W The mission which "Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a means, in the simplest and readiest of forms, that of the alphabet, to find their way, safely and easily, over the whole world. The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870, is a guarantee for the future. The whole British Press have applauded the enterprise; many American and .Continelital Journals have encouraged and sympathized with the move ment, which is international, and made in the best interests of all countries. The host of elaborate special Handbooks and Guides which abound at the Railway Stations give many minute details to which a condensed Gazetteer of the World, in a moderate-sized volume, cannot lay claim. But what it does claim is, that it contains every necessary particle of Tra velling and Commercial information, derived from the best and original sources. It is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the great Ocean Steamship Companies, and many eminent Coin mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the E dtor's• application to forward Printed Forms of Ques tions to their Correspondents and Agents all over the globe for reply. Many of the home and continental ports have already sent in the requisite information ; those more remote will all be in time to have the latest authentic intelligence inserted in the next annual volume, which will be published on the Ist of December next, so as to be received and utilised by the Ist day of the New-year iu almost every part and city of the globe. It will embody au amount of topographical, statistical, commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition will be a FOREIGN PORTS' DIRECTORY, containing the names of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Con suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Phisiciatte, 13 41 3 1% Matragers - nett= to don — li Chief Merchinis, Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News papers and Editors, Hotels and Proprietors; in short, no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility.

WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. fhe question whether women shall or shall not have votesis evidently one which ought not, in Mr. Disraeli's phrase, `*to decide the fate of Ministries." The divi sion of Wednesday afternoon was a complete scramble. The greater part of those who voted for the second reading of the Women's Disabilities Bill were un doubtedly Liberals; but the proportion of Conserva tives was very respectable. The highly anti innovation names of Amphlett, Bateson, Birley, Broderick, Charley, C abitt, Dawson, Eastwick, Figgins, Dimsdale, and many more, all occur in the list of those who went with Mr. Jacob Bright and his fellow Radicals. The Noes are similarly divided. Most of them are Conservatives, but a large number of Liberals are also to be found, including Mr. Bruce and Mr. W. H. Glad stone. The Solicitor-General went in favour of the measure. For the Standard to complain as it does that the bill passed the second reading through the weakness of the Government is the grossest unfair ness. Party lines were altogether obliterated. Indeed, there is every reason why the Con servatives should support such a measure, for it is likely that most women will prove Conservatives. In addition to the 124 and two tellers who voted in favour of the bill, eleven members paired for it, making the total number 137. In addition, twenty nine representatives who are pledged to wo men's suffrage were absent altogether, making a grand total of 106. LORD CLARENDON AND THE EGYPTIAN LOAN. A . v ery brief correspondence has passed between the Ottoman Embassy and the Foreign Office with respect to the loan contracted by the Khedive. The Sultan, warned by past experience, is determined not to let his ambi tious vassal improve his position in Europe, and has accordingly protested beforehand against any finan cial arrangement which the Porte has not previously authorised, and which would affect directly or indi rectly the revenues of Egypt, or be prejudicial to the rights which the public treasury of Egypt has over the private fortune of the Khedive, on account of the management of the finances of the province. Lord Clarendon's reply is a perfectly safe com position. Her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs acknow ledges the receipt of the communication from Musurus Pasha, and contents himself with a simple paraphrase of the document so received. It is evident. that Lord Clarendon does not want to evoke another Eastern question, and equally evident that the Porte is quite ready to do anything rather than allow itself to be superseded by its ambitious and enterprising vassal. NEW ZEALAND POLICY. Sir C. B. Adderley, Under-Secretary for the Colo nies in the last Conservative Government, supports the New Zealand policy of the present Ministry. To the plea that the war in New Zealand—such as it is —was inflicted on the colonists by tie Home Government, he answers that the Govern ment of New Zealand, just as much as the Ministry in England, opened the policy which issued in the. wars. " Now that New Zealand has complete