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 lind their way, safely and easily, over the whole world. _ The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870, is a guarantee fur 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 iu 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 Com mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the &Rees 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 an amount of topographical, statistical, commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can not be found in any other p . nblication. A valuable addition will be 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 Editors, 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-monthlynumber 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 bomowaid bound steamers, provision having been made for the Agents of the respective Steamship Companies regularly receiving them for distribution at all foreign ports. Communications, suggestions, and corrections are earnestly solicited from all Travellers, either by letter to the Editor, or personal interview, at the Buckingham Palace Hotel, London. {ABRIDGED QIRCULAR.] EMIT PER CENT.

The Bonds are a First Mortgage on 85 miles of Railroad, from Des Moines to Fort Dodge, of which 77 are already completed; on 365,0110 acres of land or thereabouts in the State of lowa, already parcelled out and 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 tion of the completion of the Railway by the runnineof 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 Ist October, 1898, or at any time by optional purchase by the Company at market value not exceeding 120 per cent, by means of 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 sources. The numbers of the Bonds drawn for payment are to be ad vertised in New York and London Newspapers.

The Bondholders are privileged to purchase any of the surplus lands comprised 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 Ftate 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.

MOSELY, the Dentist by special appointment, 312, REanNY-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, bioORGATE -STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring ease and comfort unsurpassed —detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance restoted—mastication and arti culation gu aranteed. The "Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only addresses 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Insurance Poltechnic ; and 23' Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Office. THE. CABLNET. Th e Daily News believes that so far no question of remodelling the Cabinet has been entertained. It seems to think that Mr. Bright's resignation is not a probable event. " The restoration to health of the President of the Board of Trade is proceeding as satisfactorily as hia friends could wish. His medi cal advisers, however, are of opinion that it would not be desirable for Mr. Blight to resume his par liamentary duties during the present session." CHANGES IN THE IRISH LAND DILL. The upholders of tenant-right in Ireland are pleased by the changes that have been effected with regard to the third clause of the Irish Land Bill. The landlord classes, on the other hand, are as much displeased. The Farmers' Clubs still mani fest discontent at the measure, and there seems to be a somewhat despondent feeling on the part o f men who, in one case, summed up their dissatisfaction by declaring that " the people had no faith in Mr. Gladstone, and that there w as no country in the world where the people are so unfortunate." The Post thinks that, after the decision on Monday and Tuesday night, the bill may be looked upon as passed in its substantial integrity, so far as the op position in the Commons is concerned. It thinks that the bill is altered very much for the better. THE NATIONAL DEBT. Fluctuations in the capital of the National Debt occur from year to year. A. statement has been issued of the total amount of capital of the funded and unfunded debt at the end of each year from 1850-51 to 1869-70. In 1851 the total came to £829,717,045, the terminable annuities in 3 per cent. stock being £39,993,023. Until 1855 the amount de creased by about twenty millions, but in 1857 it was £839,519,326, the terminable annuities in 3 per cent. stook t)eincr •E27.567.5:12. Since that_ date a ;Tactual decrease has taken place, until in 1870 we Lve a total or 801,400,503, with terminable annui ties in 3 per cent. stock of £53,130,380. INCOME-TAX VARIATIONS. The income tax, when carried by Sir Robert Peal, was passed for three years only, but it has lasted for nearly a generation. • Select Committees have sat upon it; it has been attacked and applauded by turns, and it now survives. Many variations have taken place in the amounts raised, and in the amount of tax per imposed. In 1853-54 the receipt was £5,730;000, raised by a tax of 7d. in the £ on in comes of £l5O and upwards, and of sd. in the £ on those of upwards of £lOO and under £l5O. In 1854 the tax was ls.. 2d. on incomes of the former amount and the receipt wits £10,922,000. For the next two years an extra twopence was imposed, which brought the tax to the very high figure of ls. 4d. in the £, raising fifteen and -sixteen millions of money. In 1857 it again fell to 7d. and sd. for the re spective incomes, which yet brought in £11,396,000, and on twopence being taken off the superior rate in the next year the receipts fell to £6,610,000. Since that time the tax has varied almost yearly, though the tendency has been to decrease the rate, and