in every respect. Nothing will remain unchanged save
the location. Samuel Colville is associated with Mr. Wood
in the enterprise, and sails immediately to Europe in quest

experience, and wealth, and we trust that he will find his
most sanguine expectations realized.

A BAD FALL.—Madame Carlotta de Berg fell from her
horse on Tuesday evening, while performing one of her
daring acts of equitation, and broke her right arm in two
places. She was immediately removed to her residence
on Third Avenue, where it was ascertained that her in-
uries, though serious, were not dangerous.

The last share number issued to Lady-day, 1868, was

The estates allotted since the last report were :
Finchley Estate, Middlesex, 2d poi tion.....March 26, 1868.
Ipswich Estate, Suffolk (East), 2d portion ditto.
Sandown Estate, Isle of Wight, 2d portion ditto.
As might have been expected from a popular locality in
North London like Finchley, the sales of the land on the
society's estate have been large, and the few remaining
plots on this eligible building property are not likely to re-
main long on hand, especially as the new station on the
Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway at Finchley is
now open.
Of the future of Sandown little doubt can be entertained.
This rising watering-place, since the opening of the rail-
way from Hyde to Ventnor, with a station at Sandown, is
making considerable progress. The visitors to Ryde are
attracted to Sandown with its long beach of sand (which
for bathing has no equal in the island), the railway from
Hyde being within a quarter of an hour of the estate.
Sandown will soon be connected with Newport, as a bill
for the isle of Wight Central Railway is now before Parlia-
ment, with every prospect of the project being carried
through. The Ipswich estate, from its proximity to
the Stoke station, is essentially building land, and as
the prices of the plots are adapted to meet the de-
mand for either large or small houses to suit all classes of
the community, there are grounds to anticipate that the
building which has already commenced at each extremity
of the estate will in due course be extended. The next
allotment of land will be on Wednesday, the 29th of April,
on which day the sale will be commenced of the first por-
tion of the Clapham Junction Estate, well known as
Bolingbroke Park, with fine frontages to Battersea Rise
and Wandsworth Common. The proximity of this pro-
perty to two stations, and the increasing demand tor
house property in the southern district of the metropolis,
justify the anticipations of the committee that the Clap-
ham Junction Estate will prove one of the most valuable
building properties hitherto acquired for the society. Three
new purchases of estates have been recently made the first
at Northampton ; the second at Holloway (York-road, Ken-
tish-town) ; and the third at Red Hill, Surrey (the Water-
slade Estate). So soon as the legal formalities have been
completed, these three valuable properties will be allotted.
The various contracts forth() works on the Putney Estate,
No. 5 (close to the Cedars), on the East London Estate,
Forest Gate, Nos. 1 and 2, and Sandown Estate, No. 2,
are iu progress. The roads on the Finchley Estate No. 2
will be forthwith commenced, and the advertisements for
the tenders to complete the roads cn the fourth portion of
the Round Hill Estate, Brighton, and for the first portion of
the Clapham Junction Estate will soon be issued. The
indications of active building operations this spring on the
various estates (in 27 counties) are very satisfactory.
At the annual meeting last December the members present
unanimously passed a resolution fully " approving of the
formation of a Land Company, Limited, to co-operate with
the Conservative Land Society, thereby inaugurating a
new system of combined action, whereby the operations in
land may be considerably extended, and thus prove mutu-
ally beneficial." The executive committee therefore issued
a circular to the shareholders, accompanied with the pro-
posed prospectus to be issued by the directors of the
United Land Company (Limited), enclosing forms of
application for shares, thereby carrying out the pledge
that the members of the society should in the first
instance be offered the shares of the new company.
It is with much satisfaction that the executive committee
are enabled to announce that the responses to their circular
have been quite satisfactory, and the applications for
shares in the United Land Company (Limited) up to the
present period have been so numerous as to justify the
first directors thereof in signing the memorandum, and
register the same together with the articles of association
framed under the advice of counsel. The United Land
Company (Limited) is now incorporated under the Com-
' plums Act of 1862 and 1867, and to co-operate with the
Conservative Land Society, enrolled under 6 and 7 Will. IV.
cap. 32, as the Conservative Benefit Building Society. The
executive committee congratulate the shareholders of the
1 Conservative Land Society on the prospects and position
of the new undertaking, as an adjunct to the parent insti-
tution. The action and working of society and company
on thoroughly sound commercial principles, combined with
economical and energetic management, will, there is
every reason to anticipate, open a new field for safe and
legitimate investment. The executive committee, in eon-
s elusion, beg to remind the shareholders that it is entirely
at their option to take shares iu the United Land Com-
pany (Limited); they may be investors in both society
and company if they think fit, and in both casas the
I liability is limited to the amount of the shares taken.

