Once the magistrate, thinking that th 9 rich city parish could very well afford to spare the process, asked if the demand could not be waived ; but the lessees explained that Mr. Far rington was only one of many. On this occasion, however, a new element was introduced, as it turned out that when the distress was put in the last time the brokers seized property worth £l2 for the value of £4, and evaded giving an account. The Lord Mayor, who said "he dreaded to leave a man to the tender mercies of brokers and collectors," very plainly intimated that in future, accounts must be forth coming, and that he should take care to ascertain whether the last account was rigidly correct, If Mr. Farrington had been overcharged one sixpence he should have the usual legal remedy. The Lord Mayor appeared to forget that the man of peace might object to • enter upon such a controversy; but at any rate it seems clear that brokers are not likely to be summoned for conscien tious scruples. aieb today, rices.

No. 8, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields., The mission which " Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers or ALL. NATIONS a means, in the simplest and readiest of forms, that of the alphabet, to find their way, safely and easily, over the whole world. The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870, is a guarantee for the future. The whole British Press have applauded the enterprise ; many American and Continental Journals have encouraged and sympathized with the move ment, which is international, and made in the best interests of all countries. 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 titer'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 Ist day of the New-year in almost every part and city of the globe.

This, the moat 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.,der gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit 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. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office. THE REPRESENTATION OF DUBLIN. Many arguments are urged with great justice against the continued semi-disfranchisement of Dublin. No corruption has been proven against the constituency of the borough ; all that has been established is that it has amongst the body of its electors a class—the freemen—some of whom, and these mere degraded artisans, have been proved guilty of bribery. And yet, ever since the time when Sir Arthur Guinness was unseated on petition, the city has lacked one of its members. The report of the Election Commission is promised at last. It has never been pretended that so important a con stituency could be in danger of disfranchisement, but it is intolerable that. at this critical period, the capital city of Ireland should be only half represented in Par liament. THE CONVENT INQUIRY. Something must be done with Mr. Newdegato's motion. The plain fact cannot be controverted that tie member for North Warwickshire has on several occasions got a majority at his back. So far as divisions in the House of Commons go he is triumphant. The Telegraph holds that between the motion of Mr. Newdegate, and the absolute refusal of all inquiry by the Romanists, it should not be difficult for the Government to find some satisfactory middle course. " The Government can render an important service by taking the matter into its own hands. And should such be its reso lution, perhaps the mode of investigation which would offer most advantages—which would disarm all merely denominational fears and animosities, and solemnly invest the inquiry with the high impartiality of the State—would be a Royal Commission. An examination by such- a body, carefully constituted, and commanding on all sides a respect and confidence tlitirWould not be paid to a .Newdegate committee,' would eminently com mend itself to the fairplay of all our fellow-country men, both Roman Catholic and Protestant.' THE TAXATION OF RAILWAYS, According to the Railway News, Mr. Lowe seems either to see that the axiom "to err is mortal " applies even to a Chancellor of the Exchequer, or the eloquence of the railway deputation must have bewitched even facts and figures. Our contemporary says it is in a position to congratulate railway share holders on the abandonment by Mr. Lowe of his plan for equalising or rather for increasing the taxation of railways. He explained that what he • intended was to give to the railway interest .a reversion of £107,000 for the present year, but he had found that great dif ficulties stood in the way of an equitable distribu tion of this money. If, however, the northern and southern companies could agree upon some plan which would remove the inequalities complained of, he would reconsider the matter. MR. LOWE'S GUN TAX. The chirruping of the birds in celebration of their emancipation from the terrorism of the gun nuisance, seems to be a bit of poetical sentiment to which the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce do not incline their hearts. At a special meeting of that body, several members objected to the proposed licence, on the ground that it would have a disastrous effect on the gun trade, which already suffered from severe depression. It was ultimately agreed that a depu tation from the Chamber accompany the members of the gun trade, to confer wit h the - Chancellor of the Exchequer, and urge upon him the great desirability of modifying his proposals which affect the sale of guns. In the event of an universal disarmament the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce will of course send a deputation to all Foreign Potentates. IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE. There can be no question that the trade and com merce of Great Britain are materially on the increase. The Board of Trade returns