Notice is hereby given, that this HOSPITAL is now RN-

wich, where any seaman, needing medical (Jr surgical care, will
be admitted on personal application, as heretofore, without in-

day was hardly warmed through, and the children could
not eat it."—Cook : "Then hadn't the children better
dine after us, mum? If I cook thejint any more for them,
there won't be a bit of goodness in it when it comes to be
hotted up for the. kitchen ?" [Exit cook with a flounce

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

Mr. John Abbott, late of Halifax, has bequeathed to

this university £4,000, for the purpose of founding two
scholarships, "to give encouragement to learning and to
assist clergymen of the Church of England in sending their
sons to the university whose circumstances are such as not
to enable them to bear the whole of that expense, as well
as to assist orphans of clergymen under similar circum-
stances." The Council of the Senate has issued a report
containing a draft of proposed regulations for the Abbott
Scholarships, which closely resemble the regulations for
the kindred Foundation of Dr. Bell, These regulations
are approved by Mr. Abbott's executors, and if they are
accepted by the Senate, the executors will at once hand
over the £4,000, free of all expenses and with interest
since Mr. Abbott's death.

A sum of £5OO has been offered to the University by the
committee of subscribers to a memorial of the late Rev.W.
Harness, M.A., Prebendary of St. Paui's and Incumbent
of All Saints, Knightsbridge, and formerly of Christ's
College, for the foundation of a prize to be given once in
three years for an English essay on some subject con-
nected with Shakespearian literature by an undergradute
or graduate of not more than three year's standing from
his first degree. The council recommend the acceptance
of this offer.

In another report the council recommend that the
stipend of the Professor of Chemistry be raised to £5OO a
yeer to be paid out of the university chest, and that a
Demonstrator of Chemistry be appointed, with a stipend
of £l5O per annum, also to be paid out of the common
chest.

The Vice-Chancellor has invited the Senate to discuss
these three reports in the Arts' School on Saturday next.

There will be an examination at Queen's College, on
Tuesday, April 25; and Wednesday, April 26, for two
scholarships, open to all persons under 20 years of age,
who shall not have commenced residence in the Univer-
sity. The scholarships will be of the value of £6O per
annum each, one-third of which sum will be paid for each
term kept by residence. One of them will be awarded for
proficiency in classics, and the other for proficiency in
mathematics.

POST OFFICE.—The Post Office has given notice
that, under arrangements made conjointly by the African.
Steamship Company and the British and African Steam
Navigation Company, the number of monthly mail ser-
vices from Liverpool to the West Coast, of Africa is about
to be increased by two additional steamers, sailing respec-
tively on the 18th and 30th of each month.

VICTORIA DISCUSSION SOCIETY.—Lord Lytte:

ton will preside on Monday next at a meeting of the Vic-
toria Discussion Society. Mr. Philip Bevan (Editor of
Food Journal), will read a paper on " The Necessity of
Education in Domestic Economy," and Mr. Wren Hos-
kyns, M.P., Sir A. Brady, C. 8., Mr. Hope, V.C., Cap-
thin Warren, and Dr. Farr have promised to join in the
discussion.

THE LIVERPOOL PILOTS.—On Monday, the pilots
of Liverpool presented to Mr. S. B. Graves, M. P„ one of
the members for the borough, a beautifully illuminated
address in acknowledgment of his services in opposing the
bill introduced lost session for the abolition of compulsory
pilotage.

HEAVY COSTS.—At the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court, in a dispute between lawyers as to the payment of
their costs, it transpired that in the case of Charles
Wynne, silk mercer, Bold-street, Liverpool, who had
been adjudicated bankrupt, a sum of £1,600 had been
transmitted to the trustee, Mr. Hunt, of Manchester, for
the payment of a coupon of Os. 6d. in the pound. Out of
this a claim had been made for upwards of £5OO in the
shape of costs., viz., the trustee for expenses, £247 ; and
various creditors' lawyers, viz., Mr. Marden, £5l; Messrs.
Gregory, Liverpool, £37 ; Messrs. Evans and Lockett,
Liverpool, £ll9. His honour ordered the bills to come in
for taxation.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS. In a case (" Peapell v.
Jones ") which was before the Lambeth County Court on
the 24th inst., the question was raised whether the plain-
tiff could maintain an action for work done and goods
supplied by his wife, a dressmaker. The judge referred
to the " Married Women's Property Act, 1870," and, on
finding that the claim arose previously to the passing
of that Act, gave judgment independently of it. The
learned judge, however, went on to remark that as very
numerous cases of this kind came before him which the
Act affected, he might as well take this oppor-
tunity of making an observation or two on the subject.
It appeared by the 11th section that, in the words of
the Act, " a married woman may maintain an action
in her own name for the recovery of any wages," &c.;
the " may," of course, implying option. But by the
Ist section all such wages, &c., shall be " taken to be pro-
perty held and settled to her separate use," " and her,
receipt alone shall be a good discharge for such wages,"
&c. These words seemed completely to take away the
implied option in Section 11, because the person whose
" receipt alone " constitutes a discharge must be the
person to bring an action. Hence, it followed that in all
cases where women carried on business as dressmakers,
,ionfectioners, smallware dealers, or followed the occupa-
tion of nurse, charwoman, midwife, &c., all of which are
generally carried on " separately " from the husbands,
the women must sue in their own names. They were
invested with the right of separate action, but incurred no
separate liability, as there was no provision for suing a
woman if wages or other property were due by her.—

