of his colleagues in London whom he
could consult upon so difficult and delicate
a problem, and he therefore unhesitatingly accepted
the responsibility. The proposal did not originate
with Lord CLARENDON, or even, it appears, with Mr.
EI:RUNE, but with the Greek Government them-
selves, as a compromise or evasion of the difficulty
caused by their absurd and ill-timed punctilio. " Un
the day following the receipt of the telegram from
Mr. ERSKINE," said Lord CLARENDON, "the Greek
Minister called upon me, and officially made the
same request,,saying that the Greek Government
would shut their eyes to the conveyance from
Greece of these brigands, but that the amnesty
they insisted upon could not be granted, as it
would be contrary to the Constitution." See-
ing that the brother of one of these very
bandits was in the service of the ex7Minister
of War, and that the character and habits of the
band was in consequence well-known to the Athens
Government, no possible excuse can be made for their
vacillation, weakness, and rash perversity. It may,
indeed, be justly considered unworthy of a civilised
Government to make terms with brigands, but since
the brigands were strong enough to defy law, to dic-
tate terms, and to render official protection an
empty mockery, it was simply absurd to stand
upon punctilio. There was no question of
right or wrong in the matter. There might be such
a question in the open toleration of such hordes,
there might be in maintaining communications,
direct or indirect, between them awl political parties,
but when the captured foreigners were actually in
their power the Greek Government was not
called upon suddenly to assert the authority
it had so long refused to use. It had only
to keep its hands folded, as it had done
when the citizen of Athens or the peasant of the
neighbouring villages was robbed and murdered, it
had only to shut its eyes as it had done to a thousand
unnecessary and inexcusable infrac ions of the law,
and the friends of the captives would have done the
rest. England would have been spared what we may
term a great public sorrow, and Greece a national
disgrace.

FALL OF A TUNNEL ON THE METROPO-
LITAN RAILWAY.

An accident, unfortunately attended with loss of
life, occurred this morning on the new works of the
Me r.opolitan District Railway near the North-east
end of Blackfriars Bridge. The contractors having
engaged that the railway should be open for traffic by
the Ist May next the greatest activity was used.
A man named John Gardener was driving a horse
and cart laden with earth ; and stopping upon the
top of •the structure the " skew" arch gave way,
and fell into the excavated roadway below, burying
the 'man in the debris. Seven or eight men were
working beneath the arch, one of whom was killed
instantaneously, and the others were severely in-
jured. They were at once extricated and removed
to the hospital, where another of them has since died..
Large cro•.vds have congregated round the works
since the occurrence became known, and the greatest
excitement prevails.

MR. LOWE AND THE GUN TAX.

A gentleman at Birmingham who wanted to be able to
answer inquiries as to what would constitute using a gun
under the proposed new Act, and whether a man never
taking such gun on the highway, or in fact any where
except into his own garden, would exempt him, wrote
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and received,
from Mr. Rivers Wilson, a reply to this effect : "The
Chancellor of the Exechequer desires me to inform you
that it is proposed that a liability to licence shall attachto
any person carrying a gun outside his house. The persons
to whom you allude as being in the habit of shooting
sparrows in their gardens would incur the liability."

METROPOLITAN GOSSIP.-THURSDAY.

