-PUBEfe -J-6WILVA LS,

The Times 'remarks that the highest order of English
nobility fills n 6, unworthy position the division-list
Friday night. Out of twenty dukes in the peerage of the
Un'ed Kingdom, not being of thou blcod royal; no less
than sixteen took part in the great struggle. Among
those absent were the Dukes of Hamilton and Newcastle,
both young men, both inheritors -of illustrious names,
and both the victims of the same .ruinous propensity
which has wrecked so many, noble families within
liviog memory. At the very , time when the whole
'country was awaiting the verdi-eC'of the Upper House
on an issue, as some thought of constitutional life
or death, and the most frivolous peers felt an un-
wonted thrill of patriotic responsibility, " the last of the
Duke of Newcastle's horses, comprising brood mares, stal-
lions, horses in training, and yearlings, were sold at
Clamber, in the presence of a large assemblage," not, as
we need hardly add, for his own benefit, but for that of
Mr. Padwi* and his other creditors. Never, probably,
since the treasures of StoWe and the historic accumula7
tions of centuries were put up W.:lin:tit-in, has the interior
of a ducal residence been turned so_ruthle,ssly inside out
for the satisfaction of vulgar curiosity,,.. Not • a keepsake
valuable only to its owner, not a crucifix or sacred
engraving, not a family picture or precious memento
of travel, except those relics which the provi-
dent care of the Duke's father or mother-in-law
may have designated as heirloems, would appear
to have been excepted from the -inventory. Not a
bedroom is closed against the-Inroads of that squalid
crowd of brokers and bargain-seekers-which seems to be
called into existence by auctions,.just as .birds of
_prey
flock to a carcass from invisible regions of the atmosphere.
Everything is pulled about and discussed with the coarse
familiarity which loves to have aristocratic grandeur at
its mercy, and the purse-proud cynicism which is willing
to pay a fancy price for a token of aristocratic humiliation.
For such infatuation there may be pity, but there can be
no excuse or reticence. The influeribe of aristocratic
spendthrifts would indeed-14Perniaiotts if It- Veil were to
be cast over the disgrace which generally overtakeS them,
and part of the amends which they. owe to society is to
serve as a warning to others.
The Star remarks that the inclement weather has raised
fears for the wheat crop ; which means, in other words,
that farmers and holders have taken the Opportunity to
ask higher prices for grain. Fortunately, the supply of
food is not now subject to any laws but those of nature
and trade ; the people are no longer taxed to keep the food
grown in other lands from their lips, in order that famine
prices may be maintained at home. When 'the market
in Mark-lane went up on Monday about three shillings per
quarter, the telegraph was at once put in operation to all
the great corn-growing districts of Europe, and supplies
were ordered which may help to keep down the price even.
while the merchant is properly and intelligently grasping
the profit which the rise hasalreadygiven him. It may be,
as the bad weather is said to be general over Europe,
that the price may go up abroad as well as here. The
grower in Bessarabia or East. - Prussia is as much
interested in the Mark-lane market as the farmers of
Norfolk or Essex. The Atlantic cable and the tele-
graph would takes the news West to the prairies, and
scud out the farmer of Illinois to calculate the probable
result of his crop with greater glee. We have even found
a new source of supply of late; -where we thought the
earth produced nothing but nuggets. California yields us
not only the gold which serves to represent our wealth,
but the corn without which man might perish while wal-
lowing miser-like in heaps of treasure. 'But if we have to
encounter an indifferent hr.rvest, the Budget of the
GoVernment has, at all events, swept away literally the
last shilling which stood between us and a perfectly free
importation of All has been done to ensure a steady
and plentiful vupply of food which the wisdom of man can
do, and if, after all, corn becomes dear, it is the result of
natural causes, and not of an artificial scarcity produced
by ignorance.

The Herald says that unauthentic being the compound
householder was again befere the Ilbuse of Commons on
Monday night. .Ministers have a. plan for restoring him
to his legitimate place in the Constitution. He would
never have been put out of it except for the amendments
of the Liberal party. But Mr. Gladstone now professes
that he always felt an affection for' this class, and looked
upon them as a corner-stone and sustaining pillar of the
realm. When, however, on Monday evening, Mr. Vernon
Harcourt moved that owners should pay rates where
occupiers were not certain forthree -mouths Mr. Goschen
and the Premier agreed in an angry protest. They
declared that the object was to destroy- electoral inde-
pendence. The President of the Poor-law Board
will have the compound householder back again, pure and
simple, even though he should 'proVel 'to be little better
or more substantial than a ghost.. Such courage must be
praised. Still, surveying the list pf. amendments, nomi-
nally aimed against the -pri: ciplearizif an 'Aiiih;sed Rates
Bill, but practically intended to held the Reform Act of
of 1367 intact, we deeply doubt the policy of Ministers in
endeavouring to force upon Parliani6lt at an ill-chosen
time a measure of reaction. They cannot pass their bill
in the course of the present session,. The experience of
lest Monday must have convinced them upon that point.