A HERO OF THE KYBER PASS IN TROUBLE.—At the
Westminster Police-court, a blind old soldier, named
M`Lochlin, who fought in the Sutlej campaign, and was
with the 9th Regiment in the celebrated action at the
Kyber Pass, in Cabool, attended before Mr. Woolrych
and requested his assistance. The applicant has been
twice charged, here, with begging and discharged,
on account of his infirmity, he having partially lost
his sight in the Sutlej campaign, and been dis-
charged with a pension of 6d. a day for eighteen months;
since the cessation of that pension he has excited public
commiseration by begging, with the dress of the Regiment,
and the Cabool medal, and Mr. Woolrych has twice la
him off. M`Lochlin said he thought if the regimentals
were off him that he would be able to get an honest living
as a pedlar. He did not wish to disgrace the regiment or
the Government by going about as he was ;
would the magistrate assist him? Mr. Wool-
rych said he had great sympathy with his mise-
rable condition, but would he cease to exhibit the
medal, as that was an object for commiseration.—
M'Lochlin said he had fought and bled for it, and he
would not part with it, but he would wear it in a pocket.—
Mr. Woolrych said he would assist him, and under his
direction, Davis, the warrant officer, provided the appli-
cant with a new suit, boots, and hat, and with money to
buy a stock of boot laces, &c.

We learn from Dublin that the first ley& for the
season was held on Tuesday by his Excellency the Lord-
Lieutenant. There was a large and distinguished atten-
-dance. The Marquis of Hartington was present.
A CONFESSION OF MURDER.— pit Bow-street,
William Squires was brought up on remand charged upon
his own confession with the murder of Emma Jackson, at
George-street, Bloomsbury, six years ago, and there being
no evidence in support of the charge, he was discharged.
A STRONG-BLINDED WOMAN.—A young woman,
delegate in the recent Ohio Convention of Woman Suf-
fragists, said : " For my own part I love man individually
and collectively better than woman; and so, I am sure,
does every one of my sex, if they, like me, would utter
their real sentiments. lam more anxious for man's ele-
vation and improvement than for woman's, and so is every
true woman."

THE CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The
annual meeting of the Manchester and Salford Auxiliary
of the Church Pastoral Aid Society was held on Monday
evening. From the report of the committee it appears the
diocese of Manchester is placed under a peculiar obliga-
tion to the society, inasmuch as it receives from the funds
£B,OOO per annum, a considerably larger sum than is
granted to any other diocese, and a resolution was passed,
urging the importance of immediate and increased local
exertions.

" SICK CLUBS."-A doctor's bill is not a pleasant
thing to any man. To a working man it is always a thing
of fear, and one of the most important points in connec-
tion with sick clubs is that for their members they prac-
tically do away with doctors' bills. When a man who
belongs to a sick club rises from an illness, ho is not
haunted by thoughts of the coming bill, or how to meet
it. Nor is that the only advantage which a mem-
ber of a sick club has in relation to doctors. A
is not inglaadclylubcolauyltfeeal vdeoryctor, unwellbut
—so unwell
that the fear of the subsequent bill is before his eyes ; so
working
he hangs on,' hoping that he will get better, but instead
manthawthhoe
of that he continues to grow worse and worse, until at
length he is laid on a sick bed, and the doctor has perforce
to be sent for, the dread of his bill notwithstanding. The
club man, on the other hand, is, by the terms of the con-
tract between the club and the doctor; at liberty to consult
the latter wheneverhe likes, and on feeling any premonitory
symptoms of serious illness, at once hastens to do so ; and
iu this way a disease, that if allowed to develop unchecked by
medical skill, would end by laying a man up for months,
and perhaps permanently impairing his constitution, is
often nipped in the bud. The manifold advantages to
working men of belonging to sick clubs are so palpable
that most of them belong to some form of such clubs.
That the clubs are popular with employers is testified to
by the circumstance that in establishments in which there
is a yard club, the workshop fines are almost invariably
given to the funds of the club."—Leisure Hour.

