EXTRAORDINAIT HOAX A r CASTLE HOWARD.
In these days el railway., the sight of a ne
coach creates general astonishment ; and so it we. at Castle
Howard on Good Friday, when the vision of an approaching
orachund-four Set the good people at the hotel in a date of
trepidation. But the grotesque appearance of the pae-
angers changed the momentary retrospect to the " good
old times" from one of pleasant expectancy to one of route
astonishment, and possibly one of epprehnesion. The
vehicle drawn up, two gentlemen alight, calm, ligalied,
and important—the two professional men of the trip--
surgeon@ in short. They proceed to attend upon the pee-
. , whom they treat with gnat gentleness, sad forth-
with2rs there slight from the conveyance nearly • dozen
lunatics, harmless and Trite manageable, brought from
• lunatic asylum for • day a recreation amid the sylvan
and artistic beauties of Castle Howard (the Est of his
excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, which is
shown to straogers). The kind consideration of the medical
men for their unhappy patient. won the hearts of
all beholden, and not a few a: premier of pity
and sympathy were heard for the aberratioe of
intellect which had induced human beings to ado"(
the highly ludicrous dresses which they then exhibited
"The Emperor of China" was • notable pence, and
even " Lord Corbels " himself was present most " de-
lighted to get home from those horrid Irish." His
lordship wore a pion of tarry rope for a watch chitin,
to which was appended • gat-iron for • end ! There
was the unwashed, =shaven, whirls-wearing navigator,
with navvy boots malseed ; the astronomer, the man
made of glees, Sc., &a, bat the best of the lot was the
" unfortunate sentleemsa of the Stock Exchange whose
whole fortune had malted away, and who solicited alms of
everybody, and with very great success." Under the
guidons of the "medical men" the lunatics were shown
through the cud., sad the domartica were quite astounded
by a visit from so unexpected and so illustrious a party.
After • thorough day's enjoyment, this remarkable com-
pany of excunionists departed in the order of their arrival,
the objects, of coons, of all cooversation. The fun, how-
ever, was too good to be long kept secret, and it turns out
that the whole affair is • scandalous hoax, most cleverly
carried out, the actors being • set of fin-loving clerk' from
York, whose „characters" most have cost them some days
of study and preparation.—.lfinseAesrer Examiner.

Ts. Wtrg Liortnes LULL —An influentially
attended meeting we. held at L yesterday, for the pur.
P. of protesting against Mr. ttetene's Wine Licenses
Bill ; the Vicar occupied the chair, and the speakers
were Mr. Bescroft, M.P., and Mr. L Bunn, M.P.
Mr. Beecruft, as • conservative, °bleated to the budget
altogether, and contended that, himend of reduceg
the wise duties, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer should have lightened the income tax, re.
defied the malt tax, and relieved the poor man
from the premure of the war impost on to and sugar. He
had no faith in Mr. Gladstone • calculations with respect
I'. a hugely Metered consumption of wine, and believed
that the Wioe Licenses Bill will neither add to the revenue
not promote habits of temperance among the people. Mr.
Maims, as the seconder of Mr. Ryon motion, could not, of
coons, follow his colleague in his strictures on the financial
scheme of the government, but he expressed the deepest
comers at the social danger, which, in bin opinion, the bill
ender consideratien involved. A resolution was agreed to,
consiseullig the bill as calculated to increase the tempta-
tions to intemperance, and as likely to lead to alarmin,r de-
secration of the day of rest. It was also determined to
embody the resolution in a petition to be presented to both
Houses of Parliament. _
