DISMISSAL OF MR. ED IVARDS, THE OFFICIAL

ASSIGNEE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—THIS DAY.
(Before Mr. Cotemi,zsioner Holroyd.)

His Honour, on taking his seat, said—ln the case of
Mr. Edwards, it becomes my I aid ul duty to announce
the dismissal of Mr. Edwards from the office of official
assignee by order of the Lord Chancellor, which I received
yesterday. The reasons for such dismissal are fully set
forth in the order which the registry of the court wil
now record.

Mr. Registrar S. Price then read the order of the Lord
Chancellor. He recited the Bth section of the Bank-
ruptcy Act of 1861, whcreby official assignees are for-
bilden to hold any other office of employment, or
follow any business, on pain of dismissal-also the
122 d of the rules and orders made in pursuance of the Act
of 1840; it then recited that Mr. Edwards bad, notwith-
standing such rule, entered into an agreement with the
then house of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to act for them
in all matters in which they might require his advice
and assistance in cocsideration of a payment of a sum
of £5,000 a year for five years from 1863 to '6B; also that
the said Edwards had received £20,000 from the sail firm,
partly in pursuance of the said agreement, and partly, as
he alleged, in consequence of the agreement not being
carried into effect. After reciting the present Lord Chau-
cell r's letter to Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, of the 29th
of January Jest, directing an inquiry to be made, and
Mr. Edwards's statement in answer thereto, the order
p-oceeded—" Now, therefore, I do hereby, -and from th
date of this order, dismiss the said Edward Watkins
Edwards from the office of official assignee, in considera-
tion of his deliberate violation of the 122 d rule above re-
ferred to.-HATHERLEY, Feb. 27, 1869."
His Honour said the order of dismissal would be forth-
with sent by the Regisrtar to Mr. Edwards.

KITTY. By M. Betham-Edwards, " Author of
" Dr. Jacob," &c. 3 Vols.—lt is long since we have read
such a thoroughly fascinating story as this. it possesses
the charm of deep and well-sustained interest of origi-
nality, and of really good writing. We have seldom met
with much better delineations of character. Each indi-
vidual is a perfect study, and causes us to wonder at
and admire the author's knowledge of human nature and
her cleverness at so vividly imparting it. The conversa-
tional parts, too, are admirable, piquant, but thoroughly
natural. We heartily recommend our readers to make
Kitty's acquaintance, and assure them a great pleasure in
the perusal of her strange history."—Obserrer.
THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.—
A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progresii of watch and
clock makin has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint-
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly
recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser
LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A

Joseph H. Buckingham, of Lancaster, New
Hampshire, has purchased the entire tawnship of Dix
vine, partly for the sake of its abundant timber, and
partly for the purpose of erecting a hotel to accommodate
those who wish to visit the superb natural scenery of that
region. A Nashua teamster named Allen, who invested a
few dollars some years ago in California land, is having it
returned to him multiplied into thousands by the advanced
value of real estate.

We take the following curious extract from " Trench's
History of Ireland" to show how property can rise in
value:—" Farming in Ireland, Co. Monaghan.-1576.
Course pasturage and low alder scrub.-1606. Commission
of Assize land, to be guarded by abt 130 horse and
foot. Rental £250 per An. N. 13. payle in Dublin! !

