Established 1811 HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE. DU BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids and Infants' Food. THE REVALENTA A RABIOA. 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,diarrhcea, all gastric derangements, hemorrhoids, 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, headachy, 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 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." Cure No. 5Q,216 of the Marchioness de Brehan of seven years' liver complaint, wasting away, debility, nervousness, irritability, with a nervous palpitation all over, bad digestion, constant sleep lessness, and the most intolerable nervous agitation. Cure No. 78, of dyspepsia, from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart de Decies, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Waterford; "I have derived much benefit from your excellent food.—STUART DE DE CIIB, Dromana, Cappoquin, County Waterford." Cure No. 49,832.—0 f fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness, and vomiting.—Maria Jolly of Lynn, Norfolk. Cure No. 47,121.—Mi5s Elizabeth Jacobs, of extreme nervous ness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies. Cure No 56,8 4.—Mr. Samuel Laxton, Leicester, of two years' diarrhea.

The letter of the consistent Nonconformist, Mr. Baines, has called forth further expression of opinion from Lord Shaftesbury, who thinks that Mr. Baines's testimony ought to be considered as proof positive that the Dissenting bodies are, as a rule, not opposed to Bible teaching for school children. His lordship is certain that among women-nonconformists the desire for religious instruction is almost unanimous, and he, moreover, believes that if the admission of the Bible was conceded the clergy and laity of the Church of England would assent to the exclusion of catechisms and formularies from the rate-provided schools. The University Tests Bill. A. partial contradiction is given to the statement made by the Times that the extreme Conservative party at Cambridge had, on Monday, attempted to coerce the Council of Senate to affix their seal to the petition against the University Tests Bill. The real facts of the case were that 95 members of the Senate addressed a memorial to the council, urging them to affix the seal, but as there was another memorial to a contrary effect, there was no more " coercion" on one side than the other. The allegation with reference to the extreme Conservative party was also incorrect, as the names attached to the memorial chew that it emanated from men holding different opinions. Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister. That large portion of the British public who have not had time to think deeply respecting the question of marriage with the sister of a dead wife, are unaware of all the per plexing and intricate difficulties in the way of a settlement of the matter. A. new problem altogether has just been raised with respect to the particulars involved in the following case :—A. man married his deceased wife's sister, lived with her for some years, and left her without intervention of the Divorce Court. He subsequently married another lady, with whom he has lived to the present time. It is asked, Will the Bill now before Parliament have the effect of legalising the first-named marriage, the last-named being legal now ; or will it annul the latter, or authorise polygamy ? Mr. Erskine and the Greek Brigands. The Opposition in Greece have not rested quietly under the imputation cast upon them in respect to the massacre. The have made such strong repre sentations on the subject to M. Zaimis, that he felt compelled to bring the matter under the notice of Mr. Erskine. Among the correspondence just published by the Foreign Office is a letter from ➢lr. Erskine to Lord Clarendon on this subject. lie encloses a copy of a letter from M. Zaimis, requesting him to rectify a misap prehension which had arisen from Mr. Erskine's statement "that the brigands were in com munication with some of the leading members of the Opposition," which is understood to apply to the leaders of the Opposition. Mr. Erskine, in reply to M. Zaimis, corroborates the Greek Minister's assertion that he did not mention the chiefs of the Opposition themselves, and he does not consider his words bear that meaning. Mr. Erskine is of opinion that there is strong evidence against the guide Alexander, and also that the per son who accompanied the Government agents to treat with the brigands was well known to them, and considered as a Government, spy. 110 is tho loootliAr of one of the brigands. International Copyright. There is hope for American and English authors. We have a prospect of seeing the great copyright grievance redressed. Up to the present time both nations have had reason to be dissatisfied, and who ever profited by the enormous circulation of Eng lish books in America, and American books in England, very certainly it has in few cases