without much alteration. We quote—Surrey fowls, is to

EGGS remain without quotable change.
BOROUGH HOP.

Messrs. Henry Turnbull and Co. report there continues
a fair demand for the better sorts of new English and
foreign hops, and prices are firmly supported. In some
instances coloury Sussex make more money. Other sorts
rule dull, at uneven quotations. The general reports
from the Continental markets are better, and there is a
fair inquiry, at fully late prices. New York advices are
more encouraging.

ME ROYAL 4CAD,EMY OF MUSIC.

Lovers of music are threatened with a great calamity.
The Royal Academy of Music is likely to be dissolved,
to judge from the proceedings at a meeting of its mem-
bers, held on Saturday, under the chairmanship of Sir J.
Pakington. The little support the institution has ever re-
ceived from Government is about to be withdrawn. The
Lords of the Treasury refuse any longer to recog-
nise its national character by recommending it to
Parliament for the annual grant of £5OO. They give two
reasons for this determination ; they have a plan of their
own for cheap musical education, and they are afraid that
if they continue the grant they will be obliged to give some
money to the Royal Irish Academy of Music, which has
made repeated claims for assistance. Why not pay some-
thing to both academies? The utmost the Royal Eng-
lish Academy has ever demanded (22,000) would not,
if doubled, very much lighten the national purse. The
institution has really done great good, and its course
of instruction is most comprehensive. It is very well to
talk of making it self-supporting, but it is rot easy to
make it so while it fulfils its true mission—that of placing
the very highest musical education within reach of the
poorest that have capacity to receive it. The Academy
began its existence with this design, but it has been
obliged to abandon the design for want of the means
to carry it out. It is not and never has been
intended to make the Government grant the sole
means of support ; of the £174,000 spent during
the forty-five years the Academy has been in existence,
£109,000 have been received from students' fees ; and of
the remaining £65,000, part has been raised by private
subscription. The meagre sum received from Govern-
ment has never been given without conditions ; and with
these the Academy has always shown itself most willing to
comply. Professor Bennett and Mr. Otto Goldschmidt
were put on the committee of direction in order to make it
more thoroughly worthy of the Government support. The
result of Saturday's meeting was the appointment of a
committee to consider in what way the case of the
academy could be brought more prominently before the
public.

WESTMINSTER.

A MODERN " JACK SIIEPIIERD."—John Shepherd,
a decently dressed boy about 12 years of age, was
charged with stealing a money-box containing
silver and bronze, the monies of Mrs. Murray, 34,
Pelham-street, Brompton.
Prosecutrix said that on Saturday she engaged
prisoner, who lodged in the same house, to clean
her room, and she having occasion to go down
stair, came up quickly and saw the prisoner put his
hands hurriedly into the pail he was washing in.
She questioned him about it, and he said he wanted
to get his work done quickly so as to get out of his
father's way,
as he had been out all the week. Hehad before stolen 2s. and it was looked over. She
locked the door, and in a few hours returned home
and then found the box and money were gone.
Prisoner could not be found anywhere till two on
Sunday, when he was found in the coal cellar.
_ _

Mr. Selfe—Now, Jack Shepperd, what have you
to say ?

Prisoner—l
know nothing about it ; I only had
4d. Mrs. Murray gave me for doing the room.
A lad was called to show that he was in posses-
sion of a large sum of money, but his evidence
failed ; and a female lodger said he was a thief,
and indulged in such vituperative language
against the prisoner that it was very evident he
had no friends in the house.

Elizabeth Shepherd, the mother, undertook to
produce him next Monday, and Mr. Selfe ordered
his liberation till then. The mother said the boy
would do well were it. not that all the other
lodgers abused him and called him
_a thief and
other names.
Remanded till this day week.

mission there were no fewer than seven authors
desirous of correcting the single sheets that each
other wrote. My only hope to bring it to a conclu-
sion was the means of resistance I had from the
printer's office. I knew that these remonstrances
were the only means I had in my power to put a
stop to these internecine criticisms. The first point
I had was, '‘‘ You must not alter the paging," and
the next was, " You must not alter the para-
graphs." My great dread was that in the last su
preme moment there would he a slip between the cup
and the lip in the printing office, and the whole of the
concluding day I spent in Messrs. Clowes's office, to
see that no hindrance took place there. When I
apologised for the extraordinary annoyance and
trouble, it gave me great satisfaction to hear them
say, " You, sir, cannot have greater interest than
we have, for after the toil, the labour, we have had,
we feel as anxious as you can be that the report on
the Oxford University should be out in a complete
form by 12 o'clock to-morrow, to be placed in the
hands of the Secretary of State." This proved to me
that the labours of author and printer were shared
in common. (Hear, hear.) The very rev. gentle-
man then, in a similar style, pointed out that, al-
though printing was well known in China long be-
fore its introduction to this country, there did not
exist in that remote region the reciprocal associa-
tion of author and printer through which the press
of this country derives its strength. In commend-
ing this corporation to general support, he congra-
tulated its members on the endeavours that are
being made to purify the press by the suppression
of filth and trash, and expressed his belief that upon
the whole the literature of Europe has more of good
than evil. (Loud cheers.)
Subscriptions to the amount of more than £5OO
were announced.

