THE RESIGNATIONS AT THE ADMIRALTY.

The rumours of the resignation of the Controller
and the Chief Constructor of the Navy, are partially
confirmed, and, although it was stated a day or two
ago that one of the gentlemen might be induced to
reconsider his determination to withdraw from his
important position, it is feared that the chances are
too slender to permit such a consummation of the
general wish. A correspondent of the Scotsman
says that the retirement of Sir Spencer Robinson
and Mr. Reed has arisen from a misunderstanding
between them and the First Lord of the Admiralty
on a point of official discipline. The Controller of
the Navy, finding that the effect of the "self-denying
ordinance" promulgated by Mr. Childers would be
to prevent him from any chance of promotion or dis-
tinction in active service afloat, remonstrated against
the order, and claimed to be restored to the active
list. While his claim was still under consideration
he addressed a peremptory letter to the
First Lord, threatening to resign unless rein-
stated on the active list, and adding that
his resignation would be followed by a similar step
on the part of Mr. Reed. This was too much for
Mr. Childers ; he at once consulted his colleagues,
and the upshot resulted in the acceptance of both
resignations. This version evidently does not cover
the matter. It is quite possible that Sir Spencer
Robinson may have placed himself out of court by
what may be considered an act of intimidation ; but
there is no reasonable ground for the inference that
Mr. Reed's determination is connected with the Con..
troller's line of action.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEWARK.

Nothing special transpired when the jury met yester-
day morning. A report by the railway officials states
that the pond in the vicinity of the spot where the col-
lision occurred had been searched, and the ground
underneath the engine had been dug out without
any more bodies being found. At half-past six yesterday
evening four males and three females, passengers, re-
mained at the hospital, of whom the young man Haddock
and a woman are in great danger : the others are progress-
ing favourably. Mr. Mellor, Mrs. Greenwood, and Mr.
Wilson have been removed home to Leeds. William Pitts
and Thomas Greaves, lying at the Angel Inn, are
not likely to recover. The Dutchman Toff is believed to
be slightly better. A Polish Jew at the Ram Inn, whose
name is unknown, lies without hOpe of recovery. Mr.
Hellon, whose wife was killed and who was at first thought
not to be seriously injured, has unfavourable symptoms,
and this case may yet prove fatal.

1870.

Such attempts to keep up 'monopolies and
restrict the .freedoni of trade ought to be
severely dealt with. They precisely correspond with
the obnoxious acts committed by trade unionists•in
restraint of their fellow workmen. There can be no
reason why a less measure of justice should be meted
out in one case than in the other. A. great company
should not be allowed to adopt the practice of picket-
ing any more than a few tailors:

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newnaan. F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food .Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work
is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at ls. 6d. each part. Part X.
now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable. —Daily Telegraph.
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
• The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
Wall authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9. '

THE ORLEANIST PRINCES AND THE
LEGISLATIVE BODY OF FRANCE.
A letter signed by the Comte de Paris, the Prince de
Joinville, the Duc d'Aumale, and the Duc de Chartres
has been addressed to the French Legislative Body, and
was handed to the President yesterday. The letter is
dated Twickenham, June 19 :
" Messieurs les Deputes—You have had laid before you a
proposal to abrogate the exceptional measures levelled
against us. In the face of this proposition we feel bound
not to remain silent. Since 1848, under the Government
of the Republic, we have protested against this law,
which exiles us—a law which nothing justified then, and
which nothing has justified since—and we now renew our
protest before the representatives of our country. It is
not a favour that we ask, it is our right—a right which
belongs to all Frenchmen, and of which we alone are
despoiled. It is our country to which we ask to be
restored—our country which we love, which our family
has always loyally served, from which not one of our tra-
ditions separates us, and whose name alone ever makes
our hearts beat; for nothing can compensate the exiled for
their absent country."

The Memorial Diplomatigue of last evening contains
the following respecting the Greek massacre :—" Lord
Clarendon has resumed the negotiations for the des-
patch of a collective note to Greece, signed by the
protecting Powers and Italy, Austria, and Prussia, rela-
tive to the affair of the brigands at Marathon. In
order not to complicate the question and to avoid
furnishing Russia with a pretext to decline signing the
note, England and Italy will settle directly with Greece
the question of the indemnity. The note which is now
accepted by all the Powers, statss the impression produced
on the whole civilised world by the massacre at Marathon,
and recommends Greece to adopt measures to prevent the
repetition of similar revolting scenes."

