THE DERBY, OAKS, AND ST. LEGER.

The entries of yearlings, colts, and fillies to run as 3-yr-
olds in these races in 1872 have just closed with 191
nominations for the Derby, 175 for the Oaks, and 196 for
the St. Leger. Last year there was a considerable falling
off in the numbers entered, and this year there is a further
decrease, especially for the Derby, for which the nomina-
tions for the three previous years have been 275, 266, and
217 respectively. The numbers are generally diminished
by nearly a dozen prior to the race, owing to the death of
nominators.

Sir Lydston Newman has determined to dispose of his
entire breeding stud on the 24th of September, at East
Acton, instead of Afamhetid, owing to the remoteness
from London of the latter place.

Prince Edward, of Saxe-Weimar, according to the
Dundee Advertiser, is to shoot this season over the
Glenmuick moors and forest, and . the Prince of Wales
will allow Prince Edward and his party to occupy Birk-
hall.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS,

It is not so many years since the lonian Islands
were voluntarily transferred from the protection of
Great Britain to the rule of Greece ; but, short as
the time is, the lonians have found abundant occa-
sion during the period to repent of the change. All that
the British authorities did for the comfort and well-
being of the inhabitants the Greek authorities seem to
have set themselves to undo. A report from the
English Consul at Cephalonia, which is the largest
of the lonian Islands, describes the existence of
something like a state of anarchy. Before the trans-
fer to Greece an excellent system of rural police was
kept up in Cephalonia, and a sort of special con-
stabulary was organised in all the districts into
which the island was divided. In each.
village there was a Primate ; and under him
chiefs of Fifties, and chiefs of Tens, whose
duty was to keep order and watch over the public
tranquillity • and whos combined with the regular
police—pickets of paid men being established in
every central point—formed an admirable organisa-
tion for the preservation of peace. The value of
such a system amongst a rude and impulsive rural
population, liable at any moment to be hurried int o
collision by the jarring of rival interests, and with
whom a quarrel seldom failed to have its accompani-
ment of bloodshed, was exceedingly great. Under
Greek rule it has all disappeared. It has, in fact,
been suppressed. Strong as it was, it was hardly
sufficient to cope with the elements of disorder ever
present in Cephalonia ; and the existing appliances are
wholly inadequate. The result is an increasing emi-
gration of able-bodied labourers, who seek in other
countries a surer reward of their toil.
London, England, 1870-07-16

EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES.

Earl Granville, some time since, solicited informa-
tion from the New South Wales Government
respecting the class of work-people whose labour is
there most in demand, and the arrangements for the
lodgment Gf any immigrants who happen to arrive
at the colonial ports. Pending the issue of the
official documents on the subject, the Sydney Morning
Herald has thought it expedient to publish some
particulars with which it has become ac-
quainted. It would seem that a depot for immi-
grants to go to, on landing 'on Australian soil,
does exist at Sydney, and a bill which is expected to
become law in the ensuing session of Parliament has
been framed with a view of making every possible
arrangement for the comfort of artisans from other
countries, and for facilitating their early employMent.
The men most needed in Australia are skilled agri-
culturists and young farmers, or farmers with
families having a few hundred pounds at command.
Mere farm servants obtain from £45 to £6O a-year
in the colony, and gardeners often have salaries
of £5O. Female servants employed in agricultural pur-
suits obtain £2O to £3O per annum easily. Blacksmiths
andcarpenters are stated to be the next class of immi-
grants most needed by the settlers, who are willing
to give wages ranging from sixty to seventy pounds
a year for their labour. Genuine labour, however,
on the part of every man is expected, as the colonists
are unwilling to hold out the good things of the
land to foreigners who will not exhibit perseverance
and some ability not of the common order, in return.
The Sydney Herald, though especially enumerating
the classes of employment we have referred to, adds
that there is also plenty of work for bricklayers,
ploughmen, shepherds, and domestic servants, male
and .female.

COMPULSORY PILOTAGE.

