TUE INQUIRY AT BEVERLEY.

Lord Londesborough has been examined before the
Election Commissioners at Beverley. In 1857 the
present peer was the Hon. W. 11. F. Denison, and
was returned to the House of Commons as the
representative of the model Holderness town. But
nothing could be more complete than Lord
Londesborough's ignorance of the doings at
his election, or of Beverley election morality
in general. His evidence was utterly nega-
tive. " No," "None," "Never," and "Not in the
least," formed the sum and substance of the great
majority of his replies. Money was paid to his sup-
porters, but he knew nothing of the transactions.
With money matters, in fact, his lordship had nothing
whatever to do; the bribery was all managed by the
kind and disinterested local wire-pullers, and. the bills
were all paid by his father. The aristocratic candidate
was returned in complete ignorance of the means by
which his victory was won, and he remained under
the impression that his election had been conducted
with purity until the recent disclosures enlightened
him. What an admirably simple way of avoiding all
unpleasantness 1

THE SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES.

Mr. Archibald Smith, the Liberal candidate for
the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen, has made
rather a curious announcement at a meeting of elec-
tors in Edinburgh. In his printed address Mr. Smith
was rather shaky on the subject of compulsory edu-
cation. But he has found that, since his address was
written, " a considerable change has occurred in the
aspect of the question." And what is this change ?
Simply that compulsory education has been
made one of the points on which the Edu-
cational Congress at BirminFham insisted. And
because the Congress insisted, therefore Mr.
Smith must insist. The doings at Birmingham
have confirmed his wavering; if ho had to pen his
address again he would' go in for compulsion, root
and branch. No doubt the Leaguers will be equally
amazed and gratified at this anouncement. If they
make converts at this rate there will soon bo no edu-
cation difficulty. After Mr Smith's speech it appears
that a professor and a sheriff moved a vote of thanks
to Mr. Smith, expressing the satisfaction with which
the meeting listened to his sentiments. It is to be
regretted that they did not tack on to the resolution
a plain statement of what those sentiments are.

establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
tAdition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

AN UNSEAWORTHY SHIP.

We aro glad to notice that the question of wise&
worthy ship is being generally agitated. The
simple fact is that over a certain class of vessels
no control is exercised ; any leaky ship which
can get a crew may, so far as the Govern-
ment is concerned, go to sea. It is
notorious that many vessels go out in a totally unsea-
worthy state ; some rough day the craft goes to
pieces; and then the report comes home "all crew
drowned," or " crew taken ofi by a lifeboat." There
is no provision whatever made for the examination of
ships unclassed at Lloyds. The Board of Trade
is very chary, too, ia instituting inquiries. A case in
point is given in a correspondence published by the
Times. An application was made by Mr. Dells, of
Newcastle, for a Board of Trade inquiry into the
case of a bark built in 1818, and bound only recently foi
London. In giving the details of the matter Mr.
Dells said that the vessel previously to commencing
loading was so leaky that several sailors and a master
whohad engaged to navigate the ship, after going on
board, refused to sail in her. She was, however, sent on
her voyage bound for London, but got no further down
the river Tyno than the Low Lighthouse, "when, in
consequence of the crew refusing to proceed further,
the ship was towed back again. . . . . in a
sinking state. ller cargo has since been discharged.
Tho vessel . . . is still lying . . . empty,
with one man on board. Altogether, the ship is
notoriously unseaworthy." Now in answer to this
application the Board of Trade reply that "this does
under the Merchant Shipping Act."
not appear to them a case in which they should
order an inquiry

THE HALFPENNY NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

The halfpenny postage for newspapers is, it is once
again announced, to be definitely adopted. The Post-
master-General has been won over to the reduction,
and agrees to it on two conditions. The first of these
is that the halfpenny stamp shall be available for one
day only ; the second, that the publishers of the
newspapers using the stamp shall themselves impress
the date upon it. In explanation of the regulations
imposed, the London correspondent of the Scotsman
gives as his opinion that a paper bearing the halfpenny
stamp will be carried if put into the post any
time before midnight on the day, the date of which
is marked on the stamp, but after that the stamp
will be worthless. As to the stamping of the date
on the paper, the object of throwing that duty
on the publishers or other persons availing
themselves of the halfpenny postage is of course to
save expense to the Post Othee. It is expected that
such a vast quantity of newspapors will be sent
through the post on the reduction of the stamp, that
the mere process of "marking" would require such
an addition to the Post Office staff throughout the
country ai would render the project for financial
reasons quite impracticable.

TRIAL OF "PROFESSOR" RISLEY.

At the Central Criminal Court to-day, Richard
Risley, who styles himself " Professor" Risley,
was indicted for attempting to abduct Maria Ann
Mason, a girl under the age of 16, from the lawful
custody of her parents. He was also charged with
assaulting the girl. Mr. Besley appeared for the
prosecution ; Sergeant Parry and Mr. Montagu
Williams defended.

