A bill has just been brought into the House of Commons, which is backed by probably the most remarkable collection of names ever appended to a measure. It is. a bill "to enable owners and occu piers of property in certain districts to prevent the common sale of intoxicating liquors within such districts," It is introduced by Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the Liberal member for Carlisle ; Sir Thomas Bazley, the Liberal member for Manchester ; Lord Claud Hamilton, the Conservative member for Tyrone ; Sir John Hanmer, the Liberal representa tive of the Flint district; Mr. Miller, Liberal, of Edinburgh; Mr. Dalway, a Liberal-Conservative, returned by Carrickfergus; and Mr. Macarthy Down ing, Liberal representative of Cork county. Here are not only members from all quarters of the Empire, and of every shade of politics, but of every religion. The measure in which they unite is one for preventing the sale of intoxicating liquors by a vote of two-thirds of all residents rated for the relief of the poor, or entitled to vote in the election of guardians. A vote of this kind is to be taken on a request of a certain number of ratepayers, and if it be defeated, it will not be lawful to bring it on again within twelve months.

The host of elaborate special Handbooks and Guides which abound at the Railway Stations give many minute details to which a condensed Gazetteer of the World, in a moderate-sized volume, cannot lay claim. But what it does 'claim is, that it contains every necessary particle of Tra velling and Commercial information, derived from the best and original sources. It is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the great Ocean Steamship Companies, and many eminent Com mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the E titor's application to forward Printed Forms of Ques tions to their Correspondents and Agents all over the globe for reply. Many of the home and continental ports have already sent in the requisite information ; those more remote will all be in time to have the latest authentic intelligence inserted in the next annual volume, which will be published on the Ist of December next, so as to be received and utilised by the let day of the New-year- in-almost-every-part and city of the globe. It will embody an amount of topopraphical, statistical, commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition will be a FOREIGN Powrs' DIRECTORY, containing the names of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Cen suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Physicians, Banks, Managers and London Correspondents, Chief Merchants, Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News papers and Editors, Hotels and Proprietors; in short, no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, is the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Railway Terminus, King's Cross. Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN. tron— His Rcyal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEIICII, K.G. This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle, of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty- of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane; also by Messrs. Contts and Co. ; Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.; Herries and Co.; Ransom and Co.; Vrescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Bar clay an ; Williams, Deacon, and Co. ; Nisbet and Co.; Berners street; and at the Hospital from 10 to 5. PAINLESS and PR ACITCAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. 110SELY, the Dentist by special appointment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, MoOnGATe-STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful, loose teeth and te .cler gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in flt unerring ease and comfort unsurpassed —detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance restored—mastication and arti culation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 3 to 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only addresses, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic; and 23, Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office. UNIVERSITY TESTS. The question of University Tests has not succeeded this session in gaining the degree of public attention hoped for by its friends. However, thay have not been inactive, and the bill prepared and brought in by Mr. Dodson, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Forster, has appeared among the parliamentary papers. It is very brief and simple, and enacts that persons taking lay academical degrees, or holding lay . academical, or collegiate offices, are not to be required to subscribe any formulary of faith or make any decluation respecting their religious belief or pro fession, for 0111111 thoy bo compelled to conform to any religious observance or attend the public worship of any church to which they do not belong. There are three exceptions to this. First, nothing in the bill shall render