BILZICIVLOLDIIIII FOB THE Swiss ABXlr.—We read in tha Joan& de 0f.214Ve :—" The Federal commis- sion of experta,appointed to study the various breech loading mew met, op Fgisl&y last, .at Berne, and had a conferences with the commission of tactics. It reeolTed to recommenst to, the Federal authorities the introduction throughout the whole of the Swiss army of the Win chester reting ride, or Henry American rifle. This arm, accoemtgp to the statement of one of the members of the oommiesien, is these pies Mara of the improvement introduced slowly sad judiciously by American genius into the aces mail in the present day. The mechanism is of admirable simplicity, and the results obtained have been mac li remarked. The whole Federal army would be provided frith this arm, which would be the same for carbineemend infiutry, with the exception of some modi fications d detail, as the double trigger, &o. This trans formation would occasion an expense of ten millions." RISTOIIi IN NEW EN/IL/RD.—The SUCCESS •of Ristori in. New England is hardl_ behind that which crowned bet season in New York. The Bostonians went into raptures over her, and what is better still, they poured out their dollen liberally. The receipts for lest week's peeformanme were over fifteen thousand dollars. In Pro vidence, where she platys to-morrow evening, there was almost a collision at the ticket Office on Saturday, which necessitated the intervention of the police to keep the eager purchasers in order. From what we learn of the second New York season, which commences at the Frock theatre on Monday next, there will be no abatement in the Ristori enthusiasm ; for we believe that the subscription and sale of seats now going on at the Broadway ticket office already exceed thoee of the first season. Riatori is, indeed, the great reformer of the American stage. We looked to the clergy to help us in its reformation ; but they are lost in the maze of politics. However, with Ristori and Dawison we can get along without the parsons —Noe York lirrald. RUSSIAN CLEMENCY.—The Mats speaking of the amneetty and commutation of punishment accorded by the Emperor . of Russia on the occasion of the young prince's marriage, observes :—" The penalty of hard labour for life, aggravated by subjection to flogging, is reduced to fifteen yetars for convicts belonging to the class of Poles who toolr,part in the insurrection. Those sentenced for limited periods are to receive a remission of one-third of the time. As there may be persons disposed to admire these acts of clemency, it is proper to remark that the favour promised exists only upon paper, and that the commuta tions announced in the imperial manifesto are almost illusory. Men sufficiently robust to support during fifteen years, or even for a shorter time, the system of bard labour in the mines, with the addition of being flogged, are sufficiently few in number to warrant us in saying that not many will profit by the benefits of this manifesto. The clemency of the Emperor of Russia will be confined almost to tiro dead." THE NOVEMBER METEORS.—A CAPTIOUS SCOT. —We heard of one poor man in a remote district of Kin cardineshire who would not appear to have been prepared by previous reading for the phenomenon, and who imag ined the end of the world was at band. Having had occa sion to be out of doors about 1 o'clock, when it was at the brightest, he ran and aroused his nearest neighbour and warned him to prepare for the dissolution of this material world and its inhabitants. However, his neigh bour appears to have "taken in a paper," or by some means had become acquainted with what was expected, and, alter some explanations, managed to calm his fears to some extent ; although he was not altogether convinced, remarking that they had assurance that the world would not again be destroyed by water, but there was nothing said about its not being destroyed by fire. When our friend arose in the morning, everything around appeared to be much the same as he left it on the previous evening, but, not content with this, lie must needs " saddle is beast and ride doun to Stanebive and see if it was safe, and if it would be worth his while gaen doun wi' his puekle corn on Thursday."—Stoueluaren Journal. MAHOMEDANS AND CHRIsTIANS.