JELF, D.D., Principal CNDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles, Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the ex , reme transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell; their good old-fashioned " B ELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their " CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in everyhouse one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drops of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to be used. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for burning without a glass. CIONSOLIDATED BANK (Limited).—At a NJ General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Lon don Tavern, Bi s h o psgate-street, in the City of London, on Thursday, 23d January, 1868, JOHN PENDER, Esq., in the Chair, the following Report was presented:— In laying before the shareholders their usual half-yearly statement of accounts, the directors wish to draw attention to the rneral stagnation of trade and to the low rate of discount which have prevailed throughout the last six months. The bank has, during that period, made steady pro gress, and the number of its customers exhibits a continu ous increas • The accounts show that, after payment of all current expenses, interest to customers, rebate of interest on bills in hand, income tax, and directors' remuneration, there remains a net profit for the six months of £27,263 9 1 To which has to be added the balance from last hall-year of B,lBB 4 7 Making a total of This sum it is proposed to appropriate as follows : To the payment of a divi dend, for the half-year, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax To reserved surplus fund (which, with interest already added, will then amount to £100,000) 3,100 0 0 To special reserve fund (which will then be £20,000) Carrying forward to next account the balance of 2,351 13 8 _ £35,45113 8 It will be seen that in pursuance of the pre'cautionarY policy set forth in their last half-yearly statement, the di rectors have added a further sum of £lO,OOO to the special reserve fund. The directors have to lament the death of one of their most valued colleagues, Mr. James Aspinall Turner, the late deputy-chairman of the bank. His services to this institution, from his first connection with it to the period of his death, merit their ample and grateful recognition. The post thus rendered vacant has been offered to, and accepted by, Mr. Murray Gladstone. The directors retiring by rotation are Messrs. Matthew Curtis, Thomas Fairbairn, Edward Ryley Langworthy, Ivie Mackie, and John Ponder. These gentlemen being eligible, will be proposed for re-election. The meeting will also be invited to elect two auditors. Messrs. David Chadwick and William Cooper offer them selves for re-electiou. The dividend warrants will be payable on and after the Ist Febrtary nest. J. P. HEYWOOD, Chairman. BALANCE SHEET, DEC. 31, 1867. DR. LIABILITIES.

The Cork police have been more zealous than dis creet in their arrest of George Francis Train, and have probably done just what George Francis wanted them to do. That gentleman certainly arrived in Ireland almost with the first report of his Boston speech, in which he transcended his late efforts in behalf of the Irish patriots. But everybody knows that George Francis Train talks like a windmill, which spreads out its arms and goes on with an in cessant " clack," no matter how light the breeze, or from what quarter. Mr. Train speaks on any sub ject his audience suggests, with a surp r i s i ng fl uency and assurance. Whether it be Woman's Ri g ht s or a financial problem—whether it b e emp i re for the Irish or slavery for the negro,matters little to Mr. Train, for he is equal.to the occasion,and therefore as a lecturer in a country where such orat ory i s o f value, worth his weight in geld. But nobody attach es im portance to Mr.Train's spontaneous outpouri ngs . O n board an English steamer, surrounded with English men, he appears to hare declaimed in the same style as at Boston, probably to the amusement of the offi cers and passengers of the Scotia. That sagacious body, the Cork police,-appear to have discovered a dangerous conspirator in this American gentleman, and they have giVen him a publicity which, we have no doubt, will be highly gratifying. When he returns he can include himself among those champions of freedom who have fallen victims to the English oligarchy, and Mr. Train will know how to mak9, capital out of the incident. He was libe rated on Tuesday, by order of the Irish Govern ment, to whom the Cork police referred the matter, on his denial of any seditious intention, and Lis promise, that during his residence in the United Kingdom, he would not countenance Fenianism. He intends, it is