VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CIIILD RE N
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted In the present building.
.£B,OOO at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme
Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea-
surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by

THE NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA.

The Times of yesterday is kind enough to inform us
that "important telegraphic information from China
has been received announcing that, previous to his
departure from Pekin Sir Rutherford Akock con-
cluded the negotiation of a treaty with the
Imperial Government." It is to be regretted
that this telegram is so obscure as to render the
terms of the treaty almost unintelligible ; but the
defect is of less consequence, as the announcement of
the treaty, and its main stipulations were given by
Central Press telegram several days ago, and therefore
the " important telegraphic information " is no infor-
mation at all. The terms given by the
Times are much the same as those al-
ready published by us. One sentence of this
message is as follows:—" A. transit duty of 21 per
cent. to be levied on imports at treaty ports, in addi-
tion to the present duty of 5 per cent. Imports to
be subsequently held free of duty by the Chinese
Government. If the goods are taxed, a receipt to be
given, and the amount levied to be made good by
the Government." The Times presumes that the
transit duty of 21 per cent. on imports is supposed.
to bo intended to free importers from the various ex-
tortions to which they have hitherto been liable in
the interior, the Government undertaking to refund
any amounts which may be forcibly exacted by local
authorities. The duty on opium is raised to 50 taels
and that on silk doubled.

THE LICENSING SYSTEM.
That hitherto not imperially famous journal the
Licensed Victuallers' Guardian has got into Govern-
ment confidence, and is able to tell us that a bill to
amend the licensing system is in preparation. «One
of its provisions is eccentric enough to have been
framed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It
is to the effect that all new licences will in future
be subject to monetary competition—that is, assum-
ing the magistrates of a district town or county
are prepared, for example, to grant six new
licences, then each of the applicants will be required
to send in a sealed tender, stating what premium he
is prepared to pay for the grant of the licence. The
magistrates will open these tenders, and the licence
will be granted to the highest bidder." This clause
is, indeed, quite eccentric enough for Mr. Lowe or
any other Minister soever. The Guardia?' hopes to
lay all the clauses before the trade in its next
issur
and if the remaining provisions are anything '
remarkable sample, both the trade and
will enjoy an intellectual treat. The:4,o
Victuallers' Association is alarmed at tly.
the new bill. It is proposed to organ,
oonositiou.

MR. MADDEN AND THE GOVERNMENT.

Mr. Madden, who has been recently- removed from
the Commission of the Peace for using language in-
sulting to the Government, writes a letter to the
newspapers, stating that he has received so many
letters of sympathy from all parts of the kingdom
that it would be impossible to answer them. He
complains of " reckless misstatements of the Radical
Press," and that he has been confounded with his
brother, Captain Madden, who is very " outspoken,"
but not a magistrate. Mr. Madden repudiates the
imputation that he intended to scoff at the honour of
serving the Queen, and declares that what he did in-
tend was "to protest against being made the tool of
a Ministry, who was leading the country on the high
road to ruin." ~ •

SIR C. DILKE ON FOREIGN POLICY.

Sir Charles Dilke has been telling his constituents
at Kensing_ton what he thinks about our relations
abroad. lle said a good deal as to what would
happen if certain great wars in which one
half of , Europe was arrayed against the other
took place ; but as these combinations are not pro-
bable, their results are not highly interesting. • More
to the point is fir Uharles'iltcrittaA4st ltussian pro-
gress in Central Asia. He thinks the march of Mus-
covite power far more dangerous to American inte-
rests in China and. Japan than to English interests in
India. A. Russian annexation of China must be
avoided by adherence to our peace policy. Respecting
the Alabama claims, the member for Chelsea
expressed his opinion that the speech of Mr. Sumner
was misinterpreted, for it was only the explanation
of the American case as it has always been stated.
The President, in his late message, had said that
the recognition of belligerency was a matter which
every nation should consider for itself—a declaration
which must have been made to pave the way for a
settlement of the Alabama question. Instead of
resorting to arbitration, an English commission, Sir
Charles thought, should. he appointed to assess the
claims. If a special envoy were sent, and Mr. Bright
refused to go, Sir Henry Bulwer and the Duke of
Argyll were both good men; but he was of opinion
that the mission at Washington should be made a
first-class one. In any case negotiations must take
place at Washington, as the Senate was the treaty-
making power.

