Bd., the Retail Houses in London; by the Agents in the principal tcwns in England; or wholesale at T The announcement that theint4 Prize would be shot off to-day,: - Schools would compete for the Shield and the Spencer Cup, attracted a large iminbei of, visitors to the camp. At a quarter-past nine thesizty petitors for the £250 prize, given by her Majesty, and the. gold medal and gold badge of the National Rifle 4880Cia.i Von, wended their way to the targets, and commenced at 800 yards' range, each man b e i ng a ll owe d seven s h o t s at. each of the three distances of 800, 900, and 1,000 yarded The prize was last year won by Sergeant Lane, Ist Gloucestershire, who made 59 points. The Public Schools match commenced at three o'clock. The first stage comprised shooting for the Ashburton Shield, which was presented by the late Lord Ashburton for annual competition by the Public Schools having enrolled or unenrolled volunteer corps. The shield is of the value of £l4O, and is competed for by 11 reprerentatives from each school, at 200 and 500 yards ranges, five shots being allowed at each range, with military pattern rifles not less than '557 bore, The representatives rent up from Eton, Harrow, Rugby. Chelten ham, Marlborough, Winchester, and Rossall Schools ass tabled in front of the council tent shortly before the hour appointed for shoot ing, and were then marched to the respective targets. The victors last year were the Harrovians, who made at the 200 yards range 136 points, and at the 500 yards range 103 points—total 244 points. The lowest score was made by the Winchester boys, who at the 200 yards range scored 124, and at the dOO yards range 69 points, making a total of 193 points. Harrow also won in 1862, 1864, 1865, and 1866. The second stage of the match consisted of the shooting for the cup, of the value of £l5, given by Earl Spencer, the best shot in each team engaged in the first stage competing with seven rounds at 500 yards. Last year Sergeant Collier, of the Cheltenham School, made 22 points, and secured the prize. Another important event in the programme has been the shooting in the Ist stage of the Army Prize of the aggregate value of £265, competed for by the non commissioned officers and privates. For this new prize in stituted by the association there are some 300 entries. The competitions in connection with the first stage of the Albert, and the Jennison and in the Eley Prizes were also continued, and the remainder of the business of the day comprised the shootirg for the "Any Rifle" Association Cup, the Rifle Oaks Sweepstakes, and the competition in connection with the first stage of the Military Breech. loaders. The council have decided that the Enfield Wimbledon Cup shall be shot for to-morrow, instead of on Thursday as previously arranged. .epu i 8, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, LONDON, W. Observe the Red Seal.

DWARD 11A.RPER, Secretary, "Mr. Lowth has written a good and pleasant book. He has given us an admirable picture of the great city which lies about the Kremlin, and notes with care the changes of thought and cur tom which are likely to affect the future of Russia."—Athenaeum. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-street. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained the details with respect to the purchase of the telegraphs by the Government. He said the greatest care had been taken to carry out the proposal, which, he believed, would turn out to be advantageou and profitable. It was impossible to state what would be the sum required for purchase money, because so much would depend on the decision of arbitrators, and, therefore, he could not at that moment bring its a necessary bill. It had been stated that the estimated sum would be about £1,000,003; but flit) , had been compelled to purchase other lines than those first intended, and now Ar. Scu lam 're felt that £3,009,000 would be the outside sum required under any circutn stances'. The Government secured what was called " way leases" over all the railways, which was a very important arrangement, and would practically give the Government a monopoly of the telegraphs. The number of messages sent through the different telegraphs in 1863 Tuner...arid to no less than 7,5)0,000, and from a mean calculation that had been made, which showed that £8,000,..00 cou'd be raised on such a bpsiness, which s °Arcata balance in favour of the purchase of £2,00.1,000, whilst the maximum calculation which had been made showed that £10,000,000 might be the sum. The Government had made certain arrangements between the "Postmaster-General and the newspaper proprietors of the United Kingdom, and by it the Postmaster would not become a collector of news, but merely the means of transmitting the news collected into the country. The rates for such work would not bs higher than at present charged, and other arrangements had been made which would greatly facilitate the rapid transmission of news. Thd violation of secrecy had by the bill been made a misdemeanour, and all fear of " tapping " had been set aside by the inquiry which had taken place into the matter, and which showed that such a matter was altogether impossible. II) did not feel it. necessary to go any farther into the matter. The bill would be of great advantage to the commercial interests of the country, it would conduce to the comfort of the pri ;ate and doinestic circle; and as it would prove advan tageous to the country at large, and bear investigation in every point of view, he recommended the house to give its assent to the measure. Mr. GOSCHEN generally supported the bill, but thought the estimated income, when the telegraphs came into the possession of the Government in 1869, had been overstated £lOO,OOO at least. Mr. LEMAN also canvassed Mr. Scadamore's figures in a very hostile spirit, contending that nearer £10,000,000 than £6,000,000 would be needed to carry out the plan.