THE NATIONAL GALLERY.

Mr. LAMBERT asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether he considered that a considerable number of the
pictures in the Turner Room of the National Gallery was
creditable either to the national taste or to the national
talent; and whether it was not desirable that they should
be removed, to give place to other works of art.

Mr. AYRTON said that if he replied to the question he
should really be making himself the arbitrar of the
national taste and national talent, which would be a very
unusual thing in this country, where everybody thought
and acted as he pleased. It seemed to him that his hon.
friend would best attain his object if he submitted to the
consideration of the House a resolution expressing some
opinion, either that. the pictures might be removed or
retained.

THREATENING A MAGISTRATE.

Michael Ryan, drill sergeant of the Wisbeach Rifle
Corps, was charged on Wednesday, before the Wisbeach
borough magistrates, with threatening the life of Mr.
Richard Young, magistrate for the county of Norfolk and
Isle of Ely, and formerly M.P. for Cambridgeshire. The
defendant, who is an Irishman, had been convicted before
Mr. Young and fined for drunkenness and riotous con-
duct. After his conviction the prisoner was heard by
several witnesses to say that he would do for Richard
Young. Prisoner also stated publicly that he was going
to Canada within three months, and he would do for Mr.
Young before he went. The case was remanded till
Tuesday next.

THE MESSAGE ON CUBA.

The debate on Cuban affairs continues at Washington,
and General Butler has defended the Government, de-
claring that a war with Spain would prevent the success-
ful funding of the National Debt. General Logan ap-
pealed to Congress to prevent the barbarities committed
in- Cuba from continuing. The resignation of Attorney-
General Hoare is announced. Rumours are current in
Washington that the Cabinet will be affected by the
Cuban debate, and that Secretary Fish will probably
resign.

DREADFUL MURDER IN TYRONE.

A foul murder was discovered near Enniskillen, county
Tyrone. A young woman, named Lees, was found with
her head nearly severed from her body ; she had left home
in the company of a young man ; it was supposed they
had gone to America. The sad truth was revealed by the
discovery of the body of the unfortunate woman.

CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.

THE REPRESENTATION OF MINORITIES.

The Yorkshire Post of to-day (Friday) in a leader on
the debate on the second reading of the Representation
of the People's Acts Amendment Bill points out that the
minority claues of the Reform Act rests its chief claim on
the pound that it was the embodiment of a compromise
between the House of Commons and the House
of Lords, and was part of the settlement of
the Reform question accepted by Parliament
and the country. For this reason the attempt
to obtain the repeal of the clauses was singu-
larly indecent, and the Government ought to have resisted
it. Moreover, no case had been made out showing that
the clause as an experiment had failed. Such is
the opinion of the House of Commons, and such, no doubt,
would have been the opinion of the Upper House if the
measure which was accepted at their hands had been sent
back to them for rejection.

THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH
LEICESTERSHIRE.

Lord Howell Viscount Curzon has issued an address
(now the election is over), thanking the electors of the
Southern Division of Leicestershire for the honour con-
ferred upon him for some years in choosing him as one of
the representatives of his native country. His lordship
assured them that although no longer their member it
will be his highest ambition and greatest pleasure either
as a peer of the realm or as a neighbour, to watch over the
interests of all classes irrespective of political opinion.

YACHT MATCH FROM DOVER TO COWES.
The race from Dover to Cowes for two prizes one for
£l2O and the other for £BO, presented by Mr. J. Broad-
wood, Vice-Commodore of the Royal London Yacht Club,
has turned out for the most part a drifting match. The
Frona, a small cutter of seventy-eight tons, belpnging to
Mr. E. Boutcher, passed Ryde Pier at two minutes past
2 o'clock this afternoon, and reached Cowes soon after.
The next vessel, the- Julia, Mr. G. F. Moss, a cutter of a
hundred and twenty tons, passed the pier at 2.30. The
Frona therefore takes the first prize, the second falls to
the yacht of a different rig which gets home first, and it is
expected that the Guinevere, two hundred and eighty-
four tons, the property of the Commodore of the Royal
Victoria Yacht Club, Mr. C. Thelluson, which passed the
pier at 3.45, will save her time.

