Sir, As the Parliamentary Committee of the London County Council consider that the statement circulated amongst tbe members of the House in support of. the second reading of the Bill rests upon their responsi bility, I am desired to ask yon to notice that that statement is not open to the charge made by Mr. Ritchie in the House, of containing a gross misrepresentation of facts with regard to the Local Govern ment Board having refused assistance to the London County Council. The statement circulated contained the oassace that tbe attention of the Local Government Board was last year urgently called to the unsuiableness of such a scheme for tne county of London in a detailed letter from the chairman of the Council, dated May 27 last, bat any assistance was refused by the Board, and the London County Council is now seeking to legalize the procedure in this matter which it has been constrained to adopt. Considerable correspondence took place on the BiU introduced by the County Council last year to deal with the matters mentioned in the present Bill, and finally, on the 27th of May, the chairman of tbe Council, and again on tho Cth of June, 1889, tbe clerk the Council wrote to the secretary of the Local Government Board urging tbe importance of the then impending BiU and of the powers being conferred on the Council, which were sought by the Bill of this Session.

After personal interviews, the solicitor to the County Council received the following letter from Sir Hugh Owen Local Government Board, June 17,1889. Dear Sir, I have informed. Mr. Ritchie of the representations which were made1 at tbe interviews with reference to the London County Council Bill. Mr.

Ritchie has given the matter his careful attention, but he regrets to say that be cannot hold out any expectation that he will be able to support the Bill. Yours very truly, Reginald Ward. Esq." H. Oris. My committee consider it due to the electors and ratepayers in the metropolis that they should have before them the above facts and letter.

I am. Sir. your obedient servant, CHARLES Chairman Parliamentary Committee. Spring gardens, S.W., March 21. Tnz Toxhok Exrctimoir.

The fourth earl was high in favour with William of Orange, and was successively Ambassador to Venice, France, and Austria; and Principal Secretary of State. He was created first duke in 1719. The Hon.

The deceased was 76 years of age. Mr. Grey was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his degree in 1834.

In 1840 he married Lady Elizabeth Anne G. D. Howard, daughter of. the sixth Earl of Carlisle. Mr.

Grey, who was most highly respected in the North of England, was an honorary canon of the dioeese of Newcastle, and a chaplain to the Bishop of Newcastle. The places of business In Morpeth all showed signs of mourning on Saturday evening owing to his death. Mr. Grey had held the living of Morpeth since 1842. The living.

He was educated at St. Andrews University, and had been a resident of Newcastle for 40 years. He gained much influence in the' locality as a preacher, and his friends built him a church at Bath lane, which ho made one of the most popular places of worship in the city.

Mainly in order to assist his elucidation of temperance principles he qualified as a medical practitioner. He instituted in Newcastle a system of education which afforded a college training to working men and middle class. scholars at a very small cost. The success of this educational movement earned the warm praise of the officials of the Education Department. Among those who have visited and eulogized the schools are Lord Hartington and Lord Randolph Churchill.

Mr. Rutherford was always a devoted supporter politically of Mr. Joseph Cowen. Mr. Rutherford was seized with apoplexy while returning from conducting the funeral, on Wednesday, of Mr.

P. H. Ernest Brette, the headmaster of the French School of Christ's Hospital. The deceased had been in weak health for several years. Up to tho last, however, he continued at his work, and it may truly be said that he died in harness.

On the Thursday before hss death, though evidently suffering, ho took his class as usual, and it with great difficulty that he could be persuaded by his medical adviser to withdraw and retire to his bed, from which he never again rose. Dr. Brette, who was 59 years of age, received his education at the University of Paris. From there, says the City Prctt, he proceeded to Cheltenham College to undertake the important office of French master, In 1861 he received the appointment he filled with distinguished success op to the day of his death. lie was well known and much esteemed in eJncational circles, not only as tbe author of several standard works, but also as an examiner in connexion with various bodies.

He was an examiner of the University of London, and had fulfilled similar duties at the request of the governing bodies of. other public schools, Eton and Harrow. The doctor was a Mason, being well up in the craft. It will be remembered that in the year of tbe jubilee bo had the honour of being appointed by the Prince of Wales a Past Grand Deacon of England. His loss will, be severely felt at Christ's Hospital, for he was a general favourite, respected anl esteemed by the masters and loved by tbe boys over whom he was placed.

It has been decided to reduce the charges for the 92in. breechloaders, marks 3 to 5, from 1701b. to and directions have been given by the War Department to the Senior Ordnance Store officers at Portsmouth for the reduction' to be carried out locally. No alteration of sights or rAnge tables will be rendered necessary by the alteration. It is remarked that the change; in the charges actually on board ships need only be carried out as opportunities offer for the powder to be conveniently landed for the purpose.

AmaterliM Swin. at, Oatend. from Australia the Braunschweig (same lice on I formed of detachments from Eton College, Bedford, LTarrow, Rngby, Winchester, Dulwieh, and Hailey bury, to the defending force. A memorandum has been issued from the War Office which states that the recent issue of guns to Artillery Volunteers' for Geld and position batteries has resulted in the formation of 33 batteries of lG pounders, seven of 20 pounders', and 27 of 40 pounders, each battery consisting of four guns.

The memorandum states that these guns, though not of the latest type, are a very important addition to our power of defence, and have the advantage of firing a much heavier projectile than the Seld artillery which could accompany an invading army. Twelve more batteries of IC pounders are now available. There have been abont three applications from Volunteer Corps for each of these batteries. It is expected that before the close of the 'present drill season this additional issue will increase the number of horsed guns belonging to tbe Artillery Volunteers to 31C. the number now held being 268.

With regard to the work which has been done by the batteries and the standard of eCJcieney they have attained, the reports received from tbe Royal Artillery officers in command and from general officers commanding districts are in all cases of. a satisfactory nature. In Scotland there are 12 batteries, Lancashire 15, Northumberland and Durham 11, Yorkshire 12, Eastern Counties 4, Kent and Sussex 8, Cheshire Shropshire, Stafford, and Worcester 4. Colocel Cornwallis West, M.P..
