LONDON AND PARIS.

Newspaper correspondents, in their nabltual com-
plaints of the dirtiness and dinginess of London, fre-
quently point to Paris as an example by which metro-
politan authorities might profit. But there is a vast
difference between the two capitals. Paris is a show-
place, it is profitable to be such, and therefore an
immense outlay is incurred for the simple purpose of
keeping the city fit for the reception and entertain-
ment of its numerous guests. An army is daily
employed in sweeping, rolling, watering, scraping,
and brushing every public place. "Fancy,"
says the Times' correspondent, stationing detach-
ments of men with baskets of sand to diminish the
slipperiness of the road ! In summer, the roads, the
graesplots, the trees and shrubs in the Champs
Elys6es, the Bois do Boulogne, and the many other
parks and gardens, are all profusely washed and
watered by men's bands." Besides these cleansers,
there are regular detachments of ruder scavengers
whom only early risers see. London can never be
made a show-place in this way; but it might, never-
theless, be rendered a little more presentable than it
is. It cannot be very gay, but it might be decent.

THE SPANISH CROWN.
Further proof is now given to the effect that
the Duke of Genoa cannot be King of Spain, and
that Prim and his colleagues have committed a de-
plorable blunder in proposing him. The Politica
of Madrid states that King Victor Emmanuel has
informed the Spanish Ambassador at Florence of his
resolution not to permit the Duke of Genoa to accept
the crown. A Times' telegram says it is
reported that this negative is due to the
Emperor Napoleon's objection to see the Italian
dynasty aggrandised, and the Mediterranean
converted into an Italian lake. It is also said that
approrch2s had been made without success to Prince
Luis Victor, brother of the Emperor of Austria and
of Maximilian. Of course it does not follow that the
Politica is infallibly right; but the Government
papers are quite silent, it seems certain altogether
that the Progressist party has been guilty of an un-
pardonable mistake. Meanwhile, the Cortes, with
true Spanish indifference, is haggling about the Crown
jewels.

EDUCATION.

There can be no doubt about which question just
now comes home most closely to Englishmen. The
Irish difficulty is the great question of the hour ; but
that of education is the most directly important. The
meetings in various Tarts of the country are now
becoming so numerous that it is impossible to chronicle
them all. Two of the Education League were held on
Wednesday, one at Lambeth, and the other at Burslem.
At Burslem, Messrs. Dixon and Melly were the chief
speakers. In London, Sir C. W. Mike, the member
for Chelsea, advocated the League scheme. He very
earnestly supported the idea of Government schools
bring free, and observed, with regard to the religious
difficulty, that in districts where denominations were
strong enough, they could support their own schools.
The Churchmen also met in London at King's
College, on Wednesday. Dr. Barry, the Principal of
the College, read a paper upon Education. He urged
that the voluntary system should not be altogether
superseded; that inspection should be enforced in all
schools ; that all masters should require a certificate;
that indirect, rather than direct, compulsion should
be exercised upon parents ; and that distinctive reli-
gious teaching should be upheld. Mr. Hubbard,
M.P., protested against conscience clauses; but Lord
Lyttleton spoke in favour of them—in favour, that is,
of complete liberty of teaching to the teacher, and
complete liberty of withdrawal to the parent.

MANIFESTO OF COUNT CIL&MBORD.

Count Chambord has issued a manifesto on the position
of France. He accounts for the reserve which he has
hitherto maintained, by declaring that he wished to do
nothing to increase the difficulties of the country. He
alludes to his prophecy concerning the new Empire which
he uttered at the time of its establishment, seventeen
years ago. He then said that the true monarchy, sup-
ported by hereditary right and consecrated by time, was
the only advantageous form of government for the French
people. Events, he affirms, have shewn that he was a true
prophet. France is threatened with convulsions, and
hereditary monarchy is the solo harbour of refuge
in which she can find repose after so many storms. Count
Chambord adds, that those who promise reforms in order
to quiet the people are unable to keep their pledges,
because they appeal to the passions of the nation and not
to its virtues. He concludes by declaring that the tradi-
tional monarchy can alone develope all the noble instincts
ofjFrance, and make her great and respected among nations,

THE ANTI-COUNCIL AT NAPLES.

The .Patria of Naples reports the proceedings of the
first meeting of the Anti-Council. It was held in the
Teatre San Ferdinando. Signor Riccardi was the president,
and from four to five hundred persons attended. The
president delivered an address, in which he explained the
purport of their proceedings. They met in opposition to
the CEcumenical Council, and they desired to create sk
human religion, founded upon liberty and reason. Com-
munications of sympathy were received from absent
friends, among whom were llichelet, Victor Hugo, and
Garibaldi. The meeting adjourned, after several speeches
bad been delivered. The Anti-Council has since been dis-
solved by the authorities.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'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
tolled the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; pre mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
Jumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear 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.

SHORT SyMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Ludgate Hill, London, KC.

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.