—Syud Ahmed Khan Itahadoor of Allyghur, in his Institute Journal, gives his opinion as to whether the 3lalioniedans are allowed by their religion to eat with Christians provided there be nothing forbidden among the victuals, such as bog's flesh, spirits, Ike. He thus answers the important question: " Yes, such social intercourse is quite lawful. The divines and other learned men of old have ever held it to be so, and the Mabomedans of the present stronghold of Islam, European and Asiatic Turkey, do not scruple to eat food prepared by Christians. The Mahomedans settled in India have adopted many of the usages peculiar to the Ilindooe, and thus they alone of all the followers of the prophet refrain from partaking of food pre pared by Christians, although their law does not im pose upon them any prohibition regarding such food, provided it does not consist of anything forbidder.. God says in the Holy Koran, chapter V., v. This day are ye allowed to cat such things as are good and the food of those to whom Scriptures were given as also allowed as lawful unto you and your food is allowed as lawful unto them.' By food is here meant, says Ildrawee in his com n.entary on the Holy Koran, slain animals anti all kinds of meat generally. And he explains the possessors of Scriptures here spoken of to be the Jews and Christians. It is stated in the Alamo Dowd, also a compilation of the layings of our Prophet, in the chapter which treats of feasts, that it is lawful to partake of the feast offered by a rich man, a Jew, and • Christian." According to the Koran, as according to Hindoo Mattress, there are many things permissible, but custom is a stubborn thing.— Ifireloo Perrier (Native Journal). A COLLIER'S IDEA OF A WIFE'S DUTIES.—AN AMUSING SccvE.—A few days ago a couple went to be mar ried at a village church near Wakefield. The bridegroom was a miner and was evidently one of the most ignorant of his class; and his intended spouse was one in the sam e station of life. The ceremony proceeded uninterruptedly until the question was put—" Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife Y' At this point the man turned round to the woman, and to the intense horror of the officiating minister, coolly asked her—" Wi to clean mi booitsr The bride vouchsafed no answer to the interrogation, although repeated three times, each time with greater emphasis and fince, before the clergyman recovered from his surprise, and ordered the " fratching pair" out of the edifice. This was an eventuality as astounding and as un expected to the bridegroom as his own conduct had been to the parson, but it had the effect of bringing him to his senses, and he piteously begged of the clerk to ask the minister to come back, promising most abjectly to go through the ceremony all rect." He was nobbat an ignorant mon, be said, and didn't naw be wor dein' wrung. The fact wor he and his nasals had had money • rumpus about booit cleanin' job and he'd sworn he'd ne'er wed her if she did'na promise to fettleem. The clergyman was at last induced to return, and after reading the couple • lecture on the sacredness of the ceremony they were about to go through, and the solemn character of the building in which they were, proceeded with the service, and the two were made one, the " booit" controversy being adjoained sine die. It is to be hoped that when resumed the " booit" itself will not be turned into a powerful auxiliary in the discussion.—Wakefiefd Journal. The Neteburaport Beratd tells a story of a newly married couple who attended a launch in that city. A staging gave way and let the gentleman into the water. Before be was rescued his wig came off and floated away. When he was pulled out, bald and drenched, his wife re fused to recognise him, and besought the crowd that they would save her husband, pointing frantically to • bunch et heir drifting down the tide.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the Finance Minister brought in a bill regulating the pensions and allowances to the leaders of the Prussian army during the late war. The Minister also asked that one and a half million thalers might be set apart out of the war indemnities for disposal by his Majesty the King. After a lengthened debate, the bill was referred to a special committee. The house resolved that the President should conduct the preliminary debate upon the budget, and that no reporters should be appointed for the different branches of the budget. THE SAXON CHAMBERS.

THE BRAZILS. (By Telegraph from Lisbon.) MONTEVIDEO, Ocr. 17. According to despatches received here from Paraguayan sources, the defeat at Curupaity has caused complete disunion among the leaders of the Triple Alliance. General Flores has been in this city since the 29th Sept. Senor Almeida, the Brazilian commissioner, has left the seat of war, and gone to Rio de Janeiro, without touching at Buenos Ayres. General Mitre has evacuated Curuzu, and left with the rest of the army for Tuguty. He had refused to avail himself of the Brazilian transports offered by General Tamandare for the conveyance of his troops. No fresh enter prise has been attempted by the Brazilian fleet which is stationed at Curuzu. AMERICA. On ATLANTIC TT.LEGRAPII.) NEW YORK, Nov. 15, Eva :co. _ _ Gold, 143 g.

