THE TOY ALPHABET, — beautifully printed on tinted Cards in Case, complete; forming a most amusing and inbtructive present for Children. The elegant style in which the illustrations to each letter are got up—each with a pleasing and simple rhyme—and the strikingly apparent usefulness and novelty of the plan, which is so elegantly carried out, have pro duced the most unqualified encomiums from some of the most influential organs of public opinion, a few of which are appended. Parma and others desirous of pleasing their children, and at the same time helping , them to take the first step to learning, cannot do better than purchase a Set of these Alpha bets, which are produced in Six varieties, at One Shilling per Set. " THE TOY ALPHABET' supplies an easy and entertaining mode of teaching little ones their letters, and serves as a plaything at the same time that it takes the place of a lesson book.

The large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and in close proximity to the profitable Mines of the celebrated Real del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly £3,000,000 sterling. No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry since the completion of the great Aviadero adit of the Real del Monte Company. Ore yielding only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The result therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts .of. these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton, cannot but be considered as highly satisfaetosy, more espe cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 4s. per ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost incurred by that company for drainage, a profit of £2,411,500 to that period was made. Prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers. CONTRACTS FOR FtiESH OX BEEF.

Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Rovalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th (Cure No. 48,413) :—" Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.

The House of Commons once more revelled in joyous independence over the 'Women's Disabilities Bill, which was thrown out on Thursday night, on the motion for going into committee. All party dis tinctions were broken down, and the members went into whichever lobby seemed best in their eyes. A formidable array of Radicals of the Jacob Bright, Dixon, Dilke, Fawcett, and P. A. Taylor type, formed part of the minority of 94 which supported the bill, and with them were, as before, united such stout Conservative pillars as Mr. Charley, Mr. Staveley Hill, the Hon. G. J. Noel, the Conservative Whip, and others. But it is noticeable that after the Government declared against the change, no very great men voted in its favour. Against the measure was a long list, 220, of Conservatives and Liberals combined, together with the leading members of the Ministry. The Ayrton and Barry Dispute. The dispute between Mr. Ayrton and Mr. Barry respecting the right to possess the original drawings of the Houses of Parliament assumes a more personal Character as it progresses. Mr. Barry now publishes ai letter from Mr. Layard to do away with the suppo sition which, he says, has arisen, that dissatisfaction was expressed by Mr. Ayrton's predecessor with the mariner iii which he performed his duties. Mr. Layard says in his letter to Mr. Barry that he had every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which the latter dis charged his work. It would seem that, in paper as in other kinds of warfare, the original question too often becomes lost sight of. The Howe Earldom. Earl Howe, whose death is just announced, was born in 1796. His father was the Hon. Penn A. Curzon, his mother the Baroness Howe, eldest daughter of the celebrated Admiral. He married first, in 1820, the second daughter of the sixth Earl and sister of the late Earl of Cardigan, which lady died in 1836; and secondly, in 1845, Miss Gore, second daughter of the late Admiral Sir John Gore, K.C.B. By both marriages he had children. The eldest son, Viscount Curzon, who succeeds to the title, bas represented South Leicestershire in the Conservative interest since 1857. The seat was con tested at the general election, but Mr. Paget fell short of the second Conservative candidate, Mr. Pell, by 250 votes. Irish Primary Education. Just when a loud outcry is being raised against the long delay of the Royal Commission on Primary Education in Ireland, the Standard announces the first of the commissioners' recommendations, thereby implying that the report itself will soon be forthcoming :—" We understand that the commis sioners on primary education in Ireland have just presented their report, in which it is stated that they recommend the maintenance of the national or mixed system, with the im portant and very curious exception, that in parishes where the population is all Roman Catholic, or where it is all Protestant, the denominational system shall be introduced." Until we are in posses sion of more complete details, this brief intimation can hardly be of service. The important point will be to learn where the commissioners draw the line, for so very few parishes are absolutely all Catholic or all Protestant, that the denominational system will fare badly if the distinction be enforced rigorously. -The report, whatever it may contain, is undoubtedly very late. ' The Commission was first proposed in 1807, and it was understood that the business should