CONVICTION OF AN ENGLISH PICKPOCKET AT
PARIS.—John Mot, an Englishman, has just been tried in
the Court of Correctional Police for attempting to pick the
pocket of a lady at the Western Railway Station, Paris.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two
years' imprisonment and five years' police surveillance.
It will be a source of great regret to our profes-
sional readers when we inform them that Vice-Admiral
Sir Alexander Milne has for the last fortnight been suf-
fering from a very painful if not serious illness. The gal-
lant officer is, however, we are glad to say, convalescent,
and will return on Monday to his official residence from
Brighton, to which place ho had been ordered for change
by his medical advisers.—Army and Navy Gazette.
There are five college chapels in Cambridge
where no note of music is eve: heard; these are Sidney,
Emmanuel, Downing, Trinity Hall, and Pembroke. At
the last-named college there is a good organ, which how-
ever is never used owing to the puritanical notions of some
who sit high places. In an age like the present, when
the smallest country church boasts its harmonium and
choir of school children, however poor, it seems incredible
that such a state of things should exist in a university
town. Nevertheless, it is so.—Musical Standard.
THE NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE.—It appears
that with regard to the question of the legal right of the
national Sunday League to hold what they termed " Ser-
vices" on the Sunday Evenings at St. Martin's Hall, is to
be discussed before the highest legal tribunals of the
country. Mr. Baxter, the head of the "Lord's Day Ob-
servance Society," has issued a writ of summons returnable
to the Court of Queen's Bench, and which has been served
upon Mr. J. B. Langley, and to which an appearance has
been entered. .

THE GOVERNMENT REEORM BILL.—A. meeting of
the Westminster branch of the Reform League
took place last night at the Great Hall, Broadway,
Westminster, "to protest against and denounce the
paltry measure of Reform as proposed by the present
Government." In the absence of Mr. Beales, Colonel
Dickson took the chair, and in opening the proceed-
ings said the men of Westminster, after returning
such a man as Mill, were not likely to fail in sup-
porting a proper measure of Reform. Tho Government
having thrown the onus of carrying the Reform Bill on
the House of Commons, it now mainly depended upon the
Liberal members whether a good bill should or should not
be carried. Ho was sorry to say the Liberal members wore
not acting quite in the way that they should. The ques-
tion of Reform was now in the hands of the people, aud,
if they did not cease from their agitation, a measure would
bo carried. Any bill would be bad which did not contain
a lodger franchise, with a less qualification than £lO. The
two years' residence was too long for working men, who
had to move about frequently to follow their work. The
dual voting would have to he given up, and so would voting
papers, and such fancy franchises as the savings banks
franchise. The latter franchise would be peculiarly open
to the defect of allowing the creation of faggot votes.
Rich men would create large numbers of voters, by invest-
ing money in the savings banks for their servants and
dependents. Introducing Mr. Copus and Mr. Smith to
the meeting, the following resolution was duly proposed,
seconded, and unanimously carried :—" Resolved, that
this meeting, having seriously considered the propositions
of the present Government on the question of reform, do
positively denounce and ignore them, inasmuch as they do
not afford any possibility of the thousands of intelligent
mechanics of the metropolis and other largo towns be-
coming enfranchised ; and therefore they would earnestly
entreat the Liberal members of Parliament to give their
strenuous opposition to any measure that does net dispense
with dual voting, and does not establish a comprehensive
lodger franchise." Mr. Mantel, who supported this reso-
lution, took a melancholy view of the prospects of a sa-
tisfactory settlement of reform, on account of the want
of determination in the people and the want of moral
principle in the Legislature. Members of Parliament
were very fond just now in establishing some test of fitness
before admitting working men to the franchise; if a
similar test of political capacity was required of membars
before being admitted to the House of Commons, out of
the 656 certainly not more than the odd 56 would remain
to vote. Several other speakers addressed the meeting
before the proceedings were brought to a close.
THE: D. J. DRAPER LIFEBOAT.—It will probably
be remembered that amongst those who unhappily
perished in the steamship London, in the Bay of Biscay
last year, was the Rev. D. J. Draper, who with his wife
was returning to Australia. In that colony he had boon
for many years a zealous minister of the Wesleyan Metho-
dists. The Wesleyans in different parts of the kingdom,
wishing to perpetuate his memory in his native county of
Cornwall, have lately subscribed, through the Methodist
Recorder, upwards of ..£7OO to establish there a lifeboat
station. That amount has been given to the National
Lifeboat Institution, which is now engaged in forming
a lifeboat establishment on the Cornish coast accordingly
and Mullion Cove, near the Lizard, has been selected for
it. An inscription, carved on stone, will be placed over
the doorway of the lifeboat house, recording fully all the
circumstances of the case. It should be mentioned that
the Rev. Luke Wiseman and Mr. Thomas Smith have
been indefatigable in their exertions in collecting the
Draper lifeboat fund. It should also be stated that the
friends of the distinguished tragedian, G. V. Brooke, who
also unfortunately went down in the London, have raised
a considerable sum through J. W. Anson, Esq., J. L. Toole,
Esq., and other friends, to perpetuate his memory precisely
ill the D 41210 way.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.--This Days,

VICTORIA BETTING.-THIS DAY.

There was a large attendance and business was active'
for the forthcoming week's events. For the Northampton,
shire Stakes the feature was the support of John Dav;s,
and his ultimate retirement in favour of his stable com-
panion Lecturer; the latter was in immense force, being
backed down to 9to 2 taken kindly. The demonstration
in favour of the Danebury horse completely paralysed
speculation in reference to other animals. As will be seen,
100 to 6 was offered bar one. Some speculation. took
place on the Spencer Plate, a.s below :

TRAINING QUARTERS.

(The following appeared in our third edition of yes-.
terday evening.)

RICHMOND.

Plaudit galloped two miles with Newland, Strath-
conan, and Lozenge, the lot pulling up fresh and
well. They look all the better for their late rest
and dose of physic. Rose and Violet went a mile
and a half, but they do not appear to have improved
to the extent that Bumble .Kite has done. The
latter galloped a mile and three quarters. Molda-
via had a mile and a half gallop, and looks uncom-
monly well. Bob Chambers was walking. The
majority of Lord Zetland's horses are in physic.
