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 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, 13id., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Bo particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
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 that aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

SIC 'COS NON VOWS.

Father Ignatius is really to be pitied. He built a
beautiful monastery chapel for his Norwich monks,
and ran seriously into debt in doing so. Somebody
has seized the chapel and handed it over to a female
minister of a certa n Dissenting community at
Norwich, which means to adopt the building for
Dissenting worship by demolishing the altar. This
is rather hard. It would have been bad enough if
the chapel had been seized by a body which had
regularly ordained ministers, but that it should be
devoted to a sect which set at defiance St. Paul's
injunction by permitting its women to teach, may
well arouse the ire of the Superior of the English
0. S. B." We have rarely met with such an
instance of 81.0 VO3 non vobis in dificath ayes.

:MIGRATION TO CANADA.
The Rev. A. S. Herring, president of the St.
Paul's Emigration Society, Clerkenwell, announces
that the Government of Ontario has determined to
make a free grant of 200 acres to all bond fide settlers.
Such liberality
the emigration of the poor. To transform Lord
will beyond doubt greatly promote
Palmerston's epigram, pauperism is only labourin the
wrong place, and this good thing in search of proper
vocation is rapidly on the increase in England.
But much remains to be done before the thousands
who starve upon the poor rates here can be employed
in tilling their two hundred acres in Ontario. There
is the Atlantic to cross, and the interior of the colony
to reach. The Star reminds its readers that the
agricultural district of Ontario are four or five hun-
dred miles from the coast, and that to land in
Canada without funds would be worse than remain-
ing in Bethnal-green. Vigorous assistance at home
is needed to give an impetus to this necessary emi-
gration movement. The St. Paul's Emigration
Society numbers 1,000 persons, who are prepared to
try their fortune in the West, but are waiting for
the means.

SOUTH DERBYSHIRE ELECTION.

In spite of the tremendous efforts used in behalf
of Mr. Evans, the Liberal candidate, his opponent,
Colonel Wilmot, has succeeded in beating him by
the narrow majority of 29 votes. The result,
however, shews that the Liberal cause has gained
some ground since the election in November, while
the Conservative interest has correspondingly lost in
numbers. At the late general election, the two
successful candidates, Sir Thomas Gresley and Mr.
Rowland Smith, polled an average of 3,596 votes
each ; on the other hand, their opponents,
E
Mr. Colvile and Mr. vans, could not
muster more than an average of 3,363,
thereby giving the Conservatives a majority
of 233. On Thursday Colonel Wilmot polled 101
less than his party did in November, but Mr. Evans
brought up 103 more, thus reducing the majority of
233 to 29. To spew the equality of figures polled at
the general election, two months since, and the
present contest, it may be stated that the total
number of electors polling for Sir Thomas Gresley
and Mr. Colvile (the highest Conservative and the
highest Liberal) was 6,990, and the total polling for
Colonel Wilmot and Mr. Evans was 6,961, being
only 29 less, which, curiously enough, is exactly
Colonel Wilmot's majority. This is not the first
severe fight in this division of the county. At
the general election of 1859 Mr. Mundy was elected
by a majority of one over his Liberal opponent,
the Hon. A. 11. Vernon, and in 1865 Mr. Colvile
turned the tables on Mr. Mundy by polling 31 more.
The constituency contains a population of about
150,000, which would go a considerable way towards
Mr. Baxter's gain of 400,000 for the Conservative
party. A difference of less than one per cent. of
the Derbyshire electors in favour of the Liberal
would have reduced that gain to 250,000.
This one fact shews how worthless all calculations
are, except those based on the actual number of
voters who recorded their votes.

OBITUARY.

To-day's obituary contains the names of the Earl
of Wicklow, aged 81 ; Sir Henry Jervis, aged 70 ; and
Sir J. T. Ibettson-Selwin 85. Lord Wicklow was one
of the Irish Howards, and was marriedto a sister of the
Duke of Abercorn. He was a Knight of the Order
of St. Patrick, and a lord-lieutenant of the
county of. Wicklow, and those two dignities are now
at the disposal of the Government. He was also a
representative peer of Ireland. His heir is the Ilor,
Charles Francis Arnold, who is in the Lancers, and
is just 30 years old. Sir Henry Jervis-Whyte Jervis
was also an Irishman. He was the second baronet.
and succeeded his father in 18.0. He was formerly
in the navy. His eldest son, Humphrey, w.:s born it
1821; his second son is the somewhat promineir
Colonel Jervis, M.P. for Harwich. SirJ. T. ibettson-
Selwin, was the sixth baronet, and succeeded his
nephew in 1801. He is succeeded by Mr. Selwin-
Ibbetson, M.P., for West Essex, and who married
the daughter of the late Lord Lyndhurst.

