TH3 ORLD333 DILL.

The Time* thinks it may be regarded as certain
that nothing further will be added to the above bill which
can provoke discussion. Viewing it as an experiment, our
contemporary does not recommend the immediate applica-
tion of the bill to the sister kingdoms. The work done on
Saturday afternoon was, on the whole, satisfactory,
and the success of Mr. Faweett's proposal to
throw the neceesary expenses of elections on the

constituencies was a considerable compensation for
the failure of Sir F. Goldimid'e claim, providing that
votes given to a candidate convicted of bribery, by himself
or by his agents, should be thrown away, and that the
next candidate, if be had polled • third of the whole
number of electors, should take the seat. The bill is, in
fact, emphatically a good bill, and, with the exception of
Mr. Fawcett's amendment, and one or two other clauses,
which, as taxing provisions, cannot be touched by the
peers, represents the views of the government, and will,
therefore, command the anent of the house in which their
influence is supreme.

--
1 Having referred to the valuable addition which Mr.
Fawcett's chines has made to the bin, the Daily News
proceeds to comment on Mr. Disraeli's opposition to Sir
W. Hutt's proposal to introduce a clause prohibiting the
interference of peers at elections in the terms of the reso-
lution annually passed by the House of Commons. Mr.
Disraeli's argument, that a peer of the realm ought to
"vote for a member to represent his interests, to protect
his property, and to interfere in the general business of a
free country, just as any other individual," is in reality
an argument for the abolition of the House of Lords. It
L a confession, or an accusation, that a seat in that
assembly does not afford its occupant any adequate means
of representation and protection, and of participating in
the general business of the country. In other words,
according to the spirit of Mr. Disrseli's argument, the
House of Lords is an obsolete institution, discharging no
useful function in the State, and involving, on the part of
its members, disqualification and disfranchisement rather
than privilege and power. However, Sir William Hutt was
well advised in withdrawing his clause. To make that a
matter of statutory prohibition which is already forbidden
by the common law, as set forth in a declaratory resolu-
tion of the House of Commons, would be to weaken the,
earlier authority.
Two provisions, says the Star, still remain to be coa-
aidered oa the report—oar by Lord Milton, axing the ea.

A YOUNG GENTLEMAN DROWNED.
DISTREUING CABE.

The County Coroner held an inquest on
day last, at Maidenhead, on the body of A. Allardyce
Maderlen aged eight years and nine months, son of the
Rev. John Macfarlane, minister of the Congregational
Chapel in that towii, who was drowned on the previous
morning. Mr. Macfarlane, accompanied by his
three sons and another young gentlemen, went
to bathe at the Weir, at Bay Mead, on Tues-
day morning. Mr. Macfarlane, the deceased, his elder
brother, and the other youth, got in to bathe, leaving the
younger. 3 bathed
iprother on the shore. It was shallow water where
ed, and after teaching them to swim for a short
time, Mr. Macfarlane, being a very evert swimmer swam
into deeper water, and placed his head under the 'fallin
water, at the Jock Pool, as he had been accustomed
to do, and on coming back his; little b:aged about
six years, on shore, said, "Archie has div and has not
come up again.' Mr. Macfarlane immediately dived
down repeatedly into the pool, but did not succeed in find-
ing the deceased. About a quarter past two in the after-
noon Mr. Deacon dragged the body up about five or seven
yards from the bathing plank, where the deceased fell in.
No doubt Mr. Macfarlane would have saved the child had
he known the exact spot where he fell in, but as the little
boy afterwards explained, the deceased had followed after
his father on shore had fallen in on the right hand side of
the pool, front a slippery board covered with wet moos,
and not on the side where he first pointed out.—Berke

If the blinds are oomeicoally wetted by • light jet of
water when the sun is open them, it will be found that

The parties were married ital Mist which time both
were very young. They cohabited at Enfield, or
in the neighbourhood (the petitioner having an ap-

The co-respondent, who was a medical man, somewhat
advanced in years, had been in practice at Oheshunt, but
he had latterly been the medical officer of the factory. He
attended the respondent during her oonfinements,
and it was suggested that he had availed himself
of the opportunities which his professional privi-
leges gave him to seduce his patient. In 1887 the
suspicions of her husband were in some manner
aroused, and there were explanatioas on the subject. The
respondent confessed, as was al that the 00-respon-
dent had been rutty of some familiarities, but that it was

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IVLdli RUGBY.