said, to take proceedings against the Government, laying damages at £lOO,OOO, for the illegal arrest, and he has already telegraphed to the President, calling the attention of the Ameri can Government t o th e su bj ect. From the fuller accounts that have reached us of the arrest we are more than ever satisfied that it was a mistake. He was first confined in the police barrack, where he lay on the floor. In the morning he was allowed to breakfast in the Queen's Hotel, and at ten o'clock he was taken before a full bench of magistrates. The head-constable stated the facts of the arrest, and gave a list of the papers found, among whin were copies of the Irish Citizen, Irish People, Boston Pilot, and the Fenian Volunteer, which contained a leader nominating Mr. Train for the Presidency ; also his speeches to the Fenian Congress in Philadelphia in }865, and before the St. Patrick's Society in London in 1861. These were readily surrendered, and every facility given to the police in the examination. Mr. Train asked whether the police or the magistrates were the higher, and being informed the magistrates of course, he said that on Friday night he was taken before Mr. Tarrant, who, thinking the ar rest a mistake, asked him to give his word as a gentleman not to leave Queenstown without per mission ; but, although he complied, he was con fined under guard, re-examined, and his pockets searched. The inspector of police explained that additional information had been given by Constable Mahony, and on the pamphlets and papers being handed to him he had considered it necessary to continue the arrest. The magistrates made out a warrant for the detention of Mr. Train in the gaol at Cork, although Mr. Eastman, the American Consul, strongly advised the Bench to let Mr. Train go. The prisoner was marched through the streets of Queenstown between two constables with loaded carbines to the Cork station. He desired to be removed from a third-class to a first-class car riage, and on paying the fare, observed, "every ma n ought to elevate himself when he Can.', llis restless energy remained undampted, and be immediately commenced writing, though the governor inter cepted his letters. His talent of mimicry was exercind on the gaol officials, and he appears to have proved a fund of fun to all but the myrmidons of the law. His account of his cell is very good. I have been in many gaols, he obser ve d , b ut never before in a murderer's cell. " It was 9 feet s quare ; walls, 2 feet thick ; lock, 1. foot square ; key, 10 inches long, weighs a pound ; straw bed, no pillow ; no mat on cold stone floor; no candle allowed. Hence, from 5 p.m to 7 a.m., fourteen hours in dark ; no clothes since arrested, no knife to clean fingers, no comb for hair. Nothing left on nayperson but these few sheets of Monsieur Gayety, prison bread, stirabout, and milk and water for my diet. Theory of British law—every one innocent till found guilty—practice, everybody guilty till found in nocent. Of course he had heard nothing from Adams probably playing poker with Stanley as Seward used to play whist with Lord Lyons." It is clear that he neither looked for a long arrest nor protracted residence in the United Kingdom, as he desired his friends to address " Care of Monroe, Paris." The Radicals, he says, will be glad to see him locked up, and asks if the suggestion came from Washington. Miss Anthony's new paper, the Revolution, to which we have elsewhere alluded, appears to have struck with force on the imagination of the police. They wanted no more; that was sufficient, so all were at once confiscated. " Here I am !" exclaims Mr. Lain ; " give yourselvea no trouble, shed no tears. My friends Beecher, Phillips, Greeley, and Pilton will be sure that I get my deserts. Let no measures be taken for my release—my ambition ended long ago; my destiny, however, may still be moving on." Mr. Train will now " stump" the country, and de liver lectures intending to make it pay him largely, not because he wants money, oh no ! A man who owns four-fifths of the city of Omaha," and is nominated for the President ? No; but he will make the British pay. "You know," he says, " what Charles Dickens did in his American Notes' and ' Martin Chuzzlewit,' yet when he goes back to my country they kiss his feet and give him dollars to no end. George Francis Train may have said hard things of the British in his own country, but when he comes here what do they do? Clap him in a murderer's cell." " The British," he adds, " have played the ' dickens' with me, and I'll play the dickens' with them." With these sentiments he intends to make a tour through the country.— Anglo-American Times. