Of social reforms it has none on the anvil, and it has promised nothing of interest in the way of administrative changes. Mr. Gladstone's possible railway scheme is not a proposal in the party sense, for. it is admitted that it cannot be carried without the consent of the interests con cerned, and to stir up a battle there must be a bone to be taken from some dog or other. There is in fact literally nothing before the country, not even a " lorcha case," and no cry except the Premier's name, which has partially lost its power. THE " SATURDAY REVIEW" ON TIIE EDMUNDS, AND SOME OTHER SCANDAL.—Considering that we are, and are rather proud of being, a shopkeeping nation, the way in which our chief shop is conducted, and our accounts of the national receipts and expen diture kept, ought to be a model, both as regards morality and accuracy, for business men. The Edmunds Inquiry has the re f ore a va l ue f ar beyond theimmediate matters with which it was concerned. Air. Edmunds' own character, and his curious no tions about honesty and honour and all that kind of thing, have only a philosophical interest. The odd sort of way in which everybody found it to be his duty not to see the things which were before his eyes shows the existence of a new moral disease, quite as formidable as any Russian epidemic, which seems specially to attack the House of Lords. As is only fitting, the Speaker of the Upper House has been most severely afflicted by this visitation. The Lord President of the Council and the Chairman of Committees are the victims who have suff ere d i n the second degree ; and while the members of her Majesty's Government have incurred considerable danger, it is characteristic of the general prevalence of this malady that the chiefs of her Majesty's Op position have not escaped the epidemic, which has invariably attacked the seat of moral vision. The Lord Chancellor, who was perfectly well acquainted with a notorious embezzlement of public funds, did not consider it to be his duty to do anything to pre vent the embezzler, Mr. Edmunds, from getting an honourable and substantial pecuniary testimonial from the national purse. The Lord President of the Council, though equally well informed on the subject, thought it right to absent himself from an inquiry in which he might have thrown the most essential light on the only point which couldbe of the slightest importance to a body especially entrusted with the duty of seeing that pensions are exclusively conferred on good and honest officers. This body, a Committee of Inquiry, though all in possession of unfavourable reports on the conduct of Mr. Edmunds, did not deem it to be part of their duty to ascertain whether there was any ground for those reports. One member of the committee, on being told that he and his colleagues ought at least to have waited for the information to come formally before them which they already possess informally, is seriously ag grieved at this delicate hint ; and, riding a very high horse indeed, lays it down boldly and broadly that to inquire into a certain set of circumstances means to see as little of them as you possibly can, and that to endeavour to find out a thing which you have every reason to believe is purposely withheld from you is quite beyond the meaning of inquiry at all. This is the' sort of political morality which official life in England has, as it seems, a natural tendency to secrete. If Lord Westbury had not been Chancellor and official guardian of the Queen's conscience, he could never, as he did on the 7th of March, have indignantly denied that he had at any time, or in any way, " ever held out to Mr. Ed munds that if he would resign he would use his good offices to obtain a pension for him"—the fact being that he had written, "All I can say is that, if Mr. Edmunds thinks proper to resign,l will do all I can with propriety to obtain for him his pension." If, again, such a man as Lord Redesdale had not been for many years Chairman of Committees, he would assuredly not have discovered that important dis tinction between private and official morality which he and his colleagues have so remarkably exemplified. Nay, even if the House of Lords were only a body of gentlemen who conducted the ordinary concerns of life on the ordinary principles of English gentle men, they would have scarcely presented that spec tacle which now astonishes, if it does not edify, the world outside the Peerage. We infer from these concurrent instances a great principle of official morality, which seems to be to do as little as possi ble in the way of duty, for fear of being