A twelvemonths' round of recreation Which educates while it pleases— can be dear to none of us at the price of one guinoa ; and that this little sum will purchase all the enjoyment indicated in the Sydenham Programme for the season of 1870-71, is surely one of the facts tending to teach us new vast is the individual gain where thousands combine to establish and support a really popular institution."—Daily Tele graph, May 5, 1870.

HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE. DU BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids, and Infants' Food, THE REVALENTA ARABICA, saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspep sia), cough, asthma, consumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric derangements, htemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatu lency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleep lessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness, even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, and bronchitis. scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th. (Cure No. 48,413):—"R0me, July 21st, 1886.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabic% Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

The Attorney-General is reported to have said, in reply to a question as to the vacancy created by the death of Lord Justice Selwyn, that no prerogative was required to enable the Sovereign to abstain from exercising her prerogative, thus implying that the j Sovereign is the arbitrary udge of the occasions on which she may or may not exercise her prerogative. The Daily News says if the Attorney-General gave utterance to the words imputed to him, he has broached a doctrine which is at once irrational and unconstitutional. On this shewing it is within the right of the Crown to re frain indefinitely from filling up the most im portant and vital offices in Church and State. Our contemporary says it cannot believe that it was the Attorney-General's intention to put forth a doctrine so monstrous as that embodied in his words. It thinks that much discontent will be repressed if the Court of Appeal in Chancery be at once made complete by appointing a Lord Justice. The Characters of Hawkers. The new provision which Mr. Lowe has consented to make with reference to the granting of hawkers' licenses will be generally esteemed to be a change in the right direction. When ➢ir. Lowe first men tioned the matter in the Budget Lord Kin naird, it may be remembered, strongly protested against the relief of foot hawkers from the annual tax of two pounds a piece. To many who know the value of the Cheap Jack and the pedlar, in country districts Lord Kinnaird's disap proval was looked upon as somewhat cruel and un justifiable. At the same time there were many others who felt there could be no reason for denying to the honest tradesman a reasonable protection against the entrance into the trade of a set of fellows without character or principle, who could not bear the test of trustworthiness imposed in the forty-shilling licence. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has now designed a happy compromise, and removes all possible complaint of hardship by the proposal to grant, on a nominal payment, a certificate which will guarantee the respectability of the ♦endors. Under this new arrangement the honest hawker will have even a better security than before for his respectability, since the payment of the licence fee will be no longer the primary object sought, but the worthiness of the payer. Public Prosecutors. The amendments in the Public Prosecutors Bill, just published in its corrected form, refer chiefly to the salary attached to the office of prosecutor. The Act provides that on and after the Ist of June 1871 one of the principal Secretaries of State shall have it in his power to appoint any attorney or solicitor public prosecutor for any town or district, at an emolument of £2OO a year, with a further allowance in respect of an office and clerk or clerks. The prosecutor will, how ever, be allowed to accept costs in the same manner as ordinary prosecutors as part of his remu neration, but it shall be lawful for the Secretaries of State at any time to offer him an increased salary in lieu of any such monies. No solicitor will be entitled, under the Act, to be elected for a longer term than five years ; but his appointment may, at the end of that period, be renewed at the will of the Secretaries of State. The Laws of Horse Racing. According to the terms of Mr. Hughes' Bill now before parliament, no horse or mare under the age of two years will be in future allowed to take part in any matches or races for prizes whatever, and no horse or mare under four years shall be deemed capable of winning a Queen's plate. The penalties for an in fringement of either of these regulations are severe, as any person who shall receive, directly or in directly, any money as a deposit on any bet, or make any arrangement whatever, on the speculation of a race being allowed to take place, which would involve a breach of the above defined laws, will