MISCELLANEOUS, Consumption was the disease which caused the death of Mazzini. Prince Arthur has signified his intension of opening the Royal Horticultural Society's Show at Aston Park, Birmingham, in June next. It is stated that Major Stapylton, of Myton Hall. Helperby, near Tliirsk, will be the Liberal candidate for Thirsk at the next election. At Nottingham, on Saturday, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Morley, M.P. for Bristol, and property to the amount of jE10,000 was destroyed. The death is announced of Major Chidley Dowries Coote, formerly 52nd Light Infantry, and the youngest son of the late Sir Charles Coote, Bart. Mr. A. Pearson Longbottom, of Pall-mall, Lon- don. has been appointed government Agent in Europe for Colorado. Mr. Disraeli, it is said, desired to make one address only, on his forthcoming visit to Lancashire, and it was therefore decided that the city of Manchester, being the central point, should be the place of assembly. Another distinguished minister of the strict Bap- tist community, the Rev. James Wells, minister of Surrey Tabernacle, has just died. Mr. Wells had been forty- two years in the Baptist ministry, and his congregation was the largest belonging to that body of religionists. The Memorial Diplomatique, contradicts the re- ports that have been in circulation respecting the ap- proaching departure of the Pope from Rome. It says that the mistake arose from some misinterpretation of a remark of the Pope at a recent interview. It is is said that the Russian Government have informed the Berlin Cabinet of their desire for the evacua- tion of the French territory by the German troops, and that Bismarck has agreed to further their wishes so far as possible. The Surrey Advertiser says it is generally under- stood among Mr. Guildford Onslow's supporters that he will not again contest the representation of Guildford, and there are rumours that there will be an immediate vacancy. It is currently understood that the Government are disposed to send a representative to Vienna to attend tlie Cattle Plague Conference about to bt) held in that city. The object of the:conference is to prevent the spread of the cattle plague. From the last Indian mail it appears that six young Africans, who have been educated at the Saharanpur Orphanage, near Bombay, have volunteered to join tbe expedition in search of Dr. Livingstone, and have sailed for Zanzibar. The Oxford and Cambridge athletic sports will take place at Lillie Bridge, West Brompton, on Friday, March 22nd, when the following events will be decided:—High Jump, Long Jump, Putting the Stone, Throwing the Ham- mer, 100 yards race, t mile race,* mile race, 3 miles race, and Hurdle race. A Windsor correspondent says that Archibald Brown, brother of John Brown, her Majesty's personal attendant, was married at Windsor parish church, to a young lady named Johns. The bridegroom is Prince Leopold's personal attendant. There was an immense con- gregation in the church. The Consul-General of the United States has received reports from all the Consuls in the United KingdolD.each shewing the amoun+ contri1 M in his own consular district for the relief the >¡LcIS by the Chi capo and Forest fires. The sum'total amounts to £ l<:2;3Holls. On Sunday the Lord Mayor received a telegram from the Mayor and Council of Demerara, tendering to his Lordship and the Corporation of London their con- gratulations on the completion of the cable communication between Dcmcrara and the mother country. The telegram was dated the 8th instant. The new Viceroy of India has accepted an Invitation from the Mayor of Portsmouth to a banquet to he given in his honour previous to his departure from this country for India, and has named Monday next, the 18th instant, as the day on which he can visit Ports- mouth. It is stated that the United States Government has resolved to present its counter Case. in reply to the British Case, to the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva, on the loth of April, and to insist on the Tribunal proceeding with the Arbitration regardless of the protests or with- drawal of Great Britain. It is now stated, in addition to what was recently announccll with regard to Sir Stafford Noithcote's position in the matter of the Washington Treaty, that the right hon. baronet was appointed one of the High Joint Com- missioners not on political grounds, but because of his ex- perience in connection with the affairs of the Hudson'sBay Company. Her Majesty's paddle-yacht Victoria and Albert is ordered to be completed in every respect at Ports- mouth and made ready to embark her Majesty for con- veyance to a continental port by tho 23rd instant, on tho occasion of her Majesty's visit to Germany. Cherbourg li;is been named as the port that will probably be se- lected for the disembarkation of her Majesty from the yacht. Mr. Stafford Allen, an old member of the com- mittee of the Anti-Slavery Society, and known to many persons as having continued the educational labours of his uncle, the late William Allen (the coadjutor of Joseph Lancaster), for the promotion of the British School system, is a candidate for the seat on the London School Board for the Finsbury division, vacnnt by the retirement of Mr. Torrens. Like his uncle, Mr. Stafford Allen is a member of the Society of Friends, a body as yet unrepresented on the London Board. ITALY AXD FRANCE.