A GIPSY TAKEN IN!

A story of this year's Derby 'elates how an Indian
potentate of great wealth and kill greater ambition,
now on a visit to this country, WAS caught on the
ciurse by a gipsy fortune-tellei, who, no doubt, con.
gratulated herself on having eectred a rare prize. her
dramatic and prophetic genius roe to a level with the
occasion. "She dwelt on the lnes of his hand," we
read, her eyes lighted up by s strange enthusiasm,
and in a voice broken by emotion she whispered words"
which seemed to prophecy for the Oriental prince a
rule of almost illimitable grandeur. What reward she
expected for her boundless generosity it is impossible
to conceive; but as it was slit overshot her mark.
The prince was so deeply mowd that he doubtless
considered it would be sacrilege to give the prophetess
anything to drink his health. Instead of Insulting
her with the offer of money, he collided to her keeping
a ring engraven with strange lines, more curious than
valuable, bidding her bring it to him as a token at the
end of ten years, wherever he might chance to be.
Doubtless if he comes into the enjoyment of his pro-
phecy during that period, and the Derby fortune-
teller sncceeds in niaking her way to his Indian court,
she will be adequately rewarded for the delay; but the
moral she probably draws from the whole transaction
is, that, though promisee cost nothing, it is a mistake
for a prudent prophetess to make them too dazzling
and solemn, to be paid for on delivery, like any ordi-
nary consignment of dark lovers with moustaches, or
fair sweethearts with blue eyes, that can be settled for
in half-crowns on the spot. Small prophec;es and
quick returns will probably be her maxim for the
u ture.

THE GOOD TIME COMING!

After the long period of dejection and distress
through which our commerce has passed, it is very
gret fying to read reports such as those from the Iron
Districts, which are now gladdening the hearts of busi-
ness men (remarks the Daily News). From Cleveland
, correspondents write that every department of the iron-
trade is aa busy as possible. Stocks of the raw matee al are
exhausted ; the older@ already booked extend into next
year, anal more will not be taken except at enhanced
prices. The mills and puddling furnaces are working
to the full extent of their power to supply the
demand for rai's, and the foundries are busy with
heavy c sittings. From Wales we get equally favourable
accounts. Ituesia, the United States, India, and the
Colonies are pressing upon the market, and severely tax-
ing the resources of manufacturers. Great works which
once gave employment to large populations. hut
which have long been chs-d, are being re-opened. and
are now once more full of bustle and activity. From
the Lanarkshire, as well as from the Eirmingharn and
Wolverhampton districts, favourable accounts are also
received, and on the whole it may be said that the
iron industry of the country—which in its export
branch aliens has before now exceeded the declared
value of fit teen millions sterling—had never brighter
prospects before it. After all that has been
said of what the foreign producer could do, it
is found that it is to this market that the foreign
buyer comes with his large orders. The Americans
at this very moment, notwithstanding their Pro.
tee the Tariff, are ordering largely, and will take
enormous quantities off our hands this year. One
hope we may venture to express : we trust that the
improved circumstances of trade will be allowed to
benefit both employers and men : that capital will not
be waylaid on its enterprising and beneficent march,
and deprived by ill-usage of all encouragement to de-
vise large measures for the good of the community.
The great trades of the kingdom are just now putting
forth their resaurces, after a long interval of corn-
pulsory stagnation ; they can absorb the surplus labour
of the country, if they are only allowed fair play. In
fact, Middleshorough alone has lately been taking off
more of the unemployed population of London weekly
than our charitable emigration societies have sent out
to the colonies. It would be more than a calamity, it
would be a scandal, if this improvement were arrested
by untimely and unreasonable demands.

THE IRON TRADE.

WoLVERRAMPTON, Wane:day.

The market continues to stiffen. Pigs of
every kind are moving upward, and the gush-
ties upon whach advances have been recently de-
clared are still spoken of as likely to be put
higher. Ci rtain consumers hesitate to believe
this: add, therefore, display no great anxiety ;
others, however, are desirous of purchasing to
sa greet a length RA practiesble at current
rates, but producers of best kinds are indisposed
to book for long deliveries. Less reluctance to
sell by the vendors of middling qualities, and
there is a tolerable readiness to buy shown by
the proprietors of mills and forges. Hence, al-
though 'Change was but thinly attended to-day,
some fair sales were !nude. Finished iron is in
growing but not rapid demand, with tightening
quotations. The works have not resumed yet,
holiday-keeping continuing to be ohs, reed by
the work-people. amongst whom there seems to
be a disposition to lengthen the pleasure-ob-
serving periods in this district. Companies of
ironworkers and colliers continue to move else-
where.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE SIARKET.-MONDAT.

