No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry since the completion of the great Aviadero edit of the Real del Monte Company. Ore yielding only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The result therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton, cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 4s. per ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost incurred by that company for drainage, a profit of £2,411,500 to that period was made.

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

The scheme bas met with great success, and any loving parent, having a use for such a welcome teacher in the family, cannot complain when the entire cost of the packet is only One Shilling."—The Primitive Methodist Advocate.

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.

Of what use can a commission be which sits three years ; and yet returns no report ? Mr. Kavanagh, describes the history of this Irish Education Commis sion :—" That commission, proposed by Lord Derby's Administration, August 5, 1867, th oug h o bj ec t e d to as unnecessary by leading Liberals, was not opposed, on the distinct pledge, given by Lord Naas, that the Government would be able to lay the opinion of that commission before the House at the commencement of next Aession.' It was not appointed, however, till the 14th of January, 1868, the royal letter con stituting the commission prescribing fourteen months from that date for making the inquiry and report. February, 1868, passed, and no report; March, 1869, passed, and no report; and now, near the middle of May, 1870, the Commission is still sitting—the crown, Parliament, and the people knowing nothing tho myaijin - u - rs pruueetliugm of tiim gvntleitivzi save the enormous item of their expenses in the Civil Service Estimates, under the mis-description of temporary commissions.' " The education question may well be difficult when inquiring bodies waste the time of the nation in this way. Or course the Commission is spending money, if it is doing nothing else. It was to have cost £1,400; it has already spent £8,905. The Contest at Mallow. The Liberal candidate has triumphed at Mallow by eight votes. The Times' correspondent attaches much importance to this election. In the first place, it seems to show that Mallow is pledged to Liberalism, for after repeated trials the Liberal voters have come off triumphant. Major Knox maintained the contest under most favourable circumstances, being the adopted champion of the Conservatives, while pre senting a political programme of an advanced " National" policy going beyond what Mr. Waters could accept. Thus his failure will be a blow to the Tory-Repeal party, and the moral effect of the election will be of far greater value to the Ministry than the simple retention of a single seat. The Longford Nomination. The speeches at the nomination of candidates for Longford were of an ,amusing, as well as a significant character. For many years the representation of the county Longford has been in the bands of the Greville family, and all the efforts of other candidates at elections have failed to turn success in an opposite direction. A magistrate , who seconded Mr. George Greville on Tuesday, referred to some particulars which served to shew the strategems, which, it is alleged, were necessary, were practised in the interest of outside candidates. He said he could not omit mentioning the acts of Lady Ross, the grandmother of Mr. Harman, which were fresh in the memory of many present. From her hatred to the Catholic religion and to Catho lics, and with a view of securing to her grandson the peaceable and undisturbed re presentation of the county, that lady was sup posed during her long lifetime to have banished from her estates 10,000 human beings, and this she did in order to vest in her successor the power she possessed of returning whom she wished as the repre sentatives of the county Longford. Captain Harman did not allow this attack on his relative to pass unnoticed. He accordingly rose from his seat, and, without giving a direct contradiction to that allega tion, declared that none of his ancestors had hung a number of rebels in 1798, as a certain member of the noble house of Greville had done opposite his own gate-house, in Ballinamuck. Captain Harman's retort was received with loud cheers, and, as has been already stated, the show of hands resulted in his favour. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. The Earl and the Countess of Spencer appear to have had pleasant recollections of their lengthened tour last year in the north-western provinces of Ire land, inasmuch as they have just set out upon a second tour in Fermanagh, Sligo, Monaghan, and Galway. Their Excellencies reached Enniskillen on Tuesday, where apartments had previously been taken at an hotel on the banks of the romantic Lough Erne. From this the Viceregal party intended to proceed to Belleek, to Pee the potteries, and thence to Bunndora, one of the finest watering-places in the west. It is somewhat gratifying to know that the head of the Government in Ireland is enabled to become a tourist, without fear of danger or troublesome mo lestation at a time when so many tales of outrage and discontent reach E ng l an d f rom th e s i ster i s l an d . The Amended Wine and Beerhouse Act. Sir Henry Ibbetson's bill to amend and con tinue the Wine and Beerhouse Act of last year, has been printed. The provisions, which are only intended to extend to England, have been passed chiefly with a view of mak ing more stringent the regulations under which licenses are granted, and beerhouses allowed to be kept open. One of the chief clauses of the new mea sure directs that all shops which by the 1869 Act