In the last war the same ap pellation was used in the naval song commencing— " Britannia's haughty streamers wave proudly o'er the .4 tide, And f airly wave Columbia's Stripes in battle aide by sido." So on down to the modern times, when " Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," made its appearance, the same name was preserved in song. " America" has not met with as much favour, for, except the song, " God Bless America," and one or two others, which never had a wide circulation, but little use has been made of that name by lyrists. Philoso- • phers have proposed for the United States such names as " Appalachia" and " Alleghenia," but their arguments have been in vain. To be " a citizen of the United States" is the only distinction which Americans have cared to boast about, and if called Americans they feel that the title is only par tially distinctive. The United States are not "America" in the full sense of the word, which applies to both continents. A Canadian is an American ; so is a Peruvian or a Brazilian ; and by taking the name of America to themselves, the people of the United States coolly exclude the in habitants of American States and Provinces far ex pc eoerdt inof h ex ceeding, , in t t e h e amountcontinent which of i territory s nccuopeiceutipi by occupied, , them. that To call a citizen of the United States an American can only give a correct idea of his nationality if the title were restricted to their own people. But a Mexican is an American, and a Russian of the North-west is one also, and an inhabitant of New foundland is equally entitled to the distinction. Mr. Anderson argues that " the term United States is not sufficiently comprehensive 'and significant to indicate the real unity and destiny of the Ame rican people." And why not ? Assuredly " unity" is indicated by the words " United States," and as for the " destiny" of a country, we are unable to perceive how that can be foretold by a geographical name. It is true, there are other United States—for instance " the United States of but,Co Colombia" and in and official "t he Unitedpapers, they S t ates of fa Mexico," x c c l o l d " " Colombia" and " Mexico. There is no aggre gation of provinces to which the title " United States" is applied systematically, in writing or speaking, but that which is governed from Wash ington. The name is thoroughly distinctive for that reason ; and what may be occasionally done for the sake of avoiding tautology by the use of the word American constitutes no reason why the people of the United States should give up a title for their country which was given to it by their fathers, and which they have grown up to reverence and cherish. Washington's Birthday. NAPLES, March 2, 1866. The American visitors and residents in this city celebrated their national anniversary, on the 22d of February, by a dejeuner at the Hotel de Russie. The large and handsome saloon of the hotel was draped at either end with American flags, and on either side with the national standard of Italy ; and flowers, of which Naples can now boast so great a profusion, variety, and beauty, ar ranged in garlands, festoons, and bouquets, added to the fine effect of the saloon and tables. The company was seated soon after 11 o'clock, an early hour having been selected with reference to their convenience as travellers ; and the breakfast, in its appointments and service was every way creditable to the hotel. The music provided was of unusual excellence. The band, numbering twenty performers, belonged to the Second Legion of the Naples National Guard. The American national airs were rendered by them in a most spirited manner, with a true appreciation of their light and shade. The chair was taken by Mr. John Jay, of New York, assisted by E. D. Stanton, Esq., of New York, and other gentlemen. Mr. JAY, in addressing the assembly, congratu- lated them that on that day, in every capital in Europe, assemblies similar to theirs would meet together to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. But, he said, there was hardly a spot in the world where such a commemoration could arouse more interesting thoughts than come spon taneously to the American, in this heart of ancient " Italia," amid the monuments of ages long past, of tribes and of nations almost forgotten. We stand close to the buried cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, whose origin is lost in fable ; around us are the monuments. of Phonicia, and of Greece, and on every side the ruins that recall the sad and wondrous history of Rome, the gran- deur of its pride, the beauty that clings to it in decay, and the glorious remains of ancient art that survive to certify its Imperial splendour. How in contrast with these Italian scenes and memories rise the bold features of our Western home with its less genial climate and more rugged soil ; its uni versal freedom, political and religious ; its hardy, intelligent, energetic population; each man of whom knows that he is a free citizen, and composing to gether a sovereignty such as the world has never seen till now. (Applause.) Mr. JAY described, in elequentierms, the feeling of European peoples with reference to the late struggle in America. The aristocrats of Europe announced, when the war began, that our national career was ended, our nationality dissolved, and that the short-lived meteor of Republicanism had vanished as suddenly as 'it arose. As the war ad vanced upon a scale without precedent or parallel, these gentlemen made it still clearer that our Union was utterly wrecked, and hopelessly insolvent ; and when at last the war approached its close, and those who had believed their rash prophecies looked to be hold the scattered fragments of a broken empire, the smoke lifted from the battle-fields of America and disclosed the Republic of Washington, purified and invigorated, one and indivisible ; with the old flag floating in unchallenged majesty from ocean to ocean, with no stripe erased, and no star missing. Instead of wreck, and ruin, and desolation, they saw strength, harmony, and union, and throughout the extent of our wide empire, 'wherever the war had raged, they found that nothing was broken but the manacle of the slave. (Cheers.) Surely Ameri cans, with all becoming respect for the teaching of European universities, and the able statesmanship of European Cabinets, may venture henceforth to doubt their infallibility on American questions, and may be permitted, without too much regard to the advice or the wishes of the ruling classes on this side the Atlantic, to cast for themselves their own. horoscope, and to decide for themselves their own destiny.

