THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.-
A. most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 53 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint-
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly
recommend it to the notice of the intenaag purchaser,

SPAIN.

The Times Madrid correspondent sends important intel-
ligence from Spain. The Duke of Montpensier's candida-
ture is impossible on account of his being a Bourbon ; a
republic is dangerous ; and, indeed, both these alternatives
are obnoxious to France. It is added that the Italian
Government has never proposed the Duke of Aosta, but
if Spain solicits him Italy will accede. This is very kind
of Italy, and it may now be concluded that the second son
of King Victor is in the ascendant. It matters not whether
he has been proposed by the Italian Government cr not,
so lon as he is leit, by the process of elimination, the only
candidate in the field.

The elections a', illat7rid have gone in favour of the
Monarchists, but at Seville, Alicante, Baicelona, and
Saragossa the Republicans have won.

GERMANY.

The project of a South German Confederation seems to
have died of inanition. Three of the four States are con-
tent with their independence and their alliance with the
North ; Bavaria alone, who would attain the first place in
a Southern Confederation, still endeavours indirectly to
bring it about. Hitherto, however, its intrigues have met
with no success. It has even failed in its attempt to
create a combined army of the South. An endeavour to
establish common consulates for the four States has met
with no better reception. A certain number of these con-
sulates already exist, but they are common to North as
well as to South Germany, and the Wurtemherg journals
contend that to maintain consuls for the Scuth only would
be a needless expense.

THE WILLENTIALL POLICE CASE.

" A Chairman of Quarter Sessions," writing to the
Times about the Willenhall police case, fully endorses
all that has been said of the evils arising from the
system of paying the clerks of petty sessions by
fees and not by salary. When the bench puts on a
nominal line—perhaps of a farthing—the clerk's
fees defeat the intended object. It is idle,
in the opinion of this writer, to rail at clerical
magistrates, for in some parts of the country there
would be no magistrates at all without them. Their
chief fault is that they are too much influenced by
their clerks, and from a fear of the mysteries of the
law they do not think enough for themselves. With
a strict supervision in the improvement oLthe nate

ments connected with magisterial law, with salaried
clerks, and greater care in the selection of the clergy-
men put in the commission, such an affair as that of
Willenhall could not (-wenn

TURKEY AND GREECE.

The Conference has done its little best, and the protocol
awaits the assent of Turkey and Greece. Some aatho•
rities think that everything proiilises a conciliatory result;
others are doubtful of the attitude of the Turkish repre-
sentative, who awaits instructions. The Libertj believes
that the only object of the Porte was to gain time, and
thinks that the Powers have been outmanoeuvred by
Turkey as well as Greece. The same journal has received

a telegram from Constantinople, stating that the Porte
continues its rigorous measures against Crete and the
Greek shipping. Preparations for war still go on, and
fresh reinforcements have been sent to Thessaly.

DES 3f ARK.

A slight difficulty has arisen between Denmark and the
United States respecting the Island of St. Thomas. This
Danish possession was sold to America, but Congress,
after the Alaska purchase, refused to ratify the bargain.
The Danish Government, however, urges that it could
treat only with the Executive Power ; that the treaty is
therefore valid, and that the honour of the United States
Government is involved in its sincere execution. A defi-
nite decision will be given by Congress.

NEWS MANUFACTURE.

The Pole, named Dunin, who has just been turned
nut of Roumania for promulgating false news, was under
French protection, though not a French subject. Hence
a small difficulty has arisen between the French Consul
and the Roumanian Government. Dunin had sent to a
Cracow journal a despatch, couched in these terms :
" The pretended Mazzinian proclamations distributed in
the country, have a Russian origin. In spite of the
arrangement of the Greco-Turkish difficulty, the
Bulgarians and Greeks continue to agitate. The
Ronzanul has made a violent attack upon the
Ministry. Dangerous electoral agitations are on
foot." All this was untrue. Dunin was brought before
the Minister of the Interior, who severely reprimanded
him, and gave him three days to get out of the country.
Dunin appealed to the Consul, who argued that as Rou-
mania was semi-dependent on the Forte, the consular
capitulations in force in Turkey held good in Roumania.
Dunin, however, was marched to the frontier between
two soldiers. He was sightly served. The French
Consul might have respected the spirit as well as the
letter of justice, for expulsion is mild punishment for an
offence which might cause considerable injury to com-
merce.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
LI 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,
Bing William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 1344., 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

The Order of St. Michael and St. George which
was, during the Ministry of the Duke of Bucking-
hamri extended tfoalnities of
lTcolonies, was instituted
the lonian Islands,
Malta, and " for such other subjects of his
Majesty as may hold high and confiden-
tial situations in the Mediterranean." In 1832
the Order was made to consist of 15 Knights
Grand Cross, exclusive of the Grand Master, 20
Knights Commanders, and 25 Cavalieri, or Com-
panions. The members of the Order had precedency
after the members of the Bath, and the Lord High
Commissioner of the lonian Islands had precedency
over ail the other Knights Grand Cross. In the year
18G5 the Order consisted of the Grand Master (the
Duke of Cambridge), 14 Knights Grand Cross,
including Sir Alexander Woodford, Sir John Young,
Sir H. Storks, Sir Gaspard LeMarchant, and Sir George
Bowen ; 20 Knights Commanders, and 25 Com-
panions. Of the whole sixty members rather less
than a half were of English birth. The Saxon blue
and red-striped ribbon was never very highly prized ;
but now that it has been extended to all the colonies,

RUSSIAN LOANS.

