THE PEOPLE'S PALACE.

The Prince of Wales on Saturday afternoon opened
an exhibition of apprentices' work at the People's
Palace in Rut London. It was announced that the
Drapers' Company of the City of London intended
to give ..£40,000, in addition to £20,000 for building
technical schools, to the People's Palace, and that,
the Charity Commissioners were going to give
£2500 a year out of the funds of the City parochial
charities to the same institution, while they would
also, out of the fund named, endow the Polytechnic
Institution in Regent-street. It was likewise stated
that the Ironmongers' Company of the City of
London will give £2OOO a year for similar work, com-
bining ednoation and renreation in London.

FRAUD ON THE CUSTOMS.
A HEAVY PENALTY.

In the Queen's Bench Division on Tuesday, before
Mr. Justice Day and a Special Jury, the case of the
Attorney-General v. Woolf and others was resumed
and concluded. It was a proceeding taken by the
Attorney-General, on information, against Isaac
Woolf, furrier, Harris and Louis Goldstein, tailors,
Spitalfields, and Adolph Silverstein, of New York,
for fraud on the Customs laws, in the importation of
tobacco. Silverstein had pleaded guilty. With the
Attorney-General were the Solicitor-General, Mr.
Patohett, Q.C., and Mr. McConnell; Mr. Besley
appeared as counsel for Woolf, whilp Mr. Waddy,
Q.C., Mr. Crispe, and Mr. G. W. Ellis were for
the Goldsteins. The Attorney-General said he
was proceeding against the defendant under the
Customs' laws to obtain treble duty on the
tobacco. The tobacco in 'question amounted to
about 17001 b., and the treble duty to .£l5OO or .EI6OO.
It was consigned by "Silverstein and C 0.," New York,
under the name of Josephs, a clerk of the firm' to H.
Goldstein, and, on arriving by steamship at Liver-
pool, was forwarded to London. It came as part of
the steamer's cargo und9r cover of what appeared to
be eight bales of cotton pickings. A hole in one of
the bales led, after the landing, to the discovery of the
nature of the contents, which consisted of pressed leaf
tobacco stems or stalks, with an outer packing of
coarse cotton and canvas cover, hooped as cotton bales
usually are. One of the bales' was produced in court,
with a specimen of the tobacco stems. The Custom
House officers of, Liverpool and London having had
their attention called to the matter, kept a watch
on the goods until they were delivered at the pre-
mises in Spitalfields, which had been taken on
lease at a rent of £75 a year for their reception.
The Custom House officers, on entering the
premises, found some of the defendants with
the tobacco, and they were further identified with the
transaction by evidence connected with the leasing of
the house, and by a letter found among their papers,
which suggested the possibility of a considerable
business being done in "the snuff." Evidence having
been given for the Crown, the defendants were called,
and said in substance they had no personal interest
in the transaction, and that they had become con-
nected with it only through their introduction to
Silverstein, as an American whom they understood to
be interested in the silk plush trade. Silverstein also
gave avidenca, stating, in effect, that he and not the
other defendants was responsible. Counsel having
been heard, the learned judge summed up, and the
jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
guilty against all the defendants with the exception of
Louis Goldstein, who was found not guilty. His lord-
ship thereupon gave judgment for the Crown, and
ordered execution to issue at once for the penalties.

A CURIOUS BIGAMY CASK
ONE DAY'S IMPRISONMENT.

On Monday. at the Central Criminal Court, Laurie
Smith, a tall and stout person, about 40 years of age,
dressed in black, was put upon her trial for bigamy.
It was proved that she married on New Year's Day,
1880, one Charles Patten, then a police-constable. A.
short time time afterwards he was sent to fire years'
penal servitude. He was out again in two years, The
Recorder could not understand why be was out so
soon, as the usual remission for good conduct would
,not have released him so sans. Considerable amuse—
ment was caused in court by the explanation of
witness who believed that "the earl of Inniskillezr
had got him off." After coming out of prison Patten
behaved in such a way that his wife had to seek pro-.
tection at a police-court. He then disappeared,
and is said to have gone to America. On
July 13 last year Mrs. Patten went through the form
of marriage with Henry Smith. The father of the
second husband was now the prosecutor. Counsel
for the prisoner said he could show that no injustice
was done to the second husband, as he had been
aware of all the circumstances, and had induced the
prisoner to engage in the marriage. The Recorder
said be did not see that much harm could be done to
a second husband in a bigamy case. Where a woman
was the victim by being married to a man who had a
wife living, the case was far different, and the offence
was a serious one. But he did not see that a man so
victimised had much to complain of. He sentenced
the prisoner to one day's imprisonment. Prisoner,
who seemed delighted with the result, tripped down
the stairs to the cells below to complete her term of
incarceration.

