The mission which "Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a tricans . , in the simplest and readiest of forms, that of tho 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 enteroise ; many American and Continental Journals i avu 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 CommerciA information, derived from the Lest and original sources. it is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the,' great Ocean Steamship Companies, and urauyeminent com mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded - to the li itor's application .to forward Panted Forms of Ques tions to their Correspondents and Agents alt Over. the glob, 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 anti utr4,91141A,F14101A11,1 be.. published on the Ist of December next, so as to be received and utilised by the is:: day of the New-year iu almost every part and city of the globe. It will embody an amount of.topo::raphical, statistical ' commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can" . not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition will be a Foittrox PORTS' DIIIECTORY, 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 Editors, Hotels and Proprietors; in short, no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility. " Our Ocean Highways" Monthly Supplement, incorpo rated with the "Anglo-American Times,' the leading organ of America in Europe, is essentially for the use of passengers by our great Ocean Steamship Companies. Each number of the Supplement and each bi-monthly number of "The Anglo- American Times " will contain, in addition to a Ports' Rail iray and Steamers Summary, a Skeleton Tour, taking the traveller from the steamer, on his arrival in port, to some one of the great European centres, guiding him on his way and ensuring his comfort at, the most eligible hotels. These Supplements accompany the passengers in the homeward bound 4eamers, provision having been made for the Agents of the respective Steamship Companies regularly receiving them for distribution at all foreign ports.

It is believed, on what are thought substantial grounds, that the semi-disfranchisement of the Dublin electors will soon cease. The metro politan city of Ireland; which returns two members, and which ought in the opinion of its inhabitants to return three, has had but one representative since Sir Arthur Guinness was unseated many months ago. It is now. expected that the writ for the vacant seat will be issued in a few days, and that the election will take place about a fort night hence. A contest is confidently looked for, and it is said that the Conservative candidate will hoist Repeal colours—a move which may be met by a similar procedu re on the p art of the Liberal. Norwich, too, is hoping for better days. It is believed that a writ for the seat left vacant by the expulsion of Sir H. Stracey, will be issued imme diately on the passing of the Norwich Voters' Disfranchisement Bill. Mr, J. 11. Tillett will offer himself for the vacancy as an ad vanced Liberal. It will be remembered that Mr. Tillett was an unsuccessful candidate in November 1808,' and that his opponent, Sir H. Stracey, was afterwards unseated on petition. THE TAX ON RAILWAYS. Referring to its statement last week that there was every probability of the Chancellor of the Exchequer withdrawing hip proposals for dealing with the tax on railways, the Railway News says it now understands that that course has finally been decided upon. The representatives of the North ern and Southern lines, it learns, have not been able to agree upon any plan among themselves which Mr. Lowe will accept, and it has, therefore, been intimated that nothing will be done in the matter in the present session. This decision, adds the same journal, is one upon which railway proprietors may be congratu lated, inasmuch as it leaves the whole question free to be dealt with next year, when it hopes to see a total repeal of the tax. LIGHTING PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Curiously apropos to the discussion in the House of Commons on Friday night, as to opening the British Museum and the National. Gallery in the evening, an interesting report was issued on Saturday morning. It is the report of the commission on the heating, lighting, and ventilation of the Kensington Museum, and from it we learn that in 1859 several distinguished men of science, arilong them Professors Faraday, Hoffmann, and Tyndal, reported that there is nothing innate in coal gas which renders its application to the illumination of picture wineries objectionable, but that its light is quite as harmless as that of the sun. The heat may be rendered inocuous by placing distance between the jets and the pictures. These opinions, so interesting at this - moment, when the danger of injury from g as is urged as one of the main reasons against open our great National Galleries at an hour when the working people can visit them, is further con firmed by letters from the professors named above, and other high scientific authorities. The commission who signed the report j uSt issued see no r eason to differ from the above conclusions, and are of opinion that pictures cannot suffer any appre ciable injury from the effects of lighting by gas. ➢IR. BRUCE INTERVIEWED BY LADIES. Mr. Bruce has received a very numerous deputation of ladies from associations formed to agitate for the repeal of the Contagious` Diseases Acts. