A NEW DISCOVERY.

A balloon ascent was made on Tuesday morning
(in last week) from the Crystal Palace by Captain
Burnaby, of the Royal Home Guards, and Lord
Manners, of the Grenadier Guards, to try a machine
Captain BurnaLy has invented tor ascertaining the
course of the winds when above the clouds and when
the earth is concealed. On these occasions, although
the balloon may be nailing at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, yet from the clouds both above and below the
aerial vessel being wafted at precisely the same rate as
the balloon, the latter appears to be anchored in space
and utterly devoid of motion. The compass marks
the four quarters as faithfully as ever, but for all the
travellers themselves can discover they are absolutely
stationary. To obviate this inconvenience, which is
sometimes also very hazardous, as the aeronauts on
emerging through the clouds may find that their
globe has changed its track, and that they are over
the sea when least expected, Captain Burnaby brings
the attraction of the earth to bear .on a machine
which should under such circumstances enable
the aeronauts to map out their course. The invention
consists of two small silk parachutes, attached by a
winding reel of cord of some thirty yards in length to
each other. On one of these parachutes being dropped
over the side of the car, it instantly commences its
downward course, but slowly, on account of the re-
sistance of the atmosphere. In another second or so
the second parachute is detached, and then the travel-
lers, by means of their compass, can obtain the true
line of their course by marking on their charts the
reverse parts to those on which the two parachutes are
descending. The invention is very Pimple in its
character, and worked admirably. Some interesting
topographical observations were also taken from the
car, and the travellers finally descended about half a
mile from the German Ocean, in Essex. The halhmn
was hired by the amateur aeranouts from Mr. Wright.
His services in the went were, however, dispensed
with and the two officers alone were unassisted in their
aerial voyage.—Army and Navy Gazette.

CURE FOR ALL.

1-HO LLOWAY S OINTMENT]

Ii o,nehilrs, iph I he, hy ( Mid Oil
Deranyenienls of' the Throat and C'heia.

In any of the above diseaaes, immediate and permanent
relief is obtained by effectually rubbiug this detergent
Ointment twice a day upon the neck, chest, and back, and
back, and in all stages of influenza, settled coughs, and
wheezing at the chest, the same treatment may be fol-
lowed with efficiency and safety.

Bad I:eys, Bad Breasts, Old Sores, 'rounds, an
Ulcers.

By rubbing this Ointment perseveringly upon and
around the affected parts twice a day, it will penetrate to
the tissues ben, ath, and exert the most beneficial influ-
ence; the inllan3mation soon diminishes, the pain
becomes leas intolerable, the matter thickens, and a
cure is soon effected. In all long standing eases Hollo-
way's Pills should also be taken, as they greatly assixt in
expelling all depraved humours from the body.
.Ykin Diseases of all kinds.

In this class of complaints, noSnatter the age, the son
the place, or under what name the disease may be chisels
tied, immediate ease, and ultimate cure, may with cer-
tainty be procured, if this Ointment be plentifully
rubbed upon the part affected, while Holloway's Pills
are taken in appropriate doses night and morning, to
purify the blood.
Gout, Rheumatism, and Glandular Swellings-.

Every one suffering from tbese excruciating complaints
should have recourse to these purifying remedies. as they
have rescued thousands from a life of torture, after WI
other means had failed to give them relief. The
went and Pills used conjointly will act so seen:ll44y
and certainly, as to effect cures in the most Lopeleas
cases.

Pi h'istulas 'tad Internul Imflawmations.
Persons afflicted with these distressing eomplaints will
find in this wonderful Ointment instant means of relit f,
and all can effect their own care without ezpliiningtLir
infirmity to anyone. Holloway's Pills, if taken in small
doses, greatly assist the Ointment, as they purify the
b!ood and regulate the stomach in an extraordinary
manner.

