HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE. DU BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids, and Infants' Food, THE REVALENTA ARABICA, saves fifty times its coat 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 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 Arabie.s, Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had benn 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. 48,41:0:—" 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."

To be issued in Bonds to Bearer of £l5 each, or in multiples of Four, Eight, or Ten Bonds respectively, bearing Interest at 71 per cent, per annam. The Interest to commence from the Ist January, 1870, and to be payable half-yearly on the Ist January, and Ist July in each year. The Bonds to be Redeemed at par, by the operation of an ac cumulating Sinking Fund, in yearly drawings. The first drawing to take place on the Ist March following the com pletion of the Line from Galatz to Roumania. Messrs. GLYN, MILLS, CURRIE and Co. are autnorised by the Contractors of the Loan to receive subscriptions for the above Bonds, which are issued by virtue of a Concession granted by. His Highness Prince Charles 1., of Roumania, and approved by the Roumanian Chambers, on the 3rd of October, 1868, to provide the requisite capital for the construction of Railways in the Principalities. A portion of the contemplated lines has already been opened, and a further section is expected to be opened in the course of two or three weeks, and the re maining lines by the end of August, and before October, 1870, and only for a small portion of the lines, the latest time is stipulated to be in the course of 1871. The present issue of the Bonds is designed for the works and purchases executed, and all particlars will be found in the Report of the Special Commis sary of the Roumanian Government, appended to this Pros pectus. In the same official document, a literal-translation of which is annexed, will be found in detail the various terms and conditions of the issue. The Loan bears the immediate and unconditional guarantee of the Roumanian Government for the due payment of interest, and is moreover secured on the entire property of all the conceded Railways. The Bonds are issued at the rate of £72 per cent., being £lO 16s. per £l5 Bond, the half-yearly Coupon of 3 1 per cent. falling due Ist July, being included. The Bonds are payable by Instalments, as follows : _ _ . July lat 3 4 9 Coupon due 0 11 8 £3 0 0 Application. 4 0 0 Allotment. 7 0 0 for which Scrip Certificate will be given. 3 16 0 £lO 16 0 for Bond of each £l5. In default of due payment of the respective instalments, all previous payments will be liable to forfeiture. After payment of the final instalment, the Scrip Certificates will be exchanged at once for fully paid-up Bonds with Coupons attached. The Bonds will be issued singly or in multiples of four, eight, or ten, of the value of £6O, £l2O, and £l5O respectively. The interest is payable half-yearly, on the Ist of January and Ist July, in London, Paris, Berlin, and Bucharest. In London by Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie and Co., and the Anglo-Austrian Bank. _ _ _ The first Coupon will be payable Ist July next, and the amount will be deducted from the final instalment when due. The drawings for the redemption of the Bonds will take place annually, at Berlin, on the Ist of March, in presence of the Con cessionaires and a Notary Public, and the Bonds so drawn will be paid off at par on the Ist of July of every year. The first draw ing will take place on the Ist of March following the completion of the line. Taking into account the price of issue, and the advantages of annual drawings, the Bond will yield to holders a return of fully 10i per cent. per annum. It should be stated, as illustrating the rapid advance in credit of the Roumanian Government, and the comparative advantages offered to investors in the present Loan, that the 8 per cent Loan of the Danubian Principalities, issued three years ago at 71, has steadily risen in market value ever since, and is now quoted in the lists of. the London Stock Exchange at above 95, and the 7 per cent Danubian Loan, issued at 75 is now at 88 to 90 percent. Applications will be received on Monday and Tuesday next, May 30 and 31, at the Bank of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. Forms of Application ma• be obtained of Messrs.

