principle of fr.. e admission to the sick poor, without the delay and
difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on
voluntary contributions and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition
to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has
for a considerable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent,
as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several
hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to
maintain them.

Contributions are received by their' bankers, Messrs. Brown,
Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.;
'Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.; Herries and Co.; Ransom

LONDON BEAUTIES.

- -
The inhabitants of London are already pretty well
inured to ugliness in the shape of bad buildings, bad
statues, and bad railway statiors; and now their
cup of horrors is to be filled to the brim through the
establishment of an umrstlietic policeman. That.per-
sonage is not particularly artistic at present; but ins
deformity
is to be intensified by a new helmet of the
A u-ti•o-ltusso-Prussian poreidg,..-)ot type, even to the
spike at the top, though the policeman's spike is to
be only of a modest character. Cannot we
honestly borrow the good things of the
Eastern States without copying ;their deformities ?
Is there no one who can devise a policeman's head-
sear which shall stop short of the outrageous ? It
IS true that the present helmet is hideous, but then
people have got accustomed to it, whereas the new
abomination will necessitate a fresh period of tor-
ture.

INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIPS.
Professor Stanley Jevons read a paper Ail
" Industrial Partnerships " at the rooms of the
Society of Arts, He maintained that experience
was in favour of such undertakings and against
the present ordinary relations between employer
• and workman, which no one could regard as satisfac-
tory. He instanced as a proof that the system
which he advocated was not a mere theory the fact
that Messrs. Briggs had worked the Whitwood
Colleries for ten years on this system.
Previous to that period there had been four
long strikes, and the firm had only been
able A) realise an average profit of 5 per
cent. per annum, and were so weary of the business
that they meditated abandoning it when the Act of
1800 permitted a new arrangement. In 1805
they entered into an agreement with their men that
they should divide with the firm all profits above 10
per cent. The result had been the restoration of
peace and confidence between employers and em-
ployed, and during the four years just ended the
profits of the firm had been 12, 13, 131, and 1.3 per
cent., while the workmen received, 2,3, 34, and 3,
1.3 per-cent. at the end of the year as a bonus. Mr.
T. Hughes, M.P., also advocated the "Industrial
Partnership " system.-

ARE LOTTERIES LEGAL OR ILLEGAL?

An answer given in the House of Commons to
Mr. Charley by the Home Secretary would seem to
inner that the Government is of opinion . that
lotteries are legal or illegal according to the
motives . with which they are established.
The Pall MO Gazette considers that the
eisential part of the question is altogether missed.
The point is the means by which money is raised,
and not the object to which it is to be ap-
propriated. If a lottery is a bad thing
at all, it must be bad whatever the pur-
pose for which it is instituted. The same paper
calls the attention of the Government to an adver-
tisement in an Irish paper, setting forth a "brilliant
chance of fortune,' to be obtained by "Original
Government Prize Bonds," " the drawinc, effected
under the guarantee and supervision of the Govern-
ment."

CRICKET.

The cricket season will shortly open under un-
usually favourable cirtumstances. A new North
of England Eleven has been, formed, and the list
of great engagements is very extensive and promising.
It is announced also that the veteran professionals
George Parr, R. Carpenter, T. Hayward, R. Daft,
and J. Smith, will take part in the North and South
match to be played at Lords on Whit-Monday. This
is regarded as a step towards the settlement of the
unfortunate schism which has so long kept these players
from metropolitan grounds. As they are all northern
men, theirabsence has hitherto materiallyimpaired the
balance of strength between the North and the
South, and given the latter on most occasions an easy
victory. Everything promises well for one of the
best and purest of English sports.

THE CORINTH CANAL.

Short cuts through isthmuses bid fair to render
needless the alarm connected with voyages round
stormy headlands. Already "the Cape is avoided,
and not improbably "the Horn" will soon be left to
its Eolitary boisterous self, and a canal cut through
the Isthmus of Darien. The Greeks now, of all
people, are bestirring themselves to follow the
example of scientific engineers. It is very evident
that the Isthmus of Corinth should have been long
ago cut through, if such a performance was possible.
It is annoyine, that a passage from the Piraeus of
Athena, to ?alms, or the more northerly lonian
Islands should have to be made right round the
mainland of the Peloponnesus. The question
arises, Will the Corinth Canal make the Greeks
a livelier people, or Athens a more prosperous
place ? Certainly the trade 'of the Pirmus, the
harbour of the capital, must be increased by it, and
it may be hoped that the civilising influence of a
great engineering work may tend to the expulsion
of that barbarism which still exists in the kingdom
of Greece.

