LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 14.

THE END OF THE SEASON.

ON the eve of the festival of the most ca-
pricious of Saints, it is permissible to say that the
Beason is virtually over. We say " virtually,"
after the manner of the PRISM MINISTER, who,
when be tells the House of Commons that a Bill
is virtually passed, makes a mental reservation
of his independent auxiliaries in the Upper
Chamber. The two Opera Houses are announc-
ing their last nights, the multitudinous
concert-givers, who, if each were an AMPHION,
would suffice to build a city bigger than any
ancient or modern Babylon, are dropping one
after the other into silence. The HANDEL Fee-
tival is past and gone ; the Duke of EDINBURGH
hat oome home, and gone down to his ship
again ; Mr. LONGFELLOW has sought shelter in
the Isle of Wight ; and, though there are
Abyssinian lions enough in town to supply half
the country houses in England, they are gradu-
ally subsiding into the retirement and repose they
have so well earned, after appeasing the curiosity
of society and the public. Parliament is visibly
languishing and exhausted. The salons are closing
one by one, and all the painful arta and
artifices by which the rich, the idle, the easy,
and the important classes seek to kill time and to
exorcise ennui in the great roundabout of Vanity
Fair, are worn to death and threadbare. Matrons
stood by flu

AMAZONS WANTED.

WE have heard lately of the prowess and the
doughty deeds of a band of Amazons in Paraguay,
and now we hear of an attempt to estab-
lish what in the sham-military parlance
of the day may be called an Amazonian " move-
" ment," much nearer home. The Paris journal,
the Epoque, gravely asserts than Madame ITALIA
GARIBALDI, wife of MRrtorri GARIBALDI, is about
to raise a regiment of Amazons, who are to be
clad in the celebrated IitRATOM cuirass, which
is both ball and bayonet-proof. The Epoque says
further that two—we suppose we may call them
sergeants—of the regiment, left Paris for Dover
on Friday evening, with the declared intention of
recruiting " parmi les miss et lee ladies de la veille
" Angleterre." This is very Battering, but why do
they come to us ? Is it that the opinion, more
candid than courteous, expressed by the late Mr.
NATHANIEL HAwrnolla of our women has been
spread abroad ? Do the recruiting sergeants of
the Amazons expect to find our land tilled with--

"daughters of the plough, stronger than men,
Huge women, blowsed with health and wind and rain,
And labour—"
like the female guard of Mr. TENN. ?SON'S "Prin-
cess F" We are not very much concerned at this
news, for in the first place, we do not believe it,
and in the second, if it were true we have far too
high an opinion of the common sense of our
Englishwomen to imagine that they would be for
one moment beguiled by such ridiculous vagaries.

TERI= AND BROADSIDES.

The Daily New. points out that Mr. fiecly's motion last
night had a far wider purpose than that to which it was
limited by most of the speakers, and concurs with Mr.
Childers in regretting that the Admiralty did not so in-
terpret his motion am not to press it to a division but
rather to accept the principle of the suggestion that the
constructive department should be assisted by some sort
of consultative body of practical and scientific, authorities,
whose assistance should not absolve the board from any
past of its responsibility, but whose names and influence
would inspire parliament and the public with con-
fidence.

The Trkyreph has no doubt that there is some ground
for the misgivings which were expressed last night; but,
while the Admiralty is open to attack on the ground that
adherence to the broadside system has been too exclusive,
we are bound to remember that many able men are
without faith in the boasted monitors. They plead that
the problem of a sea-going cruising turret-ship has yet to
be solved; and the plea is not to be dismissed with a
flourish about tb e crossing of the Atlantic by an American
monitor

aaLLWAY Wan.

The Times approves the resolution of Lord Taunton,
which declares that no railway bill which proposes to in-
crease the rates now payable on the conveyance of goods
or paasengers shall be read a second time until a special
report of the Board of Trade shall have been laid on the
table of the house. It will thus be in the power of par-
liament to permit an increase of rates in those cases where
it appears that the tragic cannot be safely and decently
conducted at the existing rates, and where, therefore, it is
for the benefit of the public that the rates should be
raised.

in ouch demand, the friends of Lucifer did nut altogether desert
him, 20 to 1 being booked to small amounts. Some few out-

THE OFTWERS Of P,InTENUE AND THEIS votes.

Approving the decision in tho House of Lords
last night on the above question, the Time. observes that
the disabilities of the revenue officers were imposed when
the civil service was wholly different from what it is now.
Revenue officers were first disabled from the exercise of
the franchise in 1782, when government boroughs were a
mainstay of the constitution, when civil servants were
appointed and promoted from party interest, and when
they were even removed from similar causes. All these
things have been changed. The members of the civil
service now enter it after a competitive examination, and
ever since the time of Lord Liverpool the promotion of
civil servants has been in the hands of the permanent
heeds of departments. The dismissal of a member of the
service from political motives is a thing so improbable
as to be almost inconceivable.