be over in fourteen months. The Clergy in Longford. It seems to have been all a mistake to suppose that the Catholic clergy, warned by the decision of the judge, on the recent petition, have abstained from an active part in the contest which is just over in Longfurd. They have been as busy as ever, though the business has been done in a quieter manner. No Fenian sympathisers were con demned-to hell from the pulpitor struck by enraged priests. But the exertions of the Roman clergy on behalf of the Liberal, Mr. Greville- Nugent, were not the less earnest, their hos tility to the Nationalist, Mr. King Harman, was every whit as unsparing. This unity as one man against the Nationalist party, shews that the priests are not disposed to part with their political influence. If the Catholic bishop of the district asked his clergy to refrain from interference in this election, they gave little heed to his request. It seems, however, that he knew better. The State of -Westmeath. It would appear that no actual agrarian grievance led to the series of outrages which have been at tempted upon Mr. George J. Hornidge, the land agent, who cannot leave his house of late without the protection of constabulary. In 1863 a tenant on the farm of Sir W. R. Leeson, informed Mr. Hornidge, the agent for the property, that he was embarrassed, and that he must surrender the lands. He did so, and not only was forgiven his arrears, but was also supplied with a little money to enable him to emigrate. Scarcely had he left Ireland, when the Ribbonmen, probably sus pecting unfair dealing, threatened to take Mr. Hornidge's life, unless he let the lands to a man in the parish. Tninking that as no one had been aggrieved, the hostile feeling would soon subside, Mr. Hornidge offered to let the ground for grazing purposes, and his life and those of the men who successively rented the farmlands were then attempted. A set of determined outrages have ren dered it necessary that an armed body of constabulary should be present near Mr. Hornidge's house, and as he has not yet handed over the lands to the " man in the parish," he considers that his life may at any time be taken, while the fields, formerly occupied by the emigrant, now remain absolutely tenantless. This state of things in Westmeath presents a problem, which it is hard to solve. A gentleman is repeatedly attacked, and his house assailed by a band of ruffians,. to whom or to whose friends he has done no injustice, and the magistracy are unable to apprehend a single one of the Ribbonmen, or to sufficiently protect the land, so as to enable any tenant who takes it to feel that his happiness and his home are secure. The Burial Laws. The new Burial Bill contains many provisions which it is hoped will have the effect of doing away with the frequent heart-burnings occasioned by the hitherto unsatisfactory state of the law. By the new Act notice may be given to the incumbent of inten tion that burial shall take place in .a Church yard without the rites of the Established Church, and either with or without any other religious service. It gives no person the right of burial when he had none previously, and the ac customed fees are to _be paid to the incumbent Graveyards may be provided by private benefaction ; the incumbent and vestry to have control in the consecrated and unconsecrated parts. The Act does not apply to Scotland or Ireland. Trade Outrages in Manchester, It is urged that the case of Mr.Johnston,the master builder at Manchester, who has suffered so much intimidation and violence at the hands of trades' unionists, is entitled to -a commission of inquiry, more especially as it is stated not to be an isolated one. Mr. Johnston is a large builder in Manchester, • and it is alleged that he is unable to sleep with safety in his own house through the persistent threats of . the Brickmakers' Union. Latterly his friends have ceased to visit him, believing that their lives would be imperilled if they did. When :the. Manchester trades' unions were made the subject of inquiry three years ago, the Brickmakers' Association obtained notoriety on account of the arbitrary and foolish character of its rules. The master builders ever since have maintained their determination to set the Union at defiance, and to conduct their business without deference to its restrictions. The hostility against Mr. Johnston appears to have chiefly arisen in consequence of his repudiation of those regulations of the society, which order - firstly. - that stone from—Yorkshire -sh:alLcome into. Manchester only partially prepared for use, and secondly, that no machinery shall be employed in the process of brick making, ;Medical Attendance at Cheap Rates. A Medical Aid Society for the Metropolis has been formed, the members of which, on the payment of half a guinea yearly, will be provided with surgical, medical, and pharmaceutical aid for life, at the hands of a staff of emi nent professional men. The proposal for a society of this kind was discussed some years ago in Dublin, where doctors' fees are, as a rule, very high and more determined than in English towns. The scheme fell through, however, but • not alto gether, as several benefit societies, seeing their way to an ultimate satisfactory result, engaged medical men, to whom they agreed to pay a fixed sum yearly for attendance upon the members, who in turn were only asked to meet the expense by slightly increased weekly