be compelled to pay a fine of not less than £3O with costs. It is also ordered that any official, who takes the entry of any horse or mare, under two years of age, for a race or match, shall be liable to a penalty of not less than £5O. The bill proposes that all money received in fines under the Act shall bo paid to the overseers of the parish in which the offence shall have been com mitted to be ultimately applied in aid of the rates. Cambridge Local Examinations' On distributing the prizes and certificates obtained at the last Cambridge Local Examination, the Right Hon. S. H. Walpole proposed to take stock of the examinations, which had been first held in 1858, and extended to girls in 1865. In the first year he said there were only eight centres, at which 370 boys presented themselves last year there were 32 centres and 2,077 candidates, 1,562 of whom were boys. He considered this increase highly gratifying and enJouraging. He doubted whether there was any characteristic of the present age more noble than the anxious desire to extend education. In former days large foundations had been made for the education of the higher classes, and more recently great attention had been paid to providing elementary education, aided by the State, for the poor, but the education of the middle classes had been much neglected. He alluded, with satisfaction, to the fact that attention had lately been turned in this direction, and to the liberal movements of the Universities of Cambridge and London in granting certificates to women and girls. Prison Labour. In a discussion on prison labour at the Social Science Rooms, the chairman (Sir Walter Crofto n ) observed, in alluding to the New Prisons' Act, that it was not compulsory on magistrates to enforce the use of the treadwheel in local gaols ; but he considered that remunerative labour in prisons should be preceded by work merely penal, such as `the crank. He remarked that the American self suppolting prisons had not found their JUNE 2, 1870. labour to be tefotmatbi hi its tendency._ This statement was Controverted by Mr. Sennaway, a Devonshire magistrate, just returned from a visit to the United States, and by Mr. Frede rick Hill. The latter said he had . been eighteen years inspector of prisons, and, in frequent communications from America, had received most satisfactory evidence of reformation. Mr. Tallock read an extract from the hist report of one of the largest American prisons, which mentioned that teaching the prisoners a trade had more influence than all other agencies united in reforming them. It prevented them from again committing crime. He argued that, as in England and Wales there were only 18,000 prisoners, on a daily average, to 20 million people, most of the former being sen tenced for repeated short terms, which precluded them being taught useful industrial habits, the utmost competition with free labour must be very small indeed. Human Cattle at Sea. An engineer who has gone out to Lima, in Peru, with the object of making for himself a home and a competent living abroad, has on the voyage disco vered the heartless and negligent conduct of ships' officers towards the human cattle who are so lavishly promised comfortable passages prior to their departure from England. The complaint of the gentleman, which appears in the Times, only refers to his luggage, which he, however, asserts contained every article that could have enabled him to start in life, and without which he would never have thought of entering Peru. ' There are, however, more grievances than the loss of one's baggage to tantalise people on shipboard, especially in long voyages ; and as the passengers never have it in their power to scuttle the ship, or put anyone in irons, it would be highly advantageous if a committee such as that recently nominated to inquire into the comfort of cows and sheep en voyage were chosen to investigate the case of human beings also. Plenty of witnesses who have been across Channel, as well as transatlantic voyageurs, would be certainto come forward and testify to their misfortunes. The engineer who went to Peru, sailed from Southampton as a cabin ticket holder, in the Royal mail steamship Atrato. When the vessel was in the Southampton Roads, he stood on deck in a pelting shower of rain to see a huge chest of his, within which were all his engineering in struments, his outfit and his books, kicked and buffeted from the tender to the Atrato, Never afterwards did he see it. On arrival at Kingston, Jamaica, he left the steamer to await the next vessel, and the officials on board there told him that the chest was too deep in the hold to remove ; but they promised to leave it secure at Colon, on the Isthmus. When the traveller reached Colon, he found that his property had not been left for him, and though letters after letters have been addressed to the agents of the company on the subject, he has never yet received even a satisfactory reply, let alone information of his lost luggage, The Stepney Murder. Amongst the many and ever increasing horrors which are now served up to