BILLS OF SALE.

The Lord Chancellor has introduced a bill to amend
the law relating to mortgages of machinery and
bills of sale. With regard to mortgages of machi-
nery, the bill proposes that trade machinery shall
be deemed to be personal chattels within the meaning
of the Bills of Sale Act, 1554, and it confirms
past mortgages of trade machinery, and permits of
their registration. With regard to the law as to bills
of sales, the bill reserves certain priorities of bills of
sale, and provides that a bill of sale shall be executed
in Use presence of an attorney on behalf of the person.
Trade machinery is thus defined for the purposes of the
Act, unlessthereissomethingin thecontextinconsistent
with such meanings; that is to say, "trade ma-
chinery" means the machinery used in or attached te
any factory or workshop. let, exclusive of the motive

ADDRESS OF CONGRATULATION TO
HER MAJESTY.

The Queen received on Monday an address of con-
gratulation upon the marriage of the Duke of Edin-
burgh from the Convocation of Canterbury. Her
Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Beatrice, re-
ceived the deputation in the White Drawing-room.
The Lord Chamberlain introduced the deputation to
her Majesty's presence, and Mr. Cross presented the
Archbishop of 4:anterbury and the Prolocutor to the
Queen. Ihe Archbishop presented an address to her
Majesty, who returned the following reply :-
-

thank you very heartily for you; Wild and dutiful
address, and for the kind expression of your affectionate
Interest in all that concerns my domestic happiness, and
the health and prosperity of the members of my family. I
trust that the marriage of my son with the daughter of the
Emperor of Russia will tend to strengthen the bonds of
friendship between two great Christian nations. Th. termi-
nation of the war on the Gold Coast, and the peace that
reigns throughout my dominions, are matters on which I
thankfully share our gladness, and with you I trust in God's
goodness that through the measures which have been taken
to relieve the famine now afflicting a large portion of my
Indian subjects the cloud may soon pass over. It is a source of
the greatest happiness to me to witness the efforts now
being made by the clergy of the Church of England, both at
home and abroad, to spread the truth of Christ, to mitigate
the sufferings of humanity, to reclaim the vicious, and to in-
struct the ignorant. In theae efforts they will, I feel, ever
be Of and supported by the support and co-operation of
a faithful laity. They may rely upon my continued desire to
suppress the slave trade and to promote true christianity and
morality among all my people. With yea lam thankful to
hear that the recent alterations is the Act of Uniformity
will prove the means of better adapting some of the public
services of the Church to the wants of the age, and of in-
creasing its influence over the people."

A SAD OCCURRENCE.

At the worship-street poliec•court, In London, William
nerwentwater Ratcliffe, a boy only ten years of age, his
head not reaching the top rail of the &elf, has been charged
with killing Angelina Hoy, a servant girl, by shooting her
with a reviver.
The prisoner was brought up in custody of Inspector
Chaplain, and from facts that have transpived it
appears that the boy was on a visit t. Mr. LOWS§ Da
Saxe, surgeon and dentist, ~f Kingsland-road. whose
nephew he was stated to be. Having been in the house
mince :Holiday last, lie had ellown himself a well-
conducted lad, and was much liked. On Friday
night, shortly after ten o'clock, the servant was
sent upstairs to are the boy to bed, and in
the bedroom the shocking affair twit place.
While the girl was engaged in attending to the
bed the boy found a small revolver which had been
left on the mantelshelf. He picked it up, and turning
to the servant girl, pointed it at her. She was facing
him at the time, and he pulled the trigger without, as
he said, its anything to the pistol. The next second ,
the girl was heard by her master to exclaim that she '
was shot. Witikin a quarter of an hour she died, it Was
supposes! from internal hemorrhage. On the police
being called, Constable Hull arrived, and took the
boy to the station. The pistol, on examination, was
found to be a seven-chambered revolver, two chambers
of which hail been left loaded, and one recently ex-
ploded. It belonged, it appeared, to a nephew of Mr.
De Saxe, Edward Henry Moxon, who assisted him in
his profession, and who is a volunteer.
The unfortunate deceased was, it appeared, in the
service of Mr. De Saxe, under the name of Mary
Angelina Ingram, but it has now been ascertained
that on the 11th inst. only she was married, to a
fireman, without the knowledge of her mistress. The
husband was in court during the hearing.
The first witness called was Mr. Louis De Saxe, who
said—l am a surgeon-dentist et 112, High-street,
Kingsland. The little boy has been on a visit to use
since Monday last. About a quarter past ten last
night the girl went up to see him in beil. He bid us
good night in the parlour, and she went away with .
him.

