ART'S CELEBRATED SONG "EVER THINE," by Franz Abt. London : R. Cocks and Co., New Bur lington-street. 35. Do. for piano, 3s. each ; free by post for 19 stamps each.—A cruel reviewer once recommended an author to "think more and write less." We cannot tender the same advice to the author of " Ever Thine ;" on the contrary, such songs make one wish the gifted com poser wrote and published mo re . " Ever Thine" is a fitting companion to " 0 ! ye tears," which it resembles in its plaintive and somewhat operatic style. It is one of thoso delicious melodies which, when heard, excites a desire to hear it again. As we before remarked, when noticing one of his ballads, Franz Abt succeeds most where other writers frequently fail, viz., in the accompaniments. In the song before us he sustains his reputation as a skilful student and able exponent of the art of writing accompaniments, which in truth is not a very common accomplishment. The range is easy, and the song alike suited to a mezzo soprano or tenor voice. We can confidently recommend it.—Vide Bath Chronicle, April 12, 1866. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " SALEM CHAPEL," &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 th© nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro 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, re f use d a d m ittance, andhave to spend night aft er n i g ht i n the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will he 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 families 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.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY._ The fear of pain and dread of ope - ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEI are of vital importance from availing, themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex• ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speciallte uertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth unt iLt hey become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person cm be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, mutual, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation tree. Teeth from ss.

Charsley, coroner for Bucks, resumed the inquiry at the Crooked Billet, Langley-marsh, into the circum stances . surrounding the death of the newly-born male infant found barbarously murdered at Iver Moor. Itwill be remembered that the corpse of the child was discovered with its head severed from the trunk, and lying in a stream of water in the grounds of Mr. Ellis, a gentleman of property. That a cruel murder has been committed there can be no doubt, and had it not been for the ingenuity displayed by the Bucks police the actual mother of the child would never have been known. Susan Jarrott, a young woman aged 22, has been accused by the po lice of the murder, .and is now in custody of Super intendent Hodgkinson, of the Bucks constabulary. Mr. W. Gardiner, solicitor, of Uxbridge, ap peared for the prisoner. Ann Jarrott, prisoner's mother, was examined, and stated the families in which her daughter had lived as servant, and also described a bag she had made out of an old shirt to hold dirty linen. Mr. Raynor, surgeon, of Uxbridge, examined pri soner with Mr. Bruce, another surgeon, and they were convinced she had had a child, but she denied it. She was examined a second time, and the suspicions of the medical men were confirmed ; but she still denied that she had been confined, though they said she must have been, and that re cently. Her bedclothes were produced, and their appearance seemed to justify the accusation. The medical men said that the accused must have been confined within a fortnight, but they would not say whether the child's head had been Sc! ered from its body before or after it had had a separate existence. It might have died from suffocation. The fellow-servants of the accused were called, and stated that she lay in bed from eleven to five on the day on which she is supposed to have given birth to a child. She got up the next day and went about her work as usual. One of them was in the room with her for some time, and she groaned and appeared to be in great pai n . Mrs. Susan Maria Ellis, of Iver Moor, mistress of the accused, said the prisoner had been in her service about four or five months. When she first came witness remarked her size. She seemed very large round and awkwardly built. It was explained that her sprained foot prevented her getting about, and made her get large. On Sunday,the she was told that Jarrott was in great 25th u pain, and it very ill. the Monday, ab ou t h a lf- past n i ne, witness was in the kitchen, J arro tt cam e t o while i y l e i the boiler for water. She appeared slighter. On Monday she mentioned it to the nurse, as she almost fancied she had had a miscarriage. She explained that she knew the flooding was from a different cause. _ _ A verdict was returned that the deceased was the child of Susan4arrott, and that it had been mur dered by some person or persons, but by whom there was not sufficient evidence to show. A very a ffecting scene occurred at the inn where the inquest took place when the mother of the pri soner, who had been brought from Norfolk to identify the bag in which the murdered child was found, learned the nature of the charge upon which her daughter was arrested. The prisoner was removed in the custody of Mr. Superintendent Hodgkinson, and now awaits her re - ex amination by the magistrates. TIIE GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL.—The Hanley borough petition in favour of the bill w as d es p a t c hed on Weanesday night, a fter having been signed by 5,500 per sons. The petition from the neighbouring town of Stoke was signed by 1,500 of the inhabitants. A petition, signed by between 5,000 and 6,000 persons, has been for warded from Preston to Lord Hartington for presentation to the House of Commons. Lymington, 'in Hampshire, has'also petitioned in favour of the bill, and a petition with the same object was adopted at a public meeting at Abingdon, in Berkshire. On Friday a public meeting was held at Deptford, at which resolutions in favour of the measure wcro adopted.-. The following article we find in last Saturday's number of The Cosmopolitan :—" The Vatican and the Tuileries are once more on terms of cordial good-will. The Holy Father has, at length, fully and gracefully acknowledged the many claims of the present ruler of France to be held, as Were his predecessors on the throne, the eldest son of the Church. Perhaps the recognition is rather tardy. It is, however, a full and gracious recognition, couched in terms that do no less honour to the Holy Father's own kindly nature than to the illustrious object of his gratitude. Our readers are aware that on a recent occasion an address, signed by a large number of French Catholics, was presented to his Holiness by the Duke de Rohan. It was in reply to this address that the Sovereign Pontiff spoke of the services of France to the Papacy. I have not forgotten,' says his Holiness, ' what the French Catholics have done for the Holy See. I shall never forget that in 1848 it was an Ambassador of France who aided me in my departure for Gaeta, and that it was a French General who in 1849 brought to me the keys of Rome. The proofs of sympathy which have been extended to me by the Emperor's Govern ment will never be erased from my memory.' It would be strange, indeed, if he could forget the powerful and unequivocal support given to his throne by France since 1848. No individual ruler nor people could afford to ignore such devotion, or abstain from acknowledging it sooner or later in becoming terms of gratitude. And we have always felt sure that Pio Nono, judging from his well known noble and generous impulses, would one day make the public, emphatic, and unstinted acknow ledgment that he has. At the present juncture this declaration is more significant than it could possibly be if made at an earlier day. The Papacy, it is the general belief, is in imminent danger. Internal foes, foreign emissaries for the most part chiefs and tools of an anarchical directory, are maturing their revolutionary plots within the walls of the Eternal City itself, while a powerful and rapacious State, that has waxed strong by preying upon and swallowing up its neighbours, and exists only to do the bidding of the revolution, solemnly decrees the overthrow of the Temporal Power ! United Italy ! the heterogeneous popula tion of Piedmontese, Sardinians, Neapolitans, Sicilians, Florentines, &c., &c., fancying themselves the lineal heirs of the Roman Empire, must have Rome for their capital. At such a time it is just and natural the Vatican should recall the last eighteen years, and, generously proclaiming its gratitude to chivalrous and Catholic France, look with unabated trust to the same powerful and never failing ally for succour and defence in the apparently impending crisis. His past services to the Papacy, no less than his recent emphatic declarations touch ing the Temporal Power, entitle the Emperor to the Holy Father's unreserved confidence ; and it is because, if the storm of revolution does break over the Eternal City, the Emperor of the French is the only Catholic Sovereign likely to be both able and willing to come to the rescue of , the Papal throne, that we especially rejoice at the entente cordiale be tween the Vatican and the Tuileries. The present Pope, all admit, is a Sovereign naturally of liberal tendencies. He proved his active sympathy with ' progress' and ' liberalism,' to his cost, in 1848. But neither the disasters of that period, nor the re verses which have since overtaken the Papacy, have changed his liberal convictions, nor cooled his sym pathy with whatever is wise and expedient in the liberalism of the day. Within the present week we have his Holiness's own unequivocal declaration on this question. In reply to an address from Belgium, which, among other matters, deplored that the re volution should have interrupted reforms inaugurated by the holy See in 1848,' the Pope declared that the first years of his reign had been the happiest, and he was persuaded that pehce would facilitate the accomplishment of his ideas.' The peace necessary to ' facilitate the accompliAimont of his ideas' will be secured to him by France, under whose tegis he can carry out his liberal reforms, without again having his concessions turned against him to his destruction, as in 1848. But the holy Father assures the world that he looks for succour to a higher Power than Kings and Emperors, and none can doubt it who regards his sublime fortitude in the face of his threatened overthrow and the extinc tion of his throne. The majestic calm of his bearing in this crisis extorts the admiration of all who come into his presence; and, should he fall, we may be sure that even those who compassed his overthrow will say that, many and great as were his virtues, exalting even his exalted position, no act of his long, distinguished, and troubled Pontificate ' be came him like the leaving it.' Rome, the Eternal City, may dwindle from being the capital of an in choate kingdom of jarring and repellent provinces. Whether or no this be its destiny, no one of the long line of his predecessors on the Papal throne will be held in more universal reverence than Pius the Ninth." ARMY CONTRACTS.

