SECTARIANISM IN RUSSIA.

potbing in the history of religious schism is comparable
to" the extravagancies of the numerous Russian sects and
sub-sects which abjure the Greek Church and make war
upon the Czar as its temporairepresentative. The Skoptsii
are but one powerful division of Russian dissent. The
two great sections into which these schismatics are
divided are the Bezpopoftsi, who do not acknowledge a
priesthood, and the Popoftsi, who support a species of
clerical hierarchy. The forper are subdivided into thirty.
seven sects, of which the Skoptsti are one. All these
differ among themselves, but they agree in the main
principles of hostility to the Emperor, who seems to be
the genuine " Beast," and in excessive mortification of
the flesh. They practice literally the precept "if thine
eye offend thee pluck it out," and as a natural sequence
to this doctrine, suicide is held to be the most merito-
rious of actions, and the surest passport to heaven. On
one occasion 1,700 fanatics, not Skoptsii, shut them.
selves in wooden huts, around which inflammable matter
had been heaped, and set fire to the whole mass. On
another occasion a monk and 38 adherents burned them.,
selves in a similar manner. The members of one sect
break off all relationship with society, and roam
about in the depths of the forests in order to
escape obedience to the " Beast." Another denomination
lives in incessant expectation of the coming of Christ.
Their preachers have several times announced the precise
day of His second appearance, and on each occasion the
members of the sect dug graves and lay in them awaiting
the blast of the last trumpet. Their frequent disappoint.
ments have not aanfinshad their credulity. The second
great division, the Popoftsi, are less wild in their practice
and belief. The total number of Dissenters in Russia is
estimated at nine millions.

THE FENIAN CONVICT MACKEY.

Mr. C. FORT ESCUE said the list of crimes commit-
mitted by the convict Mackey, as well as the other assump-
tions, were in the main all correct with but one exception,
and that was that the convict bad been discharged. (Loud
laughter.) There never had been the slightest intention
of granting a pardon to Mackey, and the name of that
person would not be found amongst those mentioned in
the return.

ELECTIONEERING IN HUNGARY.

The Hungarians are so delighted with their newly.
acquired free institutions that the lampooning, brick.
throwing, and hat-demolishing of English elections
are rejected as altogether too tame. The opposite
parties indulge in pitched tattles. Four or five
dead is a not uncommon result. The last bulletin
of the campaign records a loss of two killed and forty
wounded. In order to put an end to these scenes, which
are frequently winked at by the local authorities, the
Government has declared that intimidation will be held
a criminal offence, and that officials who exhibit any negli.
gence will be dismissed.

FOREIGN NOTES.

GERMANY.

The snceessor of Count Usedom as the Prussian Ani-
basss,dor at Florence is not yet known, but it is believed
that by a shifting of places the Government will strengthen
its positionby alloting a diplomatic post to Count Munster,
formerly Minister of the King of Hanover. The recall,
or rather the disgrace, of Count Usedom seems to be
owing to Count Bismarck. These two public men have
ever been on unfriendly terms, for in 1852 the present
Prussian Chancellor, then almost unknown, was sup.
planted as Ambassador at Frankfort by Count Usedom.
The llloniteur affirms that negotiations have been going on
between France, Austria, and Italy with the view of
bringing about an alliance. Whether these intrigues have
had any practical result does not transpire, but Count
Usedom certainly failed to keep his Government well
informed respecting them.
London, England, 1869-03-10

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They soperfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the bead, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving cougbs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whorl 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, 1311., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lainbert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-

FOREIGN NOTSB.
GERMANY.

imeeessor of Count Usedom as the Prustiaii Aini;
bassacior at Florence is not yet known, but it is believed
that by a shifting of places the G overnment will strengthen
its position by alloting a diplomatic post to Count Munster,
formerly Minister of the King of Hanover. The recall,
or rather the disgrace, of Count Usedom seems to be
owing to Count BisMarck. These two public men have
ever been on unfriendly terms, for in 1852 the present
Prussian Chancellor, then almost unknown, was sup,
planted as Ambassador at Frankfort by Count Usedom.
The Moniteur affirms that negotiations have been going on
between France, Austria, and Italy with the view of?
bringing about an alliance. Whether these intrigues have
had any practical result does not transpire, but Count
Usedam certainly failed to keep his Government well
informed respecting them.

NOMINATION DAY.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Willyams, said one of the
duties of the select committee on the method of conducting
Parliamentary and municipal elections, would be the con-
sideration of the propriety of abolishing nomination day
at Parliamentary elections.
THE AMEER OF AFFGRANISTAN.