£40,000; population, 44,107 ; extent of land, 67,353 acres ;
church land rent, £6,395.—Total rent, £46,395.
The erection of the new theological building at
Yale College will begin next spring upon the lot owned
by the corporation, on the corner of Elm and College
streets, New Haven. California's population is only
one-fourth female. In Nevada there are eight
men to one woman ; and in Colorado twenty to one.
Strangers coming to America from Europe are said to be
struck with the size and stateliness of the American car-
riage horses, which in these particulars excel those of
Loudon and Paris. But the saddle horses are generally
nferior to those of Europe.
The value of the telegraph has just beau illus-
trated in tian Francisco, where a "sneak thief" China•
man escaped on board the Pacific mail steamer to Hong-
kong. Telegrams were, however, sent by the robbed
ioeuri the world from San Francisco, via New York,
L ndon, and Ceylon to Hongkong to have him arrested.
At Sitka, Messrs. P,ocopi Kiokak and Komol-
pechusattrigeo are Justices of the Peace.
On the sth inst. a number of persons, including
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, were injured by a train running
off the track of the Lackawama and Bloomsburg Railroad,
at Beach Haven. Mr. Grew was severely burned.
The _Newspaper Press Fund manageta evidently
do not read the American papers, or they would not so
confidently announce that Mr. Reverdy Johnson, as Ame-
rican Envoy, will preside at their anniversary dinner at
Willis' Rooms on the sth June.
In September next a great national exhibition of
horticulture will take place at Hamburg. A committee
has been already formed.

11E1? MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, Feb. 28.

THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH.

in the habit of ascribing articles to the wrong man ;
but in fact this is what he says. Now comes the
main point. "No periodical exists in which I have
reviewed Mr. Surtees and Dean Stanley and Par-
son." Surely this is a paltry kind of evasion. The
pciut is not whether Mr. Freeman has written dis-
paraging articles ag .iust Mr. Surtees, Dean Stan-
ley, and Mr. Pearson in one periodical, but whe-
ther he has written them. The escape by aceumu-
-1 ttion is no escape.
Mr. Freeman app as to nurse some spite against
Mr. Pearsou's name. He speaks of Mr. " Pear-
son's Early and Middle Ages.' ". He puts Mr.
Pearson into the plural number, as though.he were
the Siamese twins, and he denies him the kindly
use of the possessive case. This latter slip may be
due to ignorance of grammar, not infirmity of
In fact, I am sure it is so, from evidence
supplied by the following sentences, " That arti-
cle,' says Mr. Freeman," appeared in the Fortnightly
Il.ecieit;, and as, like all other articles in that Re-
view, it had my name attached to it."--Do all the
articles in the Fortnightly Review bear Mr. Free-
man's name ? The articles which I have read with
pleasure in that periodical Lore the names of
Thomas Huxley, John Morley, and John Tyndall.
" My withers were quite unstrung !" cries Mr. Free-
man. What does he fancy his withers are ? Does
he think that his fiddle-strings are his withers?
Shakespeare, I believe, wrote "our withers are
unwrung," which is both good English and good

There are higher beauties yet in ;this brief text
The word it is the weakest word in our English
speech, and the frequent presence of this word in
any writing is the sign of a feeble style. Read-this
gas_age : " it had my name attached to it, it is
neither necessary nor possible to make any mystery
about it." What is meant by " Mr. Pearson wrote
a pamphlet, which Mr. Surtees also quotes?" Is it
meant that Mr. Surtees wrote the pamphlet ? If
not, why say so ? Again, Mr. Freeman says, "I
never cursed Mr. Pearson, or reviewed him, or said
anything about Mr. Pearson." Even this example
is not the best. "As neither Mr. Pearson nor Mr.
Surtees quotes the words of this weekly Caliban, I
cannot identify him, save negatively, by saying it
is not 1." Him is not it—it is not I. Here is a
grace beyond the reach of art.

LINDLEY MURRAY.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
Jessie M'Donald was indicted for stealing money and
other property belonging to her master, William Henry
Bridger.

The prisoner was one of the female servants at the
Green Dragon Hotel, Bishopsgate-street, and for
considerable time many of the gentlemen stopping
there had complained to the proprietor of
loosing money and other property from their rooms.
A watch was set upon the servants, and one of the resi-
dents in the hotel, Mr. Pritchard, an inspector of the
London and Provincial Bank, placed some marked money
in his coat pocket prior to putting it in its usual place. On
going to the coat the next morning the money was gone,
and a detective was then called in and a search made, when
the marked coins were found in the prisoner's box.
The jury found her guilty.
The police officer said that on making further examina-
tion he found a gold chain which had been lost same time
ago by another visitor to the hotel, and a variety of mis-
cellaneous property, all of which had been stolen from
gentlemen in the habit of staying at the hotel.
The Recorder sentenced her to 12 months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.

