Office, 121, Pallmall, ENV; The mission which "Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a mE-ans, in the simplest and readiest of forms, that of the alphabet, to find their way, safely and easily, over the whole world. The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870, is a guarantee for 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 spedial 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 E iitor's 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 publication. A valuable addition will be a FOREIGN PORTS' DIRECTORY, containing the names of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Coil 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 homeward 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 Hole], London.

PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appointment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, M o ORGATE-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 tho 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 restored—mastication and arti culation guaranteed. 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 Royal Polytechnic; and 23, Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office. ENGLISH SEATS. Parties are already moving in East Suffolk. It is expected that Sir A. Shafto Adair, who fought Antrim unsuccessfully a little while ago, will make an attempt to succeed the Hon. Henniker Major. A meeting of the Liberal party will be held on Monday to make final arrangements. The Conservative candidate is not yet announced. 'There is likely to be a lively competition for the seats which the disfranchisement of Beverley and Bridgwater will leave undisposed of—albeit the mea sure for extinguishing the two corrupt boroughs makes no provision for the redistribution of their privileges. Luton thinks itself entitled to one seat, so does Torquay and Dublin. Southport, in Lan cashire, also presents itself as a candidate. It is represented that the number of inhabitants in 1851 was 4,675, but during the next ten years, as appeared from the census of 1861, it had risen to 8,940. At the present time Southport, with Birk dale Park, contains a population of 20,000, and the rateable value is about £90,000. IRISH SEATS. There are now four Irish seats open to the enter prise of would-be legislators. In Mayo a vacancy has just been caused through the death of Mr. G. H. Moore; at Dublin the writ for one mem ber is suspended; in Longford, Mr. Reginald Greville Nugent has been unseated; and Mallow Las lost Mr. Munster in like manner. At the two latter places electioneering is going on with greac activity. Major Knox is again in the field, opposed by Mr. Waters, Q.C. Mr. Waters is on the spot, and busy waking a canvass of the electors. For Longford, Mr, King• Harnian, lira' "Tory-Nationalist / 1 candidate; .. ilie'i: treinely active—going from place to place, and speak ing at each the same set speech with which he opened the campaign. As yet there are no evidences of enthusiasm' among the " National " party in his favour—nothing like the fervour with which Mr. Martin's candidature was taken up whilst he was in America. THE MINES REGULATION BILL. The Amalgamated Association of Miners assembled in conference at Wrexham have condemned Mr. Bruce's bill for the regulation of mines. It is not stringent enough, they declare. Better enactments as to the labour and education of children ought to be . provided. The provision for the inspection of mines is also considered bad. Practical men ought to be appointed as inspectors, and the number ought to be gr ea t er . One delegate said he had been a miner for upwards of twenty - nine years, and during the whole of that time he had never seen an inspector in any colliery he had been connected with. ' SOCIAL PROGRESS AT NEWBURY. At the Newbury Quarter Sessions there were no prisoners for trial, and the Recorder was accord ingly presented with a pair of white gloves. This con dition of Newbury bliss, however, is not without alloy. By way of assuring the Recorder that the borough was not getting too good, the foreman of the grand jury read a presentment deploring the prevalence of drink in the neighbourhood. New bury possesses a population of o nl y 6,161, an d yet it contains more than sixty licensed houses, one f or ever y hundred people, small and great. This horrifies the jury, white gloves notwithstanding ; and well it may. They de clare that the law is systematically disregarded, more especially in the sale of liquor during pro hibited hours. They desire better laws, and a reduc tion in th e number oflicences , licences, and in the hours during which drink may be sold on Sundays. The Recorder said that much more might be done with the existing law, if it were properly enforced, STATE OF TRADE. The com ing of the present number of the Finan c i er a fter a long dull period, is like to the coming of the early spring, or to an angel's visit, if, w ithout too great an effort, we may imagine anything angelic in the commercial world. But let us go from fancy to fact. Trade is improving. The Financier tells us that advices from the provinces have not been so favourable for a long time past. From Newcastle-upon-Tyne there are more goods ready than some of the lines of steamers can get across to the Continent, while the c is arr i y n in su g ch co a als sa t t o isf N ac e t w or c y as s t t l a e te ” must be looked upon as effete. From the various t h h o a u t s e t h h o e l 'id d c a o g a e l t o r f a de a seats of the iron trade we receive the woollen tsearma all activity i c tidyauintylld. Bradford grati fying assurances, both in regard to the raw and the manu factured article.

