Artesian, who met with ready and uniform support at

the podium of his stable companion, Mount Palatine, to

favour. Proceedings on the Liverpool Grand National re-
solved themselves chiefly into offers to lay, and counteroffers
to take, the amount of actual business done being compara-

Tho hill of Antelao, which hangs over several
villages of Cedoro, and was always an object of
terror to the villagers, gave way on the evening
of the 27th of July, when several of tho inhabi-

THE FASHIONABLE WOMAN.

The Saturday Reriete this morning recurs to a
favourite theme. The girl of the period, the matron of the
period, and the spoilt woman of the period having been
pictured, we hese now • porbaitare of " the fashionable
woman" of the period, who is described as the oddest of
the many odd products of a mature civilisation, the sad-
dest and strangest thing under heaven. First of all, we
have a picture of her "outside life," with the assurance
that it is no fancy picture and no exaggeration :
She goes to bed at dawn, and does not attempt to rise
till about noon. For the most part she breakfasts in bed,
and then amuses herself with a cursory glance at the
morning paper, if she has sufficient energy for so great •
mental exertion ; if she has not, she lies in that half-
slumberous date which is so destructive to mind and body,
weakening both fibre and resolution, both muscle and
=doe n. At last she rises languidly, to be
in time for luncheon and her visitors, if she
receives generally ; or for the one or two intimates, if she
is at home only, to the favoured. Somewhere about four
she dresses again for ber drive—for the first part of
the day's serious business ; for paying visits and leaving
cards; for buying jewellery and dresses, and ordering all
sorts of unnecemary things at her milliner's ; for this
grand lady's afternoon Ma, and that grand lady's after-
noon at home, with music ; for her final slow parade in
the park, where she sees her friends as in an open-air
drawmg-rooin, makes private and carries
on flirtations, and hears and wand scandal of
• fuller flavour. Then home, to dress again for dinner ;
to be followed by the opera or • concert, • Agra, or per-
haps a ball or two ; whence she returns towards morning,
Bushed with excitement or worn out with fatigue, fever-
ish or nervous, as she has had pleasure and success, or
disappointment and annoyance.
But the "funniest" thing about this abject nonentity
is the ease with which—perhaps, as suggested, for the
pleasure of having her favourite physician to attend her—
she takes to her bed on the slightest provocation, and the
strange pleasure she seems to find in what is a penance to
most women. The favourite physician himself, if not
as immaculate as Joseph of old, it is hinted, would have
something to answer for :

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANeIOpT74OUSE.

A man giving th;;;;;;;;lJois;:d7Zrasti, aged 30, who
was respectably chewed, was brought before Mr. Alder-
man Causton under the following circumitances.
Anthony Monger, a City deteetive offioer, stated that
he was in Fenehurch-street that morning at half-past 11,
in company with Smart, another officer, who, like himself,
wail in plain clothes. As he was walking along he felt •
tug at his right hand pocket, and immediately. misted h ■
handkerchief. Turning round he saw the prisoner, and
be and Smart then caught hold of him. Ho had the
handkerchief in his band. Witness asked him to return
it, but he refused, and struggled violently to get away,
and witness had to take hold of the handkerchief with his
teeth before he could get it out of the treiFedes hand.
The prisoner raid he did it for want and hard to
be set at liberty, but the detectives declined let him go,
and gave him into the custody of a constable in uniform.
In reply to the alderman, Monger said he did not know
the prisoner, and he believed the prisoner did not know
him, or he would not have taken such a liberty with him.
(Laughter.)
Smart corroborated Monger's statement, and said that
when the prisoner was taken to the station he dropped
two silk handkerchiefs on the floor of the dock, and after-
wards denied that he had had them in his possession.
Alderman Cauaton (to the prisoner)—You see you
have fallen into the hands of the detectives.