THE DESTRUCTION

THE TOL3I AEN.

The destruction of the Cornish Tolmaen, in Con-
stantine parish, near I'enrhyn, which we recently
recorded, seems to have been an act of wanton bar-
barism. The singular natural bridge, called by
borlase the most astonishing monument of its Rana,
was blown up simply for the sake of its granite.
But why it should have been blown up even from a
love of gain it is hard to understand ; for Sir
John Lubbock writes to the Times that having been
informed some wceis ago by the Rev. Mr. Win-
wood that the Tolmaen was in danger, he
put himself in communication with the proprietor,
Mr. Haskin, intending to offer some compensation
for, or, if possible, to acquire it permanently for the
nation ; but ho was assured that there was no reason
for aiiy anxiety on the subject. The feelings of
geologists and scientific men generally towards Mr.
4-nrrnrils his man Dunstan (who was -the
perpetrator of the act of vandalism) " may b.) better
imagined than described."

THE PROTESTANT SUCCESSION.

The Bock has at last got hold of a formidable
bogey with which to frighten itself and to produce
fear in other people. The question " Whither are
we drifting ?" is answered by our contemporary.
We are now and have been engaged as a nation for
some time past "in removing every obstacle that
the wisdom of our ancestors had raised against the
transference of the throne from the Protestant House
of Hanover to the Popish Stuarts." And the time
being fully ripe, the Stuart has now appeared. A
writer in the Church 14ews has alarmed the Rock by
saying " under all circumstances, I wonder we hear
nothiqg of the representative of the Stuarts. He is
kept bottled-up in America for service in England
or Ireland, when opportunity may offer. I once had
a glimpse of him, and he wanted to incite me to
mortal combat for having talked about the obsolete
tyranny of the Stuarts.' All in good time for his
appearance on the scene." The Rock does not quite
put faith in this bottled-up gentleman ; but tells its
readers that the ex-Duke of Modena is—treating
the hateful incursion of Dutch William as a mere
usurpation—the rightful heir to the English throne.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY.

The governor and directors of the Hudson's Bay terri-
tory have determined to recommend the acceptance of
Earl Granville's proposal to the shareholders. Whether
the latter will listen to the advice of the board is a ques-
tion which will be settled at the meeting which takes
place to-day. But it is abundantly clear that the com-
pany will never have an opportunity more favourable to
their interests than the present. The terms offered by Earl
Granville are good, though not what the company expected.
The shareholders retain all their hunting rights, and, in
addition, will receive a sum of money equal to a return of
£3 a share on all their subscribed capital, a large extent of
land around each of their present trading stations, the
right to select two millions of acres in the best part of the
country, and will enjoy a certain freedom from taxation.
Of course they will suffer in one respect: the value of
the region as a hunting-ground will diminish as it becomes
colonised. But this deterioration, which must be a work
of time, will be counterbalanced by the increase in the
value of the land which is retained.

THE UNITED STATES.

Mr. A. T. Stewart's inability to take office under Pre-
sident Grant has lost the United States a Minister of rare
public spirit. Mr. Stewart was disqualified from taking
the Secretaryship of the Treasury by the Act of 1789,
which excludes from the post all persons engaged in
commercial pursuits. In order to get over this
legal difficulty—which the Senate would not remove—
Mr. Stewart offered to place the profits of his immense
business in the hands of trustees for purposes of charity.
But the most eminent lawyers have decided that this
philanthropic expedient will not suffice to escape the con-
sequences of the Act. Mr. Stewart has therefore retired
altogether; but he takes with him the respect of all men.

CON El BESS.

SENATE.