are very favourable. Compared with the corresponding month of last year they shew an increase of £1,602,745, or more than 10 per cent. in the declared value of our exp ortations, while on the same month of 1868 the increase is more than 17 per cent. This favourable movement has been diffused over nearly every branch of production. Coal transac tions are 17 per cent. better, cotton yarn 17 p er cent., haberdashery .9 per cent., hardwares 19 per cent. Earthenware is the only important item to the bad ; it has declined. The total value of our exportations for the first quarter of the present year has been £45,678,774 ' or about 61 per cent. abo ve those of the same q uart er of last year, and more than 10 per cent, above those of the same quarter of 1868. THE BOUNTY SYSTEM. The United Service Gazette announces that the bounty system on enlistment is to be abolished. This news will give unbounded satisfaction to every one who takes an interest in army matters. To bribe a man to enter the Queen's service is to confess that the ser vice itself is undesirable. The bounty was rarely of much use to the men, by whom it was mostly spent in the nearest public-house, whereas a judicious reduction of the period of service which qualifies for a good-conduct medal—a measure which we hope is in contemplation would be the surest way to encourage enlistment, and by improving the men, raise the character of the service itself. THE SUSPENSION OF MAJOR-GENERAL GORDON. It seems that the suspension of Major-General Gordon from the command at Poonah is regarded in Indian milita.ty circles as a most harsh proceeding. Admitting the superior information of the Indian press, the Army and Navy Gazette protests against the in sinuations thrown out against the Commander-in- Chief of the Bombay army. It is whispered that in dealing with Major-General Gordon in the summary way he did, Sir Augustus Spencer was urged on by certain members of his staff : and that it was upon accusations made by them rather than by any just grounds of complaint which he himself possessed, that he was actuated to take the prompt steps which he did. The Gazette points out in discredit of this rumour that Sir Augustus Spencer has only lately assumed his command, and it was natural that he should, on many points, seek the counsel of his staff; and hence the notion that he was working in concert with them with the ob ject of injuring the prospects of officers serving under kin'. But while making - th6se remarks. the Gazette Referring to the "literary" portion of Sir William Mansfield's career, the United Service Gazette regrets that during his occupancy of his late high position, the public have had to 'atch his acts rather than to read his letters, With his pen he has done the army good service. And if in his case the good effects of "writing to the papers " have been so con spicuous, why is the practice so sternly condemned and prohibited in the subordinate ranks of the ser vice I)/ SERVICE NOTES. Among this week's Service news the Army and Navy Gazette mentions that Lieutenant-General Lord Frederick Paulet, C. 8., is not unlikely shortly to be offered a command—one of the 1870 Army prizes. Rear-Admiral Loring will probably proceed to Malta as Admiral Superintendent, but nothing certain has as yet been settled.—The promotion of 'baptain Richards, hydrographer to . the Admiralty, will not involve the necessity of his retirement or resigna tion.—The Depot Battalion at Chatham will be broken up next year.—Mr. Childers will probably give the command of the proposed new detached squadron to " that young flag officer," his late pri vate secretary, Rear-Admiral Beauchamp Seymour. — It is expected that the retirement, under the new scale, of Rear-Admirals Wiseman and Dickson will shortly be announced. The United Service Gazette has Cie following :—Sir James Hope, the present Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, will suc ceed Sir Sydney Dacres at the Admiralty. Admiral Hope will b- relieved by Sir Alexander Milne.—The command of the Southern district will become vacant on Ist July next.—Captain Chandos Start hope is mentioned as likely to be Mr. Childers' new private Secretary.—The Royal Marines will provide a detachment to do duty at the next Wimbledon Volunteer meeting. DIFFICULTY IN THE IRISH CHURCH. Archbishop Trench has got into serious trouble with his diocese. There is a decided dispute between him and a large number of mem bers of the disestablished Church—the diffe rence arising out of his Grace's "unsoundness" on general points, such as the Real Presence, Baptis mal Regeneration, and the .practice of confession. It is said that the effect of this unhappy dispute will be to prevent many persons from subscribing to the Sustentation Fund in the diocese of Dublin. Others predict that it will precipitate a movement, which there was before a general desire to defer, for revision of the Prayer-book. But at any rate the Irish Church does not commence its new career under favourable auspices with this schism in its midst. MR. REDGRAVE AND SANITARY MATTERS. Mr. Recigrave makes a good suggestion. In his report as inspector of factories, he offers his assis tance to look after other matters besides those espe cially under his charge. In the performance of his ordinary duties. he, Of Course, becoinei - :iEqiuTinfed with various evils, which he has no power to remedy; and he thinks that an extension of the Workshops Act, giving the inspectors increased authority, would be the means of aiding materially in the abatement of nuisances, and in improving the sanitary condition of many places, and the social habits of vast popu lations which as yet it has been impossible to reach. THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION. The exhibition of the Royal Academy for 