Now, Mary Ann, said the teacher, addressing the
foremost of the class in mythology, who was it sup-
ported the world on his shoulders?—lt was Atlas,
ma'am.—And who supported Atlas ?--The book
doesn't sty, but I guess his wife supported him. _

AN ENERGETIC MAYOR.

The Mayor of Longton, North Staffordshire, who
Is well known for his eccentric habits, has been throw-
ing himself heart and soul into the promotion of a
Christmas fair in his town, the proceeds of which go
to,. the Longton Cottage Hospital. To aid this good
cause he has laid all his friends under contribution,
and having occasion to journey to Trentham be
appealed to the landlord of the hotel there to render
what assistance he could. Mr. Peter Taylor, the
landlord in question, replied that he had a good fat
pig in his stye that he was willing should be cut up
and sold at the Christmas fair, but only under condi-
tion that the Mayor himself drove the pig from
Trentham to Longton. Mr. Aynsley (the Mayor), at
once entering into the spirit of the thing, agreed to
the conditions, and the other morning saw the Mayor
of Longton, in his new capacity of pig-drover, succes!-
fully accomplish the feat of driving an obstinate pig
along the roads that intervene for a distance of four
les.

REVIVAL OF TRADE.

Baron Henry de Worms, Parliamentary Secretary
to the Board of Trade, in answering a letter or the
Secretary of the Brentford Conservative Association,
says: "I think there is just cause for congratulation
that while some branches of commerce remain de-
pressed, the improvement generally in trade, visible
in the early part of the year, is being maintained
and indeed strengthened. How much this grati-
fying fact is due to the course which the Govern-
ment has pursued in upholding peaceful relations
with foreign Powers, and in sustaining the cause
of law and order at home, the public will
be able to appreciate. I will only venture to say
that never in the history of the world was it
possible for a nation to prosper when society was dis-
organised and the law disregarded. Yet these very
elements of mischief would prevail now if Mr. Glad-
stone and Mr. Parnell could have their way. Happily
their designs have been discredited, and never, I
believe, in a greater degree than at this moment. It
is, however, of vital importance to remember that such
is the extraneous pressure to which Mr. Gladstone
and his allies are subject, that Constitutionalists must
not underrate the task before them, but continue to
use every effort to defeat the enemies of the empire
and to preserve it in all its integrity."

LORD HARRIS AT ISLINGTON.

Lord Harris on Monday evening addressed a special
meeting of the Barnsbury Habitation of the Prim-
rose League, and observed that it was absolutely
essential that a Government should have the confi-
dence of the country. He had heard on good
authority that trade was reviving, and he hoped this
revival would continue. The Government would not
hesitate to carry out their trust—namely, to maintain
the integrity of the British Empire, and there were
signs that their efforts in that direction had not been
unsucoessf uL

A MAD FAMILY,

At Islington Coroner's Court the other evening,
Dr. George Danford Thomas held an inquiry into the
circumstances attending the death of Joseph Web-
berley, aged 65, a master tailor, lately residing at
20, Wharfdale-road, Caledonian-road. The evidence
adduced disclosed an extraordinary state of affairs,
the deseased being evidently efilicted with delirium
tremens, while his wife and daughter, with whom he
lived, were both insane, and had since his death been
removed to Islington workhouse as a preliminary to
their confinement in Colney Hatch Asylum, where this
daughter was previously under restraint. Aceordiag
to William Upton, son-in-law of the deceased, he
found his father-in-law suffering from the effects
of drink, and took him home. The next day
he was fetched to the house, and learnt that he was
dead. He understood that with an old razor the
deceased had attempted to-cut his throat, and that
he had also tried to strangle himselfiwith a handker-
chief. Samuel White, cabinet maker, a lodger of the
deceased's, at 20, Wharf dale-road, deposed that Web-
berlay was raving mad in the house, and was demand-
ing rent of his lodgers which was not due. He invited
them downstairs to "see a dying man." Subsequently
the witness saw him lying clothed merely in his shirt
and drawers, on the floor of a room downstairs, and
apparently motionless, while his wife and daughter
looked listlessly on; and when the witness suggested
that the deceased should be covered with a blanket
they took no notice of his suggestion. Mrs. Web-
berley was wholly incoherent in her talk, and
the daughter was of no use. Dr. J.
Slater, 1, Thornhill-crescent, Barnsbury, who was
called in by one of the lodgers, tound the
deceased lying on his back with a handkerchief
round his neck stained with blood. Removing the
handkerchief, he discovered that the deceased had
inflicted eight or nine superficial wounds across the
front of his throat and on each side. These were
apparently caused by an old razor. Life was extinct.
The widow said her husband had tried to hang him-
self with the handkerchief by suspending himself from
the bed, but she talked so wildly and incoherently
that no reliance could be placed upon what she said,
and, at his instance, steps had been taken for the safe
custody of herself and daughter. Having made a
post-mortem examination, the witness believed that
death was due to pulmonary apoplexy. The jury
returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased
died from congestion of the lungs and a feeble heart,
and that his death was accelerated by his intemperate
habits.

