A memorial hall which has been erected to the memory of the lato Iyonl Redcailale at Morcton in Marsh, which adjoins (he RaUford eotatea, was opened yesterday by Sir IHcks'Reach in.tho preence of a largo and influential body of the Countess of Camperdown, the Bishop of Peterborough. Lady Clrrr.i ntina and Mr. Freeman Itforvl, arid others. The new hall, which was dedicated to the perpetual 6 of the inhnlutaqU of Moreton in Marsh, stands in a prmiincut inxitiou in the centre of the broad street which ffnna the chief thoroughfare and market plare of the town, and its architectural character at once attracts the attention of the raw in; traveller. The architects are Messrs.

Ivrnest George and lVto, and the. builders Messrs. Pcto Brothers, of 1'itnlieo. Tho main floor of the, hall is a handsome room, beautifully floored with oak, with a remarkably fine stone chimney piece, and with windows on each aide of the hall bearing the arms of the family of Lady Clementina MitfonI, the daughter of th lto aud sister of tho present Earl of Airlie, and of Sir. Freeman Mitfurd, the donor, who was.

up to tbe time of the death ot his cousin, the late Earl of 15 to the Commissioners of Public Works. By the death of Lord Ktdesdale in May, le6, tbe title became eitinct, ami Mr. Freeman Mitford succeeded to tbe Hat fonlanil other property if thi deerased nobleman.

28. My dear. Lord Edmond Fitxmawiw, Arnold or ley tells me that he thinks you will not, mind my writing to yon about your recent speech. I therefore freely rent whit has in my mind ever since 1 read it. It was, I thought, precisely and prc cmlnrntlr the speech that was wanted, made by one who was in all respects peculiarly the man to make it.

In my view, Ireland is the heading of a bright chapter in tbo history, not only of the. Liberals, but especially of tun ii uigs, ii was a nooio imng on me pan oi is ante ami FiUwilliam and the other sccedcrs from Fox that not all their horror of France could make them untrue to Ireland. The Whlc party after the schism remained for Irish nur poses unbroken, and were right in each one" of the various stages mrougti wliicli tUo question had to pass; right in the endeavour, frustrated by Pitt and the ascendency men. to work tbe (Jrattan Parliament right in the opposition to tbe Union when it was shamelessly forced on Ireland; ngm in saying by too mouth oi tax tnat so Huge a measure must hare art unprejudiced and a full trial when it had once been effected, and when no man could undertake to say mitivcly that Ireland might not come, as Scotland had come, to make it her own by adoption right, probably, when Grattan gave his provisional sanction to coercion as the necessary sequel to the Union right, certainly, when Lord Grey and Lord Altborp proposed further coercion in 1833, when they had done, and were doing, for Ireland, In so many ways, all which at the time they could, and wben no Minister was in a condition to say ccnstitutioniilW that the sense of the Irish reoeie demande.1 I aelf governmnt and, finally, right was a cruelly crippled remnant ol their leading class, enthusiastically, supported but too fully, and had entirely tailed. All this I have said to show that 1 do not use words with out meaning when I sny we want a little Whig treatment K3 TUB WEATHER.

Airsaoon u. CHESS. THE BRITISH CHESS ASSOCIATION MASTERS' TOURNAilENT. In the fon th round of the Masters' Tournament yesterday the winners were Rlackburne against Zukertort, Lee r. Guest.

11 Ason v. Mortimer, Ounsberg v. Pollock, and Burn y.llird. Zukertort, with first 'move in a Queen's Pawn opening, sustained his first defeat from Blackburne. He lost a pawn by a miscalculation early in the game; Blackburne at a critical period forced the exchange of queens and "rooks, and won rery neatly through his pawns in tho Jend game duration, three hours.

Lee against Guest won his first game, it being the latter's first defeat. It was a Buy Lopcx attack, which tbe young master, played Very skilfully, weakening his opponent pawris, and by an ingenious double attack winning one of them by accurate play afterwards he brought about an end game, secured a fresh queen with his queen's' rook's pawn, and won in four hours and 55 moves. Gunsberg won against I'ollotk, the latter again playing a Greco' Counter Gambit, and losing as' easily as he did against Blackburne at tbe same opening. The Irish cham Sion 'a selection of so hazardous and unsatisfactory a efence! placed him at a great disadvantage from the first, and, though he did not play in his usual form, mainly accounts for his easy defeat in two very weak contests. The game extended to 41 moves, and occupied four hours.

