TWO PERSONS DROWNED AT WELLINGTON.

Two men, named respectively Charles Davies, and
Thomas Bladen, were drowned on Sunday evening, while
skating on a pool at Dothill, Wellington, Salop. A great
number of people were on the pool at the time amusing
themselves, when the two men, who had been skating on
the deepest and most dangerous part, were, unfortunately,
observed struggling in the water, the ice having given way
under them. Great efforts were made to save the unfor-
tunate men, but we regret to say they were of no avail. The
bodies were shortly recovered and conveyed in a cart to
their late homes, followed by a great crowd.

ARMY REDUCTIONS AND EXTENSIONS.

The Pall Mall Gazette calls attention to some
recent army appointments, and comments on the sub-
ject to the effect that the public will not have much
cause to. congratulate itself on a decrease of military
expenditure, if the reductions that are going on are not
absolute and unqualified reductions. A. great increase
has just been made in the 'Army Control Department, to
which branch of the service forty-six appointments
have been made. It is true that these forty-six
officers belonged to the service before, and were
merely shifted from one branch to another, but at the
same time it is noticeable that they profit by the
exchange in the way of a large increase in their pay
and alowances. These amounted hitherto to
about £28,600 a year. In their new appoint-
ments an addition of about £6,000 a year
will be allowed. The retiring allowances
also of this number of officers will be
upwards of £4,000 a year greater than formerly. If
an increase of emoluments in one department be made
to accompany the reductions taking place in another,
it is difficult to see how the public will be benefited
by reduced expenditure. • •

TELEI COT7NTEBB OF DERWENTWATER."

The Pall Mall Gazette points out that whether
the claims of the lady calling herself the Countess
of erwentwater be weak or strong, the family itself
met with very hard treatment in the last century.
In 1788 a bill was brought into the House of
Commons for granting to the Earl of Newburgh,
"grandson of he late Charles Radcliffe," a clear
Tent-charge of £2,500 out of the estates for-
feited by the Earl of Derwentwater and settled
upoA Greenwich Hospital. The hardship of Lord
Newburgh's case, whose father was an infant at the
time that his family were engaged in the rebellion
of 1715, had often induced Parliament, from time to
time, to grant certain sums of money for his relief.
When the act was passed for restoring the forfeited
estates no provision was made for the Derwentwater
family, and though one or two propositions for that
purpose were put forth, they came to nothing. Neither
he estates nor any fragment of them was restored.
At the same time, as the Pall Mall Gazette does not
forget to point out, this wronq of more than a
century old is no excuse for taking the Admiralty's
cows.

lIODGE.

At a county meeting of the Dorsetshire agricul-
turists on Saturday, Professor Buckman gave
a lengthy address on the state of the agricul-
tural labourer. His argument lay chiefly in denying
or modifying the assertions in Mr. Stanhope's report.
He did not believe that the average earnings
of the labourers were nine shillings a week. He
doubted whether the cottages were worse than in
other parts of the country ; generally speaking they
were considerably better—" they were snug and
cosy." The Professor admitted, however, that there
was room for improvement ; but the landlord
had no encouragement to do anything in
that way, for the tenants were perfectly indiarentto
keeping them tidy. Better schooling and parishsupervision, and the payment of wages entirely in
money would satisfy most of Hodge's wants. Lord
Ashley made similar recommendations, and so did the
succeeding speakers, who pretty generally agreed that
Dorsetshire would be a capital place for the hewer of
wood and drawer of water, if it were not for his
ignorance, immorality, and superstition. It should
be remembered, however, that Mr. Stanhope's report
is an official one, drawn up from the most ample
information; and if Professor Buckman thinks its
statements incorrect, he ought to give us something
more tangible than the mere expression of his dis-
belief.

ANOTHEIL TICUBOUNE CASE.

The Daily .News promises the sensation-Loving.public a rich morsel—another romantic tale of family
life, formed on the style of the Tichborne case.
Another "aristocratic mystery," our contemporary,
informs us, has to be unravelled ; and may,
for aught that can be said to the con-
trary, come before the courts. The facts of the
case are, in short, that a claimant of the rank and
name of Lord Fitzroy, George Charles' Lennox, the
second son of the fifth Duke of Richmond, which
son it was supposed had been drowned, nearly thirty
years ago, in the President steam-vessel, on a voyage
from America to England, has just made himself
known to "his family.' The family will have nothing
to do with him ; and certainly appearances are against
him. For twenty-nine years lie has kept silence; and
he now turns up at Battersea living very obscurely..
He says he never went on board the President, and.
that he has kept himself quiet all this time.'
But for what reason ? Men, we know, take some
very queer whims into their heads; but the soi disant
"Lord Charles" puts too great a strain upon our
credulity.

