FOREIGN POLICY.—The following are the terms
of Lord Stratford's motion in the House of Lords which
stands for this day :—" That an humble address be pre-
sented to her Majesty, expressing the thanks of this house
for her Majesty's gracious communication of the deeply im-
portant correspondence on Italian affairs presented recently
to both :houses of Parliament by her Majesty's command,
and gratefully acknowledging the unquestionable evidence
which that correspondence affords of her Majesty's earnest
and impartial endeavours to avertthe ealamity of war; that
her Majesty may be assured of the loyal confidence with
which this house relies on her Majesty's determination to
maintain inviolate the neutrality, as therein declared, of
her Majesty's dominions; that, finally, it be represented to
her Majesty, as the opinion of this house, that, while every
suitable and vigorous effort is made, under her Majesty's
authority, for the, completion of our defences on sea and
land, the operations of the belligerent Powers should be
carefully observed, with a view in particular to such even-
tual offers of mediation on her Majesty's part as may con-
tribute with due effect to the early conclusion of peace on
just and comprehensive terms."

THE LIVERPOOL DOCK TELEGRAPH. The
Mersey Harbour and Dock Board, at their meeting yester-
dry, agreed to lease the working of the line of telegraph
which has been just completed along the line of docks, to a
public company, instead of keeping it in their own hands.
The cost of repair and maintenance was estimated at £5O
per annum, the total receipts for the transmission of mes -
sages at £1,565, andthe working expenses at £1,124, leaving
a profit of £441.
ABOLITION OF CHURCH-RATES.—Mr. Alcock's
bill for the voluntary commutation of church-rates has been
revived. A summary of its provisions has already appeared
in The Sun. The Charity Commissioners are empowered,
otohitAfe
sc::00:f
pi
after having secured a yearly sum sufficient to defray the
expenses properly payable out of church-rates, to declare
church-rates abolished in the particular parish where such
provision may have been made. Rent-charges may be
granted by corporations, but the Mortmain. Act will remain
intact.
ACCIDENT IN THE BLACKFRIARS-ROAD.—Yes-
terday evening as a drove of cows with a bull amongst them
was proceeding along the Blackfriars-road, the poor animals
apparently suffering much from thirst, a little boy
about 10
years of age happened to cross in front of them, upon which,
either maddened from the heat or excited by a red handker-
chief which the child wore, the bull rushed upon him,
knocking him down and breaking two ribs, besides fractur-
ing the left thigh. The child, who is the son of a brick-
layer in the Lambeth New-cut, is in a very precarious eon
dition. It may be remarked that during such weather as
as the present drinking accommodation for the various
overdriven herds of animals is urgently called for.