THE DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL EVIL.

- - - ---
The current number of the Christian World con-
tains a story, strange, if true. The Rev. Samuel
Minton, an Evangelical clergyman was vice-
president of two branches of the Young Men's
Christian Association in London. He preached
sermons to his flock, denying the eternity
of evil. Afraid that Christian young men
might be brought to believe that Almighty
goodness might even conquer the devil
some day, a determination was come to to eject Mr.
Minton from his position. The rev. gentleman was
first asked to resign his connection with one branch
of the association, or otherwise many persons
would withdraw their subscriptions. He de-
clined to do so, and a committee meet-
ing of five yomig men determined to omit
his name from the next report, " for calling in
question the truth of eternal evil." The expulsion
was afterwards tarried, it is said, by a majority
attained by two paid secretaries.

very low. The mate of the Mary deposed that the
light was carried thirty-five feet high.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, Wednesday Night.

A shocking tragedy was perpetrated to-day in the
village of Prinlaws, near Leslie, Fifeshire. A man
named Wyse shot his wife in the breast with a gun,
and then committed suicide. A son, who worked in
an adjoining quarry, on going to dinner found the
mother and father deal, in a pool of blood ; one
barrel of the gun was loafed, and it is supposed
Oat after shooting his wife he misse I himself with
the first shot, then reloaded, and discharged with th-
ramrod. Wyse, who is a rabbit catcher, had displayed
signs of great mental excitement several days pre-
vious to the frightful occurrence.
London, England, 1870-04-07

CONVENIENT DEFORMITY.

It is clear that the punishment of hanging is open
to one great defect, from which most other capital
inflictions are free. In order to be hung, a person
must have the right kind of neck to
hang by. This is not the case with the
convict Rutherford. His neck will not, it is
" feared," admit of suspension without causing exces-
sive torture, and thus, though his crime was a heinous
one, it is probable that his sentence will
be commuted. Such a case, it seems,
has once occurred before. Some years ago
a man was condemned to death in the Channel
Islands, but it was found that if he were hanged his
head would probably come off altogether. This
would be effectually carrying out the end
of justice, but hardly in a proper way.
Hence this gentleman's sentence was commuted.
What with letting criminals off through extenuating
circumstances and through inefficient necks, it really
seems as if the infliction of capital funishment in
England were falling into discredit. 4resh arrange-
ments appear to be necessary.

TUE ARCIEDISTIOP OF CANTERBURY.

Dr. Carpenter writes to the Standard with refer-
rence to the health of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
At the request of Mrs. Tait, he states that his Grace's
proness towards recovery is as rapid as could pos-
sibly be expected, considering the severity of his ill-
ness and the damage which resulted from the attack.
His grace has no intention at present of leaving
England, and it is hoped that in the course of a few
weeks he will be able to resume some of his less
onerous duties.

THE CONSCRIPTION RIOTS IN SPAIN.

The disturbances arising out of the conscription in
Spain developed into some serious riots and small
insurrections. The official papers ridicule these
outbreaks, but it is certain that there was
fighting at Gracia and Sanz, as well as
the serious encounter at Barcelona. Cata-
lonia has been proclaimed in a state of siege.
At Barcelona the fighting resulted in the wounding
of several soldiers and civilians. In other parts of
the country the disturbances were of less moment.
At Malaga some police officers were wounded. At
Salamanaca, Tordera, Huelva, and Castellon crowds
of people broke into the places where the drawing
was going on, and interrupted the proceedings. At
the two latter towns they destroyed the ball& urns.
Alt Bejar seventy youths fled to the mountains after
being drawn as conscripts. Small and great, it is
clear that the riots have extended over the whole
country.

THE LATE MR. ucronß.
Another Irish election must be undergore. The
death of Mr. G. H. Moore from serous apoplexy
leaves a vacancy in the representation of Mayo. The
deceased member was a politician of some standing.
Born in 1811, ho was elected for Mayo in 1847, after
a somewhat disastrous racing career. He re-
presented the county Until July 1857, when
he was unseated on petition. After some
ten years banishment from political life, Mr. Moore
was once more elected in 34468, no opposition being
offered. Mr. Moore's death will be a great blow to
tl.e Nationalist party. He was one of its most en-
thusiastic members. His ultra-Liberalism pro-
nounced for a repeal of the union, of tenant right, the
ballot, and some legislative restraint upon absenteeism.
which he regarded as one of the most disastrous con-
sequences of the union, Ile was a fluent and able
speaker, but ;extravagant and crotchetty. His last
feat was his correspondence with Mr. Bolster, chair-
man of the Limerick Farmers' Club. Between
these two passed a series of letters which did
neither of them credit, Mr. Moore taking advantage
of his adversary's name to make divers facetious
remarks upori Mr. Bolster's capacity.