us, the murder at Stepney is most noticeable. The deliberate shooting of a stepmother by. a lad of eighteen, of tolerably good character, is an unusual event, and a melancholy illustration of the evils frequently atten dant upon a second marriage in cases where a grown up family remain from the first. The experiment is always very dangerous; and in many cases, as in this, it proves very disastrous. Young Redhead was a volunteer, and shot his relative with one of the cartridges served out to him at drill. It' is not usual to allow cartridges to be removed from the ground, but Redhead must have concealed this one. Seldom, indeed, has a similar case happened. The misuse by volunteers of the weapons put into their hands is an extremely rare occurrence—so rare as to fully justify the confidence with which some 200,000 deadly arms have been distributed in various parts of the country. Metropolitan Railway Extension. The throwing-out of the Metropolitan District Railway Scheme, known as the Mansion House Extension, by the House of Lords Committee, has been received with general satisfaction. A. railway station near the Mansion House would in itself have been a great convenience, but to have purchased that convenience by obstructing the new thoroughfare with the hideous display of a new middle row of blank walls was too great an act of vandalism to be tolerated. The effect of this decision will be that the Metropolitan District Railway will either stop short at the present Black friars Station, or be continued to Queen-street. To stop short at Blackfriars would be suicidal, inasmuch as the Metropolitan competes with the Metropolitan District for traffic to the western suburbs, and it the former line is extended to Liverpool-street or Broad-street, to Aldgate-street and to Tower-hill, it will tap the city at so many points as to leave only a small share of the through traffic to go to Blackfriars-bridge, and thence westward by the embankment line. The Metropolitan District will therefore be compelled to go to Queen-street, and will probably form a junction there with the South-Eastern. Once at Queen-street, there will be but a short gap to Tower-hill, (to which point the Metropolitan will be extended) to complete the inner circle. As the two intermediate stations will be at King William-street and Mark-lane, the pro spect of a large traffic which such points offer will probably speedily lead to the completion of the whole line as originally laid out by the Parliamentary Com mittee. Telegraphy in the Antipodes. Our Australasian friends are determined not to be outstripped in the rapid transmission of intelligence by any older States. South Australia is indulging in a very important and comprehensive enterprise. By the construction of a line uniting the northern and southern parts of the Continent, and the com pletion of auxiliary works, the principal Australian cities will be brought into direct communication with London. The line which starts from Port Augusta on the north will be connected on the south at Port Darwin and with the submarine cable of the British Australian Telegraph Company. Such an enterprise does honour to the public spirit of colonial statesmen, and its indirect influence is likely to be nearly as important as the direct advan tages to be gained from it. Traversing the interior of Australia of which so little is known, much valuable information will be gained, and as, wherever the telegraph goes, other means of communication are sure to follow, we shall have an end of the great blank now separating North and South, and trade and commerce will profit by the change. It is not the first time that our colonists have exhibited a truly imperial spirit in matters of practical science, and it is to be hoped the Home Government will meet them half way in arranging the details of the matter. The Khedive is said to have abandoned all inten tion of visiting either Europe or even Constantinople this year. THE GREEK EX-MINISTER OF WAR.—A tele gram received in Vienna from Athens via Corfu an nounces that the conduct of M. Soutzos, ex-Minister of War, is to be the subject of a judicial inquiry. ALGERIA.—The France repeats a rumour of un favourable news from Algeria, which encourages the belief that a new expedition will be necessary, owing to the aggressive attitude assumed by the hostile tribes of the south. THE SUEZ CANAL.—A. special report of the Memorial Diplomatique says that M. de Lesseps arrived at Cairo on the 27th of May, and has had daily conferences with the Khedive in order to concert preliminary mea sures for the sale of the lands belonging to the Suez Com pany, which will take place as soon as the judicial reform is inaugurated. The chief foreign navigation companies have already entered into negotiations with the Suez Canal Company for the purchase of land at Port Said. The total of these purchases amounts to four millions of francs. AN ADDRESS TO THE EMPEROR.