FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS The division on Mr. Fawcett's motion, that the fellowships, scholarships, and emoluments of Tr:nity College, Dublin, be set free from all religious disa bilities, was another example of the old alliances between Radicals and Conservatives.. The Govern, ment . opposed the motion and won by 232 to 92, the minority being a curious medley of politicians. Such Liberals as Messrs. Fawcett, White, Playfair, Dixon,, and Sir C. Dilke, were allied with Lord J. Manners, Sir John Pakington, Mr. Corry,'Di. Ball, and the Hamilton family. The Government carried the day, entirely with the help of its own supporters.

Both princi pal and interest will be payable, at the option of the holders, in gold in New York, or in sterling in London, free from all Federal or State Taxes. The Bonds will carry interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, from the Ist of April, 1870; half yearly on Ist Oc tober and Ist April in each year, payable at the option of the holders, as under :-- In New York, 35 dollars in gold, at the National Bank of Commerce ; In London, £7 ss. sterling, at the Counting-house of Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. A Sinking Fund of 55,000 dollars in gold, or £ll,OOO (being 1.1 per cent.), will be applied, together with the inte rest on the Bonds redeemed, to the reimbursement of this loan at par within 30 years, by annual drawings, in the month of November in each year, the first drawing to take place in November, 1873. The Bonds drawn will be paid on Ist April next following each drawing, either in gold in New York, or in sterling in London, at the option of the holder. The Bonds now offered are issued by the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company, incorporated by Acts of the States of Missouri and Illinois, and consolidated by . an Act of the Congress of the United States, 20th July, 1868. They are tr first charge, under a Mortgage duly registered, upon the, entire property, franchises, and charter privileges of titer' Company. By the special Act of the Congress of the United States, the Bridge and its approaches are declared to be a national post road, thus placing . the affairs of the Company directly under the control and jurisdiction of the Supremo Court of the nation. The same Act makes the principal and iuterest of these Bonds payable in gold coin legal and imperative, this being the only instance' in which Congress has provided for the payment in gold of Bonds issued by a private corporation. The object of the company is the connexion, by means of a permanent Bridge, of the railway system of the south west of the United dtates, which centres in the city of St. Louis, on the west side of the Mississippi Biver, with the important lines on the east side of that river. By this means the present uncertain and unsatisfactory transfer of passen gers and traffic by means of a Ferry (now frequently, inter fered with, and at times totally suspended for several days) will be avoided, and an uninterrupted communica tion between the railroads on the east and west sides of the river secured. The Bridge Company have the exclusive right to bridge the river at St. Louis for 25 years, during which period no other Bridge can be erected within a river line of eight miles. The construction of the Bridge, which is designed also to accommodate ordinary road traffic, is being actively pro ceeded with; the piers of solid masonry, founded on the rock, have been successtully built ; and a contract has been entered into with the Keystone Bridge Company at Pitts burgh (the Company by whom most of the large Railway Bridges in the United States have been built) for the superstructure, which will consist of steel and wrought iron throughout, resting upon the piers of solid masonry before mentioned. The Contractors assume all risk of manufacture and erec tion, and are under agreement to complete the Bridge ready for traffic by the Ist December, 1871. Six Railway Companies having their termini at St. Louis (including the two lines owned or controlled by the Penn sylvania Railroad, forming part of its system for through traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard) have already ratified contracts binding themselves to pass their entire traffic over the Bridge at fixed rates of tolls in per petuitT. At the time the construction of the Bridge was determined on in 1868, data were obtained from the books of the three Railway Companies whose lines at that time reached East St. Louis, and it then appeared that in the year 1867 the tonnage to and from East St. Louis, based upon the tolls which the Bridge Company is authorised to levy, and which it may be mentioned are very considerably in reduction of the Ferry charges, would have yislded to the Bridge a re venue of 768,663 dollars. Since then, such has been the rapid development of the country tributary to St. Louis, that it has been necessary to construct the additional lines eastward ; while on the west side the railway mileage has more than doubled, It is safe to estimate that the revenue of the Bridge from the lines which have already contt a :tad to use it cannot be less than 1,000,000 dollars per annum, which must increase at a rapid rate. The requirement of the Bonded Debt will be 5335,000 Interest 5280,000 Sinking Fund 55,000 $335,000 The amount already paid up upon the Skare Capital, in addition to the proceeds of the sale of the abbve Bonds, will be amply sufficient for completing the Bridge and its ap proaches ; but, as an additional guarantee, there is an uncalled - Capital of 1,800,000 dollars, and a reserve of Shares amount ing to 1,000,000 dollars. Upon the unpaid Capital a call has been made of 600,000 dollars to provide for the payment of interest during con struction. Applications for Allotments must bo made in the annexed form, but no application will be entertained unless accom panied by a deposit of £5 per cent. on the nominal amount of the Bonds applied for. In case default is made in payment on allotment, or of any of the instalments on the days named, the allotment will be liable to be cancelled, and the amounts then already paid forfeited.

