BEWARE OF LEGACY ENDOWMENTS.

If some of the men who made the quaint old wills
leaving £5 per year towards this and that seemingly
good object were to see what trouble their
legacies have cost, how little real good they have
accomplished, and how much lamentable evil they
have done, they would have bitterly regretted
their so-called benefaction. And if other of
these donors could have found out for how
many years their money would have lain idle,like the
talent hid in the napkin, they would hardly have put
it where they did. Every inquiry into charities
brings to light some cases shewing how utterly futile
these bequests have proved, simply because the
testator, giving according to his light, could make no
allowance for the progress of centuries, and often
seems, according to our light, to have made express
provision against any kind of progress whatever.
Sometimes he has made inadequate provision for a
large purpose, sometimes the very opposite. A case
in point has just been made public by a charitable
inquiry at Bolton. The 131ackrod Grammar School
in that town has nearly £4,000 with which the trustees
do not know what to do. The property consists
of a school, with master's residence and
garden, lands at Bedford, near Leigh, and the
sum of £3077 19s. Gd. in Three per Cent. Consols
The income for the year was £247 Os. Cd., the ex-
penditure £ll4 7s. 11d. They had now a balance at
the bank of £1,213 4s. Some 300 years ago the sum
of £5 yearly was bequeathed for an exhibition,
which had been vacant nearly the whole of the time
and the money had accunmlated until it had reached
nearly £4,000. Only 47 boys and 17 girls were
receiving education there. No Greek or Latin war
taught, and the Rev. Mr. Swallow said the
standard was below that of a national: school

COMMUNICATION WITH FRANCE.

Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to Sir William Gallwey, said
ho was quite aware of the unsatisfactory nature of the
communication between England and France, and as far
as this country was concerned a committee had sat and
made a very able report on the matter, a copy of which
had been sent to Paris, where, it was hoped, it would be
considered with a view of making some improvement.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN
IRELAND.

Telegrams from Dublin, Monday night, give accounts
of another attempted assassination in Ireland. One
correspondent says :—" Richard Warburton, High Sheriff
of Queen's County, when driving to Maryborough Assizes
this morning, was shot at from behind a hedge and
severely wounded in the side of the Lead. Fortu-
nately the heaviest portion of the charge passed
through his hat. Mr. Warburton's servant drove
him at once into Maryborough, where he was attended
to. He lies in a precarious state, but hopes of his recovery
are entertained. The crime is supposed to be agrarian,
and to have arisen from something which occurred lately
at Mr. Warburton's estate in the King's County.
Another correspondent tells much the same story. " Mr.
Warburton, High Sheriff of Queen's County, was fired at
this morning while driving to Maryborough to stir car
in the grand jury. The assassin was concealed in a wood
at Killeen, behind a wall 7ft. high, and fired in an ob-
lique direction ten yards' distance into Mr. Warburton's
face. The shot destroyed his left eye, and wounded the
side of his Lead. The gun was raised too high, and the
greater part of the charge riddled his hat. Richard
Kenny, his servant, who was seated behind him in
the two-horse phaeton, sprang beside his master, drove
furiously into Maryborough, and placed Mr. Warburton
under the care of Dr. Jacob. The constabulary searched
the wood, and discovered some old clothes and two sacks,
which probably formed the assassin's bed. The outrage is
Agrarian. Mr. Warburton lies in a dangerous state, but
hopes of his recovery are entertained. The magistrates
met, and adjourned until Wednesday."

A NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY,

Falmouth aspires to become a point of departure
for submarine telegraphs. And there is good geo-
graphical reason wily it should do so. It is propose('
to lay a cable from that port to Gibraltar, 1,451
miles, and from Gibraltar to Malta, 1,025 miles.
The work is to be completed by May 31, when the entirt
line between Falmouth and Bombay will probably be
completed. By this time the vexatious delays now
caused by transmission over 2,000 miles of land
lines in France and Italy will be avoided. The
capital is £OOO,OOO, in £lO shares.

ABYSSINIAN POLITICS.

The Abyssinians do not seem disposed to part with the
notoriety they acquired during the late war. Kassa, or
Kassai, the Prince who was so friendly to the English,
has obtained the services of an Englishman, Colonel
Kirkham, who is drilling the native troops in anticipation
of war operations, which are expected after the rainy
season is over. Prince Kassa, who is certainly far supe-
rior to the other Abyssinian potentates, desires to promote
foreign commerce with his people. He has abolished all
duties on the goods of foreign merchants, and has given
his chiefs strict orders to protect the persons and property
of traders. Colonel Kirkham reports that he is making
great progress in the work of drilling the troops. He
xpects that the Prince will become master of the whole
Of Abyssinia, which may then be transformed into an im-
portant commercial country.