A WONDERFUL BULLET. --I had just been order ing our men not to waste their ammun co ition, and to firo only when they saw the pe rson of a Yankeecompletely exposed, when close at hand I heard the dull thud of a bullet striking home, and turning round saw one of our soldiers, a gallant young fellow whom I knew well, throw u t up his arms and fall he avil y to the grounnd. Dismounting the ball at once, I hastened t o his side ; b finding had struck him right in the middle of the forehead I re garded him as a corpse, and deemed all further assistance wholly unnecessary. Not many minutes had elapsed, however, before the apparently dead man began to move, and when the surgeon, who had already arrived, poured some brandy down his throat to our infinite amazement he opened his eyes. A few hours later, miraculous to relate, when tho bleeding from the wound had ceased, lie had recovered sufficiently from the severe shock to re turn to his post of duty. According to the surgeon's statement the ball, striking obliquely, had glanced, pass ing between cuticle and skull, all found the head, emcr , ging at last from the very place 1•t had first entered.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass tho nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised. but to accomplish t h e work a sum of at least £l,ood more will bo required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor fam ilies in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

TIMES.—As for the particular proposals of the Government Reform Bill it would be unreasonable to feel and insincere to profess any fear of them. A Conservative Government has proposed a £lO occu pation franchise in counties supplemented by a savings-bank franchise, and no one can now be alarmed at a 114 qualification. Mr. Gladstone was careful to assure his audience last night that he him self would not have been frighteeda a of ll o o le occu pation franchise, although the proposal Go vernment was that a £l4 franchise should be adopted, and then only when the qualification arose in respect of the occupation of a house with or without land, and not of land alone. The distinction is evidence of some distrust, and the selection of such an odd sum as £l4 seemed inexplicable until the borough franchise afforded some explanation of it. But the county franchise is not to rest there. Depositors of £5O in savings-banks for two years are to be added; but Mr. Gladstone makes light ofithis addition, be cause he thinks few people would take the trouble of making the annual claim which he believes would be necessary to keep alive the savings-bank qualifica tion. It is, however, one of the many slight evi dences the speech afforded that the proposals which have been presented as an instalment on the ground of due deliberation have really been hastily adopted that such a notion as this of annual claims should be entertained. Mr. Gladstone addressed last night a crumb of comfort to the Opposition by reminding them that an admission of working men to the fran chise was not unfavourable to Conservative candi dates, but he did not venture to alarm his own sup • porters by telling them that, when working men formed half the voters, Conservative members bore to Liberals the proportion of nearly three to one. This is what the returns of Saturday prove to be the case in the present constituencies, and, unless the constituencies themselves be altered, there is no rea son to suppose that this will not continue to be the case. The Conservative party might well make a feint of opposition to the present bill, knowing that if it pass the small boroughs are their own. We, who do not desire such an end, cannot approve the means which would insure it. If we have no sym- The following new members have been added to the club :—N.

