THE CHILD'S BEST GIFT.

THE TOY ALPHABET, beautifully printed on
tinted Cards in Case, complete; forming a most amusing
and inbtructive 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 carded out, have pro
duced the most unqualified encomiums from some of the most
influential organs of public opinion, 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 produ"ed 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 vs parents, should not fail to get a sight of the
Toy Alphabet, for it is sure to he 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 bas 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.

"TI 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.

South Leicestershire,

The promotion of Viscount Curzon to the Upper
House may give rise to a stout battle for the South
Leicestershire seat, which he leaves vacant.- Party
struggles in that constituency have been very severe
of late. For the thirty-five years preceding 1807, no
Liberal had ever been sent to Parliament by South
Leicestershire. In that year Mr. Packe died, and
Mr. Paget fought a Liberal battle against Mr. Pell.
The contest was very severe ; but the Conservatives
were perhaps a little too confident of retaining a seat
which they had held so long, and hence Mr. Paget
won by 2,302 to 2,264. This defeat roused the Con 7
servative party ; they made great exertions to turn
the register in their favour; and when the general
election took place the issue of 1861', was reversed.
Mr. Paget was 250 votes behind Mr. Pell, and a little_
more in the rear of Viscount Curzon. How the ap-
proaching contest will end is therefore an interesting
question,_ Mr. Heygate, of Mappleton Grange, near
Loughborough, has accepted the Conservative invi-
tation, and Mr. Paget will again do battle for the
Liberals. Both candidates have much local in-
fluence.

Wanted, a Representative.

The Conservatives in East Suffolk are in a very
unwonted difficulty—they cannot find a candidate.
That division of the county has been held
uninterruptedly by the Tories since 1835,
while the Liberals, who have six times con-
tested the seats, have been defeated by large
majorities, and yet the vacant seat is now likely to bo
filled by a Liberal or Radical, for lack of
the bodily presence of a live Conservative
at the hustings. Whether on the princi-
ple of tuujours perdrix the Suffolk Conservatives
are wearied of continual success, and think the
chance of a defeat elsewhere more attractive, or
whether politics are going out of fashion in the
county, is uncertain ; but the senior member for
East Suffolk is likely to bare a Radical
colleague. There is no lack of party
spirit on the subject, for several indignant
Conservatives are loudly denouncing the supineness
of their kindred politicians. As their energies, how-
ever, only expend themselves in wrathful correspond-
ence, there is not much chance of their securing the
seat.

Female Education in India.

Miss Mary Carpenter addressed a meeting called by
the East India Association on female education in
India. The interest of the occasion was added to by the
presence of Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen and several
Hindoo ladies and gentlemen in native costume, Miss
Carpenter described her mission in India. Its object,
she said, was not to found institutions, but
to learn what could be done to help
native gentlemen in the great work which
only of late they had been . able to promote.
At present girls were taken from school at 11 years
of age, partly because it was not considered proper
for them to remain under male teachers
after that age. She referred to several
native gentlemen who had suffered religious persecu-
tion for their efforts to emancipate their ladies from
the social customs of India, and detailed the made
which she adopted to bring about an improved
system of instruction by native women teachers.
What was chiefly wanted, she observed, was Govern-
ment recognition of the system.
Threatened Strike in the Iron Trade.

The Railway News notices the improved position
of the iron trade, the demand of the miners for
increased wages, and the prospect of a strike if the
masters are not sufficiently well advised to make mo-
derate concessions. A. strike in this direction is most
seriously to be deprecated. The iron trade just now
is showing gratifying symptoms of a recovery from a
long period of inactivity. According to the state-
ment of the President of the Miners' Association the
stock of iron during the last few months has been
reduced by no less than 20,000 tons, and so short
is the supply at the present time that
in the Cleveland district, if the men who
supplied the hundred and one furnaces, were
to take six days' holiday the furnaces would be
closed for want of material. It would, says the
Railway News, be far better to pay an increased
rate of wages and rely upon improved prices in
the market than to paralyse the operations of one
of the most important branches of our national
industry.
The Society of Friends and Education.
A deputation from the Society of Friends has
waited on Mr. Gladstone and Mr. W. E. Forster, on
the subject of the Elementary Education Bill. A
document was handed to the Prime Minister,
in favour of Bible and Scriptural instruction,
in elementary schools, but suggesting that the teach-
ing of any denominational catechism or peculiar
doctrine should be prohibited as a direct infringe-
ment of religious liberty. It also urged the adequate
provision of schools in districts where there were
no board schools.

THE CAPE MAIL.

