TIE LATE LORD DROLTGIIAU.

"An English Traveller " writes to the Times ill
praise of the " severely magnificent " monument
which the present Lord Brougham has placed over
the grave of his illustrious brother. It is a gigantic
cross of granite between twenty and thirty feet high,
with no ornament or inscription save the following,
(in Latin) :—" henry Brougham ; born 1778, died
188." The " Traveller " wishes to know if there is
to be no memorial of the omn:sdent man in -West-
minster Abbey? The " Traveller" should not be
impatient. We are generally from a decade to a
century behindhand. l'erha.ps the next generation
will begin to remember that there was such a man
as Henry Brougham, the Refor►uer, the Anti-Slave-
Trade agitator, the Chancellor, the Saran, and the
Sociologist.

ESCAPE OF A "CATIUBE" BALLON.

The dwellers in the West-end of London have bad a
veritable sensation of late. From miles off a balloon,
rating stationary in the air, might be seen on a fine day.
This balloon was let up from Ashburnbam, adjoining the
well-known Cremorne Gardens. It was kept from travel-
ling where it would by a rope worked on pulleys, &c. It
would hold about thirty people, and numbers have
ascended in it and been brought down again. For some
days past these ascents have attracted a large number of
persons to the grounds, and those who paid tbeiradmisaion
fee o❑ Tuesday went quite unprepared to witness the
monster machine get clear away from its moorings, and
start on an aerial voyage amidst grf at consternation.
The ascent of Tuesday was purely an experimental one;
and it is satisfactory to state that the car was
wholly unoccupied, The object sought was to test what
pressure of wind the balloon would stand against; and
there being a strong southerly breeze at the time, the
occasion seemed very opportune. At about quarter-past
four the signal to "let go" was given, and the " Captive'
gradually ascended to an altitude of nearly ninety feet'
when suddenly the pressure of the wind caused it to,
descend rapidly. The cable becoming suddenly slackened,
it shifted off the wheel on which it worked, the edge
of which cut it, thereby causing the balloon—over
which there was then no control—to shoot rapidly up-
wards. There was about thirty feet of rope left at-
tached to the balloon when it broke away, and in its ascent
a Port of the wood and canvas hoarding surrounding
the ground was knocked down. The course taken by the
balloon was in a north-westerly direction, and in Trafalgar-
square its progress was watched with much interest by
many persons at about hnlf.past four ; but such was the
rapidity with which it travelled that it soon passed over
London. M. Yon, the proprietor, at once forwarded tele-
graphic messages down the several lines in the course the
balloon had taken, and one reply received was to the effect
that it had been seen at Reading, and a subsequent mes-
sage stated that it had passed over Oxford. It had been
engaged by a party of twelve gentlemen for the purpose,
if possible, of witnessing the running for the Derby from
the car to-day.

PARLIAMENTARY RETURNS.

Our parliamentary-literature costs the country no
little sum. Ninety thousand pounds were spent in
the session 18(17-8 for returns of different kinds,
&c. It was suggested some time since
that private returns should be refused unless the
Government felt that they were of real importance.
But though private members swell the list consi-
derably, they do not use their power of moving for
returns to a very exorbitant extent as far as
printing is concerned. Two hundred and
fifty-six non-otlicial returns were issued during
the session, but these were mostly one and
two-page papers; and as only from a thousand
to two thousand copies were printed, the total cost
did not reach five thous:md pounds. Where the
outlay occurs is rather in the different Government
offices. Things are overturned, old boas have to be
searched, extra clerks have to be employed, and a
most elaborate and time-consuming system of
account-keeping has to be used because, perchance,
some day Mr. Chas
may as's to have some
unimportant statistics laid before Parliament.

A SPANISH INT/tIGIIF..