MR. BRIGHT ON COERCION.

Replying to a Birmingham correspondent who
asked him how he reconciled his recent speeches and
letters with a speech he made in 1870, in which he
said that it was the custom of the Tory party to meet
every demand for reform in Ireland with coercion,
Mr. John Bright says that since 1870 Parliament has
been making concessions and granting reforms, and
that now when Parliament is anxious to do full justice
to Ireland it is not likely that he will refuse legisla-
tion which he, as well as the Government, believes to
be necessary to repress a system of terror.

tions was submitted to the executive committee
claiming that the Irish lizsclowners were entitled to
compensation for their heavy losses, as the State had
inflicted upon them specific loss and damage; suggest-
ing various modes of relief, &c.; and urging that the
expenses of the sale and transfer of land should be
made as cheap as they are in any other country. The

TWO BRITISH SHIPS SUNK.
FOURTEEN LIVES LOST.

The screw steamer Tyne Queen, Captain Rawson,
owned by Messrs. Newton Bros. and Co., Leadenhall-
street, London, on a voyage from Newcastle to Copen-
hagen, foundered in the North Sea during the heavy
gale which prevailed on the 10th inst. The captain
and crew, with the exception of one seaman, who was
swept overboard before the steamer foundered, were
rescued by a fishing smack and landed at Hull.
Information was received at Queenstown on Tues-
day from East London, South Africa, of the total
loss of the British Iron ship Idomene in Mazeppa Bay
on Nov. 17, and the drowning of 13 of her crew,
including the commander, Captain Ray. The re-
mainder of the crew were rescued and landed at East
London. At the time of the disaster the Idomene
was on a voyage from Rangoon, which she left on
Sept. 23 for the United Kingdom. Most of the crew
were shipped at Cardiff, from which port she sailed
on March 18 last for the Mauritius. The Idomene
was a vessel of 1390 tons and was owned in Liver-
pool by Messrs. Ferule and Sons.

LORD ROSEBERY AT OLDHAM.
Oa Tuesday evening the Earl of Rosebery ad-
dressed a crowded meeting of Liberals at Oldham,
where Mr. J. T. Hibbert presided. In supporti,ng a
resolution in favour of Home Rule for Ireland, the
Earl of Rosebery said that the Unionist dinner in
Dublin represented, they had been told, the culture,
commerce, and wealth of Ireland—everything, in
fact, except the people of Ireland. He asked who
was the founder of the creed that the question of free
trade should be subordinated to the Irish difficulty?
For the first time in the history of Ireland people
called to people and democracy to democracy, and
though they might have to wait, the ultimate answer
of the English democracy was clear and certain.

HOLIDAYS IN BED.

Under the title of "The Never Best Cure," Mr. J.
M. Howie makes a medical suggestion of value in the
current number of one of the reviews. He says:
"For those who cannot get a sufficient holiday, the
best substitute is an occasional day in bed. Many
whom nerves are constantly strained in their daily
vocation have discovered this for themselves. A
Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his medical man
that he always went to bed for two or three days
whenever he could be spared from hie business, and
he laughed at those who spent their holidays on toil-
some mountains. One of the hardest worked women
in England, who has for many years conducted a
large wholesale business, retains excellent nerves at
an advanced age, owing, it is believed, to her habit of
taking one day a week in bed."

VOLITIOS OF THE RECESS.

SIR GEORGE TREVELYAN AT SUNDER-
LAND.

