M Y HERO. By MRS. FORRESTER,
Author of " Fair Women," &c
This novel has many and exceptional merits, both of design
and execution, and is extremely creditable to the literary skill of
the author. It is a very readable story, the interest of which
scarcely ever flags."—Post.

THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD AND DR. BALL.

The authorities of Oxford University have intima-
ted, through the Chancellor, Lord Salisbury, to Dr.
Ball, M.P., their intention of conferring upon him
the degree of Doctor of Laws, in recognition of his
distinguished Parliamentary services. Last ses-
sion Dr. Ball was one of the principal
speakers in the House of Commons in opposing the
Irish Church Bill, and his fierce invectives against
the Government measure of last year, have been con-
tinued against the Land Bill this Session. Dr. Ball
is member for Dublin University.

LORD &HAGAN.

General satisfaction is felt in Ireland at the eleva-
tion of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland to the peer-
age. Since his lordship's promotion to the first
judicial position in Dublin, he has increased the
number and attachment of his personal friends, and
gained the confidence of political opponents, not only
by his impartial conduct in official life, but also by
his courteous and straightforward disposition towards
all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance.
Baron O'Hagan, who is a Roman Catholic, took a
large share in the preparation both of the Irish
Church Bill and the Land Bill, and it is probable
because his presence is especially desirable in the
Upper House in the approaching debates that the
honour has been conferred at this period. This will
be the first occasion in the history of Great Britain
and Ireland that an Irish Catholic Chancellor will
have a seat in the House of Peers. Baron O'Hagan
has selected as the barony which confers the title—
Tullahogue—the ancient residence of the once
renowned clan of the O'Hagans.

THE PRICE OF A GRAVE.

A curious tale is told of the large sums demanded
for the burial of a gentleman in Ickham churchyard.
Kent. The undertaker who went to open the
Brave where one of his children Was
already buried, was informed that he must
pay forty-five guineas for the privilege. After some
demur it was agreed to take half the sum proposed.
but the relations did not feel justified in spending e°
much. To add to the confusion of the affair, it is
stated that when the child was buried
the fees were disputed by the parents,
and that a settlement was not come to.
Whether the former claim was connected with the
extravagant charge for the second interment seems
doubtful, but in any case the story needs explana-
tion. Nothing can justify the demand for such an
extravagant sum for interment, and of all places t°
hold disputes it is surely the worst taste to select
the confines of the grave for bargains and bartering

A HINT TO THE AMERICANS.

The progress of modern engineering is shewn not only
in the magnitude of what it undertakes, but in the com-
parative ease and cheapness with which it accomplishes
results. Thus it has been lately found expedient to pro-
vide a new Thames tunnel. Perhaps if Brunel had never
constructed the famous passage between Rotherhithe and
Wapping, the new one between Tower-hill and Tooley-
street would not have been built with such rapidity, inex-
pensiveness, and freedom from accident. The old tunnel
was five times fillA>4 by irruptions from the river, was
eighteen years in course of construction, and cost more
than £600,000. The new one has never, it is said; been in-
vaded by water enough to fill a common pail ; has been
built in less than a year, and has cost less than £20,000.
After this, we surely ought soon to bear of the tunneling
of both the North and the East Rivers. Both lines of
communication are needed, and they can hardly be begun
too soon.—New York Times.

