TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

Mr. Melly, M.P., addressed, a few days back, a meeting
held in Staffordshire. The meeting was heldin connection
with the Art, Scientific, and Literary Institute at Burslem,
the birthplace of Josiah Wedgwood, in course of erection
as a memorial of the great potter, and the first stone of
which was laid by Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Melly's subject
was technical education. Technical education, said
he, had become one of the cries of the day.
Suddenly it was found that hundreds of thousands of
window frames, door frames, and doors had arrived from
Sweden and Norway, followed a few days after by twelve
locomotive steam-engines from Belgium, and forthwith
everybody rushed to the conclusion that our carpenters
and joiners, and our workers in iron and brass bad had
their education neglected, and that we were being rivalled
and outdone by foreign nations. This, of course, led to
questions in the House of Commons, and equally, of course,
to the issue of a commission of inquiry, and he found
from the ponderous blue-book which resulted from that
commission that we were behind one or two nations in
Europe in the matter of schools of science and art. Com-
paring Ergland with these countries, they were bound to
admit that, though in the matter of art England lagged
not far behind, in respect of technical education we were
a long way behind other nations. Still, he was not going
to say that because some hundred thousand door and

window frames, and a dozen steam-engines had been im-
ported into England, the sun of England's commercial
and manufacturing prosperity was setting. On the con-
trary, he hailed with satisfaction everything that tended
to the commercial intercourse of nations, believing that to
be one of the surest means of securing peace, increasing
the comforts of mankind, and bringing about the brother-
hood of nations. Mr. Beresford Hope delivered an
eloquent and interesting address on art education, and-
the application of art to everyday life ; and Mr. J. C.
Buckmaster, organiser of the science and art classes in
connection with the Committee of Council on Education,
followed with an able and practical speech on technical
education. Mr. Roden, one of the candidates for the
borough of Stoke-on-Trent, and other gentlemen addressed
the meeting, which was largely attended, and which unani-
mously passed resolutions in support of the Wedgwood
Institute, and the establishment of technical education
classes in connection with it The memorial building is to
be formally opened next Easter with an art exhibition.
Its erection will cost upwards of £9,000, and there is still
a deficit of about £1,400.

P IN.

The Libel te tells a sensational story of a forthcoming
Carlist manifestation. It says Gat on Thursday evening
four persons h astily passed through Paris on the route to Lon-
don, 'taking their way to the residence of General Cabrera
immediately on their arrival in the English capital. These
persons were no other than Carlist emissaries, sent to per-
suade the veteran Carlist leader that the time for a deci-
sive movement on Lehalf of the party had arrived. They
will endeavour to induce him to return to Spain, where
his presence, it is thought, will at once have the effect of
raising Navarre and the Basque provinces in the Carlist
interest.

The Spectator says the chances of the Republicans have
increased during the week. Time is telling on the Repub-
lican side, and not on the side of Constitutienalim; the
chhls of the movement perceive this clearly, and are
hesitating. It is true that Olers.ga., Lelieved in Spain to
be her ablest civilian, Las pronounced in favour of
monarchy ; Lut he does not prcclaim, he only proposes
this solution ; whilst Pi:ny, who was znneh more decided,
now c.plalns that he will rupect the national verdict,
whatever it may be. There is this point in favour of a
Federal Republic—Spain is, of all countries in the world,
the one in which provincial feeling is the strongest.

The Saturday :Review observes that the Spaniards will
ue fortunate if they can get hold of a king with so much
experience and with so creditable a public history as that
of Ferdinand of Portugal. The STectator accepts the
report that this prince has declined the offer of th•
Spanish crown ; hut this is by no means certain.
Reactionary agents are endeavouring to spread discon-
tent and disunion in many of the provinces, but they have
met with but very trifling success.

The Paris corresperdcitt of the Standard continues to
maintain that Prince Alfred is the most popular of the
possible candidates fur the throne. Were he to come
forward, he would meet with a reception all but unani-
mous. Rumours that the candidature of Don Carlos was
supported at the Tuileries are current at Paris, but they
are not supported by any corroborative facts.

NEED IT BE SO ?

" A Country Vicar" puts a very pertinent ques-
tion to the editor of the Times. He wants to know
whether there is any necessity for keeping up the
old rule—a relic of the pre-Rowland-Hill days—
under which the death of a private in the army is nor
notified to the nearest relatives. "On the 10th of
August," he writes, " a private of the —th Regimendied in hospital at Dover. His father and mother are
living in a Bedfordshire village. No intimation of his
death reachrs them until two months after it
occurred. It comes then by accident, in the form of
an endorsement written on a letter returned to the
bereaved mother through the Dead Letter Office."
Inquiry being made, it is discov,:r,d that it is " the
custom " not to send news of the death to the father
or mother of a dead soldier. If there be such a
custom, it is certainly " more honoured in the bread)
than in the observance."

