MELANCHOLY DEATHS by DROWNING.

A Correspondent of The Times writes under date, llyeres
(Var), July 8 :

"A sad and fatal bathing accident occurred hete
the day before yesterday, resulting in the loss of
four out of the small English colony (sums thirty
in number) who are passing the summer in this
pleasant place. Two families, those of General
Byers and Major Grey, had united in an excursion
to Bregancon, a beautiful spot on the c .ast some
fifteen miles off. As was their custom, they all
proceeded to bathe. Mrs. Byers and the girls, seven
in number, were together in a circle, when those of
them who were furthest out, though not beyond three
or four yards from the shore, stepped suddenly into
deep water and lost their footing. The others of the
group were either dragged after them or followed in
their attempts to help them, General Byers, who was
close by and an expert swimmer, rushed to the rescue,
and by his agonized efforts, which were presently se-
conded by some soldiers in a boat from the neighbouring
fort, succeeded in bringing to shore those who had sunk,
apparently lifeless corpses. By ceaseless efforts, con-
tinued for many hours, three out of the nuntber were
restored to consciousness, but in four cases all efforts
proved fruitless. These were Mrs. Byers, her two
younger daughters, aged 13 and 15, and one of Mrs.
Grey's daughters, aged 11. The sad occurrence has
created a great sensation in the neighbourhood. The
funeral took place at Hy eres yesterday evening, and
almost the whole of the inhabitants, headed by the
Mayor, attended to show their sympathy for General
Byers, who is well known here, and the other bereaved
relatives."

THE SCHOOL FEES FOR NECESSITOUS
CHILDREN.

On Monday a deputation from the Manchester and
other School Boards and Boards of Guardians waited
upon Lord Spencer and Mr. Mundella, at the Educa-
tion Department, to lay before them their views in
favour of placing in the hands of the local school
authorities the duty of paying the school fees for
necessitous but non-pauper children.

Lord Spencer said the subject was one of the deepest
importance. It had been one of the burning politi-
cal questions which had been raised in the past, and
he thought there would be very great difficulty if they
attempted to touch this question now. He would
point out that an Act of Parliament would be neces-
sary in order to deal with the question, and he feared
there would be a very considerable difficulty in grant-
ing the wishes of the deputation.

Mr. Mundella said he thought this change would
revive the religious difficulty, and having got rid of
the apple of discord nothing would induce him to re•
introduce it.

CETEWAYO'S LETTER TO THE QUEEN.

A Blue-book containing further correspondence upon
the affairs of South Africa has been issued. The
despatches, which 611 142 pages, are supplemented
with three maps, and their dates extend from Novem-
ber 30, 1880, to June 29, 1881.
One of the latest despatches is an acknowledgment
by Lord Kimberley of a letter from Cetewayo to the
Queen, placing his case before her Majesty. Lord
Kimberley says that the Queen was pleased to receive
the letter very graciously, but that his lordship could
not advise her Majesty to comply with Cetewayo's
request that he should be restored to his position as
King in Zululand. His lordship says it is not now
possible, consistently with engagements entered into
with the Zulu chiefs, to reverse the recent settlement.
He adds :

-- -
This settlement was made after full consideration as that
which in the opinion of the advisers of the Queen was best
suited to maintain the peace and to promote the welfare of
the Zulu people, and the chiefs to whom the Government of
the thirteen districts of Zululand has been assigned have
thus far faithfully discharged the duty which they have
undertaken. And however much her Majesty's Government
may regret the painful necessity which requires that a ruler
between whom and her Majesty there formerly existed rela•
tions of friendship should be deprived of his liberty and not
permitted to return to kis native land, they cannot encou-
rage Cetewayo to hope that he will be released from the
detention which paramount considerations of policy render
unavoidable.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

In London, on Tuesday morning, there was a very
interesting annual gathering at St. James's Hall.
Prizes are offered for the best essay on " Man's Duty
to Animals," the competitors being children of both
sexes in all th schools, private and public, in the
metropolis. The movement is tinder the auspices ( f
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
and the Baroness Burdett-Coutts gave away the prizes
which numbered 1,600. Among the recipients was a
poor blind boy, who had written his essay in the blind
characters, and one little child of tender age carried
off the prize out of several hundred competitors. Ihe
ceremony of distributing the prizes to the fortunate
competitors was of a very interesting character. The
early inculcation of kindness to animals is one which
must meet with universal approval.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN A CHURCH.

A telegram from Mexico says that the roof of a church
at San Mateo fell in during service on the morning of
the sth inst., killing over thirty of the worshippers
present, the greater number being women. The
church was being partially rebuilt, and while a party
of men were working on the roof, one fell through,
and the sudden rush of all the others at the same
moment in their endeavours to get off caused the re.
mainder of the roof to collapse. Twenty of the work.
men were killed, and several were fatally injured.

