CO-OPERATION ON THE CONTINENT.

In the beginning of 1868 the firm of Borchert at
Berlir Nenes Messingwerk) was converted into a
co-operatii company. M. Borchert valued his
eatablishmen at 300,000 tinders. This capital was
livided into 0000 shares of fifty thalers each, and
every man engaged in the business for more than •
3 ear ha I • right to buy a share, paying six thalers the
first month and four thalers monthly during the rest of
the year. rhere were no objections to a man buying
several shares, and a committee of three members was
elected from the whole body of shareholders. One
share gave one vote, two and three two votes, four to
six three votes, seven to ten four votes, and so
on. The society drew up its own statutes and laws.
The salaries of the employed are paid in pre.
ference to all other claims, M. Borchert remaining
director at • salary of 3,000 thalers. Salaries cost
of insurance, renewal of machinery, &c., 'being
deducted, what remains is equally divided between the
shareholders and the employ Ss. The holders of shares
thus draw a double profit, as proprietors and workers.
The bonus, as the profit of the employed is called, is
divided among the working men in proportion to their
earnings; those engaged on piecework receiving a
little less than those engaged by time. If there should
hes deficiency, it would fall only on the shareholders;
but if the deficiency were so great as to render it neces-
sary to reduce the number of the working men, those
who were not shareholders would be discharged first.
At the end of 1868 there were thirty-two working-men
shareholders who received five per cent, upon their
capital and eight per cent, dividend; and • bonus of
ten per cent, besides was divided among sixty-three
working men. In plain figures the result was thie-ethe
working men received 20,425 thalen salary, 128 thalers
interest on their capital, 1,845 thalers bonus, and 228
thalers dividend.

A SAD PHASE OF LONDON LIFE.

At the Guildhall Police-court, in London, on Tuesday,
Thomas Sc.rivener, a little boy, wea charged before Alderman
Finnis with stealing a small bag, containing ls. 9d., from
another little boy.

Mr. Darby said that he was in Charterhonw.street
when he heard the cry of " Stop thief," and saw the
prisoner stopped, and the bag taken from him, and
given to the complainant.
"

Charles Brown, detective officer, said that the pri-
soner had been in custody at thin court before. Ile
had a father and a stepmother, and she sent the pri-
soner and two more of her husband's children out into
the streets to get their living the beet way they could,
and the consequence was they were always about the
New Meat Market seeing what they could steal. The
complainant was the non of a poor widow whose hus-
band had been a butcher, and the butchers in the
market subscribed some coppers every week for her.
Her boy went for them, and he was returning with
them when the prisoner snatched the bag from him.
She was present, but was very iU indeed.
Alderman Finnis asked her to step forward, and
when he saw her he was shocked at her emaciated
appearance. He asked her why she did not go into
the workhouse, and she replied with a shudder, "No
no. I was there for six weeks when my husband
died, but I will not go in again. I would rather go to
the hospitaL"

Alderman Finnis asked her what was the matter
with her, and if hers was a ease that the hospital
would take in. . . .

The poor woman said it wsa. She had a tumour
in her side and could have gone into the hospital
before, but she had not a change of clothing, and they
would not take her without.
Mr. Alderman Finnis asked her what clothes she
had, and what she wanted.
The poor woman exhibited her scanty wardrobe,
which consisted of a ragged dress, under which were
some rags, which it would be a mockery to call clothes
and an old worn-out shawl.

Charles Brown said her sufferings must have been
great this cold weather, for with her illness she had
nothing at home to keep her warm. There was no
furniture in the room except an old bedstead, on which
were a few rags, but nothing in the shape of bed or
bedding.
Mr. Alderman }lnnis directed Brown to take the

poor woman to St. Thomaa'a Hospital in a cab, an
ascertain what clothing W &II required for her, and
then to come to Mr. Griffin, the cashier, for the
money to buy them. He then signed an order for
her admission into the Hospital, and told Brown to
take the boy to the union, where he would be taken
care of and educated.

The poor woman expressed her gratitude for such
unexpected kindness, and went with Brown.

Mr. Alderman Finnis then sentenced the boy
Scrivener to two months' imprisonment, with hard
labour.

DISCOVERY OF A MONUMENT OF A
BIBLICAL KING OF MOAB.

