PARD3, FILIDLY EVRKING.

M. Beingwtrlot, the Heidelberg ocnriatpouden
of the Temo--aho is the opposition candidat f

German (the language of the majority of the c m-
stituency), and is an exile of ULU—giant NIT
particulars than have yet been published of Coin
de Bizmarek'sfall from his horse. According to
account M. de Bismarck, with two of his friends,
M. de Kendell and Count de Blankenbourg, took
a gallop across country after dinner, and M.
de Bismarck's horse fell in it bog, awl
laid upon his rider. The letter atitea, con-
formably with the telegraphic despatches,
that M. de Bismarck sustained no serious injury;
but it confirms what has been already said, th.e.
he suffers in the muscles whenever ho moves. This
account reads serious, but the latest telegram,
affirm that M. de Bismarck has quito rocovee.l
from the accident.

M. de Villemeesant, while expressing his hp,
rance of the reason why the authorities have pro-
hibited the sale of his paper, the Figaro, in filo
streets, says he hopes the public will tale; the
trouble to go to the book shops where his journsl
may legally be sold, and observes, as truly as
maliciously, that the circulation of the Figurer sur-
passes that of all the government prints together.
The Figaro is prosecuted for having publish .l
report of the trial on the prosecution institut-1
against M. Pastoureau, the Prefect of the Var. M.
de Villemeesant relied upon an article in the C.A..,
which, as he construed it, permitted the publi,A-
tion of reports of libel cases when a public func-
tionary was the defendant. The government dis-
putes this interpretation.
It is beyond all doubt that M. Pastoureau, who
was a prefect at the time of the coup onlered
a man to be shot without trial, and as he was n,.'
killed the first time, he had him brought out and
shot again. M. Dolesvaux's court, without going
into the truth of the matter, hold that the story
was defamatory in regard to M. Pastoureau, and,
therefore, criminal. The Figaro was accordingly
condemned in I,ooofr. fine fur merely repeating
well-known historical fact. _ _

SPORTING NOTES.

Tux HIT/CMS Pl7llBB AT WORMITEII.—The
question, intolerably "vexed" in connexion with this
race, has come to the surface once more—for a new lease
of life too! Without recurring to the intermediate in-
vestigation of this notorious case, we may simply state the
fact that Milk Maid,. who came in flat for the Hunters
Purse at the meeting referred to, has had the race
awarded to her, and Mr. Oolby (owner of The Nun) is
so dissatisfied with the decision, he has expressed hisin-
tention of carrying the matter "into court"—.Bportetsi
(Mutts. .

WEISE:En LT OE/ORD.—On Thursday and yesterday
(says the Sporting Life) the complaints of welshing at
Oxford were numerous. On the first day, one of the
levanters was ducked in the river behind the grand stand,
and had to be rescued by a passing boat. Yesterday,
one of a gang who disappeared after Maodurs race was
put in the water, dragged out again, stripped of nearly
all his clothes, and belaboured with sticks and umbrellas,
so that he was obliged to force his way into the ring for
safety, taking refuge under a portion of the stand until
his pursuers bad departed.
Twelve horses in training, the property of Mr. John-
stone, including Tynedale, Mandrake, and The Dean, will
be sold at Doncaster on Friday in tho race week, unless
previously disposed of by private contract.

Tux Scancrry OF GEOIIBII.—ITS CAUSE AND MIXEDT.
—A correspondent of Land and Water says the present
scarcity has been brought about by disease, not by shoot-
ing down the healthy birds ; and that disease which has
destroyed the grouse these two seasons has been caused by
" winter invading the spring," and preventing the growth
of those plants from which the birds obtain their proper
food. It is a question worth the attention of those
learned in botany and natural history, whether something
might not be done to ameliorate the condition of the birds
in the early spring by furnishing some substitute for
those seeds, buds, berries, greases, &c., on which it is
natural for them to feed, and the failure of which is so
fatal to all our hopes of sport on the 12th. Does anybody
know what eat? Do they frequent the fir woods
Hi hard w er P There are species of grouse that feed
on coniferous shrubs and trees. Would cuttings of fir or
of other trees and shrubs, if distributed about the moors
be of any use to the British species P These may be very
ignorant questions, but the answers to them will be
knowledge to somebody. At present, the only remedy
we can apply is judicious shooting ; and that means, as I
dated in 1i former letter, to kill the birds well down in a
good season, and in a bad season to spare the young
birds and kill the old ones, leaving none but the young
and hardy specimens as breeding stock.

VISIT OF PRIME ARTHUR TO

MIDDLESBOROUGH.