THE WEATHER, AND THE CROPS.

The farmers are, we are glad to note, again pleased
this week with the weather. The frost of the last few
days is the very thing they have wanted. Vegeta-
tion, especially in the non-sheltered parts, had
been making progress so rapidly that the
farmers were beginning to cry out ; they
wanted colder weather. The cold came ; and they
have had the very temperature they required. The
frost has been sufficient to check growth, but not to
destroy life. The wheat plant is not hurt ; and
though the face of the country is changed, no harm
has been done. It may be added that wheat sold
yesterday at from one to two shillings lower.

MR. MILL AND MR. ODGER.

Mr. J. Stuart Mill has been advising the working
man'a candidate for Southwark on the subject of the
Contagious Diseases Act. The late member for
Westminster, in a letter which he "authorised to
be read to Mr. Odger," says :—" I think
that opposition to these Acts is more particularly in-
cumbent on the defenders of the interests of
working men, •because working women are likely to
be the greatest sufferers by this system of legislation ;
and if it is to be carried out with anything like effi-
ciency, it could only be by an enormous expenditure,
which, of course, would fall in the long run upon the
Freat mass of the taxpayers." Mr. Mill thinks the
idea of keeping up a large army of soldiers in idleness,
and keeping, up an army_of women to pander to their
vices, is not to-be entertained for a moment. This
letter has apparently staggered Mr. Odger's convic-
tions. Previously he was strongly, in favour of the
Acts ; now he admits that the more he thinks of
them the less ho likes them.

POUR PERSONS DROWNED NEAR BLACKBURN.

On Sunday afternoon a sad accident occurred at Rish-
ton Reservoir, about two miles from Blackburn. The
crowd of skaters and others on the reservoir was enor-
mous. During the afternoon one or two men on skates,
dragging after them a number of women, forming a
chain of nine or ten persons, ventured on the centres;
the ice oscillated, gave way, and the whole numbet
were thrown into the water. A rush was at Once
made to the place by two or three hundred persons, but
they did not approach. A number of men threw off their
jackets, and by this means formed a rope, which they ca: t
out to the unfortunate persons. Six persons were safely
brought out of the water, but although every effort was
made, the others perished. Only one body has been
recovered; another of the deceased is known; but the
names of two others under the ice have not been disco-
vered.

NOTTINGIIAIf.

The Nottingham Conservatives have determined
to give the preference to a candidate of their own
county as the successor to Colonel Wright. But
should the right representative not be forth-
coming, they will invite Mr. Baillie Coch-
rane. This gentleman is an old member of
the Conservative party. He sat for Bridport from
September 1841 till April 1840, when he was un-
seated on petition, and afterwards from July 1847,
till July 1852. In January 1853 he unsuccessfully
contested Southampton, and remained out of Parlia-
ment until 1859, when he was returned for Honiton.
Ho sat for that borough until it was disfranchised.
At the general election of 1808 Mr. Baillie Cochrane
polled 1,118 votes for the Isle of Wight, against
1,353 given to Sir John Simeon. The Nottingham
Liberals have several candidates in view, but do not
appear to have decided upon any of them.
THE " MEMBEIO' FOR TIPPEEAILY.
Signs are not wanting that the House of Commons
will have some little trouble with its new legislative
treasure. The chances of Jeremiah finally leaving his
cell for St. Stephen's are, indeed, small. But Mr.
H. Moore intends to move that the " member" for
Tipperary be allowed to take his seat, so that a row
on the, subject may be counted on. Moreover, it is
understood that it will bo necessary for O'Donovan
Rossa to be admitted and heard before any resolution
for his exclusion can be arrived at.

T AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
A.. 1 EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which piovokos frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects aro truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

TEMPLE BAIL.

Mr. Bright's illustration has been illustrated. At
Birmingham he enforced the difficulty of passing seve-
ral Cabinet measures at once by the figure, " You can-
not drive six omnibuses abreast through Temple
bar." Yesterday, as two omnibuses were going in
different directions through the famed archway, a
sort of farmer's cart rashly drove in between them,
and caused an utter block. The three
vehicles were completely jammed together.
For fifteen minutes all the efforts of the
drivers and several policemen, and all the raging
of two old women in the farmer's cart, failedto secure
release. Fleet-street soon filled with waiting
vehicles, and the queue formed itself halfway down
the Strand. At last a desperate wrench brought out
the farmer's cart. It is clear that you cannot drive
three omnibuses abreast through Temple Bar, and
the sooner the incumbrance is removed the better.

