APARTMENTS TO LET.

The Newcastle people have had a little excitement
!ately. Mrs. Rhind, a widow lady, was in the habit
of letting lodgings, and on the present occasion her
rooms were let to the St. James's Amateurs, of whom
Lord Arthur Clinton was one. There were four of
them, and they were engaged to perform at the New-
castle Theatre. During their stay they managed to
run up a bill amounting to over £7O, and when the
bill was presented, Mrs. Rhind could not get her
money. She therefore sued Captain Sloan, one of the
lodgers. The defence was that Mr. Cowen, proprietor
of the Newcastle Chranicle, and Mr. Stanley, the lessee
of the Tyne Theatre, were responsible for the debt.
The amateurs gave their services for nothing and
expected that these gentlemen would pay their
expenses for them. On the strength of this they
appeared to have lived "in clover." Messrs. Stanley
and Cowen professed only to have agreed to pay
travelling expenses. The case was a very lengthy
one. Mr. Digby Seymour, the recorder, tied to stop
it, that an arrangement might be made ; but the
parties concerned persisted in carrying the litigation to
the end, and the result was a verdict for the plaintiff for
the full amount. The evidence contained some interest-
ing revelations of the habits of amateurs in their eating
and drinking, and lastly, their disinclination to
squander money in paying debts. One of the four
amateurs, one Maitland, seem to have incurred more
than half the expenses of the bill, after the others
left him to himself, but Captain Sloan will have to
pay it. The distribution of the liabilities of the
quartet will be an interesting amusement for the
rrallant Captain, and the collection of the money as
teresting and perhaps more exciting.

FOREIGN NOTES.

AMERICA.

The lion. Reverdy Johnson has annour.c d to the
American Government that he has signed a protocol with
the British Cabinet regulating the rights of naturalised
citizens. The New York Times says this arrangement is
supposed to be similar to the treaties which Mr. Bancroft
recently negotiated with the German Government,.
The main feature of these treaties, it will be remem-
bered, were embodied in the principle that foreigners
naturalised in this country should be entitled to pre-
cisely the same rights and franchises as native-born
American citizens. "We do not see that any more could
be claimed than this, and Mr. Seward has secured its
recognition by half the Governments of Europe. We sup-
pose our new Minister to Vienna, Mr. NVatt, will presently
negotiate a similar treaty with the Austrian Government.
It is important that the principle should be recognised also
by Spain, France, Russia, and Italy."
The Republican press is unanimously writing against the
election of General Butler.

The price of American bonds has risen considerably in
Europe since the nomination of General Grant. Some of
the New York journals hope that the Five-Twenties will
soon reach such a Sgure as to permit of the resumption of
spc die payments.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251.220. per Li sterling
On cainparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 iis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appemrs that
gold is about 2.loths per cent. dearer in London than in
Parts.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at CO days' tight was on the last date about 1 9J per cent
At this rate there is no profit on the importation, of gol
from the United States.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT PERU AND ECUADOR...—.
The contributions to the Relief Fund during the past
week have exceeded £6,000, including a donation from his
Royal Highness the Duko of Cambridge, and a sum of .GOO
from the Corporation of London. This liberality of the
public will enable the committee to remit a further sum
for immediate distribution among the ruined survivors of
this almost unequalled visitation. It is a remarkable fact
that at Arica, and Iquique the heaviest losses have fallen
chiefly:on our own countrymen.
It is proposed to give a grand fete towards the
end of the present mouth, in honour of Prince Humbert
and the Princess at Pompeii, when a portion of the ancient
city will be decorated to represent scenes of Roman life.
A large sum is destined for this fete, which is to be de-
frayed by the Aiunieipality of Naples.

and Lisette.

The Lincoln Autumn Meeting will take place on Thurs-
day and Friday; and although the first day unfortunately
comes into contact with the last at Worcester, Mr. Ford's
gathering is sure to be strongly patronised by Lincoln-

shire and other sportsmen. The Lincoln list is made up
of fourteen races, five of which are completed for Thurs-
day. For the Autumn Handicap (1} miles) eighteen
horses remain in from the original thirty-six nomi-
nations. Knight of the Garter, 9st, is the top weight ;
but we believe he will be reservod for the
Liverpool Autumn Cup. The horses we take to be
best in this handicap aro Three per Cent., 7st 111 b;
Orion, 7st 91b; Fairwind, 7st 91b; Lady Coventry, 7st
-41 b ; Christmas Carol, 7st 21b; The Spy, 6st 131 b ; and
Nine Elms, fist 131 b. Although the distance is longer
than he likes, Orion will be bad to beat ; but he does no.
appear so tempting as Three per Cent. and The Spy, one
of whom should win. The Blanknoy (Stakes (6 furlongs)
will bring together a strong field, as Prince Imperial,
Dryad, The Orphan, Ventnor, Robespierre, Cocoa Nut,
the filly by Oulston out of Crucifixion, April Morn, and
Master Tom have, amongst others, been named for it.
Of these we prefer the Crucifixion filly and Robespierre,
tbo former of whom is entitled to the full allowances.
The Burton Stakes (1 mile) appears likely to be carried
off by Edinburgh, Historian, or Mr. Drewitt's represen-
tative ; the Johnstone Plate (4 furlongs) bj Bel Giornio,
Consternation, Pearlfeather, or Mr. Head's selected ; and
the Steeplechase Plato (3 miles) by His Lordship or Mr
Wellfitt's representative, Marigold or Barbarian. The
Autumn Steeplechase (about 3 miles) has proved a failure,
as only seven horses have accepted, and the best of these
is Meanwood. There are lengthy entries to the Aveland,
Nursery, and Hainton Handicaps ; but as previous running
at the meeting mill materially alter the aspect of these