thought im pertinently and intrusively zealous in the execution of a trust. It is the same great view of responsibility which has possessed itself of so many of our domes tic servants, - who never sweep out the bedrooms, clean the kettles, or dust the curtains, because they are not every day pointedly and specifically charged to execute these tasks. Preston; Earl Grosvenor, Chester • Lord R. Grosve nor, Flintshire ; Mr. Gurdon, Norfolk (West) ; Mr. Hassard, Waterford; Mr. Heathcote, Rutland shire ; Mr. Horseman, Stroud ; Mr. Lowe, Caine ; Mr. Mackie, Kirkcudbrightshire ; Mr. Marsh, Salis bury ; Sir J. Matheson, Ross and Cromarty ; Colonel Packe, Lincolnshire (South); Mr. 0. Ricardo, Worcester ; Mr. Augustus Smith, Truro ; Mr. Vernon, Worcestershire (East) ; Mr. J o h n Walter, Berkshire ; and Mr. Sr." B. Wrightson, Northallerton. To these may be added the tellers —.Lord Elcho, Haddingtonshire ; and Mr. Black, Edinburgh. Mr. Lowe's seat for Caine is secure so long as he retains the favour of the Marquis of Lansdowne. The question, however, arises whether the Conservative tendencies of the right hon. gen tleman's speech may not be too strong for the diges tion of a Whig peer. People who knew the last revered possessor of the title aver that Mr. Lowe would never have sat for Caine again if he had made so obstructive a speech in the lifetime of the late Marquis. The present peer may be more timid than his father, and the appearance of the names of members of the Whig families of Westminster, Clanricarde, Fitzwilliam, Sligo, Lichfield, and Coke, in the majority against Mr. Baines's bill, shows that the measure is regarded with more or less distrust by the Whig nobility. It is so extremely improbable that Mr. Lowe would venture to stand for a Liberal borough that it is conjectured he either obtained beforehand Lord Lansdowne's consent to his speech against the extension of the suffrage, or determined to throw himself into the arms of the Conservatives. More than half the weight of the speech was derived from Mr. Lowe's late position on the Ministerial benches. If it had been delivered on the other side of the House, the arguments and vaticination would have fallen comparatively still-born. Another speech so damaging to progress, and Mr. Lowe must be invited to consider whether he is not bound, in honesty anti fairness to the Liberals, to cross the floor of the House. Mr. Walter may not share Mr. Lowe's alarm at the growth of the democratic in fluences ; but, having voted with the right hon. gen tleman against Mr. Baines's bill, he is likely to suffer from any dissatisfection which the Liberal party in Berkshire may feel at Mr. Lowe's speech. We hear that Mr. Walter refuses to convas his county, and, as the Conservatives have three candidates in the field—men of family and posi tion,—it is by no means unlikely that he will lose his seat at the next election. Mr. Black retires from Edinburgh, and Mr. Augustus Smith from Truro at the close of the present Parliament. Mr. Horsman's elaborate speech against Reform is not calculated to make him more acceptable to the Liberal electors of Stroud. Mr. Marsh being, like the member for Caine, a returned Australian, has a horror of transferring all political power into the hands of working men, and too hastily adopted Mr. Lowe's conclusion that a £6 borough franchise would have that effect. The danger which now threatens the Liberal party is that the working classes and the numerous voters who sympathise with the cause of the unenfranchised may be alien ated from their natural leaders by the tone which Sir G.. Grey was instructed by the head of the Ad ministration to assume. If the advanced Liberals take a serious view of what they may consider the faithlessness of the Government to the cause of Parliamentary Reform, they will not in a few cases run a Radical against a Whig, and thus let in a Tory. When they cannot find a candidate of their own, they may regard the contest of a Whig of Mr. Lowe's stamp with a Conservative with apathy and indifference. If the men of progress bring them selves to believe that it is not worth going across the street to keep Lord Derby out or maintain Lord Palmerston in many votes will be lost to the Mini stry, and the Conservatives may meet the new Par liament with a considerable majority. The ques tion which the Reformers will then have to determine will be whether the foreign policy of the Palmerston Cabinet and Mr. Gladstone's splendid financial legis lation are of themselves so desirable as to compensate and atone for the virtual abandonment of Parlia mentary Reform.

