LOAD-Li
Mr. Plimsoll delivered an address on the qui
of the load-line before a nutnerons assembly at
Insisting on the necessity for the adoption of
nite load-line, he quoted a number of authorities oa
the systematic overloading of vessel* trading to and
from English ports. I n the oonrse of hi* epaeoh 1 he
hod..gentleman read the following letter from a
seaman who was drowned on t h * day following ! that
on whioh the letter was wri ten t
" S i r , — I wish you would d r a v attention to steamboa s oamiug to England from Spain loaded [with
copper ore.
Is is scandalous the way in whioh
some of them are loaded, with only a few inches
freeboard. I wish t j God that you get your b i l
through for a load-line, for u n t i l then many a poor
fellow w i l l meet with a watery grave through
the greediness ot shipowner*
I have come over
aoross the Bay ot Bisoay i n steamers when I
never expected to see home any more. I t is not
the captains' fault.
I f they do not load them as
deep as other vessels, the owner will soon find men
who w i l l . Do, for God's sake, dear sir, t r y what you
can do for us. I dare not sign my name, for I should
never gat a ship again. I am, dear sir, your obedient
servant,
" MATS o r A STSAMEB "
Mr. Plimsoll also read the following extracts from
a letter he had received from Sir Henry Eliot, her
Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople: "Dear M r .
Plimsoll,— . . . You ask whether I have. ob.
eerred that English vessels were frequently over­
loaded. . . I have no hesitation in saving that I have
constantly seen English skips pass so deep i n the
water that they looked to me quite unfit to face bad
weather. Last year a considerable number of vessels
passed with a more or leak serious list, showing that
the cartro had shifted i n the short passage aoross the
BiltioSea,"
,
Tha multitude o' eases of overloadieg, attended by
the moat disastrous eeosequenoes, which had come to
his knowledge, and the heartrending tetters whioh he
occasionally received from widowed women, women
who had lest their sens, and sometimes from friends
ot people in this condition, detailing the sad incidents
attending the l o w of those who were dear to them,
and upon whom they ware dependent for their
subsistence—-presented t o his mind, a very strong
temptation to enlarge his speeah by giving some
of them i n detail. Ho trusted that the effect ot
this and other similar addressee would be t o bring
about a happier state of things, and to hasten the
time whioh he, at least, believed to be not far
distant, when o u r hardy mariners should pursue
their most useful aad laborious calling w i t h a*
much Safety a* attended their easier i f leas exciting
work ashore.

whioh is unprecedented,'' Mr. Simmons, the aronaut,
writes t Oa October 10, 1860,1 ascended from Peekskill, N . T . , and deeoended at Bedford, N . Y . , a
distance of 17 mile* i n seven minutes, aa I left Peckskill at 5 p.m. and descended at Bedford at

On July 4, 1865,1 ascended a t Bath at

Spalding, and traversed from Surfleet to near Great
Grimsby, a distance of 65 miles, i n 50 minutes. I t
is important (adds M r . Simmons) that instruments

P YR E T I C S A L I N E . — I n the case o f " L a m plough

Boll* on the 19th January, M r . Dondss Gardiner
moved for aa injunction to restrain the defendant
from oon tinning to use the name of " Pyretic Saline "
or " Pyretic " t o n composition manufactured and
sold by him.
The learned counsel said that plaintiff
was a chemist in Holborn, London, who manufactured
and sold large quantities of aa efsrvseeing powder
which he called " Lamplough's Pjratio Saline." The
defendant, Thomas Gilks Gibbons, a chemist, of
Market-street, Manchester, had recently oommenoed
to prepare aad sell, under t h * ansa* of " Pyretic
Saline," an article not possessing the same medioinal
qualities aa the plaintiff' a. Th* defendant, however,
now submitted to a perpetual injunotion with costs.
Mr. H . Alex. Giffard said he appeared for t h * de­
fendant, aad consented to aa injunotion. T h * de­
fendant had, i d using the word " p y r e t i e " i n i t *

THE
ESSE
ALT
PROCESSION
IN
LONDON.
U was arranged among the various " Magna
Charts Associations " of the metropolis to take ad­
vantage of t h * opening of Parliament t i m v k e a great
demonstration i n support of Dr. Kenealy, M.P , and
escort him to Westminster. Inaeoordaao* wr.a that
intention a very large number of p T . o a s met on
Tuesday morning about twelve o'olook, sear X» d,
Tavistock-square, where Dr. Keneely resides,
raey
represents 1 Magna Chart* Associations i n all part*
of London, each bearing i n front a banner. Among the
Inscription* on these were the following: " West­
minster will never rest u n t i l Tiahborae is released."
"Our
objects are t o release Tiohborne, triennial
Parliaments, and prosperity generally.*' " Success to
Dr. Keneely and Sir B>ger richborne," hx The palioe
appear to have h i d no orders to interfere with t h *
procession as long as i t was oondu jtsd i n an orderly
manner ; and, indeed, u n t i l i t neerel the Houses o f
Parliament i t reoeived no oheok at a i l .
A orowd
gathered around Dr. Ksnealy's house, aad at length,
in. response to the loud cries for the doctor, M r .
Willis oame forward oa the biloony of the house,
and expressed his regret that Dr. Kan**ly'* health
would not allow him to make an open-air speech.
He wa* quite sure, however, that every one present
would be glad for h i m t o reserve his strength for
the time ot t r i a l he would bar*
to
go
through i n the Heuse of' Commons.
Bat
they had a noble substitute present i n the person
of M r . Ahmsd Klenaaly, who won d address them.
Mr. Ahmed Kenealy, who waa reoeived with ap­
plause, expressed h i * pleasure at seeing so many
people there, and said they would b* told the next
day i n the newspaper* that they were the great un­
washed. I t did him good to w e eo many thousand*
of noble aad intelligent people there to protest
against what they considered to be one ot t h *
greatest crimes that had ever disgraced the judicial
annals of t h i * country. The man and women ot
London were determined t o do their duty i n t h *
matter, u n t i l they had effected the releasecf Sir Soger
Tiohborne, and u n t i l every article of the Magna
Charts, pro»n»mme had been introdaoed into th*
statnte-bookof thisoonntry. Dr. Beaealy thea stepped
out on the balcony, amid repeated applause, and
bowed, a perfect forest of hate being wave" at h i *
appearance. T v o open carriages then drove ap to
too door. The first wa* drawn by four gray horses
and had two outriders dressed for the oocasion with
coloured rosettes on their whip*.