It is not necessary to go into the vexed question of
marriage with a deceased wife's sister in order to condemn
in strong language the retrospective portion of this Act.
Put out of sight altogether the subject of this discussion
and you will find that certain persons have systematically
disobeyed the law of the land, and having done so
have pertinaciously agitated for a repeal of it
which would condone their breach of the law. Everyone
is at liberty to use every lawful endeavour for the repeal
of a law which he thinks to be bad ; but no one is at
liberty to break it before it is repealed. It is greatly to
be regretted that Mr. Gladstone did not point this out,
and that he supported the second reading of the bill
solely and avowedly because there had been a certain
amount of agitation.
The Government proposal with respect to the new
newspaper postage meets with very little favour outside
Printing-house-square. In fact, it is simply a very hand-
some present made to the proprietors of the Times, the
effect of which will be to enable it to compete with the
lower-priced papers at a small sacrifice. Some time ago
there was a lively discussion among the proprietors of
that journal as to whether its selling price should
be reduced to 2d. All the proprietors except
Mr. Walter were for making the reduction, and insisted
upon carrying it out until they found that Mr. Walter
had legal power to prevent them. It is not impossible
that Mr. Walter knew of Mr. Lowe's intentions. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer was formerly Mr. Walter's
tutor. He then went to Australia, where he was cor-
respondent for his pupil's journal. This gave
him a position in the colony of which he made such
satisfactory use, that he was able to return to England
and enter Parliamentary life. At the same time he became
a leader-writer for the Times, and continued his connection
with that journal through the Reform agitation of 1866-8.
Determined that a Liberal Government should not exist
without him, he led the Adullamites, and, with the help
of the Times, turned out the Russell-Gladstone
administration, kept the Conservatives in office until they
had got the Reform question out of the way, and then
came back to power on his own terms. Thus it may be
said that he owes his present position, and, indeed, his
prosperity all through life, to Mr. Walter, and he has
shewn his gratitude in a way that no one could complain
of were it not that ' all other papers are placed
at a manifold disadvantage as compared with the Times.
The name of another ex-colonist has become prominent
during the last few days, and he, too, is interested in
.journalism. Mr. John Eldon Gorst, the successor (in a
modified degree) of Mr. Markham Spofforth, was some
years ago in New Zealand, and wrote a book thereon,
called ' • The Maori King." He was formerly an advanced
Radical, but of late years he has taken .up with Conser-
vative and High Church views. He represented Cam-
bridge in the Parliament of 1865-8, but lost, his election at
the end of that year. He is one of the proprietors of the
local Conservative journal in that town, a paper of con-
siderable circulation and influence. He is likely to do
well as went for the Conservative party at headonarters.
There will be plenty of claimants for the tour seats
taken from Bridgwater and Beverley. The Yorkshire
people think that they are inadequately represented,
although the number of their members is not far
short of that for the whole of Scotland. So it
is intended to put in a claim for Barnsley and Rotherham.
I have within the last few days had an opportunity of
discussing the Education question with one of the most
eminent of her Majesty's school inspectors, and was glad,
though by no means surprised, to find that his experience
fully carries out the opinion which I have always held,
that the " religious difficulty " has no real existence.
Speaking of a district in which the Non-
conformists are very numerous, he declared that
he found the Church day schools valued by the
leaders of dissenting Sunday schools because of the
thorough grounding in the Scripture which the children
had at the first. So much is this the case that in one
parish of 6,500 persons, where not even the odd 500 belong
to the Church of England, the day schools are all Church
schools, and are attended by the children of dissenting
parents without the smallest objection on the part of these
last.

