The following is a copy of a circular re- ceived by a number of Halifax liquor deal- ers. It explains itself :

Hatirax, Juue 9, 1884,

Dear Str,—The prosecutions against the members of the licensed victuallers asso- ciation of Halifax are being vigorously pushed by the inspector and his attornies, and we have used every available defense at the trials, and have completed some five or six appeals to the supreme court, and are daily preparing the other appeals as the cases are concluded in the court. The costs in the supreme court will be somewhat heavy, and the labor is becoming extensive. From the expressed opinion of the judge before whom we argue the appeals on iaw points, we confidently anticipate a favorable result. Al- though five appeals have now been taken, and some six or seven are now before the court for trial, we have as yet received nothing, and must now ask that the subscriptions be com- een anda payment made as soon as pos- sible.

Certain Russian naturalists claim te have made a discovery in reference to the epilobium plant which may revolutionize the cotton trade of Europe. The epilobium which is more properly known as the ‘willow herb,” from the shape of its leaves, has hitherto been cultivated solely for its flower, which grows from the top of the pod. The Russian savants now claim that this pod can be made to yield a fibre possessing many of the valuable qualities of cotton fibre. In the ex- periments already made the fibre hat been ginned, spun and woven successfully on a small scale. An economic society in St. Petersburg has now petitioned the czar to set aside some state lands for the scientific cultivation of epilobium and the continua- iion of the experiments for improving the fibre. It is claimed by some enthusiasts that the results of this discovery will be in time to avert the necessity for the importa- tion of cotton into Russia.

A biographical and critical paper will appear in the July Manhattan on the Earl of Dufferin, written by J. L.

A Paris despatch says that the Irish- American dynamiters in Paris have decided to act independently of James Stephens, ex-Fenian Head Centre; and that they will hold a secret congress next week to discuss the fusion of the extreme sections of the party.

The Mark-Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says : ‘*Welcome and timely rains have ended the drought. The condition of all the Spring- sown grain is materially improved.

The novelists are busy with the fame of Shakespeare. Wiiliam Black is adding the closing chapters to his striking romance of Judith Shakespeare,—a story which deals in a pleasant way with the loves of the im- mortal bard—and now we fiad it announced that James Payn has a new tale in readiness which is to treat of another epoch in the life of the poet of Avon. The latter is en-

titled ‘The Talk of the Town,” and is founded upon the events attending the preduction and

ultimate detection and exposure of Ireland’s Shakesperian forgerics. The theme is an interesting one. Our readers wiil remem- ber the Ireland fraud. William Henry Ireland was a miscellaneous writer of good average abilities, who flourished a little lesa than a century ago. He published many poems, novels and dramas, which in their day attracted some attention, but no one reads them now. He will be remem- bered only as a literary forger. He produced a legal deed, ‘“‘A Confession of Faith,” several Letters to Lord Southamp- ton, and finally a complete tragedy entitled Vortigern, which he said he had discovered and were in the handwriting of Shake- speare. These created a great noise in England, and such lite experts as Chalmers, Parr and Pinkerton were promptly deceived. Malone was the only Shakesperian scholar of the time, who re- fused to be imposed upon. He always averred that the manuscripts were forger- ies, but he was alune in his view for a a time. Even the actors were deceived,

“*Voltigern” was acted on the stege on the 2nd of April, 1796, with the famous John Kemble as the hero, and the charming Mrs. Jordan as *‘Rowena.” Ireland kept up the deception as long as he could, but eventually he was compelled to proclaim the cheat, first ina book called ‘“‘The Auth- entice Account of the Shakespearian Manu- cripts (1796), and afterwards in his “‘Con- fession” (1805). In 1796, his father, too was compelled to write a Vindication of himself from complicity in his son’s forgeries. Mr. Payn’s story, as our readers will see, pro mises to be highly entertaining. Among the characters to be introduced will be

many of the yreat actors and actresses of

He was a Uni- the time of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. ‘The scene, of course, will be laid at Strat- ford-on-Avou.
