AMEIZIOAN NOTES.

The mail steamer Cuba brings intelligence that a con-
ference was about to be held in Washington between the
Minister of Spain and the Ministers of Chili, Peru, and
other Powers, with a view to the settlement of the ques-
tions at issue between those nations. The meeting takes
place at the instigation of the United States Secretary of
State, the belligerent states having accepted the mediation
of the Washington Government.

SPORTING NOTES.—EarI Spencer, Lord Lieutenant
Ireland, accompanied by Captain Chaplin and Mr. Horace
Seymour, hunted with the Meath hounds on Friday.

THE EMPRESS EIIGENIE.—The Empress Eug6Lie
has returned to Chislehurst. She arrived in London at
four o'clock on Thursday morning by the usual night
train, which does not stop at Chislehurst station, and drove
to her residence in a fly. She arrived there at about
seven o'clock. The Empress and the Prince Imperial
attended Mass at the Roman Catholic church of Chisle-
hurst on Sunday. Both appeared to be in the enjoyment
of excellent health.

THE IRISH CHURCH CONVENTION.—The Church
Convention was dissolved on Friday. The Primate read
a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury requesting
that his best wishes should be communicated to the Con-
vention, and stating that in the beginning of next year,
when the Church entered on her new position, he would
confer with the Archbishop of York as to what steps
should be taken to aid the Irish Church. The debate on
Archdeacon Lee's resignation was resumed, and amend-
ments that his resignation be accepted without comment
were negatived. Dr. Reichel's motion protesting against
Dr. Lee's interpretation of the appointment of a Revision
Committee was cirried by 200 to 12.

A. HAPPY COACHMAN.—The Dublin Express nar-
rates the following extraordinary story :—" A young lady
of great personal attractions and immense wealth, whose
father is described as one of the richest merchants
in Liverpool, we are informed, arrived in Dublin on
Thursday, for the purpose of getting married to a
coachman in the service of a clergyman resident
in county Carlow. The bridegroom met the young
lady on the quay, and conducted her at once to St.
Thomas's Church, where they were duly married. It, is
stated that the young lady is mistress of the enormous sum
of three millions sterling. It need scarcely be added that
the marriage was a clandestine one. The bridegroom has
since gone back to his horses, and the lovely heiress left on
Friday morning for Liverpool. The marriage will no
doubt be divulged at the proper moment."

In the Court of Appeal yesterday the .extraordinary
case of Weston v. Weston was investigated by Lord
Justices James and Mellish. It was au appeal froth the
decision of the Master of the Rolls (Lord .Romilly) in
which a wife sought to enforce the payment to her of
£l,OOO per annum in conformity with a contract ,by the
husband under a separation deed under the following
remarkable circumstances :--The plaintiff was the
youngest daughter of Sir John Lethbridge, of
Sandhill Park, Somerset, and in December, 1857,
she was married to the defendant, Mr. W. H.
Parcel! Weston, who was a geutlman of large
fortune residing at Dorchester. No settlement was made
upon her prior to the marriage, but the defendant had
received 25,000 at various periods from her parents. Three
children were the result of the marriage, but in 1860
unhappy differences arose between the husband and Wife,,
in consequence of which a separation ultimately took
place, the defendant agreeing to allow his wife £l,OOO per
annum for her maintenance and the education of her child-
ren, that amount to be reduced to £9OO in the. event
of the elder child living with her father—an event
which soon afterwards took place. One of the provisions
of the deed which was then executed was that if at any
time the plaintiff should commit adultery, or the mar-
riage should be dissolved, or there should be a restitution
of conjugal right, it should be lawful for Mr. Weston to
revoke and annul the deed. The defendant paid, one
quarterly instalment only, and assigned as a reason
for discontinuing the payments that au_dmproper
intimacy, which was alleged to hake 'begun prior
to the separation, with a Mr. Andrew Quicke, was re-
sumed. The plaintiff emphatically denied the adultery,
but the!defendant produced a witnes named Eliza Lenlitte,
a woman of French extraction, who acted as Mrs.
Weston's lady's maid, and who deposed to acts from which
adultery. might be inferred, while Mrs. Weston
was on visits at Weymouth, Chippenham, and i\ ewton St.
Cyrus, in Devonshire, but Quicke's brother lived at the
latter place, and being there simultaneous with the
plaintiff, they were found, it was alleged, in a bedroom
together on one occasion. At Weymouth Mr. Quiche
stayed with an infirm aunt, who resided a few doors from
Mrs. Weston's lodgings in the Belvidere; and it was
asserted that he visited the plaintiff on several occasions
at night, remaining with her until two or three o'clock in
the morning. After the separation the plaintiff resided
at St. G-ermains and Boulogne-sur-Mer, in France,
where Mr. Quiche and his aunt soon followed her.
Their sleeping apartments were adjoining, having internal
communication by means of folding doors, and the maid
Lenlitte deposed to the discovery of numerous circum-
stances indicating adultery. They remained together at
Paris during two nights, and subsequently went
to Germany and Switzerland. Adultery was also asserted
to have been committed prior to the separation it being
alleged that Mr. Quiche was the -father of one of
the plaintiff's children. Mrs. Weston characterised those
statements as gross fabrications ; and stated that the
woman Lenlitte had committed corrupt perjury, that the
other servants had been tampered with, and that when
she was in France the defendant employed a man named
Pollaky to watch her movements. The Master of
the Rolls held that the burthen of proof rested
with the defendant, who had failed to establish
the charge of adultery ; and his Lordship
held that the woman Leulitte was not to be relied upon,
and that the defendant must pay all arrears and continue
the instalments of the annuity. This decision was now ap-
pealed from. The " Pollaky " correspondence was put
in as evidence, and excited great curiosity, Mr. Pollakybeing the proprietor of a private imiuify office at Pad-
dington-green, who undertook to obtam-evideuce of Mrs.
Weston's adultery for the defendant.
The case was unfinished at the rising of the court.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The armour-plated screw-ship, Lord Warden, Captain
Braudreth, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir Ii» H. Yelverton,
K.C.8., commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet,
left Spithead on Saturday afternoon for Lisbon, en route
to her station at Malta.