self-government, can it throw the expenses incurred by its former Crown Government upon the taxpayers of England, merely because they are under the same Crown ; or will these claimants propose to revive the exploded form of government and for the sake of the cost give back the freedom ?" There is no hope, in the opinion of Sir C. B. Adder ley, that the war could bo finished by regular troops. from England. Even if those troops were restricted to garrison duty, their interference must go to keep up the contest. The best surety for peace is the burden of war; let the colonists, therefore, bear it. CATHOLIC LOTTERIES. The members of the Scottish Reformation Society having been lately a good deal perturbed about Catholic lotteries, have done as most other malcontents do, and carried their grievances to the Government. Unlike many such ap plicants, however, they have succeeded in carrying their object, at least to a certain extent, though it has required the full exercise of their national characteristics of energy and perseverance to do so. Six letters of varying length, one of them with a formidable enclosure, have been rained upon the Home Office, until Mr. Liddell gave way, and recog nising that a Scottish Reformation Society was an unconquerable antagonist, agreed to grant their wishes. Setting aside the national religious prejudice, which probably had something to do with the extreme dislike and apprehension ex hibited by these gentlemen with respect to Catholic lotteries, there is no doubt they have reason as well as law on their side. The mischievous effects of the lottery system are painfully apparent on the Continent, where such things are openly tolerated, and the facts brought forward by the Scottish Society prove that it is becoming in some measure established among ourselves. It is, therefore, in every way desira ble that it should be checked, and Mr. Liddell has only observed the law, in giving notice to the projectors of such entertain ments that they cannot be sanctioned or even tolerated. IRISH PROTESTANTS ON PRIMARY EDUCATION. A deputation, specially authorised to represent the views of a large portion of the Protestant population of Ireland, attended a special meeting of the London Council of the National Education League on Wednesday evening. The Rev. J. E. Berkeley, who was the spokesman, said that the objects of the Irish Education League were to support non sectarian education in Ireland, to further develops the non-sectarian principle, and to oppose any change in the existing national system interfering with that principle. lt was feared, he said, that, through the o pposing . influences of sections of the Protestant com munities and of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, a strenuous effort was about to be made for the purpose of destroying the national system as a united and non-sectarian organisation, and of substituting for it a scheme of denomi national grants from the public funds, .to be administered under the direc tion of the authorities of each separate Church for the erection and mainte nance of purely sectarian schools. What was advo cated by those he represented was that religious in struction should be given an hour before or after the ordinary school business of the day, and that a time-table to that effect should be read. The League was desirous of co-operating with those who were labouring to extend the Irish principle to the other portions of the British Empire, and it looked to them for co-operation in the struggle impending in Ireland for education free from the trammels of creed and sect. Mr. Fawcett, M.P., wished. to point out that a very insedious proposal had been made in the Uni versity Tests Bill introduced by the Government, and to warn the gentlemen from Ireland that if that THE PROTESTANT CHURCH IN IRELAND. The Archbishops have sanctioned an appeal for funds to maintain the Disestablished Church in Ire land in its future state, and the appeal has accordingly been issued by the Representative Bcdy. They set forth the yearly income of the clergy at about 400,000. The value of commutation—assuming that the clergy will commute, which, however, is by no means certain—is about five millions and three quarters, which would produce about £200,000 a year. In order, therefore, to preserve this fund untouched, it will be necessary to earn £230,000 ayear, and the Representative Body urgethat besides these subscriptions there ought to be a fund of one million created by donations. In order to raise this amount they recommend the adoption of a rate of two per cent., or a tax of less than fivepence in the pound. This is equivalent to a week's wages on the yearly income of a working man. Whether the fund will prosper remains to be seen. It is thought by many that the " heterodox" opinions of Archbishop Trench will have a prejudi ' vial effect. PROPOSED REVISION OF THE SCRIPTURES. The Daily News complains loudly of the action of the bishops with respect to the revision of the Eng lish bible. It is proposed to place that great work in the hands of Convocation, acting through a com mittee of its members. "We warn them, with all the respect