LONDON STATUES.

MORALISTS toll us of the worthlessness of fame,
and poets sing its praises, but there are certain
arguments in favour of insignificance which have
not occurred to either. Reputation has its incon-
veniences during life, but posthumous reputation is
an evil which may well be dreaded by a sensitive
man. How does he know who will write his life
or who will execute his statue ? A bad biography
is a terrible injury, but it ia even a greater injury
to be set up in a public place to the derision
of beholders, to be eternally condemned to
stand in an inconvenient posture, to be placed in a
critical pillory, to be blackened with London
smoke, to have one's features marred with smut,
or encased in cement, like the caricature of her
MAJESTY in the Royal Exchange ; to be shifted
hither and thither in accordance with the fickle
taste of some temporary official, and at last per-
haps hidden out of sight in an obscure retreat
known only to policemen and to nursemaids.
Had we not better leave sculpture alone, since
it is not an art which does us credit as a people ?
Or if there is still a demand for marble busts,
and naked nymphs, and sleeping beauties, and
respectable bronze gentlemen in surtouts, let us
at least deliver our public thoroughfares from the
grimy abominations which add in no slight mea-
sure to the ugliness of London. The Duke of
York on the top of a column with a spike through
his head, the abominable exhibition at Hyde-
park-corner, Sir Robert Peel in Palace-yard, and
Sir Robert Peel in Cheapaide, Lord Clyde and
Dr. Jenner, Sir C. Napier and Sir H. Havelock,
would have a fairer chance of appreciation if they
were not thus openly maligned. And why should
we persevere in injustice to the living as well as
to the dead ? Is there any mortal man who
derives ono iota of satisfaction from the sight of a
sooty hero on the top of an arch, or of a sooty
bareheaded statesman in a Roman gown ? If such
a recognition of worthy deeds stimulated others
to noble actions, we could endure a display which
promoted national virtue although at the expense
of national taste; but it is folly to expect that objects
which excite contempt should at the same time
stimulate ambition. No doubt if a great sculptor
arose with genius enough to overcome the dis-
advantages of the age and of the climate, these
arguments against open-air sculpture would be
set aside as worthless; but so long as the art is
only suggestive of mediocrity, or, at best, of mis-
applied talent, it seems injudicious to encourage
it with grants from the public purse.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

IT seems strange to unsophisticated persons that
a simple matter, such as the arrangement of
harvest thanksgiving services, should not only
require to be discussed in Convocation, but that a
committee should be appointed " to consider and
" report as to the way in which the clergy
" and people might be able to use the proposed
" new service without infringing the law." Even
this mild proposition was too great an innovation
for the Bishop of SALISBURY, who " ex-
" pressed great apprehension as the result
"of thus tampering with the services
"of the Church." If the BISHOP'S fears are rea-
sonable, it is evident to the non-clerical mind that
there is something grievously defective in an
arrangement which does not admit, even after the
lapse of centuries, of alteration or re-adjustment.
This rigidity of purpose, this resolution to alter
nothing, to improve nothing, to recognise nothing
that is new, has been in years past the bane of the
National Church. It led during the last century
to the secession of Jorer WESLEY and his fol-
lowers, and it keeps many out of the pale now who
would be good Churchmen if our Bishops did not
drive with such timorous exactness in the old ecclesi-
astical ruts. On points of doctrine we can under-
stand scruples, and make large admissions for
prejudice ; but it is passing strange that, on the
lighter points of church reform, the clergy should
evince such repugnance to a change. Beautiful
as our church service is, almost everyone admits
that it might be improved by some additions, and
several omissions ; that it is wanting in variety,
in brevity, in elasticity. Sensible people ask why,
when this is so generally acknowledged by the
clergy and the laity, no improvement is effected.
It is enough to reply that, in the opinion of the
Bishops and Archbishops, " whatever is, is beet,"
and that the Bishop of SALISBURY reflected, in
some degree, the feeling of his order when ho ex-
pressed his belief that to introduce into the
prayer-book a thanksgiving for harvest would be
to " tamper " with the services of the Church.

THE first of the orders of the day in the House
of Commons on Monday next, is the Election
Petitions and Corrupt Practical at Elections
Bills which has reached clause 5 in com-
mittee. The measure is viewed with growing
favour by Liberal members, and it is generally felt
that its disappearance would be a misfortune to
the cause of electoral purity.

The Minister of the Interior at Brussels, the
Erlto Ala l'orlement states, has prohibited the use of nitro-
glycerine in Belgium.

BALL AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.—Lad night a
grand ball was given at the Mansion-house by the Lady
Mayoress. There were upwards of 600 ladies and gentle-
men present. Dancing commenced in the Egyptian-hall
at ten o'clock. The excellent band of the Royal Artillery
was in attendance, under the direction of Kr. Smyth.

