QUEEN ISABELLA'S ABDICATION.

The full text of the manifesto of Queen Isabella
IL has now been published. The unfortunate suc-
cessor of Isabella the Catholic descends the Castilian
throne with at least the outward dignity be-
fitting her majestic race, though foreign
critics may be inclined to dispute her
possession of some of the queenly virtues
to which she lays claim. Her long reign has, she
affirms, been a troubled one, and it has been specially
sad to her, because, loving peace and the public
good, she has always seen her best wishes for
Spain checked and thwarted. The horrors of war
surrounded her cradle, the heated strife of parties
embittered hergirlhood, and in mature age she hasbeen
driven from her home and her country by the pas-
sions of men whom she would not oppose at the cost
of Spanish blood. She cannot accuse herself, during
these thirty-five years, of contributing to the national
evils by any deliberate intention, and she has mitigated
the misfortunes which she could not prevent, as
far as possible. A. constitutional Queen, she has re-
spected the laws. A Spanish woman, and a loving
mother, Spain's sons are all alike dear to her. During
the twenty months she has lived on foreign soil
she has not ceased to think of the suffer-
ings of Spain. Full of faith in its future,
she asks nothing for herself, but obeys the impulse
of her heart in confiding to the loyalty of the
Spaniards the destiny of a traditional dynasty and
the heir of a hundred kings. The act of abdication
follows, by which the crown is transferred to the
Queen's son as Alfonso XII., his mother preserving
all civil rights, and maintaining the custody of the
Prince until he is proclaimed King by the Govern-
ment and Cortes of Spain.

THE MAGAZINES FOR JULY.

BLACKWOOD is chiefly remarkable this month for its

giving the conclusion of its homely serial story of " John."
As a supplementary paper it has at its close a repriht of
the note appended to the second edition of the number of
Maga for June, anent that slashing review of " Lothair,"
now very generally attributed to Colonel Hamley, Edi-
tor of the " Art of War," and author of " Lady Lee's
Widowhood."

The Gentleman's contains to our mind the most charm-
ing, certainly the most tenderly appreciative, tribute that
has anywhere been offered as yet to the radiant genius of
Charles Dickens. It is contributed by Blanchard Jerrold,
and gives eloquent expression to the grief and love and

miration at this moment in the heart of so many.

Everyone to whom the memory Charles Dickens is dear—
and to whom is it not ?—should turn to this exquisite
memorial chapter in which the son of Douglas Jerrold
commemorates Douglas Jerrold's beloved friend and inti-
mate companion. The majority of those who read this •
paper in the Gentleman's Magazine will, we doubt not,
treasure it up afterwards as a remembrance. Elsewhere we
give some extracts from Blanchard Jerrold's own per-
sonal recollections of the great, good author, whose
chief glory in literature is that he is the first of all
Humourists.

The Cornhill, we grieve to say, closes this month what
has long been its chief attraction—the brilliant serial
story by Charles Reade, " Put Yourself in his Place."
It is a work worthy of the writer's genius, and
contains some of his finest creations, as also
some of his most splendidly realistic descriptions.
The flood at the end is magnificent. One of Mr. Millais'
noblest pictures in this year's Academy Exhibition, it now
turns out, is illustrative of an incident in this catas-
trophe.. The hero and heroine of Charles Reade's last

tale will long live in our remembrance.
Several other' magazines have already also come to
hand, among them Miss Braddon's Belgravia, Arthur
A'B eckett's Britannia, Colburn's United Serviee,
the Month, Le Follet, and London Society. The last-
mentioned closes with a copy of verses by Walter Thorn-
bury, entitled " Taking a Header," the closing words of
which have a wonderful comic effect.

FLOATING TELEGRAPH STATION.