been either the author or the legitimate publisher. A system has hitherto prevailed among American book pirates of conniving with the local Custom-houses on the Canadian frontier to exclude legitimately copyrighted English books from the States. Such books have often been seized onthe flimsiest pretences, but the American Government has at last interfered. The Custom House at Chicago seized some English books, and upon a representation of the case being made at Washington the Government telegraphed an order of release. According to the Toronto Globe a treaty has been latterly signed at Washington on the model of the one concluded with France. A special clause accords colonial copy right the same value as imperial copyright, which is a great desideratum for Canada. The Americans are treated with equal liberality, and it is to be hoped that this great literary grievance will be at last re moved. Long Government Credit. " Sold Out," in a letter to the Standard, relates the following pecuniary hardship. He says that about the end of February last he wished to withdraw from a line regiment, and forwarded the usual application to be allowed to retire from the service by the sale of his commission. He was compelled to add a sentence to the effect that he . was willing to wait for the price of his commissiOn, £450, till such time as arrangements could be made to place it to his credit. He was gazetted out of the army about the last week in M'Srch, and up to this time he has heard nothing of the money, The official notes and evidence of the inquiry at Yokohama into the collision between the Oneida and the Bombay are such as will be read with pain by every Englishman. The accusation of Mr. De Long, the American repre sentative, was that the Bombay did, on a calm, star light night, come into collision with the Oneida, causing her to sink, with 112 of her crew. That after the collision the Bombay, an iron steamer, with a crew of ninety-three men, and equipped with seven boats, stood on into port without lowering a boat, changing her course, or making a sig nal. That 'anchoring in a harbour surrounded by men of nearly all nations the officers of the' Bombay saw proper to give -no alarm during that entire night of what occurred, leaving the affair to reach the authorities by means of the efforts of the survivors of the Oneida, simply mentioning the circumstance of a collision in such a manner as to give rise to no serious apprehension. This of course is the way in which the Americans put it. The . tone may be a little exaggerated, but the court foiind that though Mr. Eyre was not to blame for the collision, he was " guilty of acting hastily and ill-advisedly, in that instead of waiting and endea vouring to render assistance to the Oneida, he, with out having reasonable belief that his own vessel was in a perilous position, proceeded on his voyage." The Chelsea Tragedy. Mr. Stanesbury, the neighbour of the unfortunate Mr. Huelin, residing at 14, Paulton-square, in a long letter to the Daily Telegraph, endeavours to refute the rumours that have gone abroad relative to the inaction shewn by the police and the neighbour hood in connection with the recent murders. In the first place he denies that it was " two full days" before suspicion was aroused. He says that going home at ten o'clock on Monday night, and hearing that Mr. Huelin's dog bad whined for admittance during the day, he entered the house by the back part, with two policemen. They went into every room and opened every cupboard and cellar. The house ap peared simply as if it were undergoing spring cleaning. The police thought Mr. Huelin must have taken this opportunity of leaving town, and that the servant had gone for a holiday. On Tuesday he saw the dog on the step still, and took it in and fed it. Feeling more concerned, Mr. Stanesbury says he went to find 111 r. Huelin's friend Mr. Carter. Mrs. Carter thought ilr. Huelin and the servant must have gone to Lin colnshire. The girl in charge told Mr. Carter when he went to the house that Mr. Huelin's nephew had arrived, which reassured Mr. Carter and himself. He adds that the large box in which the body of the housekeeper was put was seen by himself and the porter, but that it was such a box as any respectable servant might have for her clothes. He contends that these facts upset the charges of inaction and stolid indifference made either against the police or the neighbours. The Men in Women's Clothes. The case against Messrs. Boulton and Park is being protractd in a very extraordinary manner, and public comment upon the conduct of the autho rities who have charge of it is beginning to have a tendency adverse to their discrimination and wisdom. It is not just to the public to withhold_ the graver aspect of the affair, neither is it just to the young defendants to make insinuations of matters which it may never be possible to prove. It is a strange circumstance that none of the relatives of the gebtie - mdir" have come