A tallyman sued for an account, and the defendant swore that the name signed to an authority for his wife to pledge his credit with the plaintiff, was not his (defendant's) signature. The writing, he said, was that of his landlord, and was written at the wife's request at a time when defendant was from home. The judge then ordered defendant to write his name, and on his having done so declared that he had committed gross perjury,- the two writings being exactly alike. The man then stated that he had signed the authority. The Judge said that such an offender ought to be prosecuted, but it would be in vain to take any steps, for—there was no public prosecutor. Ile could order a prosecution, but he could not order any one to prosecute. Ile had fre quently made foolish attempts of the kind, but he was now wiser. attaches no nnportahce to the proi.us:ll to sell the line and rcpudiat3 the shares.

Agants in iae principal towns in Englfiti;?!wholeeale at A correspondence is published in the Tall Mall Gazette between Mr. Jacob Bright, M.P., and Mr. W. Acton. The latter gentleman speaks on behalf of the medical profession, upon which he alleges an unfounded and gratuitous attack to have been made by the former. At a meeting of the Social Science Association Mr. Bright made use of words to the effect that the doctors who under took the duties imposed by the Contagious Diseases Acts, would be the coarser and inferior portion of the profession. Mr. Acton wrote and asked Mr. Bright tf such was his meaning, and on the words being adhered to, he writes a letter in which he appeals to all who are acquainted with the present examining sur geons of lock hospitals to decide whether, instead of being " necessarily the c o arser , th e i n f er i or port i on o f the profession," they arc not as highly educated, as con scientious, and gentlemanly a body of men as are to be found in the medical ranks. The highest men of the profession, says Mr. Acton, are impressed with the importance of carrying out the legal enactments. "Not only the medical prof'ession, but the house of Commons, and the public generally, will laugh at your supposition that the best women Jf the land will turn their backs on men for doing their duty." Mr. Bright says that he has been mis anderstood with regard to having said anything against surgeons who examine those who voluntarily seek their aid. He spoke of those who were "engaged to the legal outrage of defenceless women!' 8, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, LONDON, W. FOURTH EDITION, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., ANNALS OF AN EVENTFUL LIFE.

FUNDS to defray the he avy current expenses. Assistance s. J. W. WALDRON, Secretary. In compliance, therefore, with a general desire, it has been determined to open a subscription for a second issue not exceeding £600,000, in Certificates of £lOO, 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 large capitalist, in diminishing the risk of investing in Foreign and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading the investment over a number of different Stocks, and reserving a portion of the eitra interest and the amounts received in redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub slriber a 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 acoom plished. The Trust of the Second Issue will last for twenty-five years, at the expiration of which time it is estimated that a large proportion of the Certificates will, in all probabi lity, have been paid off, and that a large proportion of the Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion; accordingly the Trust will be wound up as soon as all the Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five years t 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 a Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing 5 per cent. 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 July next. rn 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 bu retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawu, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. The advantages of the investment may bo summed up as follows: 1. lntvr. , st at Vs. bs. per cent, on the : amount sub scribd. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. 3. A revel sion, eventually divisible among the holders of he Coupons of neversion. Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

Whitlock Darby, Esq. OFFICES. 42, Poultry (E.C.) This COMPANY has been formed with the object of pur chasing the entire FREEHOLD known as the SAVILLE HOUSE property, LEICESTER-SQUARE, with the houses in Lisle-street, abutting on tho same, and creating thereon (a site unequalled in London for the purposes of the Campany) a THEATRE, WINTER GARDEN, RESTAURANT, and ) 2 1ERCA STILE CLUB. THE THEATRE will be one of the most spacious and elegant in the metropolis, and will accommodate about 6,000 persons. The stage will be ten feet deeper than that of Drury Dane, and will be fitted with every modern and scientific appliance. Great care has been taken that an uninterrupted view shall be obtained from every part of the house. Tho purpose of the directors is to give the grandest musical and spectacular effects that have yet been pro duced, in addition to dramatic performances, and at such prices of admission suitable to all classes, ranging from 6d. upwards. Separate staircases will be provided to every part, of the house, from entrances in Leicester-square, Lisle-street, and Leicester-place. _ _ THE WEITER GARDEN Will surround the auditorium, stocked with the choicest plants, adorned with statuary and ornamental fountains, and will be available for all visitors except those in the gallery. Bazaar stalls for the sale of fancy articles and refreshment bars will be placed in convenient recesses. _ THE GRAND CIRCLE will have an exclusive entrance from Leicester Place, and will accommodate 200 persons in the balcony, 27 private boxes luxuriously furnished, and two royal boxes, having each a boudoir in the rear. The buildings will be of fireproof construction through out, and special arrangements for warming and ventilating. FIRST-CLASS CAFE, RESTAURANT, DINING, and SUPPER SALOON, served in the best style by a Parisian chef and assistants, at a strictly moderate tariff. Attached to this part of the building will be spacious BILLIARD-ROOMS, with FRENCH and ENGLISH tables. THE MERCANTILE SUBSCRIPTION CLUB, SO much required in London, and for the successful carrying gut of which the directors have already secured the co-operation of many of the leading and most influential firms of the west end, is an important feature of the undertaking, and will be in that portion of the building overlooking Leices ter-square. _ THE RESOURCES OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT being BO manifold, its undeniable position, and a FREEHOLD in the centre of 3,0 n on, the directors confi deafly anticipate paying the shareholders a very large dividend ; a neigh bouring establishment, without the many advantages pos sessed by this company, is yielding its shareholders 25 per cent., and has averaged a dividend of 20 per cent. for the last fiva years. A contract has been entered into with Mr. JeitE KIRK, of Woolwich, for the erection and completion of the whole of the buildings. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the ofaces of the company, or the bankers and solicitors. THE BENEVOLENT SOCIETY of ST. PATRICK. Instituted in the year 1784.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. THE DEBATE. The problem why the debate was so dull is of very obvious sclution. It was very one-sided. Moreover, the Conservative members who spoke were under palpable restraint. The Spectator says the tone of all the Opposition speeches was similar—a tone of strong dislike suppressed for prudential reasons. Dr. Ball's consistent line of thought that " free con tract" is the highest form of tenure that the intellect of man has been able to devise, and that in legisla ting to rostrict such freedom, Britain was relegating Ireland to a lower civilisation, was the ablest effusion on his side. The Saturday Review observes that a Conservative member traced the dulness to the Lill being so moderate that the Opposition could find no substantial objection to it. " But if dull, the debate has been sensible and to the point, and has settled that the Irish Land Bill, with some, perhaps with many, modifications, is to become law." The Economist holds that public °ninon on the land question has much improved of late years, and tho bill is the expression of that improved opinion. The measure does not attempt to create ;it is content to recognise. "It does not profess to give real rights to property ; it only pro fesses to legalise unnoticed rights of property." THE IRISH AND THE LAND DILL. Some of the Londonderry tenants have shewn themselves favourably disposed towards the Land, Bill. At a meeting at 1\ ewtownlimavady, resolu tions in favour of extending the Ulster custom to the whole of Ireland were passed ; but satisfaction was expressed with the provision in the Land Bill enabling tenants to purchase the fee-simple of their holdings, as thereby a substantial and loyal yeomanry would be established in Ireland. It was also de clared that the Govern ment, by the earnest desire they had shewn to r e p ress the grievances of the tenants of Ireland, are entitled to the fullest confid ence and support. The Drogheda Corporation have resolved to petition Parliament in favour of extend ing the Ulster custom to the whole of Ireland. It would appear that 110 W fixity of tenure is exploded the Irish aro coming to view the question more reasonably. EDUCATION DILL AMENDMENT. "M.P." confirms the statement that at a meeting of Liberal members it was agreed to move an amend ment to the second reading of the Education Bill, the amendment being that of which Mr. Dixon gave notice. " But, in order that the importance of the action of these gentlemen may not be overrated, it should also be known that less than 25 members were present; that some of them raised an earnest protest against the course adopted ; that the proceed ings were as hasty as the proposal ; and that many, even of the most advanced supporters of the League, who were absent, have since condemned it in the strongest terms." NONCONFORMISTS AND THE EDUCATION BILL. The Nonconformists o f the metro po l is have hold their annual parliamentary breakfast. Naturally the Eprdinucciaptalion topic of debate was the Government which was criticised. with some severity. Mr. Miall stated that nothing could be more disastrous than the te ndency of the bill, for it would strengthen denominationalism, and he was convinced that the whole . stem of education would be radically chan g ed if the bill were allowed to be come law. It was reco mmended that the stro n gest o pposition should be given to the measure by the Nonconforratsts. HABITUAL CRIMINALS. There is some probability that the Habitual Crimi nal's Act will be