a layman eligible to offices in the uni versity restricted to persons in Holy Orders; secondly nothing in it shall open any office not specified to any person not a member of the English Church ; and thirdly, nothing in the Act shall apply to the headship of any college. The Act is not to interfere with the lawfully established system of religious in struct:on, worship, and discipline. MALLOW. Colonel Hickie has retired from the contest at Mallow, and thus the Liberal Mr. Waters is left to contend alone with the Conservative Major Knox. Nevertheless, though the Liberal position is now much more favourable since the danger of a split has been removed, the opposi tion is still formidable. The " National " party will strain every nerve to defeat Mr. Waters, for they bear an implacable enmity against the learned gentleman on account of his connections. The Flag of 1.-eland tells the electors that he is the dear friend of "Scorpion Sullivan," and that he will vote for any number of Coercion. Bills, and that if they support him they will vote for coercion and against Ireland and self-government. LONGFORD. It is not in Mallow only that the remarkable alliance between the Conservatives and the Nation alists is noticeable. Captain Harman, in Longford, has pledged himself unreservedly to National ism. The Times correspondent observes that it is "not at all certain that his National views will find favour in the minds of Conservative elec tors, and, as the purely 'National' element is weak ill the polling booths, it will require the united strength of the allied parties to encounter with any prospect of success the electoral power of Mr. Gre vine's friends, backed as it is by great territorial in fluence and by the sympathy of the Roman Catholic clergy, although as yet they have most properly ab stained from taking any active part in the canvass, and it has proceeded on both sides with unusual quietness." DEATH OF MR. MACKINNON. The death of Mr. William Alexander Mackinnon is a loss not only to Scotland but to the country. He was chief of the clan Mackinnon, and had been for forty years a hard working and useful member of the House of Commons. Mr. Mackinnon, who has died at the good old age of 80, had distinguished himself in literature, having published a work on "Public Opinion," also "Thoughts on the Currency Question," and " The History of Civilisation." The Evangelical Alliance are resolved not to be eclipsed by the Jesuits. If the Pope has set the Old World in commotion, they will astonish the New, and the gathering of mitres and cardi nals' hats under the Seven Mils shall be rivalled by the assembly of more p..Qh crly clad but rat less uncompromising ministers in the empire city. A " general conference of Christians," ui_der the auspices of the several Evangelical Alliances throughout the world, is to be held in New York early in the autumn. It is not the first assembly of the kind, but the facts of its immediately succeeding the CEcu menical Council, and the scene of its labours being laid across the. Atlantic, render it especially noticeable. England is expected to take a prominent part, and a British New York Conference committee has been formed, whose labours commenced by summoning a public meeting to discuss the course of action. The secretary, Mr. Nolan, said it was desirable to make the Con ference a success, not merely' as a matter of senti ment and Christian faith, but on high political and international grounds. Resolutions affirming the importance of the movement, and recognising the Christian hospitality of New York were passed, and subscriptions called for. CARDINAL CULLEN. Cardinal Cullen has left Dublin for Rome, and behind him, as usual, remains a pastoral. In this document he urges opposition to Mr. Newdegate's motion. Fenianism and Freemasonry, like Papacy, Prelacy, and Peveril of the Peak are denounced together. On the other hand, Cardinal Cullen is very strong in his support of the Land Bill. i‘ The statesmen who have displayed so much zeal for the public good and the welfare of Ireland, by undertaking a work of such magnitude, may be defeated by their opponents, but they deserve our warmest thanks and the lasting gratitude of the country. In my opinion it would be fatal policy to do anything to weaken their hands or assist in driving them from power. " There seems very little fear of the Catholic clergy adopting this fatal. policy. Their attachment to the Liberal can didates in Ireland is most unswerving. Ordinarily the opinions of a Catholic are more likely to be Con servative than Liberal. In all countries where Catholics have the ascendancy they are Conservative. But in Britain the Catholic faith can gain by the principle of religious liberty, and, therefore, it is upheld. THE RITUALISTS AND BISHOP JACKSON. Some correspondent of a Church paper expressed his belief that the sudden illness of the Bishop of London, on the day appointed for the interview with the leading Ritualist clergy of his diocese, was a "judgment" for his interference with their