At Manchester there are some rather able. large contracts in hand. The Nottingham lace and Huddersfield cloth trades are also looking up. In Continental and American orders,. too, there is a slight improvement. Everything in fact is lively but the Birmingham gun trade, a circumstance we pre sume more particularly inauspicious to the Fenians. THE ANTI-VACCINATION MOVEMENT. The vaccination question seems far from being satis factorily settled, even though the disciples of Dr. Jen ner may find powerful arguments in the prevalence of the epidemic in Paris. Unfortunately the renewal of the discussion among ourselves has not been harm less. There is always a lingering prejudice against vaccination among the lower classes, and they quickly catch up the arguments they hear put forward, and cite the instances of bad health attributed (rightly or wrongly) to vaccination. Four cases of parental ob stinacy in this respect have been brought before Mr. Mansfield at the Marylebone Police-court. The first summons was against a labouring man, who stoutly refused to allow his child to be vaccinated, as it was quite well and he wished to keep it so. His other child had died from vaccination, and he had a certificate to that effect. Mr. Mans field said he had a child of his own, and if any one offered him a thousand pounds not to have it vacci nated he would throw it in his face, as he thought he should by accepting it be a consenting party to its deatli, He regretted the )4openeiLlat_ely ,talked BISHOP FRASER ON THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The Bishop of Manchester, at the annual meeting of the Diocesan Church-Building Society, over which he presided, referred to the • present and ' future of the Church of England. He • said he proposed to build on the old foundations, where those foundations had been solidly and wisely laid. He pointed .out that the strength df the Church would be found in her working, not for the people, but with the people, not set ting herself, in the persons of her minis ters, against the mighty current of public opinion, but trying to guide it into safe channels. The clergy were, he said, a privileged class, simply that they might do a great national work, and he held that they were not the minis ters of a sect in any narrow sen se , b u t the ministers of a Church whi c h by h er Consti tution ought to bty as• wide as the empire to which they all belonged, chewing that in her tolerant bosoM every legitimate fOrm of Protestant Evangelical Christianity might find a home. HIGH CHURCH AND LOW CHURCH. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette laments that the Low Church clergy are losing their influence over the poor. Their services and their churches sadly want brighten ing up. The sermons are too long, the music is not music, and the churches are very uncom fortable. Under these circumstances it is not sur prising that "sinners in weak health holding Evan gelical opinions" find their way from the draughty church to the comfortable Dissenting chapel. Those who are physically stronger and intellectually more critical take refuge with the Ritualists, who "scorn warmth and ventilation, but throw life into the services, and give their congre gations good music." Then those who are not blessed with this world's goods are, moreover, inclined to ask the Low Church "if Heaven is only a place for pewholders." The complainant is well aware that the income derived from the pew rents is an object to men who, "in visiting the poor might be seldom out of each other's drawing-rooms." In the same way the preacher who addresses a select congregation of pew-holding grocers, never preaches against the tricks of trade, and the customers of his flock turn with disgust to Wesleyan or Ritualist. The writer, who looks at matters somewhat en nair, is, like other reformers, puzzled to suggest a remedy. His facts, however, plead strongly in favour of the free-church system. PRESBYTERIANISM AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. There exists in the English Presbyterian Church a division of opinion as to the desirability of using instrumental music in its services. The subject was dis cussed at the meeting of the Synod. Dr. John Wright, the chairman, asked the Synod to declare for liberty. He denied that there was any scriptural authority for a contrary course in reference to instrumental music. The Rev. Mr. Johnstone enlivened the discussion by observing that when h e left a quiet Scotch manse some time ago he never dreamed that he was going to join an organ playing community in England. He should rath er expect the blessing of God in connection with the use of the bagpipes, played with all the intelligent energy and natural en thusiasm of the Highlanders, than in connection with the use of mechanical contrivances played by professional musicians. The Rev. T. Alexander, of Chelsea, insisted that the confession of faith of the Presbyterian religion shut out the use, not merely of organs, but of all other forms of instrumental music. After cw 4 ,yari resolutions and amendments, a ma pity decided in favour of instrumental music. THE JESUITS ON INFALLIBILITY. Three prominent Jesuits, an Englishman, a French man, and an American, have just preached on the same subject—Papal Infallibility. They take different tactics. The English Jesuit, Father Gallwey, argues with those who fear the approaching definition as a possible error, and says with regard to