Yesterday morning Professor Jowett, the Regius
Professor of Greek in the University of Oxford, preached
; at the Church of St. Janne, Marylebone, to a very large

St. John's Gospel, verse 63, "The words that I speak unto
you, they are spirit and they are life."
War.cxs IF 1867.—The Statistical Committee of
Lloyd's have published an analysis of wreaks and casual-
ties during the year 1867 as compared with 1866. It re-
sults from their returns that the total number of casual-
ties last year was 12,513, against 11,711 in 1866. The ;
total losses were 2,343, of which 105 were steamers, in
1867, against 2,234, of which 113 were steamers, in 1866.
The PAU in which the cargo nu entirely lost num-
bered 1,168 last year and 1,946 in 1866, The
loss of life in 1867 contrasts very favourably with
that of the year preceding, the total being only 1,346,
against 2,644 in 1861 s. The committee, however. observe
that the returns on this head are still most imperfect, the
actual number being in excess of that given in the various
tables. The month in which the fewest losses have
occurred for the past ten years is July, the heaviest being
November. An elaborate geographical summary of the
wrecks and casualties, arranged according to the
voyages performed, shows that of the entire list of
total losses, numbering last ear 2,343. 20 per
cent. occurred in the British islands; while of the
other sections, the heaviest—that which included the
Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia—contributed only
cent. The Cape colonies, the Persian Gulf, Australia,
Polynesia, California, and Greenland appear to have been
almost blanks as regards total wrecks of foreign-going
ships in 1867, although they supplied a few cases of con-
structive loss. hi the British islands the number of vessels
raised last year, after sinking, was 32, and in the rest of
the world only There.were 5 cases of loss from piracy

TTIZ XEDDLESIX LLT.CTION.

The Daily Netts cannot make the mane cue.* for the
county of Middlesex as for Lancashire. The former is
esi.entially and notoriou'ly liberal, and it has often shown
itself radical. Yet ft has allowed a tory minority to place
their candidate, politically an infant unable to discern his
right band from his left, at the head of the poll. It has
repeated the ignoble part played by Westminster. If
Lord Elideld had coalesced with Mr. Labouchere at first,
as be was fain to do at last, Lord George Hamilton would
never Dave entered the field. Misunderstandings lk•tween
candidates usually extend to their friends. Sides are taken
where there ought to be but one side. One section will
have nothing to do with one candidate; another with
another; every secession provokes a couuter-seceesion ;
and the worst is that a great number of quiet people v.vike
up their mind.; to stand aloof from both. Only in this
way can the fact be accounted for that thousands of
liberals looked on yesterday said allowed a tory to be re-
turned for Middlesex.

ATLINTIU TELEORAPII M.P.S.'

Is there any subtle connection between the At-
lantic Telegraph and Conservative pi-M.74)les e W.
rk fir information. At first eight nothing would
Fir an wore natund than that those who brought
the pettiest scientific enterprise of madern tunei
to a successful issue should be the stawich advo-
cates of progress. To annihilate time and vaco,
and to flash messages under the oceans fr.un
nation to nation, is tar too daring an in-
novation for the really Consorv.stive mind.
It means improvement and change, and
the breaking down the old barriers of isolation
and distrust. It means knowing and respecting
and liking the people of other countries thou►
our own ; kind it supplies in the special case of
America the material link which was alone want-
ing to unite as one family the great Anglu-Saxon
race. Such is surely the moral of the Atlantic
Tt. legraph, and it is superfluous to add that
Toryiim is the very reverse of this. That all
foreigners est frogs, and that English' non
arc wiser, better, and nobler than the rest of the
rations of the earth put together, ia the good old
Tory creed. Easy and speedy communication
means the extension of free trade principles, and free
trade is still hateful to Conservatism. How then

are we to account for the banner under which the
hadiag men of the Atlantic Telegraph have
marched into the Rouse of Commons ?
Sir RR UAIW GLAsa has been returned for
Bewdley ; Sir DANIEL. Doom, whose first
electim for Cricklade was actually announced
to him on the Great Eastern's deck, has
beta re-elected and now Mr. GEOUGE Rwor,
who will sit as a Conservative for North Durham,
which has been hitherto honourably distinguished
as an eminently Liberal county, has been added as
the third member of the telegraphic triumvirate
who will zealously support Mr. Dime/LILL
What does it all mean ? The first and lust named
M.P.'s have been, moreover, actively engaged in the
itocesa of uniting England with America for
many long years, and have devoted the best ener-
gies of their lives to the extension of submarine
telegraphy. Can it be that they now regret their
own handiwork, and that having brought the
great Republic to our very doors, they have mid-
& nly grown frightened, and so " lift their hands "
against " Americanising our institutions," whit-
ever that phrase may mean ?

