VIBBATBNINO A P.RIESt

The oispenents of Fenianism and extravagarir deininds
for the tenants, are retaliating upon the tenant-right
advocates. The Rev. Mr. Doyle, P.P., cf Wexford, is re-
ported to have received the following letter, bearing the
London postmark. It is so shockingly virulent that
doubt has been thrown upcn its authenticity :
" Rev. Sir,—We have read with interest of a peculiar
kind the enclosed account of a speech that you lately
delivered at a tenant-right meeting at Enniscorthy. Now
carefully mark the following, and read it to the end. Your
speeches and actions, as well as Lord Granard's and
Mitchel's, will for the future be carefully watched, and
not quite in the spirit you expect, peel:ens. Should any
assassination be traced, however so slightly, to any one of
you three, the fate of two of you will be settled—yours
first, as the bloody instigator of a dastardly crime, and the
actual perpetrator. A man will be told oil especially,by a
society existing in the mother country, which by the aid of
both power and capital will carry wet more than empty
threats. ..ould there even be the slightest de• •on the
occasion of a poor' agent being murdered as to who was the
instigator of the vile plot, one of you three b— scum will
be sent to from behind a hedge. We are forced to em-
plcy your own cowardly means. Therefore if any one is as-
sassinated, we recommend you to confess (heaven save the
mark) chat blasted wretch Lord Granard, and carefully think
over the many poor men you yourself have robbed, quiet-
ing your conscience (if you have any) that your Church
required it. If true Irishmen knew the loathsome vapours
and the hellish deceit that your breed carry about with
them under the guise of a long coat, they would rid the
country of such a pestilence. As it is, you acquired a
power over these poor ignorant men, and cause them to
commit actions which you yourself shrank from with
abject fear. The next time you move your foul lips to de-
liver a cowardly lecture like the enclosed, you had better
mind who is in the room. The matter was in our hands a
few hours afterwards !! ! Now beware. Remember, that
among your own congregation there may be those who,
though as great hypocrites awl consummate actors as your-
self, may yet by our means be the very ones to betray any
of your vile doings and sentiments. It will be a charity
to him should you warn that skulking Yankee Fenian
John Mitchel, that his advent to Ireland will be communi-
cated to us without fail. Were it in our power we should
dearly like to confine the three of you to rot in holes
excavated especially for the purpose under your own native
bogs, from which you would some day be dug out as so
many lumps of --- : but for the present (should justice
demand it) a speedier death will be yours; and we must
employ your own favourite plan, and descend to the rank
of a Roman Catholic assassin ! We now, in deep disgust,
take our leave of you, as far as this epistle goes. Our lan-
guage, though forcible, is just. Remember and beware.

TILE TURCO-EGYPTIAN QUESTION'.

The North-East Correspondence publishes some despatches
relating to the Egyptian question. It appears that the
last firrnan which was sent to the Khedive alludes to the
principles which were laid down in the previous treaties
and firmans. The rules referred to have especial reference to
the control of the Budgetby the Porte, and its right to settle
what loans are contracted. There iF, no menace in the Imperial
Message, but the Viceroy is requested to regulate his con-
duct by the wishes of his Sovereign. The Turquie main-
tains that the Viceroy is displaying great activity, and
is exerting himself to complete his armaments, as well as
to fortify his position. The Levant Herald calls upon the
Turkish Government to act with firmness, and to depose
the Viceroy if ho will not submit to its decisions. The
Russian Consul at Cairo has, it is rumoured, assured the
Khedive that the Government cf St. Petersburg will
support him in any emergency which may at i.;e, and
maintain the same attitude which it held in the Crete
affair.

Monday afternoon. She
the daughter of Prince Leopold of Salerno.
Her maiden title was Mario Caroline
Bourbon. In 1844 she married
Auguste do
the Due D'Amnale, the fourth son of Louis-
Philippe, and has had two sons—the Prince de Condo,
born in 1845, and the Due de Guise, born in 1854. Her
husband was the
author of the famous pamphlet ad-
dressed to Prince Napoleon, -which created such sen-
sation in 1861. He is the heir of the house of Condo,
and for some years has been settled in Warwickshire
as a landowner.

