The Committee earnestly appeal for support. The Charity is entirely sustained by dmations and subscriptions. HENRY RINGBOOTE, Treasurer W H. WAPWRIC, Secretary. Office, 121, Pall mall S. W The mission which "Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers of 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 :itor'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. It will embody au amount of tepoisraphical, statistical, commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition will be a FOREIGN PORTS' DIRECTORY, containing the names of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Con suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Physicians, Banks, Managers and London Correspondents, Chief Merchants, Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News papers and Editoi s, Hotels and Proprietors ; in short, no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility.

Vice-Patron— His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. President—B is Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G. This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. . It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance' of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital aro capable of containing several Hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to Maintain them. - Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.

The division on Mr. Birley's motion in th House of Gammons is interesting, as shewing the extent to which Protection still survives in the Legislature. Mr. Birley moved for a selec, committee to inquire into the operation o. the commercial treaty with France, the manoeuvre being. unquestionably connected with the moribund Reciprocity agitation. Mr. Birley and Mr. Staveley Hill counted 'only 50 members in their lobby . the opposition mustering • 138. Of the forlort hope only two—Mr. . Henley and Lord Johr. Manners, can have the slightest pretension to a place amongst the leaders of the Conservative party. All the rest were of the Charley, Cawley, John Hardy, and Newdegate type. Mr. Chadwick was the only Liberal on the side of the Reciprocity men. RELIGION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Legislature never loses its head so completely as when discussing religious questions. It sometimes waxes as hot over such controversies as a town council over a water question or a new gaol. Mr. 'Whalley makes an absolutely appalling statement. When Mr. Newdeoate's motion was last on the way, the member for Peterborough challenged the Speaker 'e decision - each time it was put from the chair. "My voice did not reach him on the last call, owing to the exclamations 'which arose from the crowd of members in which I chanced to be, the words 'Kick him,' strangle him,' being prominent in the uproar." This state of things should be looked to. If the defender of Protestantism be only kicked, he may be incapaci tated for a time from pursuing his vigorous attack on the Roman Catholic hierarchy. But if he were strangled, the results would be incalculably disas- - trolls, for if Mr. Whalley were gone, Mr. Murphy, "the best man he could get," would disappear also. TURF REFORM. Mr. Thomas Hughes's inquiry whether Government are prepared to contemplate early legislation with regard to betting on horse-racing comes on to night. Now is not exactly the moment for a new Government bill ; but it is evident that the attack upon turf scandals must come soon. It is noticeable that there is a growing feeling in favour of one simple proviso as being all that is needed. Prohibit the publication of the betting lists of odds given and taken, and the thing is done. The multitude who wager on races are impelled solely by these published lists. They never see a horse, and know nothing of horse flesh. Keep the lists out of print, it is urged, and all but professionals will be excluded. Undoubtedly there is much truth in this. Pro hibiting the publication of lists might not do every thing, but it would, beyond cavil, do much. AN UNPARLIAMENTARY TRICK. Mr. Edward M. Collier, captain of the Tornado, denounces an imposition which he alleges he has been made the subject of. Mr. Otway, the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, produced, in the House of Commons, a document which he asserted was in the handwriting of the captain of the Tornado, and contained evidence which bore out nearly every one of the charges alleged against the vessel by the Spanish Government. He further stated that the document, which bore no date, was handed to him at the house by the gentleman who had written it. Captain Collier declares that he is not the writer of the lying document, which was probably foisted on Mr. Otway by some " unscrupulous hireling of the Spanish Government." QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS. Dividends on the British funds are now paid in quarterly instalments. The reform is in full operation, and though the Bank directors prophesied that few persons would avail themselves of it, the question why dividends on India stock should not be paid in like manner is now being pressed. At present if any one has a thousand pounds in Consols, and another thousand in the India Five per Cents., he finds that, although the payment of the dividends is in both cases intrusted to the same institution, the