The Annual Premium Inman of the Company, at the
close rd 1868, was £220,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured £4.832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist --The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transne!ed by other Compalies.
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.
Tho Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,562,900. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing. wa4 • £139,322 15 8
The Premium -income of the Industrial
Brunch was 188,546, the sum Assured
.C 3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve...... 50,000 0 0

£189,32215 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does tot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very larg , proportion of
Policies which coust .ntly lat se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 11
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.
Tho Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was £211,301112''4
The average duration of the who'e of
►he Industrial Policies was cousiderahly
under three years.
The average age of the Assured In the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.
A detailed List of Assets can be had on application.'

WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.

The annual meeting of the National Society for
Women's Suffrage shewed, at least, that the new
doctrine is no party one. Mr. Charley hobnobbed
with Mr. Jacob Bright,
.the former highly compli-
menting the latter. The display of partisanship was
of the smallest. Mr. Bright observed that the
funds of the association were mainly obtained
by ladies, and the association was chiefly con-
ducted by the women of Manchester and its
neighbourhood. After this exhibition of ability
and public spirit on the part of women, it was simply
absurd to continue to exclude them from the simple
but important duty of giving a vote. Miss Becker
read an exceedingly able report. The concession of
municipal rights to women was of course deemed a
strong argument, and an infallible precursor of victory
on the more important question.

TREATMENT OF EMIGRANTS IN AUSTRALIA.

The various New Holland colonies are constantly
crying out for more emigrants ; but the doings of the
Government of South. Australia can hardly be
regarded as an encouragement to intending settlers.
Six years ago this colony induced a number of
capitalists to subt.vribe for 250,000 acres of land in
a settlement to be created by the Government
in the Northern Territory. r The formation of
the settlement roved to be attended with
difficulties, and in the course of about two
years, the Legislative Council adopted a resolution
that "in order to maintain the credit of South
Australia, it was desirable to refund to the purchasers
the money paid by them." The House of Assembly
refused to ratify this, and the parties interested
remained without redress. Two years passed, and the
same Ministry once more proposed that the money
should be returned without interest; but the Legis-
lature still refused. The sagacious Government, its
measure being rejected, resolved to have a new
survey, and to insist upon the subscribers taking
such land as might eventally be allotted them 1
Six TORTS after the first bargain it is thought that a
double portion of land—for such a quantity is pro-
mised—will compensate the duped capitalists for the
lock-up of their money. When people make such
contracts it is on the understanding that they will be
ratified at once, and not after the lapse of a space
which may have altered their circumstances and
intentions. The offer of a double quantity of land is,
as the Times remarks, neither an exculpation nor an
apology.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
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,

THE RACHEL SCANDAL.,

Two law cases have within the last few months excited
$ large amount of attention—the Rachel Scandal and the
Convent Case. Both of them bid fair to hang about the
courts, and to give trouble to our judges for some time to
come. The case of " Saurin v. Starr and Kennedy,"
though it occupied such a long time in trial, is on its
way to come before the full bench at Westminster, and
is already moving in the Court of Chancery. The Rachel
case is ever cropping up at unseemly times in unexpected
places—then in the police court, again before the judge at
Chambers, and now before a common jury at the assizes.
Mrs. Borrodaile, the complainant at the Old Bailey, was
on Tuesday the defendant at the Kingston Assizes, in a
suit :in which a Miss Sutton was the plaintiff. Miss
Sutton sought to obtain from Mrs. Borrodaile the sum of
£l6O 18s. for services alleged to have been rendered in
respect of the Rachel trial.
The, presiding judge was Mr. Baron Bramwell. Ser-
jeant Robinson and Mr. Philbrick appeared for the plain-
tiff ; Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. F. H. Lewis for the
defendant.

Mentioned it to his counsel in consultation. Mrs. Borro.
daile was called to confirm him, but she did not appear to
remember distinctly, and all she could say was that she
complained of Miss Sutton's interference, and that
Miss Sutton had said she had acted for her from
sympathy. Miss Sutton was then recalled to contra-
dict the statement of Mr. Lewis, and denied that she had
said, " I have never made any charge, and have never
sought to make anything by you ;" but she admitted she
said, " I have never worried you for money ; I have done
all I could do for you from sympathy."
This closed the evidence in the case, and Mr.Baron)3ram-
well expressed a clear opinion that the plaintiff could not
maintain her claim for the supposed obtaining of money,
because no money had been obtained, and the negotia-
tions for it had been broken off and fallen through.
This, after some discussion, was assented to by Miss
Sutton's counsel, and the counsel for Mrs. Borrodaile then
addressed the jury on the evidence as to the rest of the
case, representing it as fraudulent, and urging that Miss
Sutton's case was falsified by the admitted fact that in
September IS6B Mrs. Borrodaile had actually complained
of her interference, and bad tried to shake her off, and had
refused to speak to her. The counsel for the plaintiff
having replied, and the judge having summed up, the
jury returned a verdict for plaintiff for £5.
