Up to the middle of the seventh day's watching, the Welsh fasting girl had not given in.. A physician from Carmarthen has visited her and reported that there are no signs of physical prostration. In fact, the fasting girl is "in a most satisfactory condition "—composed and very comfortable. The nurses report that there has been no attempt to convey sustenance to the child eandestinely, nor has she expressed the slightest wish to have food of any kind. On the other hand, the Lancet is enabled to state, on good authority, that no confidence can be placed in the statements which have been made re garding the fasting girl, as the committee of medical ,neon visiting the patient, as well as the nurses, are bound not to divulge anything they see or hear until the inquiry has ter minated. Of course (says our medical contempo rary) every precaution has been taken in the event of the girl showing symptoms of exhaustion, and the nurses have special instructions to administer stimulants and food, subject to the advice of the daily medical attendant. It does not appear that the girl was weighed prior to the commencement of the inquiry. It would have been interesting to have ascertained her condition in this respect at the end of the fortnight's experiment. EDWARD HARPER.. Secretary. 4, PATE AU DIABLE." TO-NIGHT, In the large Room EGYP'T'IAN HALL, Piccadilly. Plan of Stalls at Mitchell's Royal Library, Old Bond et reet. THE INDISrOSITION O^ MIL GLADSTONE. We regret to announce the indisposition of the Premier. The London journals yesterday affirmed that Mr. Gladstone attended Thursday's Cabinet Council. Even the Te!fg,aph stated so in one part of its columns; and the Daily News made a special note ot the fact that all the Ministers save the Duke ot Argyll—who is attending upon his sick Duchess, in Scotland—were present at Downing-street. The Tete/Imph, however, contradicts itself, and announces that Mr. Gladstone was on Thursday suffering so severely from a cold that he was unable to leave his private residence. It is to be hoped that he will not have a recurrence of those alarming symptoms of we' altneas that made his admirers so anxiouta few months ago. According to the 'Tablet, the Premier is suffering from an attack of bronchitis; but it is satisfactory to know that, according to last evening's Echo, Mr. Gladstone is much better. above Paste is a moat agreeable relish for t_ Luncheon, T3ronkfast, &e.

This medicine concentrates in a surprising manner all the artificial meaus of purifying, regulating, and strengthening - the animal powers. Holloway's pils have for many years enjoyed the most extensive patron age, and have had testimonials awarded to them which speaks volumes in their praise. In many cases these pills seem to exercise a specific effect over diseases, which is manifest by the comfortable feelings of the patient, and by the improvement in the character of all the secretions. The pills act mildly, yet effectually, on the bowels. All accounts represent Derry as wild with excite ment. The Apprentice Boys are resolved to hold their celebration ; the Defence Association wish to prevent them ; the Government, without interfering, is accumulating masses of infantry, cavalry, and police in the town for the purpose of keeping the peace. The Boys will not give way. Their plea is that they exhibit no party emblems andplay no party tunes ; that they only flaunt the crimson flag of Derry ; that there is nothing .n the celebration which ought to give offence. 'The Catholics, on their part, are not lees in earnest. Priests denounce the Orange celebration from the pulpit. Placards have been posted about the town entreating the members of the De fence Association to assemble at a certain place this morning. Another and later proclamation put forth by the same party is not at all calculated to allay agitation. It condemns the celebrations of vic tories won by English over Irish centuries ago as dis graceful, insulting, and calculated to pro - vohe breaches of the peace. Both Catholics and Protestants aro called upon to unite against such injustice :-- Shew a bold front to the men who glory in the murders of Drumaloor—a deed so infamous that the mind revolts from it in horror, and men ask, Is it possible in the 19th century that the British Government would allow this nest of murderers and assassins to exist among us? Catholics shot clown and murdered in the face of day when coming from a peaceful meeting, whose paramount object was the granting of "good things" to the wretched Orange serfs who assassinated their best and truest friends in so vile a manner. How - long is this to last ? Meanwhile the Administration holds aloof. Pre parations are made, but no force will be employed . unless the peace Lo broken. Earl Spencer has given a reply tothe memorialists who have urged him to prevent the celebration. his Excellency regrets that an association has been formed for the express purpose of preventing the . Orange rejoicings. He warns the members of such an organisation against taking the law into their own hands, Every reasonable precaution, says the Lord-Lieutenant, will be taken against disturbances. THE CATHOLIC CLERGY AND THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Though the Roman Catholic priests of Ireland have conjoined to a great extent in the condem nation of Fenianism, a strong party of them is in favour of relea,in the Fenian prisoners. 