THE THAMES STEAMBOATS.

On Tuesday afternoon Messrs. Fuller, Horsey
Sons and Cassell3 opened the tenders which for some
time past has :een invited for the purchase "as a
going concern," of the River Thames Steamboat Com-
pany (Limited). The property of the company com-
prises a fleet of 57 paddle steamers, 19 of which are
at present laid up and without certificates, steam
launches and coal barges, wharves at Woolwich and
Battersea, and numerous piers and approaches on both
sides of the river. The average receipts from
passenger fares during the past four years have
ammounted to £83,096., but last year they fell to
£71,000, and the year's working resulted in a loss of
£ll,OOO. The conditions of sale arranged for the
transfer of the undertaking at the end of the present
month. None of the tenders opened on Tuesday,
however, approached the reserve price fixed by the
vendors, and the property in consequences remains
unsold.

SEIZURE OF VESSELS IN BRITISH
WATERS:

_
A Spanish Revenue cutter on Saturday seized threep
trading boats in English waters after first firing on,
them off Gibraltar. In the meantime the affair had
been observed, and an artillery fire was opened from
the Rock on the Spanish vessel, which was eventually
brought in to Gibraltar, together with the three
traders, by an armed launch of the Royal Navy.

A MILL STOPPED BY EELS.

Mr. Potts, of Glencoe Mills, New York State, was
obliged to shut down his paper mill the other after-
noon on account of the great number of eels which
ran down the trunk and clogged the waterwheel that
runs the paper machine. The head gate had to be
shut down twice in the afternoon and the eels taken
out of the waterwheel and flume. On three other
occasions this spring the mill has been stopped by
eels, but that was at night, and only once each night.
The stream is alive with them, but it was generally
supposed that they run up stream in the spring.

SERIOUS RIOT IN DUBLIN:

Considerable disturbance was caused in Dublin on
Sunday night by a collision between soldiers and
civilians. About half-past eight o'clock some intoxi-
cated soldiers, said to belong to the Scots Guards,
attacked a band in the neighbourhood of Talbot-
street, and broke a drum. They were set upon by a
large crowd, and after a short resistance were com-
pelled to flee towards Sackville-street, where, as usual
on Suncay evening, many soldiers were peaceably
walking. These were set upon by the undiscrimi-
nating mob, and appeared-to be panic-stricken, think-
ing there was a sudden Fenian insurrection. They
fled in all directiuns, many taking refuge in the main
guard at the Castle, and the guard-house at the bank,
at which point the guard were turned out. Exag-
gerated reports having spread rapidly through the
city, many sqldiers, found in streets even verz remote
from the origin of the disturbance, were puipued, in
a few instances being rather roughly handled; put in
tht great majority of cases their aaailants were only
small boys, tiseaning aothing but horseplay. The
sweets were in coinmotion'up to eleven O'clock,' and
Were patitilled by stsona 'pickets.

DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN WESTERN
AUSTRALIA.

An important discovery of gold has been made in
the Kimberley district. The new gold fields are
situated 370 miles from the coast, and have to be
reached through a track of wild country, totally un-
settled, and having no road; the nearest settlement
of any kind is Derby, a town founded in 1884, com-
prising at the beginning of this year 10 houses. From
Perth the only communication with the capital is by
steamer. The intelligence of the discovery has already
had a marked effect in the colony. A decided rush
has begun, and steamers are beirg specially chartered
from Melbourne and Adelaide, besides the usual
vessels from Perth, to convey miners.and speculators
to the new El Dorado. We understand that the diffi-
culties in reaching the gold fields are considerable,
and the lack of roads or a settled population seriously
militates against the successful speculations of persons
who are not in a position to lay out a large BUM of
money. The latest advices received in this country
recommend that no persons should venture who can-
not, besides taking plenty of money, provide them-
selves and their followers with six months' provisions.
The coast round Derby is that noted for the famous
pearl fishery, whence the wondrous Great Southern
Cross Pearl, now at the Colonial Exhibition, com 32.

A DAIRY SCHOOL FOR CHESHIRE,

The May half-yearly meeting of the Cheshire
Chamber of Agriculture was held at Chester on
Saturday, under the presidency of the Mayor. The
report referred at length to the proposed new Dairy
School of Cheshire, and expressed the fear that the
very low prices of the past few years for Cheshire
cheeses were the outcome of an inferior manufacture,
and the idea of opening the dairy institute was to im-
prove the quality and extend the quantity of cheese-
making. It was stated that the new school would be
opened for operation on the 7th June.

A SIXTY FEET DIVE WHILE DRUNK.

At Bow-street, London, on Tuesday, two labourers,
named Owen Davis and John Hendy, were charged
with being drunk and disorderly. Shortly after half-
past six the prisoners were in the centre of Hungerford-
bridge, and were seen by Sergeant Mallon, 4 ER, to
get over the parapet and dive into the water, a distance
of sixty feet. The alarm was given to the police at
Charing cross Pier, and a boat was launched, and put
off to their rescue. In the meantime, however, the
prisoners had swam some distance, and were picked
up by a waterman. They were rowed to the pier, and
it was then found that they were drunk. A large
crowd had collected, and great excitement and some
disorder prevailed. The accused declared that they
were both good swimmers and divers, and had
jumped into the river for a bet. Mr. Vaughan said
they had been guilty of a drunken and foolish freak,
and fined them each ss.

