VISCOUNTESS BEACONSFIELD.

The Queen has conferred a peerage on Mrs. Disraeli,
under the title of Viscountess Beaconsfield, of Beacons-
field, in the county of Bucks. It is stated that Mr.
Disraeli declined a peerage for himself. The John Bull
than warmly eulogises the new peeress :
Never has her Majesty done a more popular act—rarely
so graceful a one—as in making Sire. Disraeli a peereas in
her own right. The great champion of Church mid State
could not be spared Dom the House of Commons for ninny a
lone year, and the Queen rightly felt that to wait till lie
! might retire as Earl of linglientlen, to the calmer atmo-
sphere of the house of Lords, before she expresaed her
sense of hai disthiguished services, would be a slight on the
services he has rendered the Crown awl nation amidst un-
paralleled difficulties anti unscrupulous opposition. It Is a
trite remark that great men have very often commonplace
wives, but the history of modern English statesmen would
seem to disprove it. The influence Lady Palmerston ex-
ercised on the political world waa very considerable ; and it
Mrs. Disraeli and Mrs. Gladstone have made their influence
less directly felt, both we believe to have shared most cum-
metely in the sorrows and joys of their husband's varying
fortunes. None who heard Mr. Diaraelik speech at the great
Edinburgh banquet, in which he said he owed all his success
in life to his wife, and Mr. Bane Cochrane's testimony to her
virtues, can doubt that amidst the unceasin g harass of a states-
man's life, especially clone who has risen by his own exertiona
and has had to encounter untiring jealousy, Mrs. Disraeli has
been the judicious adviser, the ministering angel, of the
statesman whose merits an admiring posterity, If not envious
contemporaries, will appreciate.

DEAN STANLEY ON "PARTY:'

On Sunday afternoon, Dean Stanley preached to a
vast congregation of Westminster Abbey, on the words
'Let both grow together until the llama." Having ex-
plaitied the reasons why the word " Catholic " was
added to the Creed, he deprecated the use of party
names either in politics or religion, for everyone knew
that all these names had lost the meaning which was
originally attached to them. He did not deny the
necessity there was for party, nor, indeed, some of
the advantages which arose out of it--a State
without party, or a Church without dissensions
and differences, would not be a living thing. Such
dead Churches and States there were, but neither
the State of England nor the Church of England
was one of them. The great duty of the people was to
see that these differences were not pushed to extremes
or excess, remembering that, after all, these divisions
were artificial and superficial, rather than deep and
permanent. Let them look to the names by which
any of these parties were designated—either political
or religious—he could not attempt to enumerate the
long catalogue; but how trivial they were in their
origin, how shifting in their meaning, how difficult to
fit into the actual fact.; of the case. Party watch-
words like party colours, changed from generation to
generation until at length they were without any in-
telligible appreciation of their meaning, the evident
differences being found amongst those who know the
least and talked the loudest. The result of all this, how-
ever, should not be to lessen any man's interest in
Church or State, but should make him not the less
eager to defend what he considered good, or to reform
what he believed to be evil. None should be unduly
anxious for fear of the things that were coming upon
the earth, but rather hopeful knowing that the night
was far spent, and that day was at hand. The dean
mad the question how the tares were eventually to be
divided from the wheat—a subject which the text sug-
gested—was too wide to be dealt with then, and he
would reserve its consideration for a future oppor-
tunity.

A STRANGE STORY.

A correspondent sends the Morning Star the follow.
in, which be says has recently arrived from Madras,
and is vouched for by a European officer who was on a
visit to the nobleman referred to when the letter was
received. It was handed over to him for translati:m
into the native tongue which he at once did, "evi-
dently to the consternation of the native hearers."
Whoever the member of the fair sex may be who per-
petrated such a piece of folly, the most charitable
construction to be frit upon it is that she is a fit sub-
ject for the lunatic asylum of the Cornwall district,
In Madras no doubt was entertained at the genuine-
ness of the documents :