Emile de Girardin continues valiantly to fight in the Libert4 against the project of increased armaments, which is now generally understood to be the real meaning of that " reorganisation of the army," which at first might be supposed to refer only to an improved mode of recruiting and the introduction of the needle-gun. He expresses astonishment that the Praise, now the property of the bold speculator Mires, the founder of the Caine des Chemins de Fer, the promoter of the Ports de Marseille, the Roman railways, itc., should be so far carried away under its new manage- ment by the ruling passion of the hour in govern ment circles as to preach the " danger of too many public works" only as an auxiliary to arguments in favour of an augmentation of the army. France has only half the mileage of railway lines which England has, and five times less than that of the United States. Her ordinary roads, canals, and ports are far from sufficient. To raise more sol diers is to take away the hands wanted to complete necessary public works. When the Prease cries, "Beware of public works," it says in reality, " Beware of plenty of work ; beware of prosperity." Whereas it would do better service to say, " Beware of commercial crises ; beware of revo lutions." The Liberii daily cites opinions of the provincial press against levies of more soldiers. The Consti tution ceduzerre, quoted to-day, says the very same obvious thing which the Courser Francais repro duced from my correspondence three months ago, namely, that France was perfectly secure from any aggression, and could only require an augmenta tion of her already very large army with a view to a war of her own initiating. The surprise felt at the warm, not to say enthu siastic, reception given to Victor Emmanuel in Venice by the patriarch, Archbishop Trevisanto, is dispelled by the news that he only acted under the express orders of the Popo. His Holiness, shortly before Victor Enuu;nuers triumphal entry , into Venice, intimated to the Venetian bishops that inasmuch as all powers I that be are ordained of God, and that the rule of Victor Emmanuel in Venetia was manifestly attri butable to the " impenetrable decrees of Pro- vidence," it was their duty to receive him with the I respect due to a lawful sovereign. This precedent comes very apropos for the solution of the impend ing difficulty in Rome. There are no limits to miracles, and it will obviously be easy for the Pope ' to say, when the proper time comes, that impene trable decrees of Providence make it fit and proper for him to admit a state of things hitherto held to be within the non postumus. No less than one hundred and fifty packing cases of flowers were sent by railway to Compi;igne to be presented to the Empress on her fête day (Nov. 15) by the guests now staying at the Chateau. What a fatiguing task for her Majesty to appear agreeably " surprised" at the presentation of each bouquet! The Patrie announces that General Dix, the newly appointed envoy of the United States to the Tuileries, has arrived in Paris. Ido not think he was expected so soon,Tiiid - r - a - wait confirmation of the news. _ _ . The half-monthly settlement at the Bourse ter mivated with considerable heaviness. Bente fell 10c. for cash and 121 c. for account, closing at 69fr. 50c., and 69fr. 31 . c. ; Italian fell 65c. ; Mobilier, llfr. 75c. ; and Credit Foncier, 3fr. 25c. An impression prevails that the Credit Foncier and Societe Immobiliere, which have been notoriously buying Ilente in order to produce a fictitious rise in the market to favour their own combinations, have gone as far in that direction as they can, and that a reaction must come. It is very doubtful whether any of the recent projects of the great companies will succeed. THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL DRESS.—A walk on this cold day through the streets of St. Petersburg allonled a good opportunity of viewing the Russians in their national dress. Of course I mean their winter costume—the summer being too short and too capricious to affect the habits of the people. The upper Mance wear the costume of western countries. The only exception is a round, low, fur oap, frequently seen on the heads of ladies as well as gentlemen. in its rough shaggiuess it charmingly seta off the delicate features of the sex. Tu protect the head is also the purpose of a sort of cowl or hood, similar to those on the bournous of the Bedouin and not unlike a diwiuutive specimen of the same genus occa sionally fastened to opens cloaks. Its merit consists in that it forms a light and continuous protection to the hail and neck alike. This piece of raiment, in other countries more elegant than useful, is so indispensable here that no little ingenuity is expended upon it by tailors and modistes. I have seen them in all colours and with all manner of trimming. lied cowls copiously adorned, black ones with elaborate patterns sewed upon them in green cord, and white ones the most luxurious of all, are met with at every pace in the fashionable quarters. Hata leaving the greater part of the head uncovered are comparatively rare, and at a dis count even among gentlemen. There is no trilling with this climate, and caps are the natural and appropriate gear in a country where one must always be prepared to en velope the whole upper part of the person iu the ample folds of a shawl, cowl, mantle, or the like. The over coats and cloaks of the ladies and gentlemen are of the ordinary