THE NOVEMBER STAR-SHOWER.

The magnificent display of falling stars seen on
the morning of November 14, 1866, led many to
stitch, last November, for a recurrence of the
rh:enomenon. Astronomers were not very positive,
Aced, in asserting the probability that the
.I,ewer would be seen. The full moon was shining,
;,,e. throughout the morning of November 14, and
hare overspread the sky towards the hour at
It. kb the display was expected to attain its maxi-
-Imo of brilliancy ; so that even if stars had been
• tling in considerable numbers, few could have
-vn seen. But. as a matter of fact, had the night
en ever so clear, we should have seen no
ewer ; for it is now well known that the dis-
, ..3y took place elsewhere. The sun had risen two
r.our, in England when the earth commenced her
through the denser strata of meteoric

.dies.
It enunot be considered that astronomers were
v. far out in their reckoning. In fact, those
, are most familiar with the doubts which at
• , sent hang over our knowledge of the November
.• system are rather surprised at the close coin-
', nce which existed between the estimates of
:::r astronomers and the recorded event than at the
that the display did not take place precisely
the expected hour. In 1968 astronomers had
far less happy in their calculations, notwith-
,•anding the splendour of the display which re-
. orded those who watched on the morning of
\ ovember 14. It was confidently anticipated
• %at the shower would be seen to the best advan-
• .ge in America ; and so doubtful were astrono-
t7, aa to the exact hour of the display in
Vr.Aand. that Mr. Alex. Herschel (who was justly
iw d as the leading English authority in the
ti..o pronounced the 13th as the day on which
shower was moat likely to take place.
Last year. as we have said, astronomers were
bold crouch to announce, though not with abso-
lute certainty, the probable hour at which the
i‘play would attain its greatest brilliancy. That
I.eur was 7.20 a.m., November 14. The event,
while justifying the general accuracy of their cal-
(I:lotions. occurred long enough after the hour
tamed to prevent observers in England from seeing
any save a few straggling meteors which lay on
he confines of the meteoric stratum through which
the earth was presently to pass.
This want of exact coincidence between the
1.-edictious of astronomers and the actual epoch
f the display prevents our pronouncing with any
confidence on the subject of the display of the pre-
sent year. We now know that the earth takes but a
short time—six or seven hours, perhaps—in passing
through the meteor zone. If the passage happens
to take place while it is early morning with us, we
shall see the display, weather permitting ; but if
?Le passage take place during any other part of
the twenty-four hours, we shall see nothing of
the shooting stars. So far as calculation may be
depended upon, it is more likely that we shall miss
the spectacle than that it will be well seen. But.,
as we have said, there is no certainty on the sub-
ject. The chances are about equal that the 13th
or the 14th of November will be the day of the
display, if the meteors are seen in England.
If the calculations of astronomers are justified by
the result, we may see a few " stragglers" late on
the morning of the 13th, and a few more early on
the morning of the 14th ; the former will belong
to one side of the meteor bed, the latter to the
other side, and the denser parts of the system will
Lave been passed through in the daytime on the
rah.—Paay News.

Sc... dissuasion carted, in the course of which hi. lord-

it never would allow to be vest for the purpose of pre-
judicing say of the parties before it. This was an at-
tempt to maks the oonrt an adjunct to an election at Shef-
field. The only mode in which Mr. Bostwick could be af-
fected would be through aferting the case before the
court. The whole procoedieg was a gross violation of the
rules of the court, and an interference with the due admini-
stration of justice.
His lordship read and wholly approved the judgment in
a like matter in the Titchborne case, every word of which
he adopted, and concluded by observing with vigour that
there must be three apologies inserted in the paper in the
same type as the matter complained of, and that the par-
ties must pay the costs of the motion ; failing this his lord-
ship would certainly commit them.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir (I. M. Giffard.)
WAINEB r. onurdwoworern.
Mr. Fischer moved loran injunction to restrain the de-
fendant from imitating a label used by the plaintiff on
bottles of quinine wine, which is sold by him at No 2,
St. Martin's-lane, Cannon-street. The plaintiff's prepara-
tion is celled " Robert Waters's Quinine Wine," and con-
sists of a mixture of orange wine and sulphate of quinine.
The defendants, Chillingworth and Browne, are grocers
and wine merchants in Hatton-gardon, and they sell
quinine wine in ordinary quart bottles with labels re-
tumbling those of the plaintiffs in sire and colour. The
ground of the motion was that the defendants' label
so much resembled the plaintiff's, as to lead the public
to suppose that the mixture sold by the defendants was
manufactured by the plaintiff.
Mr. W. IV. Macheeon, Q.C., and Mr. W. W. Cooper,
for the defendants, were not called upon.
The Vice-Chanoillor was clearly of opinion that the
plaintiff had failed to establish his ease. No ordinary
purchaser could be deceived by any supposed re-
semblance between the labels, which differed materially,
both as to the names of the sellers, which were promi-
nently given, and in other minor particulars. The motion
rau.4 be refused, the costa to becuets in the cause.