The report of the Select Committee on the Pilot-
age Bill is a lengthy document; but the principal
reasons why the abolition of compulsory pilotage is
recommended may be briefly summarised. The
committee think the compulsory system is unjust,
for it obliges many ships that do not require
pilots to pay for keeping up a staff for
those who do. The principle, moreover, tends to
create and maintain a body of protected monopo-
lists, whose interests are not identical with those of
the shipowner, who know that they must be em-
ployed, and whose independent services are probably
not so readily or so effectually given as if their
employment depended on their efficiency. The question
of liability, also, furnishes another and very serious
objection. The liability of the owner and his servants
is-put an end to, and the security against mismanage-
ment arising from this liability is seriously diminish-
ed, whilst persons sustaining damage by collision are
deprived of their remedy. Lastly, the captain and
his officers, from their acquaintance with their ship
and crew, are better able to handle her, even in
pilotage waters, than a pilot to whom
the vessel is strange. To compel the transfer
of charge leads to disaster. Some have recommended
that the pilot be allowed only to advise the captain,
and that the shipowner be liable for the acts of
the pilot. But this would amount to a departure
from the rule that a man is liable for the acts of
those whom he voluntarily employs, but not for the
acts of those whom he is compelled to employ.
Hence abolition pure and simple is decided upon.
The committee believe that the change will not
affect the trade or the pilotage service in any injurious
way.

ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone

nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and otherforms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone or muscle.

QUARANTINE AT HAVRE.

Havre is a French port of increasing importance,
and the business it transacts with England is great.
It would be as well, therefore, if the attention of the
French Minister of Commerce were directed to the
too rigorous policy of the local authorities in carry-
ing out the law of quarantine. Liberal in most
things, the Havre functionaries exact the
whole letter of the law in this matter of
quarantine. Two examples from an official
report will suffice. " A French vessel, bound from
South America to Havre, put into Boulogne in dis-
tress, and remained there ten days repairing damages,
in free communication with the shore. She came on
here, and was at once put in quarantine by the
Officer of Health. Quite recently an English steamer
arrived here from Brazil; her passengers and mails
were landed, and went on their way; the vessel and
crew were put in three days' quarantine, because
the bill of health spoke of tye state of
the port she came from being only pretty
good.' " Some reform either in the law or its
application is loudly called for. It may be worthy
of note that this same report bears testimony to
the continued deterioration of the British seamen
who do business at Havre; but, on the other hand,
it is satisfactory to find an increase of thrift even
among the worst portion of the seamen. The num-
ber of money-orders issued has increased from 58 in
1865 to 799 in 1869.

FIRE-EATERS IN CONGRESS.

The British House of Commons is by no moans
perfect in its character, and displays occasionally
take place amongst its members that are anything
but conducive to order. In the American Congress,
however, the scenes that frequently occur are a dis-
grace to the House, It appears that a quarrel
has for some time been going on in, Congress between
Generals Butler and Farnsworth, and a few weeks
back the dispute culminated in what is
described as " one of the bitterest exhibi-
tions of personal malignity shewn in Congress
for years." The House was engaged on a bill rela-
tive to a patent, when General Farnsworth charged
General Butler with taking fees from both sides in
the case. This Butler denied, and declared that his
opponent had " more beard than brains." Farns7
worth retorted that Butler.. might curse his beard,
but should not come into the House to sitCal.undor

THE nF,,CLARATION OF WAR BY FRANCE

AGAINST PRUSSIA.

- -
i'he Earl of MALMESBURY said the anxiety that existed
with respect to the position of matters between France
and Prussia was very great, and under such circum-
stances he hoped he should be pardoned in transgressing
the rules of their lordships' House in asking a question of
the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs relative
to an announcement that was made in the evening papers,
to the effect that France had declared war against Prussia.
He would only ask the noble earl whether he had received
any official information on the subject.
Earl GRANVILLE said he had no official communication
of the statement made in the French Legislature that
afternoon, but he had no reason to doubt the truth of the
telegram received through Reuter's agency, and it was
with the deepest concern and regret that he gave credence
to the intelligence that war had been declared between
France and Prussia. He did not think their lordships
would wish more than that all the information necessary
to enable them to form a judgment of the conduct of her
Majesty's Government would be laid before them as soon
as it was possible to deal with the great mass of papers
now before them.

NAVAL RETIREMENT.