"To his Majesty the Maharajah o 1--, Southern India.
" %fay it please your Majesty,—l am a young lady of highly
respectable connections ; my papa WO mama ore both
dead, and I am now residing with a minister whose name is
Rev.—, lam twenty-one years of age, and have some
property, and am anxious to be married to some one very
high anti rich—a king is what I want and as you have been
t. highly spoken of in the newspapers—la few words here are
almost illegible, but they look like' there inform 'J
—that you
are a very rich, noble, good, gentleman, you will pardon me,
I hope, fig wishing to ask you whether you have any
matrimonial engagement ; mid, if not, whether you would
he willing to correspond with me with a view to marriage.
If we could agree, I should not object to come out to
India and reside in your palace with you as my
husband, where we could have plenty of servants to
wait upon us end plenty of money to live upon. Will you
be kind enough to let me know by the return of post what
you think of this my proposal, whether it exactly meets with
your views, and if so, when we could be married? I should
wish to know in time to have all ready for the voyage to
India, and for my marriage when! art teed there, unless you
would lie pleased to conic to England for me, and then we
could go tort together. This would be very nice indeed ;
lint I shall not make any further arrangements till such time
nil boor from you. Hoping to hear from you when the
mail returns from India, I am yours most truly, J—
AI—. Cornwall, England, augnst 25, Pain."
•

. .
To this is attached the letter of the mininter, as
follows : a
"I hereby state that I have known Miss Intimately
for four years past, and have always found her to be a very
nice, amiable, kind, and excellent young lady. She has
lived with us more than twelve months, so we knew what an
excellent wife she would be to any gentleman who could
have her. Site is well educated, having studied music and
several languages ; she is piously dizposed, and a member
of Imr church, which she has been for several years. tier
parents were very highly respectable, and as they are now
dyad :he has control over all the property belonging ti her.
Shou:dany more infloramtion be required, I shall be glad to

THE IRON TRADE.

WoLVERItAMPTON, tredttedday.

There was a more business aspect about the
meeting of iron and coal masters on 'Change
here to-day than has Leen observed for ....coke
past. Now that the elections are over, there
is a manifest disposition to settle down to wort
in earnest. Negotiations srel therefore, on
which must result in transactions of an en-
couraging nature, alike in pigs and finished iron
-
At the same time, there are mills and forges
where less time is now being worked than for
the last two months. Prices of finished iron are
unsatisfactory, but in the pig iron department
they are decidedly improving.

There has been no special alteration in the
state of the trade since our last report. There
was a good attendance at the Exchange on
Thursday, and it was stated that the works are
pretty well occupied, but that the orders coming
in have somewhat slackened during the last
week. It is not improbable that tilers'+ may be a
lull for the next few weeks. hut nothing to give
rise to any uneasiness. The advance of the
Bank rate to three per cent. has probably caused
people to think a lAN and pouse; but really
there is nothing to interfere with the returning
healthy action of the trade.

£1,250 DAMAGES!

'
The cause of "Paul and Wife v. the Great Western
Railway Company" hasbeen tried, and was an action
for personal injuries. The defendants admitted their
negligence, and had paid one shilling into court, as
sufficient to meet the plaintiffs' case.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Cowie were counsel
for the plaintiffs; Mr. Huddieston, Q C., and Mr.
Jell appeared for the defendants.
The female plaintiff is the wife of a surgeon, who
had been for some time in practice in Burton-cres-
cent, London, and she was the mother of three
children. On the evening of the 16th October, 1667,
about nine o'clock, she went in company with a friend
to Moorgate,treet Station, and entered one of the
carriages. Shortly after she felt a violent shock,
and she was thrown forward, striking her head with
great violence. She was taken out insensible,
and conveyed home, where she remained in that state
until between twelve and one o'clock the following day.
Her nervous system had been greatly shaken, and
paralysis had attacked one side. In April last epilepsy
set in, and her brain was affected, and there was no
chance of her ever recovering from the serious injuries
she had sustained.
Just before the came was called on, Mrs. Paul had two
severe fits of epilepsy, and she had to be taken out of
court, and her state was such that it was impossible for
her to undergo the excitement of a public examination.
There appeared to be great doubt when she would be
in a fit state to give her evidence, and the case had to
proceed without her.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs,

A COURAGEOUS CONVICT.

An extraordinary act of courage has just been
performed at Tenez, a seaport about eighty miles to
the west of Algiers (says (Jalignani). At a distance
of half a mile from the shore is a small rocky islet
about forty yards in diameter, which is to be united to
the main land by a jetty, and on which a number of
workmen are employed. One day last week, a gale
sprang up, and raged with suck violence that the men
could not be brought back to land. For two days, the
storm was still unabated, and no boat nor vessel could
live at sea. The men still remained in the same
perilous position, until the captain of the port, fearing
that they would perish of hunger, proposed that a
man should swill. 'out with a line to establish a com-
munication with the rock. A military convict, named
Dumain, aged twenty-nine, volunteered to perform
this service, and having had a eyed attached to his
waist boldly entered the water. For more than half
an hour the people on shore, in breathless suspense,
watched him struggling with the waves, but at length
all anxiety wasremoved by seeing him reach the islet.
A short time after the men had received provisions,
and on the following day, the sea having calmed down
a little, they could at length be brought to land.
Dullish', who had been condemned to fifteen years hard
labour for striking an officer, had only 22 months yet
to serve, having already by his good conduct obtained
a remission of seven years; there is little doubt that
for this act of heroism he will receive a free pardon.
The Archbishop of Algiers, who was two days after
at Tense, had the man presented to him and congratu-
lated him in public.