PLANTING FLOWER BEDS.

In a very short time hence active measures will
have to be taken in filling the flower beds with their
summer occupants. In many places the spring flower-
ing plants havebeen so late in coming into bloom that
it will not he possible to proceed with the work of
bedding out so early as usual without destroying some
of the spring flowers whilst in the full flush of their
beauty. Some of my friends are asking with refer-
ence to this matter, Shall we wait until the spring
flowers have lost their beauty, or shall we clear the
beds to enable us to put out the summer bedders at
the usual time? The question is a rather important
one, and requires careful consideration. When the
question has been addressed to me I have suggested
that there should be no undup haste in breaking hp
the beds, or any very great delay in putting out the
plants intended for the embellishment of the flower
garden during the summer season. Under the most
favourable atmospheric conditions the English
summers are very short, and when the bedding out is
not completed by the end of the first week in June it
is practically impossible for them to contribute to the
attractions of the garden for any length of time. I
would suggest that the best course where the beds
are occupied will be to break up a few beds, com-
mencing with the least attractive, and at once replant
them, and so proceed until they have all been planted.
This will be far better than, as is usually done,
making a clean sweep of the spring bedders, and pre-
paring the whole of the beds before the refilling of
any of them is commenced. In many places where
the position is exposed and the soil naturally wet and
cold the winter has committed such havoc that the
appearance of the garden will be materially improved
by the digging over of the beds and the burying of
the remnants of the plants with which they were
filled in the autumn.—The Gardener's Magazine.

A NOVELIST WORKING AGAINST
TIME. _ _ _

Writing in Lippincot;;Vjizine Mr. Julian Haw-
thorne says that he remembers that on one occasion
he wrote for twenty-six consecutive hours without a
pause. This was during his residence in London,
shortly after he had entered upon a literary career.
He had agreed to have a story done by a certain day,
and, as is very apt to be the way with young men, he
had put off the work until the eleventh hour. Then.
confronted by the uncompromising fact that he must
do the work or bee his money, he set himself at the
task with all his might and main. He started in at
nine o'clock one morning and stuck hard at work until
nearly noon the next day. He says he found no
difficulty in writing after the first hour; his thoughts
came freely, and his hand worked mechanically. He
remembers that when he finished the story he became
aware that his little children were playing about the
room where he had been writing; he neither saw
nor heard them while he was at work,
and now they looked more like shadows than
real, tangible forms. He did not feel particulnrly
worried, but his brain seemed to be strangely con-
fused: so, instead of going to bed, as a man naturally
would think of doing, he put on his hat and overcoat
and set out for a long walk. He remained out of doors
until dusk; then, upon his return home, he ate a light
supper, drank two bottles of ale, and went to bed.
The bodily exercise had cleared his head, his brain
was as cool and quiet as could be wished, and he slept
18 hours as soundly and peacefully as a child. Within
the last month Mr. Hawthorne has done a big piece
of work in a remarkably short time. On the 23rd of
March he began and on the 26th he finished a story
of 35,000 words, doing for four days' work averaging
8500 words per diem. I current paragraphlays that
William D. Howells writes each day just about the
amount of matter that would be required to fill a page
in Harper's Magazine-800 words.

A bunday•school superintendent says that what is
wanted in his line is someone who can address a Sun-
day-school without beginning his speech with "when
I was a little boy.
An aged rich lady, who was in the habit of giving
a feast annually to her descendants and relatives, all
of whom expected legacies from her, said, on one of
the annual gatherings: "What a fins sight it is to see
so many branches flourishing from the same root ! "
" Alas ! " exclaimed a graceless nephew, "the branches
would flourish far better it,L. he root were quacr

EDUCATION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB:

A Parliamentary paper has been issued containing
a report, furnished by the London School Board, as
to the education of deaf and dumb children in the
metropolitan district. Since 1874 the Board have
provided special instruction for those afflicted, as it is
not found possible to teach them with ordinary
scholars. Nine centres have been established, and in
these 313, or 60 per cent, of the whole number regis-
tered in London, receive special instruction. Three
additional centres are to be opened shortly. The
teachers employed by the Board have been specially
trained for the work, and, on account of the
large amount of individual attention required to
efficiently instruct the children on the oral system,
it is arranged, as far as possible, that a teacher
shall not have more than 10 children to in
struct. The children are instructed on the oral sys-
tem, and are first taught to articulate and to speak,
and then, as far as possible, taught reading, writing,
arithmetic, and geography. They sit at specially-
constructed desks, which are arranged in a circular
form, so that the children may easily oberve the
movements of the lips of their teacher, and of each
other—an important arrangement to facilitate lip-
reading. A fee of 2d. a week is charged for the in-
struction of each child. The classes have not hitherto
been examined by her Majesty's inspectors, and no
Government grant has been received on account of
the classes, but they are conducted, as far as circum-
stances permit, as public elementary schools.