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday an order was received at Chatham garrison from the Horse Guards, directing 35 non commissioned officers and men of the 109th Bombay Infantry, and 29 men of the 106th Bombay Light Infantry, to proceed to India, by the overland route, to join the service companies of their respective corps. The officers ordered to proceed with the detachments are Captain J. A. Nutt, commanding the depot of the 109th Regiment, and Lieutenant C. L. Heathcote, 106th Regiment. Lieutenant A. Fawkes, Ist battalion of the Bth Regiment, has re ceived orders to be in readiness to embark for Cal cutta on the 30th inst. The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has ordered the following promotions and appointments at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer estab lishment, Chatham :—Captain Bruce Brine, com manding the 28th company of Royal Engineers at the Curragh Camp, to be Adjutant at the head quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Brompton, vice Capt. F. A. Marindin, who has proceeded on special service with the Abyssinian expedition ; Capt. C. E. Webber has been ordered to proceed from Chatham to Ireland to take over the command of the 28th company of Royal Engi neers from Capt. B. Brine ; Lieut. E. P. Washing ton has proceeded from Chatham to Weymouth for the purpose of doing duty with the detachment of Royal Engineers at that station; and Lieut. W. James, ordered to Portsmouth for duty with the Royal Engineers in the South-Western District. Lieut. R. W. Stewart has joined at head-quarters. The 56th (West Essex) Regiment, under the command of Col. Lacy, left Aldershot camp on Sa turday en route for Ireland. A detachment of Royal Marine Artillery, com prising Capt. Horsey (in command), Lieuts. Digby and Moore, and 100 non-commissioned officers and gunners, sailed from Portsmouth for Ireland yes terday morning in the Buzzard, 6, paddle sloop, Staff Commander James G. H. Thain. The detach ment marched into the dockyard and embarked on board the Buzzard on the previous day from head quarters at Eastney. Her Majesty's 5 gun screw vessel Ranger, Com mander William A. Cambier, from the West Coast of Africa, was yesterday paid out of commission at Woolwich, and the whole of the continuous service men left on leave of absence. The complement consisted of 60 men and boys, all told, some of whom were paid arrears of back pay, amounting to £7O and £BO each. They were met at the dockyard gates by the usual crowd of hangers-on attendant on such occasions, by whom they are so frequently defrauded. Seine of the men, however, took the wholesome advice of their officers, and forwarded large amounts through the paymaster to their homes. PRICE.... 4d.

The Hercules has the whole of her armour-plating fixed, the date named for her being floated out of dock being the Bth of February. Mr. Reed also inspected the Blanche, 6, 350-horse power, Capt. J. E. Mont gomerie, fitting for the Australian station, which vessel is so far complete that she will be ready to proceed to sea in the course of the present week. Her Majesty's Indian troopship Jumna left Bom bay for Suez on the 24th inst., with troops intended to be brought from Alexandria to Portsmouth iu the Crocodile. Her Majesty's unarmoured screw frigate Bristol, 31, 600 horse power, Capt. Leveson E. 11. Somer set, late the flagship on . .the West Coast of Africa, was paid off " all standing" on Saturday, under the superintendence of Captain the Hon. A. A. Coch rane, C. 8., commanding the steam reserve in the Medway, when the usual period of leave of absence was granted to the petty officers and continuous service men of the crew, who will afterwards join the flagship at either of the naval ports. Tho Bris tol will be re-commissioned immediately for, it is understood, a naval cadet training ship. The Orontes, 2, screw troopship, Captain Henry Phelps, was paid out of commission at Portsmouth on Saturday, under the superintendence of Capt. F. B. P. Seymour, C. 8., Aide-cle=esar.:p -to the Queen, Flag Capt. t o th e Port Aarniral and Naval Commander-in-Chief, Sir Thomas Pasley. The Orontes was only commissioned by Capt. Phelps on the 4th of January last year, and as the gallant officer has proved himself to be a most energetic and painstaking officer during his year's command, it is presumed that the Admiralty intend giving bim another command on the first available opportu nity. The ship is to be fitted with a poop deck like the Simoom and to receivenew boilers previous to being again commissioned. Her machinery also requires a thorough overhaul and repair. The Serapis, screw troopship, Captain Soady, sailed from Portsmouth early yesterday morning, for Queenstown, Ireland, to embark there the 85th Regiment, for conveyance to India. The ship embarked at Portsmouth, for Alexandria, Cap tain A. H.

