General Booth made a grand parade of the Salvation Army in London on July 27th. Tbe object was to influenoe Parliament in view of tbe revelations made by^ the Pall Mall Gazette, to pass the proposed Criminal Amendment Act. The social ostracism of several well-known noblemen has followed the Gazette exposure. The Queen has.personally written So Mre. Booth, wife' -9f9 f cue Salvationist leader, conveying thestrongest sympathy w.ith.iueicreformJKQrk—

Mr. Spurgeon addressed an audience of 4000 at i Bremerton V 6n July 27 tb, his object being " Tbe traffic in young girls and tbe iniquity of IE"" In~*eon"sequence" of these revelations/of vice Jn London., meetings were being held all over the country in favor of the Criminal Law Amendment Act," "raising age of consent" to 16 yeers. Provincial papers give elaborate reports of these meetings, some of which are notable from tbe eminence of tbe speakers, and a- high character of tbe audiences, but tbe Lon-, don Press .completely ignores them.. Several divines have protested against! this silet.ce, arguing that ignoring the< facts furnished is an encouragement to evil doers. The outcome of the meeting of members oi Parliament,- -which was presided over by SamUel Morley, and attendants at which tbey pledged themselves to remain in London to. support the Criminal Amendment Bill is the approval of tbe bill by ,Sii; Ashtori Oross, Home Secretary. The 'Queen's, letter to Mrs. Booth referring to' this bill .Bays she feels deeply on the subject, ' but, acting under advice, must refrain from expressing an opinion on tbe subject, beoause it is a I matter before Parliament..

A fearful wave of beat extended .over tbe United Kingdom from July 24 to 28» In London the effects of the long 6peU of torrid weather were appalling, and everyone was more or less affected. Children died by hundreds, scores of men were prostrated by sunstroke eacn day, and the roads were often .blocked by horses falling dead., A new terror, was added, by the presence of hydrophobia. . Indeed, the streets were absolutely unsafe owing to tbe number of mad dogs running at large, and many persons, who pevdr carried weapons before, bought revolvers.

A movement has been started to, organise a Burue' Clab tbrbh&hout the 1 world, for the purpose of holding n centenoial celebration '&n honor of tbß» : ScPtoh -bard at Kilaiarnook next.yearsn: .! - ;

A^sensa-tion was created jin London fashionable circles on July, 22nd by a^ report of a fistic encounter between Lord LonsdaLe and Sir Qeo. Chetwynd.
