On Friday, air William Thomson, Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Glasgow, gave evidence Uv SoLei Committee on EUotric Lighting. Hp said lie anticipated a great future for the light, and its use iu every case where a fixed light is required, whether in large or small rooms, in lobbies, or other places in private bou-es. He was also of opinion that electricity would be greatly used in the future for motive power as well as for lighting. The electric light was specially adapted for being placed high, where it would illuminate a wider area with less intensity. The light might be put upon an iron pole, raised GO feet high, or the old French plan of swinging a lamp on a wire from one side of a street to the other might be advantageously followed.

Such a plan. would be useful also by doing away with the necessity for opal globes. Freeing the London Bridges.

The meeting was to consider the propriety of abrogating the laws fixing the hours of labour in factories, and the Duke quoted one the speakers at lt.who argued that restricted labour and unrestricted competition were incompatible. The Duke's suggested remedy for the present depressson was the imposition of moderate duties" on imports from foreign countries, "the food of the people to be exempted from such duties Lord Beaconsfielo declined to discuss this question of duties at all on such a notice as that given by the Duke. If his noble friend proposed that there should be a change in the commercial system of the country, let him give a proper notice, so tbat their Lordships might have that proposition discussed in a manner worthy of one of the greatest, weightiest, and largest subjects which could engage their attention. Friday, May 23. Trapeze Performances.

Lord De La Ware moved the second reading of a Bill similar to one for which he obtained a second reading last Session, and the object of which is to prevent the employment of children under fourteen years of age at dangerous performances, such as walking on ceilings and swinging from trapezes. Lord Beauchamp, on the part of the Government, while sympathizing in the object of the measure, pointed out that, owing to the defective wording of the Bill, it would require alteration in Committee. Lord Auerdare expressed his opinion that for a Legislature who had prohibited the employment of young children at even useful industries an ample case had been made out for some such Bill as this. Lord Shafiesuury informed their Lordships that the cruelty to which young children were subjected while being trained for those acrobatic performances was beyond anything he could describe. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Wednesday, May 21. University Education in Ireland. The O'G'ONOR Don, in moving the second reading of the University Education (Ireland) Bill said it was no essential part of the scheme that the money for carrying it out should come from the funds of the Disestablished Church if Parliament preferred to find the money from any other source no objection would be taken by the promoters of the Bill. There was, he assmed the Bouse, no intention of rushing the Bill. The second reading had been fixed for that day simply because, if further delayed, the chance of passing the Bill would be lost.

G. Campbell moved an amendment which, while recognising the claim of the Irish people to the Church surplus as long as it was not employed for sectarian purposes, laid it down that it is not desirable to apply additional public funds to the promotion of higher education until adequate provision is first made for elementary teaching in Ireland without aid from Imperial funds exceeding that given to other parts of the United Kingdom. This amendment was seconded by LordE.FlTZMAURlCE. who protested against any kind of religious endowment, whether concurrent or otherwise. Mr.

Kavanagh supported the Bill as a compromise. Mr. M'Laren spoke against the Bill, which he contended, in a detailed examination of its clauses, especially those relating to the governing body and the affiliation of colleges, would operate as an endowment of religious teaching. After some further discussion the debate was adjourned till Thursday, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the state of Government business rendered it impossible for him to promise a day for its resumption. Thursday, May 22.

Indian Finances. Mr. Stanhope made his annual statement on East India finance, which showed a deficit on the year 1877-78 of three and a half millions, mainly owing to the famine. For the ensuing year the hon. gentleman anticipated a deficit of 1,855,000, besides which one and a half; millions of Famine Insurance Fund bad to be provided for, and a sum of money sufficient to maintain a surplus over the expenditure, the whole of these items now amounting to three and a quarter millions.

As new taxes are impossible, Mr. Stanhope said tbe Government had determined to secure an equilibrium by redaction of expenditure, spread over all branches. This statement was received with cheers from both sides of the House, and Mr. Stanhope went on to explain bow the reduction was to be effected. First, with regard to the Civil Service, be said it had been deeided that a larger number of natives should be employed, and that the number of covenanted servants sent out from this country should be diminished.

Although the process must be gradual, he calculated that a saving of 250,000 might be thus effected. Passing to the Public Works Department, he quoted some statistics to show that it would be a great misfortune, for India if public works were abandoned, but it had been determined, he said, to limit them strictly to the sum which experience showed might be borrowed in India namely, 2,500,000. The saving which might be thus effected in the Public Works Department he reckoned at 750,000. With regard to tbe army charges, while the Government could not look forward at present to any reduction of the garrison of British troops, they had appointed a Commission in India to consider tbe cost aud organization of the army. Coming last to the home charges, Mr.