the question of liberty that the present condition of " that lifeless skeleton of the ancient English Church from whose dry bones all life has been crushed out by the iron heel of Cesar, is worse than their position under the rule of the Vicar of Christ." The Frenchman, Pere Felix, who has succeeded Pere Hyacinthe at Notre Dame, takes ground not usually supposed to be favoured by Jesuits. If Pontifical Infallibility be, lie says, a truth certain and revealed, though not yet defined, what calamity can be apprehended from its promulgation? " One thing is absolutely certain, the recognition of a truth can never become a misfortune for humanity. It is not by disguising and veiling truths, but by affirming and publishing them that the nations are saved." This is a fact which Englishmen are generally more prompt to recognise than the disciples of Ignatius Loyola. The third on the list, the American, Father Clarke, of Baltimore, indulges in what on the other side of the Atlantic might be called " tall preaching." " The face of the earth" he says, " may be compl e t e ly altered. . . . The strongest empires of the present, like those of the past, may tumble. into ruins ; the roar of the British lion, which, in his pride and power, has almost girdled the earth with the carcases of the Governments he has destroyed, may be hushed in death; the American Eagle, pierced with the shafts of tyranny or treason, may fall fluttering in agony from its airy height into the dust, and die ; but Peter shall live on, speak on, judge on, in the person of his successor." CURE BETTER THAN PUNISHMENT. Exeter Hall, famous for its gatherings, has just been the scene of a very interesting asse m bly, show ing how harm on y can be evolved from social discords. Eight hundred children from the reforma tories, refuges, and ragged schools of the metro polis were formed into a choir, and the proficiency of these little wa if s an d s t rays an d pariahs of our civilisation, gathered in from the alleys and gutters, and even the prisons of London, was as surprising as it was gratifying. The statement of M. Hanbury, one of the hon. secretaries, gave satisfactory evidence of the amount of work accomplished. The twenty institutions represented by the amateur musicians present maintained 1,321 children, 800 of them being in refuges and industrial schools. What sort of chil dren they are who recruit those institutions we may learn from the following statement.—" The children belonged to several different classes, amongst which were entirely destitute children, children verging on crime, neglected children, and abandoned and degraded outcasts, girls liable to temptation,children of vicious and criminal parents, and destitute crip ples." What chance have such children, we may well ask, alone and unaided, against their surroundings? The Earl of Shaftesbury, who was the president on the occasion, seized the opportunity to make a very vigorous 'no test against secular education. "I care not," he exclaimed, "what I surrender, so that I ret a i n th e Word of God. I will surrender everything—all deno minations, all Church establishments, all institutions —every single thing—l will surrender the House of Lords—l will surrender monarchy if you will—but, by the blessing of God, we will never surrender the Bible A singular suggestion is to be made, we are told, when the Education Bill agai n comes b efore the House. It is that the "boys' beadle," a functionary whose office it is to look out vagrant and destitute boys in London, and provide for them in institutions, shall be employed in every town and city. THE DUKE OP MONTPENSIER. As might have been expected, the family of the late Don Henry of Bourbon indignantly refuse to accept the indemnity of £1,200 which has been awarded to them by the court-martial before which the Duke of Montpensier was tried. The absurdity of imposing such a penalty was the more glaring, as the Duke bad voluntarily offered compensation to the family, and his offer had been refused. Whatever punishment the Duke may have deserved, thia fine was no punishment at all. The partisans of Montpensier declare that the duel, instead of injuring his candidature to the throne, has im proved it, and that he has now a majority . of the Cortes in his favour. Both Serrano and Prim are said to be willing to support him, A cable telegram makes the following statement : —"Spanish accounts received from Cuba admit that the insurgents, after a severe engagement, succeeded in capturing Capitaino del Somo." We aro not told what were the forces on each side, nor what was the losS; but the engagement was severe. Now it is only a very few days ago since General Caballero de Rodas sent a glorious message to Madrid, announcing for the fifth and sixth time,- that the insurgents were completely " done for." Even the American Consuls were of the same opinion. They informed the Washington Government that the in sursurrection only lived as a sort of guerrilla war fare. And now we hear that the Spaniards hare suffered defeat. STRANGE PROCEEDINGS OF A FERMANAGH LANDLORD. Mr. Henry Mervin D'Arcy Irvine, of Castle Irvine, Irvinestown, County Fermanagh, has given notice to all his tenants that he will take the laud into his own posses. sion—of those who hold at will at the end of the ensuing half year, and of those who hold by lease at the expiration of their leases ; and this, although they do not owe one shilling of arrears, though his rents