-aces, we can only point out Consternation, Bonnie Katie,

and April Morn as being well in in the Nursery, and Ep-
worth Ventnor or Sir F. Johnstone's representative may

win tho Hainton Handicap.

SEAMARKS,

The conditions of barometrical pressure have recovered very rapidly
from the disturbance reported on Saturday, and an increase has
taken place during the last twenty-four hours on all coasts except in
the extreme north, where pressure has began to decrease again. The
weather seems still unsettled, as there is a difference of more than
seven-tenths of an inch between readings at Nairn and Rochefort.
Temperature, which rose yesterday, has again diminished generally,
and is rather low on our N.E. coast. During Saturday night heavy
gales were felt on all coasts—south-easterly on the E. coast, but on
the coast of Ireland, where the violence was greatest, the gale wag
westerly. To-day light to moderate north-westerly winds pre,"
over these islands ; whilst in the W. of France the wind is strong
from the westward. Heavy rain was general yesterday. The weather
is now fine in the N., but cloudy in the S. and W., and appaerntly is
not settled as yet.

his party. Di. ColensoOpens- fire
a flat contradiction to an assertion made
in the House of Lords by the Bishop of
Oxford, that he (Dr. Colenso) had received
"private remonstrances, brotherly counsel, and ten-
derest and kindest counsel from his seniors at
home." To support his contradiction, he gives
his published reply to the letter of the bishop's
calling upon him to resign, in 1863 in which
he expressed his regret to the Archbishop of
Canterbury that his first act of intercourse should
have been of such a character, and that with the
exception of a letter from the Bishop of Oxford and
a message from the Bishop of Capetown that the
Bishop of St. Asaph was willing to enter into a con-
troversy with him, not a single expression of brotherly
Idndness had reached him. The Archbishop replied
that he believed the Bishop of Capetown had
intimated the Primate's willingness to hold an
amicable conference with Dr. Colenso, which the
latter had refused, and that the tone of his writings
seemed to repel friendly intercourse. Dr.
Colenso replied that the Metropolitan of
South Africa had not done .anything of the kind,
although Dr. Colenso had written to him offering to
meet any of the bishops privately. Since then Dr.
Colcnso hats been left alone. The latter part of the
bishop's letter is devoted to a complaint of the in-
accur.Lcy of the statements which came from the
colony, referring especially to the reported inter-
ference of the authorities in his favour, as announced
by Lord Carnaivon in the House of Lords. Dr.
Colenio accuses the Bishop of Capetown of being
betrayed into grave inaccuracies when dealing with
Natal affairs, and refuses to believe that a Royal
mandate will be issued for the consecration of a rival
bishop. Now that matters of fact, as well as of faith,
have entered into this lamentable difficulty, it wears
a more unsatisfactory aspect than ever. I •
POLITICAL SERMONS.

That our clergymen might preach on politics
without offending, and without bad taste, were they
only to choose principles and morals, rather than
parties and persons, is proved by a list of sermons to
be preached in Whitc.,,chapel during the coming season.
With one exception, these sermons—so fax at
least as the subjects are concerned—might be deli-
vered to Liberal or Conservative congregations.
One of the subjects is "Local selfishness in voters,"
another " Bribery," another " The claims of party
and the duty of private judgment," this latter to be
preached by the Rev. Stopford Brooke. Mr. Maurice
takes as a subject, "The faith of a people." Another
of the subjects is " Private property and public
good." We commend these subjects to some of our
"political parsons."

APARTMENTS TO LET.

