There is no regular publication ~not eron the London Gazetta- (that is less interesting and more formal than the "Fotes and Pro- ceedings" that appears on the morrow of every sitting of the House of Commons. It consists | largely of a list of official fappars and Bills presented to the Cham- ber, with the bare fact of the | business transaefed and the exact time of adjournment. That issued on the 27th ult, the last that will be signed "James William. Lowther, Speaker." differs from those for some 16 years. It con- tains the full speech of the central figure. of the sitting, the first and the last delivered by Mir. Lowther during his Speakership,| and the only deliverance so report- ed since Mr. Gully's retirement.

DISPUTED COAL CONTRACT.

Fuel for Europe. RESULT OF A HONGSONG TEST. In H. M. Supreme Court, Shanghai, on May 27, his Honour Judge Skinner Turner delivered judgment.in the case of the Sha Amalgamated Coal Co.

Denison (1837-1872) was of York- shire family, and derived his pri vate fortune from Yorkshire woollens, but by personal and political associations he was a Nottinghamshire man. Lefevre, perhaps the greatest Speaker of the Victorian era, was also of Yorksbito descent, but he was always closely associated] with Hampshire." The last York shireman, native to the soil, to fill the Speakership was probably Sir. Fletcher Norton, who was M.P. for Guildford when elected to the Chair in 1770, and who passed to the House of Lorda as Baron Graciles.