forward to account for. their strange conduct. The letters published, beyond revealing grave heartlessness on the part of some one named " John" towards " a charmingly dressed beau tiful fool, with £30,000 a year," do not seem to be anything more than common-place effusions. Of course in this opinion allusion is only made with respect to the published letters. What the contents of the "fourth " document were must remain unknown till the reticence, perhaps discre tionary, of the prosocution is allowed no longer to exist. The mode of procedure is certainly causing grave discnssion and for the benefit of all parties con cerned we trust no more reserve will be exhibited, un less a fair reason for taking such a course is given to that large section of the public interested in the fate of the accused. Tunnel Driving. Our modern engineers have taught us to forget the difficulties inherent in tunnel driving. Mont Cenis, Sierra Nevada, the Great Andes themselves, have all yielded to the enterprise and the perseverance of the engineer; but nevertheless the task of tunneling such mountains is formidable enough. Machinery, it is true, is fast superseding hand labour, but the outlay requisite is very great. The tunnels on the Pacific Railway and through Mont Cenis have proved, though eminently successful, seriously expen sive. The machinery employed is costly, and very soon destroys 'itself from the force employed. It seems, however that a new system is being tried, by which carbonite, a sort of cheap diamond, is used, and drills are made which cut rock as easily as an augur cuts wood. This allows for the use of much more simple machinery than heretofore, as percus sion is not needed, but only rotative action. This system is being tried at one of the Welsh slate mines, where a shaft 180 yards deep, through slate rock, with occasional quartz bands has been rapidly accomplished. Four yards a week is the average of the work done by this machine, being double that of hand labour. The invention or dis covery will be of great service with respect to many remunerative mines now unworked through fear of the cost. The Farmer and his Friends. We have often had testimony on behalf of the small birds, whose useful services to the agricultu rist are so persistently overlooked by would-be sportsmen. Now, we have a fresh witness in favour of crows, in whose favour there has not hitherto been much to be said. A. gentleman while visiting Australia was staying at a farm in the Ballarat district. The farmer and he when out together, and watched a large flock of crows alight in a paddock of wheat. The farmer, justly indignant at what lie thought the mischief emg dui., bo hio oropo, went for his gun and shot several birds. Curiosity induced the visitor to open these birds, when it was very soon ascertained that they had been feasting, not upon the crops, but upon the caterpillars, whose ravages the wheat, when closely examined, clearly revealed. The negroes of Barbadoes call the common black crow a name signifying "The blessing of God," because they believe it destroys the cockroaches, which infest the island. The most prejudiced judge must acknowledge that the evidence brought forward on behalf of our feathered friends is of a very practical kind, and the farmer might very safely try the experiment of granting them an amnesty during a season or two. Manufacturing a Panic. A. -singular story reaches us from Vienna, where a complete panic prevailed on the Stock Exchange last Wednesday, owing to the circulation of a tele gram from Paris announcing the assassination of the French Emperer. It was circu lated by some speculators who were known to obtain foreign telegrams from the Telegraphic Correspondence Office before they were communica ted to the subscribers. It is of course at once appa rent that the telegram was fraudulent, but it is less evident that it had actually an official origin. The director of the Telegraphic Office had for some time suspected that his telegrams were ab stracted, and his suspicions fell on a compositor named Jacobi. He therefore had this fictitious telegram concocted in order to detect him, and suc ceeded in his object. Jacobi confessed his guilt, and was arrested. The telegrams are in future to be, printed at the Government press. No doubt it was desirable to detect the offender, and a startling piece of news was requisite to do so effectu ally, but the members of the Stock Exchange, some of whom are very heavy losers by the experiment, are complaining, not without reason, that they have been unduly sacrificed. A Oountry for Emigrants. It is not every one who knows that the city of Buenos Ayres contains innumerable English houses ' of business,English clergymen, English doctors, Eng lish druggists, an English bank, half-a-dozen Protes tant churches,schools, a liberal constitution, and liberal laws. Ithas been pointed out that the River La Plata is !perhaps more than any other territory on the globe the one which promises the