The Ointment and Pills are sold at Professor Robin-
WAY'S Establishment, 533, Oxford-street, London; else
by nearly every respectable Vendor of Medicine through-
out the Civilised World, in Pots and Boxes, at Is lid,
28 9d, 4s 6d, Ils. 225, and 33s each. The smallest Pot of
Ointment contains one ounce; and the rinallest btoz
of Pills four dozen.

Full printed directions are affixed to each Pot and Box,
and can be had in any language, even in Turkish, Arabic,
Armenian, Persian, or Chinese.

SOMETHING ABOUT MUSHROOMS.

Very few people can cook a potato properly, and
fewer still can do culinary justice to a mushroom.
Therefore the following remarks on this " sublime
vegetable," as many epicures call it, by a correspondent
of the Gardener's Magazine, are worth quoting here
(says the Pictorial World):—" Its fine flavour and rich
fragrance," says he, " are to be kept in mind, whatever
purpose we intend it for, theie being always
a danger of drowning them out with superfluous
flavourings. Tastes differ in respect of mushrooms,
as in other things ; some prefer what are
called ' fat ' and others • lean ' mushrooms. These
terms fairly represent the differences observable
in them, and no doubt these differences depend on
soil, season, age, cultivation, and so forth. A
fat mushroom is thick-textured and not over-large;
the flavour is rich and buttery. A lean mushroom is
thinner in texture; in other words, less fleetly, and
when full grown expands to a larger size than a fat one.
No matter how or where they are grown, however,
they are all in some degree fat when young and lean
when old, and it is a question for ths cook and the
epicure to settle between them what style of mushroom
is to be preferred for any particular purpose. I have
served up the great and somewhat coarse Agaricus
arvensis, which is one of the best of ketchup mush-
rooms, and obtained the approbation if an experienced
connoisscur for its flavour and fragrance, and yet I did
nothing more than broil it nicely, and put it on the
able fresh from the gridiron and piping hot. The
smallest buttons of the real mushroom (A cam-
pestris), which everybody knows, are delicious if nicely
broiled; but I must confess that for a prime dish of
mushrooms from the grill, whether to eat alone or with
a kidney-, or chop, or bacon, I prefer them fully grown,
so that the brown gills are quits exposed; for in the
buttons the gills are hidden by a membrane, which
disappears as the head expands and rends it asunder.
So far as I am a judge of mushrooms by my own
palate and appetite, and observation of other people's,
the wholesomest and most enjoyable way to cook full-
grown mushrooms is to put them on the grill."

BIRTHDAY OF THE PRINCE OF
WALES.

The thirty-third birthday of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales was celebrated on Monday with the
usual heartiness on the Sandringham estate. A large
circle of guests is assembled at the hall, the principal
of which are the Czarewitch of Russia, and a number
of Russian princes and nobles. The chief event
of the day was a dinner given to 220 of the
labourers on the Prince's estate, which was provided,
as usual, in the large dining room it the Royal
mews, and took place at half-past four, graced with
the presence of their Royal Highnesses and their guests
from the house. After justice had been done to the
substantial dinner which had been provided, "The
Queen," "The Prince and Princess of Wales," and
"The Czarewitch " were the toasts which were pro-
posed, and responded. to. A dinner was also given at
Wolferton to the workmen who had been engaged in
the erection of the new Royal station. During the
day the bells of St. Margaret a, Lynn; St. Mary's the
Great, Cambridge; St, Peter's, Norwich ; and the
various towns adjacent to the Royal estates were rung
merrily.

HUMAN DECORATION."