A DRUNKEN ACCIDENT.

Matthew Henley, brewer's draymani was pleased t 0
get drunk. In that state ho was driving a light one-
horse -dray. The alcohol not only stimulated his
pulse, but accelerated his driving pace. He went on
the wrong side of the road, passing the end of a cab
rank, so that he could not see where he was going.
An old woman of 84 was crossino.9,, Bishopsgate-street
at the time, was knocked down by the vehicle, and
received injuries which ultimately proved fatal. Th,
3oroner's jury returned a verdict of "accidental
death," and thus he escaped a prosecution for
manslaughter. Ile was charged before the Lord
Mayor with furious driving, and was fined 405., the
maximum allowed by the i.aw. The result of this sass
Win give poor comfort to timid pedestrians. Instead
of taking his trial for manslaughter, the felloW pays a
small fine, and will probably drive through the streets
in a drunken state again. As the traffic of the
metropolis is now conducted, even the most careful
are in continual danger of being run over, while the
infirm, whether deaf, blind, or old, run a fearful risk.
TO get out of the way of the hansan. alone, with its
backings, dodgings, and furious pace, requires no
small strategical skill.

THE " TRAMP " AND ME (4 DOITGII."

That " beardless gent," the London rough: witn
his neck muffled up, and vulgar, expressionless
features, together with his brother, the ragged,
dirty country tramp, with slyer walk and more
effeminate " cut," really give more trouble to our
social philosophers than any other classes. how can
they be dealt with ? Everybody is willing to "put
them down." But how ? Evidently what is wanted
is some system, not being tyrannical, under which
everybody shall be expected to have some means of
livelihood. Those who have net, should have the
means proyided for them. Those who won't work
might thus be easily
.marked out. Then there is the
difficulty of supervising them. Sir Walter Crofton
suggested at the Social Science Congress, that
after a man has once been convicted he should bo
required to report himself, as under the pre-
sent " ticket-of-leave " system, until he gave
evidence of reformation. This would certainly
reduce the difficulty considerably. But the great

PETROLETJ3I.

A chaplain of the Bishop of Gibraltar gives a
pleasant account of a voyage from Marseilles to
Malba, by the Egyptis, which carried the English and
French mailbags. There were nearly 100 passen-
gers on board, who had the satisfaction of walking
among 100 barrels of petroleum and 20 carboys of
vitriol which were placed on deck. They had no
cover over them, the corks of the carboys were not
even tied across, and did not exceed an inch in their
insertion into the neck of the globular cases. The
deck passengers and sailors were continually smok-
ing. This is stated to be by no means an unusual
cargo. The passengers were universally indignant,
and the chaplain assumes no ostentatious piety when
he tells us that on his arrival at Malta he thanked
God. If the conscience of the captain was like that
of the ancient mariner when he carried the alba-
tross about his neck, he must have avoided the
angry looks of the passengers as much as possible.

LITERARY, MUSICAL, AND THEATRICAL ITEMS.

The Duke of Edinburgh's book, "The Cruise of
the Galatea," will shortly be published. It is being
brought out by the Lord Mayor, Mr. Allen.—The
Christy Minstrels have lately been summoned to
Balmoral, not to amuse Royalty, but to gratify the
Royal Jeames's.—The Orchestra says that the Sunday
orchestra is likely to be revived in our churches. In
one church a country band went through the
service, greatly to the delight of the Bishop
of London, who mentioned the circumstance
in the highest quarters, " and an august
personage Lis intimated a desire to hear the
instrumental band in the services of her chapel."—
Mr. Palgrave Simpson has been elected secretary of
the Dramatic Authors' Society, in the place of Mr.
Stirling Coyne.—The widow of Charles Kean has
restored to Mr. Lovell the copyright of the two
dramas, " The -Wife's Secret," and " The Trial of
Love."—The organ at St. James's Hall, which cost
£730, has just been sold for £lOO.

THE " TABLET."