extended to Scotland. The Lord Advocate has promised to consider the matter. The Pall Mall Gazette is told that great alarm is felt in the North at recent indica tions of an increase of crime; indeed, it is generally reported there that since the passing of the Habitual Criminals Act there has been a large migration of the most accomplished English thieves across the border. A jeweller's shop in Edinburgh was broken into the other_ day, in the most daring and skilful manner , and 5.:3,090 worth of goods carried off. mother robbery of a most audacious character was also committed in the same city in the open daylight. It is quite natural that the Scotch should object to import . ng all the rascals whom we make uncomfortable in England. PUBLIC PROSECUTORS. The Soi:::.z . tors' Journal believes that Mr. Eykyn's Bill for providing public prosecutors will, it pro perly carried out, be an improvement on the present state of things. It inBtancea. a rewarltable case in It will be rernbered that there was some talk about the probable effect of Mr. Lowe's last Budget upon the Bank of England. On the side of the Government it was argued that the Budget would make no difference to the account—that though the payments to the Exchequer would swell the public deposits, yet all those payments would equally reduce the private deposits, and so the aggregate means of . the Bank—the entire money it has to lend—would be as much as it was be fore. But the Economist declares that there will be a great difference, for since the beginning of the year no less than £18,000,000 has been paid into the Bank, the largest sum ever collectei in the same time, and - the establishment has grown richer. This result is owing to the fact that whilst public deposits have increased £4,417,000 over last year, the private deposits have decreased only £1,058,000, a difference of £2,750,000. Thus only one-third. the increase in public deposits has been compensated by the diminution in private deposits. Now, says the Economist, at some time or other the Bank will bo poor, for judging from the analogy of our present experience, only one-third of the defi ciency in the public deposits will be made up by an unusual magnitude in the private deposits. WATERFORD. There is, it appears, to be a petition against the return of Mr. Osborne for Waterford, on the ground of bribery and intimidation. Mr. Smyth, the defeated Nationalist candidate, has arrived in the town for the purpose of " fivaliy examining the evidence." Whilst doing this he has addressed his friends, and made the curious announcement that the petition was to be presented with the utmost energy, though they were to bury all animosity. Whatever benefit a petition may be to Mr. Smyth, it can hardly fail to be generally useful, if it reveal the true causes of the lamentable disturbances which took place on the polling day. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The Army and Navy Gazette evidently disapproves of a committee searching into the items of the Abys sinian War. It asks whether anyone, except the clover people who are " tryi n g t o bring themselves into notice," cares about the committee which is spending the public money in order to find out how other money has been spent. Lord Napier of Mag dala, who is much needed in India, has Leen detained for examination. " And we only hope," adds the Gazette, " that when they report, some member will move for a return of the expenses to which the committee has put the country, and that the report will be found to be worth the ink and paper." TIIE COMBINED NAVAT. SQUADU3NS. An official report has been published of the per formances of the ships of the combined Channel and Mediterranean squadron 3 during the cruise between the 23rd August and the 2nd October ult. A report was duly submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty by the Captain of the Fleet, George 0. Willes, on the proceedings of tho ships during the cruise. In reply, their lordships allude to the abso lute necessity of keeping her Majesty's Beet and ships, snore at sea and especially out of home ports. This has been strongly impressed upon their lordships by the evident inexporienco in fleet sailing, and of other professional duties at sea em hibited by many officers. Their lordships express a hope that by a system of frequently exchanging officers and men between sea-going and reserve ships, by the formation of squadrons of evolution, by con stant cruising of the two fleets, and by so reducing the present redundant number of officers so that they may be more constantly kept at sea on full pay, much improvement will be erected. SIR JOSEPH wnrrwonm's GUNS. One of Sir Joseph Whitworth's shells broke up in a gun during some experiments at Shoeburyness few days ago. This was a grand occasion for his opponents to come forth and make the most of the circumstances, so Sir Joseph writes to the Times, to say that he was not present when the shell in question was fired, and it was altogether out of the programme. lle has in his possession a shell formed from the very same piece of metal, which did not break up even or. striking a three-inch plate against which it was fired, so that whatever may have been the cause of the occurrence, the material is not to blame. TIIE CITY OF BOSTON. The arrival of the Bremen ship Smidt at New York affords a spark of hope that all may not yet be over with the City of Boston. The Smidt came into port with 200 passengers, after a voyage of forty-four days. It would