SINGULAR JEWE LLERY ROBBERY

Considerable uneasiness has during the past week or
so been caused among -the officials -at the Carlisle
Railway Station, by the mysterious disappearance of
two boxes of jewellery in course of transit from Bir-
mingham to Mr. Fritschler, jeweller, Carlisle, per the
London and North-Western Railway. One of the
boxes contained two valuable gold watches, and the
other fourteen gold rings. They came on different
days, and all that could be ascertained concerning
them was that they had arrived all right at Carlisle ;
that the way bills reached the parcel office in due
course ; and that the boxes must have been stolen in
course of removal from the railway van to the parcels
office. Three of the missing rings were found where
the thief had indiscriminately thrown them, and a
reward was offered by the police for information
concerning the remainder. The officials were quite
-at-a loss whom to suspect, and no clue as to the thief
was obtained until a lad, about thirteen years of age, a
message boy in the Station Telegraph Office, named
Norval, confessed, on being interrogated, that he was the
pilferer of both boxes. It appears that he had stolen the
boxes containing the watches first, and that after abstract-
ing one watch had burned the box. He, however, per-
sists in saying that there was only one watch in the
box, so the presumption is that he must have burned
the other watch along with the box. He had broken the
glass of the watch he appropriated ; had then taken it to
a watchmaker and paid a shilling for having it regulated
and a new glass put into it. Afterwards he hid it on the
railway bridge at the end of the station. As to the rings,
the young thief had appropriated one which fitted his finger,
and then thrown the other thirteen away. Eleven of them
are still unrecovered, as well as one gold watch. Other
felonious acts have been traced to the boy, who has been
at times sent from the station to the Central Post Office,
with telegrams and the money to pay for them. Instead
of taking the messages, he has destroyed them and ap-
propriated the money. He is now in the custody of the
police.—North British Mail.

FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

Among the sufferers by the fire at Constanti-
nople are many Maltese. The English Consul has
afforded assistance to numerous families who were
in great distress. More than £16,000 have been
subscribed for the relief of the sufferers by the Ex-
change Establishment and the bankers. In the
Italian Parliament the Minister of Foreign Affairs
stated, in reply to a question, that the Italian Go-
vernment would render all possible services to the
destitute. He said that 900 dead bodies had been
found at Constantinople since the fire.

ACTION FOR LIBEL BY A PHYSICIAN

The case of Edmunds v. Eyre was tried in the Court of
Common Pleas, before Mr. Justice Byles and a Middlesex
common jury, Mr. Sergeant Robinson appearing for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Parry for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a physician, residing in Fitzroy-square,
London, who was up to April last one of the guardians of
the poor for the parish of St. Pancras. During the
election of guardians, a placard was issued, containing an
extract from Will-o'-the- Wisp, which reflected in strong
terms upon plaintiff's conduct as a guardian. Among
other things it imputed that he opposed the guardians'
proposal for a new hospital out of spite and envy, and,
while professing anxiety to save the ratepayers from
taxation, he was only seeking to further his own ends. It
further alleged that he conspired with the medical officer
of the old hospital to discharge patients who were not
fit to leave the place in order that it might appear there
Were empty beds in the old hospital, and consequently
that there was no necessity for the new building. The
defendant is the landlord of the Lansdowne Arms Hotel,
Gloucester-road, and took an active part against the
election of Dr. Edmunds. He was said to have posted
the placards upon the pillars of his house, and
upon the shutters of a house opposite • but he
denied having done so, and stated that he had torn
down the placards. This' it was replied, was after he
knew he had been seen to post them. Serjeant Parry
ridiculed the idea of proceeding against anyone for ; a
mere election " squib," and asked why the paper in whieh
the libel originally appeared had not been proceeded
against. He also suggested that it was issued by the
Ratepayers Association. His lordship, in summing up,
said the placard was undoubtedly libellous, and left it to
the jury to say, by their verdict, whether the plaintiff had
published it by 'posting it as alleged. The jury found for
the defendant.

CHARLES DICKENS.

The best and most leraned critique, says the Telegraph,
which can be pronounced upon the labour of the brain
now reposing is this same instinctive, instant, and
real public sorrows, which proclaims his genius
without error, as tears testify to eloquence and
embraces translate affection. What could anydody
say about the character and influence of the
writings of Charles Dickens which would equal the
first simple words spoken in the home, the street, the
railway station, the field, the barrack, the prison, the
hospital, the workhouse, the palace, the public library,
the school room, as men and women yesterday exchanged
phrases of astonisment and lamentation? And the secret
of his power is written with his own hand, in the latest
lines which he gave us : it was Sympathy. His nature
found nothing common or unclean in aught which
was good enough for God to have created. He, more
than any writer of his time, was " dowered with
the hate of hate, the scorn of scorn ;" and in his latest
green-clad number—we are forced to say his last—he puts
into the mouth of Mr. Crisparkle what may be called the
very testament of his experience, as it is the explanation
of his renown. Says he, "The wisdom of love is the
highest wisdom ever known upon this earth ;" and the
last words of the last page read, indeed, strange and
solemn now ; they are, " Comes to an end—for the
time."

THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL.

The Nonfonformists of Cambridge held a meeting last
night, at which were present the leading members
of the various Nonconformist bodies in the town.
It was resolved to memorialise the Vice-President
of the Board of Education to withdraw all national sup-
port from denominational schools, and the meeting ex-
pressed the view that all new schools should be
undenominational, and that if the Bible was used in
schools there should be an ample conscience clause. The
meeting also formally expressed a hope that all lawful
means would be used to defeat the Government measure if
denominationalism was not given up, .and further stated
its regret that a Liberal administration should produce a
scheme that gratifies its most resolute opponents and
alienates those who have been its firmest supporters. A
year's delay in legislation, it was urged, would be pre-
ferable to the bill.
London, England, 1870-06-11

THE LAND BILL AND THE PEERS.

Very little or no anxiety is being felt .as to what
the Lords will do with the Land Bill. It is gene-
rally felt that they must accept it, notwithstanding
Mr. Gathorne Hardy's hint to the contrary,
It is also probable that they will not in-
sist upon any very substantial modi-
fications. Everything depends, however, upon the
temper of the Conservative party in the Upper
House, which at present has not decided upon its
policy. The usual meeting to consider what action
shall be taken, is announced for Tuesday next. The
Duke of Richmond has called upon his supporters to
meet him, that a determination may be arrived at
upon the course that should be pursued when the
second reading comes on for discussion, and amend-
ments of the Ministerial measure drawn up which
may command the united support of the party.

Ti oN contributed to the saving of 1,592 lives from various ship-
wrecks and 43 vessels from destruction. It has now 220 Lifeboat
Stations under its management. CONTRIBUTIONS for their
support will be thankfully received by Messrs. Willis and Co ,
Coutts and Co., Berries and Co., by all the London and country

SOLDIERS VERSUS CITIZENS.

We have not yet, it seems, heard the last of the
Pldbiscite, and the old vexed question of the civil
position of soldiers has been brought up in connec-
tion with it. It has been currently
reported in Paris that the military vote
was not altogether unbiassed by the influence
of the superior officers, and the address
of the colonel of the Gist Regiment openly
censured his men for having put the wrong ticket into
the ballot-boxes on the redoubtable Bth ofMay. It was
not to be expected that the Irreconcilables would
miss so favonrable an opportunity of attacking the
powers that be, and accordingly M. Jules Ferry,
a prominent Republican, cross-questioned the Minis-

try on the subject in the Chamber of Deputies. M.
011ivier attempted to get out of the difficulty by
declaring that it was not allowable to call into
question the sincerity of the vote. This did
not silence M. Ferry, who pointed out the irregu-
larity of requiring soldiers to vote in their barracks,
where it was evident their vote could not be so inde-
pendent, and demanded that the colonel referred to
above should be censured. This direct attack brought
the Minister of War to the rescue, who took up
arms in true military fashion. He would not, he said,
censure his officer, and the measures that had been
taken. would be persisted in. It is not perhaps sur-
prising that under these circumstances M, Ferry de,

dared the military vote to have been a mere form, or
that M. Gambetta, made a motion declaring the
terial explanation insufficient. However, the
Chamber passed to the: simple order of the day, reject-
ing NI. Gambetta's motion, and the subject dropped.
Perhaps the vote in the barracks is not the only one
which is a mere formality.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY BILL.

Mr. GILPIN moved the second reading of this bill.
Mr. G. GREGORY thought it was not an unfit oppoitu•
nitY of considering the state of the railway company, par-
ticularly with respect to fares and tolls. He admitted
that the railway was well worked, but he thought the
°°l3aPany should not have such enormous powers without
the House considering the bill. He should not oppose
the second reading, but he hoped that any committee to
Which the bill might be referred would have the attention
of the department of the Government to which such ques-
tions belonged.
Mr. GILPIN said that the bill contained no allusion to
the subject on which the hon. member had been speaking.
That was the first time he had heard of any intended or
Suggested opposition. During the progress of the bill in
another place, no petition had been received complaining of
the South Eastern Company's actual charges, nor had the
culnPany had any complaint made to them. The hon.
member went on to chew that the company were required
t° run by law 30 third class trains, whereas, they actually
run 524. He also spoke of the facilities afforded inrespect
of workmen's trains.
The bill was read a second time.
THE BOROUGH OF SLIGO.

