To apply this argument,Lord DERBY pointed out
that the middle ages had left us two sets of buildings
esssentially typical and characteristic of the time that
produced them—the feudal castles, and the cathedrals.
We have few specimens of either at the present day,
but their worth must not be decried if not for their in-
trinsic merit, at least for their associations and attri-
butes. They are types of an age which is past, and
which can no more be revived than the Roman Em-
pire can be restored. In conformity with the utilitarian
spirit of the present day, it has been the fashion to
sneer at those who reverence the past and urge the
preservation of the records of its grandeur. These
cavillers may learn a wholesome lesson from one who
if he is the descendant of an old historic
house, is also one of the most practical men of his
day. Lord DERBY admits that we do not live in
fe tidal castles, and that our worship is carried on in
buildings which bear slight resemblance to the
ancient cathedrals, but that is the more reason
why we should preserve what we have,
and guard from destruction what cannot
be recreated, " the more reason why, as in-
heritors of the past, we should feel that we are
trustees for the future." This is the right spirit in
which to regard the question of the resto-
ration of an ancient cathedral; it is the
common property of the country, and neither
the man of progress, nor the man of refine-

THE ABYSSINIAN MEDAL.

It is with much satisfactio] that one learns that
the Queen has signified her will that the officers and
men of the Royal navy and marines employed during
the operations in Abyssinia, including every sailor
who was conveyed even into the Red Sea, with a
view to ultimate active service, shall have medals
awarded to them. It only now remains to be desired
that a like award will be meted out to the gallant
tars who were so willing to risk their lives in the
New Zealand troubles. After a long sea voyage out
to a trying climate, and an anxious period of watching,
in which they did not know the moment their assis-
tance might be required against the Maori rebels, one
would say that common justice alone demands that
the sailors and marines of the war-vessels sent to
New Zealand should have a small badge of honour.

REPEAL IN IRELAND.

The agitation in favour of a "national senate " in
Ireland, which, absurd ai it may seem to English
ears, is gaining much support in the northern and
midland counties, is not being countenanced in any
serious manner in the South. A. Cork paper con-
demns the revival of a cry which all sensible men
must see to be hopeless. It contends that a demand
for absolute separation would be more logical
than one for a subordinate parliament, but
even agitation for this must result only in trouble
and failure. It therefore advises all prudent men to

LAW REFORM.

An Ex-Judge writes to the Times on the much-
vexed question of Law Reform. The Whitsuntide
recess, he says, affords us an opportunity of taking
stock as to our prospects during the present session.
The survey is on the whole satisfactory, since public
opinion has declared in favour of the chief part of
Lord Hatherley's measures, and he need not fear the
opposition of the Law Lords, if he stand firmly to
his guns. His scheme for the fusion of law and
equity in one great court, and eventually° in
every court of justice in England, is quite safe if he
appeals to the statesmanship on both sides of the
House to support him against the lawyers. The ex-
judge, however, does not think that all will be done
when the fusion of laiv and equity is completed. The
most crying want of the day, in his estimation, is a
good Supreme Court of Appeal for the whole empire,
which should swallow up the jurisdiction of every
other appeal court from the House of Lords
downwards. It is too much to expect
any Lord Chancellor to propose such a suicidal
measure to his peers, and this reform must therefore
originate with the Commons. In conclusion the
writer gives a hint which should be acted upon in
these days when unnecessary delays are held to be
so great a grievance. No one has the power of
compelling the attendance of judges at the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council. The most effi-
cient of the judges have their duties elsewhere, and
their sittings are few and far between. At the pre-
sent moment no fewer than 200 appeals are lodged
for hearing from India alone, a fact which- of
itself should stimulate the exertions of our Law
Reformers.

