RUPTURES-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions of
1851'and 182), is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred Medical
men to be the most effective invention in the curative treatment
of HERNIA. The use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its
()fleets, is here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the
body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the Moe-
Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and cicse
ness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep.
A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
not fail to fit, f)rwarded by post, on the circumference of the
body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the manu-

NATIVE CHRISTIANS IN INDIA.

A lady who is related to Baboo Keshub Chunder
Sen has surprised all the members of the community
of Brahmos, in India, by becoming a Christian. The
lady, although a widow, is as yet very young, and
her friends attempted to prove that she had not come
to the years of discretion (16) at the time when she
declared her intention of adopting her new form of
belief. A trial was held, and the Judge, an
Englishman, decided that the lady was suffi-
ciently capable of choosing her own creed. To
his judgment, the learned gentleman added his opi-
nion that matters requiring personal discretion of
this kind, did not, in the eye of the law, depend upon
the mental culture or intellect of the individual. An
idea seems to prevail in India, and in England as
well, that Brahmism is, after all, a broad sect of
Christianty. This is a mistake, and some liberal
missionaries have even gone so far as to designate the
Brahmos as their most bitter opponents. The real state
of the case is, that a few, like the Indian Reformer
now in England, are sincere and anxious to propagate
the real tenets of Christianity, whereas the majority
of the community are men who, dissatisfied with the
idolatrous practices and moral restraints of Hin-
dooism, rejoice in a system too vague to control
their conscience, and too lax to demand self-sacrifice
or moral courage.

LITTLE NELL'S.

"For she was dead. There, upon her little bed, she lay
at rest. The solemn stillness was no marvel now.
" She was dead. No sleep so beautiful and calm, so
free from trace of pain, so fair to look upon. . . .
" She was dead. Dear, gentle, patient, noble Nell, was
dead. Her little bird—a poor slight thing the pressure of
a finger would have crushed—was stirring nimbly in its
cage ; and the strong heart of its child-mistress was mute
and motionless for ever."—The Old Curiosity Shop.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS.

A meeting has been held at Edinburgh with
reference to the International Exhibition of 1871.
The Lord Provost presided. Mr. Cole, C. 8., and
Lieutenant-Colonel Scott explained the character of
the exhibition, and the various regulations which
were to be observed. It was suggested that these
exhibitions need not be confined exclusively to Lon-
don, but might appropriately be held at Glasgow and
Manchester. A valuable hint was given by Mr. Cole
to the effect that part of the exhibition might be
sent to Leeds or Edinburgh, if room could be
found for it. A section of the Exhibi-
tion might be forwarded to Edinburgh year
after year. The Italian deputy appointed as com-
missioner at the London International Exhibition of
Working Men, has 'had an interview with Mr. Glad-
stone, who manifested the greatest interest in the
success of the affair. Italian industry will be well
represented in the forthcoming Exhibition, for it
seems that not only the trade unions, but the muni-
cipal and provincial corporations, as well as the
King's Government in Italy, have taken the liveliest
interest in the matter. A committee of Italians has
been appointed in London by the Italian Govern-
ment, the Marquis d'Azeglio being president. The
Exhibition will take place in the Agricultural
Hall, Islington, in the first week in July. The ob-
jects to be exhibited by Italian working men are
daily expected. They will be sent in a Royal steamer.

TREATY WITH SPAIN.

Mr. GRIEVE asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if he would inform the House what pro-
gress hade in regard to a new Treaty of Commerce with
Spain.

Mr. OTWAY said he was unable to say that the negotia-
tions had made much progress since the last question was
addressed to him. Difficulties had arisen with respect to
the wine duties which still continued.

THE CHANNEL PASSAGE.

