PRINTERS AND TIIE BIBLE

MONOPOLY.

We understand that a movement has been com-
menced among the printers to prevent the abuse of
the Royal prerogative for conferring again a mono-
poly of printing the Bible on any printer; and t 3 de-
mand English printers may be as fully at liberty as
Scot& printers to enter the market on equal terms.
We hope the demonstration will be one which
will leave our wavering Home Secretary no option.
Let us not, however, be saddled with a costly and
useless board, as in Scotland. Our printers need
no Government supervision.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.—Two of the sons of Capt.
W. C. Browne, R.N., secretary to the Royal Yacht Squa-
dron, took a boat on Monday last, and having rowed past,
Egypt, anchored in about 10 feet water off the boundary
rails of Dottens Farm, intending to have a swim. They
had not been long in the water when the youngest, about
11 years of age, found the tide ran too strong for him, and
was fast carrying him away from the boat, and he called to
his brother to assist him, which he immediately did ; and
though only 14 years of age, he got his youngest brother
on his back, and for a quarter of an hour vainly strove to
regain the boat. At last, feeling his strength fail him, he
was obliged to leave his brother to his fate, and swim to
the boat. His unfortunate brother sank, and though the
utmost exertions have been used to recover the body, it has
not yet been found. Turner Turner, Esq., has to-day
(Thursday) had his fine yacht, the Constance, off Egypt,
and had her guns repeatedly discharged, hoping by that
means to float the body, but all to no purpose, the bereaved
parents having been unsuccessful in finding the body of
their child,

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, at-
tended by Col. the Hon. R. Bruce and Capt. Keppel, left
Buckingham Palace at half-past 8 o'clock yesterday morn-
