THE FRENCH PRESS ON LORD
CLARENDON.

The French papers refer with regret to the death of
Lord Clarendon :

The following is from the Patrie :—Lord Clarendon was
one of those diplomatists who place great questions of
right and justice above possible international antipathies
and mere party ideas. Towards France he has always
shewed himself just and sympathetic, and on this ground
we join our neighbours in regretting his death.
The Temps says that Lord Clthrendon represented Great
Britain at the Paris Congress, and was the most distin-
guished and complete type of English diplomacy.
The Constitutionnel declares that England has lost in him
one of her most esteemed and honoured statesmen.
The Liberte says that Lord Clarendon's existence was
too intimately connected with contemporaneous history
for it to be summed up in a few hasty lines. In the exer-
cise of his high functions he displayed a rare political
sagacity, while he shewed a total forgetfulness of self, and
an exceptional solicitude for all who were in distress.

THE NEW LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.—The Lord
Justiceship of Appeal in Chantery, which was declined
by Lord Westbury as far back as Septembei last, has at
length been filled up. This distinguished position, which
carries with it a seat in the Privy Council, and a
salary of £6,000 a year, has been given to Vice-
Chancellor Sir William Milbourne James. The
learned judge is a Sou of the late Mr. Christopher James,
of Swansea, and is 63 years of age. He was called to the
bar at Lincoln's.inn, June, 1831, and was made a Queen's
Counsel in 1853. Mr. J. Bacon, chief judge in bank-
ruptcy, will, it is stated, succeed Sir W. M. James as
Vice-Chancellor, uniting,whowever, with the functions of
Vice-Chancellor his present bankruptcy jurisdiction.
Mrs. Giadetone's garden party in Downing-street
is postponed from Vtldayj, the Ist, to Friday, the Bth of
next month, on account of La'r'd Clarendon's death.
Sir Shafto Adair has fifty labourers daily at work
in preparation for the opening of the People's Park, his
principal gift to the Ballymena commmunity.
The funeral of the late Earl of Clarendon will take
place on Saturdaynext, at Watford, in the neighbourhood
of which town isthe family seat, the Grove.
The Crown Princess of Prussia is pro gressing
satisfactorily. The recovery of her Royal Highness is so
far advanced that Dr. Gream has left the new Palace at
Potsdam for London.
The Archdeacon of London has passed a restless
night, and remains in the same critical condition. The
Pall Mall Gazette says heart complaint is the cause of the
Archdeacon's illness.
So severe have been the effectg of the drought in
the Home and Bushey Parks that branches of the trees
are being cut down for the deer to browse upon, and
brewers' grains are obtained for the cattle, in default of
grass.
Mr. Harry Lemon, the on of the lamented editor
of Punch, has writteAn a farce of an unusual character for

more will have the principal part.
The Eastern Budget announces that the construc-
tion of the Bosnian Railway is to commence in six Weeks.
It will be connected with the Austrian railways at Novi,
on the Save.

By the will of the late Mr. George Hounsfield, o
Sheffield, the sum of £7OO is to be devoted to the purpose