DRAMA.

ISADLEI'S WELLS.
A drama prcduccd a this theatre on Monday
evening, with the title of Sieben, sr the Sired Ballad
£seg,r, is, we believe, entirely new to this country,
although it has been performed with success in the United
States. It is founded upon Miss Braddon's latest novel,
(nailed" Run to Earth." Probably by way of nuticipating
keetite criticism, Miss Braddon entitled her story " A
Bevel of lecideut ;" and this description un-
dos.beedly applies to this ►ersion of the American
plsiwrigkt. bioks is above all a drama of inc dent,
in which the characters bear but the slightest resemblance
to t) pie of real life. It °rens with a robbery and murder
of an unfortunate sea captain by a twacherris
keeper, Dennis Waynian (Mr. R. Edgar), aided by an old fa-
miliar stageruffian. Black ILlsom (Mr. Looms). Black Wl-
wan has &pretty daughter, withal/lea-ant voice and winnin
way, Jenny Minors (Miss Halewood), who is employe I
by her halter in unconsciously decoying victims. S'irs
&tomes a witness of the murder of the captain, and flies
froth I.cr home in horror to seek a livelihosl as a street
ballad-singer. Baring fainted one evening in the street,
she is conveyed into the nmasioa of Biz Oswald tiverheigh
(Mr. L. Smythe), when she makes so great en impression
on the terenet that he marries ter, partly from alkali .u.
and, I artly by way of thwarting the expectation;
of a scare-grace nephew. The wipe-grace nephew
aided by another villain, persecutes her, and numherines
cemplientions follow, from which she is thirdly rescued by
Joyce Bailer (Mr. J. H. Fitzpatrick), a worthy comnite
of the =Meted captain, who has turned detective in
outs r to devote his life to the discovery of the parpet rotors ,
of tl at crime. Incidentally, also, Black klilsom, who
tuns out to be only a foster-father of the heroic:, is
unearthed, the villains we brought to justice, and the
persecuted made happy. It will be seen from
this brief outline that the incidents of Stolen
ars neither very fresh nor very probable; bat the
Play belongs to a eri,s which enlists the eyinpatnee of the
hugest number of playgoers. The scenery is pretty ; awl
the acting of Miss Harlewood is natural and pleasing.
Mr. J. 11. Fitzpatrick as Joyce Harker sustained the chief 1
Lecillel.ll of the evening, and gave fresh proofs of his
talents as a melo-dr.unatic actor. The play was followed
ty a new farce by Mr. Knight Summers, entitled M.P.
11m1411.toutt, which is full of boisterous fun. The
humour, however, would not have been in any way
diminished if the honourable candidate for Puddlotow
bad appeared in a less outrageous attire. The fuu of
plaid tremors and Mats of enormous pattern is now well-
nigh exhausted,. and may, we think, bo dispensed with
without any detriment to the comic drama.

A DAP OF DEFEATS.

" 1 ivr.:nv dog must have his day." Without
disrespect to our Tory friends we are free to con-
fees that they have had two days out of ten to call
their own. Why should we pretend to deny them
the rare privilege of a real triumph, when we
have dune everything beforehand to exalt their
glory and to emphasize our defeat ? Let them
lift up their heads, we say, and crow with all their
might. They have made Tuesday, the 24th of
November, memorable in the electoral annals of
Routh-West Lancashire and of Middlesex. The
House of STANLEY, flushed with one victory at
Prestun and panting for other worlds to
conquer, has banished the leader of the Liberal
party, the chief of a parliamentary majority almost
nawieidy in number, the Plums MINISTER de-
signate, from his birthplace, from the home of
those early associations amidst which the future
lieutenant and successor of PEEL was trained to the
responsibilities of power in a free country, and
taught to gyido_ll,e &stinks ni en merge*: gild
tutS:',,ria:ng nation. If Oxford was dialionaured
by thserting a statesman whose first honours
'were achieved in her schools,• and wisone

THE BAIN.

