Lord Eustace Cecil, M.P. Geo. Wodehouse Carrie, Esq. G. M. W. Sandford, Esq. Philip Rose, Esq. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government Trust, which was formed in May, 1868, has called for an extension of this mode of investment. . . - - 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 extra 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 elriber 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 accom 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, 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 attachekbearing 5 per cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of Messrs. Glyc, Mills, Currie, and ('o. 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. In 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 be retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. The advantages of the investment may be summed up as follows : 1. interest at £6s. be. per cent, on the :amount sub scribed. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. 3. A reversion, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion. • Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

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 the same, and creating thereon (a site unequalled in London for the purposes of the Company) a THEATRE, WINTER GARDEN, RESTAURANT, and MERCANTILE CLUB. THE THEATRE will be one of the most Elpacious 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. The 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 WINTER GARDEN will•surround the auditorium, stocked with the choicest plants, adorned with statuary 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 Skoog, 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 out 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. TILE RESOURCES OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT being so manifold, its undeniable position, and a FREEHOLD in the centre of lion 'on, the directors confidently 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 pqr cent. for the last fiVO years. • A contract has been entered into with Mr. JOHN KIRK, of Woolwich, for the erection and completion of tho whole of the buildings. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the company, or the bankers and solicitors. SAMARITAN FREE HOSPITAL for WOMEN and CHILIAIsT, — tower Seymour-street, -Portman-square. The only free Hospital for diseases of women. Subs-criptions and donations are much needed, and will be received by Messrs. Hat chard, Piccadilly; Sir Samuel Scott, Bart.; Messrs. Barclay, Coutts, Glyn, Ransom; and by the Secretary. PAINLESS and PR A.CTICA L DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appointment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, MOORGA.TE-STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful, loose teeth and to der gums protected. Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring ease and comfort unsurpassed -detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied - and youthful appearance restored—mastication and arti culation guaranteed. The "Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, sto 30 guinaas. Consultation free.—Only addresses, a 2 Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic; and 23, Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office. BRISTOL. For the present the working-man lion of Bristol is lying down witli the middle-class lamb. After much fierce antagonism, all three Liberal candidates are working together in perfect harmony, with the view of bringing about the test ballot which is to decide their respective claims. They have addressed numerous bodies of electors, but, in all cases, it has been agreed that no attempt should be made to gain the vote of any gathering until the test ballot comes off. This will be the first practical experiment of the kind ever tried ; for the ballot at Manchester between Mr. Milner Gibson and Mr. Ernest Jones was only in view of the probable disqualification of Mr. Birley —which never happened. All these three Bristol candidates have declared in favour of legalising mar riage with a deceased wife's sister. TEE " NATIONAL " PRESS IN JEOPARDY. Most people expected a violent explosion of rage from the "National" Irish papers at the announce ment of the Peace Preservation Bill, which, amongst other provisions, furnishes punishment for seditious articles. The journals in question have proved fully equal to the occasion. One or two extracts will suffice. The Nation is anxious to be very explicit in dealing with this " brutal threat : "—" We tell the Ministry that we defy it. The world must see that we scorn and spit upon a tyranny so infamous if it really be attempted. The Irishman is of opinion that the Hibernian members have betrayed their country. The Flag of Ireland is comparatively mild, observing that the English Government does not govern in accordance with the popular will, or there would be no neces sity for coercion ; a sentiment which is remarkably true, for if the English Government ruled in accord ance with the popular will as represented by the Flag of Ireland, it would abandon Ireland to the beneficent rule of that journal and its brethren. THE CONSCIENCE CLAUSE. The John