WHEN A PERSON takes cold the lungs become charged with phlegm, which, oppressing the constitution, a natural effort is made for its relief—this effort is a cough. The only safe and prudent remedies to be adopted are those which assist nature in her work, by loosening phlegm, and exciting a freedom of expectoration, until the evil is removed. SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR is admirably adapted to promote expectoration, ease the breath. ing, loosen the phlegm, abate fever, allay the tickling which oc casions the cough, without tightening the chest; while in more chronic disorders, as periodical coughs, or inveterate asthma, it is equally valuable in its effects, though of course longer perse verance in the use of the me licine is required.—Prepared with great care by T.

Mr. John Simpkins, a gentleman farmer owning nearly three thousand acres of land at Stanton St. Bernard, Wiltshire, has been summoned at the Guildhall for sending the carcases of ten sheep to the London market, for sale as human food, the same being diseased, unsound, unwholesome, and unfit for the food of man. The defendant, by advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. The evidence shewed that at the request of Mr. Simpkins the meat had been dressed by a local butcher and sent up to town, with a note directing the salesman to do the best he could with it. He was informed that the carcases would do for cats' or dogs' meat, The salesman had nothing to do with the cats' meat business, and so he called in the inspector, who seized the meat. It was also shewn that the carcases had been carefully dressed and prepared for the market. The defendant pleaded that he did it in ignorance. Mr. Alderman Causton said there was no excuse for him, and fined him £2OO, or three months in default. The magistrate added, that if it were not for the great age of the defendant he would have sent him to prison without the option of a fine. There will be some people, wanting in the bump of reverence, who will ask whether Mr. Simpkins's great posses sions had not as much to do with this as his great age. The £2OO would probably be a trifle to him, and it may be that lie has profited by this wretched trade to a considerably greater amount. Two or three little butchers and farmers have been sent to prison for like offences. The spectacle of the owner of 3,000 acres serving a short time might have had an extremely salutary effect upon his brother knaves. THE GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY AND ITS STAMP. The Goldsmiths'Company is one of the very few of the City of London Corporations which has anything to do with its money beyond feting its members. While the other companies have in one way or another lost their " functions," the Goldsmiths still have to stamp the gold brought by citizens and others to " the Hall." But " the trade " is by no means satisfied with the way in which the work is done. There have for some time been complaints of an antiquated system of marking, which have now found vent in the Times. It is alleged that the mark is no security, that it is so clumsy as to be easily imitated, and that the machinery is so rude that the goods are often damaged in the process of stamping. The company itself admits that frauds are often practised. Hollow rings after stamping are filled up with baser metal, chains are manipulated, and poor metal is often sold as good. "A London Goldsmith," who appears to be very indignant, suggests that the whole thing be taken from the City Company, and put into the hands of a Govern ment office with good organisation and machinery. Ile further proposes that inferior metal should not be stamped. It would certainly be a good thing if ' we could have some system by which a buyer of jewellery should see for himself beyond doubt the value of an article, and not be compelled to trust to the dealer's honesty. THE PREVENTION OF CRIME. The Daily News., in a well-written rt!cle, considers how crime may best be prevented. Our contemporary is a great stickler for the liberty of the subject, and is therefore rather astonished at the proposal which has been put forth, that the known thief should be taken up on suspicion. It is afraid that this will be putting too much power into the hands of the police —who alone are supposed to know thieves—and that they will occasionally use it against the innocent. It would certainly be liable to gross abuse ; but still, the i n nocent might prove that h e h a d w h erew i t h to keep himself, and that therefore h e did no t nee d t o live on crime. And wh erever thi s i s s h ewn the suspicions become val ue l ess . Th e D a il y News is also oppos e d t o th e ex t ens i on o f the ticket-of-leave system—by which every sentence would include a period in which the criminal would be required to report himself. It is afraid that we should mark the man for life and prevent him from getting a livelihood. But our contemporary would destroy the thieves' haunts, and punish the pawnbroker who buys h is goods ; would make it difficult almost to impossibility for a man "to pursue a career of crime." But how could this be done ? We have already our law against the receiver of stolen property, and what avails it ? THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES. The Incumbent of the Holy Trinity, Bessborough Gardens, Westminster, gives some statistics of over crowding in that city. It seems that the reverend gentleman makes it his business to look after the poor a nd their habits, and he finds that many o f them require to have the cravings of the body satis fied before his visits can be turned to any higher purpose. In Ponsonby-place, which