THE ART OF COOKING.

It is not often that anyone handling statistics in
T,•lblic gets so grievously mauled as Mr. Michae
ilhall was by Mr. Wyndham the other day. Mr
Malhall, wishing to state the number of persons
cvicted in Ireland since the famine, resorted to the
Parliamentary returns on the subject or some re-
production of them. The returns are, perhaps
injudiciously, arranged in two columns; the num-
ber in the left hand column showing the number
of families evicted in the specified period, and that
in the right hand column—which is, roughly speak-
ing. five times as large—U.l2, number of indiviluils
c‘icted. Mr. Militia' c.dtnly took the right hand
(per-oils), and made it his own lit hand
nunalx:r (families) which he ..multir)lied, in orlPr
to get his own right hand nuinber (persons), I.ot
y five but by seven. By this simple device he
r night out his total of persons evicted in th:ee
millions and a half, instead of half a inidi ix. I'. is
sad to have to add that the credit of the in.ention
;s due to a greater than Mr. Mulliall. Mr. .Glad-
stone d d the same thing during the deba ea on the
i and Bill in 1881, and also give the number. of
( jectuaent suits instituted as the numb,r of evict 1 nis
( arried out, thereby giving rise to a certain.f Lis?.
ood about "15,000 sentences cf death," which is
doing good servir!e to the Irish rebels even to ,his
day.—St. James's Gazette.

THE ILFRA.COMBE FATALITY.

On Saturday the bodies of two missing passengers
of the yacht Monarch were found three miles out of
Ilfracombe, having been first seen by the steamer
Velindra, and subsequently picked up by boatmen.
The bodies were much mutilated, but were identified
by friends as those of Mr. Lunns, of Burton-on-Trent,
and Mr. F. G. Cox, of Chard, whose widowed mother
is still in the town. An inquest upon the recovered
bodies was opened in the evening at the Royal
Britannia Hotel by Mr. Brombam, coroner, and ad-
journed until the 20th inst., pending the Board of
Trade inquiry.

The body of Mr. Francis Winger, commercial
traveller, one of the missing in the recent yachting
disaster at Ilfracombe, was found ol Bull Point on
Tuesday by a pilot boat. This mates the fifth body
recovered since Friday of last week, leaving four only
missing. The burial of C. Buckingham, the boatman
on the Monarch, took place on Tuesday evening at
Ilfracombe Churchyard. The body was carried by
boatmen of the quay, and the coffin was covered with
the Union Jack and flowers. A large number of
persons were present, including Major Yeelea, who
who was in one of the rescuing boats.

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.
13usiress at Mirk-lane has been quiet and featureless.
The sales of home-grown wheat last w, ek in the leading
markets of England and Wales were 53,793 quarters, at an
average of 20s tld ; bat ley, 3408 quarters, average 27s 3d ;
and oats, 3537 quarters, average iss td per quarter. For
English wheat the trade was quiet at rather easier price,.
Foreign wheat was inactive, and vas slightly easier in
value. The flour market was s, inewhat dull and lather
eak. Ihe barley trade was very quiet. Malting produce
was more or less neglected; grinding was dull on spot, but
firm for arrival. Cats were in moderate demand, an t
common sor, s continue to harden. Miize was steady in
value, with a quiet inquiry. There was a fair trade done i 4
beans and peas at late rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The cattle trade has shown more _steadiness. Fair sup,
plies hi.ve been available, but they have not been excessive_
A better inquiry has prevailed for beasts. The dei!veries)
from our own grazing districts have been about the averag‘
both as regards numbers and the cendition of the stock'
Without being active the market has been thme,., and the
best Scots and crosses have sole! at 4s 4d. to 4s 6d per 8 lb.
Foreign beasts were in fair supply and quiet request at about
lafe rates. The sheep pens have been fairly well tilled. A
rather better inquiry has existed, and prices have been well
maintained. The hest Downs and half-breds sold ass Od

ROWLEY REGIb.