Stanhope showed that though they amounted to 15,000,000, the sum over which the Secretary of State had any control was only 275,000. Ou the whole, he estimated that the entire saving would be at least one million a year. Mr. Fawcett said that after the speech of the Under-Secretary, which iu substance accepted the resolution which he had originally intended to move, he would change its language, and move that the House, while viewing the financial condition of India with apprehension, approves the decision of tbe Government to reduce the expenditure. In the debate which followed Mr.

Laing repeated his warning that the maintenance of the scientific frontier would prove a very costly affair, and Mr. Gladstone after commenting on the change in the situation consequent on the Under-Secre tary's speech suggested that, as the contentious issue nan been removed by the assurance that the Government had taken the work of reduction in hand, Mr. Fawcett should withdraw his resolution, and that the debate on the Indian Budget should proceed in the usual amicable manner. Mr. Fawcett comnlied with this recommendation, and, his reso lution having been withdrawn, the debate was adjourned.

Representation of Northampton. Mr. Ayitouhas definitely declined to unite with Mr. Eradlaugh iu the contest for the representation of Northampton. Mr.

Ayrton has accepted the invitation of the Moderate Liberals to contest the constituency. Mr. Eradlaugh is the elect of the Radical Huudred. The latter proposed union on the basis of a united platform, a united Committee, aud a united canvass. A deputation waited upon Mr.

Ayrton from the Radical Hundred to urge the acceptance of these bases of union, stating that in that case a third Liberal candidate, now in the field, would withdraw, while the Radicals, it was urged, could give Mr. Ayrton 2000 votes, and thus secure victory for both. But Mr. Ayrton elected to preserve his independence and when reminded that Mr, Jacob Bright, Mr. Fawcett, and other gentlemen had written counselling union, he remarked that they had better attend to their own affaire.

Gallup, 493, 1 Oxford Street, London. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Tlie Eustou-sqnare Murder. Part of the clothing of the unfortunate woman whose body was recently found iu the cellar of No. 4, Eustou-square, has been identified as that of Miss Hacker, by her brother, and the identity of the deceased is settled almost beyond a doubt.

Mrs. Bridges, who kept the boarding-house iu Bedford-place, Russell-square, where Miss Hacker was last positively traced as occupying apartments, has been found. Miss Hacker first weut to live at her house in the early part of 1876, giving her name as Miss Bell. rs. Bridges states that she has not the slightest doubt that the remains which have been discovered are those of Miss Hacker.

Her main reason for believing this is the fact that Dr. Davies mentioned that he had detected curvature of the spine. She distinctly remembers that Miss Hacker was extremely round-shouldered, and this was often pointed out both by herself and the other inmates of the boarding-house. Miss Hacker was between 60 and 70 years of age, and was about 5ft. 2in.

in height. The original colour of her hair was iron gray, but she dyed it. it was short and fine in texture, and she always dressed it in small curls. Miss Hacker's disposition was exceedingly pleasaut, and Mrs. Bridges states that she was the last person in the world who would have been likely to destroy herself.

The only motive she could imagine for aeeci was tnat Miss Hacker was in the hnbit of changing all her money into gold, and used to 1 Mil people that she carried it about with her. or kept it her boxes. Mrs. Basteudorff, the wife of the occupier of the house where the remains were discovered, has made an the effect that she remembers well Miss Hacker lodging with them. She also says that one day Hannah Dobhs told her Miss Hacker had gone away, leaving the place in a disgraceful state.

She occupied the second floor back, and on hearing this statement Mrs. Bat-teudorff went at ouce to the room and fouud it in disorder. Mrs. Basteudorff also recollects that somewhere about the same time Dobbs left her bouse to go to the country, and when she came back she informed every one that an uncle of hers had died, leaving her 150 in gold, and making a bequest of several articles of jewellery. Hannah was very liberal with her money on ibis occasion, and made preseuts of valuable articles to all the Basteudorff a.

The detectives, ou hearing about the disorder that was apparent in the room occupied by Miss Hacker, made a searching investigation of the whole place, and discovered a large blot on the carpet. This part of the carpet has been cut out, and it is now in the bauds of the authorities at Scotland-yard. Mr. Talbert, tbe resident in tbe house next to that in which the remains were found, baa made a statement in which he says that his wife beard a loud scream proceed from the drawing-room of No. 4 on a Sunday in October, 1877, of so dreadful a character that she almost fainted away, and was found by her servant in a semi-insensible condition.

After that she lost sight of an old lady who had once or twice visited No. 4, and whose appearance accorded with the description giveu by Miss Hacker. The detectives certainly believe that some kind of acid must have been thrown over the corpse by some person, and the question ia who that person is. It is remarkable that the rope found on the neck of the skeleton should have crumbled away when touched as it did. It is of a cherry colour just as a rope would be if subjected to quicklime or some insidious acid.