The meeting was proceeding when we went to
press.

CORA PEARL AND THE FAN-FURNISHER TO THE OPERA.
—The Civil Tribunal has just had to decide a disputed
bill between " Mdlle." Cora Pearl (a demi-monde cele-
brity) and a tradesman named Denugent, who styles
himself fan-furnisher to the Opera. The latter had sup-
plied, among other things, one to be used at the races,
made of white silk, with an equestrian portrait of the
lady on one side, and on the other these lines of Alfred
do Musset

"—Et la riche Angleterre,
Plus d'une foie dans Peau jettera son filet
Avant d'y retrouver une perle aussi chere."
The bill subsequently sent in was as follows :
Sept. 2, 1867. A miniature for a cigar case
„ 4, „ A racing fan soof.
„ 4, „ Photographic portrait for the same loof.
„ 19, „ Repair of a parasol ......... 20f.
„ 22, „ Seven small miniatures for a bracelet 1000 f.

2020 f.

"Mdlle." Cora Pearl immediately wrote to protest
against the above charges ; she had only paid 250 f. for a
similar miniature before, and would not give more than
300 f. for the present one ; the charge for the fan was ex-
orbitant, and must be reduced by 100 f. ; and, as for seven
small heads, she had never ordered them, bat had merely
asked the price, and consequently would not take them.
These latter, as well as the likeness for the cigar case,
had been executed for Mine. Denugent, and represented
"Mdlle." Cora, the Empress Josephine, Queen Hortense,
Mme. Recamier, Mine. Tallien, Mdlle. Georges, and Diana
de Poitiers. M. Denugent appeared to accept those condi-
tions, and on the 19th. October sent in a fresh bill amount-
ing to 820 f. only, and even received 200 f. on account. He,
however, subsequently renewed his pretension to compel
her to take the seven heads, and on her again refusing,
brought the present action. The court, however, only
admitted his claim for the balance of 620 f., which the
defendant was ordered to pay with interest and costs.
A MUSICAL NoTE.—We are glad to observe that certain
distinguished personages are, like the rest of the British
nation, being educated to appreciate good music. The
Orchestra states that on the occasion of a recant banquet
the Duke of Sutherland engaged the singers at " Evans's "
to give a selection of glees, &c. This is a decided im-
provement on the style of musical entertainment his grace
has been giving lately—a decided improvement, if not an
add- Vance.—Fun.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Dyspepsia, In-
digestion, Flatulency, Heartburn, Biliousness, Nausea,
Want of Appetite.---1 rimeb philosophers trace the moral
feelings of the mind to the state of the stomach, and there
is much wisdom in the speculation. The stomach to the
human body is more than the kitchen to tho domestic estab-
lishment ; be it ever so slightly disordered the whole in-
ternal economy is deranged. The young may smile at the
simile, and disbelieve the tremendous sacrifice indigestion
exacts from its victims. The day will come when they
will lament over their dyspepsia as thousands stronger
than themselves have done, when it will be for their com-
fort and happiness if they will remember these prophetic
words, and hold in readiness Holloway's pills, a certain
safeguard.

