The old rule touching jacks of all trades applies to him. Some of his occupations are neglected alto gether, some he does badly, and some he does spasmodically, though he performs great feats upon them now and then. How, for instance, does he deal with gamblers ? Everybody knows that pitch and toss flourishes triumphantly in most low districts, and that Sunday is the day specially devoted to the noble sport. Now and then, however, a great raid is got up; " the force" stops up all the avenues with disguised representatives, whilst a detachment of open and above-board blues seize a number of offenders and walk them off. The prisoners are made uncomfortable for the time being. But the captures are not nearly numerous enough to act as scarecrows to the general body of Sunday gamblers, and accordingly the few victims might as well be allowed to roam in peace. How does the policeman deal with night-houses ? He is endowed with the serious privilege of entering them whenever he likes. As a rule he does not think it worth his while to trouble himself on the score of these institutions. At times, how ever, conscience pricks him, and he indulges in various mad freaks, such as did an inspector and a sergeant some time ago, when they took a (for a time) innocent house by storm, in sisted upon entering the landlady's bath room, though they had no reason to think that any prey was inside, and finally remained on the stairs all night, departing with the dawn as wise as they had come. How does the policeman deal with public-houses ? He may be above corruption ; but he has not read Austin or Bentham, and his appreciation of the theory of Utility is not so nice -that he sees the exact need for closing public houses at precisely the legal time, especially if he gets a glass of beer as the reward of indulgence. As a matter of fact, he often does come in for a little spiritual support by stretching a point in the way of time. The thing is frequently done ; nor is it at all likely that the average policeman sees the evil of it. It is probable that much might be done to improve the efficiency of the police by giving these special duties to special men, and withdrawing the policeman proper to his rightful function, the guardianship of property. It is likely, for instance, that night-houses would be kept in much better order if there was a body of men whose sole business it was to attend to them. There is no reason, too, why public-houses should not have their special inspec tors, and the same may be said of other branches of police work. Such a division of labour exists in all other businesses; why not in the great business of tracking crime? Its advan tages are obvious. At present every policeman has, in addition to what may be called his pri mary duty, to attend to various details, which distract his attention, and which, after all, are not properly managed. The number of men required to watch all the night-houses in London could not be large, and their employment would set all the rest of the force free from that particular task. When a policeman was wanted to apprehend a burglar, he would not be found waiting on the stairs of a Haymarket house, nor would he be found lounging about the door of a public-house, if it happened to be closing time, as he often is now. Moreover, it is undeniable that the work of these separate departments would be performed much better than it is now. The men engaged would give their sole attention to the one duty with which they were entrusted. They would be less liable to corruption in perambulating a considerable extent of ground, and pouncing down unexpectedly here and there, than is the policeman whose beat is confined within a limited space. Their failure in one department like wise, would •be more conspicuous. How far or in what way this subdivision should be carried out is a matter of detail which cannot be advantageously discussed here; but that som ethic; of the kind is needed in large towns is clear. ;nand for medical assistance and the bene- fits of nursing for sick children have increased in far greater proportion than the supply that has been afforded to them, and those who would wish to benefit the needy must see that their charitable donations cannot he more worthily bestowed than in the support of this hospital. It is one of the most painful, and at the same time most perplexing sug gestions in connection with the relief of the poor that too much is done for them, and that heavy sums are spent on undeserving objects. Surely these strictures cannot apply to the recipients of the bounty of the institution in Great Ormond-street. It comes to this if strangers do not help them, who can, their parents are quite precluded from the office, and as to the complaint of the money being wasted, which figures to so great an extent in the