Q.detnese has been the feature of the cattle trade to-day
For all descriptions of stock the demand has been inactive,

DESTRUCTION OF THE BRITISH
EMBASSY AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

The following telegram, dated June 6, 7.40 am.,
was received on Monday at the Foreign Office from
Her Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople :
..British Embassy burnt last night. Fire destroyed
enormous number of houses. Embassy House gutted .
archives and plate saved. Pray publish in the newspapers
that nobody belonging to Embassy is injured, although they
have lost everything."
(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.
CuNsTARTimorLE, June 6.
. . _

A fearful fire broke out at I am. yesterday, in Pees, which
was not got under until nearly midnight. In consequence
of a strong wind, the flames spread with alarming rapidity,
and the English Embassy, the American and Portuguese Con-
sulates, the Nieman Theatre, the Palace of the Armenian
Patriarch, and many churches, mosques, end several thoneand
houses and chops in the finest parts of Per. were completely
destroyed. Several persons were killed and others wounded.
The fire is still burning in various places. The loss is
Immense. The telegraph wires between Pen and Europe
were broken; but communication has been re-established
this morning at an adjacent point through the promptitude
of the telegraph administration. The scene in Pera is heart-
rending, as thousands of families are in the streets home-
less.

A VICTI3I AND HIS FRIEND.

Trandation of a letter which appeared in the
Rheniila Courier of the 15th of April, 1870 :
" CAUTION TO STRANGERS VISITING WIESBADEN.

In several hotels, bAthiog, end privote ledging.liousee, a
printed rezulatiou from the Burgomaster's [Mice has been
circulated in reference to the care-tax.
The contents of the paper are apt ti mislead strangers
by making them believe that they are liable to pay the care-
t,x, which is not the case ; or that by plying the care-tax,
they would eup y priviiegea which actually do not exist, as
everybody, either resident or a stranger, can enjoy the pri-
vileges without paying any tax.
Strangers are frequently labouring under the erroneous
idea that by paying the care-tax they wolf free themselves
from begging collet:tot, and other tunoy sum a.
"Jr is, therefore, my intention to warn strangers against
these impoisitions.

SOMETHING ABOUT GERMAN COOKERY.

Count Mandel., the eminent Hanoverian politician—
who, like his late wife, Lady Harriet St. Clair
(authoress of "Dainty Dishes ") is a noted gastroneme
—has just published as cookery-book at Berlin. In the
introduction to this work the Count speaks very
severely of the neglict into wit ch the culinary art ham
fallen among his countrymen, and especially his
countrywomen. There are plenty of girls in )erinany,
he says, who can sing, draw, flay the piano, and read
novels; their education ample fosters their frivolous
taste', lint loin no way suitecito prepare them for the
practical duties of a housewife 'The consequence is
that the German cuisine is %tome than the Eugliah,
which is the healthiest and the most rational; than
the Russian, which excels in pastry, fish, and preserves'
than the Italian, which is famous for its macaroni,
ices, and chocolate; and than the French, which still
maintain its old reputation, juilifying the sating that
with a good sauce you could eat your grandmother's
' slipper." Even at the royal twig, he aids, "I have Reen
with horror a salmon brongld up sudl OA no 7,, 1r in
England, however hungry, w old have dared toteech."
The greatest fault of Germai cookery is, he thinks,
that sufficient attention is netptiel to the raw material,
and that economy is praotiaei in such a manse as to
be more prejudicial than tie wildest extravagance.
Meat is warded in an oven, wich is not cheaper, and
much less satisfactory, than tie Euglish plan of roast-
ing before the fire. German took. are a bad ropy et
French cooks. They are cl•an, it is true, it they

and the outside of their pots sad pans rather than after

IMPORTANT TO INTENDING
EMIGRANTS.

The Mayor of '1 ontreat, in opening the council of that city
on the 14 h of March, referred to the emigration mot ement
to the following terms :
• ••

a
"Extensive preparations are now in progress in the
British Isles and other European countries for sending
out to this country a large number of emigrants during
the coming season. It is to be hoped that some
system will he adopted in embatking these people
which will ensure classilleation and proper aid and
direction when they reach these shores, and that the
Liomini m Parliament, whose duty it is to deal with
this matter, will perfect such arrangements as will
prevent these people from being a burden instead of a
blessing to our community on art ival here. During the
past two years this city has been sorely tried by
the frequent arrival of large slumbers of these poor
people witnout any apparent means with which to pro-
ceed further, awl frequently (alluding to continental
emigrants) without the power of expressing or under-
standing one word of any language spoken in this
country. The emigrant agent had no fonds, and the
authorities whose duty it was to deal with the matter,
seemed deaf to all appeal, and had it not beeu for the
benevolent exertions of private individuals many of
these poor creatures might have perished from want
mud disease."

