CONCLUSION.

The message concludes with a note on the French
Atlantic Cable, and shews that the difficulty about the
monopoly has not been settled. He advocates care in the
Naturalisation Laws ; that nations should agree to protect
emigrants ; that China and Japan should receive more
attention ; that the Quakers' policy be carried out towards
the Indians ; that strict integrity bo shewn in all commer-
cial relations, all obligations being fulfilled.

Medical literature contributes a new term to the
Slang Dictionary. That peculiar swelling of the knee
which used to be called the " housemaid's knee" is now
known among surgeons as the "ritualistic knee."

Owing to the extensive destruction of trees in
Victoria, the climate is changing. Near Ballarat the rain-
fall is sensibly diminished, and the Government is taking
measures to prevent the waste of timber, and to'establish
nurseries of forest trees.

DIOCESE OF OXFOItD.—Dr. Mackarness, Bishop
Nominate of Oxford, has appointed as his chaplains Arch-
deacon Clerke, the Rev. Edwin Palmer, of Balliol College,
and the Rev. W. Ince, of Belliol College.

FENIAN DEMONSTRATION IN DUNDEE.--A concert
was given in the Kinnaird Hall, Dundee, on Saturday eve-
ning in aid of the Fenian prisoners, or, as the bills styled
them, "the Irish Political Prisoners." Mr. John Green,
president of the Dundee Amnesty Association, under
whose auspices the concern was given, occupied
the chair, and introduced the different performers. The
audience numbered about 2,000, and was composed princi-
pally of boys and young men and women—all Irish. The
entertainment seemed to give general satisfaction, and
the singing of the Irish airs drew forth vociferous
cheering. Immediately before the meeting was closed the
following resolution, proposed by Mr. James Hannah, and
seconded by Mr. Samuel M'Kenna, was carried by acclama-
tion :—" Resolved, that this meeting is of opinion that it
is the duty of the Irish people of Dundee to co-operate
with our countrymen throughout Great Britain and Ire.
land in demanding the release of our brothers who are now
incarcerated in British prisons for political offences ; and
we regard any Government who refuse to set those men
at liberty as hostile to the most cherished wishes of the
Irish people, as enemies to our country and our race, and
L therefore unfit to govern Irelancl isksi4;it fit NtiCLIAlg