There is always a limit to the capacity of States for bor-
rowing., and the Russian Government is experiencing the
force of this truth. The new Russian Railway Loan is
not doing well, nor is it likely to prosper, unless the Czar's
Goverment will make au explicit declaration that

no further issues shall tie maae until a reason-
able space of time has elapsed. During the
last three years twentymillions of railway bonds, guaran-
teed by the Muscovite Government, have been brought
into the London market, and thirteen millions more into
the Continental markets only. The credit of Russia has
always been good, owing to her strict honesty, but there
is a medium in everything.

JUDGE PAYNE AGAIN.

Yesterday a youth, named Price, was indicted
at the Middlesex Sessions for stealing a gold chain worth
.£3, the property of Emma Cook, from her person, and he
was further charged with attempting to steal a gold
chain, the property of Lydia Bunker, from her person.
The jury found a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Payne :
Not guilty, gentlemen ! Well, after that verdict there
will be no protection for the public. If you believe the
prosecutrix, why, the prisoner is guilty. She swears posi-
tively to hind,, and swears she had seen him before.
The Foreman : We were not satisfied with the
identity, my lord. Mr. Payne : Then the verdict must be
recorded, and the police will still go on watching for those
persons who commit these street robberies. Let the pro-
secutrix stand up again. Mrs. Emma Cook again swore
positively to the prisoner. A Juryman : Ladies always
are, my lord. (Laughter.) Mr. Payne .(to the prosecu-
trix) : I must say you have endeavoured to do your duty
to the public ; and I order you to receive a reward of 30s.

THREATENING A MASTER BUILDER.

The 'Western Daily Press of Bristol says a threatening
letter was a f•-w days ago forwarded by post to Mr. W.
Banner, builder, of Cathay, The envelope bears the Red-
cliff postmark, and the letter was evidently written by a
man whose education is not of the highest order. The
following is an exact copy of the letter :—" Bristol, Feb.
2.5, 1869. Mr. Banner Sir lam given to understand
that your men is making over time that I Consider
Shameful and so maney out of employ You as a Christian
man ought to know and feel for a Felow work man Mr.
Danner Dont he surprised if you Should find yer place
Lighted one of those nights I hope god will do by
you as you are doing keeping the Bread out of
mens month you have known and have been
out of a job do by another as you Should like to
be done unto that is not lit yur men make over time put on
more men.—humanity." At a meeting of eight :masters and
eight operative carpenters, which was held SOIL e few days
since in connection with the formation of the. proposed
Court of Arbitration, the letter above cino.:ed Ix as read to
the delegates representing the various lodges of carpenters
and joiners in Bristol, all of whom express !d their disap-
probation and disgust at such a letter havi cg, been sent to
Mr. Banner, and promised to bring the matter before the
various lodges.

On Wcdnesday, after a long discussion, lhe Bolton
Town Council decided by 17 to 14, to allow ref red hments to
be sold on Sundays, except from 10.30 to 12.30 a..m. in the
pavilion in the park. Last year tie Mayor game tb 3 casting
vote against this course, and the result has been that the
pavilion has hitherto been unoccupied.

EDUCATION.

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Mr. MELLY called the attention of the house to the
number of young children in our large towns who were
growing up without any education, unaffected either by
the educational clausesof the Factory Act or by voluntary
efforts, and moved fur a select committee to inquire into
the serious state of matters, and report on a system of
education that might remedy the same.
Mr. DIXON seconded the motion.

Mr. FAWCETT moved as an amendment the fol-
lowing :—" That in the opinion of that House it
was inexpedient to grant the proposed committee,
because the Government had at its command the it forma-
tion necessary for the framing of a comprehensive mea-
sure of national education, and that this house was fur-
ther of opinion that it was most important that such a
measure should be introduced with the least possible
delay."

THE FUNERAL OF LORD GOUGIL

It was said by one of the wisest of the ancients
that funerals were rather for gratifying the pride of
the living than for honouring the memory of the
dead. The funeral of Lord Gough was, we suspect,
no exception to the rule. The dead soldier would
scarcely have wished the committal of his body
to the ground to have been accompanied with
ostentatious memorials of his victories over
those bravest of brave foes, and subsequently
stanchest of stanch allies—the Sikhs. It must have
been Lord Gough's relatives who dragged out the
guns taken at Chillianwallah (that victory only one
degree less disastrous than a defeat) : it was by the
wish of the survivors, surely, that all the Orders and
swords and medals belonging to the departed veteran
were arranged with pompous display in the room
where lay the dead body that was about to be given
to the worms.