It is said by practical men that if a rope were buried in the ground over two years it would not be fouud to be so rotten as the rope referred to, which was as frail as the wick of a candle. The pawnbroker, who received the missing woman's watch and chain ia pawn, baa identified Hannah Dobbs, who is now serving a term of imprisonment, but who was formerly a servant to Mr. Basteudorff, 4, Eus ton-square, aa tbe woman who brought the property to him. The remains of the murdered woman, lying at the St. Pancras mortuary, were on Friday visited by Hannah Dobbs herself, who was taken there by Inspector Hagan aud one of the matrons of Tothill-fields Prison.

She was attired in deep mourniug, which had been supplied by the authorities. She was perfectly calm and collected, walked over to the coffin where the body was, and looked very calmly upon the hideous sight. She shook her head, and did not remember anyone whom she would expect to see in that state." She thought the hair was much lighter thau Miss Hacker's, but she remembered tbe lace shawl, known as a fichu, which Miss Hacker had worn. Hannah Dobbs has been questioned as to the 50 she is alleged to have stated she received as a bequest from a deceased uncle, but no explanali has transpired. Accident to the Earl op Esses.

The Earl of Essex has met with a somewhat severe accident. While walking iu the grounds of Cassiobury Park, Watford, he slipped and fell, sustaining a fracture of two of his ribs. Fatal Collision in the English Channel. On Monday week the passenger vessel Dunbar Castle, 925 tons, Captain lsmay, from London, with passengers and a general cargo for South Australia, put back into Plymouth Sound, having been in collision with the barque Christina, homeward bound. The Dunbar Castle waa going down Channel on Sunday night, close, hauled, and when off the E.tddystone lighthouse the barque hove iu Bight, and attempted to cross the bows of the passenger vessel, but was cut iu two, sinking immediately, only six of her crew of nine being saved, the steward and two of the seamen being drowned.

1 be Dunbar Castle had her jibboom carried away, and her bulwarks were a little damaged. Gun Accident. A gun accident occurred at Three Bridge Mills, Twyford, Bucks, late on Friday evening, whereby a young man named William Burton, living at the mills, lost his life. Burton was walking by the mill-stream with a friend who had a guu in his baud. Burton, who was standing between his friend and a rat, told him to fire at it, and put himself in a stooping position to get clear of the shot.

Just, however, as the trigger was pulled Burton raised his head and the charge parsing through it he was killed instantaneously. Alarming Accident at the Polytechnic On Saturday afternoon, during tbe usual exhibition of the diving-bell at the Polytechnic, a link of the gear above gave way, and the bell fell with great force to the bottom. Two or three persons were in the bell at the time, and they were imprisoned beneath the bell, and iu danger of suffocation. The officials promptly turned off the water and broke the glass windows in tbe bell. Globe.

The Extbaobdinaby Shooting Case at Jersey. Adrien Alavoine, the Frenchman who caused such a sensation iu Jersey lately by shooting his sweetheart and then himself, was removed last week from the hospital to the house of his parents, The ball has not yet been extracted from his cheek, and he has been admitted to 100 bail to answer the double charge of attempted murder and suicide. Cases of Impalement.

On Wednesday a young labourer named John Loveday, while employed on a ladder placed against a scaffold in one of the streets of Lambeth, slipped aud fell a great distance, lighting upon the iron railing beneath. Two of the iron spikes penetrated the right hip joiut aud right arm. It was with great difficulty that the man was extricated, and he is not expected to survive. On the following day, at Eastbourne, a little child named Mowbray, three years of age, clambering out of the drawing'room window of his father's residence, fell ou to the iron railings in the street below with such force as to cause one of the iron spikes to penetrate his lung. The poor child was literally impaled, and died instantaneously.

Homicide in a Theatre. A young man named Kelly was charged at Worship-street on Monday week with the murder of Henry Yates. From the evidence it appeared that both men were at the Biitanuia Theatre, and that a dispute arose between them in consequence of Yates standiug up and obstructing the view. As he refused to sit down, Kelly, who had been drinking, stabbed him in the leg with a clasp knife. The injured man waa taken to the hospital, when it was found necessary to amputate his leg, and he died from the operation.

The prisoner was committed for trial. Five Shots at a Wife. An Italian gardener, engaged at Silverball, near Hastings, who for some time pa-'t has shown signs of mental perturbation, deliberately fired five shots from a revolver at his ife on Wednesday as she was entering the room in which he was. The first two balls entered the left arm, and the third penetrated her right client near the shoulder, and came out at the back. After the third shot the woman turned to leave the room, and her husband again fired, hitting her in the neck.