due to their official characters, that for the performance of a great national work Convocation is not a body to command the confidence of the nation. The co operation needful for such a purpose is not to be obtained on such terms as tliti imagine, and if it were, the English people are no prepared to accept a revised Bible from any one Church or religions society. A. work claiming to be national must be accomplished by national autho rity." The Bishop of Winchester thinks revision by a Royal Commission impossible. Better let the matter rest then. THE MEDICAL EDUCATION OF WOMEN. The comments on the recent address of Professor Laycock, at the Edinburgh University Council, has called up the professor in self-defence. What he really desired to enforce upon his hearers, as he said when opening his summer class at the Edinburgh Infirmary on Tuesday, was that there were possibilities in the future that might render necessary " such an unpleasant, dangerous and delicate proceeding" as that of in quiry into the moral character of ladies who may attend the university as medical stu dents. He says he never intimated that the possibility had yet become a reality. He spoke only of what might be in futuro. He maintains that in the event of " the other sex " being admitted unrestrictedly from all parts of the world, and at the age of from sixteen to twenty-two, "then for the male students, at least, there wouldbe other conceivable obj ects than study, and possibly for some of the females." He quoted an eminent member of the profession who wrote to him, saying, that while feeling strongly the necessity in these times of obtaining suitable occupa tion for women, he at the same time insists that of all pursuits those that involve " the questions of sex are to both sexes the must objectionable." They are more than objectionable. " They are repulsive." Professor Laycock on these and other grounds told his hearers the other day that " The ladies must really keep away from your clinical wards : otherwise we cannot teach or be taught fully," as they will "hinder the most serious work for which we meet." AN INTERESTING BATCH OF EMIGRANTS. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided over a meeting at the Refuge for Homeless and Destitute Boys, when the committee formally took leave of sixty-five lads bound for Canada. The chairman began the proceedings by inspecting the _ "kit" of,. one of the boys. Each wore a strong working suit of corduroy, and had in a long waterproof bag, of about the shape and size of a bolster, a Sun day suit, with three cotton shirts, a pair of thick-soled half-wellington boots to be worn in field work, and other necessaries, which will enable the youngsters to keep a decent appearance until they are in a position to pay for their clothing. It appeared from the statement of the secretary that this was the parent of two similar institutions formed for the purpose of gathering homeless boys from the streets and training them to habits of industry. They had now upwards of 440 boys, and the committee had resolved to try this year to send out 100 to the colonies. Those now going out were chosen on account of their uniform good conduct since they had been in the refuge. The cost of sending each one would, it appears, be more than ten pounds. CIVILISED PLEASURES. The Prince and the Princess of Wales attended a conversazione given by the Society of Arts on Wed nesday evening. The affair was a great success. That is, there was no moving, breathing, or eating to be done upon any terms. The refreshment room was a scene of vain scrambles. The various courts and galleries were chaotic conglomerations of suffering humanity. The ladies' trains were mostly torn, their dresses crushed and mangled. Here were half a dozen members of Parliament helplessly whirled about. There was the American Minister vainly imploring some one to shew him the way to his carriage. Yonder a bishop and two eminent deans did unclerical battle for life. Nothing could be in better style, though a party of Hindoos who were present seemed thoroughly amazed at the way in which pleasure is taken in England. GEORGE ELIOT'S NEW POEM. George Eliot has contributed to Macmillan of the current month a new poem entitled " The Legend of Jubal." The title of the poem almost conveys an idea of the character of the work, especially in the hands of such a sweet ginger as George Eliot. Jubal, the musician, one of the sons of Cain, desires to work before the night comes on. He therefore makes a lyre, and goes amongst the tribes and teaches music. In a while the earth is so full of the things of his making that he determines to seek the mountains. He travels, making new songs on the way until he sights the ocean, and here is the period when the poem culminates in the highest effort of the poet. New voices come to him, from the " panting sea which sobs as if it stored all life to be": " But song grows weaker and the heart must break For lack of voice or fingers that can make The lyre's full answer : nay, these chords would be Too poor to speak the gathering mystery. The former songs seem little, yet no more Can soul, band, voice