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Towns Drainage and Sewage Utilisation (Amend ments) Bill was read a third time. TBE SOUTH-EAS TERN AND LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAYS BILL. Lord REDESDALE said on the house taking into con sideration tie rejection of an amendment on the part of the House of Commons, that he regretted he must ask their lordships to p3tsist in the rejection of the clause which had boon struck out. The Duke of RIOIDIOND considered that the feeling of the house had not been to restrict the financial arrange ments of railway Companies. He would ask their lord ships, therefore, to disagree with the amendment of the House of Lords. The Marquis of SALISBURY said that he was in hopes that the noble lord who had just spoken was about to withdraw some observations which he had made about the introducer of this bill. Ho had spoken at first of the noble lords as jobbers in railway com panies, and now he said that they had circu lated rumours to serve their sordid interests. It was sim ply the question whether a shareholder should divide his property or have it in one marketable share. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that they ought to be careful in interfering with the internal operations of rail ways. Lord ROMILLY said that during the last few years his time had been almost all taken up by the litigation amongst railways. On the question being put that the house do adhere to its amendment on clause 55, it was declared that the non contents had it. A division then took place, when it was found that the non -contents were in the majority, an i the amendment was therefore struck out. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved for the production of documents in the possession of tne Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the Receiver-General of the Duchy of Cornwall, relating to foreshores. The Duke of RICHMOND opposed the motion. The papers would fill four or five folio volumes. Some of the documents were in the British museum ; others referred to Scotland, whereas the issue which the Duke desired to raise concerned English foreshores; several were of morely antiquarian interest, and the great mass were, at all events, of a private character. He would not object to the con tinuance of certain returns to complete the series moved for by Mr. Augustus Smith. After some.brief observations by Lord REDESDALE and by the LORD CHANCELLOR, who did not see why the coun try should be put to the expense of printing Mr. Pycroft's antiquarian lucubration; the motion was rejected. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS. Mr. KINNAIRD asked tho Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had caused inquiry to be made as to the alleged hard usage of James Austin (re-. ported in the Times of July 15), who was imprisoned in Bedford Gaol, handcuffed, and a heavy deduction was made from the money in his possession. Mr. HARDY said the best answer he could give was to refer the hon. member to a letter which appeared in the Times of that day. _ _ _ REMOVAL OF TROOPS. Mr. OTWAY asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was true that the 36th Regiment was sent from England in March last to Kurrachee, in Schiele), where it arrived at the commencement of the hot season, whether the regiment was then sent into barracks which had "been declared unfit for European troops ;" and whether, on one day in June last, nine men, women, and children of the regiment died in these barracks from what is called heat apoplexy ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said that was a detachment of the 36th, and not the entire regiment, which had been sent to India. With respect to the last part of the . question he had no information, but he would institute inquiry into the matter. APPROPRIATION BILL This bill Was read a third time and passed. INLAND REVENUE BILL. Thisbill, as amonded, was considered and agreed to. ' ARMY CE/APLALNS BILL. This bill was road a third time and paned► the scheme, Mr. GLADSTONE expressed his readiness to forward the bill, not only because he held that the telegraph ser vice might be greatly improved by transference to the Post-office, but because, until the inquiry contemplated was completed, the interests to be dealt with could not be fully known. Mr. Goschen, he held, had shown very good grounds for believing that the best bargain had not been made, and that without giving the Post-office a monopoly the Exchequer would be a loser. It was only a sense of equity which could prevent the Government from competing with the Telegraph