POSTAGE.

Lord HENRY Scow asked the Postmaster-General
whether he had made any representation to the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty with regard to the privi-
lege hitherto accorded to the officers of her Majesty's
navy while serving on foreign stations, which enabled
them both to receive letters from and to send letters to
their relatives and friends at a reduced rate of postage,
which privilege had lately been withdrawn.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON replied that there had
not been any communication between the Admiralty and
the Post-Office Department.
THE CAB REGULATIONS.

Mr. MONTAGUE GUEST asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to make any alteration in the
existing Cab Regulations.
Mr. BRUCE said that it was not the immediate inten-
tion of the Government to alter the present cab regula-
tions.

Lodgers' Goods.

Much serious inconvenience, and oftentimes cruel
wrong, have been inflicted on under-lessees, under-
tenants, and lodgers, in consequence of the operation
:of the Act which enabled a landlord to distrain
on their goods for the debts of the immediate
tenant. It is trite that there -was a .413dy, remedy in,
1 the shape of an interpleader action, but in the
majority of instances there were expenses
11 and inconveniences attached to this " saving
process that rendered it worse than nugatory. By
the bill now before Parliament, an under-
tenant, if threatened with distress, may make
a declaration that the immediate tenant has no right
in the property distrained. kfter this any levy
against the goods in question will be illegal, and the
distrainer will not only be held guilty of a misde-
meanour, but liable to an action at law for damages.

Installation of the Masonic G.M.

The assemblage of the craft to witness the instal-
lation of Earl de Grey and Ripon as Grand
Master of English Freemasons was in point of
numbers and brilliancy without precedent. Indeed, no
similar event to that of the present installation has
taken place in this country for twenty-six years, the
position for that period having been filled by the Earl
of Zetland, who now retires. To give the fullest eclat
to the occasion, Brother the Prince of Wales was
present, and some idea may be gathered of the bril-
liant character of the ceremony from the fact
that 1,200 of the highest officers of the craft
assisted. Earl de Grey having been in-
vested by the Earl of Zetland with the insignia of
office, and conducted to the throne, Sir Albert
Woods, Garter, then proclaimed him by his names,
and he was saluted by the brethren. The Grand
Master having invested the Earl of Zetland as P.G.M.
appointed the Right Worshipful Brother the Right
Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon Deputy Grand Master
amid loud cheers, expressing on his behalf his regret
that it was impossible for him to be
present in consequence of his having to
receive the body of his murdered cousin.

The Late Dean of Rochester.
The death of Dr. Dale, recently appointed Dean
of Rochester, will be heard of with sincere regret by
those who have listened to his ministrations, while
canonof St. Paul's Cathedral, and by many others who
never saw him, but who were nevertheless acquainted
with the genius and amiable character of the man.
Dr. Dale was for many years vicar respectively of
St. Bride's, Fleet-street, and of the parish of St.
Pancrai. He subsequently accepted a less laborious
sphere of duty, at the rectory of Therfield, Herts, from
whence he was transferred three months since to the
deanery of Rochester. The deceased, who was the
son of a literary man once editor of a popular
periodical, will be well remembered as the
author of several volumes of poems, among
which the " Widow of Nain," and " The
Outlaw of Taurus," were perhaps the most
remarkable compositions. Volumes of sermons and
many other religious works written by Dr. Dale have
also been published. It is a melancholy fact that the
late Dean had only been installed in his new office a
few days before he died.

GLOBE THEATRE.

Last evening Mr. Hermann Vezin made his first
appearance at this theatre as James Harebell, in the
celebrated drama of "The Man o' Airlie." On the
first representation of this character at the Princess's
Theatre we had highly to compliment Mr. Vezin, and
on the present occasion we can only repeat the opinion
we then gave —viz., that his embodiment of the part
was one of the most finished specimens of dramatic
art ever seen on the metropolitan stage. He was
excellently supported by Mr. Parselle as Lord Steel-
man, Mr. C. Harcourt as Sir Gerald Hope, Mr.
Sinclair as Saunders, and Miss Hudspeth as Mary.
At the fall of the curtain Mr. Vezin received quite
an ovation, and from the great favour with which the
piece was received a long and successful run may be
confidently anticipated.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT NORTH WOOLWICH.
Yesterday morning a fearful accident happened at the
Beckton Gas Works, Barking, whereby five men lost
their lives, and two others were seriously injured. A man
named Daniel Phillips was engaged in measuring the depth
of water in a well pumped by a powerful engine to keep
the works clear, when he was seen to fall from the first
stage, at a depth of about 40 feet, into the water
below, a depth still further of about 25 feet. An
immediate rush was made to his rescue by other
men, all of whom unfortunately shared the same fate,
from the effects of choke damp. At length the cause
of the accident began to be understood, and no
more men were allowed to go down by the ladder.
Dr. Vance, of Plaistow ; Mr. Vance, of North Wool-
wich ; and Dr. Bridges were speedily on the spot, but
every effort to restore animation proved fruitless. It is
stated that the pump had been worked five months with-
out any sign of foul air, and when the first man fell it
was supposed he had only missed his footing. The names
of those dead are—John Phillips, 36 ; John Brooks, 27 ;
John Wayling, 29 ; Daniel Field, 28 ; Richard Williams,
25. John Spring, of Bull-street, Barking, and W. C.
M'Clean, of North Woolwioh, survive, but are almost
despaired of.