1)r. O'Brien, Dean of 'Limerick, has in three days received five hundreJ names to a declara tion setting forth that an amnesty to the Fenian prisoners would be accepted as a boon by the people of Ireland, and that the interests of the empire are endangered rather than served by a continu ance of "the policy i ' of severity." A declaration to the like effect is in course of signature by "the Roman Catholic clergymen in Ireland and Great Britain." The priests say, " A thorough knowledge of our flocks enable us to tvsure the Government that such an act of clemency will be received by the Irish people as a confirmation of the hope that an era of grace and justice has been inaugurated, and will tend to the consolidation and preservation of peace and order in the country." Amongst the number is Dean Mawe of Tralee, who has treated the sympathisers with Fenianism very severely. A. second list of names is to be published immediately. ANOTHER IRISH OUTRAGE. A shocking crime was perpetrated in King's County on Thursday night. The residence of Mr. O'Connor, Mooroch Lodge, was attacked by four men. Mrs. O'Connor opened. the door and was detained in the hall by one of the party, while the others went into her bedroom and took two guns. They then dragged Mr. O'Connor outside and cut off' his nose. One of the band has been captured. CONSERVATISM IN SOUTHWARK. Colonel Beresford, the Conservative member for Southwark, is hopeful of success at the coming con test. The district committees report that a large number of electors amongst the small trading and working classes, who have hitherto su pp or t e d Libe ral candidates, are so dissatisfied with the conduct of the Government in its treatment of the dockyard workmen, and in its intention of collecting the as sessed taxes in advance while trade is so-depressed, that they have pledged themselves to support Colonel Beresford. Several voluntary committees have been formed by these malcontents. The stumping of the Liberal candidates continues uninterruptedly. Sir F. Lycett has spoken, and like his competitors has been very careful not to pledge himself against releasing prisoners. the Fenian A ROMAN CATHOLIC VIEW OF PROTESTS AGAINST DR. TEMPLE. The Tablet—the Ultramontane organ in England.— shows an amusing scorn of the protests against Dr. Temple. It declares that it does not know what they imply :—" If we remember right, Dr. Words worth, then a Canon of Westminster, pub lished a similar protest when Dr. Stanley was made Dean. But what came of it ? No one forgets that when Dr. Sumner, as Archbishop of Canterbury, in obedience to the ro y a l mandate, instituted Mr. Gorham in Dr. Phillpott's teeth, the last-named prelate formally declared that he renounced communion with him. But what came of it ? Possibly Dr. Phillpotts may have de clined to dine with Dr. Sumner. That is the gravest consequence - which we can picture to ourselves as probable." DISENDOWMENT IN THE COLONIES. The Act passed by the Legislature of the Bahamas for the disendowment of the Church of England in that colony has just been issued by the Colonial Office. The preamble is simple enough. The reasons for disendowment are of the most primitive character. The colonial finances, it is set forth, were in a bad condition, and cutting off the maintenance of the Church was the best means of restoring them. A very large number of the inhabitants were connected with religious denominations which receive no State aid, and these persons found it burdensome to sup port their own churches voluntarily, and the Esta blishment by taxation. Therefore, &c., Q.E.D. THE RITUAL COMMISSION. The Record announces that the Ritual Commis sioners are still at work, that is to say, they are still meeting and parting, and meeting again. They have come together two or three times since the Archbishop gave them a spur to make more haste. In the Primate's absence they dawdle more than ever. Serious differences of opinion are found amongst them ; they hardly agree upon any important point ; and without Dr. Tait, they have no bond of conciliation, there is no centre of compromise. ' The only important decision to which they seem—so far as can be judged—to have come, is that on the revision of the Lectionary. But they have not, even on that subject, yet passed a final judgment. It is rumoured that they intend to wait for the Archbishop of Canterbury, and have adjourned, over the Christmas holidays, until the meeting of Parliament. CHURCH DISSENSIONS. Meanwhile the subject is dividing the Church. At Wolverhampton, especially, the whole religious world is at strife. The Rev. George Body, ono of the leaders of the late Mission in London, and the preacher who made the most mark, is the object of the sincere wrath of the Protestant party. His opponents have hardly taken the most manly way of declaring their opinions. On Thursday, Mr. Body was to have given a lecture upon the late Revival. A demonstration against him was organised by the anti-Ritualists. They broke in upon him with great uproar while ho was speak ing, stopped the progress of the meeting, and put out the lights. Th e p o li ce h a d to be called in ; but to clear the room, not to restore quiet. The hun dreds who were present had to be turned info the street. Some of the doings in connection with the same Mission have produced opposition in London also. The parishioners of St. Lawrence, Jewry, the church at which the Pan-Anglican Synod services took place, have met to protest against the turning of their Church from Protestant to Catholic. They have got the Archdeacon of London on their side. SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT. The Daily News has hit the mark respecting the new Turkish loan. Those who invest in it gamble just as much as did the shareholders in soma of tha lc-lint-stock companies of 1865-6. CC THE DANGER OP EDUCATION." Mr. Davis, the stipendiary magistrate for Burslem, differs from his brother of Birmingham on the subject of education dangers. In