slight decrease occurred yesterday. The least reading is at Nairn,
and Is o.3Lin. lower than that at Valencia. Temperature has decreased

these islands have generally backed to the north-westward, and are
l

and N. to N.E, breezes continue in France. Light south-

A conference of financial reformers is announced

In reply to the address of the English inhabitants
of Alexandria to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Major
Teesdale expressed the thanks of their Royal Rignesses, and
added: "Her Majesty the Queen will appreciate the ex-
pressions of loyalty to her person; contained in your address
to the Prince of Wales, and his royal highness cannot but
anticipate the most agreeable sojourn in this country, whilst
enjoying the unbounded hospitality of his Highness the
Khedive.

The rectory of the island of Valentia becoming
Vacant last week by the death of the Rev. E. L. Sandford
the Lord-Lieutenant has int"maied that it is not his inten-
tion to fill up the vacancy pending the measures to come be-
fore Parliament relative to the lash Church. The Bishop
of Limerick has therefore appointed the incumbent of the
adjoining parish on the main land to perform the services in
Valentia.

A fatal accident occurred to one of the " boys at
Harrow" a rum days back from incautiously holding a
revolver. Taking up the weapon, " which had been
surreptitiously obtained, contrary to the rules of the school,"
and Le:ng told it was loaded in one barrel, ho snapped three
bfurels one after the other at his forehead to prove the con-
trflri. The tourth went off, shooting the boy, and death
ensued, although not immediately, as the unfortunate lad
survived nearly two days.

Ryland's Iron grade Circular contains the follow-
ing :—" if the information which has reached us from a pri-
vate source is to be relied on, it has been definitively settled
at a Cabinet Council that the Government will throw
overboard Mr. Gladstone's proposal for the purchase of
the Irish railways by tlia

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

THE COTTON TRADE.

What is called a "wages crisis" is predicted in the
cotton trade of Lancashire. The men are most dis-
satisfied at the recent reductions of time and wages.
The masters are taking steps for their own security
by joining the Free Labour League of Manchester;
and, to better their position, the men propose to
amalgamate all trades into " one grand union."
Should they do as is proposed, the very first dispute
between masters and men, in whatever trade, may
be expected to be the signal for such a conflict
between capital and labour as has never been seen in
this country. So say those who watch the " signs
of the times." That the workpeople are really in
earnest may be gathered from the fact that the
female operatives are proposing to throw off their
woollen under-clothing, and to wear only calico and
calico prints. This, if it had any effect on the Lan-
cashire trade, would cause a serious depression in the
woollen trade of Yorkshire.

OUR MERCANTILE MARINE.
A correspondent of the Star declares that tht:
Navigation Laws have not ruined our shipowners,
but that these have gained by the change. Ile is
opposed to the " capitation grant for boys in
training ships," and thinks it will be a dangerous
precedent. He is also against the plan recently pro-
posed, that a Government inspector of shipping,
resident at each of the principal ports of the
kingdom, should inspect all vessels . before
they proceed to sea. He considers the pre-
caution to be quite unnecessary, and declares that
all classed ships are now inspected by men quite as
capable as any Government officer can be. Too
many inspectors would be required to perform the
task of supervision, and if they did discover the
defects they might wink at them. In conclusion,
the writer complains that the adoption of such a
course would relieve the shipowner from wholesome
responsibility.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
The convent case has terminated as far as the hearing
of evidence is concerned. A number of children were exa-
mined this morning who bad been in the plaintiff's school,
all of whom said she was always very kind to them, and
never took away their dinners.
Mr. Mellish then proceeded to address the jury on the

case.
The verdict may be expected about Thursday night.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FURIOUS DRlVlNG.—Richard Charles Eva, cab-driver
badge 10,411, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
being drunk and furious driving.
Police-constable Morgan, 55 C, saw the prisoner the
previous afternoon driving a four-wheel cab along
Compton-street at a rapid rate, a gentleman named
Dewspay being in the cab at the time. On the pri-
soner turning into Princes-street he came in collision
with a light spring cart, and went on at a furious rate
some distance further, until he ran into a waggon, and
the cab was smashed up, but the fare, although much
frightened, fortunately escaped unhurt. As the prisoner
was drunk, and totally incapable of driving, he was taken
to the station, where the prisoner said that he had been to
a wedding, and had drink given to him the previous day,
and that he had not got sober.
The prisoner hoped the magistrate would be lenient.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should be nothing of the kind.
The prisoner would have to pay 465. or a month, and he
wished he could inflict a higher fine, as he considered that
such mischievous persons ought to be made to pay for
their folly.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without

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 msthod does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth 'hat are loose, 'told ie gu
ramteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed

charged with smuggling 151 b of foreign manufactured
cigars and tobacco.
Mr. Beverley, from the Customs Solicitors' office, ap-
peared for the Crown.
A Custom-house officer, named Morgan, overhauled the
ship on her arrival at the St. Katharine's wharf from
Antwerp last week, and in the lining of the fore part of
the vessel discovered 401bs. of tobacco :and cigars. The
prisoner admitted that 121bs. of it belonged to him, the
remainder to three other passengers, who have ab-
sconded. It was also stated that all the offen-
ders would have been dismissed by the respect-
able company to which the Orion belongs, and
that it was the practice of the General Steam Navi-
gation Company to dismiss any servant detected in smug-
gling.
The prisoner, in defence, said the men who absconded
were as bad as he.
Mr. Benson said the Customs' authorities would be
very glad to reach the other smugglers, and convicted the
prisoner in the full penalty of £lOO, and in default six
months' imprisonment.

