LIFEBOAT SERVICES.--il the Storms
of the year 1868, the National Lifeboat Institution
contributed tc, the saving of 862 lives from various ship-
wrecks and 25 vessels from destruction. The Institution
also expended £20,433 in the same period on its Lifeboat
Establishments, in addition to granting 42,431 for re-
wards.
The Committee of the Institution earnestly appeal to the
public for assistanceto enable them to meet the continued
heavy demands on their 198 Lifeboat Establishments.
Contributions will be thankfully received by the London
and country- bankers, and by the Secretary, Richard Lewis,
Esq., at the institution. 14, John-street Adelphi, London.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

l'he Vienna correspondent of the Cologne Gazette adils
his testimony to the report that the chief object of U.
Egyptian Viceroy's perambulation over Europe is t
secure the neutrality of the Suez Canal. On Mond
says this writer, a long conference took place on this si.
ject between :Yuba r Packs. and Count Beust. The Austria
Chancellor undertook to do all in his power to carry ol
the Viceroy's view. He even promised to address :•
circular to Austrian Ambassadors, instructing them t•
take measures for an understanding amongst the Poll er.
as to the neutrality of the canal.

ROYAL VISITORS TO EGYPT.
The Memorial Diplomatique assures us that the assem-
blage of illustrious personages at the opening of the Sucz
Canal will be remarkably brilliant. The Empress of the
French will certainly be there, the Emperor of Austria
most probably. The King of Italy has been invited, but
excuses himself on the plea that the state of Italy is too
serious to permit of his absence. Ile will, however, be
represented by his eldest son. The Prince of \Vales has
unquestionably given Ismail Pasha a promise to be in
Egypt at the time of the ceremony. His Royal High-
ness will probably be accompanied by his brother, Prince
Arthur.

MARL BOROUG 11-STREET,

QCESTIJNABLE IDENTM.—The London Gem:ral Cstuni-
bus Colupiny were sumaionA by the chief constable of
the It .yal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aui-
' mals for working a la no horse iu Keppel-street on Sun-
day, the 'Ali Ap il. A complaint had been made to the
secretary of the society. A vettainary surgcon went on
the folowing day with the witno,s to the stables to exa-
- mine tile horse, which upon application was produced, aLd
immediately identified and reported unfit for work The
case was conducted by the chief covetable, and defended
be 31 r. Beard. The defence set up was that the horse pro-
duced teas n ft the animal comp!ained of, upon which the
magistrate iewarked that there u he two unfit for work,
aed aske 1 the foNman if he wag wilkug to pro ince the two
fur the veterinary surgeon's examination, and if he un-
do' took Lot to work them any tuo,-0 ; iu that c:ts) ho
e•ould only fine them iu the cots of the two summonses,
which suggoction was consented to, and the costs paid. In
the course of the examination the foreman stated that iu
future the company would not allow any of the sock t)'s
officers to enter their premises to examine their horses,
upon which the magistrate remarked that such a course
on the part of the company would be very injudicious,
as it would entail on the officers the neca,sity in future
of stopping their horses in the public streets, and charg-
ing the diver at the nearest police-station, and putting
the horse iu the greenyard.

DENMARK AND THE UNITED STATE&

The Danes are justly offended at the conduct of the
Americans touching the purchase of St. Thomas, the
Danish West India island. The agreement for the
sale of their possession was concluded at the
pressing instance of Mr. Seward himself. But though
the treaty has been signed, it has never been sanctioned
by the Senate, and the price has not been paid. At a
banquet recently held in the Danish capital, the author of
the treaty, General Raasloff, expressed the belief that the
bargain would soon be ratified ; but an American paper
holds a different opinion. It says that the President
and his Cabinet give no thought to the treaty. It was
the work of other hands, and must be left solely
to the Senate. As this body does not meet until
December, the prospect of an early settlement is not
very encouraging. The negotiation reflects no credit on
American diplomacy.

The-directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital fuuds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

The Belgians are to be congratulated on the birth of ft
son to the Count and Countess of Flanders. This pre-
serves the succession to the Crown, though not in direct
line, for the Count of Flanders is brother to the King,
and is but his presumptive successor. The Queen of,

FALLING roarticzs OF QUEEN ISABELLA.

