Chancellor James's Chambers to-day an application was
made for summonses in reference to the proceed.
ings in bankruptcy which had been instituted in
consequence •of the decision of Lord Justice Giffard,
that his Grace was not exempted from the opera-
tion of the bankruptcy law by reason of Parliamentary
privilege. The application was ordered to stand over until
the sitting in Chambers of the Vice-Chancellor this week.
The Court has already intimated that it will afford every
facility for expediting the pending appeal to the House of
Lords.

James's Chambers this morning, in the case of the

litigation already considerably advanced, and which, unfor-
tunately for the policy and share holders, promises to be
most protracted, even for equity proceedings. The sum-
mons was granted, and the case will be one of the first tried
at Trinity Term, which will commence on Thursday.

Eton College.

It is to be hoped that the "Eton Boy" who
writes to the Times about the extra week's holiday
which has. been granted at the request of the Prince
of Wales, is not a very big boy. If he is, his
production is not flattering to the style of
reasoning or the good manners taught at ti e
great public school. The other day the
father of an Eton scholar complained that
though thirteen full weeks' holiday were allowed
in the course of a year, yet the Prince
of Wales had thought fit to ..ask for another
week this year, and the authorities had granted it.
Upon which complaint the Eton boy proceeds to
polish off the father. His letter is "utterly unworthy
of an English gentleman an -I a British subject.'
" I suppose his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales knew perfectly well what he was about in
asking for an extra week, and it was the duty of the
authorities of Eton to decide whether it was right or
not to accept it for the boys. In any case, Sir, I do
not think that such a person as your correspondent
should interfere or trouble himself about the extra
£2 he may be called upon to pay. I would rather
pay the £2 myself than hear the tutors and dames
of Eton libelled." As a specimen of Eton imperti-
nence, this remarkable production does the school
credit. The fact is that there is already far too
much play at Eton. The expenses are heavy,
the holidays are long, and the bo3s do no over-
powering amount of work when they attend. If
a complaint against thirteen weeks' holiday being
lengthened out to fourteen is not reasonable,
what is?

Development of Irish Industry.

Condensed milk, the making of which has hitherto
been confined to America and Switzerland, is now
manufactured in large quantities at Mallow, where
rich grazing grounds enable the cattle to supply a
peculiarly nutritive kind of milk. The great success
of the butter merchants in the south of Ireland,
tempted an enterprising gentleman, Mr. J. H.
Newnham, to try what could be done with
dairy produce in another direction. Mr. Newnham's
scheme has met with unexpected encouragement, and
he now employs permanently sixty pairs of
hands in condensing over 200,000 gallons of
milk, the quantity which he sends away annually
in tins to all parts of the world. In order to ensure
superiority and genuineness in his milk, Mr. Newn-
ham has it all tested before it leaves Mallow by the
Professor of Chymistry at Queen's College, Cork.
Getting up Evidence.

Our law reports are not yet free of the tedious
Wicklow peerage case, though its last appearanae
was not to settle the possession of a peerage, but the
fees of a solicitor's clerk ! Mr. Samuel Brown
sued Mr. Octavius O'Brien, by whom he was
formerly employed, to recover £42 48. for work per-
formed and services rendered. Mr. Brown, who en-
joyed a salary of 30s. a week, with scrivenery allow-
ance, was informed by Mr. O'Brien that the
Wicklow Peerage would be disputed,, and
that he would make something nand-
some out of the case. Mr. O'Brien was concerned
for the Earl of Wicklow. In 1869 Mr. Brown was
numbered among the fashionable arrivals of
the London season, and in 1870 he returned
faithfully to the metropolis, after a short
absence. In both cases he was paid a pound a
day, and in 1870 he was also to be paid for overwork.
His office included some diversion among its labour,
for he was engaged in getting up the evidence, and
he reckoned as part of his work taking the witnesses
to the seaside, so that no one should get at them.
The pleasures of these trips seem in the
minds of the jury to have almost entirely out-
weighed any other consideration, for they were cruel
enough, while recognising the plaintiff's claim to re-
duce his demand from £42 4s. to one tenth,
£4 Bs. 9d.

TAE MASSACRE IN GREECE.