Mason's game against Mortimer ended in favour of the former in 37 mores and 31 hours. Bird against' Burn resulted in favour of the latter after 45 moves and six hours' play. It was a King's Bishop's Pawn opening, and proved the most stubborn contest of tbe day1. The score now stands Zukertort, 3 Gunsberg, 3 Blackburne, 3 Burn, 3 Guest, 3 Bird, 1 Mason, 1) Pollock; 1 Lee, 1 Mortimer, 0. The following is the game bet ween, Lee and Guest, and is a good specimen of the youngest master's play Rui Lopez Attack.

as magistrate. Poor Law guardian, srortsmapneigbbour, and friend, who by his lirisbt qualities had earned the Jbcnour and respect of all with whom he came in contact. (Cheers.) He himself never met in his life a man who more thoroughly flattery than did the late Lord Itcdrsdale. Possessing true honesty, fearlessness, a love cf work 'for work's sake, and excellent judgment in any I matter oi business mat came beiore mm, tney could not have found a better specimen than he afforded of an enlightened, trucond honest Englishman, ever ready to do hi duty to God and to his fellow men. (Cheers.

He thuught it would be impossible to overrate the value of the public serrieo which Lord Rrdesdale had conferred upon his country. They could scarce tell what enormous power lor good or for evil was Tested in the Chairman of Committees of the House of Lords, and especially in a. 'time cf railway speculation. Thanks to his thorough honesty Lord Redesdale was able throughout, a long' and honourable career to cope successfully with the wiles of many of the cleverest and most unscrupulous (Hear, hear.)

Liberal Unionism has strongly tended to make us a narrow Church, and to' break up the old and invaluable habit of Liberal England vhich looked to Liberal aristocracy and a Liberal leisured class as the' natural and therefore the best leaders of the Liberal movement. Thus it was that classes and masses were 'United, I look with apprehension and dislike 'on whatever: disunites them.

And next to its demerit on the ground of injustice to Ireland and Imperial danger comes this second demerit that it has in a disastrous manner and de gree, severed the mass of our great and truly national Prty. This controversy and even the of will gradually die away'with the certain triumph of Home Rule. But rill the ranks which have been divided easily close up again All the better, Toryism will reply, if they do not. But is this a pleasant bra natural answer, for Liberal Unionism to make It has been a Liberal not a Tory aris tocracy which has supplied the country with the necessary in tne great works oi trie i'Jtn century, want to seep tne great organ in good working order, and I lor one think that the narrowinir of the party by the severance or reduction of one wing is also the crippling of the is, iu iuj opinion, uj acuou use yours, sou lu (particular by reasoning like yours, if at all, that this great mischief can be averted.

merely to explain that my geography is not as much at fault as he seems to imagine. Haying been in those parts, I am well aware that the Danube Is not tho Save any more than the Thames is the Loddon but I am still convinced that the object I saw on the Danube was a similar one to that ecn by the reverend gentlemen on the Save.and for the following reasons First, because the system of watchmen on poles is common to both rivers, and, secondly, because the canons, having been primed with'horrors on board the steamer! were prcpjired to see an impaled man in every object through pnjl Slavonic glasses. I may add that, in addition to what I mentioned in my last letter, I was informed by the late Hobart Pasha that, in his interview with Canon Mac Coll on the subject.the reverend gentleman admitted tnat nej saw no ropes on tne figure. I had not seen Canon MaeColl's letter when I wrote mine, or should have explained about the Danube and its tributary. i am, cir, your ooeuicnt servant; E.

Very Rev.

He was late student of Christ Church, Oxford.and held the Craven Scholarship in 1830 and the Ireland Scholarship in 1S33, in waica year he took his degree as a first class in Liters Uumaniorei.

He took the Latin Essay prize in 1S34 took the degree of M.A.(Balliol College) 1836, won tho Den ycr Theological Essay Prize in became a Bachelor of Divinity' and Doctor of Divinity in 1851. He was made a deacon in 1835 and a priest in 1836, and he was a Fellow and Tutor of Balliol Coliego from 1835 to 1840. The de ceased Dean had held many appointments, among the principal being Rector of. Duloe, Cornwall, from 1840 to 1S50; Prebendary of Exeter, from 1845 to 18G6 Rector of South Suffenham. Rutlandshire, from 1S5Q to J.854 Select Preacher at Oxford, 1853 54 and 1874 75 Master of Balliol College (on the death of Dr.