INLAND REVENUE PROSECUTION.—At the Public
Office on Wednesday, before Mr. Henry A. Wiggin
and Mr. W. liolcroft, Joseph Walters, brewer,
High Street, Rowley, was summonA for defrauding
the Board of Inland Revenue by adding sugar to
beer after an entry had been made in the brewing
book. Mr, Blake arvis appeared in support of the
prosecution, and Mr. Waldron defended.—The
evidence for the prosecution showed that on May
8 h the defendant gave notice ef his intention to
brew 6a budiels of malt and 2 llbs. of sugar, and
upon an officer visiting the d fondant's brewery, on
the 19th of the same month, he discoverel Bug% in
one of the casks. A sample wai taken from one
particular barrel, and defendant expressed a wish
that the officer would take it from another sample.
—ln reply to Mr. Waldron, Mr. Ciookshank, an
exe.se officer, stated he was not aware that any
excise officer made as much as £7O per annum as
as perquisiaies for detecting and g, tting crnvicted
offending bremrs.—Mr. Waldron : Don't you get a
portion of the fine P—Witness : lam not bound to
answer the question.—Mr. Waldron :I shall have an
answer, and the public shall know how these cases
are got up —Mr. Davis : I can explain the matter
io a moment —Mr. Waldron :I don't want your
explanation..-In reply tMr Waldron witness said the
Commis-ioners on Inland Revenue did allow officers
who detected offenders some remuneration.—Mr,
Waldron . Perhaps you a ill inform us what you do
get ?—Mr, Wiggin : I certainly think you are now
going too far.—Mr. Waldron : Very well, Sir.—Mr.
Stoker, analyst ot Somerset House, stated that he
had analyse(' the sample and found that 41bs of
sugar had been added to the 36 gallon cask of beer,
the original gravity being increased 3-81 degrees.—
Mr. Waldron: And what do you say the Board of
Inland Revenue have been robbed of ?—Witness :
Fourpence or fivepeace.—ln reply to Mr. Waldron,
witness said he was qui' e sure that sugar had been
aided after fermentation had taken place.—Mr.
Waldron denied that his client had de rauded the
Inland Revenue of a paltry fourpence, because as a
matter of fact he only used the amount of sugar he
entered in his brewing book. He also said he
should be able to prove the beer was unfermented
and was not fine, the result being that the ale was
not fit for sale and had to be thrown away. He
complained that ollicera were allowed bonuses for
e ring convictions, and said he had no doubt uct
an abmoninahle system woula be b ought before the
House of I annons.—A tue-ses having been called
whostottd that the beer went bad through impel feet
ffeleentatioa and had to e given to the pigs, Mr.
Wiggin sid lie Bench considered that the defend-
ant wis guilty of ti:e th,:rge preferred agaillst

SDSPEESION OF A WARWICKSHIRE,

BANK,

Messrs. Greenways, Smith, and Greenways, bankers
of Warwick and Leamington, suspended payment on
Tuesday morning. Messrs. Gree!.ways is the oldest
existing private banking firm in Warwickshire, and
was e,tablished over a century ago by Whitehead
and Weston. The announcement of the stop.
laze was received with incredulous surprise,
and eager crowds gathered round the doors
of the bank to read the formal notice, which was as
' follows: "We regret that in consequence of Messrs.
Glyn and Co. having refused our drafts, we are under
the necessity of suspending our payments.—Green.
ways, Smith, and Greenways. Negotiations are pend-
ing with some of our neighbours for continuing the
1 business." The news was carried from mouth to
' mouth like wildfire, and excited knots of
persons gathered in front of the bank
premises and at street corners discussing
the situation. In Warwick the suspension has
affected the whole of the public institutions, and by
far the greater portion of the trading community, as
the bank for many years has enjoyed a practical
monopoly of the banking business in the town and
diatrict. Amongst this large class the greatest alarm
and anxiety as to the extent and amount of the sus-
pension exists. In Leamington the loss is confined
to a smaller area, but is still serious in amount.
Messrs. Greenways were treasurers to the county
of Warwick, the Corporation Union, and the
School Board of Warwick, the local building societies,
the local charities,_ and held large trust funds and
invested savings. The cause of the suspension is due,
it is said, to heavy obligations on Continental tram-
way undertakings. At half-past one o'clock on Tues.
day afternoon notice was posted in Messrs. Green-
ways' bank window stating that, in order to avoid
inconvenience to their customers, they had arranged
with the Staffordshire Joint Stock Bank (Limited) to
open a branch upon their premises. The old firm
will go into liquidation. The excitement had to a
great extent subsided. It is stated that the building

also worth noting, says a critic, that you can't refute
a lie with the hand open. It instinctively shuts.

