TIM TURF.

Many a favourite of the turf has seen as great
vicissitudes as the favourites of a monarch. Messrs.
Tattersall have just brought some of the horses of
the late Marquis of Hastings to the hammer. Poor
Lady Elizabeth, who fetched 6,500 guineas twelve
months ago, was taken by her trainer, John Day, at
GOO. The Duke, a six-year old of the famous
Stockwell breed, fetched 2,200 guineas. Messrs.
Graham, of the Yardley Stud Farm, bought him.
The Marquis's hunters, the hacks, and carriage horses
fetched some good prices.. 'Would that "this strange
eventful history" ended here. It is understood that
the Day v. Rous trial must come on.

" FATHER IGNATIITS.I

For some as yet unexplained reason, Bishop Tait
has withdrawn Mr. Lyne's license as curate of
Edmund's, Lombard-street, and he therefore writes
to say that his intended course of Advent lectures;
will be given elsewhere. Probably, it will be found
that Mr. Lyne was licensed in the first place on the
condition that he would abandon his monastic
schemes. That he has not abandoned them may be
fathered from the fact that he has just accepted the.
gift of a monastery at St. Albans, and that he signs
himself " t Ignatius, 0. S. 8., Sup."
STRANGE FREAKS.

The people of Islington have lately been alarmed
by what appeared to be a very clever burglary and an
attempted murder. A lad who was inthe house where it
took pllee, and who told the strange story of having
been awakened by burglars, of having roused his
grandmother, taken. a sword from her room, and,
with that weapon ready in his hand, followed the
burgle rto the kitchen, where he was shot at,nowconfes ses
that the whole tale was a fabrication. lie himself fired
the pistol. The Islington people, who were quaking
with terror, are now greatly reassured. It is said
that £2 had been given the lad to pay a bill, which
he had failed to do. Perhaps a birch-rod might be
useful here.

A man has just escaped from Nottingham Borough
Gaol. He had been sentenced to fifteen months'
imprisonment, and had only about a month to serve.
He had better have been patient for the other month.
If caught, he will, of course, serve a longer term. It
is a singular instance of bad calculation, but it is to
be presumed that this was the first chance of escape

THE LAW'S DELAY.

There is at the present time a trial going on in the
Dublin courts which had lasted on Monday thirty-
two days, and was even then far from completion. It
is
ib y no means a sensational case ; on the contrary,
it s so dull that the court is abandoned to the judge,
counsel, jury, and witnesses. The action, " Doolin v.
Dickson," is brought by a builder against a reli-
gious society for enlarging and repairing a Roman
Catholic chapel, The society deny that th ey are indebted,
on the ground that they are not responsible for the order
given by their superior, who has left them for some
time past. They say, also, that having taken the vow
of-:poverty, they have no funds. Apparently they
have funds to pay counsel, of whom three are Queen's
Counsel and two are juniors, on each side. The
refreshers amount to twenty-two guineas a day,
besides the original fees. A whole host of architects
and surveyors have been subpoenaed, and the court
is full of plans, sections, photographs, and models. The
case began on July 6th, and after four clays was ad-
journed until October 26. It was resumed on the 29th of
that month, and has continued ever since, Originally
there were twelve jurors, but two.of them, fortunately
for themselves, fell ill, and were discharged. The ten
others continue to sit, while their business is being
utterly neglected. The learned judge has done
everything possible, except shortening the case, to
contribute to their comfort. They complained of
cold feet, and he ordered that jars of hot water
should be placed under each. When the water was
poured in some of the jars burst, and the water ran
about the jury-box, which steamed like a bath-room.
His lordship at once had the jars replaced by metal
pans, which are regularly filled each day. Any of
them who desires to wear his hat is at liberty to do
so, and the privilege is gratefully appreciated.

AN easy and accurate System of Self-measure,
introduced by E. MOSES and Son, has served to extend
their connection to all parts of the kingdom,

THE NEW CABINET.