Yesterday, at the Rugby Polioe-oourt, before
Mr. J. Atty and I. A. CampWtf, Wham Kemp, a brick-
maker, 57 years of age, was brought op ie custody,
charted with the wilful murder of his son, Theme. Kemp,

combination of misfortunes preyed heavily upon kis mind,
and he was in spur* lest hie
conduct was not st.Zl'Vd hie Minds is anew
head that he would do any injury to himself or an
one ales. On Monday night last he slept with the
• youth 17 years of re^ of whom he was very fond.
About four o clock on Tuesday morning, he losooted at
the bedroom door of an eider son, who with his =
sided in the same cottage, and told them he hod in
" poor little Tommy." The son got up, and found his
brother bleeding profusely from • fearful gash in the
throat, which had evidently been indicted by a railer lay-
ing on the table. The brother endeavoured to staunch
the bleeding by tying an apron round the
wound, when the dying boy begged him not
to do so, "as be was going to Heaven."
The brother ran for the eminence of a neigh-
bour, and just as he returned the deceased, who had 'stag-
gered out of the bedroom, fell from the top to the bottom
of the stairs, and was taken up deed. The prisoner was
given into the custody of the pansh constable, to whom
he stated that he had iet=ded going from home secretly
that morning, and he had evidently pocked up some
things for that purpose, when the thought occurred
to him that, if cut the lad's throat, be would
never have to go through the trials and sufferings he had
done. He, therefore, committed the deed, for which he
was now truly sorry. When in the custody of Superin-
tendent Wild, of Rugby, he made a similar stairament.
' During the examination before the magistrates of the wit-
nesses who deposed to these facts, the prisoner sat with
his face buried in his hands, and occasionally shed tears.
Several neighbours were called, who deposed to his having
for some time been generally depressed nsporiW and
peculiar in his manner, and some of his relatives gave
evidence to the came effect. The prisoner was committed
for trial on the charge at the Weenie& senses.

THE HILTON CONTROVERSY.

twz poem ascribed by Professor MORLEY to
Jame Mu.roie has been already made the subject
of different kinds of criticism. Some critics of
repute have decided that internal evidenoe proves
it to be the work of Krum. A peer who has
dabbled in verse, but whose critical reputation is
yet unmade, has informed the rtiaders of the
Times that MILTON might " have written in
" private," but would not have published cer-
tain lines ; that ho would not have employed
the word " plenteously ;" that, if he did write it
ho "must have been very old and ill when he corn-
" menced the poem, " and " off his head" *hen
he ended it, and that the last ten lines are "
" jumble from Bedlam." Now, we do not think
this sort of comment will settle the question at
issue. If Lord Wnwnthazt ever heard of the

SPORTING NOTES.

The Sporting Life thinks its readers will learn
without much surprise that the Marquis of Destiny has
not made a single entry in the Derby, Oaks, or St. lagar
of 1870._

Bvioaazr HANDICAP AT STANTOZD.—A carioca
use occurred in this race, Distaff, who came in second,
having been struck out to Messrs. Weatherby in London
at 1 o'clock the same afternoon. Distaff is of course
&qualified, and Mr. Payne's Emigration, who was third,
iieed second, and, by the conditions of the race, eaves
stake. It is supposed that some misunderstanding must
have occurred, as to mining the mare, between the owner
and trainer. The usual complication as to bets will arise,
but the Sporting Life is clearly of opinion that backers of
Distaff are not entitled to place bete, while backers of
Emigration, first or second, should receive.
The Bra says that in the disputed case of The $ y, for
the Hunters Purse at Worcester, on July the
stewards have decided that the objection to The py is
valid, and they award the stakes to Mr. Petheram's
Nightmare, who ran second in the race.