largest and happiest return to the emigrant who will leave England or Germany, and settle down there. It is said that under the new administration of the country a man may enjoy liberty of trade, liberty of opinion, and religious liberty. He will find that all the great enterprises in the province are in English and not in native hands : railways, waterworks, and drainage systems. There is one drawback, and that is that the more uncivilised natives, like the Japanese, have been prone to look upon the foreigner as am invader who comes to despoil them of the fruits of their country ; they occasionally manifest their animosity by murdering the new corners, just as the coolies murdered some officers of the 20th Regiment, supposing them to be merchants, in 1864; but these assassinations are latterly very rare, and goodwill towards foreigners *appears to be extending -with the rapid enlightenment of the time. The natives, no longer oppressed by a tyrannical and irregular form of .Government, are beginning to see that their great country has for centuries been a waste, when it might have been fair and productive, and they are, there fore, anxious to welcome men who are eager with themselves to develop the vast and splendid resources of 'the land, and to extend the good fame of the Argen tine Republic. English Policy in China. A private letter, dated Shanghai, remarks that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction exist ing throughout China at the policy of the English Government. Instead of leaving some discretion in the hands of the naval commanders they have been tied by a recent injunc tion of Lord Clarendon's, and the general forbearance principle has encouraged the Chinese officials to snub the British Plenipotentiary. The French, it is added, manage these things better. An outrage on Catholic missionaries being reported lately, the French Consul went armed with the power of threats wisely left in his hands, and the grievance was soon redressed. The writer adds that the Chinese insult with impu nity until threatened, and that unless the English Government change their policy it will not be long before there is another outbreak in China. It is, in fact, merely the old story. The residents in China are always asking us to give them power to assail the Chinese at will in reprisals for real or fancied insults. Lord Clarendon, on the other hand, adoptr the policy of treating China as a civilised State. OPINION IN BRIEF. The opinions of the French papers on the new Mini sters have been thus summarised :—The Dgbats is glad that the Right has not been appealed to. The Govern ment should prepa:e a good electoral law. Constitutionnel —M. Mege and M. Plichon signed the first liberal pro grammes drawn up in the Corps L6gislatif. Sigcle—M. Rouher has not profited by his victory. The Emperor is evidently afraid to recall him. Patrie— The new Ministers must shew what they are made of. Francais—lt would be unjust to call the present Cabinet reactionary. Liberte—A week to make such changes ! llfoniteur—The Right has been unable to impose its terms. Temps—With a plebiscitum one Minister is as good as ano ther: Pays thinks the new Ministers not worthy of the new baptisM received by the Empire. Union. —Why so many efforts? Does not M. 011ivier suffice for everything? Gazette de France.—These or others ; what does it matter now that Napoleon HI. has reassumed the personal di rection of affairs? Univers.—The new Ministers prevent us regretting the old ones. Afarseillaise.—Three new clerks have been appointed. THE SUEZ CANAL. On Tuesday was published the report of Capt, Richards Hydrographer to the Admiralty, and Lieutenant Colonel Clarke, Director of Engineering and Architectural Works, on the condition and capabilities of the Suez Canal. The report is of considerable length and of much interest. The conclusions come to are the following :-4. That for a certain class of vessels this great work, which must always be a monument of persevering energy and engineering skill, as it now stands, is a convenient mode of passage from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. 2. That it will be so to a greater extent when the works contem plated, viz., the deepening of certain shallow parts, the enlargement of the Bares, and the widening and improvement of the curves, are carried out. 3. That it is available for the transit of ships employed in the Eastern Aeas, with the exception of the large ironclads, and other exceptionally heavy vessels. 4. That for the present type of Indian transports it is not a desirable route. 