THE LATE MR. BLACK/TT.

It is with much regret that we announce the
death of Mr. Blackett, the late member for New-
castle-on-Tyne. Rather more than a year sines Mr.
Blacked was attacked with paralysis, and compelled
to give up all public business. Retirement produc-
ing little or no change for the better, he subse-
quently resigned his seat in parliament and remained
abroad until his death, which took pleas last week at
Vill ossur Yonne. Mr. Blaekett was only in his
NA year. A promising career has thus been pre!
maturely cut abort. The late member for Newcastle
took second-class honours at Oxford, and early be-
came an occasional contributor to some of the leading
liberal periodicals. In parliament he displayed coa-
siderable activity; in fact, his anxious and unwearied
assiduity, acting en a frame originally by no means
robust, had no doubt much to do with the attack that
ultimately carried him off. He will be deeply and
justly regretted by a numerous circle of friends.

THE FRENCH OFTICEEJ MID THE NAVAL REVIEW.
—Her Majesty's ship Porcupine, Lieutenant Com-
colluder G. M. Balfour, was placed by the govern-
ment at the disposal of the Preach Admiral during
his stay at Portsmouth. After taking the Admiral
from the French corvette to the royal yacht, she
carried daring the whole of the review the °Moms
whom the Emperor of the French had deputed to re-
present him. The Porcupine kept close to the Victoria,
and Albert. Our gallant allies expressed themselves
highly gratified with the grandeur of the spectacle
and the excellent arrangements on board, which
enabled them so well to appreciate it.

It is reported that the committee of the Home of
Lords on Judicial Appeals will recommend the ester
blishment of a Court of Appeal, consisting of the
Lord Chancellor and four law pests, who an to be
peers foe life. There will be no mention of Scotch
judges being raised to that dignity, the constitution'
of the Court being left an open question.