ultra practices. Judgment or none, the meeting came off on Saturday. The Standard says, it is understood that the various matters in dispute were fully discussed, and the clergy expressed their views as completely and as frankly as the Bishop ex plained his. Nothing whatever was definitely settled, but the clergy nresent dAeliTyla. to make any fur- AN IMPUDENT LETTER WRITER. correspondent, whose "able contributions" the Morning Advertiser seems ridiculously over anxious to take credit for as having " often ap peared in our columns," has forwarded to that journal the copy of a letter which he has addressed to the Prime Minister, and which is as offensive in tone as it is impertinent in diction. The subject chosen for this piece of upstartism is the alleged position of Mr. Gladstone in reference to Mr. Newdegate's motion. The writer charges the Prime Minister with having too slightingly disregarded the motion in question and left to the Solicitor-General tho presumed easy task of defeating it. Here is a specimen of his style. " You ought," he says, " during the recess to have decided on your course, and directed the Home Secretary at once to say that early on Monday you would announce the - views of the Government. Instead of which he has left a universal impression that the Government are afraid to deal boldly with the ques tion. In vain : front the difficulty you must, and do it at once with dignity and decision." The Morning Advertiser and its correspondent evi dently look upon the Prime Minister as a thing only for political "laws to peck at." The remarkable coolness with which the Advertiser inserts this hectoring epistle, as if it finally polished off the Premier and all the world as well, is not the least notable feature of the procedure. THE INDIAN BUDGET. The Anglo-Indian press is very severe in its stric tures on Sir Richard Temple's budget. The Times of _lndia, published in Bombay, says that " its only features are continuous deficit, and an Income tax of 3, per cent.," and believes that •on investigation Sir R. Temple's supposed im pecuosity would prove to be due to the IEI4 of ordinary business skill in manipulating the funds which the State has already within its reach. The Calcutta Englishman is even more bitter. A more unsatisfactory Budget could scarcely, it says, be imagined. It was not merely the announcement of a deficit which made such a painful impression on his indignant audience. Could they have been certain drat the worst was known, men might be content to hold their peace, but by his own confession Sir Richard has obtained his present results by an " adjustment" of accounts, a phrase that may cover any amount--of.-financial jugglery am', flcus-pocus. His chief care has been to make things pleasant, and clever accountants have been employed to draw up a balance-sheet as though it were a brief. THE ENGLISH ARMY IN INDIA. India is the country of precedent and routine, but two innovations were made on the ordinary rule at the recent meeting of the Calcutta Council to hear the financial statement of the year. The Viceroy, as the member in charge of the Public Works Department, made a supplementary statement, and said in so doing he wished to set an example which he hoped would be resolutely followed on future occasions. The other departure from the usual rule was the speech of the Commander-in-Chief. Sir William Mansfield's departure from India was fixed for a day previous to the general discussion on the Budget, and therefore the Viceroy called upon him to make his speech there and then. The most noticeable part of his address was an allusion to the recent army red actions. The European army, he said, had now been reduced to the lowest point possible. He had concurred in every reduction during the last ten years, but to go further, and reduce the British forces in India still lower would be a mea sure fraught with danger, and one which he hoped the Viceroy would, under no pressure, agree to. It was true that the British Em pire did not repose on the sword, but the policy of justice must be supported by solid force. The British military force was to the Administration what iron was to blood. If the due proportion ceased, the measure of power fell accordingly, and the conflagration of 1857 ought to skew us the policy of strength. The speaker, who was painfully in earnest, was listened to in profound silence, and a deep impression was made by his words. ONE VIEW OF THE GREEK AFFAIR• "LL.D " (if the middle letter ought not to be S.) has an uncommonly strong notion as to how the unfortunate affair in Greece ought to be settled. If Europe intends, he says in a letter to the Standard, to tolerate "this political nuisance, this cave of Adullam, this refu glum peccatorum, this centre of agitation, this Medi terranean convict settlement, this curse of the Levant, the only remedy, if such it can be called, is to apply the same rule as in the Don Pacifico case." Demand a sum, he suggests, that shall be remembered nomine indemnitatis—one hundred thousand