TRAMWAYS OF LONDON.

Tramways are now likely to be tried in the metro-
Polls, and there are hopes that we shall soon be rid
of the uneasy, iincomfortable, jolting, close omnibus.
Several companies are applying to Parliament for
leave to lay down lines, and once successful in the
metropolis, it will hardly be long before tramways
will be adopted in the provinces. Indeed, the line
has rather marched from the provinces to the
metropolis, as several of the Midland and Northern
towns have tried different systems, and we
believe the one in use at Birkenhead has proved
successful. According to the Daily News, this is the
plan which is to be carried out in the south of London.
It has succeeded at Copenhagen, and is being laid
down in Brussels, so that there is ground for believ-
ing that it will answer. The rail proposed
is three and a half inches in width, and laid
exactly flush with the surface of the street ;
the spaces between the rails as well as a
strip beyond their outer edge being pitched with
the ordinary paving stones. The portion of the
street thus pitched is to be completely open to the
use of the public as at present, but to be kept in
repair by the Tramway Company. The omnibus wic
be more roomy inside, will be better ventilated,
and contain doors at both ends, so that not much
crushing will be needed to leave the 'bus. The
fares will be about half those of the omnibuses.

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE 'UNITED STATES.

General Shenck's measure for the redemption of the
Five-Twenty Bonds in gold has produced a good effect
upon the London Stock Exchange. Different versions of
is terms, however, have come to hand. If payment in
gold is to be postponed until the values of coin and green-
backs are equal, that is, until gold has fallen to par, the
redemption of the Five-Twenties may, as we stated
yesterday, be postponed indefinitely. But if, according
to another account, the payment of the principal is not to
take :lace before maturity, unless the currency is pre-
viously of the same value as coin, the bonds in the worst
event must be paid in gold thirteen years hence, the date
when they arrive at maturity. Everything depends upon
the success of the party which favours the contraction of
the paper currency. As to the Ten-Forty Bonds, their
redemption in gold was specially provided for, but they do
not exceed the value of 40 millions sterling. A decided
rise in Five-Twenties has been the effect of General
Schenk's measure.

MISPLACED SARCASM.

A correspondent of the Standard writes, " For
quiet sarcasm commend me to Sir J. Hay's motion,
viz., ' Rule of the Road at Sea.' Sir J. Hay gave
notice that he would, on Friday next, call the atten-
tion of the House to the rule of the road at sea, and
that he would put a question to the right hon. gentle-
man the President of the Board of Trade upon the
subject. Fancy the right hon. President of the
Board of Trade undergoing an examination in naval
matters ! His is, indeed, a hard case ; after ruining his
family by his patriotism, to be sent to sea at his time
of life." The correspondent forgets that neither of
the two last Presidents of the Board of Trade, Sir
Stafford Northcote and Mr. Cave, were brought up
to the sea. Both were landsmen. It is usual for
both parties to appoint landsmen to this post. It is
not unusual to appoint landsmen—Mr. Corry and Sir
John Pakington to wit—to the far more nautical post
of First Lord of the Admiralty.

(From the Musical Standard.)

The theatre at Cologne has been destroyed by fire, and
nine persons have unfortunately perished. The house
has only been built ten years, replacing one also burnt.
At the approaching Great Rhine Musical Festival, they
announce for performance Handel's "Joshua," a cantata
of Bach's, the second part of Haydn's "Seasons," and
Mendelssohn's "Lobgesang."
The performances of the Italian Opera Company in the
new theatre of the Viceroy at that ancient city, Cairo, are
very frequent and successful. The Italian opera seems to
have acquired a footing both in Turkey and Egypt.

THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS,
A. most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress 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 CO, 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 inters: purchaser

THE COURT.

Her Majesty has gone back to Windsor. Describing
her departure from Osborne, the Court Newsman, writing
from Portsmouth says : "The Queen and Prince Leopold,
with the household and suite, embarked on board the
Alberta at Osborne, and proceeded direct to the special
platform at the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard, where
the party were met bythe officials of the port and garrison;
and her Majesty was, as has been her custom since the death
of the Prince Consort, habited in mourning attire but was
unveiled, thus affording the few who were permitted to
witness her disembarkation an opportunity of detecting a
decided improvement in appearance since the stay of the
Royal Family at Osborne. The unusually high tide which
prevailed completely flooded the line of rails on which
the train was stationed to considerable dspth, and it
became necessary to provide planks on which the Royal
party could walk to the saloon. This circumstance was an
evident source of amusement to the younger members of
the Royal Family, and more than once her Majesty
laughed at the novelty of her position in finding herself
seated in a train surrounded by water. There was no
delay in the arrangements, however, and the train selected
to convey the Royal party to Windsor left shortly before
mid-day. It was generally observed that Prince Leopold
appeared to be weak and somewhat prostrated, but it was
nevertheless reported that his health had very much
improved during the week. "

