HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE. DU BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids, and Infanta' Food, THE REVALENTA ARA RICA, saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspep sia), cough, asthma, consumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric derangements, hemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatu lency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleep lessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness, even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, and bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CatmoN.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health restoring Revalenta, Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th. (Cure No. 48,41:1):—"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 Ambles. Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

With only two or three hundred advantage on a register of between two and three thousand, a split would have been very dangerous in the Liberal camp at the Isle of Wight. Such a contretemps has been narrowly escaped. Both Mr. Cavendish Clifford, son of Sir Augustus Clifford, and Mr. Moffat have expressed a wish to represent the Liberal party at the coining contest. If both went to the poll, Mr. Baillie Cochrane, who fears the ex pense of a fruitless struggle, might try his chance hope fully. But a test ballot has been arranged to decide the question—Clifford or Moffat? At Norwich the Liberals are still hunting for a candidate, in the hope that their vacant seat will shortly be filled up. The latest report seems to indicate a decision in favour of Mr. Tillett. The New Commander in Ireland. General Sir William Mansfield, who is about to succeed to the command of the forces in Ireland on the expected resignation of Lord Strathnairn is the fifth son of the late Mr. John Mansfield, of Diggeswell-house, Hertfordshire. His paternal grand father was the late Sir James Mansfield at one time `Lord Chief Justice of the Court 'of Common Pleas. He has seen much service in India from 1845-0, when he served with his regiment in the campaigns on the Sutlej, up to that trying period in 1857, when the destinies of the British Em pire in India seemed to be . trembling in the balance. During the whole of that struggle lie performed the most conspicuous and valuable services, and was almost immediately after selected to fill the post of Commander-in-Chief of, the army of Bombay. A few • weeks ago he was advanced to the dignity of G.C.8., and is now en trusted with a command the importance of which cannot be over-estimated. The Canadian Volunteers. The bravery of the Canadian volunteers has been now exemplified on two occasions, and their great willingness to go to the front whenever their country is threatened, cannot for a moment be questioned. The courageous spirit with which one hundred men repulsed three times their number of the would-be invaders a few days since, was before instanced in 1866, when Major-General Napier was concentrating the volunteers for the defence of Fort Erie. On that occasion a company of the Queen's Own Rifles, entirely composed of boy students from the University of Toronto, came forward and re quested to be allowed to leave Port Colborne with the service force. Seeing that the lads were most of them under fourteen years of age, the major-general in command felt constrained to order them to fall out of the ranks. The young fellows, it is said, became quite disheartened, and even sullen, and the dismay depicted on their faces was such as Major - General Napier says he shall never forget. The zeal and anxiety of the Canadians to act honourably and with valour in the Fort Erie affair, was perhaps more fully instanced by the fact that QOOO of them, armed and equipped, were waiting at Toronto for the order to march, just fourteen hours after the authorities had been informed that the Fenians had crossed the frontier from Buffalo. The Gambia Settlements. The River Gambia settlement, which has been a colony of the English Crown for upwards of half a century, is about to be transferred .to the French, in return for their possessions at Melicourie, Forreecariah, and Searcies, unless a peti tion, which is being prepared for transmis sion to Earl Granvill, should be influential in altering the order already issued on the subject. An English colonist bitterly complains in the 'limes of the summary and inconsiderate manner in which the Home Government have slighted the feelings of the colony, and allowed a French gunboat with the Minister of the Interior of Senegal on board to formally claim Bathurst as the capital of the new French colony, without the will of the residents ever being thought of or asked for. The writer says that on the arrival of Sir Arthur Kennedy, the Eng lish Governor-in-Chief, an explanation was demanded by the English merchants and a large number of loyal natives, when he made light of their indigna tion, and informed them that their " sentiment " could not be taken into account for a moment. He admitted, however, that if the colonists could clearly shew that the entire feeling of the place was against the transfer, and that the people would con sent to maintain at their own cost a largely-increased police-force, they might, perhaps, be left to them selves • the English Government, at the same time, entirely repudiating any responsibility on their account. The " English Colonist "adds that the feeling against a French Government is so strong that the residents would submit to almost any taxation in order to remain under the British flag, but he contends that in common fairness, they ought to have a voice in the disposal of this revenue. That reform is needed in the way the money of the territory is distributed, is clearly shewn, he points out, by the circumstance that out of a revenue of about £15,000 nearly £ll,OOO is required to pay the Executive. Brigandage in Spain. The excitement and anxiety felt by the friends of the Messrs. Bonnel is still very great in Gibraltar. There is good reason for uneasiness, since no commu nication of any kind has been received from either captives or captors since the first demand for ransom. It is supposed that the brigands are now hiding among a range of hills lying to the west, known only to smugglers and adventurous sportsmen, who go there in search of the ibex and other game. The Spanish authorities are actively pursuing the brigands, we are told, though how they can be in pursuit of men whose route is unknown is not clearly explained. The leader of the bandits is a constant visitor at Gibraltar, and is said to be well known to the guards on the outposts. In this respect the Gibraltar drama resembles the Marathon tragedy, and the active measures taken by the authorities produce little satisfaction. The Governor of Gibraltar has visited the relatives of the two gentlemen seized, and assured them that no efforts should be wanting on his part to restore their unfortunate friends. " Greek Meeting Greek." If the Greek brigands have a savage and mercilfiss way of torturing and murdering their victims, the conduct of ordinary Greeks towards the banditti, against whom they have inimical feelings, seems scarcely less horrifying. To judge from a dispatch sent by the English Vice-Consul at Missolonghi to Mr. Erskine, the destruction of brigands, by their fellow countryman, is undertaken on some occasions under peculiary dishonourable and crafty circumstances. He says that at Arakova, in the district of Kravara, three brothers named Shermani, and a servant of theirs, resolved that four well-known banditti whom they had before befriended should die. The unsuspecting victims were accordingly invited to dine within, a chamber, iu which loop holes had 1. een bored. At a certain period of the feast three of the entertainers withdrew, and the fourth, after a brief interval, called loudly for " sweetmeats." According to arrangement, these were not to be brought in, and when the host left the room to ascertain, as it were, the cause of the inattention to the visitors, a volley was fired through the loopholes on the guests. Three of the brigands fell in the room, wounded and dying, the fourth, an active man, made a jump through the window, and escaped. The treachery of the Shermanis, though it resulted in the deaths of three of the most famous robber chiefs at Missolonghi, cannot but lend additional reproach to the name the Greeks are litterly obtaining for themselves. The Sher i-penis will not themselves, moreover, reap much satisfaction from their act, as the fugitive brigand will in all likelihood obtain hordes of allies, who will be only too anxious to join in repaying them for their hospitality. The Revision of the Scriptures. - - At the first meeting of the committee appointed by the Convocation of Canterbury, various resolutions and rules were ageed to as the fundamental prin ciples on which the revision is to be conducted. The committee is to separate itself into two companies the one for the revision of the Old, the other for the .revision of the New Testament. The Old Testament company are to consist of the Bishops of St. Davids, Landaff, Ely, Lincoln, and Bath and Wells and of MAY 31, 1870. Archdeacon Rose, Canon Selwyn, Dr. Jebb, and Dr. Kay, the latter being members of the Lower House. The New Testament company is composed of the Bishops of Winchester, Gloucester and Bristol, and Salisbury, and tha following mem bers of the Lower House :—The Prolocutor, the Deans of Canterbury and Westminster, and Canon Blakesley. Various scholars and divines are invited to join - the companies. Fiji Missions. "A. Fiji Cotton Planter " complains of certain misrepresentations respecting the work of the mis sionaries in Fiji. He admits that when he first went to Fiji he was prejudiced against missionaries and their work, but he soon altered his opinion, and now thinks it would be hard to say too much in favour of some of those who are labouring on the spot. It is owing to the mis sionaries' labours alone that the white man has a safe footing on these islands for trade or any enterprise. Blackheath Common. The little plain of Blackheath, connected so fre quently with historical reminiscences, is to be pre served as an open space, if opposing action on the part of the inhabitants is sufficient to grapple with the devouring disposition of the Metropolitan Board of Works. It was almost unanimously resolved at a meeting on Saturday, that the scheme proposed by the Board for " planting and beautifying portions of the Heath " should be repelled to the utmost, and that the common should only be surrendered to the management of a local board, who would undertake to keep it unenclosed, and in good order. A letter from Mr. Gladstone (who as member for Greenwich was invited) was read at the meeting. In it he said he