latterly a- rate of- 4d. or sd. has .brought in various sums from five to ten millions. NONCONFQIIMISTS AND EDUCATION. The Nonconformists have not been idle with regard to the cl auses o f th e Ed uca ti on Bill w hi c h excite their discontent. The petition presented to the House of Commons has now been handed, in the f orm o f a c i rcu l ar , to ?veryindividual member of Parliament. Its word ing expresses the earnest prayer of the Nonconfor mists of all denominations throughout the land, that the religious liberties of large classes of her Majesty's subjects may not be so injuriously affected as they are threatened to be by the bill, if it should pass unamended. A strong protest is presented against the proposal to give to local boards unrestricted power to determine the religious character of schools to be aided and supported by local rates. A new form of religious taxation is imposed, the petition says, not less objectionable than Church rates, rendering the minority in every district liable to the payment of a rate for the support of what ever form of religious teaching the majority may approve ; and thus giving occasion to sectarian con flicts which will be most injurious to the social harmony and religious well-being of the community. Meetings on this subject continue to be held, and the Nonconformists of Plymouth have expressed these sentiments with regard to the disapproved clause relating to the Local Boards. THE NATIONAL SOCIETY. At a meeting of the general committee of the Na tional Society to consider the Government Education Bill,resolutions were adopted to the following effect : The committee, with a view to a settlement of the question on a religious basis, will not object to its schools submitting to section 3 of clause 7, but they see grave objections to any system by which religious instruction shall be confined by a rigorous time-table to particular hours. All public elementary schools, whether denominational or otherwise, should, it considers, be equally with those formed by the school boards entitled to their full share in the school rates, provided they satisfy the requirements of the Education department, unless it can be provided that voluntary subscriptions should count as rates to approved schools. The other points laid down by the committee are control of managers by the education department and others interested in the support of the school, the building of new schools by the several religiohs bodies, aided by a grant from the education department, and their being placed on the same footing as existing deno minational schools. THE IRISH CHURCH. The reply of the Archbishops of Canteibury and York - to the address lately presented by them to the Archbishops of Armagh has been received. expresses the cordial satisfaction with wnicl, the archbishops, - bishops, clergy, and laity of Ireltuzl in convocation had received the affectionate address of nearly 4,000 of the clergy and laity of the Church of England. A prayer is added that now when some of the external bonds which .hitherto bound them together had been loosened, other and higher bonds which still remained might bind the Churches of England and Ireland into even closer fellowship in the spirit, and that, in the main tenance and defence of the common faith, they might continue to one end. MURPHY'S LECTURES. The odds seem to be against Mr. Murphy de livering the remaining lectures advertised for the nights for which he has engaged the Lecture-hall at Woolwich. On Thursday night when the lecturer appeared On the platform with a variety of "Catholic instruments of torture," consisting of whips an t e' cats-o'-nine tails, supposed to be used for the bene fiteof refractory monks and nuns, a respectable man in terrupted him, and having obtained permission fro m the audience to speak, declared that though he was no Roman Catholic, he disapproved of what Murphy said, and questioned his right to thus agi tale the minds of the people. The res t df the audience, however, were not contented with expressing their feelings in a similarly quiet manner, and they succeeded in breaking up the meeting by violence. A MEDICAL VIEW OF THE BOAT RACE. Was the boat race the other day a good and desirable thing or not ? The British Medical Journal, looking through the medium of a long list of injuries, is inclined to say that the at tendant evils largely outweighed the beneficial effects of the healthy influence of seeing a manly trial of skill and strength. Passing over the wofully mistaken and temporary regard which John Bull has for his stomach on these occasions, we are told that the overcrowding that is allowed along the banks of the river is most injurious to the health of the people. On Hammersmith Bridge, for instance, shortly after the race, a mass of closely-packed people, numbering several thousands, swayed across from the Surrey side. Individual efforts were in vain, and a consi derable number of injuries were inflicted. Some means might have been taken to mitigate this evil, which must have been antici pated. Women and children were knocked over or crushed against the iron railings of the bridge, amid the coarse jokes of London roughs. In other parts of the course the overcrowding had similar effects. THE CONVICT RUTHERFORD. - - Probably the unfortunate Rutherford will not congratulate himself on his comparative freedom from deformity. lie suffers from malformation of the neck, and it was thought that this defect would lead to a remission of the sentence through fear of inflicting exceptional torture. But tbis convenient deformity is not