Mr. Fowler's bill of international communication
has caused great excitement in certain quarters.
special meeting has been held at Folkestone in order
that the town council might receive the report of the
deputation to confer with the Maire and Munici-
pality of Boulogne. The Maire of Boulogne sent A
letter in which he informed them that a demand had
been made to the French Government for necessary
works to render their harbour available for the
reception of large steamers at any time. Among the
various plans which had been prepared was one
which could be carried out for £600,000. Thep
hoped their Government would, as usual, take on
itself the expense, but if not, they would raise tile,
capital privately. Audresserrs was the scene 0.1
many marine disasters, and a most unfit site for
harbour. It was arranged that a copy of the letter
should be sent to the South-Eastern Railway 0°1'1;
pany, and a petition to the House of Lords agalli°

CHARLES DICKENS AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

The Daily News declares that the public will learn with '
satisfaction that the question whether the remains of
Charles Dickens shall rest in Westminster Abbey is re-
ceiving anxious consideration from those nearest and dearest
to him. In illustration of our great author's profound and
deeply-rooted horror of the things he has bidden his repre-
sentatives avoid, we are informed now by the sole survivor of
a certain funeral party at which Dickens was chief mourner,
that it was followed within a few weeks by the publica-
tion of the passages in " Great Expectations," on a stress,
which is almost fierce, is laid upon the wretched mockery
which the undertakers' mummery implies. He chose to
impress his countrymen with the grotesque side of this
outrage then and he has now left them as a legacy his
earnest and solemn procest against it. His funeral
is not only to be private, but is to be devoid of the
mockeries he hated and despised ; and the public
may be satisfied that his express injunctions to the
effect will be religiously carried out. It would seem
on the face of it that this injunction need not interfere
with his lying among the other mighty dead at West-
minster; but his representatives are the only people who
can decide. Of this, the millions who have loved and
admired Dickens, and who are now mourning him, may
.be assured : If his remains are not interred at West-
minster, it will be because those best qualified to judge
have considered it to be incompatible with his wish.
London, England, 1870-06-14

THE GRAND PRIX.

The result of the great French race on Sunday
tends to increase the very general opinion that the
success or ill-success of a horse will much depend upon
the jockey who rides him. Major Fridolin's horse
Bigarreau won three weeks since the French Derby.
The horse was ridden by C. Pratt, an English rider,
whose chief victories have, however, been gained in
France. On Sunday Major Fridolin's Sornette won
the Grand Prix, the horse being steered by Pratt,
whereas Bigarreau, on this occasion ridden by a man
named Lulf, was not even placed. Sornette and Bigar-
reau were the favourites before the start.
A fact significant of the estimation in which
English jockeys are held on the Continent,
was observable on Sunday. Of the twelve
riders who appeared on the ground with their steeds
as competitors for the Grand Prix, no less than
eleven were Britons. The more famous of these
were Fordham, Challoner, T. French, Cannon,
and Maidment, whose horse Valois obtained
third place. The Emperor and Empress and the
Prince were as usual spectators of the struggle. It
is worthy of remark that English sovereigns never
have patronised the race course with their presence.
The only recorded instance was in the year 1840,
when Little Wonder won the Derby. On that occa-
sion the Queen and the late Prince Consort honoured
Epsom with a visit.

THE WANT OF RAIN.

The crops, all over England, will suffer to a con-
siderable extent, if the country is not shortly visited
by a fall of rain. In France plentiful showers of not
only rain, but on one or two occasions of snow, have
fallen, and in Scotland and Ireland no drought of any
consequence has been experienced. In England,
however, the case is different, and fears for the
young turnips, the wheat and barley crops, potatoes
and mangolds are beginning to be expressed generally
by the farmers. In most of the London churches on
Sunday the.prayer for a supply of rain was offered up.

the proper way in which to manage the boat he watched
it and gave the alarm when it capsized. The jury re_

DECLARATION OF THE POLL-ISLE OF
WIGHT.

