WHEN A PERSON takes cold the Mega 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 occasions 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 medicine is required.—Prepared with great care by T.

STAMPED ...... 5 c I . METROPOL 17 AN GOSSIP --Thursday. Last week it was first publicly announced by your London correspondent that the condition of the Arch bishop of Canterbury and of the Duchess of Sutherland inspired great uneasiness to their respective friends. Yesterday's papers announced the death of the second, and to-day's papers announce - the death of the first. The Duchess was, some thirty years ago, the indirect cause of a change of Ministry. The Archbishop will be remembered for having presided over four different secs and two pro vinces, but most of all for the Lambeth Conference—an event for which he received extravagant praise and incurred extravagant blame. There is little doubt that he was not the chief mover in it. The idea originated, I believe, with a far abler man, the Bishop of Oxford. I need not say that the appointment of a new archbishop is causing the greatest amount of interest in all circles. I know not why it is, but the fact is certain, that while the selection of a judge interests nobody out of legal circles, the selection of a bishop is a matter in which laymen as well as clerics take the keenest interest. Mr. Disraeli is probably the man of all others to lament that the present vacancy should have arisen just now. The choice of a bishop has already caused him much worry and anxiety ; how much more will the choice of the Metropolitan of all England ? Already many of the Low Church clergy have declared their intention of supporting the Liberal candidate at Oxford because of the alleged High Church tendencies of the Premier, and they will now " watch for his falling" with keener eyes than ever. There will be two chances of making a fatal mistake, for of course the new archbishop will be translated from another see. Three names are mentioned as those of probable nominees. The Bishop of Oxford is believed to be the Premier's choice, and probably would not meet with any opposition from the Queen, who, though broadest of the "broad," has always admired Dr. Wilberforce. He certainly would be welcomed by the Prince of Wales. But then there is the Record, and though we may despise its howl, it does influence a large number of clergy; i.e., of county and university electors. Howl it would with tenfold vigour if this appointment were made, now that the secession of the Bishop's daughter and son-in-law has just taken place. Moreover, the translation of this prelate would involve the Premier in a difficulty even more serious than the present. Who would be the new Bishop of Oxford ? Dean Stanley is known to have set his heart upon that dignity, and, should it be for bestowal, the same almost overwhelming pressure would be exerted in his behalf, only with greater force, which was urged when the see of Peterborough had to be filled up. The name which is supposed to be most popular in the highest circles is the Bishop of London. His wide experience, his administrative energy, his broad views, all seem to fit him for the larger sphere. High Churchmen, however, contemplate this hypothesis with dismay. They admit his fairness, and the freedom which he has given the clergy in his diocese ; but their one test is the Colenso question, and on that point Bishop Tait has wofully dis pleased them. The third name on the list is that of the Bishop of Lincoln. Bishop Jackson would have the merit of respectable mediocrity, and of some London experience in the shape of rector of St. James's, Piccadilly. For the see that would become vacant by translation to the metro politan see there would be the usual list of likely candi dates. But I cannot help thinking that Mr. Gregory, of Lambeth, will in some way profit by the impending changes. Mr. Mowbray would by Mr. Gregory's ap pointment lose a vice-chairman of his London committee. The Daily News was completely out yesterday in an nouncing the postponement of the elections. They will take place in the second and third weeks of November. No one doubts that there will be a very large majority in favour of the Liberal party. Even at Oxford the Conser vative party themselves expect to lose a seat. It is a terrible blow for them that the Marquis of Salisbury has consented to become the chairman of Sir Roundell Palmer's London committee. Between the Marquis of Salisbury, a Conservative ex-Cabinet Minister, and the Marquis of Hamilton (Mr. Mowbray's London chairman) the difference is immense in point of intellectual calibre. But the blow does not derive its force from that, for the Conservative party are accustomed to see their opponents monopolise the intel lect of the university. The real gravity lies in the fact that the Marquis of Salisbury has definitely broken with his party, and having himself sacrificed place to his convic tions, has determined to support a statesman who has (prospectively) done the same thing. Nor is this all. The Marquis (and there are many others like him) believes