with interchanging lore - Tell what the earth is saying unto me : The heart is too great, I hear confusedly." THE BETTING QUESTION. "Senex " writes again to the Daily Telegraph, with a view of further refuting Admiral Rous's pro position, that the Jockey Club had never legislated about betting. He instances various meetings of that body from 1842 to 1870, and gives an extract from the report of a meeting held in 1868, when a resolution was passed by the stewards—the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Newcastle, and Admiral ROUS —that "whereas it is expedient the rules of racing, which prohibit defaulters for stak es an d forfeits from entering or running horses, should ex tend to defaulters for bets and to all persons guilty of malpractices on the Turf, it is resolved that no per son of this character shall enter, name, or run any horse for any purpose whatever." "If this is not legislation about betting," says " Seuex " " I should like to know what is." MR. RICHARD TATTERSALL. The death of Mr. Richard Tattersall, the head of the celebrated firm of that name, deserves more than a passing obituary notice, inasmuch as that name is to some extent an historic one. The first Richard Tattersall of whom anything is known was born nearly a_hundred and fifty years ago, when George the first "was king. " Old Tat" had been Vie traimng groom to the puke or liingston, and on the death of that nobleman he esta blished his auction room. In 1799 "Richard Tat tersall, of St. George's-in-the-Fields, -Westminster, gentleman " purchased from Lord Bolingbroke, for L 2,500, the celebrated horse Highflyer, and this purchase was the beginning of his stud farm and his wealth. In gratitude he called the house which he built, in the Isle of Ely, Hightlyer Hall. The first Tattersall died in 1795 at the age of 72, and-with that most rare thing in the horse deal ing world, a high character- not only for in tegrity but benevolence. His son Edmund fol lowed in the footsteps of his father, and in 1810 died, to him succeeding the father of the gentleman whose death is now recorded. The present represen sentative and active manager of the firm, Mr. - Edwin Tattersall, cousin of the deceased, fully sustains the family reputation, and it may be said that the name of Tattersall is only unknown where horse racing is not. THE MASSACRES IN GREECE. It is proposed to raise a fund for the widow and ihild of the late Mr. Lloyd. Several leading Greeks give considerable sums, and the Duke of Hamilton announces that the King of Greece " with that nobleness of character which has so listinguished him during the recent deplorable events in Greece, and feeling most acutely the position in which Mrs. Lloyd has been placed, pre sented that lady with £l,OOO out of his own private tpurse previous to her departure from Athens." he Times announces that , the Greek . .tommunity in England are determined to make most ample provision for Mrs. Lloyd, while at the same time it will be necessary to insist upon the full responsibility of the Greek Government to make every permanent reparation in their power. RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN GREECE. The recent harrowing events in Greece are drawing the dispassionate mind to consider whether the 31assic land may not afford another illustration of the proverb that out of evil cometh good. chat the cause of the barbarism which surrounds the zapital of that country is to a great extent the mise rable state of its highways, has long been felt, and any individual enterprise which may improve this state of things will, there is little doubt, be rewarded by a moral, tf not a great pecuniary, success. Sir E. W. Watkin, to a letter, Niers to the practicability of au extension of railway enterprise in Greece. He says he was one of the small English party who provided the money for making the first railway in Greece from the Piraeus to Athens, and from the Illyssus to the ancient water ing places of Thalerum. He suggests that there should be a cheap railway from Athens to Lake ropolias, with a small steamer placed m the lake, and that five hundred miles - if common roads, with blockhouses at specified. distances connected by telegraph, should be macte diverging from Athens as a centre. The cost of this he estimates at some £600,000, fin which sum, he says, Greece and all its hidden historical treasures, and all its vast mineral and other resources, would be opened up to the world and to industry and capital. The difficult question in Sir Edwin's mind seems to be the old one of who " shall bell the cat." M. ()ELMER ON REACTION. M. 011ivier is very anxious to remove the sus picions which lurk in the public mind. Frenchmen are apprehensive that a pretext will be made of the conspiracy to adopt reactionary measures, and the Prime Minister has seized the opportunity given him by an article in the Moniteur to reassure them on the subject. Read, he says, the accounts of the public meetings now being held in Paris, and then say whether any other Government in Europe would allow such language to be used against it. A.s for reaction, who speaks of it ? The Government has said