cut, but mostly lined with fur. The fox and bear collars they exhibit are beauti ful enough to excite the envy of a Siberian prince. Strange to any, they are mostly imported from America, it being cheaper to convey the hi^es from New York and Montreal than from Irkutsk and Tobolsk to St. Petersburg. The lower classes, being unable to import their daily garments from over the sea, make shift with sheepskins, which, with the wool turned in, are worn by bath sexes, and form a long smooth foldlese casing for the body, causing men and women to look wonderfully alike. There is not much scope for variety either in dress or in occupation, with the thermometer habitually down to a frightful number of degrees below zero. A man in sheepskin and felts is one of the most unattractive sights imaginable. Not only are the proportions and symmetry of the human form utterly bidden from view, but worse still. the graceful flow of outline is buried in a shell as stiff as if turned in a lathe. There are other objections to the pastoral cha racter of this dress, not connected with zesthetical taste. A fur is dear, must last many years, and can be neither washed nor cleansed. Its leathery outside is apt to assume very different hues without the assistance of the dyer, but who can blame the poor people for adopting tLe only expedient for keeping warm The class worst off are those townspeople too citified to don sheepskin and too poor to wear more expensive furs. Of the women espe cially a great many seem to be in this troublesome dilemma between poverty and pride, and they prefer freezing to lowering themselves by apparel which would duce them to the level of the peasantry.—Letter from tnbr Nov. 13. A MURDER AND SUICIDE IN PARIS.—An extra ordinary murder and subside was committed in Paris yes terday. A stranger, carrying • rather voluminous parcel, entered a bath establishment in the Rue Racine, at about half-past Bin the evening, and, having remained for a con siderable timeinone of the private cabinets, the proprietor, fearing an accident, ordered the door to be opened, when the man was found to have opened a vein in his arm and to have bled to death in the water. The packet on being opened proved to contain the corpse of a male child about three months old, which had been suffocated. The man was a German tailor named Springer, residing in the Rue St. Honore; he lived is common with a young woman by whom he had the child in question, but for which he had always manifested a great aversion, in consequence of some doubts as to its paternity. He had murdered the infant at home during the absence of the mother, and then carried it to the bath where he committed suicide. [STAMPED, ld. ADDMOZW.I LITERARY. COPYBIOST. The following from the pen of Mr. W. Hep worth Dixon appears in the A 0401614111 of this day:— " Finding that during my absence from England the sub ject of literary copyright as between our own ootmtry and the United States has been occupying public attention, first at the Social Science meeting in where it was introduced by Mr. Anthony Trollops, after wards pretty generally in the London press, I am induced to say a few words about the state in which I found that question in the minds of authors, pub lishers, and legislators in America, and Fro far as a man could learn such a fact in travelling ever 10,000 miles of American ground, and mixing with all classes of the people) how it stands, generally, in the minds of the reading classes. On the whole, I think, we are nearer to a bettlement of this question than many per.. sons suppose. The authors, I can say with some confi dence, are with their English brethren, to a man. At Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, I had opportunities of talk in g oa this subject with such men se Longfellow, Agassiz Lowell, Emerson, Holmes, Boker, Bayard Taylor, Bo , wles, Richardson, Horace Greeley, and their like. These eminent men of killers net only feel, as we do here, the rank injustice done by the literary pirates on both sides of the Atlantic, but are prepared on all occasions warmly and stoutly vo urge their views on publishers and politicians. So far, then. as our lite rary fellows are concerned, we may rely on every assistance being given to us in our quest of justice. The publishers are not unanimous, though they are very nearly so. Two or three honsee—l need not name them—still persist in look ing at the question solely from the point of view of their own trading interests. That they &re p t= a great take in in policy, even as regards their a dvan I have no doubt after what I have seen ain't heard of the reprint trade in America,—such a mistake as our own Cornish people made when elansouring forth, righted wreck ing—each as our Norfolk people made when they protested against free imports of corn ; but, being blind to their true interests, and taking only the lowest trade view of their duty, these two or three. houses stand in the way of a complete unanimity among publishers. Messrs. Lippin cott and Co., of Philadelphia, the largest book-distributors in America, perhaps in the world, are strongly in favour of a copyright convention. I can assert the same of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields, of Boston ; and, indeed, of every libe ral and enlightened publishing firm in the States. It is the same with the proprietor* of periodicals. Mr. Leslie, a very large reprinter of English tales and novels, told me that he has found by long