When the first Atlantic telegraph failed, considerable
study was devoted by scientific men to the discovery of
means by which relief might be Ifforded to the
stretch of line which was to extend from the coast
of Ireland to Newfoundland. Among others who
directed their attention to the subject was Cap-
tain John Moody, late managing director of the Goole
Steam Shipping Company, who has been for many years
engaged in superintending the building of steam and sail-
ing vessels. The result of Captain Moody's application is
the productio i of a flat-bottomed boat or launch, now
lying in the Thames, off-Grays. This was inspected on
Tuesday by a party of scientific and nautical men. Ths
vessel is intended to be moored by four anchors at any
point where she can be useful either as a telegraph
station, as a place of refuge, or as a light-ship. She is built
of iron, something after the Minotaur fashion, and is pro-
vided with four water-tight chambers, which project in
star-fashion from the centre. This naval structure draws
but twelve inches of water, and her inventor claims for her
not only perfect seaworthiness, but a power of righting
herself superior even to that of the air-chambered lifeboats
of the National Institution. The vessel is, in effect, an
inhabitable buoy, and when securely moored would
serve the purposes of a light-ship. Captain
Moody would have one stationed some distance
west of Valentia Island, off the coast of Kerry;
another off Brest, and others east of the American
coast, to receive Atlantic cables, and to be the
means of transmitting early intelligence of and from ships
at sea. The present experimental vessel has a breadth
from ray to ray of 65 feet, and a circular hold of 12 feet
in depth. It would be quite practicable for a crew suffi-
cient to manage a light-ship to find comfortable quarters
on board, provided that the vessel is found to be perfectly
trustworthy when stationed at anchor in a heavy sea. On
this point Mr. Fox, Lloyd's agent at Southend,, has re-
ported that the vessel rode out a storm there in May,
without shipping a pint of water, at a time eighteen large
steamers were unable to proceed on their voyage on ac-
count of the gale. On Tuesday the ship was rigged fore
and aft, and in the short trip she made with a mere breath
of wind, on the reaches of the. Thames off Grays, she
1,78.8 found to act, not only as well as could be expected in
the case of a vessel which is intended to be stationary, but
to be possessed in no small degree of the sailing qualities
of a sea-going craft.

DEATH OF A MILLIONAIRE.

Intelligence from St. Petersburg announces the death
in that city of M. Bernadaki, the wealthy father-in-law of
Baron de Talleyrand-Perigord, formerly French ambas-
sador in Russia. He leaves about 30 millions of francs
obtained by farming from the Government the brandy
monopoly. In consequence of this origin, his daughter
was always received with coldness by the Russian aristo-
cracy.

MURDER OF A WIFE AND SUICIDE OF
THE MURDERER.

The Brussels journals contain accounts of a fresh crime
in the Rue de Brabant. An engraver and draughtsman
named Kips resided there with his wife and two children,
aged respectively three years and 20 months. On Tues-
day they were to have dined with the woman's father, but
as they did not arrive the sister-in-law went to the house
to ses what had detained them. The door of their bedroom
was locked, but as she could hear the cries of children
inside she had it forced open, and then found the father
and mother lying dead on the ground, the man with his
throat cut, and the woman with marks, on her neck,
showing that she had died from strangulation. The
husband had recently lost a considerable sum of
money, and has since given signs of a deranged intellect.
The fact of the door being locked inside shows that the
crime had not been committed by any strangers, and there
is little doubt that the man first murdered the woman and
then destroyed himself. The younger child was found
asleep, and the other crouched down in the greatest alarm
in a corner of the bed.

FRIGHTFUL LIFT ACCIDENT AT THE
JUNIOR CARLTON CLUB.

Last night a shocking accident occurred at the Junior
Carlton Club, Pall Mall, by whieh it is feared a man
named James Duck, aged 22 years, will lose his life. It
would appear that at half-past nine o'clock last night a
porter of the club named Jas. Duck was standing at the
coffee-room bar, and while there he amused himself by
looking down the well of the club lift. Suddenly the
lift was lowered from the top rooms of the
Clubhouse, and the bottom part of it struck the unfortu-
nate man on the head. He instantly fell forward and
was thrown into the well, and he fell into the basement
floor of the clubhouse, a distance of about 40 feet. When
picked up it was found that he was dreadfully injured,
and two doctors were sent for, who advised his instant
removal to King's College Hospital, where he was this
morning declared to be in a dying state. The unfortunate
sufferer has for a considerable length of time been in the
employment of the clubhouse.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN LEITH.