diatribes on other charities that is equally inapplic able. In the first place there can be no pretence ; a child cannot feign suffering ; and there is no greater service to render to society than to improve the health of the weakly, and eradicate disease from the sick and afflicted. There is nothing more sad, amid the many calamities which are entailed by the thousand ills that flesh is heir to, than to see young children pining away for want of care and common comfort, neglected and ill-used by those who do not comprehend their sufferin gs, or treated wrongfully by well-meaning but ignorant attendants. Those who study the short and simple annals of the poor know that the sins of the fathers arc visited upon the children to a greater extent than in the higher ranks of life. A drunken father, or careless mother, will cause fearful suffering to the able-bodied, but for the sick one of the family it is difficult to estimate the misery that is thus endured. The recipients of this charity cannot plead for them selves, but that should be an additional claim on those who have the means to aid them. The list of subscriptions on Wednesday was a very considerable one, and those who were prevented from joining the entertainment should perform their part in aiding the good work, for they may rest assured that the money thus spent will not be regretted in after times, since abundant proof hus been furnished that it is put to a worthy use. An official statement was made in the House of Commons yesterday, by Mr., Monsell, in reference to the Fenian raid in Canada, but it did not add to the information which had been published by the press. The statement that the President of the United States had issued a proclamation warn ing the American subjects against a violation of the neutrality laws was received with loud demonstrations of approVal. The Irish Land Bill again occupied the attention of the House for many hours. There were many amendments on the paper, and they were rapidly disposed of. The Bill will probably be read a third time on Monday. The remaining business which was transacted was un important. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, May 25. Yesterday being the anniversary of her Majesty's birth day, the chofr from Crathie z ttended at the Castle at three o'clock. and had the honour of performing a selection of music before her Majesty. The Queen went out in the morning, accompanied by Princess Louise. In the afternoon the Queen drove out with Princess Louise and Princess eatrico. The Prince of Wales presided yesterday at a meeting in aid of the funds of St. George's Hospital, held at Hanover sqrare Rooms. The Princess of Wales accompanied the Prince. In attendance were the Countess of Mort n and General Sir W. Knollys. The King of the Belgians visited the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough House, and remained to luncheon. The Prince of WALES had a gracious task to per form on Wednesday evening, in presiding over the anniversary festival in aid of the Hospital for Sick Children. Of all the charities which abound in London, there is none which appeals more power fully to the sympathies of the kindly disposed and benevolent than this one The children of the poor, when attacked by sickness, are among the most help less and unfortunate of sufferers, and it seems only surprising that a work of this sort was not contem plated at an earlier period, During the eighteen years the - Hospital in Great Ormond-street has been in existence, it has amply justified the wis dom of those who proposed its establishment, and ren dered the greatest:services to the young members nf the community for whom it was designed. In proposing the toast of " Success to the Institution," the Prince of WALES briefly put the chief facts of the case be fore his auditory, and pointed out the duty and pri vilege which laid before them of rendering assistance to so valuable a Society. He took for granted that they occasionally passed through some of the narrow alleys and unhealthy streets with which the metropo lis abounds. In these wretched places many sick and suffering children may be met with struggling into maturity or pining away from neglect, in either case a burden to themselves and others. It is an encou raging sign in the history of this Hospital that, after eighteen years have passed away a new building is required to carry out its purposes. The present structure is nearly two hundred years old, and many parts are in a most dilapidated condition. Those who may be inclined to aid in consolidating so excellent a charity will feel some interest in dwelling en some of the details connected with its history. It was established in 1852 by Dr. WEST and Dr. BENCE JONES, who felt the urgent necessity that existed for some such provision for the helpless