FOREIGN NOTES.

Tim POSITION SPAIN.

The Siatteutsche Tresse, noticing the return of some of
the Republican deputies to the Spanish Cortes, says
they are actuated by a firm conviction that the establish-
ment of a republic in Spain is at hand. The Duke of
Genoa fiasco has given the Progressists a bitter
prvoL ,e ‘ueir mebnitv king on
the throne, and they now seek only a suitable pretext for
pronouncing in favour of a republic. The more moderate
Republicans see that their time of triumph is approaching.
But another section of the party is opposed to compro-
mise, and would adopt a more irreconcilable policy. The
Republican deputies have been absent from the Cortes
since the outbreak of the late insurrection.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
TOPHAH V. THE DUKE OF PORTLAND.

There were two appeals from the decision of Vice.
Chancellor James, both of which had reference to
appointments made by the present Duke of Port-
land as joint trustee with his brothers of a fund
of £32,000 and an annuity of £2,000 a year, left
by the late duke for the benefit of his daughters
Lady Harriett Beutinck and Lady Mary Topham.
The latter was not married until after the
decease of her father, who was averse to her
union with Sir William Topham. Lord Henry
Bentinck and the late Lord George Bentinck were
joined in the trusteeship with the present Duke.
The trust was subject to certain restrictions, the
object of which was to prevent the marriage. The
Lord Chancellor went through the proceedings be-
fore the Lords Justices and House of Lords, theresult
of which in the latter was to set aside the appoint-
ments previously made by the Duke, who then
made two other appointments in favour of Lady
Harriett, from which an appeal was now made. It
was contended in support of the rights of the dake
to make the appointments now in dispute that ho
was merely giving effect to the wishes of his father,
the donee, in reference to Lady Mary Tophaw.
Their lordships decided to-day that the duke's ap-
pointments were invalid, and dismissed the appeal
with costs.

LAND TENURE IN ENGLAND.

The rapidity with which the agitation for land-law
changes is passing from Ireland to England becomes
more and more remarkable. A very strong meeting
of the Farmers' Club had the matter under considera-
tion on Monday night—the Islington Cattle Show
bringing together a large number of agriculturalists.
Mr. 3lasfen, of Wolverhampton, read a paper setting
forth that farmers had to spend more and more
money in steam power, artificial foods, and
manures. This increased amount of capital
invested in the land ought to give the occupier
greater rights. In Mr. Masfen's opinion there ought
to be no restriction on the course of cropping, so
long as a man kept his farm clean, and the land was
in good condition to grow a fair crop. The existing
agreements did not allow a just return for the
capital invested in the land when farms
were vacated through death or other causes.
le was strongly in favour of leases, as tending to
protect the tenant and secure increased production ;
but he was rather inclined to prefer the action of
public opinion to the action of the Legislature. But
such was not the opinion of many others. The gene-
ral feeling was that there ought to be leases or a right
to compensation for improvements, and it was held
that the latter, at least, ought to be a legal right.

of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective inTention in

spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
"soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
sit., resisting power is supplied by the Iloc-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and clesents:.4 that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A

TILE HEALTII OF TILE PRIMATE.

tinued progress in health of the Archbishop of Can-
terbury. lle i 4 still very weak ; one side of his body
is still more or less paralysed ; but he has bcon able

wait, and wait, it is to be feared, a long time.

EAST LONDON RAILWAY.

Another link in the chain of metropolitan railways
has been completed. A section of the East London
line has been opened. This new line is remarkable
chiefly for the employment of the Thames Tunnel
as a means of railway communication between the
densely populous districts of Wapping on the north,
and Rotherhithe and Deptford on the south side of
the river. The line extends in full from New-cross,
where it will join the Brighton and South-Eastern
systems, to Broad-street, at which junction it will be
connected with the Great Eastern and North London
railw present the completed portion
ay s. A t
extends from 'Wapping through the Thames
Tunnel to Rotherhitho, Deptford-road, and New-
cross, a distance of three miles, or one-half of the
whole.

