The public will learn, with a sense of relief, that the Poor-law Board have given definite orders for the removal of the sick poor from the fatal wards of St. Pancras Workhouse to the Highgate Infirmary. Five wards, accommodating 170 persons, are imme diately available for use, and there can be no imagin able reason for keeping the sick in what has not in aptly been termed the modern " Black Hole of Cal cutta," when a large and airy building, in a healthy situation, is ready for service. It will, naturally be asked why the sick people at St. Pancras should have been crowded into the narrow, ill-ventilated wards of the old infirmary, while the really spacious establishment at Highgate was left unfurnished and unused. The only answer to be found is the unreasonable prejudice of the pre sent Board of Guardians against everything under taken or sanctioned by their predecessors. The revelations made at the inquest yes terday, though painful enough, can scarcely be called startling after the former evidence. It was the old painful story in a new form with cer tain variations. JANE HAY Es, 17 years of age, had been an inmate of the house for three months. She was suffering from consumption, but died of typhoid fever, her death being accelerated, according to the medical evidence, by the poisonous air of the ward in which she died. Considering that the allowance of air for each patient in the ward was 600 cubic feet instead of 850, the minimum required by the Poor law Board, that an air shaft connected with the ward was found to contain sewage at the bottom, and that twenty-nine patients occupied the ward, two of them sleeping on the floor, and some in baths, this result is scarcely surprising. The rest of the estab lishment is clearly in keeping with "Ward 24. Some of the Wards, according to the evidence of Dr. ELLIS, " would have to be better ventilated before they could be used as stables for horses." Even allowing for a little high colouring from the anta gonism existing between the Board of Guardians and the medical officer, what are we to say to the evidence of physicians and surgeons totally uncon nected with the establishment ? Mr. BRIME NELL CARTER, F.R.C.S., found Wards 24, 16, and 11 " all offensive," - and had no hesitation in saying that such an atmosphere would be calculated to accelerate the death of a young woman suffering from consumption. The Coroner asked whether it were true that the wards were as good as those of some of the London Hos pitals, when Mr. CARTER declared the statement to be preposterous. In no London Hospital were the wards like it. After this what is the use of Guar dians thrusting themselves forward, contradicting evidence, declaring the jury to be packed, disturb ing the regular course of inquiry, and maintaining that the medical officer alone is answerable for the state of the wards ? By acting in this manner they only confirm the already widespread impression of their total unfitness for the charge of the sick and helpless. But before the matter is finally disposed of, the Poor-Law Board had better look to its own officers and take care for the future that its inspectors keep it a little more au courant with the state of affairs in metropolitan parishes. It is scarcely worth while to engage the services of gentlemen with high-sounding titles to inspect in stitutions in which every conditioa of sanitary well being is deliberately and systematically - set at de fiance. THE sporting journals ought to devote a corner to a record of king-hunting. This sport is not only attaining a widespread popularity, but in proportion as it becomes more common does it also appear more exciting and strange. Nothing, for example, in the annals of diadem intriguing can surpass in novelty and startling effects the present doings in Spain. The folly displayed by the revolutionary leaders in the choice of a King would, indeed, appear inexplicable, were it not to be feared that there is method in their madness, and'that the strange complications of the last twelve months are not altogether the result of blundering. When ISABELLA was driven out, of a score of candidates for the vacancy most people agreed that the Duke of MONTPENSIER, the husband of the ex-QUEEN'S sister, had the best chance of success. For a long time the Duke's name held the highest place in popular esteem, and was produced at intervals as the only "good thing" in the race. Not only, however, is_ the Duke still uncrowned, but it seems that hopeless animosity existed from the first between him and Marshal Pnrm. Then came Dom FERNANDO'S turn. The world was positively assured that this prince, the father of the King of PORTUGAL, would finally settle the difficulty. He was confidently talked about in the official circles of Madrid. his merits were canvassed in the Spanish Parliament. Hopes of a Spano-Portuguese union were held out. After weeks of talk the offer was made, and—flatly refused. Then the poor Spaniards turned their attention to the Duke of GENOA, a youthful nephew of the King of ITALY, and this unhappy lad soon became the rage. He has enjoyed the doubtful gratification of creating more disturbance than either of the mature princes who preceded him. The Progressists wanted to have the Duke of GENOA for King ; but the Unionists, who justly apprehended that the bov would be nothing more than the tool of Plum, the Progressist leader, employed all their energies to defeat the scheme. The fury of the struggle became very