ENGLISH AUTHORS

The old age of those two veterans of English literature,
Disraeli and Carlyle, presents respectively a rather notable
contrast—one of them bringing out a novel of very high
life, in his well-known old style, while the other sits among
" the silences," like Marius among the ruins of Carthage,
and gives up the world as a bad concern, and little better
than the thing Coleridge called it—" the devil in a straight
waistcoat." Then the facial portrait of the two men are
so different—as we see them in the magazines of the day
—that of Disraeli looking out from among the " crow's
feet " with a confident air of " work," and Carlyle's in
its vacant gaze of weary disgust, telling the experience of
a life-time spent in combating the " shams " and fallacies
of general opinion. The biography of his life seems to be
given in the " careless desolation of Carlyle's look. The
cable telegram announcing the illness of the author of
" Lothair," will awaken here sympathy as genuine as in
England. No greater tribute could be paid to the cosmo-
politan nature of the fame of Disraeli.—N. Y. Times.

A MUSCULAR DISCOVERY.
There will be great excitement created in pugilistic cir-
cles by the information that " an English anatomist " has
discovered "a new muscle in the human body," and this
feeling will, perhaps, be shared by pedestrians, boat-
racers, and athletes f every variety. We have been ex-
pecting something of this kind. We knew that we could
not go on for ever in the career of physical development
without adding a new muscle or tendon, and here we have
the first. We now await particulars. Is this one of the
muscles upon which a man may travel ? Will it be useful
in hitting out or in stepping out? Is is one which Messrs.
Tweed and Sweeny will find useful upon election day?
Or is it one of your little, mean, contemptible muscles,
hidden away somewhere in the neck, and of no particular '
value to anybody.—New York Tribune.

EXTRADITION BILL.

The Attorney-General's bill on the extradition of
criminals makes provision that the Act shall be
applied to any foreign State by order in council,
where an arrangement has been made regard-
ing the surrender of any fugitive criminals. A
fugitive criminal is not to be surrendered Who is only
convicted of a political offence, and the requisition
for the surrender must be made by some person
recognised by the Secretary of State as a
representative of the Foreign State. Cases
under this Act are to be heard by a police
magistrate, and the magistrate is to commit
if the evidence is such as would justify a committal in
an English court, but the prisoner will not be sur-
rendered for fifteen days in order that opportunity
may be given to apply for a writ of Habeas corpus.
Among the list of extradition crimes are murder
and conspiracy to murder, manslaughter,
forgery, counterfeiting and altering, and also utter-
ing; embezzlement and larceny; obtaining money
or goods by false pretences ; crimes by bankrupts
against bankruptcy law; fraud by a bailee, banker,
agent, factor, trustee, or director or member or
public officer of any company, made criminal by any
statute ; rape, abduction, child-stealing, burglary
and housebreaking, arson, and robbery with vio-
lence.

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BATH AND

WEST OF ENGLAND ASSOCIATION,

Sir Stafford Northcote presided yesterday at the an-
nual meeting of the Bath and West of England As-
sociation, and was warmly welcomed back from
Canada. The report stated that the funded property
of the Society amounted to £5,500 ; the number of
members was 1,097. The Council recommended that the
next meeting of the society be held at Guildford, and that
Earl Cork be president. These propositions were put to
the meeting and carried unanimously. Various formal
votes of thanks were passed, and brought the proceedings
to a conclusion.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING AT STROUD.
This evening a public meeting was held in the Strouc,
Subscription Rooms, to consider the Government Educa-
tion Bill. Mr. Mailing, M.P., presided. The resolutions
passed were to the effect that schools supported with pub-
lic money should be open to children of all religious creeds
on terms of perfect equality without desiring to in-
terfere with the continued receipt of public grants by
existing denominational schools, subject to an efficient
conscience clause. That the meeting protested against the
establishment of denominational schools out of public
grants as a violation of religious equality ; and that no
grant of public money should be made to any school which
did not permit the absolute withdrawal of a child during
the time of religious education. The meeting heartily ap-
proved, by resolution, of the course taken by Mr. Winter-
botham, and pledged itself to support him. The chair-
man opposed secular education. Mr. Winterbotham,
M.P., argued at length against denominational education.

BOARDING OUT PAUPER CHILDREN.