On the 26th Feb. a conference report on the
Naval Appropriation Bill was concurred in. The
bill " to strengthen the public credit" was reported
with amendments, by Mr. Sherman. from the
Finance Committee. The conference report on
the Suffrage Amendment was considered and finally,
adopted by a vote of 39 to 11. Fowler, of Ten-
nessee, voted with the negatives. The bill relat-
ing to National Banking reports, to prevent
certifying of checks by the banks in certain
cases, and to protect passengers in vessels, were
passed.—On the 27th the credentials of Hannibal
Hamlin, Senator elect from Maine, were present

The bill to strengthen the public credit was con-
sidered and passed—yeas 29, nays 16. Mr. Wilson
introduced a hill for the more equal distribution of
National banking capital, and Mr. Sherman one
for the recognition of the independence of Cuba.--
On the Ist March the credentials of Senators elect
T. F. I3ayard, of Delaware, Boreman, of West
Virginia, and Brownlow, of Tennessee, were pre-
sented. The bill authorizing sentences of hard
labour, in addition to imprisonment, for certain
offences against the United States, was passed. A
House resolution suspending the rules so as to
allow the transmission of bills from either House
within the last three days of the session was con-
curred in. The Army Appropriation Bill was con-
sidered.—On the 2d a Conference Committee was
appointed on the Public Credit Bill. A conference
report on the Diplomatic Appropriations Bills was
agreed to. The Legislative Appropriation Bill was
considered, and Mr. Morton moved to add a sec-
tion repealing the Tenure-of-Office Act. the pro-
position was rejected—yeas 22, nays 26. The bill
was passed with various amendments. The Post-
office Bill was then taken up.--On the 3d the Pub-
lic Credit Bill was reported by the Conference
Committee, and agreed to yeas 31, nays 24. A
resolution of respect to Mr. n ade, the retiring Pre-
sident, was offered by Mr. Davis and passed. A
night session was had to dispose of the appropria-
tions and other unfinished business.

TURKEY AND PERSIA.

The dispute which threatened to culminate in a war
between Turkey and Persia is now to be settled by the
popular remedy for international disorders. The diffi-
culty, which relates to the frontier of the two countries,
will be 'referred to a commission, which will definitely
map out the boundary line. Several European repre-
sentatives will take part in the deliberations, as in the
case of the commission which determined the frontier of
Montenegro.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —llol:oway's Ointment and Pills
Better than a fortune.—The study of disease, its causes, and a
perpetual search for its remedies, have anxiously engaged the
attention of philosophers from time immemorial. Yet this grand
discovery was reserved for Holloway. It is purely vegetable
extracts : can be safely and effectively used by all persons suffer-
ing from external and internal ailments. The directions wrapped
round every pot of ointment and every box of pills are amply
sufficient to guide the most diffident, and to encourage the most
timid. When illness makes its appearance and remedies are
eagerly' sought after, none will be found more effectual than
Holloway's in alleviating and encouraging the pains of the dis-
eased; and the afflicted. Both ointment and pill@ purify and
preserve.

313 VENTLR LEGISLATORS.

During Lord Palmerston's last Government the
House of Commons was famous for the number of
octogenarians it contained. The present Parliament
is no less remarkable for vigintarians. There are
more than fifty M.P.'s under thirty years of age. A
large proportion of them belong to the Upper Ten
Thousand, and represent county constituencies,
or boroughs which are under the control
of great landowners. The youngest member
in the House is Mr. Hutton, who represents
Northallerton, and is just of age, Ile is the owner
of an estate close to the borough, and " Dod" tells us
that " he will oppose to the utmost of his power the
disestablishment of the Irish Church." No doubt if
Troy is to be saved it is Master llutton's right hand
that will save it. Next youngest to him is Lord
Edmund Fitzmaurice, who sits for his brother, the
Marquis of Lansdowne. This young gentlemen is
in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish Church,
the abolition of religious tests, and " amodilied system -
of compulsory education." No doubt he has thoroughly
mastered a complete scheme. North Northumber-
land has a particular penchant for juvenile legis-
lators, and is represented by members aged respec-
tively 22 and 26. It need scarcely be said that other
great families besides the Fitzmaurices and the Percies
have their cadets in the Legislature. The Duke of
Abercorn succeeded in winning a seat for his son,
Lord George Hamilton, aged 23, in the county of
Middlesex, one of the most remarkable Cen.servative
triumphs throughout the election. The Duke of
Argyll's son, the Marquis of Lorne, and the Duke
of Sutherland's brother, Lord Ronald Gower, both
23, sit for safe Scotch counties, where their relatives
are nothing less than sovereigns. Lord Fitzwilliam
has seated a son, aged 29, in Wicklow county, and
another, aged 30, in South-West Yorkshire. Lord
Lyttleton has placed one, aged 26, in East Worcester-
shire; Lord Derby one, aged 27, in North Lanca-
shire ; Lord Belper one, aged 28, in East Derby-
shire ; and the Earl of Bradford one,
aged 23, in North Shropshire. Mr. Glad-
stone and Mr. Hardy have each an alter
ego in the House. Sometimes young men have
won important constituencies in an open fight. For
M.. T-inarr. naed 2fi,, beat lUr. lkinffatt hy

TILE UNITED STATES.

