Au official proclamation has been made of the postal
convention between the United States and the Colon4l
Government of Hong Kong. The mails are to be carried
by the direct line of American packets plying between
San Francisco and Hong Kong.
Twenty thousand Norwegians, Dines, and Swedes
are expected in America this spring. The most of them,
it is thought, will settle in the West.

its inflictions will refuse to leave unless means for extir-

nor shortness of breath on slight exertion should be per-

taken for their removal, more especially

NAMES EivniNr- IN • "ON.P

----~ ..:

We have recently, on ir am than one occasion, drawn
attention to some striking. Ovoincidences—coincidences in
names and trades, coincilences in averages, and so on ;
the fact that the slim nnmber of thousands will, each
week, for many weeks trgether, visit some public museum,
or go night after night.Avith few to spare to some parti-
cular dramatic enterVaiument. Boxed up alone in a
railway carriage a few nights ago, the observation,
belonging to the same class of facts, occurred to us that
a large proportion kof our most eminent men in their
various paths bearia name ending in " on." Thus we

iave :

Bacon, our gre'stest philosopher ; Byron and Thomson,
our greatest c 1( m.iptive poets ; Clarkson, Buxton, and
Colston, some of our greatest philanthropists ; Gibbon,
our most eminent historian : Clarendon, not far short;
Gibson, one of onr best sculptors ; Hilton and Hay don,
amongst our best historical painters; Incledon,
our greatest ballad - singer ; Jameson, our greatest
female 'writer on art ; Johnson and Addison,
our most distinguished essayists ; Lytton, our greatest
living novel writer ; Milton, our greatest epic poet ; Mur-
chisor.o our most distinguished geologist ; Newton, our
grealaNg astronomer; Palmerston, the most English of
stamen ; Stephenson, our greatest railway engineer;
Tennyson, our greatest living poet ; Wellington, our
greatest military commander (with Napoleon for adver-
sary) ; and Nelson, our greatest sea-captain.
As amongst men of lesser rank, Ben Jonson, Chatter-
ton, Hutton, Wharton, Emerson, Simpson, John Britton,
Alison, Paxton, Rawlinson, Bennington, Watson Gordon,
Noel Paton, Hepworth Dixon, Mark Lemon, Gardener
Wilkinson, James Fergusson, Donaldson, Sir Thomas
Watson (our first physician), and many others will recur
to the memory. Surely this is very remarkable, and, so far
as we know, the observation has never keen made before.
All these names speak of progress : they cry, " Excelsior!"
Echo herself says, as each name is repeated, " On !"
The circumstances that London may be given as the
scene of their labours, and that these lines were penned in
Brampton, may serve curiously to carry on the terminal
coincidence, though they do not bear on the original obser-
vation.— Builder.

The English Church Union report states that

their " Case and ()pinion " has cost £4OO ; the St. Alhan's
and East Teignmouth cases, £1,600 ; other cases, £2OO ;
and various other matters, £10) ; total, £2,300 ; leaving a
balance of ZOO ; but there was still owing £2,000 for the
St. Alban's and East Teignmouth cases, exclusive of the
costs of the appeal.

liODELs IN MINIATURE. —His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, on visiting the agricultural show at
Dublin, was much interested in some exquisitely-finished
models of machinery made by artisans employed at the
works of Messrs. Howard, Bedfo; d, and expressed his
admiration of a beautiful miniature plough, weighing only
two ounces, yet perfect in every part. Messrs. Howard
offered, and his Royal Highness has since signified his
pleasure in accepting, the gift.

LAND TRANSFER AND REGISTRY OF DEEDS.--
The Qneen has been pleased to appoint the Right Hon.
John Baron Romilly ; the Right Hon. Spencer Horatio
Walpole ; Mr. George Markham Giffard, a vice-chancel-
lor; Mr. Edward Howes ; Mr. Arthur Flophouse, one of
her Majesty's counsel ; Mr. Jacob Waley, Mr. Henry
Thring, Mr. Edward Parker Wolstcnholme, barristers-at-
law; Mr. John Young, and Mr. William James Farrer, to
be her Majesty's commissioners to inquire into the opera-
tion of the Land Transfer Act, and also into the present
condition of the r:gistry of deeds for Middlesex.

A 'THIEVES' PRAYER MEETING. —At the Glasgow
Special Circuit Court, before Lard Jerviswoode, four
men, named Harrison, Longford, Forsyth, and 'Rodgers,
were charged with robbing a Sabbath-school teacher
under somewhat peculiar circumstances. The teacher, it
seems, while standing, at the door of the Wynd Free
Church one evening in February last, was accosted by a
young man, who asked him teaccornpany him to a horse
in New Wynd, where there were a number of children
whom he wished to have brought to a meeting then being;
held in the church. The teacher consented, and on enter-
ing the house found there a woman, two children, and ono
of the prisoners. Shortly afterwards the other prisoners
appeared on the scene, one of them intimating that
he - hail just been holding a . prayer meeting, and
wished to hold another. Longford, one of the prisoners,
then read the 2nd and 3rd chapters of St. John, after
which another offered up a long prayer. The teacher after
" worship" was over, when about to leave the house, was
seized by Harrison, who told him he was in a bad house,
and "would have to pay the consequences." The " conse-
quences" seemed to be so much money, which the teacher
had not to give, and the prisoners then proceeded to rob
him. He made a vain resistance, and was speedily relieved
of his coat, vest, and watch, an operation which was
rendered easier than it otherwise might have been by a man
outside the door, propcs:ng to tie him and throw him over
the window. The poor fellow was let oft without further
molestation, and on giving information to the police the
four prisoners were speedily apprehended. The jury found
them guilty, and Lord Jerviswoode sentenced them each to
five years' penal servitude.
DEATH OF MISS COPLEY.—Death has at length
carried off the last surviving child of John Singleton Cop-
ley, the well-known R.A. and historical painter, the
venerable Miss Copley, sister of John Singleton Copley,
Lord Lyndhurst, whom she has survived by little more
than four years. Miss Copley, who has jutt died at the house
of Lady Lyndhurst, in Eaton-square, was in her 95th year.
Of Mr. Copley's three daughters, two grew up to woman-
hood ; of these two she was the younger ; and it
may be of interest here to record the fact that her elder
sister, Elizabeth, who married a Mr. Greene, died at Bos-
ton, Massachusetts, on the Ist of February, 1866, at
the ripe age of 95. As Lord Lyndhurst had completed

anshe will be well remembered by many of those
whod were privileged to enjoy the society at Lord ndnsi
Lynd-
hurst's, where she was always lively and cheerful, and
displayed a rich fund of anecdote and pleasant remini-
scences. Her portrait as a little child,_playing with the
future Lord Chancellor of England and her other bro.
thers and sisters, will be remembered by all those who
saw the celebrated family group painted by Copley,'
which used to hang in the large drawing-room of Lord
Lyndhurst's house in George-street, and formed one of
the attractions at South Kensington during the Great
Exhibition of 1862. - .