Practice makes perfect. The art of preaching is one
that a bishop is usually able to acquire before he
obtains his mitre. The Bishop of Exeter, however,
having been master of a public school, had not gained
experience in addressing large audiences when he was
raised to the episcopate. At first, after his elevation,
his sermons used to be an hour long ; but they have
been rapidly decreasing in length, until they now take
about half that time. But the strange thing is that the
reports of his sermons occupy as much room in the news-
papers as they occupied at first. In other words, Dr.
Temple has learnt to speak just twice as fast as he did at
the commencement of his episcopal career. This would
seem to show that the length of a sermon depends quite
as much upon the delivery as upon the matter delivered.
Lord Auckland's death took place somewhat unex-
pectedly at the last. In fact the new Bishop of Bath and
Wells had just arranged to rent the Deanery for a year.
Of course Lord Arthur Hervey will not now require this
residence, as he will be able to take possession of the
palace at Wells which his predecessor had for the
remainder of his life. The flags were hoisted half-
mast high at Bath on the fact of Lord Auckland's
death being made known. Fortunately it was not publicly
announced until Tuesday evening, otherwise a grand
church ceremonial—the laying of the foundation-stone of
a new church at Bath—could hardly have come off. This
church is to be built by Mr. Gilbert Scott, and is to cost
£20,000. In digging for the foundation, the builders came
upon the old Roman highway, the Via Julia, thus adding
another to the many interesting Roman antiquities with
which the old Aquae Solis abounds.
• Some dissatisfaction has been caused among High
Churchmen by the conduct of the Bishop of London with
regard to the Bishopric of Madagascar. This is a new
Bishopric, and the Rev. Alfred Willis, vicar of New
Brompton was selected for the post. But it being repre-
sented to Dr. Jackson that the Bishop Designate was a.
decided High Churchman, the former advised the can-
celling of the nomination.
Letters from India speak of Lord Mayo's untiring
energy. He rode 200 miles in four days and thinks
nothing of riding 40 Miles before breakfast. He was
about to visit the Punjab at the time that my correspon-
dent wrote, and would have a warm reception in the
literal sense of the word. My correspondent speaks of a
visit paid to the sacred temple of the Sikhs at Amritsar. This,
the Golden Temple, as it is called, stands in the midst of
an immense tank, being connected with the land on only
one point by a marble terrace. All around the square are
the most picturesque buildings. My correspondent and
the party accompanying had to doff their shoes and
don slippers lest they should pollute the ground. They
were not allowed to hoist their umbrellas in spite
of the blazing hot sky. The dome is covered
with gold which glistens brightly in the sun. The interior
is curiously painted, and has a large mirror under
the centre of the dome. Close by the visitors noticed
a large white cloth, and on it squatted a priest, and near
him was the Sacred Book lying on a cushion. His chief
occupation seemed to be driving away the flies from the
Book, receiving the offerings of the worshippers,
giving them his blessing, and looking slyly
out of the corners of his eyes at the English
visitors. The white cloth was strewn with flowers
sweetmeats,. and small copper coins. On one side sat half
a dozen men, playing musical instruments, mostly of the
banjo kind, which they accompanied with their voices.
In the same city is a branch of the cashmere shawl manu-
factory, and there, contrary to all our ideas, the shawls
worked by the loom are considered much more valuable
than those worked by the hand. The latter are made in
the most filthy hovels l?y the most filthy workpeople.

The slaughter at the Royal Academy this year has been
something terrible. The complaints made in former years
as to the excessive number of portraits have led to the
rejection of many that might have been deemed safe
of admission, both hecause of their subjects, and of
their intrinsic merits. M. Desanges, who was
commissioned to go to Italy to paint Prince
Hmbert, the Princess Margaret, and their
child, the infant Duke of Naples, has had his
picture rejected. Mr. Hodges' head of the Princess
Claudine (sister of Prince Teck) has met with no better
fate. Mr. Theed, the sculptor of the statue of Lord Derby,
has declined to send this year in consequence of previ-
ous rejections. It is rumoured even that an exhibitioner
of 20 years' standing, the son of an R.A.., has this
year been among the excluded. Mr. Graves, the eminent
publisher of Pall Mall, has secured the portraits by M.
Desanges and Mr. Hodges for exhibition in his gallery,
and this is a compliment which may well compensate the
artists for any disappointment which they may feel. The
exhibition at the Water Colour Institute, which has been
opened this week, is a very fair one. Mr. Hine and Mr.
M`Kewan are particularly good. Mr. Corbould's picture
is an abortion,

Literary news is slack, and is likely to remain so for a
little time, as Mr. Disraeli's " Lothair" will absorb all the
money of the reading public for some weeks to come.
Theological readers may like to know that Messrs.
Clark have just added to their " Theological Library"
Tertullian's controversial works (excepting those against
Marcion and the Jews) which have been translated by
the Rev. Dr. Holmes, of Plymouth. The same gentleman
is now engaged on the anti-Pelagian treatises of St.
Augustine.—A new monthly magazine, called the Banner,
has just been started. The first number contains articles
and translations by the Rev. J. G. Wood, Mr. Charles
Mackeson, Mr. Baring Gould, Mr. Chatterton. Dix, and
other writers. There are sixteen pages of letterpress,
two illustrations, and all for one penny, really quite a
miracle of cheapness.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN

RAILWAY.