The announcement that Queen Isabella is about to
change her residence, is published simultaneously with
statements which go to chew that her cause is, if possible,
becoming more hopeless than ever. The Monde says that
one of her firmest and bravest supporters has gone over to
Don Carlos. The Count de Cheste despairs of restoration.
Whilst at Bayonne, he said that the cause of Isabella was
irretrievably compromised ; that her Majesty persisted ira
the old courses which bad caused her fall ; and that for
his part be felt himself so discouraged that he should have
joined Don Carlos, if former engagements and the senti..
meats of respect and fidelity which misfortune inspire had,
not attached him to the deposed Queen.

LONDON, B.I7'UItDAY, JUNE 5, 1869.

Mr. SUMNER'S notorious harangue was twice detig-
nated last evening in the House of Lords, by Vis-
count STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, "a most extravagant
and absurd speech "—a title which it certainly most
richly deserved. It was an address worthy of having
been delivered by BOBADIL, and will long be remem •
tiered ar. a specimen of "high fidatin." Reference,
of course, was made to it yesterday by the noble lord,
whom Mr. KINGLAKE loves to call the Great Eltchi,
quite incidentally. Otherwise than incidentally and
contemptuously, indeed, an escapade so preposterous
ought no longer to be named within the walls of Par-
li.tment. It marks an incident which has, happily,
now, no serious aptl:c.ttion. It was a speech de-
livered, we must believe, in a motuent of hallucina-
tion. It has long since come to be regarded
on both sides of the Atlantic as an outburst of malig-
nity that ought never to have been indulged in.
The United States and the United Kingdom under-
stand each other 1. etter than to allow themselves to

mulEnlEs OF FOUFION BONDHOLDERS.

The Anglo-Austrian bondholders have held a
meeting to protest against their treatment by the
Austrian Government. The statement of Count
I3enst, that the creditors might have disposed of their
Austrian paper to advantage if they chose, was
received with derision. It was held that no Govern-
ment has the right to alter the conditions of a con-
tract made with a foreign creditor, and that if a
Government be unable to meet its engagements it
mttrt come to a mutual arrangement with its credi-
tors, and provide a future indemnification. The
injury done to these Austrian bondholders consists
in transforming their bonds into others, of less
value.

THE REPRESENTATION OF STAFFORD.—At a great
meeting of Liberal electors held last night, Professor
Fawcett, 341. P., advocated the claims of Mr. Odger as a.,
candidate for Stafford. Ho said that no one could repre-

ability and faithfulness. He added that if Mr. Odger were

the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and •will

THE SALE OF LAND.

Sir George Bowyer read a paper which created some
stiratthe last meeting of the Juridical Society. Ile con-
tended for the total abolition of the law of primogeni-
ture, denounced trustees in the case of property as use-
less, and propounded a scheme whereby land could be
sold before a County Court judge. The distinction
between realty and personalty should be abolished,
and it should only be necessary that a person should
chew his title before a lawyer. Unity of title would
follow the adoption of such a plan, and the law would
be simplified.

Murray, representatives of England, have received from
the Emperor Alexander a magnificent present.

MARRIAGE IN FRANCE.

The French Courts have given a judgment which,
though perfectly in accordance with law, is yet fraught
with the most melancholy consequences to an innocent
family. Fifteen years ego an Englishman was married to
a French girl, at the British Embassy in Paris. Several
children were born. Thirteen years later he died,
leaving a will, by which a friend, and not a member
of the family, inherited the whole of his possessions.
Now, according to French law, a man cannot disinherit
his wife and children by any will whatever. The law will
not permit a family to be " cut off with a shilling." The
mother, relying upon this point of the French code,
applied to have the will declared void, and the property
a.ssigned to herself and children. But, alas 1 it tran-
spired that the marriage at the English Embassy had been
performed without regard to the formula which
prescribes that a French and British subject
could not be married without a certificate of a
preliminary marriage before a French mayor. The lawyer
who pleaded the case of the family, argued that the
British Embassy being, according to diplomatic fiction,
a part of the British soil, although situated in Paris, only
English law prevailed within its walls. But this
principle was never intended to apply in such a case.
.:t was simply intended to secure the inviolability of
the ambassador, his suite, his servants, and the subjects of
his sovereign who may have taken asy!iln: nYleler his flag.
Evidently it could not be strained .may upon
French bequests or property. The murk therefore,
decided that the marriage was not legal. the property could
net be claimed, and the family is accordingly left penniless.
It is a deplorable case. For the future it is to be hoped
that the Embassy functionaries will know their business
better, and that we shall hear n 1 more of families being
sacrificed through a mere formality.