Haynes, C. 8., recently returned from the China station, is now entirely dismantled and the whole of the War Department and other stores returned to the Ordnance Department, Chatham, preparatory to her crew being paid off, and the vessel being put out of commission on Wednesday next. Among the stores landed at Chatham are a number of large brass Japanese guns, captured by the Tartar at Simonosaki during the attack on the Japanese forth and batteries. The largest of these guns is about 14 feet in length, and weighs nearly , five tons. It is of excellent workmanship, as, in deed, are the whole of those landed at Chatham, including a mortar of great size. Some of the largest of the guns were found to be loaded with shell, which were successfully drawn on Saturday. An application has been made to the authorities at the War Department for permission to have -one or two of the largest guns mounted and placed in conspicu ous place's at Chatham as trophies. The Favourite, 10 guns, ironcased screw corvette, on Mr. Reed's principle, which was undocked at Woolwich on Friday last, was masted on Saturday morning. She is to have her tops on, and her lower masts rigged at Woolwich, after which she will be despatched for completion to Sheerness. Her Majesty's steam storeship Dee, Commander George Raymond, with steam machinery from Glasgow, went into basin at Woolwich on Saturday to discharge. Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick W. E. Nicholson, C. 8., and Capt. the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane at tended at the factory in Woolwich dockyard on Saturday for the special purpose of witnessing the progress of Mr. Richardson's experimental method of burning petroleum in the place of coal or ether fuel for steam purposes. The experiment has been in progress for some ten days past, and is so far exceedingly satisfactory. The fire was kindled at nine o'clock, and steam was kept up dur ing the day. The boiler, which is the first of its kind, continued in full action till 4 o'clock, when the petroleum was drawn off. It contained 47cwt. of water, largely over-proportioned to the heating surface, and the oil appeared to be on pressure nearly the whole time. Ninety gallons of water were evaporated in four hours. It is stated that the boiler, made by the order of the Admiralty Board, will now be subjected to some alterations, as the right forth' is not yet obtained, and a large part of the hottest portion being exposed to the air when nearly redhot. The experiment was considered by the inventor as valuable only in- proving incontes tably that petroleum can be employed as steam fue with perfect safety. The chimney cast off but very little smoke when the boiler was in full action, and that only of a light vapour colour. The Russian squadron which conveys the body of the Czarewitch will be escorted from Lisbon to Ply mouth by the United States frigate Niagara, the Royal Oak, and another British ship of war. Lieut.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of P apers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertisinz columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. '• Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that. a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needfut to be known, will be found in the pamphl. t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are rally set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espec'ally th..t, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, b,r consulting which evei y young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " R evelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means I" Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery,'' by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

" TIiE EXAMINER" ON INDIAN FINANCE.—Sir Charles Trevelyan has ended a long and useful financial career by a great financial blunder. After a series of many years of consecutive deficits his predecessor had made both ends meet, and even exhibited a small surplus of £78,347. Sir Charles has not only got rid of this surplus, but produced, after two years' labour, a deficit of £344,143, or in other words he has left the financial condition of India worse than he found it by the sum of £422,490. his estimate last year made for the present amounts to a miscalcula tion of no less than £1,167,431. But Sir Charles Trevelyan is by no means answerable for all this, unless in so far as he may have lent himself to the continuation of a bad system of finance. The pre sent revenue, now above £46,000,000, has risen from a fourth, a third, and one-half our own, to be now in round numbers within £24,000,000 of it. It is not, indeed, the revenue which has fallen off and produced the deficit, for it even exhibits a small surplus ; the evil lies in the expenditure, which has enormously increased. One cause for this was the expenditure on opium. Our readers are aware that two-thirds of the revenue derived from this article is raised by a Government monopoly in pro duction and local sale, the whole of this branch of our Indian financial resources reaching a sum of some £6,000,000, all paid by strangers, and there fore the happiest accident that ever bad a financier. Instead of leaving this branch of trade in the hands of the agriculturist and the trader, the Government is itself cultivator and trader, raising the price paid to the producer, in order to increase the supply, by upwards of 40 per cent. The opium produced, of course, increased greatly in quantity ; the price, of course, fell; and in this article alone a loss of half a million was sustained. This comes of a Govern ment playing the cultivator and the trader. Where a tax was levied on the opium, the culture and trade being free, and by the tax, from a very narrow field of production, one-third of the whole of the opium revenue was yielded, no loss whatever was sustained by the State. Owing to the maintenance of this monopoly, the opium revenue, which ought to be as stable as any other branch of our resources, fluctu ates from year to year, the price of a chest of the drug being in one year £l5O, in another £lOO, and, as in the past unlucky year, as low as £B3. On account of this single nuisance alone, the revenue may vary, from year to year, from a million to a million and a half, and has often actually done so, and even more. The military expenditure shows an excess over the preceding year of more than £630,000, and would seem to have been 20,01 1 0 3 33 2 3, 838 4: 27 64 73'2 j,; R A L L I r F , L s S U , S I D C 2 R 4 N H G i t h , L i i t j o m l b c O u r r n l L o Ladies' or Gentlemen's hair immediately it is applied.