The Duke of SOMERSET moved for copies of any corres-
pondence betweeniflag officers and the Admiralty relative
to the last scheme of retirement. The noble duke took
objection to the scheme, but the Earl of Camperdown
said he believed the order in Council generally met with
the approval of the service, and with respect to the cor-
respondence there would be no objection to its produc-
tion.—Earl Grey said Ms information on the subject was
directly opposite, as he had been informed that general
discontent and objection existed with respect to the order
referred to.
London, England, 1870-07-16

THE STANDARD.

The Standard says it looks as if both powers are de-
sirous to precipitate a struggle which both are convinced
must come, and probably a great many people will find
some consolation from. the announcement of this terrible,
for terrible it must be, conflict in the same consideration.
It was, humanly speaking, hardly probable that
many years should elapse without the occurrence of
such a struggle, and the temptation to exclaim, the
sooner the tempest begins the sooner will it be
over, to find some. compensation for the violence of the
storm in the hope that it will clear the atmosphere, is
natural enough. But a war that has not broken out, con-
tinues the Standard, is always a war which we may hope
will be avoided ; and we must confess, with all our old
belief, that this war between France and Prussia must
come sooner or later, and in spite of the quasi
conviction which we have entertained since this
question arose that it would produce this war, we
feel that a fearful calamity has fallen upon Europe. To
attempt to measure the length or to gauge the slaughter
of this conflict would be premature now. It is enough,
it is too much, to contemplate the slaughter and the ruin
which must be worked in a conflict to which even the
bloody war of 1866 will appear, by comparison, but child's
play. The people of both countries are eager for the
fight, the Governments have been long preparing for it ;
engines of destruction never before employed will be
largely used; and we may not hope for even the sad, but
still in one sense satisfactory, termination from exhaus-
tion. Worst of all, no one can say that France and Prus-
sia will next month be•the only belligerent Powers.

SHEFFIELD INDEPENDENT.
The Sheffield Independent of to-day says " The declaration
of war is one of the results of the growing weakness of
Napoleon. The avowed occasion of the war is utterly
gratuitous. The French Government sought and found
it, in spite of efforts made by all other nations to preserve
peace. The baffled ambition and the mortified vanity of
France, which could not bear the unity of Germany, have
at last broken all bounds. This week witnesses the first
act of a tragedy—not to be brief, and probably of unex-
ampled destructiveness—of which, as far as we can guess,
it seems the overthrow of the Napoleon dynasty will be
the end."

A BAD CLASS OF EMIGRANTS.

The Canadian journals are complaining that a
large number o f the emigrants sent out by the various
emigration societies in this country are not likely
either to do credit to themselves, or to aid in the
development of the resources of Canada. The
Toronto Globe states that there are in the emigra-
tion shed a large number of lazy characters who are
disinclined to work when the opportunity is offered
them. They spend their time in loafing, and
drinking, and quarrels are continually taking place.
It is to be feared that several impostors have foisted
themselves on those philanthropic ladies and gentle-
men who so earnestly exerted themselves. Owing to
the hurried organisation of the emigration societies,
it is almost inevitable that a few lazy, hulking
fellows may creep in and partake of benefits meant
for the struggling, hard-working artisan. The
greater the reason, therefore, that strict inquiry
shonld be made into the antecedents of all who
apply for assistance. England is glad to get rid of
her vagabonds, but it is hardly fair that Canada
should have to support them.

THE CHILD'S BEST GIFT.
THE TOY ALPHABET, beautifully printed on
tinted Cards in Case, complete; forming a moat amusing
and in btructive present for Children. The elegant style in which
the illustrations to each letter are got up—each with a pleasing
and simple rhyme—and the strikingly apparent usefulness and
novelty of the plan, which is so elegantly carried out, have pro
duced the most unqualified encomiums from some of the most
influential organs of public op:nion, a few of which are appended.
Parents and others desirous of pleasing their children, and
at the same time helping them to take the first step to
learning, cannot do better than purchase a Set of these Alpha-
bets, which are produced in Six varieties, at One Shilling
per Set.
"'THE TOY ALPHABET' supplies an easy and entertaining mode
of teaching little ones their letters, and serves as a plaything at
the same time that it takes the place of a lesson book. All aunts
and uncles, as well as parents, should not fail to get a sight of the
Toy Alphabet, for it is sure to be the delight of every nursery into
which it may find its way.' —The Christian World.
"The eye is riveted and the memory irresistibly impressed. The
scheme has met with great success, and any loving parent, having
a use for such a welcome teacher in the family, cannot complain
when the entire cost of the packet is only One Shilling."—The
Primitive Methodist Advocate.
" Tl.e colour-printing is admirable, and the variety and origi-
nality of the cards, which are produced in several distinct sets,
cannot fail to make them popular."—The Methodist Recorder.

