101 The Pan-Anglican Synod.—This and many other re-
ferences point to the Pan-Anglican Synod which commenced
its sittings at Lambeth Palace on September 24. Nearly
eighty bishops took part in it, English, Irish, Scottish, Co-
lonial, and American. They discussed the best way of pro-
moting the re-union of Christendom and other topics, but
there seems to have been an impression that the practical
results of the Synod were inconsiderable.
107 Cave Canem, or Dog(Berry) Law.—A decision had
been given at one of the London Police Courts which vir-
tually amounted to this, that the owner of a dog was not
liable for its first bite.
115 New Meaning.—Mr. J. J. Mechi has a Model Earm at
Tiptree, Essex.
116 The Greatest Achievement on Record.—Colonel Peak-
son’s celebrated mare Achievement won the St. Leger this
year, besides other great races.
119 The New Monthly.—'Virtue & Co. were the publishers
of Saint Paul's (now defunct).
122 Your Attention is Requested.—This and many other
references attest the interest felt in the Abyssinian Expedi-
tion now projected. See “Introduction.” (Lord Longeord
was Under-Secretary of State for War.)
133 The Zu-lulogical Difficulty.—The position of the
Church in Natal, of which Dr. Colenso was Bishop, was
one of the subjects discussed at the Pan-Anglican Synod.
133 The Arrest of Sinalunga.—Garibaldi had been ar-
rested at Sinalunga, Arezzo. (See “ Introduction.”)
136 The Fenian Handcuffs.—Objection was taken by their
counsel to the Fenians implicated in the Manchester mur-
der retaining their handcuffs while under examination in
the Police-court, but Mr. Fowler, the stipendiary magis-
trate, refused to let them be removed.
153 j Epigram by a Moosoo. ) Refer to the so-called New-
177 (“Blaise?—Blazes!!” j ton-Pascal correspond-
ence (“Letters written by Newton and some of his most
famous contemporaries, and including, in particular, a cor-
respondence supposed to have passed between him and
Pascal ”) said to have been discovered in France. These
letters raised the question whether Newton was the original
discoverer of the Law of Gravitation, or whether he was not
indebted for it to the inspiration of Pascal. The conclusion
come to by Sir David Brewster and other eminent
authorities was, that the letters were fabrications—a judg-
ment which was afterwards completely substantiated.
164 A Joint Undertaking.—This was a Cheap Dining Com-
pany.
164 A Legacy for New Brooms.—Lord Brougham had writ-
ten as follows to one of the papers, ‘ ‘ Lord Brougham has at-
tained his ninetieth year, and is anxious abou: the course
things are to take after him. His most important death-
bed legacy is the repression of electoral corruptions. These
want no new laws, but the vigorous improvement of the
existing laws. The law is clear that the ex-official power is
sufficient to arm the Government with all proper authority.”
167 Aspect of the Political Horizon in Austria.—Baron
(afterwards Count) von Beust, the Austrian Premier. Some
of his liberal measures aroused the greatest hostility on the
part of the Roman Catholic Clergy. (Count Beust is now
(1876) the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador in London.)

Friends,” p. 174, and “The Miller and his Men,” p. 177).
A fight for the Championship of the Prize Ring had been
arranged between Mace and O’Baldwin, but was prevented
by the arrest of Mace. He appeared at Bow Street before
the late Sir Thomas Henry, and was liberated on moderate
bail, giving a promise that the fight should not come off.
Theatrical.—Adah Menken, an American actress find 174

clothing. Some verses by her have been published.
The Life and Death of Curragh Wren.—There had 175
been some sad disclosures (in the Pall Mall Gazette) as to
the wretched state of the miserable girls who haunted the
borders of the Curragh camp in Ireland. These unhappy

they made and covered with whins and mud. One of them
died and was the subject of an Inquest.
