on Saturday the House of Commons met at noon
in order to consider various questions, the chief
point of importance being the withdrawal of the
Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill. It is, in-
deed, much to be regretted that the Government
should have been compelled to take this step, but
the entire blame rests on the Opposition. Mr.-
AYRTON bad no more cause to be ashamed of the
success of his tactics than to be rejoiced at them,
and his praises of the forms of the House, which
enable a minority to defeat a majority, suggests the
idea that it would be well to alter them. Here is
a measure which was much called for being
put off at least a year in consequence of the factious
mano3uvres of a particular faction, for over and
over again the sense of the House was declared in
its favour. No wonder that Mr. AYRTON'S remarks
were received with dissentient comments, and that
surprise was expressed at his declaration, that the
majority of the public agreed with his views on the
matter. The annoyance which was occasioned by
the withdrawal of the bill was shown by the nume-
rous remarks that were made, and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer very truly said that it was
unusual for a sustained debate to be beard on
the subject of a bill being withdrawn. The right
bon. gentleman said, with perfect justice, that the
Government had done all they could to forward
the passing of the bill. They merely gave it up in
consequence of the very strong opposition which
was made to it, and some other obstacles which pre-
sented themselves. The City authorities, declining
to become the market authorities, had also rendered
the financial part of the scheme more difficult than
it had been previously. At the same time we have
no doubt that the bill would have passed had it not
been for the tactics resorted to by those who set
themselves deliberately against it from the first.
The triumph, such as it is, of throwing out a mea-
sure which the interests of the public demanded is
entirely due to the late period of the Session, and
the reasons which imperatively call for an early
prorogation of Parliament. It has done no credit
to the Liberal members who have worked so sedu-
lously in the cause of obstruction, and, indeed, it
has only shown to what strategems people will re-
sort when they have once given way to prejudice.
Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and Mr. AYRTON, and some
others, have put themselves in a very unfavourable
light before the country by the manner in which
they have conducted their course respecting this
bill, and it will be remembered against them that
they would not allow reason or argument to
prevail, but opposed to the common sense sugges-
tions that were made the repeated demand for re-

A most daring, but fortunately unsuccessful, at-
tempt at highway robbery was made in Southwark
last night. Between eleven and twelve o'clock Mr.
William Ransley, a respectable tradesman living in
the Westminster Bridge-road, after returning
home from a trip in the country, was making his
way through the Borough-market, when he was set
upon by six ruffians and thrown down. One of the
fellows then attempted to take his watch, but while
he was so engaged Mr. Ransley recovered his feet,
and struggled with his assailants, at the
same time keeping a firm hold of his watch, which
fortunately was secured in his pocket by a patent
watch protector. One of the men then seized Mr.
Ransley by the throat, while another attempted to
loosen his hold upon the watch and chain, and in
doing so severely injured his hand. He was then
thrown down again, and kicked most brutally in
various parts of his body until he was rendered
well-nigh insensible. At this juncture steps were
heard in the direction in which this was going on ;
and the fellows, finding themselves baulked in get-
ting the watch and chain, gave several parting
kicks, and made off. Mr. Ransley, however, was
quite unable to follow them, being much injured from
the treatment he had received. By the help of
some persons who afterwards came up he was
enabled to get into the Borough-road, where,
for the first time after his attack, he met
with a policeman, to whom he gave information of
the circumstance. Though Mr. Ransley had a large
sum of money in his possession at the time, and a
valuable gold watch and chain, which the thieves
were intent upon having, he fortunately succeeded
in resisting them so far as to keep his property
intact.

The Baroness Rothschild has sent the composer
Michel Bergson a diamond pin, accompanied by a
letter expressing her admiration of his " Charac-
teristic Studies," now in use at the Conservatoires
of Paris, Berlin, and Geneva.
A bi-weekly paper, thoroughly antagonistic to
church music, observes :—" The setting of the mere
externals above the essentials of worship which is
the essence of Ritualism appears to be rendering
choristers even more assumptive and insubordinate
than usual, and we notice that several members of
a country choir have resigned because the rector
refused to allow them to cross themselves during
the service." This may be understood as referring
to a correspondence which has taken place between
the Vicar of Sherburne and one of his choristers in
reference to the practice of the choristers crossing
themselves during service. The rector believes the
practice " to be at variance with the principles of
our Church," an opinion not shared in by some of
the choir, who have accordingly resigned their office.

It is certain that something of the kind will have
to be done next session which has been proposed in
this bill, and yet we have seen all this clamour raised,
and all this intoleration shown in the matter.
Seldom has a bill been withdrawn in consequence
of mere factious opposition having been shown to
it, and there is little cause to be proud of a victory
that has been brought about by the recent
extraordinary tactics and unusual strata-

Mayo, praying the release of Mr. Richard J. Pigott,
of the Irishman newspaper, who is now undergoing
his sentence for seditious libel. It will be recollected
that Mr. Pigott was sentenced on the 22d of Fe-

that subsequently it was intimated to Lim that on
entering into the recognisancts directed by Mr.
Baron Deasy, who tried the case, he wonld be re-

father is now in a precarious state of health, and his
death is considered imminent. Dr. Lyons has given
a certificate to this effect, which has been attached
to the memorial. No reply has as yet been re-

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1868,

ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON.

At Eton Uoliege on Saturday the advent of "election"
dine was marked by the usual celebrations, but though
;he regalar programme was strictly adhered to, there was
paucity of visitors throughout the day. Dr. Okes,
he Provost of King's, with his two posers, Messrs.
3odgson and Mosley, reached the college shortly before
wo o'clock, having driven from Slough in the time-honoured
:oach-and-four. He was received by the college officials,
laid then the ancient
." cloister speech " was delivered
beneath thiquadrangle clock tower by Mr. Prothero, K.S.,
ho captain of the school. There was an afternoon
lapel at three o'clock. The principal attraction, however,
vas a cricket match in the " playing fields," the game
eeing between the Eton eleven and the officers of the
Household Brigade, and ending in favour of the latter. By
permision of Colonel Dudley Carleton the drums and fifes of
;he Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards were in attendance on
~he ground, and helped greatly to enliven the proceedings.
At 4 o'clock the Provost of Eton entertained a selectparty of
visitors in the Old College Hall, covers being laid for 40
guests. The valuable college plate, including the silver-
gilt model of the chapel, decorated the sideboard. The
Ashburton Shield and the Spencer Cap, won by Eton at
Wimbledon, were displayed in Mr. Williams's window, and
attracted great attention. About six o'clock the departure
of the boats' crews for the waterside drew the sightseeing
portion of the public with them, and the banks of the
Thames were quickly lined with spectators. On the river
the band of the Life Guards occupied a boat, and played at
intervals before the start. The crews of the boats who
were to row in procession wore fancy costumes, as upon
the " Fourth of June," and the craft left the front
at the Brocas for Surley Hall about seven o'clock,
amid merry peals from the Julius Cmsar Tower of Windsor
Castle.
