"OUP OCEAN HIGHWAYS" AND ITS MONTHLY SUPPLEMENT, EASTER EGGS.—The coutincntAl custom of offering Eggs to Friends at Easter having been recently introduced in fashionable circles in England, E.

Hence the bill would be closefy scrutinised by those who designed to embark in this industry, which might be secured beyond repeal by fixing a time.

Incorporated with "THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES." The mission which " Our Ocean Highways" has to achiev6 is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a means, in the, simplest and readiest of forms, that of tho alphabet, to fincV, 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 Continental Journals have encouraged and sympathized with the move ment, which is international, and made in the best interests of all countries. _ . _ Up to yesterday afternoon it /seemed certain that Count Darn had resigned the seals of the French Foreign Office, but not equally sure thatthe Emperor had accepted his resignation. He was on the Ministerial b ench in the Chamber on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the most general belief seems to be that he has determined to follow his colleague, M. Buffet. The Liberte, how ever, observes that Count Daru would remain in the Cabinet on condition that the Emperor would consent to certain modifications in the : plebiscite scheme. At that time it seemed doubtful what would be-the result. It is certain, says the Libere, that Count Daru will not accept the scheme as at present insisted upon by the Emperor. Yesterday M. 011ivier asked the Legislative Body to ligilbtfraftollay until after the plebiscite, which takes place on the Ist or Bth of May, according to the vote of the Senate. E.

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 Com mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the E iitor'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 in 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, Physicians, Banks, Managers and London Correspondents, Chief Merchants, Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News papers and Editot s, Hotels and Proprietors ; in short, no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility. Our Ocean Highways" Monthly Supplement, incorpo rated with the " Anglo-American Times," the leading organ of America in Europe, is essentially for the use of passengers by our great Ocean Steamship Companies. Each number of the Supplement and each bi-monthly number of "The Anglo- American Times " will contain, in addition to a Ports' Rail way and Steamers Summary, a Skeleton Tour, taking the traveller from the steamer, on his arrival in port, to some one of the great European centres, guiding him on his way and ensuring his comfort at the most eligible hotels. These Supplements accompany the passengers in the hornewatd bound steamers, provision having been made for the Agents of the respective Steamship Companies regularly receiving them for distribution at all foreign ports.

GAMBLING AT NICE. lilted, One who nas just returned from Nice writes as follows to a contemporary ;—" The proximity of Monaco to Nice is far less pernicious to English visitors than the cancer within its own bosom, which exists in the gambling room of the club in the Place Massena. Most visitors to Nice go to Monaco as a matter of curiosity ; they usually carry with them a certain sum for a venture; there is no inducement held out or any persuasion to play advanced to anyone.. If youths put their money on the table, it is indignantly pushed off by the croupier ; and last, but not least, the game is strictly one of chance, and no one will for a moment question the fair ness with which it is conducted. Moreover, the last train from Monaco leaves at about 11p.m., at which time there is a general departure, and at a reasonable hour the rooms are closed. It is after the return to Nice that the mischief begins. It is then that the fatal Club does its work. Men who have lost at Monaco return to their hotels, not to retire to rest, as they otherwise would have done, but to obtain fresh supplies of money, and start, in spite of all remonstrance, to the Club, in the delusive hope of winning back their losses. It is impossible to speak too strongly in condemnation of the disgraceful and degrading principle of causing money to be lent through the waiters, yet some of these waiters do not hesitate to hint to their intimates the existence of a worse practicee in the well-mirrored play-room—one from which Monaco is at least free. It is pitiable to see the large amounts ruthlessly taken (I cannot say "won ") from beardless youths by men who may be almost called professional players,. so persistently do they attend the room night after night. Men with " one foot in the grave " totter, or are led into the room to gamble, perhaps till four or five, or even later, in the morning, with excited and infatuated young men, who are enticed to waste their own money and pledge the honour of their families for this horrible vice. Attendant, of course, upon the borrowing and lending to which I have alluded are all the evils of usury. A bill for one thousand pounds may, on an occasion of high excitement, be obtained for about as many francs.., If the clebholders d not soon alter their rules by limiting the stakes to some reasonable amount, and by fixing the time for closing at a reasonable hour. the consequences ,inust disastrous." range. nd 1 Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., STERN NECESSITY.

