AN ENGLISHMAN SHOT IN PARIS.

The Daily News special oorrespondent writes :
Driving into Pais !slier the review on Thursday. and
being dry from hut and the dust of nnwatered roads,
I pulled up at the "Noted Stout House" to ask Russell
for a glass of ale. There I beard a story which left me
no stomach for the beer. On Monday, May 22. at seven
In the morning, Russell wee standing on the asphalte of
the Champs Rlyeece, in front of his own house.
rather think he was taking down his shop shutters—at
any rate it was the hoar for doing DO. His children
were playing around him. Presently one of his little
boys said, "Father, there is a soldier opposite aiming
at you." Before the words were out of the Olinda
mouth, a ohassepot bullet struck Russell in the chest.
I went through his lungs, and same out at his back. He
I staggered into the homes, and as far as his bedroom, on
the ground Boor, and then fell down bleeding profusely.
A doctor, who was soon found, told him not to speak,
and ordered his wife and children not to speak to him.
The medical Mils to Galin the family, held out hopes
which he knew were fallacious, and at six In the even-
ing poor Russell died. His widow is in greet distress.
She has three children, the eldest of whom is a girl of
17. The correspondent thinks the case is one which
claims public sympathy, if not diplomatist intervention.
The deceased had no means of knowing that the For-

THE WORKSHOPS REGULATION ACT, 1867.
For the information of those of our readers who take
an interest In the subject, it may be as well to state
that the Workshops Regulation Ad 101 1867 is totally
distinct from the Factory Act.; and was in feet passed
as a pendant to the Factory Lot of the same year.
Its object was to place under reAriotions the labour
in smaller establishments, chiefly affecting tailors,
milliners, dressmakers and others, no matter how
limited their establishments may be, provided they
employ any female (of any age) or any male person
under the age of 18. In addition to ;pertain restrict.
tions on the hotirs of work, the Act isontains highly
useful provisions with roferenee to overcrowding. ven-
tilation, and other unitary matters.
It may not be generally known that this Act makes
it "the duty" of the loft' authority in every plus to
take proper measures for causing its provisions to be
strictly enforced ; and hence any persons who think
that they do not derive the full benefit, which it is the
intention of the legislature they should do, from this
Act of Parliament, should apply in the first instance
to the local authority, whatever that may happen to
be. at the plus in which they reside.
Wherever a Mayor and Corporation exists, the Act
constitutes that body the " !oral authority" for the
purpose. and in the absence of this a Lual Board of
Health. Sewer authority, Board of Guardians, and so
on become the local authorities indite course.
Should those who apply to such local authorities fail
to obtain the redress which they seek, application may
be made to the Factory Inspector of the district, but
only us last resort, as it is plainly the intention of
the Act that it should be worked by the local authority.
The Superintendents; of Polio*, who have special powers
conferred on them by the Act, can also be applied to.

MIL LOWE ON THE HOUSE OF CONIiONS.
The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House •
few days ago entertained a distinguished company at
dinner, the Duke of Edinburgh, as Easter of the
Corporation, presiding. Responding to the toast of
"The House of Commons," Tile Onaseettka of the
ELOEIZQUZB begged to return his most sineere thanks
for the honour they had done to • body which all
Englishmen were free to criticise, bat of which none of
.them spoke, especially when in • foreign country, with-
out emotions of pride. (Hear, hear.) The House of
Commons was entitled in many respects to the respect
and veneration' of the country. It was the oldest
thing we possessed, and it was • most perfect type of
the British public itself—Mini speculo. If they get
Into • fright and fancied any one was coming to eat them
up, the House of Commons fell into • corresponding
agitation, and perhaps committed Itself to some extra-
vagant schemes ;if they suddenly found there was no
cannon for the fright—the penis coining to nothing after
all—the House was apt to become unreasonably parsi-
monious and shudder st the most trivial tax as if the
Chaneellor of the Exoheqaer were going to empty their
pockets. ("Hear" and • laugh.) So that, whether
right or wrong,we had,at any rate.seaured in the House
of "
Commons
entirel y representative assembly. (Hear,
hear.) Then, again, there was this to be said, most
assemblies, moat bodies omistruoted by antiquity,
require from without something to keep them right.
The best watch has to be sent to the watchmaker to be
cleaned and set right again. But the House of Commons
is • sort of law gni gorernor to itself. If it should
erinear to go ton fast in the prose... of legislation
likely to run over the ground too speedily, and do too
much, there is that moderation in the Housed Commons
that can temper or defeat such precipitation. (A laugh.)
For such • body it was his task to return thanks, and
therefore be had briefly sketched some of the marks he
had observed recently in the House of Commons, end
which he could well describe, because more than half of
his life appeared to be spent in it—indeed, he felt in •
measure identified with it, like the wheel of • great
machine that could not go on without him, or that he
could not go on without it. ("Hear," and • laugh.)
Having observed this identification more especially
during the last month—(a laugh)—he thought he was
well qualified to speak for the body to which he belonged.
(Hear, hear.) Being, then, m fortunate as to have this
representative assembly, the country must see to it that
It did not lag behind the national will, but did its duty,
and was therefore entitled to the compliments which
were paid to It. In the name of the Howe of Commons
he again thanked the company for drinking their health..