The Daily News soon in the whole proceedings another
instance of cabinet contradiction. Mr. Hunt had pledged
himself only a few days before to views precisely opprpiite
to those expressed by the Lord Chancellor. Nobody
anticipated that government would put forward one of
their number in the House of Lords to pull to pieces the
speech that another of their umber had delivered in his
official capacity in the House of Commons. The result of
this astonithing feat of political prestidigitation, so far as
the measure under consideration is immediately con.
cerned, is one over which we may fairly rejoice. Mr.
Monk's scheme has now escaped the shoals and breakers,
and runs in smooth water.

The Post says that the bill only half does the work after
all. It repeals the prohibition from voting at elec-
tions, but it leaves the prohibition from " interfering "
where it was. Now, it is evident that it would be
most indecent for public officers to become active po-
litical partisans, or to take a great part in election-
eering battles, but the regulation of their conduct in this
respect is a matter, not for legislation and penal laws,
but for departmental rules.

POLITICS AND THE LAW.

A RUMOUR was current yesterday in the Law
Courts that tho dignity of the coif has been con-
ferred on Mr. &moil, the well-known barrister,
who will consequently henceforth take rank
among that honourable body the Queen's serjeanta-
at-law. Mr. Bmow has for a long time been a

member of the home circuit, and is one of the
counsel much sought after at the Old Bailey Courts.
It is a question, however, whether his talents
might not have failed to recommend him for pro-
motion in the eyes of the present Government had
not his political principles been strictly Conservative.
Conservative at least they were when Mr. &nos
last publicly announced them on the occasion of

ADVICE! TO OONIMII7=rUIS.:

The Daily News urges that bolero th:i day of election
comes the number of liberal candidates ought, in every
cafe where a con,ervatire candidate is standing, to be re.
dure4l to the number of It !di. To neglect this precaution
is to increase indefinitely the chance of a conservative vic-
tory ; and anyone, whether elector or candidate, who sets
this simple rule at deflanoe is, we far as his ability extends,
doing harm to the liberal cause. It is fur the new men,
who are on'y known by their profemions, to take the first
step, and express their willingness to abide by a
preliminary decision of the electors, which our
ccntemporary thinks can easily be obtained in

. -
all but tho largest constituencies. When (moo
a coneusion baa been honestly arrived al • can-
didate can have no excuse for dismgartling it; and any
one who persists in doing so ought to be eschewed as
rigidly by every liberal elector as though he were u
professed conservative. Where seats heretofore held by
liberals of mark and standing are claimed both by their
old oecuyants and by new men, a different rule ought to
prevail. Hero the duty of taking the initiative rests
with the electors; and there ought not to be any hesita-
tion how that duty should be discharged. The, advice
which Mr. Bright gave to his correspondent at North-
ampton is the advice the Daily Noses tenders to every
elector who finds himself in a similar situation.

MB. HULLAH AMONG THE WELSH.

Me. Joni( Hur.LAtt has undertaken to instruct
the Saxon mind in the mysteries of the Eisteddfod,
and to urge all that he can in favour of its perpe-
tuation. It fell to Mr. HULLAWB lot to be chosen
as judge or umpire in certain vocal and instru-
meat al contests which formed part of the programme
of the festival recently held at Ituthin, and he
seems to have been thoroughly impressed with the
novelty of the performance, and of his own posi-
tion there. Although he writes with all the
authority, and, perhaps, with • little of
the bias, of a prominent actor in the
scene, Mr. BULL= does not quite suc-
ceed in disguising a feeling of good-humoured
contempt for the proceedings.

The pr. linunariee were of the approved antique

THE EDUCATION REHM! OF TRW

The government is believed, soya the Times, to have
accepted in the roadie of eduestioe, the two pdaelples el
a compuleory rata where without a rate nothing eon be
done, and grants in aid by the role of payment by results.
So long as any parish or town fa evidently educating all
the children that are to be educated no change is to be
made. If, however, a town or a parish wishes to rate
itself for the purpose, or If, what really emus to the some
thing, there ere in that town or that parish numbers of
&Hann growing up without education by default of volun-
tary efforts, then it is, the MRS believe', to be proposed
that a sufficient rate shall be levied. Wherever the work
has to be done by a rate it is to be supplemented by a
payment acconfing to revolts, which it will become the
interest of the ratepayers to keep as high as possible.
The Dade, Pews urges that, bevies a measure embody-
tag she principle of a toed mee—as an ultimate resouroe—
and the present vehintau system there is ao intermediate
resting place ; and that any attempt to expand the present
system by relaxing the oreditions apes which
grants to wheels are obtained would manly
aggravate existing evils, without reaching the districts
which receive little or no assistance from the Treasury.
The principle of rating asst be insisted on at all
baserds. The only roman* open to the government, if
they were to reed, would be to lower the stands/4 of
diaieney to Numb a degree that almost any school will be
admitted to a share in the parliamentary grant.

WOOL AND WORSTED. —Bitanrenn. lan.
The tone of the wool market this morning is again more
cheerful, and the excitement in the Liverpool cotton
market tends slightly to harden the prices of choice sorts
of wool. There is, however, no appreciable increase in the
demand since the public sales of last week. lu worsted
yarns some spinners report more inquiry in low 30's and
l6's two-fold, but the amount of business doing is not
satisfactory and prices have not improved. In pieces', the
market is still quiet, and, although perhaps a shade more
business may have been done in some quarters, merchants
are not tempted by the advancing tendency of the cotter
market to speculate in goods. Some producers are trying
to raise their quotations, while others are willing sellers
at last week's rates.