serious. All the Unionist Ministers, except the Regent himself, retired from the Government. Civil war was thought to be imminent. And now, in the height of this struggle, we are in formed, on the best authority, that the young DUKE does not desire to be a monarch, and that, even if he did, his relatives are not disposed to offer him up as a sacrifice. Europe may now reasonably complain that its credulity has been played upon too long. One of these fascos might have been possible ; but it is too much to expect us to believe that three imprac ticable candidatures have been successively canvassed for weeks before the Spanish Government knew that each in turn must prove a failure. It must surely have been possible to discover that Doer FERNANDO would not reign, that the Duke of GENOA would not be allowed to reign, or at least that PRIM hated the Duke of MONTPENSIEn so bitterly as to render the latter's candidature hopeless. We must now seek some more rational explanation of these doings. And the only choice seems to lie between the pre sumption that PRIM is intriguing for supreme power himself, or that, having lost hope of agreeing with his colleagues respecting a King, he now seeks to establish the Republic which he some months ago pronounced a chimera. At present only the Mar shal himself can decide which of these two theories is the correct one. But another event or two may reveal the truth. As pauperism is not merely a metropolitan plague, so a minute just issued by the PRESIDENT of the POOR-LAW BOARD on the better organisation of London charity possesses a more than metropolitan interest. Mr. GOSCIEEN'S document is a clear expo sition of the causes of the evil, and of the means by which it should be met. Destitution has long been on the increase, and unhappily it still continues to spread. The average weekly lists of pauperism for 1867 and 1868 were high, but those for 1860 are still higher. On the other hand, however, though the evil is so great, the remedies are not deficient► There is an extensive, if not abundant, supply of public and private relief, but the great diffi culty is to organise and dispense it properly. llitherto the poor-rates and the charity of individuals have failed in their mission —indeed, have acted injuriously through lack of system. Wherever distress has been found, there has been a laudable but ill-directed rush of assistance. No caution has sufficed to induce the public to be as discriminating as it is generous. The result has been the accumulation, and often the waste, of large sums in certain districts ; nor has it unfre quently happened that parishes where money has flowed freely have been actually colonised by paupers from less happy regions. The general principle which ought to be observed to avoid these baneful results is clear enough. It is far from desirable, in this selfish world, to restrict the efforts of the generous, but private charity ought to be so inethodised as to avoid interference with the working of the Poor Law. The ground covered by individual effort and by parish rates should be kept as separate as possible. If this can be done, not only will the evil of a double distribu tion be reduced, but private benevolence will no longer be restrained by the feeling that charity is only lightening the poor rates at the expense of the generous. Mr. GOSCIIEN points out how this result, this separation of the two species of aid, may be effected. The poor-rates can, in general, ho explains, he applied only to the relief of positive destitution. As a rule, s o long as a person is in employment, and wages aro earned, poor-law authorities ought to hold aloof, and refuse to supplement the receipts of the family. This prin ciple may appear hard in many instances—in fact, in the case of widows it is often relaxed ; but for the most part no system could he more dangerous than to supplement insufficiency of wages by the expen diture of public money. It is obvious that if once this principle were admitted there would be no end to its operation. The public e x p en dit ure would be enormously increased, and the self re li ance a nd thrift of the working population would proportionately decline. But there is great scope for assistance to those who suffer from insuffi ciency of means ; and though public money cannot much good may be b d e o expendedne by y aitod fo those s c h who h p o u raproes e not utterly . , Here, then, is the proper field for private charity. The Poor Law will take care of positive, the generous may attend to comparative, poverty. Charitable societies ought to refrain from giving where the Guardians give, or, at all events, for the same purposes. Their assistance should be confined to gifts of bedding and the like, and in no case should parish relief be so augmented as to form a regular increase of income. Boards of Guar dians cannot legally help the poor by redeeming their clothes from pawn, pur chasing tools or clothing, or paying fares from one part of the country to another. But private charity may accomplish infinite good in all these respects. To carry these instructions into practice a system of registration must be adopted. Unfortunately the Poor-law Board has no funds to provide any effective registra tion, but it is suggested that weekly lists, con taining the names of all out-door paupers, with their addresses and the amount received, should be pub lished by the Guardian in every district. Private persons should give information of their