KIN.) the other side of the question, a banquet was given at Belfast to Sir Hugh Cairns, the retiring Attorney-General. In responding to the toast of his health, the right hon. gentleman explained that, in accepting office, he had expressed to Lord Derby a wish that, if the opportunity should arise, he might continue his services in a less laborious position, to which his lordship had kindly and considerately acceded. In reply to the old charges of listructivenese and bigotry brought against the Conservatives, Sir Hugh said he always was, and ever had been, an advocate for progress and improvement, but not for revolution. Believing in the capability of the Constitution for the development of improvement and progress, he was not for transferring air liberties to the tyranny of a multitade, a course which would I endanger property, and, through that, liberty. As an evidence of the wish of the Government to do justice to Ireland equally with the rest of the kingdom, he pointed out that he himself, an Irishman, had been entrusted with an office never before filled but by a native cf Great Britain; and contrasted this with the unfulfilled professions of the Liberal Administration. The right hon. gentleman concluded with a feeling farewell to the town which for so many years he bud repres sented in Parliament.  A MIELINCHOLT episode has intervened in the Snider controversy. The unfortunate inventor of the breech-loading gun, which is now being placed in the hands of our soldiers, has breathed his last, prostrated, as the S 1,1 r says, by the physical calamity which often results from over-taxed energies. From recent information, we glean that the invention was plaeel in the bands of Limit -Colonel Roden, as trustee for Mr. Snider, and others, who participated in the profits, and for some months past the colonel's solicitor had been in correspondence with the War Department upon the subject of remuneration to be awarded by the Government for the adoption of bia patent, so far as it applies to the conversion of the gnus in store, It appears that on the very day that Mr. Snider bres'-hed his last, the solicitor had an interview with General Peel, and he states his belief that at this meeting terms of remuneration were arranged that would have been gratifying to the inventor. Poor fellow lit is a pity he did not live to know this.  A STORY so sensational that it might form a basis for a novel, reaches us from Brussels. Risk Allah By is a native of Lebanon. As a young man he studied medicine in England, and obtained a diploma from the College of Surgeong. When the Russian war broke out he entered the army of the Sultan of Turkey. On the termination of the conflict he returned to England as medical attaché to the Ottoman Embassy. In this capacity he was introduced into good society, and finally married an English widow in the happy possession of £25,000. She soon afterwards died, leaving her husband four-fifths of her property, the remaining £5,000 being left to a natural son named George Readly, whose history is rather remarkable. Suffice it to say, however, that the boy passed as the nephew of Risk Allah Bey, and whilst the two were staying at Antwerp, the young man, having nearly completed his minority, was found dead in his bed. A loaded fowling-piece, which had evidently been discharged within a very short period, woe lying at his aide; whilst on the table there was a piece of paper containing the wordy, in the handwriting of the deceased, "I have done it." There was another circumstance which favoured the idea of suicide—a disappointed love affair, and a letter to his sweetheart was introduced as evidence, in which were the words, "There are many ways of finding an honourable death." On the other hand, the position of the body was such as to render it hard to imigine that he could have committed auicide. Shortly before the fatal day the Bey had insured the young man's life for £1,000; Bo that on his death bl,ooo was hanging. Risk Allah Bey was at first acquitted of any blame in accelerating the young man's death. It was not then known that any benefit would be derived from his decease, but since that period WA( Allah has been accused of forgery, alio n new facts conflicted with the young man's death were elicited, and which has led to the charge of murder. The case lia,s created immense Inter' st, and tho trial is likely to last over a considerable period.  Tits Free Trade-hall, at Manchester, was occupied on Sundsy by a number of railway servants, who had been called together to consider by what means they could further, in their own case, the abort-time movement. The principal speaker was the travelling secretary of the "Rail say Working Men's Provident Sseiety," and his remarks went  to show that a change was necessary in the condition of railway eervante.  Tun Prince and Princess of Wale,s were received right royally at Norwich, on the occasion of the Mueical Festival in that city. It was hoped that their Royal 11i3hnessts would have remained some days as the guest of Lord Stafford, but in consequence ef the marriage of the Prinersi Dagmar with the heir-presumptive of the Ressian throne his Royal Highness had to depart after the first day of the opening, en route for St. Petersburg, to take part in the marriage of his sister-in-law.