. .
The Newcastle people have had a little excitement
lately. Mrs. Rhind, a widow lady, was in the habit
of letting lodgings, and on the present occasion her
rooms were let to the St. James's Amateurs, of whom
Lord Arthur Clinton was one. There were four of
them, and they were engaged to perform at the New-
castle Theatre. During their stay they managed to
run up a bill amounting to over £lO, and when the
bill was presented, Mrs. Rhind could not get her
money. She therefore sued Captain Sloan, one of the
lodgers. The defence was that Mr. Cowen, proprietor
of the Newcastle C'hrunicle, and Mr. Stanley, the lessee
of the Tyne Theatre, were responsible for the debt.
The amateurs gave their services for nothing and
expected that these gentlemen would pay their
expenses for them. On the strength of this they
appeared to have lived "in clover." Messrs, Stanley
and. Cowen professed only to have agreed to pay
travelling expenses. The case was a very lengthy
ono. Mr. Digby Seymour, the recorder, tried to stop
it, that an arrangement might be made ; but the
parties concerned persisted in carrying the litigation to
the end, and the result was a verdict for the plaintiff for
the full amount. The evidence contained some interest-
ing revelations of the habits of amateurs in their eating
and drinking, and lastly, their disinclination to
squander money in paying debts. One of the four
amateurs, one Maitland, seem to have incurr&l more
than half the expenses of the bill, after the others
left him to himself, but Captain Sloan will have to
pay it. The distribution of the liabilities of the
quartet will be an interesting amusement for the
"allant Captain, and the collection of the money as
teresting and perhaps more exciting. -

FOREIGN NOTES.

AMERICA.

The Hon. Reverdy Johnson has annour c 2,51 to the
American Government that he has signed a protocol with
the British Cabinet regulating the rights of naturalised
citizens. The New York Times says this arrangement is
supposed to be similar to the treaties which Mr. Bancroft
recently negotiated with the German Governments.
The main feature of these treaties, it will be remem-
bered, were embodied in the principle that foreigners
naturalised in this country should be entitled to pre-
cise ly the same rights and franchises as native-born
American citizens. "We do not see that any more could
be claimed than this, and Mr. Seward has secured its
recognition by half the Governments of Europe. We sup-
pose our new Minister to Vienna, Mr. Watt, will presently
negotiate a similar treaty with the Austrian Government.
It is important that the principle should be recognised also
by Spain, France, Russia, and Italy."
The Republican press is unanimously writing against the
election of General Butler.

The price of American bonds has risen considerably in
Europe since the nomination of General Grant. Some of
the New York journals hope that the Five-Twenties will
soon reach such a figure as to permit of the resumption of
specie payments.

THE CONSIIRACT AGAINST THE SULTAN.

The Liberty says the famous plot against the lire o.
the Sultan was nothing more than a little foolish
table-talk. The conversation turned on the agreeable
topic of poisoning, and one of those present made a
remark to the effect that he wished the Sultan were
operated upon. The talk spread, and hence the " ecn-
spiracy." The Liberec', does not, however, readily get over
the papers which were seized ; but as the culprits are dis-
*barged, and the affair is at an end, it is not worth whi.
to closely question this ingenious, but not wholly E.Oia-

THE ROYAL FAMILY.

The Army and .21raty Gazette says the projected
journey of their Royal Ilighnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales abroad has now been definitely
decided. They will leave England about the middle
or November to proceed to Paris, Germany, and
Denmark ; afterwards Greece and a portion of Asia
Minor will be visited ; and, finally, the distinguished
ivoyagers 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, lion. Mrs.
Grey, Colonel Keppel, and Dr. Minter.—
The English Churchman states 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 he may shoot during his approaching voyage
round the world.—His Royal Higlmess the Duke 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 unassuming
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.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

Mr. Melly, M.P., addressed, a few days back, a meeting
held in Staffordshire. The meeting was held in 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 had 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 £t),000, and there is still
a deficit of about £1,400.

in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern
Railway Terminus, King's Cross.
Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY tho QUEEN.
Vice-Patron—
His Royal Highness tho Prince of WALES, K.G.

President:—His brace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the promises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ;
Herries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and
Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Barclay and Co. ;
Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co., Borneo-street; and at
the Hospital from 10 till 5.

A CHARGE OF FORGERY.

Mr. F. H. Lewis made an application of a rather
peculiar character in reference to the case of a pri-
soner named Arthurßichard Bolton, who is charged
with forgery. Upon the bearing before the Lord
Mayor there appeared to be grounds for believing
that the prisoner was of unsound mind at the time
the alleged offence was committed, and the Lord
Mayor allowed the prisoner to find bail for his app
pearance to take his trial. Under these circum-
stances he had to apply to the Court to allow the
recognizances of the witnesses for the prosecution
to be discharged, and that no prosecution should
take place.

The application was granted.

news of the assassination of Win. Parker, chief sepn-
intendent of the Panama Railroad, by Jas. L. Baldwin, a
civil engineer of the road, at Aspinall on the 24th ult.
Mr. Parker will be remembered in Massachusetts as the
principal builder :and first superintendent of the Boston
and Worcester Railroad, whose affairs he managed for
several years. Subsequently he became president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and, later still, of the
Boston and Lowell. When called to the Panama Rail-
road, seven years ago, he was consulting engineer of
the European and North American line at St. John's,
N. B. Baldwin, who shot Mr. Parker in cold blood, has
a family at Troy, N.Y. After committing the crime he
shot himself in the heal, though by last accounts he was
alive.
