than he has ever yet been—now, that is, that to his
responsibities as an individual legislator and as a re-
cognised Tribune of the People, have been added the
still weightier and more solemn responsibilities of
a Cabinet Minister, a servant of the Crown,
and an affirmed Councillor of the SOVE-
REIGN. Of the Lord Privy Seal nothing whatever
departmentally of this kind, as a matter of course,
can by possibility be said—that office, among all the
offices in the Cabinet, being purely and simply orna-
mental. But, without in any respect speaking
invidiously in either instance, it is only right and
reasonable that we should add that in the case
of the Lord Chancellor, in the case of the Lord
President of the Council, many will look un-
questionably for acts that shall justify the selection
to those offices of State, of Lord DE GREY and
RIPON, and of Lord HATHERLEY. It would be idle to
regard as superfluous the manifestation by these two
noble lords of the justification of their selection,
each of them respectively, the one as occupant of the
woolsack, the other as head of the Council Board—

On the N.E. coast the increase in pressure noticed yesterday has
been succeeded by a fresh diminution of considerable extent. Read-
ings at all stations arc now lower than yesterday, but in the S.W. cif
Ireland pressure is again recovering itself. Readings are low in the
N.W., and a difference of six-tenths of an inch exists between those

about 10 deg. in Scotland. The southerly gale reported yesterday
afternoon in the S. of Ireland extended to the entrance of the
Channel, and lasted till about midnight ; a strong S.W. wind was
a:so felt in the S.E. of England. This morning moderate S.W.
winds prevail in the Channel, but in Ireland the gale continues from

The sky is cloudy, and it is now raining on the E. coast. Weather
appears still unsettled. The sea on the Irish coast has not gone

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

Lord HATHERLEY by his energetic furtherance
of legal improvements generally, Lord DE
GREY and RIPON by his strenuous advocacy of
the cause of National Education. From the Home
Secretary there will be eagerly looked for, now, that
resolute attention to the hitherto, in a great mea-
sure, disregarded interests of the population at large,
in the dealing by the authorities with that criminal
residuum still at large, and on the loose, as one may
say, in all our great and thickly-peopled cities—
classes that were in a manner seared and branded
as with a pen of red-hot iron by Lord MAC -
AULAY when he wrote of them as
16 Heathone in
of cbristianity, and Savages in the midst
of Civilisation." From the Foreign Secretary, now
that he has been called upon to resume once more the
office for which he is so peculiarly well qualified, im-
mediately in succession to a Foreign Secretary as
popular and as successful as Lerd STANLEY—from the
Earl of CLARENDON, in the light of the succers
and of the popularity of his immediate predeces-
sor, much, it is almost idle to say, will
be looked for, in the way of placable and
dignified conciliation in all our various diplomatic
relations with the great Powers of the earth in either
hemisphere. The Indian Secretary, the War Secre-
tary, and the Colonial Secretary, each in turn will
be scrutinized by the people at large, out of an ear-
nest solicitude on the part of the latter to witness
the systematic and energetic development of
a wise and activo policy in each, respec-
tively, of those great and comprehensive de-
partments. Upon the Secretary for Ireland
mere than ever, there will just now necessarily de-
volve a heavy weight of responsibility by reason of
the vastness and of the radical importance of the
great measure of innovation now about to be ap-
plied by the Imperial Legislature, at the direct in-
stance of the newly installed Ministry, to the general
conduct of the Government of the Irish people.

THE RUMOURED RECALL OF LORD MAYO.—
Some of our contemporaries have reaffirmed the
accuracy of the statement respecting the recall of
Lord Mayo, and have added that the letter of recall
has actually been despatched to the new Viceroy.
They are, however, mistaken. We have the authority
of a Cabinet Minister, and also that of another dis-
tinguished member of the Liberal party, that the
Cabinet have not taken that step. So far as the
Marquis of Salisbury is concerned, the matter is set
at rest by a letter from that nobleman in the Times
denying that he is going to India.
A gentleman named Rotherham, residing at Ath-
boy, county Meath, has been fired at near his own gate as
ho was returning home from the railway station. Slugs
struck Mrs. Rotherham, who was sitting beside him in his
carriage, in tho forehead. Her life is in some danger.
Bisgrove, the Wells murderer, immediately after
his condemnation, begged to see an Independent minis-
ter, to whom, after ho had engaged in prayer, he stated
that on the night in question,
being quite intoxicated,
he lay down near Cornish; he awoke, and ho had an
impulse, not from any feeling of revenge, or with
any intention of robbery, to kill the man. He got up
in a semi-drunken state, and went to the brook, and
there ho took up a stone; he carried it to the spot
where Cornish was lying, and threw the stone upon his
head, and that blow killed Cornish. No one was with him.
This tends to exculpate S wee+, his fellow-prisoner, alto-
gether, and shows that the evidence of the woman Drew
was substantially correct.