—It was reported that the Italian Government intended to send M. Minghetti on an extraordinary mission to the Versailles Cabinet, and reflec- tions were made on the unfriendly character of the trans- action. because that Deputy was a partisan of the Italio- German alliance.. It is now denied that M. Minghetti is to proceed to France at all, and he is declared to be too useful to be spared. In his capacity as reporter of the Financial Commission, he will take an important part in the debates of the Chamber of Deputies. EARTHQUAKES IN GERMANY.—A German paper says with respect to the earthquakes that have been felt in many towii9 in the North of Germany, tho shock was so great in Berlin that in many streets the furniture was shaken out, of its place, and the clocks stopped. At Weimar thcro was a general cracking heard in many houses, and several windows were broken, while subterranean noises were h..a rd as on the arrival of a railway engine. The same phenomena yero observed in Gotha, Leipsic, and other tuwns. THE ANOLO-FKENCII TREATY.—The Fmncais lavs that the foreign Powers who have commercial treaties with France are determined to hold her to the letter of the law, and will agree to no modification. Mr. Gladstone and Lord Granville have expressed themselves unequivo- cally with respect to England. The Belgian, Swiss, and Italian Governments have adopted the same course. This. is the more important as so long as any Commercial Treaty remains in force France is bound to place the whole German ompire on the same footing. Consequently the power of imposing taxes is greatly restricted. The Paris correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says:—Tlie French Government has been informed from London that the only modification proposed in the Treaty is a slight increase on cotton yarns above No. 60. Many chambers of commcrce have asked M. Thiers for information ahont new tariffs. He has answered that England, having refused all propositina, a last one was going to be made. If it should DO refused, the Treaty will be denounced. Italy and Austria have sent strong remonstrances to 1\1. Thicrs about the Treaties and the new taxes adopted; and an active correspondence is going on between those Governments and the Government of France on thc subject. THE NEW M.P.'S.—Mr. Edward Wells, of Wallingford, who was returned to Parliament on Saturday as M.P. for Wallingford in tho Conservative interest, in the place of the late Mr. Stanley Vickers, is a son of the late Mr. Edward Wells, of Wallingford, and was born in 1821. He is a banker and brewer, and also an alderman of that town, with which his family have been connected for upwards of a century and a half. Mr. Wells is married to a nieco of the late Alderman Sir Matthew Wood, M.P. Mr. John Reginald Yorke, of Forthampton, who was on Monday returned to Parliament ia the Conservative interest ns M.P. for East Gloucestershire, in the room of Mr. G. S. Holford, who has accepted tùe Chiltern Hundreds, is the only son of Mr. Joseph Yorke, of Forthampton, a magistrate and l»to High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, by Frances Antonia, daughter of the late Right Hon. Reginald Polc-Carew. He was born in 1836, and was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford. He is a deputy-lieutenant for Worces- tershire, and sat in the last Parliament as member for Tcwkesbury, for which he was first elected in 18(54. His father, Mr. Joseph Yorke, is a great grandson of Philip, first Earl of Hardwicke, who was Lord Chancellor in the reign of George II. PROMOTION BY MERIT IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. —In these dayft of boasted competitive examination and promotion by merit," it is, no doubt, generally supposed tbat. the appointments made in government ollices arc ahove criticism, and that when a young man enters what is called 4. Mie civil service" he ill as sure to rise in proportion to his abi lty and assiduity as the sun is to rise in the morning. Such. however, is not always the case. Numerous instances might be referred toin which the most unfair favouritism lias ■been manifested by the heads of departments, and especially by those who have the control of the Inland Revenue. A remarkable oase has just occurred, in which a gentleman at a salary of £ 350 was offered a high-sounding berth in Ireland at a salary of JC350, rising to £ 6f>0. Being unwilling to leave England, he declined tho offer. Within the last few weeki two vacancies in a higher class in his own de- partment (salary £4(0) became vacant, upon whidl he was rnpeniedea, and others were promoted over his heaù. As not the shadow of an objection could be urged against either his competency or his ability, tho only inference to be drawn from this unfair treatment is that it was desired to get him out of the way. The fact is, promotion in Government offices at the present Jtijr -can only bo obtained by favour. It is in tho hands of a few of the superior officials. and the way in which it is frequently dispensed, so far from advancing the interests of tho service, gives rise to a degree of indifference on the part of those who watch it which prevents anything like emulative industry or voluntary exertion, and induces in the minds of men of real ability and honesty a positive disgust for the service.