The address which on Easter Tuesday was pre sented to His Holiness by seven hundred French men was read by M. le Due de Rohan-Chabot. The following is a translation of both it and His Holiness's reply as given in the Bien Public:— ADDRESS. Most Holy Father,—France, whose children we all love to call ourselves, has during all times placed at the head of her titles of glory that of Eldest Daughter of the Catholic Apostolic and Boman Church. The faults she may have committed have been expiated by great misfor tunes, and, we presume to say, have been followed by a still more lively and affectionate love for the Church. That love which has existed during all the ages of Christianity has received a new impulse at the sublime spectacle of your virtues and your sufferings. We know that your heart beats for France. How many hearts in France beat for your Holiness ! We do not fear to assert that the re solution of our assemblies has been hut, the feeble echo of the sentiments of our country, whose will cannot and shall not be mistaken. Whatever sorrows, Most Holy Father, the future may have in reserve for you, we all come in the name of our families and of the immense majority of our fellow-coun trymen to declare here, in the presence of God and of your Holiness His Vicar, that the love and devotion of Catholic France shall never be extinguished, but that she shall always keep watch around thy sacred person and around that throne on which sits that temporal sovereignty of which it has been said by high authority that "Ages have made it, and have well made it." Yes, always shall Catho lic Franco regard the cause of your Holiness as the cause of faith, of justice, of honour, of civilisation, and of true liberty. Deign, then, Most Holy Father, to permit us, after the wondrous solemnities at which we have assisted, to place at the feet of your Holiness our most ardent prayers that you may still wear for many years that triple crown from which, even at the price of our blood, we would wish to remove the thorns, and that you will grant to us your Apostolic Benediction as the pledge and the symbol of that of Our Lord. These words, so pious, so sublime, and so energetically expressive of the will of France and of her children, deeply impressed all who were present. REPLY OF TIIE MOLT His Holiness, in a clear voice, but with evident emotion, replied in the following terms : My Children,—These days of Easter are days of con solation and of joy. France has always consoled me, and does still console me. You aro the evidence, for you bring this day great joy to my heart. It is true that it is not France alone which has given mo this affection ; but when I was obliged to leave Rome it was a French ambassador who prepared and covered my departure ; and when I returned to Rome I had at the right of my carriage a French General, who has since become a Marshal of France. During the 20 years that I have, by the will of God, and no twithstanding my own unwo rthiness, occupied and throne, France has given me constant proofs of her filial attachment, and her Government has of late, as you well know, affirmed the necessity of my sovereignty to secure spiritual action. The enemies of order, the revolutionists, and the im pious, deny that the temporal sovereignty is required to The Pallas, 6 ,—lroncased s crew Connolly, weighed e 2 ig , h 37 ed 2 tons, 600 tons power, Capt. M. her anchor from Spithead on Wednesday morning, and made a trial of her engines, under the superin tendence of their builder, Mr. E.,Humplirey s , pre paratory to the ship entering upon her official triPl - speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay. ship left Spithead at 10.30 a.m., drawing 18ft. bi n . of water forward, and 2 , lft. 7in. aft, and complete in everything for sea service, excepting _coals. Mr. John Ward, assistant chief engineer at Portsmouth dockyard, was on board, representing the Admi ralty in the superintendence and working of the ship's engines. Mr. W. H. Brain, assistant-master shipwright of Portsmouth dockyard, represented the Chief Constructor's department of the navy. The ship was started at first with a low pressure of steam in her cylinders, and made her way leisurely out south-east of her anchorage at Spithead, the wind being on her port bow, at a strength of about 5, but with the water quite smooth. At 11 o'clock the Culver cliffs, the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight, were about two miles under the ship's lee, the weather thickening, and the force of wind in creasing to 6. The engines had by this time ex ceeded 70 in their revolutions, no pressure being put upon them, and the barrel-shaped " ram" bow of the ship was driving up in front of her a wave of foaming water permanently level with the till of her hawse-pipes, and sending tons at a spurt through the hawse-pipes on to her fore main deck at each interval of a few seconds when she met the slight head seas with a greater inclination, heavy sheets of water being at the same time flung inward on the vessel's upper deck over the bows. At 11.20 the engines had reached 80 in their revolutions, the Culvers, with