Prisoner—l can assure you thieving is not my profes-
sion. I only left the army four months ago.
Alderman Causton—What do you say to stealing the

DEATH OF PRINCE OACIARIN AND HIS

The Austrian journals announce the death of
Prince Oagarin, Marshal of the nobles of Moe-
cow, and of his eon at Isehl. It appears that
whilst fishing the eon fell into tho water, and that
the father jumped in in order to save him. The
body of the father was soon recovered, but all at-
tempts to restore him to life proved fruitless. The
body of the son was not found till the night.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

The debate on the tobacco convention which is
exciting so much interest in Italy commenced on
the 4th instant in the Hall of the Five Hundred,
under the presidency of Piaanelli. The President
Lanza occupied his place of simple deputy in order
that he might be able to speak against the bill. In
spite of a suffocating heat, every place was oosu-
pied.

Fr usain opened the debate in an amusing speech in
opposition. The argumentation of the finance was simple.
—You have called me (he said) to liquidate a state of
affairs which I did not create. Well, let us liquidate. Lo,
I have an immediate want, I have extreme need of
200,000,000 to pay the January Coupons. Can you supply
us with that amount ? If you cannot then lam compelled
to meant you this tobacco convention. Is this argument
capable of no answer ? Yea, it is. I cannot understand
why we should always be going the contrary way to the
nest of civilised Europe, and that whilst the principle of
the free cultivation of tobacco is advanced
elsewhere we should be aiming to continue a
monopoly in the bands of a private society. Do !you
know what your tobacco convention means? It is a con-
traction like another very celebrated phrase. You say in
substance, " free tobacco in a free state." ((treat
laughter.) I participate in your hilarity. But there is
the same contradiction in the words "free church," with
a predominant religion that there is in free tobacco with
a concessionary and monopolising association. (Hear,
hear, and laughter.)
CANTIOLL also spoke against the convention.

Nauru supported it and found fault with the opposi-
tion members of the Right u the muse of ministerial
defeats. Recollect (he said) that Italy had two serious
ministers of finance, Scialoia and Sella. Both were
defeated by the Right. Let not Count Cambray
Diguy meet with the same fate. Yet I confess
when I see him engaging so courageously in the
contest under so much disadvantage, I have that tre-
pidation which the Israelites felt when they saw young
David going forth to meet giant Oafish. (Prolonged
hilarity.)

Itaer;zzt concluded the sitting, but had not finished
his speech when the chamber adjourned. He resumed it
on the 6th.

THE CATTLE DISEASE DI RUSSIA.

The St Petersburg Journal has the following
telegram, dated Grunbinnen, August 2 :

Dr: Richter, the veterinary departmental-surgeon, has
returned from the journey which he made through Russia.
Re states that the cattle are not affected by the plague,
but by an inflammation of the spleen. This disease is
wide-spread. At Rittower it carried off 500 bead of
cattle and 100 horses. In several instances men have
been attacked by a similar disorder. On the frontier can-
tons the persons have already died from it.

THE POLICE COURT&

WOR/011P-STEEET.

John Nom's. 26, described as a hawker, residing at 4,
Old Nicol-street, Bethnal-green, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Newton, and charged with having thrown
his wile, Mary, out of a second floor window.
Mr. In or Hoskinson, of the H division, informed
the magistrate that when the woman was received into
the hospital, she was found to have received such severe
injuries that it was the opinwa of the house surgeon,
should eqipelas set in, that she would not loug survive.
He thatfori asked his worship to proceed to the London
Hospital and take the depositions of the woman, which
the surgeon considered she would not long be
capable of giving.
Mr. Newton at ones signified his intention of
tring there, and at the rising of the court
iend company with the chief clerk and the
chief usher, went to the London Hospital, where
the injured woman made a statement on oath, which
having been reduced to writing. she signed. She stated :
"My name is Mary Norris, and I am the wife of the
prisoner (who was also present). We had been out drink-
ing at a public-house, and returned home the worse for
liquor ; when we got up-stairs my husband kicked up a
row with me, and seined me by the hair, struck me on
the face and head. He had a kettle of hot water in
his hand, which weut all over me. I then got to the win-
dow, which was open, and called for police, but no
one came. The prisoner again attacked me, and struck
me several blows. I tried to get out of the room by the
door, but he had locked it and had the key in his picket.
At last I got on a chair under the window, and then oat-
side, where I sat with my legs hanging down, and then
threw myself right out. The prisoner did not push me ;
he was standing at the table at the time. and did not
attempt to prevent my throwing myself out. I was
afterwards removed to the hospital."
The depositions having been read over to the penciller.
he was remanded for the production of further evidence.