DEPARTURE OF EMIGRANTS.

An interesting eight was witnessed at the S.
Pancras Terminus of the Midland Railw in London,
on Mon hiy evening. At six o'clock, 312 emigrants,
ouch wed solely of marri, d men, their wives, and
faniiiies, assembled on the platform jour to the depar-
ture of a "special " for Liverpool, at 7 30. This batch
of emigrants was sent out by the East London Family
Emigration Si eety, which is managed chiefly by a
committee of ladies, the Hon. Mrs. Hobart taking a
leading part in the direction, and supported solely by
voluntary contributions. On the platform were several
of the ciminitte and friends of the society. amongst
whom were Lord Lawrence, late Governor General of
India, arc Lady Lawrence. the Hon. A. Kinnaird,
M.P., the Hon. Elizaheth Waldegrave, Lady Burrell,
the Hon. F. and Miss Hobart, General C. S-,uart,
Admiral Fighb.urne, Rev. T. Richardson, vicar of St.
Mai thews, St Giorged-i-in-the-E est, Mies Baxter, Mr.
Megsy Clive, Mr. T. B. Swithiee, etc.
In the party of 312 almost every class of skilled and
un- kbled workmen was represeroed, and every family
had either been scitoc d to the utmost destitution, had
been a reg'pient 4 the rate', or was on tbe high road
to be one. Last year the society sent out 1.000
emigrat to to Ontario, and without exception they have
done well. Destitution is the first claim upon the lone
volence of the committee, but it muet be accompanied
by rood eh .racter. The entire cost of transit from
London to Ootarin is paid by the society ; two new
girt. of clothes have been given to each emigt sot, aid
ten elollings each will be handed them on arriving at
their deAinati,n, where they will be net iv the
C matli An agent, who will rt gister the names and trades
of the men. . . . .

At half-past nix the emignuts wire served with tea
in one of the wai itig rooms, the ladiem of the com-
mtt beirg moat attentive to them. A 111 inn woe
sung and prayer offered after tea, and then a few words
if encouragement were addressed by Admiral
Fithbourne and Mr. Richardarn to the poor people
who were all in high sp.rits. At half-past swen the
"special" left for Liverpool. The Rev. T. iii hardaon

MR. SPURGEON ON "BELLS."

In London, on Tuesday evening, the Metropolitan
Tabernacle was crowded from end to end by ten
audience assembled to hear the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon
repeat his lecture on belle. Toe rev, gentleman waa
aßaisted by the Poland-street Temperance Hand-Bell
Ringer., under the direction of their leader, Mr. NWler,
and by a choir of 600 chbilren belonging to the United
Kingdum Band of Hope Union, and led by their con-
ductor, Mr. F. Smith. In fact, the pecuniary resulte,
whioh must have been very large - all persons being
admitted by tickets charged for, and ranging from six-
pence to half-a-crown--were devoted to the temperauce
Cause.

!h, chair was t aken by Mr. Tin mas Hughes, Mr.,
who in hisop min aldre•s allud-d to the fact that the
Hand-Bell Ringers who were ahout to contrilinte to
the evening's entertainment hid the honour of air-
wining before her Maje,'y at Osbarne by special re-
quest, on Thursday in last week.
Mr. h'porgeon's lecture is a comprehensive view of
campanology, in ell its stages and varieties a develop-
ment, from the period whe sl Jacob kept his thicks with
the aid of the tinkling sheeptiell, down to tht noi-y
reign of the railway and muffin hells of the present
day. The subject WWI on this occasion profusely and
admirably illustrated and enlivened by the two sets ol
perlormers already menlioned, and at intervals the
lecturer indulged the audience in his best manner with
some anecdotes and plea, antries, which were
thoroughly appreciated. A series of excellent dissolvirg
views, sped dly prepare I for the occasi hi, brought
the proceedings to a satisfactory conclusion.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT WEM.

On Monday afternoon, Joseph Greene Wilson, the
young man who is accused of the dreadful clime of
endeavouring to' kill his father by discharging at him
two ballets from a revolver, wise brought up before
a bench of wag strates at Wem. The excitement in
the little town was enormous, and long before the
time of hearing the court was crowded alimstwto
riff, cation.

