AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
..8.1 EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking. which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13i-d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9,1. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert'si. Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

AN EXECUTION IN AMERICA.

The Telegraph calls attention to a most disgrace-
ful spectacle which was recently witnessed M the
State of Maryland. Four negroes, seamen, were to
be hanged for murder on board ship. " Thousands
of people, black and white, swarmed to the
slaughter-ground on execution -day. Circuses,
raree shows, auctions, and other entertainments were
provided for the crowd, and there was an amazing
amount of drunkenness. The four doomed
negroes had lain on the floor of their cell all the
morning, praying in ab;ect terror. Two hours
before they were to be 'hanged they were dressed
in grave-clothes. One of them had sold his body
to a surgeon in Philadelphia for dissection. At
last the four wretches were huddled on to the
scaffold in sight of an enormous multitude, and for
a quarter of an hour they sang hymns. 'Then
all the moribunds made speeches, one wretch
bandying jokes with the crowd, who chaffed
him. Finally the sheriff pulled the bolt from the
trap-door—there is no professional Calcraft in
Maryland—and the four negroes fell. Three of them
died almost instantly ; but in the case of the fourth,
the rope was slack, and the fall failed to break his
neck. He groaned and struggled horribly, put the
ropes off his hands and legs, kicked and caught
hold of the shroud of the man next him with one
hand, while with the other he drew himself up and
got on the scaffold again. The gaolor had to 'go in
and finish him,' the crowd calling out as he struggled,
6 That's right; you ought to suffer. This edifying
spectacle lasted altogether forty-five minutes." And
this took place, too, in a country which boasts of
being the first in the world.

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH.
The Emperor's Speech at the Council of State, though
a very unusual event, is of no external significance. It
simply announces his intention of abolishing the system
of workmen's books, called livrets. These contain certifi-
cates of character from employers, and must be possessed
by every workman. The class distinction was both odious
and useless, for employers seldom liked to brand a man
with a bad character, and the entries were generally
vague. Many of the worst workmen possessed highly
satisfactory books. Whatever may be the popularity of
the change, it is decidedly in the right direction.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.
-MORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstances, and thousands of persons.can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at is. lid., 2s. 9d., and lis. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for "NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
Norton's Camomile Pills."

PUBLIC GAMING.

A. correspondent of the Daily J.Vors calls attention
to the fact that gambling in public is no longer
interdicted by the metropolitan police. Those who
desire the excitement of staking money may now
seek for amusement at home instead of proceeding
to continental towns. On the 13th of March the
writer attended Kingsbury Steeplechases, and he
then discovered that public gaming has been
made very easy to Londoners. A white
canvass booth stood in the thick of the
throng, and all within it was arranged to suit the
convenience of the gamblers. All the essentials were
as complete as at the most garish Kmrsaal on the
Continent. Those who engaged in the pursuit made
no pretence at concealment from the police, and they
seemed to think themselves under their protection. A
" frisk at the tables " is a feat that may be accom-
plished in the environs of London.

A MAN DECAPITATED ON THE MIDLAND
RAILWAY AT KEN7IBI-1 7 OWN.

This morning (Friday) information was forwarded to
Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Middlesex, of the shocking
death of Richard Green, a goods guard on the Midland
Railway, under the following circumstances:—
Last night the deceased, who is about 35 years of age,
was travelling on an engine from Agar-town to Kentish-
town, and when he arrived at the cattle siding he jumped
off into the "six foot." At that moment a heavily laden
goods train from Wellingborough was passing, and the
unfortunate man slipping, the engine caught him, dashed
him to the ground, and killed him on the spot. Mr. Pal-
mer, the station master, with Police-sergeat Calder, 1 S, at
once proceeded to the spot, and there a most horrible sight
presented itself. Ihe unfortunate man's brains were scat-
tered over the line, his head was severed from the trunk,
and his right arm and shoulder were clean cut off. His left
arm was also broken, and his legs were crushed. The
body was placed on a stretcher and convoyed to the St.
Pancras dead-house, and the head and other portions of
the deceased were picked up and taken in a bucket to the
same place.
The deceased, who is a native of Leicester, has only
been employed in London for a few weeks, and a few
hours before his melancholy end obtained leave of absence
to go to that town to visit his wife and three children.
London, England, 1869-03-26

THE DUKE OF DIONTPENSIER.