About five o'clock yesterday morning, a serious fire broke
out in George-street, near Leith fort, whereby two large
tenements of five storeys, each occupied by fourteen
families, were burnt to the ground. The fire
was first discovered on the third flat ; it soon reached to
the one above, and the floors and partitions giving way
brought down those below, and enveloped the building in
one mass of flame. The families barely escaped with their
lives, and very little furniture was saved. The damage to
property is estimated at upwards of £2,000.

THE ABDICATION OF QUEEN ISABELLA.
Telegrams from Madrid state that the news of the ab-
dication of Queen Isabella has produced no great effect.
Some of her partisans disapprove of the step. The
journals of the Government party say that the abdication
of the ex-Queen will in no wise interfere with the course

of affairs,

Slight disturbances have occurred at Barcelona, during

the instalments due will forfeit those already paid.

A very extensive and most alarming fire happened
at Oxford on Tuesday morning. The destruction

this, the occurrence has unhappily been attended
with fatal consequences. The conflagration broke out in
St. Aldgate-street, and in a very short time the premises
of Mr. Chaundy, Mr. Collis, and those of Messrs. Hall
and Ridley were completely consumed. Amongst the
ruins of Mr. Collis's premises two dead bodies have
since been found. The origin of the catastrophe is un-

TURF REFORM.

The committee of the Jockey Club appointed to
consider the subject of turf reform have submitted
their recommendations. A non-official summary of
them is given in the Sportsnzan. First, the committee
deal with the authority of the Club at the various
racing meetings; and in order to uphold this in all
its integrity, it is recommended that no notice be
taken of the programme or results of any gathering
where the rules of the Club are not recognised. Any
horse running at such a meeting is not to be allowed
to take part in a "regular " meeting. The
same disqualification will apply to jockeys. Having
vindicated the authority of the Club, the committee
take in hand the details of racing. They urge that
no plate or prize of less value than £5O shall be ad-
vertised in the calendar. The season is to be
shortened. No meeting shall commence before the
week which includes the 25th of March, or continue
beyond the week which includes the 15th of Novem-
ber. Then follows an alteration in the conditions of
selling races, and another touching the meetings of
the Club. Some other regulations as to assumed
names are added. But with respect to the really
essential points of turf reform, the recommendations
of the committee are not extensive. They make
no further alteration in the running of two-year-olds,
proposing to retain the first of May as the earliest
date for such contests. They are also of opinion that
no two-year-olds should be allowed to run in handi-
caps before the Ist of October, and then only with
horses of the same age. They have come to the
conclusion that the Club should not recognise
the publication of nominations before the weights,
and should decree that the acceptances for free handi-
caps, and declaration of forfeit for other handicaps,
should not be published earlier than the Thursday
immediately preceding the week in which the race
is run. Three-year-olds and horses of greater age
ought not to take part in races under five furlongs.
Finally, the committee recommend that the weight-
for-age scale should be revised by:another committee ;
and express their opinion that post entries ought to
be discontinued.

OUR COTEMPORARIES.—This Morning.

THE ABDICATION OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.

The Times considers that beyond the fact that another
Nominal Queen is joined to the band, already
sufficiently numerous, of dispossessed Sovereigns, the
abdication of Isabella in favour of the Prince of the
Asturias possesses no importance. The Emperor of the
French may consent to amuse the gossips who sur-
round Isabella's Court in the Champs Elysees with sug-
gestions of assistance, but nothing but the free will of the
Spanish people can bring back the house of Bourbon to
the Spanish Throne, and there is no systsm as yet of any
movement towards such an end. Queen Isabella may for
a time keep here son's claims foremost, just as the poor
Princess who died the other day asserted the pretensions
of her son,• the Duc de Bordeaux, but the progress of
nations is unfriendly to the claims of exiled Monarchs,
and their lives and deeds exact daily less and less interest,
until they are lost in entire obscurity.
London, England, 1870-06-30

SOCIAL SCIENCE.