1870 contains some thirty pictures more than lastyear, and our London contemporaries report favourably of the ganeral effect, which is agreeable and unfatiguing. The Tizzies, however, cannot say that the exhibition strikes it as one of unusual excellence. If it be true, it says, that the number of rejected pictures is to be counted by thousands, and that the thousand accepted are really the pick and flower of the lot, we can but be grateful to the Council, however we may regret the exclusion. The Daily News says a rich treat is prepared for the public enjoyment, and gives special notice to " Desmond and Ormond," the last work of Maclise. The festal-- like character of the opening day, it says, was not a little clouded by the feeling that one of the greatest lights was gone for ever in his loss. The Daily Telegraph says the exhibition may be summed up as one of average merit. It comprises a vast number of works of sterling excellence, and a deplorable amount of what is technically termed "slop." LOCKING RAILWAY CARRIAGES. The lamentable accident which occurred to the little girl Maria Dandridge on the Brighton Railway has resulted in a verdict by the coroners jury that her death was due to the neglect of the guard. He poor fellow, is beyond the effect of earthly criticism, having anticipated the blame that would accrue from his neglect by committing suicide. But these occurrences naturally lead one to consider the system of fastening railway doors. That the present one is insufficient the numerous accidents arising from it bear testimony, and surely some simpler and safer contrivance might b 3 found. Locking- the doors from the outside is objectionable on account of the helplessness of passengers in case of accident, while it is equally objectionable from the liability of persons to casual ties such as resulted in the death of the poor little girl Maria Dandridge. In France beside the ordinary handle, there is a bolt upon the outside of each door, on the principle of the ordinary bedroom safety &it, in which a strong horizontal bar lets down into a simple catch. Whether this or any other plan be adopted, it is high time that railway passengers should be protected from the dangers arising either through the incautiousness of guards or the perpetuation of a bungling door locking system. WORKING MEN'S CLUBS. The institution of workinc , men's clubs is a subject which cannot fail to enlist the sympathies of all who have the well-being of the artisan classes at heart. It is satisfactory, therefore, to see that not only are the efforts of working men turning to this direction, but that wealth is also lending a help ing hand towards so desirable an object. A crowded meeting has been held in Lon don to consider the offer of the Marquis of Westminster of a site in Ebury-street, and a sum of £l,OOO to assist in the erection of a true working men's institute. This was a sum set aside for the purpose by the late Marquis of Westmin ster, shortly before his death, and his son in this offer is carrying out his father's design. It is needless to say that it was unanimously accepted. Mr, W. H. Smith, M.P., was the chairman, and took the opportunity of recanting an error. He said that when the cheap press was first established, he, with many others, had anticipated deterioration, but he was bo und to sa y that he had m ade a mis take. No press deserved greater credit than the English, and no part of it more than the cheap press. One of the great firm of Smith and Son surely ought to know. A CONSCIENTIOUS SCRUPLE. Men are not too much given in these days to suffering for conscience sake, but some old fashioned scruples are extant among us. There is a merchant in the City of Lon don who regul ar ly re f uses as a ma tter of conscience to pay the tithes for the parish of St. Gregory in St. Paul's Churchyard. The name of Mr. George Henry Farrington, of Great Knightrider street, is familiar at the J)iansion House, although as we ha - ve seen, he is one of the most conscientious and scrunulous of men. As a member of the Society PUBLIC SCHOOL CRICKET. We are promised a good display of " talent" in the' public school match this year. Three of the' - finest Eton players will be known to their eleven no more ; but five very good ones remain, and the colts promise well. They never showed greater signs of excellence, says one critic. Mr.? Walker will be captain of the Harrow team, and will have five of last year's eleven to support him. The new men, too, are well spoken of. Land and Water asks why these public school matches excite so much interest, and command the largest attendance of the year, when a professional or even a Univer sity match will display much better cricket. Land and Water thinks the connoisseurs are drawn to the spectacle by Vie hope of discerning youthful talent. Nothing of the kind. Ladies who come in crowaito the Eton and Harrow match are not connoisseurs. They come to see their relations and friends play. It is more pleasant to them to observe the hope of a risinc , house play third-class cricket, than to watch the drat-rate .proceedings of a professional. A CANADIAN BOOKSELLER ' S GRIEVANCE. A. new addition to the many annoyances due to, the want of an international copyright is found in the case of Mr. Worthington, a bookseller of Montreal. This gentleman has been in the habit of buying books from the London publishers, and selling them in Canada and the United States. To spoil his trade in the latter direc tion, the New York publishers procured the frequent stoppage of his cases of books at the frontier, on the plea that his invoices were " cooked'' with a view to evading the duty..: In one instance as many as twenty-seven cased'' were seized, and in every instance the books have been returned to their owner, " the Government