THE CHILD'S BEST GIFT. THE TOY ALPHABET, beautifully printed on tinted Cards in Case, complete; forming a most amusing and instructive present for Children. The elegant style in which the illustrations to each letter are got up—each with a p!easing and simple rhyme—and the strikingly apparent usefulness and novelty of the plan, which is so elegantly carried out, have pro duced the most unqualified encomiums from some of the most influential organs of public opinion, a few of which are appended. Paren;s and others desirous of pleasing their children, and at the same time helping them to take the first step to learning, cannot do better than purchase a Set of these Alpha bets, which are produced in Six varieties, at One Shilling per Set. " THE TOY ALPHABET supplies an easy and entertaining mode of teaching little ones their letters, and serves as a plaything at the same time that it takes the place of a lesson book. All aunts and uncles, as well es parents, should not fail to get a sight of the Toy Alphabet, for it is sure to be the delight of every nursery into which it may find its way.' —The Christian World. . .

THE REVALENTA A RABIC A . 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, haemorrhoids. 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 essness, 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 pf all foods, and suitable for nvalids 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) :—" Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica 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 large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and in close proximity to the prOfitable Mines of the celebrated Real del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly £3,000,000 sterling. No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry since the completion of the great Aviadero adit of the Real del Monte Company. Ore yielding only £6 98. per ton pays all expenses— The resta therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton, cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 4s. per ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost_incurred by that company for drainage, a profit of £2,411,500 to that period was made. Prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. " Economy." Since Lord Justice Selwyn died nine months ago, his place on the bench in the Court of Appeal in Chan cery has not been filled up. This crippling of the equity department has given rise to much complaint; nor is it clear what may be the motive of the Govern ment in omitting to fill up the place, except it be the desire to save the salary during the time of vacancy. But if the Solicitors' Journal be correct, there will be no such saving. Lord Justice Selwyn 's successor will be entitled to the salary from the death of the late judge ! All the Governm ant will have gained by keeping the Co'irt for the best part of the legal year in a state of inefficiency will have been the right to hand over to the fortunate individual upon whom they may eventually confer the vacant office nine months' salary (£4,600), for which he will have done exactly nothing, Government Wrappers for Newspapers. On the abolition of the impressed stamp the Government will supply stamped wrappers for the conveyance of newspapers. This plan will do away with the inconvenience that would otherwise result from the com pulsory use of the adhesive stamp. The new stamp to be employed will be similar to the present postage stamp, but one-third smaller, and instead of the words " Postage One Penny," will have the words " Postage Halfpenny." The colour, as at pre sent arranged, will be dark purple. The New Irish Commander-in-Chief. Sir William Mansfield, who has just returned from India, and who is now about to succeed Lord Strath nairn as Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Forces, is described as having on his face or figure little sign of the mental and bodily work against which he has had to contend for a term of twelve years in India. The Army and Navy Gazette says he is still apparently "full of fight," and referring to his speech at the Literary Fund dinner, asserts that any one who had - heard him would have been aware that he was listening to a man of thought, and of decision. It appears that Captain the Hon. W. llarbord would have probably accompanied Sir W. Mansfield to Ireland, but that the Horse Guards insisted on the observance of the five years' rule, and on his going back to his regi ment for two years more. The Army and Navy, The Army and Navy Gazette understands that it is not improbable that Colonel W. L. Ingall, C. 8., 62nd Regiment, and Colonel P. W. Mac Mahon, 36th Regiment, will be appointed permanently to the Staff of the Bengal Army whenever vacancies may occur. —The same paper has the following items:— A distinguished-service pension is vacant by the death of Colonel W. Fenwick, 10th Foot.— Admiral Warren will retain his present .command at the Noro until June.—Captain Cowper Phipps Coles, C.R, has embarked in the Captain. The gallant officer is in a very weak state of health, but it is expected that the short cruise will be of benefit to him.— Lieutenant-Colonel F. Middleton has been appointed superintendent of the new garrison instructors. He will have the rank and pay of assistant quarter master-general.