he was what they termed a begging mason—one who
made begging his profeaelon, also that he had obtained
money by falsehood from the secretary of the lodge at
Havant. He gave him into custody on a charge of
begging.—Prismer said he paid his money to be made
a Mason 96 years ago, He fold no right he thought to
tell the magistrate the secrets f the craft, but their

the body, and on evidence of identification having been
given, the coroner suggested that as the facts had

THE BURIALS BILL

The Archbishm of Canterbury at Dover, cn Tuesday
said they had been fortunate in hal Mg the burial question
made the subject of lesklation under the auspices of a
Lord Chancellor of whom no one doulded that he had
given In the courPe of his life the sirongeat possible
Pled. ea of his devoted attachment to the Kitablisbed
Church. He greatly prised the retention of the clause
which provided that all cervices in their churchyards
should he Christian se well as orderly. He WU also glad
the the right of the chrAy was maintained in the church-
yard an to its general care and superintendence. He was
also glad that, if they could state plain reason. for object-
ing, they might refuse to allow funerals on
Sundays and certain °tilt r holy days. As a measure
directly supporte I by at least one-half of the
Episcopalian bench as necessary and rght under the
eirrumstauces in which they found themselves, and
acquiesced in, however unwillingly, by the great majority
of the Bishops as inevitable, it could rv.t be so unwise and
bad as some excited spirits had represented it to be. His
own hope was that it would serve to strengthen the Church,
by removing a most painful cause of controversy which
had been in men's mouths now for many years, uniting
with them more closely in death those whom unfortunate
circumstances had alienated in their lifetime from the
benefisent ministrations of the Church of their fathers.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON
AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

FOUR. PERSONS KILLED AND THIRTY
INJURED.

A terrible accident occurred on Satards/ night on
the London and South Western Railway, which was
attend. I with loss of life and injury to • large number
of passengers. The train to which the accident
happened was the one timed to leave Viraterlons
station, London,at ten o'tlock p.m. for Hampton-court,
where it shoal I arrive at twenty minutes to eleven
o'clock on Saturday night. The train left as usual,
and passed all right thron2h Vauxhall-station, but on
nearing the New Qnsen's-road-station it came into
collision with an engine, which, it is said by a mistake
of the pointamen, had not been shuntei into the
adjacent sheds. and which at I hat time should have
been clear of the down line. The result of the collision
was to drive the empty engine some distance along the
line, throwing the locomotive of the Hampton-court
train off the metals, and smashing the first
carriage,
which was one of the new third-classl-
carriages, an it was in this carriage that the most
seriously injured of the passengers were riding
It is calculated that at least 30 persons were more or
less injured, though not more than about 11 or 12 so
much so as to render their conveyance to the hospital
necessary. Mr. Gardener, one of the company's as-lit-
ant superintendents, was in the ill-fated train, and
escaped uninjured. He at once set to work to procure
assistance and help the sufferers. By stopping • down
train on another line he was able to convey the pitmen-
gees to Clapham Junction, where every care was taken
of the injured, until the doctors he had wired for
arrived on the spot. They were afterwards forwarded
to Waterloo by special train, and those who were
bodily injured were conveyed to the hospital. Four
deaths have occurred, including the fireman of the
Hampton-court train, and the engine-driver wig injured.
Close by the railway bridge resided' Kr. Heroock, a
jarrisr, His daughter, age! 17, was standing at her
dressin2 table in her bedroom reading a letter, when •
crash of falling debris broke through the ceiling, and a
stream of scalding water propelled from the engine
came pouring through, seriously injuring her. The
force of the collisi tn mty be measured by the fact
that the buffer of the engine was broken off and thrown
against the wall of Mr. Heroock's house with snob
force that the wall was broken in. The buffer
of the passenger en4ine was projected Into the garden
of the house, as were two doors of third-class carriages.
Very few ladies were in the krain, and none were
known to be injured. The train. as far at can be
ascertained, coedited of about nine caniaitue
A passenger, named Morris, had his right leg
amputated on Sundalair:y the sufferers are going on
well. The line was by seven o'clock Sunday
morning.