The Right Hon. G. J. Uoschen yesterday received
a deputation at the Poor-law Board, from the Brokers'
Association, on the subject of the bill now before Parlia-
ment for the abolition of the supervision of the Court of
Aldermen over the brokers of the City of London.

ROYAL COLONIAL INSTITITTE.—A. general meeting
of the members and friends of this institute was held last
night in the theatre of the Institute of Civil Engineers,
Great George street, Westminster, under the presidency
of the Marquis of Normanby, one of the members of the
council. After the customary business, Dr. Mann read
an interesting paper upon " The Physical and Economical
Aspects of Natal," ' which was listened to with great at-
tention, and very fully discussed by various speakers
afterwards. The essayist received a vote of thanks at its
conclusion.

The Persian Mission.

The correspondence respecting the transfer of the
Persian mission to the Foreign Office in 1858-59-60
has been laid before Parliament. The Per-
sian mission has, it appears, been subjected
to sundry transformations. in the year
1836 it was placed under the superintendence
of the Foreign Office, as it was supposed the British
representative would have more weight at the Court
of Teheran if he spoke in the name of the Queen,
rather than in that of the East India Company
merely. In 1858, when the Government of India was
transferred directly to the Crown, it was thought
there was no longer the same motive for a separate
establishment, and accordingly we find Lord Malmes-
bury writing to Lord Stanley proposing that the
India Office should again take direction of the Persian
mission. Lord Stanley assenting t 3 this, the transfer
Was made ' • but the year following, Lord J. Russell
writes to Sir Charles Wood, giving reasons for the
re-transfer of the Persian mission to the control of
the Foreign Office. It is easier, he says, for the
Foreign Secretary to procure from his colleague
at the India-Office any information which he may
require about Affghanistan, the only point of contact
between Persia and India, than for the Indian
Minister to learn all the transactions which
have taken place at Teheran with the various
foreign representatives there. Further on comes some
correspondence with Sir H. Rawlinson, who, on find-
ing that he was to act under the directions of the
Foreign Office, with which he was unacquainted,
instead of under the department he had always
served, and finding, too, that there was to be a change
with respect to present giving, &c., at Teheran,
resigned his post. •

The Murders in Greece.

Admiral Hobart Pasha, in a letter to the Times,
says it is exceedingly . probable that had
an English instead of a Greek gunboat pre-
sented herself on the coast near the brigands, the
lives of the murdered men would have been
saved. Ever shin England helped to make the Greeks
a nation she has, he says, in common with
other powers, always kept some vessels of war on
the coast of Greece. It is more necessary, he sub-
mits, to do so now that, the " grand idea " having
proved a fiasco, so many patriots are cast adrift on
their own resources. The sight of •a foreign
flag creates a - wholesome fear ; . and the
flag of the nation which has so frightfully
suffered being shown all along the sea coast, would,
at all events, shew that the recent outrage is not for-
gotten, and that the murderers are being sought.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

Parliamentary Tenant Right.

Sir John Gray's proposal for permitting landlords
to grant fixity of tenure to occupiers, and thus escape
the provisions of the Land Bill, came to a miserable
end. The memorial in favour of this scheme was
signed by thirty-five Irish members of Parliament,
but only thirty-one, including tellers, voted in its
favour, and these were not all Irish. Mr. Morrison,
Sir C. W. Dilke, Mr. Fawcett, Mr. Talbot, Mr.
W. M. Torrens, and Sir David Wedderburn, all voted
with Sir. John Gray, and none of them represent
Irish constituencies. As a sign of the remarkably
diminished interest felt by the House of Commons
in the Land Bill, it may be noted that the discussion
on this amendment—the most important that has
been moved—was carried on in a house so thin as to
merit counting out on several occasions.
The Irish and the Bill.