---Sir R. Airey will in all likelihood succeed Lord Paidet as adjutant-general at the Horse Guards.—Her Majesty's birthday will be celebrated in Malta on May 30.—The United Service Gazette says that Colonel P. W. Macmahon, C. 8., commanding the 36th Foot, and Colonel W. Lenox Ingall, C. 8., commanding the 62nd Regiment, have been appointed to the Brigade Staff in India, with the rank of Brigadier-Generals; and that a good service pension has been conferred on Inspector- General of Hospitals William Mackenzie, C. 8., C. 5.1., A.M., and M.D., of the Indian Medical Department, Madras. votes. Mi s giving t rag e. women bliss B n Wedgwood a Wedgwood let ter de t f o e i o i t d n h s e W the sp o e b m c i t l l a a t f n o o r ' i s . she sets forth that the only object involved in the bill now before Parliament is, that exceptional women should be ad mitted to share in the rights and responsibilities of average men. Those who perform a man's work ought to have a man's privileges whatever they may be. It has been said that the bill endeavours to "esta blish a new and invidious disqualification in the case of married women as against their unmarried sisters." This Miss Wedgwood thinks utterly irrelevant. It is true that the measure does not attempt to remedy all the disadvantages under which women at present stand. "Its very object being to do away with the dis qualifications of sex, it does not re-introduce enact ments founded on sex. It merely says, give human beings who have similar burdens similar advantages. When married women can hold their own property, they will, of course, enter on all the rights and all the duties of property ; the measure now before the House clears the way for such a step, by proposing that the full rights of pro perty shall be common to women as women. No doubt the wife who supports her family by her own earnings would be a character still more exceptional than the spinster who kept her own house. She would also need in a yet higher degree the pro tection and. respect which it would be one important result of this bill to confer on poor women." The Observatory in Danger. Astronomers and lovers of nature will alike be dismayed to hear of the last innovation of those terrible iconoclasts—the railway companies. It is proposed to invade Greenwich Park, and a line is to pass right through it, to the great vexation of holiday-goers and the infinite annoy ance of the inmates of the Observatory. It is satis factory to find the Admiralty roused to unwonted action, preparing to resist the bill. The Astronomer Royal, in a memorandum addressed to the Admiralty, states that every foreign geographical determination of distant points has for many years depended upon Greenwich. H a railway passed through the park, the accuracy of the observations might be called in question, and the consequences would be disastrous. This is something more than a scien tific quibble; it is a reasonable objection to a totally unreasonable proposal. The experi ments made by the Admiralty Hydrog,rapher shew that in some instances the tremor caused by a passing train has been felt at a distance of 3,000 feet. It is not surprising that these men of science, conscious of the value and im portance of work which is, as they maintain, not merely national, but universal, should manifest a little irri tation at finding a question of pounds, shillings, and peace, and the local convenience of a small suburban district, put in competition with the accuracy of ob servations whose influence extends throughout the habitable globe, The British public has lately been shocked by a statement that Mr. Johnson, a master builder of Manchester, lives in constant danger of his life from the antagonism of trade unions, and scarcely less shocked by another statement that Mr. Johnson cannot have proper police protection without paying eightpence an hour for each man so employed. The Manchester town clerk has "explained' this last astonishing rumour. Mr. Johnson can, he kindly announces, have any protection he needs for his person "without charge ;" but if he requires men to guard his works he must pay the eightpence. This " explana tion " will leave most people in as much perplexity as ever. Mr, Johnson pays his rates like most other citizens, but he is told that in case of special danger all the security he can have is the superintendence of the solemn personage who, in his regular " beat" passes a given point perhaps once in an hour— that is, no security whatever. The general public impression of police duties has been that where there is clearly special danger there should be special precautionS. But the town clerk of Manchester is the man to set us all right on that point. If Mr. Johnson's works were in jeopardy from Fenians, it would, we suppose, be equally a case of eightpence an hour. Magisterial Justice. Two decisions, illustrating the discrimination which culpable parties may occasionally hope for in this country at the hands of justice, were made a day or two since at the Saffron petty sessions. A man named Stubbings was found guilty of steal ing seven pheasants' eggs, the property of Lord Braybrooke, and was ordered to pay a fine of 275. At a later hour of the day two labourers were accused of having in a drunken brawl nearly killed a fellow creature who had been a fortnight in hospital atter the attack made upon him, and who appeared in court in a weak state. In this instance the Bench considered that the offence was only a common assault on the part of the defendants.' There was no evidence to prove malice aforethought, and the prisoners would there fore be discharged, upon each paying 7s. Gd. fine and 325. Gd. costs. The inequality of the two sentences called forth some strong expressions of disapproba tion from a crowd of listeners at the trial. Women's Missions. Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the desirability of conferring political rights on women, there can hardly be any with regard to the suitability of the field in which the wife of the Premier chooses to display her powers. Those who visited the parochial mission at St. Luke's, Milwall, a night or two since would have been surprised to find themselves in the midst of a " reception " by Mrs. Gladstone. Some 350 women of that populous and miserable district had accepted her invitation, and sat down to a substantial meal, which long-con tinued privation bad rendered as rare as it was wel come. After tea Mrs. Gladstone briefly and feelingly addressed the women, and spoke of the deep sympathy which had been felt in high quarters with the sufferings of the neighbourhood, adding a little sound practical advice. Two or three clergymen present afterwards spoke to them, and the evening passed off as pleasantly as profitably to all concerned. It is clear that from whatever spheres of action they may be debarred there is still some scope for the superfluous energies of enterprising dames of the nineteenth century in the waste places of wealthy London. The Privileges of an Ambassador. " C.," in a letter to the Times, criticises the view of " Historicus " on the bearings of international law. The writer submits, that the positive law of England discredits the conclu sion of " Historicus," that it discriminates in any case between an ambassador or other diplomatist and a pri vate person. He contends that if he were to meet the representative of a powerful State in Pall Mall, pick a quarrel with him, and knock him down, no more punishment could be inflicted on him than if he had committed a similar assault on any other person. This doctrine, he believes, will be found correct when the inquiry ascends from dicta to principles. Female Education in India. Miss Mary Carpenter addressed a meeting called IT the East India Association on female education in India. The interest of the occasion was added to by the presence of Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen and several llindoo ladies and gentlemen in native costume. Miss Carpenter described her mission in India. Its object, she said, was not to found institutions, but to learn what could be done to help native gentlemen in the great work which only of late they had been able to promote. At present girls were taken from school at 11 years of age, partly because it was not considered proper for them to remain under male teachers after that age. She referred to several native gentlemen who had suffered religious persecu tion for their efforts to emancipate their ladies from the social customs of India, and detailed the made which she adopted to bring about an improved system of instruction by native women teachers. What was chiefly wanted, she observed, was Govern ment recognition of the system. Threatened Strike in the Iron Trade. The Railway News notices the improved position of the iron trade, the demand of the miners for increased wages, and the prospect of a strike if the masters are not sufficiently well advised to make mo derate concessions. A. strike in this direction is most seriously . to be deprecated. The iron trade just now is showing gratifying symptoms of a recovery from a long period of inactivity. According to the state ment of the President of the Miners' Association the stock of iron during the last few months has been reduced by no less than 20,000 tons, and so short is the supply at the present time that in the Cleveland district, if the men who supplied the hundred and one furnaces, were to take six days' holiday the furnaces would be closed for want of material. It would, says the Railway News, be far better to pay an increased rate of wages and rely upon improved prices in the market than to paralyse the operations of one of the most important branches of our national industry. The Society of Friends and Education. A. deputation from the Society of Friends has waited on Mr. Gladstone and Mr. W. E. Forster, on the subject of the Elementary Education Bill. A document was handed to the Prime Minister, in favour of Bible and Scriptural instruction, in elementary schools, but suggesting that the teach ing of any denominational catechism or peculiar doctrine should be prohibited as a direct infringe ment of religious liberty. It also urged the adequate provision of schools in districts where there were no board schools. Literary Politicians. The announcement of a new work by Mr. Disraeli has set the Americans thinking that English society has an advantage