As she was rushing down the stairs he aimed once more but, the bullet struck against the wall. The unfortunate woman now lies in a very precarious condition, but the medical men give hopes of her uliimate recovery. The would-be murderer has been brought before the magis rates, and remanded. Ruin and Suicide. An old man named Mayne.

whi was a shareholder in the West of England and South Wales Bank, committed suicide at Exeter on Thursday morning by hanging himself. He had invested the savings of a life-time in thirty shares of the bank, and was about to retire and live on the interest when tbe bank stopped. A Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. A Suicidal Family. There is, or was for it now seems to be no more a family at Woolston, near Southampton, which has developed a singular fondness for suicide.

Last year a gardener, name Cole, hanged himself on a tree in a plantation adjoining his residence. A few weeks later the eldest son of tbe deceased committed a similar act with fatal results on the same tree. The relatives then had this tree cut down, but on Friday week the body of another son, also a gardener, and 45 years of age, was found hanging to a tree close by the spot. At the inquest the usual verdict was returned. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

The Rev. anon Harvev, who was upwards of half a century since Curate of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, under the late Bishop Blomtield, as llector, reached on Thursday the 50Ui anniversary of his institution as Rector of Homsey. Fifty years ago his parish, then a secluded village, numbered 2000 people, with one church now its number is 25,000, with six additional district churches which the venerable Rector has been instrumental in establishing. St.

Peter's, Folkestone. The Record says: It will be remembered that, by the monition of the Court of Arches, iu this case (which was confirmed on appeal by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council), Mr. Ridsdale was directed to remove the crucifix from his church of St. Peter's, Folkestone. The monition having been disobeyed, further proceedings were recently taken to enforce the obedience, in consequence of which Mr.

Kidfdale has written to the proctors for the com-plainauts certifying them that he has now caused the crucifix to be removed. Dr. Moffat on the Zulu War. Dr. Moffat, speaking at a missionary meeting at Henley-on-Thames on Tuesday, ondemued the Zulu war as brutal and unjust.

He said he admired Sir Hartle Frere as a Christian, but he never imagined that he would have precipitated the war as he did, To dmaud of Cetewayo, as Sir Bartle Frere did in his ultimatum, that be should disband his army, was nothing short of an insult to the Zulu Kiug, and he did not know any African chief who would not have resented such a demand. His conviction was that the war would last a long time yet, as Cetewayo had nothing to fear. If compelled to retreat he could easily overcome the tribes behind him, and could go back as far as the Zambesi. It would require many thousands of soldiers to be maintained there for some years if he was to be kept back. The Rev.

An extraordinay scene was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators near Penzance on Saturday week, on the occasion of the French brig Ponthieu going ashore during a strong wind. The workers of the Marazion rocket apparatus succeeded in throwing a line ever her, but the crew being ignorant how to work the apparatus, fastened the line on board instead of hauling it in. One of the crew, however, hauled himself ashore by the line. The Penzance lifeboat was then got alongside, but the crew were forbidden by the captain to leave cr even throw a line to the lifeboat. The lifeboat wns even warned off, and had to leave, but the coxswain determined to return, as the storm was increasing, the vessel must break up, and tbe crew utiist inevitably perish.

This time five of the crew jumped off aud were picked up, but the captain still refused to leave. A coastguarcUman named Gould, went along the rocket-line, Bubinerged by the waves for seconds at time, to give the captain a letter from the French Consul urging the captain to leave, but the captain would lend him uo aid, even when under his very bows, and Gould was washed away, and only just managed to save his own life. The vessel then commenced breaking up, and the captain was believed to have sunk, when, at the vcij laet moment, after having held a rocket-line for a quarter of an hour irresolute whether to useit or to sink with his ship, he fastened it round him, and was dragged ashore. The cheers which greeted the captain's rescue were by 110 means so hearty as those which had welcomed the return of Gould, whoBe life had been risked in attempting to save him. Within an hour there was not a sign of the brig left but a few scattered spars.

Cruelty to a Racehorse. Levi agger was charged at the local Petty Sessions, on Wednesday, with having cruelly spurred Fitzroy, a horse ridden by bim at the recent Ainsdale Races. Two officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals proved that the accused spurred his horse right past the winning-post, although he came iu a bad third, some distance behind the first two horses. The animal's sides were badly punctured and covered with patches of blood as larg6 as a man's hand. The Society contended that the spurring was unnecessary under the circumstances.

The magistrates took the same view, and couvicted the accused, fining him including costs. Commutation of Sentence. The sentence of death passed on Emma Wade, at the recent Lincoln Assizes, for the murder of her child at Stamford, has been commuted to one of 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour.