are all paid to the day. Mr. Irvine has also announced in tho Enniskillen press his intention to publish several letters upon political topics. A letter on the Irish Land Bit will be addressed to Mr. Gladstone ; a letter to the Earl o: Derby on Emigration; and an article on the Government of Ireland as regards the local magistracy and police. Mr. Irvine announces himself as " M.A., Queen's scholar, and Moderator T. C.D. ; superseded J. P. ; rejec ted candidate for the office of High Sheriff for twenty years by the Government; and a Conservative." INGENUITY IN SMUGGLING. A very ingenious system of smuggling, which has been tarried on for the last year in New York, has just been brought to light. Some months ago an eminent merchant in that city received an anonymous letter, stating that if he would engage to pay a thousand pounds, the writer would place in his hands information to lead to the detection of a gang of smugglers who, during the past year had succeeded in smuggling into the country silks to the value of £lOO,OOO sterling. The merchant laid this letter before the collector of the port of New York, and he handed the matter over to a clever detec tive. The detective, after some little difficulty, obtained an interview with the anonymous writer. The latter, however, was unable to supply legal evidence, but he gave the names of the parties their relations towards one another, and the bankers with whom they did business. The detective then put himself in commu nication with the bankers, and was allowed to examine the books. By their means he was at length able to discover the fraud. The manner of conducting the smuggling was, very ingenious. A man in Paris on a fictitious invoice, purporting to be of human hair of the value of 100,000 f., but really of cheap cotton goods of the value of perhaps, 5,000 f., obtained an advance of say 70,000 f. from the bankers, and then with the balance bought silk, which was sent to New York, and paid duty as cheap cotton. DISPOSAL OF OLD SHIPS OF WAR. We have been put in possession of a correspondence which has passed between the Admiralty and Mr. James Shaw, of 150, Leadenhall-street, on the methods of disposing of old ships of war and anchors. Mr. Shaw endeavoured to prove to the Admi ralty that it is a mistake to sell these ships, that if they were broken up in the yards, 750 to 1,000 shipwrights and labourers would probably be employed for the next four years. The offer he made on behalf of his firm, to guarantee a realisation in the yards of 10 per cent. more than the highest price obtainable at public auctions, would be equivalent to a saving of £IO,OOC a year, as without any difficulty £ lOO,OOO worth of old ships could be broken up in each year by using one dock only at each yard. An interview having taken place between Sir Spencer Robinson and Mr. Shaw—the latter noticing that two ships were advertised for sale, the Algiers and the Caesar, at Portsmouth, offered to take the ships where they lay, tnr , age and pay all the labour, and -he would undertake that the net result of the realisations which they would pay on the Government behalf into the Exchequer should be ten per cent. above the highest bid which they would get for these ships at public sale. After much discussion and correspondence (which, being regarded as private by the Admiralty, cannot be published) the Board eventually decided not to adopt the suggestion Mr. Shaw made.— Globe, THE POST OFFICE ROBBERY AT DUBLIN. The frauds upon the Dublin Post Office, just brought to light, were of a remarkable kind. Ellison, the person charged, had sent in on Monday a medical certificate stating that he was suffering from disease of the ear, and the necessary leave of absence was granted to him. On Tuesday morning, at an early hour, he came to the sorting office, where the alleged robbery (to the amount of £1,500) took place. The prisoner was arrested in the evening by detective officers Doyle and Gannon, and the bag and property were found with him. Mr. Thomson, solicitor to the Post-office, stated the case. He said he appeared on behalf of the Post master-General. The person in custody was charged with having stolen forty-nine letters containing remittances. The remittances were from different post masters in Ireland. They arrived at the General Post office about five o'clock on Tuesday morning, and were afterwards taken to the registered letter office, where they were counted. They were subsequently placed in a register book, and properly sealed. This book was then put into a safe. About nine o'clock Ellison (who at that time was supposed to be absent on sick leave) was in the Post-office. He was seen by the hall porter to leave at a quarter-past nine, having a brown parcel under his arm. Shortly afterwards Mr. Thorpe, one of the officers, went to the safe, and finding it had been opened and its con tents taken away, gave information at the detective office. When Ellison was arrested, he appeared to be under the influence of drink, and had with him the bag with the money. The prisoner was sent for trial. The military expedition to the Red. River is ex pected to leave in the first week in May. Many of the workmen from the foundries and metal works in Paris have struck, and up to the present time the masters manifest a determination not to yield. RAILWAY SPARKS.—In the Court of Queen's Bench a motion has been made to set aside a verdict for £315 damages done to the premises of a VI..
