MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The Land Bill.

The wretched numbers that took part in the later
divisions on the Land Bill shew clearly that the House
of Commons has had quite enough of the measure.
When au important clause is decided by a division
of 114 to 27, the affair must indeed be considered
settled. The majority consisted of Liberals, the
minority for the most part of Conservatives. How
tired the latter party must be of the conflict, when only
about a score shew fight ! Of the 27 who formed the
minority,two or three were not Conservatives. in the
other division—that on Mr. Kavanagh's new clause
—the Government won by 192 to 120. This, too,
was a party division.

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN EMPLOYED IN

AGRICULTURE.
Mr. FAWCETT was proceeding to call attention to the
report of the commission appointed to inquire into the
condition of children employed in agriculture, and to move,
"That, in the opinion of this House, the evidence obtained
by this commission proves that the ignorance which pre-
vails in the rural districts is in a far greater degree due
to the early age at which children are taken from school
to be sent to work than to any general deficienoy in the
means of education,'.' when the attention of the Speaker
was directed to the number of members present, and
At ten minutes to nine the House was "counted out."

THE BALLO r BILL.

The Government Parliamentary Elections Bill, published
this morning, contains thu following provisions as to the
method of taking the poll, and as to the expenses of
election— the two points on which a division of
op'niou among the Liberal members of the House
exists. The returning officer is to provide a sufficient
number of ballot papers, and a sufficient number of
polling stations, but he is not to be present at
the election. The deputy returning officer, or " presiding
officer," is to give to each voter a ballot• paper, which
has a distinguishing number or letter on the back, having
attached thereto a counterfeit with the same number printed
on its face. On the face of the ballot paper the names
of the candidates are to be printed, with a square
opposite each. When the voter gets the ballot paper,
the presiding officer must enter on the counterfoil the
number of the voter on the register. The voter goes
into a sec et compartment, and puts his cross opposite
each caudidate for whom he wishes to vote. He
then folds up the voting paper, so as to leave the number on
ths back visible, and this number he must show to the pre-
Siding officer before he drops the paper into the ballot-box.
At the close of the poll, the presiding officer must seal up the
counterfoils (which bear, us we have seen, the number of the
voter, and a mar corresponding to the mark on his voting-
' paper, now in the ballot-box), and rend them to the Clerk
of the Crown in Chancery. Then th presiding officer
takes out the ballot papers, arranges them without looking
at their faces, seals them up, and transmits them to the
returning officer; whe, in turn, ascertains the number of
votes given for each candidate, by examining the voting
papers withouL looking at the backs. This having boon
accomplished he seals up the voting papers and transmits
them to the clerk of the Crown.

CONFLICT WITH ITALIAN INSURGENTS.
FLORENCE, May 17

AN ELOPEMENT STOPPED.

Charles Davis, a young man, 20 years of age, and Mrs.
Julia Bennett, wife of a draper residing in Neath, Gla-
morganshire, were apprehended in Liverpool yesterday as
they were about to elope to America, under the assumed
name of Anderson. Davis is married to Mrs. Bennett's
sister.

The Opinions toys:—" To prevent the diffusion of exag-
gerated reports of
.the occurrences at Filadoltia, ffluial
advices have been communicated to us announcing that the
number of the insurgents who were killed was eight. They
fired first on the troops, and a collision took place about 300
metres from Filadelfia.

During the night of the 15th inst. a band of twenty indi-
viduals assembled in the Jewish cemetery at Reggio, iu the
province of /Emilia, armed with rifles and bayonets, and
afterwards proceeded towards the mountains.
About one o'clock a in. this band, having. increased in
num er in its course, had a skirmish with the troops in the
neighbourhood of Rognolo, a place near the Castelnuove
mountains.

The troops dispersed the insurgents, and took three

prisoners.

THE VIVIAN DIVORCE CASE.