It is curious to remark the changes in France during
the different reigns in what M. Cazennave terms the
art of human decoration. The wives and daughters of
the Pranks were celebrated in ancient times for the
care they took of their beauty. and the Roman
patricians envied their long golden hair and their fair
complexions. After the Crtisades the knights brought
back with them balsams and Iromatic plants as proper
gifts to offer to the ladies of their thoughts. Diane de
Poitiers increased the feminine love for cosmetics by
using them so judiciously that she appeared beautiful
at an age at which the last traces of beauty have
generally disappeared. Catherine de Medicis intro-
duced Italian perfumery, which served at the same
time to charm and to poison. Under Louis XIII.
Ann of Austria brought from Spain almond-pastes and
cacao-butters, which she used to preserve the dazzling
whiteness of her shoulders and hands, and which were
at once adopted by all the ladies of the court. The
reign of Louis X IV. was a sad one for perfumers.
The great king hated all odours as thoroughly as he
hated baths, and of course his dutiful subjects shared
his dislike. But during the following reign the lovely
marchionesses and their train of imitators fully in-
demnified themselves. They not only perfumed their
garments, but had their apartments so arranged that
the air which filled them was saturated with delicious
odours. The hair was then powdered for the first time
and the Marchioness Dubarry obtained from
Cogliostro a cosmetic which rendered youth and
beauty everlasting. The delicate taste of Marie
Antoinette caused her to prefer the smell of flowers to
all other perfumes. We have followed her example,
and our favourite odours are those which are extracted
from flowers. The elegantes of our day have given a
proof of good taste in abandoning the habit of painting
themselves. but the use of perfumed waters and of
cosmetics that simply preserve the beauty has become
more general than ever. —Pictorial World.

LIVING WITH UNCLES. —A little boy had lived for
some time with a penurious uncle. The latter was one
day walking out with the child by his side, when he
met a friend, accompanied by a greyhound. The little
fellow never having seen a dog of so slight and slim a
form, duped the creature round the neck, with the
impassioned cry, "Oh doggie, doggie I and do you live
xi your uncle too, that you are so thin "

THE GREAT FIRE AT CRONSTADT.

A newspaper correspondent at St. Petersburg, under date
the 6th Inst., says—

The great tire at Cronstadt is still the universal
topic of conversation here. Cronstadt. as everybody
knows, is on an island at the very mouth of the River
Neva. How, therefore, a fire in such a place can be
allowed to spread so as to destroy the dwelling-places
of from 10,000 to 15,000 people puzzles many wise
men here. The local paper, the Cronstadt Boles, of
to-day gives the following details Nine squares or
blocks of houses, including the Goetinni Dwor, or
Bazaar, have been completely destroyed. The mass
of houses thus laid in ashes was inhabited by 15,000
people. The buildings consisted of 101 wooden and
13 stone houses, one church, two chapels, 50 shops
in the Ckstinni Dwor, and 78 shops attached to the
Marine Barracks. It will, perhaps, not appear
so extraordinary that a considerable part of
Cronstadt has been destroyed by fire when it is
remembered that it has not yet been supplied
with any civilized system or waterworks. People who
require water in Cronstadt have to fetch it from the
river which washes its shores, and as such an operation
can hardly keep pace with the demand in case of a
conflagration, it is only astonishing that the result has
not been more disastrous. The Minister of the interior
has sent 3,010 roubles as a first instalment of Govern-
ment help; committees are being formed for private
subscriptions, and the rich of St Petersburg will no
doubt give liberal contributions. But the miiiery and
destitution, according to all accounts, seem great, the
frost and sleet which are now setting in will be hard
to bear, and I therefore rejoice to hear that steps are
about to be taken to obtain aid in England also.
Cronstadt, as the principal port of Russia, has many
claims on English sympathies, and Russians par-
ticularly appreciate any manifestations of kindly feeling
from other nations. A great concert, of which Nilsson
is to be the star, will he given next Sunday for the
benefit of the houaelees of Cronstadt, and I hope for
their sake that the result will be brilliant."

School are essential steps in attaining a system ef
Education tvhich shall be truly national.

I approve of the principle of popular control
over Public-house Licenses by means of local re-
presentative bodies.

As a member of the Society of Friends, I am
naturally in favour of Diminished Armaments, and
International Arbitration and Non-intervention of
the Affairs of Foreign Nations.