The Chief Clerk: How old was the servant?
Witness : About twenty-two years of age. Her
name was Ingram.
inspector Chaplain : Her name was by, sir. I find
that she was married on the 11th inst., in secret.
Witness continued : The girl had not been upstairs
more than five minutes when I heard her calling out
" I'm shot; I'm shot" I ran up, and found her on
the landing, and I caught her in my arms as she was

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF
VEGETATION.

A storm, very terrible in its effects, on vegetation,
took place a week ago, in the region about Lyons and
southwards. The Garden correspondent, Mr. Jean
Sisley, of Lyons, states that about Vienne the vines,
which had escaped the destructive frosts of May, were
denuded of foliage, the crops generally so injured, and
the country laid under ice and water to such an extent
that women wept like children at the desolation.
The Canton of Montignac has been fearfully
ravaged. The hail has destroyed all; there are
no more trees, vines, fruit—nothing. The dis-
aster commenced at three o'clock, and lasted twenty
minutes. Thu populace were in the greatest consterna-
tion ; the country people lost everything they possessed,
and, it is feared, many were killed, the hail falling on
them in pieces nearly as large as eg,mi. At Oullins
the Government-road was encumbered for a mile in
length by the trees overthrown by the storm. To the
east of Lyons, there were the same ravages :
the crops, almost ripe, were entirely lost; it
was the same with the fruit trees and vines.
me soil is strewed with leaves and the remains of
branches. North of Lyons there were torrents of rain,
, but no hail to cause serious damage. The glees roofs
of the stations at Lyons were completely destroyed.
I The hailstorm followed in its work of destruction the
boundaries of the Rhone and the Toes'. To the extreme
north of the leer the ravages were very great, the laud
torn up, trees disrooted, the branches twisted and torn
off vines, and crops cut to pieces. Numbers of birds
were killed in the fields stunned by the haiL Many
persons were much bruised, either by the hailstones or
by the fragments of broken glass.

A "FLYINO MACHINE."

An extraordinary ascent was made in London on
Monday night by a M. de Groot from Cremorne
Gardens, in the presence of an excited audience.
M. de (Moroni "flying machine," which has been used
successftilly in Belgium, is constructed of mine and
waterproof silk, and is an imitation of the bat's wing
and the peacock's tail. The wings are 37 feet long
from tip to tip, by an average breadth of four feet;
the tail, 19 feet by three feet--all three (the wings and
taiß being lint into two hinged wooden frames.
The upper surface is covered with prepared sid:
laced to each cane by countless strings, which
are twisted, and form a small rope as they approach
the wooden frame. In the centre of these hinged
frames in an upright wooden stand, about BI feet
high, to which are attached the wings and taiL Upon
this stand M. de Groot places himself, and by means
of three levers works both wings and tail, his power of
propulsion, being increased by a corded seat attached
to the levers, which answers to the pressure of the
body. This apparatus was carried aloft by Mr.
Simmons' new balloon "The Czar," and de7ended by
means of a rope some thirty feet or more below it.
The ascent was made just before eight o'clock, and
was eagerly watched as the machine proceeded over
the metropolis, M. de Groof being observed perched
like a bird in his net-like framework. It was intended
that the Hying man should make his descent in or
near the gardens, but the wind prevented this from
being carried out, and bore him on till he was lost to
view.

LEVEL CROSSINGS.

The Rev. Mordnunt R. Barnard, vicar of lugatestone,
writes to the Pall Mall Gazette of Wednesday :
- -

....
Last evening a fatal accident occurred at a level
crossing close to my front gates. An up and down
train passed each other at that spot, and a little boy
of ten years was the victim. Evidently his attention
was rivetted on the down train; when that had passed,
thinking the line was clear, he proceeded to cross.
But he had not noticed the up train, which was close
on him. In a moment he was knocked down, burled
some thirty yards by the engine, awl was picked up
dead. It is not my likteittitai to dwell on the frightful
scene that presented itself. But suffice it to say, it
was one which all who witnessed it will never
forget. The inquest will be held to-day, and, of
course "accidental death" will be the verdict. No
blame could be attached to the driver, who pulled up
the train as quickly as possible, and ran back to the
spot to render assistance. But I think the dancers of
level crossings might be rendered much leas if railway
companies were to adopt some such rules as the fol-
lowing :-1. To put up hoards on either side of the
line, close to eaoh are, so that every one who crossed
must see them, with the following notice :—" Look up
and down the line before crossing." 2. If every 4river
sounded his whistle when within 300, yards of any
crossing. In my parish them Ivo two level crosilngs,
over which a great nnroLer or my school children have
to pass fourti.,as a day.