doings. Thus the two species of charity would begin to work together, and thus would be laid the foundation of that affiance between private and public aid which has been so long needed, Colonel J. W. Lovell, C.B. Commanding Royal Engineer at the Chatham district has presented at the Chatham parish schools, the certificates and prizes won by local students in the examinations by the Science and Art Department ; and the most distinguished of them was Sergeant John Snaden, of the Royal Engineers, stationed with bis corps at Brompton Barracks. Colonel Lovell, with compli mentary remarks, presented him with the gold medal awarded to him. Sergeant Snaden also won a " Royal Albert Scholarship" in the Royal Col lege of Science, Dublin, entitling him to £5O a year for three years, and to the free enjoyment of lec tures, &c., at the College. He would also have re ceived a £25 Whitworth Exhibition if he had not been slightly beyond the age fixed. Sergeant Snaden is a self-taught man, and has gained the honours mentioned by studying in the intervals of his duty as a non-commissioned officer. BREAXFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepata,- Con has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazelle remarks:—." The singular success which Mr.Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap plication of the floe properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately , flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills."

The lawless spirit of the south of Ireland is still shown in various outrages. The wife of a labourer named Neville, who works on the railway near Foynes, county of Limerick, was fired at on Wednesday night. The house in which the Nevilles lived is divided, and a caretaker of Mr. Mangan's occupies one half. The caretaker and his wife left the house to attend the fair of Ra.thkeale, and gave the key to Neville's wife, asking her to attend to some domestic matters for them. Hearing footsteps a littlo after dusk, and thinking her neighbours had come back, she went out with the key to her own door, and there met a man, armed with a double-barrelled gun, who desired her to stand back, and, instantly presenting the gun, fired into her face, and then, turning round, discharged the second barrel into the window of the caretaker's house. The poor woman received the contents of the gun, which was loaded with shot and pellets, in the head and shoulders, and was wounded severely, but, under medical treatment, is likely to recover. The Cork Examiner states that on Friday morning, as the contractor was about to resume work on the western bridge, it was found that 201 t. o f ro p e and a letting-down platform on which the workmen stand had been cut and taken away. If it had not been discovered loss of life, in all probability, would have occurred. On Wednesday night a party of ladies and gentlemen who were driving to a ball in Tipperary had stones flung at them. One of the ladies had a narrow escape. This is a rare species of outrage.

An extraordinary story of a mad wolf in Lithuania was published in a recent number of the Cologne Gazette. The wolf was first seen ono evening last month in a field near a village called Pocie. He sprang, so runs the story, into the field out of an adjoining wood, and in an instant tore to pieces a woman who was working there at the time. Her companions fled to the village for assistance, but when they returned with their husbands and brothers the wolf had disappeared, leaving on the ground the bleeding body of his victim. A guard of six well-armed peasants was then set over the corpse. These lit a fire, and seated them selves round it, one of them only marching to and fro as a sentinel. In a few hours the wolf again made his appearance, and fiercely attacked the peasants, killing two of them and putting the rest to flight. He next ran into the villages of Pocie and Ptorani, broke into the houses, wounded the people in them, and then entered a farm where there was a number of horses, ten of which he killed. Some of the stablemen now rushed forward to seize him, but he broke through them, severely wounding three of their number, and, after committing similar ravages in two other villages, disappeared in the nearest wood. The peasants who saw the animal declare that he must have been mad, as ho foamed at the mouth, and did not euck the blood or eat the flesh of his victims. Next morning all the able-bodied men in the district turned out to hunt the wolf. He was caught iu the wood where ho had taken refuge by a peasant, who seized him by the throat while his companions beat him to death with their sticks. THE TAMWORTH ELECTION PETITIOA. In the Queen's Bench, on Monday, Mr. Giffard, Q.C.. showed cause against a rule which had been obtained in the case of " Regina v. The Mayor and Corpora tion of Tamworth." In the month of January a petition against the return of one of the members for Tamworth (Sir Robert Peel, Bart.), having been presented, the mayor was required by the Commissioners of the Treasury to make a proper arrangement for the reception of the Judge who went down to hold a Court of Inquiry as to alleged improper practices prevalent at the parliamentary election of Sir Robert Peel, the borough constituent. It appears that there was no adequate building for the purposes of the court, the building being in a most dilapidated state, and that it would take a largo amount to put it in order. An official from the Treasury attended to