The opening scene of the Impeachment trial,
March 13, 1868, has now been more fully painted.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer has
devoted a page to the presence of the ladies. "As
a general statement, it may be sail that the wife
of almost every Congressman who is either tran-
siently or permanently in Washington, came to-
day to the trial. Several ladies of the President's
household were present, and the mother of Speaker
Colfax, Mrs. Matthews, was in a prominent seat.
Mrs. Ben Butler had a good place, and also Mrs.
Kate Chase Sprague, wearing a fawn-coloured silk,
dark velvet basque and bonnet, with etruscan ear-
drops and bugles of frosted gold, who sat beside her
sister, Miss Nettie Chase, a stouter young lady.
Mrs. Sprague has the look of a French lady, being
slight and dashing ; her sister has a staider look,
like a Holland maiden. Mrs. Ben Wade wore a
black cloth sacque, two short side locks of brown
hair, and a brown rose in her braid. She was pro-
vided with a corner place immediately opposite
her husband, and next to the diplomats. Viunie
Ream, the little sculptress, wore a wave of flat ring-
lets down her back, reaching below her waist. She is
a dark-eyed, nervous, spirituelle little girl, and had
admirers in numbers buzzing around her, of course..
The ladies of the household of Mr. Thornton, the
British Minister, attracted attention ; one of them,
a stout English girl, with fine shoulders and colour,
and the step of the winner of thP Derby, the other
smaller, with the motion and figure of a gazelle.
Mrs. George Vickers, wife of the new Maryland
Senator, had a good seat." But the correspondent,
although like a true American gives to women the
most conspicuous place, does not confine his atten-
tion, as Mrs. Stanton declares a third of the re-
presentatives do, to the ladies gallery, as the follow-
ing extract shows :—" Two seats of the diplomatic
gallery were filled with Englishmen in mutton-chop
whiskers, glasses screwed into their eyes, and a pro-
digious quantity of jewelery." It does Englishmen
good to hear how others describe them, with their
mutton-chop whiskers and mass of jewelery ! Most
Englishmen would warmly repudiate the jewelery
charge, unconscious that they had slung their
watch to their button-hole with a gold chain of
dimensions sufficient to anchor a yacht, and a ring
on the little finger large enough to engrave the
seal of a Mandarin. A Yankee with a handsome
diamoni pin stuck in his shirt front would be ac-
cused by the unconscious Englishman of being loud
in jewelery. But to return to our subject. " Mr.
Thornton, the British Minister, is a fine-looking
gentleman, not unlike Mr. Stanbery, late At-
torney-General. The Greek Minister, Mr. Ron-
gabe, a small, grey haired, pleasant man, had a seat
near the dark, olive-faced Spanish Minister, who sat
near the old Washington resident and father of all
the legations, Baron Gerolt. Judge Thomas Nel-
son, of Tennessee, an old friend of the President,
and now one of his counsel, is a farmer-looking,
grey-haired man, with a beardless faces ; his ears are
standing out sharply, a good deal of height and
breadth of rock-like and dented forehead over his
very quietly relentless grey eyes. Benjamin R. Curtis
is a thick-set man, neatly, even ltifly, dressed in
black, and sits with his hands crossed at his waist.
Stanbery is a tall, straight, slim man, with grey
side whiskers, a high, square head, of the sort called
long,' and a nervous, earnest manner of speech.
He got mad at the beginning of the trial when
Judge Bingham brought him to a stand on the
Senate rules. The professional statement of Mr.
Johnson's counsel, as read by Mr. Stanbery, con-
tained in the earliest lines the words, at which we
have arrived to,' whereupon somebody cried, That
sounds like the President's own composition.' The
voice of Mr. Stanbery was clear, musical, and con-
versational. He stood with his right hand behind
his back, and glasses on his nose. He behaved very
well until Bingham brought him to his feet, when
he showed decidedly that he had lost his temper.
Thaddeus Stevens, among the impeachers, came in
by a rear door, after the rest of the committee had
entered. A member of the President's household,
who had a seat in the gallery, exclaimed aloud
here, Ile wants to attract attention.' The old
man leaned on his heavy cane, and, taking his chair,
extended his long hand and gave a silent order.
Everybody looked at him. The battle opened
warmly, with Stanbery leaping up and speaking
nervously, crisply, with his hands stretched out. He
demanded if himself and his learned brothers were
to be trapped in a net ? It was very certain indeed
that the President's counsel had paid little atten-
tion to the Senate rules for the guidance of the
trial. They had all reached out instinctively for
the printed copies thereof, and conferred to-
gether in a few syllables before Stanbery arose."
Stanbery surprised all hearers by his bitterness ;
Butler was bitter as a matter of course, and Bing-
ham was earnest and calm. Adjutant-General
Thomas has been cross-examined by the Impeach-
ment Committee relative to a conversation said to
have occurred at a reception at the White House on
the 16th March. General Butler bullied this wit-
ness for two hours, yet all he extracted was, that an
old acquaintance from Newcastle, Delaware, spoke
about the present political troubles, and advised
him to " stand firm." Thomas replied, "Am I not
standing firm ?" " Yes," said the old acquaintance,
"but you must kick that fellow Stanton out;" to
which the Adjutant-General answered, " IVe will
do that." He also informed the old acquaintance
that he recognized Mr. Stanton only as a private
citizen, and would obey no orders emanating from
him, he (Thomas) being the Secretary of War.
The Adjutant-General repeated this to the commit-
tee, distinctly stating that he would obey no orders
from Stanton.

On the 16th March Mr. Butler managed to get
the rules of the House suspended to bring in his
motion that during the Impeachment it shall
be in order any day to move a suspension of the
rules on motion connected with or growing out of
the question. The motion was adopted, with the
exception of the morning hour of Monday. With
a view further to facilitate the progress of the Im-
peachment trial, a Bill has passed the House which
provides that the senior associate Judge of the
Supreme Court shall, in case of any inability of the
Chief Justice, be eligible to perform his duties.