The girl Maria Ann Mason stated that she lived
with her mother at Fulham, and that she had a
married sister living in Mount-street, Grosvenor-
square. On Tuesday, the 17th of August, she
came into town in the forenoon and saw an unmar-
ried sister. She was then 'going to return home,
and while she was waiting for an omnibus the
prisoner said to her, "'Will you go with me
'Witness was afraid, and went towards Mrs. Chick-
ley's in Greek-street, Soho. In Leicester-square the
prisoner stopped her at Stagg and Mantle's, the
linendrapers, and said, "If you come with me,
I will buy you a new dress." lie also showed her a
ring he had on his finger, and said he would give
it to her if she came with him him. As they passed
a coffee-shop in Ryder-court, he caught hold of her
jacket and endeavoured to pull her into it, but she
released herself and ran away.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

Wm. Mash, a hawker, was charged before Mr.Tyrwhitt
with stealing a Li note, the property of Mrs. Emma Draper,
hotel-keeper, of No. 20, Sackville-street.
Mrs. Draper said that on the 20th August last she pur-
chased a turbot of the prisoner, who was in the habit of
selling her white-bait, and not having any change, she
told him to call the next morning. He did so, and she
then gave him a .£5 note, telling him to go to a public-
house close by and get change. The prisoner left his
empty basket, and went away and never returned.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

A frightful accident occurred at the Welwyn Junction
on Sunday evening, to the 8 p.m. train from King's Cross,
whereby a man and his wife, named Walden, residing at
Welwyn, were killed on the spot; and a man named Sell,
a bootmaker, also residing in this neighbourhood,
died 2,csterday morning from his injuries. One
of the guards of the train is much shaken, and
some seven or eight passengers more or less injured, but
aro said to be going on well. The accident occurred
through the latter half of the train running off the
lino at the junction, and the carriages falling over on
their sides, killing and injuring sense of the occupants.
The body of one carriage was literally smashed up; but it
is remarkable that the carriages in which the people were
killed were very little injured. The cause of the
train running off the line is at present unaccounted for,
as the block signals were properly set, and the night was
nearly as light as day. The accident happened at nine
o'clock, and the line was blocked for two or three hours.

CHANGE IN THE GOVERNMENT.

Mr. Layard, Member for Southwark, and Chief
Commissioner of Public Works, will succeed Sir J.
Crampton as British Minister at Madrid. At any
rate this change is likely to secure a contrast
between our past and our future representation in
Spain. It was averred of Sir J. Crampton that he
paid very little attention to his business, that ho left
the Tornado and other difficulties to settle themselves,
and bestowed his attention chiefly to private hobbies
in the way of old manuscripts and the like. Probably
the Spanish system of letting things take their own
course is infectious. But Mr. Layard is not likely to
give offence by doing too little. He will peer into
the inner life of Spanish politics as zealously as he
unearthed the hieroglyphics at Nineveh. His lively
temper too is just the thing to bring the sleepy
Spaniards to a sense of their condition.
Mr. Ayrton will reign in Mr. Layard's stead as
Chief Commissioner of Public Works. Thus there
will be a vacancy in the representation of Southwark,
and as Mr. Ayrton is a Secretary of the Treasury, his
promotion will leave a post for somebody.

PORTUGUESE TELEGRAPHY.

It has been generally agreed that the telegraph
service from India is bad; but the messages from
Lisbon can claim a vast pre-eminence in confusion,
muddle, and delay. The recent doings in connection
with the mail steamship Araucanria are ini-
mitable. That vessel arrived at Lisbon
on the evening of the 19th, and left on the evening
of the 20th. First came a telegram to Live'pool
announcing the departure of the Arancarvia from
Liverpool, at 7.30 p.m.. .on the 20th, Then came
"supplementary news"
messagebanyotthheermailtelegram being despatched
from Lisbon five and a half hours before the
s team
ecro,ntthaiins containing
preceding. Thirdly came a message announcing the
arrival of the vessel, this new reaching Liverpool
thirty hours after the announcement athe departure.
The contents of these missives were quite in keeping
with the style of their transmission. Two sentences
are recommended to the reader's ingenuity :—" Con-
gress has gefealted cuante," and " ronesings generally
brisek.accetA in.uiahete bade."

TILE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

The 12th of October was the 377th anniversary of the
landing of Christopher Columbus on American soil. The
Italians in New York comemmorated the event to the best
of their ability. At Boston, New Orleans, and Cincinnati
due honour was paid to the memory of the great discoverer.
At Cincinnati there were two series of entertainments,
some of the Italians dating the discovery from the day
Columbus came in sight of America, and others from the
day when he landed. At the ball which took place on the
11th inst., an Italian lady of the city, 101 years old, led off
in the grand march, and afterwards danced ten sets.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable thorn to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible oven to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand fur more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