Colonel FRENCH presented a petition against the pro-
Posed disfranchisement of the borough of Sligo.

FEES IN THE LAW COURTS.

Mr. WHITWELL asked the Secretary to the Treasury
'whether the attention of the Treasury had been drawn to
the fact that the fees received in the superior courts of
common law equal the expenditure less an amount of only
about 6 per cent. in the two years ending March 1869 and
870, While in the Court of Probate the expenditure ex-
ceeded the fees in 1869 by 276,373, or more than one-
third, and in 1870 by 255,008, or nearly one-third of the
wholeexpenditure; and i, the Government had any in-
tention of causing the scale of fees to be so altered as to
niake the probable amount of fees equal to the expen-
diture.
Mr. STANSFELD said the hon. gentleman took too
favourable a view of the fees received in the courts of
ecintnon law, as the salaries of the judges were not
included in them. The reason that the fees of the
Probate Court appeared so low was in consequence of the
large compensation that had to be paid to proctors and
others, and it was thought it would not be well now to
increase those fees.

THE STATE OF ITALY.

The political bands who are now infesting Italy
and attempting to kindle a spirit of mutiny among
the soldiers, are working grievous calamity to the
country. It is said that there is something in the
lake and mountain scenery of the Alps and Appen-
nines which gives a vagabond life an uncommon zest,
and the assertion is more than ever confirmed in the
present day. In Garibaldi's time of triumph the
Bourbon rule was brought to an end in
Italy, while he was the bearer of the Royal Standard,
not while he was a Republican. It was, moreover,
when the cry was "Italy for the Italians !" and not,
as now, " Italy for the Italian 'Republicans !" that
the struggles of the Italian rebels gained the little

sympathy from other countries they did. In this
day, however, no partiality whatever can be shewn
in favour of the plotters and law-breakers who con-
spire against the country in the name of Republicans.
Reviewing the recent acts of Joseph Nathan (a British
subject, by-the-bye) and his band of adventurers,
and the miserable attempts at revolution at Pavia,
Porlezzct, Riva, and Colico, the Times says that they
are fast tending to sow the seeds of common bri-
gandage over the kingdom. It considers that Italy
must aspire to agricultural progress if the nation is
to prosper and to be at peace. If, however, disorder
is allowed to prevail in the country places,
as at present, it cannot see how rural
labour is to flourish where there is no safety for
the isolated farmhouse, and where every dweller in a
lonely hut can only avoid being the brigand's victim
by becoming his accomplice . Many other
interests of the country besides the agricultural will
in this way seriously suffer if the Government does
not, once for all, employ the ample means for repres-
sion it has now at hand.

THE FRENCH BUDGET.

M. Chessuelong has presented his report on the
supplementary subsidies of the French Budget of
1868-9-70, in which he says that with prudent
management and perseverance they will soon, if
circumstances are favourable, place the budgets in a
satisfactory condition. A surplus of eight million
francs is Estimated in the Budget of I€7o, which is
very encouraging as matters at present stand. The
Bourse is firm.

THE QUARREL BETWEEN POR-

TUGAL AND ITALY.

There seems to be no doubt that an actual and
open difference has occurred between Portugal and
Italy, two nations whose dynasties are connected by
marriage, as their peoples are by sympathy. The
Marquis Aldoini, the Italian Minister at Lisbon is to
be recalled on leave, until the Portuguese Govern-
ment have given some explanations to the Italian
Cabinet. 'I his is not an unreasonable act if report
speaks truly, since the new Prime Minister of Portu-
gal, refused to receive the Marquis on hearing that
be did not approve of the pronunciamento which dis-
lodged the old Ministry.

