It is incomparably superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone ormuscle.

RUMOURED ENGAGEMENT OF LORD CHARLES HAMILTON IN THE PRUSSIAN SERVICE.—A Paris COTTeS pondent tnentions a rumour that Lord Charles Hamilton has enlisted in a Prussian cavalry regiment. - - THE EDUCATION BILL.—The Glasgow Daily Mail, in a leader on the Education Bill says—" On the whole the measures must be regarded as merely tenative. It has not settled any of the difficult questions at issue, but has merely laid the foundation_ of a system which will inevitably give rise to a great deal of agitation in future." A SERIOUS OFFENCE. —At Northumberland Assizes a soldier has been sentenced to five years' penal servitude for attempting to upset a railway train on Good Friday. He had placed fire-bricks, stones, and wood upon the' rails as an excursion train was going from New castle to Tynemouth. The train sustained a shock, but was not thrown off the rails. The judge spoke of the enormity of the offence, and said that had anyone bean killed the prisoner must have paid the penalty with his life. Amongst the members who voted with Lord Augustus Hervey in the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon, and supported his proposal that a parliamen tary grant should not be given to a school unless the Holy Scriptures were daily used therein, were Mr. Adderley, Dr. Ball, Mr. Hardy, Si r J o h n Hay, Mr. Henley, Sir John Pakington, Colonel Barttelot, Sir M. Beach, Cap tain Grosvenor Lord Claud Hamilton, Lord C. J• Hamilton, Mr. Newdegate, Colonel North, Earl Percy, Viscount Sandon, and Mr. W. H. Smith. Mr. Motley's recall the Cosmopolitan pronounces " a public insult and a personal injury." " Mr. Motley," our contemporary adds, " has b een infamously ill-used both at Vienna and at London.' Scarcely has he got well settled in a fine mansion that does credit to the Embassy, and where he has been robbed to the tune of $15,000, when he is ordered to pack and give place to a gentleman from New Jersey, whose father once ran on the Clay ticket for the Vice-Presidency. And this is all the public —on this side of the Atlantic at least—know of Mr. Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen." Now that the contest for the Queen's Prize has been decided, the chief interest at Wimbledon centres in the review of Saturday next. A flying column, con sisting of a battery of Horse Artillery, the 7th Dragoon Guards, a battery of Field Artillery, a section of the Royal Engineer Train, a company of, Engineers, the 2nd Battalion 13th Light Infantry, 33rd Regiment, 42nd Highlanders, and 4th Battalion 60th • Rifles, leave Alder shot to-day for Wimbledon. The column will return to Aldershot next week. The troops will march in the same manner as if in an enemy's country. Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., S I•L VI A.

BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 3s. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, .the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expi 'ring. For intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender a book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. " It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." —Sun • " Fjord, J sle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. " Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers- all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man cheater Courier. " From back to back ' Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well ' got up.' " Eastern Morning News. " We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. " The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full nt genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

Wthsori, newsagent, and special agent for the North-western District, 24, Delancey-street, Camden town, N W GAME LAWS ABOLITION. The debate on the previous question, proposed on the second reading of this bill, on the 25th May, was resumed by Mr. M`Lagan, the member for Linlithgowshire. The hon. gentlemen supported the measure, but while he maintained that the excessive preservation of game was caused by the Game Laws, and that game did damage to crops, he admitted that legitimate sport was necessary for the health of the community.—Mr. C. S. Read, the member for South Norfolk, declared that there was no country, however savage or however republican, which did not adopt some sort of game law, and he be lieved that the game laws which existed in this country welb not more oppressive, and were not, in fact, so stringent, as were the laws on the other side of the Atlantic. He believed that what the farmers of England and Scotland wanted was that the over-preservation of hares and rabbits should be pre vented, and that such game should be killed at all hours, day or night, at any season of the year. The hon. member for Leicester (Mr. Taylor), who had introduced the bill, had said thal the game laws had demoralised the labourer. He agreed with the hon. gentleman, but he wished to dispossess hon. members of the- common idea of a poacher. The modern poacher was not to be found on the game pre serving estates, but in the adjoining village or town where there was a band of ,lawless, dissolute, drunken black guards, who, if they did not