A PAWNIMORING CAsz.—A pawnbroker named Ball has been summoned at Bow-street for refusing to deliver up goods pledged with him which had been previously ob tained by false pretenees. M. Benoit, a dealer in curio sities in Paris, said that a clock and candelabra, value £l6O, had been obtained from him by De Cissy, who was recently sentenced at the Old Bailey to five years' penal servitude for obtaining goods by false pretences. The property had been pledged with Mr. Ball for £7O, and the summons was to obtain it. It was urged for the defendant that he had been deceived by De Cissy. The magistrate thought the loss should be equally divided, and directed that the property should be delivered up on payment of £35.

Chadwicks, Adamson, Collier, and Co. beg to announce that upwards of $3,000,000 having been privately subscribed, • they are authorised to offer to• the public $1,300,000, the balance of these Bonds, bearing 8 per cent. interest at the price of 93 in American currency, and have arranged to secure the payment of the interest in cash in London, to all who on purchasing now prefer it, at the rate of 71 per cent. per annum on the purchase price. Each Bond of $l,OOO bearing 8 per cent. interest in American currency will be sold for £l7B 2s. 6d., and if specified in the application the interest will be made payable in cash in London, at the rate of £6 13s. Bd. every half year, being at tha rate of 71 per cent. per annum. These Bonds are thug made a First Class Laud Secured Railway Bond, bearing 71 per cent. interest on the cost price payable in London free of all charges and free of American Income Tax. The Bonds are a First Mortgage on 85 miles of Railroad, from Des Moines to Fort Dodge, of which 77 are already completed ; on 365,000 acres of and or thereabouts in the State of lowa, already parcelled out.end granted by the State to the Railway Company, and on 100,000 acres of land granted by the State to the Rail way Company, on condi Lion of the completion of the Railway by the running of trains into Fort Dodge before the end of the year 1870 ; and are a Second Mortgage on 162 miles of railroad from Keokuk to Des Moines. The Terms of Repayment are at par on the lst October, 1898, or at any time by optional purchase by the Company at market value not exceeding 120 per cent, by means or the proceeds of sale of surplus lands, or by drawings from time to time at 120 per cent., so often as $50,000 shall be in the hands of the Trustees of the Deed from the same soutces. The numbers of the Bonds drawn for payment are to be ad vertised in New York and London Newspapers. The Trustees have power in the event of default being made for six mouths in payment of the interest to foreclose and sell the property after three months' notice. The Bondholders are privileged to purchase any of the surplus lands comps ised in the security at a minimum price, fixed by the Company and the Trustees, and the bonds or coupons are receivable in payment at their par value. The title to these lands is derived by direct patent from the United States Government to the State of lowa, and conveyance from the State to the Railway Company for railway purposes. The present value of these lands is estimated to be from $5 to $lO per acre, and their rapid future increase in value is considered certain. _ The net earnings of the Railroad from its first opening throughout have been sufficient to pay all interest, and the operating expenses have averaged from 50 to 60 per cent. of the gross receipts. The Share Capital of the Company amounts to $3,904,400, which was subscribed for bona fide at par by owners of property and inhabitants of lowa and the adjoining States, and is all paid up.