The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government Trust, which was formed in May, 1868, has called fur an extension of this mode of investment. " In compliance; therefore, with a general 'desire, it has been determined to open a subscription for a second issue not exceeding £600,000, in Certificate's of XICO, to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO. . The object, which is now well understood, is to give to the Investor of moderate means the same advantages as the lar o capitalist, in diminishing the risk of investing in Foreig and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading the in estmeut over a number of different Stocks, amours ts and reserving a portion of the extra interest the receiv in redemption as a Sinking Fu nd to p a y off the origin. capital ; and, in addition, to g i v e to each Sub saribe d pro rata participation in the ultimate reversion in these different Stocks, which will remain when the return of the original. capital has by ,these. means been accom plished. The Trust of the Second Is - sue will last.for twenty-five years, i v t the expiration of which time it is estimated that a large proportion of the Certificates wi ll, in all probabi lity, h e been paid off, arid that a large propor t i on of the Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion ; accordmgly the Trust will be wound up as soon as all the Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five years, whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks being then sold, and any Certificates not previously drawn being first paid off, after which the balance will form •the reversion to be distributed pro rata. For each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be issued s Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing 5 per bent Interest, payable at the Banking-house of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for the proportion of the half year falling due on the 15th k July not. In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-holder in the above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. This Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. Theadvantages of the investment may be summed up as follows: 1. Interest at Vs. ha. per cent. on the ;amount sub scribed. 2.-A bonds of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal atipar. 3.'A revel sion, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion.

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 tender 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, sto 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only addresses, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic ; and 23, Moorgate-street, E. G., opposite the Star Insurance Office. 'WHAT WILL HE DO 'WITH IT r With a surplus in prospect, the fi rst q uestion, says the Telegraph, is "How much off the income-tax ?" The odd penny over the long-established fourpence was imposed to meet a special emergency. But with such a surplus, why not take off at least twopence ? Still it may be said that this would preclude other remissions, which would benefit the most numerous classes of the population. Mr. Lowe will pro bably meet all reasonable expectations if he re duces the Income Tax 'to its ante-Abyssinian level of fourpence, and if he applies what remains of his bounty to diminishing the burthens on articles of universal consumption—or, using a recent happy phrase, to doing something to wards giving us " a free breakfast table." The Economist, speaking of the Budget problem, says that the Chancellor of the Exchequer conceives the desirability of keeping the present framework of taxation pretty much unaltered ; removing no great tax entirely, but of gradually lightening, out of succes s* years of surplus revenue, if they should be given us, the pressure of all taxes. The Spectator will be pleased to hear that Mr. Lowe proposes to devote part of his surplus to the national debt. It believes that the British Treasury is rapidly getting into this unprecedented position, that it scarcely knows what to do with its money, a must either " cut the legs off th e table " by taki nd ng off taxes wholesale, or attack the debt. 44 PROGRESS " OF TUE LAND BILL. The third night of the Land Bill committee sus ficed only to get through the first clause. The second has been touched upon, but it cannot be regarded as settled. There has been one lengthy debate on the paradox of dealing with the Ulster custom when found out of Ulster ; and the proposal of the Government to separate more clearly damages for eviction from damages for improvements has given rise to a per fect storm. What is to be done when members get up n i g ht after night to tell the same old story because, as Mr. M'Carthy Downing pleaded, " their feelings will not allow them to remain silent ?" It is doubtful whether the committee will close before -Whitsuntide. The Standard decidedly thinks it will not, and laughs at Mr. Gladstone's sanguine esti mates of the progress of public business. " Day by day it becomes more apparent to every one except Mr. Gladstone that one such measure—revo lutionising as it does the land tenures and industrial organisation •of a whole people —is abundant work for one session of Parliament, and that to carry through even the three bills to which. the Government is positively pledged Will require a degree of pressure, tirgeney, anti hailte, at which the private members of the House, already impatient of the demands made upon them by the Government, will murmur loudly if they do not openly mutiny." The Saturday Review declares that the Government will do nothing and think