THE ROYAL FAMILY ABROAD.

Wallis the next month the English world will
miss familiar names in the Court Newsman's re-
cord. Our Royal Family, like so many families in
this country, will be disi,ersed far and wide, and
parted, as the poet says, " by mount, and stream,
" and sea." On Monday morning the Galatea
is under orders to sail from Plymouth on a
voyage of not less than eighteen months' dura-
tion. Before her gallant Captain lets go his
anchor again in English waters he will have
circumnavigated the globe. Wherever his ship
touches, he will be saluted with British cheers,
and receive the willing homage of thousands of
British hands and hearts. And when he comes
Lack home, it will be with all his faculties and
Lis energies braced and fortified by duty and
experience, and with an " enlarged capacity to
•' preside over the noblest service in the world."

an English frigate is not the least enviable of

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

WEXFORD, IRELAND, Moult 23.
During a fresh gale of wind and in a heavy sea,
yesterday, a large vessel was seen aground on the north-
east end of the Blackwater-bank off this coast. The
Wexford and Cabot* lifeboats of the National Life-
boat Institution were thereupon promptly launched, and
proceeded to the spot, and found that the ship
was the Conway Castle, td Liverpool, bound from
Greenock to Melbourne, with a general cargo. She was in
• dangerous position, and the crew soon afterwards com-
menoed to throw • portion of the cargo overboard. The
lifeboats remained alongside, for the purpose of saving
life U required. Their crews also assisted in
lightening the vessel, and ultimately, with the aid
of some steam tug., she was got off at high
tide, the lifeboats remaining by her until she was clear of
all the sandbanks. The Cishore lifeboat sustained some
damage in this service. The Courtown lifeboat, which
belongs to the Lifeboat Society, also put off to this used,
but finding that the other boats sad the steamers were
there, and that her services were not required, she re-
turned to her station.

BEAL-WARM, ANGLEEIEY, IlAacs 2A.
Yesterday afternoon the coal-laden brig Jabs:, bound
from Liverpool to Palms, stuck on the Dutchman's
Bank. As soon as she was observed the Pesmoor
lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution went
to her assistance, and succeeded in rescuing eve of
the mew when the boat capsized, and those in bee
were of course immersed. She, however, at ones righted
herself, and all the men fortunately sunneded in safely
regaining her. Three more of the vessel's Grew then
launched the long.beat and got into the lifeboat for emu.
rity, leaving the master alone as board. Saes
afterwards he launched the dingy, bat he wee
unable to reach the lifeboat and unfortunately periahed.
The boat then came on to thisplace with the eight rescued
men. All were in a very exhausted Mate when they
reached the shore but their wants were carefully attended
to. The lifeboat is somewhat damaged aid remains here.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

This day the adjourned half-yearly meeting of
proprietors was held at the City Terminus Hotel ; Mr.
PAWN In the chair.
At the last meeting a proposition was made that the
meeting should be adjourned for two months, but on the
recommendation of Kr. Neild it was adjourned for a fort-
night only, on the ground that by that time he would be
able to announce a satisfactory termination of the litigation
between some of the ordinary shareholders and the direc-
tors.
Mr. NEILL) now proposed following resolution : " That
this meeting consider it would be expedient for the inte-
rest of all the shareholders-1. That all litigation should
immediately cease ; 2. That the ordinary shareholders
should receive a further dividend for the past half-year
at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum ; 3. That the exten-
sion shareholders should have the option of converting
their stook into ordinary stock as from January last, upon
payment of 2 per cent. on the amount of their stock into a
common fund to form part of future profits available
for dividend. That the directors be, and hereby are
1 authorised and requested to adopt, in the company's first
application to parliament, such measures as they may
deem necessary to effect the above °bleat."
The resolution was approved of by the directors and
adopted by the meeting, which further adjourned to the
21st of May.

The weather this morning has been very fine,
the wind having veered round in the night tomtits east.
The Oxford and Cambridge drew, both tookb
exercise in the morning early, and the Cam crew
repaired to Styles boat-yerd, where their boat is
and went outer • paddle, the severe work they have done
not rendering it awiessery ter them to ge over the mune

ever, a perceptible hang at the beginning of the stroke, but
time will of nouns mend that fault. 'They quickened the
stroke es they approached theDung-wherf,whete the steerage
was difficult, as they had only • young flood under them.
Mr. Warner's voice was repeatedly raised respecting
feels, sad after a good paddle above Hammersmith-bridge
they returned to the boatyard at 12.30. We understand
they will not go over the course this afternoon, but in all
probaklity their opponents will.