-
Addressing a meeting of Liberal delegates from
Northumberland and Durham, held at Sunderland on
lionday afternoon under the presidency of Sir Joseph
Pease, Sir George Trevelyan criticised the recent pro-
ceedingv of the Dissentient Liberals at Westminster,
and pointed out that nothing was said about Liberal
measures of reform, and no administrative or legisla-
tive policy in regard to Ireland that could be called
conciliatory was proposed. The declaration that the
breach in the party would last until the next
general election meant that the Liberal organisation
was to be broken up by men who had risen to the
summit of the State on the shoulders of the Liberal
party. In the evening Sir George Trevelyan speak
ing at a large public meeting at Sunderland declared
that Mr. Gladstone's scheme was rejected last year
because of the proposed exclusion of the Irish mem-
bers from Westminster and the buying out of the
Irish landlords. But Mr. Gladstone in a recent
speech at the Memorial Hall announced that he had
given up the idea of expelling the Irish members and
buying the landlords out. Sir George said that the
Liberal party would work for years until the founia-
dons were laid of a happier state of things in Ireland.
Moreover, true Liberals would be more united in
future than they were before the breach.

THE DECORATIONS SCANDAL.

The French Court of Appeal ruled on Tuesday that
there was not sufficient ground to justify further legal
proceedings against MM. Wilson, Gragnon, and
Goron for the substitution of two letters signed by M.
Wilson and addressed to Madame Limouzin. The
interested parties were immediately informed of the
finding of the Court.
In accord with the conclusion of its Committee, the
Senate on Tuesday decided, after a short debate,
that, in consequence of his condemnation for traffiick-
ing in decorations, &c., General d'Andlau had forfeited
his seat in the Senate.

OYSTER CULTURE.

Some remarkable statistics showing the progress of
the oyster trade in France have just been published.
It appears from them that during the past twelve-
month the beds have produced no fewer than 600 mil-
lions of oysters, or ten times more than in 1876. The
progresa does not concern quantity alone; the quality
also shows an equally noteworthy improvement. In
1883 France exported 31 millions, this year the ex-
portation will not be less than 50 millions. The cul-
ture of what is known as the Portuguese 'naissain
has been eminently successful in France. Formerly
France imported great quantities of them; for
example, in 1883 she imported 154,647 kilogrammes,
representing a value of nearly 2,000,000 f. Instead of
importing, she now exports them; thus, for the
present year the exports of Portuguese oysters amount
to over 500,000 kilogrammes. The extension of the
oyster trade in France during the last ten years is one
of the most extraordinary gastronomic features of the
times. Not long ago the oyster was eaten only by the
bourgeoisie; nowadays the working classes indulge in
the succulent bivalve daily, and every wineshop, even
in the poorest quarters, has its oyster-stand.outside.

MILITIA OFFICERS.

His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief has
just issued revised regulations as to the grant of com-
missions in the army to officers of the auxiliary forces.
The principal alteration is one by which in cases of
exceptional service (abroad with an army in the field,
or at home in time of war or special emergency), and
on the recommendation of the Commander-in-Chief,
the age limit of militia officers nominated for Lir.°
commissions may be extended from 24 to 25 years.
The other alterations mainly affect subjects for and
methods of examination.

MESSRS. LABOUCHERE AND BRADLAU'GH
AT NORTHAMPTON.

Messrs. Labonchere and Bradlaugh, the members
for Northampton gave their annual addresses to their
constituents on Tuesday night. The meeting was the
largest ever held in the borough. Councillor Cleaver,
who was to have taken the chair, met with such deter-
mined opposition that Councillor Parser was called
on to preside. Loud groans were also given against
Mr. Manfield, President of the Shoetnasters' Associa-
tion and election agent for Mr. Labouchere, so that
it was with difficulty that Mr. Labouchere could gain
a hearing. He strongly advocated the settlement of
the dispute by arbitration. In general politics he
observed that the Radicals' like the North-
ampton men, were on strike. They struck
against tyranny and injustice in Ireland, and were
locked out of power, but notwithstanding the
efforts of the Tories to sow dissension between the
English and Irish democracies, Radicalism was still
in the ascendant in the country. He denounced the
effrontery of Mr. Goschen in attending so-called
Liberal meetings while drawing his salary from the
Tory Government, and said Mr. Jesse Collings and
Mr. Richard Chamberlain might fepresent Joseph of
many colours, but certainly not the British demo-
cracy. The country was still in favour of Mr. Glad-
stone's principle of Home Rule being applied to
Ireland, which meant an Irish Parliament paramount
in local affairs, with an Executive proceeding out of
and responsible to it. The Tory -Land Act was a
delusion and a sham. The proposed procedure struck
at free speech, and the Coercion As t was sheer impu-
dence.

AN EVANGELIST S DEBT.