A correepondent of the Journat Officiel , writing from
Jerueolem on the 18th ult., says:—

" An arch:l,l°ocd monument of the grea'rat Importance
has just heels disc wered by M. Clermont-Ganneau, inter-
preter to the French consulate here. It is a large basalt
pillar, found to the east of the Dead .ea, on the territory of
the ancient Moabite. On it is et graved an inscription of
more than thirty lines, in Phoenician characters, commencing
by these word,:— I, Mesha, son of Phamos.' . . . Now
Chamos was a king of Moab, mentioned In the Bible, and
contemporary 14 the Prophet Edsha and Jehoshaphat, king
of Judah. ciii with Ahab, A hariali, and Jehoram, kings of
Israel. The third and fourth chapters of the second hook of
Kings gives a detailed recital of the campaign undertaken by
Jeh,d.am and lehoshaphat against Mesh. the King of Moab.
The monolith relates also the struggle of Mocha against the
King of Israel, and enumerates the towns constructed and
the temples raised by Meitha, and consecrated by him to the
god of his natir_?,t Chamos.
. . .

The age of this monument is fixed by its synchronism
with Jewish histoty ; it dates from nine centuries before the
Christian era, and from about, a hundred yea, after B.ilomon.
It is nearly two centuries older than the celebrated sar-
cophagus of E.dirtionn.ar, King of Solon The Phienician
characters, 2ti which it is written, present an Archaic aspect,
not hitherto found to a similar extent in any ,d the Phumician
remains discovered. The writing, how, ver, can be trans-
lated with almost absolute certainty, because all the words
are separated by points and the phrsses divided by vertical
bars. The lemmata Is, with the exception of a few slight
orthographical differences, pure Hebrew, and any one In
rteding this text might believe that he was perusing a page
of the Bible. The adoption of the principle of writing in
verses and the parallelism of the phraseology, complete the
illusion. The Moatittes, as is known, belonged to the same
race as the Jews."

This precious text, which permits the value of the
historical statements in the Scriptures to be tested by
ft document contemporary with the events, and which
will bring to ethnography, myth logy, geography, the
study of languages, and paleograpliy, the richest con-
tributions, has just been sent to the Academy of In-
scriptions by M. Ch. Clermont-Cianneau, withamemoir
which will be immediately published.

IN MEMORY OF THE CRIMEAN WAR.

Letters from Sebastopol say that the Church of
St. Nicholas, erected in memory of the soldiers who
fell in the Crimea, and dedicated to St. Nicholas
the Wonder-worker, will be consecrated in May.
The foundation stone was laid in 1856, close to the
cemetery known as "The Cemetery of the Hundred
Thousand," and the Church of St. Nicholas, already
completed as a building, will, when it has been fully
decorated, be the mast magnificent religious edifice
in the south of Russia. The contributions to the
building fund from all parts of Russia have been
immense, the largest offerings being those of the
Princess Vasailtelikoff, widow of the late President
of the Council of the Empire, who is an annual nub-
scriber to the amount of 15,000 roubles. The church
is paved with granite taken from the ruins of the
Sebastopol docks; the walls are, for the most part, of
grey marble from the Crimean quarries. The cross
and windows are formed of a Crimean stone called
atonite, while for other portions of the interior green,
black, and fawn-coloured diorite is employed. Above
the entrance is the face of our Saviour in mosaic, and
' sunk into the outer walls of the church are large slabs
of marble bearing the names of all the officers who fell
in the war. The left wall is dedicated to officers of
marine artillery, of cavalry, and of infantry ' • the
right wall to officers of engineers, of the staff, of the
navy, and of cavalry and infantry. Connected wit
the church is s memorial chapel, containing por.
traits of about two hundred of the principal
actors in the war, including the Emperor Nicholas,
the Emperor Alexander 11., and the Grand
Dukes Constantine and MichaeL One of the most
interesting portraits is said to be that of an heroic
doctor (name not given) who after the termination of
his charitable labours in hospital and on the field,
entered the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, near
Moscow. " Pilgrimages" says the Gazette of New
Russia,' will be made to the Church of St. Nicholas
(ram all parts of the empire, and there will be an enormous
gathering to witness the consecration of the building;
for who did not lose a relation in the Crimean war, and
who will not wish to visit the grave of his father or his
brother?" It would seem, then, that the memory of
the Crimean war is to be cherished above all by the
vanquished.

shop. The calico and muslin produced were his pro-
perty, as they had his private mark on them. Knew the
prisoner, who came to his shop yesterday (Tuesday) and
asked for some articles. There were several persons in
the shop. One had got hold of a piece of calico, and
the prisoner then took hold of it, and concealed it under
her shawl. A woman told him in the shop that the calico
was missing, and he sent for Police-constable Craddock,
and told him of it. He went and fetched the woman
back, and she pulled the muslin and calico from under
her arm. The value of the articles was 2s 9d. Police.
constable Craddock proved apprehending the prisoner,
and finding the muslin upon her, and while she was in
Mr. terould's shop be saw her drop the calico from under
her arm. She said she hoped Mr. Gould would forgive
her. In her defence, prisoner said that she picked up
the muslin in mistake with her parcel, and denied taking
the calico. Prosecutor, ie answer to the Bench. said be
had been robbed lately to a great extent. Committed
for 14 days.—There were a number of othereases called
on, but they were allowed to be settled.

THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERIIAMPTO!4, Wednesday.

The inectiiie. of iron and coal master.; and hard

fair. Early in the meeting the attendance was
more than initially influential, owing to the half-
yearly meeting of the Midland Boiler Inspec-
tion and Assurance Company having been held
the sonic idle:llo,m in ibis town, and members
of the trade referred to being tho directors.
The imount of business doing is only small at
the mills and forges, and the orders obtained
to-day are unlikely to improve matters to any
considerable extent. A little business wag done,
but not at Arm prices.

Sao ACCIDENT.—On Thursday a sad accident occurred
to a miner named John Lyeett, employed at the Hayes
Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Harris dud Perrino. It
appears the man was in the act of knocking out a tree,
when a large quantity fell upon him, dislocating]his
and severely injuring his back and chest. We are happy
to say the unfortunate man is progressing favourably.

SINGULAR STORY OF GOOD FORTUNE.

An exemplification of the old proverb that "it is
better to be born lucky than rich," has just come to
light in Newark, N. J., in the person of a young
married German lady, the wife of Mr. John M.
Neither, residing in krinceddreet, in the above city
('aye a New York ~‘per). According to reliable
authority, it appears ehe and her husband are natives
of Wurtemberg, Germany. They have only been in
this country isme eight or nine menthe and had just
got married prior to leaving home. Twenty yearA ago
an unc'e of Alta Neiber, named Reiss,., left Germany
and started for C.difoinia, where for a time he made

THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE CASE,

FRIDAY.
Lord Penzance commenced summing up at
the sitting of the Court this morning. He re-
ferred to the publicity given to the case, and
doubted if it had not been for the best, as the
cause had been on the tops for nearly a year,
and there were many rumours about it. If Lady
Mordaunt iu one, two, or any number of years
became sane her husband would have a perfect
right to call her to account for what she had
done. It was even a disputed point now whether
Sir Charles, even if he knew his wife were mad,
had not a right to a divorce. His Lordship re-
ferred to the entry in the diary regarding the
280 days as graveley suspicious as to her alleged
adultery with Lord Cole. The case against
Captain Farquhar was not SR strong. As to the
case against the Prince of Wales, there was no-
thing in the nature of the evidence.

PROFESSOR MAX MULLER ON THE
SCIENCE OF RELIGION.

In London, on Saturday, Professor Max Muller
delivered the first of a course of four lecture on the
"Science of religion" at the Royal Institution; the
thuatre was well filled by a fashionable audience,
Prince Christian and Dean Stanley heiug among those
present,
"••" • • • •

The lecturer Immo:armed by saying that he anticipated that
what he should have to say would raise some antagonism in
the breasts of those whose religious prejudices may be
strong. but he felt certain that he would have a good hearing.
Religion was a m ist store I subject, and he should treat it
accordingly. All higher kuowlerlge is gained by comparison,
and particularly so a better knowledge of religb•n. It may
ire that In the c- imperative system, as applied to religion,
things may have to he inquired into which we should not
care about any civilized nation believing, but we must bear
in mind that, for the decency of truth, there is nothing so
good as the study of error. It has been remarked that he
who knows only one language knows none—that is, that he
does not know properly the original of the language and the
dames of its existence. It is the same with religion. Man
viasssaos a particular faculty for religion, which raises him
above all other aiviogtlslngs created. That faculty is indeperp
dent of sense and feeling, and auperior to them. 'tie a faculty Of
apprehending the infinite. Ike solemn of religion may be
divided into two parts—comparative theology and theoretic
theology. It is strange that comparative theology has never
as yet been prop -sly investigated. It is a most interesting
end instruetive study, and the materials which now exist for
its prosecution are very large and useful, in comparison with
the facilities afforded for the stud) of the subject in former
years. The mat spread of the knowledge of languages,
particularly Oriental, and the vast accumulation of good
translations of books on the religions beliefs of all countries
from the most remote ages, hove rendered the study of com-
parative theology a matter of no great difficulty. Indeed, the
comparative study of religion has become. necessity, and would
ere long take the important position In our educational course
to which it is entitled. Those who have studied the science
of language should take the science of religion in hand, for
one was, he said, closely connected with the other. He be-
lieved the more we knew of this subject the more we should
had that the purestatruth Ilea hidden in even the molt de-

s. deed religions of the world Unless otir relhoon has becolne
what it has mit ben, it is adeant geese for it not to shrink
from a companion with the e,tablished principles of the
religion. of the whole world. lie believed that much of the
disagreement in religions matters was to he attrilintog to
the constant misrepresent-di...1 of aneletit Wens!en in the
course of itn trit,lation into modern language, and the
rence between ancient kJ-stern and wodera Western

