EARL PERCY'S MARRIAGE.

TEE union of a PiecT with a CAMPBELL is to
some minds an event of almost historical import-
ance. The son of a Tory Duke has married the
daughter of a Whig Duke and minister, and this
is always suggestive of that union of interest be-
tween the two great parties in the state which no
amount of political animosity of party conflict
ever really disturbs. But it is in the oontrast be-
tween past and present which such a marriage
conjures up that its leading interest will bo
found. The PERCIEB were groat long before
Chevy Chase was sung ; the CAMPBBLLB hold un-
bridled sway over their half-savage hordes of
clansmen almost up to the time of CALvrit and
JOHN Exox. But Presbyterianism is the word
which expresses the real work of the ARGYLL&
With the Reformation and the action which Scot-
land took upon it this groat family came well to
the front. By speech and sermon, by sacrifice of
position and influence, they upheld the principles
still maintained by their distinguished descendant
at 'he India-office, and the last tow months have
shown that the spirit of religious freedom is as
strongly developed in their race now as then.

PIRATED I HOTOGRAPHS.

At the justice-room of the Mansion-hone this
afternoon, William Coleman, John Lawrence, and William
Booper, were brought before the Lord Mayor for farther
examination, on the char of conspiring to sell pirated
iLotogmpha of cop t painting?, including " The
Bailway Station," " e Lest " The rust and
Fecond Sermon," " Nutcrackers," " Other of Be-
han," etc.

It will be remembr red that the prosecution is instituted
ly Messrs. Graves, the well-known publishers in Pall-
e aTh who are the proprietors of the copyrights, one of
which, Frith's Railway Station, cost no lass than 2t,2301.
The pirated photographs were supplied by Lawrence
to Coleman, and hawked about the streets, and some of
Them were mounted by Hooper. Upwards of $OO printed
col:nom of Messrs. Graves' copyrights were found at Law-
tence's premises.
Some further evidence was n-iw given, and the prisoners
were committed for trial. Lawrence and Hooper ware
admitted to bail.

MR. JAMES DISRAELI.

A FAMILIAR figure will be henceforth missed
from Somerset House and the Strand. The wen-
n pointed little brougham of Mr. JisEs Dtsaizta
—built apparently to hold one—was well known
in Lancaster-place and at one of the pr-
rate entrances to Somerset House close by
the steps leading to the Thames Embank-
ment. Its owner, whose sudden death is just
recorded, was a genial, pleasant gentleman,
whose appearance and conversation wore emi-
nently suggestive of the comfortable and pros-
perous man of the world. Well known at the
clubs, and in the parka and lounging-places of
busy, pleasure-taking London, Mr. Jamas Dts-
RAVI had none of the phlegmatic abstracted ex-
pression which some observers see in the counte-
nance of his distinguished brother. Swarthy as a
Spaniard, and with the dark eye of an Asiatic, the
late Commissioner of Inland Revenue was amen-

tially a London man, and a London man of
the type to be seen in the moneyed
haunts of commercial life. Personally, Mr.
JANES DIBRAZLI was a rather self-con-
scious, shrewd, but kindly man. He was
never in parliament, and his recent post pre-
vented him until the passing of Mr. MoNor's bill,
last session, from making any open expression of
the keen and active interest hE felt in politics.
His interest in, and affection for, his brother, was
intense, and for the last two or three years to
mow the government official intimately, was to
hear anecdotes of varying interest but uniform
Undtney on the ex-Premier's success, greatness,
and tact. Mr. Disemi's seat at the Board of
Inland Revenue was granted him ten years ago,
and though his duties have not brought him
prominently before the public he has loft behind
him a reputation for kindliness and consideration
which make him very sincerely mourned in the
departments over which he assisted to preside.
But it is in the wider circles of town-life that
Mr. Janus InsaAxm will be missed most, and
the great assemblages of out-of-door metropolitan
life have lost one of their most regular and most
easily-recognised attendants.

