TITS LI/3%14AL PArry.—A meeting of Liberal
members of the House of Commons Crook place yesterday,
at the town residence of Mr. Foljambe, M.P. for Retford.

House of Commons to support the Russell Administration,
and likewise engaging Parliament to legislate on the ques-
tion of reform in the next session, to be moved by some
prominent Ministerial supporter, was considered. This
mode of proceeding was abandoned on its being intimated
that the noble lord tho member for Chester (Earl Grosve-
nor) and some others of the Adullamitos were determinedly
opposed to that paragraph in the Royal speech which
bound Parliament to legislate on reform.

THE BREADALBANE SUCCESSION CASE.----EDIN-
BURGH, Tuesday.—Judgment was given by the
Court of Session to-day in the case of the competitors for
the Breadalbano succession. The parties wore Lieutenant
Charles William Campbell, of the 2d Bengal Cavalry, pur-
suer ; and John Alexander Gavin Campbell, of Glonfalloch,
defender. The subject of competition was the title of Earl
of 13readalbane and Holland, Viscount of Tay and Lord
Glenorchy, in the peerage of Scotland, and the entailed
estates of Breadalbano and lnverardan, situated in the
counties of Perth and Argyll, and said to be of the annual
value of above £50,000. The case originally came before
Lord Barcaple as Lord Ordinary, and after lengthened
pleadings and inquiry he found in favour of Glenfalloch.
The pursuer appealed to the First Division, who called in
the other judges of the court into their :counsels. One
judge, Lord Kinloch, got leave to withdraw on account of
his propinquity to the pursuer; but the eight judges con-
sulted, whose opinions were boxed on Saturday, wore una-
nimous in adhering to the judgment of the Lord Ordinary.
To-day their lordships in the First Division formally de.

livered judgment. The President and Lord Deas were for
Glenfalloch, Lords Curriehill and Ardmillan for Boreland.
The opinions of the whole of the judges having been as.
certained, it was found that there was ton to two for Glen-
falloch.

RECEPTION OF THE MINISTERS AT WINDSOR. _A
large number of the Liberal electors of Windsor met
at the Great Western Railway station yesterday to testify
their confidence in the Ministers, on their arrival en roue
to the Castle to meet her Majesty. The train reached the
station at half-past twelve o'clock, and as it drew up the
Ministers were loudly cheered. With the cheers there
were several calls made for a dissolution rather than a re-
signation. There was a similar manifestation of feeling
on their leaving for London at half-past two o'clock.

flippers. It is covered with a bony shield extending from
one extremity to the other, broad and hard at the anterior
part, and graduating with softer consistency to a point at
the posterior end. This osseous covering has five promi-
nent ridges extending longitudinally over its surface. The
head and neck resemble those of a tortoise. It weighs 15
cwt. and is 13 feet long.—New South Wales Paper.

THE SARDINE FISHERY.—The Phare de la Loire
states that the sardine fishery is most abundant on the
coast, some boats having caught as many as 32,000 fish
each.

There has been much interruption in the arrival
of the Madrid papers in Paris ; but a private letter
from that capital says that the outbreak was very
serious, and that " some of the streets were strewed
with dead bodies."