Bull states that the Education Com mittee of the Convocation of Canterbury has, on the motion of the Archdeacon of Taunton, affirmed, in a manner satisfactory to him, that, while Churchmen may lawfully avail themselves of a Conscience Clause should they think fit, if imposed on them by the State, it is not a solution of the question, which should emanate from the Church. DUAL GOVERNMENT OF THE ARMY. The Army and Navy Gazette calls the expression 44 dual government " an "invention of the enemy." It is the cover of the attack on the power of the Crown, and on the office of Commander-in-Chief. The Secretary of State has, time after time, asserted his complete supremacy over the Horse Guards ; the Horse Guards has repeatedly admitted the subordination of the Commander-in-Chief to the Secretary of State ; but, for all that, there is a pre text that a " dual government" exists. We are also told that the Duke of Cambridge was possessed of a devotion to General Forster, which inclined him to take to himself a good. deal of "business," which the outer world believes to have been managed by his secretary. THE ARMY PURCHASE SYSTEM. The United Service Gazette trusts that Mr. Jardwell may not retire from- office. He is the very man who favours the abolition of the purchase sys tem in the army, and has proved himself the most courageous enemy of departmental abuses of the worst kind. He has already taken the first steps towards the abolition of a system much to be depre cated; and, strange to say, at the same time reports begin to be circulated about his removal to the Board of Trade. He is too abl e a man to be rightly shelved, and if he is shelved the public may be sure that there is some back-stairs intrigue at work in the matter. The House of Commons has now thrown in its way a favourable opportunity of settling a long-vexed question. Appeals have been e the compensation end made in the Press and in Parliament to such an extent that a co ncession was at last made of a promised Roy al Commission to in q ui re into the Over-Regulation s y stem. Thi s was an abuse i at t it h h a e nd hitherto when nudwiae shted,al a ndl see thtehreatfor the • gwen to officers, when this system is done away with, will be the total abolition of th e purchase system. GOVERNMENT TAX ON RAILWAYS. The question of the modification of the passenger traffic on railways is raised by the Railway News. It will be known when Mr. Lowe produces his budget whether the taxes on locomotion have received his attention There is a report that instead of the present rate of duty levied upon passenger traffic, Mr. Lowe would be willing to substitute 1 per cent. on the entire gross receipts of the rail ways from goods, minerals, and passengers. The Railway IVews decidedly thinks that the best plan would be to abolish the duty altogether. Such a proposal as the above is an unwarrantable inter ference with trade. Many articles, such as coal, are carried at a rate that would leave scarcely any margin of profit to the company if 1 per cent. on their conveyance was exacted. And there is an injus tice in taxing the gross receipts, as the shareholders already pay an income tax on the net receipts of railway companies. It is not right to tax first the industry, and then the result. Such a policy is in consistent with the spirit of free trade, and' not in accordance with the just and practical principles of a true commercial policy. THE IRISH CHURCH CONVENTION. The chief controversy which the Church Wnven don has called forth has naturally been the mode of appointment to bishoprics and benefices. The status of the Episcopacy when its members aro once appointed is not a matter of so much importance. The choice of the fittest clergyman for a - vacant parish is to be made. as far as has been decided. on THE PROPOSED TUNNEL ,TO FRANCE. Mr. J. F. Bateman, F.R.S., has been explaining the proposed subway to France, which he and Mr. J. J. Revv, C.E., have recently brought before the public. Air. Bateman said his scheme was to construct a covered way from England to F r a nce by means o f a tube of cast iron 13 feet in diameter, and eight inches thick, to be laid below the sea from Dover to Cape Grisnez, a distance of 20 or 21 miles. The tube would be composed of rings 10 feet in length, formed of six different segments bolted together. It would be built up within the inside of a great horizontal chamber about 80 feet in length, which, for conve nience, they had called a bell. This would be 18 feet in diameter, and eight inches thick, closed at one end and open at the other. The total weight of the bell, ho said, was such as to allow its nearly floating. To move it forward would require a pressure of about 1.500 tons, but the machinery was capable of exerting a pressure of 4,000 tons. This would be sufficient to force aside any accumu lation.of sand, or to cut o any soft rock with w hi c h it * g ilt off come in contact. To maintain the tube in 'it dace Tres would be in the ground as the work progressed. Mr. Bateman proved that it would be impossible to use locomotives, and said the only plan was to work the traffic by pneumatic pressure. He , estimated that the tube could be constructed in five years, and that it would