At the official declaration of the poll for the Isle of
Wight, yesterday, the Deputy Sheriff said the num-
bers were—Cochrane, 1,316 ; Moffatt, 1,282. He there-
fore declared Mr. Cochrane duly elected. Mr. Cochrane,
in returning thanks, said it was seventeen years since a
Conservative member had been returned for the Isle of
Wight. He declared that the election had been a pure
one; and denied any knowledge of the circumstances
under which the Portsmouth mob was brought over to
Ryde. He (Mr. Cochrane) also expressed his sympathy
with Mr. Thurlow under his severe bereavement, and paid
a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Sir John
Simeon, Bart

DECLARATION OF THE POLL-SOUTH
LEICESTERSHIRE.

The declaration of the poll for South Leicestershire
took place yesterday in front of the Castle, Leicester.
The crowd, which numbered about 4,000, were very or-
derly, and used no violence whatever. Mr. Under-
Sheriff Berridge, in the absence of the High Sheriff,who is
indisposed, declared the numbers as follows—Heygate,3,292;
Paget, 2,585. Majority for Heygate, 707. Both candidates
addressed the crowd, Mr. Heygate obtaining a very quiet
hearing. He attributed his return to tho constituency
entertaining constitutional opinions, to volunteer workers,
and to a large majority of the voters agreeing with him on
the subject of education. He regarded it as a protest
against what some people called non-sectarian education,
but which he called irreligious education. Mr. Paget at-
tributed his defeat to the screw and defective State
register. He did not believe that it had anything to do
with education or reciprocity.

The correct majority obtained by Mr. Heygate, the
C onservative candidate, was 712, and not 707. A mistake
was discovered in adding up one of the district returns,
which gave Mr. Heygate 5 more votes.

THE CHILD-WIFE'S.

"How the time wears, I know not; until I am recalled
by my child-wife's old companion. More restless than he
was, he crawls out of his house and looks at me, and wan-
ders to the door, and whines to go upstairs.
"'Not to-night, Jip I Not to-night.'
" He comes very slowly back to me, licks my hand, and
lifts his dim eyes to my face.
" 0, Jip It may be, never again !'
" He lies down at my feet, stretches himself out as if to
sleep, and with a plaintive cry, is dead.
" 0, Agnes ! Look, look here !'
"- That face, so full of pity and of grief, that rain of
tears, that awful, mute appeal to me, that solemn hand
upraised towards Heaven !

" ' Ag.nes?'
"It is over. Darkness comes before my eyes ; and,
for a time, all things are blotted out of my remem-

brance. . .

"0 Agnes, 0 my soul, so may thy face be by me when
I close my life indeed ; so may I when realities are melt-
ing from me like the shadows which I now dismiss, still
find thee near me, pointing upward ! "—David Copperfield.

THE AMERICANS AND CHARLES DICKENS

A. telegram from Washington states that several
preachers in their sermons on Sunday made especial refe-
rence to the death of Charles Dickens, and paid tribute to
the high moral character of his works.

CHARLES DICKENS AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

The Daily News declares the public will learn with
satisfaction that the question whether the remains of
Charles Dickens shall rest in Westminster Abbey is re-
ceiving anxious consideration from those nearest and dearest
to him. In illustration of our great author's profound and
deeply-rooted horror of the things he has bidden his repre-
sentatives avoid, we are informed now by the sole survivor of
a certain funera 1 party at which Dickens was chief mourner,
that it was followed within a few weeks by the publica-
tion of the passages in "Great Expectations," where a stress,
which is almost fierce, is laid upon the wretched mockery
which the undertakers' mummery implies. He chose to
impress his countrymen with the grotesque side of this
outrage then and he has now left them as a legacy his
earnest and solemn protest against it. His funeral
is not only to be private, but is to be devoid of the
mockeries he hated and despised ; and the public
may be satisfied that his express injunctions to the
effect will be religiously carried out. It would seem
on the face of it that this injunction need not interfere
with his lying among the other mighty dead at West-
minster; but his representatives are the only people who
can decide. Of this, the Ani)lions who have loved and
admired Dickens, and who are now mourning him, may
be assured : If his remains are not interred at West-
minster, it will be because those best 'qualified to judge
have considered it to be incompatible with his wish.