Bank of England, in the one case he is required to fetch his money twice a year, while in the other he has nothing to do but receive it at his own home every quarter. It is complained that he thus lose 3 the chief advan tage which the change was intended to confer. It was thought that personal attendance would be avoided by the quarterly warrant system. But holders of India stock who also hold in the English funds have to personally attend for part of their income, and they alight as well go for the whole amount. The initiative in the matter rests with the Duke of Argyle. ENGLISH PAUPERISM. The comparative statements of pauperism j ust issuad among the Parliamentary papers supply some significant facts. The comparative tables of February 1869 and 1870 show a considerable increase in this year's returns. In the first week of February 1870 that increase amounted to 33,323, in the third week to 64,339, and in the fourth to 74,664 ! It must, how ever, be remembered that the weather was excep tionally severe. England and Wales are divided into eleven districts, and of these only two—the eastern and Welsh districts—shew any decrease of pauperism. When we get to the third week of February the eastern districts have joined the majority, and the Welsh alone appear on the favour able side of the tables. Another statement shows us the quarterly return made on Lady Day, from which it appears that the last week of March was higher than the last week of the Christmas quar ter by 28,266 paupers. It appears that the paupers in 1870, as compared with those in 1869, have in creased 3.3 per cent. r and compared with 1868, 5 per cent. Looking at the metro polis alone, we find the difference still more striking, being 7.8 per cent. as compared with 1869, and 10.4 as compared with 1868. In the manufacturing districts the increase is only 2.1 per cent. on both years. The sum total of the 649 Unions of England and Wale s shew us the enormous aggregate of 1,047,662 paupers, exclusive of lunatic paupers in asylums. Surely it is more than time that our legislators boldly faced this monster evil, and sought for the required remedies, whether moral, physical, or commercial, instead of contenting themselves with moving for returns. PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS. A return has been published, shewing the fa vourable working of the Public Libraries Act, in towns where it has been put into operation. It shows that in England, Scotland, and Wales, seventy towns have adopted it, but that no returns have been received from Ireland. In Birmingham the rate is ld. in the pound, and the number of volumes in the library amount to 51,322. At Blackburn the rate is a halfpenny, and the estimated contents of the library are 5,000. In Manchester the . lending library, which was raised by public subscription, contains 90,289 volumes. It is to be hoped that ere long no town in the three kingdoms will be without so valuable an institution. THE LIBERATION SOCIETY. The Liberation Society have held their annual meeting. Among the speakers were Mr. Illingworth, Mr. Osborne Morgan, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Miall M.P.'s, The latter said the vocation of the society was to fight against those evil forms of religionism—not religion—which tended greatly to obstruct the pro gress of true religious principles in the land. The tendency of Liberationists, he said, was to over estimate _ present power; and against this ho AN ECCLESIASTICAL PROBLEM. The gift of the valuable living of Bradford to the Right Rev. Dr. Ryan, who recently re signed the Bishopric of Mauritius, suggests to the Daily News the inquiry whether, and to what extent, the parochial revenues of the Established Church are to be regarded as form. ing a retiring fund for superannuated officers of the Colonial Church. lf, says our contem porary, the only inconvenience of this state of things were that it enlarges the number of cA:ididates for the prizes of the Church, the nun, 'on. of those prizes remaining the same, it might be borne. But if it should appear, as some think it already does appear, that these bishops are regarded as possessing paramount claims to preferment or. account of their labours beyond seas, there is the great danger that injustice may be done to the clergy who have no romantic labours in picturesque lands to boast of, but have merely been reclaiming their own countrymen to civilisation. THE LONDON MEAT MARKET. A correspondent calls attention to the manner in which justice is defeated by the importation of diseased meat into the London market. He relates a case where a carcase totally unfit for human food was sold to a butcher for £5 10s., when a few days before the animal had been worth from £2O to £25. Ho says it is necessary to know what kind of inspection meat consigned. for sale to the London Meat Market, really undergoes, and why in structions sent with a view of bringing offenders to justice should be disregarded. The description of the carcase in question is almost too disgusting for publication. MEDICAL INSTRUCTION FOR WOMEN. Miss Garrett writes touching Dr. Acland's sugges tion that the difficulty about the education of women might be met by devising a separate examination. She says, if women who practice among women and children need an education not less thorough and not