AN IMPORTANT MATTEL/.

For some time past there has been a great quarrel
going on in diplomatic circles. M. Musurus, the
Turkish Ambassador, having precedence of Count
Bulow, the Danish Minister, claimed that his
daughters (he is a widower) should have precedence
-of the Countess. The matter became so serious that
it was referred to the Queen, who decided in favour
of the Countess.

Railway Terminus, King's Cross.

Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN.

'His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G.

President-His Grace the Duke of Buccimieu, LG.
This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to
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
addition 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.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions aro received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansore,,and Co., Abchurch-lano ; also by Messrs.

THE TRADES UNIONS BILL.

Who are the authors of Free Trade P To which
political party does the Reform Bill belong ? These
are questions which nothing but the answer of an
angel—and hardly that—would set at rest. Another
query, with equally doubtful answer, is raised by the
Standard—To whom belongs the short Act on trades
unions which the Government has promised to bring
in? The Standard charges the Government with appro-
priating the property of the Opposition, and declares
thatMr.Birley's notice of a question on the subject, and
Mr. W. H. Smith's announced intention of intro-
ducing a bill for the same purpose as that of the
promised Government measure, deprive the Govern-
ment of any credit they may assume for taking the
initiative in the matter. "It is only right,"
our contemporary adds, " that those in whose inte-
rest this protection of the funds of trades unions is
proposed should know to whose agency they are
really indebted for this much-desired proposal."

MR. HEPWORTH DIXON.

The author of " New America" seems to have been
smitten by the mania for travelling. The Morning
Herald says he is going to Russia, and will not
return to the editorial chair of the Athenaum. We
presume that Dr. Doran, who has been his deputy
hitherto, will take the vacant post.

The directors diaw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected ou 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, tinder 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 capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

DEATH OF LORD TAUNTON.— It is with much re-
regret we announce the sudden death of Lord Taunton.
He died between two and three o'clock yesterday after-
noon, after an illness of only a few hours. On Tuesday
ho spoke in the debate upon the Irish Church with even
more than his accustomed impressiveness and authority;
he spoke again shortly on Friday. Although he sat ten
years in the House of Lords Lord Ttitunton will be best
known as Mr. Labouchere, under whA name the longer
as well as the more active portion of his political life was
spent, but in both Houses of Parliament he was generally
and highly respected.
London, England, 1869-07-14

SPELLING BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT.

An old controversy among orthographists is raised
in a new form. The Irish Church Bill having occa-
sion to speak of the plural of " money" has " monies."
This, it is pointed out, breaks one of the foundation
rules of English spelling. All grammarians lay
down that "y " preceded by a vowel adds "s " for
the plural; thus" moneys," not "monies," is the
proper way of denominating the amount to be
handed to the Irish Church Commissioners. Happily
the statutes at large are never looked at for correct
grammar or proper spelling. Parliamentary English
is not always Queen's English.

THE PUNISHMENT AND THE OFFENCE.

One of those cases of priliul
.facie injustice which
so often lose their first appearance of lur:ship on
investigation has just occurred at Brantford.
A hitherto respected labourer, charged with
stealing three cabbages from his master, who
pleaded that he had no idea that his
taking home a few for Sunday would be
objected to, was oniVionday sentenced to two months'
hard labour by the magistrates. The Chairman of
the Bench, in giving his sentence, stated that as. a
great number of petty thefts had been committed in
this way of late, he thought it time to put a stop to
them. This may be, and there may be other facts
behind, but certainly two months' imprisonment does
seem a hard punishment for a first proven offence.

THE FRANCO•BELGIAN RIDICULIIS MITS.

There is now no doubt that the settlement come to in
the affair of the Belgian railways has in no way involved
either the honour or the independence of Belgium.
According to the information given by the Echo
du Parlement, the official paper of Brussels, no
Belgian line has been leased or in any way handed
over to the control of the French company. In
fact, all that has been arranged is a system of through
booking, which might, the Pall Mall Gatette thinks, have
been settled in half-an-hour by a couple of business men.
" Was there ever such a case of a mountainlong in labour
bringing forth such a ridiculous mouse?" asks the Indtven•
dance Beige. Is it possible that this is the question which
has disquieted Europe and alarmed Belgium for the last
six months ?