poach, would do something perhaps worse. There was another cause of demoralisa tion, and it was this : that the man who occupied a game farm was invariably a poor half-broken man, who had not the means at command to constantly employ the labourers, and therefore there was a lot of young fellows who lived i n enforced idleness, which led to evil courses. In the next place the game keepers were recruited from the very lowest class, and reformed poachers. He believed that if the landlords trusted their tenants more and the gamekeepers less, and followed the example of the representative of Dorsetshire there would be no more complaint from the tenant farmer as to the injurious operation of the Game Laws. The only practical solution was this : the law gave the tenant the right to the game, and he invariably turned it over to his landlord, but for the general interest it was necessary that Parliament should prevent the former from entirely surrendering his rights to the latter ; there should be a joint right between landlord and occupier for killing hares and rabbits. Mr. Tillett, the new member for Norwich, made his maiden speech. He .attacked the Game Laws, and suggested that hares and rabbits should be taken out of the scope of the laws. There was no desire, he contended, on the part of the farmers to deprive the gentry of proper sport. On the contrary, they wished their landlords to pass as much time as they could in the neighbourhood of their estates. But at the same time sport ought not to be indulged in to an extent which was ruinous to the tenant farmer. His opinion was that the game laws demoralised numbers of the population of the rural districts, and that many of the graver crimes took their origin in what might be con sidered an excusable transgression.—Sir Henry Hoare strongly condemned the over-preservation of game and advocated the abolition of the game laws so far as re garded hares and rabbits. He had no objection to their total abolition, but then it would be necessary to render the trespass law more stringent.—Mr. Herman, the representative of Preston, thought that when landlords became almost dealers in poultry the tenant had a right to complain. He should be glad to see some clause intro duced which would have the effect of compensating the farmers for the breeding and feeding of hares on their land and he would make it a rule that when ever any proprietor preserved hares to the enormous extent they were cultivated in some parts of the country, he should either leave them as a gift to the farmer or, if he choose to send them to market, he should pay 2s. for every hare and 6d. for every rabbit. He thought this would soon have the effect of bringing down the preservation of game.—Mr. Anderson declared that the game laws were in such a muddle that the best way would be to abolish them altogether.—Mr. M. T. Bass argued that the bill dealt with property, and remarked that a large portion of the tenantry of Scotland were de pendent upon game. He believed it was no exaggeration to say that the shooting of Scotland would let at something like £lOO,OOO a year, and yet no compensation was offered. It was argued that the welfare of the country demanded that the ground game should be destroyed, but really if they were to carry that theory to its natural conclusion, they should destroy anything which did not contribute to profitableness. He did not think public opinion was against a proper game law. On the contrary, he was persuaded that if they were to poll the tenant farmers, the majority being protected against an excessive preserva tion of game,would vote for the continuance of proper legal restrictions. If the principle were carried out they might as well interfere with ornamental grounds and gardens, and say that a man should not build a house larger than was necessary for the actual wants of his family.—The Lord Advocate condemned the principle on the same ground as the member for Derby. In short, they would introduce sumptuary laws. The Bill stated that the wild animal had multiplied to such an extent as to be injurious to the cultivators of the soil, but he imagined that if they repealed the game Act there would be a marked multiplication, tothe injury of the cultivators of the soil, of those idle, dissolute, and lawless vagabonds referred to. It might be that the poaching acts were too severe, but they should mitigate their severity and leave them just sufficient for the pur pose of establishing and recognising the rights of property against such depredations as had been alluded to in the course of the debate. It might be said that if the game laws were repealed poaching would cease. Cer tainly one way of putting an end to transgression was to put an end to the law ; where there was no law there was no transgression, but he said that was not a satisfactory way of getting rid of crime.— Mr. Taylor having replied, the House divided on the question " that the question be now put," and the result was—ayes 59, noes 147. There was a majority of 88 against the bill. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES' ACT (1866-1867) REPEAL BILL. The adjourned debate on asking leave to intro duce this bill was about to be resumed when Mr. CRAUFURD said he observed " strangers" present whereupon they were ordered to withdraw, reporters not excepted, and the proceedings on the bill were carried on with closed doors. The reporters were not admitted until a quarter to six, when the House was found to be in committee on the Shipping Dues Exemption Act (1867) Amendment Bill. The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the bill was reported without amendment. The Annuity Tax Abolition Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The House adjourned at ten minutes to six. The Liverpool Courier states that, after careful inquiry, it has come to the conclusion that the story of the affray between French and German clerks in a mer cantile office in Liverpool was a hoax. The Guardian says:—"lt is highly probable—but we should much like to be sure on the subject—that there is no member of Oxford or Cambridge now living who took his degree in the last century. We faucy that one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Oxonian now living is the Right Hon. Stephen Lushington, D.C.L., formerly Fellow of All Souls', who took his Bachelor's degree in the year 1802. The death is announced of Mr. John Williams, the editor of the Cambrian newspaper, the first newspaper published in Wales, which was started in 1804, and bought by Mr. Williams in 1823. Since that time Mr. Williams has been its managing editor, and was regarded as the father of the newspaper press in Wales.. Although 82 years of age his memory and mental powers were as vigorous as ever, and until within a few hours of his death he was engaged in correcting proofs. A. Cork correspondent telegraphs that John Gleeson was again put on his trial Wednesday at Clonmel for the murder of the land bailiff Kirwan. The evidence was the same as at the former trial. Mr. Justice Lawson expressly told the jury that no provocation was shewn sufficient to reduce the crime to manslaughter. The jury, however, returned a verdict of manslaughter, which was received with loud applause in court. The prisoner was sentenced to penal servitude for life. The sentence ex cited much surprise. JULY 21, 1870. LITERATUEE. NEW BOOKS. Foot-prints of Former Men in Far Cornwall. By R. S. Hawker, Vicar of Morwenstowe. This is a very charming book of tales and sketches of Cornish life and people, written by one who knows them as well as, perhaps better than, any man living. For just a generation Mr. Hawker has lived in that romantic par sonage on the cliff which the sea laves gently in the soft summer time, but against which it breaks with awful fury in the season of storms, as the splinters of many a gallant ship and the battered corpse of many a stalwart man cast up upon these rocks can testify. The chapter headed, " The Remembrances of a Cornish Vicar " are full of sad tales of the sea, some of themwith romantic accompaniments. It was a . troublesome people that Mr. Hawker had to do with when he first went to Morwenstowe. They were " A mixed multitude of smugglers, wreckers, and (the climax is Mr. Hawker's) dissenters of various hue. A few simple-hearted farmers had clung to the gray old sanctuary of the church and the tower that looked along the - sea ; but the bulk of the -people in the absence of ! a resident vicar, had become the followers of the great preacher of the last century who came down into Corn wall and persuaded the people to alter their sins." A little spiteful that last hit; butit-is the only spiteful word in the book. The new vicar, like the Kenite of old, " built its nest upon the rock." What Cornish tourist does not know the vicarage, and has not had a hospitable welcome from its master, the very type of an English country clergyman, as his parish would seem to be the very type of an English country living ? There its incum bent has graven in letters of stone upon the walls of his house his own words " A house, a glebe, and a pound a day ; A pleasant place to watch and pray ; Be true to the Church and kind to the poor, 0 Minister, for evermore." It was thither that there came to him some short time after he had built his house sad news ; "there are dead men on Vicarage Rocks." The vicar rushed out in dressing gown and slippers, and saw the bay tossing and seething with a tangled mass of rigging, sails, and broken fragments of a ship, while the billows rolled up yellow with corn, and ever and anon there came up out of the water, as though stretched out with life, a human hand and arm. There was more than one corpse, and as the vicar gazed on them, there was a faint cry. It came from a sailor stretched out by the side of a stream of water, too faint to drink. He opened his eyes at the sound of voices, and seeing the cassock-shaped dressing gown of the vicar, sobbed with a piteous cry, "Oh mon pere, mon pere." He revived at length, and then came the sad task of finding his mates. Days were spent in discovering them ; all were found ; he alone had escaped alive ; he alone was present at their funeral in the sea-side churchyard ;he alone returned thanks in the venerable old church that has stood from Saxon times. Twice has he been wrecked since with loss of everything, but he still pursues his calling. The greater part of Mr. Hawker's sketches refer to former times, That about Antony Payne is one of the best. He was a giant in the days