Sportsman says the entries for these important stakes

FATAL ACCIDENT TO • CiNTOILN WHIP.—An inquest was
held at Thorpe Acre, a few days ago, before J. Gregory
Frank, on the body of Roger Onions, d
Gillard, huntsman to the Quorn Hounds, said de-
ceased was first whipper-in to the same pack, and was
twenty-sine years old. He and deceased and the other
whipper-in, J. Goddard, were in Garendon Park with the
young hounds, showing them the deer, in order to break
them from running them. In about three hours they
turned towards the lodge, with the intention of returning
to Quern. On their way through the park deceased saw a
lame deer, and seemed anxious to show it the hounds, so
he trotted towards it. The deer ran away, and
deceased started his horse in order to turn it in front of
the hounds. He called to deceased to stop, but he ap-
pmred not to hear him, and went on, and the deer and
his horse came into collission. The deer fell, and the
horse rolled over it sideways. The deer got up and ran
away and deceased was left with his left leg under
the horse for a few seconds, when the horse
jumped up, and deceased's foot being in the
stirrup, he was dragged, but only about two yards, when
his foot was liberated. They raised him up, but he was
insensible. Mr. Wood, of Sheepshed, and afterwards Mr.
Palmer, of Loughborough, were sent for, and did what
they could for bum, but he never became conscious,and
died about six in the evening. Verdict—" Accidental
death."

The Btsreigis• Cattle Market Bill ina
rolees difficulties sad would impose on us certain Wags.
venienoes, but in the opinion of the Tigers the difficulties
are by no means insuperable, and the inainvenieness
would probably be Is. than times we at present endure.
At all events the obstinate obstruction which wee offered
to the bill yesterday was wholly unjusliffsble. The
matter is one on * deliberate dealsiou of the house
sisseld be frankly assepted, and the Mass thinks the de-
cision setually arrived at is on the whole reasonable.
Of the Corrupt Practices et Bisettons Bill, the Deily
Aire remarks that, on points which are essential to the
safety and proems of the bill, a conclusive majority is
always at the service of the government, but on questions
of lees vital moment the house does as it hies, and ILL
Disraeli accepts its decagon. Probably, however, he does
not greatly regret tie chief defeat he sustained yesterday,
vbs., that relative to the aelatium proposed to be offered to
the feelings of the judges.
Apropos of a discussion in the Commons last night, the
Port contends that if Greenwich Hospital I. to he kept up
at all, it should be as an infirmary, sad as that alone ;
for, as an asylum, it is calculated to do infinitely more
lam than good. Perhaps we may next soesion see a
reasonable and lasting scheme evolved out of the contusion
in which the matter seems to lie at present.

The Nereid is confident that the licesign Cattle Markets
Bill will be carried, and insists that the policy of the oppo-
sition, from beginning to end, is • policy to obstruct
legislatica, to prevent parliament from doing anything,
to characterise the session as " do-nothing," and to throw
upon the executive the disgrace of idleness and in-
capacity.

The illegrapA doubts if election agents will approve of
the decision arrived at yesterday in their regard.
Avowedly an experiment, should the bill succeed the
process the bill involves may be the 121011, easily perfected.
The Premier's patience bas done good service; and if a
great
dread has seised the go-betweens who are ready for
any sort of work at election times, the public have all the
better reason to be satisfied.

