WESTMINSTER.

IMMINENT PERIL OF RAILWAY TILATELLERS.—Wm.
M'Naughton, a boy of 14, was charged with throwing a
brick at a railway train while, in motion with passengers.
James Thompson, a constable of tho Metropolitan Dis-
trict Railway, said that at seven last night he was on duty
on a waste piece of ground near Palmer's Village, West-
minster, and saw the prisoner throw some sand on au
engine as it passed. Directly after this a railway train
passed, and prisoner threw a brick, which struck one of
the carriages, and then fell upon the mota!s, to the great
danger of the passengers.
The boy said nothing.
His mother declared that he was not right in his head.
Mr. Arnold—Then you should not let him out.
Mother—l keep him in as much as I can.
Mr. Arnold—You should keep him in altogether; he
will kill somebody.
Mother—My husband has been twelve weeks out of
work.

Mr. Arnold—That is no reason why this boy should
throw bricks on to the railvray. He is remanded for a
week.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors of
this railway was held to-day at the King's Cross Station,
for the purpose of considering and deciding upon an
agreement between the company and the Metropolitan
Railway Company for the use of the Metropolitan
Railway between King's-cross and Moorgate-street and
the stations thereon. Colonel Packe, M.P., chairman of
the board of directors, presided.

The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the agree •
meat is to enable the Great Northern Railway Company's
trains to run direct to the Metropolitan Company's station
at Moorgate-street, in the city.
The proposition was agreed to unanimously.

A TRAIN SEIZED AND CARRIED OFF BY
UN S.

Last night the volunteer encampment at Blackpool
broke up, and those members of thu corps who had
coma from a distance south were to depart in a
special train due out of Blackpool ut six p.m. The
mass of rifles, howe•;er, instead of waiting fur their
truth, took absolute possession of the 5.5 F.m. train - the
ordir.ary passenger train, and last from Blackpool. The
excluded passengers remonstrated with the volunteers,
but to no purpose, and the train left, leaving over 1,000
people behind. it was late before an additional train could
be procured for those left at Blackpool.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with jastice
!idled the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any dr-
;min:dances, and thousands of persons can now hear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. la 1., 2s. 9d., and Ils. each, in
every town in the kqigdom.
CAUTION.
Bo sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in c•onsequeuce of the success of
4 Norton's Camomile Pills."

FIFTY years ago this week there was born an infant
who, though " only a girl," was destined to sit on one
of the most illustrious thrones in the world. Two
years before that the nation had been plunged into the
most profound grief by the sudden death of the
Princess who was looked upon as the future Queen
of Zngland. That death led to three royal
marriages. The fruit of one of them was the child
whofirst saw light in Kensington Palace, May 24, 1819.
There was trouble in store for the babe. Before she
was a year old she lost her father, after a few days'
illness. The death of EDWARD Duke of Kent was
followed within a week by that of his father,
King GEORGE 111. Thus there remained
but one generation Itetween this unweaned child
and the Crown. Yet it all but came to
pass that she never wore that crown. While
at Weymouth, during her first year, a care-
less boy fired off a gun, and the shot breaking
through the nursery window, passed close to the
little Princess. Two kings succeeded that child's
grandfather. Both of them were advanced in
years ; both of them it was known could not
reign long ; and so the keenest interest was
felt in the maiden who was growing up from
childhood into womanhood. She led a simple
life ; and, while well-educated, was not bound by the
stunting swathes of excessive etiquette. Often she
would take an early meal in the garden in front of
Kensington Palace, and the morning stroller through
the Gardens would see the royal child sitting with
book on lap, or work in hand. Between her and her
uncle, King WILLIAM, there was not, as we have
learnt from herself, any great amount of cordiality.
She was early attached to the cousin whom
she afterwards married ; but the KING, for
reasons not assigned, impeded the development
of flat attachment. Cue morning in the height
of summer there were early callers at Kensington
Palace. It was but five o'clock when the Archbishop
of CANTERBURY, the Earl of ALBERMADLF, and Sir
IIENnY ILti.Fonn, the physician, arrived. The
PuiNcEss was fast asleep, but their business would
admit of no delay. They came with important news.
They came to salute Queen VICTORIA. " The King
is dead. Long live the Queen "

It must have been a solemn moment for the young
girl. Had this news come but six months sooner
she would have had the help of a regent to introduce
her into her new duties. Not a month had passed
since she attained her majority, and all the burden of

POLICE IN TEL LIG EN CE.-1 his Day.

