MISS CONSTANCE KENT.—The case of Constance
Emilie Kent, who was lying under sentence of
death for the murder of her brother, Francis Saville Kent,
at Road House, five years ago, was yesterday taken into
the consideration of Sir George Grey, the Secretary of
State for the Homo Department. After deliberating upon
all the circumstances of the crime and of the coxfession,
the Home Secretary decided upon recommending to the
Queen that the convict's sentence should be commuted into
one of penal servitude for life. Her Majesty has been gra-
ciously pleased to act upon the recommendation, and Con-
stance Kent will therefore not be executed.

INDIGNATION.—" Corporal punishment in the
aristocratic schools 2" said Lord Bright. "Don't tell me
that the democratic schools are not just as brutal. There's
the Manchester School. I myself had the severest licking
there I ever had in my life, and my young brother, Jacob,
whom I sent there this half, with orders that he was not
to be touched, has not only been soundly beaten, but
expelled into the bargain. By Barclay's Apology,
—well, we shall see." And his lordship went away, medi-
tating a Public Schools. Reform