THAMES.

John Sales, aged 30, a labourer, was brought
berore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing Whs. of
whole pepper from a warehouse in the St._Katherine
Dock. The gatekeeper stopped the prisoner as he
was leaving the dock, and discovered 111bs. of
pepper closely picked in front of his person. The
prisoner said that he brought it from a ship in the
duck, and afterwards slid he tooklit from a warehous3
Mr. Muniford, superintendent of the London and
S'. Katherine's Duck Company's own police, slid the
prisoner had b. en at work in the dock eighteen
months and nothing was known against him before.
(The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry for
what he had done. He was sent to prison for two
months and haul labour.

FREE DINNERS.

A very interesting experiment has been made in
Edinburgh during the past winter, the results of which
have just been made public. In the course of 17 weeks
75,168 free daily dinners were given to the neglected
children of the Scottish capital. A surplus of two
hundred pounds remained in hand, the balance of the
subscriptions, and this has been put in the Bank by
the Executive Committee, to be devoted to a similar
purpose next year. At first sight nothing can appear
more gratifying than such a report, but there are not
wanting criticisms and even strictures on the move-
ment. It is said to be a discreditable fact that so
many little ones should be neglected in a prosperous
and populous city, and it is argued that the free dinner
system only enables dissipated and vicious parents to
spend that money in drink which should have gone
towards their children's support. In answer to these
objections it may very readily be admitted that,
however discreditable the fact, we have, and are
likely to have, a large proportion of neglected
children in our great cities for some time to come.
These little ones suffer heavily enough for the sins of
their parents. We need not fear they will not bear
their share of the burden. Such a father or mother
does not restrain himself or herself to feed the hungry
child. The drink is got first, the child must be fed
as it can. We have too many painful instances of
this kind before us to justify us in carrying out the
strict theories of justice and political economy at the
expense of hungry little things who cannot help
themselves.

COLLEGE ARMS.

A. correspondent writes to the Times to ease
the minds of those who imagine they are
liable to armorial bearings duty for using
College Arms. " The Principal of a Diocesan
College" has, it seems, extracted from Somerset
House an opinion that " individuals using paper
bearing college arms in their private cor-
respondence are separately liable to tho duty
in question." The Times correspondent says that
calling on a friend in Lincoln's Inn whose table
was not overburdened with briefs, he put the ques-
tion to him. His reply was that he did not know
whether the " Principal of a Diocesan College " or
the lawyer of Somerset House was more ridiculous,
and that no one was liable to the armorial duty who
did not use a distinct family coat-of-arms.

THE SCOTCH SOLICITORSHIP.

- -
Mr. Maclaurin, who holds the position of Scotch
Solicitor in London, has suffered injury at the hands
of his countryman, Mr. M'Laren, M.P. It seems
that. Mr. 3PLaren wrote a letter to Mr. Gladstone
alleging that the office of Scotch Solicitor in London
had been instituted after the passing of the Reform
Act of 1832; that the salary was £1,000; and that
the fees charged were £1,400. In his evidence
before the Camperdown Commission, he repeated
the statement, with the variation that the
salary was £1,400, and the fees £l,OOO,
adding that "it was a fearful waste of
public money." Mr. Maclaurin affirms that the
office was established long before 1832. No salary
whatever is attached to it, and on a ten years' ave-
rage the fees amount to barely £4OO for hard work
moderately charged and sharply audited. With
these trifling exceptions, doubtless, as the French
say, the rest of Mr. -3PLaren's story is exact. But it
is really too bad to unsettle the public by economical
projects which have no foundation,

ANOTHER IRISH AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.

Another Irish outrage—again agrarian—is reported
from County Meath. Several dealers were proceeding to
the fair of Navan, when they were met on the road by a
party of men with faces blackened. These fellows made
them swear that they would give up certain grass lands
they had taken. The occurrence took place within a
short distance from the police station. _
London, England, 1870-04-22

NEW ZEALAND.