DEATH OF LORD LOVAT.

Lord Lovat died suddenly on Tuesday while out
shooting on Moy Hall Moor, Inverness, the prouerty
of the Mackintosh of Mackintosh. The intelligence
could hardly be credited at first, as he only left
Inverness on Monday afternoon for Moy Hall, in the
beat of health and spirits. The sad news was soon
confirmed, and the deepest sympathy was expressed
for Lady Li:int and the family in their sad and
sudden bereavement. It appears that, in company
with the Mackintosh and Mr. Cameron, of Lochiel,
Lord Lovat left Moy Hall on Tuesday morning with
a view of enjoying a day's sport on the hill. On
arriving at the shooting ground the party separated,
several keepers accompanying each sportsman as
beaters. A short time afterwards Mr. Cameron and
the Mackintosh were summoned to the assistance of
Lord Lovat, who while quietly walking behind the
keepers had suddenly dropped down dead. The
body was at once conveyed to Moy Hall, where Lady
Lovat and the Hon. Miss Fraser were staying. Assis-
tance was summoned from Inverness, and arrange-
merits n.ade for having the body conveyed to Lovat

MR. LABOUCHERE EXPOUNDS THE LAW

The Freeman's /aurae/ publishes some views ex-
pressed by Mr. Labouehere in conversation respect-
ing tis proclamation meetings in Ireland. He said
the Government were actinz, he believed, illegally
in the matter. They had declared that the meetings
were proclaimed under the ordinary law only
.gave
them power to proclaim meetings if riot or pillage
occurred.

A PAGAN FONERA.L.
Yesterday morning the remains of Yeuyu, a
Chinese s ilor, belonging to the cruiser Yuen now
lying at SpithP.ad, who died on Thursday from con-
sumption, were interred with pagan rights in South-
sea cemetery. A party of thirty officers and men,
hecompani.4d by Mr. Betio, Chinese consular a'.7ent,
followed the hearse. At the mortuary joss paper
was burnt as a kind of sacrifice, and the coffin was
removed amid the shouts of the mourners. At the
grave a large c owd assembled and behsved with

THE BALKAN TROUBLE:

Up to Sunday afternoon no confirmation had been
received at the Austrian Foreign Office of the re-
ported disturbances in Bulgaria. No surprise, how-
ever, would be caused by the confirniation of the re-
ports, as the ground has been industriously prepared
for seditious manifestations throughout the country.
The chief object, indeed, of the provincial tour of M.
Radoslayoff and M. Zivltoff is to meet and counteract
any such events. The present watchword of the
Regency is the re-election of Prince Alexander, and,
with this as the chief item in their programme. they
are sure of the allegiance of the vast majority of the
population. But notwithstanding those disquieting
reports, the official view here is that affairs in the
East are progressing satisfactorily. One reason, no
doubt, for this optimist view is tbat it is not appre-
hended that the Great Powers will be drawn into a
conflict over Bulgaria whatever may happen.
MM. Stoiloff and Matheotf left Sofia on Sunday for
Vienna, and in that capital nothing is known in
Government circles of the visit of M. Stoiloff. It
however, reported that he goes to tell Austria that
Bulgaria must put an end herself to the present state
of things. Another statement is that he intends to
meet Pr'nce Lobanoff, and pave the way for attempts
at an understanding with Russia. A third report is
that he is trying to bring about a recall of Prince
Alexander, but this rumour is not credited.

RUSSIAN ACTION.
It is rumoured in Berlin that pourparlers with
regard to Bulgaria have been reopened between the
Cabinets at tIIA instance of Russia.

TERRIBLE SELLE'WR ECK;
HEARTRENDING SCENES.

