In distributing the prizes at the Leamington
College on Saturday, Lord Clarendon held that there
never was a time when education was more a matter of
national importance than at present. It was essential to
the lower classes in order that they might obtain learning
more rapidly than they had hitherto done, while for the
upper classes knowledge was more than ever needed, so
that they might retain the influence of mind over mind,
which was the only power that could henceforth be safely
trusted and willingly respected.

The report of the select committee appointed to
inquire into the constitution and management of Queen
Anne's Bounty Board was published this morn-
ing. The fund administered by this board was founded
in 1704, when Queen :Arum gave up the first-fruits and
tenths derivable from the episcopal and capitular cor-
porations and parochial livings, part of the hereditary
revenues of the crown, for the purpose of augmenting the
incomes of the poorer clergy, and provision was made fi a the
distribution of the net income of the board by way of gr.uits
of capital sums. The affairs of the board have for a long
time been practically under the management of a small
number of the bishops, with the occasional assistance
of a few laymen. Out of the total income
received from first fruits and tenths, the gross averago
annual produce of the former, for three years past, has
been 4,4311. Be. Id. In respect of the first fruits and
tenths of the bishoprics, a yearly sum is

The salary of the chief officer of the board, who, Cerberus-

- - - —•
The services of the lifeboat Sheffield, belonging
to the National Lifeboat Institution, were called into re-
quisition on the morning of the 23rd instant
(reports Captain D. W. Stephens). At daylight
on that day, during • gale from the N.N
and in a heavy sea, the schooner Margaret
Cunningham, of Whitby, was observed to be driving on
the Rettlenees Beefs off the south point of Runswiek Bay.
The Sheffield was thereupon promptly launched, and pro-
ceeded to the vessel, and after some difficulty, owing
to the high sea and the current setting round
the point, succeeded in getting alongside and in
rescuing the master and one man, who were
the only persons on board the vessel. Immediately
after they were landed the schooner drove on shore and
became a total wreck—nothing whatever being saved from
her. The behaviour of the lifeboat and her crew on the
occasion was all that could be wished for. It may be
added that this valuable lifeboat was generously presented

will go through the formal third reading in the
Lords, and receive the royal assent this week. The
bill has for its object an important alteration in the
Law of bankruptcy as regards deeds of assignment. As in
bankruptcy, it will be necessary to make affidavit in proof
of debt; and secured creditors can only sign such deeds
for any unsecured balance. theater facilities are also pro-
vided for the examination in open court of bankrupts

Lord Napier of Magdala was entertained at
Woolwich on Saturday night by the corps of Royal
Artillery. Major-General Wards, the commandant of

the garrison, presided. Lord Napier, in response to the
toast of his health, spoke highly of the services of Colonel
l[ilward during the Abyssinian campaign, and, having
mentioned the names of several artillery officers to whom
his thanks were due, his lordship referred to the assist-
ance rendered by the navy. The seamen had
made light of all their difficulties, and throughout
the expedition had been cheerful and contented.
It was satisfactory to know that the British army had
left Abyssinia with a better prospect of peace and with
more hope of its advancing in civilisation than when they
entered the country. They did all they could to set a
good example, and bad found the people an interesting
race. In fact, they professed to be Christians, with a
creed which very much resembled our own. They pos-
sessed a well-established priesthood, and a strong sense of
real religion, and his lordship's opinion was that there
were as good Christians in Abyssinia as in this country.

Professor Henry Morley returns this morning
to a defence of the Miltonic authorship of the poem recently
sent by him to the nines. Its genuineness, belays, was nmin-
tained against the opinion of Mr. Bond many years ago,
and, in spite of his opinion, wss included by the late Mr.
Sotheby, who gave a special study to the subject of Mil-
ton's handwriting, among his genuine autographs. Mr. Bond
also writes to the effect that he has several times ex-
amined both writing and signature, and always with
the same conclusion, that the writing is not Milton's, and
the signature is not " J. IL"

KILLED BY A PLY.ABURI Vie.—At the Brent-
ford police-court on Saturday, William Cook, the son of
an extensive roprietor of pleasure vane at Kentish-
town, was pla ed before the bench on remand, charged
with feloniously killing and slaying one Robert
Hackett, aged 76, whilst in the lawful pursuit of his
calling. The deceased was an army pensioner and •
licensed hawker. His wife said that be left bane on

found one of the horses down and one of the leaders on

then took the driver into custody. In answer to questions
the officer stated that it was highly improver for the
prisoner to attempt to pain the other vans in such •
narrow part of the road. Several of the pasesogere
attempted to prove that it was the noise caused by the
playing of the band that made the horses restive, and
having loud all control over them they •ed tram

FATAL AOCEDENT.—On Saturday morning, be-

cross station of the Midland Railway, which proved fatal
to a labourer named Benjamin Truk, of 119, CoPea-
hagen-atieet, 'Arington. It appears that the decoded,
who is a native of Yorkshire, came up to London to work
at the Midland Railway now in course of erection near
King's-cross. He was engaged with several other men
by the Midland Railway in putting up an iron
girder, weighing 14 taus, at the King's-croes terminus.
The girder was got up to a considerable height in safety,
but before it reached the top it is supposed that the chain
broke and the handle of the windlass or the chain struck
the deceived a violent blow on the head. He was picked
up and with assistance conveyed to the St. Pancras work-
house immediately, where he was seen by the surgeon.
Three other men who were by the side of the deceased
had a narrow escape.
