LEATH OF SAMUEL LOVER.

Dux, on Monday, at a pleasant retreat in
Jersey, to which he had retired about eighteen
months since, SAMUEL LOVER, wit, poet, novelist,
musician, and artist. Mr. LOVER'S partial
and indiscriminating friends were wont to
compare him with Mentes Mooas, but no one
protested more energetically against the com-
parison than the deceased gentleman himself. He
knew perfectly well that he filled a much lower
position on the ladder of Fame, and was quite
content to be regarded as the most successful
among the numerous imitators of the great little
man. One striking difference between !doom and
Lovie was that while the former was
essentially the poet of the drawing-room,
the muse of the latter appealed more
generally to the people. Few of Moorues
Melodies were more popular in their day than
" The Four-leaved Shamrock," " The Angel's
" Whisper," " Molly Bawn," and " The Low-
" backed Car." The similarity between MooRE
and LOVER extended even to their personal
appearance. Both were small men, with
bright eyes and intensely Irish expression of
countenance ; both were in the habit of singing
their own songs, and the statement which will be
found more than once in Mooita'sbiography that the
poet's singing waa rather a recitation accompanied
by the piano than the actual delivery of a song,
applied equally to Lovza. This peculiarity,
admirable in a drawing-room, where the
limited company can group round the piano,
in a great measure prevented the success of a
public entertainment which LOVER essayed. Mr.
Lovas, who had for some time enjoyed a Govern-
ment pension of 100 i. a year, was 79 years of age.

TUE WOMB OP LORDS DEPATKII.

The Times entirely agrees with Lord Salisbury
in deprecating the recurrence of such conversations as
have now been repeated in the Hoare of Lords twice
within a week, and would earnestly exhort their lordships
that, at least as long as the Dog-star rages, they should
reflect, with Lear, when approaching certain topics, that
"that way madness lies," and abstain on the instant. If
personal questions and private differences occupy the time
which should be given to the empire, mon will question
the propriety of entrusting to such an ansembly the con-
trol of weightier tasks. And yet above all it is well to re-
member that the best way to avoid personal questions
is by the cultivation of rigid accuracy of state-
ment, and the only way to extinguish grow-
ing resentment is by a frank confession of error.
With regard to the subject of the dispute last night, it
may be said to be shown that the Lord Chancellor
talked rather at random on Monday week.

MR. ROEBUCK AND REFORM.

To get right men is usually the surest way to
get right measures. Mr. lioxeccx is not of this
opinion. Indeed he seems to prefer getting the
right measure out of the wrong man. The Re-
form Act is all the sweeter to him that it has come
from Mr. DISRAELI. A good deal might be said
on the moralit' of this choice. A purchaser who,
in the hope of making a better bargain,
chooses to deal with a ehopman who bamboozles
his master, would hardly pass for a man
of scrupulous honesty. Yet this is exactly
the course which Mr. ROEBUCK, and some others
who profess and call themselves Liberals, took in
1867. They thought they might screw a little
more out of Mr. DISRAELI by helping him to
deceive—we beg pardon, to educate —the Conser-
vatives than they would have got out of Mr.
GLADSTONE, if they had restored him to office and
given him the means of carrying a straightfor-
ward measure. In what this conduct differs from
that of the purchaser mentioned above we fail to
see. If the electors of Sheffield return Mr. Roe-
bum it must be presumed they have sharper eyes.

terians by =increase of the parliamentary grant, known

in a blue frock coat, and wore • round drab felt deer-
stalking hat. He walked with a stout stick, on which ho
was wont to lean. His Majesty looked fists, and signs
are beginning to appear that he has arrived at the grand
climacteric. The Empress wore a deep mauve
woollen dress, quietly trimmed, and a dark hat
entwined with • green creeper, the end of
which hung sieglige down the back. In walking she
bad in her left hand • white parasol lined with green, and
in the right she carried a walking-stick, which she kopt nr

which the hulks here wear—about two inches in length,
have necessitated the use of a walking-stick; but, bo
this as it may, the fact of the Empress carrying a walking.
stick has made its use fashionable. The young Prince
Imperial is to be seen every afternoon in the grounds