fees. The newly-formed Metropolitan Medical Aid Associa tion is heard of with regret by the Lancet, which speaks of the scheme as one constituting the first step towards reducing the whole profession to the level of a trade.. That journal adds, " For years past we have been struggling to separate the purely professional practice from the sale of drugs ; and we have here a retrograde scheme, not only to restore the union, but to jumble up together advice, medicine, and consultation in a common contract of a most degrading and objectionable form. These contracts will not be open to the profession generally. They are to .be made for the special benefit of some selected individuals, who are .to be certified as com petent, and endowed with a sort of new diploma by the eminent gentlemen who are to constitute the Council of the . Society, and we presume, also, the medical consultees." Self-help for the Helpless. A. very excellent and much-needed institution has just been brought prominently under the public notice. Like many other matters of practical be nevolenco, it has received active encouragement from Stafford House. A. number of gentlemen and ladies assembled there on the invitation of the Duchess of Sutherland to hear an explanation of the objects and scope of the Gentlewomen's Self Help institute. Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Morley, Dr. Cumming, and others, took part in the proceedings, which were full of interest. The scheme of the institution is to afford educated women, who are un expectedly left destitute, a means of earning a livelihood without any sacrifice of independence. There are,unfortunately,numbers of such ladies who by the death of their relatives, or by sudden reverse of for tune,find themselves without the means of subsistence. They will not steal, they scorn to beg, and they can not find work : consequently they endure extreme hardships. One such, a lady born in Belgravia and brought up in affluence, was found in a miserable garret, at the point of death from starvation, having eaten nothing but a few lumps of sugar for three days. The Self-Help Institute offers the means of earning a living by the sale of needlework of various kinds, photographs, and other articles, without sub jecting the workers to the mortifying rebuffs, and even insults, which they too often encounter else where. A Poor Excuse. It is not exactly the way to improve the tempe rance of the people for our magistrates to accept drunkenness as an excuse for offences, or, at least, as a mitigating circumstance. As there is overwhelming evidence to prove that a very large proportion of the crimes of cruelty and violence spring from excessive drinking, it is not easy to see on what grounds such offenders are to be excused if the law is to be enforced at all. However, Mr. Cooke, the Clerkenwell magistrate, is more indulgent. A. harness maker, of Pentonville, was brought before him, charged with torturing a cat. A constable, while on duty, found the prisoner in the midst of a mob setting a dog at a cat. He told the prisoner to pull the dog off, but he refused, and said "Let the dog kill it." This evidence was confirmed by a bystander, who saw someone tread on the cat and kill it " to put it out of its misery," and added that the dog belonged to the prisoner, who was intoxicated at the time. The prisoner called two witnesses, who said the cat flew at the dog, and the prisoner tried to get it off. Upon this Mr. Cooke made the extraordinary a nnouncement that if the evidence for the prosecu tion " had been corroborated by the evidence for the defence," he should have thought it a very cruel case and punished it severely. As the evidence differed, and the prisoner was drunk, he should only fine him 40s. It is a new principle in law that a prisoner's own witnesses must support the charge against him, and belongs, we may suppose, to the new code of law reforms. Considering the character of the crowds on such occasions as these, we are not sur prised that the cat torturer's associates did not rise to the required height of disinterested imparti ality. The Blue Posts Inn at Portsmouth. The Blue Posts Hotel, at Portsmouth, ren dered famous by Captain Marryat in his novels of "Peter Simple " and " Mr. Midshipman Easy," has been destroyed by fire. The inn has, since 1613, been the resort of naval officers visiting Portsmouth ; indeed, its name is supposed to have been given to it by some sea captains who on their return to that town from the Levant associated the blue posts of the old tavern with the pillars of Hercules. Captain Marryat described the hostelry on the Point at Portsmouth in the words, " This is the Blue Postesses, where the midshipmen leave their chestesses, and call for tea and toastesses, and sometimes forget to pay for their breakfastesses." There is, more over, a tradition connecting Admiral Benbow, the "Father of Grog in the Navy," with the house. This hero, while in the merchant service, won a sea fight over the Sallee rovers, and received a commission in the Royal Navy for his bravery. He used to celebrate the victory at the Blue Posts by treating his friends to "grog," a mixture said to be the great " Benbow's" own invention. The Blue Posts Hotel reached a high fame at the time of Trafalgar, when Nelson's officers, passing through Portsmouth, always made it a point to " pay their respects" to the haunt of so many old salts. "Free Russia." The letter