LONDON GOSSIP.

One of the items of the social news is that the famous Broadley Pasha has ' gone under.' He has enjoyed for three or four years past a very exceptional position in the London world. Not only had he the influence naturally belonging to one who, rightly or wrongly, was courted as the de fcto director of the World newspaper, but he had the faculty of attaching himself to and " running" whomsoever was the mo.sfc amusing or useful person of the hour. He ran Augustus Hams when he came forward as the resurrection-man of Italian opera ; he ran Colonel North, the Nitrate King ; lastly, he ran Boulanger. He used likewise to run all the summer outdoor exhibitions. He had carle blanche at every fashionable restaurant to give what entertainments he fancied free, gratis, for nothing. He was en tvkJen c at every public festival and fete. He knew everyone in London, and all paid equal court to him. The most famous singers would perform at his parties for nothing. Beauties made love to him. politicans supplied, him , with information, city magnates gave him " tips ;" and now the end has come. Brofidley has left England for the Continent, and the World has announced in large letters that Mr A. M. Broadley had resigned his position on the World, and would have no further connection with the paper. The late Dr. Lightfoot, Bishop of Durham, was buried at Bishop Auckland. The body has been brought overnight from the mortuary at Bournemouth to the cathedral of the diocese, and after service in the morning it was removed for interment at the chapel. The obsequies were of an imposing character, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York taking part, and there being a very large attendance of Church dignitaries. At the hour of interment there were special services in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, and in Newcastle Cathedral. At one of the Viceregal balls in Dublin a young 'detrimental' came up to where a young lady was sitting, and asked her, in her mother's hearing, whether he might have the pleasure of a dance, But before the daughter could reply her fond parent hastily broke in, " Deed an' ye can't then ! Sure she's keeping herself cool for the Earl I of Clanfurly 1" An amateur lady artist sent as her birthday present to Mr. Gladstone a pretty sketch of the veteran statesman, sitting on the log of a tree which ho had just felled, with Ariel, clothed as a female sprite, hovering over him. Mr. Gladstone sent the following acknowledgment : — '• Dear Madam, — Many thanks for your most pleasing drawing. I had always considered Ariel as masculine, but probably you ar*fl right. — Yours faithfully and obediently, W. E. Gladstone,"
