LION SHOOTING.

Two of our military Nhnrods, Lieutenants Stacey and
Tinling, have been lately to the Joonaghur Beer, or forest,
in quest of large game. The latter officer, before leaving
the Beer, in company with his brother sportsman, managed
to bag two lionesses and a large lion. The latter, a
huge monster, measuring nearly eleven feet from the
tip of the nose to the shaggy end of the tail, appears to
have tried the patience and mettle of its antagonists. At
the first meeting the encounter ended in a flesh wound,
which made the "lord of the forest" scamper into the
jungle, leaving a gory track to mark the path. The pursuit
was about to be given up, after a long search, when a native
discharged a "Manton" into the brushwood, and the lion
reappeared and made a dash at the two officers, who allowed
the brute to come pretty close up before firing. The
simultaneous volley, so far, however, from slackening the
velocity of the charge, accelerated the motion. In the
twinkling of the eye both sportsmen bounded a few paces on
each flank, leaving a passage for the infuriated beast to
pass, and immediately after, on the lion refacing, planted
a bullet (Lieutenant Tinling, I believe) between the brute's
two eyes, which brought it lifeless to the ground. The
triumph was signalised by a bumper of iced champagne.
Lieutenant Stacey, since the return of his companion, has,
it is said, bagged two tigers, a tigress, and two cubs, and
some half a dozen panthers and cheetas.— Correspondent of
Deccan Herald.

At a special general meeting of theLondonlJniver-
sity College, on Saturday, Professor Grote, the historian
of Greece, was elected president, in the room of Lord
Brougham, deceased. The high literary attainments and
position of Mr. Grote eminently fit him fur this distin-
guished post.

Mr. Longfellow has, it is understood, put a
veto upon the acceptance of invitations to public enter-
tainment. His objection, however, does not extend to
Trivate invitations, such as that which he has received for
hursday next, from the distinguished American artist,
Ur. Bierstadt, to a banquet at the Langham Hotel, where
he will meet a distinguished party of literary men, among
*hom will be Mr. Alfred Tennyson.

THE DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FOR
OSBORNE.—Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their
Royal Highnesses Princesses Louise and Beatrice, Prince
Leopold, and Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse,
attended by the suite, is expected to leave Windsor Castle
about Wednesday for Osborne. Her Majesty will travel
by special train over the Great Western and South
Western lines to Gosport, and cross thence to Osborne.

Circulars have been issued by the great beetroot
sugar refinery at Itzehoe, in Holstein, to the farmers in
the vicinity of Eutin, inviting them to cultivate beetroot
on an extensive scale, and binding themselves to erect a
new establishment in that town capable of working up
200,000 centners of roots annually, provided the pro.
prietors of at least 1,000 acres of laud are willing to turn
their attention to that specks of cultivation. They offer
to take any quantity at a certain fixed rate, and the cost
of the new works at Eutin is estimated at 200,000 dollars.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A BAPTIST
MINISTER.-At the Newport Petty Sessions, William
Jenkins, Baptist minister, has been charged with felo-
niously shooting at Sarah Green, at Itisca, on the 26th ult.
Complainant was a domestic servant in the employ of Cap-
tain Jacobs, of Holly House, Risca. On the day named she
was in the garden when prisoner called out to her, and
immediately fired at her. When the police searched his
room they found a six-barrelled revolver, five of the
chambers being loaded with ball, and one discharged, the
empty case of the bullet being found in the discharged
chamber. A few days previously the police suspected the
prisoner of being of unsound mind, and sent him to the
union to be examined by the medical officer of the union,
but he was discharged. He told the magistrates he shot
the girl out of humanity. He was committed for trial at
the assizes, bail being refused for Lis appearance.

DEFEATED ATTEMFT AT MURDEIL.—On Saturday
morning, at about two o'clock, at Newark, a most daring
and diabolical attempt at murder was inade. It appears
that an old man, a retired publican, named Gee, who resides
in Queen's-road, and who was supposed to keep a consider-
able sum of money in his house, was confronted by a
would-be murderer, who had effected an entrance at the back
of the premises. A struggle ensued as the desperado endea-
voured to cut the old man's throat ; but the old man, who
is a cripple, used his crutch with such vigour that he not
only, except a few scratches, kept himself out of the way
of the knife, but he also struck the knife, which caused it
to enter the ruffian's own hand. Gee also knocked his
crutch on the ceiling to give an alarm to a lodger, which
caused the assailant to make off, with his hand bleeding
most profusely. The blood was traced to a man's house
in the neighbourhood, a ticket-of-leave man, named
who has kepi arrested on the ckar e