There are undoubtedly two sides to every question,
and it is accordingly not surprising to find the scheme
of boarding out workhouse children, unsparingly
denounced by Mr. George Bartley. This gentleman
brings forward many arguments against the plan. It
would not be, says he, so economical as is supposed,
neither would the children be so kindly cared for, as
the foster-parents would merely take them in as
a matter of profit. The Contract price,
being reduced to the lowest possible rate
by energetic guardians, would only allow
them to do this by stinting and starving the children,
while, when they grew old enough to work, the
latter would find their position became still more un-
comfortable from the competition with their foster
parents • and brethren. Again, the diseased 1
state of the pauper children would be
likely to create an epidemic in the over-
crowded houses of the agricultural poor,
and the children must therefore remain some time
on the parish before they could be thus disposed of,
while at best only aportion of the children—those with-
out parents—could be thus provided for. All these
arguments, however, fail to. touch one practical
point—the miserably unsatisfactory condition of our
pauper children at present. Those who know any-
thing of the inner history of workhouses are well
aware that a very large percentage of the workhouse-
reared children hopelessly fail in life, in spite of the
excellent sanitary arrangements, good education, and
every other advantage boasted of. It may also be
doubted whether if these little workhouse waifs and
strays were questioned direct, they might not prove
to us that their present existence was not so very
enjoyable that they should shrink haul exchanging
it for something like a natural home life, however
poor.

THE SALISBURY ESTATES.

We have of late become accustomed to seeing the
names of our oldest nobility figuring in the law lists,
but the special case which has brought the
Salisbury estates under the consideration of
the Court of Exchequer is happily in no way
connected with money lenders or sporting disasters.
The point at issue was the amount of succession duty
which Lord Eustace Cecil was liable to pay upon a
sum of £20,000, of which he came into possession
on the death of his father, the late Marquis
of Salisbury. Certain estates were, under the
marriage settlement of the late Marquis settled upon
him for life, with remainder to his sons in tail. The late
Marquis and his eldest son, the late Lord Cranborne,
in 1855 executed a disentailing deed, and two years
later they joined in a deed . to raise a su m
of £20,000 for the defendant, Lord Eustace Cecil,
the third son, in'case he survived his father. In
1860 another deed removed the condition of his sur-
viving his father. 'ln 1866 Lord Cranborne died,
and the present Lord Salisbury, the second son,
became tenant entail of the property. In 1868 the
Marquis died, and the defendant became entitled
to his £20,000. The Crown claimed succession duty
at the rate of 3 per cent. on the ground that the true
settler of the charge was the tenant in tail, the defen-
dant's brother, who was to be treated as the prede-
cessor within the meaning of the Act. The defendant
claimed to pay only at the rate of 1 per cent. on the
ground that his father, not his brother, was the true
predecessor. However, the Court gave judgment for
the Crown, and the full amount must therefore be
paid.

RAILWAY GRIEVANCES.

The management of the London, Brighton, .and
South Coast Railway is calling forth very serious
complaints from season ticket holders and others who
must of necessity make use of the line. A train, it
is said, is rarely if ever started to its time, and never
arrives at its destination when due. Indeed, instances
are known when trains conveying business men reach
the West End a full half-half hour beyond
the time guaranteed in the company's tables. The
situation of travellers on days when festivities
are going on at the Palace, or when a Derby race is
to he run, is extremely deplorable. On these occa-
sions the season ticket holders are not apparently
once thought of, and all the inconvenience to
them is caused for the sake of a few
pleasure-seekers, who, however, pay for their ac-
commodation. On June Ist the company, it is said,
took off forty trains from the line without previous
notice, and regular passengers had to get to their
business and home again at night as best
they could either by the trains, after
waiting several hours, or by other conveyances.
Under the circumstances it is scarcely to be wondered
at that shares once worth £l3O are now worth only

ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT THE
ALHAMBRA.