SAFETY OF TIIE GREAT EASTERN.
Captain Sherard Osborn has received a telegram
which removes the doubts expressed as to the safety
of the Great Eastern. By it we learn the arrival of
the ship oil' Algoa Bay three days later than was
originally estimated. She then parted company with
the Chiltern on the 2nd of January, and proceeded
on her voyage. She could not, the telex am adds, be
expected at Bombay before the 31st instant.

A STRANGE SECESSION.
Three corporations in England do not appreciate
all the blessings of civilisation—they have not yet
learnt the " inestimable privilege" of the electric
telegraph. The local governments of Boston, Walton-
on Thames, and Farnham have each had their tele-
graphic communication cut off, because they will not
submit to the new arrangement with the Post Office.
They secede from the central Government in this
matter. It is to be hoped that deprivation will 60032
bring them again into the fold of the nation.

PROFESSOR SEELEY ON ROMAN HISTORY.
Professor Seeley delivered on Saturday the first
of a series of lectures on Roman History in the lec-
ture room of the South Kensington Museum.
Eschewing the romantic side of Roman history, he said.
it should be looked upon from a State point of view.
By taking this view they would be able to see the
changes which had passed over large classes of people
through the agency of the incidents which make up
the history proper of the Roman Empire. He contrasted
witliTurkey and other countries that carried de-
struction and serfdom with their conquests. Wherever
the Romans, he said, made a settlement there usually
became engrafted the freedom and civilisation to which
the citizens were accustomed. With regard to making
conquests as a principle, the lecturer said he could
not see what good it conferred upon a nation. Be
was puzzled to know, for instance, what advantage
India and the other far off possessions had been to
England. He argued that conquest was the com-
mencement of decadence.

circumstance. It is impossible oven to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
ocAupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend apon more children,

MR. ROEBUCK IN THE HAPPY VALLEY.

Mr. Roebuck took the opportunity at the soiree
of the Huddersfield Mechanics' Institute, to re-
ply to the comments that had been made
on his previous education speech. He com-
menced by congratulating himself on the privilege of
attending a meeting in what had been termed " the
Happy Talley," where clergymen, committee,
cricketers—everybody seemed to agree. lio said
the chairman had pointed out the necessity
of Government stepping in and educating the
" outcasts of society." That was what he
wanted. Tie had no desire to overturn
all the existing institutions for the education of the
country. He wished to supplement them in a part
which_they .could reach. He said he had been
twitted, scorned, and laughed at for alluding to the
wanderers who swarmed like wasps in our
streets, whom no institution could reach. He
repeated that this curse to society as they were,
should be pulled and yushed into the schoolroom.
With regard to the doings of the Birmingham League
and the Manchester Union, Mr. Roebuck thought
they, only created confusion. If they went
on in their present course they would bring
about such a hostile spirit as would entirely
put an end to national education. He expressed a
hope that all parties would learn to compromise their
differences, having in view the same end, and being
really intent upon the education of the great masses
of the community.
THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE UPON EDUCATION.

The new Bishop of Carlisle is very different from
the old one. Dr. Waldegrave would have spoken
very decidedly upon education, without reference to
the other side of the question. His opinions were of
a very clear stamp. One knew very much
what he would say before he declared himself.
Dr. Goodwin, the present Bishop, is an altogether
different man—he is cautious and calculating. He
leans to a side rather than takes it. Thus he spoke on
education on Saturday in his diocesan city. Education
was necessary, he said ; but he was not sure that
the ignorance which existed resulted from the want
of schools ; it rather arose from the parents not
taking interest enough to send their children to be
educated. Then compulsion was necessary. Well,
he was rather afraid of compulsion ; it " took the
spirit out of the thing." There was something to be U
said for the League, but he rather liked the nion.
The present system existed—that was one thing in
favour of it; it was founded upon local government
—the great point of the British constitution, and it
was connected with religion. Therefore he "inclined"
to the Union.
London, England, 1870-02-01

Mr. CONEYBEARE seconded the amendment.

A long discussion ensued. Mr. Laurence and
other shareholders supported the amendment. Lord
A. Churchill, Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. C. Field
supported the adoption of the resolution.