finding not a shadow of fraud." Of course these repeated seizures of goods produce serious loss and inconvenience to Mr. Worthington ; and for his own protection that gentleman has been forced to bring half a dozen actions for conspiracy and libel, and one for damages, against the United Stan= Treasury. A HANDSOME OFFER. There is hope for diplomatists. A new pacificatoe has appeared on the scene, and has offered a fresh suggestion for the settlement of the Alabama claims. Mr. James Fisk, jun., of Erie Railroad celebrity, offers to give up the whole of his personal property to the foreign stockholders on one condition. They are to consent to apply it to the liquidation of the Alabama claims. Lords Russell and Stanley on the one hand, and Messrs. Adams and Reverdy Johnson on the other, having' vainly endeavoured to come to terms, Mr. J. Fisk junior, emboldened by his successful career as a railway autocrat, is ready to come to the rescue. .He perceives that. _the exigencies of the case demand a victim, and he has the sacrifice ready. By an ingenious compromise the two disputants are to share in the offering. Eng land, through her unlucky stockholders in Erie, is to reimburse America for the loss inflicted.on her com merce, while America, through the great Mr. Fisk, is to waive her just claims. Mr. Burt little thought when he started across the' Atlantic to fight the Erie battle in the Albany Courts, that he was going to settle the Alabama , claims; but we fear from Mr. Fisk's facetious humour that the foreign stockholders and their champion have small prospects of success. The New York Tinzes, however, remarks of this offer that by it Mr. Fisk admits he owes the stockholders some repara tion. A CONTENTED PEOPLE. - - We have become so accustomed to the accounts of magnificent entertainments and brilliant displays which reach us successively from every part of the world visited by our royal princes, that the simplicity of the reception which, awaited the Duke of Edinburgh in Ceylon is quite( refreshing. The island of the cinnamon groves had no wealthy native rulers emulous to pour their trea sures at his feet, it had no enchanted caves or extraor dinary pyrotechnical achievements to boast of, but the. people, nevertheless, found means to give their royal visitor a cordial and appropriate wel— come. The fruits, foliage, and flowers with. which the fertile island abounds were brought into requisition for graceful decorations, and the young sportsman was gratified by a veritable elephant kraal at Labugam. The Ceylon Observer boasts that the absence of more ceremonious pomp gives evidence of the contentment of the people under British rule. " Our island," it says, "cazz. compare with only one of the smal%r provinces of the vast Empire whence the Prince has directly come to us. No native rajahs are here to greet him with barbaric pomp, and we can produce no military display, because, happily, we require no strong force to coerce a contented people." LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Sales probably 8,000 bales. Market quiet. bhale pits are to be included in the incidence of the Mines Regulation Bill. The Excise officers at Inverness have just stumbled on a whole set of " arrangements " for illicit distillation. Thera are hopeful symptoms of a revival in the iron trade of Bolton and the surrounding districts. FEVER AT FAnmwonTir.—Scarlet fever has lately been very prevalent in the Farnworth district, and many deaths of young and adult people are reported. Bellingham, one of the men charged with the silk robbery at Newcastle, has pleaded guilty. He received a sentence of six months' imprisonment, and was after wards admitted as evidence against his companion Muir, who was remanded, THE TRUCK ACT.—The Home Secretary does not intend to sanction an inquiry into the working of the Truck Act in Scotland ; but will give a general support to Sir David Wedderburn's measure for putting an end to evasions of the act. MURDER IN ABERDEEN.—On Thursday evening a lad named Todd stabbed a boy named Watson with a pocket-knife in the neck, in Castle-terrace, Aberdeen. Watson died almost instantaneously. Todd was appre hended by detectives in the Gallowgate about midnight. A. letter has been sent to the Rev. Brabazon Grant, rector of Ranconrath, County Westmeath, threatening him with death unless he sends away his whole staff of Protestant servants. A coffin wa painted at the botto m o f th e no ti ce w ith Mr. Grants name upon it. FATAL VELOCIPEDE ACCIDENT AT D UNDEE.— A lad, named Taylor, went out last week to have a ride on his velocipede. The machine must have upset, as shortly afterwards the poor fellow W 9! found lying on the road quite insensible, with the handle of the machine jammed in his mouth. When lifted, he expired. An extraordinary incident has occurred in Indian waters (says the Times of India). The captain of the Rocket, a small steamer that had come through the Suez Canal, saw two dhows bearing down on him. He incontinently took them for pirates, and fired upon them, wounding if not killing several. The dhows were simply native craft from Bombay, whose crews were starv ing for water, and wanted to beg a lithe from the passing steamer. A discovery of some interest has just been mado at Lillebonne. . A tradesman, in excavating a piece of ground at the back of his house, laid open an apartment about twenty-five feet by eighteen feet, entirely covered. with tesselated pavement work, generally well preserved. On the four sides are hunting scenes, represented by a forest, stags, horsemen, and dogs, very effectively por trayed. In the centre are a male and female figure of natural size, the former of which is unfortunatelyinjured. The drawing is good, and very effectively worked are the coloured tesselhe.—The Architect.