THE EDUCATION BOARDS.

Mr. TAYLOR asked the Vice-President of the Committee
of Council on Education, whether by the use of the words
" he" and "his " in the clauses of the Elementary Edu-
cation Bill relating to Local Boards, he intended to ex-
clude women from sitting on such boards.
Mr. FORSTER said it was not proposed to exclude females
from school boards. The expression used in the bill, it
was thought, was the best way of preventing such a pro-
ceeding taking place.
SEATS IN THE CENTRAL HALL.

In reply to Mr. Stacpoole,
Mr. AYRTON said the reason seats were not placed in
the central hall for the use of persons excluded from the
lobby, was because the Lord Great Chamberlain thought
it would prove inconvenient to the prosecution of the
business of Parliament, as they would most likely be
occupied by loungers and others during the time the
houses were sitting.

wretched system of small holdings occupied by men with-
out capital to do more than merely scratch the soil, and
earning for themselves a miserable existence, in the best
season, with slight prospectlof providing either for them-
selves or their families. No reason of expediency or po-
litical necessity could justify such legislation, for the
only hope of agricultural improvement in Ireland was the
gradual absorption of these small holdings until they be-
came of a size to remunerate the operator. He objected
to the bill on the ground that he had stated more than on
the presumed hardship to the landlords. It would be a
premium to those landlords who had swept their
estates by a general system of eviction, whilst those
who had not done so would find themselves
involved in endless litigation. He objected to the scale
of compensation,which would compel the landlords to seize
every opportunity of consolidating their farms, and that
opportunity would only arise with those tenants who fell
back in their rents, and whose misfortunes, if it had not
been for the present bill, the landlords would have sym-
pathised with rather than taken advantage of. In that
respect he believed the bill would act differently to what
was expected. At present it was considered harsh to evict
a steady tenant; but this moral restraint would now be
thrown down by reducing it to a pecuniary compensation
fixed by the Legislature. He was afraid the bill would
confirm the ideas now prevalent in Ireland, that the land
belonged to those who occupied it. He was solely
induced, in supporting the second reading, by the
hope that it would arrest agrarian outrage, although
it would be exceedingly difficult to give up a system that
had been very successful; and as they might expect in
Ireland an agitation far more formidable than any they
had yet experienced, it was most desirable they should ap-
ply an effectual remedy, although perhaps not the best,
to show that Parliament had done everything in its power
to bring about the prosperity of the country.
The Duke of ARGYLL defended the bill from the objec-
tions that had been made against it by noble lords oppo-
site. He said the propositions in the measure were the
wisest that could be devised, and it would have been ab-
surd to legislate upon the subject unless they provided
compensation for eviction.
The Duke of ABERCORN thought the principle of com-
pensation was carried out in a most objectionable manner.
He admitted that some of the provisions of the bill
were good, but there were others that violated every sound
principle of legislation. He would not offer any objection
to the second reading of the bill.
The debate, on the motion of Lord DIINBANY, was ad-

journed.
Their lordships rose at a quarter past twelve o'clock.

A LITTLE LEARNING IS A DANGEROUS THING.

Variety is said to be charming, but it is scarcely
agreeable to find people infatuated enough to set
forth the advantages of ignorance, and to regard
learning of the simplest kind as an evil to be avoided.
For some time past it has been a mystery to house-
holders why the dustmen did not call when they saw a
card in the window with a large D on it. It has been
ascertained that their disregard of the signal was due
to a very simple cause —they did not know their
letters. Bad as this news is, there is worse to come,
for it appears that their superintendent glories in
the deficiency of their acquirements. He thinks
they might get better employment if they knew how
to read and write. He appears himself to be an
adept in that ignorance which he admires in others,
and to overlook the fact that whatever is worth doing
is worth doing well. These dustmen do not seem
sufficiently educated for the position they now fill,
and therefore there is the less cause for anxiety
as to their too rapid rise in the social scale.
4‘ Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise," ex-
claims the poet ; but it has been reserved for this
superintendent to show that knowledge is perilous
because it may lead to better things, and that it is for
the advantage of employers to have the most unin-
formed persons about them. He may at least have
the negative satisfaction of knowing that his own
acquirements are not likely to necessitate his ad-
vance.