BUCHAREST, Dec. 1

Mr. Justice Hayes, who is taking the criminal
cases at the Liverpool assizes, does not share the opinion
entertained by some of his colleagues that grand juries are
useless. In his charge, delivered on 'Wednesday, his lord-
ship remarked that, whatever , might be said with
respect to the use of grand juries, it was ob-
vious that they afforded to the gentlemen engaged the
opportunity of acquiring some knowledge of the state of
the criminal classes of the country. It was very desirable
that they should be made acquainted with the sort of moral
volcano which existed in the country, because gentlemen in
their position had the means of setting in motion and en-
couraging everything tl.at might tond t) diminish crime
and check in a groat measure the causoa which were an in-
ColltiVO to it.

from the Throne has been agreed to by a majority

THE SIAMESE TWLY,S.

Chang and Eng, known all over the world as " The
Siamese Twins," are expected to arrive in Edinburgh this
week, and intend to appear before the public. Their last
visit to this country was in 1830. With the exception of
the time taken up in a trip to the Continent of Europe,
they have since resided in the United States. With the
competence realised during th eir successive tours through the
Old and New Worlds, they retired to the county of Surrey,
North Carolina, having previousiv'wen married to sisters of
the name of Greenwood, daughters ot a clergyman in North
Carolina. The marriages were celebrated in November
1842, and each of the twins has now nine children, some of
whom accompany them on their present visit to Europe.
The object of their voyage to Europe is twofold, and is of
arather melancholy character. They have lost their pro-
perty through the recent American civil war, and find it
necessary to resort to the same expedient by which they
were originally put in funds. And they have, further,
arrived at a time of life when they are forced to contem-
plate the day of their death as not remote. Born in 1811,
they are now in the sSth year of their age, and the
possibility of one dying before the other brings with
it considerations which must render an event, serious at
all times, particularly trying to them. They have accord-
ingly made up their minds to submit to a surgical opera-
tion, if the surgeons of Paris are prepared to undertake
the unprecedented task of severing the living ligament, by
which they have been connected for nearly sixty years.
The purpose of the twins in making their first stay in
Edinburgh is to have a consultation with Professor Syme
and others of our eminent surgeons before proceeding to
Paris.

SHAREHOLDERS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.

On Thursday afternoon a meeting of shareholders in rail-
ways and other joint-stock companies was held at the
London Tavern, for the purpose of considering what steps
ought to be taken to protect them in the present state of
commercial affairs.
Mr. W. BROOKS, on being called to the chair, said there
were thousands of shareholders suffering extreme distress,
not only in the metropolis, but in all parts of
the country, on account of the liabilities they bad incurred
in connection with joint-Mock companies. He had re-
ceived many representations and many suggestions and
sehemes for the relief of the present distress. Some
persons had suggested a philanthropic system, such
as the Society for Protecting Young Women. He did not
think there was much sympathy for shareholders out of
doors, and much esprit de corps among their own body.
When companies were started, shareholders implicitly
followed the directors, and at length they found that
their confidence had been abused, and they fell an easy
prey to the lawyers. In time past lawyers were a plague,
but liquidators were a great deal worse, and he knew
cases in which liquidators had most shamefully
squandered the property. A lawyer went up
to a court and received his 6s. Bd. or 13s. 4d.,
but a liquidator received twelve guineas a day for his
attendance. No wonder, therefore, that the assets of
companies mysteriously disappeared. At present the law
was in a most disgraceful state, and frauds of the
grossest and most abominable character were per-
petrated, concocted by men in -what were called
respectable mercantile positions. Shareholders were
plundered, and the ill-gotten gains were appropriated
to the purchase of estates, or to obtaining a seat in Par-
liament. Such men were received into society because
they were successful, and the plundered shareholders had
no remedy. There had only been three or four prosecu-
tions in connection with these frauds, only three convictions.
Of these two had received her Majesty's free pardon. In
one case her Majesty's late Secretary of State had
released the person connected with the frauds on the
Leeds Bank because confinement did not agree with him,
and because within twelve months he had lost a few
Pounds of flesh. During that time there had been twenty-
seven premature deaths among the plundered shareholders,
seven of them being suicides. He thought that attempts
should be made to obtain an alteration of the law,particularly
in the matter of winding up. The chairman concluded by
suggesting that a protective association should be formed,
expressing his conviction that there were persons at the
Board of Trade who would give valuable assistance in
carrying out the scheme.
Dr. Tnom, after giving some startling facts in reference
to practices in various joint-stock companies, and suggest-
ing remedies, proposed that an association should be
formed to' be called " The Shareholders' Protection
Society."
Mr. H. N. NASH, in seconding the resolution, expressed
.hope that the association should embrace all companies.
Several gentlemen expressed a fear that the shareholders