RED DIVER REBELLITS.

The Red River insurgents have adopted a system of
passes, and keep a rigid surveillance. They have taken
possession of the Hudson Ray Con:rally's store, and serve
out supplies to themselves freely. They compelled the
printers of the Ncr- wester, at the muzzle of the musket,
to print the rebel pi-cell:illation. A Fenian priest is said
to be exciting the insurgents. A Red River trading-house
st St. Paul learns that there is a strong organisation, in-
:luding many half-breeds, awaiting a suitable opportunity
to declare in favour of Governor McDougall.

Southwark, and by eliminating the weaker
aspirants to prevent the success of a Conser-
vative. Sir Sydney dee3 not seem dis-
posed, however, to try. the experiment at once,
l 'A-lien the proper time arrives." Remembering
our "
experience of parliamentary pledges to support
certain measures " when the proper time arrives," this
qualification looks dubious. Mr. Labouchere is much
more explicit. He wishes the whole body of Southwark
electors, rich and poor, working men and employers,
to decide which of the Liberals now in the field is to
be the candidate of the whole party. If he should
be left in a minority, he promises to retire and do his
best for the chosen competitor. Mr. Labouchere
(who is a follower of Bright and Mill) is convinced
that if the system of class candidates be adopted by
the Liberals, there will always be a Conservative ma-
jority in Parliament..

THE SPANISH GUNBOATS.

The Spanish gunboat question is exciting the deepest
nterest at Washington. It is rumoured that the Spanish
Consul will not be able to get the gunboats out of New
York harbour before tl.e meeting of Congress. Special
tgents from Madrid are assisting the Consul, and it is evi-
-lent that the Spanish Government are determined to get
possession of their vessels. Tho opinion expressed in
•iiplomatic circles is that there are insufficient grounds for
letention in the represcntaticns of the Peruvian
Ilinibtor, and that the Spanish gunboats will
le released and allowed to leave the country.
On the ether hand it is asserted that both Houses
)f Congrcs3 will pass a resolution in favour of the recog-
nition of the Cuban Republic, and if the gunboats are still

in New York, they must be detained, for the neutrality
taws forbid either party in a war in which their bellige-
rent rights are admitted to fit out expeditions against the
enemy from neutral ports.

INIEMIAN TREATMENT OF A YOUNG LADY.

We often hear of the grievances of railway pas-
sengers ; the evidence given in a railway compensa-
tion case just heard in the Common Pleas throws a
good deal of light upon the sorrows of railway com-
panics. The plaintiff'
was a young lady, 19 years of
age, the daughter of a Whitechapel beershop-keeper,
who entertains sailors, cashes advance notes, besides
other and kindred business. The collision took place
at New Cross on the 23rd of June, and it was affirmed
that the plaintiff had sustained severe injuries to the
spine, and bruises which -bad been productive of
-various serious symptoms. The doctor who attended
her claimed £220, his charge for one clay being £2 Bs.
Over and above these injuries, the concussion, it was
said, caused the young lady to lose a purse containing
£l5. Thetestimony on behalf of the company went to
shew that Miss Harris came home after the collision
declaring, how greatly she bad enjoyed herself at the
Crystal Palace, whither she had been, and how much
champagne she had disposed of. The next mornii:g
sho paid a visit and made her bed. On the following
days she washed the children, made more beds, waited
upon sailors, and sang comic songs to them. She
put her finger down her throat four times, said
one witness, in order to make herself sick. Her
injuries did not prevent her disposing of the usual
quantum of food. Instead of having fifteen pounds
in her purse, she took out with her on the day of the
accident no more than 4s. ed. Such evidence as this,
together with medical testimony, induced the jury to
regard the plaintiff's claim as an imposture, and to
return a verdict for the company. The worst feature
of these cases is the readiness with which medical
men come forward and represent black as white.

SO TjTHWAILIi.

