Tau MARKETS.

I.IARK.LAE..—MONbLT.
Considerable firmness prevailed in the crate trade a Math-
lane, in consequence of the unfavourable weather, and an up-
ward tendency WM noticed in prices. From Essex and tent
the receipts of wheat fresh up this morning, coastwise alt
well as by rail were limited, and the quality was only
middling. There was a good attendance of millers, and the
demand ruled firm for all qualities at an ilfiV3llCo of
from 25. to 3, per qr. Really choice samples in
some instances commanded further enhanced rates.
As regsrds foreign wheat, the show of produce
was seasonably good. All descriptions were firmly held, and
an improvement of about 2.. per qr. was generally obtained
Moderate supplies of barley were on sale. The inquiry was
more active at full quotations. Malt sold quietly at late
rates. The market was sparingly supplied with oats. With
a steady demand, rather more 'minty was obtained beans
were firm in value, with a moderate inquiry. Peas, the show
of which was moderate, sold at esteems quotations. Flour
was firm. Country marks were is. per 2,011.15. dearer, and
other qualities ruled high in sympathy. The seed market
was steady, and prices were well maintained.
MARK-LANE.—WIMSESDAT.

In consequence of the more favourable weather the grain
trade at Mark-lane was heavy to-slay. The demand for all
kinds of produce fell off, and the upward movement in prices
was checked. The receipts of wheat from Essex and Kent
were limited. 'lke trade was quiet at about late prices. The
show of foreign wheat was moderate. The transactions were
on a limited scale at Monday's prices. With barley the
market was moderately suoplied. A want of animation
characterised the Inquiry, but prices were without variation.
Malt was inactive, at previous quotations Oats, the show
of which was limited, sold quietly, on former terms.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY.
I There was a falling off in the supply of foreign stock. For
I both beasts and sheep the demand was weaker, at about last
i week's quotations. From our own grazing districts the re-
I ceipts of beasts were less extensive, but the supply included
i some good serviceable animals, although fine stock was
' scarce. The shortness of the supply imparted a tone of
. firmness to the trade, and the best Scots and crosses rea-
lised 53. 84. to 55.10.1 per Sib, but the inquiry was not active.

CONSERVATIVE ANTS CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOC/ATION.—
At a meeting of this association held on Friday, the Pith
lost, the following letter, addressed to menfbors
was read County of Worcester Registration.
The Lodge, Great Malvern, June 14th, 1800. Sir—This
very important subject has for some time past been under
tbe consideration of some of the leaders of the Conser-
vative party, and it has been determined that a fund shall
be raised to meet the expenses of the registration and
other incidental matters, and that the Conservatives
thioughout the county shall be invited to subscribe to !
such fund. I have been requested to not as treasurer,
and in that character beg most respectfully, sad at the
! same time earnestly, to request your kind assistance. I
may perhaps mention that the present steps are taken in
consequence a! the large increase in the constituency in
both divisions of the county. The number of voters in
the county is now increased to 17,000, and I need scarcely
say so large s number has to be dealt with upon a differs
ent basis than when the number was little more than
half what it is now. A thorough and systematic attention
to the reui stration is what is now required and must be
secured, if our cause is to succeed. Oar Conservative
members have signified their intention of contributing
£lOO each to the fund about to be raised, and I sball
gladly receive whatever subscriptions or donations you
may think proper to send rue. I beg to remain, Sir,
your obedient servant, H. E. F. LAMBERT, hon. secretary
and treasurer."

A WIFE'S DEVOTION.