tion sr:Letter he bad not • right to do it. In csnw 'newt.)
of this avowal witness went thete on the night of !Satur-
day week, and foutd the hours open and customers being
seised np to 12 o'clock.
Mr. Lade, solicitor to the wine-sellers and beer-drop
bade, observed that the defendant had kept his
Loins open under an assertion of right, and w.th no
desire to violate the law, which was clearly shown by his
Lasing very fairly given the polio. notice of his intennon.
As beer housed in hoicsughs were permitted by act of
parliament to keep open until 12, be bad been induced by
a Lid nd to believe that, as Cheltes had by the late Repre-
sentation of the People Act been created a birough, seer
shops within its limits were entitled to the Male privilege
as in any other, which was a very fair and reasonable
conclusion.
Mr. Arnold raid that if the act of parliament (passed
many years ago) regulating the bouts at which beer-
Louses should doe. had set forth that they should keep
open till 12 in cities or boroughs where m: tubers were to
be elected, it would confirm the defendant's view of the
matter, that he was entitled to the privilege ; but a= it did
nut. and specifically mentioned the hot °ugh. entitled to the
privilege, Chelsea clearly could not come wthin the scope
of the act of i arliament. As the defendant had fairly
committed the offence under an aasertion of ri.rht, and
with a desire to raise the quest:on, he should nether im-
pose penalty nor cots, but simply require him to enter
into his own recognizance. to come up for judgment if
called upon.

THAMES.

Mr. Edmund Potift; tl;irproinietor of colour white
lead, and chemical works, Poplar, was charged
upon on adjourned summon* with using a furnace so con-
structed as not to burn or consume its own smoke. The
summons abio eet out three other convictions swilled the
defendant.

Mr. Moody, bait6ter, appeared for the crown; Mr.
Littler, burl-ester, defended Mr. Poutifex, who did not
appesr.
The case was made out by Mr. Sandison, the govern-
ment engineer, and by No man, a poliee-coulituble of the
K division. They proved that on the day named in the
summons, the 21th of July, and ou other tbtys, a furnace
not provided with proper apparatus to burn or consume
its own smoke was in operation, and that dense volumes
of black smoke issued from one of the defendant's chim-
ney shafts. There were 100 furnaces in operation on the
defendant's factory. Thu last conviction of Mr. Pontifex
occurred some years ago. It was appealed against and
confirmed at the sessions. It was admitted on both sides
that the former convictions did not apply to the shaft
from which the smoke issued in June and July last.
Mr. Littler said his client had been harshly treated, and
argued that the case must fail, and that the Court of
Exchequer had decided where the hest moans had been
used to consume the smoke from a furnace a conviction
was null and void. In this case the best possible prac-
ticable means had been used to consume the smoke, and
the information ought to bo dismissed.
Mr. Woolrych said the case was proved. On • given
day one of the chimney shafts was smoking densely, and
there was not a proper apparatus for the burning or con-
suming of smoke. lie had no legal evidence of former
convictions, and he should confine himself to the ono case
before him, ou which he convicted the defendant in the
penalty of U. and costs.
Mr. Littler gave notice of appeal.

The twenty-one provincial diets of Cis-Leithan

and the general diet, the Reichsrath, will shortly

rarily suspending constitutional liberties in these
provinces. The details of this ordinance arc so
elastic that in the hands of a reactionary minister
the constitution might be endangered.