The Tablet has lately changed editors. This alte-
ration is said to be due to the strong Conservatism
of Mr. Wallis, the late editor, which has induced him
to support Mr. Disraeli, in spite of his No-Popery cry,
rather than Mr. Gladstone,though he is for disestablish-
ing the Irish Protestant Church. Mr. Wallis rather
represents the old English Romanism with its strong
family pride, than the neo-Romanists with their
religious fervour. The influence of Archbishop
Manning has, it is said, induced the change of
editorship, and of the policy which will no doub+
follow.

THE ROYAL FAMILY.

The Army and .Arazy Gazette says the projected
journey of their Royal highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales abroad has now been definitely
decided. They will leave England about the middle
of November to proceed to Paris, Germany, and
Denmark ; afterwards Greece and a portion of Asia
Minor will be visited ; and, finally, the distinguished
,voyagers will proceed up the Nile to the second
cataract. The celebrated African traveller, Sir
Samuel Baker, will accompany them on this portion
of the ;journey. No yacht being at present available
which is suitable for the purpose, a fast steam frigate
will be told off for the sea passages. The
suite will consist of Lady Morton, hon. Mrs.
Grey, Colonel Keppel, and Dr. Minter.—
The English Churchman stat:.'s that the Prince of
Wales is about to visit Constantinople, and that the
Sultan has placed a splendid palace at his Royal
Highness's disposal.—The Prince and the Princess will
probably be present on one day of the Liverpool
races during their stay at Knowsley.—The Duke of
Edinburgh has been receiving lessons in ornithology
and taxidermy, to enable him to preserve such birds
as ho may shoot during his approaching voyage
round the world.—llis Royal Highness the Du le of
Edinburgh is ordered by the Admiralty to hold him-
self in readiness to proceed to sea not later than
November, but it is quite possible that the Galatea
may make an earlier start, if agreeable tothe Prince.—
The Prince and the Princess of Wales attended service
at All Saints, Margaret-street, London, on St. Luke's
Day. They walked in and took their places with the
rest of the congregation in the most unassuminr,
manner, the Prince sitting on the man's side, the
Princess on the woman's. The Princess looked par-
ticularly well. She has recently visited the Children's
Hospital, in Great Ormond-street.

CHATHAM.

Admiral George Elliot, who was beaten by a large
majority by Mr. Otway at the last election here,
has put forth his address to the electors of the
borough as a Conservative candidate in opposition
to that gentleman. The address does not deal much
with general politics, the gallant candidate dwell-
ing more particularly on topics which he thinks will
interest the voters in a dockyard and garrison
town. He complains of the reductions in the royal
dockyard; which establishments he would maintain
in the highest state of efficiency; and he condemns
the policy of the last Liberal Government in con-
fining the operations of Chatham yard to building
only, sending all ships for repairs to the Western
yards. lie is entirely opposed to the disestablish-
ment of the Irish Church. The gallant Admiral
will shortly commence a personal canvass of the
constituency.

WESTON'S MUSIC HALL.

Mr. Sweasey, the proprietor of this very favourite
place of public entertainment, has made a most im-
portant addition to the artistes at present employed
by securing the services of the " Flying Farinis,"
the most astonishing performers on the trapeze that
have yet appeared. Although the Farini's per-
formances may be called "sensational," the great
neatness and precision with which it is executed
entirely divests it of that unpleasant feeling of fear
which generally takes hold of a great portion of an
audience when such feats are usually performed.
For safety sake a fine net work is placed beneath
the performers, so that in the event of a mishap the
precaution taken would prevent any dangerous re-
sult, and, knowing this, the audience look on the
wonderful evolutions with the greatest surprise and
pleasure. The vocal talent here is very strong.
Many of the artistes can only be heard at this esta-
blishment, and amongst them we may specially
mention the Spanish Minstrels, and Lelia and
Florence Ellis. Miss Louie Sherrington and
Miss Nelly Power seem special favourites, judg-
ing from the applause they receive, and the in-
strumental music, under the direction of Mr. P.
Corrie, is superior to anything of the kind given at
similar establishments. It appears to be a rule to
give at least a couple of overtures during the even-
ing ; and an excellent rule it is ; for, undoubtedly,
the true musician experiences a treat at Weston's
which assuredly he can get nowhere else. It is very
satisfactory to find the hall so well attended, and
whilst it is conducted so excellently there is little
fear of a diminution of its popularity.
London, England, 1868-09-04

CAM EIZBURY IL4LL.