The late meeting of the Western Social Science Asso-
ciation at Chicago was moderately successful, though the
attendarice was not large. The papers were on fresh
topics, and the proceedings were decorous, except when
the Al`Farland case was introduced—a case which led to
a lively discussion in the convention. The chief comba-
tants were the two Colliers—Robert Laird on the
M`Farland side, and Robert on the side of Richardson.
Quite sharp personalities were exchanged between these
two distinguished preachers. Goldwin Smith was the
star of the occasion, though his paper on "The Political
Crisis in England," was hardly up to the standard of his
productions. It seems somewhat unnecessary for a person
to argue, as Professor Smith did, that the sovereign of
Great Britain is now a " mere lay figure." He would not
exclude religion altogether from our form of government,
for he thought "atheism was inflicted with imperialism."
This is not unlike General Butler's argument that gold
and silver are the currency of despots.—Boston Advertiser.

CHESTERFIELD IN THE UPPER HOUSE.

Mr. Bright's famous letter about the Peers and the
Irish Land Bill—the letter in which he thought
their lordships " not very wise "—was considered a
remarkable production for a Cabinet Minister ; but
Lurd Malmesbury has had the satisfaction of return-
ing in full the compliments of the President of the
Board of Trade. On Tuesday the Peers dealt with
the portions of the Land Bill which provide for
loans to the tenants in order that they may purchase
their holdings. This part of the measure is noto-
riously the work of Mr. Bright. The Conserva-
tives allowed it to pass, and then the Earl
of Malmesbury set himself to abuse it.
It was the work of a single member of the
Cabinet, he said ; it had not a leg to stand on—mean-
ing possibly that the unfortunate member of the
Cabinet himself had not. It was a sham, a humbug,
it would not come to anything. The Govern-
ment knew very well that it would be impos-
sible to carry out such a scheme. Most
people will think that if Mr. Bright's
plan deserved all these hard names, it did not deserve
to become law, and that it was not the duty of the
Opposition to allow such a preposterous proposal
to safely pass. Happily the political capacity of
Lord Malmesbury is not so striking as to warrant
the placing of much faith in his dismal prophecies.

THE ABDICATION OF QUEEN ISABELLA.

Telegrams from Aladtid state that the news of the ab-
dication of Queen Isabella has produced no great effect.
Some of her partisans disapprove of the step. The
journals of the Government party say that the abdication
of the ex-Queen will in no wise interfere with the course
of affairs.

Mr. W. S. Blacklock, principal of the farm of publishers
of "Bradshaw's Timetable," which is printed in Man-
chester, died suddenly yesterday forenoon at his house near
Manchester, from apoplexy. Mr. Blacklock had just
returned with the wedding party from church, after the
marriage of his daughter. The deceased was a leader in
religious and charitable institutions connected with the
Church of England in the Manchester district.

THE ORLEANIST PRINCES.

It is stated that the Radical party in the Legislative
Body have decided not to take any part in the debate
upon the position of the Orleans prinCes, while MM.
Crevy, Jules Ferry, and Jules Favre reserve to them-
selves liberty of action according to the attitude that may
be taken up in the matter by the Government.

GREAT FIRE AT BEAUVAIS.
A great fire took place at Beauvais on Tuesday night,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Thus DAY.

The Speaker took the chair at five minutes to four
o'clock. The private business transacted was unimpor-
tant, and nothing of particular interest occurred until
the House proceeded to the orders of the day.
HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE BILL.

Mr. G. DENMAN gave notice that on the motion for
the second reading of this bill, he should move that it
would be inexpedient that any alteration should be made
in the constitution of the superior courts of law and
equity until Parliament had before it a statement of the
mode of procedure contemplated therewith.