NEPOTISM ♦T TUE POOR LAW BOARD.

The Bier extremely regrets that so respectable a poli-
tician as Lord Devon should have signalled his administra-
tion of the Poor-law Board by an act of nepotism which
the meet ingenious tory would find it impossible to justify.
That Mr. Reginald Courtenay and Mr. Fleming owe their
preferment as poor-law inspectors to the fact that one is
the nephew of the president, and the other the nephew of
the permanent secretary of the Poor-law Board, is a fact
which the Star presumes neither Lord Devon nor Mr.
Fleming will deny. The job certainly wean an ugly
aspect, and cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged by
those who think that responsible dines in the public
service should be filled by the most competent am.

CONSERVATIVE

The Herald says that whatever may he the result
of the impending election, it will always be me-
morable for the remarkable display of conserva-
tive feeling which it has evoked from the me-
tropolitan constituencies. Hitherto, except in a few
isolated instances, the conservatism of London has re-
mained not only without a mouthpiece in Parliament,
but without an advocate upon the hustings, or a guager
at the polling booth. Now, however, from one end of the
metropolis to the other, the commencement of a riginw
which was to bring in democracy as by a flood tide, has
been the signal for vigorous, determined, and by no moans
ineffectual efforts to develops the latent forces of conser-
vatism and to afford the opportunity of making an ap-
pearance at the poll commensurate with its strength in
the constituencies.

TIER IRISH CROW'S AOITATION.—Tho lecturers

:forth, Sittingbounic, and other mooting, are to follow
until tl,o elections have closed. In most instsnees there
bevy been very large audiences, and, in all, the mein-
toms have been carried with great enthusiasm. The ills.
tribution of publications on the subject has also been
esiried on on a large scale.

XL 111110Vree PLAN OP PIPANCILL RIPON.

Mr. Bright's proposal that the estimates, instead of
being prepared exclusively by the cabinet or the great de-
partments of state, should be referred to a committee of
the House of Commons is, observes the Daily News,
borrowed from the practice of the United States, the con-
gress of which has its finance committee, discharg-
ing functions akin to those which Mr. Bright
describes. But it is relative to a feature of
the American government which does not be-
long to our own ; and each a committee in England,
so far from being a link of connection, would be a wall of
partition between the executive and the legislative bodies.
It would, in fact, diminish ministerial responsibility,
without diminishing ministerial power of extravagance,
and the direct control of the Howe of Commons over the
executive would cease. Mr. Bright's advice, that every
item should be made the subject of a special scrutiny.
would involve the HOWN of Commons in a pathless jungle
of details. But it is well that his proposal should be
put forward. A vague declaration of ends to be achieved
is easily made. When men begin to canvass means, a
sign is given that they are in earnest. If Mr. Bright has
not struck on the right path, he has given an example to
explorers which they may imitate with more success.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON.

Whatever else history may have to say about the prod-
thney of Mr. Johnson, it will, observes the Part, record
that it was during his tenure of office that the only re-

nraining causes of misundersttanding between the malice
country and her vigorous offspring were removed. The
President's woret enemies can say no wone of him than
that his failings are resolvable into errors of Judgment,
while it must be cantered on all hands that his foreign
policy has been at once pacific and patriotic.
London, England, 1868-11-12

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE

How far an alteration of our Poor-law would obviate
the necessity for private benevolence, is, says the Tekgroph,
a grave question, which provokes rather complicated
thoughts. The main principle animating our present law
is that, as a rule, a man fighting the battle of existence
should be left to himself, but if he falls he should be
helped into the workhouse. Ilt is clear, however, that
in all eases where help is given to people not in the
workhouse, either by Poor-law officials or by charitable
volunteers, the aid should as much as possible take the
form of helping those who are beat on self-help.