cordially subscribed to the necessity of preserving open grounds for the recreation of the people. Going, Going, but not Gone. The ratepayers of St. Pancras ought to be thankful that they have been spared an additional scandal in the sale of the parish " goods and chattels," under the auctioneer's hammer. Under theguidance of the " man in possession" preliminary arrangements had been made for the sale, and much fun was anticipated by many of the parishioners who had not the dignity of the board in their minds. On arriving at the place announced for the sale, how ever, it was found that the lawyer's bill, which had been run up by the old board in de fending themselves and one of their medical men from charges which they were bOund to answer, had, under judicious advice, been settled. Many of the trades men who attended were - irate, and expressed their intention of suing for loss of time ; but a little reflection will perhaps alter their determination, and induce a belief that a continua tion of proceedings, such as have for a long time past distinguished the parish of St. Pancras, is equally a disgrace to the guardians and the ratepayers. The Extirpation of Beggars. It has long been an acknowledged truth that the beggars who so piteously intreat our assistance in the streets are generally the very last class who either require or deserve it. It is only lately, however, that any serious general effort has been made to check an extensive evil, one that injures the really-deserving poor as well as defrauds the giver and encourages the worthless. The fifty-second annual meeting of the society for the Suppression of Mendicity pro duced some valuable statistics, from whiCh it appeared that the begging-letter system is largely on the increase, and the numbers may be guessed from the fact that the society received, in the course of the year, 3,100 letters for investiga tion, compared with 2,444 of the previous year. The number of vagrants apprehended was 574 2 of whom 300 were committed to prison, and the remainder dis charged. These, again, have increased in number since last year, so there is ample need for vigorous action. There is a new mendicity society, with which the old association proposes to coalesce, in order to pre vent their interests clashing. The system adopted is in every case to give tickets to applicants for relief instead of money or food. These tickets must be taken to one of the society's offices, where inquiry is made. Meals, money, and clothing are given if the case proves deserving. V Vagrants, as we have seen, are prose cuted, and every case is treated on its merits. Mr. Martyr Hart writes a letter to the Times on this subject, giving us the results of the famous Black heath experiment. In eighteen months the beggars have been got rid of, while a similar method. in Dorsetshire has produced similar effects, the work house vagrant returns sheaving a decrease of two-fifths in the worst quarter of the year. In Bristol £16,000 a year is bestowed upon beggars. Mr. Hart very justly asks how many emigrant passages this would pay, and how many deserving poor would it send upon their way of life rejoicing ? Women's Rights in India. Bengal is not exactly the place in which we should look for an energetic movement in favour of Women's Rights. Yet we find the Hindoo ladies actually inaugurating careers which even their enterprising feminine contemporaries in the great Western con tinent have not yet thought of. We learn from the Times of India that a vernacular paper has been started under the name of Bungo Mohila, or the "Girl of Bengal," and this Girl of Bengal is, wonderful to relate, edited by a Hindoo lady ! While we were all deploring the deficiency of female education in India, and the uselessness and vacuity of feminine life in Be ng al, here is incontrover tible evidence that some at least of the fair Bengalese can see through their veils. Still more remarkable is the ambition of another Hindoo dame, who, find ing the monotony of ordinary life insupportable, has turned Dacoit or highwayman. At the head of a gang, whose movements she directed personally, she has acquired considerable property in the Soonderbunds, and taught the country people to fear her name. Evidently there is a spare field for feminine energies, which has not yet been properly explored. It is much to be regretted, in the cause of progress, that the Bengal police have put a stop to so interesting and useful an experiment. Enoch in Search of a Wife. We have read of " Japhet in search of a father," " Caleb in search of a son," and many other curious searches, but they are certainly eclipsed by Mr. Enoch Bailey's " search after a wife. Enoch originally hailed from Sutton As field in the county of Notts, but some years since crossed, as the Yankees playfully term it, the " herring pond" and found himself deposited in Massachusetts. Like a sensible man, too, he married, and became blessed with five children. Unhappily for Enoch, however, he lost his "right arm," as he describes his late wife, and now seeks to replace it from the land of his birth. The means he adopts are, however, unique, and worthy of notice. He remembers that in England he had seen plenty of women who would be kind to children, and would like to come to America, and therefore he writes to the chairman of the Mansfield Board of Guardians to send him out from among the paupers a good moral woman about 30. Ile gives references