The Lancet has the following on the health of the
Prince:--" We are glad to be able to give a very good
account of the health of Prince Leopold. His Royal
Highness, as is well known, has exhibited at different
times a disposition to loss of blood from the mucuous
membranes. The Prince was seized with another attack
on Thursday afternoon, the 18th inst. Dr. Hoffmeister
was soon in attendance, and remained all night
at Osborne. Sir William Jenner arrived early next
morning from town, and under his charge the Prince has
progressed most favourably, and is at the present time
quite convalescent. It is very satisfactory to be able to
add that on this occasion there was far less cause for
anxiety than existed last year. This, together with the
consideration that during the past twelvemonth his Royal
Highness's health has materially improved in every way,
affords reasonable ground for believing that the tendency
to h:emorrhage has lessened, and may continue to decrease
in the future. Of course some anxiety must necessarily
still continue to exist."

GREECE.

The Trieste Gazette says that the Zaimis Ministry has
already attained great popularity. All warlike preparations
have been given up, and the Government is preparing to
ameliorate the internal condition of the country. One of
the most pressing needs is the extinction of brigandage
which is now so common as to completely subvert
industry. The Government intends employing the regular
army in this work, instead of the irregular troops, who
were too prone to eke out a precarious subsistence bytaking
to brigandage.
Notes and manifestoes in endless profusion are poured
forth by the Greek Ministers and diplomatists. But they
contain nothing beyond the old story of the wrongs of
Greece and the pressure. of the Powers.

THAMES.

SINGULAR RECOGNITION.—Mary Smith, a well-fed fat
woman, who owned to 43, but is evidently :many years
older, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget,
charged with stealing 21bs of mutton, the property of
Mr. George Monkton, butcher, of 269, Whitechapel-road.
On Friday afternoon, the 19th inst., Mr. Monkton had
just driven up to his house with his horse and chaise, when
he saw the prisoner leaving the shop with a piece of mut-
ton in her hand. He at once recognized her as a person
who had been convicted and sentenced to one month s
imprisonment and hard labour for stealing 61bs. of pork
from his shop in August, 1867. Ho at once laid hold
of her, and said " You have stolen that mutton," to which
she replied, "No, I have not." The shopman, who had
turned his back for a moment, said the meat had not been
sold, and she was given into custody.
The former conviction was formally proved against her,
and it was stated she had been in custody on other occa-
sions for stealing butchers' meat.
Prisoner—l will plead guilty ; settle it at once, sir.
Mr. Paget—No, I will not ; you are an old offender, and
will go before a jury for trial.

A FLOWER-GIRL BRIGADE.

The daily papers being just now open to offers
of all kinds, they teem with correspondence contain-
ing- suggestions good, bad, and indifferent. Out of a
mess of proposals, one by a correspondent of the
Daily Te'eyraph deserves notice. Ile asks those who
are wont to expend their surplus energies in writing
letters to the papers to help towards the formation
of a metropolitan flower girl brigade. As in one
direction City Arabs of the dirtiest class have been
turned into neat, comparatively clean, and decidedly
useful members of society, so he would turn another
section into something other than miserable, raged,
untidy, police-hunted creatures. 'The boys have been
shewn the way to work, taught to respect themselves,
and lept from degradation by being made shoe-
bl tells. Why, then, should not the girls be given a
dress, made to look happy, and go forth known.
as flower-sellers They now make benevolent men,
whenever they want an ornament for their button-
hole, sad and uneasy, for they look degraded and
unhappy. Taking the lowest, the selfish ground—it
would be good to turn these into " ornaments of
London."

FOREIGN NOTES.

E7IIGRATION TO CANADA.

The Canadians seem pretty well satisfied with the quality
of the emigrants we have been at such pain 9, to send out
to them; but in respect of quantity the supply is deplorably
insufficient. Notwithstanding thelarge numbers of work-
people who have gone to Canada during the past few
month; the demand is still as great as ever. The emigra.
tion agent at Toronto says there are fifty applicants for
every man who arrives. "At any hour of the day when
one happens to drop into the Emigration Office," says the
Toronto Globe, "he is pretty certain to find one or more
disappointed farmers anxiously asking when any more will
arrive ; and letters are continually being received eagerly
enquiring for hands."
London, England, 1869-08-11

THE CARLISTS.