I think it of the utmost importance that amid
the throng of home questions pressing for deci-
sion, we should never lose sight of our responsh
bilities in distant parts of our great empire. It
can only be for want of vigilance on the part both
of constituencies and legislators that the cultiva-
tion of and triadic ia opium laavebeen permitted to
arise and spread desolating effects both in India
and China. This question, and the suppression of
slavery and the slave trade wherever our rule or
our treaty-influence prevail, will receive my ear-
nest attention.

In conclusion, I will merely add that if returned
to Parliament, I shall give hearty support to Mr.
Gladstone's Ministry, when, ver I can conscien-
tiously do so.

I have the honour to be, Gebtlemen,

Yours faithfully,

A. ALBRIGHT.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST
WORCESTERSHIRE.

On Thursday evening Mr. A. Albright ad-
dressed a crowded meeting in the Corn Ex-
change, on Thursday night. Mr. J. Allsop or.
copied thelchair. Mr. Albright dwelt largely
with the subject of the Contsgions Diseases
Acts, and his anxiety for their repeal. Mr.
Lyttelton, he said, had made some approach to
his views in the matter, and he hoped they
should run their horses side by side at the
election, if they did not run in the same team.
It was reported in the Daily Post, and he would
not say it was altogether the fault of the Daily
Post, that he said he would not give any sup•
port to Mr. Gladstone's Government till the
Contagious Diseases Acts were repealed. Now,
he believed he blundered a little iii speaking at
Oldbury; but his feeling was that his strong
convictions about the Contagious Diseases Acts,
it would be uncomfortable to him to think he
was supporting men who upheld them. His
motto under such circumstances would be,
measures not men, but at the same time he had
said, and he put it on paper in apart of his ad-
dress which was afterwards struck out, that he
had a great admiration for Mr. Gladstone, for
his matchless achievements in finance, and his
legislative and administrative abilities general
(Cheers and hisses). Mingled with his capaci-
ties, there had always been a profound consci-
entiousness, and it was on ;that account he tha
more regretted that, ii the matter of the Con-
tagious Diseases Acts, he had allowed himself
to be overruled by the Horse Guards and Ad-
miralty. It was the soldiers who told him these
things were necessary, and he did not look into
the question to see if the Acts were necessary
or not, or to see if they were lawful. They
were immoral, unconstitutional, and unjust, and
therefore could not be lawful. It was resolved,
on the motion of the Rev. J. Richards, seconded
by Mr. Irons :—" That this meeting are of
opinion that Mr. Albright is a fit and proper
person to represent this division of the county
in Parliament, and assure him of their hearty
support at the noll."—It was also resolved,
" That this meetiug respectfully invite the coin-
mltee already appointed in support of the Hon.
Mr. Lytteltou to co•operate with any committee
appointed to-night in support of Mr. Albright."
A large meeting of the supporters of Messrs.
Allsopp and Walker, was held at the Railway
lon, Lye, on Thursday evening last. The chair
was taken by Mr. B. Brooks, and resolutions
were unanimously passed pledging those present
to exert themselves to the utmost to secure the '
return of the above-named gentlemen.

THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN ON ART

On Friday evening in last week, in the prewuce of a
Itsliiiinatile assemblage, which filled the Meth .nics'
hall, the Bishop of Lincoln prewnted the ;irises to the
NOW., ham School of Ar.. The school has this year
taken three nyere awards than any other school in the
kingdom, excepting South Keel ,ston alone. His
Lordship delivered a lengthened and most Mt.:resting
afdress. He said, in the midst electoral strife

SHORTENING THE HOURS OF
LABOUR.

