SIR ROBERT PEEL'S PRAYER.

The following is a copy of prayer, fowl in die late Sir
Robert Peel's private drawer of his dressing ease,
after his sudden death, July, ISSO

Great and merciful God, rider of all nations, help me
daily to repair to Thee for wisdom anal grace suitable to the

Strengthen, 0 brat, my natural powers and faculties, that

hotly and confusion of mind. Deign, I beseech Thee, to
obviate or ciorect the ill effects of such OCllliSiOlaa or mis-
takes in toy Toroceedings es may result from partial know-
ledge, infirmity of judgment, or unfaithfulness in any with
whom I may have to do. Let Thy blessings rest upon nay
sovereigo and my country. Dispose the hearts of all in
10111 stations to adopt such measures as will preserve
public order, foster industry, and alleviate distress. May
their religion flourish, and peace be universal. ISrant
that, so far as may consist with human weakness, what-
ever le pnapo.sed by myself or others bar the general good
may be viewed with candour, and that all wise awl ttae-

for me, Thy servant, grant, 0 merciful God, that I allay not

LEGISLATORS IN A STRAIT!

An incident occured on the return to town of the
members of the House of Commons who are mem-
bers of the Cobden Club, and who dined together at
the "Ship," Greenwich, the other evening, under the
presidency of Mr. Villiers, which has caused con-
siderable amusement, and is likey to be made the
subject of some " chaff" in the House. The party
started—no doubt with elevated ideas of things in
general—on the return voyage at a quarter after
twelve. All went merry as a wedding dejeutter goes
till toast time, while the bridges were yet in the
distance, but when I, didon had been passed and
Southwark left behind, end the Westminster side
of ftlackfriars and Waterloo reached, the question
arose—how were the distinguished party to land
Hungerford Pier was tried, but was found to be
barricaded. Westminster Pier was next "made,"
but here a like discovery awaited the party. What
was to be done I The hon. members put their heads
together, and after a bit resolved themselves into a
committee of ways and means, and an M.P. in the
course of the discussion "concluded with a motion" to
the effect that they should break open the wooden
gates, and so solve the difficulty. The resolution was
I unanimously adopted, and the gates were attacked
I with as much vigour as if they were a kind of enilsodi.
tnent of the Irish Church. How n they went with a
crash, but the crash brought down the police. The
force remonstrated, and were about to go into the
matter professionally and make a ease of it, when
they found that the law breakers were law makers, anti
they therefore applauded the capital practical joke,
and took the company into charge as far as Palace
Yard, were cabs were secured, in is hich the victorious
legislators went on their way rejoicing.

LOYALTY TO OUR GOOD QUEEN.

A mixed meeting of nativea and Europeans, repre-
senting every class in the community, was held in
Calcutta on the 27th May, for the porpoise of presenting
an address to the Queen on the escape of the Duke of
Edinburgh from assassination. The remarks of the
native speakers wete full of enthusiasm. Baboo
Romanath Tagore said that Prince Alfred's escape
did not apvear to him auddental, but providential ;
it was a reward to the Queen for her virtue, upright-
ness, and piety, am! her sincere desire to do justice to
her subjects, Rajah Kali Krishna Bahadoor said
that since India had been under the direct government
of her Majesty, no better opportunity for drawing
together all sections of the community in accord had
occurred. Be prayed Heaven to extend the reign Ist
" our endeared sovereign mother," and hoped her
children would long be a source of consolation to her. '
Moulvie Abdool Luteef Khan Bahadoor, speaking on
behalf of his Mahomedan fellow countrmen, a large
number of whom were present, assured the meeting
that they cordially united with their European and
Hindoo fellow-subjects in the manifestation of "loyalty
and attachment to the rota' house of England."
"They do most certainly feel (he added) that nothing
less is due from them, for the peace, protection, and
happiness, which they, in common with the other
nations of the globe under British sovereignty, enjoy
under the mild and beneficent rule of our gracious
Queen."

MELANCHOLY CASE OF DROWNING.