—A deputation from the department of Mevre has had an audience with the Emperor, and has presented him with an address from the communes of that department, signed by 19,000 persons. After congratulating the Emperor on the success of the Plebiscite, and declaring him to be the chosen of the nation, the address goes on to say that the more rapid the development of liberty, the greater right had France to demand from her Government the inauguration of respect for the national will, which is the first of prin ciples, and public security, which is the first of benefits. " Seven millions of voices, sire, ask this from you, and you hear them, for it has been said in your name. You penenify the Eight ; in me a need, Y9ll will by Fyne," PRICE I d STAMPED 2d.- P UZIS CORRESPONDENCE. TUESDAY EVENING 4. A prorogation of the Chamber in a week's time is spoken of, but I should hardly think the experiment will be made, for it would certainly make an unfavourable impression. As the majority has cried out so much about the loss of time, when really useful debates were in question, this untimely prorogation would be a strange contradiction. An observation of,M. 011ivier's in the Salle des Pas Perdus yesterday is worth repeating, as a straw to shew how the wind blows: He was going in when all the deputies were coming out, and was told he was too late. " Ah !" said the Minister quietly, " and there will not be another sitting till Thursday." " That is no great mis fortune," replied the first Parliamentary Minister of the Constitutional Empire, who is certainly a little weary of his "faithful Commons." It is said I do not know with what truth that M Cermoctu has seceived permission to return to France, and that he intends very shortly to avail himself of it. It has been suggested that in this case the journalists, who have certainly been less serviceable to the Opposition than M. Ceruuschi's hard cash, might be relieved of some of the penalties imposed on them. While on the subject of the Press I must tell you the sale of the Lilierte is denied in toto. The statement that it had been made over to M. Detrozat, the nephew of M. de Girardin, is contradicted. The redoubtable Emile is still to retain the direction of affairs—a fact which will. apparently be less advantageous to M. 011ivier than it would have been some weeks ago. The French navy, if we are to accept the dictum of Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, who ought certainly to know something of the matter, was never in a better con dition. The Minister of Marine, moreover, affirms that the fleet is ready to put to sea at the shortest notice. Among the many complimentary and congratulatory addresses which the Emperor has lately received was one of some interest to Englishmen. The English and Ame rican inhabitants of Tours have presented an address to his Majesty congratulating him on his escape from the complot. - Strikes appear to be gaining ground in France. Iron mongers, metal-workers, weavers, shoemakers, and miners have all been displaying their powers of coercion in this line of late. The problemssonnected with the relations between labour and capital are just beginning to assume a troublesome prominence in this country. I am sorry to find that, in spite of our deserved repute for good manners, we Parisians have still some Goths among us ; and a notice pasted in the public reading-room of the Bibliotheque Imperiale calls attentionto the i number of books lost, injured, or removed from the library. The smallpox still continues its ravages, and M. Le Prince de la Tour d' Auvergne is the last person of note who has been attacked by it. This eminent diplomatist is intended to replace. the Duke of Grammont as Ambas sador at Vienna. In awaiting his recovery the French Embassy at Vienna is conducted by Count Cazaut, as Chargé d'Affaires. Prince Napoleon, who was not able to attend the in auguration of the Suez Canal, had intended to visit Egypt, where M. Lesseps is at present, but he has been prevented by the illness of his eldest son, who is suffering from an attack of smallpox. It is thought that the Ministry will use every exertion to'get through the Parliamentary work, in order that the Chamber may be closed by the middle of the month of July. The other day M. Jules Ferry called the attention of the Government to the prevalence of small pox in Paris, and said that re-vaccination ought to be resorted to. M. Chevandier de Valdrome, the Minister of the Interior, said that the public establishments were all in a healthy condition, and that his department hid afforded every facility to re-vaccination. The disease had not broken out in the prison of St Pelagie as had been reported. With regard to re-vaccination he had so much faith in it that he had desired all the members of his department to resort to the experiment, and he himself had set them the example. The visit of the King of Bavaria to Berlin, which the Prussian press has talked so much about, will not take place after all; but, on the other hand, King Louis in tends to meet the Emperor of Austria by the Lake of Stahrenberg, where the Empress Elizabeth will pass some weeks with her illustrious parents. There seems a fatality attending out-door life in Paris just