different from that which they would need if they also attended men, it is difficult to see in what way a separate examination would help them to get it. The special examination would in no way help to remove the chief difficulty women have to overcome, that of getting first rate teaching and an abundance of hospital practice. Till these difficulties, she suggests, can be removed in this country, it will be wiser for women to avail themselves of the great schools of Paris and Zurich, than to be tempted to accept a compromise which would put them distinctly out side the pale of the profession. INSECTS IN THE CROPS. Insects, it would seem, are likely to make great ravages in our crops. A farmer in South Lincoln shire said the other day in the market place that on the next day five and thirty acres of his wheat would be ploughed up. " I have already ploughed up five acres," answered the farmer he spoke to. "And I have done the same with two fields and sown them with barley," said a third. An insect pest is ravaging the wheat plant in Gloucestershire, Buckinghamshire, and the best parts of Lincolnshire. The principal enemy appears to be the ribbon-footed corn fly, a small whitish grub hatched from eggs deposited by the fly between the wheat blades soon after they appear above ground. The grub lives in the wheat stem, near the base, and either destroys the plant altogether, or so injures the shoot that the ear fails, or what grain there is comes up thin and shrivelled. Other destructive insects are at work among the wheat this year. LIGHT SPREADING THROUGH THE WORLD. Central America, not usually famous for its social enterprise, is boasting of a grand achievement. Its citizens are no longer content to remain in darkness while all the rest of the world is illuminated. The United States of Colombia have introduced gas, and Panama is the first city rejoicing over its possession. The 21st day of March was the me morable occasion when the lamps were first lighted, and a Panama paper describes the enthusiasm of the crowds who flocked to see the new light. These was a brilliant display, as a kind of illumination had been arranged, and perforated tubes lighted up the arches and pillars so usual in Spanish archi tecture. The President, after a performance of military music, lighted the ft jet, and Panama emerged from her anterior obscurity at once and for ever. A cruel north wind played havoc with some of the displays, but the lights for the most part held bravely on, and shewed the principal native and foreign residents of the city the way horne t after the grand banquet given by President Correoso in celebra tion of the event. THE NEW DOMINION. The news from Canuda is important. loin° Canadians are pushing on their acquisition of the vast tract known as the Hudson's Bay Territory so rapidly that a regular Governmont is being se up. A. bill has been introduced into the Ottawa Parliament which provides that the Legislature of Prince Rupert's Land shall consist of two Chambers, the first to be nominated, and the second to be elected by household suffrage, on the basis of one year's residence. The bill further stipulates that Prince Rupert's Land shall be represented in the Dominion Parliament by two senators and four representatives. An annual subsidy is to be paid by Canada, amount ing to 80 cents, per head of the population, with an additional sum of 30,000 dollars. Twelve hundred thousand acres will be reserved for the extinction of Indian titles. The province will in future be called Manetoda. Canada will retain all other portions of the North-west territory. The expedition to dis pose of the Red River insurgents is " getting ready." A quarter of the cost will be paid by England. SILK CULTIVATION IN CHINA. Great efforts are being made in China to encourage the cultilation of the silkworm, and the authorities of the Celestial' Empire, whom we Were wont to consider somewhat effete and unprogres sive, have come vigorously forward. An association is to be formed to purchase mulberry seedlings at Kiangsoo, and plant them in the empty spaces of the cities. When the trees are sufficiently large, silkworms' eggs will be purchased, and experienced persons sent out to give in structions on the breeding of the silkworm. The Chinkeabg Taotai has taken the matter up warmly, and issu e d an a dd ress t o th e people. He is a native of Woohing, the great silk producing .dis trict in th e empire, and has known a family of eight persons produce ten baskets of silk by a month's labour, and gain more than they could have done by 100 mow of land. Silk-growing, he avers, is tenfold more remunerative than ordinary agriculture, without either its incessant toil, anxiety, or expense. Trees having been planted three years will yield leaves for a generation, and a mow of land will plant fifty whose leaves will feed worms noees, ugh gees, to produce eight or nine catties of silk. As the agricultural interest is much depressed, the Taotai very wisely considers the people of the Kiangsoo district would do wisely to turn their attention to a lighter and more profitable THE SUEZ CANAL. Mr. G. Bate, one of the special guests of the Khedive at the opening of the Suez Canal, has read an interesting paper to the members of the Royal Colonial Institute. He introduced the subject by giving an historical account of