AGRICULTURAL TOPICS IN NORTH DlVON.—The
North Devon agriculturists have this week been holding
their annual exhibition of cattle. Mr. Arland. M P., at-
tended the dinner, and delivered a speech on agricultural'
topics. He said he bad served three years on the schools
commission, and be agreed with some of the ablest and
most practical men in England t farmers must I
begin the education of their chi! * in. life in order
England
to make it effectual. They co peekto make up
by six or twelve months' teach the best school ever
founded in England for the de4chincies of early education.
With respect to several mattea‘agecting the agricultural
interest, he had written to Eartiltertesoue suggesting the
establishment of some central 'aithiirity connected with
government for the special consideration of the farmers'i
tontines, which in the various government office. had I
hitherto been nobody's business. The burdens en Lai
with respect to rates demanded Immediate attention, but
he advised them not to be too sanguine in their expeeta,-
tions as to what they could throw off the land as • whole ,
end place upon the moneyed interests of the count/y.l
They must show the remedy for the present unfair state
of taxation. The great diffitoilty was in increasing the
national taxation without giving up local control. There
was much business to be done for the farmers, requiring ;
the most enlightened administration and legislation that'
the collective opinions of England could furnish.

institution this year has contributed to the rescue of 361
lives from various wrecks on our shores, in addition to
having saved eight vessels from destruction. Payments
amounting to 1.600!. were likewise ordered to be made on
various lifeboat eetablishments. The committee expressed
I their deep abhorrence and indignation at the attempt re-
cently made in a distant colony on the life of his Royal
Highness Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and an
earnest hope that his royal highness would soon be re-
stored to perfect health. A benevolent lady bad given
the institution the cost of the Lowestoft lifeboat, through
Miss Prince and Mn. Pilgrim, of Brixton. The employee
of Messrs. S. Northcote and Co., of St. Paul's-churchyard,
having given an entertainment in aid of the lifeboat fund,
Mr. It. Frankland had on their behalf forwarded the

builder of the institution during the past sixteen years.
The Duke of Northumberland presented an additional
contribution of 1001. to the institution. The prooesdiso
then terminated.

Tai REPORTZD MAIitRIAOZ Or MDLLE. PATTI.—
Let us console the rising generation by bidding It read
with unbleached cheek the notification of Male. Patti's
marriage, published "by authority" in the Figaro. The
banns have never been posted up at any maids of Paris,
and even a " marquis, duke, and a' that" cannot dis-
pense with this formality. Not only is Mdlle. Patti not
married. but the belle ctlibataire announced to her friends t
before her departure that she had no immediate intention
of marrying. We have thus overcome our repugnance to
obtrude into private affairs in a question of great public
moment—one almost as interesting as the still more im-
portant one of short or long dresses, which has lit up
the realms of fashion into Guano and Ghibellines, Bianchi
and Neri, Montages' and Capulets.—GaZignani.
Arreencrrit OF LOLL MONTIZ. —ln his last letter
to the Motioned Gazette, Colonel T. W. Knox, of New
York, relates the following anecdote about Lola Monies:
—" The death, a few weeks ago, of the old ex-Klng of
Bavaria, the friend and protector of Lola Monter, has
caused a revival of gossip about that noted and notorious
woman. You may remember that she died here seven or
eight years ago, in a condition bordering on desti-
tution. The physician who cared for her in her last
illness never received pay for his earvioss, and the
owner of the little garret where she died had a
hill for several weeks' rent that he could not ool-
lect. The headstone that marks her grave in Greenwood
was paid for by one of Lola's acquaintances, and bears the
simple inecription. ' Eliza Gilbert,' with her age, which I
do nos exactly remember. During her illness a lawyer of
this city waited upon her physician, and told him that
Lola owned certain real estate in Bavaria, pre-
sented to her by the King, and whisk she was at
full liberty to sell, while if she neglected to sell
it the property would revert to tke goverment
at her death. They offered two hundred thousand
dollars for • the title deeds, cc rather for her signature to
certain papers they bad prepared. The or, sufferlag
woman took the papers and offered to consider the matter.
