THE REVALENTA ARABICA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric de rangements, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the hoad and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramp., spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPOD.TANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury , and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now cdd that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has beau perfectly restored by it after thirty years of ursuccess;ul wedical treatment.

(Signed ROULAND. PROVIDENCE 7I,110:VG PORTERS. - Class distinctions seem to have at least this re commendation, that they suggest and facilitate or ganisation for profitable and charitable purposes. Commerce has for many years recognised and pub licly advocated the claims of its unfortunate travel lers and warehousemen and clerks, and the depen-• dent families of both ; and now, having for some nine years in London seconded the provident efforts of a still larger section of employes, who form the base of the commercial as distinguished from the manu facturing class, it has invited public co-operation with provident porters by means of a dinner held at the London Tavern last evening. This was the first annual banquet of the London General Porters' Benevolent Association, although that has been in existence since 1858. The chair was occupied by Mr. H. Hoare, who thus redeemed to the association a promise given by his father, whose life was cut short by the railway accident at Staplehurst. The chairman was supported by representatives of many leading city firms, including Messrs. B. W. Horne, J. D. Allcroft, P. T. Isett, Walford Greatorex, J. Figgins, J. Holmes, T. IL Devonshire, E. Eagle ton, J. Green, Snelgrove, and J. Grace. The object. of the association is to provide and grant pensions to infirm and permanently dis abled porters and messengers and to their necessitous widows and orphans. Towards its funds the porters of Loudon have raised 51,500 ; and nearly 1,700 are enrolled members, sub scribing ss, per year each. Their remuneration as a body does not allow of their making provision against sickness and disability for labour. From the first the society has distributed, in pensions of Bs. a week, nearly £2,000. The funded capital is nearly 6,000, which is about two-thirds of the total amount subscribed. The number of pensioners at present on the books is 19, and there are 29 candi dates, all strongly recommended, and some that have been in one situation over 30years, and are close upon 70 years old. It is estimated that in London alone there are 60,000 porters and messengers, and that this class forms one-twelfth part of the adult male population. Their general claims, on the score of their useful ness and fidelity, and the special claims to help of those who helped themselves by joining this asso ciation, were dwelt upon by the speakers, while lists for subscriptions and donations were passed along the tables ; and, under the influence of good digestion, eloquence, and music, the company put down their names for £l,lOO, which it was announced amid cheers would provide annuities for two more deserving porters. Among the donors of a hundred guineas were— the chairman, Messrs. Leaf, Sons, and Co., and Messrs. J. and C. Boyd and Co. ; and Messrs. Dent, Allcroft, and Co., gave 50 guineas. The pleasing feature of the proceedings was the general appre ciation and sympathy for porters as a class which was manifested by the speakers. The company did not consist wholly of patrons, for there were present two bona fide porters, who were stated to have been among the most liberal of the donors to the insti tution. The vocalists, whose efforts pleased, were Miss Mabel Brent, Miss Julia Derby, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Theodore Distin. THE FRANCHISE FOR WOMEN.—A large and influentially attended meeting in favour of confer ring the franchise upon women was held on Tuesday in Manchester. Mr. Jacob Bright, M.P., Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Mr. B. Whitworth, M.P., Mr. Chisholm Anstey, and many other gentlemen connected with the Liberal party, were present. The speciality of the meeting, however, was the appearance, as speakers, of Mrs. Pochin, wife of the Mayor of Salford, and two other ladies. The resolutions proposed to the meeting were adopted.

The Times observes that tisell-ad 'very Oft to say on the Irish Church at the _Alice4-HalLnieeting apart from his explanation of the _ 441 hisgvn views as to the proper way of treating it, for the very sufficient reason that there are no arguments on the other side to he answered. All that the most zealous defenders can say is that the Irish Establishment exists and has existed, but they do not venture to explain why it should be suffered to remain in existence. This is the most remarkable phenomenon of the session. We are approaching the end of a war of 300 years, and it becomes plain that nothing , but physical force has made it possible it should have lasted so long. The argument has been all on one side, but the power has been on the other. Mr. Disraeli is the most ingenious of men, yet he cannot find a decent pre tence wherewith to defend his position. He can utter " dreadful prognostications " over the destruction of civil and religious liberty; he can proclaim that he has discovered a plot for the subversion of the Crown and Cons Aution ; he can warn a Buckingham shir. rector that the country- is threatened with an evil worse than foreign conquest ; and the only result of all this is that people who cannot sympathie with and under stand his difficulties ask what can be t secret of his de cline. Lord Russell very happily illustrated last night the complete divergence between Air. Disraeli's letters and the Foreign secretary's arguments. Lord Stanley meets a proposal to disendow the Irish Establishment by declaring that the proposition is premature, and it is expe dient to defer its discussion till next session. Mr. Disraeli tells his country correspondent that it is worse than foreign conquest. Fancy the Foreign Secretary telling the Ambassador of a Power threatening a descent on our shores that the proposition is premature, but if it be brought on again after a few months he will consider under what modifications it may be entertained. Yet, if we are to accept Mr. Disraeli's declarations, Lord Stanley has been guilty of an indiscretion, not to speak of a lack of patriotism, even worse than this. Mr. Disraeli's letters are, however, not without some value. By a different way they lead to the same conclusion as the meeting at St. James's Hall. The meeting was convened in the middle of London ; it was thronged, and the resolutions for the disestablishment awl Jisendowment of the Irish Church were passed with enthusiastic unanimity. Mr. Disraeli attempts " to flog the dead horse " of religious bigotry, and his inspired allies are even more zealous in their frantic efforts ; but their labours are in vain. There