David Plunket, the mem bers for Dublin University, will, it is thought pro bable, move for the extension of the University Teats Bill to Ireland. Some confirmation of the supposition appears to exist in the fact that Dr. Ball voted for, and Mr. Plunket paired for the Tests Bill at the second reading. Should the mea sure be hereafter applied to Dublin, the scholarships and fellowships in the university alone will be affected, and the former not so much as the latter, as there are already "non-foundation scholarships." of equivalent value to the ordinary college scholar ships, which are granted without the profession of any religious belief, whereas the Trinity College Fellowships are alone conceded to those graduates who take oath that they are members, and intend to remain members, of the Irish Episcopalian Church. A Suspicious Bill. If the views of the Daily News are correct in reference to the Kensington-road Improvement Bill, a piece of jobbery is about to be perpetrated which it behoves the public at once to raise their voice against. Our contemporary states that the de sign is not so much to improve the Kensing ton-road as to benefit a joint-stock company who have built a hall in which to give lectures, con certs, and balls. The hall is called the Royal Hall of Sciences, nominally to do honour to the Prince Consort, but really in order to promote its success as a speculation. What makes this company differ from other mercantile associations in the rank and high position of certain of its directors, who form part of that set of ener getic men who have contrived to render the name of South Kensington a by-word in Parliament. Emboldened by victory they now come for ward to make a proposition, which, in audacity, surpasses any previous experiment. The time having arrived for completing the building, it appears that a piece of Hyde-park-corner must be appropriated for the purposes of thie private com pany. They offer to pay for it, but will not give more than £2,000 for that which is worth £lOO,OOO. It remains to be seen whether the guardians of the people's rights will sanction the compact. At all events, the public should demand that Hyde Park be spared. - • Privacy in Parliament. Although all reasonable men are agreed as to the undesirableness of it being in the power of a single member to have reporters, strangers, and visitors summarily ejected from the House of Commons, yet it is another question whether the House should resign absolutely its right to exclude those who for business purposes or otherwise are in the galleries. It has been very justly said that there may arise occasions, though it is difficult to foresee them, when the public interest or the public safety may require the Lower House to deliberate in private. Bearing in mind this fact, it as well that the motion for the inva lidation of the privilege of members in this re spect should be postponed for further consideration. The indignity of the proceeding on Tuesday night is still fresh in the minds of those numerous mem bers who cried " Oh, oh," so lustily ; and if the power is to be still left to the House to have de bates with closed doors, the safety of that power may probably be secured by the delay. It has been sug gested as a sort of compromise, that the House should resolve to settle the question of exclusion hereafter by majorities, and the proposition is at least worthy of thought between this and Monday next. The Late Cattle Plague. The report of the Veterinary Department of the Privy Council with reference to the late cattle plague in Great Britain has been printed. Mr. Williams, whose name is appended to the volume, states that only three visitations of the rinderpest have occurred in England. In 1714, from 1745 to 1757, and in 1865. The disease in all cases is con sidered to have originated in outbreaks among cattle introduced into this country from the Continent. Experience has shewn that the word contagious is more applicable to the plague than infection, and that the smallest particle of diseased matter so small as to be incapable, even of detection —can communicate the . pest. The theory of minute par ticles floating in the air, however, is totally discarded in the report. , Mr. -Williams ex plains that " stamping out " is found to be the only preventative of the plague, i. e. the immediate slaughter of the infected animal or animals. All idea of curing diseased cattle before the contagion extends is abandoned, as isolation, though probably resulting satisfactorily as far as the animal first attacked was concerned, would be so difficult to obtain in this country that its adoption is looked upon as an impossibility. The report states that the means of detecting the rinder )est are now comparatively well known, and Mr. Williams -confidently states that the plague, if it again visited England, would be stamped out before any serious damage could be done. The late disastrous epidemic is said to have resulted in a direct loss of property, without reckon ing the indirect losses, worth five millions sterling. Duplicates in the British 'Museum It is estimated that there are in the British Museum one hundred thousand duplicate works, and the question has naturally arisen whether they can not be utilised. The attention of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the affairs of the Museum in 1848 was called to a proposal for supplying dupli cates of works for the purposes of reading or other public libraries, and they expressed their opinion that such a measure might be carried out to a useful extent. The large number of free libraries now in existence affords an opportunity to the museum trus tees to render valuable aid in this direction. It is not at all necessary that books of value should be entirely parted with ; they might be offered as a loon to towns where the supply is not commensurate to the demand Road Steamers. A new road steamer and omnibus, the invention of a Mr. R. W. Thompson, has been tried with a