THE FENIANS.

The Postmaster-General of Canada, the Hon. A.
Campbell, is coming over to this country to urge upon the
Home Government the necessity for action against the
Fenians, on account of the injuries inflicted through the
organization in th• United States by the recent raids.

THE EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER AT
WALTHAM.

At the Government Powder Mills, situate at Waltham
Abbey, it is hardly necessary to state that a vast number of
men and boys are continually employed on the works,
and yesterday, whilst the sun was shining brilliantly, the
atmosphere being charged according to the statement of one
of the managers, with electric pressure, and a number of
men and boys were busy at their le ork in the mill, a scene that
it would be difficult to describe took place ; for in a second
the coining-house, a building not more than thirty feet
square, was blown high into the air, and two poor fellows
were hurled high above the building, and literally shat-
tered to pieces. Another was forced over the mill-stream,
and how any of the others escaped an instantaneous'
death can only be attributed to an interposition of
Providence. • Two other men were fearfully, if no
fatally, mangled—portions of the face and head
being rendered as black as charcoal, owing to
the action of the sulphurous flames. Two other men
were dragged out more dead than alive, and it is feared
that during the night death will terminate their suffer-
ings. Considering the large number of men employed on
the works, it seems perfectly remarkable that a far
greater number of persons had not been killed, but about
twelve or thirteen others are seriously injured, the
majority being scorched and charred by the action of the
respective blasts. The wreck that presents itself in the
grounds can be better imagined than described. The
coining house is blown into a misshapen mass,
the machinery is hurled about in terrible con-
fusion. The building, a few yards off, in which
a great quantity was packed, was cast far away in innu-
merable pieces, and the trees, just in full foliage, were
shivered to atoms. The wounded were removed to the
station, close by, and information was communicated to
the coroner. The two deceased men have left large fami-
lies to mourn their loss. The explosion, it is supposed,
was caused by the atmosphere being overcharged with
electricity.

THE PURCHASE OF IRISH RAILWAYS.

The discussion as to the expediency of the Govern-
ment buying up the Irish railways will no doubt be
materially enlarged now that the draft bill, pre-
pared in Dublin with a view of promoting that
object, has been published. There are in the
sister island four great lines of railways, and
several minor ones—chiefly, however, branch
lines—and the proprietors, especially of the former,
enjoy, it is said, an influence and a monopoly,
owing to the want of competition, which reacts in a
most disastrous way on the people, and on the gene-
ral progress of the country. It is now proposed that
the several companies be bought up by trus-
tees on behalf of the Government, and that
the price should be arranged either by mutual
consent, or by arbitration. The loan to defray the
cost might, it is suggested, be obtained from the
Irish National Debt Commissioners, and stock might
be issued for the amount. The term for fulfilling
the purchase mentioned in the draft bill is limited
to 2:5 years, and a schedule is appended fixing the
maximum rates of fares that are demanded on the
different lines.

ADMIRALTY ADMINISTRATION.

It seems the prevalent impression that naval stores
are now purchased by private contract, and not by
open tender as formerly, is erroneous. Very few
goods are privately bought, and these only in cases
where it has been found that the lowest tenderwas above
the market price, and the competition therefore only

TURNPIKES.