Mr. John Turner has been elected resident secretary at Queenstown, vice Mr. Price, R.N., resigned through ill-health. pathy with those who protest that the present sys tem of representation leaves nothing to be desired, we have less with those who would only alter it to make it worse. Above all, we must look further into the future than men can do whose only objects are the triumphs of to-day. POST.—When Mr. Gladstone, in the peroration of an address the delivery of which occupied two hours and a half, deprecated the opposition alike of those who might consider that the Government had clone too much, and of those who might think that they had done too little, by their scheme of Parlia mentary Reform, on the ground that they had at all events done their best, he advanced what is perhaps the most substantial justification of the general scope and tendency of the Ministerial measure. It is notoriously difficult, if not impossible, to please all parties, and if no other objection can be taken to the new Reform Bill than that it will fail to give universal satisfaction, it may be regarded as no un- • usual piece of legislation. But 'without venturing at the present moment to discuss with particularity its merits or demerits, we apprehend that the new bill, at least in its present form, will fail to satisfy the cravings of those who expected that it would furnish at least a temporary settlement of a great question. We can never hope to pass a Reform Bill which may not need modification in the course of two or three generations, but it would seem to 'require no great effort of legislative wisdom to frame one which might satisfy the requirements of the generation by which it was passed. The Reform Act of 1832 was accepted by the nation without serious demur for a quarter of a century, but the man would be indeed sanguine who anticipated that the present measure, if carried, would prove equally. successful. The basis of qualification for the fran chise continues to be a property one, and education, unless coupled with the substantial goods of this world, is still ignored. The distribution of seats remains undisturbed. In a word, the new Reform Bill simply extends the franchise, for the most part by lowering it, and adds largely to the numbers of the electoral body. That such would be one of the results of the new measure every one expected, but then it must also be said that we expected some thing more. HERALD.—It is quite certain that even if Mr. Gladstone's general estimate should be correct the working classes would in a number of boroughs have absolute power. The inevitable result of the operation of this bill would be to give them that absolute power in all boroughs in a very short time. Mr. Gladstone professed to stand aghast at the transfer of power involved in a£6 borough franchise. In two or three years— certainly before this Parliament would expire by efflux of time—most of the houses the gross esti mated rental of which is now £6 will advance into the £7 class, and their occupiers would be put upon the register as a matter of course. The gradual but sure increase in rent, prices, and wages, is already adding every year a number of working men to our large borough constituencies. It is adding them in a safe and beneficial manner. The Government bill, on the other hand, would at once give the working classes complete control in the boroughs, and would inevitably have for its effect the most mischievous results. It is not, however, in the pro visions which the Government bill contains that the radical and fatal objection to it lies. These pro visions might be modified; perhaps the Govern ment might show itself as ready to accept a restric tive amendment as Mr. Gladstone somewhat singu larly reminded the house last night it professed itself in 1860. The conclusive, the inseparable ob jection to the bill is, that it does not even propose to settle the question, and that to pass it would merely be to throw the country into a feverish and mischievous struggle for the redistribution of par liamentary power. DAILY NEWS.—So far as could be judged, the reception given last night to the Government mea sure was encouraging. If the bill did not raise en thusiasm, it met with approval from all real re formers. The objections urged against it were for the greater part self-refuting, or had been refuted beforehand by Mr. Gladstone. The reasons which he gave for not dealing with the vast and compli cated question of the redistribution of seats were not invalidated by Mr. Laing's recitation of notori ous anomalies. The argument of the member for Wick that no change is required, and that therefore a great measure of change should have been pro posed, needs only to be stated to be judged. As little consistent were those who urged in the same breath as an objection to the measure that it was not accompanied by a scheme of redistribution, and, as a reproach to it, that it would be inevitably followed by such a scheme. These critics can be happy neither with nor without a project of redis tribution. The truth is that:the measure will be op posed by them on various pretexts, but from one motive—because it is a genuine Reform Bill; and it should be earnestly supported by all true Liberals on the same sufficient ground. ADVERTISER.—WC cannot anticipate success for a scheme based on compromise, growing, year by year, less and less liberal. The measure offered by Mr. Gladstone is a smaller one than was offered by Lord John Russell in 1852 and in 1860 ; and in one important point it is less liberal than the Con servative Bill of 1859. It has, too, the capital fault of being only a portion of a measure. Reform in 1831-2, and in 1852, and in 1860, always meant a complete plan for the reconstitution of the House of Commons. But now what is offered to us is merely a Franchise Bill, to be followed next b year a by some other fraction, and the year t_e . third. 'We feel certain that the will be in favour of no such deliYieasure in one impossibility of passing entireailrtvas of in s to 1832, nor would Ler _ jord session no such hnpodssi_bieirbyyN Russell had not in- P h e a ° v Pd e l re e oa f Aa o fi lif u Ee n drn d an y impossibility in 1859, ) if position.