REFOR3I IN FRANCE.

According to the able Parisian correspondent of the
Times, the Emperor has undone all the good effect of his
reform programme by the prorogation of the Corps L6gis-
latif before it had finished its work. The change in the
Constitution ought to have pleased all France; it has
gratified nobody. The Reds, of course, are as "irrecon-
cilable" as ever. The ultra-Imperialists are angry because
it is in their ranks that the deputies, whose elections
have not been verified, are to be found. Not only have
they lost the day without a fight, and have witnessed,
without being able to interfere, the fall of their leader, but
they are personally in danger as to their contested scats
in the House ; and certain as they are to see the validity
of their elections questioned by the Left and Left Centre,
they can have no confidence whatever in the help
and protection of the new Ministry. Nor is
the Left Centre—the Moderate Liberals, who have
brought about these changes—better pleased. It is stopped
in its reforming course, and, moreover, the Ministry has
not been substantially changed. This unlucky prorogation
has undone everything.

VOYAGE IN A BALLOON.

Youens had a balloon ascent on Saturday evening,
leaving the Belle Vue Gardens, near Huddersfield, in the
Aerial; which is capable of containing 20,000 cubic feet of
gas, It rises to-a height of 60 feet, and expands to 100 feet in
tircumference. Away floated the balloon in a westerly direc-
tion, oscillating for a considerable distance in a most extra-
ttlinary and unusual manner. Mr. Youens experienced a
strorijer breeze than he had anticipated, and the current
changing xi.ridly, his energy and knowledge as an aeronaut
were very closely ;and_ managing the balloon. A fresh
current drove the Aerial to tfie east fora time, but presently
another gust, unexpectedly, in the direction of Halifax,
thence towards Bradford, in a northerly course, and,
after the lapse of twenty minutes, the Aerial and its mu-
pant pierced the clouds. Mr. Youens then began to make
observations, for the purpose of selecting a suitable site
on which to descend; and in a few minutes concen-
trated his attention upon a field iu which a fete was
being held. The breeze, however, carried the Aerial
some three miles further, and, a second time, jlr. Youen
attempted to lower himself in a field adjoining some
farmhouses at Dunholme. Cautiously opening the escape
valve, Mr. Youens continued the journey downwards and
threw out the grapnels. Impetuous blasts of winds
increased the difficulty of bringing the Aerial' to anchor.
A strong wind prevailing, the balloon became unmanage-
able, and drifted over fields and stone walls with amazing
velocity. The flukes of the grapnels penetrated the ground
and uprooted the earth as they followed in the wake of the
balloon, while the Aerial chariot dashed onwards making,
in its career, wide gaps in several stone walls. Mr.
Youens, preparing to encounter the worst fate, wrapped
the end of the cord which opens the escape valve round
one of his wrists, and burying himself in the car, permitted
the balloon to proceed until the breeze subsided ; when,
after the car had been thrice capsized, and every article
which it contained thrown out, Mr. Youens, who received no
injuries, anchored, and completed a 'voyage of many
miles, occupying half an hour in its accomplishment.

SUPPLY.

On the report of the Committee of Supply being
brought up,
Mr. BLAKE complained that the Scotch fisheries re-
ceived nearly seven thousand pounds more than Ireland,
irrespective of the sum returned to the Exchequer
for branding fees. Ho did not bring the matter
forward from motives of opposition, but merely in the
hope of the Chancellor of the Exchequer acting iu a in re
liberal spirit to the Irish Fisheries, and with that view
he proposed to reduce the vote for the Fishery Board by
the sum of £5,766, and that it be devoted to educational
purposes instead of as now expended.
Mr. MACFIE said, instead of the Scotch Fishery Boards
getting too much, they did not get half enough.
(Laughter.)
The motion, being_ pressed to a division, was lost by
150 to 54.

On the motion for going into committee on the Tele-
graph (recommitted) Bill,
Mr. R. TORRENS moved that the bill be referred back
to the select committee, and hoped it would have the
effect of defeating a measure which, in addition to the
present loss of three or four millions, would involve a
very heavy annual outlay. The price to be paid ought
not to have been more than 21
On a division the amendment of Mr. Torrens was nega-
tived by 148 to 23 votes.
The house then went into committee on the bill, and
the consideration of its clauses occupied some hours.
An adjournment was the result in the small hours of the
morning, the remaining orders of tho day being post-
poned, the house then adjourned.

the Central Pacific Railway Company has begun
the cow traction of 50 cz.rs for transporting fruit from
California to the East, to bo ventilated by moans of fun-
nel air-pump ventilators, wire screens and cross-bars, and
will admit of stowing fruit packages in such a way as to
give a free circulation of air. No other arrangement to in-
sure coolness will probably be required, unless zinc lining
may sometimes bo used, for the climate itself, after reach-
ing Utah, is cooler than that of California, and thorough
ventilation will be sufficient. The rate for all first-class
fares is $l2 52c in gold for 100 pounds, from San Francisco
or Sacramento to New York. At this rate it is be-
lieved grapes can be placed in New York by growers at
about $l5 per 100 pounds. They could then be sold at
25 to 80 cents, according to quality, and yield a good pro-

The balance of the year's income was .£68,026 9s. 4d.

