itu. LORD JUSTICESICIP.

The Standard is informed that the vacant office of
Lord Justice has been pressed on Lord Westbury by
the Government, and that he has refused it. The
offer was made last November, but Lord Westbury de-
clined, on the ground that he was of more public use
in his judicial capacity in the House of Lords.
When the present request was made, his
lordship, not desiring any private consideration
to stand in the way, referred the matter to the Lord
Chancellor promising that if he considered he would
be of more service as Lord Justice he would accept
the office, and that if not, the refusal would rest
solely on public grounds. "It is believed that the
Lord Chancellor, after fully considering the question,
has very recently decided that it would not be for
the public interest that Lord Westbury should be
taken away from the appellate tribunal of the House
of Lords, in which his talents so pre-eminently
beneficial."

THE AVONDALE CATASTROPHE.

A terrible suspicion is gaining ground in America with
respect to the terrible coal mine disaster at Avondale,
Pennsylvania, by which 110 persons lost their lives, and a
whole village was desolated. It is feared that the fire in
the mine was the work of an incendiary. One witness sit
the inquiry said on his oath that he believed t'he
mine was intentionally fired, and several others gave
evidence which proved that the furnace did not
cause the calamity. The opinion of experienced
inspectors is, wo aro sorry to find, in favour of this
painful supposition, but there are so many ways by which
the recklessness so fatally common to minors may have
ignited the wood work of the brattice, independently of the
furnace that we are not yet compelled to accept this solu-
tion of the mystery. Many narrow escapes are recorded.
Two men were saved by a rule of the pit that a man should
forfeit his day's work by being late in the morning.
Another came up the shaft twenty minutes before the
fire. Some fifty Irishmen refused to work that day, in
order to attend an Irish funeral. This accounts for_the
predominance of Welshmen in the pit.

FOUNDE.RING OF A SCREW STEAMER,

Information has been received in South Shields of the
foundering of the screw steamer Norwich, of Sunder-
land. After taking in a cargo of engines and railway
iron for Crmstadt, she left the Tyne Docks, Shields
Harbour, at half-past six o'clock. About four hours
afterwards it was discovered that the sea was rushing
into the vessel by the stoke-hole, and, notwithstanding
every effort was made, the water gained so rapidly that
the steamer showed signs of sinking. The crew, looking
to their safety, launched the two lifeboats, one of which
was stove. Into this boat got the chief mate, Mr. Alder,
of South Shields, and five seamen, and into the other
Captain Noble, of Sunderland, his broker, the second
mate, chief engineer, seven seamen, and five firemen, in all
sixteen. The boats then left the vessel, which at this
time was several miles from Shields. The last view they
obtained of the steamer showed that the lights had
been drowned out, and that she was quickly sub-
merging. The wind was strong, and the two boats soon
got separated. That containing the chief mate and five
seamen was picked up by the Swedish vessel Hoppen.
brought into the Tyne, and landed at South Shields,
whence the men were forwarded to their homes by the hono-
rary agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. With
respect to the captain and the fifteen men in the boat with
him, their intention was to proceed to Sunderland.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN CAYENNE.

Advices from Cayenne report a serious accident which
occurred in that town on the 15th of August, during the
celebration of the Ate NapoHon. A display of fireworks
took Ace in the Government square, which is close to the
magazine, and to the wooden buildings of tho hospital.
Some sparks unfortunately fell on the warehouse in
which the fireworks were stored, and instantly
hundreds of squibs and a number of bombs
ignited and flew in all directions among the people.
A panic arose, and not without cause, for the
people's clothes took fire, and many were thrown down
and terribly burnt. Twenty.persons were fearfully burnt,
and thirty others more or less injured. Several of the
sufferers died in consequence. One woman lost two sons,
and an artilleryman was struck blind. The town was
desolated by the calamity.

DEATH OF AN EX-SCOTCH JUDGE.