In the case of " Vivian v. Vivian and Waterford," it
was announced by counsel in the Divorce Court yesterday
morning that the Attorney-General had failed to discover
any ground for further intervention, and Lprd Penzance
accordingly said that the decree nisi for dissolution of
marriage obtained last year would be made absolute.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( 1)AY)

A remarkable case came on to-day before Master Gordon,
at the Common Pleas Judges' Chambers. The plaintiff's
attorney in the original action said the case had
been pending since 16 , and more than £2OO
had been spent over a -claim for £3O. The ap-
plication before the Master this day was to get a
sum of money out of court (the debt and cost) in the original
action. It appears that there had been proceed-
ings at common law, also in the Court of Bankruptcy; and

the defendant had filed a bill in the Court of
Chancery, which had been dismissed, and his soli-
citor said he intended to appeal, and had counsel's opinion
in his favour. The solicitor said that defendant in the
law proceedings (who was plaintiff in the Chancery suit) was
present, and could state that he int tided to appeal. The
plaintiff's attorney in the original action asked the Master
to make an order that the money be paid out. Such
an order was to abide tLe event the suit in Chan-
cery. Already upwards of £209 had been spent over
£3O, and the litigation sh uld cease. Master Gor-
don thought there should be no order until after
the 'second day of Term to see if an appeal to the Lord Chan-
cellor was prosecuted. The solicitor applying for the money
said be should appeal to the Judge. From the state of the
Chancery appeals, if the Master was right, it would lock up
the money fo • another year.

Miss Burdett Coutts as a Guardian.

Miss Burdett Coutts is not, it would seem, to be a
member of the Bethnal-Green Board of Guardians.
Such is the decision of the Poor, Law Board though
she was duly elected, beating the next candi-
date on the list by 108 votes. The clerk, however,
did not reckon her votes, considering her disqualified.
An appeal to the Poor Law Board has pro-
duced no permanent effect, for though the
Board refuses to acknowledge the election, it
is alarmed at the prospect of dealing with
a " woman's rights" question, and suggests that
the matter shall be carried into the Court of Queen's
Bench. This is a terrible prospect for the unoffend-
ing gentleman who, as next on the poll, has
stepped into Miss Coutts' place, since the
form of the action will probably be a demand upon
him to show cause why he acts as a guardian.
Certainly, if Miss Coutts' were confirmed in her tenure
of office, there would be one " guardian of the poor "
in Bethnal-green whose office was not a misnomer.
A London Alderman.

The select committee appointed to inquire into
the government and state of the London prisons
have within the last few days had a witness before
them,whose evidence revealed a condition of bigotry and
prej ud ice, which in any Englishman would be shameful,
but which in an" Aldermanof the city of London"
is positively appalling. This gentleman is one of
the authorities over the city gaols, and in that
capacity he has refused, and " would again
refuse," the admission of a priest to the
Catholic inmates on a Sunday. "We are,"
said the witness, " a Protestant country, and
such being the case, we object to the intrusion of the
Roman Catholics." On being reminded that eight
millions of the Queen's subjects were Roman
Catholics, the alderman replied That he did not care
how many there were." "We are," he added, still in
the Jefferson Brick mode of argument, " essentially
and virtually a Protestant community, and in the
city of London particularly." The Alderman admitted
on subsequent questioning, that he had been in
Ireland " where, indeed, the. Corporation had estates,"
and on being told that. Protestant clergymen in that
country are often nominated by Catholic guardians
to gaols and poor-houses, where there were only three
or even one Protestant inmate, answered that "he was
not surprised at anything that happened in Ireland,'
and such was his opinion of Irishmen and Liberal
Irish Catholics, that "he would be very sorry to
copy them in any way." The committee in
vain tried to put matters in a fair
way before this witness, who certainly appeared to

ing for Balmoral. Her Majesty will travel by way of
Oxford, Banbury, Leamington, Birmingham, to the
Bushbury Junction of the North-Western Railway, and
thence to Carlisle and on the Caledonian Railway to
Perth.

The weather in London was genial, a warm sun
being perceptible during the greater portion of the day.
A. strong breeze from the south-west still, however, con-
tinued. There was rain and mist and moderate southerly
winds on the western coasts generally, and in Ireland,
while at the eastern ports western breezes prevailed. A
heavy thunderstorm, with hail, occurred at Roche's Point
yesterday afteruoon, and hail has fallen at Aberdeen.
The sky is very cloudy in most places, and the sea has
become rough off the south of Ireland, and very high at
Aberdeen. There is every probability of more storm
along the north-west coast.
THE DERBY AND OAKS.—A writer of " Racine' Notes "
in the Pall Mall Gazette, says that the Great Northern
Handicap gives notice that the Derby is at hand. Not
that the Derby will be fraught with any great amount of
interest this year, for the nearer the day of its decision
approaches the less numerous does the field promise to be.
Macgregor and Sunshine may both run in Mr. Merry's
interest (they will be first and second according
to many of the reputed good judges). Camel
will be the representative of Joseph Dawson's stable ;
Prince of Wales from Danebury, Palmerston from
Fyfield—it is said that Bridgwater, who when sound has
excellent qualities, has fallen lame and cannot be pre-
pared in time—and Cymbal seem the only other runners
who can have the most remote chance, although some of
those whom Macgregor defeated in the Two Thou-
sand Guineas (Coutts, Nobleman, and Bonny Swell)
may help to swell what must be a very limited field.
The Oaks, too, promises to be equally poor in point of
quantity, though a contest between Hester and Sunshine,
the two daughters of Thormanby, and Pate, the child of
Macaroni, would recompense for want of numbers.
Beyond these three the only other fillies that can be found
likely to run at Epsom are Mahonia, Asterope, Gamos,
Bellone (a French filly, tho proportsy of Count de Lagrange,
who was only beaten by a head by Valois for the Poule
d'Essai a week ago), and Gertrude.