A GREAT gladness has fallen over the land. The
rain has fallen at last, and from all parts of the
country does a cry of relief come up that the
long delayed and fervently hoped-for blessing
has arrived. The drought was becoming a
national calamity. The scorched fields, burnt
up commons, and withered shrubs told the same
piteous story of long-suffering from one end of
the kingdom to the other. The fat meadows and
smiling pastures of " Merrie England" were con-
verted into a vast Sahara, which in colour, pul-
verisation, and aridity might have been a waste
of sand. The eye of the traveller by railway
sought for some refreshing colour to rest upon,
but from Dan to Beersheba all had turned barren,
and a weary feeling of disappointment—not
querulous, but sorrowfully resigned has
been] expressed whenever the weather has
been tallied of by Englishnien during the last few
months. Londoners have suffered though not
peculiarly. The sickness of poor neighbourhoods
has been aggravated ; the chronic disorders
of the season have become dangerous and
virulent; our galley-holes and sewer-traps
have emitted such volumes of poisonous air
as to be veritable engines of destruction ; and

of time and labour, is but a poor substi-
tute for the blessed rain. Garden grass
bus resembled a carpet of Latakia tobacco, and
garden soil Egyptian clay baked more than usually
hard. But all will be improved now. Before us
lie letters from most of the counties in England,
all testifying to the general character of the down-
fall. Everywhere, as Mr. TYNBntsoN beautifully
txpresaes it in " Tithonus" :
-

The vapours weep their burthen to the ground;
And everywhere does the cry of gratitude go up
for the fulness and increase they bespeak.

from having , , and there no horse in
his stable that Mr. aompson loves better to sit
down upon, end cis along over the Pytobeler pas-
tures, when hoards are running with a bread-
high scent. The labours of the two sets of horse
judges were badly divided, as one set were slower
and had a more difficult job than the other.
Hence the one had finished when the others were
hardly half through.
The hound show was held in the park, just under
the edge of the Beilby and Orange woods, whose
foxes bad held high holiday only a few nights
before, presumably in honour of the event, and
made free with four and thirty fowls from a hen-
house. Thirteen kennels—the Cottesasore, the
Bramham Moor, the York and Ainsty, the Yar-
borough, Earl Wemyes% the Durham County, the
Badworth, Lord Fitzwilliam's the Snainton, the
Holderness, Lord Middleton's the Tile, and the
Pytcheley—were all represented, and sent their
huntemen and whip in scarlet, but none of them,
with the exception of Morgan, of the *Amhara
Moor, who was quite a study, appeared in full
dresi. Round hats, which were worn by the late
Lord Lonedale's men in the field, but are quite
out of fashion now, seemed the fashion, and Old
Orveys compromised the matter with a pair of grey
trousers (baying been injured, ae he observes, in
the round bone) and a pudding basin hat. Peter
Collisson, of the Cheshire, brought nothing, and
sat watching the proceedings in the sober black
and grey of private life,
Lord Hernes, Lord Galway, and Mr. Scratton
(a most varmint-looking master) were the judge&
Lord Kesteven—who formed, with Lord Hawke,
Admiral Duncombe, M.P., Mr. Cameron, and
others, one of the party at the Orange—won the
two principal hound prizes, Lord Yarborough
being second to him in each with hounds of re-
markable quality. Sir Charles Slin,geby took two
firsts and a second for puppies, and Lord Hawke
a second; when " old grey trowsers " was in ex-
Make, and forgot the injured member. Earl Yar-
borough took the prize both for the best stallion
bound and the brood bitch with old Nelson. an
eight-season bunter, and the fair Nell of Belvoir
Lexicon, and two seasons younger. On the whole,
it was a most successful show.

POSTING DEFAULTERS.