The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
states that Senor Tassara, the newly-appointed plenipo-
tentiary from Spain, is daily expecting his recall. "The
mistake is ascribed to him of having foreseen and fore-
ehewn what is not unlikely to be the public talk ere
many days are past. lam credibly informed that the
French Emperor is of opinion that the solution of
the Spanish difficulty that would suit his interest
best would be the recognition of the Prince of the
Asturias as successor to his mother, who might be induced
to abdicate in his favour rather than see her children sup-
planted by the Montpensiers and their offspring. As
General Prim's consent is deemed indispensable to the
peaceful accomplishment of this arrangement, he is said
to have been allowed to name his own terms ; and, for
reasons that need not be mentioned, there will be no
difficulty of course on the part of Marshal Serrano. A
six years' lease of power, it is thought, would satisfy the
head of the army, if he can gulp his recent vehement
protestations that the Bourbons in Spain are henceforth
Impossible. If he cannot or will not agree to be maire du
palais of the boy king, then Spain must prepare for a civil
war."
London, England, 1869-05-26

SPAIN.

Further details of the Carlist conspiracy at Barcelona
by no means tend to diminish the gravity of the earlier
reports. More than one hundred persons have been
arrested. Amongst these are two colonels, several
commandants and subordinate army officers, a prebendary
of the cathedral, and twelve priests. Divers important
and compromising documents have been found, one of
them hinting darkly at the assassination of Espartero. A
junta had been nominated beforehand to take the direc-
tion of affairs, if the movement succeeded. All these
functionaries in posse have been arrested.
It is noteworthy that the Republican deputies in the
Cortes who threatened to withdraw if the monarchy were
voted still keep their seats. This change of purpose is
owing to a declaration made by the representatives of the
majority, that the Republicans should enjoy under the
Monarchy the full right of discussion and propagation
accorded to all other opinions. The new Constitution
does undoubtedly preserve on paper the most complete
freedom of speech and pen. What the Republicans could
hope to gain by withdrawing from the Legislature, except
by attempting another revolution, it is impossible to
imagine.

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

The Nene F, ie Prase of Vienna states that the Queen
of Prussia and the Crown Prince are both strongly in
favour of peace, and are now engaged in attempt-
ing to brht about a better understanding between
the Powers of Central Europe. An interview between
the sovereigns of France, Prussia, and Austria is not im-
probable. Negotiations have been opened for this purpose,
but Count Bismarck will not countenance the projects
unless the Emperor Napoleon take part in it. This news
is satisfactory ,enough, but the special necessity for such
an interview is not at all apparent. Recent events in
Italy are disquieting ; but on the whole the situation is
more peaceful than at any previous time during the last
three years.

THAMES.

THE CAPTAIN ON A LEE SHORE.—Two smartly -dressed
foreign women, named Louisa Hoffman, aged 21 years,
and Eleanor Posillimine, No.l, White-horse-court, Royal
Mint-street, were brought before Mr. Benson charged
with stealing a £5 Bank of Englanl note from the person
of Captain Carl Christian Wallis, master of the ship Har-
mony in the West Jndia Dock.
The prosecutor was on a cruise on shore last night, and
met with the prisoners. He was taken all aback with
their attentions and blandishments. He treated them Witty
ligror and went to sunlry places with them. Ali was
b:iss, contentment, and good humour uuil I.e missed a
.C 5 Bank of England note. He accused them f staaliugjt.
They made, loud protestations of innocence, but wore
notwithstanding given into cnstody,l(nd wart:lied. A
few shillings only was found upon them.
Mr. Benson thought it would be useless to commit the

TEE FALLACY OF EXAXUNATIONS.

UAn Assistant Master " writes a letter to the
Times with the . above heading, and condemns the
present system of university local examinations.
lie says that the effect of them is to induce the
masters to cram a few 'boys, and to neglect the
rest. The examination thus becomes merely a test
of the boy's proficiency, not of the school teaching as
a whole. This, however, is• something gained ; it is
something to the purpose that ten, or even two, per
cent. of a school should submit to a test. But "An
Assistant Master " is no doubt right when he suggests
that the proper kind of test would be an examination
of the whole school. it was impossible to obtain
this at the outset of the culmination move-
ment. Those who suggested it were denounced
as inquisitor, and generally as objectionable
characters. But gradually the schoolmasters have
been educated up to this point. There is now little
reason to doubt that before long the recommenda-
tions of the Royal Commission on Middle Class
Education. will be carried out, and that most of the
schools in the kingdom will voluntarily submit them-
selves to inspection by competent examiners.