He was the author.in conjunction with Dr. Liddell, of the well known Greek English Lexicon, which was published in 1813 and has run throughnumerous editions.the last of which was published in 1883 Twelve Sermons," published in 1851 University Sermons," published in 18C0 and he.had been a contributor to The Speaker's Commentary," and one of the revisers of the authorized version of the New Testament. In Dr. Scott has passed away one of the first Greek' scholars of the day, whose name is inseparably associated with the history of Oxford during the last quarter of a century.

As Master of Balliol he worthily continued the traditions of his great predecessor, Dr Jenkyns, and, aided by Dr. Jowett.the leading Tutor, who has since succeeded him in the Mastership, did much to give Balliol the prominent position which it at present noios.

LORD SALISBURY AND MR, BRADLA UGH, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir, Referring to the letter of Lord Salisbury in your issue of to day, I beg to state that the summary of my evidence tn your report does not accurately reproduce what I said. I do not in any way blame your reporter, as I think Mr.

Poland and myself sometimes both spoke at the same time, and the report ii necessarily abbreviated but Lord Salisbury letter renders it necessary 1 should re Mr. Poland examined me as to the Trafalgar square in February, 1886, no knowledge except through hearsay day week 'about half past 8o'elock in the morning, she or reading. Mr. Poland again pressed me Do you heard a scuffle and a knocking kind of noise, and after 1 mean that you do not know that such meetings took wards saw a woman, who was nursing deceaseds wife, plieo I answered, "Only as the general public who had been confined on the previous Sunday, bathirur i y.A ii the deceased's head, which wal bleed ing.

On kvl, answered tnat I Had where he was taken in a eab.

There were several, splashes of blood on the wall by the side of. the bed. Deceased and Ernest had a auarrel on Monday. whenJdeccased threatened to throw him down the stairs, as he had come to witness's assistance, as deceased threatened (to throw her out of the room. The stick produced (a short one with a heavy iron ferrule) was her property.

Mrs. Kingston aid she was attending deceased's wife. On qpening the door of the rodm on the Wednesday deceased fell into her arms covered with blood, having received several blows. Viekery said I did it now I have had my revenge." ne afterwards said My God, what have 1 done Arthur Thomas Taylor, of 10, Arthur street, said he taw deceased lying in the fireplace, in the front bedroom, in a pool of blood, and on rsiting.him up he found three large wounds on his head. Viekery was quite sober.

Mr. Jcrvis. surgeon, of Evelyn street, said Viekery came to him, and said that he and deceased had had a few he had had his revenue, haying hit him oyer the head with a stick. Witness told him it was a cowardly thing to do, and Viekery said Is'nt it a cowardly thing to hit my mother." Detective Shave said when Viekery was charged at Deptford Foliee ttation and the stick was produced.he said That's what I did it with the iron came off at the first blow."

Mr. Poland contradicted or objected, I not catch his exact words, and I retorted, I am quite sure, for before I made my statement in the House I saw some of the cheques." This statement I adhere to, and I am ready, directly Parliament meets, as I stated that I was ready when an inquiry was spoken about in the House in the spring of 1886, if the Government will grant ft Select Committee with power to call for persons, books, and papers, and on which I may sit to call and examine witnesses, to trace several cheques signed by leading members of the 'Conservative party, including one signed by the Marquis of Salisbury, some of which were payable to S.

Peters, all of which, I believe, passed through the hands of S. Peters, and which were used in connexion with the so called fair trade meetings of the unemployed which preceded the riotous meetings in Trafalgar square. Yours most obediently, C. BRADLAUGH. 20, Circus road, St.

Remarks (8 30 The observations for to day show that while the barometer remains highest' over France "and lo west to the northward of our islands, depressions of great size are passing from west to east towards iNorway with considerable rapidity. One of these ((which lay over the north of Norway on Thursday night) was travelling away towards Russia this moraine after (causing strong westerly riles in the far north another is following it closely, and is now apparently a little to the northward of the Shetknds, while the continued fall of the barometer in the west of Ireland, with a backing south westerly wind and threatening appearance, seems to show that another such system is advancing towards our north western coasts from the Atlantic. At 6 p.m. to day pressure" was highest, 305in. and more, over France lowest, 29'4in.

at' Belmullet and Valencia Island, and 49deg. even as tar north as Sumburgh Head lowest, 34deg. at Christiansund, 37deg. at Stockholm, and 44deg. at Yarmouth.

It was therefore very high over our islands for the time ot year, especially on our north western coasts. Wind was blowing a moderate but increasing gale from west in the Shetland and Hebrides, and a reih gale from south south west at Skpdes naes. It was south westerly in Ireland, strong and but westerly, flight to moderate, on our eastern and south eastern coasts. At Jersey and Dungeness jt was light from the north westward. Weather was dull except in the east, with snow at Christiansund, steady rain at Sumburgh Head, Stornoway, and Ardrossan, and drizzling, misty rain at Valencia Island.

