NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Lord Beaconsfield and Lord Salisbury sat Thursday
in the House of Lords for the last time before taking
their departure for Berlin.

Not one of the members for Dorset and its 13orougha
voted in the minority against the adjournment of
Parliament over the Derby-day. There! Boys will be
boy.; and as we all know there is nothing to occupy
the attention of legislative wisdom at the present
time.

Few persons will envy the journalist& of Bolivia.
The Refonna having pointed out that certain measures
taken by the Government were unconstitutional,
three f the writers on the staff of the paper and its
publisher were immediately afterwards thrust into
prison, and then banished to a malarious district 300
leagues from La Paz. After enduring much suffering
for several months, the publisher succeeded in obtain.
log permission to return, and the paper then
mappearetl Soon after it was the President's birth-
day, and the official papers published congratulatory
articles on the occuion, while the Reforms warn
silent. The President then gave orders for the arrest
of the new editor and his assistant.; hut they were
warned in time and managed to escape.
The London correspondent of the Dunda Adroit/e'
says :—" I have good reason to believe that Lord
Beaconafield and Lord Salisbury do not go to the
Congress in the most friendly and confidential spirit.
If I am not misinformed, the real object of Lord
Salisbury is to watch over and control the vagaries f
his collesgue- The Cabinet were rather dismayed
when Lord Beaconsfield proposed that he himself
should go, and they insisted that he should not go
without the assistance, u it is kindly put, of a
colleague. It was therefore decided to send Lrd
Salisbury with him ; but the real object of the Foreign
Secretary is to see that his official chief faithfully
carries out the views and decisions of the Government."
Another correspondent writes :—" The fact that
Beassoutfield and Salisbury are going to Berlin
separately causes much comment in the lokby, and
Liberals are circulating the rumour that the Premier
gou by the Queen's request to act as a check upon the
. Foreign Secretary."

Last week the new statute the Matrimonial Causes
Act waa issued. It contains all important provision
as to wifebeating, and police courta will now become
subsidiary divorce courta The clause waa added by
Lord Penzance, and, as amended, states that "if a
bushend shall be convicted, summ .rily or otherwise,
of an aggravated anima within the meaning of the
24th and 25th Vic., c. 100, sec. 43, upon hia wife, the
court or magistrate before whom he shall be so
convicted, may, if satbfied that the future safety of
the wife is in peril, order that the wife shall be no
longer bound to cohabit with her husband, and such
order shall have the force and effect in all respecte of
a decree of judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.,
and such order may further provide as to her support.
The magistrate may order a weekly allowance for her
support, which may be altered, and for non-payment
suck orders may be enforced as orders of affiliation.
The wife is, in the discretion of the court or magis-
trate, to have the care of children under ten years of
age, unless adultery is proved against the wife, or
unless the offence b.oi bccn condoned. The Act
further provides Unit "all orders made under this
section shall be subject to appeal to the Pronate and
Admiralty Division of the high Court of Justice.'
The Act came into operation after the Royal assent
on the 27th ult.

A London Correspondent says the fact of Lord
Beaconsfield's going to the Congissa inspires increased
hope of an ultimately peaceful settlement. The
number here is exceedingly few, scarcely any among
the Conservatives, who cavil at the selection of both
the Premier and the Foreign Secrete, y. The left
wing of the Liberals object to everything that comes
from "the other side," but a very larg • proportion of
Isird Hartington's followers consider that Lord
Beaconsfield's presence will mike the avoidance of war
all the more assured. The chief obstacle to a settle-
ment is likely to be found —not in Russia, but in the
attitude of '1 urkey. People here seem to fear that as
the Turkish settletnent is likely to be tail upon the
reforming lines of Lord Salisbury. instead of being
fashioned on the strictly pr-Turkish policy of Lord
Beaconsfield, the Turks will find themselves so greatly
disappointed that they may at the last moment
en.:eavour to patch up an alliance with Russia. The
fear of • Russo.l'urkish understanding ie said to haunt
our Foreign Office to a much greater degree than out-
siders suppose. There is one matter in connection
with this subject which notesly seems to undsnitand
Why are not the two hogliali envoys going to Berlin
together? The fsct that ..ne will leave 1,112•1011 011 the
Saturday anti the other .n 1 the Tuesday occasions a
deal of comment, and creates a fear that there is still a
want of cordiality between the Foreign Secretary and
his chief. The cynics declare that one Minister is
going to watch the other. It is difficult to say
where the truth lies. To all outward appearances the
two Nlinisters are in the most perfect accord, but the
quidnunce and the under-strappers in the public offices
declare that the friendship is very superficial.