School Boards to iguore this fact is simply to equonder

attempt expenaive impossibilitiec. The 'Loudon tichnt
Board seems to amine that every child Li-Ant:en 3 and lit,
who is not prevented from attending school by illness ante
other reasonable causes, ought to be provided for: nay,
that the Act loaves it no option in the Matter. Yet we
cannot believe that :the Edu ation Department se mid
compel any Board to build up to a limit which its own
tables show has never been attaizied and is Lever likely
lobe attained. Those who knew, when the Educotion
Act was trained, how many va,aut places there were
already in existing schools, contended that those plae.
should be tilled before &Bitterne al school accommodation
was provided; aid we still soy that it is the buitueleu
duty of tin' ritsie to see whether the million vacant
places which at present exist cannot be utilised. When
we bear in mind what it costs per head to provide echo
accommodation, we cannot but regard it as deplorable that
many hundreds of thousaads of pounds should be ex.
pended in building fresh schools where they are not
wonted." There are, probably, upwards of :MO vacaumes

THE LATE RECTOR OF EN VI LEE.
Fornmity years the Rev. Alfred Payne offi-
elated as curate at Enville church, and on the
that Ii of the Rev. C. Jesson he succeeded to
to the living as rector of Enville. On Satur-
day last the rev, gentleman while in London,
expired, haNing for some thne past been
enduring eonsiderabh• bodily suffering. His
mortal remains were entombed in the Euville
churchyard on Wednesday. in the presence
of a large and sympathising congregation,
consisting of the parishioners of Emilie and
K Inver. Amongst the mourners were the
Earl and Countess of Stamford and Warring-
ton and the funeral ~lege was augmented by
the tenants on theEnville and Kinver estates.
The church, which for some years had been
undergoing extensive and important internal
and external renovations, was draped with
black, and many of the large congregation
present manifested their deep affection for
their depafted rector by tears. The funeral
service was read by the Rev. Mr. Hoyle. of
Wombourne, rural dean, assisted by the Rev.
Mr. Parker, curate of Enville. There was
a large assemblage of the clergy of the rural

WINDOW GARDENING IN LONDON.

On Tuesday evening Earl Shaftesbury distributed I
the prizes to the winners in a show, held in the Old
College ttardens, Westminster, of the window gardens .
of the labouring classes (men, women, and children),
the domestic ssrvants, Awl the patients of Westminster
Hospital living in the united parishes of St. Margaret's
and St. Johs, Westminster. The show was exten,
steely patronized by the higher classes in the course of
the clay, and it gave a good display of window flowers,
some evidently reared undcr difficulties in home-made
boxes, others betokening that the owners had brought
knowledge as well as care to ,bear upon the objects of
their culture. Dr. Hooker, of Kew Gardens, con-
tributed a specimen box of curious plants, but the
. larger number of plants exhibited were geraniums,
fuschias, nasturtiums, creeping jenny, the " golden
. feather," yansies, and other favourite adornments of
London window-sills. The prizes consisted of some
really good books, principally on subjects connected
with animated and floral nature, well-written, well-
bound, and well-chosen, forming a remarkable contrast
to the "goody-goody "class of literature which was for-
merly given at prize presentations. Money prizes were
also given, and in all there were about 100 recipients
of gifts, a large number of whom were children.—The
Dean of Westminster, Lady Augusta Stanley, the
Rev. Canon Conway, and Mr. J. G. Talbot, M.P.,
were present, and Lord Hatherley and other noblemen
gave their patronage to the pleasant movement.
The gardens were well-filled during the evening and
after the speeches a band played various selections.

A private view was given on Saturday of the great
picture of the Tichborne trial, which is to be exhibited in
New Bond-Street, London. It contains about sevetty prin-
cipal persons engaged, and most of them are admitted to be
successful likenesses.

LIQUOR AGITATION IN AMERICA.

The Chicago Tribune publishes the following from Its
correspondent at Moline, in the State of Illinois : -

