CHANGES IN THE CABINET. x ou -^iw i on g s i nce have received by the ) v\res the intelligence respecting the changes "iii the British Cabinet, but I will, recapitulate them ps they stand up to date. The President Lord Ripon retires, a step he has flong been anxious to take in consequence of pressure of private business. Mr Bruce is elevated to the "peerage, and succeeds Lord Ripon as president. Mr Lowe, of whom as Chancellor of the Exchequer folks arc some what lived, is to be inflicted upon the nation in the garb of Home Secretary ;he succeeds Mr Bruce in that office. Mi- Gladstone fills the two offices of Chancellor of the Exchequer and First Lord of the Treasury. This is by no means the first occasion on which the two offices have been held by one man ; the latest instances on which it occurred were Mr Canning in 1827, and Sir Robert Peel in 1834-5. Mr Childersretires, it wan whispered, on a pension; but this, I believe, is untrue, and Mr John Bright succeeds him as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Mr Ayrton is to bo Judge Advocate-General. Mr Dodson succeeds Mr Baxter, who has retired accord" ing to his own wish and arrangements, as Financial Secretary to the Treasury, and in consequence of the hard work which must follow upon the combination of offices held by Mr Gladstone, he will be assisted by Lord Frederick Cavendish. Mr Arthur Peel is to foe Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, Lord Wolverton, lately deceased ; and in recognition of his services Mr W. P. Adams is to be First Commissioner of Pub.H.c Works, whilst Mr Greville succeeds as Junior Lord of the Treasury. Then we have Sir George Jessel, appoint" i Master of the Bolls, upon which the Jeivish World remarks that it is "a remarkable and glorious event in the annals of Judaism." Ceifcainly the Jewish element is very strong in England, both commercially and politically, and it may fairly be said that it is to the advantage as well as credit of Great Biltain that such is the case. SUPPLY OF ICE. One of the greatest, but ucfoiounately at the same time one of the most expensive luxuries to be enjoyed in the colonies during the prevalence of the hot weather is the plentiful supply of ice. Most of the ice con sumed in England hitheifco has been im ported, whilst but a small amount has been manufactured. Lately a process of manu facture has been discovered which promises to bring ice within the reach of the means of all above the degree of paupers ; in fact to render it as cheap as water itself in London. Rees Recce's patent process of ice manufacture can turn out this valuable article at the price of rather less than five shillings per ton. About fifty lbs. weight of coal makes one thousand lbs. of ice, and the process consists in the alternate evaporation and condensation of liquified ammonia. A company has just been floated with a capital of £100,000 to purchase and work fche patent, and the patentee has sold to them all his rights, with the reservation of those in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. This will be a good chance for the employ ment of some Auckland unused capital. Auckland should float a company and pur chase the right of manufacture for the whole colony, so as to supply ice by steamer all over the Islands. duke of Edinburgh's marriage. The Duke of Edinburgh is to be mariied to the Grand Duchess Marie in January next at St. Petersburg. The rumour that Prince Arthur was betrothed to the Princess Thyra of Copenhagen, sister to the Princess Alex andra, although contradicted, is generally believed to be true ; at any rate it is ktiown that the young gentleman is considerable spooney in that quarter. THE EARL OF PEMBROKE'S DOCTOR.. Dr Kingsley, "the doctor" you know, in the "Earl o' the Doctor," has started ol on a new expedition into strange regions. This time he has got with him Lord Dunraven, and the district for which they are bound is that which is watered by the Yellow Stone River in North America. The I country is exceedingly wild and rough, and the adventurers will have to depend mainly upon their guns both for their sup plies and their own. protection. If the loctor gets through his new expedition well * will doubtless delight us with another ■".ant book. THE SMOKE NUISANCE. j\ -c some recollection of a discussion .. ■""« jlme since in Aucklond anent the L_nuisance, and it being then stated that the attempt to carry out the Smoke Nuisance Act in England had proved a failure. This is by no means the case. The invention now used for the consumption of. smoke is

ve>7 inexpensive, works well, and its use is enforced in .ill towns where the local autho i^ties care for the health and comfort of the people under their care

NEW STORY. << m,ss Braddon is writing a new talc entitled -Laken at the Flood," the first chapter of which is to appear simultaneously on the instant in several periodicals in England * ranee, Germany, Australia, and America.

TTT X E OVA L ACA TXEM V. The Archbishop of York has bren elected Houoraiy Chaplain to the Royal Academy m place of the late Bishop of Winchester. J.he receipts from the late Academy Exhibi tion amounted to between fifteen and sixteen thousand pounds.