I,!ppincolt's Journal, a New York p per, relates the fol.

lohig
A story is told 14 Lady Beaconsfield's devotion to
her hied and his ambition, which, if true, is a touching
commentary on the un.rlti,lmeo,of w. manly atfecti.
On one occaaion, when Disraeli was Chancellor of the
Exchequer, his wife accompahied hitu to the Parlia-
ment HOllll, It was " Budget" night—the most mo-
mentous of all sessions to the Chancellor ,if the Ex-
chequer, fir he had to tinfoil his financial plans for
the ensuing year to a critical and not too easily satisfied
Honer. Disraeli, as he took his place in the carriage,
was wholly wrapped up in his subject and his figures ;
it was a crisis in his career; if he failed this night,
he might well take Wolsey s advice to Cromwell,
" Fling away ambition !" His wife entered the
carriage also, softly, ai as not to disturb the thinker.
In getting in, however, her finger was caught by
the Ilair, which Anitting upon it. jammed it terribly,
and h--Id it no fast that she could wit withdraw it. Sir
uttered no cry, made no movement ; her pain and
agent., must have iem n intense. There was the finger
crushed between the lauela ; to speak or to endeavour
to withdraw it would disturb her lord—would drive the
figures and arguments from his heal. So there stayed
the finger, every mement more painful, until they
reached dr- House ; nor did Disraeli hear a word of it
till long after the famous debate of that night had
become history. All that evening the faithful wife sat
in the gallery, that her loisband's quick glancing eye
might not miss her from it • she bore the pain like a
martyr and likes woman all.. loves. No wonder that
by her husband's act she has become Viscountess
Beaconsfield, Still less wonder that as Lady Beacons-
field she is honoured in Eindand's proudest castles, aud
has taken her place in the hereditary society as
naturally and easily as if she too had been to the
manner born.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1869-06-26

illous

brought to bear on this difficult question. But P
surely there remains something else? We have to
piny for kings and fin all in authority. Avoiding
empires sounder—he alluded to the separate priGlege
of power which had existed on the part of that grand
profession which at one time or ant ther had done more
good or more evil than any other—the sacred order if
the cleiniy. It was one of the fundamental principles
of the Reformation that henceforth this separate—this
overwhelming power of the clerical order should cease,
and that the eh rgy, like ale r classes of the corm
munity, should neither themselves be controlled nor be
able to control otheni by rules of their own making,
being bound only by those laws which bound the
whole community. That was the meaning of that part
if the Royal Supremacy which declared that
the sovereign was the head and fountain of law, over
all causes and persons, eccluda,tical as well as civil,
within her if minions supreme. The Queen was head
of the Char, Ii because she was the head of
the nation ; the ministers of the Church were, for tne
same reason, ministers also of the nation; the law of the
nation was, 11. r the same reason the law of the Church.
These thing', realised to them all that which was ex-
clusively noted in that day's prayer (the Accession)—
"Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great
dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. 'rake
away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else
may hinder us from godly union and concord; that
as there is but one body and one spirit, and one hope of
our calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God
and Father of us all, sit we may henceforth be all of
one heart, and of one soul, united in. one holy bond
of truth and peace. of faith and charity, and may
with one mind and one mouth, glorify thee, through
Jesus Christ our Lord."

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINA-
TION IN IRELAND.
. .

Another attempt at assassination was made at
Mop:tatty, in the county of Nleath, on Thursday
evening in last a eek. It is stated that the outrage was
not agrarian, but no motive can be atieigned for it.
A correspondent of the Express gives some parti-
culars, from which it apianirs that Carom, the
wounded man, had been in Keils on Thursday after-
noon, and returned hoine about nine o'clock. He was
in the act of opening the gate leading to his dwelling
at the entrance of the demesne of Mr. J. A. Farrell, in
whose service he was steward, when a shot was fired
from a blunderbus, pninted through an aperture made
in a hedge which skirted a plantation at the other side
I.f the road. The weapon had been charged with slugs,
three of which to. effect, one entering his left side
through the ribs, another passing through the left arm,
and the third glancing off his fingers. He VMS able
to reach his house, where a surgeon was promptly in
attendance, and the slugs having been extracted,
Gar,an is now progressing favourably.
The deliberrem malignity of the attempt was illus-
trated by a litt incident. It was found that a tem-
porary fastening had been put upon the gate through
which he was to ester his house, in order that while he
stood to open it the .sassin might have a more certain
aim. It happened that the Ntrategem failed, for Use
gan's wife, feeling uneasy that he did not return as
early OA she expected, went clown to the road to make
inquiries, and removed the fastening.
Information was speedily conveyed to the police, and
seven persons were arrested on suspici,dl who had been
sem gambling on the road, a short distance from the
scene of the out, age, hut who appeared to take no
notice of it. A private investigation was held by the
magistrates, the result of whicn was tnat six of the
party were discharged, and the seventh, a lad, was
remanded for further examination. One of the circum-
stances in evidence affecting him is the fact that some
foot-prints seen about the spit correspond exactly with
the marks in his shoes. He is a son of a herd on
the estate.