P a rst spoken o h k a e t na 'low,. then, can Mr. Bright doubt that with a better' House of Commons than the last Earl Russell might pass a Id but have complete bill now, if he would but speak that one word? TIIE "ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES" ON THE UNITED STATES. —Among the multitudinous propositions to amend the Constitution of the United States which are now before Congress is one which has the rare merit of not being political. It is to reform the national name, so that instead of being the "United States of America" it shall hereafter be "America." The idea is not a new one. It has been broached frequently before, and advocated by scholars and historians without avail. During the Revolution " Columbia" was the popular name of the North American continent ; when Hopkinson: wrote his ' song, " Hail, Columbia, Happy Land," he did so in obedience to this feeling, and because " Hail, United States, Happy Land," or " lands," would have seemed awkward. In various other songs once popular, such as c ' Rise, Columb ia, Brave and RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting of the R.Y.C. will be hold on Wednesday- evening next, March 14, at the club-house, Pier Hotel, Chelsea. In accordance with law 37, the sail ing committee will at this meeting submit for the approval of the members several additions and amendments to the rules and sailing regulations. The opening trip of the season has been fixed for Saturday, May 26. The usual dinner will precede the meeting, and members must give notice of their intention to dine or introduce a friend before Tuesday. ASA ANGLING. THAMES.—A correspondent of the West Surrey Times writes :—" I have heard of some excellent takes at the close of the fishing season, espectially in the beautiful piece of water running between the two locks of Moulsey and Sun bury, a distance of about three miles. One angler who had been perch fishing for several days took on an average 20Ib. of fish each day, one day's capture reaching 331 b. ; others, while fishing with Clark, of Sunbury, have been equally successful. Angling for roach has also been satisfactory, one gentleman taking ten dozen excellent fish in good con dition in one day. There have been some good baskets of perch taken from the neighbourhood of Teddington-lock by some of the fishermen there. The water has been in a bad state fur jack fishing, and consequently angling for them has been useless to attempt. The high state of the river has carried shoals of small fry into the ditches, but the assistant river keepers of the Thames Angling Preser vation Society have been employed in returning them to their proper place. It will be satisfactory to those inte rested in fish culture to know that the young fry in the hatching apparatus at Hampton are doing well, and that they have not in any way suffered from the severity and changeableness of the weather ; but this is not to be won dered at, from the care and interest which Mr. Ponder bestows upon his young. When I was over there on Saturday last I found that that gentleman had received a box of trout eggs from France in capital condition, and on being placed in the trough looked very healthy. The eggs were very fine, and about the size of those taken from the Thames trout. They were from river trout, which are not of a migratory character." THE TWEED.—Although the weather is so wintry, yet some keen anglers are not deterred from their favourite sport. On Monday the river had again got into fair order, after the recent spates and thaws, and some good sport was had. The Rev. Mr. Griffen, in Sprouston Dub, landed eight fish, ono a very clean one. Mr. Tyler fished the upper water of Sprouston, but only landed three fish. On Tuesday Mr. Tyler had a good day on the Dub, landing seven fish, one very fine clean salmon 74-Ib, and to-day he landed two fish. It is somewhat remarkable that out of the above number of fish only four were kelts. The weather is too changeable and severe for the kelts to leave upper waters, and very few have gone down to the sea—they seem waiting for a good fresh flood, which is much desired by anglers. The fish landed and returned to the water were principally very large kippers, from 271 b to 281 b weight. The fishing at Coldstream, both with rod and net, has been very indifferent, the lower waters having had a few fish at each of their stations up to this time; and, as to sport with the rod, very little has been done. On Corn hill water, last week, Edward F. Tyler, Esq., killed a very fine salmon (not on Sprouston water, as was reported last week), and another was also caught below the bridge on Saturday. We hear of little else having been done up the water, excepting a few kelts. Until there is fresh water with a good spate, we will neither have the salmon coming up nor the kelts retiring to the sea, " snaw broo " being no favourite of theirs.—Kelso Locu TAY.—This fine loch is yielding very good sport at present, in spite of the weather, which cannot be said to be favourable for salmon fishing. Frost has sot in with groat intensity, and till milder weather succeed we cannot expect very great sport ; still, Idhat has been already got is much more than we have seen when the weather ap peared more favourable. On Tuesday, Lord Glenorchy was out on the Kenmore end of the loch, and killed seven splendid salmon. Next day, the Earl of Breadalbano fished the same part of the loch, and killed five salmon — the largest weighing over 301 b. The sport at the Nillin end of the loch has been excellent, but the cold weather has prevented many fishermen going up who would other wise have been there. Colonel Vassal], of Culdees Castle, was out from Bridge of Lochy Inn, on Wednesday, the 31st ult., and killed four fine fish. On Tuesday and Wed nesday, Mr. J. Watson Lyall fished the preserved water at the Killin end of the loch. The first day he killed four salmon, weighing 191 b, 181 b, 201 b, and 241 b; and the se cond day three fine fish, 181 b, 211 b, and 251 b. We advise all who wish to get good spring fishing for salmon to pay a visit to Loch Tay. THE EARN.