NATAL AND MILITART.

CHATRAM, JULY 3.
A review of the troops comprising this garrison
was held on Chatham-lines this afternoon by his Royal
Highness Prince Arthur, K.O. The force on the ground
included the B troop of the Royal Engineer Train, the
let and 3rd battalions of infantry, and the battalion of
Royal Morikes Light Infantry—the whole numbering
between 2,000 and 3,000 men of all ranks, under the com-
mand of Major-Oencral F. Murray. On the arrival of
his royal highness the troops gave a general salute, the
bands playing the National Anthem. After inspecting
the troops in line his royal highness rode to the flag-stall,
when the entire force marched past by grand divisions, in
open columns, at the conclusion of which a brilliant series
of manunvres incidental to a field-day review were carried
out, the whole terminating with a general advance of the
entire force in line, and the usual salute.

Tho Army and Nary Gazette gives currency to a
rumour that Lord Clarence Paget has expressed a wish to
he relieved from the command of the Mediterranean fleet
early in autumn, his lowlship's object being to obtain a
seat in the new parliament. It is said that he will
be succeeded in the command by Sir Alexander
Milne. The journal says that the Channel squadron has
been ordered to return to port. Some of the ships
will proceed to Plymouth and others to Ports-
mouth. The latter uro expected to arrive at
Spitttad a:ller to-clay or to-morrow. and will re-

the debate came on upon the bill modifying the
concession to cut a canal effecting a junction be-

THE AMENDE OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Tux excited conversation in the House of Lords
last night abundantly justifies us in having
treated " the honour of the Government " as
imperilled by the strange proceedings on
Thursday. Lord MALMESBURY, the LORD
CHANCELLOR, and Lord DERBY as the
representative of " the chivalry," all rose
to vindicate " the honour of the Govern-
" ment" with more or less warmth of indigna-
tion or ingenuity of excuse. It would per-
haps be ungenerous to insist that, in excusing
the Government so emphatically, they confirmed
the grounds of the accusation, but it is scarcely
too much to say that so great an effort to vindicate

PRINCESS'S.

Miss Neilson, whose success on the London
stage, has been steady and progressive, and who has
chosen what is called the legitimate drama in preference
to more popular melo-drama, has been playing a short
engagement at this theatre in the character of Juliet,
which will terminate to-night. She has youth, impulse,
and considerable experience in her favour, and may pro-
bably take a position in London where the supply of good
actresses is far from equal to the demand. She is badly
supported at the Princess's, but, iu many scenes, she
rises superior to her surroundings.

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A RAILWAY
OFFICIAL.

M. Darjou, aged 58, a principal clerk (chef de
comptabilito of the Lyons and Mediterranean Railway
Company, appeared on Thursday at the bar of the Cor-
rectional Tribunal, to answer a charge of embezzlement
and abuse of confidence. The facts confessed by himself
are that an intimate friend of his, M. Desgranges, an
eminent engineer, who resided professionally many years
Austria, where he made the South Austrian railways,
and was in the enjoyment of an income of from 100,000 fr. to
150,000 fr. a year remitted to him from time to time sums
of money for investment amounting altogether to 700,000 fr.,
and that he, while rendering to his principal Flemish
accounts representing the money as invested in securities
bearing interest, lost the whole of it in Bourse specula-
tions. M. Desgranges who returned to Paris at the end of
last year, intending to retire from business and enjoy an
honourable competence gained by hard and successful
work, found himself ruined by the "familiar friend"
whom he had trusted. Darjou, in the letter
containing his confession, had the impudence to
beg his " dear Desgranges" not to be unduly concerned,
and suggested that if he would only advance sufficient
funds to operate upon the Bourse again, there was every
probability that within a reasonable time, "say three
years from the Ist of April next," ho would get all his
money back. An under clerk of the Lyons Railway,
named Martin, is indicted as an accomplice of Darjou,
but he strenuously denies his guilt. The trial, which
was sot concluded yesterday, is postponed for a week.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE JULY STAKES AND CUMBERLAND PLATE.
The Newmarket and Carlisle meetings present
the most attractive features in the racing events of the
ensuing week ; and the prophets have, as usual, given
the public the benefit of their " professional " judg-
ment on the merits of the competitors.
- - - -

For the July Stakes, there are sixty-one nominations.
Bell's life says that, according to recent form, Rysh-
worth and Belladrum are bound to finish close to-
gether ; but the Orphan has shown such improvement
lately that the writer believes Mr. Chaplin's stable will
carry off the' prize with the daughter of Diomedia.
" Touchstone," of the Era, gives the preference to Bella-
drum, V/0)0 " Wizard" of the Sportsnuts and the Sporting
Gazetter pronounce in favour of Ryshworth. The Field
believes that Belladrum is a doubtful starter, and, there-
fore, in the presumed absence of Mr. Merry's colt, Ryah-
worth has only De Vere to fear.