On a show of hands the amendment was carried
by 27 against 19. A poll was demanded, and, in
reply to a question, it was stated that the directors
would use the proxies sent to them to support the
agreement.
On the motion of Mr. CONEYBEARE, thanks were
voted to Mr. Cunliffe for the trouble he had taken
in the matter.

The CHAIRILAN stated that the poll would remain
open till 4 o'clock, and from 11 to 1 on Tuesday
(this day), at which latter hour the result of the
poll would be declared.

SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Ludgate Hill, London, E.C.
„IL

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.
The Annual Premium Income of the (lompany, at the
close of U6B, was £220,978 08.10 d., and the Total Amount
Assured £4,832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist —The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies-
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurances
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,562,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing. wa,4 £139,322 15 8
The Premium -income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve.... 50,000 0 0

£lB 322 15 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does tot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very larga proportion of
Policies which constantly 'arse, so that
the bulk of tbo assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.
The Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
:he Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average age of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.
A detailed List of Assets can be had on application.;

THE CHANGEMEN.

It is proposed to move for a parliamentary com-
mission of inquiry into the internal organisation and
working of the Irish Orange lodges. The Indepen-
dent Orange Association, one of the parties to the
recent (‘ split," met at Belfast on Saturday night in
furtherance of this project. It was resolved
that application should be made to Mr.
Dalway, M.P. for Carrickfergus, to support
the motion for the inquiry in the House of Com-
mons. Mr. Dalway is the member whose expulsion
from the Grand Lodge 'of Ireland has given rise to
such excitement. Mr. W. Johnston, Sergeant Dowsq,
Sir J. Gray, and other independent members, will
also be asked to support the motion.

THE SHOT CONTROVERSY.
Major Palliser writes to the Times to say that his
challenge to Sir Joseph Whitworth to try by experi-
ment the question of the superiority of the Whit-
worth fiathoaded steel shot over the Palliser pointed
chilled shot has not as yet been accepted.
It may be presumed that such a trial as that
proposed would be conducted at the private expense
of the competitors, as we are told in this letter? that
"it seems that great efforts are being made to inflict
upon the public a renewal of the great gun contro-
versy. The late controversy cost the country £30,000,
although it ;was confined to 12-pounders and
70-pounders. would ask what will be the cost
when 600-pounders are at stake ? Every round fired
from the 70-pounder costs about 17s; every round
fired from the 600-pounder would cost £8 or
In the defence of the Woolwich gun it is urged that
no instance has ever yet occurred of a gun
of the present service pattern having burst.
The writer adds that be does not blame Sir Joseph
Whitworth for using every effort to obtain an intro-
duction of his guns, but he does complain of high
officials, who know nothing of the construction of
guns, interfering in a technical matter of this kind,
and working directly against the advice of the
reoularly constituted advisers of Government on such
points.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

_Who Times of India states that the Suez Canal has
already given an appreciable stimulus to trade between
India and Europe. Steamers from the Mediterranean—
pioneers of new lines—have visited the ports of Bombay,
Madras, and Calcutta, and are taking in cargo for Liver-
pool, Marseilles, or some other Continental port. Two
fine powerful vessels belonging to tho Liverpool Merchants*
Trading Company are now in Bombay harbour. On their
.roya,ge to rcretely, these vessels had to reduce draught to
sixteen fe,L ; but they were positively assured that on
their return they would be able to steam through fully
laden. Four steamers, specially built for the Canal
by Mr. D. E. Macgregor, of Glasgow, have been
chartered by Messrs. William Nicol and Company.
The Messageries Imp6riales despatch their first vessel from
Calcutta to Marseilles, rid the Suez Canal, on the 25th
Instant. In addition to these new lines others aro
expected weekly

AN IRISH LABOUR MEETING.

A correspondent of the Irishman gives an account
of a meeting of labourers at Kiltrnane, `county of
Limerick. He says 000 stalwart, able, but downtrodden
labourers attended. Many of them delivered speeches.
The chief spokesman seems to have been one Mr. John
MCarthy, a blacksmith. That knight of the forge
contrasted the well cared-for condition of houses and
cattle and the neglect of the labourers, who Jived
in miserable " pigsties," and were the " most un-
tutored and degraded people in any civilised
country in the world." He complained that there was
a law for the protection of game, while the poor Irish
working man was hunted down all the year round.
The farmers, said Mr. M'Carthy, are moving heave?.
and earth to try and become independent of their
landlords, atid now why should not the poor labourer
try and become independent of them both P The
correspondent does not tell us how the speaker pro-
posed to do it.