THE EXPRESS,

Jamaica committee. &nee Mr. Mrtz. entered the
Route of Commons he he not given a vote, or
made a speech, or taken a public etsp of any kind
whatever, which was not in harmony with the
expectations of attentive students of his writings.
In the case of a man whose words and deeds
can be thus, so to speak, pigeon-holed
or referred at once to the logic of his avowed
principles, we may say with emphasis, in the very
words just quoted, " the benefits of his ability
" are certain." It is no exaggeration to oonolude
that what may be called the regimen of political
opinion is bettered, not only in the House of
Commons itself, but all over England and all over
Europe, by the mere presenoe of a man
like Mr. MILL in the representative
assembly. To every criticism made upon his
conduct or his words, he might answer, with
Aexerorrirr, " Read my book !" Of the grossly
ignorant use to which his writings were put in at-
tacks by men who had not read them Mr. him.
showed, more than once during the session, a
slightly contemptuous appreciation. Perhaps the
most amusing instanoe was that of the member
who, after misquoting Mr. TIIINNYSON, went on to
express his admiration of " those very profound
" and learned works which the hon. member
" for Westminster bad written" on the question
of votes for women. We imagine it would puzzle
Mr. Mural, or the London Library in St. James's-
square, to supply these " works."

MOND
lbsta avoid to quite as much annoyance
as the most ardent lovers of the weed. Carriages
reeking of stale tobacco ; fellow passengers bent
on smoking and exercising no small degree of
moral terrorism over anyone daring to object ; and
a constant chaos between illness and unpopularity,
have been the experiences of the hapless non-
smokers. It is as well to insist now
that the line of demarcation between the
two sets of passengers shall be strictly observed,
and that condign punishment shall follow upon
smoking in other compartments than those as-
signed to it. In certain lines the huge smoking
carriages used appear to drive many smokers into
the other parts of the train. The smoking saloon
is too big, and holds too much tobacco-smoke at
one time for any bet the most case-hardened con-
sumer. The non-smokers suffer accordingly, and
are invaded on and enubbed as if they were an
inferior race. The is not the case where an
ordinary compartment in each carriage is set
aside for smoking. On the South-Western, for
example, where this concession has been made
during the present year, the men who smoke
never intrude upon the passengers who don't,
and both sets are satisfied. If therailway companies
are wise they will not inaugurate huge smoking
saloons such as are in use on some of the Eastern
lime, but will simply reoogniae smoking in certain
portions of their present " plant." Above all
they must insist now upon their bye-laws being
carried out. Rigorous and certain punishment
should follow their violation. Smokers have ob-
tained the reasonable privilege they asked for;
and non-smokers must be protected in their turn.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
There wan • good deal of discussion at ester-

*earful atteniptsatlegial4son was a p Mr.

te make pecuniary compensation for injuries MI-
Paned by accident, except when travellers had
effected a special insaraace. Mr. Healey strongly

belated to cause great alarm to nervous pee
an 4 said that if a man was required to pay
pence for an insurance ticket, the company ought

and their eepsrationlrom travellers who object to

inserted in the bill requiring railway companies
ender certain circumstanoes to provide smoking
emnpartmenta Mr. Leeman, Mr. Laing, and
ether gentlemen who repeesent the railway in-
teract, were anxious that this Matter should be
left to the directors of the various oompanks, and
bled to persuade the house that the advance
which had been made by rano* boards towards
the provision of adequate accommodation for
smokers afforded ample security for the future ;
but the house refused to listen to the voice of
these charmers, and the clause was earned by a
majority of 22-38 to 16. The bill was read a
third time and passed, and soon afterwards the

MR. J. STUART MILL AS POLITICIAN.