The Cumberland Plate, which has obtained a very roil
acceptance, will, the Field thinks, be won by either I. lora
or Tabouret, that is if Fair Wind be not sent to Carlisle.
lied s Life pull) its faith to John Scott's best, War or the
Spy, and Flora. "Touchstone " prefers Bracken and Fair
Wind, while "the Wizard" and "Augur," of the Sport-
ing Life, like the Field, look for the winner in Flora or
Tabouret.

The Sporting Gazette says that Captain Machell was so
satisfied that the result of the Grand Prize at Alexandra
Park was "all wrong," that he offered to match The
Knight of the Garter against Orion, same weights and
distance, for 2,0001. a side, to run at Newmarket in
October, but Mr. Headman declined.
Bremo LISTI3.—A number of betting men have been
summoned before the Newcastle magistrates for having
exposed lists at the recent Newcastle meeting. Thirty-
two summonses were issued, but only one appeared. The
defendant, who pleaded ignorance in mitigation of his
offence, was tined 10s. Warrants were issued for the appre-
hension of those who disregarded the summonses. At
Worcester, too, summonses have been issued against
well-known betting list mon, the summonses being made
returnable for Monday.
Tux Nsw LAW as vu DEFAULTEI2S.—At the meeting of
the Jockey Club on Wednesday next, Mr. Chaplin will
move, and Colonel Lowther second, the following motion:—
" That the Jockey Club will not enforce the penalties
imposed by their resolutions of the 15th of June, 1808, for
default in bets, unless the complaint shall have been lodged
with the Committee of the Subscription Betting Rooms at
Tattersall's, or at Newmarket, within three months of
the bets being due. That a copy of this resolution
be sent to the said committees forthwith." The
object of this motion, says the Sporting Gazette,
is to enable the resolutions passed on the 15th of Juno to
take effect, which must otherwise remain useless, and of
no inure value than waste paper ; because, although a man
may be well known to be a defaulter by everybody, unless
he is proclaimed such officially, his creditors are powerless
to enforce the penalties against him.

ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS AT THE GREAT NOIITRZEN

RAILWAY.

John Smith and John Norry, young fellows about 23
years of age, were charged before Mr. Barker, with at-
tempting to pick pockets at the Great Northern Railway,
King's-eras&
Mr. G. 0. Nash, solicitor, defended ; Mr. Kitson watched
the case on behalf of the company.
From the evidence of William Thorogood, one of the
company's detectives, it appeared that about i o'clock
yesterday afternoon, he saw the prisoners with another
attempting to pick pockets on the platform. The prisoner
Smith, who was carrrag a cost, attempted the pockets of
no lees than four ladies and whilst the prisoners were in
the booking office Smith was seen, both by Thorogood and
an officer of the name of Ranaley, to put his hand into the
pocket of a lady. Smith gave a correct address, and Norey
a false address. Nothing was known of the antecedents
of Smith, but Norey was, it was stated, known to the
police as frequenting railway stations for the purpose of
committing felony.
Mr. Nash said that it was • case of suspicion only, and
asked for the dismissal of the prisoners.
Mr. Barker sentenced the prisoners to three months'
bard labour in the House of Correction.

11 false and fraudulent pretences, from Peal Bowen, a
tAilor, of No. 72, New-road, WhitechapeL
The prosecutor, a Jew, said he conducted a loan society,
in fact, he was himself the society. In December last the
prisoner applied for a loan of 51., and then gave the name
4,1 a person in Lucas-street, St. George's-in-the-Bast,
:lying exactly opposite to him. He was not satisfied with
security, and demanded another, which was furnished.
Prisoner showed him receipts for rent purporting to be
rigned by his landlord, for two years. He agreed to lend
the prisoner 51., and advanced him the money in the pre-
/WI:ICC of his two sureties, Mr. Chaplin and Mr. Pate, de-
ducting 12s. 6d. for interest, in addition to 2s. lid. for in.
~uiries, which was for work and labour done.

(THIS DAY.)

