NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Her Majesty remains at Windsor Castle and was
visited on Saturday by the mpress EUVICIII. The
King and Queen of the Belgians are in the
metropolis, but they go about an quietly se any
ordinary gentleman and lady, and no attempt
Is made to entertain them as Royal vieitors are
entertained at St. Petersburg and Vienna. On
Friday their Majesties visited Bethnel-green
museum. The Prime of Wales as Chief Gom-
miesioner of the British department, and Prime
Arthur, were present at the ceremony of open-
ing the Vienna exhibition on May-day, and will
return home on the 21st, when the Kin and
Queen of Denmark, accompanied by their
daughter, MOONS Thyra, am coming to this
country on • visit to the Prime and Princess of
Wales. The only Court festivities announced
are a State Cowen, on Wednesday, the 14th
inst., and • State Ball, on Wednesday, the 214
Inst., at Buckingham Palma.
The Lord Chancellor's Land Registry Bill pro-
poses to open • Land-office, where you may
register • title of any eort„ and if this title is not
challenged for ten years, you oan sell an estate

Mr. W. H. Smith's motion demanding the
' views of the Government on direct taxation,
imperial end local, as • preliminary step to de-
ciding upon the reduction of indirect taxation,
though it did not result in & division, was of the
first importaaoe as eliciting the views of the
Government in regard to Local Taxation Reform.
From the latter part of the Premier's speeds it
may be collected that the proposed relief of local
taxation by the aid of the Imperial funds will
ammo the smallest poeible dimensiona. Mr.
Goldstone denounces as utterly Inadmissible the
proposal of affording any robot whatever to the
owners of property, who will, on thzociontsr3orry,

means anything, it must ultimately par. WOOl4lO
already pommel the right to vote on local ques-
tions if they are ratepayers, end are entitled to
• similar voice in
itcrlial taxation. A ridi-
culous amount of vent talk about manli-
ness and womanlinem always shuts out of view
in these debates the simple bane of the right of
the taxed to representation. Mr. Bouverlia
called the Bill one for turning women into men.
Mr. Leathern proposed to withhold from women
the right to vote for members of Parliament,
since, If that were conceded to than, it might
some day happen that important Parliamentary
business might be suspended 'because the

General, or on account of the acconchement of
the Prime Minister." Mr. Knatohbull-Hagemien
rested his opposition to the Bill "on the fact
that God had made • great difference between
man ann woman," and Mr. Greene found • con-
vincing argument against the proposed reform
in "a little story" which he related. "There
was • poor woman in hie perish," he is reported
by the Tinto to have said, "who had • very
bad husband. A clergyman advised her to
talk kindly to her husband, and thus try to
hem wale of fire on his head ! ' Subsequently
the clergyman asked her how matters were going
at home. She replied. ' 1 thoaght a good deal
about putting fire on my husband's heed, but 1
tried boiling water.' " After that, will any one
venture to may that women ought not to have a
share in rejecting such a statesman as Mr.
Greene?

tJrljau sanitary authorities will no longer be
able to plead iguoranoe of the extent and nature
of their powen, as an stoma for not putting
them into operation, now there has been issued
the first of the two promised digests of the sani-
tary statutes. The volume gives a clear and
methodical exposition of the existing law, though
it doe, not claim to be an authoritative inter-
pretation of it. That will follow as exper lance
is had of the working of the present statutes.
Meanwhile it is interesting to note the extent of
the powers of the unitary authorities :—.