companies, and there was no ground therefore of a high order for deviating from ordinary principles in dealing with them. Mr. Gladstone agreed entirely with Mr. Goschen that the now Parlia ment would not be in any way bound by this bill. Mr. NORWOOD and Mr. E. POTTER, as members of tho select committee, expressed complete confidence in Mr. Scudamore's figures, and in the certain success of the project, though Mr. Norwood admitted that the terms of the bargain were heavy. But the committee bad no option at the time of the year but to confirm them or throw out the bill. The only opponents of tbe bill on principle were Mr LEVESON-GOWER, who objected to inaugurating so great a change in our national habits without a fuller inquiry and Mr. R. N. PHILLIPS. Sir J. GRAY supported the bill, and after some re mat ka from Alderman Lusk the house went into Com mittee on it. On clause 4 Mr. OHILDERS proposed au amendment referring the whole question of terms of purchase to arbi- (ration, which The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted pointing out that the parties had complied with the first alternative of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act by coming to an agreement, and had submitted it to Parlia ment. On the whole he held that a settled bargain was safer than arbitration. Mr. HUNT took the opportunity of defending his arrangement against the criticisms of Mr. Goschen, and read a letter from a well-known firm of City capitalists (whom, however, ho did not name), offering a guarantee of 4 per cent. on the surn•to be raised ender the bill, on condition of receiving the net profits from the working of the telegraphs for 15 years. The amendment was negatived without a division. On clause 15 Air. AYI-tTON proposed• an amendment fixing a sixpenny rate for the first 30 words of every mes sage within the metropolitan district, but withdrew it in favour of a similar proposal from Mr. Watkin extended to all towns of over 30,000 population. On a division it was negatived by 68 to 25. Tho rest of the sitting was spent mainly in committee on the Poor Relief Bill, on which there was a long preli minary discussion, its opponents pressing the Govern nient, but. without avail, to drop it for the session. To the series of clauses, beginning with clause 6, designed to fa cilitate the religious instruction of the inmates of work houses by ministers of their own persuasion, a strenuous opposition was offered by Mr. Newdegate, Mr. T. Cham bers, and other " Protestant " members. They were de fended by Lord E. Howard, Mr. Baines, and others on the plea of religious equality, and Mr. Villiers pointed out that they only carried out what had been the law for more than 30 years, though it had been evaded for the want of a "creed register," which clause 6 provides for. On a division the clause was crrried by 58 to 27. Mr. Newdegate was beaten on an attempt to report pro gress by 55 to 23; but after two or three more clauses had been agreed to, the committee was adjourned until to day The other business was disposed of, and the houso ad ourned at a quarter to 2 o'clock. THE LAW OF MARRIAGE. A case tried the other day at Derby, of which a report appeared in the Times of Monday, throws a good deal of light on several subjects which have much interest at present, especially upon the con dition of the laws relating to marriage, and upon the position which is and must be occupied, not only in our own, but in every country in which complete religious freedom prevails, by the Roman Catholic Church. A man of the name of Fernando, an Oriental person, half Portuguese, half Cingalese, was living in Dublin with a Scotch girl, who passed as his wife. He was a Roman Catholic, and she, till she made his acquaintance, had been a Pro testant, though under his influence she had become a Roman Catholic. He represented to a Roman Catholic priest, to whom he was known, that they had already been married in Scotland, and that he wished the Scotch marriage to be confirmed. He also represented that his wife had for more than a year ceased toattend any Protestant place of worship and attended Roman Catholic chapels. Having satisfied himself as well as he could of the truth of this story, the priest, Mr. Daniel Jones, had the woman instructed in the Roman Catholic creed, formally received her into the Church, and performed a ceremony of mar riage between her and Fernando gt per verba de praesenti." The Oriental person afterwards came to England, deserted his wife, and married another woman before the registrar at Derby. He was tried for this offence, and the question of his guilt turned upon the validity of the first marriage. This involved various points. It was admitted in the first place that a priest in orders, whether Pro testant or Catholic, can perform the marriage cere mony in Ireland without any of the conditions as to banns, &c., which have been required in Eng land ever since Lord Hardwick's Marriage Act in the middle of the last century. It was further ad mitted that under the provisions of an Irish Act of Parliament, passed much about the same time, a Roman Catholic priest cannot perform a valid marriage between parties either of whom is or has within twelve months before the marriage pro fessed himself or herself to be