the east end of the Isle of Wight, be ing hid from view in the thick weather astern, and this was continued until noon, when the ship's course was reversed to north by west and her head laid for Spithead. In running back for Spithead before the light breeze the appearance of the heaped-up waters in front of the ship's stem became more extraordinary than when the ship was steaming against the wind. The height of the raised water was equal in its per manence with that raised when steaming against the wind, but its formation was now more distinctly marked. In steaming against the wind a confused mass of broken water, extending half-way up from the water-line of the ship to her bowsprit, could only be seen—an immense wave without definite form. On steaming back, however, to Spithead with the wind on the ship's quarter, the form of this mass of waters under her bows became more de fined. Its permanent height, as already stated, was level with the hawse-pipes, and close to the stem of the ship'was a continuous " boil" of foam, as pre -viously when steaming against the . win 4,, In addi tion to this there were white rollers of brokenAvater rising continuously up through the clear green water fully GOft. a head of the ship's stem in board. It was the result of the actio n of the " ram" or pro jecting plough bow, of which more will be said in our report of the ship's t r i a l over t h e measured m i le in Stokes Bay. The Pallas anchored at Spithead again at 1 p.m., the results of the day's steaming satisfying all the officials on board that the ship's machinery was competent in every particular to carry her through her trial over the measured mile. The engines were never eased or stopped from the time the ship left Spithead until the signal was made on her return to stop them to anchor the ship again. The Pallas is ordered to make her trial of speed at deep draught at the measured mile in Stokes Bay to-morrow, weather permitting. The Chief Con structor of the Navy, Mr. E. J. Reed, the designer of the ship, with the other officials from the Admi ralty, is expected to be present at the trial. Saturday having been the anniversary of the birth of the Princess Beatrice, and her Majesty, with the Royal family, being at Osborne, her Ma jesty's ships at Spithead, in Cowes Roads, and in Portsmouth harbour " dressed" with the Royal standard at the main and the national ensign at the fore and mizen, and Royal salutes were fired from the ships and land batteries in honour of the occa sion. The Royal standard was hoisted all over the dockyard, the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard, Haslar Naval Hospital, the gun-wharf, and all other public establishments. The Imperial Austrian screw frigate Friedrich, Capt. Woplinger, anchored at Spithead on Satur day morning, from Bremerhaven, bound to the Adriatic. She exchanged the customary salutes with the garaison saluting battery, and with the flagship Victory, carrying the flag of the naval Commander in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir T. Pasley. The Fried rich will fill up with coal at Spithead previous to resuming her voyage to the Mediterranean. The unarmoured screw , sloop Cameleon, 17, 952 tons, 200 horse power, Commander T. M. Jones, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the Pacific, and exchanged salutes with the flagship of the Com mander-in-Chief on anchoring. She sailed from Valparaiso on Jan. 17, passed Cape Horn on Feb. 4, with very fine weather at the time, and reached Stanley harbour, Falkland Islands, on Feb. 8. Stanley harbour was left again on Feb. 12, and the line crossed on March 11. Since reaching the lati tude of the Azores contrary winds were experienced until catering the Channel. The invalids and naval supernumeraries brought to England by the Came loon were transferred from her on Saturday to the flagship Victory, and the former vessel was expected to sail from Spithead yesterday afternoon for Sheer ness, to dismantle and pay out of commission, after nearly five years' foreign service. The Cornwallis, sailing Indiaman, arrived at Spit head on Saturday morning from Madras, with time expired expired and invalided soldiers on boar d from various regiments serving in India. They will this morning, and the ship will afterwards sail for the Thames. the de -4th Regimeut, The head-quarters of the a disembark t, f ind the time-ex taehment of the 56th Regim w c h i l l o arrived at Spithead pined and invalided soldiesrts Castle, were all disem barked Castle, in the sailing India! dnarosiin Lawrence, Winchester, ships on Saturday in Portsmouth superintendence of Col.

Never since the time of the Crimean campaign until Saturday have eight private shipsbeen seen lying at Portsmouth at one time freighted with troops rc list in the army within three or four weeks,of their return home, the majority of them with the hope of soon finding themselves again en route for India. Surely some inducement might be held out to them to re-enlist •in India, and thus save-the heavy and apparently needless cost of their tr4port to Eng land and back to India. 4.• The following Commander B.

