of con-
sumptive invalids; yet the principal station is an open
shed exposed to every wind of heaven, with no
waiting-room, and beset on the arrival of every train
with a crowd of foul-mouthed and yelling fly-drivers
and 'bus-touta. Comparatively no station on the
South-Western line does so much passenger traffic as
Bournemouth: and therefore from the lowest point of
view some radical change is required at the hands of
the "safe and sure" directors of Waterloo,

meat on Sunday afternoon in Hyde Park. Mistaken,
it is supposed, for Count Schonvigolf, H.S.H. wee
walking alone, when a large mob started in pursuit of
him. He was recognised by Captain Dashwood, late
of the 92nd, who immediately joined the Duke and
wound his arm in his. The two proceeded together
amidst howls and missiles until Captain Millwood
managed to attract tke attention of four privates of
the Grenadiers, who, like gallant fellows, at once
joined the fugitives, two falling in before and two
behind them. The mob Increased in numbers and
fury, clods of turf were thrown at them and worse
: things threatened, until they were descried by •
sergeant of police, who brought up a small detach-
ment of his men and managed to surround them until
they were fairly ran out at the Albert Gate. It was
a very narrow squeak for the Duke, and ought to
teach him and other gentlemen to abstain from
countenancing, even as a looker-on, any future gather-
ings of the mob in the Park.

Mr. Gladstone's determination not to Amid again
for Greenwich was no surprise to me. I had heard
some time ago that be had decided to stand for the
Universities of Glasgow and Aberleen against the
Lord Advocate The latter decision ha. probably
been modified ; but he is looking for a seat, and does
not intend to retire from the House.

I hear from Berlin that Prince Bismark and his
Imperial and Royal Master do not quite hit it off on
the Eastern Question. Kaiser Wilhelm b. completely
absorbed by his attachment to the Emperor of All the
Russians, for whom he ham just testified his affection
in a vary practical ahem by making him • present of

artillery which he happened to have on his hands. As
for the German Chancellor, he is England's very vod
friend; but he has been heard torernark that the Turk
is dead in Europe, and that the future of Bulgaria
will prove a hard ant to crack.

No growl was ever beard from me about the vote of six
millions, recognising, as did every one except the fanatics,
the necessity for it, and knowing the poise to which it
would be applied. Rot I have just h.m.M the details of
certain expenditure, about which I should like to say a
word. I an told on good authority that the Duke of
Abercorn's mission to present the King of Italy with the
Order of the Garter has cost this country between four
and five thousand pounds, while the Bill for Lord
Ro".ilyn's trip to represent us at Madrid on the occasion
of King Alphonso's marrisge amounted to between three
and four thousand pounds. Surely, without anything
like parsimony, • far leas outlay would have sufficed. I
am told that the envoys and their *esteem actually had
special trains from London to Diver. though the occasions
were not those on which a few boars were of any moment.