Upon making inquiries at noon yesterday it was clearly
ascertained that the whole of the unfortunate young ladies
who met with injuries the previous night during the grand
ballet entitled " Fleurs du Jardin," at the Alhambra.
Palace in Leicester-square, were progressing under the
unremitting attention of Mr.. S. S. Noakes, the house
surgeon at Charing-cross Hospital, most favour-
ably. No fatal case had taken place, as had
been rumoured, and it is satisfactory to state
that tLere is not the least apprehensions entertained by
the medical staff of the hospital that any of the young
persons have sustained mortal mounds- The worst case
of the whole is that of Miss Kate Graham who, besides
having sustained a fractured arm, is severely bruised about
the legs and lower part of the body. Miss Anne Sands,
whose ribs were broken, have had the fractures reduced,
and is going on as well as can be expected. Miss Fanny
Abrahams, who was also taken to the same hospital, has
been found not to be so severely injured as was at first
considered. The other sufferers, from careful inquiries,
are all going on well. From an investigation made the
occurrence arose entirely through the cellermen having
neglected to put up the regulating iron rods under the
stage.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.

By an Order in Council, published in Tuesday night's
Gazette, it is provided that the principle of open competi-
tion shall on and after the 31st of August next, be ap-
plied to all Civil Service appointments, except such as
are included in the following schedule annexed to the
order :-1. All situations to which the holder is ap-
pointed directly by the Crown. 2. All situations included
in any Order or Warrant made by the CoMmissioners of the
Treasury under section 4 of the Superannuation Act, 1859.
3. -All situations which are filled, in the customary cour6e
of promotion, by persons previously serving in the same
department. It is, however, provided that in cases where
the chief of a department and the Lords of the Treasury
may be of opinion that for the sake of special knowledge
or other reasons of public interest examination should be
wholly or partially dispensed with, the Civil Service
Commissioners may dispense with examination, wholly or
partially, and may grant their certificate of qualification
upon evidence satisfactory to them that the person to be
appointed possesses the requisite knowledge and ability,
and is duly Cause
in respect of age, health, and ckt-
racter. By Clause 3it is provided that, with the excep-
tions mentioned above, no appointment shall be made
unless the person to be appointed shall be reported by.
the Commissioners to have satisfied them that he pos-
sesses the requisite ability to enter on the discharge of his
official duties. Clause 6 contains the following provi-
sions : After the candidate, reported as aforesaid by the
Commissioners, has been appointed to an office or employ-
ment, he shall enter on a period of probation, during which
his conduct and capacity in the transaction of business shall
be subjected to such tests as may be determined by the
chief of the department to which he is attached, and he
shall not remain in the public service after six months
from the date of his appointment, unless satisfactory
proofs of his fitness shall have been furnished to the chief
of such department, and a certificate of his qualification
shall have been issued by the Civil Service Commis-
sioners.

FITS HIM TO A T.

Professor Goldwin Smith will have it that the
Social Parasite, described by Mr. Disraeli in
his " Lothair," means himself. The Professor is
evidently a man of nice discernment. In order to
enable our readers to recognize the accuracy of the
delineation first perceived by the gentleman who
maintains that he and no other sat for the portraiture.
we subjoin one of the passages referred to by Mr.
Goldwin Smith in his insolent letter to the author ( f
" Lothair," as occurring in that book and as so
Itumistakeably personal to himself, Mr. Smith :

" The Oxford ProfEssor, who was the guest of the
American colonel, was quite a young man, of advaiicid
opinions on all subjects, religious, social and political.
He was clever, extremely well-informed--so far as
books can make a man knowing—but unable to ITO-
fit even by his limited experience of life from a rt st-
less vanity and overflowing conceit, which prevented
him from ever observing or thinking of anything
but himself. He was gifted with a great command
of words, which took the form of endless opposition,
varied by sarcasm and passages of ornate jargon. He
was the last person one wouldhave expected t o recognise
in an Oxford Professor; but we live in times of transi-
tion. Like sedentary men of extreme opinions, he was a
social parasite, and, instead of indulging in his usual

EDUCATION IN IRELAND.