The Irish papers are regarding the Land
Bill with increased satisfaction. The Even-
ing Post, speaking for a very influential por-
tion of the, Liberal party declares that
no great principle of the measure has been tampered
with during the progress of the bill through com-
mittee, and that should its provisions remain sub-
stantially unaltered by the House of Lords, the Impe-
rial Legislature will have effected a vast and salutary
change in the Irish Land Laws, which cannot fail to
be followed by great advantages to the conntry. At
a meeting of the National Association Alderman
M'Swiney spoke to the same effect. An Ulster tenant-
right paper also pronounces favourably.
Peasant Proprietorship.
➢lr. Howard, M.P. for Bedford, supplements his
speech in the House of Commons on the Irish Land
Bill with a letter in the Daily Telegraph.
He says that, when interrupted by a 'number of
hungry members who wanted to hasten the division,
in order to get awayto dinner, he was proceeding to
shew that between the State lending money for
improvements, and lending it for the purchase of
land, h broad and important distinction was to be
drawn. With regard ,to the policy of creating
a peasant proprietary, he admits that the raising
of some of the peasants on the continent from a condition
of serfdom to actual proprietorship of the soil, has
been attended with great advantages to the persons
so raised. He believes, however, that no
greater mistake could be committed than
to assume that peasant proprietorship would
be advantageous to other countries s.where the'
condition of things is so essentially different. For
instance, he asks, can any country in the world

The Murders in Greece.

Admiral Hobart Pasha, in a letter to the Tinier,
says it is exceedingly probable that had
an English instead of a Greek gunboat pre-
sented herself on the coast near the brigands, the
lives of the murdered men would have been
saved. Ever since England helped to make the Greeks
a nation she has, he says, in common with
other powers, always kept some vessels of war on
the coast of Greece. It is more necessary, he sub-
mits, to do so now that, the " grand idea" having
proved aficaco, so many patriots are cast adrift on
their own resources. The sight of a foreign
flag creates a wholesome -fear ; and the
flag of the nation which has so frightfully
suffered being shewn all along the sea coast, would,
at all events, shew that the recent outrage is not for-
gotten, and that the murderers are being sought.

A Channel Passage to France.

Designs for removing many of the difficulties and
much of the delay experienced in the short'
voyage between England and France have. been
before . the public for many years, and. the
extreme necessity
,for a more expeditious and more
comfortable mode of transit has been generally con-
ceded. No scheme, however, . seeins to have been
taken up with such avidity, and pushed
so far in the Y way • of adoption, as that
of Mr. Fowler, upon which a committee of the
House of -Commons has now reportedso favourably.
Mr. Fowler proposes that harbours of a large
size should be constructed at Dover and at Andre-
celles, near Boulogne, that immense steam vessels be
used in the voyage from one port to another, and
that trains of twelve carriages proceeding
from London to Paris, and vice versa,
should be enabled by means of hydraulic lifts.
to run off the lines on to the decks of the vessels,
so that in the through journey a passenger never
need leave his seat. Mr. Fowler considers
that the steamers, being so large and well
balanced, will go smoothly over the roughest
sea, and •he calculates that the expense of
the whole undertaking to England will only amount
to £320,000. On Thursday the Committee of the
House of Commons decided that the preamble of the
bill for the adoption of Mr. Fowler's undertaking
was proved, subject to the introduction of provisions
reserving the powers of the Boards of Admiralty and
Works. It has been, however, decided that the
Operation of the Act must be withheld until the
Emperor gives his assent to the enterprise, and that
no steps shall be taken to commence the works
until the whole of the capital required by the com-
pany who have charge of the scheme, is subscribed,
and half of it paid up.

LAW ANT) POLIO%

COMMITTAL OF AN ALLEGED RECEIVER.- -George
tosh, a general dealer, was finall examined, charged with
feloniously receiving a large quantity of jewellery of all
kinds, valuable diamond rings and Watches, as well as
some valuable meerschaum cigariaolders and pipes, which
formed part of the proceeds of an extensive burglary at
the shop of Mr. Grunebaum, cigar importer, 14, Edg-
ware road. The prisoner was committed for trial, bail
being refused, and Mr. Arnold declined to make an
order for the restoration of any part/of the property not
identified.
_ .
THE PUBLIC AND THE POLICE.—At the Stratford
Police-court, Mrs. Wilson, the prosecutrix in a case'
recently brought against a policeman, named Moriarty,
made an application to the magistrate, Mr. King. She
said that she had been -•persietently and continually
annoyed by Mena of the policeman, and that serious
wounds had been inflicted-upon her by his partisans. The
magistrate at once granted summonses against the assail-
ants of the applicant.
SHARES IN OVEREND AND GURNEY.—A case arising
from the sale of ten shares in Overend and Gurney has
been brought the Exchequer Chamber. The plaintiff,
Mr. Max.t.ed, bought, through his brokers, ten shares in
Overend, Gurney, and Co., the defendant, Mr.
Paine, giving on the same day the name of Goss as
the ultimate buyer. It was afterwards discovered that
Sir Samuel Spry was the undisclosed principal, Goss
being a man of no means. Calls were made on the shares,
and the plaintiff was compelled to pay, and could not
recoyer fromGoss,so he brought his action against defendant.
It was ilea in the Exchequer that Goss was an ultimate
purchaser wiihin the Meaning of the term on the Stock
Exchange, and that in the absence of fraud the defendant
could not be made liable. Judgment was 'giVen for him.
Error was then brought. The Court took time to con-
sider.