It will play an important part at the coming general election. Every M.P. who goes to his constituency for re-election will be expected to explain and defend his vote on Mr. Baines's bill.. Every candidate not now in Parliament will have to state whether he would have voted with the ayes or noes. An analysis of the division list may assist the politician in weighing the party interests concerned, and in speculating upon the influence which the di vision is likely to exercise upon those who took part in it. The members of the Government voted, al most to a man, for the bill. Lord Palmeiston was the great exception. He was absent from illness, and he did not think proper to " pair" for the mea sure. Every other member of the Cabinet in the Lower House voted for the second reading. Sir George Grey, Sir C. Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. C. P. Villiers, Mr. Milner Gibson, Lord Clarence Paget, the Marquis of Hartington, Mr. H. A. Bruce, the Lord Advo cate, Mr. W. Cowper, Viscount Enfield, Mr. T. G. Baring, Mr. Childers, Mr. Peel, the Solicitor-Gene ral, Mr. Headlam, and Mr. Brand, all went into the lobby with Mr. Baines. The Attorney-General shirked the division, and as he did not " pair" he may be set down as unfavourable to the measure. The same may be said of Sir Robert Peel, and the junior Treasury Whip, Mr. K. Hugessen. It may be thought that the votes thus given by members of the Government in favour of an extension of the suffrage will enable those who represent popular constituencies to pass through in triumph. They are, however, bound by Sir George Grey's explana tions and limitations, some of which are by no means acceptable to advanced Reformers. The Home Sec retary voted for the bill, but reserved to himself the right of altering the amount of the franchise, should the bill ever get so far as the committee.

For the construction of these railways the Government tee ° I Peru have granted special concessions, and I t g w u e a re ran not of income, which would appear exorbitant, if . that the statistics of the existing traffic have satisfied the Peruvian Government that the railways, when at work, will yield returns which will not only relieve the ._ e Govern ment of th e c h arge for their guarantee, but far exceedthe sum re quired for th a t purpose. The Peruvian Government guarantees for the period of twenty-five years —or until the railways have produced - it)yer and above the cost and provision for repair, reno . len, and maintenance for the space of two consecutive years, dividends at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum— an an income of £233,800 per annum, charged upon the public rpvenues of the State, and further secured by hypotheca tion of the guano shipped to European States. The con o - r rcelisions for the railways contain the usual provision ee f _- _eunbursing to the Government(out of any surplus ex ed_ islaugg.lo per. cent. per annum dividend to the shareholders) their 1 ". sums, if any, as may„have been paid by them to cover guarantee. The concessions of these lines of railway from the Go- Iverntnent of Peru is for a period of 99 years from the open ag of the railways. A sufficient sum will be set apart to . forma , Sinki ng fund for the redemption of the whole capi f ' a b 4 Premium of £lOO per cent., to be operative yearly aster the' first 20 years of the working of the railways.