'THE LUXEMBURG FORTIFICATIONS.

The vigorous representations of the Prussian Govern-
ment have produced a salutary effect upon the dilatory
municipality of Luxemburg. The conference held at
London on the Luxemburg question in May 1867 decided
that the fortifications of the city should be destroyed.
The local authorities accordingly commenced the work of
demolition; but the rate of progress was so slow that the
whole cost involved is said to have been not more than
thirty shillings a week ! Prussian protests have, however,
materially accelerated this pace. A very large bastion,
commenced 1556,„amLuPt finished until 1697, has, just
been blown tp. Th 6 task of destroying this historical
fortification, with walls twenty feet in thickness, was both
difficult and dangerous, but it has been accomplished
without accident.

WESTMINSTER.

MORE PERILS OF RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.-A boy named
Ford, respectably connected, was charged with throwing
stones upon the Metropolitan District Railway,
Police-constable William Gulstan, 316 B, said that ho
saw the defendant at a little after five last night at Pelham-
place, Knightsbridge. There is a bridge there, and the
defendant threw two small stones over it at a train that
was passing-.

Defendant said he was throwing at the wall and tho
stones wont over by accident.
Tho constable said that the defend..nt could ace the
train passing.

Mr. Arnold—This is a most serious thing ; T really
don't know m hat is to be done.

Boy's Father—l am very sorry. My son threw at the
wall, and did not mean to do any harm.
Mr. Arnold—That may be true, but he is not aware of
the mischief ho may do. Ile might injure a person very
s3riously. With the speed of the train if a stone truck the
window or entered the carriage it would be like a gunshot.
I must do the best I can to stop this. Defendant is fined
10s. or seven days.

THE TORNADO CASE.

What will the Government do about the Tornado
case ? It is many months since the present Attorney-
General, then out of office, asked Lord Stanley this
question, and urged active measures if the Spanish
Government would not grant a new trial. Sir
Robert Collier is now in office; the offence he com-
plained of has been aggravated by still further
delays. Is he prepared to recommend his political
friends to take the same course as he recom-
mended to his political opponents ? Lord
Stanley settled the matter with regard to
the Victoria by letting the Mediterranean squadron
steam from Malta to Gibraltar,. and of course by the
most undesigned coincidence in the world, Queen
Isabella's Government gave us the satisfaction we
asked. Is the Prim-Serrano Government open to
the same kind of argument ? and is the chief law
adviser of the Crown prepared to counsel oux
Government to try it ? What, too, is this we he ti
about Sir John Cram ton? A fortnight ago the
Owl stated that he had " resigned." The Madrid
correspondent of the Hominy Star, who has all
along been particularly well informed, says there is a

ESCAPE OF A "CA PI ÜBE" BALLON.