and suffering children of the poor. Until this charity was opened there had been no similar institution in England, al though many of the continental cities enjoyed the advantages of such an institution. however, this was an illustration of the proverb, " better late than never," for the example thus tardily set by London has been followed by other cities in the kingdom. Edinburgh, Birmingham, Liverpool, and other large towns having established kindred societies for the relief of the sick children of the destitute classes. REPORTING OF THE IRISH LAND BILL. Last night, as will be seen from our Parliamentary Report, the Irish Land Rill was duly, and finally passed through committee amid considerable cheering. The Secretary for Ireland immediately afterwards fixed the third reading for Monday. GOVERNMENT AMENDMENTS ON EDUCA. TION BILL. A great improvement wars made lakt summer by the Council of the Institution in opening a conva lescent home at Highgate which can accommodate 56 children. This is a most useful adjunct to the original institution, and its utility has been clearly demonTrated. If we take a glance at the progress which the ho§p4al has made we shall feel surprise as well as gratification. In 1862 the number of in patients was 143, and of out-patients 15,7 e0 — (cheers) --showing an increase of 566 in-patients, and of no less than 14,530 out-patients. (Renewed cheers.) The increase in the income of the charity has been proportionately satisfactory. In 1852 the reCei i - ts were only 18505 last year they were £2,750, or an increase 'of £2,410. The de- The amendments at last decided upon by her Majesty's Government, by way of moCAfication in the Education Bill as originally submitted to the House of Commons by Mr. Forster, include among them, it will be seen, a time-table conscience clause for all schools, but no limitation of the character:of the religious teaching. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL. Nora. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is winning golden opinions from all sorts of men by the earnest way in which he is acquitting himself of the responsibilities of his high position—presiding- within these last few days as he has done in rapid succession over the annual dinners given in aid, now of the Theatrical Fund, now of the Hospital for Sick Children, now as recently as only yesterday at the public meeting holden at the Hanover-square R , ,oms in fur therance of the noble charity of St. George's Hospital.

Hurst and Blackett Lady Emily Ponsonby in al/ her works endeavours to enforce a noble lesson—the lesson so happily e l itomised by the American Poet— • " Not enjoyment and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way, But to act that each to-morrow Find us further than to-day." " The Discipline of Life " wt s the theme of one of the earliest works of the author of " Nora.'' It consisted of two or three very beautifully written tales, and achieved a considerable success. The object of the present work is to exhibit the ill effects of prejudi.ces and personal antipathy, but the manner in which this very desirable object is enforced, is to say the least of it somewhat exaggerated. In the opening of the took, we make the acquaintance of an eccentric and wealthy old bachelor of the name of Smythe, who, to his indignation and amazement, is appointed guardian to a youth ful damsel. "A little girl, good Heavens!' he ex claims, in horror. He accepts the responsibility, however, and does his best, and when the fair heiress is persem.ted by a fortune-hunting visitor, the poor guardian declares that 'his ward must marry, and if she will marry no one else, be will marry her himself. The young lady, who is one of the most inane, nay-yea characters, or no-characters, that ever novelist described, readily agrees, and some time later the unfortunate Mr. Smyth e again exclaims, with new dismay, "A little girl, good Heavens !" but this time the unwelcome little girl is no other than his daughter, Miss Annora Smythe. This young lady, whe, on becoming her own mistress, simplifies her name into Nora Smith, is the heroine of the tale. Her birth disappoints a family of cousins who had been count ing on the old bachelor's wealth, and she isin con& quencethe object of very unjust abhorrence. Her young cousin Herbert, the hero of the tale, is taught from childhood to regard her with hatred, and his senseless and extravagant animosity is near akin to madness. The tale is altoget her very improbable in its incidents, and malignant hatred, such as that displayed by this very perverse family, is not an every-day subject for the discipline of life. The stor y itself is well written, and the mystery of the denouemen tis preserved to the very end. "Nora" well sustains, but does not increase, the literary reputation