WE may perhaps doubt the accuracy of the
reporters when they make the author of the essay
" On Liberty" ask the people at St. James's Hall
whether they " intended to have a stricter govern-
" meat, with en improvement in its administra-
" tion"—at least, we may be certain that no
such suggestion or question would be allowed by
Mr. Mat to stand alone. But in a sentence or
two towards the close of his speech we un-
hesitatingly recognise the man who wrote the
" Considerations on Repreeentative Government :"
—" The men who were sent to the next Perlis-
" ment must carry something more than mere
" money bags and piniyas. Nor must their /sands
" be tied up, for the pubik repaired So be repro-
" tented by men tyke mild Sell them tan' lOW So be
done, not they Ones." This might almost be
called a brief summary of Chapter XIL of
that very moderate and carefully-expressed tee-
the. Among the eonelusiona arrived at in
Chapter XII. are these :—" That in proportion
•' to the opinion the electors entertain of the mental
" superiority of a eandidste they ought to put
" up with his expressing and acting on opinions
" different from theirs on en►y number of things nal
" included in their fhaidaniental articles of
" belief : That they ought to be unremitting
"in their search for a representative of such
" calibre as to be [flt to be 7] entrusted with full
" power of obeying the dictates of his own judg-
" meat ; that they should consider it a duty which
they owe to their fellow-countrymen to do their
" utmost towards placing mem of this quality in the
" legislature; and that it is of much greater import-
' ante to themselves to be represented by such a man
" than by one who professes agreement in a greater
" number of their opinions ; for tho benefits of his
" ability are certain, while the hypothesis
"of his being wrong and their being
." right on the points of difference is a
very doubtful one." Without a shade of
srony, we commend this to the gentlemen who,
as we understand, decline this time to support
bfiu, on account of the part he took in the

DEATH OF LORD CRANWORTIL

Almost, without a note of warning (says the
Tewersl another ex-Chancellor hos from anio
Yesterday morning Lord Craaworth died at his bus.. majwoode the former residence of Pitt, after an Aim, of no more than three dap' duration. He e,
in his plaoe in the House of Lords early 44
week when the Public Schools Bill was under &musics
It would appear, however, that the heat of the woolly;
bad left him exposed to en attack of Biasses Which
though sharp, excited no apprehension among ids trinity
But Lord Cranworth was within two years of eighty, seti
at oath an age the strength of the strongest begins to ran,
It became evident yesterday that he was sinking, esid
the course of the morning he died without pain.
Lord Cranworth was the eon of a country clergynut
who was a cousin of the great Nelson. He was from un
fist • bookish lad. He spent • few years at Bury Bt
Edmund's school, where he was the junior of the kit
Bishop Blomfield, end from Bury he went to Winchester.
From Wincheater ho went to Cambridge, w here Bickersteik
the late Lord Langdale, had just graduated ss Senior
Wrangler, Lord Chief Baron Pollock having wonthesame
distinctica two years before, and in two of the Mil
while Bolfe was an undergraduate, Alderson and 1646
were suocessively at the head of the mathematical tripes
Het became a wrangler, and that was all, and for severs,
years his career differed in no way from that of many
°then who do not survive to receive the highest hone"
of their profession. He was made a king's cotuu.
in 1832, and entered the Reformed Parliameut the sew. pr.,
as member for Penryn and Falmouth. He became Solicitor.
General just before the Whigs went cut in Deesinher
1834, and he returned to the same °thee when they
came in again in April, 1836. Pour yews later he win
raised to the bench as Baron of the Exchequer, in
which court he sat for eleven years with Park., and Alder-
son and Platt. The trial of Rush, over which hspresided,
in 1849, first brought him prominently into notice, but Kr.
Baron Rolfe's name, almbet immediatily after it be.
came widely known, was merged m the dignity
of the peerage. Sir Robert Rolfe, although aens.
mon Law Judge, had been trained in the Equity Coen.,
and to the Court of Chancery ho returned in 1850. At
first • Vice-Chancellor, with the title of Lord Cruwertk
be was within a few months made one of the newly.
constituted Court of Appeal as Lord Justice ; and who
the Aberdeen Administration came into power in h„.
' cembar, 1852, he received the Great Seal.

SMOKING 111 RAILWAY CAARLAGRS.