Amongst the subjects which have com-
manded an increased share of attention
during the past few years is that cf early
closing and shortening the hours of labour.
It is satisfactory to note a decided advance
in public, opinion upon a question whose
vitality will long outlast the extitement of
a general election. There can be no doubt
that, more especially in the shops of our large
towns, the hours of those employed in them
have been more protracted than they should
be, with a (Inc regard not only to physical
health, but to mental culture. The Report
of the Esrey Closing Association, just issued,
is of a gratifying nature. The Board of Man
agemen t can point to a large and increasing
adoption of their principles on the part of
the tradesmen in several of the most popu-
lous districts of London, where it is clear that
the shutting up of shops is attended with
some diminution of custom. In the west
end of the metropolis there is little if any
excuse for keeping open establishments to a
late hour. The wealthy residents in that
quarter mostly go abroad in the afternoon,
and very few of them indeed sally forth of an
evening for the purpose of shopping. At the
same time it must be confessed that the case
is somewhat different in less favoured dis-
tricts of the capital. In many parts the
customers cannot without some difficulty
effect their purchases at an early hour; con-
sequently the shops must be kept open to take
their money when they are enabled to spend
it. But even in the poorer quarters of Lon-
don the early closing movement is spreading
and it may reasonably be hoped, will ocn-
tinue to make further progress. Those who
are directly affected by this alteration in our
social habits, form a large, hardworking
body, and as a rule these servants of the
public are not overpaid. They have little
opportunity for either physical exercise or
mental improvement. They exist for the
most part in a close and heated atmosphere
and their hours are longer than those of most
othersections of the working comunity. The
peculiar features of this shop-life are felt
most by woman, whose constitution cannot
so well bear the continal standing, the fumes
which are emitted by the many gas-lights,
and the lack of exercise which make up the
every-thy life of those who have to earn a
livelihood by serving behind counters. It is
pleasant to know that our people are gradu-
ally awakening to the claims of these shop-
assistants ; and we may confidentally antici-
pate that when the next annual report of the
Early Closing Association is issued, the pro-
moters of the movement may be enabled to
record an even more marked advance in the
adoption of their principles than that which
they have just laid before the pupil°.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

At the Central Cdmlnal Court In London, Lewis Arch
emcm, 8.3, a gentreman,y.looldng yow man, has been
&Witt d nith &twin; Americ.n bowie suet whim eecuriii ors,
the property of tta E %chimp, Telegreph Company, and other
•ecurltles the pr perry of Captain DAle., the mameging
director of the company.

The vircutustanCei-of this rime were of a very extra-
ordinary character. The priaoner was employed an
clerk and accountant to the company at their offices
in Cornhill, and on the 19th January C qataiu Davies,
the managing dile:tor, who was prevented hy illness
from attendirg to his duties. sent the key of hie
private drawer to the privonee in order that he might
le-, him have some papers tat he required. In thee
drawer was a duplicate key of the iron sac,
in which a large quantity of valuable eecari-iee were
kept, and the prisoner appeared to have taken the
key and abetract d Ateericen bonds and other env:u-
ntie* of the value of £17,040, and about £5,000 in
cwh. Het ea abrcanded from the offim, and the firm;
thing he epoetheed to have done was to get into an ex-
traoreitia- y state f drunkeeness, the resu't of which
was that he did not aopear to knew what he oid. He
did not seem to have made away with any of the
securitiee, but on the mem n gut he to plc them he
appeared to have handed 1:5 WU ',sixth of American
bonds to his brother-in-law, who immediately re.
turned them to Captain Davier, and when he got out
of a cab he appearei to have dropped into the road a
bundle which turned out to c secnritien of the
value of £12,000, the property of Capt. Dvis'r. The cab-
man, who proved to be ,evry hyped fellow, finding the
valuable charac er of tliW ffbnthits of the parcel, took
them to the offices of the company, in Cornhill, and
handed them to Captain Davies, who, It need uot be
et.ted, was exceedingly pleased as securing ea raCily
such a large am-met of proderty, and ,he made the
cabman a handsome present for Om honeety. .Jut of
the large amtunt of property affltdointifene was lost, ex.
cept a s portion of the cash, which appeared to
have bneu expended in drink, eel the prinoner was al-
most in a condition of delirium tremens when he was
taken into vuettsk,.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the 11-corder
sentenced the prisoner t .18 03.11tbe bard lab Jar.