Spme modifications of the curriculum of study
laid dowii by the Colltge of Surgeons were effected by the
council of that' bei:ly at its last meeting. The principal
points touched by the neW rigulations are the introduc-
tion of the examination of aotual -patients by the candi-
dates for the membership, and a modification of the sys-
tematic teaching of surgery, by which the second course
of theoretical lectures now demanded will be supply,-
mented by a more practical one, including the applica=
tion of apparatus, the performance of operations on the
dead body, and the study of the relations of external
anatomy to surgical diseases and injuries. The first
regulation will be in force from March, 1871, and
fthe latter dues will apply to students entering next
October.

DEATH FROM FIRE.

Yesterday evening Miss Caroline Wills, daughter of
Mr. J. Wills, of Ealing, died from the effects of
burns received in saving the life of a little girl
while at a wedding party. Miss Wills attended
a wedding at Putney on the Ist of April, and
while the festivities were going on a little girl went too
near to the fire, and her clothes ignited. Miss Wills suc-
ceeded in extinguishing the flames, but in so doing her own
dress caught fire, and she was so severely burnt that
her life was despaired of. Medical assistance being ren-
dered she, however, so far revived as to be able to bear
the jdurney borne, surviving her injuries until yesterday.

still continues. Further evictions were made yesterday.
A strong body of policemen were on the ground, but they
have not been interfered with in their work. Nearly sixty
families have now been ejected from their cottages. Beth

ANTICIPATED VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF
WALES TO READING.
It is stated, on what is said to be good authority, that
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will visit
Reading in six weeks time for the purpose 'of
laying the foundation stone of the new Grammar
School iu that town. Great preparations are being
made by the Corporation for his reception. The
Prince of Wales will also he invited to witness the
rapid firing of the Soper breech-loader gun, invented by
Mr. Soper, of Reading, and which throws shot upon the
' target at the rate of sixty in one minute. The town will
' be illuminated, and triumphal arches erected. Ladies
and gentlemen will be invited to present purses of money
to his Royal Highness as contributions to the school fund.
Nearly ten thousand pounds has been already contributed.
Sir Francis Goldsmid, Bart., MP., and Mr. George Pal-
mer, proprietor of the Reading bisouit factory), have each
given five hundred pounds to the funds. The Queen has
been memorialised to become patroness of the school, but
her Majesty has declined, for the simple reason that it is
unusual for her to do so with an institution not already

'in existence. No doubt her I'vraj:e,s_t>,7ill..
,acquiesce when
the building is raised.

The Persian Mission.

The correspondence respecting the transfer of the
Persian mission to the Foreign Office in 1858-59-60
has been laid before Parliament. The Per-
sian mission has, it appears, been subjected
to sundry transformations. In the yer
1836 it was placed under the superintendence
of the Foreign Office, as it was supposed the British
representative would have more weight at the Court
of Teheran if he spoke in the name of the Queen,
rather than in that of the East India Company
merely. In 1858, when the Government of India was
transferred directly to the Crown, it was thought
there was no longer the same motive for a separate
establishment, and accordingly we find Lord Malmes-
bury writing to Lord Stanley proposing that the
India Office should again take direction of the Persian
mission. Lord Stanley assenting tJ this, the transfer
was made ; but the year following, Lord J. Russell
writes to Sir Charles Wood, giving reasons for the
re-transfer of the Persian mission to the control of
the Foreign Office. It is easier, he says, for the
Foreign Secretary to procure from his colleague
at the India-Office any information which he may
require about Afghanistan, the only point of contact
between Persia and India, than for the Indian
Minister to learn all the transactions which
have taken place at Teheran with the various
foreign representatives there. Further on comes some
correspondence with Sir H. Rawlinson, who, on find-
ing that he was to act under the directions of the
Foreign Office, with which he was unacquainted,
instead of under the department he had always
served, and finding, too, that there was to be a change
with respect to present giving, .Btc., at Teheran,
resigned his post.

OUTRAGE WITH VITRIOL.

At the South Shields Police-court, yesterday, a man
named John Wilson was committed for trial at the
ensuing assizes for throwing vitriol on a woman.

THE OUTRAGE AT OXFORD.

It is stated with some degree of authority that the per-
petrators of the late outrage at Christ Church, Oxford,
have given up their names and agreed to meet the Dean.

The woman Jane Cameron, charged with dangerously
wounding William Webster, was brought up again at the
South Shields Police-court yesterday. Webster, in his
deposition in Newcastle infirmary, said he alone was to
blame. The prisoner attacking him in fun, Cameron was
discharged, the magistrates declaring there was not suffi-
cient evidence to justify her committal for trial.