W.WALDRON, Secretpry PROTECTED INDUSTRIES IN AMERICA. The difficulties of carrying Protection to an ex treme must have been felt by the special Committee on Navigation at Washington on the 14th March. A delegation of iron shipbuilders and machinists, representing every firm but two in the Union, urged a change in the Bills as reported by the Commit tee. The delegation showed that these measures were framed in the interest of wooden sailing ships, which had become obsolete and comparatively use less; the true interest to foster was iron steamships, whereas the drawback was allowed on all the mate rial used by the former, but to the latter only of half that material, and this would place the iron steam ship builders in a worse position than before the passage of the bill. The drawback and bounty for wooden ships would equal a third of their present cost, but on iron sailing ships only a fourth, though wooden ships needed the aid less, being cheaper on the Kennebec than on the Clyde. The iron ship builders asked for an allowance equal to all the duties on imported material used in the construc tion, being a drawback of about $2l per ton on iron sailing vessels, and $33 on iron steamers; also, a limit to be fixed to the period over which these draw backs should run ; urging, too, immediate action on the bills thus amended, as the building contracts for the present year must be made within sixty days, and thousands of mechanics were awaiting the e mployment which would then be offered in the ironworks now comparatively at a stand-still. This latter fact found expression in General GRANT'S Mes sage. No sooner is•one interest satisfied than seve ral others, being thrown out of gear by the measures that industry demanded, begin to creak in working, and call loudly for more oil. The shipowners and merchants want an open market ; the ability to buy the vessels they require where they can get them best and cheapest. The shipbuilders reject this Free-Trade heresy in ships . ; but want all the mate rials, iron, coal, hemp, grease, lumber, paint, lea I, copper, &c., &c., imported free. The manufactur ing and mining interests deny this to the ship builders, saying, that if the materials be not Ame rican, the merchants may as well be permitted to buy their ships on the Clyde and the Elbe ; and thus even the interests protected clash, down to the two of a trade, such as the shipbuilders in iron and the shipbuilders in wood. Meanwhile, the ocean-carrying trade passes away, and is daily more lost to America, for there is an unrepresented interest apart from the manufacturers, though as important as any—we mean the schbol for seamen. The notion is that a mercantile marine can be re vived in a few months by the passage of a law, though modern improvements have changed the character of the ocean-carrying trade, both in the construction and the propulsion of ships, render ing it as costly as it is effective. Mr. JOHN ROACH, of the Morgan Ironworks, spoke like tie practical man ('f sense be is, while he urged 11;s own irate ' rest. After pointing out the great superiority of iron steamers over wooden sailing vessels, and the advantages acquired by England through her early appreciation of the fact, he went on to show that it would require $150,000,000 to replace the old ani comparatively worthless existing tonnage. From two to three years he calculated as the shortest change, the industry must continue to rest on an artificial basis, to exist on the breath of public opinion. The law which creates the - industry, if charged, unmakes it; and the law rests on a public sentiment which will surely change. Wherever one section of a country has to pay for the sup port of an industry worked in another section, and realizes the.fact, an opposition must arise, and the question between them will than hinge on which is the stronger. The proposed bill, however, is to last for ten years from the Ist of July, 1870, and the whole argument turns on whether such a limited period of protection can, as Mr. ROACH seems to think, permanently revive American shipbuilding. If so, the Protectionists are right, and it is unquestionably worth a very heavy expenditure on the part of the community ge nerally, to achieve so desirable an object. At any rate, the PRESIDENT and the Cabinet appear to be strongly impressed with the arguments of the shipbuilders, and the Committee hasagreed to report amendments to the bill as suggeste 1 by the dele gation to which we have alluded, so that beams and forgings will be included in the list of the iron material, and the limit to the amounts of draw backs is to be replaced by a rebate drawback of the duties. In an article on the PRESIDENT'S Special Message, the Times alluded to the ungenerous way in which Americans systematically misrepresent all English dealings with the United States. Hav ing inherited the bad legacy of the Eng i.sh Navica tion Laws, and while forbidding the entry.on the American register of an Engish ship, the Republic had free permission to sell to Englishmen tile yes se's which the war had made comparatively worth less. Of this its merchants so well avai:ed them selves that they got rid at a hill price of what to them had become lumber, and the English ship owners who purchased, lost enormously by the transaction. Yet American statesmen no w accuse England of having selfishly transferred to its own flag, American shipping, after having in a measure created the conditions which forced Americans to sell. There is truth in the remark, just as there is truth which England does not choose to