SUICIDE OP AN EMPEROR'S PRESERVER.

A melancholy event has just taken place at St. Peters-
burg. In 1866, it will be remembered, an attempt to assas-
sinate the Emperor Alexander was made in the Russian
capital, and was frustrated by a Muscovite journeyman
hatter, named Komissarow, who thrust aside the arm of
the assassin. The Emperor and his people munificently
manifested their gratitude for the event. It seems that
Komissarow is a plebeian name, and the hatter was there-
fore called Kostromski, which is not plebeian. A landed
estate was given him. A national subscription realised
£40,000. He was made colonel of a regiment. But all
his good fortune proved but a bane to him. The poor
ignorant man had no idea of turning his advantages to
proper account. He indulged excessively in spirituous
liquors, and this vice has been his ruin. He has just com-
mitted suicide at the age of 33.

NATIONAL AND DIETROPOLITAN EXPENDITURE.

The metropolis is privileged, and has to pay for its
privileges. It possesses, for instance, the bulk of the
national institutions, and has to pay for watching
them. At this there has been some slight grumbling,
it being argued that for that which is national the
nation should pay, leaving that only which is local
to be provided for by local rates. But the metropo-
litan ratepayers must not be too hasty in making
their demands, for it is not quite clear that the's),
would gain if a proper subdivision were
made. At any rate, the account would not
be altogether on one side. They have to pay
for a few policemen it is true, and to that extent the
nation is benefited ; but there aro certain other
items down in the national bill which are merely
metropolitan as to locality, and cannot in any sense
he said to belong to the nation. There are the parks,
for instance. The benefit of these places is obtained by
inhabitants of London ; yet they are paid for in the
national grants. At this, perhaps, we should be dis-
pcsed to grumble very little, were it not that part of
the outlay does not even benefit dwellers in the
metropolis generally. The ornamental water in
Regent's Park is a case in point. In consequence
of the sad accident which happened there a few
winters hack, its bottom has been levelled and raised,
and has cost the nation no little sum. Now a part of
Ai* very water is DortiQued offaula.erti2yed only

COMPLIMENTS BETWEEN ANTAGONISTS.

Lord Derby is said to have written a very compli-
mentary letter to Mr. Gladstone, thanking the
Premier for his " Juventus Mundi." The late Con-
servative leader expresses his surprise that the
present First Minister should have found time amid
all his numerous engagements for a work of this
kind. Lord Derby's translation and Mr. Gladstone's
studies of " Homer" prove that there is no incom-
patibility between a thorough acquaintance with the
past, and active participation in present, events.

The finishing stroke of the Peers to the Irish Church
Bill was given on Monday, when the bill was read
a third time and passed without a division.
On the motion of the Earl of Devon, the ori-
ginal clause disabling the Irish bishops from sitting in
the House of Lords was reinserted. The proposal was
opposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury; the Dukes of
Abercorn, Buckingham, and Marlborough ; Earls Derby
and Malmesbury ; the Bishops of Ely, Gloucester and
Bristol, Lichfield, Peterborough, and Rochester ; and
Lords Cairns, Chelmsford, Redesdale, and Strathnairn.
The Irish bishops abstained from voting. The majority
included the Dukes of Cleveland, Devonshire, St. Albans,
Sutherland, and Wellington; the Marquises of Bath,
Lansdowne, and Normanby ; Earls Carnarvon, Cla-
rendon, Cowley, Denbigh, Devon (teller), Granville,
Grey, Russell, Spencer, and Stanhope ; Viscounts
Eversley, Halifax, and Sidmouth ; and Lords Dufferin,
Lawrence, Penzance, Romilly, Somerhill (Marquis of
Clanricarde), Stanley of Alderley, and Westbury. The
Marquis of Salisbury did not vote.
The next division was taken on Earl Stanhope's
proposal providing for concurrent endowment. The
majority (121) was composed of many Liberals, among
whom were the Dukes of Cleveland, Devonshire,
Grafton, and Somerset ; Earls Cowley, Cowper,
Fitzwilliam, Fortescue, Grey (teller), Lichfield, Radnor,
and Russell; Viscounts Halifax and Leinster (the Duke
of Leinster) ; and Lords Belper, Calthorpe, Ebury,
Houghton, Lawrence, Lyttelton, Lyveden, Meredyth
(Lord Athlumley), Alonteagle, Overstone, Poltimore,
Romilly, Rossie (Lord Kinnaird), Seymour, Sower-
bill, Stanley of Alderley, Stratheden, and West-
bury. The following also voted in favour of concur-
rent endowment :—Tge Duke of Cambridge, the Arch-
bishops of CanterburyitndYork, the Marquis of Salisbury,
Earls Carnarvon and Devon, and the Bishops of Ely,
Gloucester and Bristol, Lichfield, Peterborough, and
Rochester. The minority (114) included the Dukes of Buck-
ingham, Marlborough, St. Albans, and Sutherland; the Mar-
quises of Exeter, Lansdowne, and .Normanby ; the Earls
of Bandon, Cadogan, Derby, Harrowby, Hillsborough
(Marquis of Downshirc), Kellie, and Shaftesbury ; Vis-
counts Ciancarty and Gough ; the Bishops of Norwich
and Tuam ; and Lords Cairns, Chelmsford, Colville of
Culross, Fitzwalter, Londesborough, Raglan, Redesdale,
Silchester (Earl of Longford), Stewart of Garlies, and
Willoughby de Broke.