should not be open within certain hours for the sale of fermented liquor, shall likewise not be open for the sale of any other article whatsoever during the pro hibited hours. The Chancery Appeal. It appears that serious inconvenience is caused to The Wicklow Peerage Claims. Mrs. Howard declares that she is delayed in the prosecution of her case, with respect to the claims of her son, partly by want of means, but chiefly by her inability to obtain a printed copy of the judgment given by the Lords' Committee for Privileges in April last. Mrs. Howard complains that the non surrender of the decision is unfair and unjust to her, and she denies the accuracy of the statement that any of her witnesses have as yet received compensation from the House of Lords. The New Irish Church. The agitation among the churchmen in Ireland with respect to the tendencies to ritualistic practices, alleged to have been already manifested by members of the Church governing body, has become very serious, and now not only the " Manual of Short Prayers," but also phrases in the Book of Common Prayer itself, are condemned. Several meetings of indignant parishioners, finding that "certain expres sions in the prayer book are capable of being distorted by Ritualists for the purposes oftheir doc trines," have resolved to pay all subscriptions for the maintenance of their respective churches to trustees and not •to the representative authorities, unless certain rules and canons in the existing Prayer-book are altered. Much painful controversy has arisen on account of the differences among those who are anxious to remodel a substantial and independent Church establishment; and the ecclesiastics who have had the temerity at • the present juncture to exhibit partiality for observances objected to, are meeting with much grave and apparently just censure. The New Church in Jamaica. The advocates of disestablishment have an oppor tunity of testing the validity of their principles in an English dependency. The Church of Jamaica was lately disestablished, but, unfortunately, . the separation between Church and State has not removed all cause of difference. A Synod has been convened, at which the representatiyes of the laity were selected by the clergy, and the Governor of the island, Sir J. P. Grant, refused, in consequence, to make over the property of the Church to it. He holds that the transfer can be made only to nominees of the whole of the churchmen in the island, and a correspondence has passed between him and the Bishop of Kingston on the subject. The governor has now arrived in this country, and among the passengers by the same ship were two clergymen from Jamaica, whose object in visiting this country is said to be to procure assistance for the disestablished Church. As the matter now stands, it would seem that if the dispute between the civil and ecclesiastical authority could be adjusted, there would be less occasion for an ad misericordianz plea. The Voluntary Principle. It has often been said that religious communities prosper better when totally dependent on the voluntary donations of their Members than when they rely on enforced and unwil ling contributions. The experience of the Abbey Road Chapel, at St. John's Wood, would seem to confirm this opinion. An anniversary festival was held a day or two since, at which the accounts of the several charities connected with the chapel chewed liberalsubscriptions. The Rev. Mr. Stott, the minister, appealed for assistance in diminishing the debt, and was answered by donations amounting to more than MO. What was more, the payment of interest ort the remaining portion of the debt—£2,ooo--was un dertaken by some members of the congregation present, so that Mr. Stott has good reason to hope that his debt will not trouble him much longer. A Word of Warning. corresponaenu auvrdes:unosu wno may mailer to have sons inclined to a military career, and clever enough to seek admission into Woolwich, to pause before they allow themselves to be swayed in their choice by the tempting name of a scientific corps. He points out two cases in justification of his warning. One of them is that a very distinguished officer of artillery was lately recommended for the post of Chief of the Staff College, now about to be considerably enlarged. He had been tested in high educational situations, and his name as a military writer was known all over Europe. Moreover, the choice was said to be approved by the War Office, and admitted by the whole army to be putting the right man in the right place. But it has lately been announced semi-officially that Colonel Hamley is not chosen because " the head of the staff college must not be an artilleryman." The writer thinks that the words are stereotyped for further use on similar occasions. And yet he says the Duke of Cambridge is nominally colonel of the Royal Artillery, and we see announcements that he is to preside at the annual meeting of that " distinguished" corps. Distinguished, he suggests, unpleasantly just now by these rejections of its picked men from offices for which they were specially chosen and specially fitted. Moving Heavy Guns. A trial has been made at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, of a new method of moving very heavy guns, invented by Lieutenant B. Brown, of the Royal Artillery. The means are a portable tramway and friction balls, on which a slide or carriage bearing the weight rests, thus being quite independent of the nature of the ground over which the weight has to be conveyed, and doing away , to a great extent with the many pre judicial resistances which now render so difficult the transport of heavy ordnance. The gun manipulated weighed 121 tons, and the plat form 12 tons, making a total weight of 