LAW REFORM.

Vague and uncertain rumours are in circulation of
forthcoming law reforms. The Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council is especially marked out for great
changes. Some of our contemporaries are looking upon
it as an arranged matter that the voluntary system,
under which retired judges and Lord Chancellors
out of employment are utilised, will be swept away,
perhaps even in the coming session. A paid Presi-
dent,. we are told, and two paid
.judges, are to be
appointed. So very circumstantial is the report that
an addition is made to it to the effect that Sir
Roundell Palmer, Mr. Forsyth, and Mr. Dilke are to
have the places.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE VOLUNTEERS.

At a special meeting of the metropolitan com-
manding officers, held at the offices of the
National Rifle Association to consider certain pro-
positions from her- Majesty's Government with
regard to the support to be given to the volun-
teers, - Colonel Lord Fleho ;aid the -circular
of the Secretary for War dealt with points raised by
volunteer officers while at an interview with him.
They were that on inspection and field days the
volunteer force should be brought into connection
with the regular forces, and that the civilian character
of the volunteer force should be maintained when
not actually in the field; that only the expenses of
efficients could be recognised as fair to charge against
the public, and that therefore every Volun-
teer be expected to become efficient and earn
the capitation grant, or contribute a like amount
to the funds of his corps ; and that all necessary
expenses of efficients, namely, all the expenses
which the Secretary of State for War could admit
to be necessary, should be borne by the public.
It was proposed to abolish the 20s. capita-
tion allowance, and retain the 305., and to make
the class rules for rifle practice less stringent.
Various other propositions were made. A long
discussion took place, it being eventually agreed that
a committee of nine commanding officers, represent-
ing all branches of the volunteer service, should be
formed to draw up a series of questions for ascertain-
ing the opinions of all the volunteer commanding
officers throughout the kingdom.

success, not perfect, certainly, but still a decided
success. He had no doubt that the water-way could be
more easily kept in working order than the streets of
London could be kept free? clean, and in proper repair.
As to the financial
.question, he had been assured
that, after paying interest on capital, cost of main-
tenance, and all expenses, there would, on the
lowest calculation, be a large clear surplus.

THE PRESERVATION OF MEAM

Professor Gamgee has returned from America,
where he has been making practical researches
with a view to determine the best mode of
preserving the flesh of animals for food. lie is ready,
it is said, with a method of preservation that he is
prepared to expose to all reasonable tests, and by
which he expects at once to remove butcher's meat
from the number of perishable commodities. The
system has already been tried in England. By the
help of Miss Bonser, of Newgate Market, a certain
number of preserved carcases were offered to butchers
for sale at a somewhat enhanced price, the result being
that a continuous supply has been thrown into the
market and sold with readiness. There is little in
co!our and appearance, and nothing as regards flavour
and texture, to distinguish the preserved meat
from that slaughtered in the usual way.
The chief or only difference is that the
former will keep good from periods varying
from three to twelve months, according to the length
of time it has been exposed to the gases employed.
The chief agent is sulphurous acid. In addition to the
value of the discovery in the way of preserving meat,
much of the cruelty attending the present system of
killing will be done away with. In the first
place the animals are killed by being made to breathe
carbonic oxide—that is, by a process analagous to the
administration of chloroform, whereby insensibility
is quickly produced. The animal is then
bled, the carcase dressed in the ordinary
way, and when cold placed in an , air-tight
chamber into which an atmosphere of mixed car-
bonic oxide and nitrogen is driven by a blower. Acid
thrown off from charcoal is subsequently imparted
to the meat, which is then loft in the chamber-un-
clistuded .fQz. _in the_ case of_ sheen. alma

IiLECTION DOINGS.

