presented a difficulty in French Commerce—
it now exhibits the same intractability in

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

I.—Tux PEOPLE OF TES NORTH WV highly
favoured. The Queen, speaking for the first
time publicly and in person since the death
of her husband, has stated to them that she
felt that at a time when the attention of the
country has been so anxiously directed to the
state of the public health, it was right that
she should make an exertion to testify her
sense of the importance of a work calculated
to promote the health and comfort of an
ancient city. This was at the characteristi-
cally-nained scotch place of Invercannie,
described as within "an easy thirty miles
morning drive of Balmoral ;" and the occasion
was that of opening a new water-supply for
Aberdeen, whilh the Queen duly performed
by turning on the tap and declaring the water-
works open. The Aberdeen folks are evi-
dently successful in their importunity, they
have thus had two royal visitations within
the month—one of the Prince of Wales at
the inauguration of her Majesty's statue, and
the other of the Queen herself—the one,'
however, in all probability productive of the
other. The Queen could not so gracefully
unveil her own statue as she could open the
Aberdeen waterworks. The people of Glas-
gow, too, have had, we may almost say,
counter-demonstrations of loyalty and democ-

Tee terrorism of Trades Unionists has not exhausted
itself by the fiendish attempt in etiefilald. At Notting-
ham, some men on strike in the hailing trade, having
their faces blackened, attacked others who dared to go
to work, and committed a murderous assault. One man
lies dangerously wounded at tbe hospital, and the
prepetrators of the outrage camped for a time, but have
slum been captured and remanded for a week,
A maims defense was set p in • awe of alleged
felony tried at the West Riding Besasone, at Leeda, on I
Thursday. A miner. named Beard, was charged with
having stolen two fowls, the property of Yeesrs. Henry
Briggs and Co. (Limited). The charge was denied, but
the main plea in defence was that the prisoner WU •
shareholder in the Briggs Company, and that the taking
by one partner from other partners could not be inter-
preted as • felony. He was, however, convicted, and
sentenced to six months' imprimonment, subject to •
cue for the Court of Appeal
8010Ue ROBBINIZS ON TIC GIINAT EANTZNY
WAY.—For a long time hack, goods have been lost in
transit and no clue to them could be risoovered. It
was suspected that they were thrown off the trucks at
unguarded parte of the line, where they were picked up
by confeleratee of the railway servants. This conjecture
seems to have been well founded, for the police have
taken in custody • man named Henry Buckle, who kept
•shop at Stratford. On his premissee there was found
an immense quantity of goods which had been stolen
from the railway. The prisoner woe brought up at the
Stratford Police-coort on Friday and remanded.

he eseertod, war seteally grinding flirt, and not working
off the superabundant water. His witnemes wem
subjected to a rather lively crossuxansinatlon, audit did
not appear by any mewl clear that the mill was kept
going for the ordinary purposes of labour. The

io tb• eliarge of the Recorder to the Grand Jury,
which ordinarily embusses a remind of the principal
Aoki of the last Session of Parliament especially as
they may be calculated to affect this borough,
coupled with observations upon the principal social
qesetioas We day. The charge this year will be
read with much interest, in consequence of the many
important topics brought under observation, and
especially the exhaustive and practical way in which
the subject of amitary improvement is considered.
The capital burgesses assembled at the residence
of the Mayor (Freeland FiUiter, EN.) at half-past
'levee o'clock, to meet the Recorder (0. W. Ferrer,

POOLE.

Tun Dew sanitary Act has led to the consideration
of measures for improving the condition of Poole in
sanitary matters, bet the town lies very flat and it is
computed that it would cost at least £12,000 to do
anything effective in this way. Tbe idea that found
favour at the meeting of the Town Council a month
ago was that the sanitary condition of Poole might be
reformed under the present system, without having
recounts to so important a chamge, and it will be
recollected that a committee was formed to report on
the entire question. Ent after the lapse of a month,
at a sitting of the Town Council recently held, it was
reported that the committee bad had but one meeting,
when a tedious discussion took place, which the
Mayor got tired of and left the chair, and so the
matter had quietly fallen to the ground. The
cholera is not now raging, and probably our coun-
cillors ocutaidar they can afford to wait.

THE LATE BOWILAEr .r AIL SMITE'S ILBAIDEICL
Th. %I 000 u read the reply of Superintendent Lidhury
en answer to the charge which Dr. Smith made against
the force. The superintendent stated that the only
portion of Dr. Smith's letter demanding an answer at
his hands wee this I do most bitterly oomplaio that
those whose duty it was to have been in their place (that
Is on their best) at that hour in the morning wen not
only not rim their rounds, but were not to be found in
the neighbourhood." This clearly had been written
tinder a misconception, for be was quite matisfied that
the constable was on ht. beat, and doing his duty antis-
hetorily. He was met near the Burden Hotel on that
morning about half.pad four by the lamplighter, and
eras seen at Sr. by his sergeant and dismiseed from his
duty. I humbly submitted that there was no blame to
be attached to the pollee in the matter. The house was
not entered by fares, but by • window which bad been
left unfastened. The premises being surrounded bye wall.
the policeman on paring by had not the opportunity of
geeing what was going on inside. In all humility be
wan of opinion that It was impossible for any private
retro to judge whether the police were discharging
'heir duty setishintorily or not.