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Jacob Bright, and various other members of Parliament were pre sent. The only lady speaker was Mrs. Butler, who informed Mr. Bruce that she had visited the garrison towns of Kent, and could assert that the grossest outrages were practised on W7OlllOll under the operation of these new laws. The men of Kent, she said, felt the insults, and had sent a mes sage to the Home. Secretary that they bad not. forgotten Wat Tyler. Mr. Bruce pointed out that there were two sides to the question, adding that the legislation objected to had originated in the recommendation of a meeting of a great medical society, and all knew that the medical profession was especially humane, enlightened, and liberal minded. He admitted that doubt existed as to the satisfactory working of the Acts, and said he thought there ought to be full inquiry by competent persons into not only , the medical, but the moral bearings of the question. He promised to do all he could to obtain a complete, an immediate, and a thorough investigation. INTERNATIONAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Earl Fortescue presided over a conference at the room of the Society of Arts on international mea sures, weights, and coins. That the question was well ventilated may be taken for granted from the fact that .. ainong the speakers were-Sir •Charles Adder ley, Professor Leone sir John Bowring, Mr. Baines, M.P., Proses- Airey, and others well known° in Ps ts, science, and literature. Thr first resBlution demanded the attention of the Legisla ture at the earliest practical tinie with a view to the establishment of some convenient uniform deci mal system throughout the United' Kingdom. Th was carried unanimously, as was another in favour of the substitution for troy ; , ;;; -- jght.of, notthei. avoirdu-• pois, butln'hilOgrammerWith its divisions and mul tiples. A motion to the effect that the introduction of a universal system of weights and measures would not be complete without a corresponding system of international coinage, the same being based on a gold standard of the tinenesii-vii nine -tenths, with one-tenth alloy, and identical mint regulations in all countries, was carried. THE COUNTY COURTS. The Judicature Commission are said to have in preparation a bill for the consolidation of all the statutes relating to county courts. These statutes, says the Solicitors' Journal, number nearly twenty, and the complications arising out of the numerous clauses, which repeal other clauses and parts of clauses, are sources of so much difficulty in practice that it is altogether unsafe for any but regular county court practitioners to advise on any matter of detail. "The rules of practice, the construction of which is a frequent cause of contention, are also to be remodelled. It is improbable, of course, that any consolidating bill can be passed this session." OVER-REGULATION. The Royal Commission appointed by Mr. Cardwell to inquire into the question of over-regulation prices is now hard at work. It seems scarcely necessary to observe that officers are in the habit of buying, and of subsequently selling, their commissions at prices above those fixed in the service scale. The point to be decided is whether there can be any official recognition of this custom—a matter of the utmost importance at a time when the modi fication of the purchase system is under considera tion. The decision, of course, has not yet been arrived at; but the United Service Gazette notices that there is a strong impression in well-informed circles that that decision will not be in favour of an official recognition of the custom. COLONEL BOXER. The Service papers are by no means agreed respect ing the right and wrong of Colonel Boxer's case. The Army and Navy Gazette and the Broad Arrow support him ; the United Service Gazette takes the side of Sir John Pakington. Says the Broad Arrow, " Colonel Boxer had done his country a great ser vice ; his penurious country refused to reward him, but left him to commerce to set himself right. He did so, and lo ! two rival cartridge makers, Eley and llaw, find it profitable to quarrel. The Control—oh, that Control !—sees the opportunity of utilising that quarrel, and the result is Colonel Boxer is sacrificed. It is a scandal to the country, and no credit to the disingenuousness of the War Office." The Army and Navy Gazette holds without shrinking, that Colonel Boxer stands excul pated by the official communication received on _4th ' January, 1868, from the - Weir-office, authorising him "to 'look for his - reward to royalties or other re muneration he might receive as a patentee from private manufacturers." The United Service Gazette is just as positive on the other hand. Colonel Boxer has been most righteously dismissed from his ap pointment for secretly receiving a royalty on goods supplied to his department for the use of the public. SERVICE NEWS. The United Service Gazette is not surprised to learn that the attaching of regimental depots of corps abroad to the head-quarters of different regi ments at home is working but very indifferently.— The appearance of the men of the Plymouth and. Portsmouth divisions, when inspected by the Com mander-in-Chief, has called forth expressions of satisfaction from the Lords of the Admiralty.—The Army and Navy Gazette understands that Captain Luard, C. 8., who, since the 20th of January, 1869, has held the appointment of senior officer in the Steam Reserve at Ply mouth, will, on the 25th inst., supersede Rear- Admiral the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., as superin tendent of Sheerness Dockyard.—The same paper says it is believed that on the occasion of the anni versary of the birthday of her Majesty the Queen, several civilians who have lately retired from the Admiralty will receive the honorary distinction whioh public rumour has already bestowed upon them.