satisfactory result in the streets of Edinburgh. The wheels of the machine are tiled round with elastic bands, so that injury to the pavement may be avoided and the steam is unheard as the vehicle proceeds along the roadways. This latter is a great advantage, as the danger of alarm being caused to horses by the hissing and snorting of an engine is entirely avoided. The new omnibus was on Wednesday per fectly under control, and that there was no need of elaborate precautions in the way of signal ing usually found necessary when locomotives are used on roadways. Mr. Thomson's car is attached to the engine by couplings, and it is of sufficient length to seat sixty-five pas sengers, including outsiders. On the trial trip the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, several members of the Town Council, and some scientific visitors were accommodated with seats in the vehicle, and at the termination of an hour's drive through the principal streets, in which it was seen that the locomotive and omnibus took their places with the usual traffic with out hindrance or trouble to anyone, loud praises of the new road carriage were lavished upon its owner. The invention of Mr. Thomson has for a long time been talked about, but he has never shown its advan tages to the public till now. Cockney Pleasures. " Not to know the old Welsh Harp and its landlord is to be ignorant of a remarkable phase of Cockney life ! So famous has the, " Harp" become that the directors of the Mid land Railway have called a railway station by its name, and now the " Welsh Harp" as seen in Bradshaw takes its place with St. Alban's and Northampton, and seems to be as much considered in its arrangements for passenger traffic as many a populous city. This wonderful hotel is near Kingsbury, and the proprietor is said to have accidentally . strolled into it one Sunday evening, after the Crimean War, with a small capital at his bankers, and to have com pleted a purchase of the house and its stock before he left. There are, it would seem, a host of stories collected already about this tavern, and many and strange are the anecdotes of ladies of high rank who have walked the grounds in the present owner's time, of Royal sportsmen who have hung up their rods in the hall, and of duke's whose drags have bowled up to the door, A. writer of the PRICE 1 d. STAMPED 2d. Daily News has made himself thoroughly acquainted with all these facts, and also with all the small attractions which make the inn, to a casual visitor one of the resorts which contributed a large amount of pleasure to the cockney, whether he .be fashion able, or whether he be - humble and poor.- " Spend," says the writer, " a Saturday and Sunday at the Welsh Harp, mingle with its people, dine at its' ordinary, and become acquainted with its ways," and you will be amply repaid. Dinners you will obtain par excellence, gardens you will see bldoming with flowers, and a river you will find filled with fish. Guests you will, meet staid and hilarious, military and civil, and traditions you • will hear, which are so impt•essive that they will only shew you how inade quate, as records, are the. year books, annuals, and almanacs you have ever before consulted." Reading all this description, and consider ing that it is merely that of an inn, one cannot help feeling that Thackeray's partiality for warm club rooms, caf6 restaurants, cognac saloons, and heroes who will ever smoke, has had a woeful effect upon the literary men of this day, who have now evidently entered into a conspiracy to shew the pleasure of these things to the world, and to ruin it as fast as they can. Brigandage as a Political Institution. It is currently believed that brigandage in Greece, is a political institution, and. that no Minister is bold enough to attack it, because to do so would be a declaration of war against the policy, which finds it convenient occasionally to send brigands to the Ottoman frontier to get up insurrections. The Greeks have chosen this extra ordinary time to call for a rectification of their fron tier, though Takos and his nine associates are still uncaptured in Greece. If any Minister were to expel from the capital criminals who have received an amnesty he would at once be accused of having done so from party motives, and his successor would very likely recall the criminals. The expe rience of thriller Ministers was not encouraging. Korphiotakes, Minister of Finance, was assassinated in Athens in broad daylight, and another Sotero poulos, was captured, and had to pay £2,500 before he escaped. When such immunity is enjoyed by the brigands we need not wonder that Ministers of State are afraid to provoke their hostility by ener getic oppressive action.. The Smallpox in Paris. The Lancet observes that some idea of the magni tude of the small-pox epidemic in Paris may be formed from the fact that the'number of deaths re ceived last week was 195. being an increase of 16 on the previous weeks return. The population of Paris is less than half that of London, yet the maximum number of deaths occurring in the latter city during any week of the year of greatest small-pox fatality for a third of a century never reached 100. No fewer than 1,940 fatal cases have occurred in Paris in the twenty weeks elapsed of the present year, a mortality equivalent to an annual death-rate of 2.7 per 1,000 of the population, the corresponding ratio for London being 0 . 