of Profess or Kapoustin, whi c h appeared in the Goloss, and which alleges that the people of R uss ia have smiled at the errors in Mr. Hepworth Dixon's last work, is denounced by th e l a tt er gentle man as a forgery. Mr. Dixon says that Professor Kapoustin, so far from dissuading him from writing "Free Russia," positively did eve r ythi ng i n hi s power to encourage him to carry out his undertaking. Furthermore, he declares th a t a t t h e d ate w h en t h e words " smiling at errors in the book " are reported to have been written, not a single copy of the wor k had reached Russia. The Last of Vie Plamtagenets. An historical interest is attached to the record of he death of Viscountess Dambray, widow of the PRICE Id, STAMPED 2d. late peer of France, who has just expired at her Chateau of Montigny, near Dieppe. Tho last rem nant of the Anjou branch of the Plantagenets has become extinct with this lady. Her father, Count Deshaze, bore the arms of England on his escutcheon. He was page to Louis XVI., and was personally known to many now living. Her husband was the son of Chancellor Dambray, who signed the ordinances of 1830. Few who perused the intima tion of the death of the French peeress would be aware that she was of such illustrious origin, and that her family was intimately associated with some of the most exciting passages of English and French history. The Darien Project. The news from the Isthmus of Darien is very unfortunate. We were all in hopes that soon the Suez Canal triumph would be repeated, and that South America would be severed from the northern part of the Continent, as Africa has been separated from Asia. The inte rests of commerce and civilisation demand the voyage round Cape Horn should be dispensed with in th same way as the voyage round the Cape of Good Hope. But it is not to be at present. The surveying expedition sent out by the American Government report, before the completion of the task, that the enterprise is impracticable. No canal can be made. Such a decision, however, is too much at variance with the spirit of the age and the requirements of commerce to be accepted as final. The Suez Canal was often pr.onounced to be one of the most impracticable of undertakings. LAW AND POLICE. BUILDING A TAVERN.—A motion has been made in Vice Chancellor Malin's Court for an injunction to restrain a person named Box from building a tavern on ground at Wimbledon, belonging to the Church of England Provi dent Building Society. The plaintiff and defendant had purchased adjoining plots, and - the plaintiff, who was 13uilding a private house on his plot, complained that the creation of a public-house Vas contrary to the co,nditions under which the property was sold, and calculated to deteriorate the estate. The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the defendant's proposal to build a public house on ground set apart for shops was an infringeraent of the conditions, and granted an injunction. / THE NEW OMOS ACCIDENT—MORE DAMAGES.—In the Court of Commo Pleas a Mrs. Christmas obtained a ver dict by consent f £lOOO against the Brighton Railway Company Nr injuries sustained in the New-cross accident. A RAILWAY COMPANY AGREEING TO HEAVY DAMAGES. —ln the Court of Common Pleas, before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a special jury, the case of " Christian v. the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com pany " was heard. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine represented the plaintiff, an elderly lady, whose ankle was dislocated in the disastrous accident at New Cross in July last, when the London Licensed 'Victuallers and their friends were returning from the fête at the Crystal Palace. The charge of negligence was not disputed'; the only question was that of compen sation for the injuries received. The plaintiff was carried into court in a chair, and appeared to have suffered very much, being in a, nervous condition. After the plaintiff's medical attendant had been examined, the counsel for the company agreed to a verdict for £l-,000, which was accordingly awarded by the jury. A BANKRUPT CORONER.—At the Bankruptcy Court there was an examination and order of discharge sitting under the bankruptcy of Charles Joseph Carttar, the coroner for West Kent. This was a fifth petition against the bankrupt, filed upon the Ist of December last by W. R. Preston, solicitor, of Basinghall-street, on behalf of Mr. Charles Graham Carttar, public accountant, of Cole man-street, for a. debt of £550, money lent.—His Honotlr said this was the fifth bankruptcy, and he objected to the Court being made a convenience of. —Mr. Preston said that two of the bankruptcies had been superseded. If an adjournment were granted for three months, the bankrupt would set aside £3OO out of £5OO per annum, and there was every prospect of the arrange ment being Carried out. his honour said that if he in dulged in the luxury of a sixth appearance, the New Act of Bankruptcy would deal with him very differently. The sitting was thtn adjourned until the 15th of July next, at the bankrupt's expense. MISS MITFORD'S CORRESPONDENCE.—A curious dispute respecting the correspondence of Miss Mitford has arisen between her executor, Mr. Harness, and her old servant, Mrs. Sweetman on sne hand, and Mr. L'Estrange, who wrote and published the " Life of Miss Mitford " on the other. The plaintiffs alleged they had a right to Miss Mitford's letters which was infringed by the publication of the book in question. MR. BEWICKE AG/V.