A Modern Tower of Babel.

If Cardinal Mezzofanti were alive and were on the
look out for a profession, he had certainly better
apply for the post of reporter to the Cana-
dian House of Commons. Indeed, if we
are to judge from a story told by the
Toronto Globe, it may be questioned whether any
meaner linguist is qualified for the task. A railway
bill was under discussion by the House, when Sir
George Cartier, the Minister of Militia, raised an
objection. A. Mr. Ferguson, not hearing distinctly
what was said, asked Sir George to repeat his obser-
vations, which ho did in French. Whereupon the
Hon. Sandfield Macdonald, for some unexplained
reason, addressed the amazed members
in
Gaelic. Sir G. Cartier was not to be
outdone, so in reply he, with the assist-
ance of a friend, pronounced a short speech in
Latin, and filially passed into Greek. His Greek
would not have availed him much in Attica, for the
words had no connection with each other,but a conclud-
ing quotation from Homer made it sound all right. A
protest against the desultory discussion was then
made in Spanish ! Had not the hour for private
bills come to an end, there is no saying where the
war of tongues would have ended.

COLLECTION OF TAXES.

Mr. BROGDEN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was his intention, in connection with the
proposed transfer of the collection of taxes from parochial
officers to the officers of the Inland Revenue, to make
arrangements for defraying the charges of collection out
of the monies voted by Parliament for that purpose, and
not, as heretofore, by means of advances out of the gross
revenue.

Mr. STANSFELD replied to the question of the hon.
member, and said the cost of collection would be charged
against the Parliamentary votes.
London, England, 1870-05-18

THE PUBLIC STATUES.

Lord CLAUD HAMILTON asked the First Commissioner
of Works whether his attention had been called to the
fact that the bases of the Statues in Waterloo Place,
Cockspur Street, and Charing Cross had been used by the
road contractors during the past fourteen months as depots
for stones and other rubbish.

Mr. AYRTON said the matter more particularly belonged
to the Home Office, but the vestries in which those statues
were situated had promised to remove the rubbish and
take care it was not allowed to accumulate for the
future.

Lord ELcHo thought some of the statues might be as
well carted away with the rubbish.
THE GREEK MURDERS.

Slr J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Under Secretery of State
for Foreign Affairs whether, as it appears from the
papers laid before the House, that the release of the
captives in Greece was opposed by a political party in
Athens, and as the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs had pressed on the Government of Greece the
urgent duty of tracing out this conspiracy, her Majesty's
Government did not consider that the presence of the
Mediterranean Fleet at the Piraeus would strengthen the
hands of the Greek authorities in pursuing an investiga-
tion involving many persons of high political and social
position at Athens.

Mr. OTwAY said that Her Majesty's Government had
required that the investigation into the circumstances
connected with the recent murders should be searching
and complete. The inquiry was being conducted with all
practical speed. As he had informed the House on a
previous occasion, Mr. Erskine would, during the inquiry,
have the benefit of the assistance of able counsel. The
Government did not think that at present there was any
necessity for the presence of the Mediterranean Fleet in
the Piraeus.
London, England, 1870-05-18

The Land Bill.

The wretched numbers that took part in the later
divisions on the Land Bill show clearlythat the House
of Commons has had quite enough of the measure.
When an important clause is decided by a division
of 114 to 27, the affair must indeed be considered
settled. The majority consisted of Liberals, the
minority for the most part of Conservatives. How
tired the latter party must be of the conflict, when only
about a score shew fight ! Of the 27 who formed the
minority,two or three were not Conservatives. In the
other division—that on Mr. Kavanagh's new clause
—the Government won by 192 to 120. This, too,
was a party division.
London, England, 1870-05-18

FUNERAL OF MR. VYNER.