of its author. Pa&nor's History of the Parish of St. Pancras. One Vol. Pp. 322. Samuel Palmer. A thousand years having nearly rolled by since the origi nal formation of the Parish of St. Pancras, that important and ancient portion of the great metropolis has at length found its historian. Until now the task has not been at tempted, or at any rate, for certain, until now, it has never been performed. The work of compilation, therefore, under taken by Mr. Palmer has been very laborious and compli cated. And it is not merely that the writer of this book has accumulated an immense store of hitherto scattered, and many of them half-forgotten, data, for the first time in these pages—he has invested them with a new interest by reason of the. entertaining manner in which they are recounted, and the orderly and sequential lucidity with which they aro arranged. The parish of St. Pan , ras, it should be remembered, is one of the very largest in the kingdom—the largest, by the way, being the parish of Eling, in the midst of the New Forest, down in Hampshire. Answering the sylvan character still pursued in a great measure by the parish of Eling, the parish of St. Pancras originally formed part of that great forest of Middlesex, whi h, at one time, extended far into Reef/ rdshire, and the last remnants of which are still to be seen in the ancient elms, and oaks, and beech, and holly, trees, constituting the chief glory, even now, of the loveliest of all our Parks, Kensington Gardens. The mere area of St. Pancras is re markable, containing as it does, 27,000 acres of land, the circuit of it embracing no less than one and twenty miles — the population numbering a quarter of a million. St. Pancras having at last found its historian in Mr. Palmer, it if wonderful to he ar from him in rapid suc cession the right reasons there are— anew and to spare— why its history, as a parish, should long before now have been written and treasured up. Here, in St. Pancras, King John had a royal palace in Tottenham-court-road—hence its designation, Here, too, in Kentish-town, Queen Eliza beth had a hunting palace, whence she used to gaily forth a-hawking, and upon other sylvan sports and recreations. Here, again, Nell Gwynne, the lowliest born, and the most beloved of all the mistresses of King Charles the Second had, for rs while, a ; rivate residence. Here, previously, red-nosed Noll (strange contrast to pretty Nell !), the Lord Protector Cromwell, had a palatial dwell ing-house in Flornsey-lane, at Highgate. About the only unsatisfactory part of Mr. Palmer's whole elaborate per for m ance is the account given by him, at pp. 18-22, of the life and death, just before the close of tke third century, of the Patron Saint of the Parish, the handsome boy Of fifteen, St. Pancratius. Had it occured to the author, he might have found more authentic materials for this little biography "ready to hand" iu the la a Cardinal Wiseman's beautiful tale of the Catacombs, Fabiola. It is peculiarly interesting to note, in regard to the old Parish Church of St. Pancras, that, as Mr. Palmer himself tells us (p. 23), not only is it' said to be the first Christian place of worship erected in the County of, Middlesex, in the eighth or ninth century, but it was "the last parish church in England in which the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic religion were performed, and the last, also, whose bell tolled for Mass after the Re formation." The date of this historical building is stated to be A.D. 1350. Singularly interesting and varied are the memorabilia here brought together by the researches of the is defatigable archeologist who has here labo riously gathered together all that is most worthy of note in regard 'to the Parish of St. Pancras. The result of his labours he has respectfully dedicated to a former rector of the parish whose annals they celebrate —the very reverend gentleman recently deceased (upon the very morrow, as it were, of the be k's publication), meaning the late Roy. Thomas Dale, Canon of St. Paul's, and Dean of Rochester. Mr. Palmer gives us a list of the Vicars of St Pancras from Fulcherius, the priest, made perpetual Vicar, with an annual pension. of : 2s A.D. 1183, to the present Vicar, Anthony Wilson There'd, Prebendary of York, appointed (with a slightly better annual income than 25.) in August, 1869. The list of churchwardens has a gap of merely six years unmarked, but is otherwise complete from 1660 to 1868-1869. Much interesting anecdotal matter may here also be found in regard to many well-known inhabi tants, at different times, of the Parish of St. Pancras, in cluding among these the Abbe Carron, Samuel Cole ridge, the poet, Ned Ward, the poetaster; George Whitfield and Major Cartwright ; the Rev. William Harnessand the Rev. Edward Irving; Charles Mathews the comedian, and Charles Dickens the novelist, with a number of other very miscellaneous celebrities.