MIDDLESBOROUGH Mostar.
To-day has been a scene of great rejoicing here,

on the occasion of his Boyd Highne&sPrinceirthur visiting
us to open the Public Park presented to the town by Mr.
H. W. F. Bolckow, the chief local ironmaster. Middles-
borough is comparatively • new town. On the spot
where there is • population of 32,000, forty years ago
there was but • single house. The rapid growth of
the town is owing to the discovery of the valu-
able beds of ironstone which are found in the ad-
joining Cleveland hills, and smelted in the town and
district. The iron manufacture of Middlesborough has
grown to such an extent that it is now one of the most im-
portant iron districts in the kingdom. There is also a
considerable shipping trade here, and iron shipbuilding is
one item of our local trade. The town has lately been
made a parliamentary borough, and them is every pros-
pect that the gentleman who hue presented the park, and
whose guest his Royal Highness is during his stay, will be
returned as first member. The town, which is all of modern
build, reveals • better appearance than manufacturing
towns generally, the houses being of superior character and
the streets wide. Altogether Middleeborough is II compact
town, though like all other places comprising blast f urnaces
and numerous other clams, of irpuworks, the atmo-phere is
thick and murky with volumes of smoke. The park boring at
a point of the town which is more free than others from the
deleterious effects of the emote, is a welcome boon to the
inhabitants. The town is approached by railway from
Darlington, the line being an extension of the Old Stock-
ton and Darlington line, now known as the Darlington
Section, which was the first passenger railway made under
the superintendence of Stephenson, whose first Locomotive
—a crude irregular-looking machine—now stands on a
platform at the Darlington end of the line, with the simple
inscription, " No. 1."
To-day the town, at an early hour, wore • very gay
appearance. The streets were lined with flags, floral de-
vices were numerous, and many other temporary onta-
mental erections were to be seen to testify to the loyalty
and joy of the inhabitants. The young Prince arrived
here by the exprem due at Darlington at about a quarter
to four. He occupied the royal saloon during the journey.
He was received by the directors and other officials, and
the volunteers of the town formed • guard of honour.
The royal train was detached from the express, and after
a short stay proceeded onward to Middlesborough, which
was reached at about a quarter pest 4 o'clock. Dense
crowds lined the platform, and received his Royal Highness
with every demonstration of loyal welcome. His Royal
Highness was received by the Mayor and Corporation, in
whose name the Town Clerk read and afterwards presented
the following address:
London, England, 1868-08-11

130IITHWMM.

David Neak, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr.
Burcham for final examination, charged with being con-
cerned with another not in custody in stealing a waggon
load of pollard from the warehouses at the Fountain
Wharf, Bermondsey, the property of Messrs. Phillips
and Co.
Mr. Thomas Beard prosecuted; Mr. Edwin defended
the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner bad been in the employ
of the prosecutors as a labourer, but was discharged on
the lath 'ultimo. He afterwards kept about the premises,
and on the morning of the 20th he, by some means, got
poseession of the keys at a very early hour. When the
superintendent of the wharf came to business he found
the place open, and he missed several sacks of pollard.
From information afterwards received the prisoner was
given into custody.
Peter Pettit, foreman at the PoUary, Bermondsey Wall,
opposite the prosecutors' wharf, said that about six o'clock
on Monday morning, the 20th ult., he saw a van under
one of the loopholes, and Neale and another man on the
second floor of the warehouse lowering sacks full of some-
I thing into the van. Knowing Neale to be employed there
for some time he thought it was all right, and took no
particular notice of them.
A carman, in the employ of Mr. Duke, Curtain-road,
Shoreditch, said that on the morning in question he was
sent with a horse and van to Fountain Wharf, Bermond-
sey, where he met the prisoner and another man. The
van was loaded with pollard, which he took to the pre-
mimes of Mr. Pain, in the Curtain-road, the father of the
man who hired him.
Henry Hayden, clerk to the prosecutors, said Neale
had no business at the wharf, and had no authority to
remove the pollard.
Mr. Beard, on behalf of the prosecution, said that they
had not been able to find the other man, but the whole of
the property had been recovered from the person who pur-
chased it innocently. The prosecutors were therefore
willing to forego further proceedings if the prisoner
pleaded guilty.
By the advice of Mr. Edwin he pleaded guilty, and
Mr. Burcham sentenced him to six months' bard labour.

FASHIONABLE PREACHING.