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT
WINDSOR.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1881-07-16

The following general order by his Royal High-
ness the 14 ield-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief was
specially issued on Monday :

" WINDSOR, Sunday, July 10.

_
"The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief _ having re-
ceived the Queen's commands to express the gratification
and pleasure with which Her Majesty yesterday reviewed
so large a force of her Volunteer troops in the Great Park
at Windsor, and Her Majesty's entire satisfaction with the
soldiex-like appearance and bearing of all ranks, his Royal
Highness desires, without delay, to notify Her Majesty's
commands to the Forces.

"The troops reviewed consisted of 06 battalions, besides
the Royal Naval Artillery and the Honourable Artillery
Company, and the whole comprised 111 corps, amounting
to upwards of 59„000 officers and men, representing the
Volunteers of all parts of England and Wales.

"The concentration and the subsequent dispersal to
their homes of so large a body in so short a time would
have been impossible without proper subordination and
strict obedience to orders, and, judging by the punctual
performance of the railway service as well as by his own
observation of the battalions from the time of thzir arrival
to the close of the review, his Royal Highness is satisfied
that the discipline and endurance of all ranks would do
credit to troops employed on permanent service, and are
worthy of the highest commendation.

"The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief was most
favourably impressed with the military bearing of the officers
and men, both on and off parade, and his Royal Highness
begs to thank the Volunteers of all ranks, the General o,nd
Staff Officers of the Force, the medical officers attached to
the field hospitals, and the staff officers for railway service,
hr the accurate and successful performance of their re-
spective duties.

'His Royal Ilighness.'s thanks are also due to the rail-
way authorities for their hearty 00-operation and untiring
exertions, without which so large a concentration of troops
could not have been effected.
" By command, "C. 11. ELLICE, A.G."

utilized the gift as a foundation for his new residence.

THE MARKETS,

METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET.-MONDAY.
The cattle trade is steadier. Supplies are short, and with
a rather better demand, the tendency of prices is against the
buyer. The receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts
were below the average, but the quality and condition were
satisfactory. More animation prevailed in the demand, and
more money had to be paid for choice qualities. Best Scots
and crosses realised ss. 2d. to ss. 4d. per 81b. From Norfolk,
Suffolk, and Essex we received 1,500, from the midland and
home counties about 800, and from Scotland 35 head. On
the foreign side of the market were about 250 American
beasts and some Danish. The trade was quiet, but
steady, at late rates. The sheep pens were sparingly filled.
The trade was strong and the tendency of prices was against
the buyer. The best downs and half-breds realised 6s. 2d.
to 6s. 4d. per 81b. Lambs were quiet, at 7s. to 7s. Bd. per
81b. Calves and pigs sold at full prices. At Deptford there

CARDINAL MANNING AND IRISH
LABOURERS.

A deputation representing the interest of Irisi
labourers in connection with the Land Bill before
Parliament had an interview with Cardinal Manning
on Saturday. In reply to the views laid before him,
his Eminence said it was disappointing that the
labourers were not more closely identified with the
Irish Land Bill; but he admitted that the Bill was
so large, unwieldly, and complicated that it would be
impossible to introduce so awkward a subject as that
of the Irish labourer. He believed that the question
of landlord and tenant was sufficiently large to
engage a Session, and therefore it was better that
the subject of the labourer should be reserved for
the future. He thought a Royal Commission should
be issued for the purpose of taking evidence as to the
state of the labourers only, and he recommended that
this should be proposed next Session.

THE DAUGHTERS OF THE PRINCE OF

WALES.

The Princesses Louise Victoria and 111ud, the
daughters of the Prince of Wales, accompanied by
their governess, left Marlborough House on Monday
afternoon for one of their customary drives in Hyde.
park. The carriage used was a sociable landau, drawn
by a pair of horses. On the return one of the horses
became restive, and commenced kicking. The foot-
man at once alighted in order to quiet the
animal, but before he could reach its head
both horses bolted down Constitution-hill, and
galloped through St. James's-park, making straight
for Marlborough House. The coachman did his best on
the box, but had but little control over the animals.
The corner of the Mall was rounded, and when
within fifty yards of Marlborough House the carriage
came in collision with a lamppost. The hind wheel
became locked in the post, and, the horses being then
taken by the head, the Princesses and their governess
were able to alight, and then walked to Marlborough
House. They were somewhat frightened, but were
not in the least hurt. The carriage was considerably
injured; the near hind-wheel of the vehicle was so
shattered that a new one was attached before it was
drawn into the stable-yard adjoining Marlborough
House.

