TIIE HEAD AND TIIF. Dr.ocx.

When a wag was told that Lord Winchilsea was
willing to lay his head on the block for the prezer-
vation of the Irish Church and the maintenance of
the authority of the House of Lords, he observed
that the noble lord would still have a good chance,
for it would be difficult for the executioner to distill-
guish between the head and the block.

EXACTING CONSTITITF.NTS.

The Liberals of Halifax will have no turning
either to the right hand or to the loft. Their
member, Colonel Akroyd, voted for the postpone-
ment of the surplus. The advan:ed party in Halifax
were much incensed at this proceeding, and bills were
posted throughout the town proclaiming that their
member had gone against Mr. Gladstone and the
Liberal party. " Liberal electors," said the poster,
" note and remember this. It is a vote contrary
to your clearly and Etrongly-e7preFsed instruc-
tions, and for which a stern mid strict account must
be demanded." The ➢larquis of Salisbury will
probably note this as an instance of the tyranny of
constituencies.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, July 24 (Morning.)

In yesterday's sitting of the Budget Committee
of the Austrian Delegation the estimates of the
secret service of the Foreign Office were agreed to
without any alteration.

A motion for the reduction of the additional ex-
penses for salaries to officials allowed to the Am-
bassador in Paris was rejected ; also a proposal to
abolish the Embassy in Rome and the diplomatic
representatives at the smaller Courts of Europe,
including the Plenipotentiaries in those countries
which belong to the North German Confederation.
It was, however, agreed to do away with the mis-
sion at the Hanse Towns, which is combined with
that of Oldenburg and Brunswick.

A perusal of this paragraph may save many from much
future suffering. All persons afflicted with bad legs, sores,
ulcers, and skin diseases, who from want of means or other
reasons cannot avail themselves of surgical treatment, may
release themselves from their complaints by using Hollo-
way's pinifyirg, soothing, and healing remedies. In every
outward ailment this wonderful ointment brings about the
most beneficial results, by preventing congestion in the
vessels of the skin, and thus effacing the first and most
frequent causes of inflammation. Internal pains, rheu-
matic and gouty tortures, scrofulous swellings, and on.
tracted sinews may be overcome by diligently rubbing

The LORD ADVOCATE, in reply to Sir J. Elphin-
stone, said it was intended to proceed with the bill on
Tuesday morning next.

prevent a system of slave trade arising in the Polynesian
Archipelago.
EGYPTIAN COMPANIES.

Mr. OT'VA Y, in reply to Mr. White, said information
Lad been received that the Viceroy of Egypt had given
directions that the English shareholders i❑ the Societe
Agricole et Industrelle d'Ejypt should be placed iu the
same position as the French, and if such was nut done re-
presentation would be made accordingly.
UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL

Sir J. COLERIDGE, iu reply to Mr. Saitaris, said he
could not state what would ba the ulterior course of the
Government ou the sullect next year. lie could not say
what would be the result of resisting popular demands
after what had 'taken play.° elsewhere, whero certain
ameuduients had been refused consideration. (Loud

cheers.)
An HON. MEMBER wished to know whether it was
competent for an hon. member in that house to refer to

iatwhich had taken place in another place ?

The SPEAKER said it was not in order to refer to
lebates, bet that did not apply to the acts done in the

:ouse of Lords

Mr. DISRAELI thought it was most objectionable to
refer to matters in the manner the hon. gentleman had
done.

PUBLIC OFFICES CONSTRUCTION BILL.

Mr. LAYARD announced that it was the intention of
the Government to withdraw this hal, and therefore it
would not N 3 necessary to lay the ground plans on the
table of the hens., for the present.
COASTGUAHD MEN.

Mr. CHILDERS said it was not true that several men
had ben dtschargel because they had Lot enough back
teeth to masticate ship's biscuit. It was, however, a rule
that the possession of sufficient teeth to masticate food was
ono of the requisites in those seeking employment in the
reserve, and he was not prepared to recommend that the
order should be repealed.
THE FIELD DAY AT ALDERSHOTT.

Mr. CARDWELL said it was true that 125 men fell
out of the ranks, amounting to 8,000 men, to obtain water,
but it was not true to say the place was literally strewn
with disabled soldiers. The heat of the weather, and not
the lightness of the clothing, was the cause. Five men
had been in hospital, but all had now returned to duty.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(7his Day).

(Before the Assistant Judge and a bench of
Magistrates.)
TRIAL OF LORD OAItINGTON FOR ASSAULTING

MR. GRENVILLE MURRAY.

Evidence in corroboration of the assault having
been eivrn, the jury found the prianDorewmy of a
common msault, but thought it was committed
under circumstances of the greatest provocation.

The defendant, who had been accommodated
with a seat in the body of the court, was then or-
dered to stand forward.

The Assistant-Judge said the judgment of the
Court was that the defendant shout.' enter into his
rccognisanccs, in the sum of £lOO, to keep the
peace for the next 12 months, and if he did not
r.Teat the offence he world hear no more of it.
(Applause.)
His lordship entered into the required securities
and was discharged, and left the Court with his
numerous influential friends.

THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.

The most important of the Dissenting bodies is
now holding its annual gathering. Hull has been
chosen for this year's Wesleyan Conference. One
hundred and seventeen years ago Wesley visited
Hull, was stoned, and had to take refuge in a coach
which was protected on each side by other coaches.
That was on his first visit. On his last, about
three-quarters of a century ago, he found
a wonderful change, for Methodism had so
flourished that there were four settled dis-
tricts in the neighbourhood of the Humber.
There are now sixteen. As usual, great interest is
felt in the " coming man." The probability is that
the President will be found either in the neighbour-
hood of Leeds, or at the Book Room or the Mission
Rouse, London. Special interest attaches to this
year's Conference, because the Irish Church question
is sure to be discussed. There is less unanimity of
opinion upon this subject among this body, perhaps,
than among any other of the Nonconformist com-
munities, but on one point the Wesleyans are entirely
and emphatically of one mind—that there must be no
concurrent endowment.

In the list of meetings recently given in favour of
the Irish Church Bill it was stated that Mr. Glad-
stone had received " resolutions in favour of the bill
as it originally left the House of Commons from the
Wesleyan conferences in London, Plymouth, and
Cork," and " from the Wesleyan Methodist Society
of St. Neots." Mr. John Chubb, the 'Wes-
leyan who presided at the metropolitan meet-
ing of Conservatives, some time back, now writes
calling in question the truth of these state-
ments. The Wesleyan Conference has not yet
begun actual business. What is meant by the
'Wesleyan Conferences (plural), Mr. Chubb does not
know. It is true that the Exigency Committee of the
Wcsleyans has declared its opposition to concurrent
endowment ; but no opinion is offered on the bill
itself. There is no such body as the Plymouth
Wesleyan Conference. The Irish Conference said
nothing about the matter, and the only declaration
in favour of the bill came from St. \ eots. Mr. Chubb
is probably right, so far as the body to which he
belongs is concerned, but he forgets, or suppresses
the fact, that there arc many bodies of Methodists
which hold conferences. It is from some of these
that the petitions have come.
London, England, 1869-07-23

FORTIFICATIONS.

The Government bill as to fortifications has been
issued. It authorises the payment of one million,
five hundred, and ten thousand pounds out of the
Consolidated Fund, for the completion of such forti-
fications as have been commenced at the Royal
arsenals and dockyards, and the harbours of Dover
and Portland ; and it authorises the abandonment of
such works already sanctioned by Parliament which
have not been commenced.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. 5.1.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.

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 beta institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

717 E MANCHESTER AGRICULTURAL
SHOW.

Among the implements now being shewn at the Royal
Agricultural Society's Show, Manchester, are same worthy
of notice and description. Messrs. Coleman and Norton, of
Chelmsford, for instance, exhibit a " horse pitchfork," a
remarkably clever arrangement of poles, ropes, and
pulleys, and a mechanical fork, by which hay may be
unloaded from carts on to the stack with great expe-
dition. A similar invention, patented by Mr.
;lames Adams, of Fenchurch-street, manages the
raising of hay or loose barley on to the loftiest
ricks by the power of one horse, so that a man and
boy can keep four pitchers going in the field;
and the pole, rope, pulleys, and fork cost under a £5 note.
Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Edinburgh, exhibits a handy
little road locomotive, remarkable for being constructed
with an upright or " pot " boiler, and with indiarul,ber
tires to the wheels for neutralising jolts and jars. Mr. T.
Fisken, of the Britannia Steam Cultivating Company,
Leeds, has at work in a field en the Stretford-road a set of
machinery in which a portabia steam-engine stationed at
one end of the plot drives two self-shifting windlasses
by means of a manilla rope running at a high velocity
and mounted upon friction rollers upon rope-porters. A
ten-horse engine was to be seen driving an eight-furrow
balance plough, and snaking excellent work. In another
field of lightish land Messrs. John Fowler and Co., of
Leeds, are at work with sets of tackle from 10-horse
up to 20-horse engines, and in the show-yard is
one of a pair of o•horsc steam ploughing engines
made for Mr. Campbell, of Buscot Park, Berk-
shire. In point of attendance the Royal Agricultural
Society's Show at Old Trafford, Manchester, has been
successful up to the present time beyond any precedent.
On Tuesday, when the Prince and Princess of Wales
were present, 20,000 persons entered, of whom upwards of
14,000 paid ss. entrance-fee, and 10,000 went to see the
leaping of hunters, at an extra fee of Js. On Wednesday,
when the royal visitors were also present, 40,547 persons
entered, paying half-a-crown each, exclusive of 2,347
season-ticket holders ; and on this day again upwards of
10,000 paid the extra fee to witness the leaping. Thursday
was the first shilling day, and the numbers who entered
were very great.

IN HONOUR OP THE ARTS AND SCIENCES.

The Lord Mayor of London gave a grand banquet
to scientific men, artists, S:c., on Wednesday even-

the Royal Society, the President of the Royal
Academy, the President of the Royal Geographical
Society, Sir Charles Wheatstone, Sir Michael Costa,