EAST WORCESTERSHIRE,

ENTLEMEN-

At the request of many political friends I res-
pectfully present myself as a CANDIDATE to
represent you in Parliament.

For more than thirty years I have been an
owner of extensive works employing a large num-
ber of hands in the King's Norton and Oldbury
Districts of this Division, and am thus closely
allied with your local interest.

Having no personal ambition to enter Parlia-
ment, I should not have become a Candidate but
for the desire contribute towards the repeal of
certain odious laws which, from a deep conscien-
tious conviction, confirmed by some considerable
study of their practical working, I hold to be both
immoral and unconstitutional. I refer to the
Contagious Diseases Acts relating to women.

I have always been in favour of the Franchise
for every man of full age and sound mind, untain-
ted by crime, and not a burden on the ratepayers.
As to the question of women suffrage, I think that
taxation and representation should go together.
It will be after my time if more is demanded, and
I may leave to posterity its own work.

I favour the assimilation of the County to the
Borough Franchise, and think this measure of
justice ought not to be delayed.

I have observed with satisfaction that the sub-
ject of leases, and the relations of landlord and
tenant, are being fully discussed in Chambers of
Agriculture, and am satisfied that a wise measure
in relation to tenant right would be advantageous
to all persons connected with the agricultural in-
terests of our country. I am glad that this sub-
ject is in the hands of Mr. James Howard, with
whom I am acquainted, and I should support the
measure which in the late Parliament was
brought forward by him and Mr. Clare Read.
Having always been desirous of seeing educa-
tion extended to every child in the kingdom, I

hoped that all parties would have been able to
unite in carrying out the system of simple Bible
reading and teaching advocated by the British
and Foreign School Society; but as this course
has not been adopted in cirrying out the Educa-
tion Act of 1870, which, in its practical working
has disclosed many difficulties, I should have been
glad if some such measure as was recently sug-
gested by the Rev. Canon Melville for the recep-
tion of indigent Children in State-aided Schools,
without fee, had been accepted, by which these

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE

The cause of '' Plumbly e go -.der" has baen bet ore the
Court et Common fleas, ant was an action t recover darneges
or. biench ot proalse of marriage, and the onl) plea was a
dent. I of the pr ,rniee.
Mr. Coln a aid Mr. B Manlius wear,' for the pilan•
tiff , and Mr. Wood, Q C., and M. sinew for the clef. u
The defendant was a tailor liviog in
Chel-es, and the plaintiff, slits numbly,
dressmaker, who lived in the same street,
~ of the defenoant's houses. The gentleman
was fifty and the lady 35 years of age. In tile
onening 'pooch it won eaol that the OBI.P So> AS by
no means of a roulaidin kind. The parties had been
near neighbours for bete,' years, and had known
each o her by eight. They had a common friend,
Mrs. Oliver.% to whom the defendant ati.plicd in
June last to introeune him to the plaintiff. M.s.
Cilivera appointed a meeting a: her own booze, and
I.ft the parties alone for had an boor; at the end of
which time the defendant said, " Now you can tell
Moo. Chivere," and the lady thereupon whiqo.red,
"Mr. Gooder wants a wife, and thinks that I shall
'mit him." In this way the courtship began ; and
after this they walked out together, and matters pro-
greased so well that on the let of July the Aden lant
wrote "I am qu te prepared to ask you in a plain,
straightforward manner, Will you have me, end if
so, it is my with to set snout the matter at
once, and bring the business to a speedy arm:.
nai Mo." (Lang liter.) The plaintiff wrote : I thouli
wish befote I give yon an answer to are you aga n, as
scarcely feel justified in giving up my home semi
brininess wiahout knowing your position more fully."
In October the clef-admit put up the banns of marriage
at St. Luke's, Chelsea% awl the 27,1 of the f Mowing
month wine appointed for the wedding. Subsequently
he broke off the engagement.