as to character, and makes his promise in terms that althost guarantee his honesty. Such a one, he adds, " would be provided with a good home and a kind and affectionate family, and I pledge my word I would try to make her life such that she would never repent trusting to the honour of a stranger. Please answer this soon, as I feel that good will come of it." May Enoch Bailey find that in trusting his future happiness to a board of guar dians he has not been the victim of misplaced confidence, and that the good he anticipates may "come of it." Enlightened Criticism. The Daily News wonders whether any answer to the question often asked about the Conservative leadership is to be found in the extraordinary article on " Lothair" in the current number of Blackwood. The critic attacks the ex-Premier's romance with a vehemence of which our contemporary thinks there are few literary precedents. Lothair, according to the verdict of Maga, is " more extravagant than the romances of the London Jour nal, and, in point of art, on a level with the drop scene of a provincial theatre." Its pictures of high life are likened to the "gin-inspired dreams of the assistant of some fashionable haberdasher, who enjoys glimpses of great houses and great people when he goes out with the goods." . After this, it is not surprising to be told that when the member for Buckinghamshire addresses the House, the audience will be listening for the tinkle of bells, Possibly Mr, Disraeli may be consoled to PRICE Id. STAMPED 2d. find that his illustrious rival fares no better, but that the critic (is he one of those "who have failed in literature and art? ") thinks the two Parliamentary chieftains are after all better employed in writing dull and foolish books, than in pelting each other with fragments of the Constitution. The Daily News, criticising the critic, wants to know whether Disraeli is to be discarded like Canning, Peel, and every other man of high capacity who has served the Tory party. If so, the Conservatives will have a good deal more reason to regret the severance than the brilliant author of "Lothair." Lands" Adjoining the Suez Canal. The Khedive has authorised the sale of lands ad joining the Suez Maritime Canal, in com mon with other lands belonging to the Egyptian Government, it being understood that the proceeds derived from such sales shall be divided between the Egyptian Government and the Suez Canal Company. Mr. Lange, who sends this information, says that the convention now con cluded is of the highest financial value to the Govern ment of Egypt and the Company. Previous conces sions of 83,400 square metres gave an immediate return of £170,800. It is difficult, he adds, to tell what the value of the whole will be, but it is estimated at four millions sterling. THE DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROME, May 21st. Bands are still cropping up in every part of Italy, and especially in the Marremma, Emilia, Ravenna, and the Abruzzi. Ricciotti Garibaldi has returned to Caprera, where three vessels of war have been sent to watch the land, and prevent his escape. Ho has, however, left a large body of picked and trained men in Calabria, and they have dispersed into the moun tains to organise the population who are friendly to any project which promises to give them their autonomy. The public and privabe information of every party, save that of the Ministry, accord in saying that the movement will go on at intervals till• the moment has arrived for serious action in the great towns. The Zouaves sent on patrol duty on the Viterban frontier report all quiet, but numbers of young men of the Tuscan side of the line are enrolling for Garibaldi, and red shirts are being made in all the villages. No leave of absence, however, to the Pontifical officers will be given at present ; and the Legion of Antibes is to be raised to 2,400. Its Colonel, M. Perreaux, has, with the concurrence of the Pontifical War Office, addressed a circular to the French Catholics asking for a new and choice recruitment. ROME, May 23. What I said before regarding the increase and im portance of the party of action is more than confirmed by the despatches received an hour ago at the Pontifical War Office, from the outpost companies of Zouaves sent to re connoitre the frontier of Viterbo, and from the Italian villages within the Tuscan boundaries. Another large and well-armed band of Garibaldians has appeared at Acquafredda in the Maremma, and others are announced from Rieti and Reggio di Emilia. Menotti Garibaldi has addressed the following letter to the Gazettino Rosa, the most violent organ of the Mazzinian party, which proves the complicity of the Calabrian people with the insurrection : " DEAR BIZZANI,—I see by your valuable journal of the 11th May, that you have noticed some words of Lanza's regarding me ; as you may well imagine I do not accept the praises of the ministerial gendarme. " I gave my advice against the movement as soon as I knew it was projected, because I did not think the moment for action had yet arrived ; but I was certainly incapable of offering my support to the most disgusting of all governments the Italian Govern ment. I offered my arm to the Syndic of Catan zaro, when I saw the city seized with a panic at the idea of the prisoners, seven hundred in number, and among whom there were many brigands, being set at liberty, and I am able to assure you that of the persons present at the meeting, the idea of supporting the Government was utterly rejected, and the Syndic merely said a word or two advising the city to remain quiet and not `pronounce' till the great Italian cities had given the example. All present, however, protested in favour of their liberty of action in political matters.