OP SIB 11.01171 DRU. PAI.VF.R.

Sir Roundel' Palmer is no longer fl candidate
for the representation of Oxford University, his com-
mittee, after a careful calculation of the promises re-
ceived, having come to the conclusion that he would not
be supported by a majority of the electors. The Timm
thinks that the friends of the University will deeply
regret this issue of the attempt to redeem its reputation.
It has, indeed, rejected an opportunity of honour. The
preference of Mr. Mowbray to Sir Roundell Palmer shows
that this University prefers to support anyone who will
promise to fight for exclusive privileges rather than trust
a man who takes his stand upon principles of equal jus-
tice. It is not the first time that Oxford has shown this
disposition, and not the first time it has shown it in rain,
save to its own dishonour.

LONDON ARCHITECTURE ANT) THE
THAMES EMBANKMENT.

Tna architecture of London is a matter of inte-
rest not to Londoners only, but to all Englishmen.
We are proud of this mighty city with its grand
associations, literary and historical, its commer-
cial activity, its teeming life. The very ugliness
which distinguished it in years past was not with-
out a charm, for did not narrow streets, and
hideous warehouses, and sooty wharves remind us
that this metropolis was the business mart of the
world % It must be owned that within living
memory London was sufficiently ugly to satisfy
the straightest utilitarian. The Anti old buildings
we possessed were concealed by modern piles, and

PARIS, Jew. 31, Emma.
In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body, the
debate on the bill on the press was continued.
M. Jules Fevre said that the opposition would
vote the bill, in so far as it abolished the necessity
for preliminary authorization and the monopoly of
publishing and printing ; but there were other por-
tions of the bill which required modification. The
subjection of the press since 1852 had produced
abroad the expedition to Mexico, and had made
France play a secondary part in 1866; and
at home it had caused a complete stagna-
tion in public business, a new loan, anxiety, and
disasters. (Interruptions.) He blamed the blows
which had been directed against the press, and
which had condemned it to silence. He concluded
that the system of a free press ought to be adopted,
without apprehensions being entertained of the
passing agitation which might result therefrom.
M. de Oaasagnac asked why the bill was pre-
sented. The majority did not ask for it, nor was
it accepted by the opposition. it would cause
trouble to society in general, and would only con-
tribute to give additional strength to the adversa-
ries of the government. M. de Custom concluded
by asking a postponement of the bill until, political
positions being appeased and the violence of parties
disarmed it would be possible to adopt the system
in force in England.
The debate will be resumed to-morrow.

(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF APPEAL.
(Before the Lord Cluneeßor.)
- BETTS 11. NIILSON. _

'he facts of this case have recently appeared in our
columns. Judgment was delivered this morning. It was
• question with regard to the infringement of a patent for
the manufacture of capsules which had been taken out by
Mr. Betts. In the court below Vice-Chancellor Wood
held that an injunction ought to issue, whereupon the
defendants appealed.
The Lord Chancellor said that a considerable body at
evidence had been gone into for the purpose of showing
user of the invention long prior tothe date of the plaintiff's
patent, but the defendant's whole ease of user was far from
satisfactory, and was met by opposite proof on the part
of the plaintiff which was irresistibly strong. With regard
to the question of infringement, the capsules were not
used merely for ornament but for a useful purpose and
the employment of an article for the purpose for which it
was designed constituted its active use. In his opinion
there had been an active use of the capsules by those who
first placed them on the bottles, and by those who bad
them in possession afterwards; and the court could not see
how it should be no user, because England was not the
final destination of the bottles. With respect to
the decree for an inquiry as to damages as
well es for an account, before Lord Cairna's Act
damages could only be proceeded for at law, but the
object of that enactment was to enable ("mute of equity to
deal with questions of damages. There was nothing, there-
fore, to prevent the court awarding damages as well as an
account where relief could not be obtained without an
account. Under the circumstances, he held the decision
of the Vice-Chancellor to be right in that repeat • and
upon a full review of the whole case he affirmed the decree
of the court below, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
