tlnEent has been almost inactive during thu
past week, and its malign influence
has quickly faned. Mr.. Gould's
new cable alarms the holder:

aud that reduced rates will not eventually
prove Injurious to the existing companies

are prudelltIy taking advantage Of the r;lge
for possessing relics of thar remarkable man,
by selling all his furniture and effects, and
everything they can lay their hands OIL.
Ills house, - Culzon street, is now
open for inspection, and to-day crowds
Of people were streaming through
it. 1t WAS almost impossible ut noon to get
near the outer door. Ills bedroom is the
chief object Of curiosity. with its Wonderful
llangings of blue silk covered with rcd roses.
The walls are covered with this silk, and the
bed-curalns are Of the same azure hue, litter

Of s6- The urawing-ronn is tlcckri out i'll
crimson satin, and there is blue velvet every
where. Thc colors throughout the house
are on a par in brilliancy with his peacocks
at llustenden, the dazzling crarats he
wore to tile last moment, ami even
with that l!asily waistcoat Of his early days,
which Mr.. Bright once said was 1.-THE proto-
type of his foreign poiicy.'' 1t is probable
that these gaudy articles will fetch three
times tlleIr real value. If the executors

realize small fortune. II is whispered that
they are actually thinking OF doing so.
4 coon HARVEST TIt1S yEAI:
may send to lift England ont Of her present
depression, and blow to the winds the
lamentations OF the l'ess;mists, but it is
argued i'll the Quarterly that neither
one good harvest nor ten would
ton will be debated III the
House OIL Aug. ;, on resolution put on the
paper by Mr. Ashncad Bartlett, Tory 'nenl-
Der for Eye, which reads rs follows: That.
i'll the opinion Of this House, all
should be unrcstrictcd; that no COLI
merciat treaty should be made with
foreign Powers that will not admit British
products OH equal terms, and that reta'iatory
duties be placed upon the products Of those
foreign States which exclude British prod
ucts by protective taritIs'' The association
formed by a number of peeresSes
and other ladies' Of distinction to
British Industry by tliscardng
foreign fabrics and wearing British goods,
has secured the patronage Of the Prince and
Princess Christian, an casy-going couple,
who take Il hand in everything harmless. 1t
is quite possible. i'oweyer, that the -Associa-
tion may do the British artisan good turn.
Some years ago the Princess Of Wales
revived the Irish poplin trade By wearing
[,optin almost to the exclusion of silk, and
She turned Lter attention to the encourage
mcnt of Irish pottery by giving large orders
for the famous Beeek ware.

The general flow Of the sacred narrative