An Irish Catholic Layman has written to the
Daily News in reference to mixed education in Ire- ,
land. He says that the plan of mixed and secular
education has already been tried in the Queen's Col-
lege and proved a failure. There is only a " frac- '
tional representation" of the majority of the Irish
people in these endowed "mixed education" colleges.
The cause is not indifference to learning or poverty,
but the fact that the Irish people are of one mind
with their clergy, and disregard any system of instruc-
tion in which religion has no prominent place.
The recent declaration to Mr. Gladstone on the sub-
ject of education from the Catholic laity, was signed
by nine hundred influential persons of different
classes, and affords a sufficient proof that they are
totally opposed to mixed education. In conclusion,
he declares that the question is one which the Irish
Catholic people can very well settle for themselves.
If the majority of them require secular education for
their children, accompanied by religious education,
they ought to be allowed to have it, and a reservation
might be made, in order that the minority might
please themselves; but a very small college would
hold them.

CANADA OPPRESSED DY " EXPEDI TIONS."

A correspondent at Quebec sends us some interest-
ing remarks on the present condition of the Dominion
of Canada. As might be expected,the two expeditions
—if the Fenian raid deserve the dignity of such nomen-
clature have somewhat seriously checked the
prosperity of our American colony. Twice
within the short space of a month the militia
and volunteers have been called out to meet the
Fenian raid ; and the increased taxation that must
necessarily follow will press, heavily in the present
state of trade. The Red River expedition too
has been delayed by the occurrence of the Fenian
movement ; and the probable expenditure is on
that account increased by some thousands of dollars.
To add to the misfortunes of the Dominion, Quebec
has again suffered from a recurrence of the vast fires
that have rendered, its name notorious for
wooden buildings and bad local management.
"At the same time (our correspondent adds) it may
be observed that the feeling elicited by these
occurrences is highly creditable, Personal interest
is, in nearly every instance, willingly sacrificed to
the welfare of the Government."

A LONG Jos.—This is "Irom the Bombay Gazette :—" At
Lahore the Maharajah of Cashmere presented the Duke
of Edinburgh with a shawl for the Queen, the like of
which, according to our Lahore contemporary, was never
made. Three hundred shawl-weavers had worked on it
incessantly for three years, and many of them lost their
sight through the fineness of the work ! Its actual cost in
Cashmere is estimated at 25,000 harrisingha, the harris-
ingha being equivalent in value to 10 annas." No wonder
the poor fellows went blind when employed in so harris-
ingha labour I
ENGLAND EXPECTS.—A furious correspondent sends us
this clipping from a contemporary :—" England is being
now washed away by denudation. It is only a matter of
time when the sea will once more roll over it, and bury its
cities, its lives, its loves, its treasures, its beauties, its ages
of organic creations in the depths of the ocean, there to
remain till some future changes of the earth's surface: raise
it once more to the wonder of beings who may then be
existing on this ever-changing planet.—Herdma's Specula-
tive Cosmology." Our friend asks us by what right this
foreign craft runs us down. He adds—" Herd-ma, in-
deed ! Tell, your grandma !"

THE ACCIDENT ON THE ➢IONTE SALVATOItE.

The Monte Salvatore, on which Mr. E: Royds has
just lost his life is so high and treacherous an ascent
that three hours and a-half is looked upon as the
average time required for getting to its top. It would
appear from later particulars which have reached
England that the party, Mr. Royds, his sister, and his
cousin (another lady) mistook the usual path for be-
ginning the ascent, and they had reached a track
ending in a rugged furrow, 200 feet from the level
of the main road, before the error was discovered. The
party, instead of retracing their steps, persevered/
thinking that they must hit the regular mule-path a
little way above. Darkness, however, came on rather
suddenly, and a slight d isaster wlich happened to Mr.
Royds' sister in the brushwood, from which she had
to be extricated, first made the young man aware of
the critical position they were in. Instead of remain"
ing where they were till. dawn, the tourists now
began to descend, and it was when doing tbis
that Mr. Royds suddenly placed his foot on an inse-
cure piece of rock, and toppled over three successive
tiers of rocks before his body touched the ground.
The calamity cannot be attributed to foolhardiness or
rashness, as Mr. Royds, followed by his lady coin'
panions, was taking each step down the mountain
slope with a steady watchfulness. It must be said/
however, that the party did not expect that thei
would meet with any extraordinary mountain difl
culties, and as the deceased young man was of power'
ful and athletic build, the party were all confident of
accomplishing all they wished in perfect safety. if
anything tended to render Mr. Royds hurried 01
anxious it was the thought that the friends
of the .ladies would be in alarm about
them at Lugano. When the melancholy event Fig;
pened the two ladies, though terribly shockectl
happily preserved their courage, and, with a sagacity
often remarkable in women when in real danger;
they attempted to go back on the way they lit'
come. After wandering under the moonlight fg,
some time, they reached the path from the main road
which they had at first wrongly and unfortunately
taken.

