IMPRISONMENT 'UNDER THE DEBTOR'S ACT.—
Mr. Baron Martin has made several orders under the
Debtor's Act for payment of debts by instalment, and in
default commitment to prison, Some of the other learned
judges have required second applications before a commit-
ment was ordered ; and Mr. Justice Willes has laid it
down that the Act gave no authority to commit without a
second application. Mr. Baron Martin intends to bring
the matter before the judges to obtain a settled practice
on such an important subject as this is.
THE GEOGRAPHICAL SoaHry.—At the meeting
of the Royal Geographical Society on Monday night, Sir
Henry Rawlinson announced that at the request of the
Council, in consequence of the continued illness of Sir
Roderick Murchison, he had accepted tne post of ad
interim President, which he intended holding until May,
when, at the anniversary meeting, the Fellows would pro-
ceed to elect to the presidential chair for the succeeding
two years. On the previous day he had the pleasure
of half an hour's conversation with Sir Roderick Murchi-
son,. whom he found, although confined to an invalid
chair, as active minded as ever, and as warmly interested
as formerly in the proceedings and the welfare of the
institution. He desired to have conveyed to the members
his sincere gratification at the expression of their sympathy
in his past and present affiction, and their earnest hope for
his recovery.
THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—It is often said that his-
tory repeats itself, and if the words which Shakespere
puts into the mouth of Henry, Earl of Richmond, on the
eve of the battle of Bosworth may be taken as expressive
of the real sentiments of the Duke, whose morality was
at least questionable before he overcame his Royal adver-
sary, his feelings may be said to have arisen again in the
breast of a monarch now in the field. The Earl of Rich-
mond's prayer in time of warfare was ;
" 0 Thou, whose Captain I account myself,
Look on my forces with a gracious eye;
Put in their hands Thy. bruising irons of wrath,
That they may, crush down with a heavy fall
Ph' usurping helmets of our adversaries !
Make us Thy Ministers of chastisement,
That we may praise Thee on Thy victory !
To Thee I do commend my watchful soul,
Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes :
Sleeping and waking, 0, Defend me still !"
BREAKFAST.—EPPWS COCOA.--GRATEFUL AND COM-
FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this preparation has
rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette re
marks :—" By a. thorough knowledge of the natural laws which
govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a
careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa,
Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors'
bills. Each packet is labelled—JA3iss EPPS & Co., Homoeo-
pathic Chemists, London. Also, makers of Epps's Caoabine, a
very thin evening beverage. —Advt.