Amongst the most recent (the tenth) batch of papers
printed in reference to the Greek tragedy is a diary kept
by Mr. Herbert from the 10th to the 20th of April. The
murders took place the following day. From the entries
each day it appears that the captives were generally
in a wet and miserable condition. There is also
a despatch from the Earl of Clarendon to Sir
H. Elliot, British ambassador at Constantino-
ple. He says :—" Among the despatches is one
in which the Earl of Clarendon, writing to Sir
H. Elliot, says—' As you will probably touch. at Athens
on your way from Brindisi to Constantinople, I think it
necessary to caution you, under existing circumstances,
not to allow your visit to be considered by the
Greek Government as one of compliment. The
state of affairs may very well account for your seeking
to confer with her Majesty's Minister. But if you should
come into communication during your stay in the Greek
capital with any of the Greek Ministers or other
influential persons, you will not hesitate to say that the
intelligence of the massacre of the party of British
subjects by the brigands near Oropos has been received
by the Queen, by her Government, and by the
British people with feelings of the greatest grief and
horror. These feelings you will not disguise from the
King, if you should be received by his Majesty; though
you'will at the same time make known to his Majesty
that her Majesty's Government fully appreciate the
kind sympathy which he has shewn on this melancholy
occasion, which, however, knowing well his amiable
character and his friendly feelings towards this coun-
try, they could not doubt would be felt by his Majesty."
Sir H. Elliot acting upon these instructions, paid a visit
to M. Valaority the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and also
to the King. Tie former repeatedly expressed his deter-
mination to leave no stone unturned in the discovery of
the instigators of .the massacres, and in the punishment
of those engaged in them. Mr. Erskine's latest despatch,
dated Athens May 12, announces . that intelligence was
being received almost daily of the capture or destruction
of notorious brigands, but that not the least trace of Takos
or his bandhad been discovered since the 23rd ult.

SIR JOHN SIMEON.

The intelligence has been received of the death of Sir
John Simeon, M.P. for the -Isle of Wight. Sir John -was
the eldest son of Sir R. G. Simeon (formerly member for
the Isle of Wight), and Was born in 1815, consequently
he was in his fifty-sixth year. He was educated
at Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated
M.A. in 1840. Sir John was first returned
for the Isle of Wight in 1847, when he beat Mr.
Fleming (Protectionist) by 103 votes. In May, 1851, he
retired from the representation on account of his ceasing
to be a member of the Church of England, but at the
general election of 1865, he again contested the seat,
and succeeded in defeating Sir Charles Locock by a
majority of 76. In November, 1868, Mr. Baillie Cochrane
was brought forward in opposition. Sir John, however,
was once more victorious, being returned over his Con-
servative opponent by 1,353 to 1,118. Sir John was the
only Roman Catholic member of the House of Comnions
returned for a constituency in England or Scotland. Sir
Aubrey de Vere, who was a convert to the Roman
Catholic faith, dedicated his poems to Sir John Simeon.

East Suffolk.

Lord Mahon has issued his address for East
Suffolk, and is now fairly in the field. He opposes
Mr. Gladstone's Administration. He considers that
the malt-tax presses with undue weight upon the
agricultural interest, and if returned he shall vote
for its total repeal. His lordship adds that an
alteration in the Game Laws to prevent the
over-preservation of ground game seems abso-
lutely necessary, and he shall carefully consider the
provisions of any bill introduced into Parliament on
the subject. While ready to allow the fullest religious
equality to all classes, he avows himself a devoted
son of the Established Church, and is strongly opposed
to any measure which may tend to its disestablish-
ment. On the education question Earl Mahon speaks
in general terms.

HER MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY .

This day her most gracious Majesty completes her fifty-
first year, having been born on the 24th May, 1819, at
Kensington Palace—in which birthplace, "in a palace in a
garden," eighteen years afterwards the young Princess
received very early one morning in the June of 1837 the
announcement of the death of her Uncle King WILLIAM IV.,
and of the consequent elevation to the throne of this vast
Empire. For three and thirty years, therefore, she has been
reigning over a loyal and happy people during that period,
vindicating her right to the glorious title of being, as she is,
the most constitutional of all our Sovereigns.

THE PRESS LAWS IN FRANCE.