SHOCKING DEATH OP CHILDREN BY PIRA

Mr. W. Payne, the City coroner, held two in-
quests last evening at Guys Hospital, respecting the
deaths by fire of Mary Anne Cleary, aged 10 years, and
that of John Burnham, aged 2 years.
The girl Cleary was the daughter of a working man
Hiving at 4, Boland'scourt, Borough. On Saturday week
morning, while she was lighting the fire, she stood
inside the fender and her clothes caught light. She
screamed violently, and the neighbours rushed into the
house. Am she stood in the centre of the floor—a mass
of flame—a woman, Mrs. Kelly, threw her arms round
the girl, and then wrapped her up in the skirt of her dress.
Water was then thrown upon the girl and the woman, and
the flames were extinguished. The girl, who was dread-
fully burnt, was earned to the hospital, where she ex-
pired on Sunday.
The little boy Burnham was the son of a sheep skinner,
in Bermondsey New-road. On Saturday he fell off a
chair into the fire, and he received severe injuries, from
the effects of which be died on Monday.
A verdict of " Accidental death" was recorded in each
case.

LETTER OF PRINCE NAPOLEON.

The ',Paris correspondent of the Indep,ciana
.B4e, Writing on the 14th, says •—" There is much
talk of • manifesto attributed to. Prince Napoleon.
This manifesto ought to have appeared. if we may
credit the same rumours, either in the Sidle or
°piston Nationale. But those two papers deemed
it prudent not to publish this document. Accord-
ing to retort, the tendency of the essay is extremely
democratic The Emperor's cousin pronounces for
bans liberty, or a grand national war. In the
latter cans the option of the Prince would rather
be 'tor • war against Auntie, with the alliance of
Pamela. It remains to be seen whether this plan
is stedieable."
Zai Paris correspondent of the Florence Diritto

Immense of a letter written to M. Saint Bons by
Penes Modem against the policy of the sth December.
Plowevt t , this letter will certainly be published erelong,
sad perhaps the telegraph will announce it blare my
eseremosdesee reaches you. Yon will have observed that
Prince Napoleon, wbo bad taken an important place in
the Senate, by his highly eloquent and Br-
eed speeches, Saco his mission in Italy, in July, 1866,
at the time at the conclusion of peace, has
lived apart, in the most profound silence. Prince
Napoleon is not at varier's' with his Imperial cousin, Ss is
often said, but he disapproved, it is well known, the po.
lioy followed by goverment with regard to Germany, and
above ell with regard to Italy. In order sot to place him-
self in open opposition with the head of the Imperial
family, nines Napoleon has lived quite retired, and main-
tained the most rigorous silence. Bat be now thinks he
ought to break this silence, though not in an ofiletal man-
Def—that is, by a speech to the Senate. He has selected
instead the channel of a private letter, and I need not
insist spas the difference of the means the Prince has

adopted.
In conclusion the correspondent of the Diritto
intimates that the letter of the Prince may be
taken as an indication that the policy of the go-
vernment is about to become lees reactionary, as
Prince Napoleon, it is believed, only expresses his
views after arrangement with the emperor.

CRIBTAL PALMA

Of the annual fetes at firienliam none are more
interesting than those of the two great arwociations for
popularising vocal mimic—the Metropolitan ffeheFFls
Society, which represents Mr. Uullah's method of cach-
ing ringing, and the Tonic Sol-Fa Union, which serves as
the propaganda of Mr. Ciirwe.i's new institution. As to
the write of the rival organir.ation, it would be invidious
to hint • preference; but societies which every year
afford • holiday in the country to tea thousand persona,
the majority of them children, must be regarded with
favour by every benevolent mind. The Metropolitans had
their concert on 15aturclay; but thin time there seemed to be
a Flight falling off in the attendance, a circumstance no doubt
attributable to the unusual empt BIM of town, or to a
somewhat later date for holding the festival, However,
• choir of 6,000 voices is to a great extent independent of
the audience, and the youthful vocalists seemed to give
themselves very little concern about a thousand more or
less of company. At ten minutes past three, Mr. Hullah
made his appearance in the great Handel orchestra, and
was escorted, so to speak, to the conductor's chair, by
repeated bursts of shrill cheering. He immediately pro-
ceeded to attack the programme, which occupied about a
couple of hours. Some of it was, no doubt, butter per-
form. d than the rest, but the whole appeared to give the
most intense satisfaction to the audience, which made use
of its privilege of encore without the slightest hesitation
or remorse. As aim as the National Anthem, which
funned au appropriate and loyal termination to the con-
cert, had come to an end, the choir bestowed three hearty
cheer+ upon their conductor by way of leavetaking, and
hurried off to inspect the wonders of thl palace, or to
take the pleasures which, when the weather is fine, are
always to be had in the grounds. Theme latter are once
more splendid with geraniums, petuniaa, and other bed-
ding Tlants ; tut the evening was a little chill. However,
the yiung peorle did not appear to mind that the least in
the wi rid, and the day must, on the whole, be pronounced
to has e been a splendid "out."