ask if £25 would be a sufficient sum for the necessary repairs, and the reply was "No." His Worship VMS then informed by the said official that if he did not provide suitable and proper accommodation in the way of a court-house for her Majesty's judges on the occasion of their coming to Tam worth to hold the court in question, he (his Worship) would be liable to fine and imprisonment. (A laugh) On receiving this intimation, his worship counselled with his neighbour, the Mayor of Lichfield, as to the proper expenses to be incurred in giving the judge a proper reception on his arrival in the town. Mr. B. Clarkson, a builder, of Tam worth, was employed to put the Town Hall into what was considered the necessary repair, providing extra poles, &c. and the expenses incurred (f.,250) now formed the subject in dispute. After hearing the arguments at considerable length, at the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. M`Namara consented to the withdrawal of certain items of expenses charged by the Mayor for furnishing the Town Hall for the reception of the judge, which would reduce this sum by £64 as charged to the borough fund. On that condition, his lordship said, the rule would be discharged. Otherwise it would be made absolute to bring up the certi,rari applied for.—Mr. Hill, for the rule, applied for costs, which the Lord Chief Justice refused, observing that the action against the mayor was a shabby proceeding. AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE SUIT, The Judge Ordinary of the Divorce Court has been engaged in inquiring into the merits of the case of "Kelly v. Kelly." The respondent is a clergyman, and incumbent of St. George's Church, Liverpool, and his wife seeks to be judicially separated from him because of his cruelty. The cruelty alleged is not that which the habitues of the court are in the habit of hearing ; but moral cruelty, such as telling the servants not to obey her, refusing her money, locking her up, opening her letters, refusing her proper medical advice, and a vast number of other acts of domestic tyranny of a like nature. The petitioner stated that she was married in 1841, and had then £6,800. When her sister died she appointed the respondent sole executor of some £5,500. On one occasion Mr. Kelly told his wife that the sum was no longer comeatable, and on the petitioner asking how it had been invested he refused to tell her. She then wrote to Colonel Thornbury, a relative, and this seems to have much annoyed the rev. respondent, who refused to take his meals or sleep with his wife. Soon after this their son, who is about 24 years of age, had a misunderstanding with his father, and was ordered out of the house, and Mr. Kelly forbade his wife ever to hear from her offspring. Because she received a letter at the post-office he opened all letters that were received or transmitted. His wife was taken ill, and the doctor ordered change of air. The respondent at first said he would allow her to go; but then refused the permission. She, however, went, and on her return the respondent told the servants not to obey her, and appointed persons to take care of the house and follow her about, and on one occasion when sho went into a shop one of those persons went and inquired what she had purchased. The respon dent often called her a "vile wanton; a woman with whom modest women would no more associate than with a prostitute." He also said that in writing to Colonel Thornbury she had violated her marriage vow, by giving her confidence to another man than her husband. He forbad her to visit the poor in his district, and would not allow her to receive the Communion. On one occa sion when she was outside the respondent's church Mr. Kelly came out and seized hold of her violently. Some persons assembled, and he told them that the petitioner had a fit. He then called a cab, and told the driver to take her home, and see that she did not get into mischief or go into any low place. Tho petitioner subsequently returned to church, and the respondent in his sermon pointed her out as a person possessing an unclean spirit. Much evidence of this kind was given, the respondent's examination in chief occupying nearly four hours. Tho rev. respondent, who was his own counsel, cross-examined his wife, and elicited from her that he had given up his living in Ireland. partly on account of her ill-health. She also said that some years ago she was jealous of a female member of the family, and had said she could cast such a slur on her husband's character that he would have no congregation. She had made retractions in writing, but now alleged that this was done in some instances under " moral coercion." This is about as far as the case has gone, and it will bo resumed on Wednesday; but if it is tried out, four or five days will at least be consumed. The Vicar of Ide, near Exeter, rev. J. Walters, advertises for a curate, '• ono who is an earnest Churchmen, Evangelical, and of to cad and Liberal victrs, and Who will be dutiful Aha lon to the bishop of the diocese." Two a - el:lents, both occurring about the same time, and utdcr dretnnstancai, are reported from the North. A travelling crane employed in a woodytt:d at Dundee gave way, and a largo log it was lifting full upon and killed ono man an 1 injured another. At Aberdeen, whilst being tested with seventeen tons of iron, another crane gave way. Five men were injured, one of thorn hav ing his skull fractured and another being dangerously hurt. THE SEASON IN CORNWALL.