1 per 1,000. There appears to be not the slightest question, says the Lancet, that this most lamentable state of things in the French capital is attributable to the neglect of vaccination. The North German Parliament. The first ordinary Parliament of the North German Confederation has just concluded its fourth session. King William closed the Parliament in person and congratulated the members on the vast amount of work which they had accomplished. He enumerated the prin cipal measures which had been passed, the treaties which had been entered into, including the reform of the Federal postal system, and the conventions with Great Britain and the United States. The organization of the army of the Confederation was now complete, and the war-force of the Bund was in process of development in a manner worthy of the national expectations. By the stamp duty on exchange bills a Federal tax in the interest of freedom of commerce had been established, and the establish ment of laws and customs, based on common rights, had been achieved to a degree hardly anticipated. The establishment of a supreme Federal tribunal would shortly be accomplished, and the new penal code was one of the most important steps to wards it. The great object of the unity of the German criminal law could only be attained by mutual sacrifices. The King thanked the members for having so readily agreed to the. sacrifices demanded, and said the satisfaction he felt at the result of their labours was shared throughout Germany and beyond its frontiers. The North German Confederation, by its vigorous labours, was preparing the way to German unity and to general peace, to the preservation of which the respect and confidence of foreign peoples and Governments would contribute. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Robert John Eden, D.D., Baron Auckland, late Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, was proved in the London Court, on the 13th instant, under £120,000 personalty, by his son, the Right Hon. William George Eden, the present Baron. His Lordship died at the Palace, Wells, on the 25th ult., aged seventy-one, leaving surviving three sons and four daughters. The will is dated March 6, 1867, and two codicils, Oct. 9, 1868, and August 14, 1869, and is signed, " Auckland, Bath and Wells." His lord ship leaves to his wife an immediate legacy of £l,OOO, his carriages, books, and such portion of his plate as she may select, together with all plate known as " Am bassadors' Plate," which had belonged to his father, William, first Lord Auckland, the eminent diplomatist ; also the choice of one of his London residences, 2, Grosvenor-crescent, Belgrave-square, and 13, Queen-square Westminster; which, after her decease, will revert to his eldest son ; and a life interest in the sum of £20,000 ; which sum, after her decease, is to be divided amongst his children, in addition to all other bequests or provision made for them. The plate presented to his lordship by the inhabi tants of Battersea, of which parish he had been the vicar from 1822 to 1835, he leaves to his eldest son, to be held as heirlooms and descend with the title and honour of Baron Auckland. He leaves to his butler, James Appleby, a legacy of £lOO (free). The dividends arising from the shares in the East India Railway standing in the name of Lady Auckland, his wife, are...to he applied to her Ladyship's use during her life, then to devolve to his daughters, Florence and Maria Harriet. The resitue of his property, real and personal, he leaves to his eldest son, Lord Auckland. The will of General the Hon. C. Grey, Colonel7lst Regiment, Private Secretary to the Queen, and formerly to H.R.H. the Prince Consort, was proved, in London, under £5,000 personalty. This distinguished officer was second son of Charles Earl Grey, K.G., and heir presumptive to the earl dom. He had sat in the House of Commons for Wycombe ; and died March 31 last, aged sixty-six. The will of Daniel Maclise, R-A., who died on the 25th ult., aged fifty-nine, was proved in London, under £40,000 personalty. The will of the Right Rev. Ashhurst Turner Gilbert, D.D., Lord Bishop of Chichester, was proved at Chichester, on March 311ast, under £12,000 personalty, by his sons, Robert Wintle Wintle, Esq. , of Lincoln's Inn and Warwick-square, and the Rev. Thomas Morrell Gilbert, the joint acting executors. The will bears date April 17, 1869, and this venerable prelate died on February 21 last, at the great age of 88. The will is brief. After leaving to several members of his family each a legacy of £lO, he bequeaths his presentation plate to his son Robert, the rest of his plate, books, and furniture he divides between his unmarried daughters and his sons Robert and Thomas. His house in Queen Anne-street he leaves to his unmarried daughters. The residue of his property he leaves to his daughter Sarah Jane and his son Thomas.—lllustrated London News. The Hon. and Very Rev. Gerald Wellesley, Dean of Windsor, has been appointed Lord High Almoner to the Queen, in the place of the Bishop of Winchester, who has resigned' that appointment. - - Lawrence and Margaret Shields, brother and sister, who were convicted at the last assizes at Tullamore, and sentenced to death for murdering Patrick Dunne in Feb ruary, near Phillipstown, were executed yesterday morning within the gaol. The case of the convicts, who had been recommended to mercy by the jury, was considered by the Lord-Lieutenant, but the law was allowed to take its course in consequence of the aggravated character of the murder. Mr. Chichester Fortescue, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, received a deputation yesterday, consisting of Mr Synan, M.P. for County Limerick, Mr Shaw, M.P. for Bandon, Mr Kirk, M.P. for Newry, Mr Gregory, M.P. for County Galway, Mr Callan, M.P. for Dundalk, and Messrs. Coote and Talbot, solicitors, on the subject of the introduction, by the Government, of a bill to amend the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, and Tramways (Ireland) Amendment Act,lB6l. Mr. Synan ex plained that the principal object of the measure was to legalise the use of locomotives as well as animal power in the working of tramways in Ireland, and that a similar bill in every respect as the one now required had passed through the Commons in 1861, without opposition. Mr. Fortescue promised to give the matter his early considera tion, and he added that if the Government could not bring in the bill themselves, they would look favourably on a measure which any members might ask leave to introduce.