Bir A. firraawan, Bart., mid he entirely concurred in

Reviewing Mr. Gladstone's reform speech in Liverpool,
the Deily News remarks that the information given by the
right hon. gentleman with respect to the future is of the
wantiest kind. The restoration of the attainted com-
pounder to all his privileges, an incidental expression of
distaste for the minority clause of the bill of 1867,
and, less wisely, of • still unconquered, but not, we
trust, invincible, aversion for the ballot, make up
all the prospective part of the Liverpool speech.
tin future occasions, however, Mr. Gladstone will doubt-
less speak to his constituent& ou subjects on which as yet
ho has been silent, or has only made short and inexplicit
declarations. The relations of labour and capital in
England, and of landlord and tenant in Ireland, popular
education, the position of nonconformists in the univer-
sities, the organisation of representative boards of finance
in the counties, administrative reform, foreign policy, our
Plan of national defences, the military education, and the
system of purchase in the army—all these are topics, a
few out of many, on which he is bound to speak, with
prudence and reserve it may be, but stall with a clear in-
dication of principles and tendency.
Thu Nereid asks whether the Liberal party is prepared
to seize the property of Irish landlords and give it, under
certain conditions, to the present tenants ? For that, it
says, is what, according to Mr. Gladstone's declaration,
he must propose to do. Can any man, with the slightest
sense of justice or the faintest knowledge of the condition
of Ireland, vote for a man who would cure her evils by
driving away all her capital and intelligence ? At all
events, those who support Mr. Gladstone will not be able
to argue, when he brings forward his scheme for altering
the unjust laws of property in the United Kingdom, that
he concealed from them his views.

WI SWINDELL TALYES FOIL OSSORD

Looking to the lame of the contest between Mr.
Mowbray and Sir Roundoll Palmer for the seat made
savant by the resignation of Sir W. Heathcote, the Mom
observes that the former will be well supported by those
all-believing people who still trod in conservative pre-
miers and Mr. Disraeli in particular, by the majority of
the country clergy, and by the compact body of l/11
changeable@ slowly melting away amid the warmer cur-
rent@ of academic society. Sir Roundel Palmer will have
the great majority of residents—near three-fourths, it is
said—a good contingent from the clergy, and the bulk of
his own profession. It is impossible, our contemporary
says, to speak of either candidate except in the highest
terms; for either would fully maintain the credit of a
most honourable roll. As for the constituency itself,
Oxford is at once most progressive and most obstruc-
tive. and, were it not for the mid-party that
always comes when it is wanted, would often
have found itself at a dead-look. It becomes
either the rock a statesman splits upon, or the living tomb
of some excellent man who is not a statesman, and has
to renounce that character. Sir lloundell Palmer would,
however, represent the whole comtituency of Oxford
better than any partisan, for he is not • partisan, but •
man of singularly independent character and °pintos&
Be has already in parliament expreesed opinions that
would oppose • great, if not insuperable, bar to any *E-
clat connexion with the liberal leader in the Commons,
and nobody has sacrificed more to independence and the
sacred right of private judgment in political matters.

TEE CITE ELECTION.

Speculating upon the operation of the minority clause,
the Post observes that the difficulties with which the ma-
jority have to contend in the city of London. in order to
retain their present ascendency, are not so serious. and the
discredit will be all the greater if it permits, solely by mis-
management (fur the conservatives assuredly do not
amount to three-reveuths of the constituency) one or
more of its seats to be filled by men who do not represent
the opinions of the majority of the citizens.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
Fresh up this morning the arrivals of English wheat
were limited, but quite equal to the demand. Sales in
both red and white parcels progressed slowly, at Monday's
quotations.
With foreign wheat, the market was well supplied. The
inquiry was heavy for all descriptions, and prices had a
drooping tendency.
Wheat, afloat off coast, was neglected, otherwise the
floating grain cargo trade was steady in tone.
Fine malting barley continued in request. at extreme
rates. Grinding and distilling were unaltered in value.
Malt, the supply of which was seasonably extensive,
moved off freely, and prices ruled firm.
The market for oats was rather quiet, at late rates.
Beans were firm, and steady in price.
Yeas were quiet, on former terms.
In flour maul progressed slowly, at about stationary
prices.
Most agricultural seeds were iu request, at full cur-
rencies; but for linseed and rapeseed the demand was
inactive. Cakes were steady.

The Star says that the history of co-operative produc-
tion is not so encouraging u that of co-operative distribu-
tion, and is afraid that some time will elapse before it will
be possible to realise the ideal of co-operative production
cn the grand scale contemplated by some of its promoters.
The extension of co-operative distribution is, however, at-
tended with little hazard, and is obviously and directly
beneficial to the working classes. To th;s method of en-
terprise the working men may lend support with advantage
to themselves and to the community.