The directors draw special attention to the fact thet the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the chpital funds and
Constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

A MATRIMONIAL FAIR.

The Roumanians who dwell in the Austrian province of
Transylvania bold an annual fair in the month of July.
The objects to be disposed of are not cattle, nor inanimate
wares of any kind, Lut the marriageable daughters of the
region round about. The custom is for the fathers to get
a cart, place upon it their daughters, with everything
included in their portion, take their stand in the fair
ground, and cry their merchandise to the assembled mul-
titude. A buyer comes up, the haggling goes on, and the
result is ratified over the bottle. This year the fair was
held at Kalingassa, en the 11th and 12th inst. The atten-
dance was large, and business brisk.

THE 111C11 MAN'S DEW.

A correspondent calls attention to a case which
has recently come under his notice. Attending a
church which was filled to overflowing, he noticed
one pew in a good situation without occupants.
Several persons essayed from time to time
to avail themselves of its conveniences, but
in each case the " pew-opener " interfered and
requested them to go elsew here. The church
became more and more crowded, and eventually, to
save himself from further trouble, the pew-opener
plaCed the footstools on the seats, in order to chew
that the pew was reserved. Throughout the service
no claimant appeared who was entitled to displacetho
footstools, and there they remained. In Mr. Spurgeon's
chapel all privileged persons must be in their seats five
minutes lefot e the service commences—at that time
the public are admitted and allowed to tal e any
vacant seats. The time cannot much longer continue
when seats will be reserved for the rich and occupied
by their footstools.
London, England, 1869-07-27

one day.

A knowing traveller cut West, who had char-
tered half a bed at a crowded hotel, and was determined
to have the best half, buckled a spur on his heel before
turning in. His unfortunate sleeping partner bore the
infliction as long as he could, and at last roared out, "Say,
stranger, if you're a gentleman you ought to cut your toe
nails."

A promising young shaver of five or six years
was reading his lesson at school one cloy, in the deliberate
manner for which urchins of that age are somewhat
remarkable. As lie proceeded with the task he carte
upon the passage, " Keep thy tongue from evil and thy
lips from guile." Master Hopeful drawled out, "Keep
thy—tongue—from—evil—and—thy—lips—from—girls."
INTELLIGIBLE.—A Dutchman once met an Irish-
man on a lonely highway. As they met, each smiled,
thinking he knew the other. Pat, on seeing his mistake,
remarked, with a look of disappointment, " Faith, an' I
thought it was you, an' you thought it was me, an' it's
nßythur of us."--The Dutchman replied, " Yaw, dat is
dhru ; I am minder man, and you is not yourself ; we pe
poth some other podies."

TRUTH FILTERED OUT BY TRANSMISSION.
Every day of my life Intakes me feel more and more how
seldom a fact is accurately stated ; how alincst invariably
when a story has passed through the mind of a third person
it becomes, so far as regards the impression that it makes
in further repetition, little better than a falsehood ; and
ibis, ton, thuogh the narrator be the most truth-seeking
person in existence.—N. Hawthorne.
PURITAN COURTSIIIP.—Of all women she is most
to be pitied mho has a slow-paced suitor ; he is worse than
a retrograding ore.• How admirable, how prompt, how
perfectly- satisfactory, NI as the conduct of the Puritan, who
rode up to the door of the house where dwelt the girl of
his choice, and, having desired her to be called out to him,
sod, without c;reundoeution, "Rachel, the Lord bath sent
me to marry thee !" when the 01 answered, with equal
promptitude and devotedness, "The Lord's will be done!"
ON VIE WuErr.-- A few days two, when the
great wheel Laxey, Isle of Man, was revolsing only
occasionally, owing to the want of water, a gentleman
waked up to the wheel, and seeing it standing still, be
got over the protecting railing and on to the interior part
of the wheel, with a view to a close inspection of its con-
struction. He bad scarcely got on to the wheel when it
began to move, and in au instant, before he could get oil
it, the ponderous piece of machinery was in full swing.
Fortunately the gentleman's presence of mind did not
desert him. Grasping one of the spokes, he stuck to it at
if struggling for life, and, consequently, was carried round
.with the wheel; which made three revolutions before 111

INDIAN RAILWAYS

lir. G. DUFF said that the Indian Government bad re-
commended an extension of the Eastern Bongal Railway
to Darjeeling.