is a unanimity of apathy as striking as the unanimity of en thusiasm, and both enforce the conviction that the formal disestablishment of the Irish Church will be the first work of the Reformed Parliament. The Daily News lays down that the unendowed bodies now united in condemning the Irish Establishment repre. sent both the Protestant and the religious feeling of the country as truly and as fully as either of the State Churches, and their conviction that the Irish Establish ment is a danger to Protestants is of itself sufficient to ensure the failure of Mr. Disraeli's attempt to raise a foolish cry. The Protestantism of the country has already made its voice heard, and it demands nothing less than the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church. The question at the hustings, as Sir Edward Dering said at Canterbury on Tuesday, will soon be "Are you in favour of Mr. Disraeli's scheme for raising the Roman Catholic Establishment in Ireland, and perpetuating May. nooth at the expense of the British taxpayer, or do you agree with Mr. Gladstone, that in Ireland every creed and every religion should stand or fall by its own merits ?". And the answer of a Protestant people is certain. The Telegraph is in ecstacies with the St. James's Hall meeting. Lord Russell's speech, as might have been antici pated, was a manly declaration in favour of union in the Liberal ranks. He himself would prefer the endowment of the three sects —Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic ; but, seeing that the country has finally set its face against any such scheme, lie takes his place by the side of Mr. Gladstone, and urges the complete disestablish meat and disendowment of the Irish Church. Every mem ber of the Liberal party must see, or must be made to see, the necessity of following Lord Russell's example. Much may be said in favour of giving Roman Catholic priests of Ireland State support, and at one time a resolute states man might have carried out the plan. But that day has passed. The nation will now listen to no scheme for creat ing fresh endowments. It will have no policy but that of Mr. Gladstone's which cuts the link between Church and State in Ireland, and leaves the members of each sect to support their own pastors. Therefore, to clamour for " levelling up " in the name of Liberalism is simply to obstruct the work that Liberalism has in view--the pacification of Ireland—and to play into the hands of Mr. Disraeli by disuniting the Liberal ranks. The Star observes that Earl Russell's appearance at such a meeting was of itself in any case a significant and even a momentous fact ; but he lent a greater significance and moment to it by the wise and manly frankness with which he announced his abandonment of all peculiar pro posals on the subject of the Irish Church which might previously have seemed to separate him from many of the pertyr- He is ready to withdraw all proposals fin. - the perpetuntierx," - of Irish endowments by dividing them any"; the cone liding parties. He is ready to stand on the common platform with Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright, with Mr. Miall and Sir John Gray, with the Protestant people of England and the Catholic people of Ireland. It rejoices to think that such an enthusiastic meeting brings all the Liberalism of England, Ireland, and Scot land into one great united camp on this momentous ques- tion. Let no more, exclaims the Post, be said about " conci. Ration " the word as it has been used with regard to the relations existing between Great Britain and Ireland was barely relevant to the issues which have to be deter mined by legislation, and it is utterly out of place in reference to the visit of the Prince of Wales. The idea of . the Irish dove flying back to its ark with the olive branch which England had sent by as fair a messenger as ever carried good tidings is so pretty and pleasing that we own we are loth to lose it. Still the fact is better. The soul and sentiment of the visit—that which will make it a joy for ever —were no doubt contributed by the Princess of Wales, and there could hardly be one among the thousands who on Wednesday were made happy by her smiles that did not know and feel as much. But the contribution had nothing selfish or apprehensive in it. A womanly thought has been expressed in a womanly act ; that is all, and enough too, for in the development of such a sentiment there is real security. The Standard deeares that. this royal visit has produeet. the strongest 'additional testimony to the truth which all Irish history records, that the people of that country may be best influenced by personal appeals. The royal name, which with us is a time honoured institution, may become in Ireland a living principle, to arouse the apathy of the masses, to overcome the prejudices of race, to subdue the animosities of rival creeds, and even to awakento patriotic exertion the indolence of rank and wealth. If we profit by this experience, and go in the path to which this visit points' the way, we may look forward to such results as will rescue Ireland alike from foreign conspirators, design ing priests, and self-sufficient quacks. The Herald expresses its opinion that the railway system of England is financially unsound. If railway proprietors are to exercise any wholesome control over the directorate, the latter must give a clear and comprehen sive account of its stewardship. Unfortunately, mystifi cation is never so complete as when things are going wrong. Just when the shareholders ought to be most thoroughly alive to their real position, the fog settles down and shrouds the peril by which they are beset. The directors go driving on, until by and bye there comes a crash. Then the shareholders begin to " investigate," and succeed in learning a few disagreeable facts which they ought to have known sooner, or which might have been prevented altogether. The fallibility of railway boards has been proved over and over again, and it is certain that unless they can make their proceedings transparent to the public there will be a continued lack of confidence, so that even a profitable line will be under suspicion, and ite shares will sink with every adverse rumour. In fact, says the Star, real discussion, real acquaintance with the doings of directors, real and intelligent study of the interests of the companies, is what is most wanted. Railway reform, it is insisted, will be best served by the ample discussion at railway meetings of all points affecting capital and revenue, and all questions of new enterprise. A great difficulty stands in the way in the constantly varying personnel of the proprietary, and it is to obviate inconveniences and perils thus arising that well•paid and thoroughly responsible executives are needed; but much may surely be done to make railway meetings more intelli gent than they are. Heretofore they have been all confi, dence or all turbulence; in either case they have been farcically inefficient for all purposes of correction.
