GOSSIP /N EXCELSIS.

The John Bull, referring to the elopement of the
Marquis of Waterford with the wife of Captain
Vivian, and that gentleman's vain pursuit to Pans,
whence he returned on Friday, says " the fault
certainly does not rest upon one pair of shoulders."
The. same paper says "It is rumoured in
fashionable and sporting circles that the eldest
son of a duke, well known on the turf and in the
hunting-field, and himself a first-rate sportsman and
popular officer in her Afajesty's Household Brigade,
is engaged to a fair and fascinating marchioness
recently widowed and bereaved of her father." This,
being interpreted, means that the Marquis of Wor-
cester, eldest son of the Duke of Beaufort,- is engaged
to the too-fascinating six-months' widow of the
Marquis of Hastings.

THE ALABAMA TREATY.

Mr. Bright has written privately to Senator Sumner,
chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
urging him to use his influence in finally disposing of the
cause of enmity between England and America. It is
understood, says the Railway News, that Mr. Bright has
since received an answer couched in a similar spirit,
and conveying the assurance of a desire to settle
the differences now outstanding between the two
countries. The same journal states that General
Grant is distinctly in favour of settling the question, and
that he supports the plan of submitting the claims of both
nations to a joint commission. Amongst these claims is
that of the Confederate bondholders, whosa case is that
large quantities of cotton, which were legally in their
possession, were unjustly seized and sold by the authorities
of the United States. The Senate has simply ignored the
treaty so far, but the Railway News hopes that it will
still consider it favourably.

AGRICULTURAL STATIST C

Mr. Tomline, M.P., who migrated from Shrews-
bury to Grimsby at the last election, calls himself a
Liberal, but in respect to agricultural matters would
seem to be a Tory of the Tories. As a Suffolk
county gentleman he writes to the East Suffolk
Chamber of Agriculture with regard to the recently-
published agricultural statistics. lle says that they are
worthless, because many freeholders make no return
to the Board of Trade, and never will. By way of
rendering these statistics more valuable, he adds :
"Most of you have threshed your corn and know
the statistics of your corn fields, which if you are
wise you will keep secret." He goes on to assert that
a Statistical Department has lately been formed at
the Board of Trade, and, having nothing to do, is
endeavouring to make work in order to justify its
existence. With this object police magistrates are
ordered to inquire into shipwrecks, and one was sent
from London to Liverpool in order to inquire
into the loss of a vessel off Yarmouth.
With this object inspectors of many things which
they are not qualified to inspect arc appointed. For
the same reason foreshores have been placed under
the Board of Trade, after all that is valuable or that
belonged to timid proprietors has been sold by the
Crown. Happily, Mr. Bright has checked the activity
of the department by refusing to appoint an inspec-
tor for bottle-nosed whales. Mr. Tomline con-
cludes that the taxpayers ought to insist upon the
abolition of this department. Economy is the order
of the day, and officers, soldiers, and marines who are
reduced without hesitation have a claim upon us for
impartial reduction.

It has become almost a case of voting between ou:

Rear-Admiral Pearse, writing from Plymouth to the

In supporting his decision he quotes the old argu-
ments, as to the " key of the Mediterranean," coaling
depot, and safe, healthy harbour, which, he says, we
cannot get at Ceuta.

ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A BARMAN.—John Pencker, a
barman, was placed at the bar charged with stealing four
postage stamps.
William Smith, proprietor of the Queen's Arms, Marl-
borough-road, Chelsea, said prisoner entered his service
on Tuesday week. Yesterday morning prosecutor received
a purse from his potman which contained a great many
postage stamps. Four of them corresponded in the tearing
away from a sheet of stamps in a glass in the bar. Pri-
soner shortly after this asked to go out to get shaved, and
although he (prosecutor) said ho could not spare him ha
suddenly left and never returned. The potman was at that
time gone to get his pots.
Mr. Arnold—Have you any question to ask this witness
prisoner ?
Prisoner—Not till I have consulted a lawyer.
William Moore, potman, said prisoner gave him the
purse yesterday to take care of, and he gave it to his
master. Prisoner did not take his things away, and left
in his slippers.

William Hopkins, 276 B, said he took the prisoner into
custody on the Marlborough-road last night. He told
him the charge, and he said nothing.
It was stated that prisoner had tried to incite the pot-
man to assist him in robbing his master.

We do not give this table as complete or absolutely
correct, but as closely approximating to the mem-
bers forming a legislative body to whom, we believe,
the world concedes the highest place, at any rate
after the British louse of Commons. The number
is so limited, and therefore so much importance
attaches to each Senator that we desire to be as
early as possible in the field with the information we
can gather about each. Virginia, Mississippi, and
Texas have no place, as they have not yet been re-
constructed, and it is not impossible that Georgia
may be expelled, while Mississippi may be admitted.
11,e may here add that we took the trouble to write
to the Times to point out a gross blun.ler in the.
spelling of a Senator's name (Lupton for Tipton),
but we presume it matters little at Printing-house-
square what they call the Senators of the United
States, for the correction was never made nor the
error acknowledged, although they come down
quick enough on an unfortunate Frenchman who
announces that the Lord Mayor, meaning Lord
MAYO, had been appointed Viceroy of India.

THE POOR-LAW ACT.

What was called the break-down of Mr. Hardy's
Poor-law Act was discovered some time since. The
Holborn "Union was ordered by the Poor-law Board
to provide, in company with the neighbouring union,
a sick .asylurn for the district. The hospital wards of
the workhouse had previously been declared too small
and inconvenient by the medical officer, who
had been called upon to answer for a dying man
being placed in one of the ordinary wards. The other
workhouse was not better provided. The guardians,
however, had a great objection to uniting with any
other body, to a separate infirmary, or to expending
any money at all. The order was to provide a hos-
pital with a sufficient number of beds. But the board
of guardians declared it would be the imposition of
fresh taxation for no purpose. They memorialised
the central board two or three times on the subject,
receiving only a confirmation of the order.
At last they succeeded in getting the
party papers to take the question up.
They again petitioned the Board—this tune, it was
thought, with some effect. The reply of the Board
has just been issued, and confirms the order more
strenuously than before. Our workhouse infirmaries
have long enough been the source of perpetual sensa-
tional disclosures' of lunatic nurses, and neglected
rules. - The Act passed by the Legislature was
designed to make the sick poor—in_the large majo-
rity of cases poor because they are siek=comfortable.
To this the guardians object.

COUNTY FINANCIAL BOARDS.
Mr. Clare Sewell Read, the tenant-farmer Norfolk
M.P., writes that he is not in favour of county
financial boards ; but he wishes that moreseutainva
or the ratepayers should take their places at the
quarter sessions. lie adds that, the Government
having determined to deal with the question of
county financial arrangements, his colleague, Mr.
Howes, will postpone his measure.

WORK POIt A NEW DEPARTMENT.
The Chamber of Agriculture Journal urges the
establishment of a special Government department
of Agriculture. At present the only matter relating
to agriculture which. Government officials are com-
petent to deal with is statistics. The Journal would
have the following subjects handed over to a
professionally - informed department : Sanitary
regulation of the importation of animals and
of the home trade and traffic in animals ;
national insurance of live stock ; the national
food supply ; tenure a land ; arterial drainage ;
water storage and irrigation ; utilisation of town
sev age ; supply of artificial manures ; public roads ;
regulation of markets; weights and measures;
statistical returns ; re' elation of agricultural labour
and education ; veterinary education ; agricultural
colleges; experimental stations ; poor relief, local
taxation, and county expenditure ; enclosures, tithes,
and copyholds.