The " Canterbury" seems to be the centre of
mirth and comicality. Mr. Holland, the spirited
prorrietor, flies at high game, like a true sportsman
he invariably hits his mark, and the result is that
an entertainment is presented for the gratification
of his supporters that gives universal satisfaction.
Hardly has the excitement of the Blondin engage-
ment passed away than another great artiste is
secured for the Canterbury, and in the person of
Niblo we have one of the most astonishing of
gymnasts, whose feats o❑ the high trapeze are
something quite astonishing. Same of his tricks
arc entirely novel, and all are performed with a
coolness and ease that goes a great way to calm any
uneasiue,s that might otherwise arise. His crown-
ing act is the throwing a double somersault, which
;s certainly a mo,t extraordinary performance. The
" Canterbury Christys" are a very talented troupe,
their songs are all new, and their singing is deserv-
ing of the highest praise. Then we have Mr. Ley-
bourne, the great star comique, whose appearance
is the signal for applause, and to crown all a grand
watteau ballet, beautifully mounted and excellently
supported. Altogether, Mr. Holland's liberal cater-
ing for his patrons seems to be highly appreciated,
but certainly not higher Shan it deserves.

THE QUEEN IN SWITZERLAND.'

The following aro some particulars of interest row*.
ing the ascent of the •Righi by Queen Victoria.
Majesty, after leaving the steamer at Winkelried, started
on horseback from Weggis on the 2Sth inst. On arriving
at a spot called Kaltenbad, whence, by means of telescopes,
the approach of the Winkelried had been eagerly watched,
her Majesty was greeted with music, by the firing of
salutes from small mountain guns, and the hoisting of
gaily coloured flags and streamers. The Queen, not in-
tending to stop, put Cown her parasol as she passed,
seemingly not to disappoint the many who stood waiting
to catch a view of her Majesty. A little farther on the
Queen partook of some refreshment under the shade of a
tree, and proceeded to that part of the mountain known
as the Righi-Calm, whence, without alighting, her
Majesty rode.down again to the little town of Kussnacht,
on the borders of the lake. Here carriages were waiting
to carry her Majesty and the company back to Lucerne
by way of the road through Megg,en. The Queen is said
to have frequently given expression to her admiration of
the imposing beauty and grandeur of the surrounding
Alpine scenery.

LAUNCH OF .THE BERMUDA DOCK.

The prophecy so confidently uttered by Mr.
Campbell, on Wednesday, when he invited his dis-
appointed visitors and guests to return to-morrow,
when they would certainly see the vast structure
take the water, was pleasantly and. fully realised
yesterday. There were no ladies gay or fair pre-
sent, but, without disrespect to them, or intentional
ungallantry, it may be-stated that there were mole
effective and appropriate agents ready for action.
During the night of Wednesday and the forenoon
of yesterday twenty-two hydraulic engines were
fitted, two to operate upon each of the eleven
" ways." From 200 to 300 breast shores had
also been fixed to help to get her off. About
high water the appliances provided were put in
operation with perfect success. The hydraulics
were assisted by more effective battering rams
acting upon the ends of the ways than those
employed on Wednesday. At sharp high water
the vast erection began to move, and in the
most easy, if it may not be said graceful, manner
the dock took the water, with the sides perfectly
upright, and the least possible canting apparent as.
the dock left the cradles and floated. The draught
of water was, agreeably to expectation, about ten
feet, marvellously little for such a vast structure.
Immediately after launching the Bermuda was taken
in tow by eight steamers—the Medusa, the Afri-
can, Locust, Bustler, Monkey, Dee, Alarm, and
Widgeon, by which it was towed down to Wool-
wich Arsenal, to be removed thence to Sheer-
ness, where the dock will probably remain till the

spring.
Colonel Clarke, Admiralty director of works,
who has had so much to do with the construction
of the great dock, Commodore Edmonston, and
other Admiralty officials, were in attendance, and
took an active share in the proceedings. Great
credit is due to Mr. Barnaby, Admiralty overseer,
for his vigilant, active, and unwearied attention to
all the appliances and details connected with the
launch.

The employes of the firm were too much excited
by the hospitalities following the successful launch
to bring their minds down to the communication of
details which might have been given, but have
been gathered from other sources, and are given
above in brief.

BO W• STREET.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

William Burlingson was charged with stealing
two small packets, the property of her Majesty's
Postmaster-General.