and large experience that it would be safer for him, as a publisher, to give the English writer a good price for his work than to steal it. The curse of all wrong-doing is, that more than one can ply the evil trade. Oar wreckers used to quarrel about their spoil, and would sometimee kill each other for a stolen article not worth a song. Pirates are proverbial for their frays and siolences. No thief is ever satisfied to see his neighbour prospering on the results of a common crime, and no reprinter can be sure that his fellow in the offence will not invade his frontier and seek to appropriate his gains. Thus, to use Mr. Leslie's own illustration, the trade of re- Printing. from English works is, at best, a gambling transac tion. Say be inlys(lor a email sum) from an English novelist the right to reprint a tale in one of his popular magazines. Before he has published half of it some one produces tie tale in full. He never can feel sure of his property he* his own. Every trade calculation has to be made in the face of this vitiating element. He can trust nobody, and he lives in a land where he cannot ask protection from the law. In fact, be has n 9 property in the work, though it may be necessary for him to risk upon the reproduction many thousands of dollars. The return for his risk is just as uncertain as if he walked into Moraliser's " hell " and staked his money on the red and black. The clever publishers of the States are now beginning to see that even on the low ground of their personal interests—and many of them, I noed not say, being gentlemen and scholars, take a far loftier view of this question—the need for a copyright law which should deal with in tellectual property, as the law deals with all other kinds of wealth, is extremely urgent. The politicians, so far so I could learn, from Secretary Seward and Vice-President Foster down to the humblest member of congress, have no antipathy to a copyright law as such. They may have doubts whether the reading classes are yet prepared to give up the use of stolen books. They may hesitate as to whether, in the present condition of feeling in America towards England, any attempt to do an act of justice and favour towards English writers would be popular. lint they do not argue for a continuance of the old piratical system on any pretended ground of right and honour. In face, they admit the wrong, and only profess to doubt whether ignorant men who like a bargain can be made to see that robbing an author of his property is not the best way of getting all the good out of him which he is capable of yielding to a moral tender of his work. They sec, however, that a change is coming. Tho man who likes a bargain and is willing to take it at his neighbour's cost, is not the best sort of citizen in a free commonwealth ; hence it is beginning to be seen that his preference for other people's property is not a passion to be gratified by the legislature at all times and seasons. The hr •in of America, it begins to be seen, has some right to consideration as well as the pocket. That reprint ing which was serviceable to the Ohio farmer is clearly injurious to the Cambridge poet or professor ; and when the latter rises up in the name of common right and com mon sense, his case is one that cannot be gainsaid. But for the unhappy differences which divide the two govern ments in the political field, this question might be set at rest. In the political circles of the United States — especially of the New England States—there ia, just now, a fussing passion of distrust and discontent, the deeper and fiercer from the love and reverence which it has fur a day displaced. The causes of this ill will are known to all my readers; enough that the feeling prevails, and that it puts an obstacle in the way of friendly intercourse and legislation. This animosity, I hope, will die away ; when the old friendly feeling shall have revived, a disposition to prepare a solution of this question will be found, I confi dently believe, among a large majority of the intellectual representatives of the New England States. In their hands this question lies." ist CONFERENCE OF THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER WITH THE CLEKET AND Lairv.—A conference of the clergy and laity of the dioc , se of Rochester with the bishop was held yesterday in the chapter-room of Rochester Cathe dral, the Right Rev. Dr. Wigram, Bishop of Rochester, presiding, supported by a number of the most influential clergymen and laymen of the city and neighbourhood, the chapter-room being crowded. The subjects on which dis cussion was invited were:—" 1. Private charity and the poor-dew. How to adjust the indulgence and exercise of Christian philanthropy with the operation of systematic legal relief. The rule of alnisgiving, especially in relation to the weekly offertory. 