President GRANT'S Proclamation against the Fenian marauders was not inappropriately dated and published on Her MAJESTY'S Birthday. It is the proceeding of as loyal and faithful au ally as any of those who have held that relation, during the three and thirty years of the reign of our beloved SOVE REIGN, with Her MAJESTY herself, and with Her MAJESTY'S Government. If anything will bring these misguided men, the Americas Fenians, to their senses, it will be that simple, solemn, em phatic declaration on the part, and in the name, of ULYSSES S. GRANT, President of the United States— admonishing all good citizens of those States and all persons within their territory and jurisdiction, against aiding, countenancing, abetting, or taking part in such unlawful proceedings as have recently been announced, " cabelled" under the Atlantic, and " wired " hither and thither across the American and European continents. If anything can stamp out this incendiary flaming-up of Yankee-Irish filibustering, it will be this instant treading it down under his heel by the brave, bold, outspeaking Ameri can PRESIDENT. General GRANT evidences, here, again, as' he has already before now done so fre quently, that he is more of the Soldier than of the Diplomatist. ZACHARY TAYLOR never went more directly to the point, never earned more truly his title to the familiar, historical sobriquet of of Old Rough and Ready. President GRANT is—to her Majesty the QUEEN, as his ally—truer than gold, as true as the steel of his good sword as a Soldier. " Ido hereby warn all persons," quoth the PRE SIDENT of the United States, " that by committing such illegal acts they will forfeit all right to the protection of the Government, or to its interference in their behalf to rescue them from the consequences of their own acts." Furthermore—saith ULYSSES S. GRANT, President of the United States—" I do hereby enjoin all officers in the service of the United States to employ all their lawful authority and power to prevent and defeat aforesaid unlawful proceedings, and to arrest and bring to justice all persons who may be engaged therein." Than this, what more could be done by any ally, under similar circum stances? England will long hold in remembrance this instant and unhesitating act on the part of her loyal and trusty ally, the Chief of the United States Government. The declaration of the American PRESIDENT opportunely came to hand almost simultaneously with the announcement of the utter failure of the Fenian raid across the frontier-line of the Dominion. In that very first engagement, the Canadian Volun teers appear to have acquitted themselves to admira tion, the Fenian Head Centre, General O'NEILL, being captured, and H. R. H. Prince ARTHUR win ning his spurs, or for the first time, as the phrase is, swelling gunpowder. After the ignominious failure made by the rebel filibusters in their earliest attempts, in all seriousness, to kindle the deadly flameof civil war in Canada, there seems at last a glimmering of some thing like reasonable hope that we may, even now, be at the beginning of the end of that tragical-farce that has been playing out, at once so miserably and so gro tesquely, here close at hand in Ireland, there far away across the Atlantic, now feared, now derided, but always dangerous, and always detestable, under the still merely partially comprehended little of Fenianism. THE failure of the police to succeed in tracking the perpetrators of offences have become too nume rous to be attributed to the accidents of crime. In London particularly the immunity of great criminals is an alarming fact. The police are equal to dealing with minor lawbreakers, they can apprehend drunken men, and trace petty larceny to its source ; but when an offence of first-rate magnitude is committed by rogues of first-rate ability, "the force " seem totally unequal to the case. In the west end of London recently the extent of burglary depredations has been astounding. At one place £2,000 worth of property was taken. Lady Margaret Beaumont has just lost jewels to the worth of £lO,OOO. About a dozen other rob beries, resulting in serious loss, are recorded, be sides several abortive attempts. In most of these cases neither the criminals were apprehended nor the property recovered. Only one man has been cap tured for every one of these late huge burglaries, and as two or more confederates are required for every great crime, the success of jus tice is utterly insignificant and worthless. This is a very serious state of things, and regarding it in the most liberal spirit, it is impossible to resist the conclusion that a charge of inefficiency must be laid against the police. No doubt there must be a minimum of