There is nothi ng Fit ing in foreign affairs, for the danger of intervention .. in America is over, and the country has for questions. We havethe moment forgotten all other not even an Asiatic campaign on our hands, and E although there is of course a little war going on— ngland never being at peace for more than three is earnestly months at atime—no party at home Zealand. favourable or opposed to the war in New Government may do what it likes, one party as much as the other, and nobody will be re quired even to rh profess his faith as to the matter on the hustings. only great colonial question in hand, the confederation e b of British North America, is only understood ya few, and those few on both sides of the home unanimously hid down by the Colonial support the policy Minister. There is not at this moment a subject outside these islands upon which public opinion is seriously divided, not a which visible project of action will lose or attract a is hundred votes. Nobody is nothing to do or to endure anything, and when there endured even Lord Malmesbury nothing to be done or may be considered efficient. At home the absence of purpose is even more conspicuous, so conspicu ons that it is hard to believe it is not designed.o the question which most interests the most powerful of all the minori ties, Parliamentary reform, Government produces no policy, but distinctlynot only declares that it does not intend to produce one. It will accept the decision of the people on whichever side it may be, and carry it out obediently, but it will take no lead. It does not wish to admit working men to the franchise, or to reject them, pr to suggest a compromise, and it is at the same time by no means unwilling to do any one of the three. On ecclesi astical affairs it has nothing to dvise, and indeed if no tendency to reveal, for the Lord Chancellor is a foe to Church action, Si r R oundell Palmer has high ideas of Church independence ; if Lord Pal merston nominates Recordite Bishops Mr. Gladstone has been endorsed by Dr. Fuse Indeed righteous ness and peace have kissed each and other in the shape of Dr. Pusey and the Record, f or the hour the Church parties have nothing to quarrel about. before There is no ecclesiastic al question the country except that of Church-rates, and on that Govern ment expresses no policy except a On finance, profound willing ness to do as it may b e bidden. the malt tax excepted, the nation is unanimous, and the malt tax does not to any perceptible degree interest the boroughs inwhich the campaign t ultimately be fought out. Nobo d y is v ery anxious about either shrink f ex p en diture or economy, for parties rom an avowed cry for outlay —th ough they willhave to risk it one day in the Educati on Department — and the pressure of ta xes has been so li gh t e ne d that a cry for econO my seems a work of supererogation. Upon that suNe ct Government promisesnothing . except to-spend as little as it can m anage consist ently with the efficiency of the public service," ' which efficiency it will define in accordance with the from going to the country pledged to bring forward some great measure of reform in the next Parlia ment, the Government, through its mouth-piece, Sir George Grey, would not promise to deal with the question of Parliamentary Reform at all, and does not ask for the support of the country on this ground. If, indeed, there should be some persis tent and overwhelming expression of public opinion in favour of Parliamentary Reform the Home Secretary intimates that the Government would be ready to do the behests of the country. But as any such overpowering demonstration is very unlikely to be made, especially since the Government de clines to lead the way and to put itself at the head of the reform movement, it will be taken for granted by the democratic section of politicians that the question of reform and the extension of the suffrage is postponed sine die. This is not an attitude which a member of the Government representing a large popular constituency will find conducive to his ease and comfort. Mr. Layard may have some difficulty in satisfying the electors of Southwark that the Go vernment have behaved fairly to the working classes. Mr. Milner Gibson at Ashton-under-Lyne, and Mr. Villiers at Wolverhampton, will be told that a Liberal Government is abdicating its highest functions in holding the language of Sir George Grey. The Conservatives came out of the debate with clean hands. Lord Derby, after the last general election, repudiated his own Reform Bill, and de clared that he was no longer bound to propose either that or any other measure of Parliamentary . reform. The Conservatives have consistently op posed the measures of Mr. Locke King and Mr. Baines. They have with some reason contended that reform ought not to be dealt with bit by bit, and that the £lO county franchise and a £6 borough franchise cannot hope to pass either of those mea sures until they are introduced by the Govern ment, and made severally a Cabinet question. The unanimity of the Conservatives in the house will be imitated, at the hustings by their adherents. Not a single stray Conservative slighted the traditions of his party by voting for the £6 fran chise for the boroughs. Several old Whigs absented themselves from the division. The majority of 74 in favour of the " previous question" was further swelled by about 30 Liberals. Sixteen of the num ber are county members ; five represent Scotch, and three Irish constituencies. Their names are Mr. ,. Adeane, Cambridgeshire ; Major Anson , Lichfield Mr. Bonham Carter Winchester ; Lord John Brow ne, Mayo ; Sir R. Bulkeley, Anglesea ; Sir M.