At intervals during the evening selections of vocal
and instrumental music were given by Miss Palmer,
Miss Berry Greening, Miss Edith Kingsley, Mr.
Alfred Weston, Mr. L. Burleigh, and Mr. W. Wil-
son. The duties of toastmaster were discharged by

GALLANT RESCUE.

A few evenings since a scene of great excitement was
witnessed on South Shields Sands by a crowd of people. A
number of salmon boats were off the South Pier at the
mouth of the Tyne, employed in fishing. At the time there
was a " hashy" sea rolling in upon the coast. About eight
o'clock one of the rollers coming in broke and capsized a
boat in which were William Templeman, Simon Harrison,
and John Burn, and the men were thrown into the sea.
They were being knocked about in the waves about 150
yards from the shore, when fortunately a number of the
members of the Life Brigade, who happened to be assembled
at the watch-house, caught life-buoys and belts and
p;rppplingirons, and rushed to the sands. By the time
they got there only two of the men were to be seen, and
they were clinging to the boat almost exhausted, covered
now and again by the seas that rushed over them. They
were about 100 yards from the shore, and remembering
that the sand was very level for a good distance out, some
half-dozen of the brigade, including W. Wright, P. C.
Clarke, B." Birch, Mr. Herdman, scripture reader on
board the Joseph Straker, and Mr. M. I. Gallow ran into
the water, dressed as they were, and proceeded as far in
as they could. More might have followed but for the
very significant warning of danger given by the narrow
escape of two of the bolder spirits—William Wright and
P. C. Clarke—who were twice thrown down by the
waves, and narrowly escaped the suction of the back
sweep. After that some even of those who had gone in
retired and joined the crowd of bystanders on the shore,
who were watching with anxiety, rendered the more in-
tense by their own helplessness, the efforts which were
being made. The boat, with the two men holding on to
it, washed nearer the shore, and as the waves receded
several of the party made a rush towards it, and happily
were just able to secure the men and get a firm foot-
ing again before another wave broke over them. Just
as this was done Birch saw the third man floating a
little below the surface of the water, and entangled in
the net in such a way that he could not be got out. The
prompt and active use of the knife soon settled that diffi.
culty, and in a few minutes more the three fishermen were
in the brigade-house, where stimulants and restorative
treatment were at once applied with rapid success in the case
of Harrison and Burn, but Templeman for a 1— ig time
remainedin a doubtful state. Drs. Crease and I ,gat were
sent for, and were soon in attendance, and under their care
Templeman gradually came round, and by ten o'clock was
quite recovered.

A MOTHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY

HER SON.

A fatal accident has occurred at Doddington, about
seven miles from Lincoln, which resulted in the imme-
diate death of Mrs. Elizabeth Pickworth, the wife of a
farmer, aged 56 years. The coroner's inquiry, held on
Tuesday evening, shewed that it was purley accidental.
Mary Law, servant, deposed that she was sitting sewing,
Mrs. Pickworth being in the room writing, when Joseph
Pickworth, her step-son, came in and got a powder-flask, a
shot-flask, and some wads out of a drawer. He put them
en the table,!but did not use them. Presently she heard a
gun go off, and saw Mrs. Pickworth fall from her chair
before she could save her from falling. Benjamin Pick-
worth said he heard the report of a gun, and on going
towards the house he saw his brother Joseph saddling a
horse, and he said he had shot his mother, and seemed
much distressed. He went off directly for a doctor. The
gun was kept in a corner of the room, and belonged to
Joseph. On Sunday morning witness loaded the gun to
shoot sparrows, but as the servants were then coming home
from church he put it back in the corner without dis-
charging it. Joseph bad been shooting sparrows with it
before, but had left it unloaded, and witness did not believe
that he knew it was loaded. By a juror: I left it on half-
cock. The jury examined the gun, and found the right
lock imperfect and unsafe, so that the least touch would
make it go off. On Joseph Pickworth being cautioned, he
said • I came into the house and spoke to mother, and then
took up the gun and laid it over my arm. I did not know
it was loaded. I laid the things on the table, and as I did
so it went off. It may have caught against the chain of
my watch. I had shot it off on Sunday, and had put it
away empty, and did not know it had been loaded again.
The jury were perfectly satisfied that the death of Mrs.
Pickworth was accidental.—Stamford Afcrcury,