BARON KRDraa's CONTRACT WITH THE SHAH, .baron Eeuter's engineers are said to be already very busy Purveying in Persia for the railway from Teheran to Enseli, on the Caspian Sea. There is a good deal of sur prise expressed at this line being first under taken since-it is said that it will place the capital and central provinces of Persia •wholly at the mercy of the Eussians, and one local opinion has gone so far as to say that as a consequence of this circumstance it will be the first and last railway completed in Persia. In the meantime other railways on the Caspian are being pushed forward "with great vigour by the Russians.

MARSHALL BAZATiS'tt's TOTAL Is rapidly approaching. The acte <Vaccusation accuses him with the highest offeuae known to the military code, the theory of the pro secution being that what happened afc Metz between the ISth August and 25th October was but a prolongation of Gravelotte. The trial is expected to last two months. A Paris correspondent says that the psycho logical, matrimonial, economicaland social, as well as the military and political antecedents of the accused, are to be gone into. Scenes and stormy incidents are anticipated, and for this contingency a double set of doors is to be provided so that the Court may be cleared speeedly if necessary.

TYPHOID FEVER IX LONDON. There has been a terrible outbreak of typhoid fever in a dislrict in Marylebone, London. A number of families suffered in several contiguous streets, and the cause could not for a long time be discovered, since the drainage and water supply were found to be perfect. It was however noticed tbat those persons only were attacked who used the supplied milk from a certain dairy, and on_ enquiry it transpired that the dairyman had died of typhoid fever, and that some of his family were ill at the time of the same complaint. Whether the milk had become infected from contact with the diseased persons, or whether the milk itself contained the germs of the fever, has not yet been ascertained satisfactorily ; but it has been the cause of much discussion on the question of whether the-use of sewage manures on pasture lands may not largely affect if not taint the milk of cattle fed on such grasses.

RITUALISM I.N T TIIR CirrXRCH OF ENGLAND

The Daily News has been taking up the question of auricular confession very warmly, and says that the Bishop ought to interfere, but that -with Huch friends to confession and Romish practices in high places as the Bishop of Chichester and others of the Episcopate, it is not to bo wondered at if the Church is departing from the principles of the -Reformation The bishops say that the remedy is in the hands of the laymen, but really unless the bishops refer to a stout cudgal or a heavy boot is is difficult to know what remedy they would hare laymen adopt. At present the country is full of regularly licensed father confessors; men who are supposed to have vivid imagina tions, and, to be able to invent elaborate questions relative to breaches of the seventh commandment both in the letter and in the spirit, and special " mission services " are got Tip for them in many places where their visits are received by the clergy Crowds of " patients " wait tbeir turn of questioning, and the "progress" of a confessor is more like that of a celebrated physician than a spiritual adviser. The patients are, of course, almost without exception, "silly women " who would be much better em ployed in looking after their household than indulgingthe prurient minds of gawky priests. DTSCOVKIUES IN GRECIAN HISTORY. It will interest many of your readers be sides schoolboys to know that a great deal of light will probably shortly be thrown upon the history of the Trojan war, concerning which probably there is more dispute than upon any other piece of doubtful his tory. Dr. Heinrieh, Schliematra, who has for years been excavating amongst the sup posed ruins of Troy, has come upon the remains of a building which he confidently affirms to have been the palace of Priam. He has discovered there a large deposit of treasure, consisting of helmet.3, shields, golden vessels, weapons, and inscribed tab lets, which have not yet been thoroughly examined, but which the doctor declares will finally and for ever settle the truth of the Homeric story. His letters, dated from Troy, 17th July last, have been published in the Augsburg Gazette, and are most hi teresting. ME TENNEY.SON OFFERED A BARONETCY. The poet laureate has declined the honour of a baronetcy which was offered him, so the rank is to be conferred upon his son, who is said to be an exceedingly promising young man, and is an Oxford undergraduate. CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS. From a late official return respecting the circulation of newspapers I find the total number of morning and evening papers circulated in London amounts daily to 509,000. Of this astounding number the Daily Telegraph contributes 170,000, the Standard 140,00 C, the Daily News 90,000, the Bclio 80,000, and the Times 70,000. The ancient saw about the archimedean lever, etc., was never truer than at the present moment. GIGANTIC BENEVOLENCE.' Mr .'fas. Baird, of Auchineddin, the Scotch ironmaster, is going to be a second Mr Pea body. He has just presented half a million of money, to be called the Baird Trust, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to religious purposes in connection with the Church of Scotland. This species of muni ficence is becoming somewhat common in these latter days. Millions are talked of and handled with as little respect as thousands or even hundreds by our grandfathers. THE ASHANTEE WAR. The Government seem to be about to act vigorously in the matter of the Ashantee invasion. Of course you will have had all the news about the reinforcements sent to Cape Coast Castle ; and now it appears that an expedition is to leave the Gold Coast to ; act upon the offensive, and read these black rascals a severe lesson I am afraid your troubles with the dark skins are likely to be of a more severe character even than those in West Africa, for the same number of Maoris would take more killing than Ashantees.