LOSS OF A SCHOONER.

On Saturday the German schooner Louise, of Wismar,
from Shields, was lost on the Leman and Ower Sands.
The crew managed to escape in their boats, and succeeded
in reaching the Leman lightship, on board which they
were received. The schooner went down shortly of ter
they reached their refuge. The crew remained in the
lightship until Monday, when they were taken off by a
Yarmouth smack. They were subsequently landed and
taken to the Yarmouth Sailors' Home.

DEVON CENTRAL CHAMBER OF AGRI•
CULTURE.

At the Devon Central Chamber of Agriculture a dis-
cussion, which has extended over three sittings, on the
condition of the agricultural labourer, was concluded yes-
terday afternoon. Canon Girdlestone was present, and
replied on the whole discussion. A resolution was
unanimously adopted thanking Canon Girdlestone for his
generous efforts to improve the condition of the agricul-
tural labourer, but considers that while wages are pro-
perly an occupier or employer's question, the considera-
tion of the homestead or dwelling of the labourer is
mainly an owner's question. The discussion was gene-
rally favourable to the substitution of money for cider
as wages, and of giving labourers good cottages and gar-
den plots.

SYSTEMATIC ATTEMT AT EXTORTION.

At the Cambridge Borough Sessions this morning, before
Mr. Bulwer, recorder, a man named William Roberts,
was convicted of a systematic attempt to extort
grocery goods, to the amount of of Mr.
Whibley, of Cambridge. The prisoner went to
Mr. Whibley, saying that he had engaged a shop at
Gamlingay, in Bedfordshire, and had spent a deal of
money in shop fixtures, adding other plausible statements,
by which Mr. Whibley was induced to send goods to the
the' Gamlingay Station. Roberts went to London,
where goods were forwarded to him, and he took them
away in a car. In the meantime the prisoner had
written to a person at Gamlingay endeavouring
borrow £lO, enclosing two shares of the East Indian
Railway, dated 1847, as securities. Mr. Whibley learning
that the goods had been conveyed to London, communi-
cated with the police. Detective Kerbyshire persuaded
the person at Gamlingay to write a letter acceding to the
loan, and promising to pay it to prisoner in London.
This was done, and the prisoner was apprehended. It
was proved that others were concerned in the fraud.—
Sentenced to one year's imprisonment.

At a meeting of the apprentice boys of Derry held last
night, a resolution was passed strongly condemning the
Government Processions Bill. Ireland.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO A ROPE
DANCER.

Fraulein Laura, a tightrope dancer, nearly lost her
life on Tuesday. She was at ,a garden at Dundee on
Tuesday, and had just ascended to give her performance
on the high wire, when the supports at one end gave
way. With the greatest presence of mind, she ran to
the end of the rope to which were attached the falling
" cross-tree," so that she might save herself in her fall.
The ponderous "shear poles" came down with tremendous
force, and fortunately she fell between them. She was
not much hurt.

GREAT FIRE AT PANAMA.

The mail steamer Shannon, which has arrived off Ply-
mouth, brings tidings of a terrible fire which broke out
at Panama on the sth inst., and was still burning when
she left the port of Colon. The fire commenced in some
unoccupied rooms at the Aspinwall Hotel. The Bank of
Panama was burnt, and the Cathedral was in flames.
There was no engine in the city. One arrived from As-
pinwall, but too late to be of service. Several deaths had
occurred, and many persons were injured. Twelve per-
sons have been killed, and many are injured. Some
others are supposed to be buried under the ruins of As-
pinwall House.

MORE BRIGANDS EXECUTED.
Some Turkish soldiers near Janina have killed a brigand
chief named Chistolri and six of his followers.

THE WIMBLEDON MEETING.