On Tuesday, in the Edmonton County Court, before
Judge Abdy, Christopher King, known as the "Con-
verted Clown," at present pastor at the People's
Tabernacle, Fore-street, Edmonton, and residing at
Rosebank, Fairfield-road, Edmonton, was sued by
Joseph Richardson, of 25, Newlyn-road, Tottenham,
watchman, for £8 195., being the balance of a loan of
£lO. Mr. Avery appeared for plaintiff. Defendant
did not put in an appearance, but was represented by
a friend, who admitted the debt, but said defendant
could only pay by small instalments. Mr. Avery:
Why? The Friend: Because the collections are so
small. Look here (handing in a paper containing
items as the receipts at the tabernacle), you see
his takings are very little. Mr. Avery:
You talk as if the tabernacle was a shop, and
religion was a common trade. The Friend: He
hardly takes enough to live upon, and has to pay rent
and other expenses. Mr. Avery: He calla himself a
converted clown, and issues papers headed, " Hold-
ing forth the word of life" but I think my client was
the clown. (Laughter.) The Judge : And not con-
verted. Mr. Avery: Not to prudence. The Friend:
Plaintiff offered to lend the money to relieve Mr.
King of difficulties. The Judge: Was plaintiff a
member of defendant's congregation? The Friend:
He said to Mr. King: I am a member of the Lord,
and if you want £5, £lO, or even £2O, you can have
it. (Laughter.) The Judge: And ha took £lO.
Well, people are apt to approve lending to the
Lord when they don't put their hands in their
pockets, but when they do as in this case—they
find lending to th,e Lord is no so profit-
able. (Laughter.) How is the money to be paid?
The Friend: He cannot pay more than 4s. a month.
Plaintiff: When he borrowed Ulla money he was re-
ceiving 1:3 a week. Mr. Avery: He found preaching
better than endangering his neck by tumbling about in
a pantomime. (Laughter.) Why is he not here
to-day? The Friend: He has gone to look for an
appointment. Mr. Avery: In his old profession—
clowning? The Friend: No, as an evangelist. The
Judge (to plaintiff) : Are you one of the defendant's
fold? Plaintiff: No; but he came to my house, and
I believed he was honest and straightforward. The
Judge: Well, he may be. You had great confidence
in him? Plaintiff: I had, and therefore lent him
the money. He told me he would pay 3s. per week,
but has not kept up the instalments. In the result
judgment was given for plaintiff with costs, payment
.£1 ner month.

The conimittee which the Commander-in• Chief has
approved for inquiry into the organisation of a large
military cycling corps, composed of volunteers, is to
hold its first meeting at Wellington Barracks, London,
on the 21st inst., under the presidency of Colonel Savile,
of the Royal Military College. The official direction to
the committee is to draw up precise specifications of
types of cycles suitable for military purposes, suggest
arms, clothing, equipment, Szc., and the method of
training and terms 94 9fficie_nc7.

THE GOVEIiaTMENT AND TILE PAPAL

ENVOY.

Freemans's Journal agrees with United
Ireland in disbelieving the rumours about
Monsignor Persico, and does not believe his
views are adverse to the national cause. It
is unwarraintablp. to hint that the Irish
Bishops can be bought with the bribe of a
richly endowed University.

THE _ DEATH OF LINNELTa.

Mr. Troutbeck, deputy coroner for Westminster,
resumed the inquest on Monday on the body of
Alfred Linnell, who died in Charing-cross Hospital
from injuries received in Northumberland-avenue
during a riot in Trafalgar-square on the 20th ult.
Among the witnesses was the demonstrator of anatomy
at Westminster Hospital, who, judging from appear-
ances, thought the deceased's injuries could hardly
have been caused by a horse's hoof, but more prob.
ably by the trampling of a human foot. The house-
surgeon at Charing-cross and one of his students
said Linnell told them he had slipped and
the crowd fell upon him. The deceased's niece
however, deposed that her uncle had affirmed to
her that he was knocked down by the mounted police.
The jury found that there was no evidence to show
how the injury was inflicted which caused death, and
they added a comment as to the lack of evidence, and
as to the practice at Charing-cross Hospital of koep-
ing no record of those who brought in patients.

THE TRIAL OF MR. GRAHAM, M.P., AND

MR. JOHN BURNS.

In the case against Mr. CuninghaTne Graham,
11. P., and Mr. John Barns, arising out of the Tra-
falgar-square riots, Mr. Asquith, Q.C., on behalf of
the accused, applied to the Recorder, at the Central
Criminal Court, on Monday, for is postponement of
the trial until next sessions, and this being assented
to by Mr. Poland for the prosecution, was consented
to.

buried at Tomi; Yet such was the fortune of one
of the greatest of Roman poets; and it; has now