5. Further, we think that the cost of maintenance will not exceed the amount estimated for it when the work was first projected. FATAL COLLISION WITH AN EMIGRANT SHIP. Early on Sunday, the Ist instant, a disastrous collision occurred on the River St. Lawrence, about 115 miles be low Quebec. The screw steamer Germany, of 2,075 tons, Captain John Graham, left Liverpool for Quebec on Good Friday with over 800 passengers and crew,and arrived in the river after a passage of fifteen days. Having taken a pilot on board on Saturday night, April 30th, a little below Farther Point, and, the weather being clear she was proceeding at full speed up the St. Lawrence, when, at twenty minutes past three in the morn ing she came in collision with the steamer City of Quebec, 592 tons, Captain Connell, belong ing to the Quebec and Gulf Ports Steamship Company. The latter vessel was carrying the Govern ment mails, and 'a full cargo of stores and commercial wares, from Montreal to Quebec, to the ports on the south coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. l'he force of the collision was terrific, the Germany cutting down the City of Quebec just before the paddle-box on the port side. It was at once evident that the ship was fast sinking. Passengers and crew to the number of 59 managed to save their lives by climb ing on to the forecastle of the Germany over the anchor; but unfortunately the third engineer was killed in his berth and two steerage passengers one of whom was said to be lame, were also lost. Another passenger, a Frenchman, after escaping from the sinking ship, was killed by the fall of the Germany's fore royal-mast, thus making a total loss of four lives. After remaining locked together for some twelve or fifteen minutes, the Germany backed her engines, when the City of Quebec immediately settled by the head, threw her stern many feet into the air, and went down bow foremost, leaving no trace behind her but a boiling whirlpool to mark the spot where she disappeared. The eecape of the Germany, with her immense num ber of passengers, may be considered most pro vidential. Directly after the disaster a fire broke out in a saloon cabin, but was soon got under. The vessel proceeded slowly to Qvebec with three large holes letting daylight right through her starboard bow. Fortunately the holes were just above the water line, and the water was per- L.O l- 13 , smooth, or she must have inevitably filled. The passengers, who consisted of about equal numbers of Eng lish, Germans, and Norwegians, worked all the Sunday morning in removing the heavy cargo from the fore part of the ship, to prevent her settling by the head, and she arrived safely at Quebec at sunset. The cause of the col lision cannot be rightly ascertained until the official inquiry takes place. The Russian Government has decided to admit women into the Medical University of St. Petersburg, after passing an examination. They will be taught se parately from the male students, and the whole course of study is limited to a period of four years. A diploma as midwife, which confers the right to practice, is to be given to those who go through all the prescribed ex aminations. Yesterday morning a number of boysand young men were bathing in the river, off Rotherhithe, when a bay named Joseph Smithers. aged 14, got out of his depth and immediately disappeared. His brother, who was standing on the shore, at once jumped into the water to his rescue, when he went under and disappeared also. A cry was raised, and assistance was almost immediately at hand. Everything was done to save the boys, but without avail. An Oxford correspondent writes that no intelli gence of the gentleman who disappeared from Christ Church on Sunday night has as yet been received, but the police have been sent in search of him. There is a rumour that the other culprits intend declaring themselves to the Dean, but it is doubtful whether he has any power to receive their confession after legal proceedings have been instituted, nor, in fact, does the matter rest with him at I all but with the governing body, who announced on Mon day their determination that nothing should stop the legal proceedings. SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—A. sloop ran ashore on Tuesday on Skinburness Point, during a heavy gale, when her mast went over the side and she filled with water. The lifeboat Angela and Hannah, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, and stationed at Silloth, near Carlisle, was launched, and through a fearful sea followed the sloop, which had floated and drifted round Grune Point:pnd up the river Wampool. On arriving alongtlide, however, they found the vessel abandoned, and it of wards appeared that the crew of two men were drowned before the sloop could be reached. There is a pressure upon the great Powers of Europe to urge them to compel, on the part of Greece, the extirpa tion of the brigands, so that such outrages as the recent murders of Englishinen- may not occur again. From the practical travellers' point of_view this is a good idea. It is. no doubt, when one goes on his travels, a great deal better to go with the certainty that he may come home with his head ail right so far as the brigands otherwise might damage it. But then imagine the historical respectability , of the class it proposed to destroy. How can Conserva tive John Bull think of the thing ? Why, there