THE NEW M.P.'S.

The recent elections for South Leicestershire and
the Isle of Wight have attracted a good deal of
interest, and some curiosity is consequently felt
respecting the new representatives. Mr. William
Unwin Ileygate, who is henceforward to be the
champion and defender of the rights of South Leices-
tershire, was elected in the room of Lord Curzon,
lately moved to the Upper House. Mr. Heygate is
the son of a former Lord Mayor of London, Alder-
man Sir William Heygate, and -was born in 1825.
After passing through college, where he took
honours, he was Called to the bar in .1850,
but his tastes do not seem to have had a forensic
direction, for he does not practice, but is a magistrate
and deputy-lieutenant for Herts and Leicestershire,
and a captain in the Leicestershire Yeomanry. This
is not his first appearance at St. Stephen's, for he sat
for Leicester from 1801 to 1865; and also in 1868 as
member for Stamford. Mr. H eygate married in 1852,
the only daughter of the late Sir George Beaumont, of
Leicestershire. The new Conservative member for the
Isle of Wight ought to attain Parliamentary distinc-
tion in right of his name, for he rejoices in the title of
Alexander Dundas Ross Wishart Baillie Cochrane.
He may be considered as the representative of
both services, for his father was admiral of
the fleet and his mother the daughter of
Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Ross. He is a
magistrate and deputy lieutenan t for Haddington
and Lanark, and first entered Parliament in 1841 as
member for Bridport. In 1846 he was unseated on
petition, but was re-elected for the same con stituency
the following year, the stern electoral morality of
the present day not being then in vogue. He has
had his share of unsuccessful contests, having been
defeated for, Southampton and for the Isle of Wight
itself in 1868. He has some pretensions to lite-
rary celebrity, and informs his constituents that "he
clings to those constitutional principles which are
associated with our time-honoured institutions."

SUNDAY TRADING-.

Mr. THOMAS CHAMBERS asked the Secretary of State
for the Home Department whether he would- lay before
the House a copy of the memorial sent to him in January
last of the West London Association for Enforcing the
Law against Sunday Trading, and all correspondence
relating thereto.
Mr. BRUCE said there would be no objection to lay the
papers on the table if"asked for.

REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL.

A meeting of the Liberals of Bristol was held last even-
ing, and \Vas addressed by Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Odger.
The majority were in favour of the former as the Liberal
candidate. Mr. Odger said he should postpone his de-
cision upon the subject of going to the poll.

UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL,

o'clock.

The House then went into committee on the University
Tests Bill. The two first amendments, proposed by Mr.
J. D. Lewis and Lord Fitzmaurice, were withdrawn, after
a brief discussion, and the first and second clauses were
agreed to. Mr. Stevenson, in Clause 3, moved the omis-
sion of the words, " other than a degree in divinity."
He pointed out that whilst they were opening
out to candidates for the Ministry connected with
non-established churches the benefit of the universities,
they according to the bill denied them the further prose-
cution of the studies in their professional-direction when
they said that they should not be opened to the degrees of
divinity. The Solicitor-General said he was not prepared
to accept the extreme liberalism of the hon. gentleman,
because, although they freely opened the universities
without tests, it was essential to reserve divinity degrees
other than honorarydegrees to some definite form of teaching.
After some remarks from Mr. Hadfield, who strongly
advocated what he called freedom of thought, Mr. Glad-
stone said the proposal was to enable degrees in divinity
to be given irrespective of the religious tenets or prin-
ciples which the person who was about to receive the de-
gree might hold, and he asked how far that principle was
to be carried out.—Dr. Lyon Playfair supported the
amendment, referring to the practice in the Universities in
Scotland.—Mr. Winterbotham said he could understand
the secularisation of the universities, but he did not under-
stand the secularisation of religion. Ha urged the
committee to reject the amendment, remarking
that he did not believe the Dissenters had
asked for it. After some further discussion Mr. Steven-
son said that after the expression of opinion from the
Government he should not press his amendment. At the
same time he regretted that the committee could not see its
way to bringing the English universities to the same point
of liberality in this respect as the Scotch universities.—Mr.
Fawcett remarked that the amendment involved an im-
portant principle, and he thought hon. members opposite
were bound to oppose it. But he could not un-
derstand
why it should meet with any opposition

STORMS IN NEW SOUTH
WALES.