The death is announced of Lord Mackenzie, lately
one of the Senators of the College of Justice, Edin-
burgh. Born in 1807, he was caled to the Scottish
bar in 1832, and in 1861 was appointed Sheriff of
Ross and Cromarty. For a few weeks only Lord
Mackenzie was Solicitor-General under Lord Aber-
deen's Government, and then succeeded Lord Robert-
son on the bench. Owing to ill-health, his lordship
retired about five years ago.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
A day or two ago we called attention to the fact
that on Friday afternoon the shares of the Anglo-
American Telegraph Company fell to the extent of
£1 without any apparent cause. Subsequently it was
officially announced that an accident had occurred to
the 1866 cable. The news must have been known to the
directors of the company some time before any other
person could have been aware of the circumstance ; yet
at was not for two or three hours afterwards that the
notice was posted up. All this time a few possessed
of the secret were operating against the shares, the
consequence being a heavy loss to many shareholders.
An explanation has been demanded from the direc-
tors, but as yet none has been given. We are afraid
that the case must be classed as another instance of the
immorality at present practised in the commercial
world.

THE GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.

The Berlin Correspondence, which is one of Count Bis-
marck's organs, has published an important article on the
Baden question. It declares that there is no occasion to
vindicate the policy of the Prussian Government, for its
principles are too well known. As for the people of Baden,
their sentiments are no secret, and the Legislative Assem-
bly has recognised the general desire. It is however necessary
that great care be,taken in order not to precipitate matters,
and the Baden Government is certain to consider its respon-

sibilities with respect to the Southern States of Germany.
The Federal Government would also have to decide if any
separate transfer could be made, or whether it might not
be requisite to wait until all the States should agree to
join the Northern Confederation. The Correspondence
concludes by asserting that France should be the last
country to interfere with the principle of national
sovereignty. I‘ is stated in a Baden dispatch that it is out
of character to give to the eldest son of the Grand Duke of
Baden the title of hereditary prince. If tho Grand Duke
carries out his projects, the title will be a purely honorary
one. All the official journals in Berlin have declared one
after another that the Prussian Government does not wish
at the present moment that the Baden Chambers should
make any manifestation of a desire to enter into tho
Northern Confederation.

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 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-
zumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a nover-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in

which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
' Norton's Camomile Pills."

HOW COLLIERY ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.

At the Wakefield Petty Sessions, on Monday, a miner
was charged with infringing colliery regulations. The
offence was committed so far back as last March, in a col-
liery at Whitwood, where some 300 men are employed
underground. The pit in question has a "golf," or large
open space where coal has been got, and where gas is likely
to accumulate. A sheet or bratticing was hung across the
roadway, to cause a current of air, and this bratticing was
fastened up by two of the miners, who found it troublesome
in passing to and fro. Another workman remonstrated with
them in vain, but hearing the deputy steward coming,
one of them ran and quickly let down the sheet. The
action was at once followed by an explosion, which blew
the steward and another man a distance of ten yards, and
injured them seriously. Warrants were issued against the
two culprits, but the prisoner was only apprehended last
week. He admitted that he knew the act was dangerous,
but averred that he was not the chief offender. It is
apparently useless to hope or expect that any catastophe
will teach our miners common caution.

RECONSTRUCTING THE CHURCH.

Protestants of the various Irish parties continue to
meet with great regularity, in order to elect lay
delegates to the approaching general conference. The
Times correspondent notes that good feeling between
the clergy and the laity still prevails. There is an
evident desire to forget past differences on the policy
of the Irish Church Act. Nevertheless the claims of
the laity for an increased number of representatives
give rise to some anxiety. Many of the clergy regard the
demand for a preponderance of lay delegates as
evidence of distrust and of a disposition to lord it over
the clergy. "Any plan which would throw all the
power into the hands of either laity or clergy would
be fraught with mischief to the future Church, and it
is hard to say whether lay or sacerdotal domination
would be the more oppressive." Further offerings
have been announced. Captain Cooper intends to
purchase the rent-charge and re-endow his parish
church. Another gentleman has promised to purchase
his parish globe-house and hand it over.

THE IllatolAN FETES.

