tribute to his memory we have found in the Times , we are confident that from the Earl of Derby to the lag of the lower school , all generations , p ast and present , with whom , Flobeax Etowa is an abiding watchword , will cherish the memory of Keate , and the fond traditions of his severe and firm , but ever kindly and generous sway . And we may add that the rare merits and the eminent services of his successor in authority at Eton have especial claims upon the present Premier , who is himself an Eton man . Dr . Hawtrey has maintained the noblest school in England in the highest state of efficiency , and , as might have been expected from his own enlightened judgment and liberal taste , in harmony with the advanced spirit of our times . For all the best and heartiest elements in our aristocracy we may thank Eton ,- —the nursery of our caphers
tains , our statesmen , our poets , our philosop . " In Dr . Keate , " writes a correspondent to the Times , " Eton has lost the most distinguished of her scholars . During nearly a quarter of ft century he guided the studies and preserved the discipline of this school with unparalleled success . The vigour and accuracy of his scholarship , particularly in composition , was not more remarkable than his modesty , and the extent of his mental powers was less known than it might have been , only because a strong sense of duty disposed him to concentrate their whole force on the instruction of his- scholars . He was just and fearless in the exercise of authority . A certain sternness of manners veiled in a slight degree , but never concealed , a singular kindliness of heart , and few have ever obtained in the same position so much of the respect and affection of Eton boys and Eton men . " Peace be to his ashes !
Major-General Lacy , directorrgeneral of artillery , died at his official residence , at Woolwich , on Tuesday , after fifty-six years' service in the Boyal Artillery . Mashal Marmont died at Venice , on the 2 nd inst ., in the seventy-eighth year of his age . He was born at Chatillbn-sur-Seine , on the 20 th July , 1774 .

In the campaigns of 1805 J Marmont commanded a corps-d ' armee , and having invaded the Republic of Ragusa , and defeated the combined Russians and Montenegrins , he received from the Emperor the title of Duke of Ragusa . In 1812 , he was completely defeated by Wellington , at Salamanca ,
and was severely wounded by a sphnter from a shell , which rendered amputation of the right arm below the elbow necessary . In 1814 , he was operating on the JVfarne , in conjunction with Mortier , for the defence of France from the Allies , and was compelled to retreat on Paris . Ten days afterwards , he capitulated , and the next day marched out of Parisr He took the oath to Louis XVIII ., and kept it during the Hundred Days . It was his singular fate to surrender Paris a second time , in 1830 , when he had been entrusted by Charles X . with the command of all the troops . Since that period he never returned to France . Marmont was an accomplished scholar , and published an interesting volume of Travels in the East , and several works on Military Science .

are in fact . " A petition to that effect was adopted , and is to be entrusted to Mr . E . B . Denison , M . P ., for presentation . The town council of Salford , on Wednesday , after an animated discussion , affirmed the following proposition : — Proposed by Alderman Higgins , arid seconded by Councillor Langworthy , — " That inasmuch as there are two schemes . now before the public , and about to be discussed ia . Parliament ; having-for their object the better education of the children of the working classes , and both based
on a public rate , this council admits that there is great need of increased education amongst the working classes , and that it is desirable to supply the means by a public rate , to be limited in amount , and to be under local management . " The votes were seventeen for the motion ( including that of the mayor ) , and fourteen against it . Only one member of the council was absent , and all present voted . The assessment of the seventeen gentlemen who carried the motion is 9243 l . and of the fourteen who formed the minority , 1826 ? .
A public meeting in favour of the National Public School Association was held in the Exchange Hall , Nottingham , on Thursday week . Mr . Felkin , the Mayor , presided . The Rev . Mr . Stevenson , Baptist minister of Nottingham , moved , " That this meeting recognises A great deficiency in the existing supply of the means of popular instruction , and records its conviction that that need will be best met by a general system supported by local rates , and under local management , and that shall provide secular instruction only .

Mr . John M'Clean , the chief engineer of the Rose steamer , which trades between Bristol and Waterford , committed suicide by blowing his brains out in his own house at Bristol , on Friday week . He has left a wife and five children . Shortly after work had commenced on Tuesday morning at Mr . Edward Dorset's ' naphtha and tar works at Raven ' s Bond-creek , Deptford , an explosion took place , the premises burst into flames , and the combustible materials ran in liquid fire over the ground , and floating unextinguished on the water of tlie eveek , burnt one side of a sailing barge . Six engines arrived , and , after some _ hours' work , succeeded in preventing the iiro from spreading to any of the adjoining buildings . A great deal of property was destroyed , and thfi works wftpn not insured .
On last Sunday morning , there was such a disturbance created in the workhouse of the Pulham Union , Norfolk , by the able-bodied paupers , that it was found necessary to send for the police .

Tho room waa tastefully hung with flags , men in armour were in the passages , and a guard of honour , supplied by tho 3 rd regiment , tho Buffs , received tho guests of tho evening . Tho same authority from which wo gather tho abovo also states that tho Vengeance , 81 , and Terrible ( stoam frigate ) , left Malta on the 1 st instant . Tho sudden doparturo was matter of much speculation , and tho whereabouts being kept a profound secret , serves to increase tho wonder . England , however , is assigned to them by some , and Port Mahon by others . Tho Albion and Bellerophon lino-ofbattlo ships are also ordered to got ready for noa .

Maltby , " who waa thoroP" thoy managed to retire , carrying off with thoin tho bishop's purso .
