The Kenilworth Advertiser. — 1873-10-30 (Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England)

LIIIUSIOB.—A magistrate, in his oonfeadons, gives the following facts ti tworld :—" I had to address the patients of what Is called an 'aristocratic' asylum the otter day, and a round dozen of us sat down to a very comfortable dinner before the lecture. Oar party consisted of half a dozen ' selected ' patients, a clergyman, one or two visitors, and the medical staff. I have seldom experienced • more intellectual party. Politics, religion, and the social topics of the day, were discussed with surprising ability by the company generally, and it MI difficult to distinguish the lunatics from their corn. peptone at the table. I was so much struck with the jolly aspect of one of the party with an especially rut& cund face, that I nudged the chaplain, and asked him In confidence what was the old gentleman's deliunon. My rev, friend replied, in a whisper, 'He is not a patient, but a vieiter—my wife's brother 1' I made no more inquiries of that kind, bet I was so impressed by the intelligence of another gentleman present that I concluded he must be a local magistrate. He was absolutely great on legal matters, and I felt certain he must be a lawyer, and a very 'cute one too. Presemtly the conversation turned upon a suicide which had taken place in the village, a gentleman having shot himself the day previously. My legal friend described the oocurrence to me very minutely, and seemed quite affected by the incident. He then, with a gravity of countenance which quite disarmed me, added. 'And on know, Mr. G., the most disgraceful part of the businesshaa yet to be told. This gentlemen, who blew his brains out yesterday, had never taken out a licence "  MR. BRIGHT AT Brionsolikw.--Full reports of the long-expected speech delivered in Birmingham on Wednesday evening were telegraphed to the leading newspapers of Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edingh, Cork, Belfast, Dublin, Darlington, Newcastle, Hull, Sheffield, Bradford, Leeds,Liverpoo 1. Manchester, London, Bristol, Cardiff, Plymouth, and Exeter, and published in the first impressions of those papers on. Thursday morning. Besides having verbat In reports of the speech, many newspapers had long descriptive reports of the scene in Bingley-hall telegraphed to them. The separate reports sent from Birmingham to various parts of the country contained more than 160,000 words —s e.. more than 80 columns of Tist Times newspaper. One newspaper alone published in Its first impression nearly 12,000 words received by telegraph, which is equal to nearly six columns of Thg Times. In making arrangements for the trannundon of this vast quantity of news, the Post Office, as a a matter of course, was guided merely by the requirements of the Press. On no recent occasion has been so great a demand for a full report of a made in public. The best officers in the Bk. ingham Office were retained for the occasion. A large supplementary force was sent to their assistance. London and all the principal towns like arrangements for supervision and for actual work were made; and in Birmingham an abundant provision of wire and instrument accommodation was organized. On this occadon Birmingham communicated direct with no lees than 32 great towns, which, in their turn, transmitted the speech to other towns. It I. supposed that equally efficient arrangements will be made, if required, for the transmission of Mr. Disraeli's 'peaches from Glek gow when he visite that city in November.