Seeing triviality and litt'entee in the debate on
the Irish TA-form Bill, the Times nevertheless is espreesed
by its moderation, and is induced thereby to Wiese that
it would be easy to pees a desert such bills before the pro-
rogation. In another article the Timm shows that Mr.
Aytoun would have saddled the new parliament with •
quarrel ready made to It. hands. With regard to last
night's debate in the Lords, on the ca e of Sir Charles
Darling, oar oonteroporary observes that* large liberty will
be claimed by, and must be concedel to, a great comma-
' sity like Victoria. However mush we may disapprove
the proposal to make a present to • late governor, it is not
so absolutely extravagant that the Colonial-office should
be censured kr permitting it to be discussed.
The Dolly News treat. of the exciting scenes in the
Commons oa Thursday ; the latest Aleyeeleise sews ; the
wide circulation at the present nomad of a persisioes boy
literature ; end last night's digressing on the SCOW of
Victoria. On the latter head, the Doily Irene eneemts
that a better c raves the riihs• Iskee by Me !sasses
bathos, would seem to be— to permit the governor on the
spot to give so much formal aseistance to his mieleters as
i. necessary for their free action in the assembly, on the
anderstinding that the final sanetioa of the mown will
depend on the decision arrived at by the imperial govern-
ment, to be announced by the Secretary of State.
The Herald and Stamford are almost at a ices to de-
scribe their indignation with Mr. Disraeli's parliamentary
censors. According to the Hero'd Mr. Gladstone confesses
himself in spontaneous concurrence with revolutionists all
the world over. And this man aspires to be Prime
Minister of England ! And Mr. Lowe sits silent, and the
Times approves !

The Pod taiga Yr. Disraeli with attempting to throw
on the Sovereign personally the odium which must attach
to any resistanoe to the declared policy of a large majority
of the representatives of the people.
Referring more particularly to the Boundary Bill, the
Telegraph says that day by day the position of the
ministers is becoming more difficult. It objects, however,
to hurrying the last moments of a ministry gradually
going out. Mr. Bright, it thinks, should be above platform
invective.

Lord Salisbury, says the &ar, who made • pungent
I maiden speech in the House of Lords last night, may be
right in denouncing the doctrine enunciated from the
woolsack as " a mockery and a delusion ;" but colonies
that enjoy representative institutions, and create and de-
stroy ministries, are no longer in a state of pupilage ;
and it will need all the wisdom of parliament to perfectly
reconcile the dignity of the crown with the rights of
colonial legislatures.

It appears, and we are sorry to * ss.ered
the fact, that amongst our *on' villa& fowl"
the goose is not to be depended on. It is not
safe to dine off it without some assurance as
to its way of living, and especially the regu-
larity of its diet. Where these are not properly
looked after its fat is apt to become poisonous.
Lllte will to like ; and so this silly bird, it seems,
is fond of " fool's parsley," among other vege-
table poisons. There is this, however, to be said
for the creature's sense : the weed to which it is
partial does not hurt the bird, but only makes
its flesh noxious to those who take it for food,
and it is supposed that the goose which was fated
to coat this poor woman her life had indulged its
taste too freely. Another alternative was sug-
gested by the medical witness. The geese which
are sent in such numbers to London during tie
week before Christmas arrive in many cases so
closely packed that decomposition is brought on,
and they poison whoever eats them. Professor
Jousx RODGERS, who examined the stomach of
the widow CLEMENTS, found no poison, but very
evident traces of its action, and the jury found
that the poor lady was poisoned accordingly. We
hear nothing of the origin of this particular goose ;
but it is well known that a great many are sent
from Ireland. If it is not too late, Inspector
Byer rrr might look a little further into the
matter.

The health of Queen Maria Pia is sonsewitat im-
proved, and the court physicians trust that her
Majesty will be able to proceed to Italy, to pay a
visit to her royal father, about the middk of April.
It is said the Queen labours under excessive

nervousness, and that of late she has suffered from
aggravated attacks of this painful disorder.
The weather still continues dry, and the harvest
pmeßects are not promiaing. Another year of
searcity like the present would inflict serious evil
upon Portugal. The untoward state of Brasil,
the failure of the vintages for the last 20 years,
sad the amircity of the crops et fruits, oil, and
cereals have seriously affected theresounies id the
wonky. All descriptions of trade have suffered,
and ministers, sadly in want of money, know not
how to levy more taxes on an ahead over-
burdened people. The last cabinet tried a new
tax on articles of consumption, and failed signally ;

Mr. Orwar sailed attention to the cost of the
military estehlishaseekta in our colonies, and espe-
cially the ataff, which be showed was excessive, and
moved to rookie* the vole by the number of 2,768
men, being one-half the garrison in the West Indies
and 7dtauritins.
Sir C. Rusent and Colonel Hassan: argued
against the amendment.
Mr. CABDWILL pointed out that the amendment
as it stood would go to decrease the army generally;
but he was glad to see a disposition to require the
colonies to take upon themselves the cost of their
protection.
Major Aram; thought the house ought to know
the cost of the colonies.
Sir J. PAKIN4TON replied to the various points
which had been raised, and
Mr. OTWAY having withdrawn the amendment,.
the vote was agreed to.
Two other votes having been also agreed to, the
house resumed.
The Consolidated Fund (362,31031.) Bill was read
a third time and peeped.
The Land Writs Registration (Scotland) Bill ;
the Indian Railway Companies Bill ; the Inclosure
Bill ; the Marine Mutiny Bill ; and the Registra-

read a second time.
Some other business was disposed of, and the