In accordance with an order issued by Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., superintendent of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, a full-dress parade of the whole of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and sappers, together with the members of the staff at head-quarters, was held at Brompton barracks on the occasion of the promulgation to the corps of a special regimental memorandum from Field-Marshal Sir John F. Burgoyne, K.C.G., late the Inspector-General of Royal Engineers, having reference to his retirement from active service in connection with the corps of Royal Engineers. The whole of the officers and men, numbering little short of 1,000 of all ranks, having been drawn up in square in the centre of the parade ground, ad joining the Crimean Memorial Arch, Col. Simmons, addressing the battalion, alluded to the distinguished honour which had been conferred by her Majesty on the Royal Engineers in having raised Sir John Burgoyne to the rank of Field-Marshal, the occasion being the first of an officer of the corps being raised to that high rank with the exception of the Duke of Cambridge, Colonel of the regiment. Col. Sim mons then alluded to the distinguished and length ened services of Field-Marshal Sir John Burgoyne. At the close of the address of Col. Simmons, the following " memorandum," issued to the corps of Royal Engineers by Sir John Burgoyne, was read by Brigade-Major It. Harrison : The screw steam-corvette Pylades, 17, Captaiu Cecil W.

Jones, clerk, to the Serapis ; Daniel Anderson, first-class assist-engi neer, additional, to the OetzvriN ar:l olur Lering, nominated a naval cadet. WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF LIVE STOCK.— On the occasion of two butchers being summoned on Thurs day to the Woolwich police court for having infringed the cattle regulations, it transpired that a wholesale slaughter of calves is going on in the metropolis which cannot fai 1 to have a most injurious effect on the live stock of the country. It was stated that no calves under a certain weight are allowed to be sold in the Metropolitan cattle and meat markets, and that no calves whatever aro allowed to be removed beyond the boundary of the juris diction of the Metropolitan Board of Works. The dairy men and farmers within these limits having, as a general rule, no room or facilities for rearing the calves, and not being allowed to remove them to more commodious farms in the country, besides finding it more profitable to sell their milk than to feed their calves with it, are killing and burying them as soon as born, whilst the metropolitan butchers have to go to Reading, Romford, Dartford, Ice., for their supply of veal, the present cattle regulations allowing calves to be brought into the metropolis, but not to be taken out. Mr. Parsons named ono dairy farmer, who, having 150 cows, thus destroys and buries ten calves weekly, being at the rate of upwards of 500 a year ; and another who destroys as many as J 4 weekly, being above 700 a year. The sitting magistrate, Mr. Maude, said that such a wholesale destruction of calves revealed the exis tence of a most deplorable state of things, and ho hoped the attention of the Privy Council would be drawn to the matter. CONVICT LABOUR.—An American paper states that in Windham county, Connecticut, the keeper of the gaol goes from house to house with a gang of prisoners (the refractory trammelled with a ball and chain), and jobs of wood sawing for the people are attended to. STILL GOOD.--The ore in the incline of the El Dorado South still continues of about the same quality as a week ago—assays ranging from $lOO to about $3,600 per ton. A depth of 16 feet has now been sunk in this body of rich ore. The incline will be continued until water is reached, when levels will be run and preparations made for mining upon an extensive plan in a thoroughly systematic manner. In the absence of a custom mill at this place the ore taken from the vein in the progress of sinking will be sent to Austin for reduction, as it will pay a handsome profit above the cost of transportation, &c. It is estimated that the ore already out will not a sum sufficient to reimburse the owners for all expenditures made upon the mine to the present time. The El Dorado South is quite likely to furnish one of those rare and felicitous anomalies—a silver mine paying the entire cost of development, and for the erection of hoisting and reduction works, without the aid of outside capital, and entirely from the proceeds derived from incipient working. For a long time but very few, aside from the owners, considered the claim of much value; but they never doubted nor faltered in their labours, and to their pluck and perseverance are the community in debted for the results from which vast benefits to the sec tion must accrue. We are rejoiced at their munificent re ward. A shipment of five and a half tons of ore will be made to-day, aggregating upwards of 13 tons forwarded since the strike.—Silver Bend Reporter of Dec. 21.