The dwellers in the West-end of London have had a
veritable sensation of late. From miles off a balloon,
resting stationary in the air, might be seen on a fine day.
This balloon was let up from Ashburnham, adjoining the
well-known Cremorne Gardens. It was kept from travel-
ling where it would by a rope worked on pulleys, &c. It
would hold about thirty people, and numbers have
ascended in it and been brought down again. For some
days past these ascents have attracted a large number of
persons to the grounds, and those who paid their admission
fee on Tuesday went quite unprepared to witness the
monster machine get clear away from its moorings, and
start on an aerial voyage amidst great consternation.
The ascent of Tuesday was purely an experimental one;
and it is satisfactory to state that the car was
wholly unoccupied. The object sought was to test what
pressure of wind the balloon would stand against ; and
there being a strong southerly breeze at the time, the
occasion seemed very opportune. At about quarter-past
four the signal to "let go " was given, and the " Captive'
gradually ascended to an -altitude of nearly ninety feet'
when suddenly the pressure of the wind caused it to,
descend rapidly. The cable becoming suddenly slackened,
it shifted off the wheel on which it worked, the edge
of which cut it, thereby causing the balloon—over
which there was then no control—to shoot rapidly up.
wards. There was about thirty feet of rope left at-
tached to the balloon when it broke away, and in its ascent
a part of the wood and canvas hoarding surrounding
the ground was knocked down. The course taken by the
balloon was in a north-westerly direction, and in Trafalgar-
square its progress was watched with much interest by
many persons at about half-past four ; but such was the
rapidity with which it travelled that it soon passed over
London. M. Yon, the proprietor, at once forwarded tele-
graphic messages down the several lines in the course the
balloon had taken, and one reply received was to the effect
that it had been seen at Reading, and a subsequent mes-
sage stated that it had passed over Oxford. It had been
engaged by a party of twelve gentlemen for the purpose,
if possible, of witnessing the running for the Derby from
the car to-day.

LORD JUSTICE SELWYN.

The illness of Lord Justice Selwyn is announced.
On Monday there was a report in Chancery that his
lordship was dead, but it turned out to be untrue.
The announcement suggests the number of changes
which have taken place in the Court of Chancery
Appeal very recently. Since 1800, when Lord
JusticcsKilight Bruce and Turner occupied the bench,
both those learned men have been removed by death,
and have been succeeded by Lord Cairns and Sir John
Rolt. The latter was laid aside by paralysis, and
was succeeded by Selwyn. Lord Cairns became
Lord Chancellor, and his place was taken by Sir
William Page Wood. Sir William followed Lord
Cairns to the Woolsack, and has been succeeded by
Sir M. Giffard. Thus within a little over three years
seven lawyers have held the post of Lord Justice of
Appeal.

3ill. CHARLEY AGAIN.

The failure of the Blackheath great Protestant
demonstration is now explained. Mr. Charley was
not there. This very energetic gentleman writes to
say why he was not there. One of his reasons is that
the Lords made a great mista!ie in not throwing out
the bill on the second reading, supported as they were
by the demonstration of " a quarter of a million
of men" at Manchester (Mr. Charley has
clearly been studying Falstaff lately). But the time
for demonstrations is coming. Let Mr. Gladstone
once attempt to coerce the Lords, and then there
will be no lack of demonstrations. Then, if Mr.
Charley is right, we shall ace the remarkable spec-
tacle of the nation rising to support the Lords in
their opposition to the representatives whom the
nation has chosen.

POLITICS IN WALES.

The Conservative journals are answering Mr.
Richard's charges against the Welsh Conservative
landlords by bringing counter-charges against the
Liberal landlords. It is stated that in Cardiganshire
Sir Pryse Pryse irsned a circular to his tenants
telling them that they could vote as they pleased,
but as the election drew on, and it was
found that the fight would be close, the tenants
were apprised that no freedom would be left
to them, and they were dragged up to
the poll " like the beeves of Hercules." To
those who know nnything- of the Welsh middle-class
the idea of there being any necessity for "dragging"
a Welahman to vote for a Liberal will seem the
wildest improbability. But supposing that this con-
tingency did happen, it proves merely that what is
called "landlordism " pervades the whole of the
landlord class, and that there is the more neces-
sity for counteracting it. It is noticeable
that no attempt is made to deny Mr.
Richard's charges. He is accused of bad manners
in attacking private persons and in not giving notice
to everyone whom he intended to name; but the fuss
that is made about this perfectly irrelevant and
trivial matter - shews how well-founded his charges
are, and how necessary it is that Welsh tenants
should be protected. If the Liberal landlords are as
bad as the Conservative, the necessity becomes pro
tanto the greater.