--ThTp—r-semer is rather a good-looking young man. of
dirk compli xion, and wearing a little moustache; he
Re".lll,Cl tO he but little moved hy what was going on.
His shoes, on the contrary, who had to give important
vidence against hill), aas carried into court in a faint-
ing and app mealy unconscious state, and restorations
hail to be administered before she commenced answer-
ing the questions put to her.
The injured man being still in amnia precarious state,
his depositions were taken before a magistrate on
Saturday, and were read at this inquiry. ¶J he sub-
stance of them a-as that the rerolver found rear to
Dr. Wilson alter the sho's had been fired was
usually kept inclosed in a bag in a drawer in his bed-
room. lie did tr,t hear the first report of the push 1,
beteg anleep, but felt a sensation as if of burning aerorn
his cheek; he heard the second report, and felt the
bullet strike his head. (Ile latter lodged between the
skin and the skull, and has been extracted ; the former
vile entered at the back of the right eye, and still re-
mains somewhere undiscovered) He said that he and
his son a few years ago had had a quarrel, and the
youth went off to the far West of America, and was
absent about two years. Since his return a few months
ago they hail heed upon the most affectionate terms,
and be could not suggest any motive for his son's com-
mitting such an act.
Tne prisoner's sister, who was under examination
for a great length of time, said she saw the prisoner
coming from towards the dining-room door after the
second report. She was comieg down stairs, and the
prisoner met her at the bottom and said, "Os, Patty,
papa hai shot himself." She went into the dining.
rum and found her father on his hands and knees.
He held up the pistol and said, "This is what it has
been done with." On cross-examination she said that
just before she heard the first report she and her
brother had been together in a room up stairs. 1-1
demeanour there was very quiet. He had been sitting
down reading Martin Cher.fewit. When she saw her
brother at the bottom of the stairs he apptared much
Agitated and to be in great grief. Since his return
from America he had been very reserved in manner,
but she believed him to be very affectionate, and he
had not had a quarrel with his father since his return.
Mr. Gill, a surgeon, living next door to Dr. Wilson,
gave evidence as to the nature of the wounds, saying
that either of them might yet prove fatal, and that the
it.jAred man wan very far from being out of danger.
A great deal of other evidence was given, the
examination lasting six hours, after which the prisoner
was remanded.

THIEVES' SUPPER.

" Ned Wright" still continues his efforts to benefit
the criminal class from whieh he has been himself
rescued. About two hundred convicted thieves were
assembled the other night at his meetingehouse—once
a penny gaff near the Neev.cut. They were each
gum n a basin of good lump and half a loaf; and after
supper Ned Wright gave them a vigorous practical
address. "Shall I give you some good advice, lads?"
was his commencement; and there WAS a general
response of approbation. By a hanpity varied form of
address, he sustained their attention with great suc,
cess for neatly an hone. There was but a single inter.
ruptinn, and that very slight ; it was at once suppressed,
and Ned Wright turned it to god account. He speaks
, with all the force and truth of nature, and we are not
eurprised to learn that there are not a few thieves
whian he has successfully reclaimed.
It is impossible to look round the room (remarks
I the c irrespondent of a London contemporary) without
feeling that there are many among his audience who,
, on the most ablunary principles, ought to be capab'e
of better things ; but Ned Wright believes he is in
possession of a truth which is powerful enough to save
even the most degraded, Ile does not, however, omit
, ordinary agencies.
Before obtaining admittance. every thief is obliged
to apply for a ticket, and to furnish part enlace of his
I position, and that Ned knows the name and address of
every man who attends his meetings. He told them
that he was not without means of obtaining honest
work for any who were desirous of leaving their present
mode of life ; but, we fear, from the interesting ar-
c iunt he gave of his own history, that this must be his
chief difficulty. We t ink no one who goes will deny
that Ned Wright is doings geruina work.
We venture to suggest that the less mere spectators
ar • admitted to the platform, the u.oie easy will it be
for Ned to maigtain a genuine interchanie tit c ence
I etween himself and the el tea he addresses. None who
wish well ti his work woul I wish to ernearrass him
by mere cmi sty. W.th this Lint, we are glad of
the opportunity of making it known that he is a little
embarrass, d just now for want of funds. He has
hitherto given the suppers every fortnight; but he
has announced, without mentioning the reason
in pniblhi, that he was doubtfni if he could offer the
next at the usual tints. We learn that he is
himself out of pocket by them, and that he cannot
cc ntinue them as he wou'd wish without further help.
Ii is to be hoped that there are many who will gladly
help so good a work.