THE REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL

The nomination for Bristol to fill the vacancy caused
by the unseating of Mr. Robinson, took place at the
BristOl Exchange, this morning. The candidates were
Mr. Kirkman Daniel Hodgson, Liberal, and Mr. Sholto
Vere Hare, Conservative. There was the usual display
of horseplay, and uproar, and not one word was heard
beyond the reporters. Mr. Hare was proposed by Mr.
John W. Mills, ex-member for Bristol, and seconded by
Mr. Kearsey, chairman of the Bristol, Working Men's
Conservative Association. Mr. Hodgson was proposed
by Mr. Christopher Thomas, and seconded by Mr.
Frederick Terrell. The shew of hands was largely in
favour of Mr. Hodgson. A poll was demanded for Mr.
Hare, and fixed for to-morrow.

OXFORD COMMEMORATION.

The Standard declares that the commemoration at
Oxford, as it has been celebrated for the last two hundred
years, is a ceremony peculiar to England, and which
cannot be imagined as existing in any other country. A
commemoration without the undergraduates' gallery
would be perhaps a very decorous, but would certainly be
a tame and dull affair. We do not know, indeed, that the
fooling is not the most valuable part of the day's proceed-
ings. We would give up a good deal of the academical
proprieties rather than lose this most characteristic and
certainly popular adjunct of the ceremony, even with
all its extravagance. In their own peculiar way the un-
dergraduates may be said in fact to discharge a most use-
ful public function on those occasions. They represent a
very wholesome influence at the University. They are
the embodiment of that turbulent spirit of liberty which
we are old-fashioned enough to think is a thing of which
to be proud rather than ashamed. The demonstra-
tions of the undergraduates' gallery reflect that tumult
of public opinion which is the soul of British institu-
tions. There is one time-honoured possession of our
country at least which we trust ever to retain, in
spite of Sir John Coleridge and Lis allies, and that is the
free, impartial, a,ndmanly voice of the youth of Oxford.
Whatever changes threaten the University, it would be a
serious loss to the public life of this country if anything
happened by which the annual ceremony of the Com-
memoration was robbed of any of its characteristic fea-
tures. On the late occasion, at least, it could not be said
that the undergraduates exceeded the bounds of rational
and wholesome licence, or that their conduct was un-
becoming that of gentlemen having to maintain the
spirit of our chiefest seat of intellectual and manly
culture.

A collision occurred a few days back at Charleroi,
on the Great Central Railway of Belgium, between a pas-
sengers' and a goods train. The two engines and several
waggons were crushed to pieces, and one carriage was
thrown down the embankment, fifty feet high. Two
persons were killed, and several others seriously hurt.

IADVERTISEMENT.I - Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--
Colds, Influenza--Until within a very few years these
complaints were treated with blood-letting, blistering,
and emetic. Now a more rational method of cure has
been adopted. Holloway's Ointment and Pills purify,
heal, and strengthen. They never weaken the body, nor
disconcert the nervous system. Depletion doubtless
arrested these diseases, but at the same time it took away
nature's means of restoration. Holloway's remedies, on
the contrary, while working the cure are laying the foun-
dation for perfect recovery, not only of the afflicted, but
every other organ. Holloway's preparations are also the
best preservatives against the whole list of winter ail-
ments ; they throw out impurities and preserve the vital
principle from disease, or lead it back to health.

AN ECCENTRIC GENTLEMAN.

