SHEER ABSIIRDITY.—Three youths were brought before
the Nottingham magistrates, charged with rioting on the
polling day at the late election. They were only fined a
guinea each. The Bench should have fleeced them more
heavily if these "lambs" are to be prevented from growing
up into " black sheep."

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NAVY.—The indefatigable Mr.
Baxter, in the late debate on the Navy Estimates, re-
lated a few of his experiences with regard to the stores
we have in hand in the various dockyards. What he tells
us is very cheering. First of all we have a ten years'
supply of candles. That ought to assist in making the
estimates light forsome time. We have enough towelling
for seven years. No one after that can say that the Ad-
miralty RefortiA doesn't wash. And—most cheering of all
—there is no chance of our Fleet not being likely to be
maintained in a proper state of efficiency. Why, of foot
pieces for stockings for our sailors there is a supply for no
less than fifty years. After- that who shall say that the
Navy is not placed on a proper footing?

ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN SHAW.—Captain Shaw,
the energetic chief of the London Fire Brigade,. has met
with a serious accident at a fire which broke out on Tues-
day morning, on the premises of Mr. Lloyd, a corn
chandler and hay merchant, in Leather-lane. Two of the
firemen employed in conveying the hose to the upper
part of the building, were injured when at work on the
blazing stairs, and Captain Shaw, while employed on the
roof of one of the burning buildings, slipped off and fell to
the ground, and was seriously injured. He was taken in a
cab to St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
A. Cowdt-n DLY ASSAULT PIINISFIED.—At West-
ininster' William Smith and Stephen Turnaull, have been
charged with being concerned, with two others not in
custody, in assaulting Mr. Henry Ayers, a broker. Mr.
Ayers said that some difference had arisen respecting the
payment of a small sum of money, and on Tuesday night
the prisoners and two other men followed him from a
public-house towards home. He appealed to the police,
and went in the opposite direction, but the men waylaid
him, knocked him down, injured his hand, and tore a
good coat to pieces. Mr. Arnold said it was a cowardly
assault, four men waylaying one like this, and beating
H him. e sentenced the prisoners to a month's hard labour
each, and ordered a warrant to be issued for the apprehen-
sion of the others.

EDUCATION IN FRANCE.—L' Opinion Nationale
has announced that a committee has been formed at
Strasbourg for the furtherance of gratuitous compulsory
education of a primary character. The movement is pro-
gressing favourably, and meetings have been held in
various towns. The principle of compulsion seems now
to be almost universally admitted ; gratuitous instruction
still encounters some objections. The Opinion thinks that
the complete equality that exists in the classes of these
schools, the distinctions awarded to those alone who de-
serve them, form the best of schools for a society which
evidently tends more and more to organise itself according
to the celebrated formula, "to each according to his
capacity, to each capacity according to its works," and in-
vites all France to unite in this great movement, from
which should follow the liberty, truth, and sincerity of
universal suffrage.",

A tiovEnisron CHARGED 'WITH IaIIIRZZLIZIENT...-•
Tzzet Pasha, ex-Governor of Jerusalem, has, we learn
from the Levant Times, been sentenced to three years
banishment, for embezzling Government money. He has
repaid half of his defalcations, which amounted to £3,000
His clerk, Alonstaplia, whb was his accomplice, is con-
demned to the same punishment, and is ordered like his
master to refund the sum embezzled.

The silver medallion of the Royal Humane So-

Tagus.

Mr. J. A. Fronde, Lord Rector of the University 01
St. Andrew's, Scotland, has awarde.d his prize for the
best essay on a subject proposed by himself to Mr. W. W.
Tulloch, student of St. Mary's college, for a historical
composition relating to the Gowrie conspiracy.
Mr. Graves, M.P., writes to the Times in order
to remove an erroneous impression with regard to his
motion for a halfpenny postage for printed matter and news-
papers. The rate proposed is a halfpenny for two ounces,
and a like rate for all newspapers.
An Irishman named Michael O'Donovan has
attempted to murder his wife at Merthyr. lie attacked her
furiously with a large knife, wounding her in the arm, and
inflicted two large wounds in the neck, It is supposed that
the man is insane. There are some hopes of the woman's
recovery. V .

WILLIADI ItUSSELL'S STOCK.—In the case of Sir W.
Russell shipowner, an application has been made to the Chief Judge of the New Court of Bankruptcy for an order
to restrain a sale by the sheriff. The bankrupt hired a
large house iu the City, which was used as a warehouse
for the storage of wines. A considerable proportion
of the wines in stock belonged to the bankrupt ; but the
largest quantity belonged to merchants who had left the
wines there. The question now raised by Mr. E. Reed
was whether the sheriff, being in actual possession, should.
proceed to a sale of the iron wine bins—part of the
realisable stock of Sir William Russell, and by removing
all the wines spoil them—for they Were most of
them of good vintages, and would not bear
shaking ; or whether the sheriff should not be restrained
from selling the iron fixtures. Mr. Lewis, on behalf of
the execution creditor, agreed that the iron fixtures
should be allowed to remain; and upon this consideration
his lordship consented that the sale should proceed, the
receipts, of course, being paid into court through an ap-
pointed receiver.

GRIMSTON V. TIMMS.—In the Probate case of Grimston
V. Timms Lord Penzance has been applied to by Dr.
Spinks, 4.0., on behalf of the plaintiffs, to condemn the
executors in the costs. It was contended that the
Grimstons had never been cited, though it was
well known they existed. After hearing Dr. Deane
on the other side, his lordship made the order, though he
said it was impossible to say who would ultimately have
to bear the costs. There are suits in Chancery in refe-
rence to the testator's property, and it is not thought im-
probable that the validity of his marriage with Mrs.
Timms will be contested.
THE NEW CAB LAW.—Four Cabmen have been sum-
moned at the Mansion House by the Blackwall Railway
Company for refusing to leave the station yard at
Fenchurch-street There is a stand for for forty cabs, whose
proprietors pay 4s. a week for the privilege. The defen-
dants did not do so, contending that the yard
was public property, and Sir R. Carden, taking the same
view, dismissed the summons. Two other cabmen have
appeared before the metropolitan magistrates, one of
them was fined at Southwark for loitering, the other was
fined 20s. at Bow-street for having plied for hire in an
unlicensed vehicle.

TILE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. -At the opening 05
the Middlesex Sessions, the attention of the
court was called to the fact that the fixtures for the pre-
sent year clash six times with those of the Central
Criminal Court, which was represented as " a
great injury to the bar, the prisoners and to
the due administration of justice." Steps were, it
was understood, to be taken to avoid such an- arrange-
ment another time.

UNSEASONABLE SALMON. A game-dealer, named
Downes, and a fish-dealer named Edwards, have been
charged, at .the Berwick Petty Sessions, with having
thirty-one unseasonable salmon in their possession. The
charge was laid under the 20th section of the
Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act, 1868, by which a penalty
of £5 for each fish can be imposed. Fish were packed in
a box addressed to Paris and on the back of the address
card was the address of Edwards. The justices decided
that the case was not proved against Downes, who
merely took the box to the railway. Edwards waa fined
£1 for each fish. .

LADvEhriagMHNT.J—Avoid Medicines—they always aggravate
chronic complaints; but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
mentor the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other roulettes,
andd invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
gs healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional re-
gularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We ex-
tract a few out of the 68.000 cures:—"The Pope's health restored

—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since,
abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes
a plateful at every meal. It has produe,pl a surprisingly bene-
ficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel-
lent food too highly. —From the "Gazette du Midi," July 21. Curs
