OOO.  The long Ritualist squabble at Preitbury, near Cheltenham, has terminated—or enters on • new phase, as the case may be—by the appointment of the Rev. F. Garney, as enc.:eager to Mr. De la Dem The peculiarity of the Prestbury case wa, thatthe advow. sonof the living belonged to the late vicar's father, and I that both theee reverend gentlemen were so popular in the village that, when the son was deprived for illegal Ritualism, and it devolved on the churchwardens to nominate a locum tennis, they instantly authorised the convicted clergymen to carry on the services in his old style, until his father should be pleared to make another appointment. It may not be generally understood what the ap. pointment of • sub-lieutenant to the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert really means. A young officer with influence at headquartera—generally devoid of any other recommendation —is gazetted to the yacht. Within two months he is promoted to the list of lieutenants, over the heads, perhaps, of 50 or more of his seniors, and during the period that his name remains on the yacht's books he is granted leave of absence I These appointments take place I annually, and three have Just been made. One I of the favoured trio goes over the heads of 157 of his I brother officers ; and another, a son of Sir A. 1 Cooper Key, passes over no fewer than 75. It would be difficult, even in the navy, to point out a more scandalous abuse of patronage than this. Popular edition* both of the Queen's book and of the Princess Alice's letters will be published early in the autumn. The Queen is anxious to have a sixpenny edition of the latter work.  It is stated that the Earl of Euston is about to make another attempt to obtain a divorce from his wife. • A horrible discovery has been made at II lliwell, near Bolton. A policeman found in a wood adjoining the highway a bundle wrapped in a coarse cloth, containing a human arm, evidentl, a woman's, which had been torn out of the socket; also shoulder-blade and portion of a skull. The limb was nearly devoid of flesh, and there were traces of corrosive liquid 'having been used. Blood was found on the cover. Another bundle was also discovered, contaioing some old clothes. The supposition is that murder has been committed.  A farmer named Burke, while working in his field, at Athossal Abbey, Tipperary, was attacked by a party of men armed with bludgeons, with which they beat him no severely that his life is deqaired of. The outrage was the result of a dispute about land.  A cock.fighting match was orange(' to take place the other evening at Monkland Glen, near Airdrie. Upwards of 200 persons were attracted to a secluded part of the glen, and four birds w* re started, two on cads side, for a stake of £B. A p dice inspector from Airdrie, with three constables, suddenly appeared on the scene, and secured one of the principals. This provoked resistance from the crowd, and the police were somewhat roughly handled. The police, knowing all the men concerned, allowed them to retire, with the exception of one man, whom they took in custody.  Tao crew of the bteamer Ihlabole, of Newport, were landed at Ilireembe on Thursday morning, their vessel having sank ins oollision.