be rash to reason from one case to the other, especially as the City of Boston was much the faster vessel, and her voyage was shorter. But she has been out three days fewer than the Smidt, so that, after all, there is a slight chance of her turning up. The Bremen vessel was delayed by the great severity of the weather, and by numerous icebergs. STEAMSHIPS. One of the most remarkable features in the growth of the British merchant navy is the enor mous superiority of our steam fleet to that of any other country. In the year 1868 the British Empire possessed no lobs than 977,292 tons of sea-going steamers, against 135,259 tons belonging to France, 22,194 to Holland, and 36,856 to Hamburgh. The total for the United States is not given, but it was 198,115 tons in 1867, and the trade is known to have been since at a standstill. England has more than twice the tonnage in steamers of the States named put together. These and other facts we have previously quoted shew that if England is declining, it is certainly not in shipping. THE RAILWAY OF TILE FUTURE. Recent experiments with the Fairlie engine and the narrow—that is, the two foot—gauge have es tablished some remarkable results. The narrow line of rails undoubtedly does save a large percentage of dead weight in rolling stock; and the Fairlie bogie engine consumes 25 per cent. less fuel than the ordinary machine, besides its advantages in turning curves, less wear and tear, &c. The Railway News takes upon itself the responsibility of stating that the result of these experiments is correct. And why, it asks, do not the opponents of the new system come forward, and establish their case ? or why, if they cannot do so, is not the Fairlie engine brought into operation ? Why on earth do we go on building expensive broad guage lines, especially in our colonies and India ? Are we to remain tied in the hands of the few obstructives who say we won't move on ? Are those portions of our island which have no rail accommodation to remain in that condition because we cannot build railways that will pay, and because we may be told, as the Brighton E ailway share holders were, that we had better light our pipes with our bank-notes? We think not; the time has now arrived for ascertaining why this system of double bogie engines is not adopted." THE ERIE RAILWAY. The Tat'.lityv News discredits the alarming rumours which have been spread respecting the in tention of Fisk and Gould to confiscate the share capital held by those who have adhered to the pro tection movement. There is no ground what ever for apprehension. The latest news from the shareholders' representative now in America is decidedly favoural)l. Fisk and Gould are evi dently becoming alarmed at the prospect, and the latter redoubtable personage has even intimated that he would be happy to have an interview—which honour Mr. Burt, the representatiVe of . the Protec tion Committee, declined. .1143 • ,Radivau .News ARCHIEPISCOPAL GRAMMAR. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have been guilty of a slip of the pen in a letter to the Archbishop of Armagh. - It is not to be wondered . at, therefore, tint in these dap of educational agita iion such a thing as bad grammar on the part of two archiepiscopal dignitaries should be a noticeable fact. At the same time, it would appear that " Subscriber to the Times," who gives the start ling intelligence to that portion of the Times-reading; world that has not alr3ady noticed it, is somewhat unmerciful on such points when he says that the bad grammar of the two Archbishops was such as "any schoolboy should be ashamed of." Tho writers be came confused in the wording of a joint hitter, and having Legun with the words, "My dear Lord Arch bishop," ended with, "We are my dear Lord Arch- I , ishop," thus combining the angular and plural pronouLs. THE EXPERIMENTAL WORIIIIOUSE. After an interesting experiment to decide whether a man suffering from congestion of the lungs might be safely dosed with castor oil and opium—the result proving conclusively that he could not, the good folks of St. Pancras have been trying. to discover how l ong th e i r " o n people," as they call them, can do without food. An old man has lately been a resident in the famous institution. Ile was seventy-two years of age, and decidedly the St. Pancras workhouse was the wrong place for him; but like many other inmates he had the good fortune to die a short time rtso. At the inquest which followed this not in frequent consummation of St. Pancras treat ment, it was stated in evidence that the "old people" in the workhouse had their teas at five o'clock in the afternoon, and got nothing more until breakfast time, which was at eight the next morning. The Irish joke, and therefore thoroughly practical. 'it is to be Loped we have had the last of them, foz we have before us serious work to do. TRADE AND FINANCE. SATEP.DAY EVENING. The proposed revision of the Chinese treaties, as arranged ny the Supplementary Convention recently sent home by Sir Rutherford Alcock, continues to meet with deter mined opposition from the merchants engaged in C,o trade. The increased import duty upon opium will, prcbally, have the effect of gradually diminishing the Indian trade, until the Cw inese drug obtains complete possession of the market. If the Indian Government have determined to gradually relin quish the trade, they cannot adopt a better plan than that now proposed, for it is notorious that the cultivation of the poppy is now carried on throughout the length and breadth of China, and that one province—Szechuen— produces opium to the extent of two-thirds of the foreign supply. It is difficult to believe, however, that the Indian Government are now troubled with qualms of conscience on account of their having dealt with so noxious a drug, especially when they have derived a handsome revenue from this source for a long time past. Even as the trade is at present carried on, Indian opium finds some difficulty in contending with native pro duce in the Chinese markets, and if the additional impost of twenty taels be conceded—or about £7 per chest of 1331bs.