It is stated that Lord Milton is again so seriously
ill that he is unable to leave town as soon as was expected,
but it is hoped that in the course of a few days he will be
sufficiently recovered to move to the seaside, in accordance
with the advice of his medical attendants.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer having contra-
dicted passages in the Times report of his Aylesbury
speech, which represented him to have said that there was
no difficulty in dealing with the question of parliamentaiy
reform and that the Reform Act of 1832 was mainly de.
wised by Lord Derby, and entirely carried by his energy,
the reporter publishes in the Times the same passages as
they were given in the five London papers which, besides
the Times, were represented at Aylesbury on the occasion,
in two of the Manchester papers which also had reporters
there, and in a paper published in Mr. Disraeli's own
county. These all agree with the report in the Times.
A number of English ladies of rank, Roman
catholic in religion, have undertaken to collect fund/ in
this country for the relief of the Austrian wounded, and
of the widows and orphans of those who fall. The finan-
cial embarrassment of Austria, they say, is but too noto-
rious, and, overwhelmed as she is with enemies on all
sides, the extraordinary exertions she has been compelled
to make render her quite incapable of providing for the
wants of those who have bled and suffered in her cause.
MUNIFICENT GIFT TO THIS LIFEBOAT CAUSE.—

The honorary treasurer of the Manchester branch of the
National Life-boat Institution, Robert Whitworth, Esq.,
has just received from an anonymous donor (who wishes to
be known only as "R. W.") the sum of 1,0001. to be
devoted to the philanthropic objects of the National
Lifeboat Institubon. In accordance with the wish
of the ever, this large donation sill be expended
partly in providing a new lifeboat transporting car-
riage and boat-house at Lyme Regis, and partly in
furnishing a new boat for Llandawyn on the coast of Car-
-1 narrow The firmer boat will be named the William
Woodcock, after a friend of the donor. In both the above
eases, the new boats are intended to replace old ones,
which have been the means in years past of saving many
lives. The number of lifeboats built by the Manchpatar
branch within the last three years will thus be raised to
WWI.