over their own in the fact indulging in its best thinkers are cont inuall y in authorship. " We Americans," one of the critics observes, "are very pron e to estimate self-made men. Our cousins also appreciate them, but they have a class of men who are trained to thought and actio n ." Among these appear scholastic prodigies like Macau lay,Derby, Disraeli, and others. The result of all thi s i s declared to be that politics and letters are blended, and the fruit is a national benefit. Another writer on the same subject asks why some of the American politicians, who happen to be among the " outs," do not turn their attention to fiction, and cites as an in stance that Mr. Andrew Johnson wou ld b e b e tt er employed . in writing a novel than in stirring up dis sension in Tennessee. Mushroom Railway Undertakings. A contemporary calls the attention of the investing public to the numerous mushroom American rail way undertakings in the market. They appear to have received liberal patronage in Germany, although they have not been regarded with much favour in London, and are making their way into the provinces. In Manchester, Liverpool,Glasgow, and Edinburgh for example, says our contemporary, subscriptions are now being invited for the Indianopolis, Bloomington, and IN estern Railway. It expresses a hone that Man chester investors will not prove tciemselves less shrewd than their London brethren in this matter, and will not have reason hereafter to regret their easy credulity, Details of the miserable results of emigration to Venezuela come to us in the shape of an official despatch from the Governor of Trinidad. It appears that a small number of Englishmen had been sent out to this place as colonists br a trading company having its offices in London. They arrived, almost utterly destitute, to find an unhealthy locality on the Caura river, which, though wholly unimproved, not a single tree having been cut or a swamp drained or a hut built on it, had been sold to them by the company at the price of £4 for ten acres. This is the market price in Venezuela for three square miles of land. Pre sident Della Costa sent them three months' provisions from Ciudad Bolivar, a large part of which were stolen by canoe men, and they were attacked by dysentery fever and almost starved. Eventually the party made their way from the settlement, a third of them dying on their way to Ciudad Bolivar. The officers of the company, says the despatch, are at " No. 3, the Crescent, American Square, London, E.C., and the firm are styled " The Chartered American, English, and Venezuelan Trading and -Commeicial Company." Intending emigrants will do well to obey Captain Cuttle's inj unction with re ference to this company—" when found make a note of." Tory Nationalism. The Longford Election has resulted in a victory for the Liberal, Mr. Greville Nugent, over the Tory- Nationalist, Mr. King Harman. The Standard ex presses no regret at such a result. It is, in the opinion of all good Conservatives, a bad thing that a supporter of Mr. Gladstone and the nominee of the Catholic priesthood should be returned; but there is a worse fate for Longford even than This, and the Standard thinks it would be found in the election of Mr. King Harman. The Conservative paper is very severe upon this gentleman's confession of political faith. " The hybrid phrase which describes his views, or professions, is an insult at once to the loyalty and the • honour of the Tory party, and to the intelligence of the Irish people. Between the Tory and the Irish Nationalist there is an impassable gulf ; they stand at the very oppo site poles of political conviction, and between them lie all the shades of opinion, from that of the most moderate or Constitutional Liberal down to that of the wildest Radical who still professes a sincere allegiance to the Crown and to the law, a true attachment to the integrity of the empire and the safety of the country." Loyalty to Queen and Constitution, continues the Standard, is the foundation of a Tory's political faith; Irish Nationalism, even if it admit a saving clause to preserve the show of allegiance to the Sovereign, aims at a change which would render the Constitution little more than a name, and the Sove reign's authority in Ireland the very shadow of a shade. It will be strange if the new Tory Nationalist theory survive this assault. South Leicestershire. The promotion of Viscount Curzon to the Upper House may give rise to a stout battle for the South Leicestershire seat, which he leaves vacant. Party struggles in that constituency have been very severe of late. For the thirty-five years preceding 1867, no Liberal had ever been sent to Parliament by South Leicestershire. In that year Mr. Packe died, and Mr. Paget fo , ight a Liberal battle against Mr. Pell. The contest was very severe ; but the Conservatives were perhaps a little too confident of retaining a seat which they had held so long, and hence Mr. Paget won by 2,302 to 2,264. This defeat roused the Con servative party ; they made great exertions to turn the register in their favour; and when the general election took place the issue of 1867 was reversed. Mr. Paget was 250 votes behind Mr. Pell, and a little more in the rear of Viscount Curzon, How