are the real ancient Greeks. Achilles himself was one of those fellows, Witness his carrying away the fair Briseis, whose father followed to ransom his daughter with the richest ransoms." Thereus also, who was of the same kidney in his hot youth, gained some good fame in later life by making the roads safe by the example he gave in the punishment of Sinius, the pine bender. Sinius used to catch unwary wanderers just as the brigands recently caught the pleasuring Englishmen. Then he used to bend down the main stems of the young pine trees and tie them to the earth. Next, he used to tie the limbs of his prisoners ingeniously between the trees, one limb to one tree, another to another. So long as Sinus kept the trees tied to the earth the prisoner was comfortable enough, and while he was thus comfortable his friends might come with a ransom. If they did not come promptly Sinius gave himself no further trouble. Why should he bother? He merely , cut the cords that held the young trees to the earth, and the trees, with the splendid elasticity of their young stems, returned to their places. It was difficult to say which tree held most of the traveller in such a case. Theseus tied Sinius to a few of his finest young pine sprouts, and hence originated the phrase of " putting a person through a course of sprouts." Since then the brigands have cut their prisoners' throats, and now it is thought they will be annihilated. So antiquity passes away. But while the pressure is up to compel Greece to clean out her brigands, why not put a little of it on the good old Pope, who keeps a preserve of these precious rascals in his dominions for special uses, and is not able always to control them ? Why not clear the throat-cutting vermin of all the classical countries at once ?—New York Herald. THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE GOVERNMENT MEDICAL BILL. A meeting of the British Medical Reform Association war held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, London, for the pur - pose of considering the various provisions of the bill recer fir introduced by the Government relating to the medico profession. Dr. Chadwick, president of the associa tier. occupied the chair. The PRESIDENT, in opening the proceedings, said be regarded the large attendance as an evidence that the action of the executive in the question under considera tion met with the approval of a large proportion of the medical profession. They had assembled to consider the new Medical Bill brought into Parliament by Government, It appeared to him that the bill had one great merit. one great fault, and one great omission, and tbev would have resolutions submitted to them which would, he hoped, express their approval of the one and their thorough condemnation and dis approval of the others. They would be asked to approve of that which the association had for thirty yeais been working to obtain, and an opportunity for adopting which had presented itself for the first time. They would be asked to adopt a minimum of qualification which should secure the approbation, respect, and confidence of the public in the exercise of their calling. (Hear.) Whether that should be carried out by the adoption of one board or three boards was another question they would have to consider. It was a question of great diffi culty, because he was satisfied that the Government,even if they felt as he felt, that the principle called for one board alone, would have to meet contending influence and conflicting interests. (Hear.) He trusted that Earl de Grey would be enabled to effect such modifications in the bill as would secure the advantages which he was satisfied would ensue from one examining board, for he saw in the adoption of three boards a principle which would result in the entire subversion of everything the Association was now doing. (Hear.) He believed that the fault of commission in the bill was the monstrous power claimed by the Privy Council. (Hear, hear.) If they con tinued, as he preferred they should, to be represented at the board, the influence which they exercised upon the action of the board should be reduced to the veriest minimum. (Hear.) If they succeeded in getting the board constituted as it should be, the board ought to be able to manage the affairs of the pre fession without interference from Government. (Hear.) That, then, brought him to anetb er great blot of the bill—the fault of omission as distin guished from that he had just adverted to—the fault commission. That fault was that the Liberal Govern ment should have left out of consideration altogether the long cherished wish of the profession to be represented directly upon the Council. A clause had been introduced into the bill by a kind of side wind, vesting a power in the Council to over-rule the examiners in giving degrees, and this he strongly deprecated. It was also proposed that gentle. men who had obtained colonial and other degrees should be enabled to practice in Great Britain