THE LATE BARON NATHANIEL DE
ROTHSCHILD

PAM Nathaniel de Rothschild, one of the partners
in the great mercantile house of that name, died in
Pali. on Sitturlay morffing, in his 58th year. He Was
the third 8, in of the late Baron Nathan Meyer Roths-
effild (whoe death occurred in 1836), by Hannah,
daughter of the late Mr. Levi B. Cohen, and Was born
in 1812; he was COLS quentJy a brother of Baron
Lionel do Rothschild, M. P. for the city of London,
of Sir Anthony de Rothschild, Bart., and elder
brother of Baron Meyer, M.P. for Hythe, and
grandson of Meyer Amichel Rothschild, the original
founder of the fortanes of the family. From
early life he took an active part in those great
monetary transactions with which the house of
Rothschild has so long been identified, but for
Upwards of eighteen years he had suffered from an af-
fection of the spine, which, after inflicting upon him
Prolonged tortures, had produced almost complete
paralysis, and culminated in the loss of sight. In this
deplorable condition, however, the late Baron main.
tamed a cheerfulness which surprised all who had ac-
cess to him, and in no respect abated his active interest
in affairs. A French and an English secretary read
to him all the jeurnals and periodical literature of the
day ; his memory was singularly retentive, and his
judgment, esjwcially in matters of politics and finance,
seemed to become more acute from his deprivation.
He was frequently consulted on ouch subjects by
men of all parties, and had become, moreover, a
kind of social arbiter, whose opinion was sought
on every difficult question. In spite of his long
residence in Paris, he was an enthusiastic English-
man, devoted to English literature and the study of
English politics. His magnificent house in the Rue
Faubourg St. lionorei was a constant resort of the
political and literary celebrities of France and Ger-
many. His loss will be much felt in the society of
Paris, where he was universaliy known and esteemed,
as well for his great ability and social qualities as for
the widi spread charity for which his family is every-
where distinguished.
The deceased Baron married in 1842 his cousin Char-
lotte, daughter of the late Baron James de Rothschild,
of Paris,- whose death necurred about a year ago,—by
whom ha has two Sims, JamesiEdward and Albert, the
elder of whom has already acquired considerable dia.
tinction as an advocate at the Paris Bar.

SIR JOHN LUBBOCK ON THE
SUNDAY QUESTION.

An attempt lui.s been mnde at Maidstone to oppose
Sir John Lubbock on the ground that he is favour-
able to Sunday. desecration. Referring to this at a
meeting of his supporters on Saturday evening, Sir
John said -

-
It has been said in • handbill, which some of you have not
seen, but which, no doubt, will he very widely circulated in
a few hours, that I sini a member of the Sunday League.
That has been Issued by the London Working Ilene Lord's
Day Observance Society. I sun not here to defend the
opinions of the Sunday League. lam going to say lam not
a member of it, and never was a member of it. (Cheers.)
But it would, surely, have been entllelent for the London
Workings, Illen'e Lord's Day Observahce Society to &Arend
their non principle; without attacking the prineples of
those oho are opposed to them. (Hear, hear.; They have re-
ferred in that handbill to theanswer I gave to a question asked
of me at Sydehham, whether I was apposed to the opening of
museums aid places of amusement on the Sabbath I venture to
say that if they had given the whole answer no passible miscon-
ception could have arisen of my opinion upon that question
(I fear, hear.) I have always said that Lam opposed to the
opening of places of amusement on Sunday. (Cheers) But
at the same time I am not prepared, 1.11 an honest man, to
say that I think we ought to close Kew Gardens and the
Zoological Gardens on the Sabbath. (Cheers.) You are per-
fectly aware that they have always been open ; they are open
now, and I believe no evil has resulted from it, and therefore
it was impossible for me to pledge myself to vote for that
resolution on the terms on which It was proposed. Itut 1
am opposed, 1 repeat again, to the opening of places of
amusement on the Sunday. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, you
ore also told in that handbill that I supported • movement