Diseases Acts are in the habit of deliberately getting up
fictitious testimony adverse to those measures. It is their
practice to find out a girl who has been committed to
prison for refusing to submit to examination. They ascer-
tain when she is to be discharged from prison, and when
she issues from the gaol they meet her, and thereupon
extort from her if possible the statement that
she refused to be examined from modesty.
In support of his statement the writer tells the following
remarkable story :—" A few days ago two respectably-
dressed females, who did not give their names, came
to the prison of which I am the governor, and de-
sired to see a female (name unknown to them)
whose imprisonment was to expire on the fol-
lowing morning, and who had been committed from a
certain town (name of town given) on a certain day. Their
object, they said, was to see that the prisoner was `safely
sent home to her friends.' The date of committal, the
name of the town whence she was committed, and the
date of the expiration of her imprisonment being given, I
easily found the prisoner alluded to, and thinking that
the ladies were philanthropists who wished to do the
girl a real good on her discharge, but had for-
gotten her name, I asked them to come to
the prison on the following day. In the meantime I
learned from the girl that she had no friends, but that a
lady in the town from which she was sent had introduced
herself to her, and to all the girls residing in the house
with her, before she went to prison, and told her that she
hoped all the girls in the house would be of one mind, and
not go up any more to be examined. This
lady gave the girl, on her being committed
to prison, the address of a certain person in the town
where this gaol is situated, and told her to go to him on
her discharge from prison. I have very good reason to
believe that the lady who visited the girl before her com-
mitment, the gentleman whose address was given to the
girl, and the ladies who came to meet her are all con-
nected with one another, and with the society who are
desirous of altering the law. The ladies, in fact, ad-
mitted this to be the case. The girl informed the that
she had been examined fortnightly since the law first
came into force, and had never objected until she was
persuaded by the lady to do so. Modesty, therefore, had
nothing to do with the girl's commission of the offence
for which she suffered imprisonment. Surely the work-
ing members of this society will do well to reflect that the
law can punish not only those who break the law, but
those who incite others to do so, and they may rest
assured that false representations will do no good what-
ever to their cause."

FOOT HAWKERS' LICENSES.

Colonel AMCOTTS asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether he had obtained information
from the Chief Constables of counties in England and
Wales on the probable effect of the proposed abolit on of
foot hawkers 'licenses.

Mr. BRUCE said he had received reports from the police
on the subject, but they were private communications,
and could not be produced.

CLERKS IN THE CUSTOMS.

Colonel TAYLOR asked the Secretary to the Treasury
when the revised scale of salaries granted to the clerks in
the Customs in the port of London by Treasury Minute
of 28th November, 1868, but subsequently suspended by
Treasury Letter of Ist January, 1869, will be allowed to
come into force.

MR. STANSFELD said there were three inquiries going
on, namely, in the account department, the out-door, and
the statistical. The latter report had been received, and
when the three had been fully considered they would
state what was the course to be pursued.
GOVERNMENT STORES.

Mr. HOLMS asked the Secretary to the Admiralty,
whether it was true that at any of the Home Victualling
Yards articles of provisions or clothing had been kept
BO long in store that they had to be condemned as use-
less ; and, if so, whether he could state what the articles
are, and how long they had been in store.
Mr. BAXTER said it was quite true that a great quantity
of stores had perished through age, and a thorough in-
vestigation had by his instructions been instituted both at
home and abroad, with a view of preventing such a re•
currence.

A DESPERATE COMBAT.