Yet even this will not account for such an excess when we remember that the European force has been reduced by 5,000 men, at the usual estimate of £BO a head, making a sum of £40,090. The most blameable part of Sir Charles's Budget is his proposed means of making good his deficit. Including the repeal of the income tax, which at the small rate of 3 per cent. had already yielded £1,200,000, and which is now well known to have proved a popular tax with the native majo rity, it is a deficit that will amount to above £2,400,000. The Budget imposes export duty on tea, coffee, sugar, jute, silk, hides, and rice. Now nearly all these articles have to compete with the same products of foreign countries. The tea culti vation in its infancy has had to contend with the skilfully-produced tea of China, and will now com pete also with that of Japan. Coffee, also a product new to India, has to contend with that of Java and 1 Brazil—even with that of our own colony of Ceylon. The sugar of India, even now while it is free, has a difficulty in keeping its place in competition with that of half a dozen fertile tropical lands. Jute is a new article peculiar to India, but it has proved a valuable substitute in many cases for hemp, flax, and even for high-priced wool and extravagantly pricedthei rp l c a o c t e t on against. taxation recog nised untaxed as it has been, hardly main ms its place against the better silks of China and Japan.

Now a Hampshire parson, whether drunk or sober, never mentions religion at all."— Fraser': Magazine. - _ The accounts and estimates of the British Museum were issued on Friday. The expenditure for the financial year ended 31st March last was in all £97,533, and a ba lance was carried to account for 1865-6 of £35,242 2s-. 9d. The estimate for next year is £100,164. The sum granted for last year was £92,127. The increase is accounted for by a sum of £7,600, being set down to meet the ex penses of further excavations at Budum, the purchase of the Kokscharow collection of minerals, and purchases at the Pourtales and St. Angelo collections. The total num ber of persons admitted to visit the general collections, ex clusive of readers last year was 432,339. This is less than the number in any year since 1859. In 1862 double the number of last year visited the museum. In 1861 the num ber was 641,886, and in 1863 440,801. The number of visits to the reading-room for the purpose of study or research is also less. Last year the visits were 105,899 ; in 1859 they were 122,424 ; in 1861 130,410 ; and in 1863 107,821. About 4,150 books seem to have been used in the reading room every day. Each reader has consulted on an average 11 volumes per day. Including music, atlases, and news papers, 38,842 volumes have been added to the library. Of these 28,426 were purchased. The additions to the department of manuscripts in the course of the year are 609 manuscripts, 51 original charters, and 71 bunco and seals ; to the Egerton collection 17 manu scripts and 3 original charters. The acquisitions in the departments of Greek and Roman antiquities include, of course, the purchase of the statues from the Farneso Palace, at Rome. There is also a collection of antiquities from Camirius, in the Island of Rhodes, whero extensive excavations have been carried on by Mr. Vice-Consul Biliotti and Mr. Salzmann. 2,560 coins and medals, of which 1,305 are Greek, have been produced dur ing the year.

Amongst geology the most interesting in relation to questions as to the antiquity of man, and the cranial and dental characters of primitive races, are the partly petrified remains of the men who in habited the limestone caverns of the South of France at the period when chamois, bouquetin, wild horse, reindeer, the great extinct ox, &c., existed, and especially the reindeer, abounded, in that part of Europe ; and at a period when the use of metals being unknown, the primitive implements were chipped flints, by means of which diverse weapons and . instruments, including needles, were manufactured from the bones and antlers of the beasts captured and killed for food. On some of those bone instruments the reindeer and horse bad been delineated in outline, with truth and spirit, and these are probably among the earliest examples of the graphic art. The value of this series of human remains, discovered at Bruniquel by the Vicomte do Lastic in 1863, depends upon the cal.° and accuracy with which every material fact as to " matrix " "position," "chemical condi tion," &c., of the crania was ascertained, on which a con clusion as to their contemporaneity with the remains of the extincts animals could be satisfactorily arrived at. To this end the cavern was Visited by the reporter in January and February, 1864 ; the human remains were inspected, and • others were then exposed in situ, and one almost entire cranium was removed And transferred to the British, Museum, with the largo mass of breccia, detached at , depth of four feet from the stalagmitic floor of the cavern, and exhibiting, with other human remains and numerous implements, conditions of imbedding identical with those . of the bones and teeth of the Cert'us tarandue and Bos printigenitm
