DUTY ON THE WILL OF "A MAN WORTH
MONEY."—The Times Dublin correspondent, writing by
date of Febuary 20, says : " The duty on the will of the late
Sir B. Guinness was paid yesterday. It amounted to
£16,700."

Forty-one of the miners on strike at the Tinsley
Park Pits have been summoned before the magistrates at
Sheffield on charges of intimidation and violence. The
complainant, a collier who had returned to work, was
pelted with stones, knocked down, and rendered senseless.
Some of the accused were identified as having taken part
in the riotous proceedings, but the case was not completed.

MR. GLADSrONE'S FINANCIAL SPEECHES--
Listening to him at these times as, with incomparable
dexterity, he luxuriated among his figures—doing, it
seemed, just exactly what he liked with them--dealing
with them sportively, now and then, in a sort of " aban.
don" of arithmetical vivacity—it was for all the world like
watching one of those Oriental performers —those Asiatic
paragons of sleight-of-hand—tossing up their gilded balls,
some light as pith, some heavy as lead, and scattering
among these, here and there, a whirling cloud of
knives, catching each by the handle with unfailing
adroitness, as they all passed from hand to hand in
a glittering and circling maze, perfectly wonderful to
see! But, in the end—after by the hour marshalling his
figures thus with admirable precision, sustaining the
interest of his audience unflaggingly all the while, his
voice, as we have alreeady said, still ringing clear and
silvery as a bell down to the very close, his animation in
no appreciable degree diminished, but, on the contrary,
enhanced, his words—gaining force and strength as he
felt himself approaching the conclusion of his harangue,
after the manner of the prairie fires—would seem at last,blle,
it is hardly hyperbolical to say, in their perfect
mastery
Yarodf
all the figures he had been enumerating, to pour
like a flame, sweeping the whole world of them before it.—
