Floe barley inaintains its value. General qnali-

and oats blow, at late rates.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS—At th• present
lime much watchfulness must be exercised, and the ear-
loot evidences of ill health immediately checked, or a
Blight illness may result in a serious malady. Relaxed
and sore throat, diphtheria, quinsey, coughs, chronic
cough, bronchitis, and most other pulmonary affection,
widi be greatly relieved by rubbing this cooling Ointment
into the skin as nearly us practicable to the seat of mis-
chief. This treatment, at once siniple and effective, is
admirably adapted for the rein,val of such diseases dur-
ing infancy and youth. Old asthruatlc inv idds will de-
rive marvellous relief from the use of Holloway's rem.
di,., which have brought round many such sufferers, and
re-established health after every other means had sig-
ma ly failed.

A GERMAN OPINION ON THE ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND.

the followitg article

The true reason why the English Cabinet, led by Bright
and Gladstone, evinced mush a marked partiality forNapolem
on the outbreak of the war was iii anxiety for the prolonga-
tion of its treaty of conimeren with France, which n mintier
Gnvenurent in that country Is alumni certain to dem-niece

Interests to those e f trade. Nattered honour, tee most
sacred duties of neutrality, and the most solemn teeny
ligations are In its .yea cu.weigl.ed by filthy Wm@ and the
profits of the shop This to tite true explanation of Entailers
LAtration of numerous rebuffs, humiliations, and even in-
sults, to her Ilig of late years. For instance, in the well-
known else ot the " Tvrtaado outrage," L ,rd Clarendon
abandoned the uufertemate British crew to the tender mettles
of Spain, and roamed Li enforce the redress which
his predecessor, Lord Stanley, bad demanded for
them, lent by malutalolog their rights he should

In like manner, Dird Lyonn has been Invtructed to assure
whoever may be la poesy. lu Farb. that England resit exert

been, no one mill deny them credit for maintaining their old
reputation for defending fortresses. Blrsch is aa notable

THE CALUMNIES AGAINST THE

" WitatELltsilolte, Sept. 15, 1870.
" Since the occurence MI the sad events In France the
Emperor Napoleon ha* been the object of the most violent
atteeks and ,f calumnies of all kinds, which he will doubtless
only treat with contempt ; but tilt fa right In him te remain

tenons who ate attached to hint should permit the daily
pubhcatlou of theA rep.als in F.cnch and foreign news-
pap,ra to pans without cintrulictinn.

Another journal asserts that it is known to all the world