The English volunteers on leaving Spa proceeded to
Brussels where they were received with the greatest
cordiality. The Burgomaster declared that the citizen
militia of Brussels and its vicinity rejoiced to see them
again for they remembered the greeting they had them-
selves received in London. These international fetes had a
significance which the future would comprehend. Colonel
Thomson, in reply, said that they could fix in their
hearts the initials of the two countries, A. and
8., Angleterre et Belgique, and that their hearts
were large enough to contain the initials of
all nations. The next day was a beautiful one, and was
devoted to preparations for the ball, which was a most
magnificent affair. The King entertained the volunteers
as his guests. The entertainment took place at the new
railway station, and a most brilliant scene presented itself
to the assembled company. The King arrived in state at
ten o'clock, and the whole of the Ministers of State and
foreign ambassadors followed. The photographers to the
Royal Family took a photograph of the ball-room at the
most exciting juncture, when the King was making his
acknowledgments for the hearty reception that was accorded
to him. The orchestra held 200 musicians, chosen from the best
orchestras in Brussels. The place was lit up by thousands
of chandeliers, and a profusion of flowers and shrubs
added grace to the scene. The gay assemblage was reflected
in numerous mirrors, and it may be fairly said that nothing
was wanting to render the affair a complete success.
Dancing was kept up until past five in the morning, and
the company appeared to enjoy themselves to the utter-
most. Tho Brussels ball will long be a delightful souvenir
to those who were fortunate enough to take part in its
festivities.

THE RIVERS POLLUTION COMMISSION.

If the populations of our large towns per,ist in poi-
soning themselves through the medium of their rivers,
it is at least fated that they shall not enjoy that igno-
rance which under some circumstances is bliss. The
Rivers Pollution Commissioners have visited succes-
sively several Yorkshire towns, and on Monday
they met the corporation and borough officials
at the Town Hall, Hull. Sir W. Denison, the
Chief Commissioner, delivered an address in which
he dwelt strongly on the evils of the present sewage
system, and quoted some an agreeable facts. The rivers
Aire and Calder and their tributaries are abused by
passing into them hundreds of thousands of tons per
annum of ashes, slag, and cinders, from steam boiler-
works, ironworks, and domestic fires ; by their being
made the receptacle, to a vast extent, for broken
pottery, refuse from brickyards and old buildings,
earth and stone from quarries and excavations. road
scrapings, and street sweepings, &c., by hundreds of
carcases of animals, as dogs, cats, pin's, &c., and by
millions of gallons ofery clay, of water poisoned and
clogged by refuse from mines, chemical works, scour-
ing, fulling, worsted, and woollen works, cleaning, and
the sewage of towns and houses. After this, need we
wonder at the spread of epidemics they once
obtain a footing ? •

A GIGANTIC BANKRUPT.

The first meeting of creditors of a bankrupt at
Leeds discloses th fact that he has failed for
upwards of £lOO,OOO. Tie attributes his failure
to the purchase of railway shares and to
losses in curving on his business. Debts amount-
big to nearly k 90,000 were proved on Monday, the
Great Eastern Railway Company standing at the
head of the list with £37,000, and a Mr. Dibb coming
next with £21,000. No opposition appears to have
been offered, and the last examination was fixed for
the sth of November.

THE SCOTCH HERRING FISHERY.

Mr. Mackie, editor of the Northern Ensign,
scouts the notion that the abundance of
the herring shoals has in any way fallen
off, or that there is any immediate prospect of
a diminished supply. Reviewing the past season,
Mr. Mackie comes to the conclusion that the Scotch
herring fishery continues successful, and that the
shoals aro as great as ever. The herring is, indeed,
an erratic fish, liable to all sorts of inexplicable move-
ments ; but there is no reason to think that the ocean
contains a less number than formerly. The theories
about the ground being " over-fished " are all non-
sense.

The Panama Star and Herald of the sth itid,...nx 4,4?,
account of the extreme terror felt by the iesideirtsi'im tlm
South American coasts in consequince'of •the predictiOns
of the German astrologer. M. Falb announced that the
west coast of South America would be destroyed about this
time by some frightful convulsion of nature. The steamer
Limena, which left Valparaiso on the 10th of August and
put in at several ports along the coast en route for Panama,
describes the condition of the people as most pitiable.
Great numbers of them were flying inland for safety
regardless of exposure or privation. Iquique, which suf-
fered terribly in the former earthquake, is quite deserted
and the whole coast is losing its inhabitants, business of
all kinds being brought to a standstill. The terror of the
people was heightened by some shocks of earthquake being
felt at Copiaio and Tecapilla, while in the neighbourhood
of Arica a severe shock was experienced at sea. Nothing
serious had. howevsr, occurred when the latest news was
received.