News from the Australian colonies, dated May 20
reports that severe floods have occurred in New
South Wales, by which great damage has been done
and many lives have been lost. Sydney itself is
partly submerged. There has been apparently a very
severe storm, as the less of the Walter Hood is re-
ported off Jervis Bay, thirteen lives being lost with
her.

THE VICTORIAN PARLIAMENT.

The Victorian Parliament re-assembled at the

against an estimated revenue of £3,500,000.
Business is improving, with the exception of min-

THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC.

With a want of acuteness almost become prover-
bial, the Metropolitan Police have apprehended the
wrong men in connection with the recent jewel
robbery at Lady Beaumont's. The circumstances
under which this clever capture was made are
as follow :—One of the prisoners, a labouring

man had been seen standing near a house in Picca-
dilly, and the other had been seen in the same novel
position at the corner of Park-lane. This was
enough for the vigilant detectives, and the men were
at once apprehended. After lying in prison a fort-
night, they have been discharged, the evidence pro-
duced against them being of the most trivial
description. That two persons whose innocence may
be assumed should be imprisoned for so long a period
on such trivial grounds cannot be too strongly de-
nounced.

STAMP DUTY ON LEASES BILL.

The House shortly after went into committee on the
Stamp Duty on Leases Bill, which passed, after amend-
ments and the omission of Clause 2.
THE MERCHANT SHIPPING CODE BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. RATHBONE called attention to the subjects which
the measure did not deal with, and pressed upon the
House certain matters for consideration in committee.

Sir JOHN PAKINGTON thought that a bill of that

magnitude should be in charge of ;responsible Minister
of the Crown. He referred to his motion for an inquiry
into the subject, and said that no one would deny that
there was a necessity for an inquiry. He thought it was
much better to wait than to legislate in a h urry. It was

PRESENTATION TO THE MAYOR OF
BRIDGWATER.

At a banquet held at Bridgwater last night, the Town
Council presented Ethe Mayor, George Bryant Sully,
Esq., with a beautifully chaste service of plate, value
£7O, each article bearing a representation of an infant and
cradle. The presentation was made to commemorate the
interesting event of an addition to the Mayor's family.
Mr. Sully has filled the office of Mayor two years in
succession, and discharged the duties of the mayoralty
during a trying and eventful period in the history of
Bridgewater very efficiently. The presentatation was
made by Mr. Carslake, Town Clerk.

ANOTHER FRAUDULENT TRUSTEE
ABSCONDED.

Within the past few days it has come to light at South
Shields that one of the officials connected with the local
branch of the Ancient Order of Foresters has absconded
with a considerable sum of money belonging to the Widow
and Orphans' Fund. As trustee, he was authorised to ob-
tain from the treasurer of the fund the sum of £340, to be
deposited in the Post Office Savings Bank. The cash was
duly handed to him, and he gave a receipt for it. Instead,
however, of depositing the whole in the bank, he placed
therein only £lOO, and decamped with the remainder,
£240. No clue has yet been obtained as to his where-
abouts.

SINGULAR DEATH OF A paysiciAN.