see in the remarks of Americans about those conditions ; the fact being what we have ever maintained, that these nations are ceaselessly engaged in misrepresenting each other, and keeping alive to the injury of both, senseless feelings of spite and dislike. Apropos of Free Trade, an American paper 'exposes what it "_the secret of the rise on steel." alle-novii tariff proposes to convert the ad valorem duty on steel rails to specific, making ittwo cents per pound, or, at present prices, about double. What does this mean? Why such an increase? Last year 40,000 tons of steel rails were imported info the Union, where but 15,000 tons were manufactured ; but the demand is rising, and with it the desire of the home manufacturer to supply it. The reason of the change in the amended tariff is, that next month, the BESSEMER patents expire, when the re sults of the great inventor's skill will be free, and steel will replace iron on the railroads of the world. These rails will then fall to $4O or less per ton, and the ad valorunz duty, with all the other charges combined, would not raise them over $7O in the United States. This was a danger to be avoided,as the foreign article, which would render the roads as lasting, as they would be secure to life and pro perty, must, in such case, replace the " American rail," justly stigmatised as "the vilest trash," and injure an American industry. The strange part of it is that in the Report of the Birmingham Cham ber of Commerce it was admitted that in edged tools and other implements into which steel enters as a principal component, even handicapped by the duty as Americans were, so ecellent are some classes of American manufacture, that they beat Birming ham out of the British Colonial markets. The new tariff, however, is designed to prevent any such illegitimate proceeding in the future ; for, it is evidently the opinion of its framers, that Ame rica should to the best of their ability, be prohi bited from supplying other countries with her manu factures, as should foreign nations be prohibited from supplying America with theirs ; nor should their fellow-citizens be debarred the enjoyment de rivable from that pleasing sensation of danger they experience while travelling along their railroads.— Anglo-American Times. Both the lawyers appointed to the vacancies on the U. S. Supreme Bench bear the highest character, and are considered by the nation at large to be well selected. The fact may be relied on that whatever may be their decision on the Legal-Tender Act, it will be the result of an honest conviction ; and as their judgment and legal know ledge are indisputable, the conclusion at which they arrive will carry great weight. Associate-Justice Strong has been assigned to the Third Judicial District, embracing the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Associate-Justice Bradley will be assigned to the Fifth Judicial District, comprising the States of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. This District has been for some time past attached to the Sixth District, to which Judge Swayne has recently been re assigned. We may add that the Chancellor for New Jersey has decided that a mortgage of a date prior to the passage of the Legal-Tender Act must, if the mortgagee demands it, be paid, the interest as well as principal, in coin. Judge Bradley arrived at Washington, March 22, and took Iris seat next morning at 11 o'clock, the Bench being then occupied by the full number allowed by law for the first time during several years. The latest news we have from Richmond (Vir ginia) is to the 22nd March, when Mayor Ellison and his police were in possession of the city, though not without bloodshed. On the night of the 22nd the town was tran quil, patrolled by Ellison's police. Mayor Cahoon had held the station-house with forty men, aided by a crowd of negroes. On the 20th Ellison sent a force to clear rson -street, which the crowd blocked up; but the negroes fired upon them, and Richard Bush was killed on the spot and Captain William Knox wounded. The police returned the fire, and drove the negroes away. For the shooting of Ben Scott, Jack Wren surrendered, and was bailed. Between Governor Walker and General Canby a sharp correspondence ensued. The Governor, after re citing the circumstances, asked by what law or authority General Canby interfered. The General repli..d that his object was to prevent a breach of the - peace, and his authcrity was the President and the Secretary of War The Governor paraded all the Acts of Congress to show that the military had no right to meddle in municipal affairs unless called on by the Legislature or State authorities ; neither the President nor the Secretary for War having the power to authorise interference. In New York, he hints, no military officer would have dared to interfere; nor should they in Virginia. The General concedes the Governor's position relative to law, but maintains ho wal authorised by his instructions to interpose, and contends that the interference was necessary. In the Ilous3 a re solution of censure on the General was reported, but not acted on. MayorCahoon had moved for an injunction, which was to be _heard . on, the 2.1 d March, before . Judge Under wood. SMALLPDX RIOTS IN BERKS.