—II I the immecliato neighbourhood of Penzance may be seen wo or three apple trees in full bloom, while not only is the same evidence of the mildness of the season presented at Gerrans, but in the garden of Mr. Johns is a long row f peas, about four feet high, in full flower. Ripe straw berries have been gathered in several gardens; and at Pentewan, near St. Austell, many fine ripe raspberries, a few measuring from 2 inches to 2i inches in circum ferences SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times considers the result of the electoral contest in the four Paris districts has, in the main, answered the general expectation. With the exception of M. Rochefort, the most violent partisans have been set aside, and the moderate Democrats have been elected. The struggle, as our readers are aware, was no longer between the Emperor's Government and the Opposition, for the official candidates had withdrawn, and left the field open for the competition of the various parties hostile to the Imperial power. The interval between the general appeal to the people in June and the present supplementary elections will constitute ono of the most important periods in the history of the Second Empire. It is the period in which a revolution was con templated and in which it was neither crushed nor foiled, but simply abandoned. With the exception of M. Roche fort, the election has been favourable to men who, although professed Republicans, will not hesitate to make common cause with those twenty-seven of the Left whose manifesto offers a rallying point for nearly all shades of rational Liberali , m in Franco. With a Chamber so constituted the forthcoming session can hardly fail to possess an interest altogether unparalleled in the annals of Imperial Parliaments. The empire, which has just conquered the revolution without fighting, is now almost at the mercy of the Opposition. It would not be ea=y to esti mate the strength accruing to the parties arrayed against the Government from the wisdom and moderation of which they have given so signal an evidence, It is to be hoped that they will persevere in a policy which has hitherto so admirably befriended them. If the members of the Left abide by the resolution announced in their recent manifesto, respecting the reforms to be introduced into the electoral and municipal laws, they will by that alone win more than half tho battle of self-govern ment. It happens, singularly enough, says the Telegraph, that the same treaty is denounced on both sides of the Channel by angry advocates of partial monopoly, and that the com plaint on one part both explains and answers that made on the other. Coventry and Macclesfield complain that they are driven out of the home market by French silks and ribbons; Lancashire, feeling bad trade, yet uncer tain as to the cause, thinks that foreign competition should somehow be checked ; Birmingham brass founders grumble at the greater cheapness and excel lence of Belgian chandeliers ; London lath-splitters and cabinetmakers think it anything but fair that wood should be cut and the furniture made up abroad. Of the movement in England generally, however, it may be said, that no one great interest has committed itself unreservedly to an advocacy of protection under the guise of reciprocity. Most of the outcry against the commercial treaty with England proceeds from one powerful interest—the cotton industry of the North. The manufacturers of woollen and mixed tissues are dis satisfied, but are not bitterly hostile, and may be regarded as in many cases neutral. All France, outside theso two interests, is favourable—in some cases en thusiastically so—to the Treaty. Meanwhile the Protectionists on both sides the Channel may be presented with one crumb of comfort. If they will compare the trade between the two countries as it stood before the year of the Treaty with what it is now, they will see that its amount has about doubled. Each country is consuming every year more and more of the products of the other. Nor is this increase counterbalanced by any deduction from any third country—for the people both of France and of England manage to use an increasing annual quantity of the commodities sent from all other countries. How, in the face of these facts, can it be said that we are becoming poorer ? Do we get the goods without paying for them ? and, if not, where does the money come from ? The Daily News thinks that the deliberate judgment of the Archbishop of Canterbury on Dr. Temple's appoint meut to the Bishopric of Exeter has appeared at a timely moment. It could hardly have been published with pro priety pending the election by the Dean and Chapter ; bui now, artificial and partial as the movement against Dr. Temple has been, there are probably some excellent people to whom the Archbishop's reassuring words will be words of peace. The clergy in the deanery of South Mailing who signed the address to his Grace have now the' assurance of the highest authority in the Church, not' only of Dr. Temple's earnest, self-denying, energetic, Christian life, but the double assurance that "his own works contain no statements contrary to the faith of the Church of England," and that "he is an earnest and in telligent believer in all the great doctrines sot forth in our Prayer-Book and Articles." The Archbishop's opinion that Dr. Temple should take steps as " soon as possible for allaying the anxiety which has been called forth "is