In London a little cirrus cloud was seen in the western sky at 6 p.m., movingjvery slowly from north. The sky subsequently became overcast. Sea was high at Sumburgh, Head, rough on the Norwegian coast and at Stornoway and Malin Head, rather rough at Mullaghmore and Valencia Island, moderate to smooth else where. It appeared to be rising in the west and north" west. From the continued fall of the barometer and backing wind in the west of Ireland, while the fall at Stornoway has been checked, it seems likely that with the present dis tribution of pressure and high temperatures further disturbances are coming towards us'from the Atlantic.

Our extreme northern and north western stations were warned this afternoon, and the warning has been extended southwards to Bangor and Dublin on our western coasts and to Hull in the east this evening. Forecasts or Wsatbxb ron Sattkdat, Drc. 3 (ISSCID AT 8 30 P.M. OX TEX MXyiOCS DAT). 0.

An inquiry was held into the low of the vessel at Galle, and after hearing all the evidence "the Court suspended the second officer's certificate 'for six months for not calling the captain when the weather became thick, and for proceeding at too high speed in hazy weather. Land had not been observed after passing Socotra, and the Court found that the vessel was 22 miles north of her true position which they attributed to strong currents. The captain and engineers Were left at Galle. with a view cf sal ring the wreck, but this is thought impossible. Yesterday another collision was reported Dover.

The barque bound for Sydney with a cargo of stores, came into collision while sailing down Channel off Dover with the screw steamer Clyde. She sank ft few minutes afterwards.

Havers totk hill. 'promoted by the Hampsteaj Liberal and Radical dissociation and tha Heme Rnla; Union, to protest against the Government in Ireland. Mr. H. II.

Aiquith. M.P presided, and wss supported on the platform by Mr. Wilfrid 8. BJunt, Lady Anne Blunt, and ft large number of other ladies and gentlemen. Mr.

Asquith. M.P., in opening proceedings said that his first duty was to congratulate those present! upon the evidence which that large and representative: meeting afforded of the robustness and vitality of Harapi stead Liberalism. If they were to believe all they read ia the Unionist Press of to day the Liberals, as a party, were surrounded at the present moment by circumstances of gloom which might easily damp the ardour and depress the spirits of the most determined GIsdstonian. Having referred sarcastically to the "crushing blow" cf tha Dulwich election, with a reduced Conservative majority, and to the "depressing circumstance of the great Unionist celebration in Dublin, he remarked that he was quite prepared to admit that the Dublin celebration was most imposing muster, of the garrison, but they must not forget that, tha British garrison was one thing and tha of Ireland another. He did not think tnere was much need for despondency, but there (was great need' for indignation and potest, which he proceeded to demonstrate in an able speech, concluding by an appeal for tha people of Ireland to hate riven" to them the power of making and the duty of enforcing the law, on which it would be found that in the sense of responsibility of an en ranchised and self governed nation the best and the only safeguard would be found alike for order and for liberty.

Mr. Wilirid S. Blunt, who was received with loud cheers and waving of hats, moved the following resolution That this meeting protests against tha treatment of Mr. O'Brien, by the Government, condemns the policy of coercion now being pursued by it in Ireland, which, by suppressing the right of public meeting and the liberty of the Press Js calculated only to exasperate the Irish people, and farther declares that the only eolation of the Irish question is to be found in a measure of Home Rule." In movinz this. Imolution.

Mr. Blunt spoke of the arrest of Mr. Timothy. xiarringion as anoiner prooi xnas ine uovemment only wished to arrest those who were esercising ft restraining influence on tha people, as also shown in the ease of Mr. O'Brien, the object' of tha.

Government" being to drive the people to violence and force, so as to justify its repressive ana coercive legislation. After animadverting on that administration of the Crimes Act, and contending that the sentences passed were dictated from Dublin Castle, Mr. Blunt earnestly advocated the granting of Home Rale to Irelsnd.which, heasserted, was desired by the enormous majority of the people; and. that there was no desire for separation. A free people could deny freedom to arother nation and retain its own freedom, and unless tha people of this country soon gave liberty to Ireland, liberty would not long be retained in England, where forces werei already at work leading on towards doing away with, liberty in this country too.

Mr. Morton, of the Home Rait Union, seconded the resolution, which was carried ahnostt tmanixnously amid loud cheering. Gas ExTLosin r.