LOST DOGS.

Two years ago a London dog that lost its master also
lost its life. Hundreds of innocent dogs were slaughtered
by the stern command of the Chief Commissioner of Police
—the bodies were used as manure, and vast crops of pro-
duce are supposed to have been obtained by thus sprinkling
the earth with the remains of fidelity and intelligence. It
always appeared to be a somewhat ruthless proceeding,
and we are not sorry to hear that a more sensible and
humane system is to be adopted by direction of Colonel
Henderson. Stray dogs are in future, whether muzzled
or unmuzzled, to be taken into custody by the
police, and conveyed to the police-station. The
inspector on duty is to take a description of the dog, and
to circulate it throughout the force. The dog is then
to be sent at once to the " Home for Lost and Starving
Dogs "at Holloway. If the dog wears a collar with an
address upon it the owner is to be communicated with,
and the animal will be entertained at the station for three
days, when, if not claimed, it will be sent to the Home.
As we are about to treat stray dogs with a certain amount
of kindliness and consideration the least they
can do is to meet us half way and behave with
that unobtrusive gentleness which as a rule they observe
and which has made them the most popular of beasts. The
best course a lost dog can adopt is, without one angry
bark or bite, to go straight to the nearest police-station,
wag his tail, and whine at the inspector, who, although
he cannot replace his natural master, will, we are sure,
do all that a tender constable can do to assuage the
affliction of the bereaved animal.—Pall Mall Gazette.

BLUEFISH IN BARNEGAT BAY

MANNAHAND RIVER, May 22, 10
The only news of importance or interest at this point 14,
that of the great invasion of this bay, between Barnegat
and Little Egg Harbour Inlet, by vast numbers of blue;
fish and mossbuukers. They came in at Barnegat inle
last week, sweeping through the bay, over flats as well 35
through the channel, driving millions of bushels of bunicers
before them, and filling our coves, creeks, ditches, an
ponds in the meadows full. They continued on their con%
down the bay as far as Little Egg Harbour Inlet•
that place they drove shad on shore so that peoplegathere.
them up by wagon loads. The bluefish were very 13rgeefs
weighing seven pounds and over. Thousands of "bush
of bunkers have been gathered in the past week along ed.ur
shore, and the people are applying them to their 1,0 i„..
Such a sight has never been known by the oldest ii-P;s
tant. They lay in creeks, ponds, &c., along our menu°„"h
two feet deep, so you can take a common fork and 13.",
them into your boat or throw them on the bank. In el;
places they lay in winrows on the meadows where t ;
tide has taken them, so they may take large wood he
alongside and load them. If we had a railroad here,:
instead of applying those large bluefish to our lauds,W;
would send them on to market. People are mar
money here selling what they can at twenty cents Pe

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills and Ointment
—Palpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath.—These
distressing affections frequently arise from indigestion or
a relaxed state of the nervous system, and may be
thoroughly overcome by a course of these corrective
pills. When the throbbing of the heart and feeling of
suffocation on making any slight exertion harass the
patient, Holloway's Ointment should be well rubbed,
twice a day, over the pit of the stomach and 'right side.
It will soon bring out a rash, and on its appearance all
anxiety and every unfavourable symptom will be miti-
galed. The use of the medicine should not be discon-
tinued until the patient has been for some time free from
palpitation and other attendant inconveniences.