Sir WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN asked the Secretary of
State for the Home ]Department with reference to the
Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill, whether he was in a posi-
tion to state what were the intentions of the Government
as to the introduction of a bill for dealing generally with
Turnpike tolls in England and Wales.
Mr. BRUCE said he was sorry he could not give a clear
answer to the hon. gentleman. Owing to the press of
business a great many matters that had been
mentioned in the Royal Speech on the open-
ing of Parliament had not even been laid
before Parliament, and others had been greatly
delayed. All they could do under such circumstances
was to select such as should be produced during the pre-
sent session, but that selection had not yet taken place.
THE EMBASSY HOUSE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
Mr. RYLANDS asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether, in the event of the rebuilding of the Embassy
House at Constantinople being determined upon, he
would lay upon the table of the House the estimates of
the work proposed to be done before any contracts for the
same are entered into or sanctioned by the Treasury.
Mr. STANSFELD said that should it be determined to re-
build the Embassy house at Constantinople, he would
undertake it should not be done until the estimate was
laid before Parliament.

RAILWAY CATASTROPHE.

The New York papers, just received, report a
serious accident on the Delaware, Lackawanna, and
Western Railroad about seven o'clock on the
morning of the third instant, near Paterson, New
Jersey. Twenty-five carpenters left Paterson on
a car heavily loaded with timber for the new bridge
over the Passaic river, near Rutherford Park. The
track is down grade, and it is customary to send
the cars down alone, without any locomotive, the
gravity being sufficient' for its propulsion. In attempt-
ing to apply the brake upon approaching a sharp curve
leading to the trestle work carrying the road over the
Paterson and Newark Railway the chain of the brake
broke, and the car dashed around the curve at full
speed, and free from all restraint. The car went
partially round until, when a few feet upon the trestle,
it jumped from the track, and precipitated its load
of human beings and heavy bridge timber in one con-
fused wreck some twenty feet below. The first impres-
sion was that nearly all were killed, and for an instant no
one stirred. The uninjured, however, one by one jumped
up and proceeded to extricate the wounded from the
ruins. Twenty persons were killed and injured.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

The returns of traffic on the English and Scotch
railways for the past week are noticeable, owing to
the great increase which has taken place on some
of the more important lines. In some measure this is
to be attributed to the fine weather,
and while farmers are complaining of the
long-continued drought, railway managers are reaping
golden rewards. But beyond this the increase of our
railway traffic is an indication of the resuscitation of
trade, and must therefore be a matter of congratula-
tion to those outside the railway interest. The
North Eastern Railway chews an increase,
compared with the corresponding week of last
year, of £13,120; the Midland, of £16,835 ; the
Great Eastern, of £6,107; the Great Western, of
£4,416. In the case of the North-Western the

increase amounts to no less a sum than £16,320;
while the important Lancashire and Yorkshire
figures at £23,912. The Caledonian line shows an
increase of £2,290; the Metropolitan Railway of

DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders
of whisky in the world. Their Old Irish Whisky is r ommended
by the medical profession in preference to French brand . 9up
plied in casks and cases for home use or exportation. Quotations

THE ED3IUNDS SCANDAL.

The question is raised whether the prerogative of
the Crown has not been unduly strained by the arrest
and lodgment in prison of Mr. Leonard Edmunds.
Mr. Edmunds has just given notice of an action
against Mr. Gladstone and other Treasury
officials for libel in connection with the
late celebrated lawsuits. Immediately. . on
this fact being known, Mr. Edmunds was appre-
hended for the amount of the award given against
him. It is now thought by some that the liberty of
the subject has been somewhat summarily
dealt with in a case where it was advan-
tageous that a troublesome assailant should
be rendered as far as possible harmless.
Be this as it may, the question will probably have to
be settled in court, as a summons is said to have
been issued to try the validity of the case. By the
Debtors Act of 1869 it was enacted that no person
should be arrested after January, 1870, for "making
default in payment" of money. Some exceptions
are certainly provided for, but Mr. Edmunds's friends
allege that they do not touch upon his case in any way
whatever.

THAMES.