A case of drowning, under peculiarly painful cir-
cumstances, occurred at Dunbar on Saturday. Mr,
John Turnbull, a lad between sixteen and seventeen
years of age, eldest son of the late Dr. Turnbull, hail
gone to bathe a little to the west of the Castle Hoek.
along with his uncle, Dr. Twyford. The lad was an
excellent swimmer, and immediately on getting into
the water, and without twquainting his uncle, he struck
out for a rock between three and four huodred yards
from the shore. A large number of persons were In the
Castle Park at the time, witnessing the manoeuvres ,if
the Artillery Militia, who were going through their
drill, and the progress of the swimmer attracted the at-
tention of several of them. Ile seemed b• go out very
otsily, the wind and tide being in his favour. and aft. 1
swimming round the rock he commenced the return
journey. A tisliingboat passed him as he was return-
ing, and the fishermen asked if they should take lam in
tow, lint he manfully refused the offer. No alarm was
felt un il he was about forty yards from the shore,
who, it was evident that he was in danger. Dr.
Twyford, oho had been out of the water and dresses!
for a consi arable t me, called to him to rest upon his •
beck, and the alarm being given there was a rush of
people to the spok He gained a rock over which the
water WWI WBBllillV, but seemed unable to grasp it, and
went down in sight of the large crowd. A number of
boats from he harbour were quickly on the spot, and
the lssly was recovered in the course of half-an-hour.
The lad was a general favourite in the town, and the
affecting circumstances under which he met his death
have called forth expresaimut of sympathy from all
clardaea.

THE TICKET-OF-LEAVE SYSTEM

We gather a few facts about ticket-of-leave convicts
from 'he official reports of the constabulary force in the
southern counties of England and Wales. This dis-
trict is exclusive of the area guarded by the metro-
politan and city of London police. The population,
town and rural, of the district amounts to about
5,000,000 persons. It contains few of our largest
towns, the two most densely-peopled being Bristol and
Plymouth. For a variety of reasons, large towns are
likely to be more the resort of the criminal classes than
sparsely inhabited rural neighbourhoods. During the
year ended with Michaelmas, 1866, there were resident
in this district 213" convicts on licence of leave under
the provisions of the Penal Servitude Armndinent
Act, 27 and 28 Vict., cap. 28"-184 nudes and 29
females. In the following year, the number had
fallen to 173, or 40 lees: the male convictshad declined
by 34, and the females by C. Of the 173 residents. 122
were reported as "in work '(110 males and 12 females),
14 "out of work," and of 25 (21 males and 4 females)
the record says, "State of employment not known."
The general repugnance felt by the public against
the system, is, of course, due to the number of out-
rages and felonies it enables the worst of those who
secure the indulgence of a ticket to commit. "For
fresh offences" during the twelve months no less than
38 convicts (30 males and 8 females) were recommitted
to prison, and h f.a• 'breach of licence • " and we find
that 25 per cent, availed themselves of their freedom
to break the laws. On the other hand. 153 males and
15 females reported themselves to the police "regularly
during the year." No lees than 25 have escaped the
local police surveillance entirely ; they are reported as
having "left the district without notice," and they
"cannot be accounted for." To the knowledge of the
police there were 234 ticket-of-leave convicts whose
licences bad expired residing in the district, not
mischievously, it may be hoped, since no bad marks
are scored nainst them.

THE IRON TRADE.

WoINERRAMPTON, iiVaesday.