William Rubert Stevenson, a youth about 17 years of
ago, pleaded guilty to three indictments of forgery, and
also to have been previously convicted of felony.
Mr. Lewis said the prisoner had, on the previous con-
viction in May last, been sentenced to t _re° years in a
reformatory, but that punishment was never carried out.
The Recorder—How is that ? send for the Governor.

Mr. Jonas said all he knew of the matter was that the
boy was sent from the Old Bailey to the House of Cor-
rection to undergo a sentence of a months' imprisonment
and three year's in a reformatory.

The Recorder—Well, why was that sentence not car•
ried out?

Mr Jonas —I don't know, as a matter of fact, but I be-
believe the chaplain, after the boy had been in jail the
mouth, reported so highly favourable of the prisoner that
the other part of the sentence was not attended te.

The liecorder—By whose order? Have some inquiry
on the subject, as it appears to be quite useless to sentence
prisoners for punishment which is not carried out.
Mr. Jonas—l don't know, my lord, how it was the sen-
tence in the first case was not carried out. I was sur-
prised to see him again so soon in Nowgate.
The Recorder said it was a very bad case, and ho had
no alternative but to sentence the prisoner to seven years
Ronal sorvitu lc.

REVIEWS AND REVIEWERS.

Upper Court, Feb. 20.
I am glad that for once you have given to the
world a real letter from a censor of books, printed
" word for word and point for point." That letter
from Mr. Edward A. Freeman is a "caution," and
one may be sure that the Calibans of Literature
will in future add to all communications sent to the
public journals the good old postscript, " Please
lick this mattzr into shape." I say nothing of Mr.
Surtees's subject and Mr. Freeman's temper. These
things are beyond me. I am not learned in the
affairs of Earl Godwin and his sons, and do not see
why gentlemen should throw dirt upon each other
because they differ iu opinion about them. lam
only a grammarian, as you may know ; and while
I leave other things alone, I trust you will forgive
my anxiety for the well-being of our English
speech.

L)ok at Mr. Freeman's text. The first sentence
in his letter gives the lie direct to a clergyman and
a geutletnan ; though it does not openly and man-
fully deny the main charge. The second sem-

tence is a jumble which "no fellow can be ex-
pected to understand." I read, "it is generally
thought a gross breach of etiquette to attribute...
and in doing so" Mr. Surtees " has attacked the
wrong man." Doing so ? Doing what? The an-
tecedent is "to attribute." The passage nniy be
taken to mean that the ascription of unsigned arti-
cles in a paper to the writer is a breach of etiquette.
That is an open question. The etiquette is not much
observed ; indeed the signature of an article is only
one of the signs by which a writer is known. Style
is a sign ; and I have heard that in the periodical
press almost every article of note can be traced by
acute persons to its actual source. " Mr. Surtees
has been guilty " of knowing what all the world
knows; and, " as so often happens in so doing, he
has attacked the wrong man." I am pleased to
line that text as it was written. It is a fine
ca tinple of bad English. In the fist place, what is
meant by " so d.Jing" is this connexion? The us 3 of
the participle here is wrong. To say " Mr. Surtees
has been guilty of this breach of etiquette, and, as
often happens in such cases, he has attacked the
wrong man," would be to write good Englizli but
to display bad manners; while to say that " Mr.
Surtees has been guilty of this breach of etiquette,
and, as so often happens in so doing, lie has attacked
the wrong man," is to write that which is both
unmannerly and ungrammatical. In the second
place, this jumble of words suggests a c'iarge which
Mr. Freeman can hardly 'wan to tnak,:% " Mr.
Surtees has been guilty,...and, as often happens in
so doing, he has attacked the wrong man." The
writer can hardly mean to say that Mr. Surtees is