THURSDAY,
A special meeting of the proprietors was held to-day
at
the offices of the company, Waterloo Station, Mr. C•
Castleman in the chair, to take into consideration a b
introduced into Parliamentby the Barnstaple and Mil"
combe Railway Company, and also to receive or reject
the proposed arrangements recommended to be entered
into between the two companies. The arrangement
proposed the line to run out of the station
at Barnstaple to Ilfracombe, and formed at
the expense of the new company, and that
the South-Western Company should give the new
company out of its earnings east of Exeter a rebate (1
£2,000. In consideration of this rebate the South-Western
Company is to have the power of exercising running
powers over the new line on the usual terms, or to declares
its preference to work the line at 50 per cent.
the gross receipts. And, lastly, if the South'
Western Company should declare its option to use
running powers, the Ilfracombe Company to be at lihertY
to call on the South Western to work the line on the

terms mentioned. The Chairman put the resolution 1"
the meeting recommending the carrying out of the pro"
posed arrangements, which was seconded by Mr. Dalton
wid carried unanimously, and the business terminated.

The Edinburgh Town Council have adopted a re-
port on the subject of the annuity-tax, recommending the
council to concur in the proposal to pay over absolutely to
the clergy £56,500 in lieu of the present annual
A

by way of loan, the rate of 3d. per pound at present
leviable should be levied within the City of Cannongate
for ten years from May, 1870.

gram, is debating the Tariff Bill, and continues to reduce

and the publishers of newspapers especially in the r. 4.4

hope to find opportunity soon for repeating them 11' t

we shall speak of aphis only, and as that is the most 135
valent of plant pests, we trust these remarks NY"'
be useful to many readers. It appears, theFi:
that aphides quickly perish if immersed la

from various sources, plants infested with green fly, °'
cleansed them all by the simple process of dipping.
the experiments were made in the month of Februsw
we thought it probable that aphis might endure in
c
a temperature many degrees higher than that whir
proved fatal to them in the earlier and colder seas°l
Hence it became desirable to ascertain the degree of 11°
the plants could endure in the dipping process. .14;
number of herbaceous and soft-wooded plants were
therefore subjected to the process of immersion 111
water,heated to various degrees above 120. We foie
that fuchsias were unharmed at 140 deg, but at 150 deg'
the young leaves were slightly injured. Calceolario
suffered at 140 deg., but the plants were not killed,
though their soft tops perished. Pelargoniums were
hurt up to 150 deg., but the slightest rise beyond thaw
figure killed the soft wood and the young leaves COrn*
pletely. Chinese primulas were injured by ania
rise beyond 140 deg., and this at last prove
to be the most general maximum, and may
be cited as a rule for observance. Centauresso
sedums, saxifrages, thyrsacanthus, justicias, ferns,
trcpes, petunias, begonias, mignonette, and many other
plants of soft texture, were unhurt by being dipped
water at 140 deg., but the slightest rise beyond that poin
was followed by a blackening of the leaves and cones'
quent disfigurement of the plant, and at 150 deg. the pro'
cess of killing commenced.—The Gardener's Magazine.
AN INCIDENT OF THE CHASE. Quite II

however, instead of cowing, enraged the brute and mad

and pluckiest of the lot, was, after a little encouragenle,
induced to face the foe. The tiger came on so raploitiJ;
that, before Mr. Morris wrs ready to fire again,
brute had time to make a tremendous sPr'_,o

a heavy hunting-knife, and almost severed the tiger's