EMIGRATION.

A memorial on the subject of pauper emigration,
which is to be presented to the President of the Poor-
law Board, has been under the consideration of the
boards of guardians of the metropolis. There was
a long discussion at Poplar, where great distress pre-
vailed last winter. The Rev. Mr. Kitto believed that
the Poor-law Board would take up the matter, and
advised the adoption of a memorial in general terms.
Mr. Cole was against the scheme, as he thought
people would come from all parts of the country in
order to possess the metropolitan fund. The ques-
tion was also discussed at the St. Olave's Board of
Guardians. The chairman was in favour of the
guardians assisting the needy to emigrate, and the
relieving officer considered emigration to be the only
way of reducing pauperism. Representatives of the
various boards were to attend the forth-
coming conference.

WILLIAM JERDAN.

A venerable man of letters has just died.
William Jerdan, 88 years of age, whose recent con-
tributions to several magazines have called forth
much remark, departed this life a few days ago. He
was acquainted with almost all the best-known
literary and other well-known men of the past
generation, and was the author of the interesting
volume of personal recollections, a Men I Have
Known." It was Mr. Jerdan who seized and detained
Bellingham just after he had assassinated Mr. Percival.
He was then a reporter for the press, and his connection
pith periodical literature continued up to the time of
his death. For years he had given to the Leisure
Hour sketches of distinguished men ; Fraser's Maga-
ziae only a few numbers back had a contribution from
him ; and the Gentleman's Magazine in its last two
issues contain articles from his pen on the celebrated
" Beefsteak Club." He was a Scot, and was edu-
cated for the Scotch Bar, but deserted his profession
and came to London to enter on the labours of
literature.

DISTURBANCES IN PORTUGAL.

Chronic discontent seems to reign in the Portuguese
dominions. At a town not far from Lisbon, a serious
popular outbreak has just broken out. The people to
the number of 1,200 assembled and paraded the streets,
inveighing against the new taxes. Thinking apparently
that destroying State property would be a rational pre-
liminary to the reduction of imposts, they repaired to the
local government establishment and burned State securi.
ties of cons'derab'e va'ue. Troops were sent against
them. Agitation prevails in other parts of Portuguese
territory. Altogether the Spanish revolution seems to
have had a contagious effect. Once more a Ministerial
crisis is looked for.

DROWNING.

Every day, just at this season, brings with it large
batches of deaths from drowning, so many, that any
papers which recorded them all would be most
lugubrious reading. Bathing, boating, and steaming
are now the favourite pleasures, as being the coolest
way of obtaining enjoyment. The results are most
lamentable as regards human life; for, as one of our
contemporaries rather irreverently remarks, " the
drowning season has set in.' Its severity may,
perhaps, be somewhat mitigated if people will only
take a little trouble to learn to float. They may not
ue
have time to learn to swim, but to float requires
nothing beyond confidence ; the knowledge that the

The Star says there has been another revolution of July,
but this is a revolution in the due course of law—one resting
upon order, whilst it points the way to progress. The
Daily News accepts the Emperor's concessions as genuine,
and observes that if they_ an fairly carried out, the con-
stitutional States of Europe may 'welcome the return of
France to their number, and will see in the fact a new
guarantee of peace. Nothing that the Emperor has done
for so many years appears so truly prudent as this timely
declaration of a readiness to meet the wishes of France,
by accepting the principles of parliamentary government.
The Post doubts whether the concessions are such as the
French people are likely to make good use of ; but admits
that it will he indesd a triumph for the Emperor if he
can successfully establish constitutional government in
France.