Another centre of the insurrection has been formed in
the environs of Ramales. The movement has spread
rapidly in Castile, and the agitation has increased in
importance in Leon, and thus it appears probable that
the Carlist forces in La Mancha will soon have direct
lines of communication with the sea. A battalion of
Chasseurs from Barcelona has gone over to the Carlists in
La Mancha. Calatrava's regiment has declared itself
Carlist, and, according to some accounts, it has been
surrounded and the whole regiment captured, while others
say that it has gone over to the insurgents. General
Prim intends to change the officers of the Civil Guard as
quickly as possible, in consequence of the sympathy they
have shewn with the Carlist movement.

THE FENIANS IN NEW YORK.

The Fenians, notwithstanding the collapse of their
schemes, are still busy in New York ; and although they
are by no means formidable in numbers or character, they
are able to do mischief by enticing the newly-arrived
Irish emigrants to join them. A pub'ic meeting
with this object has just been held at the Garryowen
Circle. Several of the principal Fenians delivered
addresses, and united in advising Irishmen not to be
"humbugged" by the disestablishment of the Irish
Church, which, however, they declared to be the
first great triumph of the Brotherhood. The usual
diatribes against England were indulged in, and it was
stated that during the last outbreak in Ireland a Fenian
ship, loaded with arms, lay about the coast for twenty
days, and afterwards returned to America. No immediate
action was talked of, but a great many Irish emigrants
were present, and twelve new members joined the Circle.
In the trial for the 20,000 dols. gold which the Fenians
under O'Mahony have claimed from Belmont and Co., a
fresh difficulty has arisen, A Mr. Bailey, described as a
holder of several Fenian bonds, has obtained an injunc-
tion from the Superior Court forbidding the payment of
the money by Messrs. Belmont until the bonds arc re-
deemed. The Fenians are not to be allowed to repudiate
their debt.
London, England, 1869-08-11

A 'MODEL VOLUNTEER CORPS.

The 4th Middlesex Artillery is in a curious plight.
It was formed about two years ago, and mustered
some 130 strong. But one commander gave offence
at the War Office, and was ordered to resign ;
another resigned without ordering; and a third
thought it best that the corps should merge itself
in the 3rd Middlesex, and give up its separate
existence. In order to secure this consummation
Captain A'Beckett, the third commander, who
appears to have inherited the mantle of his
great namesake, went and did duty with the 3rd
Middlesex. The result is that the 4th have had
no drill; the Government guns are rusting, and the
Government harness rotting in a livery stable; the
carbines are scattered all over London; the members
of the corps have not been inspected this year, and
have therefore lost the capitation grant ; and the
debt is gradually increasing, without any means of
paying it. The mystified members have met and
passed divers resolutions, censuring the 'War Office
for removing Commander No. 1, requesting Captain
A'Beckett to resign, and resolving to break up the
corps if he does not.

THE CHIEF COX STIR OP TILE

NA VY.

Mr. E. J. Reed, C. 8., the Chief Constructor of the
Navy, is ill from the result of his close attention to his
duties at Whitehall, and has gone to Paris, where he will
remain for several weeks. Within the last few days the
Lords of the Admiralty have forwarded two letters to Mr.
Reed, in which theirlordships express their unqualified satis-
faction with the result of the recent performances, under
steam, of the ironclad turret ship Monarch, 7, 1,100 horse-
power, just completed at Chatham, and the Inconstant,
iron wood-cased frigate, built at Portsmouth. Their lord-
ships have likewise informed Mr. Reed that in conse•
quence of the great saving to the country which has
resulted from the adoption of his system of constructing
ironclads, and as a "nark of the value they attach to his
services, they have been pleased, . with the full concur-
rence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Trea-
sury, to increase his salary by £5OO, making it £1,700 pet
annum.

THE NEW BISHOP OF SALISBURY.

Dr. Moberly has accepted Mr. Gladstone's nomi-
nation to the See of Salisbury, and thus a sound
and moderate appointment has characterised the
Premier's first exercise of high ecclesiastical patron-
age. The Telegraph thinks the choice does credit to
the judgment of the Prime Minister, and will,
doubtless, give general satisfaction. Dr. Moberly is
understood to be a sound but moderate High Church-
man, and one " who is free from all Ritualistic ten-
dencies."