TRIM vexed gneetion is lamely to be put on a
props, footing at last. Henceforth, unless Deli-
berated repents of its decision on Saturday,
repine Brooking compartments will be attached
to every train in which then is more than
one carriage of each class, and whether the
peonage, bold • first, second, or third lase
ticket he will be able to smoke to his
heart's content without annoyance to others
or to himself. It is wonderful that the simple
remedy for an outrageous nuisance provided
by the clause passed by the House of Com-
mons on Saturday should not have been
insisted on before. The railway regulations
against smoking have been notoriously and ridi-
culously inoperative. The " two things not allowed
"on this line, smoking and giving money to the
" company's servants," of Lzzete s sketch appealed
to a universal experience, and as a matter of fact
smoking has been carried on with impunity on
every line in the kingdom. Now that the con-
sumers of tobacco have got their way, it
may not be amiss to point out that men who
don't smoke, and ladies who can't, have

had received an additional sum for his fuseccea,
but than what an ill-used man was Mr. M4cuss
But, be he painter, sculptor, or -.whited
who executes commission for the Mouse
of Commons, it he is praised by coo audios* he ia
certain to be censured by the ',ext.. Sir °mono'
Bowysie, who quite agrees with Mr. Oseoitus
about the statues, and who thinks it incongruous
to place in a Gothic hall, erected in the time of
RICHARD II.—or, as Mr. LOCKE says, in the time
of WILLIAM RUFUS—statues costumed in the sty le
of the reign of GEORGE 111. , has a poor opinion of
MecLima's frescoes. They are too crowded.
He " did not believe that when WsLimin-
" rot; and BLueur.a met they had to walk
" their horses over dead bodies." "They never Met
" at Waterloo at all," exclaims Mr. OssoaNs, de-
serting the artist at a pinch. But Sir GEORGE
BOWYER'S bete noir is the ladies' gallery. Every
session he vows vengeance upon that miserable
place in which ladies are cooped up behind a
grating ; but the gallant baronet never chal-
lenges a vote upon the subject. His speeches may
be amusing, but meanwhile his fair clients are
suffering.
Mr. OISHORNE having set up the statues, a general
pelting began. Mr. Mounties believed they were
originally intended for the Royal Gallery, but
that place not being adapted to receive them,
they had been " wandering about under
" the guidance of the First Commissioner of
" Works." Hon. members returning after
the recess, had been astonished to find five of
these marble statues placed upon permarent pedes-
tals, and one of CHARLES 11., with his favourite
spaniel, in " plaster," on a temporary pedestal.
Mr. LOCKE defended the statues and the site,
but in dubious terms. There were two things,
he said, in the hall to attract attention—the
statues and the applestall, and the attention of the
public was divided between them.
The bronze statue of Sir ROBIRT PEEL, just
unveiled in Palace-yard, encounters a storm of
ridicule as the tarpauling is pulled away. Mr.
LAYARD had a round of cheers last night
when he declared that no statue so dis-
creditable to the art of this country, had ever
been raised, and Mr. C. BENTINCK hastened
to assure him that he would find on to-day's
votes a motion for its removal. Alderman
feels most the inconvenience of existing arrange-
ments when summoned to the presence of the
Lords. At a moment when the hon. member for
Finsbury would stand with all his natural
advantages upon him, he is penned up, he
says, disgracefully, and the &uaint is pushed for-
ward like a prisoner at the dock. The vitality of
certain grievances is remarkable. One would
almost be excused for thinking they were kept up
for the sake of the speeches.

No ft ngliah Liberal can rem; Inc great speech

admiration and astonishment—admiration at the
consummate cleverness of the speaker ; astonish-
ment at the economical doctrines professed
at this date by one of the ablest and most
accomplished liberal statesmen of the constitu-
tional monarchy. But this astonishment would
sot be justified by an attenti.e study of M.
TEisies* public and political Met:. Although
• Liberal in the face of democratic imperialism,
a devoted adherent of parliamentary at op-
posed to personal government, of public liberties
as opposed to arbitrary administrative repression—
the historian of the Consulate anti the Empire was

of his country, it statesman of the age of Lorvots.
