The United Service Gazette says :—" The Secretary of State for War has decided upon granting a substantial : reward to the family of the unfortunate deceased, Mr. to Snider, the inventor of the new breech-loader." 60 In the course of a letter to the Rev. W. C. 40 Dowding, the Bishop of Lichfield writes :—" The question to which you have cared my attention, and so in which you take so warm an interest, is one ~, of no common difficulty. I hardly know indeed any pmc- ; tical difficulty greater than this question ; the question IR 66 to the right observance of the Christian Sabbath. t 4 For the puritan observance of it I have no liking ; nor do I believe that it has tended to the increase of true religion. 111 But, on the other hand, I should be grieved to see the lax continental observance of it introduced into this country. I am by no means so assured as you appear to be that the relaxation of which you are desirous, in regard to Sunday amusements, and the opening of places of exhibition, might not tend to the desecration of the day and to the loss of many of the blessings which the present observance of the Sabbath in this country brings with it. I admit, however, that there is a great deal to be said on your side of the question. t I cannot, occupied as I am, now go into the discussion of it." The York Industrial and Fine Art Exhibition (says the Leeds lkrcury) was formally cloaca yesterday, its success having far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its promoters. The number of visitors to the Exhibition has been 377,800, or an average of 4,400 per day, and the receipts have amounted to 13,3707., which will leave a handsome surplus after the payment of expenses. The Archbishop of York, who inaugurated the Exhibition, was expected to close it, but in his absence, owing to domestic affliction, this duty was discharged by the Lord Mayor. The number of medals distributed was 113, and of certificates, 143. A grand fête de nuit is to take place at the Prussian Embassy on the 15th, at which several Italian states. men now in Paris will be present. Amongst these is mentioned General Menabres. Count Bismarck will stay a few weeks more in Rugen, to enjoy the remnant of his holiday at the sea-side, A decision of the Frankfort Court of Justice in relation to transactions in shares of the gambling establishment at Wiesbaden has met with approval among the respectable merchants. An action to enforce a contract has been dismissed, on the ground that the court " declined to interfere in such immoral transactions." Dealings in shares of this description are prohibited in the open market ; but, nevertheless, they take place privately among unscrupulous persons, and these are said to boast openly on the Exchange that the sentence of the court will be reversed, and that bribery will prove as successful at Berlin RI it had proved in such matters elsewhere. " Still," it is remarked, "it is highly improbable that Prussia will any longer sanction so disgraceful an industry. Scarcely a month passes without suicide or rain for life of some unwary person victimised by the French farmers of these establishments." Itimmers Almanack for 1867 makes itself pleasantly knows. The perfumed leaves an gay in colour, and is in designs.