his opinion the criminal class is an uneducated class. For five years, he said, ho had administered justice in the Potteries, and during the whole of that time, with one single excep tion, not a solitary case of any description had been brought under his notice in which a violation of the law could be traced to a person having wrongly availed himself of the advantages of education. The only exception which he could recall, after racking his memory, and referring to notes, was the case of a person promulgating a bad book in the name of religion. Mr. Davis hopes that working men will be educated to read their book or newspaper, and that they will no longbr be swamped with tracts. EMIGRATION MEETING S. The movement in favour of State aid to enable our surplus population to find a home in another land is supported energetically by mom than one special organisation. On Thursday, Sir George Grey, late Governor of New Zealand, presided over a meeting of the Workmen's Emigration Society Council, at which it was unanimously resolved that a deputation should wait upon Mr. Gladstone, to urge the importance of affording State aid in supplementing the society's labours. The Lord Mayor of London, too, on the same day met a deputation from the National Emi gration Aid Society, asking his lordship to call a public meeting. He cordially approved of the move ment, but urged that the several societies which had the same end in view should first meet to consider the question. It was agreed that this course should be adopted. TO ADVOCATE WOMEN'S IL-LOUTS. Women's rights are now to be advocated in the weekly press. Miss Lydia Becker and her friends of Manchester contemplate starting a new journal, The Home. This publication is to be managed by women, written by women, set up in typo by women,. for the advocacy of the rights of women. Men, we presume, will be allowed to read it ; they will, we are sure, be able to do so—which is more than can be said for a very large portion of female literature. But its chief interest will of course be for the " other sex." The system of type-setting to be adopted will not be as at present. It is to be done by machinery. With regard to this machine it is stated that— A few gentlemen interested in improving the art of printing, and introducing women into the trade, quietly employed a young woman from one of our Lancashire mill s who had never before seen printer's types. She spent ten days in study upon a plan devised, to give with rapidity and thoroughness, the knowledge needed by the typo setter. At the end of this time she commenced to sot type, and in two weeks she could earn double her ordinary wages at the usual rate paid to men. " MILKING." " Senex " writes a long letter to the Telegraph on the subject of the 'Hawley libels. He has made a research—which, let us hope, was profitable and agreeable—into the history of turf law and practice; and he finds that the operation of " milking " is capable of a more precise definition than has hitherto been given it. In general no owner can be guilty of " & according to " ilex," who backs his horse, becomes dissatisfied with hini, and then tries to hedg..! the outlay. With respect to the Liverpool Cup case, if, when the weights for that race were first published, Sir Joseph had backed his three horses, either singly or in a lump, and had afterwards elected to stand upon Lictor and to lay against the other two, no one who knows Turf ethics would, "Sonex" thinks, have accused him of a dishonourable act. "If a limiting man buys three hunters at Tattersall's, and, after taking them down to Melton, finds that two of them are worthless, is lie not at liberty to send the worthless pair back to Tattersall's for sale, and to keep the valuable one, without publish ing to all tho world what ho thinks of the trio ? If a man profits by the eagerness of the public to back his horse, and, without laying out a shilling himself, or after laying out a few pounds to serve as a lure. gets all the money he can by ' ' and scratching the animal, he is undoubtedly a swindler." But " hedging," properly so - called, is not unlawful.: Such is "Senex's" theory. It can hardly be said that it places Turf ethics in a very favourable light. The man who legally hedges must practice on the ignorance of those with whom he lays against the horse which he previously backed. TIIE IMPRESSION OF VAGRANCY. Tho Society for the Repression of Vagrancy is extending its operations. The movement has spread from London into the provinces. Sheffield is amongst the first towns to take up the scheme. The local papers approve it ; and point out how needful an inquiry office is, when people have no time to spend in investigating every chance case of seeming hardship which comes before them. ANOTHER FRENCH MINISTRY. The latest rumours of a change of Government for France,_ although very definite, seem too good to be true. It is now announced that a Cabinet will be formed entirely from the members of the Left and Right Centre—the moderate Liberals. Count Daru is spoken of as the Minister of the Interior, and M. 011ivier as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Louvet, Finance ; M. Segris, Justice ; the Marquis de Talhouet, Public Instruction; and M. Buffet, Commercp. These na mes e mbrace all the leading advocates of " a Liberal Empire." Some of them, including M. 011ivier him self, will command no great confidence ; but it is difficult to believe that such mon as Count Daru and M. Buffet will tolerate any reactionary movement. The former is ono of those deputies who impe ac h e d Louis Napoleon for high treason on the occasion of the coup d'etat. M. Buffet, too, is looked upon as " a Dili " at the Tuileries.