A correspondent of the Figaro relates an item of retro-
spective history which is very little to the credit of the
the Duke of Montpensier, the candidate for the Spanish
throne. The Duke, who is the second son of Louis-
Philippe, was present at the painful scere when
the abdication of the French monarch was urged
by 111. Emile de Girardin. The King was loth
to sign away his royalty, but the Duke vehemently urged
him to do so, using language both disrespectful as a sub-
ject and undutiful as a son. The King shewed deep
emotion, flushed, and tears started to his eyes. Then he
took a quill pen from his desk, and wrote out in his large
handwriting the deed of abdication. When he had signed
it he dipped the pen deep in the inkstand, and literally
broke it on the Duke's face, which he covered with ink,
exclaiming, in a tone of concentrated rage, "Are you
satisfied now ?" The correspondent of the Figaro was
present at this scene.

THE KING OF SAXONY.
King John of Saxony is seriously ill. He is not afflicted
with any special malady, but his constitution appears to
be giving way. Appetite and sleep both fail him. He is
in his 68th year, and the chance of his recovery is, there-
fore, greatly doubted.

THE PROTESTANT DECLARATION.

The Times publishes in full the " Piotestant
Declaration " of which a summary had previously
been given. It occupies nearly a column and a half,
and it has been signed by nearly a thousand peers,
members of the House of Commons, deputy-
lieutenants, magistrates, and other gentlemen.
The list is headed with the four presidents of the
" Central Protestant Defence Association for Ireland,"
the Duke of Abercorn, the Marquis of Ormonde, the
Earl df Bandon, and Lord Crofton. These are
followed by the. Duke of Manchester, the Marquises
of Westmeath, Waterford, Hamilton, and Drogheda,
fifteen earls, and twenty-five viscounts. The peti-
tioners declare that if the proposcd.measure is passed it
" would shake to their very foundation all titles to
land in Ireland, sanction principles tending to uproot
*le plantation of Ulster, and, instead of being in
accordance with the dictates of justice, would be
fraught with the grossest injustice and wrong, and
instead of promoting peace and goodwill among
Roman Catholics and Protestants, would embitter
strife and perpetuate animosity, both civil and
religious, in every part of Ireland." The declarators
are clearly of opinion that the five million Roman
Catholics of Ireland like to have a Church dominant
over them which numbers only 500,000 adherents.

THE UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL.

Mr. Aldis, the :senior wrangler of 1861, writes to
the Daily Yews as one of the oldest Nonconformist
resident members of the University of Cambridge,
giving his opinion on the University Tests Bill. He
considers that the speech of Sir Roundell Palmer in
the debate of Monday was not very satisfactory because
it sh e wed a "strange misappreh elision " of the dem a nds
of Nonconformists. lle thinks that the bill which
has been introduced by Sir J. Coleridge will afford
general satisfaction to the dissenters throughout
England, but this feeling would be changed
into dislike if Sir R. Palmer's last " amend-
ment were appended. They would look upon
the declaration which it exacts from all professors in
the University as most insulting; and Nonconformists
would rather wait for years than agree to such a
provision.

THE PERSONNEL OF PARLIAMENT.

Mr. Robert Mair, editor of " Debrett's House of

Merchant Taylors' 1 each, King's College 7, and
.University College School 0. The legal profession

been. called to the English bar, the remaining 10
being attorneys. The army contributes (.43 members,
and the navy 13. Of bankers there are 16, and of
commercial men 136. There aro 5 medical prac-
titioners, a like number of civil engineers, 3
university professors, and 1 dissenting minister. The
nobility is represented by 3 Irish peers, by 40
heirs apparent and 14 heirs presumptive to peer-
ages, and by :52 younger sons of peers. Of
Privy Councillors and baronets there are 62
each. Ninety members have served the office -of
sheriff, and .3 that of Lord Mayor of London ;
10 are lords-lieutenant of counties, 7 are
recorders, 9 have been in the diplomatic service,
awl 129 have represented other constituencies
than those for which they now sit. Ten fithers are
each honoured by having a son in the House, and
there are no less than 24 pairs of brothers, exclusive
of three brothers of one family."

The Price of Gold.

---
The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the shcrt exchange on London is 211. 15c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 Ila. 100. per ounce ibr standard gold, It appears that

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS,

(FROM OUR owx connEsroxnENT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY, March 18.