The Standard refers to the recent prosecutions against
betting-houses, and asks whether if is intended to forbid
beAing altogether. Is it the purpose of -the Executive to
suppress this species of gamblingi,as it supposes itself,
futilely enough, to have suppressed: lotteries? If so, then
the shutters ought to be put up at Tattersall's. If not, these

prosecutions seem to carry with them an appearance of
hypocrisy. Of one thing we may be sure—so long as
there are races so long will there be bets. Nearly
all the world encourages them. From the thou-
sand to one which ruins a duke to the pair of
gloves which pleases a lady, every sporting season
brings its million of wagers, and no legislation can inter-

fere with a habit so national. What is the meaning of
this sudden energy ? We are all aware of the evils which
exist ; of the dupes and worse who; arc brought to misery
or to crime by their foolish hazards ; of the destruction
wrought at the bidding of those veiled prophets who pre-
side over the Turf, and.who now strike down a coronet and
then lay low a banker's clerk ; of the fearful mischief done
to families by misguided persons leaving their steady and
sure pursuits in the bind idea of tnabang a fortune by a
venture; but how much of this can be prevented by
police intervention? For that is the actual question.
We are not blaming the authorities for acting under
the law; indeed, it would be lamentable if whole
nests of betting-offices were to spring up in special
neighbourhoods. All we would emphasise is, that these
prosecutions will not deter the .public from betting, or
from employing agents to invest their ventures for them.
Improve the morality, decrease the uncertainties, regu-
late the legislation, and satisfy the justice, so to speak, of
the Turf, and there will be less of reckless, and, therefore,
less of dishonourable gambling.
What shall be done to honour the name and the memory
of Michael Faraday? asks the Telegraph. The meeting
just held in the theatre of the Royal Institution was, in
itself, indeed a beautiful and noble tribute to the great
discoverer. There, in the building where he lived— around
the very table of green baize from which, time after time,
he announced new and glorious .triumphs of research--
were gathered almost all his old associates of science, with
the Heir-Apparent of England at their head, to consider
this question. The Prince occupied the actual spot in
which the good grey head, the bright, inspired
eyes, and the tenderly-wise smile of Faraday
used' to be seen while all around the royal chair-
man were men whose names are high upon the roll of
scientific renown, every one of them the personal friend of
the illustrious dead, and his fellow-worker on this or that
pathway of philosophy. - France, too, did homage to his
genius by sending as her representative the perpetual
secretary of her " Institut," M. Dumas, who pronounced
an eulogy upon Faraday's character and. labours, in which
earnest admiration for the devoted student of nature was _ _

linked with warm and just praises of the good and upright
man. Such a gathering—the-heartfelt obsequies-paid by
living intellect to the Newtonteof electrical anti magnetic
science, as modest as he wag frenowned,.; a man as gentle
as he was great and wise—has in it more real 'celebra-
tion than marble or bronze could ever express. The

proper monument to the memory, of Faraday would
be a Faraday institution, where young intel-
lects that chewed high capacity for scientific re-
search might receive, a thorough training, and that
early help upon the pathways of truth which the assis-
tant •of Davy so nearly missed. Perhaps there is private
gratitude and intelligence enough,among us to make the
memorial list surpass the intentions of its projectors suf-
ficiently to render practicable the idea of founding such
an institution. If not, there could be no educational grant
more sure to bear a rich harvest; while nothing would be
more worthy of the land honoured with Faraday's birth
and career, than that the contributions of private purses
towards a memorial so congenial to the man whom we
would commemorate should be swelled by a grant from
the national coffers. Thus would the pious duty of affec-
tionate friends be transformed into the solemn thanks
and tribute of a country elevated and enriched by him
whom the wisest and noblest in the land delight to
honour.

The Daily News thinks that it may be a question worth
considering by those who have the charge of such matters,
whether it is justifiable on grounds of humanity, or even
advisable as a matter of profit, to deprive sheep of their
natural covering in such weather as that which for some
weeks past has chilled and saddened our early summer?
The calendar may say that it is turned the middle of
June ; but our feelings tell us it is winter. Under
ordinary circumstances, the great agricultural festival
of shearing— about which poets and pastoral writers
have painted so many pleasant imaginary pictures—takes
place very properly in the present month ; but when the
temperabre is not much above freezing point (indeed,
there has been actual snow in the 'North, and that to no
slight amount), it is cruelty to expose sheep and lambs de-
fenceless to the piercing; wind. " Sheep clipped on Tues-
day," says a paragraph of news:from Yorkshire, "were
turned out into the rain and cold,Tto be found dead under
the lieges next morning ; and even on Thursday clipped
sheep wire to be seen huddled in the ditches for a little
shelter." Later intelligence from • the same county
says :—" Numerous other reports of starved sheep come
to hand ; one farmer has !ost thirty seven sheep by starva
tion. In the north the felLs are stated to be seven inches

deep in snow." One would think that in such weather a
reasonable and .humane farmer would no more think of

shearing his sheep and turning them out into the cold,
than he would of stripping his children and compelling
them to sleep naked in the -To pursue such a
course is to trust rather too literally to the often quoted
phrase; "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb."
It is following too closely. on the charity of the Bishop in
Pope, who, in considering the poor, "Admits, and leaves
Pr,v4lonce's care."