Mr. Reyner Cosens says is one of the most respectable streets, he finds twenty-eight families in five houses, making a total of 128 persons. He could shew more than this in smaller houses and lower streets. Mr. Cosens describes his work, and states that he keeps open at his own cost, with the assistance of a grant from the Westminster Spiritual Aid Fund of £2O, a school for the attendance of some 140 ragged children. The schools break one's back, he adds, but are necessary. The rev. gentleman makes a strong appeal for help for the sick, the aged, and the poor out of work. The lower phases of London life are so repulsive that the sensitive man is sorely tempted to turn his face away altogether, and to try and forget that the fair faces of Belgravian streets hide no such foul dens as we have described. Mr. Cosens knows the mockery of a sleek priest and his well-dressed wife Lreaching the kingdom of heaven to shivering azarus without some substantial help. ORANGEISM. The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland have met at Dublin to consider the present crisis. At the appointment of a Roman Catholic Chancellor the members, as might have been expected, were much moved, and in some resolutions they find that the present Government will rule Ireland through the intervention of the Church of Rome, and will make any concession Cardinal Cullen may demand. In fact, the late appointment virtually unites in one the judi cial and the spiritual functions of the Papacy. The Lodge resolves: " That in the event of our beloved monarch being Placed in the trvinz and difficult position of The dull, heavy, ignorant, good-hearted farmer is likely ere long to become a being of the past. He will not long derive his inspiration merely from the "Farmers' Inn." Other debating chambers, better and more conducive to intellectual development, are being established rapidly throughout the country. Chambers of agriculture are replacing the great tap room. It is stated that in the past twelve months these landlords' and farmers' institutions have been nearly trebled, and at the present moment they muster nearly 16,000 members. And every organisation must have its news paper. With the beginning of 1868 a monthly journal, the Chamber of _Agriculture, was issued, with the object of chronicling the proceedings of the various chambers ; but interesting matter has so much accumulated, that a fuller and more frequent record of proceedings is demanded. Accordingly, with 1869 that journal becomes a weekly newspaper, and is issued as the accredited organ of the Chambers of Agriculture. This looks well. THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN AGRICULTURE. The Warwickshire Chamber of Agriculture has been consulted on the question of the employment of women and children in agriculture. It came to the following conclusions:—That no girls be em ployed under eleven years of age, except for a short time in the spring and winter. That employe' s would not be put to any inconvenience if they employed no boys under ten years of age. That as a general rule none except wives of labourers wero employed in field-work, but it was necessary to employ women in the spring in picking stones and weeding of corn, and in hay and corn harvest, and in cleaning roots. Their hours of labour are from eight till five, and their health very good. Boys were often sent out too young in charge of horses, but the employersof labour suffered more from it than the boys themselves. With regard to education, the Chamber presses the necessity of requiring a certificate of profi ciency in addition to that of school attendance. Night schools are, in thinly populated parishes, diffi cult to maintain. Women employed in field labour are usually the best disciplined and more tidy in their own homes. TILE ARCHDEACONRY OP WESTMINSTER. We gather from the John Bull that the Arch- deaconry of Westminster, which will be vacated by the promotion of Dr. Wordsworth to the bishopric of Lincoln, will probably be conferred upon the Rev. John Jennings, canon of Westminster. The rev. gentleman is now rector of St. John the Evangelist, Westminster, a church whose architectural peculiari ties have earned for it the name of "the elephant on its back." The living is worth £355 with house. Besides this, his canonry in the Abbey is worth £1,200, with a residence. He is rural dean and domestic chaplain to the Marquis of Downshire. Beyond this we are not aware that the reverend gentleman is remarkable for any high qualifications for the performance of archidiaconal functions. There is now no emolu ment attached to the office of Archdeacon of West minster. OBITUARY. One of Lord Derby's field-marshals is dead—Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross, G.C.B. He was 89 years of age, and was senior officer of the Royal Artillery. Born in 1779, he entered the Artillery in 1795. He specially distinguished himself in the Peninsula. He was present at the action of the Coa, battle of Busaco, Redinha (wounded in the shoulder), Foz d'Arouce (wounded in the leg), battle of Fuentes d'Onor, sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz (dangerously wounded in the head), action at Castrajon, capture of forts at and battle of Salamanca, capture of Madrid and the Retiro, battles of Vittoria and the Pyrenees, and several other engagements. He also served in the celebrated campaign of 1815, and was present at the battle of Waterloo. In recognition of his services he was made Knight of the Tower and Sword of Portugal, and received the Order of St. Anne of Russia. He possessed the gold cross and two clasps for the Peninsular campaign, and in 1855 was created G.C.B. Of late he has served at headquarters —representing the Royal Artillery at " the Horse Guards." Very recently he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hos pital, a post which his death renders once more vacant. A MIDLAND BAMTE. —The Apethorpe preserves were shot through a day or two ago by the Earl of West moreland, the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of Carysfort, Lord A. Lennox, the Hon. Captain Curzon, Colonel W. Craven, Captain Johnson, Captain J. Little, and the Rev. E. Du Pre. The quantity of game bagged was 2,330 head ; of these, 1,030 were pheasants, and 800 hares. Tim es. To PRESERVE MILK.