A most interesting despatch from Sir R. NANErt
is published to-day. It is addressed to the Socre-
tai y of State for India, and bears date Suez, June
18. As the Expedition by that time was termi-
nated, a few observations on the " political condi-
tion" of the country were most appropriate, and
their perusal cannot fail to be attended with inte-
rest of the highest degree. The power of the
Emperor THEODORE is described as being much
greater than is commonly supposed, though it was
only felt in a circumscribed limit. Sir R. NAPIER
attributes his great power and the superiority which
he possessed over the other princes chiefly to " ar-
tillery." Another thing which contributed to his
ascendancy was that the other chiefs hated each
other as much as they did him, and, therefore, were
not likely to combine against him. A point of some
importance, in estimating the exploits of our army,
is here mentioned, and that is the power of THE-
ODORE was not at an end, as some have sup-
posed, for Sir R. NAPIER declares the contrary to
be the case. The march from "Debra Tabor"
to Magdala was not a retreat, and the reason of
his burning the former was in consequence of
one of his chiefs deserting him, and he resolved
to fulfil the threat he hal made, that, in
the event of his not returning, he would destroy the
places, because it was in a great degree the property
of the chief in default. On the whole it seems that
THEODORE had only to " show himself" in any par-
ticular part of Abyssinia in order to have his supre-
macy recognised immediately, but he had not suf-
ficient command to prevent insurrection in places
where he was not present, so that Le was a most
formidable antagonist altogether, and one by no
means to be slighted in forming an estimate of
engagement with him. Sir R. NAPIER records his
sense of the great services rendered to our army
by Prince KASSA of Tigre, both on account of the
supplies purchased through his agency, and also for
the assistance rendered by the commissioners whom
he allowed to remain with the forces, and who kept
up a " satisfactory understanding" with the natives.
the best advice was given by our General to this
Prince and the other chiefs on his departure. He
aesurcd them that if they wished to preserve their
independence they mast be united among them-
selves, and also abstain from encroaching on their
neighbours. He also promised to make it known
that the people of Tigre are friends with the British
as a guarantee to preserve them from universal
oppression.

The chief of Hadjerat gave a good deal of
trouble, and the communications with him were
❑ot satisfactory on the whole, but Sir It. NAPIER
showed his wisdom in accepting the apologies
made, as there was no certain prouf of
his being responsible for the attacks made on
him by those connected with him. Abyssinia is
likely to become the scene of struggles by those
who are ambitious of power in consequence of the
death of THEODORE. The policy of the English
was to do what was possible in the way of some-
thing being done before their departure ; but, as
may be imagined, it is difficult to say what is and
what is not likely to take place under such a confu-
sion of affairs and with such curious combinations.
In summing up the effect of our expedition upon
the country, Sir It. NAPIER says that the removal
of THEODORE has been of great benefit to the
place, and give no single cause for regret. The
object of our undertaking has been happily accom-
plished without interfering with the rights of the
princes and the chiefs ; and the " prospect of
Abyssinia enjoying tranquillity is at this clay fairer

President JOHNSON has consistently endeavoured
,o counteract this policy, bat his warnings and his
efforts have alike been disregarded. On Saturday,
we learn by the cable, he took advantage of the oc-
casion to issue a prochniation pardoning all parti-
cipants in the Southern rebellion excepting those
who have been indicted for treason-felony. Cer-
tainly as the months go by without any attempt at
rebellion being made in the Southern States, and
grow into years, it becomes manifestly absurd to
keep up the old language of repression and severity.
The Southern people, exhausted by the severity of the
protracted struggle and by the enormous efforts
they had made to maintain it, influenced, too, by
the decision of their most trusted leaders, accepted
their reverse of fortune with surprising fortitude.
Had the North carried out the humane policy of
Mr. LINCOLN, or had Mr. JOHNSON been sufficiently
strong to put his own principles into action ; there
is do doubt that the South would have rapidly re-
covered from the consequences of the war. But the
maintenance of martial law, the prominence given
to the negroes, and the resolute exclusion of the
Southern States from representation in Con-
gress, have all militated against their re-
covering their position, and have hindered the
people from heartily subscribing to the old
form of government. Now that the long-delayed
representation has been accorded, it is done in a
manner which defeats its>lf. There is reason for
suspicion that political animosities are at the
bottom of the movement, even such as it is. The
arrangements and conditions imposed at the regis-
tration offices are so transparent that the return of
Radical candidates is almost certain, and thus the
desired result of strengthening the party in the
Senate will be attained. It is currently re-
ported that THADDEUS STEVENS contemplates
the reopening
of the Impeachment question
against President JOHNSON, but that he will not
press action on it until next Session. The
object of the delay of course would be the acces-
sion
of new Senators, and the consequent addition
to the numerical majority of the Impeachers. It
may be thought that this is hardly worth while
when Mr. JOHNSON'S terms of office has so nearly
expired, but this is the real object—the Presiden-
tial influence at the coming elections. So much
for Radical disinterestedness and public virtue