a Protestant. The questions upon which the particular case turned were whether Mrs. Fernando had been, or had pro fessed herself to be, a Protestant within twelve months before the marriage, and whether the cere mony was a complete marriage " per verba de prae senti," or only a blessing on a presumed antecedent marriage. As to the second roint, the evidence of the priest who performed the marriage was uncon tradicted, and prevailed. As to the first point the evidence was more or less incomplete. The parties had represented to the priest at the time of their marriage that the woman had attended a Roman Catholic chapel for more than twelve months before, and a witness swore that ho had had conversations with her on religions subjects in the course of the year, in which she had de scribed herself as a Roman Catholic, and that she had for six months before the marriage attended a Roman Catholic chapel, and it was contended by the counsel for the Crown that the burden of prov ing that she hid been a Protestant within the statutory period Was on the prisoner. The judge took this view, and the jury convicted the prisoner. The curiosity of the case consi,ted in two things the strangeness of the state of the law upon which it depended, and the light which it incidentally threw upon the position which the Roman Catholic Church is, and by its very nature must perpetually be, tending to assume in every c nintry of an lie iß;rirtin in imperio. Upon the first of these points nothing need be added to the article which appeared upon the subject in yesterday's Times, but the seeondpointisa very curious one. Comparatively few people are aware of the extent to which legal lan guage, 1. gal conceptions, and legal functions are mixed up with the doctrines of the Church of Rome, or of the extreme technical pree7sion with which they are carried out to their legal consequences. This, however, is implied in and is inseparable from the whole theory of confession and absolution. The " tribunal of penitence," as they call, it, has a sys tem of law of its own as elaborate and in many re spects as definite and technical as Westminster Hall itself. How bad a name this system has gained for itself under the title of casuistry is known to most people, and any one who will take the trouble to glance over .the serial volumes called the "Church and the "World" may readily satisfy himself as to the anxiety of the Ritualists to revive in the Church of England the authority of the law and the court by which it is administered. There is hardly any part of human life over which it does not exercise more or less influence, but there is no subject on which it is so minute, so technical, and so precise as marriage and the duties connected with it. A good deal of this theory was incidentally broUght out in the course of Fernando's trial, and a few points may be mentioned which give an idea of the completeness and elaboration of. the system. Theo logically, the question at issue was this : A, a Ca tholic, cohabits in Scotland with B, a Protestant, and asks a priest, not being the parish priest, to perform a marriage between them in Dublin. What is the position of the parties ? First, what is to be said of the Scotch cohabitation in an ecclesi astical and theological point of view ? The answer is very singular. Like most other great and ancient institutions, the Roman Catholic Church has what may be called its common law and its statute law. According to.its common law, which prevailed down to the Council of Trent in almost every part of Europe except England, marriage was regarded as a contract which depended on the consent of ,the contracting parties, and which, like other contracts, might be entered into without any particular form, and without the presence or blessing of any priest. Ac cording to the law of many countries, the mere fact of cohabitation was regarded as raising a presump tion of such a contract. Thus a clandestine mar riage might be contracted in a moment of passion without witnesses, without writing, without any sort of ceremony, and its existence afterwards might be proved by the fact of cohabitation, and might be legally established, though it is true that such marriages would expose the contracting parties to ecclesiastical censures. The Council of Trent declared all such marriages to be null and void, and it is one of the great reproaches whichjeremy Taylor levels against the Council that it affected to make void by its canons that which was enacted, as he says, by the law, of nature. The decrees of the Council, however, have never been promulgated in Scotland. llence, according to Roman Catholic theories, the old ecclesiastical law still prevails there and thus, when Mr. Jones came to consider the case of Fernando, he was led to the conclusion that if his story was true the marriage (of which the cohabitation would be evidence, whether con clusive or not we do not pretend to say) was valid— i.e., that., according to the laws of the Church of Rome, Fernando and Mrs. Fernando were, to a) intents and purposes, man and wife, with all the rights and duties of that relation. Though valid, however, the marriage was, in his opinion, not law ful, that is to say, being clandestine it would expose the parties to ecclesiastical