IClnclnmaH Comm rcigi. ri sondon, April
is, 1Si6.--Eyery one has heard tho story
that . ysTitsof the last century, arrested while
drunk, answered to the demand OF the mo.
lice for his Names iiEam WiIberforce.
The great phiiaht hrppist and statesman or
that period, when he Joined In the laugh,
which this droflery excited, could hardly
have known that his name and blood were
destined to suffer a real disgrace oil much
deeper character than that with which the
tipsy wag painfully associated it. To many
ardent admirers OF the heroic Peformer,
who wrote q scatliing book on the differ
ence between English Journalism and real re-
hgion, It has already been almost a
scandal that bis son should have been
the most pompous prciate and arrogant
rltlalist Of modern England; but few were.
prepared for the degradation 'of the honored
name which has just occurred. The present
Wilbcrforcc--Son OF the late Bishop, ard
grandson OF the great statesman--is coun-
try magistrate, and owns estates. Two little
boys, sons OF o farmer who Is his neighbor,
were recently discovered by Wilberforce's
gamekeeper digging at q rabbits hole on his
estate. The farmer went to see the magis-
trate to apologize for the offence, and repre-
sent the thing as a childish folly which
ought not to be publicly noticed. Wilber-
force, asserting to this, told the farmer
to send the boysste him, which the farmer
unsuspectingly did. Whereupon this g ma
gistrate" took them into stable and beat
them so severely that the flesh was torn
of OF both the boys in long strips from
head to foot, and they are at this moment
enduring the most fearful asonies. At one
time 1t seemed doubtful II they would re
cover. They are children Of about ten and
twelve years Of age. The Lord Chancellor
has administered ! reprimand to WILDER
force. But there are some persons who are
not satisfied that a reprlmand is sufficient in
such case and I obssiY ttiat the yigilant'
Dir. terTaylpr is set down 9sr a, motion

brute is aEGt personito administer Justice

From the way in which some gentlemen
talk about the Washington gathering, we
might imagine that somebody felt hurt at
not being invited to make one OF the distin-

the affair seem rather like Hamlet without