cost, allowing one million for contingencies, eight millions of money. THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT. Mrs. G. Butler, secretary of the Ladies' National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Act ? has addressed a meeting . at Liverpool on the subject. She said the object of this legis lation might be briefly stated to be to separate vice: from the bodily penalties which God and nature had attached to it. Such a law was the placing over a brothel the words " You may enter here and sin with safety." By this Act she said a woman was required to prove before a magistrate that she was chaste. Was there ever such a mon strous law in existence ? The chastest woman could not prove her own chastity. This law, she contended, struck at the root of all confidence in females by introducing the spy system amongst them. It encouraged women to denounce women from hatred, jealousy, or revenge; and already it had - had its effect in that way. Women had got rid oft heir step-daughters by denounc ing them to the police, and. it placed in the hands of procuresses a most dangerous weapon by which to make poor girls what they wished them to be. Mrs. Butler said she had been asked why in a previous address she alluded to the rebel Wat Tyler. The allusion, she said, did not originate with her. Nevertheless, she would say that whatever was righteous and noble in Wat Tyler's anger she desired to see aroused in the men of England now. For. what, she asked was the outrage which called forth Tyler's wrath, compared with the outrage to which thou sands of Englishwomen had been subjected. RACING AUTHORITIES. The Field draws attention to the recent letter of Admiral thous in the Times, in reply to Sir Joseph Hawley's resolutions, and says that, if not curiously unintelligible, it is characteristically illogical. A few years since, just after Gladiateur won the Derby, the Admiral saw that the French had an enormous advantage over our stall-fed stock, but that as long as the yearlings fetched fancy prices there would be no reformation by improve ment in breeding. In reference to this observation the Field says :—" We have not the slightest fear as to the use of first-class_stallions being discontinued although of course the subscription will fall. Death and default, says the Admiral, have lowered the market, as no doubt they have ; but then what could follow but default from the reckless conduct of a few foolish young men who brought about this artificial state of things ? We are coming again to a similar state, from which we augur anything but the decline of racehorses. Why 'the best article,' otherwise the highest-priced yearling—take the range of the last few years—has seldom been worth as many shillings as some infatuated youths gave guineas for him. Admiral bus imagines or rakes out a number of cases which are not worth much; while so far as the personality of his argument goes, we must again insist that as the most successful sportsman of his time, Sir Joseph Hawley is the most fitting man to inaugurate reform." MISPLACED SYMPATHY. It certainly was difficult to tell where Lord Nlalmesbury's steward,Mr.Elliott,had got to. There did not appear even as much chance of his again turning op as there was in the case of the great Spoke. We were told that fora long time Mr. Elliott had been depressed; that one day he left a carriage for the purpose, as he told the coachman, of seeing a bit of land and return tng in a quarter of an hour ; that he never returned; that, on search being made, he was traced to the bank of the adjoining river ; and that no further tidings could be obtained of the " unfortunate gentleman " as he was sorrowfully 2, ailed. It was very sad, but there could be no doubt the missing man had committed suicide. Strange to say the river was dragged again and again with no cesult, and the public, whilst still believing that he had altogether vanished from terrestial scenes, were A a loss to account for the non-appearance the body in the river. It now seems that no tragic death has closed the career .)f the steward. He has absconded. Lord ffalmesbury says some of his tradesmen's bills have been left unpaid for two years. He entrusted Mr. Elliott with the payment of his bills, and the conse pence is that the " depression" exhibited by the man whom we have lamented in a somewhat untimely manner, was brought on simultaneously with a corresponding depression in Lord Malnics . bury's purse. PERJURY AND DIVORCE. The public long ago had more than enough of the Godrich divorce case ; but the parties in that exem plary suit have determined that it will bear a little more publication. The cross petitions by husband and wife, both claiming divorce on the ground of adul tery, were dismissed on evidence that both had been guilty. Mr. Godrich then indicted two of the witnesses against him for perjury, and they were convicted. Upon this Mrs. Godrich indicted one of the witnesses against herself for perjury, and that person also was convicted. It is now stated that Mr. Godrich is about to indict Mrs. Godrich for perjury. No doubt the process will be ex hausted sometime ; and if Mrs. Godrich indict her husband, it is not easy to see how the