censures, and he also swore that he supposed that it was not legal, i.e., not binding by the law of Scotland, an opinion in which he may not have been right. It was thus a case of a marriage valid but not lawful, because the place in which it was sa i d to h ave b een _ _ celebrated was one in which the decrees of the Coun cil of Trent had not superseded the ancient laws of the Church, which they abolished in other parts of the world. Mr. Jones, in answer to questions put to him, further illustrated the distinction between valid and legal marriage by the case of a marriage contracted by persons who had been divorced by the Divorce Court. Such a marriage, he said, would be legal, but not valid. A marriage between a Pro testant and a Roman Catholic according to the rites of the Church of England would be valid and legal, but not lawful--i.e., it would be an ecclesiastical offence. Such illustrations as these set in a singu larly clear light the character of the Roman Ca- tholic Church as a system with its own laws and its own courts, altogether independent of, and at times conflicting with, the law of the land, for bidding what it permits, and at times permitting what it forbids. For instance, a marriage within the prohibited degrees under a papal dispensation would be valid and lawful according to the law of the Church, though null and void by the law of the land. Of all the strange things which aro going on in the world hardly any one is so strange as this, if it is viewed in its true light. Everywhere Church and State are being separated and are confronting each other, and we certainly seem to have got so far on our way that the two systems face each other without anathemas or persecution ; but it is impos sible to doubt that their attitu lc is, and must be, es sentially hostil. They embody and depend upon diametrically different views of life, and china the loyalty of mankind upon different and indeed incon- sistent principles. The result of this must be a mute, inarticulate opposition and rivalry which will end either in subjugating the State to the Church, or in breaking up and destroying the power of the clergy over men's minds, and reducing all Churches to the position of philosophical schools. It is the greatest question of the day. The Pope's letters summoning a General Council are an extreme illus tration of its most imposing aspect. Mr. Jones's evidence in Fernando's case is a small and unim- portant but a real illustration of the very same principles under their least imposing a3pect. The distance from an Ecumenical Council to a trial for bigamy at the Derby assizes gives an odd sort of measure of the enormous sweep of a problem which occupies, on the one hand, the most powerful in tellects and affects the, policy of the most powerful sovereigns in the world; and, on the other, involves the momentous issue whether or not an Oriental person in a rather equivocal position should retain his right to the last woman who had taken a fancy to his dusky charms or be the inmate of Derby gaol for six months with a certain quantity of exercise.—Pall Mall Gazette. THE CHOLERA.—Gibraltar advices to the 16th July state that the cholera is spreading a.t Mazagan, and the deaths reach twenty daily. Europeans, as well as the Moorish population, are among the victims. The dis ease was also spreading at Rabat, but declining at Casa blanco. The Board of Health has cut off communication altogether with Barbary, Tangier, and the whale of the Riff coast has been declared in quarantine, and vessels with. foul bills of health are not permitted to enter the harbour. • EXCLUSIVE, VERY IMPORTANT, RARE, AND VALUABLE are the properties of' Lamplough's Pyretic Saline, curing the worst headaches, sickness, skin, or biliary affections Pleasant, palatable, and liavigorAting. Scackby au Gheatiqs.—[AdYt.) LORD NAPIER IN THE CITY. A banquet in honour of Lord Napier was given at the Mansion House last evening. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, The LORD MAYOR proposed the toast of the evening, " The health of Lord Napier," which was drunk with three times three. Lord NAPIER, who was received with loud and long continued cheers, returned thanks. He said : It has been a source of great gratification to me, and I am sure to every member of the Abyssinian expedition, to find that eur services have been received so favourably by our coun trymen, and that by all classes we have been considered to have done our duty. For the great assistance we have received I have to express our obligations to the Govern ment of the country, by whom we were promptly and speedily supplied with everything we required. The gallant lord then testifiedhis obligations to the various departments which assisted the expedition, and proceeded as follows: When our task was accomplished we received a telegram from her most gracious Majesty the Queen, who is always ready to encourage her soldiers when they are in a position of difficulty. We also received a telegram from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and one from the Secretary of State—all containing congratulations on the accomplishment of the work of the expedition. I can scarcely sufficiently express the pleasure which I feel at the welcome that we havereceived this evening. I