of nothing except their Irish policy; and the Oppo sition have nothing to say except that they will condone the mistakes of the Government respecting Ireland, though it is their duty to first of things at present is to Pub point them out. The Spectator must complain 'that the tendency members too much. - private GENERAL GREY. The late General Grey's political career dates well nigh forty years back. He entered the House of Commons as M.P. for Wycombe, where he was un successfully opposed by Mr. Disraeli. The same distinguished politician again opposed the General at the same town in 1832. The Daily News points • out the other competitors for political honours with Mr. Disraeli who have been removed by death. Lord Taunton, by whom he was defeated in 1835, died a few months ago. His colleague in the representation of Maid atone, Mr. Wyndham Lewis,. died more than thirty years ago, and his widow is now the Viscou ntess Beaconsfield. Mr. Tomline, however, with whom Mr. Disraeli sat for Shrewsbury during six years, is still in the House of Commons as member for Great Grimsby. NEWSPAPER POSTAGE. Referring to the hint that the Government intend to concede half-penny stamps for printed matter, the Spectator asks another favour in the shape of removing the useless rule which forbids a stamped newspaper to be sent by post to any house within three miles of the General Post-office. The regula tion produces no revenue, has no visible meaning, and is an intolerable nuisance. LEGAL TITLES. The Solicitors' Journal has an article on the pro visions of the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, now before the House of Lords. It says that it is indeed very desirable in a sentimental point of view that the present apparently - heterogeneous congeries of independent courts should give way to a simple authority, and that the present infinitely perplexing variety of practice should be, so far as it is consistent with utility and convenience, systematised and 44 unified." It considers that it would be better to abolish at once all the existing distinctions of title among judges of equal rank, and instead of Vice-Chancellor, Justice, Baron, Judge of the Admiralty Court, &c., call every such judge Mr. Justice So-and-so. It recommends a similar abolition of the terms Chief Justice of Common Pleas, Lord Chief Baron, and - Judge Ordinary, and proposes to call the judges in question Lard President Bovill, &c. THE FENIAN PRESS. The Nationalist newspapers are displaying some little anxiety to preserve for Ireland the benefit of their existence. The near approach of the time when the Peace Preservation Bill, with its vigorous provisions against seditious newspapers, will be put into force, has decidedly had the effect of moderating the tone of the latest effu sions. The Irishman says that each successive Coercion Bill indicates a national step in advance, and mildly rejoices that the Ministry have thrown off their hypocrisy. The Weekly News and the Flaq of Ireland content themselves with engravings directed against the O'Donoghue. The Nation finds the first fruit of the Coercion Bill in the motion for a select com mittee, to inquire intothe management of :con ventual and monastic institutions. It says that every bigot in Great Britain. looks , on, .Ireland as a_ victim tied to the triangle or the stakei MEDICAL EDUCATION Dr. Paget, President of the Medical Council, sup ports some of the proposals for an improved medical education, which are now under discussion. "That a consolidation of medical examining boards is nece:•sary is agreed on all hands. The medical profession calls for it, the Medical Council recommends it, the Government is preparing a mea- • sure to enact it. Its beneficial results can scarcely be overrated." But Dr. Paget complains that the present system has been represented as worse than it really is. It has been stated that the nineteen licencing bodies do not resort to the practical test of bringing the candidate to the bedside and asking him to specify and explain the disease, The fact is that thirteen of the nineteen bodies constantly apply this test, and, of the other six, two apply it partially, and one confers its degrees only on medical practitioners of some years' standing. • The sentence that has to be passed by the Court of Queen's Bench on Mr. Shimmin g the proprietor cf a , Liverpool satirical jour nal, called the Porcupine, for a libel on. Mr. James Fernie, the manager of the Merchants' Trading Comp in any, will settle a matter of importance to all interested ships and shipowners. The case arose out of the foundering of the Golden Fleece in Cardiff Roads in September last. The vessel myste riously went down, quite suddenly, after havingtaken on board a cargo of coals. The Board of Trade inquiry resulted in a supposition that one of the coal ports in the - vessel's side must have broken and admitted the water to such an extent as to speedily swamp her. The Porcupine, however, published an article headed, " Marine Coal Scuttling," in which, though no names were mentioned, it was held by the prosecution that the defendant had. insinuated that Mr. Fernie had deliberately over insured, and then scuttled the vessel. The defence was that the matter was one of - general importance, and that the article was not applicable to that indi vidual case. A verdict of " guilty" was obtained. ARMY OFFICERS. The Army and Navy Gazette points out that the officers of the army are forming an opinion that they are at times not fairly treated ; that they hint that the appellation of a "Queen's Army" is fast losing its proper signification ; that what one Government promises, another Government may not carry out, and that there is no depending with any certainty on any future that may come to them. They suggest that they are at the mercy of any gentleman who may for the time being hold the office of Secretary of State for War, and who almost invariably is not, .and never has been, in their profession. The same paper says :—" It has often been said, and sometimes wondered at, that officers are still to be found in any numbers for our Army. Some time since it was hard enough to get cornets for our cavalry. Let us hope that in the hour of need we may never be in want of officers because, w hen not needed, they had reason to feel they were not well treated." ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY. The Duke of Cambridge presided at a lecture that has been given at the Royal United Service Institu tion by Capt. H. Brackenbury, R.A. The subject was " The Hanoverian Campaign," and the battle 'of Lanzensalza , was well described. It was remarked by the Duke after the lecture that he hoped the consideration of this campaign, and the allusion of the lecturer to the disastrous effects of the want of preparedness, would weigh at this grave moment against the feelings of economy which naturally exist, but which ought also to be con sidered in relation to the many momentous interests which are at stake on behalf of the nation. OUR INDIAN ARMY. Lord Napier of Magdala takes command of an army in India that is said to have been left by Sir W. Mansfield perfect in all its ways and parts. The Army and Navy Gazette cannot but remember a famous speech :of Lord Dalhousie, who thought he left the Indian army " without any just cause of complaint." The unfortunate commentary on his lordship's text was the Sepoy mutiny. General Mansfield, however, is not likely to make any great mistake in reference to the army he has commanded. If he has deficiencies in the field, he is "an excellent organizer, a master of detail, and a prodigy of work." We may, therefore, presume that his estimate of the state of our army in the East, justifies a belief on our part that, come what may, we are fully able and prepared to ex ercise proper control over our important Indian pos sessions. No false principle of economy, however, should be allowed to cause a risk of a recurrence of the events of 1857. And the opinion of those who ought to know, such as General Mansfield, who is said to be vehemently opposed to a reduction of our strength in India, should be considered on such an important subject. A FRENCH VIEW OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. A work entitled Les Usages du Parlen2ent Anglais, by M. Maurel-Dupeyre, gives us the pleasure of for once " seeing ourselves animateds and others see ucourteous s." This essay is enlivened by an treatment, M, Dupeyrd was certainly startled at what he raw at Westminster, but he was by no means startled out of his amiability. He was perpl_exed by the, to his eyes, undignified habits d the House of Commons, and especially . by the sight of Mr. laughingly. receiving and returnin some Goodg- t humoured badinage across the g table, still an e xcuse is found in the fact that " l'Anglais rest© sportsman, Moine a l a Chambre.: It is admitted that the Speaker commands respect and awe ; and admiration is expressed of the right possessed by private mem bers of putting questions to the G overnment. The writer, however, does disapprove of one feature of our Parliamentary procedure, He remarks that the clauses of a bill can be but awkwardly con sidered by ay nolo Una Maus amollection, of tnen as THE LAW OF DISTRESS. The law of distress in England has lasted long, because on the whole it has been considerately used. Occasionally, however, an exceptional landlord is very harsh in his proceedings. At Kingston a case has been tried which will teach such persons to be cautious. A. gentleman at Clapham paid his last Midsummer's rent on the 3rd of August, to his landlord's agent. The landlord, in ignorance of the payment, put in a dis tress, and sent in a broker and his men. This frightened the lady of the house, who was unwell, and the landlord, on being remonstrated with, gruffly replied, " How should I know that the rent was paid ?" The tenant brought an action against him for putting a broker's man into the , house after the rent was paid, and the Court allowed 15 damages for the trespass, with costs. The heed less aggressor has thus had to pay for his incivility. AN UNPRECEDENTED DIFFICtTLTY. The difficulties raised with regard to the execution . of the condemned murderer Rutherford, now lying in Bury St. Edmund's gaol, present a very strange feature. The surgeon of the gaol has stated that any attempt to carry out the last sentence of the law would be attended by prolonged suffering, and might cause a very unpleasant scene. The culprit was very severely burnt when he was young, and the result is a mal-formation of his neck. Much curiosity *ill await the decision of the Home Secretary on the subject, as ideas are suggested as to the probability of the prisoner receiving a commutation of his sentence, and also of the possibility of any other form of execution being adopted in this particular instance. THE BULL-FIGHTING. No doubt the officers of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals did a laudable thing by interfering with the bull-fight ; but it is not certain that their interference was managed in the, proper way. The Law Journal takes exception to the fine and exciting raid upon the ring just when the bulls were beginning to feel the darts s hew signs of serious business. "We • hold the conduct of the officers