Mr. Gladstone's very kind offers to send several
of his respected supporters to the Upper House are
not being very graciously received. One of the best of
his contemplated creations—Mr. Grote, the historian—
was prevented, through that gentleman declining the
honour. Mr. Ellice, M.P. for the St. Andrew's

Mr. "W. B. Beaumont, M.P. for South Northumberland,
followed suit; and now Mr. 0. R. M. Talbot, M.P. for

BAVARIA.

A private telegraph from Munich contains the reply of
he Judicial Faculty to the questions which were discussed
by the Convocation of the Council. It declares that the
proclamation of the articles of the Syllabus relating to the
infallibility of the Pope will of itself effect no change in
the constitutional and legal relations between the Church
and the State. But the Faculty expects that the
efforts which will be made to carry out the principles of
this dogma will call for an inquiry into the legislation
that affects the legal and judicial situation
of the Catholic Church in Bavaria. The elections of the
first degree have just taken place. In the electoral circum-
scription of Munich the Progressist party have carried the
day by an important majority. The struggle has been a
severe one.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NO V. 19, 1869.

Although the Suez Canal is one of the few great
engineering works of the world in which England
has taken little or no part, there were probably few
English readers who did not learn with satisfaction
that the long talked-of project was actually WI fa it
accompli. The canal is open, and whatever its ulti
mate fate, no shadow of doubt or disappointment
marred the brilliant pageant of inauguration. A
fleet of forty vessels, headed by the Imperial
yacht bearing the adventurous lady, who
had taken so warm an interest in the
scheme passed safely along the whole length of the
c tnal from Port Said to Ismailia, a distance of some
fifty miles, the voyage being accomplished in eight
hours. Four good sized steamers from Suez also
arrived at Is.rnailia on the 17th, so that the maritime
canal was on that day traversed throughout by sea-
going vessels. The entry of the flotilla into the Lake
of Ismailia was achieved successfu.Uy) the depth ofj

Tim CRAMBERS OF COMMERCE.

The second deliberation of the Associated Chambers
if Commerce at Birmingham was devoted to a great
vtiriety of subjects. A resolution asking the Govern-
ment to inquire into the operation of the French
Treaty was debated for some time and eventually
passed. Several members warned the Chambers
against any infringement on the doctrine of
Free Trade. The most important business
of the meeting, however, was the reading of a
letter from Colonel Smith on the subject of interna-
tional coinage. lie announced that the movement
was making great progress, that Sweden and the
German States were both likely to adopt the French
money, and that weights and measures were tending
to an international and metric system. "If the
Government can arrange with the States of the
French Convention as to the adoption of an identical
mintage, I believe it is prepared to adopt an interna-
tional coinage and unit of account."

TRAITORS AS 31.P.'8.

" Rossa for Tipperary !" " Mackay for Water-
ford !" Such are the Fenian war-cries at the elec-
tions about to take place in Ireland. The sedition-
mongers rejoice to call their heroes " convicted felons
in British dungeons:" and they bring them forth as
martyrs grandly suflering under tyranny. The O'Dono-
van Rossa placard has already been noted ; a similar,
only a much wilder, one has been issued in Water-
ford, suggesting " Captain " Mackay in place of the
retiring Mr. Grubb. In this election address the
act of union is spoken of as " the hellish covenant
made by a demon minister with Pandemonium,"
a string of curses which suggest the
question : If by the demon be meant the
British minister of the day, and if the covenant
he made was with Ireland, what lovers of their
country are they who compare it to Pandemonium ?
The placard goes on to declare that the return of
Mackay would chew that the electors deem parlia-
mentary representation a farce (a statement with
which it would be difficult to disagree), that they
look upon moral force as humbug (rather hard on
moral force), and that they think the cause of Ireland
may best be served upon the hill side.

CHESTER.

The Hon. Norman Grosvenor, who is the Liberal
candidate for the seat left vacant by his relative, has
at length made an effort to retrieve the amazing
vagueness of his election address. In this r,mlarliable
document he announced his intention of explaining
his oinions on divers questions as soon as he
had formed them—leaving his course for the
future a compicte blank.. It is gratifying
to find that the formation of his opinions is progress-
ing rapidly. He has already concluded that com-
pulsory education and the Ballot would be good
things. Two such important decisions in so short a
space are highly satisfactory. By the time the Hon.
Norman Grosvenor reaches nomination day he will,
at this rate, have accumulated quite a presentable
stock of ideas. On the land question he would
"have justice done to the interests of landlords and
tenants"—an opinion which is probably quite up to
the average.
London, England, 1869-11-19

INTERNATIONAL MONEY.