TRADE PROJECT? AND RAILWAY ORLIOATIONS.

The Doily New; after remarking that the events of the
past two years have disclosed many of the weak points of
our trading and financial pulley, says that on all sides
xcessive caution has taken the place of over-speculation,
and the fear is tlutt the present carefulness may suddenly
end in a violent reaction. A period of dulnese is
frequently. if not always, succeeded by one of
inflation ; but the chief eafeguazd now lies in the hope of
a steady recovery in trade before the lessons of the past
have bern forgotten. Ac regards the conversion of railway
debentures, into debenture stock, the Deily Nrirx think.
that if it is to take place on a large scale greater induce-
menta must 1,. offered to the public. The fact that
debentures fall due at five I periods has made them a
favourite investment, especially with corporations. Such
securities are more readily convertible than stock, and
loans can he obtained on them with greater facility.
Both the companies and the public, however, would gain
by the proposed conversion ; the former being thus freed
front a constant source of anxiety, and the latter obtaining
an ow xceptionable security at a good rate of interest.

I.IIOO3TIATION 000111

The Teiceraph points out that in the sittings of the Re-
gistration Courts about to begin, a whole range of new
questions will come up for decision, connected with the
novel conditions which the legislature has imposed ai
qualifications to be inacribed on the electoral roll. The
battle for supremacy at the approaching election will, in
a great number of ewe, practically be decided be-
fcrehand. The political engineer, of the so-called "Con-
stitutional" party are springing a number of mines. at
random, in all directions, with • not unreasonable hope
that they will succeed in shattering • few of the un-
guarded defences of their opponents. The nation will
expect that daring the next three weeks the Iberia agents
will apply themselves to their duties with a real stimu-
lated by the consciousness of all that is at stake.

POCK ET Co'

Commenting upon the Woodstock content, the T. eva
asks how long the new Parliament is likely to endure the
flagrant and unmitigated fact of a score or two consti-
tuencies voting just as they are bid, just as stewards
minuet them, and just as they know their landlords
or their masters wish? The Duke of Marlborough
certainly is not making a came for pocket boroughs. Per-
haps his party don't want a cue. Perhaps a case cannot
be made. If it be so, wo are going down the stream, and
there is uo more argument, policy, justice, or statesman-
ship in the matter. We would rather cling to the super-
stition that there is better and worse, wise and foohsh,
nay even constitutional and unconstitutional in this matter
and if there be, we cannot think the Duke of Marlborough
has dune the best he could have done under the
cirrumstaucts.

The Rev. F. G. Lee, editor of the second and thirl
editions of the Directories, Anglicamvsa, Antos that the
eccentricities which distinguished the lat ritualistic
festival at Haydock are not sanctioned by that book.
The principle on which the latter was compiled is that
what was not regularly, formally, and legally abolished at
the Reformation is still in force. " Prom a legal, as well
as from a common sense point of view, this principle,
honestly and fairly applied, is both sound and solid ; as
the heal decision in the Knightsbridge Churches' ease and
the recent judgment of Sir Robert Chillimore abundantly
testify. But this principle by no means covers the intro-
duction of rites and ceremonies, as novel and universal in
their character as they appear to inc entirely out of place
in a church."

LAMBETH REGISTRATION.-(THIS 114 Y.)

This morning Mr. Philip Henry Le Breton,
the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for this
borough, held hie first court at the Semions House, New-
illgtAlll Causeway, Borough. The district first investi-
gated was Cumb«-rwell. On the learned gentleman taking
his peat, . . . .

Mr. Stirke solicitor, who appeared by the instruction
of Mr. Ilughts,3l.P., to •' waist any person claiming to be
placed on the register as a lodgur," inquired whether it
would be necessary for a lodger to attend the court in per-
son to substantiate his claim.
. .