now. The other evening M. Pelletier was driving in his carriage in the Champs Elysees, when he came in con tact with another carriage with such violence that he was thrown out. His head was so seriously injured that he has lost all consciousness. It was only by accident that a gentleman recognised him at the chemist's, where he was taken, and he was then carried home. M. Pelletier is the president of the Chamber, a la Cour des Comptes. A great scandal has been caused in the religious world by the civil interment of the Abbe Laroque of the diocese d'Eoreux. During the time of his ministry there was no suspicion as to his heterodoxy, but after his death one of his nephews, who attended his last moments, ordered the funeral to take place as described. A brother to the Abbe was also present at the time, but he throws the responsibility of the affair upon the nephew. The public is divided between two opinions —either of which is painful to consider. The Abbe Laroque must have been a deceiver all his life, or else his family must have taken upon themselves to carry out their own notions at the expense of his character. In Tuesday's sitting of the Cortes Senor Garrido proposed the immediate election of a King, which failing in three successive divisions, Le then moved that the Federal Republic should be accepted as the definite form of Government. It is said tkat two of the young gentlemen so unhappily' involved as leaders in the iconoclast riots at Christ Church, Oxford, are the sons of partners in two of the wealthiest London breweries, one of whom is a dis tinguished patron of art. Mr. Thomas Heslop, farmer, of Battlebridge, arose early on Monday morning, and went out with his gun for the purpose of shooting small birds. Some time after wards he was found lying dead, having been shot, and his gun, which was discharged, lay by him. The screw troopship Tamar sailed from Ports mouth yesterday for Quebec with two companies of Royal Engineers and discharged dockyard workmen (principally from Woolwich and Chatham), with their families, as emigrants to Canada. The Record says the Ritual Commissioners have adjourned till the 27th of June, and it is therefore evident that there is to be no report this session. It is, however, understood that certain resolutions are in a fair way of being carried as a substitute for a report. The Record is informed that the announcement of Sir Robert Phillimore's intention to strike the Bennett case off his list of causes in the Court of Arches, was on the next day followed by a movement on the part of the proctors for the promoter, which will be sufficient to avert the execution of this threat. - - - Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, French Minister of Marine, has just given ample details to the Committee upon the Budget as to the state of the French Navy. He stated that it was never in a better condition than at present, nor more ready to put to sea at the shortest notice. The Hon. and Rev. Francis Nathaniel Clements Hon. Canon of Durham and Vicar of Norton, near Stock ton on Tees, has died at the vicarage of congestion of the lungs, after a few days illness. The vacant living is in the gift of the Bishop of Chester, and is worth £378 per annum, with residence. The American papers delivered in London yesterday mostly contain critical notes of Mr. Disraeli's new novel. The New York Times considers " Lothair " a surprisingly able production. It combines in a striking degree the lightness, the elasticity, and the imaginative freshness of youth with the tact and the wisdom of age. To carry the former attributes into advanced life is said to be one of the characteristics of genius. Mr. Disraeli's imagination is so naturally vivid, and is still so unworn by time, that he is able to paint con amore with all the vigour and picturesqueness of lusty manhood scenes the attractive ness of which, for men of his years, ha 3 usually vanished for ever." BURNING OF A SHIP AND Loss OF SIX LIVES. — Intelligence has reached Liverpool of the total destruc tion by fire of the ship Sunbeam, Captain Chadwick, on the 31st of March last, at Valparaiso, and the loss of six of the crew. The fire is reported to have been caused by the ignition of a case of var nish in the hold and the flames communicating with a quantity of saltpetre, which formed a portion of the cargo, the vessel was soon wrapped in flames from stem to stern. Immediately after wards a fearful explosion took place ; the Sunbeam lurched suddenly over, and went down, taking with her six of the sailors The whole affair was so sudden, that there was no time to launch a boat, and the remainder of the crew precipitated themselves into the sea, clinging as well as they could to a studding sailboom, a plank, and a hencoop. Fortu nately, there were three whalers in sight at the time of the explosion, and one of them bore down to the scene of the disaster, and succeeded in rescuing the survivors, who consisted of Captain Chadwick, his son, the mate, and JAW f3olllell. ow ready, in 2 vols., post Bvo., with Illustrations, 245., ARAMBLE INTO BRITTANY.