Mr. A. T. Stewart's inability to take office under Pre-
sident Grant has lost the United States a Alinister of rare
public spirit. Mr. Stewart was disqualified from taking
the Secretaryship of the Treasury by the Act of 1789,
which excludes from the post all persons engaged in
commercial pursuits. In order to get over this
legal difficulty—which the Senate would not remove—
Mr. Stewart offered to place the profits of his immense
business in the hands of trustees for purposes of charity.
But the most eminent lawyers have decided that this
philanthropic expedient will not suffice to escape the con-
sequences of the Act. Mr. Stewart has therefore retired
altogether; but he takes with hi'n the respect of all men.

PAINFUL _ROMANCE IV REAL LIFE.

z csterday morning nu inquest wLs held in Windmill-
street, City-road, upon the Lody of Elizabeth Margaret
Wilkins, aged two years and three months, who was alleged

to have died from starvation. The facts connected with the
case are of the most rainful description,:and were gathered
from the evidence of Margaret Wilkins, the child's mother.
Margaret Wilkins was the daughter of a wealthy farmer
in Worcestershire, and seven years ago she was persuaded
by a young medical man to elope with him. It was given
out that they were married, and they lived in good style
at Islington. They had four children. After some
years the father of the young man, who is very
wealthy, discovered that the couple were not married,
and he insisted on their separation. This, after some
demur was agreed to, and she was left with her youngest
child and an allowance of 10s. a week. After a while the
other children were sent back to her, upon her
making a complaint that she was not allowed to see
them, and further assistance was refused. She fell into
great poverty, which she attempted to relieve by singing at
music halls. When this resource failed, she applied to the
parish for relief, and they allowed her 3s. a week and
three loaves. From want of food her youngest child fell
ill, and on Tuesday she got a medical order marked
" urgent." On Friday the doctor came, and that morning
her child, died. The jury found a 'erdict "That the
deceased child died from mesenteric disease, accelerated
by want of food and medical attendance."

TEE ACTION BY DI?. GARRETT.

An action arising out of the agitation for the closing of
public-houses on the Sunday, has just been concluded at
Manchester. The well-known Dr. Garrett, rector of
Christ Church, Moss-side, Manchester, sued the Rev.
T. Stowell, rector of Christ Church, Salford, and
Mr. Robert Whitworth for £5,000 damages, on
account of libel. Dr. Garrett, as an officer
of the "Central Association for Stopping the Sale of
Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday," did that on behalf of
the society which the defendants alleged he had no
right to do; and the latter (as secretaries of the association)
published an explanation of the facts. This explanation
Dr. Garrett took as reflecting upon his character, and
brought his action at the last Winter Assizes at Man-
chester. The judge, however, as soon as had heard the
bearings of the case, intimated his opinion that the ques-
tion was not ono to be investigated in a court of law.
A verdict for the plaintiff for £5,000 was then taken by
consent, subject to a reference. Mr. Robert Gladstone,
of Manchester, was chosen arbitrator. He has now
annulled the verdict, and ordered plaintiff to pay all
costs. He publishes a letter, however, in which he says :
"I am desirous of preventing any misconception which
might arise as to the nature of my decision, and wish to
state that the defendants upon the reference disclaimed
all intention of imputing to the plaintiff any dishonesty in
the appropriation of the moneys which came into his
hands. I trust, therefore, that my award may not be
construed prejudicially to the plaintiff with reference to
any imputation of that character." The plaintiff inserts
an advertisement paragraph in one of the Manchester
papers, in which he says the decision is so obviously against
evidence that he shall soon take an opportunity of laying
the whole of the facts before the public.

LORD MAYO'S INDIAN POLICY.

- -
The Telegraph has good grounds for believing that Lord
Mayo is already active in his efforts to promote public
works in India, especially branch railways and irrigation
canals—the most urgent needs of the empire. Lord
Mayo also supports the " policy of peaceful
advantage" in Affghanistan. Shere Ali has been
already helped with monetary presents, and will
probably meet Lord Mayo at llmballa in the present
spring ; but the Viceroy is also making handsome offers
of asylum and maintenance to Azim Khan and Abdool
Rahman, the enemies of the reigning Emir. If these
be accepted, our position in the country will be still
stronger.