Fleet-street, and t h * Strand, to Cfa*riag cross,
th* various band* perf or mine various tan**, which
ware finally merged into " See the Conquering Hero
Come*." As they neared Cbaring-erose, test down
Whitehall, a serried rank of polise, headed by
mounted constables, aad backed i n the distance by
a troop of Life Guards, showed that the procession
would not have a l l its own way. Indeed, the order
was quickly given t o stop a l l b u t to* oosnpaats of
the carriage*. As t h * Brat carriage approached too
Whitehall barrier the shouts of th* spectators ltd
to an impression that D r . Kenealy wa* on* of it*
occupant*, and Captain Harris motioned to his men
t o ' a l l o w i t to enter the privileged enolosurs.
I t had aoaroely cleared the barrier when the
carriage which really contained D r . Kenedy ap.
proached, and the doctor, standing erect, daiaarndad
in stentorian tones to be allowed to pens a* a member
to tha British Hons* of Commons.
Thereupon
Captain Harris, despatching two mounted offioers in
pursuit of the first carriage, himeelf followed, and,
overtaking i t before reaching the end of Parliamentstreet, brought i t back down Whitehall, and passed
i t out behind the barrier, amid t h * derisive shouts
of tha bvstanders.
M . P A U L D E C A S S A O N A O . — M . P a u l de Oatrsagnao ha* issued an address to the rise tors of

two Emperors, who died i n exile, martyrs to their
love of t h * people—" viotion of feudal Europe"—
who sought t o destroy in their persons " the apostle*
of national sovereignty, the right of modern socie­
ties," then he call* on them to vote for him, and for

that the defendant waa charging the mob w i t h tit*

Th* defendant said he was now vary sorry. M r .
Flowers said ho should have thought that when the
Queen waa opening Parliament ao t r u l y loyal sub­
ject would have endeavoured to got up a prooession
of his own unless t t wa* to satisfy a ridiculous
vanity. Several other roughs, who either took part
in the same prooession, or war* hidden among the
spectators, war* oharged with picking, or attempt­

P A I N F U L S U I C I D E AT B R I S T O L . — A painful
feeling ha* been produced at Bristol by the suicide
of Mis* Luke, t h * Samatary of the Bristol aad
Clifton Women'* Suffrage Association, within a few
days of tha members holding their annual meeting.
At the ooroner's inquest, held on Saturday, aa extra­
ordinary letter written by dsosaesd prior to her
leaving her residence wa* read, i n which she l a i d ,
" I have been mad for several weeks, b u t I have con­
cealed i t . M y difficulties have turned my brain, and
I shall—I must die. M y mother's address is «5,
Swinbourns-road, Deptfoid."
Miss Priestmaa, •
member ot tha Women'* Suffrage Association, de­
posed that the deceased had lately been sutTsring
greatly from nervous depression, and particularly ao
when she last saw bar. I t ha* been further stated
that the unfortunate young lady waa possessed of
superior intelleotual powers, and bad frequently
given lectures at sonools aad other planes in Clifton
and neighbourhood. D a r i n g too peat week, however, her eooentrioity of manner had been noticed by
her friends.
A verdiot i n accordance w i t h these
fact* wa* returned.
C A S E O P M I S T A K E N I D E N T I T Y . — A ease o f
mistaken identity, whioh, though satisfactorily
oleared up in the end, threatened at one time to pro­
duce very unpleasant oon sequences to one of t h *
parties concerned, has occurred a t th* Mancheater
City Polioe-oourt. Polioe-oonetable Anton, of t h *
A division, took a woman named Mary Ellis into
oustody, i n Daansgate, for disorderly oondnet. A t
the Polios Station ah* waa baited out by one Mary
Donoghue, who, attending court to see how the case
went on, was, vary muoh to bar surprise, put into
the dock by Anton, under the belief that ah* wa*
his prisoner. H e waa then proceeding to state
the oharge to t h * magistrate (Mr. Headier*), bat
was interrupted by Danoghne's earnest protest that
•he was not h i * prisoner. M r . Headlam requested
Anton to look at th* woman again, aad be sure t h a i
th* wa* the person against whom th* charge ought
to be made. The constable said he wa* quit* sure
she waa the woman he had apprehended, and repeated
the charge. Donoghue again protested that a mis­
take bad bean mad* l a identity, and i t btiug than
found that she was right and t h * constable wa*
wrong, she wa* set at liberty. Soon afterwards EiHs
appeared i n court, and waa placed where her friend
had been before; b u t her offence not having been
a serious one, she wa* discharged, aad M r . Head­
lam remarked oa th* desirableness of great ears being
taken by polios man i n regard to t h * identity of their
prisoner*.