— The Broad Arrow hears that eight gentlemen in the Commander-in-Chief's Office, five in the Adjutant- General's Department, two in the Military Secretary's Department, and one in the Quartermaster-General's Department, have agreed to accept retirements under the terms offered by the Government to effect a reduction. A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR WANTED. The grievances of private individuals who rashly undertake to prosecute offenders have been forcibly stated by a hapless correspondent of the Times. His wife was robbed of her purse, but the thief was immediately apprehended, and she had to go to the police station and give her evidence. The next day she had to attend at the Guildhall, which was ten miles distant from her home, and, as a matter of course in a law court, to wait some hours. She gave her evidence the second time, but the prisoners were remanded, and she was compelled to come back again to sign her depositions and be bound over to prosecute. She was then served with a summons to attend at the Old Bailey, and prosecute, which she did, spending two agreeable days, from ten to four, among the select company assembled there. The thief was convicted, and received a heavy sen tence, but the prosecutrix did not go unpunished. She has to complain of five days wasted, and 100 miles travelled at great inconvenience and expense, only one-fifth of the expenses being reimbursed, and that only on condition of another day's loss of time. Tha writer has very little doubt that should his wife lose her purse again she will take to flight at the risk of being mistaken for the thief; while the reader will agree with him in thinking that if the public knew what a prosecution entailed, the proportion of cases discharged for want of a prosecutor would be very much larger than it is. THE BASUTOS AS BRITISH SUBJECTS. Further correspondence between the Foreign Office and the Cape has been published among the parliamentary papers. The subject in dispute on the completion of the Basuto Convention was its effect upon the French Protestant Missionary society, four of whose stations were situated in the territory ceded to the Orange Free State. The Boers and Basutos, like many other near neighbours have been engaged in perpetual bickering, and the feelings which the Boers entertaintowards the Basutos they extend to the French Missionaries. The friends of the mission are consequently apprehensive that the inissionaries . will be ejected on th e t rans f er o f t h e territory. The Paris Evangelical Missionary Society and the Aborigines Protection Society have accordingly been in motive correspondence with the Colonial office, hoping to induce Lord Granville to withhold his sanction from the convention. Our courteous and amiable Colonial Secretary has proved, however, in this case as in other colonial correspondence, that his velvet glove guides an iron pen, and he distinctly informs them that after receiving explanations, he has forwarded her Majesty's sanction to the colony. A. TRADES UNION ON EMIGRATION. The members of the Amalgamated Society of Car penters and Joiners have turned their attention to the question of emigration, with a view to carry out some practical plan of assisting those who desire to PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. lessen the surplus of labour at home. Mr. Apple garth, the secretary, in his report, suggests the loan of troopships, and a little timely aid from Govern ment to facilitate the scheme. By this means, with such assistance as philanthropists and practical men would cheerfully give, he says a fair proportion of unskilled as well as skilled workmen with their families might be removed from scenes of want and suffering to a life of useful industry. Surely he adds, this would be preferable to a continuance of the ruinous drain on the very flower of our skilled workmen, who by their energy and -ability have saved sufficient to enable them -to transfer to other lands that which constitutes the wealth of nations. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Returns just printed of `, 7 t3 quantities of sugar,coll,e, and other colonial and foreign produce imported into the United in ° lBB9, toi",;ethe , with the duties on, the prices of .th same, furnish a few items of intelligence of general interest, Were were imported of " all sorts " of unrefined sugars, 11,033,653 cwts. ; and of this quantity 10,717,931 cwts. were retained for actual consumption in the United Kingdom. In the same year the total,of refined . sugar and sugar candy import e d was 1,0680)4e cwt.,. of which nearly the whole was retained. for home consumption. The rate of duty varied from lls. 3d. to Bs. on the four classes into which unrefined sugar are divided, while on re fined sugar or s war candy it was 12s. The net revenue from duties on sugar of all sorts amounted to £5,388,652. The average prices varied from 7s. 7d. to £1 ls. 4d. per cwt., " exclusive of duty." During the same year there were 4,750,184 gallons of rum imported, of which all except 48 gallons was the produce of British possessions. There were also imported in 1869 483,570,528 lbs. of cotton, of which 335,428,912 lbs. were from the Bombay Presidency, the remainder being distributed amongst no less than 13 British West Indian settlements and British Guiana which sent-2,048,592 lbs., the two other Indian Presidencies, which sent, Bengal 50,259,328 lbs., and Madras 94,094,336 lbs., and auritius, Ceylon, and. the Straits Settlements. Of coffee there was .an aggregate of 123,820,547 lbs. of cocoa, 6,742,7921b5. SUPERSTITION IN THE UPPER CLASSES. A correspondent points out that the upper ten thousand are by no