The experiments at the Plumstead Range, Royal Arse-
sal, Woolwich, with the small-bore Gatling mitrailleuse
which Government has decided to introduce into the British
service as a field gun and artillery arm, confirm the
decision which the Committee of Small Arms and the
Committee of Inventions have been gradually arriving
at in connection with the science of gunnery, viz., the
superiority of a small bore over one of larger calibre. All
the trials which have been made at Woolwich have already
established the theory that a small bore secures a low
trajectory., which is
_equivalent to long range and great
penetration. The Martini-Henry rifle, with its small
bore and low trajectory, was found to be a greatly superior
weapon for military purposes to those of larger calibre,
and the small-bore Gatling has been chosen and'
those of larger calibre rejected on the same principle, the
experiments being in favour of the Gatliug small bore,
with its longer range, lighter balls, and more deadly
effect at long distances. It has also the advantage of
being a light breech-loading field gun, and there is no
doubt the War Department incline to the breech-loading
system. It is also light and easily transported, can be fired
with great rapidity without escape of gas at the breech,
and has no recoil to affect the accuracy of aim.
Orders have been received at Chatham, directing vol-
unteering to be opened among the men of the Ist battalion
of the 19th regiment, now at that garrison, for the Ist
battalion of the 10th regiment, in Japan. Each volunteer
receives a sum of one guinea.
A court-martial has been held at Malta to try Lieu-
tenant J. S. Luckraff, of the Royal Oak, on a charge of
being off deck in his watch. The prisoner was found
guilty and sentenced to lose six months' time and to be
dismissed his ship.
- - -

The following officers have been appointed to do duty
with the Control Department as Acting-Assistant-Com-
missaries on probation :—Lieutenants C. F. Dixon, Royal
Artillery, 11. W. Maclear, 3rd Buffs, F. Morgan, 12th
Regiment, J. Marshman, 28th Regiment ' • and F. H.
Maturin, 70th Reament ; and Ensigns C. H. Santi,
61st Regiment ; R.A. Chermside, 88th Regiment ; and
E. P. Elliott, 102nd Fusiliers. Al these officers, with the
exception of Lieutenant Dixon, will serve their required
probationary term of twelve months attached to the Army
Service Corps ; and, should their services at the expiration
of their period of attachment be accepted by the Secretary
of State for War, they will be appointed permanently to
that branch of the department.
The new ironclad, the Invincible, was again tested on
Saturday at Keyham Dockyard, with a view to ascertain
the centre of gravity. It was found that with 300 tons of
ballast in her water compartments, and 60 tons of iron
ballast introduced on deck, she was 5i degrees out of the
perpendicular. This is a "slightly less heel than the
Captain had at her trial with 80 tons of iron ballast on
deck, but without water ballast in her compartments.
The Invincible when under steam without sails in very
moderate weather last week is stated to have rolled to 18
degrees.

While the master-at-arms was shewing a party of
American officers belonging to the United States frigato
Franklin over the armour-plated iron ship Vanguard, in
the Plymouth Sound a few days ago, several seamen
hissed him. This was thought to be an insult to the
Americans and their flag. A seaman named Gill, who
was thought to be one of the offenders, has just received
four dozen lashes for this alleged insubordination. Ho
denied having hissed.

Mr. S. R. Graves, M.P., and his two sons, who
have been on a tour through America, arrived at Liver-
pool on Saturday evening, in the Cuba.