Lieutenant-Colonel Beresford has issued his address
as the Conservative candidate for this much-coveted
seat. He comes forward as a local and constitutional
candidate. He will support the best scheme of edu-
cation that can be devised, no matter by what
Administration ; be is in favour of equalising the metro-
politan poor-rates, awl will give his careful considera-
tion to the land difficulty. As to the policy of the Liberal
Government, Colonel Beresford thinks it has utterly
broken down. He sums up the net results of Mr.
Gladstone's rule thus:-64 We see Ireland in a
state of revolt, the colonies discontented, and the
empire about to be reduced to a kingdom ; five guar-
-ten of taxes to be paid in one year, at a period when
a large portion or the reepayers are, from the state
of trale, less able to afford it ; pauperism rife through-
out the country, and daily increasing ; a penny-wise
and pound-foolish policy of cheeseparing, adopted at
the expense of the Government clerks and dockyard
labourers."

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

MORTOMORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are eon&
N'S
dontly recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we aro subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
palled 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 cir-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear 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.

LOUD NAPIER OF MAGDALA.

Lprd Napier of Magdala is still something of a
lion. Returning, after a visit to India, he again
finds himself fked. On Monday night he was enter-
tained at dinner in the metropolis by the officers of
the 3rd City of London Volunteers, of which corps
his lordship is honorary colonel. Tho speeches were
in no respect above the ordinary "platitudinarian" kind.
Lord Napier complimented the young volunteers, and
said they " found alt the more favour in the bright
eyes which they wished to please from the
fact that they had a military bearing." He
drew attention, with surprising originality, to the fact
(when will speechmakers be content to acknowledge
it and let it pass ?) that in this country it is hard to
point out where the middle class ends and the gentry
laegins. Then he paid some particular compliments to
the company and the corps it represented ; and con-
cluded by an appeal for breechloaders for our soldiers.
The Government, in refusing the superior weapon to
the volunteers, was) his lordship said, with some con-
fusion of metaphor) like a commander whose men
had no powder.

NEWSPAPER PRESS FUND.—At a meeting of the
committee on Saturday last it was stated that Mr. G.
Tomlino, M.P., has had engraved Murillo's picture of the
"Pool of Bethesda," and has presented the plate to the
society. It is intended to devote the proceeds of the gift
to a fund to be called the " Tomlin° Fund." At the meet-
ing two cases of distressed members were investigated, and
a liberal grant was made in each instance.

One of the most attractive stalls in the Agricul-
tural Hall at the present time is that of Mr. Van Stan, who
exhibits such a beautiful display of alumni= gold jewel-
lery that scarcely one admirer passes it without making a
purchase. Mr. Van Stan has long supplied the public
wi% the most beautiful articles at the Polytechnic Insti-
tution, and his success has called up a number of imita-
tors, but his productions still outrival all others for taste
and elegance.

The United States' screw corvette Plymouth, 18
guns, Capt. W. 11. Macomb, arrived at Spithead
on Saturday from Marseilles, and on Monday went
into Portsmouth at high water to fill up with coals.
In steaming up the Solent from the Needles, in
charge of a local pilot, the Plymouth took the
ground twice off Newtown, owing to the thick
weather prevailing at the time, but she remained on
the ground only a short time, and sustained no
damage. It had been understood that the Ply-
mouth was to sail in company with her Majesty's
ship Monarch for Madeira and the United States
on the morning of the 9th inst., but her present
sailing orders are for the 11th inst., and then it is
thought probable she may return to the Mediter-
ranean, in Iku of accompanying the Monarch, as
had been original), arranged.
During the recent journey of the Empress of
the French to the East her Majesty paid a visit to
the Indian relief screw troop transport Malabar
at Suez, and was c inducted over the ship by her
commander, Captain Frederick D. Rich. As an
acknowledgment of Captain Rich's attention on
the occasion the Empress has presented that offi-
cer with a handsome scarf pin, set with diamonds
and black pearls. The jewel is at present in the
possession of the Commodore of the station, Sir
Leopold heath, pending the arrival out of the
permission of the Admiralty for Captain Rich to
accept it.