to the people, "'We will have neither reaction nor revolution, but liberty." No one has replied " Reaction," though some have answered " ReiTolution," but there is no ground for fear. Liberty can be imperilled only if the people receive the plts - with coldness ; but if, as M. 011ivier believes, it is voted by an immense majority, liberty will be irrevocably established under the safeguard of Napo leon. Such, at least, is the opinion of M. Ernie 011ivier. FLOURENS, THE REVOLUTIONIST. M. Gustave Flourens, whose name has been mentioned so prominently in connection with the Paris plot, and who recently fled from France after an attempt to get up an insurrection in Paris, has a remarkable history. Many of the French democrats can boast of adventures, but few have passed such a strange life of revolution abetting. M. Flourens is eldest son to a peer of France, that eminent scholar and teacher at the Sorbonne who maintained that . to reach the limits of human life, which is five times the growth period of man, and therefore a hundred years, periodic recourse should be had neither to the fountain of youth nor to Parr's Invigo rating Pills, but simply to the observance of the good old rule of sober living. His son was first heard of in connec tion with the Polish insurrection of 1863. In the pre ceding year M. Gustave Flourens went over to help the Poles. He was then about four-and-twenty years of age. When he got to Craco* he discovered that the re' volution was one of aristocrats, " nothing but counts and marquises and barons," and he turned his democraticback on it in disgust. In 1863 his father's health failing, he took his place in the College de France and delivered a course of lectures on " the Human Races," which had a great success with the youth of the schools, the boisterous, full-blooded, budding Atheists, but won no favour with the then Ministry of the friends of order. He had to give up lecturing, and came to London in 1864, but passed from this over to Belgium, and mounted the rostrum as political teacher at Brussels and Lidge. He wrote, too, for l'Espiegle and La Rive Gauche. When the insurrection in Crete started M. Flourens immediately started too. He campaigned with the island mountaineers for an entire year, and at its close was sent as one of their deputies to Athens, where he was arrested by order of the Greek Ministry, at the desire of the French Embassy, and deported t o Mar seilles. France soon let him go, and the first use he made of his liberty was to sail for Athens to help on still the cause he had adopted. But the Greek police hunted him with much more assiduity than they hunt brigands, and the cosmopolitan revolutionist soon found it needful to retire. Arrived at Naples on his westward route, he set foot to soil, and commenced writing again, of course in a Republican journal, Il Popolo Italia. Here he contrived to rouse the ire of the authorities by an article inveigh ing against the clerical despotism of the M ena b rea Ministry. Italy accordingly became too hot to hold him. Flourens got home to Paris just at the era when the law on public meetings had come into operation. He became a frequent speaker at the clubs, and made himself notable by the violence of his attacks against the Empire. At Rocheehouart, and again at Belleville, he refused to give way to the commissary of police when the latter declared the assemblies dissolved, and in March 1861 was arrested under a charge of con spring against the security of the State. Brought before the tribunal of Correctional Police, he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment—not for conspiracy, but for verbal attacks against the Empire. No sooner had he got out of prison than he challenged M. Paul de Cassagnac, of the Pays, for insulting the Republicans, his friends. The duel took place, and Flourens who fought most persistently, after receiving two wounds, was much injured. Recovered from his wounds, M. Flourens set himself heart and soul to the advocacy of Rochefort's can didature in the First Circumscription of Paris and when the'Count Victor-Henri became the Deputy , Henri, and started the Marseillaise. he joined his staff, and inaugu rated a new feature in journalism, la tribune militaire a de partment into which the troops might drop their com plaints against their officers as into a poor box, and they were sure to be thankfully - received. When Victor Noir was buried, Flourens tried to get up an insurrection. When Rochefort was arrested he tried again. For this offence he had to fly, and has since resided in London.

Such was the man ; when he spoke his voice was clear, unhesitating, and musical, and his manner i n p er f ec t k ee ying with look and voice, unreserved, manly, modest, We spoke with him — of revolutions, assassination, treasons, and stratagems ? No ; we came solely to see the man, to take his portrait and his mental measures We would be unjust to him if we did not confess he im pressed ms as an honest enthusiast, unconscious of fear and incapable of falsehood, but evidently of temperament most sanguine and imbued with a blind devotedness to Ora extremest of political theories.".