The late William Maxwell Stewart, of Lochnagar,
• Scotland, must have been in his lifetime a singular
man. A trial is now being proceeded with in the
Glasgow Court of Session to test the validity of his will,
and the evidence already adduced proves him to have
been a very eccentric character indeed. He probably had
heard. early in live that an angry man is always
supposed to have a fiddle, which in his hours of
quietude lie is understood to keep hanging on a cer-
tain nail behind some door. " Give the man
a nail to hang his fiddle on" is often said
in Scotland, when a fellow shows extraordin-
ary ebullitions of temper. Mr. Stewart knew
the value of a fiddle, and it is stated that when he
was in really violent passions, as he often was,
only the soothing melody of the violin pacified
him. Among his other peculiar traits of charac-
ter this gentleman is alleged to have shewn
a decided partiality for an unsettled life.
In proof of this it was stated that he had been a
clerk in Liverpool, an officer in the navy, an officer in
the army, and a gentleman farmer in the course
of his eventful career. During his life at
his Scotch farm the deceased went out regularly
to buy his own herrings, and all provisions for him-
self and a single servant. He was often seen clothed
like a beggar. At other times he appeared to be
filled with overweening vanity, and on these
occasions he dressed well, and wrote letters
to various authorities, declaring himself a
worthy claimant for the Victoria Cross.
Mr. Stewart, all through his latter years, seemed to
have groundless suspicions of conspiracies against
him, chiefly among his own relatives, and it was
always observed that he persistently watched the
tops of the houses opposite to those in which he lived,
in expectation of seeing the man, who would
venture to assail him, appear there. His
chief food was eggs, as he believed they never could
be poisoned. In the will of this strange individual
who, by-the-bye, belonged to a distinguished family,
it is provided that a large sum of money should be
invested to provide the Sunday School children at
Inverkip " with bread, butter,•and tea every Sun-
day," each class to be •' supplied with knives and
forks with ivory handles." The deceased also be-
queathed trusts for the encouragement of Scotch
music, particularly of reels and jigs played by per-
formers on the violin.

OMNIBUS NURSING.

It is satisfactory to find that the Worship-street
Police-court magistrate takes a serious view of the
case of omnibus "nursing" which has just come be-
fore him. The practices complained of were most
disgraceful. A private individual started an
omnibus in the east of London, and straight-
way the great organisation known as the London
General Omnibus Company set itself to drive him
off the road. Six omnibuses were put on for the
express purpose of causing an obstruction, and for
months the private proprietor's vehicles were so
hampered before and behind with the "nursing "
omnibuses that his custom grievously fell off.

THE WRECK OF THE MERCURIUS.

The survivors of the crew of the Mercurius have reached

Brazilian coast, on the 25th March last, when on a voyage
from San Francisco to Liverpool. The survivors had
been fifty days on the island living on fish and birds. The
vessel and cargo were fully insured. She was an iron
clipper ship, 839 tons, and owned by Mr. James M. Wood,
Liverpool.

THE NEW LAW COURTS.

Nolurther question is likely to arise as to the locality
of the New Law Courts, which will be erected upon
the Carey-street site, that has long since been
cleared for that purpose. The designs will shortly
be finally approved, and the working draw-
ings will then be proceeded with. There is reason
for a confident expectation that the preparation of the
site, and the labour of digging out the foundations, will
be undertaken in the course of the next winter, and that
the constructive works will be cougnenced in the spring of

LIGHT COIN.

The defects of the plan hitherto adopted for
the withdrawal of light coin from circulation are in a
fair way of being removed. The publication of the
correspondence between the Treasury and the Bank of
England on the subj ect is of interest as she wing the un-
fairness which compelled the public to lose 21d. per
ounce on all light gold coin taken to the Mint,
for the purpose of being converted into bars,
previous to re-coinage. The proposed change will
enable the Bank of England to give the public
£3 17s. 9il. per ounce instead of £3 17s. bid. with
immediate payment, while the difference between
the first-named sum and the mint-rate of
17s. 100. will be retained by the Bank,
as compensation for interest and expenses. The
Lords of the Treasury have issued instructions to
the Mint authorities to " receive all light
sovereigns and half sovereigns coined at
the Mint or any of its branches, which
may be imported in parcels of not less than
one hundred pounds nominal amount, as if
they were bar gold, and to deliver new gold
coins in exchange for them by weight at the
Mint rate of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce." The Bank
has also htsued an announcement in accordance with
the instructions of the Treasury, and after the Ist
of July the public will be paid at the rate of
£3 17s. 9d. per ounce for light coin. This is a step
in the right direction, and the speedy manner in
which the subject has been disposed of reflects equal
credit on the Treasury and the authorities at
Threadneedle-street.

THE TRIUMPHS OF SERVANTS.