the abandoned canals of the isthmus from a period of 600 years be fore Christ. He said, whether view ed politically, socially, or economically, the canal must be productive of vast beneficial re sults to the world at large, and especially to this country, as greatly facilitating our intercourse with the colonies. Two-thirds of the trade with India, China, and Australia, was in Bri tish hands ; and, looking at the great saving in time by the canal, it must be for our our interest that English shipowners and English merchants should not leaVe it for the foreigner to develop its resources. He thought by treaty, arrangement, and guarantees this important highway should be placed under the protectorate and management of the great powers, and not left to + 3, P control of a private com pany. OIL AND WATER.—No wonder this old gentleman from the country is puzzled. His friends have carelessly sent him to the Royal Academy Exhibition with a " Water- Colour " catalogue SOMETHING LIKE A BONNET.—We read in that delightful organ of feminine fashion, Le Follet—that the spring bonnets will have " fronts, crowns, and curtains." La Follet may well call bonnets with so many features of the bonnet about them " elegant novelties." " THE UNION WHEEL. "—With exceptionally bad taste the manager of the Sheffield Theatre has produced a drama called " The Union Wheel," which deals with " Broadhea,dism " (hiss 'ens, it should have been) and other unpleasant trade matters. The sentiments in favour of the ruffianism of the " Union " were received with delight by the gallery. We always thought the jurisdiction of the Lord Chamberlain extended to the provinces so far as the licensing of new plays was concerned. If so, where was Mr. Donne on this occasion ? Perhaps the piece ujas produced without his knowledge. If so, we beg to refer him to a recent number of the Sheffield Independent, in which this charming drama is fully described. (From Fun.) MEAN TlME. —Porter (loudly) : "Hi ! Bill ! What time does the parlymentry to town arrive 'ere-- gent wants to know ?" [Very pleasant for that mean fellow Bertie (who wanted to sneak up on the cheap) to have the query shouted out before all the party from the Castle.] SERVE HIM RIGHT.—This is pleasant reading :—A young man named Ralph Hudson has been summoned before the Sunderland magistrates for throwing orange peel on the footpath in Bishopwearmouth. The bench, considering the danger of this practice, inflicted a penalty of 55., and 6s. 6d. costs, which was paid. Surely our London magistrates will wake up at last, and follow this excellent example. Every fellow who so disposed of a peel should be disposed of without appeal, summarily. He should be punished not only for his own misdeeds but for the slips of others. (From Judy.) Why is a river the laziest thing in creation ?—Because it is never seen out of its bed. Why should a European never expect generous treat ment from a Japanese daimio ?—Because they are all two sworded (too sordid). FROM PARIS.—In consideration of his sweet temper and saccharine budget, Mr. Lowe might very appropriately be called l'eau sacra. SUCCESSFUL REVOLT IN AN INDIAN GAOL. The discontent for a time pent up among the inmates of the Central Gaol, Trichinopoly, appears, from what was enacted the other day, to have taken a most serious turn. About noon,, on Wednesday, at the hour of repose, every convict within the gaol was ordered to take rest, and, as usual, all went to the shady side to stretch their weary limbs. Some of the convicts, on various pretences, left the main body, screened themselves within the intricacies of the building, armed themselves with some iron palisades, about six feet long, that were lying loose about the gaol, and by a little manoeuvre came suddenly on to the sentry, seized him, and threatened to knock him down if he attempted to give the alarm. A native head constable at this time, is said to have gone up to the ringleader, Koorchy Taven, with the intention of arresting him, when a blow on the head soon silenced him for a time. About twenty of the con victs then made a rush to the guard-room, forcibly book away eight stands of arms, five swords, with a quantity of pouches containing ball ammunition, and scampered off over the plain in the direction of Puducottah, pursued by both the gaolers and a few constables, skirmishing as they kept running, and exchang ing shots. A constable luckily knocked over the ring leader by sending a ball through his head, killing him on the spot. The convicts, after this, fled as fast as their legs could carry them, and managed to reach a jungle and take up a position in a Hindoo pagoda, from whence they kept up a desultory fire on their pursuers ; but finding the police were becoming stronger in number, they left the pagoda, took to flight, and escaped in the dark. A party of the police scoured the jungle the remainder of the night, but did not succeed in coming on their trial. A reward of Rs. 25 for each prisoner has been offered by the superintendent of the goal, and every available means taken to bring back the runaway convicts. The ringleader is said to be the only one out of the twenty who was a life convict ; the othqrs were undergoing various periods of imprisonment. Some of the police and warders at the time in the gaol are also said to have been overpowered, dand afterwards roughly handled, before the convicts left, he gaol. We have no doubt before long we shall hear something, more of these runaways.