The Petit Marseillais gives the details of a homicide
committed in that city on the person of a workman named
Tronc, aged 25, employed in the mill of M. Canapal, by
a guard of the octroi, named Sansonetti, a Corsican, and
attached to that administration for the last ten years.
This man had been for some time past made the butt of
sarcasms on the part of the millers on account of
his political opinions, and especially for the warmth with
which he had espoused the cause of Prince Pierre Bona-
parte during the trial. On the morning in question he
came to the mill as usual, but in a state of high excite-
ment, and showing a poniard, threatened to use it if he
were subjected to any fresh insults. Thereupon Tronc,
with a view to preventing bloodshed, slipped behind the
other, and locked him firmly in his as, proceeding
which immediatelyled to a desperate struggle between the
parties. Both soon lost their balance, and rolled on the
ground, Sansonetti striking at his adversary with the
dagger, and four blows taking effect. He at length
abandoned his victim on the arrival of M. Druere, the
inspector, who came to separate the combatants, and in
reply to some indignant remarks made by the latter drew
a double-barrelled pistol from his pocket, saying, " And
here I have the means of killing some more of you !" He
then walked quietly off to the octroi, and there suffered
himself to be arrested. Tronc was taken to the hospital
in a hopeless state.

An outbreak of small-pox has taken place at
Kingston-on-Thames. A few days since there were five
cases in the workhouse infirmary, and the medical officer
reported that the cook and two men nurses had taken it.
The district medical officers reported eighteen cases. It
is said to have broken out in a place known as Young's-
buildings in the town.
The British Museum was open to the public up to
eight p.m. far the first time on Monday last. The total
number of men, women, and children who entered the
Museum in the extra hours between six and eight was on
the first day seventy-five.

MR. CHISHOLM ANSTEY IN INDIA.

Mr. Chisholm Anstey, of Bridgwater celebrity, has
been gathering fresh laurels in litigation on the other
side of the Pacific. It seems from the Bombay papers
that while arguing in a case at the Criminal
Sessions he became involved in a series
of altercations, first with his forensic adversary and
then with the judge. Opposing counsel ara privi-
leged to wage deadly war upon each other, but
when the judicial authority gets involved
in the affray, matters become more serious, and
Mr. Chisholm Anstey found himself committed for
contempt of court, having refused to sit down when
directed. But as the committal was only verbal,
and the too pugnacious barrister was not bodily
removed from the court, he put himself
beside the sheriff, and asked to be arrested.
The Sheriff refused to do anything of the kind, and
when the hearing was over, Mr. Anstey was told he
was discharged. He was not, however, inclined to
forget his wrongs, .and hurried from the Court declar-
ing the matter should not end there. Matters with
which Mr. Anstey is connected seldom do end either
quickly or quietly.

THE MURDERS IN GREECE.

Mr. Alexander Baillie Cochrane, an ex-M.P., ex-
presses some opinions in the Morning Post on the
recent deplorable events which have occurred in
Greece. As a creation of our own, we are
morally and financially interested in the welfare of
Greece. If the suggestion that the northern provinces
should be occupied by a strong military force were
carried, out, it could only result, he says, in the entire
Tcitgir-vf-oh. incLaportaorkoo of A--
of the sum which the military occupation
of the country would cost would cut toads
through the most difficult parts of Greece,
and the income of the country properly
administered is ample to meet all the expen-
diture. In three or four years, roads carried to the
frontier would, do more than any armed force
to put a stop to brigandage, and a small detach-
ment of troops furnished by each of the Powers
might protect the men employed in their construc-
tion.

CLERICAL OPINION ON EDUCATION.

Archdeacon Freeman, speaking on the subject of educa
tion in his visitation charge at Exeter, on Tuesday, said
the poverty of the poor was the reason, to a great extent,
why their children were not found in schools as often as
they should be ; therefore no bill would be of real service
which did not take into consideration this great social
difficulty. The question now raised, as far as the
Church was concerned, was whether they could with a safe
conscience, accept the terms offered in Mr. Forster's
bilL The clergy hitherto had found no difficulty in de-
ciding as to the degree and manner in which they should
impart religious instruction to those who were not children
of the Church. But with regard to the conscience clause
it was plain that there were consciences on both sides to
be considered—the conscience of the teacher, the clergy-
man as well as that of the parent; and there was another as
of the question. If it were said by the parents, "You
must forbear during the whole time of instruction from all
manner of Christian talk and teaching ; you must not breathe
religious thought, much less generate a Christian-like or a
Church-like atmosphere in your room," he (Archdeacon
Freeman) should reply, " You are asking too much ; you
are asking me to forego the varied advantages for the sake
of which alone I ever turned secular teacher at all—it is
not worth my while, spiritually speaking, to be a secular
teacher at such a sacrifice."