sufficient. An exa mination has been made, and it is duly reported "that there is nothing in the neck of the convict to prevent his being hung in the ordinary way." This is one of the coolest decisions on record, and equals the famous dictum of the American judge, who told a convict that he might suit his own con, venienee in naming the day, provided it were ah early one, or the speech of an official, who politely came forward and told an execution crowd that "Brother Crane having five minutes to spare before he is turned off will oblige us with a few words on the new tariff." It is to b 3 hoped that the gentleman who has conducted the examination has made no mistake. THE LASU. The system of the lash bad been banished from our criminal code until its reintroduction was found necessary to repress that worst kind of violence attending robbery, known as garrotting. Un fortunately the " cat" has had to be administered pretty freely of late, and if the report of a case tried at the Surrey Sessions be true, administered, at least in one instance, under circumstances that should induce fuither inquiry. Two youths, seven teen and nineteen years of age, were charged with hanging about the entrance to Astlev's Theatre. A lady said they had robbed her, and they were taken into custody. No one appeared to prosecute, but they had been convicted before, and were therefore sentenced again, both to - imprisonment with hard labour, and one of them to 15 lashes with the " cat." Whipping is looked upon as the next worst form of punishment to hang hitt. SurelY, thm, the, Amain at tha • youth for having no risible means or livelihood is dispropor tionate to the offence, and neither a proof of the wisdom of the Surrey justices noi'the CHILD STEALING. That there is a contagion in crime the cropping up o!' similar offences within a short time of each other . frequently leads us to believe. Itwas but a few months that th 3 loss of Colonel Ilickie's child converted. -every newspaper reader into an amateur detective aad so keen was the scent of those self appointed upholders of the law, sharpened by that touch of nature which makes the whole world akin, that the child-stealer was soon brought to justice, and the lost little one restored to its parents. But the punishment of the oTender on that occasion seems not to have put a stop to the crime. The wife of a small tradesman, named Chinnery, engaged a servant from the Islington Workhouse, about a year and a half ago. On Monday she left home with Mrs. Chinnery's infant, and has not been heard of since. The heart-broken mother detailed to the Clerkenwell Magistrates " the steps she had taken, . all to no purpose, and in despair she sought the publicity of the Press. This has been-already accorded to her, and it ;5441.04.4. be hoped that the amateur detectives will be as suc cessful in this case as they were in that of Colonel Hickie's child. OVERLADEN SHIPS. The subject discussed by the members of the Institution of Naval Architects, at their resumed meeting, was " The Load-Draught of Mer chant Ships." At the close of the dis cussion the president, referring to some re marks made by him on the previous day with regard to the probable overlading of the City of Boston, disclaimed every intention of saying anything offensive or injurious to Messrs. Inman. But when a public man, he said, took up a question like this he should deal with the proba bilities of the case, and these pointed to the belief that when the City of Boston left Halifax she was overladen. The present discussion, however, had served to illustrate the difficulty of the sub ject, and he was glad to find it sup ported his desire for a thorough investigation. We had, he considered, not only lost life and property, but our national character by the astounding catalogue of casualties that had occurred during the last two months, and the conviction was growing that a largo proportion of the disasters was the result of ship owners yielding to the temptation to overload their ships. CANADA ON THE ALERT. Canada, in the interest of her own safety, has thought fit to exclude all foreign fish ing vessels from the inshore fisheries unless provided with licenses. President Grant has directed a small active naval steamer to be sent, at the beginning of the approaching fishing season, to the waters in which those fisheries are chiefly carried on, for the purpose of warning and protection to the United States' fishermen. The commander of the vessel is instructed to prevent in fractions by the United States of the Treaty with El:gland of 1818, and of the laws in force relating to fisheries within British jurisdiction, or any illegal interference with the pursuits of American fishermen. THE DISTURBANCES IN SPAIN. As usual, there is much difficulty in obtaining news of the conscription outbreaks in Spain. The ordinary, telegraphic agencies send very little, and the few parti culars gleaned by the Times correspondent are not com plete. He telegraphs that according to the latest news received the insurrection continued in Gracia, San Andres, Olot, and Sabadell, all in the vici nity of Barcelona. There has been a gallant fight in Sabadaell between the rebels and Volunteers of Liberty, the latter sustaining a heavy fire, until relieved by the troops. The rebels continued raising barricades, burning railway bridges, and destroying telegraphs. The Captain-General was waiting for reinforcements, which were expected on Wednesday and Thursday from Valencia, Madrid, and Zaragoza. Prim has dispatched General Baldrich, who has just been gazetted Captain- General at Porto Rico, to Barcelona, to direct the opera tions. Order continues, according to the latest accounts, in Barcelona itselo itself, though frequent agitations and constant attempts to raise barricades were keeping the troops employed in destroying them. w e learn from tne fforth (lemma correspondent that in the approaching summer half-year, English lite rature will be made the subject of several courses of lec tures in the University of Berlin. A. mason named John Welsh has been arrested at Queenstown, under the provisions of the Peace Preserva tion Act, for having a six-barrelled revolver in his pos session. SINGULAR CHARGE OF PERJURY.