—Madras Chronicle. ADDRESS OF GARIBALDI TO THE FRENCH ARMY. Garibaldi has issued an address to the French army. It is dated Caprera, April 22. The following extract em braces the greater portion of it :—" I shall certainly not belie myself in saying that I am the friend of the army of the Second Empire—of that Em pire which has made use of your bravery to enslave peoples—of that Empire which makes use of your imposing and valiant mass to protect a lying tyranny, which, without you, would be but an old tradition of our misfortunes. No matter Friend or enemy, I address myself to that chivalric army which, at the battle of Fon tenoy, bade the Englth fire the first, a trait characteristic of an army of brave men. Even ween Tno on the point of fighting against you as the exterminating instrument of a despot, I am bound to confess that I searched in vain in my heart for some thing which would resemble a hatred for the noble children of France, for that army which joyfully marched to the deliverance of my native land, and watered with the blood of its heroes the plains of Magenta and the hills of Solferino, whose echoes still resound with the victories of the French soldier. In stead of the soldiers of Mexico and Mentana, I should desire—let me not be misunderstood—to see in you only the worthy descendants of the volunteers of Fleurus and Jemmapea—the stns of the warriors of these fourteen armies which, astounding the world by miracles, placed the old European monarchies in the light of reason; for Marengo and Austerlitz, which crushed those monarchies, were only the corollary of Fleurus, Jemmapes, and Zurich. Then, although an invalid, saluting your superb flag of the Revolution, I would again march by your side and would ask to re-occupy on I your left the post which had the honour to hold in 1859, when you passed over the body of Austrian tyranny with the brave men of our army. —G. GARIBALDI." LIQUOR CONSUMPTION IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. —A writer in the Alliance News has the following : "The Edinburgh Review for the current quarter contains an article on ` Taxation,' in the course of which the con sumption of ardent spirits in France is set down at 870,246 hectolitres in 1864, 'or an average of about 2 litres per head of the whole French population. This allow ance in English imperial measure means a little more than half a gallon for each man, woman, and child —about half the average consumption per head per annum, of the British consumption.' But, if I mistake not, the Edinburgh reviewer has made the error of taking the quantity of alcohol taxed for the quantity of ardent spirits con sumed ; and, as the latter is twice that of the former, the French average is, at a stroke, made equal to the British. Mr. Delavan, in 1868, took great pains to learn the entire production of intoxi cating liquors in France, and this he found to amount to 1 ,516,746,000 gallons, an average of about forty gallons to each person —certainly a higher average than that of the United Kingdom. The cost of this enormous quantity of liquor to the French consumers, Mr. Delavan estimated to be three times as great as great as our annual expenditure on alcoholic liquors. The Edinburgh. writer places the revenue receipts in France from this source at twenty millions sterling, as compared with thirty millions sterling in our country; but this latter estimate is upwards of five millions boo high for the United Kingdom (including the charges on licences), the total for 1868 being about twenty-four millions and a quarter. We hear with the deepest regret, says the British Medical Journal, that the state of Sir James Simpson's health, although happily improving, will prevent him again resuming his Universities duties, and that he has be 9 advised to resign the Chair of Mid wifery in the University of Edinburgh, which he has filled with brilliant distinction for a long term of years. HATS.—One of the novelties of the season is a summer hat looking like very good straw, but in reality made of wood shavings, and sold for the fabu lously small sum of 2id. A highly superior article of this kind of manufacture may be had for 9d. How far are we in advance of the time when it was an opprobrium to wear a hat at 4s. 9d ! The hat 4t 91jd. looks very nearly as well as a Panama. It is of exquisite whiteness, very well shaped, light and com fortable on the head, and might be worn by a well-dressed, heavy swell at a horticultural show. Of course it is i fragile ; a heavy shower would reduce it to the consis tency of blotting paper, and it will not stand the slightest blow. But with careful handling in fine weather it will look well for several days, and as the fine days in the course of a summer during which a. man cares to wear a straw hat are often very few, it is a great question even with the owner of a Panama, and there are few possessors of a good Panama, whether a succession of four or five new smart, fresh-looking hats at 94d. is not a better investment than the Os. which it takes to get a Panama cleaned—a Panama which, however fine the quality, is sure to look terribly dirty before the end of tue season. —Daily News Parts Correspondent. b i t.
