ENGLISH STATISTICS. Last week the
birth-rate of London was 81 per 1000 of
the population, and the death-rate only
19-fgures which speak volumes for the
sanitary condition of this greatest
metropolis of the world.
AMERICA AND MEMCo.-The attitude
of America on the Mexican question ex-
cites interest and apprehension in this
country. The journals friendly to
America express hopes that the repub-
lies will not quarrel, but will try to set
tie their differences peaceably.
The QUEENS MOVEMENTS. Much
feeling is felt in society on the retire
ment of her Majesty the Queen to her
Highland retreat at Balmoral during the
height of the season, those who love a
royal show Directing that the good lady
should grow tired Of parade which she
must feel by this time to be the dreariest
of vanities.
| EXTRAORDINARY FAVOR SHOWN GEN.
GRANT.-The Queen has given orders to
the Lord Chamberlain to waive the usual
presentation ceremonies out of regard to
the nations guest, and extend to the
General and Mrs. Grant invitations to
all the court entertainments. This is
almost unprecedented, and shows the
great esteem in which he is held in En-
gland.
The Cars DAUGHTER. There are an
unusual number of court rrlmors in cir
culation. One is that the Marquis OF
Lorne voted against the desires of his
father, the Duke of Argyll, in opposition
to the Gladstone resolutions, solely to
spite the Duchess of Edinburgh 1the
daughter of the Czar). Another is that
the Duchess of Edinburgh was com
PEELED to retire to Coburg on account OF
the anti Russian feeling in the royal
palace, Still another is that the Ear
of Beaconfeld advised the Queen to take
a telephone to Balmoral, but that look
on as sly joke. It is said also that the
Princess of Wales is sinking from physi-
cal prostration.
HE GLADSTONE HOROSCOPE. Mr..
Gladstone's demonstration is generally
regarded here very seriously, and as
pointing to great deal more than an
agitation on the eternal Eastern question.
It is, in fact, looked upon as his first
step toward assuming the leadership of q
new Radical party, whose programme
will involve such great reforms as 1.
The disestablishment of the national
Church of England, just as the Church
of Ireland was removed from state con.
troll, or, as has been said, from the con.
troll of the state. 2. A complete reform
in the tenure of land, such as the abo1i-
ton of primogeniture and the right
of entail. 8. Perhaps the abolition. OF
the House OF Peers as governing body,
if not, indeed, the entire abolition OF
titles of nobility as we'll. This is the
widest possible sketch of the aims at
tIibuted to the Radicals, and they car
only go step further to be thoroughly
democratic.