without passing through another examination ; but if it were allowed it would open the door to an immense abuse. If they could not obtain at the present time a satisfactory bill he would advise them to wait for a future opportunity of realising their desires. (Applause.) Dr. HUSBAND (York) , proposed the first resolution, which was as follows : That the members of the British Medical Association tender their thanks to her Majesty's Government for the bill which they proposed to introduce." Dr. LEE (London) seconded the resolution. Dr. SOUTHAM (Manchester) proposed, and Professor HAUGHTON seconded a resolution, proposing the addition of the following words to the resolution :—" That this meeting is_ of opinion that there should be a single exam ing board for the entire kingdom, instead of three boards for the three different parts of the kingdom." The resolution, as amended by Dr. Southam, was eventually carried by a considerable majority. Dr. WATERS (Chester) proposed—" That this meeting views with regret and disappointment the entire absence of the claims of the profession to direct representation on the Medical Council, and pledges itself to exercise every constitutional means to secure this vital and all important principle in any measure of medical reform that may be come law." . . Dr. STEWART seconded the resolution, which was also carried unanimously. Mr. ROGER HARRISON proposed the third resolution, which had reference to what the President designated the sin of commission, and was as follows :---`That this meeting of the British Medical Association offers its deter. mined opposition to any bill which gives to the Privy Council more extended control over the medical profession than that given to it by the Medical Act of 1858." Dr. HALL seconded the resolution, which, on being submitted to the meeting, was carried without dissent. _ A vote of thanks to the president terminated the pro ceedings. ALLEGED ROBBERY OF A CART AND VALUABLE CON TENTS.—Robert Lozlge, a carman, living in Bethnal Green ; William Muggeridge, a porter in the City ; Thomas Lodge, who lives in Finsbury ; and Samuel. Edmund Coombs, barman at a public-house in the Curtain road, Shoreditch, have been charged at the Greenwich police court with being in possession of a horse and cart, containing a large quantity of stolen property. Robert Lodge said he had been employed by two men to bring the cart from a court in Shoreditch, but he did not know where the men were to be found. The prisoners had only accompanied him for a ride. The packages in the cart were found to contain elastic material, cashmere cloth, and canvass for bootmaking, and the police stated that a quantity of property . of this description had been stolen from a shop in Shoreditch. The men were all remanded. CHASTISING A CONSUL —At the Liverpool police-court, Mr. John de Costa, a shipping master, was summoned for threatening to " chastise " Mr. Dudley, the American Consul at Liverpool, and was bound over to keep the peace for siv months. The defendant appears to have been exasperated by . a refusal on the part of Mr. Dudley to grant him certain facilities for the despatch of his business. [ADVELLTISEMENT:j—iIoIIoWny'S Pills. --Easy Digestion.— Anyone distracted with that demon of discomfort bad digestion, should send for a box of these Pills, round which are wrapped brief, sagacious, and practicable instructions for removing dyspepsia. These admirable Pills cannot he too highly ap preciated for the wholesome power they exert over all dis orders of the stomach, liver, kidneys, and bowels. They in stantaneously relieve and steadily work out a thorough cure, and in their course dispel headaches, biliousness, flatulency, and depression of spirits. It is wonderful to watch the daily improvement of the complexion as Holloway's Pills purify the blood and restore plumpness to the face which had lost both flesh and colour. These pills combine every excel lence desirable in a family remedy. PRICE STAMPED-- ...Id. ~.2d. COMPLAINTS FROM EMIGRANTS. At the Mansion House yesterday, the Lord Mayor called the attention of the reporters to a communication he had received from some emigrants who had been sent to Omaha, in the United States, through the American Emigration Agency in London, and who complained that the prospects that had been held out to them had not been realised. He proposed to hand the communication to Captain Fisher, the emigration agent for the port of London, who happened to be present, for him to take such measures as might be necessary. The letter was then handed to Captain Fisher. It was signed Thomas Attry, and dated Nebraska, United States, the 23rd of April, 1870. It was written on behalf of some emigrants whose signatures were en closed on a separate piece of paper, and it stated that they were only able to obtain wages sufficient to pay for their board and lodging. The signatures were not very numerous, there being only nine or ten. THE GREEK BRIGANDS, LIKEWISE THE ITALIAN.