MARL BOROUG 11-STREET.
A SOLICITOIt ROBBED OF BANK NOTES.—Mary Ann
Brennan, a tall stout female, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with stealing from the person of Mr Frederick Dims-
dale, solicitor, of No. 13, Poultry, £JJ in bank notes and
some gold and silver, and a quantity of memoranda.
Mr. D;msdale said that he met the prisoner close to the
Regent-circus, Piccadilly, when she accosted him. Ho
told her to go away, but she followed him into Jermyn-
street, walkng by his side for some distance. Ile got rid
of her again, and she again came up to him and put her
arms round him, and then put her hands into his pockets.
Thinking there might bo something wrong he put his
hands into his pockets and missed from cue his purse con-
taining twelve .C 5 notes ae.d £2 10s. in gold and silver.
Mr. Tyrwhitt tu-ked the prosecutor whether he was
quite cob: r ?
The prisoner—He was blind drunk.
The prosecutor said he knew whet he was about. The
prisoner ran away and he ran after her, and a constable
fortunately stopped her. He noticed while the prisoner
was mar him that there were two tut n near, one on his
right side and the other on the opposite side of the
street, and as soon as he s,t off running after
the prisoner one of the men caught his foot
against his toe cud threw him down. He got
up again directly and ran after the prisoner, and told the
onstab:e that he believed she had passel something to
us of the men.
Police-constable George Pike, C.,5 L, said he once had
t.. prisoner, whose name was Maloney, and whose hus-
band was now undergoing seven years' penal sei•vitude, in
custody at the Bow-street Police-court for picking pockets,
and she was then sentenced to three mouths' imprison-
ment.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.

THE CONFLICT AT BALLY HEIGUE.

Our Cork correspondent writes that the latest intelli-
gence from the scene of the late collision between the police
and the mob is that of the two men O'Hara and Dunne, who
were severely wounded ; the former still lives, but is in
suck a weak state that the doctors in attendance on him
at the County Infirmary can give no hope of his recovery.
Dunne's injuries were of such a character from the first that
no serious fears arose as to his ultimate recovery. Captain
Ball, R.M., has been to the infirmary and taken the depo-
sitions of Dunne and O'Hara. The excitement which was
caused in Ballybeigue, Tralee, and the country around by
the unfortunate conflict still continues.

SPAIN.

The Lisbon Journal of Commerce has found another
solution for the sovereignty problem in Spain. Prince
Augustus, brother of the King of Portugal, will espouse
the daughter of the Duke of Montpensier, and will then
be proposed by the Government as their candidate for the
throne. Prince Augustus will be 22 years of age next
November. The daughter of the Duke of Montpensier
alluded to is no doubt the Princess Maria Amelia, who
is 17 years of age. The Inclependance Beige thinks this
combination may satisfy the Unionists and Progressists ;
but what will the Portuguese think of it?

THAMES.

THE TRUANT IlusnANn.—Mr. Pelham, solicitor, applied
ou behalf of a Mrs. Elizabeth Blackbourn for a protection
order to protect her goods, chattels, and money against

her runaway husband, John Blackbourn, a fish port,r,
who absconded on the 3d of August, 18GG, on which day
she charged him on a summons with threatening her, and
whom she had not seen since. The applicant had six
children living, the eldest 22 years of age, the youngest
10 years of age.. She was married to her husband on the
2d of August, 1816, at the parish church of St. John,
Wapping. Ho turned out to be a very bad husband,
and he was not only lazy, but also a drunkard. The
principal support of . her frmily rested on the shoulders of
the wife, who had anuired a little property since her
abandonment b her husband. She did not know whether
he was alive or dead.

Mrs. Blackbourn, a jolly, rosy-faced woman, of respec-
table appearance and good deportment, confirmed the
statement of her solicitor, and said she wanted no assist-
ance from her husband, but she required protection for
her property and future earnings.
The protection order was at once grantmd, and Mr. Pel-
ham said he should immediately register it in the White-
chapel County Court.

THE CONFLICT AT BALLYILEIGUE.