of Sir Beville Gran ville, and was Sir Beville's retainer. He stood 7 feet 2 inches without his shoes. Nowadays he would have been carried around the country and shewn to gaping rustles. In those times giants were turned to better account. An tony was the leader in sports and in the chase. He em bowelled and flayed the hunted deer and carried the carcase on his own shoulders to the hall where he re ceived as his guerdon the horns and the hide. It was ; ,he who taught his master's sons to shoot, to fish, and to handle arms. One winter's day his master's wifo the Lady Grace was cold, for the people who had gone to gather wood had not returned. Antony went off and soon returned bringing on his shoulders the ass and its burden of faggots. He fought with his master against the Earl of Stamford and the Parliamentary army at Stamford Hill, and shared the Royalist victory of that day. He fought also with his master at Lansdowne, and saw the B4ard of old Cornwall stricken down ; a sorrow ful sight, yet scarcely so sorrowful as the task which he had before him—writing to the Lady Grace to tell her of her loss. No more touching letter was ever-written by servant to his mistress. " I am coming down with the mournfullest load that ever a poor servant did bear, to bring the great heart that is cold to Kilkhampton vault. Oh !my lady, how shall I ever brook your weeping face? But I will be truthful to the living and to the dead. These, Madam, from thy saddest, truest servant, ANTONY PAYNE." Years later, when Mary and William were on the throne, and the garrison at Plymouth were turning the anniver sary of the execution of Charles I. into ridicule by serving a calf's head in a " William and Mary " dish of Dutch ware, Payne took the dish and its contents and hurled them out of window, and then, a challenge ensuing, he fought his challenger, and ran him through the sword-arm saying " There's sauce for thy calf's head." "After his death neither the door nor the stairs would afford egress for the large and coffined corpse. The joists had to be sawn through, and the floor lowered with rope and pulley to enable the giant to pass out towards his mighty grave. 'Relays of strong bier-men carried him to his rest, and the bells of the tower, by his own express desire, chimed him home.'. He was buried outside the southern wall of Stratton church. When the writer was a boy, the sexton one day broke by accident through the side wall of a vast, but empty, sepulchre. Many went to see the sight, and there, marked by a stone in the wall, was a vault like the tomb of the Anakim i large enough in these days for the interment of three or four of our degenerate dead. But it was empty, desolate, and bare. No mam moth bones, nor mysterious relics of the unknown dead. A massive heap of silent dust ! " The Queen has been pleased to nominate James Robert Longden, Esq. (now Lieutenant-Governor of the colony of British Honduras), to be appointed Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the island of Trinidad. — Gazette. In the case of the recent collision at Sydenham, a verdict of Manslaughter has been returned against James Monk, the driver of the Croydon train, who disre- Carded the signals, and put on steam so as to clear the rystal Palace train. A. correspondent writes :—" A. clergyman in a suburban church said last Sunday evening in his sermon, "I' am sorry to see that among those appointed to revise the translation of the Bible there is a Socinian. I wonder they did not ask Satan himself to join them."—Pall Mall Gazette. The Crocodile arrived at Portsmouth on Tuesday, from Quebec, with Prince Arthur on board. His Royal Highness immediately proceeded to Osborne on hoard her Majesty's yacht Alberta, and was met at the Trinity Pier, East Cowes, by the Queen and the Princesses Louise and Beatrice. At the Birmingham Public Office on Tuesday, a man, who gave the name of Fernano du Bois, was charged before the Stipendiary Magistrate with obtaining £54 from the Town and District Banking Company by means of forged cheques. The prisoner, who alleged that he was the dupe of some persons unknown, was committed for trial at the assizes. At the Southwark Police-court on Tuesday John Chard, who joined in the disgraceful assault in a railway carriage, was sentenced to a month's imprisonment with hard labour. At the same Court a watchman in the employment of Colonel Beresford, M.P., was fined forty shillings for allowing a ferocious dog to be at large. The Home Secretary, under pressure of an appli cation from Mr. M`Carthy Downing, has directed that the Fenian convicts undergoingimprisonment, and in view of the inquiry now being. held by the Commissioners, should be furnished with extracts of the reports and copies of the record of punishment awarded against them. For a long period these have been refused. MR. CHARLES DICKENS' WILL.—The will of Mr. Charles Dickens was proved yesterday in Doctors'- commons by his executors. The perSonalty is sworn under .EBO,OOO. The document is in his own handwriting, and the penmanship is clear and distinct. The signature at the end of the will is written with a firmness and decision few men can assume when they put their name to the " last deed of all." There is a codicil to the will, which bequeaths to Mr. Dickens, jun., his son, his interest in "All the Year Round," and other things in which the testator had an interest, subject, of course, to the payment of what ever debts and caarges there may have been on the paper in question and the stock. Mit. DICKENS'S FAMILY.