FRUIT HOUSSL

Orchard llouses.—lt will be necessary now to see that
the trees are well prepared, if they have to ba forced. If
they were potted as they ought to have been, and as
advised at the time, the pots will now be well fidsd with
roots, sail all that the trees have to do is to mature their
buds for next mason. If the leaves have fallen off through
red-spider or any other cause, it will be much thaitist
them, but if well furnished with leaves, and the buds are
prominent, I would advise their being placed in a sunny
podtion out of doors this fine weather—the heavy dews
at eiaht and the hot weather seem to suit them admir.
ably. Da not stand the pots on the ground where worms
can get into them by the bottom hole. Our plan, whether
the trees are in or out of doors, is to lay two bricks on
the ground and to stand the pot on them with the bole
between the brick. This allows the air to pass under-
neath the pot, and is, I ferny. beneficial. If the trees are
late potted bear in mind that a very gentle lalttont•best
will cause early root-action to correspond with the gentle
heat required to start the buds. I do not advise root-
action from bottom-heat unless there is a corresponding
warm atmosphere from the tsp. I need not ray that now
lithe time to cleakthe leaves from infect pests, end the
stems from brown kale.

In the late house there are still fruit on trees of the late
varieties. It would be well for raisers to give their attest.
tion to raising later varieties of nectarines than we It
present posress The Victoria is just now ripening, but
we hive no hair variety than this. Could flowers of it
be croosed with the vers. late pea .hee It. very prodable
tbet goo I nectarines would be raised from the cruse. The
early laird Napier neziariue and the Victoria are grand
recent introduetions, and will long keep the name of the
late Mr. Rovers in remembrance. I would urge the
portauce of repotting to fruit trees of aq kin's, if th .y
require it, as lion as the fruit is gathered. IL is no uee
potting in viiry light sandy loam, as they do not
succeed in this material. Yellow loam, on which our
ordinary native heaths will thrive, answers well. It has
been reoomeatinled ta mix a portion of chalk in the roil
if it does taut contain this naturally ; this I hare dune in
the case wh -re good I em did not contain chalk, but there
war no difference in the result. A fourth part of rich
manure should be intv.d with the loam, and if it is well
rammed in the result will be saLuitietory.

MR. GLADSTONK'S LETTER TO COUNT
KAR.OLYI.

A prodigious pother is of course being made about
this Incident by the Beaconsfield organs, and some of
the more vulgar are screaming that the Premier has
eaten his words. Mr. Gladstone has done nothing of
the kind, as any one may see for himself. The Prime
Minister suffered himself to be misled by statements
which appeared in Conservative journals, more ardent
in catching votes for Lord Beaconsfield than in rover-
sacs for truth; and as the fictions have been exposed
and contradicted, he has frankly expressed regret at
having hurt the susceptibilities of the Austrian
Emperor. There were errors, in fact, on both sides.
Count Karolyi admits that his master, in conversing
with Sir Henry Elliott, attributed to Mr. Gladstone
a hostile disposition towards Austria. Mr. Gladstone,
who disclaims any such disposition, feared that the
Court of Vienna contemplated further aggression in the

Indeed, if each had been more careful to make sure of

But it is fair to remember that the first offender was
not Mr. Gladstone. Nor will Englishmen be inclined
to strongly condemn a statesman who speaks his mind
freely about the shortcomings of a military potentate,
and who has the manliness to apologise when his indig-
nation has carried him too far.—Bristol Post.

ROWING MATCHES —The opsaing of the Bourne-
mou h Rowing Club was celebrated on Thursday
I evening by ame galley and skiff races. Mr. C. Gibbs
(secretary) acted as starter and umpire, and the
' course was from a boat moored off the club house to
I the steps eastward of the pier and back. In all the
; races the competitors consisted of "scratch crews"
and had never rowed together before. The lint
; contest was a galley race for junior oarsman. Two
' boats atoned—namely, the Empress an 1 the Alice.
The crew of the Empress consisted of Messrs. Dixon,
C. C. Toffs, A. Atkinson, W. Burch, and J. Turner
, (pox), whilst the Alice was manned by H. Price,
I Hayward, P. Hunt, R. H. Bishop, and G. Mc
1 William (cox). The race was a good one, and was
won by the Empress by about three lengths. The
next WA • race for senior skiffs, for which
three catered, and were manned respectively by J.
Hayter and J. Thompson, J. A. Netherooate and a
A. Garrett, W. Termer and Thomas. Horn
secured first plan and Nethero ate second.—The next
match was for junior skiffs, for which two boats
entered, and was won by about four lengths by Mesas.
Hunt and Bishop.—The Loy race was for four-oared
galleys, rowed by senior oarsmen. The beats compet-
ing were the Empress and the Star of the South. The
former, manned by H. A. Garrett, I. A. Nothom".. tei

the winner. The second boat shipped • quantity of