"ALBERT MEMORIAL CHAPEL,"
WINDSOR CASTLE.

Within the last few days several of the grand
marble tableaux executed An inlaid work by Baron
Triqueti, and intended for the decoration of the
Albert Memorial Chapel, have arrived at Windsor
Castle. Two of these beautiful works of art have been
placed in their proper isisitions on the south wall of the
interior of the ChapeL The first to be noticed is that
contributed by Princess Louis of Hesse. The subject
is Pharaoh creating Joseph Viceroy of Egypt. The
Egyptian King and Queen are represented sitting upon
a throne in the palace, and the monarch is placing a
jewelled chain and badge around the neck of Joseph,
while an attendant officer is arraying the newly-created
viceroy with a mantle. Next to l'rincess Alice's gift
is a bas relief, in white marble, of Ruth gleaning in
the fields of Boaz, who stands watching the Moabites
gathering the fallen ears. The next tableau upon
the south wall is the offering of the firstborn of the
Queen and the Prince Consort. It is the victure pre-
sented by the Crown Princess of Prussia. rhe subject
elected for Princess Victoria's tableau is "Jacob
blessing the sons of Joseph." There is the tent with
the aged patriarch seated. Before him kneels the sons
of Joseph, and his hands—for he is in the act of blessing
them- -rest upon them. This touching scene in the early
history of Israel is beautifully rendered. Above the tab-
leau is a marble bas-relief portrait of the Crown Princess
of Prussia, surrounded by the inscription, "Victoria
ii-tat. s. xxAiii.," in gold letters upon a black ground,
and beneath it is the motto, "Live and l'iety." Only
a portion of the Princess of \Vales' offering has yet
reached the castle. The medallion portrait in white
marble has around it the inscription, " Alexantlna sAtat.
s. xxiii." This, with the other portions of the border,
has arrived safely, and the tableau itself is shortly
expected.

DEATH OF M. DEEMER.

The illness under which this eminent French ad-
vocate has been suffering for some time, and which
caused a premature announcement of his decease,
has at last proved fatal. M. Berryer died on Sun-
day mornin, at his seat at Angerville, in his 79th
year.
The career of this eminent man is identified with the
political convulsions which France has passed through
from the restoration of the Bourbons to the present
hour. Ilourbonists and Orleanists, Bonapartiit and
Republicans, the party of the philosophers and the
party of the priests, all sought his help as they succes-
sively Caine under the frown of authority, and were
made amenable to law, and all found in him an able,
an energetic, a conscientious, and a brilliant defender.
And while he was ever reaAly- to extend the shield of
his brilliant forensic talents to men ‘.f all opinions,
however extreme, his own views were of the most
decided character. No attempt ever was made to
change them, and nothing but his own wise moderation
saved him from requiring the same help for himself
which he so freely extended to others. He was through
life the devoted adherent of a fallen cause. Other
parties had their days of hope and temporary success;
but from 1830 to the present hour the fallen dynasty
of the Legitimist Bourbons has never had a gleam of
returning favour or affection on the part of the people;
but it could always count on the loyalty and devoted
services of M. Berryer.
The deceased was the son of a distinguished advocate
of the Paris bar, and was born in Paris in January,
• 1790. Influenced by his education at the establish-
ment of Oratorians of Juilly, he would have wished to
! enter the priesthood, but in obedience to the wishes of
his father he consented to go to the bar. Having

Passing over himself—in other words, Burpasping
himself —Mr. Disraeli has placed the strawberry-leaf

coroneftino, act must win the esteem of his bitterest
foes. We well knew before that he had "educated"
his party; but here he teaches us all a lesson—easy,
but inipresave ; simple, but sublime. Great as may
have been his just pride over his many triumphs, we
venture to believe that it altogether pales before the
ecstasy of honouring her who has been the very hey.
stone in the arch of his success—who has added to his
happiness its sweetest zest, and taken from his sorrows
their bitterest pang ! When men shall contemplate
the title now bestowed, and reflect .11 the career of
him—no, of those—who so worthily earned it, they
will most assuredly see in both less of the "Beacon"
than of the " Guide/ "—Judy.

good character," the jury recommended him "to
the leniency of the court." The sentence on the mate
was four months' imprisonment, on the captain eighteen
months', being the minimum penalty which the law
allows. From this we deduce the moral that, provided
a prisoner can show that he has once borne a good
character and been esteemed for his piety, he may
afterwards commit "culpable homicide" without the
dread of merited punishment at the hands of a Scotch

A LADY SUED FOR BREACH OF
PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.