—Though so much has been written and said about Charles Dickens, it may not be generally known that he had ten children, two only of whom are dead. Two were daughters—one of whim is Mrs. C. A. Collins, and the other unmarried. Of the six sons, the eldest conducts All the Year Round, and has made a few efforts in various maga zines; one, the youngest, is still at College ; one is in the navy two are sheep-farming in Australia, and one is in India. Those who know Millais's picture of " The " Black 'Brimswicker," may be interested to know that the lady there depicted is a good likeness of Mrs. Charles Collins.—London Figaro. PRICE Id STAMPED 2d THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. The importance of the event decided on Tuesday will be a sufficient excuse for again briefly alluding to it. The score made by Private Humphreys, of the 6th Surrey, is certainly not such a large one as it was expected would be recorded for the Queen's Prize, judging by the results of the previous contests at this meeting, but when the subject is considered more fully, and it is remembered that 66 has only_ twice been exceeded, we fancy there is little ground for disappointment. Corporal _Cameron, of the Gth Inverness, last year made 71, which was the highest score recorded, and the same shot- who won the _prize _three years before, that did so with a total of 69. These are the only occasions upon which the score of Hnmphreys has been exceeded, and the rate at which the small bore shooting has im proved is clearly testified, for, with - the same system of marking only eight years ago, the winner only succeeded in making - a total of 44 marks. Humphreys, we under stand, though previously he has not been in prominent position at Wimbledon, is looked upon at Esher, where he resides, as a first-class Enfield shot, but up to this has had little or no experience with small bore arms. His success against many practised hands is therefore the more creditable to him, and seldom, if ever, has a winner been greeted with a more genuine burst of en thusiasm than he was yesterday, when the result of the shooting became known. Yesterday the heat was most oppressive, and the sun poured down its rays with an intensity which has not been experienced throughout the present meeting. The ther mometer at noon stood at 121 degrees in the sun, and thole who were compelled to be at the firing points must had a fearfully hot time of it. In the shade the ther mometer registered 83 degrees. The most important contest of he day was the Interna tional Match for the Elcho shield. This was shot for by eight men from England, Scotland and Ireland. The English team won the Enfield Match, Scotland being second, and Ireland third. Yesterday's match was to test the capabilities of the different countries with the small bore rifles. With regard to the review which takes place on Satur day, every preparation is being made to ensure its success. On Saturday, previous to the review, the Princess of Teek will distribute the prizes, and the interesting event will most certainly attract a good company to the ground.

GLADSTONE.—We are happy to learn that the cause of Mr. Gladstone's absence from the House of Commons on Tuesday evening was only a slight cold. Although it was considered desirable that he should keep the house, he was not confined to his room. PLYMOUTH AND THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT --Mr. Bulteel, of Devonport, president of the Plymouth Town Mission, has published some remarkable evidence as to the working of the Contagious Diseases Act in that important district. During thirty years veluntary effort had only succeeded in inducing an annual average of 16 girls to enter the reformatory which has long existed there. By the aid of the money grants under this Act, and by the influence of the exertions of the chaplains to Royal Albert Hospital, who are now enabled advantageously to exert themselves in rescuing women from a life of sin and shame, 211 women have entered homes or penitentiaries 690 have been sent home to their friends, and 162 have been married, making a total of 1,063 since 1964. The number of public women has been diminished from 2,000t0 about 600 ; and the number of houses of ill-fame from 410 in 1864 to' 210 at present. He testifies also to the useful exertions of the officers under this Act in warning and sending home young girls on the point of recruiting this army of vice, whom they have found in houses of ill repute. Mr. Bulteel, who is a very active supporter of missionary efforts, and has closely watched the working of these Acts, is shocked at the "shame ful misrepresentations " of those who conduct the opposition to them, in which he regre t s t o fi nd " many good but mistaken Christians associated with practical infidels and advocates of the worst vices of French society." Mr. Bulteel is by no means a one-sided advo cate, for he points out defects in the Acts with a great deal of acumen and impartiality, —Pall Mall Gazette.