A NOVEL J.A.X;K-OUT.—A dispute between the
motor and part of the congregation of New Windsor
Independent Chapel, Salford, which has been going on
for some months, attracted public attention yesterday,
I when some extraordinary scenes were witnessed in the
neighbourhood of the chapel and school. The pastor, the
Rev. T. G. Lee, called aspecialumeting onWedue.day last,
and announced that he had been advised to close the Sun-
day school until the superintendent and many of the
teachers who persisted in manifesting a spirit of opposi-
tion towards him had been removed. lie stated that he
should act upon this advice on Sunday. On that day the
deacons, the superintendent of the school, the teachers.
and • number of the children assembled at 9 o'clock in
front of the school, and found that the doors were fast-
ened, and that they were not to be allowed to enter. The
rain was falling heavily, but an address was given and two
hymns ware sung, the chorus of one being :
Well stand the storm,
It won't last long,
We'll anchor by and by.

REPORTED AITA'A ON A NARTRLLO TOWEL

It haabevit reported to the authorities at Waterford
that late on Friday night an attack on the Martello Tower
at Duncennon, Passagc West, war made by a party of
thirteen men. It is stated that as soon as the artil-
lery who now mew the tower turned out, the attacking
party inysteriondy die ippeared, leaving no trace. Another
report states that the " attacking party" consisted of one
man, who made off when challenged by the sentry. The
affair, however. we. con,idered so important as to canoe
the telegraph office here to remain open all night, and it is
understood the wires were frequently used by the military
authorities. On Saturday the resident magistrate, Mr.
Could, proceeded to Dancannon to make inquiries into the
occurrence, which ins caaz:d a variety of reports to be put

DISTRESS IN EASTERS PRUSSIA.

A letter from Dantxic says :—" The most horrible
distress prevails in the towns and rand districts of this
country, and if the state does not come to the aid of the
populations, who are suffering from hunger, the greatest
I calamities are to be feared. At Conite. Btu:kens, and
Boehm the want is also terrible. Several manufacturers
have increased the wages of their workmen and given em-
ployment to se many of the poor as they can occupy. But
private charity is quite huralisient. Worlothope are being
opened everywhere for women and children, who are fed
and sheltered gratis. Every possible means of relieving
the distress is being adopted."
The Cologne Omen* mentions that the number of
families in Eastern Prussia which require relief is 3,500,
spread over 35 districts. Of this number of territorial
divisions, 15 demand aid for six months, and 20 for half
that period. The sanitary oommiesion of one of those
communes has published a letter denying asesrtions made
by the sonni-oliciel press to the effect that the distress
' was much exaggerated. " The misery," adds that wen-
t manieation, "is indescribable ; men, women, and chil-
i dna are huddled together completely destitute, In the
' forest, on litters of straw. Many are attacked with
; typhus fever, and the greater part are dying of hunger.'

The Akhbar of Algiers says :—" In consequence
of the &handset rain which has Wady fallen in Algeria,
sensation around the capital has made =manse programa
Beds and flowers are bursting forth with incredible rapi-
dity ; at bfastaphsgiunriour the greater port of the fruit

The revision for this borough was resumed yeA-

Mr. Perron represented the oonmrvative inbred gene-

for the liberal interest generally, whilst Masai. Spanner

house, but left the barrister to guess where the house was.
The claim was struck out.
William Lewis, bootataker, claimed for a shop and
three rooms unfurnished at 11s. per week, at 13,1Kanc-
'sob-load.
. . .

7he Barrister sad he was afraid the claimant had put
himself out of court by stating the lie. The shop was no
qualification, send he could not presume that the rooms,
indeyendently of the !hop, were worth 4s. a week. The
probability was that the shop was worth the greater part
of the money ; indeed, from what the pariah authonties
raid, be did not think the rooms could tie worth 4%. •

tion was always on the subject 'of PRANCIS.
It was Mr. PAILICIAVS fixed idea, when out
of politics. Upon it he bestowed much time,
labour, and expense. M. DR RKUUSAT, how-
ever, rather complains that Mr. PAIDEIDI
spoke to him much more frequently of the
result of his toll than of its certainty. " Ile
" promised,•' he says, " to produce the decisive
" proofs, but ho never showed them to me. He
" merely indicated to rote the meaning of them in
" a somewhat contused way, and referred me to
" the work which he was going to finish, but
" which, he added, be never would titdsh." In
subsequent visite to England M. DI RINI/SAT had
further conversations with Mr. PARKIS, and on

all occasions he found that gentleman absorbed in
his labours, but likewise as indefinite as ever
in his promises, and M. DR RBSIIISAT adds,
" Perhaps the reason was he was more capable of
" studying than of producing. From this time
" forward, I could imagine, that his curious,
" shrewd, and laborious mind preferred investiga-
" Lion to eomposition, and that amused by the
" pleasure of prosecuting his investigation into