THE ALLEGED CONFESSIO,Y OP THE
BROMLEY MURDER.

A great deal of surprise has been manifested at Bromley
at the publication of a detailed confession of the murder,
by a man named Deadman, of the woman Jackson, who
was found dead in a well at Mason's-hill, ih January
1868. This so-called confession gives most remarkable
details of the commission of the crime, and adds
that it has only been extorted, as it were, by the
approaching death of the alleged murderer, who shortly
afterwards died. The narrative, however, lacks one or two
important particulars, for the " confession" has never
been made at all, and the man Deadman" somewhat
belies his name, as be is alive and wall at Westerham,
where he is employed as a painter by the master to whom
he served his time. It is understood that the matter will
at once be legally investigated. It will probably be remem-
bered that two men, of whom Deadman was one, were
tried and acquitted. The second man is now living at
Bromley.

ARREST OF LORD CHARLES HAMILTON.

An arrest by sheriff's officers, under circumstances ex-
citing a considerable amount of merriment at the West-
end, took place on Wednesday about noon. For some time
past Lord Charles George Archibald Hamilton, brother of
the Duke of Hamilton, has been in monetary difficulties,
and doubtless aware of certain gentlemen attending
upon him. His movements were at length so closely
watched as to become quite unpleasant, and in this
dilemma his lordship confided his troubles to a well-
known Hansom cab-driver, named Sawyer ; and, aided
by cabby's knowledge of the limbs of the law, the
crisis was staved off until Wednesday. Baffled in many
attempts to capture their client, a close watch was set, and
at length Sawyer's anxiety for the safety of Lord Charles
was discovered. A Hansom cab, worthy of his distin-
guished position, had been placed at his lordship's
service by a coach proprietor in Now Bond-street. Sawyer
was on Wednesday driving his lordship in the direction of
Arlington-street, when suddely several men, stationed
at the corner of Bennett,street, made a dash at the
horse's head. The cabman, appreciating the position
of affairs, by a touch of his whip made the horse
leap forward. One man was thrown down, and, while
another attempted to enter the cab, his lordship jumped
out on the opposite side. His lordship ran with all speed
for Jermyn-street, closely pursued by the bailiffs, who, after
a smart chase, effected his capture. Sawyer followed
leisurely with his Hansom, and, after the capture, received
back his "fare," and drove him off in company of the officers
to Whitecress-street.—Telegraph.

THE RISING IN SPAIN,

The French papers evidently regard the state of affairs
in Spain as most critical, and seem to have little faith in
the- power of the Government to restore order. The
measure for the suspension of individual rights which Las
been presented to the Cortes is regarded as most significant,
and the Constitution which was to have been the most
liberal in the world is said to be a dead letter. The guarantees
which it was to furnish have been suspended, and Spain
is likely to fall into a state of sicgs, and to pass under the
sway of a dictatorship Those who are in authority, an 3
whose mistakes have brought about these results, declare
that they cannot re-establish order unless they can nce
the free expression of opinion in the county. The details
which have been given by the Madrid Ga:ette itself are
indicative of the spread of the revolt. F, ars are site --
tained lest the strong measures adopted by the Govern-
ment may not increase the evil that they are intended to
remedy.

It is reported that Marshal Prim and the Regent Seirano
have become convinced of the impossibility of seating Ihe
Duke of Genoa on the threw) of SI a'n, and have confer r d
with the Portuguese Minister, who has almost per.,ta,led
Don Fernando to accept the crcwn he refuse d
few months ago. It seems the general opinion that there
is not a moment to be lost in tho matter, and that if . pain
bag not a King in a very short space, Republicanism will
be proclaimed in fact as well as in theory.