cannot but feel that the honour is due to the force under my command— the officers and soldiers, to whose exertions I am indebted for many of the favours I have received at the hands of my countrymen. We all felt satisfied that, without the zealous and cordial co-operation of every officer and soldier under my command, our success could not have been complete. His Royal Highness has been pleased to allude to my having served under two gallant officers who are in this room this evening. I well remember when I served in Central India under my noble and gallant friend Lord Stratbnairn—(cheers)—a soldier who thoroughly understood how to deal with an Asiatic enemy, by going straight at their heads on every occasion—a method of proceeding which invariably re sulted in his triumph over all difficulties. lam alsb proud to remember that I served under my gallant friex I Sir Hope Grant, whose determination to take the great city of Pekin Iso well remember. Allusions have been made to the volunteer force, and although I am not a very young soldier, I am a young volunteer, as I have been this day requested to become commander of the 3rd regi ment of the London Rifle Volunteers, and have accepted that position. (Cheers.) From what I have seen, the volunteers of England are deserving of all support. I assure you, my lords and gentlemen, that I shall remem ber as long as I live the great honour which has been con ferred on me this day, and the cordial welcome which I have received in this hall this evening. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed "The Houses of Lords and Commons." Lord CHELMSFORD returned thanks for _the House of Lords, and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL for the Commons. PAYMENT OF ASSESSED TAXES BY VOTERS. The Paddington Vestry lately Cetermined to take the I opinion of counsel as to the necessity of payment of assessed taxes, as well as poor rates, by persons claiming to be regis tered as voters under tho Reform Act of 1867. At a meet ing of the vestry held on Tuesday, the vestry clerk read the following opinion from the lion. George Denman : " I am of opinion that occupiers of 'dwelling houses, in a borough, who come within the requirements of section 3 and section 61 of 80th and 31st Vict., cap. 102, are not bound to pay the assessed taxes as well as the poor rates in older to entitle to vote or to be placed on the list of voters, but that persons who only occupy houses other than 'd we lling-houses' (as defined by the interpretative clause C 1), warehouses, countiug-houses, shops, or other buildings separately or jointly with land—are so bound, inasmuch as their qualification is wholly under 2d William IV., cap. 45, sec. 27, and is therefore ono to which 11th and 12th Vic., cap. 90, still applies (see sec. 56 of the act of last session, in addition to the other clauses referred to in the question). I think that, having regard to sec. 3 of the act of 'ast session, and also to sections 56 and 59, it is cl. ar that the :equir. ments of section 27 of the Act William IV., and section 1 of the 11th and 12th Vict., cap. 90, cannot be imported into the new Act so far as relates to the suffrage gained by occupation of dwelling_ houses and payment of rates, and that section 59 of the now Act excludes the franchise from the operation of those enact ments under the restrictive words, 'so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof.'" BRITISH ARCH/EOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. The above association have chosen Cirencester as the town in which to hold their annual meeting for the present year. The session will commence on Monday, the 10th of August, and will last the entire week. THE HEAT IN Russu.—A St. Petersburg lettex of the 13th says :—For the last ten days no one would suppose that this capital is situated in the 60th degree of latitude, as we have the temperature of Senegal or Cayenne in our dusty streets." The Manchester Guardian says that at the City Police-court, on Monday, in a case in which the principal witness was deaf and dumb, the constable who had the conduct of it, being instructed to fetch an " interpreter," returned into court bringing another deaf and dumb man with him. THE RAILWAY PRIVILEGED CABS.—On Tuesda, night, at the Cambridge Hall, Newman•strert, Oxford. street, a meeting of cab proprietors and drivers was held to protest against the s}•stern by which only privileged cat& stre at present admitted to the various railway stations. tllr. J. S. Gower occupied the chair. resolutions were ?used binding proprietors and drivers not to drive cabs or ply for hire in the vicinity of any railway station until tho present railway cab privileges are abrogated. MEDICAL CANDIDATES FOR PARLIAMENT. —Dr. Chadwick is to be the Conservative candidate for Bolton. Our own wish to see more medical men in the House is too well known for us to need to do more than announce this fact. We sincerely hope that in all parts the profes sion will be awake to its own interests. Besides the other names we have mentioned, it is now stated that Dr. SValshe, of University College, London, would be willing to contest a borough in the Liberal interest. We heartily hope some borough will at Tzt: . , secure so eligible a cancli- P9s7A l osgac PrOa.