crime everywhere, and especially in a city like London. It is not to be expected that we can extirpate roguery. The area to be protected is so vast, and the accompanying circumstances so perplexing, that even an army of 8,000 men is scarcely adequate to meet the difficulties which present themselves. But when almost every crime of exceptionally dis astrous proportions remains unpunished, it is clear that our indulgence is being overtaxed. The failure must be recognised, and it remains to consider the most promising remedy. Here we are met at once by the conviction that fue quality of the " force" is not all that it ought to be, that the duties are irk some, the pay too small, the prospect of future reward too trifling to tempt a desirable class of men. The objections to the §o l 4iees career apply, though in a mitigated degree, to the career of a policeman. The candidate must fulfil very exact conditions in respect to health and good conduct ; he must, if he does his duty, work hard at a disagree able task; and, after all, about a pound a week represents the average pay of a rank and file constable all over the country. It is scarcely surprising that, in London at least, the ordinary course is to become 4 policeman when there is nothing else to do, and to cease to be a policeman when something better turns up. It is reasonable to conclude that a little higher stipend, or, at eypnts, the surety of a pension for every man who did 44 duty for a fixed period, would both induce better m,Qn t 9 pntey the force, and keep them when once enrolled. The influence of esprit de corps may always be counted upon in leading such a class as policemen to perform their duties well: but such a power must not be relied on when unsupported by more substantial considerations. A mope serious defect is the multiplicity of duties which fall to the oydiaairy guardians of the peace. The duties of a policeman are not only important, but numerous to excess. His primary work" is to protect property and person from attack.' But in addition, he has to look after street traffic, night houses, and public-houses, he is mostly a fireman, MARSHAL PRIM IN THE CORTES. A telegram has been received from Madrid announcing that Prim has made a speech in the Cortes, disowning all connection with the pronunciamento in Lisbon. He dis claimed all wish to interfere in Portuguese affairs. He wished for the union of ihe two countries, but only by pacific arrangement and mutual consent. Castelar spoke with his usual eloquence, and Sagosta and Rivers supported Prim's view& FIELD-LANE RAGGED SCHOOLS AND REFUGES. Last evening the twenty-eighth annual meeting in con nection with this institution was held at ihe institution in Little Saffron-bill, Farringdon-road. The meeting was pre sided over by the Earl of Shaftesbury, and on the platform were Mr George Banbury, M.P., Mr George Moore, Sir Sydney Waterlow, Mr Robert Baxter, the Rev. Dr Hugh Allen, the Rev. Donald Fraser, the Rev. Thomas Nolan, and other earnest and sincero friends of the institution. GREAT RIFLE MATCH IN IRELAND. The International Rifle Match has, according to special telegram just received, been shot at Dollsmount, near Dub lin, by eight English against eight Irish competitors. They fired 30 shots each at I,eoo yards. Earl Ducie was the English and Earl Spencer the Irish captain. The Irish total amounted to 730, the English total to 642. The highest Irish score was 105, the highest English was 103. SIR •JOHN SIMEON s VACANT SEAT.—Either Mr. Moffat or Mr. Clifford, a son of S,ir Augustus, will, in the Liberal interest, compete for the representation of Sir Joh SimPon's vacant seat in the Isle of Wight, in opposi tion to Mr. Baillie Cochrane, es the Conservative can didate. TAMPERING WITH VOTING PAPERS —At Leeds, yesterday. a man named Joseph Spofforth was sentenced to six weeps' imprisonment for having tampered with voting papers at the last election of guardians for the Leeds Union. It transpired that of 267 voting papers one-fourth had been tampered with ; and it was further stated that other cases will be heard next week. THE MIDDLESEX MAGlSTRATEs.—Yesterday, at the general meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middlesex, Mr. Pownall, the lairman, addressing the Court, over which he has presided for forty years, an nounced that failing health compelled him to resign. Lord Enfield, at a later part of the sitting, gave notice that he should propose Mr. H. M. Kemshead as Mr. Pownall's successor. rADVERTISEMENT ]-- HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.— Glandular swellings about the throat, neuralgia, tic-dolo reux, rheumatism, gout, lumbago, and other diseases affect ing the glands, muscles, and nerves of sensation, are Fee• manently eradicated by this healing anti-febrile and soothin g preparation.