THE KELLY DIVORCE CAUSZ

In the Divorce Court, on Tuesday, Lord Penzance gave
judgment in the cause of " Kelly v. Kelly." He was of
opinion that the respondent was guilty of cruelty to his
wife, and treated her more as a slave than his wife. She
was not allowed to be mistress of her own house, and
this in itself was a great grievance to a woman
who had never done aught to deserve such treatment. In
fact, Mr. Kelly treated his wife as if she had been guilty
of adultery. He also used harsh language. The learned
judgo then proceeded to lay down the law as to the
husband's and wife's rights in a clear and forcible
manner. The wife gave up all she pocsesscd pecuniarii}•
and all her civil rights save by using the name of the
husband ; but, on the other hand, she was freed from lia-
bility„ even in cases of great crime where she acted under
his directions. The daily life of Mrs. Kelly had been
almost as bad as if she had been in prison. No
wonder that her health was affected ; and this—
the most important view of the case—was not
denied by the respondent, and had been ampl3
proved by the medical testimony. his lordship, before
pronouncing a judicial separation with costs against the
respondent, added, "It is to a repetition of this conduct
that Mr. Kelly expects the court will order his wife tc
return. Such a view of its duties would be discreditable
to the court, for the first duty of a matrimonial court i:,
the protection of a wife's health and interests. The respon-
dent invokes the authority of the law that the wife shall
be subject to her husband, but he forgets to add, 'in all
things reasonable."

THE ACCIDENT AT KING'S COLLEGE.

The Daily Xczc draws a moral from the falling in
of King's College dining-hall roof, through the weak-
ness of the cast-iron girders which upheld it. Cast-
iron ought not to be made use of in any such
capacity. The weight upon the girders appears to
Lave been dangerously near the full strength of
the treacherous material of which they were made.
A slight shake from a passing truck snapping one
girder would at once throw a breaking strain on all
the rest, and they would go down like so many
laths. The walls are said to be perfectly firm
and solid, Lut the cast-iron supports were laud
across from one to the other, and every girder has
snapped in two. "It is a matter of public thankful-
ness that the accident beppened when the hall was
empty ; but the warning it gives of the treacherous
nature of cast-iron is one which it would be well for
the public to ponder. There are many architects who
have long predicted serious calamities from the
injudicious use of this material in building."

CUBA.

It is reported from Habana that an attempt has been
made to incite the regrces to rebellicn on the plantations
of Sagua. The plot was discovered, and the ringleaders
arrested and put to death. The latest intelligence received
at Washington shews the Cuban cause to he declining, for the
.nsurgents are not in possession of a single town. Spanish
accounts affirm that General Jordan wished some time ago
to surrender to the Spanish authorities. The Cubans pre-
vented him from accomplishing his wish, and he was
transferred to the staff of Cespedes. Favourable reports
liave been received concerning the reception by Congress
of the memorial that relates to the recognition of Cuba.

On the Continent the malady would seem to be

SEWAGE.

The members of the Surveyors' Institute have con-
tinued their debate on the sewage utilisation ques-
tion. All the speakers seemed to agree that the
fertilisation of the soil was the proper destiny for
sewage ; the only disputed point was as to whether
it should be conveyed to the laud in a liquid form, on
the irrigation system, as at Barking, or whether it
should be applied in a solid form on the earth-closet
system. Mr. Johnson advocated one separate outfall
for rain and " slops" generally, and another for
house sewa..o. Mr. Buchanan saw no reason why
water should be the only means of removal employed.
The dry earth system would be most useful for this
purpose, as it produced a dry manure, which was no
more offensive in transit than guano. Mr. Ryde, on
the other hand, held very strong opinions in favour
of the irrigation plan. Ho had tried earth-closets
for two :years, and bad removed them all and substituted
water-closets. Mr. Beadel, too, infinitely preferred the
application of sewage to land in a fluid form. Mr.
Squarey, as a practical agriculturist, recommended
that the sewage manure should be applied exclusivelyto green land, as being too stimulating for cereals.

Bennett held the same view. The Institute resolved