The Scotia, a French vessel, bound from Marseilles
to New York with a general cargo and comparatively
few - passengers, went ashore on Saturday at Blue
Point, Long Island, fifteen miles east of Fire Island.
The New York correspondent of the Manchester
Courier telegraphed the following particulars: "The
people on shore quickly collected at the scene of the
wreck, and arrangements were made to bring the
rocket apparatus into use. A line was, in fact, thrown
and made fast by those on board, but it was im-
possible to use it on account of the terrific sea. Heart-
rending scenes were witnessed by the watchers on
shore. Half-clothed men, women, and children,
passengers who had been calmly sleeping below when
the vessel struck, could be seen rushing frantically
about the decks, and their terrified screams and
appeals for help cor.ld be heard high above the roar-
ing of the sea and the shrieking of the wind. Soon,
however, they appeared to become exhausted by
their efforts, and by the cold, raw air, and the icy
water which drenched them to the skin, and they
huddled together in groups, some quietly weeping,
others praying aloud. But pitiful above all was the
anguish of the women, who could be seen trying, but
generally in vain, to afford some protection to the little
children. Equally powerless, to all appearance, were
the officers and crew. The agents believe that the
steamer was badly damaged during the storms which
she must have encountered in her voyage across the
Atlantic, and that she was beached as a last desperate
chance of swing the passengers.
Later reports state that the life-line could not be
worked, but that a lifeboat was launched with great
difficulty, and was rowed out to the Scotia. Owing
to the heavy sea the boat could not get near enough
to the steamer to take off anybody. One frenzied
man, however, made a tremenlous jump and got into
the lifeboat, and was brought ashore. He states that
the Scotia experienced a succession of terrible storms
for over a week. The big vessel was tossed about
like a shuttlecock. The unfortunate passengers
suffered terribly, being thrown about in an extraordi-
nary manner. Many of them had limbsbroken. The
vessel was badly damaged, and at length the machinery
collapsed. A Reuter's telegram from New York
says :—Upwards of a hundred of the Scotia's pas-
sengers have been landed, the owners remaining on
board. The vessel is lying easy on the bar, and the
damage to her cargo is not of a serious character.

URGENCY FOR COERCION.

Mr. W. H. Smith, replying to Mr. Pickersgill, said
that her Majesty's Government, though most anxious
to meet the convenienoe of all sections of the House,
deeme lit to be their duty to ask the House to read
the Bill for Amending the Criminal Law in Ireland a
second time before they proposed the usual Easter
holidays. They could not consent to delay a measure
which they regarded as vital to the interests of order
in Ireland, and on which they staked their own exist-
ence, even for the usual holiday, however sorely it
might be needed.

AN ADVENTUROUS VOYAGE,

A small boat, the Homeward Bound, arrived at
Dover on Monday with a crew of three hands, all
told, having accomplished the feat of sailing from
Port Natal to England. The little craft arrived off
Dover shortly after midday, and later on entered the
port. As soon as she had fairly got into the harbour
her weatherbeaten appearance at once attracted
attention, and it was not long before the history of
the boat was known. She was moored in the Wel-
lington Dock for a few days prior to proceeding to
London. A large number of people assembled on the
Dover quays to inspect the boat, which, like her crew,
were objects of very considerable interest. The
Homeward Bound looks anything but a capable craft
to perform such a voyage—in fact, from her appear-
ance, few people except those of the most adventurous
type would care to trust themselves far in a vessel of
her size in an ordinary breeze. Yet during a voyage
of ten months, with the exception of touching at two
ports, she has been at sea the whole time, and in
some very tempestuous weather. Her measurement is
as follows: Length, 20ft. ; depth, 4ift.; breadth,7ft.
She is only 411 tons, and draws about aft., the height
of her gunwale from the water-level being about
18in. All the upper parts of the craft are well worn
by the constant washing of the sea. The bottom of
the boat is covered with long barnacles, and grass is
growing at considerable length on her hull up as far
as the water-line. The boat was built in accordance
with the ideas of Captain Nilson, the owner, who on
being asked states that his only motive in crossing
was to prove that it was not impossible in such a
small craft to weather the Cape of Good Hope in the
worst part of the year. Captain Nilson also says that
he took part in the Zulu War, and has brought over
a "mail bag" containing several letters to people in
London and elsewhere, which were given to him at
Natal by persons taking an interest in the voyage.
Captain Nilson proceeded with his "mail bag" to
London on Monday evening. The other two members
of the crew are Norwegians, and the vessel left Natal
in May last. During four weeks the most tempes-
tuous weather was experienced, and the crew's cloth-
ing literally rotted off them by being constantly wet;
for four days the waves were frequently breaking
over them. The boat is so constructed that the
hatches can be slid along so as to cover it in almost
entirely.