THE ERNEST JONES COMMEMORATION.

It is now definitely decided that the procession
and meeting in memory of Mr. Ernest Jones
shall be held on Good Friday; and as yet no
order preventing the meeting has been issued from
Scotland Yard. The speakers announced are Mr.
Holyoake, the Rev. J. Applctree, Messrs. Bradlaugh,
Howell, Wade, and Lucraft. Amidst general con-
demnation, Mr. Holyoake raises a solitary note in
defence of the meeting. He says the objections to
it proceed from the middle class, whose con-
ventional cant Mr. Holyoake is much disgusted with.
The working men, he says, have sympathies
which they want to express. "Do we live in Paris,
that working men should be required to obtain per-
mission of Colonel Henderson, or the Home Office,
whether they shall listen for twenty minutes to a
few words spoken for the dead whom they have it
in their hearts to hononr ? Is the sentiment of
reverence and unforgetfulness by the people for
one who spoke for them alike in peace and peril so
i common that t needs no encouragement ? and are
the regulations of London such that its manifesta-
tion must be frowned down ?" With regard to the
fitness of the day, Mr. Holyoake says, " I would take
no part in any public proceeding which could justly
be held as inconsistent with the decorum of a day
regarded as sacred by my countrymen, but I have
always learned that grateful reverence for the ser-
vices of the dead is an act sacred in itself."

THE ELECTIONS IN lIIINGART.

The Government cannot fail to command a large ma-
jority at the termination of the elections now pending.
About 200 niembers have already been returned, and of
these the Government has secured a majority of 50. In
Transylvania it is expected that this superiority will be
still further increased. The result shews that the people
have now confidence in their rulers, and the Vienna
journals all agree that this feeling is increased by t,he
friendship which, all alliance rumours apart, has un-
doubtedly been established between Austria and Italy.

GREECE AFTER THE RUPTURE.

King ,George has returned to Athens, after his tour
through the southern part of his kingdom. He has
been absent twenty days. The Independance Beige
says that the young sovereign has everywhere
met with a warm and sympathetic reception.
Nowhere did the conduct of the populace justify the
rumours of the discontent which was said to have been
awakened by the solution of the difficulty with the Porte.
.The internal condition of the kingdom is improving,
though, of course, at no very rapid pace. Changes are to
be made in the personnel of the Administration, which
greatly needs such reform.

OBITUARY.

To-day's obituary contains the names of the Earl
of Wicklow, aged 81 • Sir Henry Jervis, aged 76 ; and
Sir J. T. Ibettson-Selwin 85. Lord Wicklow was one
of the Irish Howards,and was marriedto a sister of the
Duke of Abercorn. He was a Knight of the Order
of St. Patrick, and a lord-lieutenant of the
county of. Wicklow, and those two dignities are now
at the disposal of the Government. He was also a
representative peer of Ireland. His heir is the Hoe.
Charles Francis Arnold, who is in the Lancers, and
is just 30 years old. Sir Henry Jervis-Whyte Jervis
was also an Irishman. He was the second baronet,
and succeeded his father in 18; 0. He was formerly
in the navy. His eldest son, Humphrey, was born it
1821 ; his second son is the somewhat prominein
Colonel Jervis, M.P. for Harwich, SirJ. T. Ibettson-
Selwin, was the sixth baronet, and succeeded his
nephew in 1801. He is succeeded by Mr. Seiwin-
Ibbctson, M.P., for West Essex, and who married
the daughter of the late Lord Lyndhurst.

THE DESTRUCTION

TIIE TOLM AEN.

The destruction of the Cornish Tolmaen, in Con-
stantine parish, near Penrhyn, which we recently
recorded, seems to have been an act of wanton bar-
barism. The singular natural bridge, called by
liorlase the most astonishing monument of its kind,
was blown up simply for the sake of its granite.
But why it should have been blown up even from a
love of gain it is hard to understand ; for Sir
John Lubbock writes to the Time 3 that having been
informed some weeks ago by the Rev. Mr. Win-
wood that the Tolmaen was in danger, he
put himself in communication with the proprietor,
Mr. Haskin, intending to offer some compensation
for, or, if possible, to acquire it permanently for the
nation ; but he was assured that there was no reason
for 0..4 anxiety on the subject. The feelings of
geologists and scientific men generally towards Mr.
Haskin and towards his man Dunstan (who was the
perpetrator of the act of vandalism) " may be better
imagined than described."