Mr. Gladstone has constituted his Cabinet with
unprecedented speed. It will contain the full fifteen,
the largest number ever included in this select
assembly. Nevertheless, it will be deficient in one
very important respect. Neither Mr. Forster nor
Mr. Stansfeld is included, and the advanced Liberals
are most inadequately represented. Of the fifteen
Ministers, nine are Commoners, including the Marquis
of llartington, who will; however, not improbably be
raised to the Upper House. In the last Cabinet there
were at its retirement ten commoners—Mr. Dis-
raeli, Lord Stanley, Mr. Hardy, Sir S. Northcote,
Sir John Paliington, Mr. Corry; Mr. Cave, Lord
John Manners, Mr. Hunt, and Colonel Wilson
Patten. In the present Cabinet the First Commis-
sioner of Works, Mr. Layard, will not have a seat.
Lord John Manners had in the last, and his seat will
be conferred upon the Postmaster-General, who in
the last Administration was the Duke of Montrose,
and in the present is the Marquis of Hartington.
Six of the new Ministers—Mr. Lowe, Mr. Bruce, Mr.
Childers, Sir W. Page Wood, Lord Kimberley, and
Mr. Bright—have not previously been Cabinet
Ministers.

The ages of the new Ministers vary from 68 to
35. Lord Clarendon has attained the first age, the
Marquis of Hartington the second. The ages of the
other Ministers are as follows :—Mr. Gladstone is 59;
Mr. Lowe, 57; Earl Granville, 53 ; Mr. Cardwell, 65;
the Duke of Argyle, 45; Mr. Bruce, 53; Mr. Chichester
Fortescue, 45 ; Mr. Childers, 41; Sir W. Page Wood,
67; Earl De Grey and Ripon, 41 ; Earl of Kimberley,
42 ; Mr. Bright, 57 ; Mr. Goschen, 37. There are
thus seven Ministers under 50 years of age, and eight
above. The average is about 501 years—a far lower
average than we were accustomed to during the
regime of Lords Palmerston and Russell.

ARMED PEACE.

The Journal des Dgbats, laadably desirous of still fur-
ther amending the improved relations between France
and Prussia, says that the English Government has sub-
mitted to the Powers of Europe two propositions, each
of which is intended to ensure the maintenance of
peace. The first suggests a conference for the purpose of
making the Treaty of Prague an international law ; the
second proposes that all the Powers should exchange notes
declaring their firm intention of preserving the status quo.
This statement is incorrect. The Indepcndance Beige says
that previously to the recent amelioration of the relations
between France and Prussia, the Emperor Napoleon, in an
interview with Lord Clarendon, expressed the desire
to put an end to the feeling of insecurity which weighed
so heavily upon Europe. Since then, however, nothing
has been done. Both at London and at Paris it has been
agreed that with too much tinkering the situation may
break down altogether.

SPAIN.

The Madrid correspondent of the Liberte supports the
view that Prim is waiting his time for the assumption of
absolute power. There is a general reaction in the country:
eloquence and excitement have been followed by silence and
torpor. The Government is disunited ; the treasury is
empty; the loan has been a failure. Serrano and Topete, the
only men of mark in the Ministry, except Prim,
have become the mere satellites of the latter, who is.
now fast assuming the position of Dictator. In presence of
the nullity of his colleagues, he has become the man of the
situation ; he has studied in France the " art of saving
nations," and he proposes to himself to save Spain. It is
quite possible that any calamity may happen to a people
which knows not its own choice. But against the specula-
tion of this writer—who is by no means alone—must be
pitted the fact that Prim has formally disclaimed, in
a letter to the Gaulois, the project of establishing
either a military regime or an empire. If he
really harbours ambitious designi; "why perpetrate this
act of perjury ? It is, nevertheless, much to be regretted
that two months must elapse before the Cortes meet to
dispose of the destinies of the nation. The first meeting
is fixed for February 11. •

10ER ZEALAND.