CHINA.

Mr. G. DUFF, in reply to Mr. Baines, said he regretted
I.tat circumstances had prevented the papers relative to
;he route of Captain W. C. M'Leod, from Msulmain to the
'rontiers of China, and to tho route of Dr. Dichardson on

fourthLis mission in tho Shan provinces of Burma., had
not been presented before, but that they would be laid on
the table now in a very few days.
BANK DIVIDENDS.

Mr. AYRTON said there was some arrangement for
the alteration of the manner of the payment of the divi-
dends at the Ihnk of England, but that the matter could
not be completed without the sanction of Parliament, and
as there was not time for such a matter during the present
session, no alteration, of course, would take place for the
present.

PAROMIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL.

On tno motion for going into committee on this bill,
- - -

Mr. CAMPBELL said ho was of opinion that no system
of education would be effectual or just which, while in-
volving compulsory rating, did not include the power
of enforcing the attendance of children at school.

STACTOLE thought that it was impossible, in the
short time that now remained of the session, adequately
to disouss such an important measure as the present.
Mr. MILLAR was of opinion that the absence of
compulsory clauses from the present bill was a great ob-
jection to the bill. He hoped steps would be taken by
the Government to remedy the objection, and that com-
pulsion clauses would be introduced in the English bill.

THE ROYAL ASSENT.

Soon after four o'clock the Usher of the Black Rod ap-

mission to several bills. The speaker, and a great num-
ber of the members of the Ministerial side quitted the
house.

On the return of the Speaker he informed the house
that ho had been to the House of Peers where the Royal
Assent had been given to the Act for Disendowiug and
Disestablishing the Irish Church. (Loud cheers.)
FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS' ACT.

Mr. BRUCE said it was more than likely that next ses-
sion a bill would be introduced to extend the provisions
to young persons in factories above the ago of 16.

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.

Mi. BRUCE, in reply to Major Cartwright, said that it
was quite true that the Lord Chief Justice quitted the
Northampton Assize Court, after he had disposed of
the only civil case standing for trial, but before doing so
he volunteered assistance to Mr. Justice Byles in trying the
remaining criminal cae.•s, which assistance Mr. Justice
Byles declined, knowing that the Lord Chief Justice had
lately been very closely engaged in the duties of his
eminent office.

venerable of English cathedrals ; nothing ID um
fitting than that the memorial should be placed,
as suggested, near the monument of his friend
and poetical master, William Wordsworth.
To honour such a man is to honour all that is
worthiest in human nature. An humble-minded,
pure-hearted, faithful parish priest like Keble, whose
one ambition was to do good and to be good, wins
the love and admiration of those who differ the most
widely from him in ecclesiastical controversies." In
connection with the subject it may be pointed out
that neither Collins, Cooper, Crabbe, Sir Walter

THE CALIFORNIA AERIAL STEAM CARRIAGE.--A
San Francisco newsletter says:—" The problem of aerial
navigation is solved. Within a year we shall travel habi-
tually to New York, Europe, and China by aerial carriages.
The trial trips of the model steam carriage, at Shell
Mount Park, have been entirely and completely success-
ful, exceeding the most sanguine anticipations and hopes
of the builders. The power of the propellers was greater,
and the resistance of the atmosphere less, than were esti-
mated, and the speed attained was proportionately greater.
Protected by its patent rights, we believe that the
Aerial Steam Navigation Company of California will
speedily constitute the most gigantic single corporation
iuterest in the United States, overshadowing the railroad,
steamship, or telegraph combinations. The thing is done ;
fully, finally, and completely done. Within four weeks
the first aerial steam carriage, capable of conveying six
persons, and propelled at a rate exceeding the minimum
speed of thirty miles an hour, will wing its flight over
the Sierra Nevada, ou its way to New York and remo-
ter parts.

DAILY RETURN OF FIRES.—Six fires happened in
the metropolitan district up to six o'cicok this (Tuesday)
morning, but only three were of sufficient importance to
deserve reporting. One broke out in the extensive pre-
mises of Mr. W. G. Nixoy, wholesale oil and colourman
and blacklea4 manufacturer, 22, Moor-street, Soho. A
fire, which was accompanied with great loss of property,
took place in the unredeemed pledge stores belonging to
Mr. J. Leigh, 4, Hackney-road. About 20 minutes past
five o'clock this morning the premises of Mr. T. White, a
fruiterer, situated at 64, West Smithfield, were discovered
to be on fire. Tho fire could not be got out until the lower
part of the building was considerably burned, and the
upper severely injured by lief; &Q. ID.Ottied in the Nor-

The suggestion that a tablet to the memory of