14 tons, which passed up and down inclines with the greatest ease, a detachment of about ten men alone Leing re quired to carry out the experiment. These men were entirely unacquainted with the invention having been taken from other duties The tramway or iron gutters over which the gun passed were merely placed on the ground without any previous preparation, and after it had passed over a portion of them they were taken up and relaid, thus forming a continuous tram way for any distance. Mortuary Fees. The Daily Telegraph undertakes to enlighten a correspondent on the subject of mortuary fees. "A. Dissenter " writes to our contemporary to ask whether the clergyman of a parish has power to claim a mortuary fee from the estate of every one who during his lifetime has had an income of £4O and. upwards. He supposes a case :—A gentle man who, during his lifetime, has attended a dissenting place of worship, and owned no allegiance to the vicar of his parish, dies. He is buried in the unconsecrated part of a general cemetery by the minister of the chapel where he formerly attended. The clergyman demands from the widow a sum of money as mortuary fee due to him self. Would the law of the land sustain the clergyman in his olaim ? The Daily Telegraph answers this question by another, The editor asks whether such a custom exists in the place referred to. An Act of Henry VIII., he says, declares that these payments shall be demanded only in places "where mortuaries have been accustomed." There was a case in the Consistory Court of London in 1839, when the Marylebone guardians were refusing to pay the burial fees of paupers to the rector of the parish. The suit was dismissed because it was governed by particular Acts of Parliament. Escape from Fire. A. correspondent points. out the s er i ous r i s k in curred by the employes m large establishments in which no proper precautions for providing means of escape from fire have been taken. One place of business with which • he is acquainted stands consider a bl y hi g h er th an the neighbouring houses, being about ninety feet high. In the upper stories some fifty young women sleep, being locked in their part of the build- PRICE Id. STAMPED 2d. ing, and the whole establishment is left in charge of two porters and a few servants. In case ola fire these young women would have no chance of escape, since they would be out of reach of a fire escape, and the adjoining roofs are far distant. This case is only one of many which exist in London and all other large towns, and the owners of such buildings appear per fectly indifferent to reiterated accounts of death and disaster from fire. Iron as a Material for Shipbuilding. At the annual meeting of the members of the Iron and Steel Institute, Mr. Charles M. Palmer read a paper on " Iron as a material for shipbuilding, and its influence on the commerce and armament of nations." The value of land for agricultural pur poses had, he said, tended to diminish very greatly the growing of timber for ship building, and foreign nations were unable to supply in suf ficient quantities and at a reasonable price good wood for the purpose. Dr. Fairburn in a work on iron ship building had pointed out the superior advantages which wrought iron possessed over all other mate rials. So superior,i n fact, were. the facilities for uniting different pieces of iron to those of com bining wood, that a plate 14 inch in thickness would be 134 times stronger than the wood sheath ing combined in the ordinary manner. An English Editor in Paris. It is bad enough no doubt to be a French Impe rialists, and have plots, bombs,-aud_picratecipateslip... , prepared for one. It is bad, also, to be a Republican and be arrested for complicity in designs of which one knows nothing. But what amount of pity can be too great for a guileless Englishman who enters the capital and. forthwith meets with the hostility of both parties ? Such a fate, we are informed, befell an English news paper editor who visited Paris this week. He had no dealings, friendly or hostile, with. picrat e of potash. And yet his cab was. impounded by the .rioters, overturned, and went to form a barricade. It is always well to make ,the . best of a misfortune. In s ti nc ti ve l y th e e dit or rus h e d . oil to the telegraph office to entertain his readers with an account of his mishap. The French officials, however, displayed a decided preference for fur nishing the British public with their account of the doin g s in Paris, and th e t e l egram was accor di ng l y kept back. Of course it is useless to ask the rioters for an explanation of their conduct—barricade makers have no 'consciences ; but why was the tele gram retained it was commonly believed that the French Government had given up these tricks ; but it seems that even an 011ivier Ministry cannot keep _ down the over zeal of small official& More- - over, there is a decided unfairness about the thing. Mr. Smalley, the London correspondent of the New York Tribune, has lately been guilty of : sitting at table with M. Gustave Flourens, he has received letters addressed to M. Flourens, and yet he has been in Paris a week without suffering arrest. It is true that Mr. Smalley knew nothing of what the - letters contained—but what does that matter ? The arrest of Mr. Smalley is demanded in the name of liberty and equality. A MASTER AND HIS CREW. Captain G. W. Spurring, of the barque Eglantine (which arrived at Greenock on Tuesday), gives an account of the conduct of the crew he shipped at Greenock last December. He has never seen " such a gang of ruffians" on board a ship. At starting two of the crew refused to go to sea, and were sent for ten weeks to Paisley prison. When the ship arrived at Demarara, Alexander, one of