The Salut Public of Lyons bewails British obsti-
nacy in the matter of international coinage. The
best system of common money would, in the opinion
of this journal, have been secured by the adoption of
the Napoleon, which is worth twenty francs, about
108. 6d., but perfidious Albion refused to revolutionise its
money by accepting a coin of this value as the standard,
" M. Magne, therefore, proposes the creation of a 25f.
coin as a sort of compromise with the decimal system.
But M. Puma, president of the commission, offers
the strongest opposition to this project. The argu-
ments he adduces turn principally on the point that
the higher the standard is raised, the greater is the
risk of increasing tho prices of all articles. The M.
piece would be retained, but only as legal fender for
sums up to 100 f. Thus two standards would exist—
the one of silver, the other of gold (the 25f. piece pf
nine-tenths of fineness). This system would enable
all the States which do not admit the gold standard to
adopt the monetary system of which France desires to
be the centre. But N. Puma's objections appear to
have induced3l.Mag,ne and the commission to reflect."
The Sa'ut Public seems to be under the impression
that though the English Government would not
adopt the 20-franc coin, it would be willing to accept
the 25-franc piece. But "British obstinacy "is so in-
tense that the Commission on International Coinage
declined to recommend even the milder alternative,
and, in fact, did not feel justified in proposing any
change whatever.

TITE DETECTIVES.

The Detective of Romance—sharp, quick, far-
seeing, never-failing, following up the slightest clue
with the nicest accuracy—has long ago been proved to
have existence in Fancy's pages only. The public
sometime since thought it had discovered that the
geniuses of Scotland Yard were but clumsy men, doing
easy work with great facility. Their intelligence
is not of the highest ; and that " instinct ' on
which novellists have been wont to dilate—the
remarkable propensity with which they have been
accredited of finding out, from the colour of the
carpet in a room, where crime has been committed,
the height, dress, general appearance, and likely
whereabouts of the criminal—is as absent from their
character as it is from most of us. The fact is un-
doubted that, on thewhole, the detectivedepartment of
our police service has of late signally failed to do its
duty. Recent events have revealed how the search
for the criminal has been a race for money ; so
much energy has been expended on fights between
divisions, that the public has been poorly served.
What is wanted is some surer system of hunting
out criminals. The Telegraph thinks this end may
best be reached by the appointment of a " great
presiding mind." The number of detectives may
be increased ; but they are, our contemporary con-
siders, but chessmen on a board ; somebody ►rust
move them, and put them in their proper places. The
Telegraph would give such an one power, but it
would have him the best man -in the country. To
arrest a wretch for pocket-picking in the streets at
broad day is a comparatively little matter. A plan
is required by which the dark deeds of the earth may
I)e brought to light. •

THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

The trustees of Cornell University have resolved to
do something for the higher education of women. They
have decided to admit 100 girls, and are devising means
for their employment, that they, like the male pupils,
may by their own labour pay the whole or part of their
expenses for board and education. A. few, it is thought,
can at once be received and placed at domestic work of
different kinds.

A GREAT CHARITABLE WORK.

An exceptionally noble work of charity was com-
pleted and dedicated at Erdington, near Birming-
ham, on Saturday. " Josiah Mason's Almshouses
and Orphanage" were transferred to the trustees.
This great institution cost £OO,OOO, and is endowed
with a further sum of £200,000. Its object is twofold.
One small building is to be maintained as almshouses
for twenty-six women, either widows or unmarried, at
the discretion of the trustees, and not under the age
of fifty years. Each inmate is provided with a fur-
nished house, coal, gas, &c. A larger building is
designed as an asylum for an indefinite number of
orphans, to be fixed by the trustees, provided
always that the number of boys be not more
than half the number of girls. At present
the total is 150. Mr. Mason, who has made a large
fortune in trade at Birmingham, commenced his
charitable undertaking on a small scale in 1858. It
gradually grew in his hands until it has reached its
present proportions. The charity is now handed over to
the care of trustees. After Mr. Mason's death, seven
official trustees are to be elected by the Town Council
of Birmingham—so that practically the charity is a
gift to the Corporation of that city.

Mn, PEABODY.

We regret to have to announce that Mr. Peabody
is still in a very feeble condition. The great philan-
thropist has not improved in health by his voyage
across the Atlantic, or his residence in the United
States. His public appearances are now most im-
pressive. Everyone respects him ; many in the
United States, as in England, worship him ; finding
him weak and ill, all are full of sympathy and
love for him. This manifest feeling shews more
truly what is the public estimate of Mr. Peabody
than the most rapturous applause.

THE CONFEDERATE EMIGRATION.