-Mr. Bewicke's case has been brought before the Court of Common Pleas. It will be remembered that an action for libel was brought against Mr. Baicke by . his father-in-law, a professional gentleman in Northumberland,' to whom he had sent a letter bearing an in sulting superscription through the post. A verdict was round for the plaintiff. Damages £.500 ; and a rule for a new trial, on the ground of excessive damages, has now been refused, on the ground that the libel was against a professional man, and it was impossible to estimate the damages. THE LUDGATE-HILL ROBBERY —James Webb, who described himself as a fitter without any home, was brought up at the Guildhall charged with a daring rob bery on Ludgate-hill. The offence was of the moat daring character, as it was committed at eleven o'clock in the day, when the street was crowded. The prisoner was seemloitering near the shop of Mr. Benson, jeweller, for some time., He suddenly sent his elbow through one of the windows, which are ten feet high by seven feet broad, shattering the glass into pieces. Webb then snatched up two watches and a chain, valued tqgether at k. 35, and made off with them, doing great damage to the other articles that were in the win dow. The plate glass was worth £l2 or £l5. The damage done to the goods not taken was about £5O. The prisoner, w l ho had nothing to say in defence, was fully committed for trial. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SOLICITOR'S CLERK.—At the Mansion-house, John Clark, a law writer, casually em ployed by Mr. Macreath, solicitor of Cornhill, was charged with stealing £l7O. He wayl a id a junior desk, who had been sent to the National and Provincial Bank in Thread needle-street to get a cheque for the amount named cashed, and represented that he was to take the money from ham, when he absconded. In con sequence of information sent to the police he was apprehended late on Thursday night, helplessly drunk, in his bed at his lodgings. £139 was found on him ; the remainder, it appeared, he had squandered in drink and treating. He was fully committed to Newgate for trial. WOMEN IN MEN'S CLOTHES.---The example of Mepsre. Boulton, Park, and Co., has been followed in Dundee by a couple of foolish girls, who dressed themselves on Wed nesday morning in the clothes of men, and pataded Con stitution-road at an early hour. The damsels were so pleased with their adoption of the " habits " of the " other sex " that they gave vent to their delight in a series of yells that made night in that quarter perfectly diragreeible. The end of it was that the police men, attracted by the extraordinary noise, cut short the'parade, and marched the " young men " captive to the police cells, where they were compelled to lie till ten o'clock. The prisoners subsequently confessed that 'they were gi,rls. When charged with a breach of the peace on Thursday the defendants pleaded guilty, and the Bailie without comment sentenced each of them to ten days' im prisonment, or a fine of 10s. The fine was at once paid, and the girls were allowed to leave the police buildings amid the laughter of all assembled. A FLAT BETWEEN TWO SHARPS. —Ar the Huddersfield Court House two " swells," named Charlekworth and Robertson, were charged with robbing a farmer named Ellis. The old man went to a fair to buy two cows, and met the prisoners, who told him a long tale about having had some,money left to them, and that they had recovered, as the result of a lawsuit, £BOO from a railway company. They induced him to bring out his money, and produced several new chathois purses, and presenting one to Ellis, one of them professed to secure the money in the new pnrsp. £239.05. was entrusted to him, but the men, by ringing the changes, k e pt t h e money, and returned Ellis a new purse containing only 18 new half-pennies. They then left the public-house, under the pretence of soing to purchase s ome thi ng to eat, b ut they were not een again until apprehended.—They were remanded. It is officially stated that the number of persons killed in the railway accident in Belgium on Saturday night did not e xcee d t we l ve . F orty persons were i njure d but all these are doing well. HEALTH OF COUNT BISISIARCK.—The CorreBpon dance Provinciale says that Count Bismarck's recovery progresses but slowly. This is supposed to intimate that the Count's indisposition will prevent his appearance at Berlin during the visit of the Emperor of Russia. who will pay a short visit.to that city on his way to Ems. TALENT IN AMERlCA.—American versatility kas often been the subject of remark. A striking instance of it - is given in the evidence of one of the witnesses at the M`Farland triaL Mr. J. C. Howell thus described his various occupations :—Have been in the diaguerreotype business ope year ; carried it on in Freepmt, Illinois ; pub lished a paper five months at Freeport ; practised dentistry in 1849; practised it ten years altogether ; was a drug-clerk in Ohio ; in 1840 worked on a farm ; have been in the Government service since 1861; was a clerk in the Indian Department in Washington City ; sold patent rights in 1864 ; was in that business one year • was inspector of customs in New York City in November, 1864 ; held that office for two years ; then I came to the hair-pin business ; consider myself now an inventor. —Pall Mall Gazette. M.