According to a private letter from Christchurch, the
outbreak in New Zealand has been largely caused by the
unfair and illiberal treatment of the natives by the
colonists. The Government is quite incompetent to deal
with the native question. The Maoris have behaved
very well on many occasions, and are not indisposed to be
friendly, but the manner in which they have been robbed
and cheated for years past has disgusted both friends and
foes. The Maoris, as might be expected, are much
under the influence of superstition ; they have changed
their idolatry for a curious mixture of Christianity and
Paganism, and this new form of fanaticism is said to pro-
duce " a most maddening effect." The Maori King has
greatly influenced his people by means of visions, of which
the discomfiture of the colonists was, of course, the leading
theme. He has addressed an edict to all the chiefs,
ordering a general insurrection for October.

THE PHYSICAL FEATURES OF A TEMPEST

In his attempts to control nature and to watch
its. manifestations, the tempest seems to defy the
power of man. Such observations as scientific
men are enabled to make are worth record-
ing. On the morning of the 4th, Mr. Allnatt,
in Sussex, noticed a restless equatorial wind,
with a ragged shy. By the evening the barometrical
pressure had fallen, and the wind had risen to a
moderate gale. The barometer still fell, and the
wind increased till the night of the sth, when a
tremendous gust of wind wzls followed by a rise of
2-10ths in the barometer. The wind moderated for
a time, and gave way to rain until ten o'clock at
night on the 6th, when the wind blew a hurricane
from S.W., the barometer falling 3-10ths of an inch.
After this the wind gradually began to diminish in
force and volume, and the barometer again rose. It
is worth the attention of scientific men whether some
such system as that inaugurated by Admiral Fitzroy
is not capable of rendering service. Are we to
confess ourselves helpless in the matter? Most of us
will long remember Sunday night, the fearful
howling of the tempest, as if all living
things united in a chorus of agony, and
heaven and earth were shaken. We pictured the
storm upon the sea, the deafening roar of the ocean,
the rattling thunder of the shrouds, the darkness
which render man's senses of sight and hearing a
mockery. The demon of the storm shouted in our
ears his hideous paean of triumph ; and our fears
anticipated what the morning revealed. The ocean
has swallowed up many a life, to add to the huge
number of human beings for which it must some
day render an account.

SISTER SCIENCES.

Dr. Haviland has discovered a connection between
geology and medicine. Each disease is found to have
a special geological habitat. Take cancer, for
instance. A " cancer map " has been drawn up, from
which we discover that the whole of -Wales and the
north-west of England are comparatively free from it.
"Coincident with this," says Dr. Haviland, "is thefact
that theseparts of England and Wales belong geologi-
cally to the oldest formations, namely, the silurian and
carboniferous, and physically include the highest and
best-drained mountainous districts in the country."
The cancer country is found in the regions of
the tertiary 'or more recent formations. There is
the Thames cancer-field, the East Yorkshire, South
Derbyshire, and North Leicestershire. The haunts
of cancer are. proved to be " the sheltered
and low-lying valleys traversei by fully-formed
rivers, and having sites composed of the more
recent geological formation—such as the crag and
alluvium of the .Norfolk and Suffolk field, the
clay of the Thaine 3 field, and the alluvium
of the Lincolnshire and East Yori siire groups."
Heart disease, phthisis, and rheumatism are traced in
a like manner. This theory of Dr. Haviland appears
to be another way of attributing disease to atmo-
spheric influence, which is by no means a new theory.
The unscientific people of the fens well understand the t
liver complaints, ague, and miasmatic diseases arise
from the condition of the atmosphere, and that such
condition is generated by the alluvial deposits, though
the term would be Greek to them.

TIIE DISTRESS OF CLERICS.

Among the cruelest results of those fits of reckless
speculation which invariably end in a panic, must
be reckoned the distress which is caused to the
employs s of merchants and bankers. It is now
stated that there are thousands of these clerks out
of employment, and with no demand for their labour.
Many of such men have wives and families, and
with all due economy have not been able to lay
by sufficient for a " rainy day." The market is
always overstocked with men who are ambitious of
getting their living by their pen, and who would have
been much more likely to get on by learning some
mechanical trade ; but the fact of such a state of
things is much to be regretted. The great merchant or
financier generally manages to fall on his legs, and
though his " sins be as scarlet," they are washed as
" white as wool "in the court ; he starts again in
the world with a reputation for business, and is again
trusted by his dupes. The sufferings of his subordi-
nates are forgotten.