instructive and amusing sport can be carried on any longer. But the Lew Times thinks that the proceedings have already been amply sufficient to prove the necessity for an amendment of the law relating to perjury now the favourite resource of defeated suitors. This, it thinks, might be effected by requiring the sanction of a judge before any prosecution for perjury can be commenced, and enabling the defendant to tender himself as a witness, if he desires to do so. The Law Times seems to be of opinion that all the convictions touching this Godrich case were brought about through the inability of the defendants to speak for themselves. INDUSDiIAL REGIMENTS. The Paul Pioneer gives a description of the organ isation of industry in tee " Mississippi Bottoms " the rich lowlands on the banks of the great river which aro subject to its overflow. Labour, says the journal in question has been systemised so as to realise its highest possible benefits to all parties. The planters furnish the land and the teams, the negroes do the work, and the crop is equally divided, the negrocs reim bursing the planter from their share for clothing and provisions advanced by him, and often, after prc viding for immediate necessities, buying of him a horse, mule, cow, hogs, &c., with tae balance. The negroes organise them s:Aves into sauads of three or four families, with THE ONEIDA AND BOMBAY COLLISION. The .11'ew York Times administers a salutary re buke to its contemporaries for their violent display of national spirit against the commander of the Bombay. The English captain has been tried and condemned in New York before his version of the story has been heard. The Times protests against such invidious haste. Sailors in general are not in the habit, it says, of running down each other's ships and leaving the crews to sink; and British captains have ere now re ceived chronometers or addresses from the United States Congress and other sources, for going out of their way to assist distressed American sailors." THE AMERICAN FENIANS. The Fenians in New York are constantly deliberat ing baleful projects of mischief to England ; but they appear to lack the unity and decision which leads to great deeds. The " Senate " recently met, and General O'Neill presented a report containing a favourable statement as to the number of men and amount of the material at the disposal of the organisation, and in earnest terms urged upon the members the advisa bility of an wily invasion of Canada. The majority, however, were strongly opposed to imme diate action in the matter, being of opinion that it would be rash in the extreme to commence hostili ties before all branches of the brotherhood were united. No decision was arrived at, but the Presi dent of the Senate was shot by the ex-Secretary immediately after the meeting, an incident which does not promise well for Fen:an interests. A GRA.SPING SOLICITOR.—The case of Mr. William Berry, a solicitor, has been brought before the Master of the Rolls, and alled forth some severe comments from Lord Romilly. Mr. Berry was retained by a man and his wife and their trustee, all of whom were in humble life, to recover for them certain moneys under the marriage settlement of the two former. Out of a sum of £7OO thus recovered, Mr. Barry retained no less than £4BO for costs. Not content with this, he induced the trustee to let him have the remainder of the fund, under pretence of providing for extra costs of the suit, when the costs had actually been taxed as between solicitor and client. An order having been obtained against him to deliver up deeds and documents, he moved to have it discharged on account of a technical irregularity, of which the Master of the Rolls said he must have been cognisant. The order would be discharged, and a freih order issued again, directing Mr. Berry to deliver up the papers ; all costs to be paid by Mr. Berry, who must also furnish a cost account of his dealings along with his bill of costs. A MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.—In the Divorce-court a cause of Cooke v. Cooke has been decided. It was a hus band's petition for a restitution of conjugal rights. The wife answered, and alleged cruelty. It seemed that Mrs. Cooke, who is rather an elderly lady, fell in love with the petitioner, who was a private in the Horse Guards. They were married, and soon after she bought him out of the regiment, and thc.y lived together. Mrs. Cooke had £2OO a year or thez-e -abouts, and she was constantly applied to by Cooke for some of it. There were serious quarrels, and on one occasion Mrs. Cooke's leg was so injured that she had to go to the hospital; and at other periods she was compelled to bring her husband before a magistrate. The cruelty was clearly proved, and the judge decreed a judicial separation with costs. As Mr. Cooke did not proceed with his answer, alleging that his wife provoked him to cruelty, it was agreed that she should make him a quarterly allowance. HEAVY PUNISHMENT OF AN INDECENT PRINTSELLER,;ft The most severe sentence ever passed in a similar case. has been recorded at the Middlesex Sessions. The Society for the Suppression of Vice prosecuted Henry Evans on a charge of selling and uttering obscene prints and papers. in the shape of photographic slides. A warrant having been obtained for a search of the prisoner's premises, a very large quantity of obscene photographs was seized. and it was evident that he had been doing a large business in this traffic. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the judge remarked that he should not waste many observations upon a person like the prisoner at the bar, for he knew that these infamous articles were sent by post and in some cases they ,were thrown over the walls of ladies' boarding-schools, and there was no limit to the evil that might be caused by them. The sentence was that hal:P:3 imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years, that he pay a fine of £5O to the Queen, and he be further impri oned until the fine was paid. "Fnou-FRou."—An ex-parte motion has been made in Vice-Chancellor James's Court to allow a notice to be served on the manager of the Brighton Theatre, Mr. Horace Wigan, Mr. Chart, manager and lessee of the% Theatre Royal, Brighton, and Mdlle. Beatrice Binds, to re strain them from performing in the piece called " Fron-f rou.' k adapted from the French of MM. Meilhac and Haldvy in, the translation of whose works, Mr. 'Wood, the plaintiff, claims an interest. The motion was re f use d the Vice. Chancellor considering that it w ou ld b e qu it e time enough, if it were brought on on Thursday next. AN EDITOR FINED FOR LlBEL.—Actions for libel some; times present curious questions for the decision of jurors. A jury at the Staffordshire Assizes have been virtually. asked to say whether a lieutenant of the Burslem Vo teer Corps, who had found it necessary to put an end to a dangerous dog had destroyed it after a fashion which was worthy of a " brave" man. The editor of a local news , paper, the Staffordshire Sentinel, indirectly said he had not, but that he had put it to death in a wantonly cruel and inhumane manner, whereupon the lieutenant brought t his action for libel,. solely to clear his character. apLe obtained a verdict, with £2.0. A Parlitimentary report is published of the in quiry as to the truth or otherwise of certain allwiations contained in a memorial from the vicar and other inhabi tants of Barking, calling attention to the pollution of the river Thames. Mr. Anderson's Bill to Abolish Wages Arrestraent in Scotland is published. The Lancet says that small-pox is still very pre• valent in Paris, no less than 80 deaths having taken place last week from this affection. " Re-vaccination from the eow itself is said to be all the rage in that city ; it is, however, to be regretted that compulsory vaccination has not yet been established by the Cvernment, as we find, from official sources, that 270 persons did from this disease in the Paris hospitals during the year 1869." The Rock contains a letter of the Archbishop - of York, published by permbsion. It is addressed to G. H. Davis, LL.D., and chews that the Archbishop is not en tirely opposed to a revision of the Scriptures. His Grace is certainly opposed to any authoritative revision at the present time, but at the same time he approves of efforts being made with a view to the same end by private Mi. yiduals and societies. A novel and extraordinary system of " threatening notice" is reported from the county of Meath. It is the digging of graves in grass lands as a warning to the owners. It appears that a few nights ago some persons dug a graTe of ordinary size at the cross-roads of Ashfield, near Long wood or, in other words, on the angle, which was com posed of green sod, where both roads meet. A letter was deposited at the bottom, which was handed up to the authorities, and the contents of which have not yet been made public. It will be remembered that shortly after Um accession of the present Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman Begley) to the dignified office of Chief Magistrate of the City, a congratulatory address was presented to him , by the natives of Devonshire resident in London. It will arranged that the address and the names of the sub scribers should be inscribed in a handsome illuminated book, and that volume being now ready it will be handed to his lordship on Wednesday next, on which evening the subscribers will be entertained by his lordship to dinner at the Mansion House. The mountain of Flaskagh, near Dunmore, county Galway, has been the scene of a wanton outrage, the burning of a large quantity of turf belonging to several poor farmers in the neighbourhood. The fire was observed at a distance of several miles by a police patrol, who has• tened to the spot and aroused the people of the locality, in order to have their assistance in endeavouring to save it But all their efforts proved unavailing in consoq_uence of the wind being very high at the time, which caused the fire to spread ropily. There can be no doubt of this fire hav ing l.),en the act of an incendiary, as the turf was made up in several stacks at considerable distances from each other. The wife of the convict Ilossa has lectured at Tipperary, and received an enthusiastic ovation. The ' hotel where she was staying, and some other houses in the town, were searched by the police for arms, but with• out success.