ACTION FOR LIBEL BY A PHYSICIAN.

The case of Edmunds v. Eyre was tried in the Court of
Common Pleas, before Mr. Justice Byles and a Middlesex
common jury, Mr. Sergeant Robinson appearing for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Parry for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a physician, residing in Fitzroy-square,
London, who was up to April last one of the guardians of
the poor for the parish of St. Pancras. During the
election of guardians, a placard was issued, containing an
extract from Will-o'-the- Wisp, 4which reflected in strong
terms upon plaintiff's conduct as a guardian. Among
other things it imputed that he opposed the guardians'
proposal for a new hospital out of spite and envy, and,
while professing anxiety to save the ratepayers from
taxation, he was only seeking to further his own ends. It
further alleged that he conspired with the medical officer
of the old hospital to discharge patients who were not
fit to leave the place in order that it might appear there
were empty beds in the old hospital, and consequently
that there was no necessity for the new building. The
defendant is the landlord of the Lansdowne Arms Hotel,
Gloucester-road, and took an active part against the
election of Dr. Edmunds. He was said to have posted
the placards upon the pillars of his house, and
upon the shutters of a house opposite ; but he
denied having done so, and stated that he had torn
down the placards. This, it was replied, was after he
knew he had been seen to post them. Serjeant Parry
ridiculed the idea of proceeding against anyone for a
mere election " squib," and asked why the paper in which
the libel originally appeared had not been proceeded
against. He also suggested that it was issued by the
Ratepayers Association. His lordship, in summing up,
said the placard was undoubtedly libellous, and left it to
the jury to say, by their verdict, whether the plaintiff had
published it by posting it as alleged. The jury found for
the defendant.

A HINT TO THE AMERICANS.

The progress of modern engineering is shewn not only
in the magnitude of what it undertakes, but in the com-
parative ease and cheapness with which it accomplishes
results. Thus it has been lately found expedient to pro-
vide a new Thames tunnel. Perhaps if Brunel had never
constructed the famous passage between Rotherhithe and
Wapping, the new one between Tower-hill and Tooley-
street would not have been built with such rapidity, inex-
pensiveness, and freedom from accident. The old tunnel
was five times filtod by irruptions from the river, was
eighteen years in course of construction, and cost mere
than £600,000. The new one has never, it is said, been in-
vaded by water enough to fill a common pail ;' has been
built in less than a year, and has cost less than £20,000.
After this, we surely ought soon to hear of the tunneling
of both the North and the East Rivers. Both lines of
communication are needed, and they can hardly be begun
too soon.—New York Times.

THE DRUIDS AT SUNDERLAND.

The A.M.D. of Druids terminated their sittings at Sun-
derland yesterday. After a discussion of two days on the
proposal to alter the constitutional rules and centralize
the Board, it was resolved by 10,637 votes to 8,839 to ad-
here to the present constitution. Sheffield was elected as
the seat of th• Board of Management, and Bolton for
A.M.D. next year. Mr. Geo. Wood was elected Grand
Master, and Mr. Thomas Cooper Vice Grand Master.

THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL.

The Nonfonformists of Cambridge held a meeting last
night, at which were present the leading members
of the various Nonconformist bodies in the town.
It was resolved to memorialise the. Vice-President
of the Board of Education to withdraw all national sup-
port from denominational schools, and the meeting ex-
pressed the view that all new schools should be
undenominational, and that if the Bible was used in
schools there should be an ample conscience clause. The
meeting also formally expressed a hope that all lawful
means would be used to defeat the Government measure if
denominationalism was not given up, and further stated
its regret that a Liberal administration should produce a
scheme that gratifies its most resolute opponents and
alienates those who have been its firmest supporters a
year's delay in legislation, it was urged would be pre-
ferable to the bill

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING.
THE BRISTOL ELECTION.