TUE DEAN OF RIPON AND EARL DE GREY,

Dr. M'Neile coquetting with a member of the
Government which passed the Irish Church Bill is a
sad spectacle. If the Dean of Ripon takes to for-
olgibur And forzivino. whom shall wo have-to "hold

out 16- the Yet the very rev, gentleman
was very nearly doing this on Frid.ay last.
He attended a banquet at Ripon at which the
President of the Council and Lord John Hay made
speeches. The Dean first censured those who did not
believe in Protestantism, and then praised his evangeli-
cal bishop. He was followed by Earl do Grey and
Ripon, who sought how to give an address without
party politics. The earl discoursed on the repression
of bankruptcy, on the promotion of education, and the
•:evontion of cattle disease. He was not sanguine as
to last session's Bankruptcy Bill, having seen so many
schemes fail; but ho hoped for the best. The notorious
misappropriation of funds intended for middle-class
education really demanded reform. He hoped the
money would be utilised ; and would give the work-
ing classes also a means to rise. The Cattle Diseases
Bill he defended on the ground of its elasticity—
giving laxity where severity was not required, and
yet allowing the Privy Council power to stop in at
any moment. The Dean, after this speech, proposed
Lord_ do Grey's health, and said the discourse they
had just listened to was magical : politics were left
out, and yet the whole session was brought before
the hearers. Lord do Grey would not have this,
however,—

It, seemed to him that the speech he delivered was like
nothing so much as the play of " Hamlet " with the part
of Hamlet omitted. He had undoubtedly alluded to the
past session, but the allusion loft out the great question to
which some people objected, while nobody objected to the
repression of bankruptcy, the promotion of public educa-
tion, or the stoppage of cattle disease. 'Therefore he felt
that his magic had been but of a feeble description, treat-
ing as it did of minor work, while it left untouched that
measure which would form the real mark of the past
cession in the history of coming times.

THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
Speculation is already rife as to the probable suc-
cessor of the late Earl of Derby to the Chancellorship
of the University of Oxford. We have already
stated that the Bishop of Brechin has written
strongly recommending the Marquis of Salisbury.
A. strong feeling is now stated to be in favour
of the Earl of Carnarvon, who has held the office of
Seneschallus, or High Steward of the University,
since 1869. This young
_nobleman has attained the
highest honour the University can afford, viz., a first
class in classics, in 1852, and he will be backed
by the powerful influence of the society
of which he is so distinguished a member.
The Duke of Marlborough has also been men-
tioned as likely to be brought forward. No stipend is
assigned to the appointment; on the contrary, the
custom of many years has entailed expense on its
holder. The installation of a Chancellor is a proceed-
ing attended with unusual interest at the Univer-
sity.

THE LOSS OF THE CARNATIC.

The loss of the P. and 0. Company's mail steamer Car-
natic in the Red Sea has created a painful excitement in
India. At Bombay the news was at first discredited, as it
came through Calcutta by the ordinary post. The wreck
occurred on the 13th of September, but it was not until
the 26th that a telegram was received in Bombay, though
the disaster was known in Egypt on the 16th. The Bombay
gazette attributes the telegraphic delay to the inter-
ference of the Arabs with the Turkish line. The
Times of India publishes two long accounts of
the wreck, from surviving • passengers, one of whom
declares his conviction that the accident need not have
occurred.

THE ASSURANCE COMPANIES IN INDIA.

The directors of the Bombay branch of the European
Assurance Society have forwarded a letter to the Bombay
papers, giving the substance of a private telegram received
from London respecting the petiticns to wind up the com-
pany. The directors thought it right to make this infor-
mation public, though they had received no advice of the
kind themselves, and stated authoritatively that the Bombay
branch was in a most prosperous condition, the funds being
invested in Government securities only. Of the general
position of the society they could not, of course, speak.
The statement of the Bombay branch in August, shewed
the year's income, from premiums old and new, to be
£BO,OOO in excess of the payments on life and guarantee
claims, including bonus additions.
The Bombay committee appointed to watch the interests
of the Indian policy-holders in the Albert Assurance Com-
pany, held a meeting on the 24th of September, and
resolved that the policy-holders were not bound to con-
tinue to pay their premia unless they were disposed to
join in the scheme for reconstruction, and that the committee
could not recommend the scheme already proposed. It was
further resolved that as there were many policy-holders
who had originally invested in other companies, and been
transferred to the Albert, the possibility of enforcing their
claims against the shareholders of the companies in which
they originally insured should not be lost sight of. A sub-
scription at the rate of two rupees for every 1,000 rupees
insured was asked for.

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-
iumstances, 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 yenrs.

Sold in bottles at Is. lid., 2e. 9d., and lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.

DISTURBANCES IN THE EAST.

The Indian payers state that serious disturbances have
taken place in the Persian Gulf. Mahemed bin Kaleefah,
the Sheik of Bahrein, was expelled from the island a year
and a half ago for piracy, Colonel Kelly, the Britishßesident,
having some hand in his expulsion. He has, assisted by
some Bedouins of the Wahabee territory, made a sudden
descent on the island, killing his brother, the reigning
Sheik, and sacking the town of Bahrein. It is thought
probable that the Persian satrap of Fars may interfere and
endeavour to restore the place to the Shah.

The Arabs are raising disturbances in Mesopotamia,
where the exactions of the Pacha of Bagdad from the Arab
population are found intolerable. In some cases these
amount to soven-tenths of the agricultural produce, while
the conscription for the Turkish army has been increased.
The revolt has taken the form of a guerilla war, the Arabs
having risen against the Turkish authorities, destroyed the
stations, and fired into the Turkish steamers wherever ac-
cessible.