The [Committee of the Corps Ldgislatif appointed to
inquire into the operation of the newspaper stamp duty
has presented its report. •It consists of five articles, the
first of which provides that from the Ist of January next
the stamp duty upon newspapers shall be abolished.
Article 2 makes it obligatory that the transmission
of all periodical publications beyond the locality
in which they are issued shad be through the Post-
office, and that the postal charge shall be two centimes
for 20 grammes weight, with proportionate increase of
charge for greater weight. The next article proposes to
diminish these charges by one-half for all newspapers
published in the departments, except that of the Seine,
and circulating in the department in which they are pub-
lished and the adjoining departments. No additional
postal charge is to be made on account of supplements
containing the official reports of the proceedings in the
Legislature. The report was received very coldly by the
Chamber, and it is regarded as very doubtful whether
any change in the actual regulation affecting the Press
will be adopted during the present session. In the slight
discussion which occurred on Wednesday, M. Fillancourt,
the reporter of the committee, alluded to a proposition
made by M. Emile 011ivier, which chewed that he was not
very friendly towards entire freedom of the press. The
Paris Journal explains this incident by stating that one of
the deputies, M. Haentjens, having strongly urged the
necessity for a total abolition of the newspaper stamp
duty, M. E. 011ivier replied to him, " This is a question
which must be regarded in a political as well as a financial
light, and I desire to select my own time for dealing with
it. It would certalnly not be azreeable to me to esta-
blish a Marseillaise in every department." In the mean-
time the discussion upon the Press laws goes on, but a
suspicion prevails that even if the Corps Legislatif should
adopt any decision upon the subject involving any modi-
fication of the existing restriction, the measure would be
effectually strangled in the Senate.

DEATH OF MR. MARK LEMON.

It is with deep regret we learn of the death of Mr. Mark
Lemon, whieh took place yesterday morning at his
country residence, at Crawley. Mr. Lemon has been out
of health for some weeks. and had been desired by his
medical advisers to abstain from business, but there
had been no anticipation of a fatal result,
and even on Sunday he wrote and dictated letters
one of which is said to have been an Invitation to a Wend
to visit him any day. Mr. Lemon was born in the neigh-
bourhood of Oxford-street, London, November 30, 1809,
and was therefore in his sixty-first year. He very early
devoted himself to the pursuit of literature, and began
as a writer for the stage, to which he
contributed nearly sixty light dramatic pieces,
which were, in their time, very popular.
through the recollection of most of them has passed away
now, besides writing for the stage, he was himself a most
accomplished amateur performer, and as a member of the
Guild of Literature and Art, constantly acted in aid of its
funds. Very many of our readers will no doubt
recollect the consummate humour and keen sly drollery
with which he, a short time ago, gave his readings
in the character of " Falstaff." In this impersonation, ,
he was accustomed to say that nature had fitted him for
the character—he was inimitable. Mr. Lemon was one
of the group of authors who with Douglas, Jerrold,
Thackerary, Mayhew, Gilbert Is Beckett, and the great
humourist, John Leech, decided on establishing
Punch in 1841. From the first he acted as joint editor of
our satirical contemporary, but on the secession of Mr.
Henry Mayhew he succeeded to the position of editor,
which he has since retained. Mr. Mark Lemon
used also at one time to be a constaut con-
tributor to Household Words, and he has written
many Christmas stories for the Illustrated London
News and other publications. He is the author
of the " Enchanted Doll," a fairy tale ; a
prose and verse collection of stories brought
together under the title of the " Christmas Hamper,"
" Legends of Number Nip," and " Wait for the End"
and "Loved at Last," two novels, each in three volumes.
Mark Lemon's "Jest Book" and numerous songs will also
be well remembered. The deceased writer was a man of a
genial temperament, and one who had the rare faculty of
at once perceiving literary abilities, and sincerely
trying to bring them forward. The idea of petty jealousy
never found a place in his mind, and he was only too
proud of the success of a young man whom he introduced
into the walks of literature. His death will be long and
sincerely lamented.
London, England, 1870-05-24

DR. LIVINGSTONE.

Yesterday morning the anniversary meeting of the
Royal Geographical Society was held in the theatre of the
Royal Institution, Albemarle-street, Sir Roderick Mur-
chison, Bart., President, in the chair. The report of the
council set forth that the income of the society during the
past year was £6,859 165., and the expenditure was £4,454
12s. id. Sir Roderick Murchison, in the course of his,
opening address, said that he grieved at being
unable to offer some encouraging sentences on the
prospect of speedily welcoming Dr. Livingstone home.
At the same time (he proceeded) there is no cause for
despondency as to his life and safety. He has been for
some time at Ujiji, on the Lake Tanganyika, whence he
wrote home on the 30th of May last, though unable to'
make any movement for want of carriers and supplies.
These were, indeed, forwarded to him by Dr. Kirk from.
Zanzibar, when an outbreak of cholera stopped and para-
lysed the relieving party. Recent intelligence, however,
has reached the Foreign Office to the effect that the pesti-
lence had subsided to so great an extent that we may presume
the communication between the coast and Ujiji has before
now been reopened. The work which still lies before
Livingstone has been often adverted to, and it is hoped
that he will live to advance to the north end of the Tan-
ganyika, and there ascertain if its waters flow into the
Albert Nyanza of Baker. If the junction should be
proved, we may indulge the thought that, in-
formed as Livingstone must now be of the actual car-
rying out of the great project of Sir Samuel Baker, he may
endeavour to meet his great contemporary. The progress
of the great Egyptian expedition of Baker having been
delayed in its outset, we know that it only left Khartoum
to ascend the White Nile in February. After reaching
Gondokoro, as was expected to be the case in the first
days of March, some time must necessarily
elapse in establishing a factory above the upper
rapids, and beyond the tributary Asua, where
the steam vessels are to be put together before they
are launched on the Nile water, on which they are to
pass to the great Lake Albert Nyanz. As soon, however,
as a steamer is on that lake, we may be assured that
Baker, with his well-known energy and promptitude, will
lose not a moment in the endeavour to reach its southern
end, in the expectation of there giving hand and help to
Livingstone.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Tms DAY.

