| Everything, says the proverb, come to jthe man who can wait. After waiting |Many years, Mr. Charles Darwin has just |received from the University of Cambridge the hon. degree of L.L D. Mr. Darwin wa3 a graduate of Christ's College, and the honour conferred upon him by the univer- sity would have been better appreciated bad it not been so tardily bestowed.

Some light is now thrown upon the re- signation of Mr. Pierrepont, the American Minister to this country. He has been charged with the unpardonable offence of having worn, or asked leave to wear, the Manvers coat of arms. In indignantly re- pudiating the accusation, Mr, Pierrepont avers that the only arms ever painted on his carriige were his own initials in mono- gram, but that when he was the guest of Earl Manvers he rode out in the ear!’s carriage upon which, of course, that noble- man’s arms were painted. Some peopie may think that, as a matter of principle there is very little difference between a monogram and a coat of arms, but upon all these questions of aristocratic distinc- tion the hostile prejudices of “ the hon. ourable”’ Mr. Pierrepont’s fellow country. men are very strong.

During the absence of the Prince and Princess of Wales from town, the drainage of Marlborough Hov-e has been thorougu~ (y examined. Che sanitary arrangements were found to be in such a shocking condix tion that the only wonder is that the whole household was not attacked with fever. | The improvements; have been both troubie- some and expensive.

Mr. Gladstoae is determined to ascer- taip the real condition of the Irish people. In travelling from Bray to Rathdrum on Caursday, on his way to Lord Fitzwilliam’s residence at Coollatin Park, he left the first.class carriage in which his wife and friends were journeying, and got into a third<class carriage, where he had a loug conversation with one of the passengers.

The issues of the new helmets to the army has been postponed, the War Office au- thorities having discovered at the last moment that the metal screw by which the spike is attached to the crown of the helmet is insecure. These helmets cos: the Government from 63. to 8s. each. in consequenve of their introduction, the market value of busbies has gone down to zero"

Curious is the distinction made by the administrators of the law in this country between injury to persons and to property. Oo Tuesday a seamstress was charged at Westminister with stealing some curtains and other things, value £7, from the resi. dence of General Koberts, of “Myde-Park 1 terrace. Mrs. Roberts strongly recom- mended the prisoner to mercy, but Mr. Woolrych sentenced her to the full term of six months’ imprisonment, with hard labor. On Wednesday a shoemaker was tried at Sheffield for committing 4 bar- barous outrage on his wife. He had dragged the poor creature down stairs stipped her naked, and tried to torce her into an oven. Failing in this, he held ber close to the fire, turning her round “ like a piece of beef,’’ till her agonizing scream: atiracted the notice of a policeman. The magistrates bound the prisoner over to keep the peace towards his wife for six mouths, Wifes don’t count for much at Shettield.

The Ridsdale judgement has become a public scanlal. [hs Lord Chief Biron Sir Fitzroy Kelly, has not scrupled to de- clare that the Ridsdale Judgment was an ‘iniquitous one—a Judgment based not upon law but upon policy.’” A newspoper says .-—

“No repudiation has appeared of the re markable statement of ihe Lord Chief Baron with respect to the Ridsdale Judg- ment, and we observe that the Bishop of Kly, during his primary visitation, spoke ot the Public Worship Kegulation Act as a serious encroachment upon the rights o! the Church of England. This latter fact gatbers additional force from the circum stance that Bishop Woodford was one of the episcopal assessors. It would be very interesting to know what advice the Bish< opand his colleagues gave the Court: whether that advice was unanimous, and. if not, what was the view of the minority ? That at the recent matriculations for Michaelmas Term at Oxford, Keeble, the youngest college, which has already made its footing good in the schoo's and in the sports of the University, had by far the largest number of new entrances, counting 44 as against Baliol, which stood next with 35, and Exter, third with 33.’

T — NO. 153 DANGEROD US LUNATI gS. ibe Prinee Edward that the managers of

Lunatic Asyium refuse gerous

Island papers state the Charlottetown dio receive a dan. lunatic because there was no room for him, and the ej y gaoler refused to rex ceive him on the ground that the goal was for the keeping of criminals and not for the ¢ nfinement of lunatics.*This is a sad com- mentary on the conditien of that helpless

class, the insane, in Prince Edward Island. but there ix no reason to fear that some of the other Provinces of Canada are not much better off. The Government of Prince Edward Island, we believe, are erecting @ building which will furnish suf. ficient accommodation for all their insane. and then the reproach under which they have long labored, of neglecting those who have been bereft of their reason, will be removed. In this Province, while we have a fine, well managed and efficient usylum tor the care of tie insane the demanitg upon it have unfortunately outgrown its limited cepacity. It really has proper ac- commodation for not more than 200 patients, but at-present upwards of 280 lu. n tics sre confined within its walls and th’'s number is liable at any tine to be increas-~ ed. There are upwards of 800 insane people in this Province, half of whom, at least, it may be absolutely necessary to confine in a Lunatic Asylum. It is the duty of the Province to provide for the care Of these unfortunate people, and is does not seem that the maiter can be much longer deferred. Some increase in the number or size of the buildings provided for the insane of this proviace will have to be made at an early day, however uns welcome such an expenditure may be, "he province may be ill able to afford to spend money for the enlargement of the Lunatic Asylum, but we can much less af. ford to allow this most hopeless and unforr tunate class to enfter for want of proper ac- commodation for their care, treatment or cure. Our Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose humone feelings we well know, will please make note of these facts, and bring them before his colleagues.—St. John Tel.

Msx1co.— Now is the time for any young min, with a little experience in the vol. unteers and a small cypital, to emigrate to Mexico and run for President. That coun - try seems to be more unsettled tha. ever, and trouble with the Urited States Imminent. Anybody who could seize and hold the Government long enough to make a formal transfer of it to our neighs bors, would do civilization a benefit, and might find it a paying speculation.

The second week of October was disis.+ trous for castles. A few days before the tire at Inverary, the Castle of Nades in France, which cost the late Duc de Morny £100,000, was entirely destroyed by the same cause. Besides the sumptuous fur-

Victor Hugo's « History of a Crime” does not altogether delight the French radicals, and it is with fear and trembling that the timid among them have read it. The other day M.

San Francisco, Nov - 8ih.—The Secretary of State, Senos, is en route for Washington, to arrange a treaty whereby Senoa intends to be p'aced under the protection of the United States. It is reported that the British and German consuls there oppress the people, having levied $60,000 fine on them, more than $10 per head* The popu - lation on the 2ist Sept. armed a band led by Englishmen, attacked the American consulate, expelled and threatened the life of the Consul.

This is the way a Chicago reporter tejjs the storyof a murder:— ‘Don’t shove,’ that’s what John Holm, an old Swede fifty - four years of age, full of beer, told John Nelson, a young Swede twenty-two years of age, also full of beer, in front of No, 46 Wesson street at 7.30 o'clock. But Nel- son did shove in spite of the admonition The result is that Nelson lies dead in a lonesome house situate in a dark, out-of. the.way place in the rear of No, 94 Wes. son street, and John Holm, the old Swede, is lecked up in the Chicago ayenue station with a cut On his head about an inch.’’