TEMPLE BAR.—" Kitty" is continued, and the
many stratagems of that fair damsel aro faithfully
rendered. The scenes in Paris are comically told,
and furnish a smart satire on would-be gentility
and pretentious doings. "Brittany and the Bre-
tons" is an interesting sketch, mixed up with ac-
counts of cheap living that are most tempting to
those pining under the pressure of home bills of
fare. "My Grandfather's Codicil" is well de-
scribed. " Where Shall 'We Go this Summer ?" is a
sketch that is suggestive in its way, and tells many
pleasing tales of appropriate spots for a change of
scene. " A Trip to Sark" is a delightful paper on
the wonders and beauties of that island. Some
verses are met with of an interesting nature ; and
some stories, such as" Uncle William's
Dead Wig,"
" Meg Hartley's Love,"
impart a vivacity and va-
riety to the contents that are welcome and pleasing.
Altogether the reader will find plenty of amusement
and instruction put before him in these pages, and
cannot well be at a loss to suit his taste among the
diversified table of con tents.

in which it is conducted by Mr. Brett. The tales,

which, we are glad to find, is dying out,• and the
contents are varied, amusing, and highly instruc-
tive--", Walks Round London"most particularlyso;
while a new tale, " The White Squaw," by Captain
Mayne Reid, merits attention. "The Young men
of Great Britain" is a companion work to the for-
mer. It abounds in excellent tales, among which
may be mentioned " The Night Guard," and a
capital Irish tale, " Fred. Nolie." The letterpress
and engravings are excellent, and, take them alto-
gether, of their class they are the best works that
have for a long time stood forward as candidates for
public approbation, and which, we are
happy to say,
they have secured.

Since Saturday morning the changes in barometrical pressure have
been very small. Yestkrlay morning a diminution had occurred in
the north (accompanied by an increase in the south), but this had
almost recovered itself again by six p.m. Since eleven p.m., how-
ever, a fresh decrease has commenced at Nairn ; but the mercury is
rising in London and at several southern stations this morning. Tem-
perature had risen over the British Isles yesterday, but this morning
it has again fallen at several stations. The winds since Saturday Lave
remained light to moderate from the N.W. and N., except at Toulon,
where they are strong. The weather is cloudy, and some rain has
fallen in places.

he first step in the direction of a South German Con-
federation has been announced by telegraph. The King of
Bavaria has given his sanction to the project of a South
German Military Commission, which shall regulate in
common the military affairs of the Southern States. The
question of the fortresses of these small nationalities will
first engage the attention of the commission. The
resources of the States singly are insufficient to maintain
the three great strongholds of Ulm, Bastadt, and Landau,
which are respectively situated in Wiirtemberg, Baden,
and Bavaria. The IndePendance Beige says the effective
arming of these defensive places will not be construed as a
measure of offence against Prussia, as the great German
State holds Mayence, which is the key of the southern
line of fortresses. This Military Commission, it must be
remembered, is merely in accordance with the Treaty of
Prague ; but if there be any likelihood of a South German
Confederation ever arising from these unstable elements,
the chances will be strengthened by community in military
matters. The Prussian (Cross) Gazette speaks contemp-
tuously of the Confederation, believing it would be anni-
hilated as soon as formed.

NEWSPAPER PRESS FUND.—At the meeting of the
committee of this institution, held at the offices, i❑ Cecil-
street, Strand, on Saturday last, sixteen now members
were admitted, and two grants made for the relief of mem-
bers. The annual general meeting was fixed for Friday,

The Government scheme for favouring the monopoly of
tobacco is the great topic of the day in Florence. It is
thereby roped to gain a great improvement in the organisa-
tion of the monopoly, besides a sum of money nearly suffi-
cient to meet the estimated deficit of revenue up to the end
of 1869. Of course the proposal is strenuously opposed.
Some persons recommend the issue of Treasury bonds for
the amount required, with the guarantee of the tobacco
monopoly. The Government might thus improve the
manufacture, reduce expenses, and increase the sale,
pocketing the money which now Eo:s to the private
companies. On the other hand, it is urged that a private
company will possess superior facilities for effecting these
improvements, and that the contract secures to the Trea-
sury a fair share of the advantages. The period for which
the monopoly is to be let—twenty years--is considered too
ling. -

TAXATION OF IRELAND. —A Parliamentary return