—Standard, A subscription list h:1..s been opened in Kerry, and largely signed, to meet the expenses of Mr. Blenner- hassett in defending the Election petition lodged against him. A largely-attended meeting of delegates from the principal Republican societies in London and ot rrcnch refugees (including several ex-members of the Commune), oonvened by a«ub-committee of the International _>V orking Men's Association, has just taken place at a. house in Tottenham-court-road (a club-room of the refugees), to make arrangements for celebrating the first anniversary of the Insurrection in Paris on the 18th March, in St. George s Hall, Langham-place. Citizen H. F. Jung, a Swiss, pre- sided, and announced that several of the German, Polish- and Italian Republican Societies had promised their co. ##>ei»ti0O. Of* f-

M'Caul, Honorary Canon of Rochester, has In the press Sunday Reflections on Current Topics." Mr. Watts has made great progress with the diploma picture, intended for presentation to the Royal Academy. It puts to shame the productions which have, on certain Occasions, been given by members. The same artist is far advanced with a capital portrait of Mr. Calderon, one of a series which will be valuable in the future. A portrait of Mr. Yal. Prinsep is in hand. Mr. Watts will contribute to the London International Exhibition his picture of > Daphne," on which he has been working for some time, imd with great felicity. Mr. E. L. Blanchard is writing an original poetical masque, entitled, A Legend of the Spring, or the Victory Dr the Sunbeam," to be produced with appropriate music, new scenery, kc., on the Crystal Palace great stage at Easter.

Mr. Dion Boucicault, whose designs in the transforma- tion of Covent-garden have already been mentioned, will produce as his opening piece Sardou and Offenbach's "Roi Parrotte." done into English by Mr. Boucicault. The scenery and dresses will be an exact reproduction of those used in Paris. The Emperor Napoleon has sent a handsome subscription to the fund now being raised for the family of the late Mr. H. W. Baraett, for many years known as a London newspaper editor. The statement that M. Gounod is at present in a lunatic p.sylum is contradicted. The well-known composer is on a visit to a friend in London, and has been confined to the house for some days with a severe cold only, which is now fnuch better. Barrow-in-Furness has recovered from the effect of being overbuilt by speculators, and is shewing signs of legitimate activity in building operations. The engineers of the docks are engaged upon plans for providing considerable additional dock accommodation to meet the requirements of a new line of ocean steamships for the North American trade. Contracts for six of these vessels of 4,000 tons each have been undertaken in Barrow; consequently, the re- quired docks must soon bo commenced. M. Paul Abadie, architect, who, amongst other works, has restored the cathedrals of Bordeaux, Angouleme, and. Periguoux, has been nominated by the Minister of Public Instruction and the Beaux Arts to the important post of Inspector-General of Ecclesiastical Edifices, in the room of JI. Leon Vaudoycr, deceased. The duties of this office are very important in an artistic point of view, and M. A.badie'3 name seems to be well received. The Prince of Wales, ill causing an answer to be for- warded to an fitltlress from the theatrical managers and Il,ctors, congratulating him on his recovery, expresses the warmest interest in the drama, and signifies that it will dlwavs be his endeavour to promote its success. Mrs. William Grey is about proceeding to Yorkshire to advocate the cause of the National Union for Improving the Education of Women of all Classes" at meetings to be held in the great manufacturing centres of the county. The first meeting will be held at Halifax on Monday next, the 11th inst.

There is a report that Sir Alexander Cockburn is anxious to retire from thc Chief Justiceship, so soon as he can take that step without injury to public business. The Wth will be the anniversary of the birthday of the Prince Imperial, and will be kept with some festivity at Chislchurst. The health and strength of the Prince have Materially improved since his sojourn in England. The Atlantic JToiithlu for March contains a new poem by Mr. Longfellow, entitled "The Baron of Saint Castine." It recounts in melodious rhyme the story of a young baron, who went away from his chateau in the Pyrenees, sailed cro^s the Western seas, awl married an Indian maiden, a ilaughter of tho chief of the Tarratines, whom he after- wards brings home to his old chateau in Gascony. There is also a rhymed story by Whittier. entitled King Yolmer tnd Ehie," after the Danish of Christian Winter. )Jr. Wilkie Collins has dedicated his new work, "Poor Miss Finch." to Mrs. Elliott, the wife of the Dean of Bristol, II in remembrance of an uninterrupted friendship of many years."

Mr. Herman Vezin and Miss Ada Cavendish are specially engaged for I he piece.—A new drama by Mr. Charles Reade will soon he produced at the Gaiety Theatre.