The Revising Barrister said that he hail not come there,
as they might imagine, without having looked into the
matter, seeing that there had been considerable discus-
sion on the lodger claim.. They had Lad the benefit of
what learn. il revising barristers had been doing in Ire-
hind. They were certainly in that part of the kingdom
carrying the proof required for the lodger claim rather too
far. All lie should do, however, was to see that the act
of parliament in point of form was strictly complied with.
Then be shoukl desire to see whether it would or would
not in o-0011: cases be desirable to have the attesting wit-
ness to the claim present. Strict], no doubt that ought
to be the rule in all cases: but in the present court he
should exercise his own discretion:
. .

lr. Stirke said that }notably the signature of
the landlord or landlady would be proved in the ordinary
way by somebody who knew their handwriting.
The Revising Barrister was aware of that, but the act
I rovided that the attesting witness should always prove
the signature. It would not be necessary for the lodger
always to attend ; his wife, his son, or his daughter
could abundantly prove his cireumstames.
The claims of the lodgers in Camberwell were then gone
into so far as the Conservative Registration Association
were prepared to go, that body being represented by Mr.
rarnard, and Mtesrs. :Gazer and Whitely, of Kenning-
too-perk-road.

MR. BRIORT'S ISPEZOIHIS.

Tho Daily News regards the publication. in two hand-
some volumes, under the editorship of Mr. Thor°ld
Rogers, of Mr. Bright's chief "Speeches on Questions of
Pubic Policy," as a political as well as a literary event.
The moment selected is opportune, as marking the ter-
mination of one stage of their author's career. His best
epoechos refute the saying of Charles James Fos, that •
qsioch which reads well must necessarily be, for oratorical
purpol.ea, a bad speech. They may not., as a whole, live
in English literature ; for whose, save those of Byrke,
which aro doe:mations and arguments for the closet,
do so hie ? But they will always deserve to be studied,
as an ripprentiociship to popular and parliamentary
OT dory, they will form materials for the history of our
tins, and many brilliant passages, perhaps some entire
spa cher% will readily become a part of the living literature
of F.nglsnd. Mr. Bright is not one of those men who are
in advance of their age. His converts are not distant gene-
rations. But he has generally been in advanoe of the ad-
ministration of the day ; and his principles are those of the
neat administration. The very men who were his antago-
nists are a few years later his disciples or co-adjutor•.
In other words, Mr. Bright has probably in at least as high
a degree the capacity of the administrative statesman as
of the parliamentary orator and popular agitator. The
"Speeches on Questions of Public Policy," which are the
record of one completed stage of his career, may be the
herald of his entrance upon a new political field, which he
will not less usefully cultivate.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

THE details of the attempt to assassinate the
Duke of EDIN/IrROH have arrived. His Royal
Highness had just handed the chairman of the day,
Sir WILLIAM MANNINO, a cheque for the Sailors'
Home for the benefit of which a public pic-nicwas
being held, when he was shot down. Falling for-
ward on his hands and knees the PRINCE cried
out, " Good GOD, my back is broken !"
and was immediately lifted up and car-
ried to the royal pavilion by some bystanders.
He never lost consciousness, and on his way
thither he complained repeatedly of pain, and
besought his bearers to carry him more gently.
Seven surgeons, some naval some local, were in
immediate attendance, and " uponan examination of
" the wound, it was found that the bullet had pen.-
" trated the back, about half an inch to the right of
" the vertebral column on a level with the ninth rib,
" and, traversing the course of the ribs round by
" the right, had lodged in the flesh, not far
" below thesorface, within two inches of the breast
" bone. No vital organ appeared to be injured,
" the course of the bullet being quite superficial."
Crowds of excited and indignant people now
flocked round the tent, but on being told by the
doctors that free ventilation was necessary, they

THE OUTRAGE IN THE CITY.

MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.)
The two boys, Arthur Forrester Smith, aged 14,
and Hector Augustus Smith, aged 12, whu are charged
with feloniously wounding Mary Anne Nunn, with a mal-
let, with intent to sander her, were this morning brought
before the Lord Mayor for further examination. The
prisoners, it will be remembered, are also charged
with having committed a robbery upon the premises in
Catherine-court, Seething-lane, where the prosecutrix
was employed u ousekeeper at the time the ontvase was
committed upon her.
The prisoners exhibited perfect indliference, and they
whispered together quite unreservedly, when they were
placed at this bar.

Inspector Tillcock reported to the Lord Mayor that the
prosecutrix was going on favourably, and was expected to
recover from the fearful injuries that were inflicted upon
lier„by the prisoners. It is not expected, however, that
she will be able to attend and give her evidence for some
time.

In answer to a question put by the Lord Mayor,
Sergeant Moss the detective officer, said that he had a
witness in attendance from whom the prisoners bad pur-
chased the pistol they bad in their possession at the time
the attack was made upon the proseeutnx.
The Lord Mayor said be thought it would not be advisable
to go further into the inquiry at presert, and !be better
course would be to remand the prisoners for another week.
The prisoners, who did not say a word, were accordingly
remanded.
It is possible that the prosecutrix will be sufficiently re-
covered to atteni and give her evidence at the next exami-
nation.