It would seem that there are some judges in our
law courts who do not believe that servants wield
sufficient power in their respective departments in a
household. It is hard certainly to expect that all
men learned in the law are acquainted with the
tyranny of cooks, for instance, who usually monopo-
lise, for purposes best known to themselves and
to policemen, all rights in the kitchen. It is the
meek wives of such men who are abused in the
absence of their lords, by these despots, as well
as their children, who dare not even peep
into the sanctum, without incurring a penalty
of being " dratted" venomously by the irate supe-
rior. Lawyers, indeed, may be said to
take smaller interest in domestic matters than
other men, and therefore it is not with very
great surprise that we learn of a merciful adj
tion just made by one of them in Liverpool.
A lady in the suburbs of that town engaged a cook
to come to her house on trial for a month. The
self-possessed female, on arrival at her future sphere
of action, saw with horror that her mistress
had a partiality for pet dogs, and that
two of these interesting little animals were
to be her co-occupants of the kitchen. The woman,
with the usual sense of personal authority,
at once put the dogs in a kennel out-
side the house, but to this the lady of
the house objected. The servant accordingly
immediately left the house, and sued for a
month's wages. Mayhap the county court judge of
Liverpool is a bachelor. If a married man, he must
assuredly have been blessed all his life with model
kitchen maids ; for he expressed commiseration for
the plaintiff's misfortunes and actually gave her a
verdict, contending that unclean animals had no
right by law to be in the kitchen, where they could
only be on sufferance and at the pleasure of the
cook.

THE LOSS OF THE CARNATIC.

The case of Gilliland v. the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam. Navigation Company, was resumed yesterday,
in the Court of Common Pleas before Mr. Justice
Byles and a special jury. The action was brought
under Lord Campbell's Act, by the widow of one of
the passengers in the unfortunate steamship Carnatic,
which was lost, together with 32 passengers, in the
Red Sea last September. The circumstances of the
vessel's grounding on the coral reef, and subsequent
slipping down into deep water, haVing been 'detailed
by the officers and passengers, Sir John Karslake,
Q.C., addressed the jury for the
defences con-
tending that no negligence had been shewn on the part of
the officers of the vessel ; and that even if stranding was
held to be the result of negligence, it was too remote a
cause of death to render the company liable.
Mr. Butt, Q.C., replied on behalf of the plaintiff, con-
tending that on a fine night, like that on which the vessel
stranded, with the landmarks visible, if ordinary care and
prudence had been exercised, such a disaster could not
have happened. The officer who had charge of the watch
on the occasion had not been called for the defence, doubt-
less for a good reason. He also submitted that there was
negligence on the part of the captain in not landing the
passengers while he could do so in safety, instead of
keeping them upon the wreck.
His lordship summed up at considerable length, and
after reading portions of the evidence, said that the cap-
tain's certificate had been suspended by the Board of
Trade, but the jury ought to put against that his long
previous conduct and experience. He left it to them to
say whether there was such a want of skill and care in
getting on to the reef, as naturally led to the death of the
plaintiff's husband. In his view, if they thought there
was such want of skill and care, that was sufficient ; but
inasmuch as Sir John Karslake contented that the original
negligence was insufficient, he should ask them whether
there was additional negligence in not landing the
'assengers before Tuesday mi ,ir In his o, 'f

ueiore Tuesday ..corning. is opinion, L
negligence landed them on that reef, and if, without fur-
ther negligence, they lost their lives, then it was suffi-
ciently proximate. They must not, however, be guided
by his opinion, but use their own judgment. If they
found for the plaintiff, then they must assess the amount
of damages, and the Act made it necessary for them to
to say how much should be given to each of the claimants.
Deceased had left a widow and two children—one a girl
aged eight, And the other a boy aged five years. He also
made an allowance of £4O a-year to his mother. He had
left £3OO, and a policy of insurance ; but the insurance
company had failed, and therefore the insurance was lost.
The jury, after being locked up for twenty minutes,
found that there had been fatal negligence both in getting
on to the reef and in getting the passengers off. They
assessed the damages at £3,000, apportioned as follows :
£2,000 to the widow, £4OO to the son, £4OO to the daughter
and £2OO to the mother of the deceased.

THE BELGIAN QUESTION.