MR. ATTBERON HERBERT ON DENOMINATIONAL PnrrATKix.—Mr. Auberon Herbert writes to the Times to rxplain the meaning of some phrases he used in the House fn Denominational Education. He thinks that secular teaching is insufficient to develope the higher nature, but disapproves of the ordinary manner of religious teaching. fie holds that we should rather lead a child to inquire than to believe, and to form his own judgments rather than accept those of his parents and teachers. The ftfcct of placing religious teaching under School poards would be fatal to all mental activity, fjvery body of opinion deteriorates without compe- tition, and School Boards would protect religious teaching. Mr. Herbert, who denies the inspiration of the Hible. naturally objects to its being read in the schools, though he professes a respect for it. He does not tell us whether the precocious chihlren trained under his system Fe to be allowed to "form their own judgments on the weighty question of school versus play. THE PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS, &C.—The fol- lowing Parliamentary papers have been issued:—Returns pf Inland Revenue prosecutions for the year ended 31st of JIarch, 1871, ô,S93 in all; and the seventh report on Public petitions. The unrlermentioned bills have also been printed:- The Grand Jury Presentment (Ireland) Bill, indorsed by the Marquis of Hartington and the Attorney- general for Ireland, and amending the law relating to the presentment of public money by Grand ,Turies in Ireland; the Albert and European Life Assurance Companies (Inquiry) Bill, for the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry into the failure of those Com- panies a bill to provide for the payment of wages without ftoppages in the hosiery manufacture, brought in by Mr. Pell, Mr. Wheelhouse, Mr. Joshua Fielden, Lord John Manners, and Mr. C. Forster; a bill relating to the Oyster and Mussel Fisheries at Greenwich and Lynn Deeps; a bill to provide for the protection of wild fowl during the breeding season, signed by Mr. Andrew Johnston, Colonel Tomline, and Mr. Brown; [1,nd a bill to amend the laws relating to Municipal Cor- porations in Ireland, as regards the elections to the town council, and in other respects, prepared and brought in by Mr. Sherlock, Mr. William Johnston, and Mr. M'Clure. THE POSSIBLE SONTIIAL INSURRECTION.—Any rumour of insurrection in India just now excites attention, p,nd the rumour of a coming movement among the Sonthals, piven in the Timet, is accompanied by details, which make Indians believe thnt it may be well foun({ell. It is well known that the last insurrection of this tribe, which is powerful because it lies stretched through the jungles near iBhaugulpore, right across the East Indian Railway, was paused solely by anger at the exactions of the native money (driers, who for a time were batllod by a statute limiting their power of recovering debts. They have however re- covered their hold on the people. Easy, good-tempered, riven to drink, and utterly without foresight, the Sontbal )s no match in the war of accounts for the Bengalee and It is very probable indeed that he has threatened to chop lip his enemy, and that about the middle of April he will fxecute his threat. The Government, however reluctant, will be compellerl to defend its capitalists, to move troops, [tnd to enter into a tedious and, it may be. expensive jungle war. All this we say is probable, but nevertheless there is po ground for any serious alarm. Politically, the Sonthals, though brayc men, ht"e never been formidable—their arms being of the roughest kind, and thcir movements confined to the jungles and the hills; and their country is now pierced by a railway, which will carry troops thither in bvelve hours. The railway itself can be easily protected, twl with three thousand men stationed for a month or two in the province—which is not under the law, but under the llirect administration of the Commissioner-nothing more serious than riots antI the flight of a few wealthy men need be dreaded, whilc Government is examining grievances, pud preparing once wore some exceptional legislation. This time it will probably try to moderate the extravagance of the Sonthals, and the rapacity of the money-lenders, by rbolishing process for the recovery of debt altogether, or limiting it to contracts read and explained in the presence í)f a Government official. A few roads will have to be cut, It few stations fortified at some little expense but there and ought, after the warnings received, to be no serious danger even to the prosperity of the East India Railway Com- pany.—Economist. The Swiss Times says that the death of the dis- tinguished sculptor Urs Joseph Sesseli is announced. He has succumed to an attack of apoplexy, at Oensingen, in the 75th year of his age.