pounds for each victim, or say half a million—to be paid in a limited time, not exceeding ten days, and at the expiry of that time let the Piraeus be blockaded. In ten days more, in default of payment, he recommends that the customs' throughout the king dom should be seized upon. The effect of this he says, would be very simple. The money must be raised in the country. The peasants would be indignant and revenge themselves on the robbers wherever they could lay hands upon them. They would, he contends, be starved out, hunted down, and slaughtered. So much for the practical states manship of "LL.D.'s." CONVICT LABOUR IN PRIMONS. The Asociation of Weavers, who state that their trade has been all but destroyed by w h a t they believe to be the un f air competition of the convict prisoners, have had a correspondence with Mr. Brace on the subject. The latter was re ported to have stated that the articles manu factured ,in the prisons were not sold under market prices. , The secretary t o t h e Association wr ote the Home Secretary that h e was m i s i n f orme d , and received an invitation to supply particulars. The former enclosed a printed list issued by the Wake fien prison authorities, with the prices affixed, and observed that not only were the goods sold in Manchester and other large places at the agencies of the prison, but that commercial travellers were sent out specially to visit the prin cipal towns in the kingdom. The Association complained especially of the introduction of steam into Wakefield prison. The Home Secretary replied that the Wakefield prison was not a convict prison under the control of the Secretary of State, and referred the Weavers' Association to the authorities of the West Riding of York.. The reply of the justices will be interesting as affording another instance of whether prison labour is remunerative or not. SUGAR POISONING. The adulteration of food has passed from the phase of offence which might be termed a social dere liction, and reached the positively criminal stage. The Food Journal states that it has received from Chel tenham a sathule of sugar so fearfully adulterated with chromate of lead that it wonders how any of the partakers of it survived to tell the tale. The sugar in question, it says, appears to be what is known in the trade as " pieces," to which the chromate of lead has apparently been added, with the intention of bringing up the inferior article to the appearance of the best Demerara. The attempt, however, seems to have been made so clumsily that the naked eye at once detects the mix ture, the lead being in lumps large enough to allow of its being picked out .with the fingers. Ap pended to the sample, says the Food Journal, is a somewhat remarkable document in the shape of a series of printed apologies from the grocers who so,d the sugar in Cheltenham, the whole sale dealer who supplied the article, and the refiner who manufactured it. Neither of these, it thinks, emerges very creditably from the transaction. What have the Cheltenham magistrates done in the matter ? MEND YOUR WAYS. An abstract of replies, received in answer to an inquiry made by the Secretary of State, shews a very general acknowledgment that our roads have been improved under the working of the new system introduced by the Highway Acts of 1862 and 1864. The name of the suggested alterations is legion, but the following are among the principal:— Making up the accounts to the 25th of March, in stead of to the 31st of December ; greater power to compel owners to trim, cleanse, remove, &c.; repair ing highways out of the common fund; a less expensive process for stopping . up use less highways; making the acts compul sory ; greater facilities for borrowing money; appointment of more surveyors; greater power to waywardens; abolishment of all turnpikes; and repair of the roads out of the common fund or county rate. Six boards also suggest that the districts should be co-extensive with the poor law union. THE COTTON TRADE. The Operative Spinners and Minders Association of Preston have just issued to the Master Cotton Spinners a lengthy memorial. This document, after alluding to the universal depression of trade in 1867-9,refers to the amicable arrangement in the spring of last year for a reduction of 5 per cent. in the spinning branch, and to a subsequent compulsory reduction of 5 pei cent. It concludes by expressing the belief of the memorialists that now, with an improved trade, and an increased margin of profit, the masters are in a position to give them an advance of wages, or at least to restore them to the position they formerly occu pied, which was on a level with that of Blackburn and other districts in East Lancashire.. THE TORNADO. Mr. Forbes Campbell, who pleads the cause of the Tornado's officers and crew, perseveres; but he does not reap the usual reward of perseverance. The Spanish Government has offered a compensation on " a gratuity" of £1,500 in discharge of all claims arising out of the seizure of the vessel. Mr. Campbell has written