There was a quiet market to-day, with but a
small attendance. The tone of the trade was
not spirited, nor dejected; but there were only
a few who were able to report any improvement
in the demand for either finished or pig iron.
Prices are steady for both, with a tendency to
stiffen in sheets and hoops. Election matters
still occupy much attention. The discussion
upon the Parliamentary subject was strength-
ened to-day by the presence upon 'Change of
Mr. Robinson, the local Liberal candidate for
Wednesburv, who is understood to be receiving
promises of. a large amount of support from
members of the iron and coal trade, and who
to-day expressed his resolve to go to the poll
in any event.

than a visit to Ear"wood will present; and yet it is
cheering to see how poor creatures are cared for who
would he otherwise outside the pale of humanity.
About the most uninteresting reading that a man
can be afflicted with is an account of the fashions for
the month, though it is said the ladies take a lively
interest in this sort of thing. Now and then, however,
we have an item of fashion and frivolity that has some
interest even for the sex that pays milliners' bills. I
read the other day, in the contribution of an occa-ional
correspondent of a daily paper, that the Paris dandies
" wear plaits in the foreheadin a myriad of locks, that
the French call accrocheveur," (heart-ensnarers) ; and
now another writer says that the French dandies
"powder, paint, pad, and wear stays, and, instead
• of the ordinary night-dress, put on a costume, when
going to bed, somewhat like that of a con-
tinental bathing suit." Can any reasonable person
believe anything of tte kind? Not I, for one. Fancy
Frenchmen of the present day powdering, painting,
padding, and wearing stays ! I think these writers
must, as Sheridan said, have been drawing on their
imagination for these facts. The paying sex, more-
over, must have quite enough to do to pay for the
fashionable follies of their wives and daughters.

CRADLEY.

FAREWELL TEA MEETING.—On Monday last a farewell
Tea Meeting was held in the Two Gates Ragged School.
in honour of the It-v. J. White, who has been removed
to another sphere of labour. After the tea W,,fl ever a
public meeting WI. held, at which Noah Ringley, F sq.,
preside. J. Homfray, Esq., and Mears. Soutl all,
Kinsey, Kirby, and Hamblett addressed the mer, ling.
At the close of Mr. Homfray's speech, Mr. J. I erry
handed a purse to him for the purpose of yresentation
to Mr. White. Tire contents of the purse w.•re sub-
scribed by the members and friends of the Stourbridge
Circuit, together with several gentlemen. Mr. Homfray
presented the purse to the Rev. J. White, with a s. ry
graceful speech. Mr. White then rose and made a very
able speech, and heartily thanked his friends for their
valuable gift, and for their many expressions of love and
respect to him. The res, gentleman then introduced to
the meeting one Mr. J. Kirby. who has been a local
preacher in the Stourbridge Circuit for 40 years, and
presented him with a sovereign. It was stated by the
Rev. J. White and Mr. Kirby biniself, that he (Mr. Kir-
by) had never possessed a sovereign before in his life.
Mr. Ilingley asked the veteran if such really wan the
case that he had not been in possession of a sovereign
before in his lifetime, to which Mr. Kirby replied in a
humonrons manner, that though he had not possessed
one before. he was now in possession of one, and he WAS
never en rich in his life; it would find him sow-thing to
talk about. Mr. J P.-ery then g•ry t a favourite hymn,
which was stn.g, asia the siren closed with
prayer.

UNVEILING LUTHER'S MONUMENT.

A correspondent of the Daily Neuu gives the following
particulars of the ceremonial which took place at tte
unveiling of the Luther uninument at Worms on Thursday
last;—
The festivities were rather of a seri, us than a gay
character. The great services of Luther and the
reformers who preceded or followed him were extolled
in sermons and speeches. The most remarkable
speech Wati that of the mayor of the town, a Catholic,
as are three-fourths of the population. When the
monument was made over to the care of the munici-
pality of Worms, he accepted it as a national gift, and
I;rhaeni a e dhteh edTeal
declared,