THE MURDER OF LORD MAYO. The Indian papers, and numerous special letters to tha home journals, which arrived with the last mail, contain graphic accounts of the assassination of the late Viceroy of India, and of the impression the terrible event produced in the empire. An officer on board H.M.S. Glasgow writes as follows to a contemporary; his letter is dated from the Andaman Islands, February 9th:—" I can hardly describe to you our horror when we came alongside yesterday evening to find in our steam launch the murdered corpse of Lord Mayo, life just extinct. Lord Mayo landed yesterday forenoon, and was received by a strong guard which accompanied him throughout the day; he came off to htnehoon at one o'clock, and the last words that I heard him speak were to tell the captain that he hoped he would not trouble the officers to come on deck any more for him when he came on board. After luncheon he went ashore again to visit the garrison and inspect the convict prison. In the evening, about five o'clock, Lady Mayo being eager about fishing, we got up a party and went ashore in two boats, Lady Mayo following with the captain in the barge. We had tolerable luck, and Lady Mayo was delighted with some of the fish that were caught, and hoped they might have some for dinner that evening. She left us about half-past six. All the rest came to our knowledge after- wards. It appears that Lord Mayo, accompanied by General'Stewart. Major Burne (Private Secretary), Colonel Jervois, and Captain Lockwood (A.D.C.) visited the convict prison at Chatham Island. They seemed to have thought it rather a dangerous place, for all the guards were doubled, and Captain L, had his sword drawn in his hand all day As the prison was first instituted for the prisoners of the lllutiny, one can easily imagine that there would be good reason for every precaution being taken. They 1 ad finished their inspection and were returning to the boats (7 p.m.) tired, dusty, and hungry, no doubt glad of the prospect of being soon off to dinner. All their day's work finished, they seem to have relaxed their caution, and were rather scattered from about Lord Mayo's person, although he was still surrounded by guards. The night was dark, but lit up by torches, and they had walked down to the pier and were about fifty yards from where the boat lay at the end of the pier. Suddenly there was a rush m:1.de-in the confusion some of the torches went out-two man, natives and convicts, glided through the guard, and reached Lord Mayo. He fell stabbed in the back in two places, and rolled down the bank into the water mor- tally wounded. Everyone, alas! that it was too late, rushed to his assistance. He was carried up the bank, and the blue j:1.cketR of the launch conveyed him down to the boat. Immediately they got Lord Mayo into the boat they cut his coat and waistcoat off, and bound up his wounds; but. the blood flowed fast, and internal haemorrhage hastened the end. He expired in agony just before the boat came alongside. The only words that he uttered after he was struck, when they were lifting him out of the water, were I don't think I am much hurt;' and just before the end, 'Lift up my head.' The wounds, which the doctors say are from the same knife, were both struck from behind; one below the shoulder blade on the right of the spine pene- trated the liver; the other, on the left shoulder, pierced tho lungs through and through. Either was a mortal wound. The knife with which he was stabbed is made of one piece of iron, a very rough weapon, though formidable in the hand of a strong man. Immediately they were alongside, Major Burne rushed up to break the news to Lady Mayo before she should hear it at other hands, poor thing. He says she bore up very bravely, though how should she realise it yet ? The murderer was brought up immediately after the corpse, strongly guarded. When I saw him, he was thrown on his back on a grating lashed down by his elbows and knees, doubly handcuffed and ironed, with four sentries with loaded rifles guarding him; so anxious were they lest the villain should escape the grip of justice. Anything more awful than the deep quiet that reigned throughout the ship I haoe never experienced. Although over 600 souls were on board there was not a sound that the ear could catch. Every one's voice sank to the lowest whisper, and hardly seemed to draw breath—so oppressive was the death-like calm that existed everywhere. No one has se.^n Lady Mayo this morning. A cast was taken of the features last night. This morning a court of inquiry was held on the prisoner before Mr. Ellis (member of council), Mr. Ashlcy Eden, and others. The murderer's name is Shere Ali, a native of the Kyber Pass, on the borders of Affghanistan. He was committed for murder two years ago, and sentenced to imprisonment for life. A Mussul- man and a fanatic, when asked for his reason, he said that 'God had ordered him to kill the enemy of his country,' that he bad no associate in his crime, but that God was his Sliurricf.' He is of middle height, brownish com- plexion, brown beard, and not at all a bad face, as far as one can judge—at least he does not convey the idea of a criminal. I have just come down from the Court of Inquiry since writing my last sentence, and have been listening to the evidence. His manner is perfectly easy and free from fear, though be will scarce sec the sun rise twice again. The way in which he glories in the act with his harsh triumphant laugh is revolting to a