A telegraphic despatch from Ciecinnat to the New
York papers, dated March 18, says:—" The steamer
Magnolia, of the Cincinnati and Maysville regularpackat
which left here at noon to-day with cabin passengers
a large amount of freight, exploded her boiler 12 miles
above this city, at half-past one this afternoon. The
greater portion of the cabin was carried away, and the
boat afterwards took fire. About 40 persons were killed,
several of them being burnt to death. The Magnolia had
120 passengers and 40 members of the crew. Fifty-seven
are known to have been saved. The boat took fire im-
mediately after the boilers exploded, and after the
remaining upper works wore destroyed some powder in
the magazine exploded, destroying all but the hull, which
sank. Many of the passengers jumped overboard, and
were drowned, and others were burnt, among them the
captain. The boat was valued at $30,000, on which there
was $20,000 insurance.

Some recent remarks by the Bishop of Oxford on Sunday
Schools produced such a " profound sensation," and raised
such an outcry from certain quarters, that one turns with
some interest to an article by his lordship, headed, " Our
Sunday Schools—How to Use Them," in the current number
of Good Words. Dr. Wilberforce in, that paper ably
defends the position he has taken up with regard to the
religious education of the young, viz., that the teaching at
present given in our Sunday Schools is irksome, and
therefore to some extent repulsive, while it ghould be
pleasant, and consequently winning. Sunday Schools, he
declares, in commencing, are in a state of crisis. Men are
beginning to lose the implicit confidence they have hitherto
placed in this important part of our religious system. The
question, therefore, is, how to restore the schools to a proper
state of efficiency, and make them useful by teaching the
young to love religion and religious servi-:es. There has, his
lordship points out, been a stay in the increase, if not an
actual falling off, of the number of Sunday scholars. The
educational census of 1851 gave a return of 2,407,642
Sunday scholars. Notwithstanding the vast increase of
the population shewn by the census of 1861 (an increase
of more than two millions), the number of scholars only
sheaved an advance of 3,900. Further, while the Church
of England is teaching a proportion of 76-2 per cent.
of week-day scholars, only 45.8—less than half—of the
Sunday scholars attend the schools of the Establishment.
All other denominations get a larger proportion of Sunday
han day scholars. This leads the right rev. writer to
the conclusion that as day scholars increase there is a.
tendency to diminish the number of Sunday scholars.
The better children are being gradually eliminated,
and the schools are now thronged with a lower
class than heretofore. How, then, shall we make our
schools more attractive to the young ? First, answers his
lordship, by banishing from them anything like the
character of work. Let work alone for the day school.
Make the Sunday class partake of the nature of rest and
refresment. Banish from it as much as possible all trace
of the day school. Such, for instance, as providing a table
around which the scholars might sit, would be beneficial.
Let the teacher be bright, playful, and sympathising. His
object should be to form in his pupils the basis of a religions.
character. With regard to the very young, they should
be dealt with most gently. They are naturally prone to
be restless ;do not rebuke them for it. So arrange that
they may obtain continual change of posture. Children's
hymns, sung to children's tunes, easy Bible stories, simple
Bible prints, are the means of employing profitably the
time. If there is a garden near, they might be taken into
it and interested with lessons from the lily of the valley and
the flower of the field. More difficult is the problem,
How shall the elder, or semi-adult scholars, be dealt
with ? One of the most important items is that they
should be completely separated from the school
itself. Let there be nothing of what may be termed
" Sunday slavery " in the senior class. The young men
have arrived at a time of life of all others the most impor-
tant. They should be carefully dealt with. Such matters,
so often overlooked, as the Sunday afternoon " walk out"
should be studied. Young men and young women will
" keep company." No time is better fora stroll than the
Sunday afternoon. If the class is fixed to interfere with
this, the twilight is chosen, a time the most objectionable.
The beet time for the class, perhaps, is, for the males just
before the evening, and for the females just before the
afternoon service. Teachers should be more carefully
trained, and more carefully selected. Scholars would then
easily be found. The Sunday School is par excellence
the place where the employer may show that he cares for
the working man. With attention to the matters here
mentioned, Dr. Wilberforce thinks our schools might regain
the position they are fast losing.

The Irish towns which have determined to for-
ward expressions of welcome to the Prince and Princess of
Wales on their landing are—Dublin, Carlow, Belfast,
Newry, Wicklow, Coleraine, Kinsale, Bandon, Clones,
Ballymena, Kingstown, Wexford, Waterford, Mullingar,
Naas, Athy, and Newtownlimivady. Most of the
addresses presented will refer to the hope that there may
soon be a " royal residence established in Ireland."