pointed, and the meeting was then adjourned in. order
that the opinions of the principal butchers might be

A MARRIAGE ARRANGED IN COURT,

At Southwark, on Friday, Henry Grossmi:h, aged
twenty-six, a potman, of 278, Old Kent-road, was
finally examined charged with assaulting Elizabeth
Schofield. According to the statement of the
prosecutrix, about six months ago the prisoner enticed
her daughter, aged eighteen, away from her home,
and subsequently, on prosecutrix meeting him,
assaulted her. Mr. Shell adjourned the case for a
month, and said the punishment would depend upon
what prisoner did for the young woman meanwhile.
Mr. Sheil now -sentenced him to six weeks' imprison-
ment. Later in the day the young woman presented
herself in the witness-box and asked that the sen-
tence might be remitted, as he had promised to
marry her, and she and her companions had been
waiting at the church all the morning with that
object. Mr. Shed: Will he keep his promise?
Applicant: Oh, yes; he has just said again that he
will marry me at once if you will let him out. Mr.
Shell: Your mother ought to have mentioned this to
me. Then I suppose you want me to discharge bias?
Applicant: Yes, your worship. Mr. Sheil : Well, it
was more on your account that I punished him than
anything else, because I thought he had treated you
badly. I suppose I shall be studying your interests
in letting him go, and therefore he is discharged.
Prisoner was then released from the cells, and left the
court with the young woman, stating that he would
marry her next day.

a circular to the Consuls-General at Cairo, requestin
them to hold a meeting in order to decide upon a

claims. It is understood that these claims, which
amount to the sum of £5,000,000, besides a perma-

documents which have never been laid before the

day, the 22nd inst. A man was sent from Batley, in
charge of a hearse and two horses, to fetch the corpse
of a lady who had died at Askern Spa, near Doncaster.
He was cautioned to proceed slowly with the corpse,
and apparently -did so, so far as his control was
allowed. On reaching Ackworth he halted at the
Angel Inn to give his horses some meal and water.
He alighted from the box and entered the inn, but the
defendant who was drunk, mounted the box and
drove off at a furious speed. Proceeding in charge
of the drunken driver, the hearse and corpse dashed
on the highway and through Wragbury, where a
constable gave pursuit, in the direction of, Crofton.
The reins were trailing on the ground, and the
animals were stopped on ascending a hill by a man
named Charles Whittles, who gave the reins up to the
drunk en driver, who again set off at great speed.
Ultimately, the horses and hearse and corpse were
handed over again to the proper driver at Crofton.
The animals, according to the constable's statement,
were in a white lather, and quite exhausted, and
had to take rest. The defendant was fined .C 1 and
costs.

THE SUPPOSED DUEL AT ACTON,

On Monday Dr. Diplock held an inquest, at the
West London Hospital, relative to the death of Wil-
liam Garman Blair, aged 43, a tobacconist, of High-
street, Croydon. This was the case in which it was
alleged that the deceased had participated in a duel.
This, however, proved to be incorrect. It appeared
that Blair left home on Monday last, and was found
lying in an unconscious condition in a ditch at
Wright's brickfield, Acton. It was noticed that he
had been shot behind the left ear, and was bleeding
profusely. He was conveyed to the hospital, where
the bullet was extracted, but he never gained con-
sciousness, and died the same day. In his pockets
were found a loaded pistol and forty-five cartridges.
A verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst
in a state of unsound mind was returned.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A MISSIONARY
IN A CHURCH.

Dr. Danford Thomas held an inquiry on Saturday
at the Ossington Coffee Tnvern, Paradise-street,
Marylebone, respecting the death of Mr. Robert
Burnett, aged 75, of No. 113, liddlestone-road; Col-
lington-park, a lay brother of the London City
Mission. The evidence adduced showed that the
members of that body were distributed all over the
metropolis; and, not being attached to any particular
church, made it a practice to have a reunion annually
in conjunction with the May Meetings at Exeter Hall.
Great difficulty has always been experienced in ob-
taining a church, oWing to a certain amount of pre-
judice among the clergy of the metropolis, but the
Rev. Shotter Douglas, M.A., rector of All Souls',
Laugh am-place, haying placed his commodious church
at their disposal. on Wednesday last about 500
attended divine service in the afternoon, with the
prospect of partaling of the Holy Sacrament. For
this purpose six tables were arranged, and the services
of plate from the surrounding churches were requisi-
tioned. Upon arrival the deceased on entering the
pew placed his hat and umbrella under the seat, and
after the preliminary prayer he was suddenly seized
with a rattlirg in the throat, and a Mr. Baxter, who
was sitting alongside him, having unfastened his
collar and tie, assisted to carry him to the porch of
the church, where he died a few minutes after-
wards. Dr. Harrison, of 64, Great Portland-street,
who was called to see the deceased shortly after his
demise, found that death arose from syncope, owing
to fatty dezeneration of the heart. The jury returned
the'r verdict accordingly.