degree. Hanging is a thousand times too good for him. In his case it is a pity that the faggot has gone out of fashion. The ship is all in mourn- ing to day the broad white stripe, a dull grey, the yards 1ianr:in<r topped different ways, all the ropes slack and in bights, flags half-mast, and everything bearing the most mournful aspect. I am so out of spirits that I cannot send yon a description of our very pIe:1sant cruise to Rangoon and Moulmein. Our principal host is taken; we had all got to like him so much; he would come and chat with us on watch just like one of ourselves." The Bombay Gazette, which, with all the other papers appeared on February 19th, with black-edged columns, says the terrible news was known in England sooner than in most of the great cities of India. The Government had taken possession of the telegraph wires, and it was only through the accident of the Hon. Mr. Bourke, M.P., Lord Mayo's brother, being in Bombay on his way home by the mail steamer which left that day that we learnt here (Bombay) the same evening particulars of the Viceroy's tragic fate. Mr. Bourke was actu:111y on board the steamer, which was on the point of starting, when a messenger from Government House overtook him with a telegram informing him of what had happened, and of Lady Mayo's wish that he shoulJ return immediately to Calcutta. The na- ture of the message Mr. Bourke had received could not be kept secret." The same paper has the following:—We have said that the mass of the people in all parts of India are peaceably disposed; and, though bad characters may be found everywhere, there can be no doubt of the sincerity and earnestness of the loyalty which the native inhabitants of Bombay, headed by Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, assembled in the Town Hall to give utterance to on Saturday last." The Gazette, in other columns, gives full reports of the speeches delivered at the meeting to express condolence together with accounts from all the larger towns and articles from the principal Indian news- papers, shewing how profound and widespread was the grief caused by the murder of a Viceroy who was more generally beloved than probably any one of his predecessors. Immediately after the assassination was made known, the Government of India issued an Extraordinary Gazette, giving particulars, and a proclamation of which the following is an extract The Government of India announces, with inexpressible grief, that the Viccroy and Governor-General of India was assassinated at Port Blair at 7 p.m on the 8th instant. The assassin was a convict under sentence of transportation for life. He broke through the guard and stabbed the Viceroy, as his Excel- lency was on the point of embarking, after inspecting the station. The country has lost a statesman who discharged the highest duties which her Majesty can entrust to any of her subjects with entire self-devotion, and with abilities equal to the task. Those who were hon- oured by the Earl of Mayo's friendship, and especially those whose pride it was to be associated with him in public affairs, have sustained a loss of which they cannot trust themselves to speak. The Government of India there- fore abstains at present from saying anything on this great calamity. His Excellency in Council directs that forty-nine minute guns be fired from the saluting battery at sunrise to-morrow, and that the same mark of respect be shewn at every principal military station in this Presi- dency on receipt of this proclamation. Mourning will be worn by the officers of her Majesty's Civil, Military and Marine Services, and the Governor in Conncil trusts that all classes will shew their sense of the public loss in the same manner." The Calcutta Englishman says:—Some of the last words of the Viceroy will interest his many personal friends and the much larger number of those who, though they knew him only by sight, admired the genial face and open, honest expression of the man. Up to the end he was always thoughtful of others and considerate of their feelings. Before ascending the hill, a little more than an hour before his death, noticing that the aide-de-camp, who was then in attendance upon him, was tired, as were most of the party, he turned to him and told him he had better stay at the foot of the hill until the party returned. Again, while going up on the only available pony, he evidently did not like riding, while everyone else was walking, so he got off saying in a pleasant manner, 111 walk now-one of you get on the pony!" We are not surprised to hear that at the trial on board the Glasgow more than one statesman was unable to give evidence without almost breaking down with emotion. The Tunes correspondent at Calcutta writes home as follows:—The sad news of the assassination arrived in Calcutta on the 12th, in cipher. Major Bourke, brother of the Viceroy, on receiving the telegram, took it to the office of his Excellency's private secretary, and in the usual way asked the confidential clerk to put it into intelligible language, deeming the mes- sago an ordinary confidential communication. I need not say anything of what followed, but the story was pitiful as told. I think I may, without any breach of delicacy, state—indeed, I think Major Bourke would wish me to repeat—one remark that fell from him. He said, 'My brother had the greatest possible antipathy to guards, and during all our tours I had to take measures privately for the protection of his person." He frequently said, "If they have