The Times remarks that those earnest men who in the
face of a lax generation have insisted that bribery is a
crime and not a mere peccadillo may take heart from the
recent records of of Courts of Justice. There has been,
it is true, but one instance of a candidate found by the
judge to be guilty of personal bribery, and therefore inca-
pable of being re-elected within seven years ; but a suffi-
cient number have been unseated for the malpractices
or imprudence of their friends to make men careful
in choosing their agents and outhorrsing expenditure.
As regards ulterior proceedings, no unseated member has
been actually prosecuted to conviction, but one of them
has had a very narrow escape, and his story may be warn-
ing to those who are wavering in their resistance to the
rapacity of local jobbers. Others who have mixed them-
selves up with electoral corruption have been less fortu-
nate, and are now undergoing punishment for their
offences without any more pity than is excited by the
thought that the most guilty, those at the bottom of all the
iniquity for years, has escaped. All these things tend one
way, and it is certain that, even independently of any fresh
legislation, bribery and corruption have received a con-
siderable check. The decision of the Court of Common
Pleas on Thursday in the case of the Bristol petition deals
with a new form of the evil, and shows the law in its
prompt application to the last developments of election-
eering.

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

The Select Committee of the House of Commons ap-
pointed to inquire into the reason of the dis-
crepancy between the estimate and the actual
cost of the Abyssinian expedition, resumed
their sittings this afternoon, Mr. Candlish in the
chair.—Major Willoughby, an officer in the Commissariat
department of the Indian Government, stated that he was
sent to Egypt to purchase transport animals. He left
India on the 31st of August, 1867, and went on direct
Suez, where he arrived on the 27th of September. His
instructions to purchase animals were afterwards extended
to the purchase of stores and provisions, and letters
of instruction to that effect reached him frdm
the Secretary of the Government of Boml*,
from the Consul-General of Egypt, and subsequently
from the commander-in-chief himself. He made his head
quarters, Suez, and he admitted, that at Suez, there was
no market for the disposal of animals, or any merchants
who could undertake their supply. Moreover, that Suez
was 100 miles from the cultivated portion of Egypt, and
was in fact in the desert. At the same time the nature
of their duties compelled them to live at Suez, and
they knew very well the proper place from which
to draw the supplies. Cairo was the place to which 411
the produce of Upper Egypt came, and although most of
the accounts produced were those of merchants of Alex-
andria, it did not follow that the purchases were made in
Alexandria, or that the stores and animals were drawn
from thence. His duties were not only to pur-
chase, but to receive the animals on board the
ships at Suez. He stated that shortly after he
arrived he received a telegram from India asking the
rates at which purchases could be made, and after he had
forwarded them he received instructions, which he carried
out, to purchase at those rates. He did not purchase
animals till February, 1868 ; in October of that year he
purchased forage, including beans, barley, and straw, to
the extent of £26,000. The purchase was made of gr.
Fredericson, a commission agent, at Alexandria. The pur-
chase was not made by competition. He did not know that at
that time he was or professed to be an architect. He had
been employed by the Government in building a sana-
torium, but he thought it was not commenced till after-
wards. He had a guarantee to the extent of 10 per cent.
that the contract would be properly carried out. The
£26,000 was lodged in the bank. He did not think it ne-
cessary to make any inquiries into the antecedents of Mr.
Fredericson ; and looking at the matter now, he was
convinced that he could not have purchased those stores
at a cheaper rate than he did. After some further evi-
dence respecting the manner in which stores were pur-
chased, the committee adjourned.

IGNORANT EDITORS,

It' seems English editors are as ignorant of our internal
improvements as of our geography. They have canted ed
the solemn, not to say startling notion, that all our rcil-
roads are managed like the Erie, and that there are Fi:-:ks
and Goulds who "retain Judges of the Supreme Court,"
and carry municipal authorities in their breeches pockets,
in every railroad directory. Falling into the error of the
London Times, the Pall Mall Gazette speaks of the Northern
Pacific Railroad as starting from the head waters of Lake
Superior, " and terminating at Puget's Sound and Port-
land, Oregon—localities which inquisitive investors will
have some difficulty in discovering on ordinary map 3."
Evidently, if we are to study English maps ; but if the
editor will consult the Gazetteer he may learn that Port-
land was a city of 4,500 inhabitants away back in 18134,
and that it has a peculiarity observable in other Western
towns and Western States,. of doubling its population
every five years or so.—New York Tribune.