that the Church will have a better chance at the hands of an independent Liberal, who, though he is prepared for reforms, has given proofs of his devotion to her, than at the hands of a party which has hoisted the flag of No Surrender, in order, as the Marquis believes, to made an unconditional surrender. There is a very remarkable letter to this effect in the Guardian of this week. It is written by one of Mr. Hardy's supporters in 1865. Among the other elections I may mention that consider able interest attaches to those going on at Banbury and Tamworth. In the former place Mr. Samuelson, who has made himself honourably known in connection with techni cal education, and was employed by the Government to obtain information on this subject on the Continent, is opposed by a Mr. Mewburn. This gentleman is, I believe, sent down by one of the religious societies in order to oppose Mr. Samuelson because his religious opinions are deemed heterodox. At Tamworth the contest derives its interest from the fact that Sir Henry Bulwer is trying for a seat. Sir Henry is probably the most accomplished diplomatist in Europe, certainly in the British dominions. His experience is immense. He was sent to Brussels in 1830 to watch the course of the Belgian Revolution ; he has been Minister at Madrid, at Washington (where he drew up the famous Bulwer-Clayton treaty), Florence, and Constantinople. There is no other man living who has the intricate Eastern Question so completely at his fingers' ends. Sir Henry has, moreover, already had Parliamentary experience. He represented Wilton before the first Reform Bill, and Coventry and Marylebone subsequently. Between him and his brother, Lord Lytton (who was Colonial Minister in the second Derby-Disraeli Cabinet) there is the most complete affection. I find that the general belief at the India Office is that Mr. Bright will very shortly preside over that department of State, and great is the anxiety which is felt as to what he will do. The Marquis of Salisbury has, in his speech at Manchester this week, given Mr. Gladstone a good reason for placing Mr. Bright in that office. The Marquis urged that there was no representative of commercial interests at the India Council. Mr. Bright, who has taken a pro minent part in promoting the growth of Indian cotton, and in constructing railways for the conveyance of that pro duce, would certainly supply that deficiency. The selection for the Indian Secretaryship lies between him and the Duke of Argyll. Whoever should prove the new man will find plenty of work to do. I am told by men well acquainted with Indian matters that enormous waste of public money goes on in various departments, and espe cially in the Indian railways, where the staff of employes is absurdly large. _ _ The India Office is not the only department of State where the public money goes. There is attached to the Board of Trade a medical department, which formerly used to consist of a very few employds, but quite sufficient for the work they had to do. Three years ago, when the cattle plague was at its height, it was found necessary to take on a large number of clerks in order to prepare the cattle -plague returns. The plague has ceased, but not the clerks. There they still are, receiving the public money for doing nothing. Of course nobody is specially interested in removing them, while they are specially interested in not being removed. Only one may well ask what is the use of a President of the Board of Trade who does not guard the public against this waste ? Take another case. A year ago a large quantity of houses between the Strand and Lincoln's Inn were pulled down in order to make wa y for the New Law Courts. Of course an enormous amount had to be paid in compensation for unexpired leases, as well as fcr the houses and the site. But though the ground has been cleared for months the new works have not been commenced, and are not likely to be for a long time. Even the plans are not yet ready. Consequently, land which is worth thousands of pounds the yard is doing nothing, and the taxpayer has to pay the interest on the money without any return for it. A similar piece of blundering, on a smaller scale, took place some years ago when the School of Mines in Jermyn street was built. Two years elapsed from the time that the ground was purchased to the time that the building was commenced, and in that case the site was worth £BOO a year. London clubbists are getting very much dissatisfied. They say that the prices charged for food at the clubs are so extortionate that they cannot afford to dine there. Thus, at the Garrick, which was expressly founded for literary men—a race not generally overburdened with cash—it is impossible to have an ordinary dinner under ss. A member of that club lately gave a dinner to fifteen or sixteen friends, and when the bill was presented, found to his dismay that he was charged £45. At another club, a famous political club in the more aristocratic region of •• .. - i i / NEWSPAPER 1 1 7- 1 1 --- . 4 -V - 0 Pall-mall, there has just la - -.. : , . - .i-;-*:' - '., -- -rk le i ; P' . .