Mr. Mellish, Q.C., said he was instructed on behalf of
the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the city of London,
as governors of Emanuel Hospital, to apply. for a rule nisi
calling upon the Metropolitan District Railway Company
to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to bring
up an inquisition for assessing compensation to be
paid fur charity lands taken by the company
with a view to its being quashed- The inquisition
was held before Mr. Henry Toogood, as deputy of the
high bailiff of Westminster, and the motion was made
upon two grounds, first that the warrant should have
gone to the sheriff of Middlesex and not to the high
bailiff of Westminster, and secondly, that if it could pro-
perly be sent to him be had no power to appoint a deputy
but should have held the inquiry himself. The learned
counsel said that besides being the returning officer for
members to serve in pariiament. there was nothing so
obscure as the high bailiff's duties. He was, in fact, an
officer almost tiown to the law.

Mr. Smith applied on behalf of certain burgesses of

quashed. The order had been made for the pay-
ment of certain coats and charges in the defence
of en action for trespass against the Mayor of
Tsmworth and others with reference to certain
alleged corporate property, which
ufoceedings it
was said were for thelserialit of the born The learned
counsel contended that the amount coul not be legally
paid out of the borough fund, and as showing the cha-
racter of the proceedings which the mayor countenanced,
and that they were not for the benefit of the burgesses, he
stated that a sum of 1361. was spent in beer, brandy, &c.,
distributed to the parties who took part in the trespass.

The plaintiff in this case was assignee of Chia. Joyce and
Co., merchant', of London, who became bankrupt in May,
1865. A short time previous to this event Messrs. Joyce
had received two advances of 6,0001. each from
Messrs. °versed, Gurney, and Co., and had de-
posited with them as collateral security some ac-
ceptances, and also some bills of lading for cotton
and coffee. When the securities were realised, 1,8161.
more than the two advances was received, and the ques-
tion now raised was whether this surplus should be handed
to the assignee; of Kamm Joyce, or should be set off
against the general balance due by Messrs. Joyce to Messrs.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE HOBERT SHORT WATIHIS.
The bankrupt, who was formerly steward to the Earl
of Shaftesbury, and a land agent and farmer, of Wins-
borne, St. Odes's, Dorsetshire, was described as land
agent and clerk of the works to a builder at St. Mary's,
Kennington. The C 930 bad been before the court since
November last, having been adjourned from time to time
to await the settlement of the disputes between the Earl
of Shaftesbury and the bankrupt.
Thin was an adjourned sitting for discharge. The ac-
counts show debts of 3,3461., of which 2,000/. is due to
Mr. Hemsley, solicitor, of the Albany? and 256/. to the
Earl of Shaftesbury. On the other side the earl is re-
turned as a doubtful debtor to the estate in the amount of
4,9981., 3,2781. of which is claimed by the bankrupt in
respect of certain drainage coutracts perfected by him on
the earl's estate, and 1,28 W. as the balance on the general
account between them. These sums, he stated, are dis-
puted, and the account is being taken in chancery.
Mr. G. Lewis, for the bankrupt, said he was happy to
Mate that there was no further reason for withholding the
bankrupt's order of discharge, as all matters in dispute be-
tween him and the Earl of Shaftesbury were settled. The
prosecution had been abandoned, and the bankrupt had
taken his acquittal.
Mr. Ifemidey, for the assignees, offered no oppoiition,
and the order was granted.

THE REPRESENTATION OP MIDDLESEX.—No
liberal seat seems now-a-days secure against assault. A
youthful member of • tory noble house baa entered the
field against the two memberefor the metropolitan county.
The seat which Lord George Hamilton hopes to win is,
most probably, that of Mr. Labouchere, because Lord
Enfield, having been three times as long • re-
presentative of Middlesex as Mr. Labouchere, may be sup-
posed to have the firmest bold on the electoral holy.
We feel assured that while there is not the shadow
of a chance for either Lord George Hamilton or any
other conservative, in the roe litan county, there is
least of all a chance of his displacing Mr. Labouchere.
Lord Enfield will lose much of the support he formerly re-
ceived by his recent vote as • Middlesex magistrate in
favour of endowing Roman catholic priests who visit
workhouses, because every intelligent man sees a practical
recognition in that fact of the principle of endowing
popery es a religious system. Mr. Labouchere has made
no such mistake; and as the whole et his conduct
since he was returned to parliament by the constituency
idea of
of Middlesex has met with their approval, the
his being disturbed is out of the question. Mr. Labou-
chere is no mere whig. Ile is thoroughly liberal, and
thoroughly independent, as well as an able man, and
therefore his seat is as safe as if he were already re-elected.
At the same time it is important that his friends and ad-
mirers should strain every nerve to place him in so high a
position on the poll as that no more Wry lordlings, nor
conservatives of any kind or colour, arll ever again
dream of disturbing him in the posseasios of a mat whirl
be has for the last few years with au much credit to
himself, and with eo much sathdaetion to the shiebnal
body of the metropolitan esunty.—Morrear AWesrasse.