June, in a fashionable church near Gramercy-park.

VERDICT FOR A RAILWAY COMPANY.

In the Court of Common Pleas the cause of "hinder C.
the North London Railway Comp ,ny " haa been tried, mot
was an action to recover damages for injuries sustained
thr, xmit tallitg out of a railway carriage while it was Pastin4
along the defendants' line.
The plaintiff was a working carpenter, and on the
everting of Saturday, the 7th November last, he was
travelliog with Ins wife from Dalston to Camden Town,
At Caledonian-road a young man got into the trsin,
and shortly afterwards the plaiotiff was asked to shut
the door or the window, but whether it was the one or
the other was a matter in dispute. He was stout to
carry out this request, when the door flow open and he
fell upon the line. The principal injury suffered was a
serious hurt to the right arm.
The Mad,. for the defendants Wilt 01.,, I hey herl been
guilty of no negligence, that et C -donian-road the
hanah if the carriage doors V. r, all fastened, nal Ilia
gnarl cave the signal and the train was startsil in till
usual way.
As to this the plaintiff's counsel argued that either
the d. or must have been loft unfasten. 41, or that to t
sufficient rare was taken to prevent the paling Man
from getting into the carriage when the train was
in motion, and that in either case there would be negli-
gence on the pan of the company. On the other hand
it was contended that there t ould be no doubt that the
plaintiff was about to shut the door and that the acci-
dent could not possibly have happened without want
of core on his part.
The case came on for trial on a former occa.ion,
but the jury were unable to agree and they were dis-
charged without having given a verdict. After the
matter had been cousiderra for upwards of an hour,
the verdict was for the defendants.—Hia lordship
, expressed his concurrence with the verdict.

:MPORTANT TO PUBLICANS AND
AUCTIONEERS. _

The cause'!' Rass v Homewood " has hiym tried The
defendant was a furniture dealer, in Cross-street, Islington,
Lot dot,
The action was bromht, for the recovery of the value
of a tablet or trade label and frame, belonging to the
plaintiff,. It appear' that the plaintiffs, like other
brewers, have a tablet which they lend to publicans who
(ham, and which advertises the fact that
their beer is sold in the house where it is exhibited.
The defendant purchased the tablet in question
at an auction lade of the effects of a publican,
and exposed it in his shop for sale. Two 4,f the
clerks of the plaintiffs, passing his shop, noticed the
tablet, and informed bias it was the property (4 Messrs.
Bass. and aim called Isis attention to a printed notice
on the back 44 the tablet stating that it was 9.4111 always
would remain their property. Shortly afterwards the
nubdranager of Messrs. Ila+s called on the defendant.
and was informed by the defendant that he had sold
the tablet. The object of the present action was not
merely to recover th- value of this sir.gle tablet, but,
in consequence 44 the plaintiff+ having lost so many of
them, to settle the la wills in the so! .jectan.l give publicity
to the fact that their tablets bekng entirely to Messrs.
Bass and Co., and that puhlicans and auctioneers had
no right to deal with them. This was sufficiently estab-
lished by a verdict big given for the plaintiff. s

THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

e cannot but think that Conservatives and
Liberals, Protestants and Catholics are alike to
' be congratulated on the Irish Church Bill having ,
been read a second time in the House of Lords.
We do not ace how their lordships could well
have taken any other course. The House of
Lords is not nominally a representative cham-
ber, hut it professes to legislate in accordance
with the will of the nation, and fur the benefit
of the country at large. Now the feeling of the
country was unmistakeably displayed, during
the recent general election, in favour of disestab-
lishing and disendowing the church of the mi-
nority in Ireland; the House of Commons was
returned to do this work; the Government was
pledged to do it; and it was done accordingly,
as far as the representative house was concerned.
The Lords, therefore, have accepted the situa-
tion which they did not make and could not
avoid. In doing this, however, they by no
means commit themselves to the details of the
bill, and they will undoubtedly propose consid-
erable modifications in it. Always provided that
the hill he not seriously mutilated or weakened,
it will be well, perhaps, if the Government and
the House of Commons be not too exacting in
matters of detail. The grand object now is to
pass the bill, so that this vexed and irritating
question may be set at rest. It has too long
troubled the peace both of Ireland and Eng-
land.