From the evidence of Rimball, one of the officers
attached to the Post-office, it appears that the pri-
soner was a stamper in the chief office at St.
Martin's-le-Grand, and last night he was observed
to kave his own table and go to another close by,
and taking up a small packet, and having weighted
it in his hand, he blipped it into his coat-pocket.
He then watched for some time longer, and he was
seen to take another packet, and then he was taken
before the inspector and accused of the robbery.
Sinee, another constable attached to the post-
office, searched the prisoner, and produced the
packets taken from his coat pocket. On being
opened in the presence of the magistrate, one box
was found to contain a locket and a pair of ear-
rings, and the other a needle-case. The prisoner
had no business at the stamping table at all, his
duty ',was merely to stamp the letters and other
packets brought to him.
The prisoner said he had been ordered to remove
the packets last evening by directions of the over-
seer, and that in conveying a number of them from
one place to another the packet produced must have
fallen into the place from whence they were taken,
which was not -a pocket but an opening caused
inside the skirts of the frockcoat he wore by the
wearing out of the lining. He denied the charge
of stealing altogether.

Mr. Flower said as the prisoner said he had been
directed to remove the packets it would be neces-
sary to have the overseer in attendance, either to-
day or to-morrow, to confirm the statement of the
prisoner. He was therefore remanded for a week.

WESTON'S MUSIC BALL.

Mr. Sweasey, the proprietor of this very favourite ,
place of public entertainment, has made a most im-
portant addition to the artistes at present employed
by securing the services of the " Flying Farinis,"
the most astonishing performers on the trapeze that
have yet appeared. Although the Farini's per-
formances may be called "sensational," the great
neatness and precision with which it is executed
entirely divests it of that unpleasant feeling of fear
which generally takes hold of a great portion of an
audience when such feats are usually performed.
For safety sake a fine net work is placed beneath
the performers, so that in the event of a mishap the
precaution taken would prevent any dangerous re-
sult, and, knowing this, the audience look on the
wonderful evolutions with the greatest surprise and
pleasure. The vocal talent here is very strong.
Many of the artistes can only be heard at this esta-
blishment, and amongst them we may specially
mention the Spanish Minstrels, and Lelia and
Florence Ellis. Miss Louie Sherrington and
Miss Nelly Power seem special favourites, judg-
ing from the applause they receive, and the in-
strumental music, under the direction of Mr. P.
Corrie, is superior to anything of the kind given at
similar establishments. It appears to be a rule to
give at least a couple of overtures during the even-
ing ; and an excellent rule it is ; for, undoubtedly,
the true musician experiences a treat at Weston's
which assuredly he can get nowhere else. It is very
satisfactory to find the hall so well attended, and
whilst it is conducted so excellently there is little
fear of a diminution of its popularity.
London, England, 1868-09-04

CAMERBURY HALL.

The " Canterbury" seems to be the centre of
mirth and comicality. Mr. Rolland, the spirited
prof rietor, flies at high game, like a true sportsman
he invariably hits his mark, and the result is that
an entertainment is presented for the gratification
of his supporters that gives universal satisfaction.
Hardly has the excitement of the Blondiu engage-
ment passed away than another great .artiste is
secured for the Canterbury, and in the person of
Niblo we have one of the most astonishing of
gymnasts, whoe feats on the high trapeze are
something quite astonishing. Some of his tricks
are entirely novel, and all are performed with a
coolness and ease that goes a great way to calm any
uneasiness that might otherwise arise. His crown-
ing act is the throwing a double somersault, which
is certainly a Most ex:.raordinary performance. The
" Canterbury Christys" are a very talented troupe,
their songs are all new, and their singing is deserv-
ing of the highest praise. Then we have Mr. Ley-
bourne, the great star comique, whose _appearance
is the signal for applause, and to crown all a grand
watteau ballet, beautifully mounted and excellently
supported. Altogether, Mr. Holland's liberal cater-
ing for his patrons seems to be highly appreciated,
but certainly not higher than it deserves.

BERWICK-ON-TWEED.

On Tuesday night Mr. Stapleton and Lord Bury,
0-the-Liberal-candidates for this borough, addressed
a large meeting of the electors in the Corn Exchange,
Mr. T. Bogue in the chair.
Mr. STAPLETON advocated the disendowment of
the Irish Church, and also condemned the excessive
expenditure of the present Government.
Lord BURY said if they sent him to Parliament
he would go as au avowed opponent of the Irish
Church, one who would give it no quarter and no
parley. When that Church was disestablished it
would still remain a Church, more honoured and
more respected than before. (Cheers.) It would
then be one to whom all could look with pride, as
guiding them in the right way. (Hear, hear.) The
Roman Catholic population would not then look
upon it as a badge of conquest, but as an honour-
able rival in the field of missionary labour—as a
sister in winning souls to Christ. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then took the sense of the meet-
ing, when not a hand was held up against the Libe-
ral candidates.