News of the accident spread rapidly, and a crowd of
people soon assembled outside the gates at Marlborough
House. Amongst the earliest callers to make inn uiries
were Lady Rosebery, the Home Secretary, Lord •Eury,
and Earl Granville. Later on many other dis-
tinguished personages called and left cards. A tele-
gram was despatched to the Queen at Windsor inform-
ing her Majesty of the providential escape of her
grandchildren. The Crown Prince and Princess of
Germany were at Marlborough House when the young
Princesses returned from their somewhat perilous
drive, and when their Imperial Highnesses drove off
later in the evening they were loudly cheered as they
passed the gates.

THE LATE POPE PIUS IX.

The translation of the remains of Pius IX. from
their temporary resting•place in St. Peter's to the
tomb prepared in the • Church of San Lorenzo was
effected at midnight on Tuesday. Notwithstanding
an express wish of the deceased Pontiff an immense
number of persons, consisting of the members ot the
various Catholic Associations of Rome, took part in
the ceremony by following in the procession with
lighted torches. In consequence of a number of young
men persisting in disturbing the proceedings with
cries of "Long live Italy ! " the military were com-
pelled to interfere and disperse the people who were
following the funeral cortege. On order being re-
established the ceremony was proceeded with.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1881-07-16

THE MARCH PAST.

The whole march-past was done in an hour and
thirty-five minutes, the last company passing the
saluting base at 7.15 p.m.—unusually quick time
even for the quarter column formation. Immedi-
ately afterwards Her Majesty and the Royal party
left the ground under a salute of 21 guns and the
cheers of the people, and as they passed the Double
Gates on their way to the Castle another Royal
salute was fired. The Volunteers marched in the
first place to their rendezvous, where some of them,
not all, had left their great coats, &e., and afterwards
to their respective railway stations in the same order
and formation as on their arrival.

From first to last the whole of the military and
railway arrangements worked with a smoothness
which no one had ventured to anticipate, solving, in
the most satisfactory sense, the great problem as to
the practicability of a general and rapid mobilization
of our "citizen army.'

Among the spectators were the King of the Sand-
wich Islands in a Royal carriage ; Sir Frederick
Roberts—who witnessed the review from the top of a
carriage—and the Chinese Admiral Ting, attended by
Captain Lin and Captain Clayscn, also of the Chinese
Navy.
Great interes and enthusiasm were excited at the
appearance of Lord Napier of Magdala, who rode
past at the head of the 3rd London Rifles, of which
regiment he is the honorary colonel. Her Majesty
gave a most gracious, recognition to the gallant
veteran, to which he responded by bowing low as well
as saluting.

A RAILWAY FOR NEWFOUNDLAND.

The New York Correspondent of the Standard says
The Newfoundland Government have received the
Royal Assent to the concession which they had granted
to an American Syndicate to build a railway—the
first Newfoundland has possessed—from St. John's to
Hall Bay, with important branch lines.
The total length of the railway will be three hundred
and forty miles. The Government will pay an annual
subsidy of a hundred and eighty thousand dollars for
thirty-five years, and a grant of five thousand acres of
land.

The Newfoundland people look forward with deep
interest to a speedy commencement of this enterprise,
which will develope the local resources in fisheries,
copper, and agriculture. They expect that at a future
day an extension of the railway will open a short sea
route between America and England.

It is enly what it ought to be, but it is pleasant to
have the testimony of the senior magistrate of Windsor to
the fact, that; not a single charge of any kind has been
brought before the Bench against any one of the 52,000
volunteers mustered in the borough on Saturday.—Globe.

THE STANDING ARMY AND THE
AUXILIARY FORCES.

The Times (in a leader on Monday) thinks that,
upon the whole, it cannot be said that our militia and
volunteers have increased with our population, still
less with the valte of the property at stake. The
reason of this decadence, or this standing still, is to be
found in the development of our regular army. The
militia and volunteers are the ancient and popular
force, the venerated guardians of liberty and security
of the Commonwealth; the regular a modern and
unpopular innovation. The change, however, that has
come over the scene since those days leaves no doubt
that the standing army, at one time odious and
contemptible, is indispensable to the very exist-
ence of this country, and must at any cost be
continually increased and strengthened to our
increasing requirements while the militia and volun-
teers must be subsidiary. The demands of industry,
and of civil life, grow every year, and have already
reached a scale that would have been incredible fifty
years ago. But our colonies, our commerce, our
manufactures, our railways, our collieries and mines,
are so many deductions from our defences, and as we
cannot raise a sufficient number of militia and volun-
teers, or even entirely trust in their qualifications for
immediate service in the field, we are oblige cl to
bestow our chief care on the standing army, which
from 1660 to 1830 was a word of reproach in this
country, the climax of all our political corruptions and
popular grievances.
