her ladyship and daughter to pass the winter in Italy.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs.
Gladstone remain at Penmaenmauer, Conway.
A NEW REAPER.—A very remarkable reaping
machine was tried a few days ago in a village not far from
Newcastle. Its weight does not exceed 871 b.; one horse
can draw it, and yet it does as much work in as little time
as the ponderous vehicles that require the assistance of
three horses. The inventor is the son of a Northumbrian
farmer.—Newcastle Chronicle.
HIGH FEES IN HIGH PLACES.—The House of
Commons has published its " Standing Orders," corrected
to the close of the Session. The table of fees would sur-
prise persons unacquainted with Parliamentary business.
The rate varies according to the sum intended to be laid out
upon the undertaking to be sanctioned. If a town deter-
mine on a great public improvement, on which a million
and a half of money is to be laid out, the first step is to de-
posit a petition for leave to bring in a bill before the House
—but the House cannot see the petition unless there is a
£5O note in it. On the first reading of the bill, on the second
reading, on the report from the select committee on the bill,
and even after approval by the select committee, on the
third reading, too, down to the time when the house has to
part with the bill, it can see no merit in t unless on each of
these steps £l5O be paid before the bill is put to the vote.
These are parts of the price which " the powers that be"
charge for n Act of Parliament,