the ap proaching contest will end is therefore an interesting question. Mr. Heygate, of Mappleton Grange, near Loughborough, has accepted the Conservative invi tation, and Mr. Paget will again do battle for the Liberals. Both candidates have much local in fluence. Wanted, a Representative. The Conservatives in East Suffolk are in a very unwonted difficulty—they cannot find a candidate. That division of the county has been held uninterruptedly by the Tories since 1835, while the Liberals, who have six times con tested the seats, have been defeated by large majorities, and yet the vacant seat is now likely to bo filled by a Liberal or Radical, for lack of the bodily presence of a live Conservative at the hustings. Whether on the princi ple of tuujours perdrix the Suffolk Conservatives are wearied of continual success, and think the chance of a defeat elsewhere more attractive, or whether politics are going out of fashion in the county, is uncertain ; but the senior member for East Suffolk is likely to bare a Radical colleague. There is no lack of party spirit on the subject, for several indignant Conservatives are loudly denouncing the supineness of their kindred politicians. As their energies, how ever, only expend themselves in wrathful correspond ence, there is not much chance of their securing the seat. THE MURDERS IN GREECE. An eighth series of letters relating to the murders at Marathan has been kindly issued by Lord Clarendon. Most of the space is occupied by a long statement made by Louis Gleissner, a German courier who accompanied Lord and Laxly Muncaster and Mr. Vyner on their journey in Greece, and who acted as a messenger between Lord Muncaster and Mr. Vyner during the latter's captivity with the brigands. There are also one or two short letters from Mr. Vyner and Mr. Lloyd to Lord Muncaster. On April 19 Mr. Vyner wrote : —" I consider the idea of Gleissner exchanging with me impossible (an offer to this effect had been made by Gleissner himself), and were it possible I would not hear of it for a minute. Telegraph to De Grey to ask Lord Clarendon to urge on the Greek Government to get us released, as they can do it, and will, if sufficient pressure is put on them ; and write to him, or send on this letter, explaining that this is no ordinary act of brigandage, but to a certain amount political ; and that we went to Marathon on the War Minister's word." The last letter is one from Mr. Vyner, and is supposed to have been written on April 20. In it he says :—" The Chief has said to Noel that he will keep us safe for three or four months ; but, of course, the sol diers being let loose has done away with our security, and on the first engagement with the troops we must die, as they would kill us at once. The proposition of being sent out of the country, they at present will not agree to at all. On the second proposition of being sent to prison for trial, they say rather than do that th e y wou ld di e fighting, as they put no trust in the Greek Government. There is one thing they would agree to, namely, that a formal trial should be held here and that they should be pardoned afterwards ; this does not seem illegal ; and thank the King and his Ministers on my behalf for their kindness, and say that I do not ask (for I am powerless to do that), but that, as a dying man, I implore of them humbly to grant this request of the brigands, and to prevent the operations of the soldiers ; as if not, we must die in a day or two, besides the needless bloodshed that would ensue. The Government official regards our position as beyond hope, so that we must trust to God that we may die bravely, as Englishmen should do Pray for your unfortunate but affectionate friend, FREDERICK VYNER.—P.S.—Shew this to Mr. Erskine, , if you like. No chance of a messenger ; if there is send a Bible. These men are desperate ; no pressure will avail." A telegram from Athens says :—" The Greek bar has protested against Mr. Erskine's letter of the 16th of April, and have denied that the brigands, according to their own statement, made to the agents of Messrs. Zalmis, had sent into Athens to consult three advocates of high s tanding. " It is understood that the French Ministry have formally or informally resigned to be reconstructed. La France thinks the appointment of the Due de Grammont as Foreign Minister is certain. A deputation of the inhabitants of Folkestone has waited on Baron Rothschild to solicit his assistance in opposing Mr. Fowler's scheme for crossing the Channel. The Baron did not think the scheme would ever be carried into effect, whatever might be done in the House of Commons. He further said that it was his intention to vote against the measure whenever the opportunity occurred. Considerable damage was done by thunderstorms which traversed North and East Yorkshire on Thursday. At Weaverthorpe, on the Wolds, six ewes were killed in the middle of a large flock. In Newton Dale the light ning struck one of the well-known post-glacial sea cliffs and brought down hundreds of tons of rock. In Ways gate Howl the lightning killed a horse and goat, and set fire to the heather. Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., STERN NECESSITY. By the Author of " No Church," "Owen, a Waif," &c.