In the midst of the greatest war in which this country has ever been engaged, the corps was then held in such little consideration that it was without a single sapper, had no recognised field equipment, and during prolonged campaigns with armies in the field possessed only a few indivi dual officers to carry on arduous sieges, intrench camps of magnitude, and perform all the varied and important duties of the Engineer service. Nor were the duties in garrison or military stations better pro vided for, although the effects were of less import ance. Those days are happily at an end, and the corps now possesses a fine body of well-trained en gineer soldiers, fully instructed in every field duty, and is thoroughly competent to undertake any of the active services of war. As regards its ordinary peace duties it has given proof of its efficiency in the control and management of the great works of defence, considered to be so necessary, at home and abroad, and of which the design and execution are acknowledged to be at least equal to those of a simi lar character in any other country. An additional proof of the estimation in which the corps is held may be noted in the large proportion of its officers and men selected for extraneous positions of an arduous and responsible character under other branches of the Government. Much of the im proved condition of the Engineer service may be attributed to the spirit and exertions of its indivi dual officers; but it is due, in a still greater degree, to the increased value which the progress of science has given to the special branches of the army, and to the higher appreciation with which the profes sion is regarded by the military authorities and country at large. After an association extending over 70 years, and comprising many periods of difficulties and hardships, Sir John Burgoyne takes leave of his comrades of all ranks with the strongest sentiments of esteem and regard, and with the fullest confidence in their future prosperity and distinction." IS hen the memorandum bad been read, Colonel Simmons called for, and led off, three cheers for Field-Marshal Sir John F.

I have fre quently stepped out of the ring during the three weeks I was confined there, nearly every day—for I suffered from a corn between the toes, and still suffer from it, though in a less degree, and while at the House of De, tention I burnt it with some lunar caustic given me by the doctor for the purpose. This the warders know as well as I ; but it is only fact, and not sensational enough perhaps to suit their purpose. What that is, of course, anybody can see—to endeavour strongly to establish some sort of an understanding between myself and the authors of the deplorable occurrences alluded to." In general and emphatic terms he denies all prior know ledge of the catastrophe. With reference to his experi ence of the explosion itself, he also says :—" Forty seconds before it took place I was in a cell in that end of the prison being identified. I had barely left the cell and had got back into my own one, which was on the other end of the building, when the explosion took place. I was at City Point when two vessels loaded with gunpowder blew up ; I was three hundred yards from them. That was truly terrific, but after the body of the explosion was gone there was virtually an end of it. Here it was different, for after the explosion came the falling of timber and the shrieks of the prisoners —all blent in one wild painful confusion. I was nearly suffocated in my cell by smoke and dust that rushed up through the venti lator. When the confusion subsided somewhat, and the position could be realised, I asked one of the warders what it was. He made me no answer. In a few minutes after he had passed I looked out of my cell grating, and I saw a warder, armed with rifle and revolver, standing sentry on my cell. I then thought that whatever it was, or how caused, the governor of the prison believed it must be in some way connected with me. Else how can I explain the unusual proceeding of putting an armed man as, zuntry, k. r t owrisotter who• new violated the slightest order, or in any way stepped aside from the discipline of the prison? Then I received the first faint glimpses of light. I recollected the manner I was changed from cell to cell during the day, especially after anybody had seen me—' lawyer,' identifyer,' or friend. The guarded conduct in every case exercised in relation to me ; the whisperings of the warders and the governor and deputy-governor ; the look-out kept by the governor and a warder on the central tower, which, at the time I noticed it, I did not think any way strange ; all these things rushed on my mind, and associating them with the explosion, and the man fully armed as sentry on my cell, I could not help thinking on the subject, in which I was apparently considered by the governor as some way connected. When I saw the deputy governor I spoke to him, and asked him what did it all mean. He answered me, ' You ask no silly questions ; you know very well what it means.' A few hours after the lamentable occurrence I was visited by one of the visiting justices. At this time there were several police and a body of troops in the prison. I did not sleep during the night, my own thoughts, aided by the constant calling all right' of the warder, kept me awake during the whole night. In the morning, as I was going out to the van, one of the warders said to me as I was passing him, D—n you, I have a mind to blow out your brains.' So that, taking everything into consideration, I feel that this occurrence has undeservedly reflected upon me."