The following officers have been selected to
command divisions at the forthcoming Volunteer Re-
view:—Major-General Sir Alfred Horsford, K.C.8.,
Majors General H. Benny, and Major-General G. I.
Carey, C.B. Several other staff and regimental officers
are being selected to act as assistant adjutant-generals,
assistant quartermaster-general-5, brigade majors, and
aides-de-camp.

MAJORLTY OF THE EARL OF ELLESMERE.—Thes
Earl of Ellesmere attained his majority on Sunday. His
lordship is at present on a tour in the East, and no festivi•
ties will take place until his return. In honour of the
event, however, the men and boys employed on the estate,
to the number of about 5,000, received during last week a
gratuity equal to a day's wages.

Emma Davy, aged 15, a spinner at the Atlas Mills,
Longside-lane, Bradford, withhcr sister andsomeothergirls,
lately got into the hoist, to ascend to the third storey of the
mill. Arrived there, the hoist was stopped, the other girls
stepped out, and the deceased was following, when the hoist
began to descend. She was caught between the stone steps
and the framework of the hoist, and crushed about the chest.
Immediately on being taken home she expired. The girls
were using the hoist contrary to express orders, and to save
themselves the trouble of ascending the staircase, the proper
road for them to take in order to reach their work.

IRISH CHURCH DEBATE.—Mr. Thomas Hughes
M.P., has presided at a lecture in Surrey Chapel by the
Rev. Newman Hall. The building was crowded by work-
ing men, who listened with great attention to a summary
of the late debate. The lecturer said that, as a Protestant,
he repudiated the injustice done in the name of Protes-
tantism to the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Because he
hoped to see Scriptural Christianity triumph, he desired
;hat such an obstacle to the reception of the truth might
be removed. Mr. Hughes expressed his pleasure at wit-
tessing the intelligent and fixed attention of the audience,
its hope that speedily the Irish Church might cease to be
ist lished, and that the English Church might be more
comprehensive, so as to allow the clergy of other commu-
nions to take part occasionally inher services.

COURAGEOUS RESCUE.—The children of the
Rev. T. E. Buckworth, of Ivybridge, met with a serious ac-
cident whilst walking by the banks of the Erne, above the,
viaduct, on Friday afternoon. Two of the children, girls,
aged fourteen and eight years, remained a short distance
behind, and the youngest, in stepping from one rock to
another to reach a flower, slipped and fell into a deep
pool. Her sister immediately jumped in to her rescue,
and pushed her on to a rock, where she gained her
footing, but in doing so the latter was herself carried under
water out of her depth. She came to the surface twice,
when her screams were heard by the governess, a young
lady of 21 years, who immediately ran to the spot, saw
her• again sink, and jumping in head foremost, caught
hold of her, and succeeded in holding her head above
water for fifteen minutes, while the elder sister ran for
assistance. Both were in the water for a quarter of an
hour before assistance arrived, and they were safely drawn
to land.— Western Morning News.

A BRAVE YOUNG LADY.—For some time past
the gentlemen residing in one of the districts near Liver-
pool have had their premises frequently visited by thieves,
whose sole object seems to have been to steal the fowls
which the gentlemen keep. Between nine and ten o'clock,
a night or two ago, the niece of a Mr. Eastwood was in
her uncle's house alone, the servant having left on some
errand. She was startled by hearing the cackling of
fowls in the hen-pen in the garden, and on looking
through the window saw two men in thr " run," which
is enclosed by wirework. There were two pistols on the
chimney-piece, one of which was loaded with small shot,
and was already capped. The loaded one she took down,
and, armed with this formidable weapon, went into the
garden to attack the two thieves. They were both in the
" run," and one of them had a duck under each arm. She
immediately placed the barrel of the pistol through the
wirework, aimed at the lower part of the man's body, and
discharged the weapon. The man uttered a cry of pain,
dropped the birds, and, with the assistance of his com-
panion, climed over the garden wall into a field, and
escaped.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.—A public meeting has been
held in Stamford-street Chapel, Stamford-street, Black-
friars, in furtherance of the movement for conferrihong the
right of franchise on all females being
freelders,
householders, or ratepayers, or who are fulfilling the
conditions of property or occupation required of men.
M.P., occupied the chair, and there
Professor Fawcett,
were also

present Mr. T. Thiglies, M.P., James Hey.
The chairman opened the proceedings by contrasting
the condition of women in the various civilised coun-
tries of the earth. He combated the argument that
women were intellectually inferior to men, and contended
that, with equal advantages, they had generally proved
