Sir Thomas Bateson's Explanation About "...
Sir Thomas Bateson's explanation about " Orangeism , " on Thursday last , was as acid as if the subject had had to do with lemons .
The Khedive Has Had Billiard Tables Set ...
The Khedive has had billiard tables set up in his summer palace , a novelty which has surprised the modern Egyptians ! Why Cheophs himself was a great hand at pyramids J
In A List Of Adulterated Articles Finish...
In a list of adulterated articles finished the other day by a contemporaiy , a certain sort of paper was said to be weighted with "plaster of Paris / ' Can it have been a sheet of the Daily Telegraph ?
The Militia Are Not To Learn The New Dri...
The Militia are not to learn the new drill because , like the British Fleet on a certain memorable occasion , it "is not yet in sight , " and they are not to study the old drill because it is useless . From this it would appear that the Militia will have plenty to do this training !
The Sinking Of The Oneida Has Caused A G...
The sinking of the Oneida has caused a great stir in America . Some of the papers declare that Captain Eyre's name will , henceforth , be infamous in the annals of the sea . In fact , our cousins are attempting to make a national quarrel out of the affair . It was not our fault—the whole question resolves itself " into thin Eyre . "
Mr. Wha.Ll.Ey Has Written To The Standar...
Mr . Wha . ll . ey has written to the Standard to declare that Mr . Murphy , " the Protestant Lecturer , " is " in no way unworthy of the confidence of those who act with him . " If we had said this instead of Mr . Whalley himself , he might have reasonably taken offence . We shall now know wlio to hold responsible for Murphy ' s next blasphemies .
Some One Has Been Writing To The Times A...
Some one has been writing to the Times and objecting to suburban races . The police are called away from their proper beats that they may keep order among the rabble attracted by what a cockney would call a carnival of " 'acks and haccidents . " We sympathise with the writer . Every meeting has its drawbacks ; but " publicans' races" are particularly abominable . On such occasions even Hampton Wick becomes Hampton Wicked !
Mr. Scudamore (We Trust Not At The Expen...
Mr . Scudamore ( we trust not at the expense of the public ) has been going the rounds of the provincial telegraph stations lately . Could he not take the messages sent from London with him ? We arc sure that if he could contrive this , it would be a great saving of time , and would render those half-affectionate
Mr. Scudamore (We Trust Not At The Expen...
letters , which lie is so fond of addressing to the public , and in which he appeals so eloquently to their better feelings not to use such and such a line , unnecessary . It is said that Mr . Scudamore is to be made a Knight . Perhaps this is advisable , as he certainly is not up to the time of day ]

We had occasion shortly since to refer to the establishment of the English Opera at the Crystal Palace , and we gave the Crystal Palace Company credit for having at length afforded a permanent fore , the more home sorry for to the observe national that lyri , so c d far ram from a .

A QUESTION NOT TO BE SHIRKED .
The Results Of The Disastrous Collision ...
The results of the disastrous collision between the Bombay and the Otieida are beginning to develope themselves . The surgeon of the ill-fated American ship , the only officer who was in saved writing of the to twelve the American who were papers dining declares when the that crash the took Bombay place , was hailed and asked to stop , but , she seemed to steam away itself as fast very as strong she could ly ag , ainst while the the conduct New Yor of k the Time captai s , expressing n of the Bombay , concludes in the following words : " We have a right to demand justice against this man ; that he can ever again be put in command of a ship seems impossible—but a severer punishment than this must be his portion . If he is allowed to escape , farewell to all good feeling between the naval services of America and England . " Without endorsing this tirade , as regards the violence of its tone , it seems to us that the Americans have a just right to demand the very fullest enquiry , and the very direst punishment on those who are proved guilty of an improper discharge of their duty in the deplorable affair . The- enquiry which has already been held does not even satisfy the British public , who would willingly persuade themselves , if they could , that the English ship was less to blame in the course pursued after the collision than has been stated . How , then , can we expect our American cousins to rest content with the vague proceedings which have already been instituted at the Antipodes with so unsatisfactory a result . Surely , if ever a matter should be made a " Government question , " the loss of the Oncida should namel be—or y , if a it " is national not , it " may question become , which something the Trinity more House than this , or , whatever the constituted authorities may be termed , will be powerless to solve and determine . We presume that it is for the Board of Trade to take the initiative in instituting the most open and searching enquiry into the circumstances of the disaster only by , the so we persons demand immediatel of that y Department implicated to in do the its affai duty r , , but not by the great masses of both Englishmen and Americans .
