A COM i PLIMENTARY dinner has been given n London to Sir Coutts Lindsay by the Committee of the Grosvenor Gallery. The Earl of Wharncliffe took the chair. Sir Coutts Lindsay referred to the difference ef opinion which had arisen between himself and certain members of the committee, and annomiced that he intended to carry on the gallery, and he felt assured of the support of all his friends. The Duke of Rutland was present in the Peers' Gallery of the Commons' House, of which he was for so many years a member as Lord John Manners, when his eldest son, then Mr. Manners, but now Marquis of Granby. took the oath and his seat on his election for the Melton division. A titilt btiike out the other morning at Bectfoot Mills, Bingley, near Bradford, by the striking of a spark from a willeying machine into which some hard, foreign substance had fallen. The spark ignited the fibre which was in the machine, and there being much inflammable material close by the flames quickly spread. The workmen threw some water on the fire, hut without effect, and they only had time to make their escape., The Keighley Fire Brigade did not arrive until 40 minutes after the outbreak, and before the fire was extinguished damage was done to the extent of £3OOO. %Avis COMPOUND Pawnee of Linseed, Aniseed, Senega, Tam, As, with Chlorodyne, Bid., I. lid., 2. 90., AS. SPBAKIHO at Acton, Mr. Ilerbert Gladstone, M.P., severely criticised some of the details of the Local Government Bill, but remarked that it had one great redeeming feature, which must be worked for the advatitage of the people; it would establish county government on the broadest possible basis. The Tories feared the subject, but their object was to escape from the Irish question, which they feared wAr•  • A 'TEACFEtt. At the last meeting of the London School Board, the Rev. J. Diggle presiding, the question of the recent painful suicide, of Mr. &Warlock, one of the Board's teachers, was introduced by Mr. Phillipe. He asked the chairman of the School Management Committee Did not Mr. Silverlock enter the service with excellent testimonials, both as student and teacher? Mr. Diggle : I have to reply to that question that I presume the testimonials were satisfactory to the School Management Committee at the date when he was appointed. Mr. Phillips : Did not his class pass a good examination? Mr. Diggle : That is a question that ought to be addressed to the examiners of his class. Ma Phillips Was not his certificate refused by Mr. Dibben, the inspector, solely because he said the boys, by asking questions, lacked discipline ? Mr. Diggle : That question ought to be addressed to Mr. Dibben. Mr. Phillips Did not the managers, to whom the matter was referred by the School Management Committee, strongly recommend, supported by the headmaster, that Mr. Silverlock should have another years trial, to enable him to get his parchment? Sir. Diggle: The facts in the question do not accurately represent the ease. Mr. Phillips: Was it also known that his sister was laid up with rheumatic fever, and that he was the sole support of an aged father? Mr. niggle: We have no knowledge of these facts. Mr. Phillips: Did the School Management Committee, in the face of this recommendation of headmaster and managers, come to the harsh conclusion that Mr. Silverlock must resign? Mr. Diggle I think I shall consult the dignity of the School Management Committee by declining to answer the question, which would assume that the committee would do anything that would entice one of their servants to commit suicide.