THE CHARGE OF BURGLARY IN PERCY-STREET.—Frede-
rick Jackson, charged with breaking and entering the house
of Mr. John Holford, the Marquis of Granby Tavern, Percy-
street, Tottenham-court-road, was again brought before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-street Police-court. Mr.
Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection
Society, prosecuted, and Mr Breton (E. Lewis and Co.)
defended. The evidence showed that on Inspector Harnett,
of the E division, going to the prisoner's house he found
a clock and other articles stolen from the prosecutor, and
the prisoner accounted for their possession by stating that
he had purchased them, his wife dealing in such articles. Mr.
Child abandoned the charge of burglary, and charged
the prisoner with receiving the property with a guilty kn w-
ledge. In reply to Mr Breton, the police stated that the
articles were about the room, and that there was no conceal-
ment. Mr Breton contended that there was no guilty know-
ledge, and said the prisoner's wife was in the habit of deal-
ing in such articles, and that a few pence was given for
them. Mr Tyrwhitt thought it a case for a jury, but would
take bail for the prisoner. The prisoner was then com-
mitted for trial.

THE SAILOR AND HIS SILTER.—George Williams aged
29 years, a notorious thief, and described as a labourer, of
No. 5, Grove-street, Poplar, was charged at the Thames
Police-court, before Mr. Lushington, with stealing about
20s. in silver from the person of William Robinson, an old,
sun-dried mariner, who declared when he had taken the
oath that he should give up dear old England. He had
heard of people stealing the teeth out of other people's heads
and laughing at you when they had done it, but this was
ten times worse. He proceeded to state that he was in a
beer-shop, near the Sailors' Home, Poplar, on Friday last,
between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock, and saw the prisoner,
whom he had known, on and off, a good many years. The
prisoner said, "Bill, come here, and have a pot of beer." At
that time he had a quantity of silver in his right-hand
trousers pocket. The prisoner said, "Look at that girl, Bill,'
and he turned round to look at a rakish-looking craft, and
while he did so the prisoner abstracted all the silver out of
his pocket as clean as a whistle, and was off like a thunder-
bolt. He then informed the police. Now was not that
enough to give up Old England, to be robbed in that
manner. Thomas Norman, a detective of •he K division,
said he took the pri oner into custody, and he said he only
took 7s. from the presecutor and returned it to him again
The prisoner had been twice convicted of felony. The pri-
soner said he would not plead at all. He took 7s from his
friend Bill, and gave it to him back again. The Prosecutor
—No, you did not—there, I'll give up old England—good
bye. The prisoner was committed for trial,

THE MASSACRE IN GREECE.