The Times describes Captain Moncre&f a gun pit as the
moot important artillery invention of modern times. Its
object is to render the heaviest ordnance absolutely in-
visible and unapproachable except at the actual instant of
tiring, and even then nothing is to be seen but the gun
itself, the men who work it and the whole machinery re-
maining completely protected. The invention dis-
penses with embrasures, which weaken defences, the
gun and gunners being placed below ground. The
gun rolls up above the mouth of a pit to deliver its
charge, and then sinks again. The only material defect
alleged against the new system is that it affords no protec-
tion against vertical firing; but, admitting this danger
(which, by-the-bye, is equally a weak point in the old
plan), Captain Moncreiff will Will have effected an enor-
mous advance na the present system. Atter enumerating
various advantages of the invention, the Times says there
is no doubt that it must be adopted ; and the sooner and
the more completely this is done the better.
In the opinion of the Etas the invention is one which,
while it proves Captain Moncreifa skill as a mechanician,
seems destined to have as much effect upon the mode of
fighting artillery as breech-loading has had upon the
evolutions and requirements of infantry. Above all, it
seems to put a period to the foolish outlay of money upon
fortifications.

The Daily News intimates that • protocol has boon
signed on behalf of the English and American govern-
ments, containing the basis of • final settlement of till
question of naturalisation. The agreement come to be-
tween the respictive ministers of state has yet t 3 b 3
muuicated to, and adopted by. the two legislatures and

found to allay the suseeptibihties of Americans without
in uny way betraying the privileges of Englishmen.

PRESIDENT OF THE POOR-LAW BOARD,

This day, at 2 o'clock, took place the election of
a representative for the city of London to fill the vacancy
caused by the acceptance of office by Mr. Gooch's,
in the new government, presided over by Mr. Gladstone.
As there was no opposition, and the proceedings conse-
quently were of a merely formal character, there was
comparatively little interest felt amongst the few specie.
tors that assembled in front of the hustings in Guildhall.
Mr. Goodies, on being recognised, was received with
loud cheers.
The writ having been read,

Baron laowr.s. DI ROTILICILII.D. amid renewed cheers,
proposed the re-election of the Right Hon. G. J.
Goseben.

Mr. TROXPSON HANLE; IL P., seconded the nomina-
tion of Mr. Ooschen.

There being no other candidate propose 1,
Mr. Alderman Garrott then declared the Right Hon.
G. J. Gosc.hen to be duly elected • representative for the
City of London.
Mr. Goecam, amid general cheering, returned thanks
for the honour just conferred on him, and declared that
as • minister of the crown all his exertions should
be directed to the enactment of measures tending to in-
crease the comforts and happiness of the people, and to
the maintenance of the honour and dignity of the country.
One thing was certain, that the programme of policy of
the Premier would be precisely the same as that of Mr.
Gladstone the late leader of the opposition, and that
the liberal policy which he had proclaimed would be
carried out to the letter. (Cheers.)
The proceedings then terminated with a resolution of
thanks to the Sheriffs.

THE TERRIBLE DISASTER OY THE OHIO

itiViii:

UPWARDS OF SEVENTY LIVES LOST.

CINOLINATI, Duo 6.

On Friday night, at about half-past 11 o'clock,
the steamer United States, descending the river, and the
steamer, America, ascending, tame in collision at Rae's
Landing, about two miles above Warsaw, on the Indiana
side. The America struck the United States on the right-
hand side, forward of the steps, tatting into her • coon _
derable distance, and causing her to sink to bee main deck
in two or three minutes. The United States had some
petroleum on her deck, towltich lire in some way was corn-
mould-aged, and almost as anon as the steamers came in
collision, they were in amass. T. muse ad taa di altar
is mud to bare been a confusion of signals. The whistle
of the America was twice blown, but the pilot of the
United States apparently did not hear it, and the America
again signalled by two blasts of her whistle ; this time the
United States answered, but it was too late.

Mr. Ole Bull, the celebrated violinist, who was a pas-
senger on the America, represents the scene which followed
as fearful in the extreme. He believes that at least 70
lives were lost. Twenty ladies were burned or drowned.
Two newly-married couples were saved, and it is said that
one such party is missing. All of Ole Bull's party were
saved, but the baggage of the whole company was lost.
It is believed that one only of the passengers on board
the America is lost, and this fact is largely attributed to
the cookie, and courage of her °Moen. The pilot stood
at his post until the pilot-house was burning around him,
and he was obliged to leave to avoid suffocation.
The destructicn of these line and costly steamers, re-
sulting in such a terrible loss of life, and fears for the fate
of those who are missing, hays cast a gloom over the en-
tire community.
Among the victims were the Bev. Robert J. Perrin and
the Rev. Mr. Rising. The Rev. Mr. Perrin was one of
the most widely known clergymen of the Episcopal
Church, owing to his prominent position u Secretary of
the Evangelical Educational Society, and his connection
with other departments of the missionary work of his
church. The Rev. Franklin 8. Rising was the Secretary
of the American Church Missionary Society.