cannot retract; here I am; I cannot change, may
I God amist me !" This historical fact, which has
changed the aspect of Europe, deserved to be corn.
memorated by a national monument. Even those
nations woo *have not adopted his religious tenets
enjoy their blessings; for he has put down the
despotism which forbade free thought, and he gave
back to every nation the right to bring common sense
to bear on religious matters.
The King of Prussia, the King of Wurtemberg, and
the other princes made their appearance on the plat-
form prepi•red for their recept on about one o'clock,
and were received with great enthusiasm. A proces-
sion was formed of the choral societies, a large number
of girls dressed in white and bearing garlands, tile
pupils of the schools, tile deputations from variows
cities and institutions, and the members of the clergy.
The King of Prussia took the leading part in the cere-
monial, and was formally hailed as protector of the
Evangelical Churches in and out of Germany. At two
o'clock, Luther's grand hymn, Ein feste Burg ist
unser Gott" (our God is a tower of strength), was
sung by thousands of voices, and then the monument
was uncovered. It is composed principally of a group
of figures. The statue of Luther is ten feet high; by '
his side are his two protectors—the Elector of Saxony
and the Landgrave of Hesse. The next group shows
Huss, Savonarols, Wicklif, Waldo, Mrlanchton, and
Reuchlin, and the synilmlic statues of the towns in
which the leading events of the Reformation took
place. At night the monument was illuminated.
The crowd of strangers who thronged into Worms to
witness the inaugural ceremonies is described as im-
mense. As many as POMO or 100,000 people were
present, who of coura-z could not be lodged in the town,
and had to seek shelter m well as they could in the
villages of the neighbourhood. About 2,000 clergymen
had arrived from all parts of Germany and Switzer-
land, and even from France, England, and America.

On the above occasion, the following telegram was sent to
the King of Prussia, by Queen Victoria:—

"Pray express toe- e committee for the erection of the
Luther memorial my most hearty congratulations upon
the successful completion of their task, Protestant
England cordially sympathises with an occasion which
unites the Protestant Princes and peoples of Germany."

THE LYE.

SERIOUS Fine.—On Thursday afternoon last, about
three o'clock, a tire was discovered on premises belong-
ing to Mr. Mobberley, and in the occupation of Mr.
John Robins, of the Lye. It appears that the premises
are situate at the back of Mr. Mobberley's house, and
the upper part of the workshop is used as a carpenter's
shop, the first floor consisting of a straw house and
stable. A woman named Emma Horton was standing
near her door, and SSW a quantity of smoke issuing from
the straw house. She at once gave an alarm to Mr.
Robins, who was at work in the carpenter's shop, and he
at once came down, and found the straw house was on
tire. An alarm was at once given, and the Lye fire en-
gine was brought into play, and the Piro-nix tire engine
from Stourhridge, was soon in attendance. There was •
good supply of water, and the fire was soon got under,
' hut not until the place had been nearly gutted. A num-
ber of pelice-otticers were present, and did good service.
The damage dose we are informed will not amount to
more than £3O or £4O, which will be covered by the
Phteuix Fire Office.

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

In the House of Conaisins, on Monday evening,
Lord Eleho asked the Secretary of State for Nk or
whether, in justice to the whole Volunteer force, any
inquiry had hem made, or would be made, to ascertain
what Volunteer regiments or Volunteers showed a
want of discipline at Windsor on Saturday week last ;
and who were the officers that left their regiments on
that oceasion. Ile wished to put this further question.
it being stated that one or two companies of some
administrative battaliims showed great want of
snb-
ordination, and conducted themselves with impromitity
towards the General in command. If that were
proved, AVMS it intended to wipe these companies sit of
the Volunteer Amy List? There was a strong feeling
that such a course should be pursued, and that no
other would be satisfactory.
Sir J. Pakington : On the Monday after the review
I had a conversation with General Lindsay with re-
gard to the occurrences to which the question relates.
Since that time General Lindsay has been absent from
London, engaged in inspecting some regiments tif
Militia in Scotland ; but 101 l daily expecting a revolt
from General Lindsay of what occurred on the day of
the review, and I shall probably receive it tomorrow.
I have also taken steps to ensure General Lindsay's
return to London. Until I have had an opportunity I
of personal conference with General Lindsay, I do not
think I shall be justified in announcing the measures
intend to adopt. I intend to confer very fully with ,
him on the subject, and whatever may be the course I
which I ultimately think it right to ad i 'lit, I hope I
shall be able to take measures that will tend to pre-
vent for the future any repetition of such conduct. ,

NEIGHBOUR'S QUARRELS.

