built of the same stone, ia in excellent
preservation, because it was carefully
selected. He did not blame architects,
engineers, masters and workmen for not
knowing more about stone, because he
knew the difficulty of obtaining informa-
ton. He stated that the last work which
treated on the subject, I c., the Commits
sioners' Report, published in 1899, at 3D.,
was not to be got now under los. or FL,
and the Mineral Statistics, part 2, for
1858, although most valuable work, did
not 60 deeply into the subject. In con-
clusion, he considered that the cause of
technical calculation, in that particular
and important branch, would be greatly
advanced if the heads of professions
of architect, civil engineer and the trades
connected Herewith would appoint an
architect, civil engineer, chemist, geolo-
gist, builder and practical stonemason,
and get the Government to appoint them
Royal Commissioners, with the usual
power to report on all the principal
quarries in the United Kingdom, and
collect specimens, such specimens aud
report to be placed in the public museum
in every large town throughout the coun-
try. Until that was done, he felt con-
vinced that we should continue to build
our public and private structures of good
and bad stone mixed up together, with
the same miserable results.

The following letter from Mr.. Bright
to the Secretary of the Birmingham Lib
eral Association was read at the meeting
in that town, on the l4th, in support Of
the Irish Church bill:
LONDON, June 9, 1869.
DEAR SIR: must ask my friends to
excuse me if l am unable to accept their
invitation for the meeting on Monday
next. The Lords are not very wise, but
there is sometimes profit to the people
even in their unwisdom. If they should
delay the passing of the Irish Church
bill for three months, they will stimulate
discussion onimportant occasions which,
but for their infatuation, might have
slumbered for many years. possible
that a good many people may ask what
is the special value of constitution
which gives majority of one hundred
in one House for a given policy, and a
majority of one hundred in another
House against it. 1t may be asked, also,
why the Crown, through its Ministers IN
the House of Commons, should be found
in harmony with the nation, while the
Lords are generally in direct opposition
to it. Instead Of doing little childish
tinkerinq about Life Peerages, it would
be well If the peers could bring them
selves on line with the opinions and
necessities of our day. In harmony with
the nation they may 90 on for long
time, but throwing themselves athwart
its course, they may meet with accidents
not pleasant for them to think OF. Bat
there are not few good and wise men
among the peers, and we will hope their
counsels may prevail / am sure yeu
will forgive me if / cannot come to your
meeting.
Believe me always, very truly yours,
JOHN BRIGHT.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, jane ~
Thomas Downey, who was brought to
this city on Saturday last, from Cincin-
natl. upon q requisition from Governor
Stevenson, charged with committing q
rape upon young woman named Annie
MeShane, was srraigned before Mayor
Buchanan yesterday afternoon, between
three and four o clock, for examination.
Mr.. r. w. Nelson, County Attorney, ap-
peared on behalf Of the Commonwealth,
and the prisoner was represented by y.
w. Root, Esq Downey took a seat by
the side Of his attorney, and the first wit
ness for the prosecution had been called,
when Hugh McShane, a brother of the
yapnC woman alleged to have been raped,
who had accompanied her to the court
house. drew pistol from his pocket, and
before any one could interfere placed it
within a few feet of Downey's head and
fired. The ball passed entirely through
the prisoners throat, anterior to the
windpipe, and lodged in the wall of the
courtroom. The wound produced is q
very severe one, though not necessarily
fatal. Downey, after receiving surgical
attention from DIR. Thornton, was con-
yeved 10 his home. McShane made no
attempt TO escape, but quietly submitted
to arrest, and was lodged ia Jail. His
sister, who, it is claimed, was outraged
by Downey several months ago, is en-
cienfe. The courtroom was crowded
with spectators when the shooting took
place, and of course, great CONSERVATION
was caused for few minutes by the
affair.

A PER1LoUs BALLOON VoYAGE.-Thc
Saginaw (Michigan) Enterprise relates the
story of one of the most perilous balloon
voyages on record. Professor La Noun
tain was the only occupant of the balloon
which ascended from Bay City on the af
ternoon of tho 18th ult. The balloon had
leaked badly, and his companion was
obliged to get out of the car, when those
who held the balloon let 60 suddenly, and
the air vessel passed upward with dread
full velocity, without either ballast. instru.
ments, food, or companion. In few
minutes the balloon had attained an alti
tude of two miles, and was driven by a
very strong gale directly towards the
lake. 1t passed into a snow cloud, which
speedily coated it and everything in and
about it. The escape valve was frozen
tight, and Professor La Mountain, in
pulling with all his might to open it, drew
out the rope and thus cut off another
means of escape. The balloon still passed
upward, and emerged into the clear, cold
air above. The involuntary traveller felt
something must be done, and quickly. lie
climbed the ropes above the hoop, and
felt for his knife, but he had left it below.
Clinging with one hand to the ropes, he
tore with his other hand and his teeth q
hole in the side of the balloon. Passing
to the other side he repeated the process
and then returned quickly to the car.
His fingers had been frozon while thus
exposed. He heard the cloth tear and
saw the rent open from the bottom to the
top. The balloon had gradually slacken-
ed its upward progress, rosted q moment
in equilibrium, and then began to descend,
slowly at first and then with a velocity
more frightful than that of the ascent. AT
the height of two miles from the ground
the gas had completely left the balloon,
but the air had rushed in and made sort
of parachute. Professor La Mountain
was in half unconscious state during
the descent, although he remembers pass
ing through the cloud, less distinctly on
seeing and nearing the earth, and then he
became wholly unconscious. Whom his
senses returned he was lying in wood,
and several persons had come to his assis-
tance, having seen him fall. lie had been
stunned and severely bruised, but had
broken no bones, and suffered no internal
injury. The spot where he landed was
seven miles from Bay City; the time hc
had been in the air is not stated.