another letter, endeavouring to shew that the sum is altogether inadequate to reimburse the men for their losses and their long imprisonment. The Foreign Office sent a sharp reply. Mr. Hammond says the Government have notified to the Spanish Ministry their acquiescence in the condemnation of the Tornado. They cannot therefore re-open the question. Would Mr. Campbell be good enough to say whether he will or will not accept the £1,500 ? Such is the gist of an epistle which seems intended to end the controversy. INFALLIBILITY. According to a telegram from Rome received by the Univers, the Council has had an official an nouncement of an early discussion of the Infallibility question. The first batch of the documents relating to the dogma have already been distributed among the Fathers of the Council. The Univers rejoices that the work has at last been taken in hand, and affirms that it has given great satisfaction to Catholic hearts. The scheme having been put before the Council in a definitive manner, it. is possible to form an idea of the time when the decisive step will be taken, and the Church will have an infallible Pope. The promulgation of the Schema has been spoken of as likely to take place at Pentecost, so that in about five weeks time the world will witness the completion of the momentous work, which is expected to be the signal for the separation of the Ultramon tanists and the representatives of modem society. THE REORGANISATION OF THE VOLUNTEERS. The War Office has just issued the first of a series of " Reserve Forces Circulars," in which the scheme for reorganizing the Volunteer Force is indicated. The practice of issuing a special circular for each distinct subject and for each separate branch of the Reserve Forces will be discontinued, and the " Reserve Forces Circular" will be issued quarterly, and will contain all future orders affecting the Militia, Yeomany Cav a l r y, V o l un t eer C orps, Enrolled pensioners, and the army and militia reserves, and so form a complete record. The general arrangements for the consolidation of the reserve forces commence in the cir cular with a list of the new military district. All branches of the reserve forces will be placed under the command of the general officers of the regular forces commanding in the several districts ; the command in all cases to be so exercised that the Militia, Yeomanry, and Volunteers shall be led by their respective officers. The rules affecting the volunteers commence by a state; ment that Articles 97 to 107, 110, 111, 117, 251, and 287 to 289 of the Volunteer Regulations, 1863, are cancelled. These related to the assemblies of volunteers in large numbers, to the responsibilities of commanding officers on such occasions, and to the instruction in camp duties, and the formation of volunteer camps. The rest of the can celled articles related to inspectors of volunteers and are cancelled in consequ ence o f th e a b o liti on o f the inspector ships. Company drills will be ordered by officers com manding companies or corps; and battalion drills by officers commanding corps or administrative regiments as the case may be ; but in garrison towns notice of the dates fixed for battalion drills will have to be given by commanding officers to the officer commanding the garrison. When two or three battalions of volunteers of any county pro pose to meet regularly for brigade drill under their own officers, application will be made to the general officer commanding the district, and he will obtain the concur rence of the lord-lieutenant of the county and grant a general permission extending over the current volunteer year, or such shorter period as he may think advisable. Official inspections will be arranged for by the general officers commanding districts,who are, however, instructed to consult as far as possible the convenience of the com manding officers in fixing the days and hours of the in spections. It is recommended that in the case of admini strative regiments the corps should be inspected separatly at their own headquarters every third year. Inspections are to be looked upon as a distinct duty, and may be held before or is after, but f but not during ooris ) rlevyisihewinsgoliobroigooaudpeydrills. bar racks or form camps, and also for joining military camps. The arrangements for brigading the reserve forces and for holding reviews and field-days, do not differ materially from the old regulations. When a brigade is to be com posed partly of regular and partly of reserve forces, officers of the r egu l ar army will be appointed brigadiers and brigade-majors. When the brigades are composed of reserved forces only, the general officer will appoint the senior commanding officer in the brigade as brigadier, unless in special cases he may consider it more desirable to appoint an officer of the regular army. The remainder of the new regulations relate to the repair of arms and requisitions for clothing. THE FRENCH FUNDS. According to Reuter's telegrams the French Rentes to-day were quoted 74f. 30c.