—CharIes Cooper, a bricklayer, has been charged, at the Central Criminal Court, with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury at the Shoreditch County Coust. The alleged perjnilr took place with regard to the delivery of a load of bricks. A man, named Asser, had sworn at the County Court that he had delivered some bricks on a certain day, and he was tried for perjury and acquitted. The present defendant had sworn in corroboration that he was present on the Bth of October, when the bricks were delivertd, and that he helped to unload them, and added that he was in the employment of the prose cutor at the time. The prosecutor swore posi tively that no such quantity of bricks were delivered on the day mentioned, and that Cooper was not in his ser vice at the time, and was not allowed to be on the pre mises, and this statement was contradicted by his son, and by other circumstances. For the defence the man Asser (who had been acquitted), his brother, and his father, and a brother of the defendant Cooper, were ex amined, and they swore positively that the bricks were delivered on the Bth of October, and that the defendant' was present and assisted in taking them out of the cart. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the defendant was sentenced to hard labour for four months. AN INHUMAN MOTHER.—Mary Ann Buss, the wife of a bargeman at Brentford, has been charged with assault ing her little boy, seven years old, with a red hot poker. The poor little fellow had played truant front school to go to the boat race, and on going home told his mother a falsehood to conceal it. She, knowing he was deceiving her, put the' poker in the fire, and said she would burn his tongue out for telling her a lie. When the poker was red hot she took it out of the fire, and made a. dash at the boy, burning his neck severely. His screams' brought the neighbours, who called the husband, and he gave his wife in charge. The prisoner said it was an ac-, cident. She never meant to injure her son, but to flighten• him. The poker, however, slipped from her hand. The Chairman said the Bench could hardly believe that a mother could be so inhuman as wilfully to brand her child, and they therefore accepted her statement, dis charging her with a caution. She was hooted along the the streets by a crowd of women. THE MANSLAUGHTER OF A STEPFATHER.--James Campkin, who has been tried for the manslaughter of his stepfather, has been sentenced to a fortnight's impri sonment only, the great provocation which the prisoner had received from seeing his mother ill-treated being taken into account. HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN BIRMINGHAM—Four young men have been charged with highway robbery at Birmingham. The prosecutor was going home on Sunday at about eleven o'clock when he was stopped by a young man, who blew a whistle. Some twenty or thirty others then. ;IL:lied out of entries and other places of concealment, and attacked and robbed the prosecutor, who was so seriously injured that he had to remaid some time in the hospital. The prisoners were committed for trial. PARENTS CONVICTED BY THEIR CHILDREN.—A pain ful incident has occurred at the Preston Quarter Sessions. A woman, named Cullen, was charged with stealing a bag containing £llO from the person of a wheelwright, named Wearden, and her husband and another man were charged with receiving the stolen money. The principal witness against the two Cullens was their little daughter, nine years old, who saw Wearden in the back kitchen talking to her mother, and after he had left she saw her mother give her father a check ban answering the description of the lost bag. Presently Wearden came back and said he had been robbed. All the prisoners were found guilty. The woman Cullen, who had been formerly convicted of felony, was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude , Edward Cullen to twelve months' imprisonment, and Simpson, the other receiver, to five years' penal servitude. " BRAWLING" BY A MINOR CANON.—Proceedings were commenced same time since against the Rev. V. 11. Pullen, M.A., one of the minor canons of Salisbury Cathedral, for brawling in church, and the case was r emitted by the Bishop of Salisbury to the Court of Arches. It appeared that Mr. Pullen had objected to the mode in which the cathedral services had been performed, and had publicly protested against them in the cathedral itself. He had also written a pamphlet in which he very strongly urged his reasons. At the sitting of the Court of Arches a motion has been made on behalf of the promoter of the suit that the letters of request should be withdrawn, Mr. Pullen having apolo gised, Sir R. Phillimore said he was happy to find that the case had been settled so satisfactorily, and gave permission that the articles might be withdrawn. raving a cir sits a 6se of e of ,404; ise of Is, is ,582; held A is rilful T-in eldg, rday have Iture t ~-"