The papers are full of details relative to the explosion
at the Sorbonne. Certainly a more frightful catastrophe
has not occurred in Paris for many years. The number
of deaths at present ascertained is four, the number
injured fifteen though this latter point is uncer-
tain. It will thus be seen that the loss of life,
though grievous, is not excessive ; but the circumstances
attendant upon the explosion invest it with a character of
exceptional horror. Two human bodies hurled forward
were dashed against an iron bench on the opposite side of
the street, and were l roken into pieces by the vio-
lence of the shock, some of the bleeding limbs
striking the fronts of the shops, whilst pay-
ticks of human brains penetrated into a room in the
second floor throne.% a window which was shattered by
the detonation. The head of one of the victims was
blown into the Rue Victor Cousin, opposite the manu-
factory. A bar of iron, driven forward horizontally with
the speed of an arrow, perforated the front of a shop, came
out on the other side, and remained fixed in the wall of a
court beyond. The least mutilated of the four bodies
was only to be recognised by a ring on one of the fingers.
The others were reduced to fragments. Pieces of flesh
in a state of pulp were found on the trees which line the
pavement, other pieces were scattered about the squares,
and had to be gathered up with a shovel. The Place de
la Sorbonne looks as if it had been bombarded. Not a
whole square of glass is to he seen ; the shop-fronts of the
opposite buildings are shattered ; in the middle of the
square are several cartloads of charred timber reduced to
fragments. One of the most melancholy circumstances
remains to be related. A young woman, at work
in a neighbouring house, was so overpowered
with fear at the explosion, and the cries of
fright resounding on all sides, that she fell utterly
insensible. She was carried to her residence, where she
now lies in a hopeless state—blind and insane. The stuff
which caused all this devastation was a liquid named
bichrate of potassium, intended for torpedoes. M. Fontaine,
one of the proprietors of the manufactory, has received the
Cross of the Legion of Honour as a reward for the dis-
covery. Such discoveries have their value, but there can
be no sufficient reason why the hideous stuff should be
kept in the centre of a great city.
It is understood that the Government here has been
officially informed of Dom Fernando's determination not
to accent the crown of Spain, even should it be offered
him.

MR. ROEBUCK ON ART.

On Tuesday Mr. Roebuck distributed the prizes at the
annual conversaziene of the School of Arts. He addressed
himself to the subject that was immediately before them, and
said that art produced a great effect on the happiness of the
community. In the present state of the world a great com-
petition was going on, and a man must make Ms labour
worth something if he would obtain employment for it. To
do this it was necessary to understand the rules of his art
and seek to win public approbation. Ile would go
still further, and say to all classes of society that
art was the great friend of their lives. Let them think of
the difference I•etween a man dedicated to art and a man
merely enjoying the sensual pleasures of life. Every por-
tion of mankind was striving onward in the race of life,
and if we went to any market in Europe, we should meet
rivals on every side. Mr. Roebuck then referred to a speech
of the Marquis of Salisbury, in the debate in the House of
Lords on education. The noble lord said that education
had no effect in diminishing crime in the country, and
the announcement was a startling one. To instruct a man,
properly, however, he must be taught not only intellectually
but morally, and if all classes of society could be attracted
within the influence of schools of art, much would be done
to diminish the brutalising effects of crime. Those who
taught science and art did that in their sphere, which was
the best to wean men from crime ; therefore they should not
think their mission was a low one. If the working man was
each in his sphere an artist he would be a much better man,
a better father, better son—iu fact, he would be a Christian.
They should seek to extend the influence of art to all parts
of the great town in which they lived.

It is stated that M. Rhangabo will be the new
Greek Minister at Constantinople.

Captain Flanagan's address to the electors of Sligo
borough has been issued. .Another Liberal candidate is
spoken of, and it is well known that a gentleman of Conser-
vative principles will come forward to contest the borough.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed eases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 131 d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

A STRIKE IN THE COTTON TRADE.

On Wednesday the long-threatened strike in the
cotton trade actually took place. The operatives in
those mills at Preston which had received notice for
a reduction of 10 per cent. left work at noon. At
twenty-three other firms the reduction is not
due for three weeks, but unless some
speedy arrangement be come to, the operatives
employed in them will also strike. Some thousands
are already idle, and great excitement exists, though
the town is peaceable. A propcsal to submit to
arbitration has been made to the masters, but they
have as yet returned no answer. It is thought that
they will object to it on the grounds that, even with
the reduction of 10 per cent., many of them would
be no gainers, and that they must know their own
affairs better than anybody else.