ME LORD MAYOII DT:FENC.".

A great deal of criticism has lately been evoked
against Lord Mayor Lawrence, in consequence
of his release of Clement Harwood, who, it
will be remembered, was acquitted after he had
been brought up at the Mansion House on a
charge of forgery. The circumstances of the case
maybe- briefly told. He had forged cheques and
embezzled a large sum of money from a firm, of which
his father was a partner, and then fled to America,
where he was taken into custody and brought to
England. The whole of the money was eventually
recovered, and the firm did not wish to prosecute, the
young man, who was under 20 years of ago, being
deeply penitent for his crime. The firm assured
the Lord Mayor that the salvation of Harwood
rested on the withdrawal of the prosecution, and that
utter destruction would ensue if the charge was per-
severed with. The present occupant of the civic
chair accordingly released the prisoner, and public
opinion was stroi.llly roused in the matter, it being
declared that there was one law for the rich and
another for the poor. The Lord Mayor has
now defended himself, the occasion being
the presentation to him of a full-lensh portrait of
himself by the inhabitants of the ward of Wall-
brook. lie declared that, after a deep examination
of all the circumstances, he did not hesitate to ray
that, amid all the cases brought before him, none
possessed a greater satisfaction to his own mind than
the case of Clement Harwood. He said that most
deliberately. There was not a professional man—a
lawyer—in this country who, when ho had mastered
that case, could come to any other conclusion than he
had come to. With respect to there being two laws,
he asserted most distinctly that he had adopted the
same course in more than one instance when a father
refused to prosecute his son.

OUR OLD FIVT.NDS.

At a meeting of the St. Pancras Guardians on
Monday, a letter from the Poor-law Board, embody-
ing most of Mr. Bore's report on the late inquiry, was
read. The Board gave as its decision that the charge
against Mr. Harley of taking the position of temporary
medical officer to the union with the intention of
getting rid of the patients had not been substan-
tiated. Mr. Harley holding a strong opinion as to the
impropriety of many of the inmates of the infirmary
being there, expressed his opinion in terms which,
inaccurately remembered and reported, formed the
groundwork for the charges. But he had not, the
Board thought, any deliberate intention of getting
rid of patients. After hearing this letter, the
guardians straightway set themselves to assail Dr.
Markham, who originated the inquiry into Mr. Har-
ley's conduct. He was a common informer. His
conduct was cowardly and unprofessional. The Poor-
law Board was a blot and a disgrace to England.
Surely, after getting a verdict in favour of their officor,
the guardians might have rested satisfied without
abusing the Board.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

It is within the range of probability that this vexed
question will in a short time once more occupy public
attention. It is stated that Mr. Motley has written
to the Government at Washington to the effect that
he is not satisfied with his instructions in regard to
the Alabama claims. If the subject be reoponed—to
which course the British Ministry is favourable—
he thinks that a treaty satisfactory to both countries
could be made.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 153. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 Vic fold. per ounce for standard gold, it appears th,t
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
London.

The course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at GO
days' sight was 1071 per cent on the 20th inst. At this rate there
would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United
States.

Mr. Finlen, having decided to emigrate from
London to America, had a farewell meeting of his friends
on Tuesday. After a variety of entertainments the bei o
of the evening made a speech, in which he denounced is
no measured terms the English press. Ile said the Int ia
who had persecuted him were the baso supporters of the
House of Commons and of the House of Lords, and that
tyrannical, most malignant body on earth, he meant the
writers of the press—venomous libellers, treacheroLs
cowards and slanderers. Ile was not allowed to live in 1;14,-
land, but ho could, and would fight Freedom's battle betty
in the land of the Star-Spangled Banner.—Mr. Broadhead,
who made himself some time ago notorious in connectiou
with the Trades' Unions in Sheffield, is also about to emi-
grate; but while Finlen goes out as a roaring lion to de-
nounce the aristocracy, Broadhead is declared to have bo-
come meek and mild, to have repented greatly of the part
ho therein took, a change certified to by divers clergymen.
His license being refused, he is compelled to emigrate, and
subscriptions have been made to give him a start in life ha
the new land.