2. Recreation grounds, institu tions, lecture and reading-rooms, and benefit societies for the industrialclasees—how may they best beencouraged and regulated ? That kind and uniountuf enjoyable relaxation and friendly intercourse should be recognised and encouraged amongst neighbours on the Lord's Day!" Each subject was introduced by a clergyman and layman, Mr. Berney, and the Rev. C. R. Robinson introducing the first, and the Ven. Archdeacon Grant, LL.D., and Captain Drake the second, thevarious speakers following. The secoodsubject appeared to attract the greatest amount of interest, the various speakers, both lay and clerical, advocating the import ance of establishing reading-rooms, working men's in stitutes, asocial clubs, penny readings, concerts, skittle alleys, and other amusements, all of which had been found to result in the greatest benefit wherever tried. With regard to the relaxation to be observed on Sundays the Veu. Archdeacon Grant, in intro ducing the subject, spoke against the attempts to Judaise that day, which, under the Mosaic dispensation. was sim ply one of " rest," and nothing more. Religion and en joyment should never be separated, and therefore he spoke in favour of encouraging friendly intercourse on Sundays, the opening of rending-roo , ns under certain restrictions, the holding of religious public meetings, and ofdproviing public music of a sacred description. In the course the discussion which ensued several of the speakers expressed themselves in favour of the archdeacon's views, while nearly all condemned the rigid Judaical observance of Sun day. The conference lasted between three and four hours, and was remarkable for the complete accord which existed between clergy and ',shy on the various subjects under dia. cession. THE LATE Mr.. COBPF.N, M.P., AND THE LAND QEEsTioN.--The following is the copyof a letter forwarded by the late Mr. Cobden, hI.P., to Mr. It. It. Jones, of the Temple, a gentleman who endeavoured toforni a company for the purchase of land in Ireland :—" Midbust, 24th 1863.—Dear Sir,—l am obliged by your offer to send me your manuscript upon the subject of small landed properties. It is much to be regretted that you could not carry out your plan for the purchase and re tailing of land in Ireland. There is no doubt that it would have been useful and profitable. I am a trustee to the British Land Company, which has bought and disposed of a great quantity of building land, and I sometimes thick that it might extend its operations with advantase to agricultural land. Ido not expect any beneficial legis lation on the subject. There never was a time in our history when the proprietary class was so powerful as at present. Look at the passing of the poaching bill. The farmers and the middle-classes of the rural districts are quite powerless. The large owners rule through the tenants at will, and the small freeholders have all disap pes,ed. It is difficult to see how the tendency to mo nopoly in land can be checked.—l remain, truly yours, RICHARDCOBDIN." ADMIRALTY, Nov. 16. —APPOINTMENTS. —Lieu tenant R. H. Thornton, to the Liverpool.

On the motion of Mr. Casey, the follow ing was adopted unanimo u sly : " That the rule remain for consideration during the next six months, and that its adoption be recommended in the whole of the districts." Wit l / 1 3166e6661811ffe /3, relating to the entrance fees of I members, it wee resolved that the fee should in no tem be Imo then 2d., but that the amount should be guided by the funds in the bands of the emaciation. Mr. JAMISON said they bad 40,000 members in the moo elation' and as that number at a ld. each per month I would bring in more then 2,0001., he thought that a penny I would be sufficient.

Mr. Cesar said the conference was 2001. richer than at their last meeting. I The PRESIDIUM' observed that his late illness was the cause of Scotland being behind in her subscriptions.

As it is now unit. certain that, notwithstanding the counsels and the intrigues of the clerical party, the French goversaient will not seek. to disregard the obligations the Convention signed with 1 . the court of Florence imposes OD it, the ultramontenes take up other ground, and urge the Pope with all their power to escape by taght and exile from the _ _ . pretended danger; with which, according to them, le is threatened by his approaching isolation. A despatch from • Malta, received yesterday in Paris, already announces his e arrival at that residence for • date corresponding with that on which the French flag will be hauled down from , Fort tit.

THE BINHOP OF OXFORD AND THE REV.

LADY BOVILL'a NiunT-Si•IfOOL.— 1 )n Monday evening last, Lady,Rovill opened a night-school nt Worples dun, the intention being especially to give persons in the large pariah whose early education has been neglected, an opportunity of making up in some memoir , • fur this very sad deficiency. Monday night it may be remembered was extremely stormy, but Lady Bovill, acconlini; to a fixed in tention, met sonic sixty persons in the Werpleolon School room. She impressed upon those present the advantages of education for everyone in whatsoever ciao they might move, and ignored the poet's idea that " a I.ttle knowledge is a dangerous thing." She hoped that during the present winter many of them might spend happy and useful even. logs in the school-room, and promised th..t both she and other members of the family would take p.ot in their pro ceedings as often as possible. We may mention that this is the third winter a night school has been i...i lied on at Worplen.lon under Lady Bovill's superinteidenee. It met, and will now meet, twice a week, and it is seldom that either Lady Bovill or Miss Boyd' is missed amongst the teachers. Much 000 , 1 can already be traced to this school. In our own knowledge two labourers in the p.,riA now ad-, vanced in years are able both to read and write from in structions received there and given ill so kind:y a manner as quite to overcome the material restraint felt by those who have grown to manhood and womanhood hi ignorance. —Surrey Standard. nix Acci DENT TO MR.