We are likely soon to see the last of Sir Richard Mayne. It is generally believed that he will resign at the end of the year, and that Mr. Knox, the presiding magis trate at Marlborough-street, will he his successor. There is great rejoicing among the canine species. Dogs don't mind knocks, but being muzzled by main force is more than they can stand. Archbishop Manning, whose conversion to the Per missive Bill has lately been announced, intends to make a crusade n—ong the publicans who belong to his communion with a view of inducing them to close their houses on the Sunday. He will associate with himself gentlemen R ho have long taken an interest in the temperance movement, and without regard to their religious creed. I referred in a former letter to certain charges which had been made against Mr. Greening, who is standing at llalifax as the "working men's" candidate. These charges were made by a former clerk of Mr. Greening's, and in connection with the Cobden Mills, at Sabden, in Lancashire, of which Mr. Greeninghad been the promoter. The accusation was that this gentleman had debited the company with his own personal expenditure, and hadfalsified the accounts in order to conceal the fraud. 1 suggested that these charges ought to be investigated and disproved, or else that Mr. Greening ought to retire from his can didature. lam glad to say that they have been investi gated. lam still - more glad to say that Mr. Greening has been found entirely innocent of the accusation. Of his accuser very strong terms are used. An attempt has recently been made in highly influential circles to start another Conservative morning journal. Vigorous preparations were begun, but on laying the pro ject before the chiefs of the party it received so little en couragement that it has been abandoned. There is still talk of another daily journal, to be brought out by the writers on the staff of the .Fortnightly Review, who will sign their articles. The Review has not been such a, success as to encourage the journal. A halfpenny weekly, the British Tribune, is announced to appear on Saturday. It is to be for the benefit of the working classes. Mr. William Black, a correspondent of the Morning Star during the Austro4.'russian war, has become the editor of the London Review. The verses in this week's Judy on the International Railway between England and France are by Mr. Henry Frith, of the War Office. There has been a rather stormy scene this week at the committee of the Leigh Hunt memorial. It was proposed to inscribe on the memorial lines from Leigh Hunt himself, from Carlyle, Lord Lytton, and Shelley. But the last name elicited a vehement protest from Mr. S. C. Hall, editor of the Art Journal. Be denounced the idea of having an infidel's writings inscribed upon a tombstone, even though the lines themselves were entirely unobjec tionable. Leigh Hunt's grandson, who was present, stood up in defence of his grandfather's "dear old friend." Mr. Kent suggested that Leigh Hunt, after all, did not want a testimonial, and eventually it was decided, with the full approval of the chairman, Mr. Robert Browning, that only the line from Hunt should be inscribed : " Write me as one that loved his fellow -men." I am glad to state that the subscriptions exceeded by over £5O the sum required. Mr. Durham will execute the bust which it is intended to erect. Here is a curious literary fact. This week's literary papers are announcing the publication of writings (for the first time) by three dead men. They are Dean Milman's " Annals of St. Paul's ;" Lord Campbell's " Lives of Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham ;" and the second part of Mr. Harry Chester's paper on " The Food of the People," which appears in Macmillan's Magazine. There is a talk of a new and very long poem by Tennyson, to be published about Christmas ; but I believe the Poet Laureate is engaged just now in editing a new edition, in five volumes, of all his poems. It will, lam told, be a charming edition. One of the books of the season will undoubtedly be " Principles at Stake," a volume of joint essays on ecclesiastical questions of the day, and a sort of counter-manifesto to "The Church and the World." The writers are Lord Arthur Hervey, Mr. B. Shaw, Rev. A. R. Grant, Canon Bernard, Mr. Sumner, Mr. Arthur