Sir ,George Grey, late Governor General of New
Zealand, points out in a letter to the Standard the
critical position of that colony consequent on the
&scharge of the native levies. We know by the
last telegrams, he says, that the expeditions
against the rebels having failed, the discharge in
question must before now have taken place. A large
party of rebels still remain in arms unconquered. A
considerable body of their countrymen sympathise
with them, including the King party, and these
hostile people occupy central positions of strength
which threaten our weakest out-settlements.
At this moment the last British regiment, the total
cost of which the Colony had offered to re-pay,
is withdrawn from New Zealand under circum-
stances that must create among the natives the
belief that the British Government is angry with
the European settlers, and believes that the
natives have wrongs to avenge. Each man, Sir
George says, raised by the colony for its own forces
costs £l5O, against about £B3 for a British soldier.
Anyone, therefore, he observes, who can at this
moment induce the British Government to aid New
Zealand by a wise system of emigration, or in any
other manner, will earn the lasting gratitude of that
country.

THE EFFECTS OF BAD TEMPER.--Mary Smith,
aged 40, described as of 57, Bessborough-place,
Pimlico, was placed at the bar charged with attempt-
ing to commit suicide. The prisoner was seen by
the police loitering about Lambeth bridge, and when
spoken to she said she intended to commit suicide.
The husband said the prisoner's temper caused him
the greatest uneasiness. He had had no quarrel with
her, but she had quarrelled with a female friend, and
hence her declaration to destroy herself. The magis-
trate discharged the woman, and told her not to give
way to her bad temper for the future.

PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appointment,
312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and
23, MoORGATE-STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most
perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted
by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age
for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions,
can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of
forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above.
The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity fi om
pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful,
loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth
never change colour or decay—in fit unerring ease and comfort
unsurpassed -detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully
studied - and youthful appearance restored—mastication and arti-
culation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good
an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth
from 55.; sets, sto 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only addresses,
312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic; and 23,
Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office.

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Post says that the United States Supreme Court
has pismissed the appeal from its former decision that the
Legal Tender Act should not be valid in cases of con-
tract made before the passing of that Act. This judg-
mlnt, we need hardly say, possesses very great general
and political interest. It is of direct importance to every
one who holds securities issued by any of the States, or
by railway and other corporations in the States, prior to
February 25, 1862. The weight of legal authority in
the United States is probably on the side or the total
unconstitutionality of the Legal Tender Act ; at the
best, it was a " war measure," to bs legally enforced
only under the pressure of military necessity
and illegal as soon as this pressure was removed.
But the decision which the Supreme Court has just given,
taken in connection with the decision it gave some months
ago, and has now affirmed, is, as we have said, to the
effect that contracts made for gold, after the passing oi
the Act, must be paid in gold; end that contracts made
before the passing of the Act, whether specifically for pay-
ment in gold or not, must be paid in gold. Thus nothing
is left in doubt but those contracts, not specifically for
gold, made after the passing of the Act. It must ba con-
fessed that the makers of those contracts, if they neglected
to stipulate for gold, must have contemplated payment in
legal tender paper ; and that they have, in equity, no
reason to demand payment in coin.

TYPHUS IN IVIIITEITAVEN.---The 'War Office bas,
we understand, countermanded the order for the assem-
bling of the militia in the town of Whitehaven, in conse-
quence of the prevalence of typhus fever in that town. Dr,
BBuchanan, one of the Privy Council officers, is now pro-
cutingan inquiry with reference to the outbreak.—Britig
Medical Journal.

All explozioli cf gunpowder took place on Thurs-
day at Newcastle-under-Lyme. The explosion occurred
in a powder warehouse belonging to Mr. Baildon, an iron-
monger. The warehouse is in ruins. A house. adjoining
it was blown down, burying a man and two children,
Three - houses-cpposite were partially blown doWn, and
!MITT4.I othm were more or less injured, as also the stables
of the Castle Hotel. The life of one o; the persons injured
is despaired of. The shock of the explosion was felt 0701

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

The North Staffordshire. Provident Association—a
large and well-conducted friendly society—strongly
condemns Mr. Lowe's proposal to abolish the office
of registrar of friendly societies. No doubt the
powers of the registrar were very weak. But the proper
course, in the opinion of this body, would be to make
more stringent laws. The registrar should be armed
with powers to prevent the formation of, and to com-
pulsorily wind up, any society whose table of sub-
scriptions or rules seems inadequate to the objects
for which it is established, or whose management is
of such a nature as to involve it in difficulties.