----- ---
PLYMOUTH, May 14.
The Royal mail steamer Natal, from the Cape,
arrived here at five p.m. to-day.
Trade has been exceptionally dull at Natal during
the early part of March, and the heat excessive, but

during the latter part the rain set in.
A serious conflict, lasting three days, bad taken
place between the Portuguese expedition and a large
tribe on the southern banks of the Zambesi. Ilie
natives were entirely defeated.
Sir J. Swinburne ,had arrived at Durban from the
Tatin gold fields. Several Australian miners had
also returned from Tatin, disheartened by the slow
progress there, and many were about to return to Aus-
tralia. Thepetition to Queen Victoria from the 'louse
of Assembly comes home by the Natal. It expresses
a desire to remain an integral portion
of the
Queen's dominions, and hopes that the present gar-
rison at the Cape will not be withdrawn until the
success of the two great experiments of filling UP
Transkeian territory with kings and Kaffirs, tan'l of
annexing Basutoland, is tested, and the colony is
enabled to make effectual provision for the protec-
tion of the frontier. The Cape Mounted Riflemen
were disbanded at King William's Town on the 21st
of March.

Tory Nationalism.

The Longford Election has resulted in a victory
for the Liberal, Mr. Greville Nugent, over the Tory-
Nationalist, Mr. King Harman. The Standard ex-
presses no regret at such a result. It is, in the
opinion of all good Conservatives, a bad thing that a
supporter of Mr. Gladstone and the nominee
of the Catholic priesthood should be returned; but
there is a worse fate for Longford even than
This, and the Standard thinks it would be found in the
election of Mr. King Harman. The Conservative paper
is very severe upon this gentleman's confession of
political faith. " The hybrid phrase which describes
his views, or professions, is an insult at once to the
loyalty and the • honour of the Tory party, and to
the intelligence of the Irish people. Between
the Tory and the Irish Nationalist there
is an impassable gulf ; they stand at the very oppo-
site poles of political conviction, and between them
lie all the shades of opinion, from that of the most
moderate or Constitutional Liberal down to that of
the wildest Radical who still professes a sincere
allegiance to the Crown and to the law,
a true attachment to the integrity of the
empire and the safety of the country."
Loyalty to Queen and Constitution, continues the
Standard, is the foundation of a Tory's political
faith; Irish Nationalism, even if it admit a saving
clause to preserve the show of allegiance to the
Sovereign, aims at a change which would render the
Constitution little more than a name, and the Sove-
reign's authority in Ireland the very shadow of a
shade. It will be strange if the new Tory Nationalist
theory survive this assault.

The Observatory in Danger.

Astronomers and lovers of nature will alike be
dismayed to hear of the last innovation of those
terrible iconoclasts—the railway companies.
It is proposed to invade Greenwich Park, and a line
is to pass right through it, to the great
vexation of holiday-goers and the infinite annoy-
ance of the inmates of the Observatory. It is satis-
factory to find the Admiralty roused to unwonted
action, preparing to resist the bill. The Astronomer
Royal, in a memorandum addressed to the
Admiralty, states that every foreign geographical
determination of distant points has for many years
depended upon Greenwich. If a railway passed
through the park, the accuracy of the observations
might be called in question, and the consequences would
be disastrous. This is something more than a scien-
tific quibble; it is a reasonable objection to a
totally unreasonable proposal. The experi-
ments made by the Admiralty Hydrographer
shew ' that in some instances. the tremor
caused by a passing train has been felt at
a distance of 3,000 feet. It is not surprising that
these men of science, conscious of the value and im-
portance of work which is, as they maintain, not merely
national, but universal, should manifest a little irri-
tation at finding a question of pounds, shillings, and
pence, and the local convenience of a small suburban
district, put in competition with the accuracy of ob-
servations whose influence extends throughout the
habitable globe.

MARKETS—Tins DAT.

MARK-LANE.
Owing to the more favourable weather less firmness has
been noticed in the grain trade. The receipts of wheat
have been moderate. Millers have purchased cautiously,
but the quotations have been without change. Spring corn
has been quiet, but firm.
The imports of foreign and colonial produce into London
last week consisted of 19,942 quarters of wheat, 8,463 barley,
63,751 oats, 110 peas, 5,457 linseed, 1,659 rapeseed, 3,250
maize, 5 sundries, 6,528 barrels and 1,258 sacks of flour.
At Mark-lane this morning the show of English wheat
was only moderate. There was a thin attendance of millers,
and general indisposition was evinced to purchase, caution
being engendered by the more favourable aspect of agricul-
tural affairs. Very few transactions took place, and the ten-
dency of prices was in favour of purchasers.
The show of foreign wheat was moderate. For all quali-
ties the demand was inactive, at about late quotations.
The show of barley was moderate. The trade was firm,
at previ us quotations.
Malt sold heavily, at last week's prices.
The market was fairly supplied with oats. The demand
was limited, and prices receded 3d to 6d per quarter.
Beans were firm, on former terms.
Peas realised full prices, with a moderato inquiry.
The flour trade was steady in tone; but the business doing
was by no means brisk.
Linseed and rapeseed were purchased to a moderate ex-
tent. Agricultural seeds sold quietly.

WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

Sir JOHN GRAY asked the Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies whether he had any objection to lay upon
the table a copy of the judgment delivered by his Excel-
lency the Governor of the West Coast of Africa relative
to the sentence passed by Mr. Huggins, one of the judges
of that colony, on certain of the natives.
Mr. MONSELL was understood to say that no formal
judgment had been delivered.

DISTURBANCES IN PARIS.

The numerous arrests which have been made in. Paris,
amounting to 558, seem to have deterred the rioters from
making any further attempts. Great difficulty is expe-
rienced by the throngs of curious idlers who press to the
spots where the disturbadces have taken place. As many as
three thousand have been noticed wandering about. The
Faubourg St. Antoine looked like a fair, a significant
sign of the tranquillity of the public mind, was that the
soldiers passed in an out of their barracks without attracting
any hostile demonstration. None of those arrested can hope
to be let off, for the police made no prisoners until they had
gone through the necessary• legal forms of inquiry, and
thus they are guilty of the offence of conspiracy to rebel-
lion. The authorities desired, by adopting this course, to
check any serious 'disturbances which might have ensued
from the excitement produced by too much severity, and
also to lessen the number of preventive arrests by limiting
their prisoners to those guilty of decided outrage of the
law. The experiences of the preceding months led the
authorities to charge each police-agent who made
an arrest to make an inquiry and an interroga-
tory of the accused in a s'immary manner,
and to put down the chief points of the
affair. According to the old system, on the morrow of
any outbreak the prisons were crowded with a medley of
persons, of whose offences, names, aLd homes the police
were alike ignorant. The numerous investigations that
were requisite took up a great deal of time, whereas by
the new method of proceeding, each prisoner was brought
to the Prefecture with his history well known. The result
will be that nearly all those lately arrested will be tried im-
mediately. About forty of the chief offenders will be kept
back, they were found provided with aim; that they had
fired off, wounding soldiers and private individuals. The
inhabitants of Belleville were very zealous in their efforts
to render assistance to the police, and many of the pri-
soners were handed over by them to the soldiers.

THE SPANISH THRONE QUESTION.

With a full knowledge of all the latest details regarding
this new movement to provide a successor for Queen
Isabella, is our opinion changed ? Not a whit. We
must repeat what we have said—a Prussian prince on
the Spanish throne is an impossibility, things being as
they are. But the complications produced by this new
candidate are richly suggestive. We must admit that
the Spanish Crown has actually been offered to this young
" German lairdy." We must also admit that the offer
has not been spurned. It is difficult to think
that King William and Bismarck have not
both thought over this matter, that they have
not been in some sense consulted, and that they
have not in some sense also consented. A Hohenzollern
on the Spanish throne, in spite of his mixed blood, would
be a gain to Prussia. Portugal is already half German,
so far as the throne goes. With two German kings in the
peninsula where would France be if she called for help in
a great struggle against Prussia ? The approbation of
Prussia, therefore, proves nothing. It only proves that
the Prussian Government is fully alive to her own inte-
rests. If Prussia has been hoodwinked, she can afford it
in such a cause. If she does not gain, she
does not lose. It is vain, however,. to specu-
late. The fruit is before us. France will
not have it. France feels already insulted. France is
prepared to fight. The difficulties in the way of settling
the Spanish throne question are greater than ever. The
complications involve many dynasties and several nations.
The French government speaks of a European Congress—
the undying dream of Napoleon. If a European Congress
should grow out of this thing we shall not be surprised.
But we shall be surprised if the Prince of the
Asturias does not succeed his mother. At the same time
we must admit that this Spanish throne threatens trouble,
which may take the shape of another revolution in Spain
and of another big war in Europe. At last Spain has be-
come more interesting than Rome, and the throne of
Isabella commands more attention than the chair of St.
Peter. We begin to forget the Ecumenical Council.—
Hew York Herald, of July 7.

PILOTAGE.

Mr. GRAVES asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade
whether any memorials in favour of the abolition of
Compulsory Pilotage, had been received at the Board
during the five years previous to 1870 ; and, if so, the
number.
Mr. SHAW LEFEVEE answered that in the evidence
given before the committee, the memorials which had
been received by the Board of Trade were given in the
appendix.

DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.

Viscount MAHoN asked the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty whether the money for the purchase of Deptford
Dockyard had been paid in full.
Mr. BAXTER, in the absence of the First Lord of the
Admiralty stated that the purchase money for the first
portion of Deptford Dockyard, which belonged to the
Admiralty amounting to upwards of £31,000, had been
paid. With respect to the remainder in which the
woods and forests on behalf of her Majesty had a greater
interest than the Admiralty the title was not yet ready.
The purchase money was ready, and the purchaser had
had been pressing for a settlement of the matter.