the sailors, got drunk and threatened to kill or crucify some of the negro labourers who were at work on board. A conflict ensued between him and the captain. Alexander endeavoured to strike Captain Spurring with a belaying pin 61b. in weight, which he took out of the rail. Two other seamen, M`Glinchy and Shearer, were in his rear. The captain having retreated to his cabin, they fol lowed, Alexander having the 6 lb. iron pin - in his hand. The capt a i n p resen t e d a sma ll revo l ver, and said, Stand back or I will shoot you." The intention of Captain Spurring was merely to wound Alexan der in the wrist, so as to disable him ? but owing to a change in his position the ball entered his windpipe. The police had been sent for half an hour before the shot was fired. The master told the pilot to take the ship out into the strpan t and, after Livme instructions to th e ma t e, surrendered himself to the authorities. After the case had been tried, the magistrate at Demerara said Captain Spurring was perfectly justified in the course of action he had taken. Alexander soon recovered and wanted to go on board the bark again, but was discharged by the magis trate's order. The terms of the Cartel Convention for the extra dition of deserters, concluded between Austria and Russia in 1815, and of the supplementary convention of 1822, will expire next month, and (according to the Eastern. Bnclget) the treaty will not be renewed. Interviews took place last night at Blackburn, between representatives of the cotton operatives and their employers, on the subject of th e res t orat i on of the five per cent. taken off the wages of the employes fourteen months ago. It was urged, on behalf of the operatives, that the trade h a d i m p rove d , b ut the employers stated that during the past four months the trade had been worse, and that they could not advise an advance of wages at the present time. A conciliatory and respectful spirit, it is said, pervaded the interviews. HARBOURS OF REFUGE.—A cony of the quarterly report of the engineers at the Harbours of Refuge at Dover, Alderney, Portland, and Holyhead for th e past year has been print e d, by or d er of the House of Com mons. From the papers we learn that the estimates for Dover Harbour of R.' efuge amounted to £725,000, of which, at the end of March last, £651,649 had, been pent. In the past year alone the works cost about £21,316. The improvements at the Harbour of Refuge, Alderney, cost about £l9BOO. The estimates were.£l,3oo,ooo, of which sum £1,245,713 has already been spent. The estimates for the Breakwater at Portland amounted to £1,035,000, and of this sum £1,029,920 has been paid away. In the past year the works cost £4,672. A sum of £4,593 has been expended during the past twelve months upon the harbour of refuge at Holyhead, the estimates for which amounted to £1,536,000, of which sum £1,414,408 has beeifipent. THE DISCHARGED DOCKYARDMEN.—The TreStern Morning News comments upon the correspondence which has just passed between the First Lord of the Admiralty. and Mr. Lewis, member for Devonport, on dock yard discharges. The Morning News points out that in this, as in previous similar cases, Mr. Childers has been misinformed as to facts, and specifies particulars in which discharged dockyards men have been subject to in. justice and hardship. Our contemporary concludes by saying, " The reductions at Devonport are now proceeding with greater rapidity than ever - the necessity fo r re d uc i ng the dockyard staffs has never been denied by ourselves or by any one acquainted with the internal adminis tration of those establishments, but it should have been done gradually, judiciously, and with the most scrupulous fairness towards the workmen. It is because the reductions are being carried out in a manner the very reverse of this, that even staunch Liberals and Ultra- Economists in Devonport feel indignant and disappointed. At the next election for the borough Mr. Childers will be better able to appreciate this fact, and we fear that Mr. Lewis, despite his earnest remonstrances with his friends in the Ministry, may feel its effect." THE THREE SciwoLs OF ART.—At the College of Preceptors, on Wednesday, a paper on " The Three Schools or the Distinctive Aim of Classic, Mediieval, and Modern Art " was read by Mr. Wyke Bayliss, whose lectures on previous occasions have been of the highest class. Nor was this lecture an excep tion, It was listened to throughout with attention, and exhibited a thorough grasp of a deeply interesting subject. Mr. Bayliss said that while to all other workers the great things accomplished in the past are encouragements for the future, the painter alone is trained in the idea that the past only for him is glorious ; while to all other thinkers lib er t y o f religious thought is the very breath o f life, the painter only is taught to look with a lingering regret on the time when the gods or the saints reigned supreme in the studio. It is a great thing to lopk back and revere and learn, but no t thus did the great masters gain their inspiration; it a greater thing to look forward, and thin p be the B attitude of the modern school. Aiming at the beautiful as earnestly as did the Greek, striving for emotional expression as honestly as did the Mediwvalist, working from a world of beauty and passion that neither Greek nor Medievalist recognised, surely the modern school has yet a glorious future, and great as was Greek art in its eclec ticism, and the Renaissance in devotional fervour, the difference of their excellence and that of the modern schools is of kind rather than of degree, and in the broad human sympathies of the religion with which it is allied modern art has everything to hope for and nothing to fear.