On SatilraaY I,N of th inquire into the best means of p reventin g the pol lution of rivers, commencing with the Tha mes. The commissioners have made a pe rsonal ins p ectio n of reportthe Thames, and have visited and made public in quiry in Oxford, Reading, Windsor, Kingston, Richmond, Lechlade, Great Marlow, Worthing, Croydon, and South Norwood. The main conclu sions to which they have been led are as follows : " That the navigation works on the upper Thames are in a neglected and ruinous condition, and that some of the weirs and locks are dangerous. That some weirs pound their water at too great a head, and thereby permanently water-log adjoining lands and the suburbs of some cities and tows, as Oxford, Eton, and Windsor. That the existing method of working the navigation by flashes' is antiquated, rude, and destructive to the channel and banks of the river, and at times to the crops and produce on adjoining meadow and other lands. That fishing, ballasting, orier growing, and weed-cutting are not exercised with due care for the even Row of the river water and the safe maintenance of the naviga tion. That there is no systematic forming and maintaining of the banks, islands, and aits. That some portions of the river have been privately em banked so as to prevent flooding of adjoining lands ; but that, for the greater part of the distance between Cricklade and Kingston, the land is liable to extensive and injurious flooding. That sewage from towns, villages, and houses on the bank of the river pollutes the water. That the river is fouled by refuse from papd-mills and tanneries, as also by floating carcases of animals. That there are many shoals and some mud banks in the river consequent on the incompe- tence of- theThaniesComrnissionds to maintain it in a navigable and proper state. That the several acts of Parliament regulating the upper navigation have been proved to be inefficient for their intended purposes, and inconsistent with each other. That the available income from all sources at the com mand of the Thames Commissioners has for some time back not been sufficient to meet current ex- penses. That the Thames Commission, as now constituted, is far too numerous for efficient work ing. That from experiments conducted under •the Sewage Commissioners, and evidence taken on the subject of sewage utilisation, and also from our own inspections and investigations, and also from the evidence appended to this report, we believe that town and house sewage may be so utilised on land as to preserve the river from the danger of pol lution." The Commissioners also submit the following re commendations : " That the whole river be placed under the super intendence of one governing body. That this body be the existing Conservancy Board, provided that the board receive an addition of an adequate number of representatives of the local interests of the upper Thames ; and such representatives to be elected by the persons who now constitute the Thames Com missioners. Thus after the lapse of a period to be allowed for the alteration of existing arrangements, it be made unlawful for any sewage, unless the same has been passed over land so as to become purified, or for any injurious refuse from paper-mills, tan neries, and other works, to be cast into the Thames between Cricklade and the commencement of the metropolitan sewerage system, and that any person offending in this respect be made liable to penalties to be recovered summarily. That it be made in cumbent upon the conservators to see to the enforce ment of the above prohibitions against pollution of the river, and that for this purpose power be given to them to visit and inspect works, and, after due notice, to close the outlets of sewers, drains, and discharge-pipes into the river within the limits de scribed in the last-preceding recommendation. That, subject to proper safeguards to prevent abuse, powers be given to local authorities to take land compulsorily for the purpose of sewage irrigation, to an extent not exceeding one acre for every 50 persons whose sewage is to be applied. That the upper navigation from Lccht d so Staines be put into working order, persons a maintained. That the rights of privatetrsed for the to take tolls at locks no navigation be abolished, and in all weirs on the Thames now belonging to long er tlat the property i er with the liability to main tain to transferred. the conserva rights which interfere with. tors. That an fishing _ the level or free flow of the river be abolished, privateta th esai persons,u wears with such compensation as may e tf r i s g , e b tl: e be settled by Parliament. That the conservators be empowered to levy upon a ll waterworks taking water for domestic or trade Purposes from the river Thames a rental in propor tion to the volume abstracted , the maximum of su ch rental to be n ame d by Parliament. That the conservators be empowered to borrow the necessary money for the restoration and maintenance of the upper Thames. That, order to provide adequate security for money so in b conserva tors be authorised to . e borrowed, the to give a first charge upon the future revenue of the upper navigation to the post ponement of the existing bonds, and to pledge, as collateral securities, the rental abovementioned upon the waterworks, and also the revenue of the lower navigation. That upon the aforesaid securityth_ Public Works Loan Commissioners be authorised to make advances to the conservators. That powers be given to the conserva tors brnds on com pound with the holders of existing the upper navigation. That lepers be given 'ne w tg to the conservators to make emban ines, and carry tirourout out the valley of the rilla the cost of such un arterial drainage operations, tax upon the properties provements to be met by a so improved."