Julia Mahoney, better known as the " Wild Irish
Girl," although she is 33 years of age, and is in ap-
pearance an old woman of 80, was charged with being
drunk and disorderly, and attempting to strangle
herself NTith her apron strings in a cell in the King
David-lane station-house, Shadwell. The prisoner
has been repeatedly convicted, and is a most dis-
orderly and violent woman. She has frequently
knocked down constables, and others, broken pub-
licans' windows, and has kept otherwise quiet dis-
tricts in a state of turmoil and confusion for hours
by her mad pranks. A police-constable, named
Joseph Soper, took her into custody after she had
been making a great disturbance and collecting a
disorderly mob about her. Inspector Rouse knowing
that she was in the practice when locked up of at-
tempting to strangle herself kept a careful watch
over her. She soon made fast her apron strings to
the bars over the cell door, and made a slip noose a la
Calcraft, round her neck and attempted to strangle
herself. She was sent to prison for a week.

PECULIAR TO THE SEX.

That unnovel element in Great Britain's happi-
ness and greatness. "An Inquisitive Woman," ex-
presses a desire to ask through the press
one or two questions as to the admission
of women to medical classes. True to
the peculiarity of her sex, she asks six or seven. In
the main, she desires to know why lady physicians
should prove a curse to civilisation, when it
is admitted that the nursing at hospitals has
never been so thoroughly good and efficient
as since educated women have undertaken to teach
and practice in that department. In the next place
she asks, are there not questions of morals in which
women are legitimately interested ? Are there not
many such questions upon which the voice of woman
should be heard ? "An Inquisitive Woman" says
she is drawn to these questions by the remarks of
one of the Professors in the Edinburgh discussion,
and evidently thinks her questions answer them-
selves against the prurient point of view taken by
the learned individuals in question.

FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION.

A fatal collision took place at two o'clock on Saturday
morning at the Sykes Junction of the Great Northern
Railway, about seven miles from Lincoln. Two luggage
trains, one from Doncaster and the other from Retford,
through some mishap not yet explained, ran
into each other. One of the firemen was killed., besides
three horses. Several trucks were smashed, and the line
was blocked for some time.

HAWKERS AND THEIR LICENSES.
Lord Binnaird thinks that serious evil is likely to result
from the abolition of the hawker's licences. He has
written a letter to Mr. Lowe explaining his views :
"Reducing the amount paid for a licence on a former
occasion had the effect of. adding. considerably to the
number of hawkers, and, if no licence be required, they
will spread like a host of locusts over the country. It
would certainly diminish the number in poorhouses, as
any who have the power of locomotion would provide
themselves with a basket, and thus great encouragement
will be given to vagrancy." In theory your proposal may
be thought to benefit the poorer classes, but in practice it
will be the reverse ; in former days, when the means
of communication were scant, doubtless hawkers
conferred a benefit on persons residing at a dis-
tance from a town or village ; but now that these are
reached with so much greater facility the case is altered,
except in rare instances in the Highlands of Scotland.
Even the small shopkeepers in the country can hardly
exist, purchasers preferring the market town, where the
choice is greater, and the profit made in the village shops
is saved. The country shopkeeper, who, as he has to
stand competition with the inferior goods of the hawkers,
would be a great sufferer by your proposal, for the number
of hawkers would be greatly increased ; they already
swarm in the country, and as a class bear a very disreput-
able character, carrying off all they an lay their hands
upon. They are known to be receivers of stolen goods,
and several instances have come under my notice where
they have instigated farm servants and agricultural
labourers to acts of dishonesty. Some small shopkeepers
in towns take out a hawker's license, and send a man with
inferior goods through the country, professing to let their
unfortunate dupes have great bargains under a promise to
receive payment by instalments ; watches, for instance,
are frequently offered, and prove a great temptation
to young lads, and the parents find at the term
that their wages are arrested for their sons' debts.
In Cornwall, and I believe in other counties in England,
summonses before the county courts for debts to hawkers
contracted by the wives and daughters of miners and
others are very frequent, and many girls fall victims to
these unprincipled gentry, who get them into their power.'
I hope you will be induced to inquire into the circum-
stances connected with hawking, as although you may
still persist in your proposal, something might be done to
check the indefinite increase of this public nuisance, and
at all events to make credit debts irrecoverable by law."