CRADLEY.

MILITARY FUNERAL—II will be remembered by sonic
of our readers that on the 31st ultimo an accident hap
peued to a number of the Hillesowen Rifle Corps, as they
were returning home from Battalion Drill, at Dudley.
As oar readers will recollect, the cart in which they were
riding, by some means or other got upset, and several of
them were seriously hurt. In the ease of Aaron Bing-
ley, who was woundel in the head, the W 0111.6 proved
fatal, and notwithstanding all that medical skill could
suggest he died on the 10th instant, and was buried at
Cradley Church, on Sunday last. The Rifle Corps, un-
der the command of "Japtain Homfray, mar died to the
house where the deceased lay, and its body was carried
shoulder high by seine of the members to the church.
Some thousands of peeple in their gay summer attire
were assembled to view the procetdir gs, The churchyard
was literally crammed, and from the manner of the peo-
ple it seemed as if they had assembled at a picnic party.
or some other social gathering, instead of a lasers!; no
solemnity at all was manifested. The members of the
corps went into church, where a very suitable sermon
was preached by the Rev. C. Sheddon, curate of the
place. The body was then carried to the grave, and the
ri g party having assumed their position, standings
arise reversed, the solemn service appointed for such oc-
casions was read in part by the Revs. J. Thouipsou and
C. Sheeldou. At its conclusion, three volleys were fired
over the grave, and, as the churchyard occupies a very
prominent position, the sound of the firing was heard at
a great distance. The Corps then re-formed, and marched
to their place of drill, where they were dismissed by
their Ceptai a.

ROMANTIC DIVORCE CASE.

A strange case, more romantic than these usually din> 5,4
of by Indian judges, has been heard by the Allahabid Iligh
Court iu its divorce and matrimonial jurisdiction.
The plaintiff, Mrs. Kelly, who sought for restitution.
of conjugal rights, but subseluently for a judicial
separation, with alimony, said that the respondent bad
married ber in Ireland in 1555, and after three weeks
bad abandoned her, leaving no trace behind him.
About fourteen years after she heard of him in India,
but when she arrived at Allahabad he would have
nothing to say to her.
Mr. Kelly, the respondent, said that he had first
become acquainted with the petitioner at an inn, in
the county of Roscommon, of which her brother was
the keeper. Shortly after he moved to another neigh.
bourhood, when her brother told him that there were
very scandalous reports abroad respecting his sister,
and that he should do something to clear the girl's
character. He succeeded in satisfying the brother that
there was no foundation for the reports ; but the girl's
father and her friends would not be satisfied, and even-
tually, at the peril of his life, compelled him to proceed
to church, and go through the marriage ceremony with
her. They then kept him locked up with her for a
week, but he eventually escaped, and came away to
India.
The arguments turned on both sides as to proof of
marriage, and the Court postponed the case for six
months, awarding for the time 80 rs. a month alimony
to the wife.

A VERY SAD END!