The funeralof Mr. R. G. Vyner, one of the captives mas-
sacred by the Greek brigands, took place yesterday at
Granby, Lincolnshire. The funeral was of the most uno-
stentatious description. Exactly at 1 o'clock the funeral
startedfrom the Old Hall in the following order :—Mr. R. G.
Vyner (uncle of the deceased), with R. 0. Vyner, Mr Clare
Vyner, with Earl de Grey and Ripon ; Earl Cowper, with
Mr H. Cowper ; Lord Muncaster, with the Rev. W. Vyner.
Lady Mary Vyner, the mother of the deceased, followed in
the family carriage. L rd Muncaster was deeply impressed
and showed much emotion.

A telegram from Ripon stated that the inhabitants cl sed
their shops iu memory of the deceased. The blinds were
drawn down in the dwelling houses, and the Fine Arts
Exhibition was shut up. Ruffled peals were rung at the
Cathedral. The weather, seeming to befit the occasion, was
dull.

The Government have decided on issuing a special com-
mission for the trial of grave offences, especially of an
agrarian character, that have been recently committed in
the county of Meath.

FRANCE.

PARIS, May 17.
M. Eune, the editor of the Marseillaise, has been this
'lay sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine
°f 5,000 francs. M. Parbaret, the manager, to a year's
'lllPrisonment and a fine of 10,000 francs. The Marseillaise
Is suspended for two months.
The Senate met to-day, but there was nothing of special

Civil Interment.

In France there is a custom of givingivin what is
called " civil interment " to the bodiesr of persons
who in life may have expressed a wish to
have an inexpensive burial at the hands of their
friends. The vicar of Stratford-on-Avon wishes that
the practice were adopted more generally in England.
It is too hard, he argues, that poor families have to
give melancholy funeral brealifasts, to supply gloves,
and scarf bands and mutes, to have four horses
drawing a hearse, which could be easily
pulled along by two, to have senseless
trappings, ornamented coffins, and hideous
plumes. The rev, vicar proposes that Englishmen
hould imitate the example of the late Lord Derby,
and desire to have their bodies interred without
ostentation and nun ec tary-trnd-profoeud-exhibitions
of importance or extravagance. The rev, gentleman
also desires a reform in the services of the Church,
preferring hymns of hope and gratitude rather than
those of mourning and despair, and a consolatory
sermon to the friends, rather than a prosy panegyric
on the merits of the deceased, and a lengthened dis-
quisition on his loss.

The International Yacht Race.

The Daily News regrets the hitch 'in the arrange-
ment of the matches between the Sappho and
the Cambria. The points of the case, it says,
are clear enough. The American, being the
bigger craft, insisted ortrogrAepen sea-goingiroswe, iu
a strong breeze over a . certain distance. The
English vessel . being the smaller and nimbler
craft demanded a course dead to windward.
The former counted on her speed and power
in reaching, the latter on her weatherly
qualities. Evidently a course which could be laid on
a single tack would not suit the Cambria, while a
course requiring a succession of tacks would put the
Sappho at a disadvantage. When the two yachts
reached the starting-point, the umpires sig-
nalled a course round the west end of
Cherboure, Breakwater and back. The Cambria
demurred,' because this course was not dead to wind-
ward ; and the fact of the Sappho having subse-
quently sailed it on a single tack confirms the
Cambria's objection. A course dead to windward
might have been easily fixed, when the wind was
blowing steadily from one quarter. Without saying
the conditions were unreasonable, the Daily News
thinks there should be a certain liberality in their
in terpretation and observance.
The " Alexandra Lamp."

The French surgeons have begun to give serious
attention to a variety of diseases and malformations
arising from the fashion in vogue latterly of wearing
high and unequal heels to the shoes. They assert
that spinal maladies have to their knowledge fol-
lowed from the unnatural position in which the
body is thrown by high heels, while distor-
tions in the foot, and a variety of
painful nervous affections ensue from the strain
on the limbs produced by one boot being
higher than its fellow. It may be well
to • say here on scientific authority that ladies of
certain and uncertain age are alike liable to all the
maladies referred to, indeed, if there is a question
in the matter, it would appear that the more uncer-
tain the age the more certainly is the lady wearer
open to the ailments and disfigurations brought on
by anxiety for a dainty limp.

THE EPIDEMIC IN DEVONSHIRE.