In the Court of Queen's Bench the cause of
"Simpson r. Campbell has been tried, and was a
case of mutual annoyance between the occupiers of ad-
joining houses in the neighbourhood of Kilburn, London. •
The plaintiff was of a musical turn of mind, and was
in the habit of indulging his tastes at what the defen-
dant considered unseasonable hours, and with un-
seasonable pertinacity and iteration. Accordingly, the
defendant, who is engaged in scientific calculations,
and, if not without music in his soul, at all events
having no appreciation of the rbis and matineta
musirak..3 carried on by the plaintiff, his family, and
friends, had applied his mind to the subject, and con-
structed an instrument, fearfully and wonderfully
made, from which sounds, described as positively
terrific in character, were evolved as soon as the plain-
tiff's piano commenced operations, and also occasionally
in the middle of the night, so as to disturb the
slumbers of plaintiff and his wife, and actually cause
them and their children to rise in alarm from their
beds.
The case was not fully gone into, and was only briefly
, mentioned upon application that it might stand oyes
, for purposes of evidence.
The case was directed to stand over upon the under-
standing that the defendant would not continue the
annoyance during the meantime, his Honour observing
that he hoped t, hear nothing more f the case, which
ought to be settled by the good sense of the parties.

Dersx AND ISCAPABLE.—At the Public Office, on
Wednesday, before B. L. Freer, Esq., William Partridge .
was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking
care of his horse and cart on the Hagley-road, on the
previous evening. Police-sergeant Booth proved the
offence, and defendant was fined 0,1 and costs ; M default
seven days' hard labour. Seven days were allowed for
payment.
THE ABYSSINIAN Wse.—Many of one readers will DO
doubt be glad to learn that Mrs. Roberts, wife of Captain
Roberts, who was wounded in the late war, has just re.
ceived a telegram from Sir Robert Nepier to the effect
that the wound in the arm is doing well, and she need
be under no apprehension.
SUDDEN DesTII.-011 Thursday morning last, between
six and seven o'clock. a man named Benjamin Burford
150), residing in Enville•street, was found dead in bed.
From what we can learn, it appears that deceased was of
intemperate habits, and was seen to be, on the previous
night, the worse for liquor. It appears that he went in
home and lay upon the sofa, and was there at four
o'clock in the morning; that he afterwards went to bed,
and was found dead. An inquest will be held upon the
body.
SERIOUS Acernsxx.—On Wednesday last an accident
occurred to a youth named Johnstone, residing in
Church-street. It appears that the unfortnuate lad was
at work at Messrs. Firmstone and MeEwen's iron works.
I band caugh his arm and dragged him over the pulley,
which revolved several times before the engine was
stopped. Some of the workmen picked him up. The
lad's arm was broken in two places, his shoulder true.
hired, his foot injured, and a serious wound at the back
of the head. Dr. Campbell, attended him, and the lad
is doing as well as can be expected.
A MAN'S FINGER TORN Clee.—On Wednesday last, a
man named John Tilley, Gig Mill, was working a chaff
cutting machine at Bagley, when he got his finger en.
tangled in the cog wheels, and, as a matter of course, it
was torn off. We uuderstand that he is getting better,
under the care of Mr. Bayley.
ORRAT ANNUAL SALE OF FAT STOCK:3IMM OSIOS, ,
Perrens, and Wooldridge held their usual sale on the
first Monday in May, at Harley, on Monday last. These
sales at Flaeley are evidently growing importance.
Nearly SOO sheep and lambs were sold, and nearly 40
, head of cattle. The largest collection that has yet been
brought together at this place. There was an extraordi-
i nary attendance, and notwithstanding that mutton mud'
ling at slower price, and that an unusual quantity of
, I sheep are now being sent into the Illakets in every dir.
ectiou, this was every spirited sale,and goad prices were
1 , obtained. Cows reached as high as V 25 ss; sheep out of
; the wool as high as 665; and lambs as high as •151. It
'. will be seen by one advertising eolumns that the next sale
• will be held on Monday, the 15th instant.