An Inquest has been held, at Taunton, on the body of John
C. ('ruickshank, a member of the Ito) al college of Surgeons,
at which the following melancholy facts were elicited—
On the 25th of last month the deceased applied to
the police superintendent at Taunton for an order for
a night's lodging in the union, on the plea of destitu.
tion, which he obtained. He told the superintendent
to put him down as a clerk, and said that he had been
connected with mines. He called himself John Grant,
thirty-two years of age, and asked the superintendent
if he thought he should do for the force, but when he
was told that good conduct was indispensable he held
down his head.
The deceased lodged occasionally at a puh:ic-honse
in East-street, and on the fatal night he went to bed as
usual. In the evening a groan was heard, and deceased
was found on his face on the floor, the master of the
house remarking that he (deceased) was very tipsy.
Medical testimony went to show that the deceased died
of acute inflammation of the brain, at the Taunton and
and Somerset HospitaL
It transpired during the inquiry the deceased had sold
several articles for sustenance, and that a letter written
to Mr. Covernton, surgeon of Knighton, by Dr.
Cornish, a friend of the deceased, had elicited from that
gentleman that the deceased had been his assistant, and
that he was so addicted to drinking that he dared not
trust him; but he believed insanity to be hereditary in
the family. Documents given by the deceased to his
landlady showed him to have been surgeon tinder Rajah
Brooke, and the following memorandum was found in a
pocketsbook
Some men are born vagabonds, some achieve vagabondage,
and others have it thrust upon them. I may characterise
myself as one of the last class It was at Bristol that Iliad
my first experience of vagabondage. I found myself there
weary and sore-footed, after having walked thirty-six nide'.
I was obliged to confess myself a vagabond, pure and simple.
I I hail racked my brains in trying to devise some means of
obtaining food and shelter, but I could not. Having genie of
resp,ctable parents, and having occupied a tic position in
society, my soul revolted against applying to the police-
station, and being confided to the leader mercies of the
Tinton AS a vagrant or tramp. Shop after shop was shut up,
' Hideous thoughts of highway robbery took possession of me.
I glared at every well-deemed man with an ostentatious
watchfulness. To beg I was ashamed.
The verdict was in accordance with the medical

testimony.

BREACH OF PROMISE AT THREE-
SCORE-AND-TEN !

At Turriff Small Debts Court, a case which has
excited great interest—being the first breach of promise
case tried at this court— was decided. A woman named
Mitchell, belonging to the parish of Le.lie, sued
William Oldman, a tailor in Fyvie, forkl2 of damages,
in consequence of defender having engaged to marry
pursuer and failed to do so. The case came up at last
court, and was continued for the appearance of the
pursuer.
The appearance of the parties in court caused much
merriment to the numerous spectators, Oldman being
over seventy years of age, leaning on a staff, and
evidently weakly both in body and mind; his would-be
wife was a decent-looking country woman, between
forty and fifty years of age. The cage was gone into at
great length, but before going into the merits the
sheriff gave defender a last chance of closing the
case by taking the lady. "Are you quite sure you
won't have her yet, old gentleman ?" The "old
gentleman" declined the offer, and witnesses werethen
called.
A plea of insanity was set up for the defender, and
two medical gentlemen were brought to support it;
, but one of them limited his evidence to Oldman's being
I imbecile to a degree that rendered him incapable of
managing his affairs, and the other merely considered
him of a weakly nature. It appeared that the parties
had only met three times before the banns were pro-
claimed, and no attempt was made to deny that the
Promise of marriage had been made. A couple of
clergymen, who bad tried to arrange a compromise,
were also examined, the one stating that the defender
was not capable of managing his affairs, or in a fit con-
dition to be married, and the other deponing as strongly
on the other side, and adding that he would have mar.
fled him without any hesitation.
The sheriff toted for the pursuer, but as she seemed
reach better without her hushand, he thought 20.,.
would cover all the loss she had sustained. He did
not attach much importance to what had been said
about defender being weak-minded as many weak-
minded people got married. (Laughter.) Decreet for
CI and expenses accordingly.

PUNCH ASKS A QUESTION.

Another terrible colliery explosion! Sixty men
killed or injured at Ferndale, where, in 1867, 175 poor
fellows were destroyed by the fatal firedamp "It is
supposed," says the report of the lesstr catastrophe,
"that a man had opened his safety lamp to light his
pipe, and thus exploded the firedamp."
Punch refers to these calamities in order to ask a
question. Could not that powerful illuminator, the
Magnesium light, be employedin coal mines, and there-
by remove all FLAME from close proximity to the
"workings"? Safety Magnesium lamps placed in dif-
ferent parts of a mine would be costly, no doubt, but
the consumer would pay the charge, and every fire
would burn the brighter when it was known that the
\coals had been obtained with lessened danger to the
poor miner.—Pands.