—Very little has been done on the Earn for the last fortnight, and now the state of the weather puts all chance of sport out of the question for some time to come. THE IsLA.—Wednesday, the 28th, was a bitterly cold day, with frequent and heavy snow showers, and blinks of bright sun glazing the water. A very few anglers were on the water, but nothing was taken excepting a few kelts, which were returned. March has opened proverbially boisterous—a heavy snow-storm having again covered the banks of the river to a great depth. The day was cold, with a biting east wind ; water in pretty good ply, and not too great volume, which has been too much the case lately. Notwithstanding the extreme coldness of the weather, some enthusiastic fishers were upon the river, but were unsuccessful. Friday was frosty in .the morning, with a stiff easterly breeze ; but about mid-day a decided thaw came on, and put some fishers on the move to try their luck, which, we are sorry to say, was very indifferent. Saturday the 3rd, was the best fishing day we have had for some time. The weather having changed to fresh brought to the river's banks a great many anglers, though snow lay deeply; the water was in splendid body and colour—the best ply of water throughout the season, so far as it has gone. Not withstanding the goodness of the day, and splendid con dition of the river, only a very few trout were taken, and no clean fish ; several kelt were captured and returned. Poring the first month's fishing, now concluded, within a distance of many miles up and down the stream, not ono single clean salmon has been landed. A number of kelts have been taken and returned, and a few good baskets of yellow trout have been made ; no trout of more than what may be called moderate size has deen basketed. The sum total of the month has been most discouraging to anglers. The nets have not yet been upon the river. Good trout fishing need not be looked for for some time, as there is a vast quantity of snow on the hills ; and until it be melted and down the water, much success need not bo anticipated. On Monday, hard frost prevailed. A few anglers were again on the water, which was in good ply, but we heard of no success. Tun TWEED AND TEVlOT.—During the past week, al. though the wintry nature of the weather has boon very unfavourable for out-door sports, several ardent sportsmen hate been pursuing their favourite recreation with con siderable success. The kelts have been very numerous, and furnishing, in some instances, good sport by their vigorous runs. Mr. Tyler, of London, killed a clean trout on Thursday in the Sprouston Water. In the same water and on the same day, Colonel Cathcart landed several fish, but no clean salmon, while Lord Dunglass landed seven unseasonable fish, and killed two clean salmon, weighing respectively 71b and 91b. Eleven clean salmon in all have now been taken on the Hissel Water. On Saturday, the Rev. Mr. Griffith, Durham, killed a dein salmon, 131 b in weight, and. another weighing 281 b. In the Teviot, on the same day, Mr. John Michie killed a clean trout, and he and some other gentlemen had fair sport in running kelts.—Perthshire Journal. NEW GOLD MINES.—A number of California miners have emigrated to Choco and Barbacoas, about 500 miles south of Panama, to work the gold mines there. — California paper. - - LOCH LATRINE AND GLASGOW.---Shortly after the completion of the Glasgow Loch Katrina works, when the full amount of interest on the capital came to be paid, and before the expansion of the supply for trading purposes had had time to develop itself, the domestic rate in Glasgow rose to ls. 4d in the pound on the north side of the river, where the power of assessment was unlimited ; but now we have all over a shilling rate, with a consump tion of nearly 50 gallons per head of the finest water sup plied to any city in the world. —Daily Mail. lADYEßTlsEnExT•J—Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — There is no question whatever that rheumatism, neuralgia, and such like painful maladies .are more rife this season than for some years past. The number of testimonials of cures effected by Holloways remedies is unprecedented, and should be enforced on the attention of all sufferers from these complaints. The parts in pain should be fomented for some minutes with warm brine, dried, and immediately well rubbed with the ointment. It will pass into the pores of the skin and give the greatest relief. Many valuable lives aro annually lost, which might be saved if early recourse in illness were made to these 're markable remedies, which must necessarilyprove beneficial and Gannet de harm.

He was an apprent i ce o f M r . T. D awson, o . Middleham, and as a jockey he acquitted himself in really good form subsequent to becoming a trainer, in which he bids fair to prove hi ghly success f u l. At the inquest held on Saturday last, to inquire into the death of Mr. Henry Ruse, late c:erk to Mr. Manning, the jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. We may state that his accounts have been found perfectly correct. Fairy House Steeplechases will take place on Easter Monday, April 2.