—A. M. KirchoffeiZ of Paris, has discovered a method of preserving milk. He takes pure milk, pours it i n t o a b o ttl e which he closes hermetically, and then treats the exterior of the bottle by an operation which is secret. It i s sa id th a t the milk thus dealt with keeps like liqueur ; cold, heat, or movement exercise no influence upon it, and when drank it has the sam e t as t e as if it were quite fresh. If this be correct, the process is really valu able. Sailors and travellers may thus have the luxury of milk at sea without the horrid nuisance and stench of miserable cows upon the deck ; and, as a Parisian wrote the other day, " connoisseurs may indulge the fancy of drinking milk which has made the voyage to and from the Indies." TILE VISIT OF MU. GLADSTONE TO LORD SALISBURY. There are various rumours afloat consequent on the visit of Mr. Gladstone to the Marquis of Salis bury. The most noteworthy amongst them is the " whisper " which the Advertiser has heard. It hints that Mr. Gladstone went to consult the noble marquis about the recall of Lord Mayo. The London cor respondent of the Birmingham Post goes further, and says that the Marquis was offered the vice royalty in Lord Mayo's place. THE NEW LORD-LIEUTENANT. It is perhaps worthy of note that among all the • sins which they attribute to Mr. Gladstone the Con servative journals do not set down his appointment to theLord-Lieutenancy of Ireland. The Dublin Evening Mail declares that " the appointment of Earl Spencer to the Viceroyalty is, perhaps, the best that it was in the power of Mr. Gladstone to make. The new Lord- Lieutenant is young, rich, little known as a party man, and as little publicly pledged to particular political views . ; but emin en tly di s ti ngu i s h e d as a manly Englishman —an enthusiastic volunteer—a genume associate in all popular undertakings. Ile brings with hi m a coun t ess w h o i s known to sympa thise heartily in all his genial and social feelings." This is very satisfactory. Thus ushered in it will be his lordship's own fault if he do not win popu larity. LEGAL CIIANGES. There are no appointments which exercise the imagi. nation of .journalists so much as those belonging to the law. The appetite comes with eating. It is not enough that Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli have given us on an average one appointment a week ; it is not enough that with the change of Ministry there has been a change among the political lawyers, from the Lord Chancellor down to the Judge-Advocate; but there must be already a fresh arrangement of posts talked of on the very day that their distribution is announced. Justice Mellor, says one legal journal, is very ill, and will have to retire; he is much better, and will soon sit upon the bench again, says another. The lay journals prefer to accept the first statement, and have already settled the matter after their own minds. Sir R. Collier is to take Justice Mellor's place on the bench—an un likely event, by the way. Sir John Duke Coleridge is to be Attorney-General ; Mr. Jessel, perhaps, Solicitor-General. How about " Historicus" It is again rumoured that Lord Westbury will accept the Lord Justiceship vacant by the prefer ment of Lord llath er l e y. W e mus t aga i n express ourincredulity. We find it hard to believe that Lord Westbury's eno rm o us se lf- es t eem wou ld submit to take any post in which his judg ments would be liable to be overruled by a lawyer who was a few years ago his junior. We believe also that Mr. Gladstone would make a very serious mistake if he offered any post to the hero of so many scandals. Lord Palmerston did himself enormous harm by taking Lord Clanricarde into the Cabinet ; and the placing of Lord Westbury in a judicial office would go far to do away with the excellent impression produced by the selection of so high-minded a man as Lord Hatherley for the Chancellorship. ELECTION PETITIONS. The number of English borough members peti tioned against turns out to be much larger than was expected. There are no fewer than fifty-four. The county petitions have still to be presented. These, of course, are never so numerous as those for boroughs ; but the total number of petitions is not likely to fall short of seventy, which is at least up to the average, and we believe is beyond it. There are now three members of the Government petitioned against—Mr. Goschen, Presi dent of the Poor-law Board ; Mr. Forster, Vice- President of the Council ; and Mr. Moncreiff, Lord Advocate. The election of the last Minister is objected to on the ground that a committee was formed on his behalf for the payment of electors' registration fees. It is also urged that even if he be duly elected he ought to be re-elected, because, though he was nominated Lord- Advocate before his election was completed, he could not accept the office until afterwards, inasmuch as it was not vacant until Mr. Gordon had resigned it. The point is a very nice one, and it is fortunate that it will be tried by a judge instead of by an election committee.