of less importance, as Dr. Temple will, of course, act accord ing to his own high sense of his duty, and the Archbishop's letter should itself leave but little anxiety to be allayed. In his head-mastership of Rugby School Dr. Temple has gained, the Archbishop says, that " unwavering confidence , in his Christian excellence " which has made the school BO wonderfully flourishing, and which " led the Primo Minister to judge that he might fairly be raised to the Episcopate ; " and there is every reason to believe that ho will be equally successful in winning the same confidence in his headship of the Western Diocese. Ths Archbishop's letter, written as it was " with a sole= feeling of responsibility," and with the hope that it "may tend to allay the feelings of irritation which have bees. lately roused," is quite worthy of his position. It should be the last word on the whole subject. Written imme diately before the Archbishop's serious illness, it will b' read with all the more respect as a word of peace spoken almost from the sick-bed itself. So moderate, prudent, and conciliatory a judgment will but increase the univer sal hope that the Archbishop may long be spared to give counsels of wisdom and moderation to the Church. The Standard believes that the First Lord of the Admi ralty has a right to whatever exoneration he may gain through the statistics he has offered to Mr. Morley with respect to the closing of Deptford and Woolich dockyards. It may be feared, however, that his explanation will be considered somewhat evasive, and at best it is a denial :tither than an apology. But the history he writes, of these reductions and dispersions, will certainly have no effect in diminishing the public sympathy with a population pauperised and a cluster of towns brought to utter misery. The point is, not so much the wholesale discharge by thousands a year of shipwrights and labourers, and the breaking up of poor and populous neighbourhoods, the ill-chosen time, the driving away from the country of so much skilled artisanship, but the evil inflicted upon such a multitude of families by this kind of sudden and sweep ing retrenchment. Of the entire number of workmen not more than twelve hundred have been re-employed ; and when we, allowing for pensions, emigrations, deaths, and so forth, compare this total with that of twenty thousand in full work on the Thames banks scarcely two years ago, and when we reflect what a variety and extent of col lateral interests must have been affected by the change, we may form some idea of the blight which has afflicted this unfortunate population. A clergyman told a meeting in the vicinity the other clay that it would be fatuous ever again to expect anything but impoverishment in those dis tricts. Of course he could not speak for all time to come, but at present the prospect is far from cheering. We are glad to have Mr. Childers's details, although they contain little comfort, and were evidently prompted by Mr. Morley in the most good-natured spirit of party understanding. What consolation they will bring to the inhabitants of the dilapidated districts is quite another question. The Post declares that the President of the Poor-law Board has taken the first step towards a reformation which has long been needed, and which cannot with safety be much longer delayed. It is alarming to observe with what rapid strides pauperism is advancing upon us without any thing to account for its increase except its inherent vitality and the funds provided for its relief. During the last ten years the population of London has increased one-sixth, while the pauper part of it has increased one-hilt. The minute of the Poor-law Board, just published, while inviting the co-operation of the charitable societies, draws a distinct line of demarcation between its field of action and theirs. There aro things the Poor, Law must do, and there are others that ought to be done, but which are beyond its powers. The action of charitable societies should begin at the point at which the Poor Law leaves off. They should hold the same sort of relation to the parish which equity holds to law— re l ax i ng it s r i g idity and dispensing charity where the Poor Law fails to do so. The minute of the Poor-law Board chews how great waste ma .y in some degree be avoided. If the societies will concur with the Board and with each other in establishing a register by which each may know what the other is doing, the pro fessional beggar will bo cut short in his career, and the deserving sufferer will be properly relieved. The charity of the societies will supplement the relief of the parish ; and thus united .action will enable us to distinguish be tween the idler who should be sent to the stone-yard to earn his dinner, and those claimants who have failed to achieve independence in spite of honest and persevering endeavour. It has been computed, remarks the ITcrald, that during recent years one men a year out of every 280 employed in the coal mines of this country has been blown to pieces, burned, drowned, or crushed to death at his work. Seeing that the total numl:er cf persons engaged in and about the collieries is more than 280,000, the meaning of this calculation will be evident at o we . It implies a loss of mo re than 100,0 lives a year. There arc signs, howev,-r, of a movoment amongst the colliers which, if properly developed, might perhaps bring about seine effectual mitigation of various evils under which they labour.