FATAL BO &TIN G ACCIDENT.

A deplorable boating accident—by which three
men lost their lives and a fourth experienced a
narrow escape—occurred on the Thames off London-
bridge on Saturday night. It seems that the men
hired a pleasure-boat at Blackfriars-bridee on Satur-
day forenoon in which they went to witness the
Oxford and Cambridge boat race. On their return
journey, however, it is stated that they lost their way
in the darkness, and mistook Blaokfriars-bridge
for Westminster-bridge • but discovering their error
as they passed under London-bridge, they attempted
to bring the boat's head round. In this, however,
they were only partially successful, for as she
Game round she came into collision with some barge
Imoorings and immediately overturned. The four
, men were of course thrown into the river, and only
: one survived to tell the tale of the mad accident.
; Shortly before half-past eight o'clock a couple ol
lighterman, named John Bryant, 10, Bull-court,
Tooley-street, and Thomas Lanagan, 18, Suffolk-
place, Snow-fields, Bermondsey, heard loud cries of
I's Help ! " coming from the middle of the stream as
they lay in their boat off Battle Bridge-stairs,
Horselydown, and, quickly rowing to the spot, they
found a man struggling in the water, holding on to
the keel of a boat. They pulled the exhausted man
into their boat, and on landing took him to Guy's
Hospital, where he was promptly attended to. On
regaining consciousness he stated that his name was
James Ward, and that his brother Frederick, a man
named "Big Jack," and another man, whose name
he was not acquainted with, were in the boat at the
time of the accident, and that they bad been drowned.
The man Ward is rapidly recovering from the effects
, of his immersion.

WINCHESTER COLLEGE.

The five hundredth anniversary of the laying of
the foundation-stone of Winchester College was cele-
brated on Saturday. Luncheon was partaken of in
the County Hall in the afternoon, the assembly,
which included both old and present Wykeharniste,
comprising about 1000 persons. The Warden of
Winchester presided, supported by Lord Selborne,
Mr. Sclater-Booth, M.P.; the Warden of New Co-
llege (Dr. Sewell), Sir J. C. Deane, General Sir P.
Radcliffe, the head masters of Wellington (Rev. C.
E. Wickham) and Winchester Colleges, and others.
Reciprocal toasts of the sister colleges were given
and responded to, the Bishop of Winchester pro-
posing "Omnibus Wiccamicis," and Lord Selborne
that of "Stet Fortuna Domus." The latter spoke
of the wonderful outgrowth of Wykeham's work
In founding these colleges, remarking that imagina-
tion failed to represent the full effect of their in-
fluence upon the life and history of England. Had be
alone been the first founder of public schools in this
country he would deserve to be reverenced as one of
the greatest benefactors, for what a glorious number
of descendants he had in Eton, Harrow, Rugby, St.
Paul's, Wellington, Marlborough, Clifton, Chelten-
ham, &c. But he was, in addition, a statesman as
well as a great bishop, and a man of science, profi-
cient in one of the most beautiful and noble of arts,
and his educational work had been the means during
the last 500 years of sending out into the country
men who had proved the strength of the State and
the glory of the Church, amongst them the now
venerable Lord Evereley, one of the best Speakers,
who presided over the House of Commons in its best
days. His lordship concluded by expressing a hope
that, come what might to this country in the next 500
years, even though the changes witnessed might be
greater than ova' the period they were now cele-
brating, Winchester College might still be treasured
amongst the 'best institutions of old England. As a
conclusion of the lunebeon peoceedings, " Duiee
Domum" was heartily sung. Later in the afternoon
there was an assault of arms at the college gymna-
sium, and in the evening the celebration was closed
with an organ recital in the sel‘e•Paroorn.