COPENHAGEN, Oar. 16.
The address in reply to the speech from the
throne was brought forward to-day in both
houses of the Diet. It congratulates his Majesty
on the betrothal of " the two children of Scandi-
navia," the Crown Prince of Denmark and the
Princess Royal of Sweden, and hails this event as
a new guarantee for unity and brotherhood, and
as conducive to the powerful development of the
independence of the two Scandinavian kingdoms.
Both houses further express their regret at the
failure of the recent negotiations concerning the
North Schleswig question, being hopeful, however,
of a speedy and peaceful settlement, and laying,
with a view to such an event, special stress upon
the concord existing between the King and the
people of Denmark.

BETTING IN LONDON.-SATURDAY.

To-day's proceedings were marked by an unusual degree
of interest. Speen'Aiwa was heavy, took a wide range,
and never flagged throughout the morning. The Liverpool
Grand National was, of course, the bent event dealt with,
and business commenced by backing Pau freely at 100 to 7
and 14 to 1 ; subsequently, however, she receded in a most
unmistakable manner, till in the end 23 to 1 was laid, not
onee or twice only, but several times, and there appeared
to be a general desire to operate against her. By the
taking of 200 to pretty freely towards the close, her
position became a shade better in the quotations, although
her actual status was not in the least degree mended. The
hostile movement was further aggravated by the laying of
6t04 in two or three quarters that she did not start.
Means bile, her static companion, Helen, instead of being
advanced, retrograded still farther, declining from 100 to
3 to BO to 1, and the probability that neither would ran
began to he mooted. Some exceedingly good business
was done about The Lamb, who rapidly advanced
from 100 to 9 to 9 to 1, and at the finish
nine fiftiee Were asked for in vain, so that for
email amounts in some instances 100 to 12 was
finally taken. Chimney Sweep made equally as rapid a
Wide. A large amount of money west on at 10 to 1,
capped by an offer to accept 1000 to 100, and these odds
being no longer obtain, hlo backers contented themselves
with 9 to 1. At tbis price Howie was ultimately backedsfter
the 11's end 10's to 1 had been absorbed. Notwithstands

THE HANDM FESTPTAL.

The preliminary arrangements for this great
triennial musical celebrating, are sow completed, sail we
learn from the prospectus Mat issued that the &Me of
t►e performance are fixed for Monday, June 15th ; Wed•
needay, 17th; and Friday, 19th; the great Miami I.
tabs place on the previous Friday, J661112th. The weeb
to be given on the first and third days sir The Messiah awl
bred in Eggpt, a wise adherence to the former priceless,
since no other of the composer's manly oratorios ma cem.
'mite with these as masterpieces eminently represented,.
of his genius and power. As on former measions, the
second day will be devoted to a miscellaneous selection.
As at the previous festivals, the resources and organisation
of the Snored harmonic Society will form the basis rd
the great musical results to be obtained at these gignatic
performances—the London Festival Choir and the
various provincial contingents ; our open orchestras, rein
forced by many other efficient iustrumentalists JAMMU,*
the assemblage of performers to the enormous number of
come four thousand exccutante. Mr. Costa's nuperine
tendeuce and direction of the performances offers on this.
as on previous occasions, the best guarantee for their
musical efficiency and success, while the excellence of the
business arrangements and details afford similar assurance

of et least a repetition, if not an increase, of former finan.
cial results. The improvements In the acoustical pro.
perties of the space enclosing the great Handel orchestra
of the Crystal Palace, effected in 1862, will be still further
enhanced—that space occupying as area of more than
sixteen thousand feet—in width double the diameter of
the dome of St. Paul's CathedraL

An interesting feature in connexion with the forthcoming
festival is the announcement of the publication on the let
of June, by subscription, of a fat-simile, in photo-litho-
graphy, of liandel's m►nuscript of the Masiah, taken, by
permission of her Majesty, from the original in the royal
library. The profits that may arise from this undertaking
are to be divided in equal shares between the benevolent
fund of the Sacred Harmonic Society and the Royal So.