Mills, Rev. G. Salmon, D.D., Rev. W. G. Humphry, Dr. Payne Smith, and Dean Howson. There will be no fewer than three essays on Ritualism, from the Low and Broad Church points of view. NAVAL AND 11111.11ARY INTELLIGENCE. To-night Capt. the Duke of Edinburgh and suite, including Lieut. Haig, the Hon. Eliot Yorke, and Mr. George Bambridge, will go on board the ship Galatea, at Plymouth. It is expected he will set sail direct for the Cape on the ISt of November. In consequence of an injury to his knee, the First Lord of the Admiralty, instead of holding his levee on Wednesday in the office of the Admiral-Super intendent, bad his yacht, the Enchantress, lashed alongside the jetty at Devonport dockyard. It is rumoared at Devonport that their lordships wilt leave to-day for Portland and Portsmouth. The Enellaatress will then proceed to Dover to convey the Prince of Wales to Calais. The Prussian ship-of-war Aledussa, from Kiel, ar rived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday afternoon, en route for the Mediterranean. The paddle-wheel steam sloop Buzzard, 6, Staff- Commander James G. IL Thain, from Queenstown and Falmouth, with supernumeraries for Plymouth and the Eastern ports, arrived in the Sound on Wednesday. Orders received at Portsmouth dockyard from the Admiralty direct that the screw (unarmoured, wooden) frigate Ariadne, 3,214 tons, 800 horse power, at present on the list of the first class re serves at Portsmouth, and rigged, armed, and part]) stored, in readiness for commission, is to be prepared immediately for the service of the Prince and Princess of Wales, no Royal yacht being at the time available for sea service, the Victoria and Albert being in band for repairs, and the Osborne broken up. The Ariadne is a sister frigate to the Galatea, now commanded by Capt. the Duke of Edinburgh. Both are admirable seagoing craft, sail very fast under canvas, steam their 12 knots easily in moderate weather at sea, can make over 13 knots if pushed, and they carry a heavy arma ment. A very few years since they represented the first class of ships of war in the British navy. In being prepared for service of the Prince and Princess of \Vales the Ariadne's guns will be dis mounted and landed from her after decks, and the space thus gained will be appropriated to the con struction of cabins for the accommodation of their Royal Hignesses and suite. The Victoria and Albert Royal yacht has been cleared of her machinery in the steam basin of Portsmouth dockyard, and to-morrow will be docked for repairs to her hull. The yacht has done nearly 14 years' service without being thoroughly opened up for repairs. The greater portion of her two layers of outer planking is now rotten, and her frame is believed to be very defective. Her repair will thus occupy a considerable time, and the cost will be proportionately large. The Ringdove, 3, twin screw (unarmoured, wooden) gun vessel, 666 tons, 160-horse power, has been commissioned at Portsmouth by Commander H. L. Percival. The Ringdove. is one of a very use ful class of unarmoured gun vessels, possessing a fair rate of speed under steam, but their armament appears much too light in comparison with their tonnage and engine-power. At present they are armed with only one 6i-ton muzzle-loading rifled gun, and two 40-pounder rifles. They would easily carry a couple of 64-pounder rifled Pallisee guns, in addition. The old sailing line-of-battle ship Illustrious, last doing duty as a tender to the Excellent, gunnery ship at Portsmouth, is being broken up at No. 5 dock of Portsmouth yard. She was built at Rother hithe in 1803 from designs by Master-ship wright Henslow after the model of the old Fame. The Superb, sailing line-of-battle ship, built at Pembroke in 1852 from designs by the late Sir William Symonds, is also ordered to be broken up at Portsmouth, and will succe3d the Illustrious for that purpose in No. 5 dock. A gun which was taken at the capture of Bhurt pere,'in 1827, and ever since kept in charge by the Royal Artillery at Mterut, has been sent to Eng land, and ii now at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, As soon as a carriag e is p re p ared it will be removed to the Royal Artillery Barracks, and placed with the oilier trophies , cap tured at the same place. n e T g . u yesterdayßßruce, c s ooLnieinetoumft.