resolved to kill me, they care nothing for their own lives, and they will do it in spite of guards." Major Bourko added, It was no fatalism, or anything like it, but simply a conviction that the wily assassin could take his measures in so many different ways, and for so many different eventualities, that guards were useless." The same correspondent gives an extract from Major Burne's diary. This officer, the military secretary of the Viceroy, after saying that everything appeared to be safe for Lord Mayo's journey back to the ship, adds: Suddenly a rushing noise was heard, and a man was seen fastened like a tiger on the Viceroy's back. The whole occurrence was momen- tary, and took place in almost total darkness. The assassin, who was a tall, muscular Khyberee Afreedee, seemed to have the Viceroy in porno manner immovab17 in .;1. v. his grasp, and inflicted the wound so inatantanedttsty as not to give him time to turn round and de- fend himself. The whole party rushed on the assassin. and instantly secured him; alas! not till he had inflicted two mortal wounds. The Viceroy ran a few paces forward, turned to his left, and fell over the pier into some shallow water. I left the assassin, and immediately ran to his ex- cellency's help while struggling in the water, and assisted him out. After conveying him to the steam launch, they made all haste to get to the Glasgow. It was a dreadful 20 minutes of agony for all present. Although none of the party could at the moment form any idea of the nature of the wounds, they saw a marked and alarming change come over his face after they had lifted him into the boat. Mr. Hawkins, Captain Lockwood, and Major General Stewart supported the Viceroy's head, while I assisted the jemadar, rubbed his legs, and endeavoured to keep up warmth. Others watched the wounds in order to stop further flow of blood, while all eagerly urged the Bailors to press on with haste to the ship. Every moment was of value. We all imagined that the Viceroy had fainted from loss of blood, and we would have given our lives for a little brandy for him. But during these dreadful moments, on nearing the ship, Major-General Stewart turned to me, shook his head, and said,' I fear the worst,' The Viceroy's face had changed, but none of us thought he had actually breathed his last. He had not given one sigh or expression of pain from first to lest, but he must have expired at the moment of Major-General Stewart's exclamation. The assassin was brought ou board the Glasgow the same night, half insensible from the blows he had received. He was placed under a guard of Marines. He acknowledged being a Mussul- man Pathan from beyond Peshawur, that his name was Shere Ali, and bhat he had done the deed by the order of God.' He declared that he had no associate in the crime, but that God was his Shurrelf, or partner. The whole of the following day, the 9th, was occupied in the examination of witnesses by the Deputy Superintendent, and the trial of the assassin by Major-General Stewart. On being called upon for his defence at the trial the assassin stated that he had nothing to say further than that the Judge had heard the evidence and might decide as he wished. The prisoner, addressing Major-General Stewart, added:—'You have made the inquiry, and know all about it. When asked last night whether I committed the deed I said, God knows. In the next world the account will be made up and you will then know.' The prisoner was also understood to say that he would not make any further statement at present, as he did not wish to appear to escape hanging, or to beg for his life, but that on the day of his execution he would make a statement to the Superinten- dent, if present, or to the hangman. The prisoner appears to have known that the Viceroy was coming, and, it is said, feasted the Hindoos and Mussulmans some days before- hand for some unknown reason. The fullest inquiry was going on when the party left Port Blair." Of Major Burne personally the limes' correspondent writes.-—He (Major Burne) held a relation to the lato Viceroy which gives to his words an especial value, and as he leaves for England with Lady Mayo, and possibly closes for a while his Indian career, it is not an inopportune time to state what that relation really has been. Major Burne came to India in 1857, and was through the whole of the Mutiny and in some of the fiercest actions in the Central Provinces and the North-West, and was highly dis- tinguished. He was selected freely, and without even knowledge of the intention, as Military Secretary by Lord Strathnairn (then Sir Hugh Rose), and afterwards was selected in the same way to be the late Viceroy's Private Secretary. I shall express a feeling so general in India that I feel as if I were about to write a mere platitude when I say that no one who has held the delicate and im- portant office of Private Secretary to a Governor-General of India ever entered more thoroughly and devotedly into the mind and objects of his chief than Major Burne entered into those of Lord Mayo, and no Private Secretary ever possessed in a more eminent degree the happy art of smoothing down difficulties from the thorny path of an Indian Governor-General, and no one who did so much ever managed to be himself seen so little." The late Viceroy's remains left the Islands for Calcutta on board her Majesty's ship Glasgow, arriving there on Saturday, the 17th inst. The funeral procession to Govern- ment House from Garden Reach was most impressive.