The outward Cape mail steamer Briton, with Mr.
Macrorie, the new Bishop dsignate for Natal, had
not reached Table Bay when the Norseman Mt.
Bishop Welby, from St. Helena, was expected by
the Briton to take part in Mr. Macrorie's consecra-
tion. Bishop Coterill, of Graham's Town, had
already arrived in Cape Town, and Bishop
Twells, of the Free State, was on his journey
there overland for that purpose. The Cape
Argus says :—" In our columns will be found
a protest from the laity of the English Church in
South Africa against the proposed consecration of
Mr. Macrorie as bishop over the faithful at Natal.
We sincerely trust that it will be numerously
signed."

rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
Armstances, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they

A SPE3IING PARADOX.

London is increasing at the rate of 100,000 inhabi-
tants a year. The population of London has fallen
off the laat +,,,n year, abort 25114-1- ermf.. This%
Reammg paradox is explained by the tact tnat the
word London is used in different senses. In the
first sense, it includes the whole vast province of
houses called the metropolis, which extends
from Ilighgate to Dulwich, from Stratford
to Acton. In the other case the City
proper is meant. The ancient City of London
is, in fact, fast becoming a city of offices and
shops by day ; as busy as a beehive by night ; as
empty as that same hive when the bees have swarmed.
This is well. It is good to change one's air and one's
scene, to have one's home apart from one's work, to
breath something like country air in the evening if
city air must be breathed at morning and noon. May

this depopulation go on and Increase. unq now moon
longer will the City be entitled to its exclusive privilege
of returning f our members to Parliament ? At present it
is ancient custom and the modern worship of wealth
which confer that privilege. If we ever come to
apply the test of population strictly the City will
have to yield this privilege.

DRURY LANE THEATRE.

The pantomime having been withdraw", /Poi
dramatic company have again taken possessi°llo
the stage, and last night the tragedy of " Macbeth
:of
drew a very crowded audience. The great curicsla
of the performance was the " doubling" the partsai,
Lady Macbeth and Hecate by Mrs. Howard pal
Without for a moment desiring to depreciate tr,
abilities of the lady, we are bound to say the l!e,
formance was that which we expected, a curioslv
and nothing more. Mrs. Paul has done a grero
many things well, and it has afforded us ple'sufe
to compliment her, but on the present occasion 0
can only say that, although her performance .iiet
not decidedly bad, it was very far from good. no
version of the ambitious wife of the Thbaal
of Glamis was, in many parts, entirely hescl,4ol
it requires a greater actress than Mrs. '-`-ro
to recreate the part of Lady Macbeth. There 34
many nice bits about her performance, but, lino"
,r
whole, it lacks:dignity, subtlety, and e9"3a,4
sure. Her rendering of the part of Hecate "a,
also peculiar—a very shadowy and sliPeruof
tural kind of dress, an enormous PI .ag
gauze wings shooting from her:shoulders, toweritho
high above her head, and reaching almost t°
ground, were its most striking characteristics.
too
cannot think that even this part of the perforel3oo
was of first-rate excellence, and with respect WO
mucic tho la:l,y might jti t am well attemPt t,er
of Polyphemus. That Mrs. Paul is a very 01%,1
actress, we most willingly admit ; but her 11st 3-50
most ambitious attempt will not tend to ioereber
her reputation. Like most artistes she hastbia
specialities, and when embodying a part wira'
her reach nothing can be better, but the atte:it,
to attain to the highest point of dramatic
without the preliminary practice, is a The
far beyond even her acknowledged ability. 4/y
Macbeth of Mr. Phelps is so well known andhiag
predated that we are called upon to say n0t,70,
more than that it preserved all its old heall'a,
and elicited the loudest applause. At the titio

honour of a call, which she most gracefully 01°1°

AItERICA.

The Mormons are represented as much alarmed at Mr.
ashley's bill for the division of Utah, and well they may
be. if Congress pass the measure there is an end of
Brigham Young's empire founding. The bill does not
Propose to divide Utah amongst the neighbouring States,
cutting off the uninhabited portions, and leaving the
Mormon community a compact whole. The community
itself is to be broken up. Wyoming will
be increased in area, and quadrupled •in popu-
lation by the addition of Mormons. Nevada gets
22,000 square miles from Utah and 10,000 Mor-
mons. Colorado is likewise augmented. The prophets
and saints are spending a most uncomfortable quarter of
an hour. It was on the Gth of April, 1830, that six
persons founded the settlement which now numbers
250,000. If Mr. Ashley's bill passes, two-score years will
see the end of Mormonism as a political ►)over. and
probably also as a religion.
The Suffrage Amendment nas now passed both Houses,
though not without a struggle. On February 8 and 9 the
Senate had a sitting of 1G hours' duration. It began
at seven in the evening, and lasted until eleven the next
day. This is hard business, but it must not be overrated.
One senator addressed an enthusiastic audience of two
members and one drowsy messenger ; but though the de-
bate was so near collapsing, it still lived through the night.
Some grave considerations are connected with this amend-
ment. It is all very well to give the suffrage to negroes,
but the consideration that "no distinction of race or
colour" would bring in the Chinaman, proved very awk-
ward to some Republicans. And the negro and the
Chinaman are not the only coloured races in the vast terri-
tory of the States.