— Great excitement has prevailed in Berkshire with respect to what are known as the smallpox riots. A house at Waltham, intended for the reception of smallpox patients, was attacked, and partly destroyed by a mob. The house was prepared as a temporary hospital in consequence of a case of smallpox having appeared in the town, and as this excited great dissatisfaction in the neighbourhood, a kind of riot took ' place, and the house was attacked, and very much injured. , Several men were apprehended for being concerned in the k . riot. At their trial the counsel for the defence submitted that there was no evidence to prove tho defendants had done the damage. They had only made a legitimate demonstration against the erection of a pest house. The magistrates thought there was not sufficient evidence to ' establish the case and dismissed the defendants. , IMPORTANT TO TRUSTEES.—An important ju d gment has been delivered by Mr. Serjeant Wheeler, Q.C., in the Liverpool County Court with resp ec t t o th e liability of trustees. An action Was brought against the trustees of the Liverpool Tontine Society to recover £lOB ab stracted by a co-trustee who had absconded. In Decem ber last the three trustees attended at the bank to draw out a sum for the payment of the annual divi dends. By some mistake £lO in excess of the proper amount was drawn, and the defaulter, whose name is Cabain, said " Let it pass for the present." He subse quently decamped with the whole £lOB, and as his co- • trustees had condoned the irregularity they were held liable. THE HEREFORDSHIRE SCANDAL OASE.—On the resump tion of the hearing of this case, the Rev. Mr. Jackson, the defendant was called and said he was rector of Ledbury, Herefordshire. He took orders in 1840, and went to Ledbury in 1860. He had officiated at three places, and effected an exchange as to his present living through the present Bishop of London: He was married in 1845. In 1867 the woman Elizabeth Parry was living in his service as cook. Lane was also in his service. Mrs. Jackson arranged that the girl Lane should come, but he did not like it, as she had a very bold appearance. He was certain that the mattrass was removed from the apple-room on the Ist of October. There was not the slightest truth in tim statement of the woman Parry of any intimacy with her on any occasion. No part of her statement was true. Witness positively denied any familiarity with the girl Lane, and denied that he had ever kissed her. BURNING HAY AND CORN.—A man has been sentenced to five years' penal servitude at Killarney for burning a quantity of hay and corn in the county of Kerry. COMMITTAL FOR ALLEGED FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY.— At the Derby Police Court Daniel O'Connor, an elastic web manufacturer, has been committed on charge of I defrauding his creditors. Some short time since the pri soner absconded, taking with him a large sum of money which belonged to his creditors. He was pursued and captured in France, with about £2,600 in his posses sion. Great interest was manifested in the proceedings, this being the first prosecution under the new law. Evidence was adduced of the prisoner's bankruptcy, and of his being indebted in large sums to various manufac turers, also of his having overdrawn his account at the Derby Commercial Banks. The prisoner had had exten sive commercial transactions with firms in Derby, Liver pool, Manchester, and other large towns. At the conclu mon of the case the bench committed him for trial, but ' admitted him to bail in the sum of £2,000, the chairman remarking that the charge was a very grave and ijp portant one. THE SOCIETY FOR SECURING THE !OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S DAY.—A solicitor has made an application to Mr. D'Eyrc?urt at Marylebone, for a summons against Mr. Bee Wright and Mr. John Julian Jackson, two persons connected with the Society for -Securing the Proper Ob servance of the Lord's Day, on the ground that they went about on the Lord's Day getting up cases, and thus in fringing the act. Mr. D'Eyncourt asked for proof that they were paid. The solicitor said they re ceived 10s. a day on Sunday, and ss. after every conviction. He had several witnesses t o prove it. Mr. D'Eyncourt said if the matter was to be so stretched a policeman could not follow his calling on Sunday.. He must decline to grant the summons, but if the applicant were really in earnest, he could get one through the Queen's Bench. JEWEL ROBBERY.—Three persons have been charged thee at t h r M o b a b r e y r l y e b f r o o n m e M P o r I Lazarusc e- c o r t with One o being m concerned in been tamale servant in the family of Mr. Lazarus, and was believed to have been the chief person in the theft. Another of the prisoners was a woman. They were all remanded. A LiAS VISTITTE.—rue secretary or me rnoenix tias Company has been summoned at Southwark for refusing to supply Mr. Pouter with gas. The complainant had taken a house in the Blackfriars-road, and wished to open a shop, but the company refused to put the gas on unless lie paid £l6 arrears due by the previous tenant. He re fused to do this, but offered £5 deposit. The company said that Mr. Pouter had let the house to the previous tenant, who had absconded, and he had not given them notice of a change in the tenancy. The magistrate held that the company were in the wrong, and directed them to supply the gas on the payment of security, and to try the question of arrears in the County Court. AN ILLICIT STILL.—An illicit still, with a large quantity of spirits in process of distillation, was discovered at Armley, in Yorkshire, a day or two since. The keeper cf it, a man named Thomas Holt, was apprehended. and, on being taken before the magistrates, was fined £3O, anti in default sept to gaol for three months. • Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., BRAVE LADY.