THE MURDER OF BISHOP PATTESON. THE NAVAL REPRISAL. At the conclusion of a meeting held at Oxford to do honour to the memory of Bishop Patteson, some strong observations were made respecting the shelling of Nupaku, the place where the Bishop was killed, by her Majesty's ship Rosario. The Bishop of Oxford presided, and amongst the speakers were the Bishop of Lichfield, the Right Hon, Gathorne Hardy, Bishop Abrahams, and Professor Palmer. It was decided to do honour to the memory of Bishop Patteson by raising a fund to meet the annual expenses of the mission, estimated at £ 5,000.—Bishop Abrahams moved a resolution affirming that the new slave trade in the Pacific calls for the prompt and effectual interference of Government. He strongly deprecated such vengance as had been taken on the natives of Nupaku by Her Majesty's ship Rosario, and said that such interference was barbarism that Bishop Patteson would have emphatically condemned.—Professor Palmer ex- pressed his strong indignation at the cruel act of shelling a village, which must have contained women and children; and characterised the reprisal as infinitely more savage and barbarous than that of which the natives had been guilty. It was a cruel act, which called for a strong and vehement protest, not only from that meeting, but throughout the kingdom. The Bishop of Oxford, in acknowliging a vote of thanks, indignantly entered his protest against the shelling of Nupaku, in which he felt sure that audience representing the University, the city, and neighbourhood in a way it was rarely represented, would unite. He had had placed in his hands a petition, signed by very many members of the University, protesting against the barbarous act, and he should have pleasure in presenting it to the House of Lords. He hoped similar petitions would flow in upon the Legislature from all parts of the kingdom, and charac- terised the reprisal as a great wrong to the memory of Bishop Patteson.

EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION. The election of a member of Parliament for East Gloucestershire in the place of Mr. Stayner Holford (resigned) took place on Monday'morning in the Shire Hall, Gloucestershire. The only candidate was Mr. J. Reginald Yorke, Conservative. About 500 electors were present in the body of the hall. After having been nominated by Mr. Sotlieron Estcourt, Mr. Yorke was girt with the sword, profuse in blue ribbons, and declared duly elected. In the course of his speech, Mr. Yorke referred to his can- didature, observing that, notwithstanding at the last election he had heard the position of the Conservative party deplored, he found the heart of the constituency of East Gloucestershire sound. He believed a reaction had set in, and would continue until there was lan<Wl a strong Conservative Government. He attributed tlie diplomatic embroil with America to the carelessness of the Government. Having condemned several measures which had been proposed and carried by the Liberal party which had reference to Ire- land, he said that Mr. Gladstone was one of those men whose very virtues were more dangerous than the vices of other men. Because, as in the Army Bill, when he took an idea into his head, even if the Lords and Commons had voted against him, he interposed with a Royal Warrant, which was an insult to both Houses. Having referred to the Collier] appointment, and the Parks Bill, he said he should vote with the Go- vernment for the maintenance of the compromise in the matter of education; and he believed the army bill intro- duced a valuablo principle. With regard to localization, he said i-ii3 L'.bcvi iugramme had been worked out, with the exception of the ballot, and in this Mr. Gladstone had become a convert to an expiring faith, and now pas- sionately embraced a corpse. The proceedings, which ex- cited little interest, were brought to a close with a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. It is probable that at the next general election the Marquis of Worcester, eldest son of the Duke of Beaufort, will come forward as a Conservative candidate in opposi- tion to Colonel Kingscote and Mr. S. S. Marling, the present Liberal representatives. His lordship was educated at Eton, is twenty-four years old, and a captain in the Royal Horso Guards.—Gloucester Journal.

CARDINAL CULLEN ON EDUCATION.-—Cardinal Cullen has issued a pastoral, in which he declares in em- phatic terms, and for the first time, not alone against mixed education, but also against compulsory education and State education. He declares both to be dangerous systems, promoted by false philosophers who wish to make experiments of new-fangled and perverse theories on the souls of children, systems which ignore. God, banish Him from their schools, neglect His revelation, promote intel- lectual pride, and exclude all safeguards and restraints necessary to control the appetites and passions of youth. Sir Arthur Guiness, Bart., who already possesses a large estate on the borders of Galway and Mayo, has within the past few days, purchased a further extent of land adjoining his own, at an expenditure of £13,900. THE VISIT OF PRINCE ARTHUR TO LIVERPOOL. —When the proposed visit of Prince Arthur to Liverpool was first announced it was stated that his Royal Highness would only be able to be present in the town one day; but our Liverpool correspondent has reason to believe that the visit of his Royal Highness will extend over fully two days, and that, in addition to patronising the fancy fair in Sefton Park on Whit Monday, he will also be present at the flower show in connection with it on the following Tuesday, and also at a grand fancy dress ball which is arranged to take place on the evening of that daxia, S^jGewge'u H»U.— H mk&teiuUwriiw* )