—the chance of success becomes still more remote. Unless very different arrangements are made for conduct ing the Indian trade, the revenue to be derived from opium will gradually diminish, for it has become evident that the Chinese authorities do not care to prevent the cultivation of the poppy in China, and a considerable extension of it may be looked for, to the great detriment of the Indian trade. The Money Market has remained without important feature during the past week, though there has been an active inquiry in connection with the settlement. There has been no export demand for gold to the continent, and, in the present state of the E xc h anges , no s hi pments w ill be made. Considerable disappointment has arisen on ac count of the non-introduction of the Turkish Railway loan in London. There can be little doubt that if the loan had been brought out in the ordinary way, bend fide holders of Turkish stocks—a numerous and powerful body—would have readily supported it, as a complete system of rail ways would greatly add to the resources of Turkey, and increase the value of the older stocks. Instead of this, the miserable device of a lottery has been adopted. and the character of the loan lowered in con sequence. Lotteries have now been declared illegal, even in Paris, and have become obsolete institutions which are not likely .to be revived. At the same time there is little doubt that the capital required for the construction of the lines will be forthcoming, and the Ottoman Empire will then be in a fair way of posses sing the means of internal communication, in which she has been so long deficient. The wheat trade has shown more firmness, not to say animation. Stocks of wheat in granary have been on the decrease, and this diminution is likely to progress, as further withdrawals must now take place, and our imports will not be sufficiently heavy to compensate the inroads upon the stocks. The quantity of wheat in the hands of millers is very small, but farmers have large holdings, and the prospect of foreign supplies, on the re-opening of navigation, is good. Whatever may be the result, therefore, of the comparatively short supplies now on sale, it is evident that prices cannot permanently take up a higherrange unless the con ditions of trade vary very much from those now extant. ilnglish wheat must be within is. per quarter dearer on the week, whilst a similar improvement has taken place in Russian and American qualities, which for a long time past have been unduly depressed. VERDICT AGAINST A POLICEMAN.-3 police-constable named Norman, stationed at Slingsby, has been found guilty of manslaughter by a coroner's jury . at Walton. During the Walton steeplechases there was a not, and the police charged the mob. The constable Norman struck a young man on the head with his truncheon, and the blow proved fatal. The man was committed for trial at the York Assizes, bail being accepted. Great excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood, and some rioting ensued. ANOTHER CHARGE ON ARSON.—A young man named Symons has been sentenced to a term of sever. years' penal servitude for setting fire to his dwelling house at Sitting bourne, to defraud the Norwich Insurance Company. The suspicions of the police were excited, and they instituted the prosecution. The prisoner, who had previously► borne a good character, fainted when he heard his sentence. FALSE PRETENCES.—Robert .Tames Brown, formerly • merchant in Cornhill, charged with having obtained bllls )f exchange for £1,500 by false pretences, has been com mitted to IsTenate for trial. - The officers who have been selected to accompany Lord Elcho to Brighton on Saturday next to make arrange ments for the review are Lord Italielagh, Lord Truro, Lieutenant-Colonel Wilkinson, Adjutant Bottelier, Lieu tenant-Colonel Vickers, Lieutenant- Colonel Money, Lieu tenant-Colonel pu Flit Taylor, Colonel Thomson, and Lieutenant-Colonel Cochrane. It is estimated that about 30,000 Volunteers will attend the review this year. Professor Newman has delivered a lecture at Bir mingham on Women's Suffrage. Ile said that, in speaking of women's satrap., they didn't claim universal suffrage. In England all men hadn't the suffrage. All tint was meant by "women suffrag " was that women should not be deprived of the suffrage ty the mere fact of their being women, if in other respects they were duly qualified. The claims of the ladies general:y were advocated with much strength and eloqueneo. UARLYLEi=-A correspondence has been car ried on for some time in the new:papers in the county of Durham on the question whether Mr. Carlyle is a pan theist. The Northern Echo publishes a characteristic letter from Mr. Carlyle himself, in which he says :—"No ; I never was a pantheist, nor a polytheist either. For the rest, never mind. So far as they (his accusers) do not t4e4 well, the damage is their own.'