DISTIOP AND VICAR.

It was stated a short time ago that the Vicar of
llaydock would before long resign his living. The
Warrington Guardian now speaks with some autho-
rity on the matter. That journal says : "We are
now enabled to state at once, on the best authority,
that the bishop moved on learning the facts
as they appeared in the Guardian, and that
his letter of monition to Mr. Green-well,
should it find its way into print legiti-
mately, would prove that probably he had
taken a better method of managing the llaydock
matter than the more public way o another bishop.
The effect of the correspondence is that Mr. Green-
well retires from Haydock, and we believe he has no
present intention of resuming clerical duties, and
certainly not • in connection with the Church of
Rome." Mr. Greenwell must be made of very diffe-
rent stuff from other Ritualist innovators, or Dr.
Jacobson must be a tactician.

& LIQUOR-SELLER IN FAVOUR OF THE PrIVIISSIVF.

1311 L.

Most liquor-sellers manifest great terror lest two-
thirds of the people should have power to prevent
them selling, and we have been accustomed to
reckon then all as opponents of the bill. The
United Kingdom Alliance has not yet enrolled
many drink-sellers amongst its members, but
one of " the trade," at Bolton, has just
declared before a meeting of his coatfreres th:Lt
he is willing to stake his license upon.the decision
of a two-thirds majority of the ratepayers or inhabi-
tants. Whether he has been converted by the
eloquent and convincing speeches of Sir Wilfrid
Lawson and Dr. F. It. Lees, or whether his own
common sense has led him to cease resisting the
rising tide of public opinion in favour of the bill, it
is a fact that there is now at least one chink-seller who
is not afraid of the people. At present, however, the
United Kingdom Alliance must not rely much upon
publican support. The member of " the trade " who
thus declared himself unhostile to the Alliance was
not very popular ; angry feeling rose to such a pitch
that the meeting, which was assembled to discuss the
political action most desirable on the part of pub-
licans, did not break up before blows were actually
interchanged by some zealous, but not dignified, dis-
pensers of liquor.

RITUALISM AT BRIGHTON.

A. correspondent of the Times writes :—" The good
people of Brighton having had their attention once drawn
to the subject of ritualistic practices, seem determined
not to let it drop. On Tuesday afternoon, and
again on Wednesday afternoon, two large and important
" Protestant " meetings were held in the great room of
the new grand concert-hall in West-street,nominally to hea,
lectures or addresses from the Rev. Dr. Blakeney and the
Rev. Dr. Cumming, upon the Itomish and Ritualistic
controversies, but in reality to make a strong public
demonstration against the return to those obsolete cere-
monies and practices to which we have recently adverted
in these columns. The chair was taken each day by the
Rev. E. Clay, incumbent of St. Margaret's Chapel, who
was supported by a few of the local clergy and Dissenting
ministers, and by one or two laymen of standing and
position. The subjects, as publicly announced, were
" Romanism identical with Popery, and unscriptural ;"
" The Roman Catholic Mass subversive of the Com-
munion Service ;" and " Romanism : its personal, social,
and national influence for good."

WHAT'S IN A NAME

There are some people the world would willingly
"let die," if it were allowed to do so. • The other
party to the arrangement is not always so willing,.
There is "Agnes Windham Walker," for instance,
who is determined to remind society of her existence.
She writes to the Telegrapl& to comment upon the case,
" Electric Telegraph Company v. Windham," upon
which Mr. Commissioner Kerr adjudicated the other
-day. She has two complaints—one as to the result of
the action, the other as to the commissioner's
course in reading the telegram in court.
By this the public learnt that she sent a
message to Cuba for one " Silvio" to present
himself before her in a month or give her up. It
appears that " Silvio " had the wisdom to adopt the
latter course, and then, Mr. Walker being second on
the list, she married him. We have one of the sad-
dest and most disgraceful episodes of modern life.
thus reopened. Of coufse Mrs. Walker's reputation
had nothing to lose. •