A much-respected physician, residing at Bercy, near
Paris, has lately fallen a victim to his professional zeal,
under singular and painful circumstances. A young
woman had thrown herself into the Seine from the
Quai de Bercy ; some young men plunged in after
her, and succeeded in bringing her body to the shore.
Dr. Launessau was sent for, and on his arrival found the
young woman apparently dead. He, however, badrecourse
to all the known methods of restoring animation,
and among others to that of reviving the action
of the lungs by the inspiration of his own breath.
After two hours' assiduous efforts he had the satisfaction
of observing signs of recovery. The doctor was ex-
hausted, and as his patient gradually recovered strength
so he became enfeebled and finally died from exhaustion
produced by his incessant and successful efforts to preserve
the life of one who was a complete stranger to him. •

AN INCORRIGIBLE OFFENDER.—At the Middlesex
Sessions, before Mr. Serjeant Cox, Ann Brady, a very
aged woman, was brought up to be dealt with as an incor-
rigible rogue and vagabond. It was stated by Horsford
and Hewitt, officers of the' Mendicity Society, that the
prisoner had been convicted nearly 100 times of begging
and vagrancy, that these convictions ranged over about
30 years, and that she was very seldom out of prison. The
judge sentenced her to be imprisoned 4nd kept to hard
labour for nine months,

CONSERVATISM AND EDUCATION.

Archdeacon Denison, in a letter to the Daily Tele-
graph, expresses an opinion that what has taken
place and is taking place in relation to the Education
Bill, shows what a thing Conservatism is, especially
in matters religious. The true account of the Bill is
that it substitutes in the schools of the Church
national education for Church education. This, he says,
was not only accepted by Conservatism as an escape
from something worse, but wtts welcomed and praised
by it as' a good thing in itself. Conservatism
could not, or would not, see that there must be great
changes ih the bill, and that the unnatural affectim
manifested towards it at its birth by Conservatism
would help largely to make those changes not
pleasant to that " ism." But now that the changes
are brought about, Conservatism goes about the
country in the persons of bishops and clergy, talking
of the bill as if it were the same bill, and dealing
largely in platitudes about preferring religious to secu-
lar schools. Upon the whole, he says, Conservatism is
like a plant forced in a hot bed, watered to death,
with heads always dropping oil unnaturally, and
limp and-unwholesome leaves.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL-SOUTH
LEICESTERSHIRE.

The declaration of the poll for South Leicestershire
took place on Monday in front of the Castle, Leicester.
The crowd, which numbered about 4,000, were very or-
derly, and used no violence whatever. Mr. Under-
Sheriff Berridge, in the absence of the High Sheriff,who is
indisposed, declared the numbers as follows—Heygate,3,292;
Paget, 2,585. Majority for Heygate, 707. Both candidates
addressed the crowd, Mr. Heygate obtaining a very quiet
hearing. He attributed his return to the constituency
entertaining constitutional opinions, to volunteer workers,
and to a large majority of the voters agreeing with him on
the subject of education. He regarded it as a protest
against what some people called non-sectarian education,
but which he called irreligious education. Mr. Paget at-
tributed his defeat to the screw and defective State
register. He did not believe that it had anything to do
with education or reciprocity. The correct majority
obtained by Mr. Heygate, the Conservative candidate,
was 712, and not 707. A mistake was discovered in adding
up one of the district returns, which gave Mr. Heygate
5 more votes.

SEIZURE OF BOMBS IN PARIS.

The police have discovered some new explosive bombs
in Paris. Some of them were in the canal. They seized

and seditious pamphletf. Other proofs of the conspiracy
have been discovered at the residences of four persons. They have been arrested.

PRESIDENT GRANT AND CUBA
(By Atlantic Cable).
NEW YORK, Juno 14.

President Grant has sent a message to Congress, con-
demning the manner in which the conflict in Cuba is
waged on both sides. He represents that the object of
the Cubans in urging the concession of belligerent
rights is to embroil America in a war with
Spain ; and declares his inability to see that the
present conditions of the contest constitute war in the
sense laid down by international law. He invites the
attention of Congress to all the bearings of the question
in connection with the declaration of neutrality, and the
granting of belligerent rights.
The message has been referred to the Committee of the
Senate on Foreign Affairs. A motion to lay it on the
table has been negatived in the House of Representatives.