would scarcely be found to join a common association,
preferring to act together in individual cases of failing
companies. On the other hand, it was strongly urged
that it would be very desirable to make the experiment,
inasmuch as no very serious risks coald be incurred.
The Chairman then put the resolution, and it was
carried, it being arranged that any person paying two
guineas a year should be a member of the society.

The society was then declared formed, and Mr. Brooks
was elected chairman.

Dr. Thom, Mr. James Beal, and Mr. J. L. Nash were
appointed a committee to carry out the arrangements,

The nominations of the new Ministers will take
place at the beginning of next week, and so far no
opposition is threatened in any case. On Monday Mr.
Gladstone will be nominated at Greenwich, Mr. Bright
at Birmingham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the
University of London, Mr. Goschen in the City, Mr.
Forster at Bradford, Mr. Stansfeld at Halifax, the Attor-
ney-General at Plymouth, and the Solicitor-General at
Exeter. Mr. Cardwell will be returned for the city of
Oxford on Tuesday.

THE PROPOSED SYSTEM OF POLICE WATCHING.
At the Marylebone Court-house, on Wednesday, a meeting
of the delegates appointed by the various metropolitan
parishes to form a deputation to the Home Secretary respect-
ing the necessity for a change in the system of controlling
the police and the better watching of the metropolis, was
held, under the presidency of Professor Marks. The form of
memorial decided upon provides for a withdrawal of police
supervision from the Government, and placing it under

the control of the ratepayers. To prevent mismanagement
arising from the control being placed in the care of mino-
rities, it is proposed to divide the metropolis into four
sections—north, south, east, and west—each division
having a governing body for its own locality, and a central
body to be established, to be appealed to by any or all of
the sections when necessary.
• SIR WATKIN WYNN AND THE PEERAGE.—The

of perusing a letter addressed by Sir Watkin to his friends
and supporters, of which the Ullowing is a copy:—` Dear
sir, I beg to thank you most cordially for the kind way
in which you have assisted in returning me for the seventh
time as your representative in Parliament. It is a position
which for more than a century and a half has been the
most prized distinction of my family; it was preferred by
my great grandfather to an earldom, by my father to an
earldom, by myself to a peerage. Times and circumstances

DEATH FROM LIGHTNING. —A great storm raged
4.t Merthyr on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Through-
out the wind was very violent, and occasionally hailstones
/ell with violence. Towards midday on Wednesday the
sky cleared and the aspect of things was sunny in the ex-
treme. It was remarked that there was an April fresh-
ness in the air ; but with more rapidity than even a summer
storm dark thunderclouds swept over from the west, and
a most terrific gale raged for half an hour, the rain and hail
coming at intervals, and exceedingly vivid lightning playing
around the mountains. During this storm a fatal accident
happened on the hills near Merthyr. A poor old woman,
a character in her way, known as Betsy Shon Evan, had
gone with a couple of donkeys to the mountain in order to
gather sandstone. Not returning towards night, search
was made, and the dead bodies of the old woman and her
donkeys were found, they having evidently fallen victims
to the lightning.

THE LATE BRADFORD ELECTION. LETTER

received from Mr. :Mall, in reply to one sent by the
working men of Clayton :—" Welland House, Forest
Hill, S.E., Dee. 10, 1803. Messrs. Andrews and Firth.
—Gentlemen, causes which I need not particularly
state, but for which I cannot hold myself responsible,
have prevented my being able until now to acknow-
ledge the address of sympathy forwarded to me
through you from the working men at Clayton. I beg
now to express my heartfelt appreciation of the honour
they have done me, and my cordial thanks for the generous
feeling they have displayed. Though surprised
and disappointed at the issue of the late election at
Bradford, I rejoice with you in the triumphs achieved
for Liberal principles in so many other parts of the
country, and now hail with satisfaction the advent of
Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, and their colleagues to
power. Whether my exclusion from Parliament was
fairly and legitimately effected time will chew ; at any
rate, I shall not cease to labour in any sphere remaining
open to me for the advancement of the political truths
which I professed at Bradford, and which will always
remain dear to my heart, as I doubt not they to
yours.—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfully and gratefully,
