      We Hear Of An Inquest On A Woman Who Die...

      We hear of an inquest on a woman who died of sunstroke in St . George's Church , Manchester . Did it occur to the coroner to ask how long the sermon was during which the death happened ?

      It Is With Great Joy That We Find There ...

      It is with great joy that we find there is still a chance of seeing Lord Amberley in the next Parliament . He has declined to stand for Nottingham because the lambs of that place refuse to be represented by such a lion .

      A Great Deal Of Unnecessary Asperity Has...

      A great deal of unnecessary asperity has been shown by the Liberal Press on account of Mr . Disraeli having dared to make a Duke . Surely , since the Premier has striven so hard to make his political life the illustration of his ' novels , as author of The Young Duke , he might be excused attempting to bring the youthful offspring of his imagination to maturity in the shape of the " Duke of Abercorn . "

      We Are Sorry To Find Some Of The English...

      We are sorry to find some of the English Press applauding the tyrannical treatment of M . Rochefort . A Government which is so strong and founded so firmly on the love of the people as that of the Emperor of the French , ought to be able to give the lie to such satire as M . Rochefort ' s by its acts , not by

      its edicts . An elephant does not turn on the gnat that stings him . If M . Rochefort is so insignificant a person , and his attacks on the Government unfounded , is it worth while to strain the powers of justice in order to hurt him ?

      We Notice With Sincere Sorrow The Death ...

      We notice with sincere sorrow the death of the talented Editor of the Saturday Review . In private life he was so genial and amiable , that he would never have been suspected of any connection with a paper so bitter and spiteful , as the Saturday Review has lately become . It was too plain , from some of the

      articles that have appeared lately , that the staff had lost their head . We hope that whoever succeeds to the post , so unhappily rendered vacant , will teach the young lions under his care that it is possible to be forcible without being malignant .

      The Tentative Nomination Of Lord Mayo As...

      The tentative nomination of Lord Mayo as Governor-General of India does not seem popular . May we not hope that , as the noble Lord's name is , grammatically speaking , decidedly in the conjunctive mood , he may share the office jointly with some person who knows a little about India , and who will be able to take care of this guileless genius of the Conservative party ?

      Feace!

      FEACE !

      (See Cartoon.) Peace ! With The Murderou...

      ( See Cartoon . ) Peace ! with the murderous Engine here Still warm from foundry-bed ! Peace , did I say ? While bayonets bristle round , and o'er my head Some Fate hangs ominous ! Yes , this is Peace !

      My people love me—me , the lawful heir : Have I not promised all a sovereign can ? Have I not given Liberty her wings ? What if poor pigmies shoot their venom still At me and mine ! Have I not Right to nerve me 1

      Is not a nation ' s faith , respect , and love Sufficient guard against a private spite ? Yes , this is Peace ! Chain up the Press ! And , quick , Order another thousand cannon to salute The prosperous harvest of Imperial France !

      Poor Lord Napier Of Magdala Has At Lengt...

      POOR Lord Napier of Magdala has at length concluded his second great campaign and has left London for the country , having evinced powers of docile endurance and long-suffering for which those who only knew the General from his conduct of the Abyssinian war would scarcely have given him credit .

      We quote from the columns of a daily paper the last of his brilliant achievements before quitting the metropolis : Piccadill Lord Nap y , with ier of sittings Magdala ( in uniform has favoured s ) for a series Messrs of .