Our Cork correspondent writes that the latest intelli-
gence from the scene of the late collision between the police
and the mob is that of the two men O'Hara and Dunn; who
were severely wounded ; the former still lives, but is in
suck a weak state that the doctors in attendance on him
at the County Infirmary can give no hope of his recovery.
Dunne's in juries were of such a character from the first that
no serious fears arose as to his ultimate recovery. Captain
Ball, R.M., has been to the infirmary and taken the depo-
sitions of Dunne and O'Hara. The excitement which was
caused in Ballybeigue, Tralee, and the country around by
the unfortunate conflict still continues.

FRANCE AND CHINA.

The Paris Patrie, semi-official journal, denies altogether
the statement that a Chinese official had struck the French
Ambassador at Pekin, and that a serious difficulty would
probably be the consequence. The difficulty which actually
did occur was very slight. Some Christians established
in one of the northern provinces had been maltreated by a
mandarin, and the French Ambassador demanded repara-
tion. This was not at first conceded ; but the representa-
tive of France " energetically renewed his claim," and at
length obtained justice. The mandarin was removed, and
recompense awarded to the Christians. The relations
between the Courts of Paris and Pekin are, according to
the Patric, in the most satisfactory condition.

PARLIAMENTARY TACITURNITY.

Mr. Rylands, M.P. for Warrington, making a
speech to his constituents, explained how it was that
the Irish Church Bill had made such rapid progress
through the Lower House. He denied that the
Liberal Whips had given any instructions to 11I.P's
that they should abstain from speaking. He said
that he had made up his mind from the first not to
speak upon the bill, but to support it, for the me:T.sure
was so thoroughly unlerstood that there was no need
of arguments in its behalf. Other members had
come to the same conclusion, and hence the sPecd
with which the measure had been- - carried
through its stages. Mr. Rylands then went
on ti praise Mr. Gladstone's leadership, and declared
that the often-made assertion that the Liberal leader
was inferior in tact to the Conservative was
unfounded. Mr. Rylands may fairly take some
credit to himself and his friends for the reticence
which they have displayed. There is an unusually
large number of new M P.'s in the present House of
Commons, and it was but to be expected that they
would desire to hear their own voices, and to please
their constituents by an oratorical display. The fact
that they have not done so, is one of the most.
remarkable illustrations of party discipline that the
Liberals have ever shown.

SPORT.

t glance at some of our newspapers would lead
foreigners to suppose that play was the great busi-
ness of life. For instance, the Early Telegraph gives
nearly a page (a third of it in advertisement type)
to sporting intelligence. Four and a half columns
describe the sayings and doings of jockeys and
horses beaten ont to the tenuity of gold leaf, a fact

itself togreatest advantage. Surely pigeons mustflory

SALE or Soins.—Ou Tuesday last 500 souls
belonging to the parishes of Westborough and Dry
DoOdington, in Lincolnshire, were duly put up to auction
by Mr. Driver, at the Nrart. The sale was full of interest.
The death of the late incumbent .having left the living
vacant, the trustees of these happy souls were unable to sell
them legally dnring'a vacancy. They therefore handed
them over to the care_ (not indeed for long, as they piously
Loped) of a clergyman, whose (xtreine age, 73 years, made
them more marketable. They were well worth buying;
the annual income which they produced was £7OB ; and
deducting £lOO for a curate, there were £6OO clear on
whiell a gentleman might disport himself, in a nice house,
in neighbourhood full of good society, and, if the gentle.
man kept horses, a good hunting country. Or, indeed, he
might save his £lOO, for -500 souls could want so little
looking after that they were scarcely worth considering.
Five hundred souls !Would any one 5aY.25,000 for them ?

A CILI:OIT QUALIF C O.

Mr. Dent, M-.P. for Scarborough, in proposing that
the Duke of Devonshire should be President of the
Royal Agricultural Society for the year 1870, when
the show is to be held in Oxford, urged, as one of his
Grace's qualifications, that he was one of the first
mathematicians and scholars that CambridgeUniver-
say had ever produced. The head of the Cavendishes
is a large landowner,' and, as such, is well qualified
for the post to which he has just been unanimously
elected; but we do not see how his having been a
Cantab, a second wrangler senior Smith's Prizeman,
and first-class el,ssie, lit him especially for presiding
over an assembly of agriculturists.