There is unhappily as yet no indication of an early
1.. mine ion of the strike and lock-ont in North-east
Lancashire. The em".loyers, throssis their chairman,
Mr. Raynsford Jackson, have once more intimated
their determination not to serer, any compromise.
and their deeire not to inert agatit until there is a
"clear iudic.stion" that the operatiiee are willing to
return to work the terms laid down. The enplogis
do not *eau I lb.' .4101 10 aCeede to she masters' Canna

employers are therefore, we ar. informed, beginning
to consider if it is pueible to brii.g worhpeopie frow
other place., noted', hom the United State., where
many cotton operatives are unempl..yod.

On Fri lay niiht, in the House of Comtuone, the
rhaussllor of the Exchequer stat,sl, in answer to Sir
Watkin, that there were 13,000 fewer
Irewers now than twelve years ago, awl 23.000 fewer
than forty year* ago. ilia, the right hon. gentleman
added, was the natural result of the o.inpeUtlofl ol
large brewers.

A rumour is current that if the r..ngress proves a
succor the Earl of Beaconsfield will receive • duke-
dom and be made • Knight of the Garter. The
Premier haa already been offered and has refused tiu
Garter ; but if he shoul I anceee.l in settling the
Eastern Question he tembll probably think that the
highest order in the peerage and the Garter would be
rewards not out of proportion to his services.

Frequent official bulletins declare that there I.
every hope with respect to the German Emperor
that be is prosressing favourably, is free from pain,
sleeps well, and has recovered his appetite—that the
shock of the second attempt to assaainate and the
actual show log of him has, in fact, had no iU effects
upon his system. At the same time it haa been
thought well to transfer temporarily the eupreme
power to the Crown Prince daring His Majesty's
Ulnas, and Frederick William has socorilingl)
amounted the control of public business, but in view of
the probability that Flis Majesty may be shortly
enabled to resume his usual functions, the title of
Regent will, it appears, not be borne by His Imperial
Highness. Nobtling, the assassin, who has not re-
covered consciousness, is not only a man of education
and considerable attainments, but his family is well
connected, and several of his relations have held
positions of some consequence under Government,
whom they are now asaistiog in their enquiries. It
seems that in Berlin great uneasiness is felt by the
wealthier clauses at the possibility of • Communistic
outbreak, but it is to be hoped that the profound
1114,re...i0n which has naturally been produced by this
second dastardly outrage will not so far throw the
German people off their balance that they will be
led to renounce any portion of their iutelectual or
personal liberty.

To conteet the vacancy created in the Parliamentary
representation of Southampton by the unexpected
death of Mr. Russell Gurney, the Liberal party have
unanimously adopted Mr. Henry MaBoll Romps', rec.,
of the Western Circuit. A select committee of the
Liberal Two Hundred went to London on Monday for
the purpose of interviewing certain gentlemen whose
name* bas been mentioned either se willing or as
desirable candidates, and on their strong recommend&
Hon and after a full discussion of the whole position,
Mr. Homiest was unanimously selected by the Two
Hundred to fight the first battle in which they have
engaged as representing the Liberal party in the

expected that if the settlement at Berlin be very
favourable to the protection of British interests; in
Asia, the Government will appeal to the country at
once for an approval of what they have done. They
hope to ride on a 'wave of popularity into another
septennial period of power. The load of taxation and

ment into fmnandal embarraminsent next spring. and
they will try to keep that out of eight."

There ara plenty of wise and dear headed people in the