— Daily News. TUE NEW LINE OF THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. On Saturday afternoon the principal officials of the Metropolitan Railway, including Mr. Myles Fenton, the general manager, Mr. Johnson, one of the engineers, Mr. Burnett, resident engineer, Messrs. Armstrong, Saxby, &c., made an inspection of the new or widened line between King's-cross and Farringdon-street stations previous to the opening of the line. The works upon the new line, consisting principally of covered way and tunnel, are of a highly interesting character, much skill and ingenuity having been exercised by the engineers, chief of whom is Mr. J. Fowler, in the construction of the railway, the contract for which was executed by Mr. Kelk. The proceedings commenced with an examination of the works at King's-cross station, where a communica tion is being made, by means of a tunnel, with the Midland Railway. The Metropolitan Company are constructing the tunnel to the Midland terminus at St. Pancras. Its level is considerably below the station, so the Midland Compl;lly min carry the line beneath its terminus, and form a junction with its main line at Camden Town. All traffic to and from the Midland will therefore pass on to or from the Metropolitan line at King's-cross. For this accommodation the Midland,Companyis to pay to the Me tropolitan £14,000 a year. The communication between the King's-cross station of the Metropolitan line and the Great Northern Railway terminus has also been improved and perfected. At King's-cross the new or widened line commences on the east of the station. A capacious plat form, 300 feet in length, with means of exit to the Penton. ville-road, has been constructed on the north side of the line. The platform is provided with signal-box and telegraphic instruments by Spagnoletti, for communicating with the different railways. From the side of the station next Pentonville-road two lines of mixed gauge, with steel rails, have been laid right away along the auxiliary line to Farringdon-street, thus giving the Metropolitan Railway four lines of rail between King's-cross and the above sta tion. Tha covered way of arched brickwork begins soon after leaving King's-cross, and runs side by side with the old line. The line is about 28 feet 6 inches wide, the height of the covered way and tunnelling varying from 16 feet 6 inches to 19 feet. It passes beneath Britannia. street, Charlotte-street, Swinton-street, Acton-street, and Frederick-street, and is parellel with the Bagnigge-wells road. About 300 yards from the King's-cross box there is one of Saxby's distance signals in the middle of the road way in the tunnel, and near Granville-square there is a wide opening for another signal-box. The most peculiar feature of the new line is that at no point is daylight lost sight of—a fact which, together with the shafts of the roof of the tunnel and covered way, will do much towards pro. viding excellent ventilation. It is at the Clerkenwell end of the auxiliary line that the greatest difficulties had to be surmounted. The mouth of the new tunnel is much deeper than the old one, the rails of the widened way lying fifteen feet lower than the other. The new line had, therefore, to be carried beneath the old one, in order that the trains might enter the yard at Farringdon-street ; and this was safely managed by under pinning the old route, and completing the work without stopping the enormous traffic for a single day. From the mouth of the new tunnel to the Farringdon-street station there is , of course, a great rise, the incline being about 1 in 40 to the part of the station used by the Great Northern trains. By the bridge near Clerkenwell Sessions-house there is an engine which pumps the surface water from the lino into the drains above. The Great Western Railway Company are to have the space occupied by the original Farringdon-street terminus for a goods depot.

COLONIAL BISHOPRICS. —A dispute has arisen between the Duke of Buckingham and the committee who have the management of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund. It appears that the latter nominated Archdeacon Harris to the bishopric of Gibraltar, and signified the same to the noble duke. The Secretary for the Colonies resented this interference with 'his patronage, and refuses to acknow ledge the right of this irresponsible body to appoint cler gymen to colonial bishoprics. At present the matter is in abeyance.— Court Circular. COMPENSATION FOR INATRIES ON RAILWAYS.— In the County Sheriff's Court, at York, an action was brought by Mr. Jonathan Crowther, wool and waste dealer, of Elland, against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, for injuries sustained in the Bowling Tunnel accident, in March last year. It was proved that Mr. Crowther had been severely hurt in various ways, and that among other injuries he had received was impaired eyesight. The company was not indis posed to give compensation, and only asked that the amount should be decided. The jury fixed the damages at £l,lOO. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.—A public meeting has been held in Glasgow on the subject of national education—the Lord Provost in the chair—at which resolutions were adopted declaring that uni ted and general action is now called for on the part of all friends of education ; that the existing means of instruction in Scotland are inadequate to supply the wants of the com munity ; that any system of national education must be defective which does not enforce the attendanci 0.( children at school ; and that any new system should secure the same kind of instruction, religious and secular, as had hitherto been given in the parish schools of Scotland, " it being expressly provided that any religious teaching shall be given at a distinct hour, and that any child may be withheld from such teaching to which his or her parents may object." The meeting also approved of local rating and local management, with a central board in Scotland; and appointed a committee to petition Parliament, and take other steps for carry iii out the principles affirmed the resolutions ?,__..,.:.v..-i... ~- tl ik ., ~,.