—Accept a fraternal adieu from yours ever, " MENOTTI GARIBALDI. Catanzaro, May 14." It is evident that nothing save fear of failure and of not being in harmony and coincident with an exterior and powerful movement in the cities of Upper Italy, prevents the citizens of Catanzaro from proclaiming the Republic on the spot,and this assertion of Menotti's perfectly coincides with our owninformation from a source admirablyversed in political matters, in Southern Italy. It is also evident that the pldbiscite was not considered a necessary element of success. Had it turned in a republican direction, it would of course have hastened matters, but the elements of discontent in Italy are sufficient to found a general movement on without exterior causes. Had it been otherwise, the guerilla bands would have been at once recalled by chiefs, instead of increasing daily in numbers, and covering the country with a network of insur rectionary movements, which have the double effect of alarming the population and paralysing the action of Government, especially in the great towns. To draw large bodies of troops from these to the country, and so facilitate a general outbreak in the cities, is the present object of the movement. The defection of large numbers of the Italian troops is also relied on, and not without reason, the food and pay of the army being of the worst description, and the conscription most repugnant to the ideas and habits of the people of the Central and Southern pro vinces especially. The decisions of the Council will pro bably be considerably hastened by the movement in Italy. The bishops are all anxious to return to their sees, and to close the debates at latest by the festival of SS. Peter and Paul. The Minister of War, General Rausler, has taken dis positions in case of a sudden movement, and has divided the city into four zones or military divisions, each corn municating with St. Angelo as their centre of operations. The recruitment of the Legion and of the Zouaves has received fresh impetus, and a number of young men of noble families are once more arriving for enlistment in both corps as well as in the Artillery. Menotti Garibaldi has published a letter addressed to a Bolognese journal in which he maintains that Lanza told a falsehood when he represented him as the paladin of Victor Emmanuel's Government, at the same time he had him watched by the police and guards were stationed round his house for three days. Menotti says he has no need to make his profession of Republicanism. He may regret the excessive impatience of generous youth, but he would never take up arms against them more especially for that collection of robbers and canailles that is called the Italian Government. A Parliamentary return issued yesterday of fees received in stamps and payments formerly charged on the Fund account, Superior Courts of Common Law, states that during the year ending 31st March, the receipts for the Queen's Bench department were £30,392 35., being a net decrease of £4,400 18s. 6d. as compared with the pre vious year ; for the Common Pleas, £26,157 125., shewing a net decrease of £673 18s. Gd.; for the Exchequer, £35,111 16s. 5d., shewing a net increase of £2,635 12s. 3d. The three courts jointly received £91,598 11s. sd. for the year, as against £94,097 16s. 2d. in the previous year. _ SERIOUS CARRIAGE AC CIDENT. A carriage accident occurred on Sunday night at Cardiff, the details of which are of a remarkakly singular description. A Mr. Cornwall, butcher, of James-street, was, in company with his wife, driving down Bute-street in a light two wheeled gig, going in the direction of the docks, when, just as they were passing the Fishguard Arms public-house, the horse stumbled and fell, the unexpected collision of the shafts with the pavement having the effect of throwing both Mr. and Mrs. Cornwall bodily into the road. The animal, without any aid, then got up and dashed against the shop shutters of Mr. James, druggist, at the corner of Whit more-lane, where it again came to the ground. Gaining its feet a second time, it galloped furiously along the footpath on the west side of Bute-street. Several persons had marvellous escapes. Two young men observing the frightened animal close upon them , and conscious of their imminent peril, cleared the railings at one bound, and alighted in the middle of the road on their backs, sustain ing a severe shaking. Another person, a Mr. Thomas, just as the mad creature came flying past backed into one of the openings to the steps which lead from the raised footway into the street; but a moment too late, and a wheel of the vehicle passed over her foot. She was taken home in cab. When the horse was near the Freemasons' Hotelamanwho was crossing was knocked down and run over. He was seriously injured. Turning down West Bute street the animal pursued. its frantic course into Jesam street, where, rushing against a canal wall, it was brought to a stand-still having during its dangerous journey received several fractures. It is said Mr. Cornwall is not much the worse for the accident; but that his wife had her face kicked,—Western ~~