An Inquiry has taken place before the boater of the Court
of Queen's Bench in Dublin, and a jury of six, to assess
damages In an action which was brought to recover com.
pensatma laid at £S,OOO, for breach of promise of marriage.
The plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Jackson Marks, lived
near Artier, in the county of Louth, and in MO, he
entered into an engagement to marry the female de-
fendant, Mrs. Rowland, then Miss Smith, who also
lived in the county of Louth. After some time the
engagement was broken off, and the plaintiff then
went to New Westminster, in British Columbia.
While_ there a correspondence was opened between
hint anti Miss Smith, which led to a renewal of the
marriage engagement. The letters that passed were of
the most affectionate character, and prophesied the
happiness the parties would enjoy when the engage.
mmit was ratified. In August, :Wri, the plaintiff
sal I,tf the farm in Columbia to come home ta ket
marrb 1. When he reached Canada. a letter awaited
him fr. m Miss Smith, stating that she really could
not love him, that the supposed affection was a mis-
take, and that the engagement must be broken off.
She shortly afterwards married Mr. Rowland, who
wrote to the plaintiff, stating that he had long pos.
se:sed the affections of the young lady. The letters
between the parties were read to the jury, and tne in-
jury to the plaintiff by the lady's recession from her
engagement commented on. It was alleged that the
plaintiff disposed of his farm, and left Columbia only
because he expected to marry the defendant. The
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £2OO.

marria-at the early age of twenty-one, 13.1iii—mtila'a to
conquer a brilliant position was stimulated, and in that
object he soon succeeded by his natural eloquence.
which in a very short time attracted attention.
Following the example of his father, he attached him-
self to the cause of the fallen Bourbons, and having M.
the glom of the empire anticipated events by a few
days in displaying the white cockade and proclaiming
tie downfall of 'Napoleon 1., in presence of the pro-
fessors and pupils of the School of Lou at Rennes, his
arrest was ordered, and he was forced to take refuge at
Nantes. He, however, subsequently protested in his
pleadings against the severities of the I:Um-Royalists,
and was one of the defenders of Ney and Catubronue.
He was returned to the Chamber of Deputies
for the Haute-Loire early in 1830, and was
shortly afterwards offered a post of under-secretary.
This, however, he declined, saying that it
was "Too much or too little." After the Revo-
lution of July he remained in Prance defending
the former dynasty and opposing all the measures that
tended to consolidate the new monarchy; but, on the
other hand, he employed all his efforts to prevent
the rising in La Vend& attempted by the Duchees de
Berry; he was nevertheless implicated, and being
arrested was tried before the Court of Assims of Blohs
but acquitted. He was one of the members who in-
clined the censure of the Chamber by visiting Charles
N.. in Itelgrave-square. In 1848 he was elected in the
Bouches-du-Rhone, and formed part of the electoral
committee of the Rue de Poitier ; he also took an
active part is the meeting of the 10th arrondissement,
which 4111 the *cession of the coup &kat proclaimed
the fall of the President Prince Louis Napoleon 4
From that time down to 1863, when he re-entered the
Legislative Body, the only part he had taken in
public affairs was his participation in the attempts to
bring about a fusion between the two branches of the
Bourbons. In the midst of all the political agitations
of his epoch he still found time to be the first advo-
cate at the Paris bar, and many of his pleadings 00
both civil and criminal affairs are in all collections.
His disinterestedness in his profession is well known,
and at one moment he was compelled by pecuniary
emlarassments to dispose of his estate of Angerville-
ladliviiTe, but it was restored to him by a spon-
taneous subscription anwng his friends and admirers.
Ile was elected a member of the French Academy in
1854, and on that occasion abstained from making
the customary visit to the chief of the state. The
eloquence of M. Berryer was marked by elevation of
! ideas, nobility of language, and impetuosity of move-
ment, all of which qualities were aided by a most har-
mnious voice.