Means entirely exempt from the hind of superstition generally supposed to be confined to labourers and their belongings, in out-of-the-way country districts. In illustration of this we are told that in the Times of Thursday, April 21, there were sixty-two advertisements of marriages, and on the following day not one. The same strange illustration of upper class superstition, we are told, may be noticed, though perhaps not to quite the same extent, every week„ Certainly while so absurd au objection to being married on a Friday actuates the class whose adver-. tisements fill the " ladies column" of the Times, it is lar from fair to charge superstition exclusively against the Devonshire or Dorsetshire labourers, whose education is generally nil. . CARDINAL ANTONELLI AND M. DARU. The Univers publishes the reply of Cardinal Antonelli to the dispatch sent by M. Darn to Rome, on the 20th of February. The note of th e R oman Secretary of State is of great length, and. displays the skill which one might expect from this celebrated diplomatist. The Cardinal expresses his surprise that the publication of the Canons of the Syllabus by the Augsburg Gazette should have produced so profound an impression on the en c h Government as to induce it to change its opportune policy with, respect to the Council. He declares that these canons only consecrate the old maxims, and the fun damental principles of the Church which have been, approved by preceding general Councils. He uses many arguments to shew that none of the doc trines in the Syllabus attribute to the Roman Church direct control over civil powers, but that they ...refer : taa-totally different state of-things, and relate to the right of religious authority to judge of the morality and justice of all acts in their relation to natural and divine laws. In conclusion, the Cardinal expresses a hope that the French Government will be satisfied with this explanation, and will not persist in its request for previous information respecting the questions to be deliberated in the Council. THE PLOTTERS IN ENGLAND. Some facts bearing upon the doings of the French refugees in London have transpired. At a recent Repub lican gathering in the English capital, M. Flourens was asked whether he really had any connection with the con spiracy against the Emperor's life, alleged to have been discovered in Paris. M. Flourens replied, " Dear fellow citizens,—The situation just now is too serious. I can say nothing of w l iat is being done in Paris. I have not the right to do so, and you will understand the reserve which is incumbent upon me. With my finger on my lips lam compelled to be silent. But patience and courage, the triumph will be ours." The audience applauded, and the unlucky questioner--a Frenchman—was greeted with cries of `• Mouchard!" " A la Porte !" upon which hint he deemed it prudent to act, and retired from the hall.— Another fact rests on the authority of the Gaulois's Lon don correspondent. This writer states that on Wednes day the French Ambassador made a formal demand to the British Minister for Foreign Affairs that a criminal prosecution should be commenced against M. Gustave Flourens, but that the reply of the Minister was, " Your proofs first. Establish a prima facie case, and then we shall see."—At the public meeting which was held in London on Friday evening "in reference to the present state of affairs in France," Mr. Bradlaugh introduced MM. Flourens and Le Lubez. The chair was taken by M. Le Lubez, who stased that the meeting had been called at a short notice to speak the truth in reference to the alleged " plot." In proof of h ow d e l us i ve are th e statements sent forth, he might refer to the misrepresentation that he was president of the International Working. Men's Association, which he had been obliged to contra dict. He knew many members of that body, and was satisfied none would ever seek or desire to carry out their purpose by means of assassination. Mr. C. Bradlaugh having delivered an address, M. Flourens spoke in French at some length. He said the present masters of France were the real plotters. He knew of no other plot, and that had existed for twenty years, and he believed the right must ultimately triumph, and the longer it was kept down the more terrible must be the vengeance it would take upon the plotters. Some portion of the London press was calling for his expulsion from our shores, but he had no intention of abusing our hospitality by plotting assassina tion. The only force he wished to use was that of the brain, the tongue, and the pen, and these he should con tinue to direct against the trumpery despotism of France. Mr. Cooper, of the late Reform League, then proposed a resolution protesting against the tone adopted by the press of England in relation to the alleged conspiracy in Paris, and the right of asylum to political refugees. Mr, Austin Holyoake seconded it, and . then M. Tibaldi, who came in somewhat late, was introduced to the meeting as one of the Emperor's victims, having suffered thirteen years' imprisonment, five of which were spent in solitary confinement. Speaking in French he thanked his English brethren for the sympathy they had manifested towards himself, and protested against the bandit who now ru l e d France. He had fought iu the army of the Republic; of Italy, and thus given a guarantee of his sincerity in the cause of right and justice. His con stant cry should be " Vive la labert6 !' The resolution was carried by acclamation ; and, after giving cheers for those who voted against the Emperor and singing the " Marseillaise," the meeting separated. A collection was made at the doors to defray the expenses.