WE believe English ladies are much better than
their favourite weekly journal pronounces them
to be ; and we hope the clergy are not so bad
as clergymen paint them. "S. G. 0." would have
us conclude that the pulpit has devised two
codes of morals, an easy one for the rich and a
hard one for the poor. Preachers, he says, to
avoid what they know they ought to say but dare
not say, wander away in their discourses from
plainly speaking plain truths, to everything and
anything their ingenuity can extract which may
chance to attract, but is not likely to offend.
Pleasant things are prophesied for morning con-
gregations, and the " Devil and his doings" are
reserved for the evening. We have reached a
pretty pass if " S. G. 0." 's description of our case
is sound. " Does not," he exclaims, " every
" Bishop and preacher to the • upper ten' know
" full well that if, as before God, he did his
" duty from Sunday to Sunday, he would have
"to tell his congregation some truths as to
" their lives they would not endure ?" And there
is much more to the same effect. " Dare one
" clergyman in a hundred—could he get a Bishop
" to do it for him ?—preach Bible truth as plainly
" about the duty of employer and landowner to
" their poor as they expect him to preach to the
" poor the virtues which Heaven demands from
" them, and which will make them better earthly
" servants ? If your great man or any of the
" lesser great ones should live a profligate life,
" should he be a known drunkard, would it be
" justifiable, even in your Bishop's eye, if you
" preached at his vices as he expects you to attack
" those of the poor ?"
It appears serious that such things can be said
by one so surrounded by clerical associations, so
experienced in church matters, and so observant
as "B. G. 0." But something must be allowed
for impulse, and for the tendency to sensationalism
from which this trenchant ecclesiastical censor is
by no means free.

SIR ZOVXDILL PALYEE.

The Telegraph remark& that Sir Roundel" Palmer's ad-
dress to his constituents shows that between him and Mr.
Gladstone there is not so wide a difference of opinion
op the subject of the Irish Church as the kind
friend' of both would have us believe. The
distinguished liberal lawyer sap that "in per-
sonal and political attaohnient to Mr. Gladstone"
he yields to no one, but that he has been unwilling "to
commit himself to a general declaration of policy,. re.
specting the Irish church until he should have before him
" some practical measure in a definite form." Sir
Roundel' is careful to add that he has no sympathy with
the let-alone party. With d view to pacify Ireland, be
would not object to measures "affecting the political
connection between the church of Ireland and the State."
Nay, he would appropriate church revenues "to pur-
poses of general public utility in parts of Ireland
where, from local circumstances," it might be appa-
rent that they were disproportioned to the wants of
the resident protestant population. That declaration
cannot fail to excite much anger among those who
counted on having the rapport of • distingniabed ex-
attorney-general of the liberal party in their protest
against appropriating • fraction of the revenue which

OLD MARKETS.

TUB new market just opened at King's-cross is
attracting a large degree of public attention, bat
there are several old market places in London that
are almost as deserted as the great areas of Ohent
and Bruges. There is a large open space
at Heaton, lying at the back of Pittleld-street,
which for nearly half a century has been a play-
ground for the ragged children of the district.
Not far from this locality, at the back of Paul-
street, Finsbury, is Finsbury-market—a place that
has never come up to the expectation of its pro-
moters. shops intended for the sale of food and
merchandise were let out as tenements to persons
who lived by taking in mangling, and the
only features that reminded the passer-by of
Covent-garden, were a few heaps of vegetable
refuse. Oxford-market, lying at the back of Ox-
ford-street and upper Regent-street, never
exactly realised the hopes of its founders,
any more than Farringdon-market, in Far-
ringdon-street, came up to the expectations of
London, England, 1868-08-11

ready to go off whenever he is called upon. Yester-
day he was speaking off and on nearly all the
afternoon, and by this time had got rather hoarse.
However, he struggled nobly with tLis difficulty,
and contrived to make himself hoard by a pretty
large crowd while he discoursed upon the patriotic
character of the festival which was -about to close,
and the claims which the Fatherland had upon all
Germans. He referred rather happily to the cir-
cumstance that almost all ranks were representel
in the list of prize-men, and among the supporters
of the Rifle Association ; and expressed a hope as
they were thus united for the pursuit of sport, so
would they be found united in defence of the com-
mon country, and for the maintenance of the
rights of each other. In amoluaien, ho asserted
that their motto oughtAo be, " All for one, and one
for all;" a sentiment which was warmly responded
to and loudly cheered by the audience. After this
address the ceremony of distribution wont on,
only the three first prizes in each class being pre-
sented. The names being read out, as I have
already mentioned, those of the winners who wore
present ascended to the balcony of tho Gabon
Halle, and received their rewards from the hands of
the burgomaster. Some of them—especially one
or two of the Tyrolese—were very line-looking
fellows ; and all wore received with loud cheers
when they appeared on the balcony. The first
prize of all, the gift of the city of Vienna, was
won by a rifleman of 11Pichenau, in Baden, but he
was notpresent to receive it. I have no doubt
that these prizes will be esteemed by those who
have gained them rather on account of the honour
which they confer than for their more intrinsic
value ; but that hardly seemed to be the light in
which they were regarded by the crowd
yesterday. The mere announcement that
a certain individual had won a casket or
a cup excited no enthusiasm, and it was not
until the number of ducats it contained, or the
value of the article itself in florins, was made
known, that there was much applause. The spirit
thus exhibited by the public contrasts strongly
with that of the rifleman who, having won the
grand piano presented by the Germans of Now
York, refused an offer of 2,000 florins (somewhat
under its reputed value) for his prize ; and has
carried, or is about to carry, off the unwieldy in-
strument to his home in the Vorarlberg. Though
somewhat advanced in life, he expresses his deter-
mination to learn to play upon his new acquisi-
tion ; and if he can find anybody to teach him, I
have no doubt he will.
The distribution of prises occupied some time ;
and when it was over, amusement was pro-
vided for the numerous visitors by the playing
of two or three military bands. The perform-
ances of these bands are all of the highest excel-
lence. The entertaimnents of the evening were