The New York papers of the 18th of June contain an

Daniel O'Connor, formerly an elastic web manu-
facturer at Derby, was tried at the Derby borough ses-
sions on Tuesday, on a charge of fraudulently and unlaw-
fully leaving England and taking with him £2,800 which
ought to have been divided among his creditors. He was
found guilty, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment
with hard labour.
The Eastern Budget says that the distinction just
conferred by the Emperor of Austria on Count Beust is
to a certain extent without precedent. There are several
cases in Austrian history where eminent men who have
deserved well of their country have been permitted to
quarter the arms of Austria with their own, but no case is
yet known of the arms of Hungary having ever been quar-
tered with those of a private family.
THE ANTECEDENTS OF THE BRIXTON BABY
FARMERS.—Some important information was received
yesterday !in reference to the antecedents of Margaret
Waters and Sarah Ellis, the two women now it. custody
charged with neglecting to provide proper food and
nourishment for several infants placed under their
care whereby the children's lives were endangered.
Their maiden name is said to be Forth, and their friends
are said to be in good circumstances, residing at Bingley,
near Leeds, Yorkshire. About the 16th of February the
two prisoners lived at No. 15, Bournemouth-road,
Peckham. They suddenly left, leaving the rent
unpaid, and tradesmen's bills unsettled. For four
days they lived at 1, Boston-cottages, John-street, South-
ampton-street, Camberwell, and then suddenly left. Next,
in a house close by Clapham Junction, where they only
remained a week ; then in Lockington-road, York-road,
Battersea. From there they went to No. 4, Frederick:
terrace, where their " baby-farm " was discovered.
THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY.—ViCe-
Chancellor James had before him yesterday the case of
Salisbury v. the Metropolitan Railway Company, in
which the plaintiff, a shareholder, sought to restrain the
directors from paying dividends out of capital, and to
compel them to repay the amount alleged to have been
illegally taken for the purpose of paying past dividends.
The Vice-Chancellor said it appeared to him that the
plaintiff was entitled to a decree with costs. He con-
sidered this to be a mere fictitious mode of estimating the
value of the property, and that the increased estimate
never ought to have been inserted in the accounts. His
Honour said he thought it a direct, plain, and wilful
violation of the Act of Parliament ' • and there would
be declarations to the effect that the dividends had been
improperly paid, and an order that the balance so erro-
neously distributed should be made good personally by
the directors (except the secretary), with 4 per cent. in-
terest ; without prejudice to their right to recover the
amount over from the company, and the cost of the suit.
He did not consider an injunction necessary.
MOBBING THE MIRACLE WORSER.—Yesterday
morning, at half-past nine, an immense crowd assembled
in front of Dr. Burn's Chapel in New Church-street, the
scene of the disturbance caused by Dr. Newton and his
" miracles " on the preceding day. Handbills were cir-
culated amongst the people denouncing Dr. Newton as
an " impudent charlatan, who had been ridiculed out
of his own country," and exhorting the people not to
allow their afflicted friends to be tortured by an impostor,
and not to assist in desecrating the house of God by
taking part in any of the " numbo jumbo antics " played
in it by the doctor. Some half-dozen cabs and carts
arrived with patients, and a considerable number of per-
sons, more or less crippled, were conducted into the chapel
by their friends. Comparatively few spectators were
admitted during the service, and when Dr. Newton left
the chapel he had to slip out by a back way, and jump
into a cab. He was, however, discovered by the mob,
and a cry was made to turn the cab over. Had it not been
for the exertions of a sergeant of police and two con-
stables, it would have gone hard with the " miracle
worker," who, however, mar aged, with their aid, even-
tually-to make his escape.
NAZARETH HOUSE.- Yesterday a meeting was
held at Nazareth House, Hammersmith, in favour of such
an alteration of the law of the rating of charities as would
ensure the exemption of this and similar charitable insti-
tutions. The chair was taken by his Grace the Duke of
Norfolk, and there was a large attendance of noblemen
and gentlemen, including Earl of Granard, Bishop
Morris, Monsignor Capel, Earl of Portarlington, Lord
Clifford, Lord George Lennox, Sir Robert Gerrard.
Sir Charles Clifford, Rev. Derby Read, M.A.,
Rev. T. Graham, Rev. M. O'Keeffe, Rev. C. Cadogan,
Colonel Townley, Dr. O'Connor, Major Trevor,
&c. A motion was made by Sir Robert Gerard, that the
meeting had heard with regret of the steps taken by the
local authorities, and that a change in the law ought to
be made. Monsignor Capel seconded the motion, and
thought the vestry in the execution of its duty had been
a little harsh. The resolution was supported by the Rev.
D. Reade, a clergyman of the Church of England. The
Earl of Granard moved a resolution, expressing surprise
that the rateable value of Nazareth House had been in-
creased, whilst the West London Hospital, contiguous to
Nazareth House, had up to 1865 been only nominally
rated. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Snell, a Pro-
testant, and supported by Dr. O'Connor. Another reso •
lution, pledging the meeting to use all constitutional
means to obtain an amendment of the law, was moved
by Lord Portarlington, and seconded by Mr. Ball,
The resolutions were agreed to unanimously, and after
a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting sepa-
rated.

JUDICIAL REFORM IN EGYPT.—The commission
which was sitting at Florence has approved of the pro-
posals with respect to the judicial reforms in Egypt. The
consent of Austria and Italy has been glven to the
arrangement concerted between Nubar Pacha and the
French Government, and England, Prussia, and Russia
have rlready virtually agreed to the conclusions arrived at
by the International Commission of Cairo.
THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—The Times un-
derstands that the directors of the Metropolitan District
Railway, at their board meeting on Tuesday, decided to
adopt the plans and recommendations of their engineer.
Mr. Fowler, for their city station. The station will be
at the junction of the Queen Victoria-street and Cannon-
street, with the entrance at the corner of Cannon-street,
and in view of the Mansion House and the Royal Ex-
change. The contractors will commence the work forth-
with, and it is anticipated that the station (which will be
called Mansion House Station) will be completed and
opened for traffic in the beginning of the next year. It is
intended on the opening of this station to run trains in
each direction at least every three minutes.

ANNIVERSARIES IN BERLIN.—On the third of
August the hundredth anniversary of the birth of
Frederick William the Third, the father of the present
King, will be celebrated. The Municipal Council have
refused to take part as a body in fetes which will have an
exclusively military character. It appears that at first
the Prussian authorities wished to associate this festival
with the memories of the Holy Alliance, but
this scheme was abandoned in order that the
French jealousy might not be aroused, and
because Austria might not have readily consented to
take part in a fete which commemorated that event.
King William the First, in making war on Austria, de-
parted from the text of the clause of his father's will,
which forbade his successors to make war on Russia and
Austria. As this alliance was broken through by the war
of 1866, Austria could not assist in celebrating its original
formation.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—The most popular and the
most effective medicine in the world for the cure of female
complaints. After many years' experience it is proved
that there is no medicine equal to Holloway's Pills for the
cure of diseases incidental to females. The invigorating
and purifying properities of these Pills render them
peculiarly valuable for functional disorders implying
delicacy of constitution. They may be taken by females
of all ages, at any time, for any disorganisation or irregu
larity of the system. They speedily remove the cause
and restore the sufferer to robust health. As a family
medicine they are unequalled, and may be taken by old
and young with perfect safety. . They are as mild as they
are efficaelows.—LADvr.]