THE PROSPECTS OF SPAIN.—" The backwardness
of agriculture in Spain is due not merely to the want of
capital, but to the fact that the country is under-peopled.
Britain has a population twice as large in proportion to
the area of geographical square miles, and France a popu-
lation two-and-a-half times larger. There are districts
where the land is uncultivated, or cultivated one year and
left idle the next. Great part of the soil of Spain belongs
to its nobility still—a nobility which performs no
public services, hardly ever resides on its estates, is often
out of the country altogether, and of which one never
hears a good word even from Spaniards of a Conservative
turn of mind. No wonder that, especially in Andalusia,
a territorial Socialism has been spreading for some
years among the peasantry, which will some day
lead to disagreeable results. Spain is governed altogether,
in the absence of an upper class, by adventurers;
and nowhere are politics so thoroughly made a trade, and
a trade in which the army takes a part—the last a
fact which is the real distinguishing characteristic,
the differentia, of Spanish politics altogether. Unfortu-
nately, too, the low state of education, whether of the
higher or humbler Mad, prevents the middle classes from
adequately discharging the functions which their aris-
tocracy have ceased even attempting to perform. The
universities and institutes of second instruction (segund,ca
ensenanza) are formed upon the French model, but
lamentably deficient. Scholarship is almost unknown,
even among the clergy, who come out of the pea-
santry, and get barely a smattering of Latin in their .semi-
norios, while of the working classes the per-tentage is
small that can either read or write. Spanish literature

has come to an end, and little is read throughout the
length and breadth of Spain except translations from the
French, made with very little wisdom of selection. So,
while all old beliefs are in a state of decay, little is coming
up to supply their place. The opposition to orthodox
doctrines has not yet got beyond what may be called the
Tom Paine stage ; and the Republicanism and Socialism
of the larger towns is a mere pale reflection of the ruddy
effulgence of that of Lyons and Marseilles."—" Spain and
Her Revolution," in the Cornhill Magazine,

OF THE

CAMDEN AND AMBOY RAILROAD AND TRANSPORTATION,

DELAWARE AND RARITAN CANAL, AND NEW

JERSEY RAILROAD AND TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES,

FORMING THE

In Bonds to Bearer of £2OO Sterling each, at the Price of 92 per

The repayment of the Bonds at par (£.200) in 1894 is secured, in
addition to the Mortgage, by the establishment of an Annual
Sinking Fund, to be paid by the Companies to, and accumu-
lated by, the "Fidelity Insurance Trust and Safe Deposit
Company of Philadelphia."
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN STERLING
MONEY IN LONDON,
FREE FROM ANY FEDERAL OR STATE TAX.

Messrs. J. S. MORGAN and Co. offer for Public Subscription the
above Mortgage Bonds of the United Canal and Railroad
Companies of New Jersey, at the price of £lB4 per £2OO Bond,
payable by Instalments, as under
110 per £lOO Bond on Application.

Subscribers may pay the full amount in advacne on allotment I
or on any of the above-mentioned days, and upon such payments
discount at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum will be allowed.
In case default be made in payment on allotment, or of any of
the instalments on the days named, the allotment will be liable
to be cancelled, and the amounts then already paid forfeited.
Upon payment of the allotment money, Scrip Certificates to
Bearer will be issued to the Subscribers, which will be exchanged
for the Bonds, as soon as possible after payment of the whole
amount of the subscription.
The United Canal and Railroad Companies of New Jersey,
upon whose mortgage security the above Bonds are issued,
consist of " The Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transporta-
tion Company," " The Delaware and Raritan Canal Company,"
and "The New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company,"
who, by agreement betweedthemselves under authority. of the
Legislature of New Jersey, have been united into one interest
and under one management, by which an end was put to the
competition previously existing.
These Railway and Canal Companies form three avenues of
traffic between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash-
ington, as well as the country south and west. They are
amongst the oldest and most successful of all the Railroad
Companies of the United States, and have always been con-
spicuous for their very able and judicious administration.
The paid-up Share Capital of the Companies amounts to
$16,550,000. and the entire Bond and Funded Debt of the Com-
panies (including the £369,200 Sterling Bonds issued in 1869,
and the present issue of £500,000) are covered by Mortgage
Security representing $20,000,000, or £4,000,000.
The aggregate gross earnings of the Companies are nearly
$8,000,000 per annum. The Dividends paid on the Share
Capital are 10 per cent. The net earnings heretofore accumu-
lated in excess of profits divided as Dividend are upwards of.
$1,000,000, which has been expended in the Works, and is not
represented in the Share or Loan Capital.
It will thus be seen that a very large margin or net income
will remain after providing for interest on the Bond debt,
together with a Sinking Fund for its redemption, equal to 2 per
cent. currency per annum on the amount of the Loan, which
will be paid semi-annually to, and accumulated by, the "Fidelity
Trust and Safe Deposit Company of Philadelphia."
It may be mentioned, as an evidence of the value attached in
the United States to this property, that the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad Company has recently offered to lease it in
perpetuity, paying, in addition to the interest on the debt, a
dividend of 10 per cent. per annum to the holders of the
common stock of the Companies. This proposal is now wider
consideration.
The principal secured by the Bends is made repayable at par
in 1894, and the Coupons for interest, at the rate of £6 per cent.
per annum, will be made payable half-yearly, on the Ist Sep-
tember and Ist March in each year ; the first half-ygarly pay-
ment will fall due Ist September next. All payments will be
made in London, in sterling money, clear of all taxation in the
United States.
Applications to be made to 3lessrs. J. S. MORGAN and Co.,
but none will be considered unless accompanied by a deposit of
£lO per Bond applied for. This deposit will be returned with-
out deductionpu.the event of no allotment being made.)