concluded with a ball, which, though not
crowded as the one which preceded it, wee very
well attended. I have already written enough
about bah, to render any special description of
this one necessary ; and here, therefore, I take
ray leave of the great " shooting feast " of 1868.

1865 (dm height of the last speculative tide), 377
in 18643, 222 in 1867, and now in 1868 only 170
bills. In 186.3 the amount of capital proposed to
be raised by 595 bills was 126,441,7081.; in 1866
it was proposed by the promoters to raise
175,490,6461. by 634 bills; in 1887 to raise
42,638.77,W. by :121 bills; and in the last session
25,207,3581. by 2214 private bills of all classes. The
dininution in the number of bills petitioned for
and the amount of capital proposed to be raised
by them is more remarkable in railway bills than
iu any other class. In some former years
the railway bills petitioned for have been
three-fourths of the whole number, whereas in
the late ,session they have been less than half.
They contrast also in this, that in former years a
considerable majority of the railway bills have
involved new works and powers to raise capital ;
in the lute session the larger proportion of rail-
way bills petitioned for have been for extension of
time to purchase hunt and complete works, for
power to abandon authorised lines, for legislative
sanction to share and dividend arrangements, or
for some other purpose not requiring additional
powers to raise capital. For the • • -

both. Of th‘ta: 103 bills 32 were either abandoned
by the promoters or rejected by the officers and
committees of the Houses of Parliament, the re-
maining 76 having received the royal assent. A
considerable proportion of the 25,207,3561. now
capital proposed to be raised by the bills of the
recent session was included in the bills that have
been dropped or rejected, and considerably less

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(fox OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNEsDAT EVENING.
M. Schneider, who has been suffering from a
sore throat, completely lost his voice to-day, and
was unable to take tho chair in tho Corps Legis-
latif. Baron Jenime David presides for the first
time since his appointment as • vice-president.
The Patric is authorised to say "it is not true that
the Italian government has called the attention of
the French government to the intrigues now
going on in the Farnese Palace in Rome."
But the terms of the Patrie's denial admit
tho existence of tho intrigues in question,
admit that Italy is uneasy at the pretensions of the
deposed Bing of Naples to get back his kingdom,
and allege that the French government has taken
some sort of action on the subject. "General
Menabrea," says the Patric, " is not ignorant that
the French government has never ceased to dis-
courage hopes and ambitions which recent events
may have awakened in the entourage of Francis IL,
or to represent to the government of the Holy
Father that it ought carefully to prevent in his
Holiness' dominions all enterprises and manumvres
hostile to Italy." There waathen, it appears, aneces-
sityfor these representations to the Pope. As for the
idea of the imperial government lending itself to
tho restoration of a Bourbon in Naples, a verdict
of acquittal may be confidently pronounced. There
are other candidates who would be more fasoured
in the event of a break up of the kingdom of Italy.
M. Haentjens, a deputy who sometimes supports
liberal propositions, has instituted • prosecution
against the Meleager de is Scull's for having stated
that the reason why he proposed an amendment
recommending that all the provincial journals
should be supplied gratuitously with the analytical
reports of the debates, was that he is largely in-
terested in the Moniteur du Soir, in whose office
this report is printed.
It is recounted that at the Minister of Justice's
weekly reception yesterday, the judges present,
more especially the younger ones, spoke very
warmly about M. Berryer's recent speech imply-
ing the possibility that a court packed by the
public prosecutor might not always be strictly im-
partial in political cases. Some of them wanted to
give great publicity to a protest, but before the
close of the evening the judicious M. Ilaroche
"calmed their susceptibilities," and persuaded
them that the less said about the matter the
better.

~The Bourse was extremely firm. Rente rose
174 fr. for cash, and 12ifr. for account, closing at
69fr. and 69fr. %lc.; Mobilier rose 12fr. 50c.; Credit
Fonder, 15fr.; and Italian, 20c. It was stated from
Havre that the rise in the price of cotton has
nothing to do with the Alabama question, as was
supposed yesterday, but is owing to large demands
in the English manufacturing districts.