The opening of the camp at Wimbledon is always
looked forward to by the volunteers with interest,
and the programme of the meeting is scanned with
as much care and subjected to as much criticism as
though the volunteer movement depended upon the
great rifle competition. True, it is one of the
features of that national organisation, which
was born of intense patriotism, and it affords
an opportunity for the various corps in the
kingdom to meet and try conclusions in a friendly
spirit; but that it is essential to the life of the
volunteer movement, is not the, prime consideration.
Beyond the relaxation, which is admittedly the
product of a not too severe training, we are dis-
posed to regard the social side of the question as one
of infinitely greater importance than mere success in
efficiency. The bringing together of a large body
of young men, belonging to the various grades that
constitute English society, was a difficult feat ; but
that the esprit de corps should have so welded them
together as to call into play those feelings of regard
and attachment which, when attainable, are the soul
of national stability, is a matter to be looked upon
with sincere gratulation. The Wimbledon
meeting is announced to begin on the 9th
of July, and, as usual, the prize-list is a long one.
The Queen's Cup is the most important, both for its
intrinsic value and for the honour which it confers
upon the winner. The Prince of Wales's Prize, the
Alexandra Prize, the St. George's Vase, and others,
the enumeration of which would occupy too much
space, will, no doubt, tend to cause much emulation.
There are various All Comers' Prizes, and should
our Belgian friends pay us a visit they will receive
as hearty a greeting as they did before.

THE BRIBERY CASE AT BRISTOL.

Yestoriay Mr. Robinson's friends held a meeting to con
eider the charge against Mr. Henry Naish, a leading
Bristol Liberal, of having subscribed money and given
information in support of the petition which unseated
Mr. Robinson. The meeting demanded the immediate
expulsion of Naish from the Liberal Association, and the
calling of an early meeting to consider the whole subject.
There are rumours stating that other supporters of Mr.
Hodgson at the test ballot acted like Mr. Naish. The
exposure of this affair has caused much excitement in
poiitical circles, and it no doubt had the effect of reducing
Mr. Hodgson's majority.

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN

NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,
AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD SPENDER.
PRICE 353.

"It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written
Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the
holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively
devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give
the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs,
industries, and institutions of the districts he is exploring. Fm
intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will
be-welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advanthgre of com-
pression, clearness of style, and easy manageablenegs of bulk."—
Daily Telegraph.
"The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap
and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting
matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be
useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to
those who stay at home. -Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a
most industrious and judicious'collector of facts, and an eloquent
and 'graphic writer, • and 'dos ample justice to his subjects."—
Yorkshire Post. _

"It deserved a welcome, this book we have so long uncon-
sciously been hi search Of. The itineraries themselves are to the
intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . Altogether
the book is one to carry hi one's knapsack or va.lise during the
happy time of
,our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on
our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant rernembrancer."
" Fjord, isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The
essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the
others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all
are written in a genial spirit."•,--Globe. .
" Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur-
poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information,
all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a
line of spacewasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery
bear witness to-the author's genuine love and appreciation of the
picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements
prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man-
chester Courier.

" From back to back ' Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter
interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well 'got up: "
Eastern Morning. News.

We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con-
gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially
is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall,
it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica-
tion to the general-public. . . . As to its literary merits we
need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient
guarantee on this point,"—Western ,Mail.
" The articles shew unusual power of ..observation, are full
of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- -
reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

SPECIAL JURIES.

The great .inconvenience occasioned to bankers,
merchants, and others engaged in mercantile pursuits
by the mode in which grand jurymen are chosen,
has long been regarded as a grievance, and though
the subject has frequently been brought before the
authorities, no reform has been attempted.
A gentleman complains that leaving out of
question the many summonses for special
juries received by him during the past
year, within the last ten days no less than
four documents of the same kind have been served
upon him either at his place of business or at his pri-
vate residence. According to the account given by
the gentleman the manner of selecting grand jurymen
isnot very complicated ; but it might be improved upon
in so far that those who either reside or are in business
in the immediate vicinity of the sheriff's office, should
not be asked to devote the greater part of their time
to considering bills of indictment.