Amongst the most recent (the tenth) batch of papers
printed in reference to the Greek tragedy is a diary kept
by Mr. Herbert from the 10th to the 20th of April. The
murders took place the following day. From the entries
each day it appears that the captives were generally
in a wet and miserable condition. There is also
a despatch from the Earl of Clarendon to Sir
H. Elliot, British ambassador at Constantino-
ple. He says :—" Among the despatches is one
in which the Earl- of Clarendon, writing to Sir
H. Elliot, says—f As- you will probably touch at Athens
on your way from Brindisi to Constantinople, I think it
necessary to caution you, under existing circumstances,
not to allow your visit to be considered by the
Greek Government as one of compliment. The
state of affairs may very well account for your seeking
to confer with her Majesty's Minister. But if you should
come into communication during your stay in the Greek
capital with any of the Greek Ministers or other
influential persons, you will not hesitate to say that the
intelligence of the massacre of the party of British
subjects by the brigands near Oropos has been received
by the Queen, by her Government, and by the
British people with feelings of. the greatest grief and
horror. These feelings you will not disguise from the
King, if you should be received by his Majesty; though
you will at the same time make known to his Majesty
that her Majesty's Government fully appreciate the
kind sympathy which he has shewn on this melancholy
occasion, which, however, knowing well his amiable
character and his friendly feelings towards this coun-
try, they could not, doubt would be felt by his Majesty."
Sir H. Elliot, acting upon these instructions, paid a visit
to M. Valaority, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and also
to the King. The former repeatedly expressed his deter.
mination to leave no stone unturned in the discovery of
the instigators of the massacres, and in the punishment
of those engaged in them. Mr. Erskine's latest despatch,
dated Athens, May 12, announces that intelligence was
being received almost daily of the capture or destruction
of notorious brigands, but that not the least trace of Takos
or his bandhad been discovered since the 23rd ult.

EAST SUFFOLK ELECTION

A numerously attended meeting of the supporters of
Viscount Mahon, eldest son of Earl Stanhope, and a
candidate in the Conservative interest for the repre-
sentation of East Suffolk, was held at the
London Tavern, yesterday afternoon. Sir Brook Middle-
ton was voted to the chair. Mr. A. Staveley
Hill, M.P., Mr. W. T., Charley, M.P., Mr. Morgan
Howard (late
_Conservative candidate for Lambeth),

were present with various members of the London Con-
servative Registration Association. Viscount Mahon was
proposed as an eligible candidate by Colonel Long, and
seconded by Mr. Kirkman, the resolution being carried
unanimously. A resolution appointing a London com-
mittee to co-operate with the local committee was also
carried.

Chloroform as an Anaasthetio.

It appears that Mr. Waldie, who gave Sir James
Simpson the hint about chloroform, which the latter
turned to such noble account, was a chemist and
bookseller at Linlithgow. It is related that
some chloroform in a saucer was accidentally placed
on the ground by the side of a dog which was pre-
sently discovered lying unconscious. After a time,
however, the animal moved his limbs, and gra-
dually regained consciousness. Mr. VValdie began to
think that he had made a discovery, and operated

on a number of cats with success. Thus confirmed
in his belief, at the suggestion of a friend, he called.
on Professor Simpson, who tried a number of experi-
ments, and proved, beyond all doubt, the virtues of
chloroform as an anaesthetic. Chloroform, it will be
remembered, was discovered by Soubeiran in 1831,
but it is owing to the intelligence of Mr. Waldie that
the inestimable boon conferred by Dr. Simpson on
society was not delayed.

The Sale of Livings.

" An Aggrieved Patron " writes to the Times to
complain of his wrongs with respect to the sale of
ivings. Last year he had an offer of
nearly £4,000 for a living in the North
of England, which he refused on account of the
extreme opinions of the applicant. Like Warren
Hastings, the patron evidently "stands amazed
at his own moderation," but he more than half re-
grets it. It he had accepted the offer, and been robbed
of the banknotes received for the presentation, it would
have been acknowledged that he was robbed. He
does not see , the difference between the material
pocket-picking of the thief and the legal robbery
sanctioned by the new law. The patron does not at
all appreciate the merits of the adage, " Virtue is its
own reward," and thinks if the nation, has a sudden
fit of scrupulosity, it should pay for it. He
has "very strong feelings," he tells us, on the respon-
sibility of a patron, but these .feelings have limits.
When they clash with pecuniary interests they col-
lapse, leaving nought behind but virtuous indignation
at "the confiscation of property hitherto considered as
secure and as saleable as Bank stock," and to be
bartered of course on the same principles.
Dissenters' Places of Worship.

An official return shews the total number of Dis-
senters' places of worship in England and Wales cer-
tified to the Registrar General. The Methodists are
divided as follows—Calvinistic and Welsh Calvanis-
tic, 756 ; Countess of Huntingdon's connection, 36
New Connection, 267 ; Primitive, 3,126 ; Wes-
leyan original connection, 5,750 ; Wesleyan
Methodist Association, and Wesleyan Reformers,
generally forming the United Methodist Free
Church, 897. This gives the whole Methodist body
a total of 10,898 places of worship. The remainder
are enumerated as follows :—Baptists 1,818, Bible
Christians 437, Friends or Quakers 372, Indepen-
dents or Congregationahsts,2,2s2; Jews, 20; Latter-day