A young man named Pepperell, a labourer, attended
the East Devon Races, and sometime afterwards his body
was found in the Axe. It was at first thought the man
had been drowned, but a post-mortem examination shewed
that death was caused by blows on the head. A man
named Harris, and a woman, were seen drinking in the
deceased's company on the night of the races. Harris
`had a large stick. The deceased left the inn first,
and Harris shortly afterwards followed in the same
direction. Next morning, at six o'clock, Harris was found
in a cowhouse by a farmer, to whom he said he had over-
slept himself, and went away. When arrested by the
police, Harris said he went home at two o'clock that
night. The deceased was the worse for liquor when he
left the inn. The woman has not been found, but no sus-
picion rests upon her, as she went in an opposite direc-
tion, when she left the inn. Harris accounts for a drop
of blood in his slop by saying that it was the blood of a
rabbit. He has, however, made contradictory statements,
and at the adjourned inquest on Tuesday a verdict of
wilful murder was returned against him. No motive for
the murder is suggested.

ARREST OF D'ARCY IRVINE.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Irvine drove into Enniskillen
with his son, carrying a revolver in one hand. A number
of revolvers and guns were deposited beside him. About
four o'clock he alighted at the White Hart Hotel, and
shortly afterwards Inspector Kirtland and a body of
police entered the hotel and arrested Mr. Irvine on a
warrant, signed by Captain Butler, resident magistrate,
charging him with assaulting a constable on the previous
evening, and firing a shot at his house in the main street.
A large crowd followed Mr. Irvine through the streets,
to whom he shouted, " Ireland will be free after this."
He added that he had sworn informations against' Cap-
tain Butler, and called upon a surgeon to declare that he
was ill. He was, however, conveyed to the county gaol, a
large crowd remaining outside the building for some time.

The funeral of the lamented Marquis of Chol.

The committee to inquire into the present state of
the Turf met on Saturday last, Admiral Rot's in the chair.
It was decided that as a preliminary step circulars should
be sent to all the principal trainers in England, with
queries respecting the time they would take up yearlings
if left to their own judgment, and at what time they would
run them as two-year-olds, without being (in their opinion)
detrimental to their future growth and racing prospects.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, IIIAY 18, 1870.

Southwards we have the Crystal Palace and
Gardens at Sydenham as the Londoner's summer
and winter scene of relaxation. Northwards we
have the chance of another popular luxury of a like
kind in the Alexandra Park and Palace on Muswell
Hill. The latter Palace is a sort of memorial,
raised partially out of the Exhibition building of
1862 at South Kensington—as the former Palace is
a kind of memento, in its way, of the first fairy struc-
ture in glass, built up by the genius of Sir JOSEPH
PAXTON, on the greensward of Hyde Park, as the
world's show for the first grand international exhi-
bition in 1851. Happily for us all, the Crystal
Palace is securely established upon its elevated
plateau at Sydenham, and will flourish there,
we may reasonably hope, for many subse-
quent generations As yet, we art) grieved to think
there is no such security for the preservation, and
maintenance for the:publi:-.. good, of the splendid park
on Muswell-hill, and of the magnificent structure
erected in the midst of it under the beloved name of

the Princess ALEXANDRA. Nearly seven years have
already elapsed since, on the 23d of July, 1863, this
noble property was purchased by a Company and
opened with a flower-show. During the four suc-
ceeding years, the work of constructing the Palace
proceeded with some tantalizing fluctuations being
pushed foiwardrapidlyinlB64,being suspended in 1865,
being recommenced in 1866, and at length, in 1867,
making an advance so fair as to give promis3 of its
ultimate completion. Nevertheless, at this moment,
the fate of the Alexandra Park and Palace
is trembling, we fear, very perillously in-
deed, in the balance. The chief champion of
the popular interest in its regard, thereupon, himself,
in this emergency, appealed frankly and directly to
the Lords of the Treasury with a view to discover
whether the national Government might not itself, of
course upon substantial security, advance the capital
requisite for the complete and absolute acquirement
of the property with a view to its being preserved be-

THE SAPPHO-CAMBRIA RACE.

Yesterday morning the yachts were turned out to the
Nab, whence they started about eight o'clock for the last,
the triangular, race. It commenced with a dead beat to
windward to St. Catherine's. When last seen from the
steamer following the Sappho was slightly ahead, but the
Cambria was rapidly overhauling her. A doubtful rumour
has since been received at Ryde that the latter was early
yesterday some miles ahead. Saturday's cup has been
awarded to the Sappho.