To post a ran as a defaulter is as ominous in
fact as sound ; and the case tried yesterday at
Guildford may be said to have ended satisfactorily
both for plaintiff and defendants. Mr. FaANcis
HARDING, a professional man, an ex-officer in the
Royal Navy, an owner of race-horses, a person of
independent means, and a member of the Junior
United Service and other West-end clubs, was
posted as a defaulter last Derby Day by Mr. VA-
LENTINE, a professional book-maker, whose proper
claims had not, as he thought, been settled. No
warning or notice had been given, and Mr.
HARDING learnt the circumstance by the
unpleasant reception, the cold-shouldering, and
looks askance he met with at his clubs.
There had been several transactions between the
sporting gentleman and the bookmakers, and the
balance due to the latter on the bets made prior
to the Derby was said to have been not more than
5/. or 6/. The effect of the posting was that Mr.
HARDING, besides losing the use of his clubs,
through " being ashamed to show his face at any
" one of them," could not run his horses at Ascot
or Goodwood, and was liable to be warned off
both courses by Lord COLVILLE or the Duke of'
EICILMOND. Smarting under a sense of aggregated
aggravation, he brought an action for libel against
Mr. VALEsrriNE and another, expressly stating,
however, that his object was not damages, but a
vindication of his character. A verdict of 40s.
was agreed to, Mr. Baron MARTIN saying " it was
" clear that the defendants were not justified in
" what they had done ; perhaps, under the circum-
" stances, there might be some excuse, but it
" was clear there was no legal justification for
" their conduct." It would be interesting if we
could tell precisely where the legal limit was over-
stepped. If " VALENTINE and another " means
the betting firm of " VALENTINE and WEIGHT,"
it is clear that their course was not dictated by
any petty spite. This firm is one of the most
widely celebrated on the turf, and it is certain
that there was some mistake in, rather than any
violation of, the principle upon which turf laws
are based.

Smith. Information was given to the Thames
Police, salt the prisoners were traced at ilhotwAll

dition had clothing packed up, and a quantity of food on
bowl. When questioned they acknowledged to having
taken the boat, and stated it was their intention to pro-
ceed to Faversham, in Kent, to visit a relative. They
were then taken into custody.

I XTRAORDINART THUNDERSTORM.

SHIELDS, TIEFI3DAT.

These seaports were visited, shortly after mia-
night, by one of the moat severe thursderstorms ever
rxperienced on this coast. The lightning and thunder
were instantaneous, and the noise was as if the
towns were being bombarded with artillery. Great
alarm prevailed hero and in the fishing vil-
lages. The lightning was remarkably vivid, and
rain and hail fell plentifully. The storm lasted
about half an hour, and then passed away to the north-
east. About two hundred herring boats were keeping
off the Northumberland coast., and their crows appear to
have been completely awed by the storm. Many of them
wrapped themselves in the sails of their boats " to keep
the fire out of their eyes." The uproar of the elements is
described by the fishermen as having been awfully grand,
end the sea, at one time, they state, looked as if it was on
fire. MI the seafaring pee e agree that they never wit-
nessed a thunderstorm on e north-east coast so sudden,
sharp, and violent. It appears to have been quite tro-
pical in its character. Happily, so far as can be ascer-
tained, no personal injury has been done.—Manchester Er-

SINGULAR SUICIDE.

Last evening an inquest was held on the body of
a furrier, named Marquis Wyner, aged 69 years, at the
Prince Albert Tavern, Howes-street, Kingsland-road.
The deceased lodged at No. 2, Shap-stroet, Kingaland-
road, and for some months past his wife, to whom he
was much attached, had been very ill, and ahe died
last week. Her death caused him great mental suffering,
which appeared to increase as the time for her funeral ap-
proached. On Monday morning, when she lay in her coffin,
he rested himself in an easy chair, and with his razor in-
flicted three deep wounds on the front of his left arm,
below the elbow joint. He then held his arm backwards
in such a way that the blood flowed freely from the
severed blood-vesaela, and nearly all the blood in his body
poured forth upon the floor. His landlady and his late
wife's MUSS found him quite dead, reclining in the
arm-chair. The razor was on the cushion of the sofa
close by.
The jury returned a verdict that " Deceased committed
suicide by severing the veins of his left arm, while in a
state of unsound mind."