The. disgraceful street scenes of Cincinnati, which
resulted in a street riot and arrest of several of the
crusaders, were repeated on a somewhat smaller scale
in this city last night. The Women's Total Abstinence
League, at a meeting held on Tuesday, deputised six of
the members to do picket duty at the saloons and record
the namesof all whoentered. Forthis purpose twoladies,
early yesterday morning, began the task assigned them
in front of a prominent Mail-street saloon. The ladies
were diligent in taking notes up to the hour of noon,
being the observed of all observers. About two o'clock
the monotony was varied. A small crowd of men
from Davenport tapped a keg of beer on the side walk
and invited passers-by to take a free drink. Later in
the day a waggon loaded with beer kegs was placed in
the middle of the street for every votary of Bacchus.
By eight o'clock the crowd had swelled to hundreds.
The mayor appeared and ordered the crowd t.. 1 dis-
perse, at the same time spilling one or two kegs of the
offending malt. No arrests were made, and the crowd
continued its revelry in defiance of the police and the
mayor's orders. At nine o'clock not less than 500
persons had congregated, the women, children, and
spectators lining the side walks, and the devotees
of free beer filling the streets. Short harangues
were made by three of four advocates of licenses.
Shouts were made for the friends of temperance to
appear and defend their views by arguments. No
response being made, jeers and profanity tilled the
room. Threats of a riot were indulged in, but nothing
of a violent nature was done, except to one or two per-
sons on the side walk, who were struck by missiles
hurled from the crowd. This state of affairs continued
without hindrance until near midnight, when the crowd
dispersed, out of sheer exhaustion. The ladies have
been on picket duty to-day, but no disturbance has
occurred."

MR. BRIGHT AND THE LATE MR.
SUMNER.

The Sew York Ting publishes the following letter ad-
dressed t a gentleman in Boston who had sent him a photo-
graph of Mr. Sumner ,-
Rochdale, April 4, 1874.

Dear Mr. Kim,ley,—l am much indebted to you for
your letter, and for the photograph you have sent me.
The portrait is admirable, awl does justice to the great
subject of it. Mr. Sumner spent his last night in
England under this roof, and left us for Liverpool on
the morning of the day on which he sailed. His health
was very much smken, and I was sorry his voyage was
in the winter. The news of your great loss made me
very sail. I can imagine the feelings of sorrow it will
have caused in the hearts of your countrymen. In
this country the press has done justice to your great
senator. His unblemished life, his noble aims, and his
great services to freedom and humanity are freely ad-
mitted and greatly honoured by our public writers.-
Very sincerely yours, JOHN BRIGHT.

THE GAS AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS AT
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
no. envious and useful information about the lights
displayed from the Clock Tower of the Houses of Par-
liament is given in a Report just made to the House of
Commons (remarks the Daily News) It occurred he
Mr. Ayrton, while he was First Commissioner of
Works, to ask the authorities of Trinity House, as
having many maritime lights under their charge,
to let Mr. Douglass, their chief engineer, look at
the apparatus in use, and this return gives the
result of the observations he made in company
with several official and non-official scientific men.
It appears that the two semi-lanterns which a
spectator at Westminster sees 250 feet above him
in the Clock Tower are in the hands of two rivals—one
of whom employs gas, and the other electricity, as the
source of illuminating power. The lights, as is gene-
rally known, are maintained in order to give notice
to members of Parliament and all others whom it
may concern when the Houses are sitting, and for
this purpose they ere required to be sufficient to
throw their rays over a semi-circle having a radius
of three miles. The Wigharu light has three burners,
each composed of 108 jets, placed one above
another on the same axis. The electric light is
produced by an electro-magnetic machine, worked by
steam-power, the currents being conducted from the
machine to the lantern along 1,700 feet of cower
wires. The first observations of Mr. Douglas were
taken at Primrose-hill, a distance of three miles from
the Houses of Parliament. His report is decidedly
favourable to the electro-magnetic process. Thus he
states that the electric light has a superior in-

THE HOXTON MURDER.

Also, at the same court, Sarah Newman, aged forty-
two, married, was brought up to plead to the charge of
the wilful murder of her child, Jane Newman, four
years of age, by cutting her throat. The prisoner ap-
peared to be in a most wretched condition, and hardly
able to stand. She seemed to be utterly unconscious
of what was going on around her, and was supported
in the dock by two female warders. She made no re-
ply when asked to plead guilty or not guilty. Mr.
Sleigh said he appeared to defend the prisoner, and he

POST OFFICE OFFICIALS.

In reply to Mr. Roebuck, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
said much public interest had been excited by the question
of the nay of Post Office servants, and he was not surprised
at the desire for information on the subject. lie could only
say that it was muter the consideration of the Government,
and that communications were now going on between the Post-
master-General am! the Lords of the Treasury with regard to
the rates of pay of Post Office officials in various parts of
the country, and that those representations were receiking
great consideration on the part of the Treasury. In one
or two instances it had been admitted that the rates
of pay would be raised, and the other cases were under
consideration, and would shortly be answered in a manner
which might lie satisfactory and would be consistent
with the Govenunenta views of the public In-
terest. Under these circumstances the Government did
not think it necessai y to appoint a commission to inquire
into the subject of the salaries, because they thought it
was a matter which ought to be left to the Executive
Government, and, with regard to a Committee of the
louse, they thought it would only be losing time.