In reply to Mr. B. DENISON,
Mr. GRANT-DUFF said • the late Governor-General
had authorised the payment of six lacs of rupees to the
Ameer of Affghaiiistan, and had also authorised the pay-
ment of six other lacs, which doubtless by that time was
in the treasury of the Ameer, and also a quantity of arms.
No condition was attached to the gift, which was given as
a pledge of goodwill. To cull it a subsidy was by no means
correct.

ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

In reply to Mr. HARDY,

Mr. FOSTER said it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to proceed with the Endowed Schools Bill on Mon-
day next. •

THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.

Mr. GLADSTONE announced that on Tuesday, the

F_LECTIONE.EILING IN lIITNGAIIT.

The Hungarians are so delighted with their newly.
acquired free institutions that the lampooning, brick-
thr Fix ing, and hat-demolishing of English elections
are ;rejected as altogether too tame. The opposite
par Lies indulge in pitched battles. Four or five
dead is a not uncommon result. The last bulletin
of the campaign records a loss of two killed and forty
wounded. In order to put an end to these scenes, which
are - frequently winked at by the local authorities, the
Ge frernment has declared that intimidation will be held
a criminal offence, and that officials who exhibit any negli-
geace will be dismissed.

711 E ROYAL MUSIC HALL.

The proprietor of this favourite place of public amuse-
ment continues to provide for his patrons a very agree-
able and excellent entertainment, maintaining, at the same
time, all the commendable features that so strongly mark
his management. Unlike other establishments, which
at one time were looked upon as " music" halls, but which
have now become changed into sensational ballet saloons,
Mr. Sweasy still places.his reliance upon the attraction of
really good music, and the hearty support he receives
from the public must be very gratifying to him. In a
varied programme it would be unfair to expect him to
please the tastes of all his patrons, but he arrives as near
that point as can be possible, and he miL-ht yet reach nearer
the desired result if some kind of supervision was exer-
cised over the comic songs. It is much to be regretted
that Mr. Arthur Lloyd so degrades his talent as to sing
such unmitigated rubbish as he did last evening, because
there are plenty of excellent and witty songs
he is quite capable of giving with humour and effect with-
out offending- the tastes of any of the audience. But
without further noticing the trashy item in the pro-
gramme, we pass at once to a more pleasant duty, and
begin by complimenting Miss Adela Leicester, who pro
raises to become a favourite public vocalist. Mdlle. Lara
is another excellent singer, and Master Michaels is a very
clever juvenile comique. The great feature of the pro-
gramme now is the singing of Mr. Pat Currie's "Original
Irish Minstrels," and a better or more entertaining band
of "minstrels" we know not of. The melodies of Erin aro
given with exquisite taste, and the clever troupe wAI de-
serve :be enthusiastic applause they nightly receive. Tho
band, always excellent at " the Royal," nightly performs
one or two of the compositions of the great masters, x -
cute(' in a manner that culls for the highest commendaf(n.
Altogether, the entertainment here is ve.-y excellent, and
deserves tbo strongest public support. •

The eminent ph6tOgraphers, Messrs. Lucas and
Tuck, of No. 7, Haymarket, hare just taken a portrait cf

o'iirably, and altogether it is a faultless picture. They

REAL PROPERTY.

Mr. LOCKE KING moved for leave to bring in a
bill for the bettor settling of the real estates of
intestates. At present the real property of
persons dying without a will passed to the eldest son, and
the object of the bill was to effect an alteration in the law
on that point, to the effect that the property instead of
passing to the one child should be divided equally amongst
the whole of the children then living. He quoted many
cases where the disobedient eldest son had succeeded
to the propertyagainst the known intention of the testator,
who had died without making a will, and thus the younger
children had been rendered entirely destitute. It was not
his desire to introduce the French law on the subject into
England, because he altogether disapproved of their mea-
sure.

Mr. B. HOPE objected to the bill, and stated he should
state his reasons more fully when the motion for the
second reading was under consideration.
After a short discussion, in which Mr. Stapleton, Mr.
Goldney, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Walter, and Mr. Gladstone
took part, leave was given to bring in the bill.
Mr. V. HARCOURT obtained a Select Committee to
inquire into the law affecting the registration of borough
voters.

The remainder of the sitting was occupied by a short
debate on the Sale of Liquors on Sunday (Ireland) Bill,
The house adjourned at 25 minutes to 9.

Healing not harmful.—No application has met with the same uni
versal approbation for curing all external ailments as that which
this unguent has received. Skin sores, deep ulcers, fetid dis-
charges, burns, blistered surfaces, and many similar affections,
are at once soothed and, on the road to soufidness by Rollo-
way's ointment. With his ointment and his pills the wealthy
may save thepselves much suffering and the poor may help
themselves to health, since these medicaments are reasonable in
price, and can be purchased in every hamlet. They have effected
cures of stiff, swelled legs, and lacerated limbs, and opened out
the prospect of a happy future after hope of recovery had been
84811 up.