The seat at Bridnorth, left vacant by the resigna-
tion of Mr. H. Whitmore, will be sought by. Mr. W.
H. Foster, in the Liberal interest. He has issued an
address, in which he promises an independent sup-
port to the Gladstone Government. The Liberals
of Lynn have completed their investigations touching
Conservative " practices " at the last election. The re-
sult has proved unsatisfactory to them, and it has
been decided not to petition against the return of
Lord Claud Hamilton.

THE MAN WHO DIDN'T GET IN.

Mr. John Martin, writing from New York about a
fortnight before his decisive defeat for Longford
County by Mr. Greville Nugent, explains the policy
he would adopt had he been returned. He believes
in the demands of the extreme Irish party, but objects
to all violent means of securing them. What he
desires is "a peaceful settlement of Ireland's national
quarrel with the English, in the form of a repeal of
the Act of Union, which was imposed upon Ireland
in 1800 by fraud and force, and by means of which
the English have usurped the power to make laws for
Ireland against the wishes and interests of her
people." Had he been elected, he would have
striven for this end by constitutional means. But the
people of Longford.were not to be won by this pro-
gramme. The priests declared against Mr. Martin,
and the pacific Nationalists of Longford have been
able to muster an array of only 411 votes, against
1,578 granted to the successful competitor. A
petition against Mr. Greville Nugent is spoken of on
the ground of intimidation and corruption.

are abundant. The Mayor of Southampton has
found out that it was a mistake to take carte blanche
in the matter of expenses whilst the election petition
wits being heard in that town. lie sent in a bill for
£378, and the Treasury has cut it down to £133.
The Mayor demanded £l7B odd for fitting up the
cjurt, and he has got only £4O; for judges' lodgings
he charged 100 guineas, and has been allowed £5O;
for messengers, trumpeters, and heralds (what can
the latter personages have to do with an election
petition?) he asked £l6, and is granted £3 45.; and so
on with other items.

THE WORKING MAN IN SOUTHWARK.

Were the Southwark election coming off next week,
Mr. Odger and his supporters could not be more active.
The Irish electors have pronounced for him. At a
large gathering of Ilibernians on Thursday night,
Mr. MDonnell, secretary of the Amnesty Committee,
declined to come forward as a candidate, but strongly
urged that the Irish vote should be given to Mr.
o.lger. "Of Mr. Odger I can only say, if he cannot
serve you, he will never do you harm. His voice,
I am certain, will at all times be raised on behalf
of the impoverished and degraded people of
Ireland. Then give him your undivided
support, and shew the press and the people
how you appreciate an honest Englishman."
Mr. Stuart Mill, too, has been asked to become a
candidate, and he also declines, partly because he has
determined for the present not to re-enter Parlia-
ment, and partly because he thinks Mr. Odger the
right man, and will not interfere with him. The
working-man candidate himself is energetic. lle

on. Thursday evening. The artisans of the borough
have got bands and banners to work.

THE PATENT LAWS.

Sir Roundel' Palmer, Lord Stanley (the Earl of
Derby), Mr. Macfie, and some other members of
Parliament raised last session the whole subject of
our Patent Laws, by advocating their entire abolition.
The discussion has since been carried on with varying
vigour. The Government promised to consider
the matter, and many writQrs and speakers had come
forward to show Ministers how to solve the difficulty.
Mr. Charles Reade even has helped to discredit the sys-
tem which now obtains. In his vigorous novel,
being published in the Cornhill Magazine, " Put
Yourself in His Place," he describes in a pitiful tone
"the sorrows of an inventor." The amount of
trouble his hero had to go through to secure his right
to his own idea is something very heart-rending ;
and are—glad- to learn -frentr-rTgamest.ileadv
News that a great deal of it is needless
or impossible. Mr. Reade has spoken of various
Chancery officials, and detailed divers Chancery pro-
ceedings ; the officials, and the arrangements with
them arising in each case out of his own fertile ima-
gination. The reason why the Daily .News is thus
anxious to set Mr. Reade right is explained by
the Liverpool Post: the Government (our contem-
porary states) intend suggesting no Patent legislation
this year. At the same time inquiry is thought
necessary ; and a proposal will be made for a Parlia-
mentary committee—that mode of investigation being
regarded as preferable to a Royal Commission.

SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF Tim

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
JL 62, Lu igate 11111, London, E.C.

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.

. _
The Annual Premium Income of the Company, at the
close of 1868, was £120,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured .£1.832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:--
Ist—The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Conipalios.
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.]
Tho Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,562,960. Tho present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Ceut. 'fables, throwing off the entire load-
ing. wa,, £139,322 15 8
The Premium income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve 50,000 0 0

£lB 822 15 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does tot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very larga proportion of
Policies which const•intly lar se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

Tho Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
die Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average age of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.

THE HARBOUR 01 ADEN.

The Pall Mall Gazette calls attention to the latest news
respecting the condition of Adon. The Secretary of State
for India has asked for a report on the best means of im-
proving the channel and harbour, and the Bombay papers
announce that the probable cost of the work will be in-
cluded in this year's Budget, and the dredging machi-
nery which will be required will in all probability
be ordered from England. Aden has been styled the
Gibraltar of the Red Sea, but it has not received sufficient
attention at the hands of the English Government. The
port has been neglected. Aden is the coaling station for
the steamers running between Suez and the seaports of
India and China, and it also gains a considerable share
of Arabian commerce. The Mocha coffee is brought
to Aden for shipment, and the African and Arabian mer-
chants are inclined to regard the port as a centre for the
trade of the Red Sea and the west part of the Indian
Ocean.

PROFESSOR FAWCETT ON EDUCATION.

At a meeting of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
Aiation, at Cambridge, Professor Fawcett, in speaking
on the subject of education, paid a tribute to those
who have neither spared labour nor money to edu-
cate the people through the principles of voluntaryism.
He argued that Government interference can only
b 3 tolerated if that which it seeks to do cannot be
done without it. Facts, he contends, prove beyond
dispute, that if we went on in the future as we had
in the past, the education of the nation would never
b 3 secured. Everything should be done not
to interfere more than is necessary between the
parent and child, but we ought for ever to banish
the idea that liberty is in the slightest degree in-
fringed if a parent is prevented from inflidting upon
his child the irreparable injury which ignorance
entails. "I maintain," says Professor Fawcett,
"that in a civilised country a man is as clearly bound
to educate his child as he is to feed and clothe him."

THE RED RIVER REBELLION.

The news from the Red River Settlement is much
more lively than agreeable, The small number of
armed settlers who are called " the insurgents " are
having everything their own way at present. They
have tried forty-five loyal Canadians, and have
sentenced them to banishment from the agreeable
region over which the rebellion extends. The tele-
graph tells us, too, that a reign of terror prevails
amongst the inhabitants. The insurgents are mostly
French settlers, though what they want is as pro-
blematical as ever. But it is quite as well that the
resolution to arm the Indians against them has not
been persevered with.

TILE PRUSSIAN PRESS ON FRANCE.

The Berlin Borsen:eituny says that the Emperor Napoleon
will make every possible use of the liberal puppet, and so
c ,joie public opinion. Those who know the Emperor dc
not believe that he intends to turn liberal. He has kept
his place by destroying every vestige of municipal freedom
and without such freedom a parliamentry government is
impossible. The Emperor knows this very well and
endeavours to make a showy constitutionalism serve his
turn. A parliamentary empire can never become more
than the vain dream of some ambitious men.