Devonshire coast. The Collector of Customs at Barn-
staple reports having secured a large number of oil casks,
and upwards of a dozen have come to hand at Morthoe.
Along the Cornish coast, too, in the neighbourhood of
Hayle and St. Ives, further evidence beyond that already
reported in the Times has been forthcoming of serious
disasters on that part of the coast.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT A RIFLE RANGE.—At
Altcar, Liverpool, on Saturday, while a,party of the 64th
L.R.V. were practising, Sergeant Wheatley went some
distance in advance, as the day was foggy, to see the
effects of the shots, when, by some mishap, a stray ball
passed through his head, and he died on the spot.

THE SHERIFFS.—The nomination of sheriffs for
the various counties of England and Wales will take
place, on Saturday, the 12th inst., in the Court of
Exchequer, before the President of the Council, the Home
Secretary, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and her
Majesty's judges.
DISEASED FISH IN LONDON.—Mr. W. B. Towse,
clerk to the Metropolitan Fishmongers' Company, reports
that during last month the meters in the employ of that
body seized no less than 25 tons 8 cwt. of fish as unfit for
human food at the two metropolitan markets. Of this 24
tons 10 cwt. came from Billingsgate and 18 cwt. from the
Columbia Market, and it had all been brought to London
by rail. The fish numbered 142,886, and included 47
brills, 37 cod, 130 dabs, 400 gurnets, 6,438 haddacks, 2,257
halibut, 74,768 herrings, 731 lobsters, 3,945 plaice. 3 skate,
47,200 smelts, 1,166 soles, 874 thornbacks, 10 turbot, and
4,880 whiting. There were besides 36 bushels of cockles,
30 of mussels, 8 of periwinkles, and 2 of whelks, and 1;358
gallons of shrimps. The whole quantity was destroyed in
the usual manner.

SNIDER V. ENFIELD.— match between the 18th
Battalion and the Grenadier Guards and the 4th Surrey
Rifle Volunteers took place on Saturday at the rifle ranges,
Streatham, the Guards firing with the Snider and the
volunteers with the Enfield. The ranges were 200, 400,
and 500 yards, and the scores were as follow :—Grenadier
Guards, 396 (average 39'60) ; volunteers, 354 (average 39.33).
The Grenadiers were thus the winners by 42 points. Among
the highest scorers on the winning side were Colour-
Sergeants Corbett and Pennifold, 47 and 46 ; Quartermas•
ter-Sergeant Boulton, 44 ; and Colour-Sergeant Gibson,
40 ; and on the losing side Sergeants Short, Walker and

METROPOLITAN SCHOOL BOARD,

TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE DIVISION.

ELECTORS, . ..
At the request of Inhabitant Ratepayers of each of
he four Parishes, 1 submit myself as a Candidate for a seat at
he Metropolitan School Board.

I desire that every child in England be educated, and that the
education be as complete as may be consistent with the age at
which he must enter upon the business of life..

I cannot deem any education complete which does not include
religious subjects. 1 desire that the Bible be not only read but
taught : and am convinced that the Education Act may be
loyally and honestly carried out without any violation of the
rights of conscience.

I desire the preservation and [extension of ♦oluntary Schools,
and am certain that by co-operation with them the Ratepayers
may be spared many unnecessary burdens on the Rates. Schools
conducted by private teachers when " suitable and efficient "
will continue to render valuable services side by side with the
rate-built and voluntary Schools, and will complete our future
system. All three classes of .Bchools will benefit by friendly
competition.

The reform of Grammar Schools, and other endowed schools,
advances. I trust that the influence of the new School Boards
will be exerted in favour of free admissions to those Schools as
the reward of merit to Scholars in Elementary Schools.
A Sunday School Teacher in early days, I have never ceased to
take an active interest in Education ; and have had opportuni-
ties of bearing part in many schemes for the foundation or im-
provement of Elementary Schools.
As one of the Honorary Secretaries of the National Educction
Union, I have been called upon to watch the course of recent
discussions, and render such aid as was possible to the main-
tenance of religious education.
Having served for some years on the Council of one of the
Metropolitan Training Colleges, I have had occasion to acquire
practical information with reference to the training of Teachers.
`Valuable at all times as have been the services of Teachers,
their influence upon the working of the new system will in
great measure determine the success of the Act.

The lamentable condition of the Public Health arises, in my
judgment, from the entire neglect of all sanitary teaching in
schools. Having devoted myself for a considerable period to
the investigation of this subject as a member of the Royal Sani-
tary Commission, I feel the deepest interest, and trust that the
introduction into the schools of elementary instruction on the
physical laws of health may aid in creating a sound public
opinion, spare many lives, and avert much suffering and poverty.
The English nation should at least live in healthy homes.
I can devote to your service abundant leisure ; and if, in the
course of events, I return to parliamentary life, I trust that your
interests will not suffer from the opportunity thus afforded of
defending the Education Act against unwise attack, while advo-
cating every reform which experience may hereafter recom-
mend.

I shall hope to have Opportunities of appearing before you,
but the vast area of the Divisicn will render it a task of great
difficulty to reach all districts.
I am, your obedient Servant,
FRANCIS SHARP POWELL.