to have been wrong, seeing that ___the animals could be protected without incurring the risk incident to pro— ducing an excitement in a large audience. A cry of 6 Tiro !' in the midst of the uproar would have been a heavy price to pay for the zeal of the Pall-mall philanthropists." As it was, the stoppage of the performance caused intense excitement and a scuffle. EARLY LESSONS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGES. The Pall Mall Gazette relates a story with regard to Japan. When the treaties of ten years ago opened the Japaneso trade, ev erything was done tor ready money, and the English and American agents introduced the dollar which had. long been the principal coin used in the Chinese foreign trade. Finding that all the monies of Japan had conventional values, of which the Go vernment was the sole regulator, an opening for a little speculation of exchanges was seen and seized. commencement was made with the szeni, an iron coin. The foreign merchants took 4,800 azeni's from the Japanese customs for every dollar which they bought in the market of Shanghai for 800, to 1,000 cash or s zenis indifferently, thus realising a swift and facile profit of at least 380 per cent on every transaction. This soon told upon the Japanese Treasury, and the kobang, a gold coin valued at 16s. Bd., was introduced with a worse result. The market became glutted, and one German humbly requested the customs tq change 250 niillion dollars in one day. The Tycoon's Government, having learnt a lesson;, began to speculate on its own subjects, who in their turn raised the prices of their goods, in order to recoup themselves for what they wore thus mulotedt In the end the Government were compelled to de what they should have done at first, definitely closed their ." Change," and, the gain was at an end. - CM/ROI( AND STATE IN SPAIN. Tue split between the Progressiets and tI4 I.Tnionieta in Spin, has had at least one rem arkabli effect, The retirement of the party opposed to ecclesiastical changes has been 'followed by a very trenchant measure affecting the position of the clergy. This bill gives to the clergy the same civil rights as are enjoyed by other citizens of Spain, and grants them freedom of action in all re ligious matters, the publication of bulls and other dispositions from Rome, without the neces sity of submitting them previously for the Go vernment exquatur ' but takes from the bishops all the temporal jurisdiction to punish, banish, and remove curates. The number of bishops is to be greatly reduced. Their salaries will be cut down. The deans, prebendaries and canons are likewise to be put on short allowances. In fine, the Ecclesiastical Budget of £1,604,466 has been reduced by £311,680. Nevertheless, it is maintained that the Spanish clergy are still better paid than those of other Catholic countries. The redOubtahle George Francis Train has been appointed Superintendent of Agencies for the Life Association of America. The Review states that the growing tendency of public opinion in the United States seems to be in favour of the abolition of State Insurance Departments and the substitution of a National Insurance Bureau in their place. EGRESS FROM PUBLIC BUILDINGS.—It is not probable that the genius of the architect will ever attain the grand result of design in public buildings, that they shall be so perfect in arrangement as to afford complete immunity from danger in the event of a panic occurring amongst the members of audiences assembled within their walls. Although. however, ar chitects and their works share the common lot of imperfection, it by no means follows that the men who pursue a noble profession should not strive after improvement, and we fear it is incumbent on us to state as our conviction that the limit of improvement in the providing m eans for the rapid egress of audiences front public buildings, w hether theatres, churches,or other places of public resort, has by no means been attained as yet. Where the audience are well conducted and leave a build ing in the most orderly manner, it yet is certain that many minutes elapse between the first movement to depart and the exit of the last individual. That this should be the case at all, and especially that it should be the case with places at once so liable to destruction by fire, and yet, so much fre quented by the public as are theatres, fully bears out our statement that the architect has much to do yet before he may say " I ca nnot improve on it."—The Mechanics' Magazine. MR. G. H. MOORE, M.P., ON MISREPRESENTA TION.—A Mr. Bolster of the county of Limerick, speaking at some club, attributed to Mr. G. H. Moore words which that gentleman denies having used. Whereupon the mem ber for Mayo wrote a very irate letter. Says he : " I do not accuse Mr. Bolster of a deliberate fiction in the utterance of this story ; because I have no reas on to b3lieve him intellectually capable of either fiction or deliberation ; but, undoubtedly, his account of the occurrence in question is as completely fictitious, both in letter and in spirit as as anything related in Gulliver's Travels." After explaining what he really did say, Mr. Moore proceeds ; " Nature has formed bols ters of all descriptions—animal° and inanimate •, but they are all of the same type—long two ends them bags stuffed with feathers—useful sometimes to support the heads of other me n, but having only - selves—one as mu ch like a head as the other ; bolsters standing on eiher end are in an anomalous potion and the Chair . man t of the Limerick Club on his leg before s Mr gene ra l Gladstone,op d all exception, the p N t N i a on a, bteoytohnat rule.