The Post says that Belgium is allied to England by
ties of the most various nature—perhaps more closely
than any other country in Europe—and it is only natural
that the movement of Belgian public affairs should be
watched with a peculiar interest from this side of the
water. In the last elections a great effort was made, and
the result has been that the composition of the Chamber
has been entirely altered, so that, instead of containing,
as heretofore, a decided Liberal majority it is now as
nearly balanced as possible between Liberals and Cleri-
cals. The Liberals will suffer no very great hardship
by being deprived of power for a time. They have
had a lengthened lease of it, and it is a most
strengthening thing for a party which has been
living long on the sweets of office to be relegated for a
season to the hard and wholesome fare of opposition.
They must inevitably, even in that position, have the
greatest controlling power over the public policy, and that
may console them for losing the control of the public
patronage, The Liberals well know, too, that the real
strength of the country is behind them ! and unless the
Clerical Cabinet which seems to be inevitable should
prove as false to its principles and traditions as the Tory
party did under not very dissimilar circumstances in Eng-
land, they will soon render themselves impossible as a
Ministry. M. Frere-Orban and his colleagues, have left
the Administration more through an accident than from
any other reason; they are followed by the regrets of the
whole country ; and it cannot before they are again called
to the posts they have filled so well.

DISTURBANCES AT BRISTOL.

Half a dozen lads were apprehended for stone-throwing
at Bristol this morning. One lad in the crowd at the no
urination had his leg broken, and was removed to the
infirmary. An old woman has died at the infirmary from
concussion of the brain, caused by a fall during the pro-
cession of Mr. Hare, on Monday last. Things look
threatening for to-morrow.

LIGHT COIN.

The defects of the plan hitherto adopted for
the withdrawal of light coin from circulation are in a
fair way of being removed. The publication of the
correspondence between the Treasury and the Bank of
England on the subject is of interest as she wing the un-
fairness which 'compelled the public to lose 20. per
ounce on all light gold coin taken to the Mint,
for the purpose of being converted into bars,
previous to re-coinage. The proposed change will
enable the Bank of England to give the public
£3 17s. 9d. per ounce instead of £3 17s. 62d. with
immediate payment, while the difference between
the first-named sum and the mint-rate • of
£3 17s. 10d. will be retained by the Bank,
as compensation for interest and expenses. The
Lords of thee Treasury have issued instructions to
the Mint authorities to " receive all light
sovereigns and half sovereigns coined at
the Mint or any of its branches, which
may be imported in parcels of not less than
one hundred pounds nominal amount, as if
they were bar gold, and to deliver new gold
coins in exchange for them by weight at the
Mint rate of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce." The Bank
has also issued an announcement in accordance with
the instructions of the Treasury, and after the Ist
of July the public will be paid at the • rate of
£3 17s. 9d. per ounce for light coin. This is a step
in the right direction, and the speedy manner in
which the sutject has been disposed of reflects equal
credit on the Treasury and the authorities at
Threadneedle-street.

THE RESIGNATIONS AT THE ADMIRALTY.

The rumours of the resignation of the Controller
and the Chief Constructor of the Navy, are partially
confirmed, and, although it was stated a day or two
ago that one of the gentlemen might be induced to
reconsider his determination to withdraw from his
important position, it is feared that the chances are
too slender to permit such a consummation of the
general wish. A. correspondent of the Scotsman
says that the retirement of Sir Spencer Robinson
and Mr. Reed has arisen from a misunderstanding
between them and the First Lord of the Admiralty
on a point of official discipline. The Controller of
the Navy, finding that the effect of the ''self-denying
ordinance" promulgated by Mr. Childers would be
to prevent him from any chance of promotion or dis-
tinction in active service afloat, remonstrated against
the order, and claimed to be restored to the active
list. While his claim was still under consideration
he addressed a peremptory letter to the
First Lord, threatening to resign unless rein-
stated on the active list, and adding that
his resignation would be followed by a similar step
on the part of Mr. Reed. This was too much for
Mr. Childers ; he at once consulted his colleagues,
and the upshot resulted in the acceptance of both
resignations. This version evidently does not cover
the matter. It is quite possible that Sir Spencer
Robinson may have placed, himself out of court by
what may be considered an act of intimidation ; but
there is no reasonable ground for the inference that
Mr. Reed's determination is connected with the Con-
troller's line of action.