Deplorable as the people of the South consider their lot,
they find themselves better off in the United States than
elsewhere. It is remarkable that all the schemes of emi-
gration which were formed by the Confederates after the
last defeat of their armies have failed utterly. Some
Southerners went to the sheep-walks of Buenos Ayres,
others to Mexico ; but they all came back again. A party
which thought to establish a colony for the culture of
cotton, sugar, and coffee in the interior of Brazil has just
given up the attempt and returned to the States. This is
the last of the emigration parties.
London, England, 1869-08-03

EMIGRATION,

The guardians of Whitechapel who have had to deal
with much of the distress in the East-end, which has
led to the adoption of Government emigration,
record an opinion on the subject which is' worthy of
attention. They have considered the levy of a
penny rate in the metropolis, for the purpose of
furthering the exportation of the poor, and they have
rejected the proposal. They do so on the ground
that the distress is not chronic. Perhaps the
guardians are hardly qualified to decide this question;
it is one of political economy. It is not disrespectful
to them either to say that their decision may have
been caused by a dislike of rating their constituents.
They do not, it may be observed, object to a national
rate for the same purpose.

THE BALLOT.

The journalistic barometer points to "change.'
The Times records the progress of public opinion by
a guarded leader, in which, whilst careful not to
give the Ballot too much praise—that of course
would be premature—it admits that secret voting
looms in the distance. The report of the Committee
on Parliamentary and Municipal Elections clearly
emits the opinion that, though the importance of the
Ballot has been exaggerated, yet secrecy during the
progress of the polling must be of value. "A great
step will be gained when the elector may give his vote
and not have it declared till some days after, when the
question is decided, when the excitement is over,
and single votes are of no importance. Final
publicity is sufficient to secure against fraud; nor
can final publicity be objected to, for even if a man
could leave it doubtful how he will vote till after the
election, he will be sure to let it out very soon after."
It is to be presumed, too, that the Ballot will stop
treating. 'Therefore, though evidently hampered
with the recollection of its past onslaughts upon
secret voting, the leading journal gives its adhesion
to the forthcoming change.

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CAELE.

We are threatened with an Atlantic Cable mania.
Hardly a wee's now passes without its preliminary
prospectus for a telegraph line between the Old
World and the New. Wales and Cornwall have
already had held out to them the advantages which
would accrue if they could only send direct messages
to America. Scotland also is not behindhand,
would appear indeed to be foremost, in promoting
means of communication with Canada and
the United States. The London Scotsman seems
to think the laying of a Scotch cable not
merely as possible or probable, but as pretty nearly
certain. The first steps, it points out, have already
been taken; Mr. Nathaniel Holmes is preparing to
lay down a line between Thurso and the Orkneys,
and he wishes to carry it across the ocean. The
London Scotsman adds that this gentleman is laying
down lines under the impression that the Govern-
ment will take them over when he has done the
work.

FANNY OLIVER.

The case of the condemned woman, Fanny Oliver,
now lying under sentence of death in Worcestel
Gaol, convicted of having poisoned her husband, ix
causing some little excitement. The Telegraph, at
we have already noticed, has taken up her cause,
and several of the leading citizens of Birmingham are
agitating for a reprieve. There are two objections
to her execution : she is a woman, and a remota
possibility exists that the scientific witness
on whom the case depends may have made a
mistake. The first argument has convinced the
sympathetic; the latter is used by them to their
more hard-hearted friends. Some doctors, many
solicitors, ministers of religion, and others haw
signed a memorial to 111 r. Bruce, asking for further
inquiry into the case. The Mayor of Birmingham
Las attached his name to the petition.

SALISBURY ELECTION.

Three candidates are already in the field for the
representation of Salisbury—Mr. Alfred Seymour,
Mr. Marsh, and Mr. Ryder. The first-named gentle-
man comes forward as a strong supporter of the
present Government, and is in favour of vote
by ballot. Mr. Marsh sat for the city from
1857 till last November, when he retired.
He was one of the most prominent Adullamites
during the stormy career of the Reform Bill of
1800, and "holds himself bound to no party in the
country." Ile addressed a meeting on Saturday
evening, expressing himself as always having been
in favour of " Constitutional moderation." He
referred to the land question in Ireland,and thought
that the remedy was more social than political,
but he had the fullest confidence in the
ability of the present Government to deal with it.
Having seen the operation of the Ballot in Australia,
he had come to the conclusion that it was quite
ineffectual in accomplishing what was intended—
namely, secret voting. Mr. Ryder, the defeated
Conservative candidate last November, in his
address, says he is a Liberal-Conservative, and that
though he would not give a factious opposition to
the present Government, he should yet oppose any
extreme measure which might be brought forward
by them. The writ for the election was received on
Saturday; the nomination has been fixed for
to-morrow, and the polling on Thursday.

springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly 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 shat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
