THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The _Railway News says that there is some reason
to believe that the attempt now being made
to wind up the European Assurance Com-
pany is not wholly unconnected with that
system of " wrecking ' which a year or two
since was applied so mercilessly to numerous joint-
stock companies. The petitions for winding up were
very numerous, and among the agents were several
whose names are very familiar to persons who have
watched the proceedings in these winding-up concerns.
In reply to the petition for winding up, the manager,
our contemporary observes, distinctly states that the
company is in a solvent condition, and a special
examiner has been appointed by the Court to take his
evidence upon this point.

The Broad Arrow states tuat the Hydrog,rapher of
the Navy has been on an official visit to Jersey to in-
quire into the details of the pilotage establishment in
that island. Before leaving he ordered the establish-
ment to be closed, and the Jersey cutter to be removed
from the station. Six of the pilots will be transferred
to the Dasher in lieu of the same number of petty
officers. The Speedy has also been ordered to Ports-
mouth, to be put out of commission on the comple-
tion of the Channel Islands survey.

CENTRAL ASIA.

The Moscow Gazette has a remarkable article on the rela-
tions between England and Russia in Central Asia. I'
states that it was Russia who proposed the neutralisation
of Affghanistan, and that, seeing England was uneasy
at the aspect of affairs in Asia, she offered a pledge of her
pacific intentions, making, at the same time, a counter de-
mand on England, the substance of which is not stated.
The Moscow Gazette, which makes this assertion,
disapproves of the action -it attributes to its
own Government, as Russia has assumed a new
and advantageous position with regard to the British
empire by her invasion of Turkistan, an advantage which
the Moscow Gazette does not think her called upon to sur-
render. This journal, which is b .!lieved to be the organ of
the national party among the upper classes of Russia,
is evidently anxious that Russian influence should
increase in India. Herat, which the Russians hold,
has been called the Key of India, and though England may
subsidise the Affghan prinees, it is thought that Russia
in case of war would gain the good will of the
Affghan people by holding out the hope of Indian plunder.
It has been suggested that the counter demand which
Russia made while offering to neutralise Afghanistai was
with regard to the English policy in Turkey, as India and
Turkey aro the only two points on which the interests of
the two countries clash.

ECONOMY IN COAL CONTRACTS.

A. story has been told by Sir Edward Watkin
during his electioneering tour in East Cheshire, which
goes far to prove the sterling business qualities of the
Secretary to the Admiralty. A Mr. Ashton had
applied to several members of the Government for a
sum of £30,000 or £40,000 for the enlargement of
Ashton's College, in order that the child of
any working man might have a collegiate educa-
tion.
Owens Not

Baxter of the apvlioation, when the latter immediately
replied, give it him. I have saved

turned out that a plan had been for years in opera-
tion whereby only a favoured few were permitted to
send in tenders for coals, and one of these few always
secured the contract. Mr. Baxter found this out, and
went down into South Wales to the open market,
and, on one contract alone, in one morning, saved the

THE LATE ANTRIM ELECTION.

Another illustration of Orange tyranny is reported
from the North of Ireland. It will be recollected
that in the late contest for the representation of
county Antrim, Mr. Dalway, M.P. for Carrickfergus,
energetically supported Colonel Adair, although the
former had opposed the Government on the Irish
Church question. For this act he has drawn down
upon him the vengeance of the Orange party. The
masters of the lodges have been requested to have
resolutions of censure passed, and Mr. Dalway complains
that he has in no way violated the rules of the Orange
Institution in adopting the political cGurse which he
took. The 'Northern 7Vhig condemns the proceedings
against him as inquisitorial, and calls upon Mr. John-
ston) M.P., of Ballykilbeg, to assert his independence
and sustain Mr. Dalway.

THE ABYSSINIAN EX.PEDITION4S:
It was stated a short time since that Mr. Candlish,
M.P. for Sunderland, and chairman of the Abyssinian
Committee, intended going to India, where, with
Captain Beaumont, M.P. for South Durham, he pro-
posed malting further inquiries into the extravagant
cost of the late expedition to Abyssinia. The an-
nouncement was received with a certain amount of
incredulity ; but the Northern Daily Express now
confirms the original statement. Mr. Candlish has
left Sunderland en route for India.

4'1.-SCOTCIIMAN'S VISIT TO LIEGE.

A member of the London Scottish Rifles, who had the
,temerity to go to Liege in his kilt, writes home a comiaalli
woeful account of his adventures. He was the first kilted
man who adventured the streets, and as the detachment
to which he belonged Marched through the town te
L'Athenee, he received an exceptional ovation. The
women, the sonsie Flemish dames and lasses, were
especially tickled at the sight of the kilt, and fairlY
roared with laughter as he passed. But this was not all.
Had they but laughed and let him pass on, he would leave
been comfortable enough. With one accord they pressed
forward in pursuit of him; they formed an admiring
throng around him, egging on boys to touch his legs, to sac
whether they really were bare. They persistently set to
him in uncouth dances, distending their short skirts Ndtri
their hands as they did so—in the old school-girl fashinil
most will remember, apparently in the expectancy that be
would do the like with his "petticoat," and strike up a jig
as a vis-a-vis. Although popular admiration is now divided
by the arrival of a few more kilted men, he is still, wherael
he goes, surrounded by a numerous body guard of gamin;
who appear never to have their fill of gazing at the nova'
costume.

TILE TRRATY OF PRAGUE.

Prince Metternich is said to have called the attention of
the French Government to the Prussian policy with respect
to the grand duchy of Baden. It is generally believed
that the Berlin Government seeks to incorporate Bade;
and this would be contrary to the Treaty of Prague. It is
to be noticed that the Prussian Government has never been
very scrupulous in its observance of treaties, and the
agreements which were entered into concerning North
Schleswig have not been fulfilled. The French have
always desired to keep the line vof the Maine,
and it would give great offence to their prejudices if any
attempt were made to interfere, with its integrity. The
affair iu rendered still more complicated by the fact that
France connot protest against the violation of the Treaty of
Prague, because she was not one of the contracting parties.
The prevailing impression is that Prussia desires the incor-
poration of Baden, but doubts exists as to her being ready
or willing to face the storm which such a change might call
forth.

A STERN DISCIPLINARIAN.

A story is told of an old Scotch soldier, who was
nighly incensed with his degenerate nephew for
being effeminate enough to use a snowball for a
pillow while campaigning. Major-General Murray is
anxious to restore this type of military valour, and has
called the carpet knights of modern days to account.
According to the Broad Arrow, he has just issued a
divisional order to the forces under his command at
Chatham, censuring their lavish display of mas-
sive gold watch-guards and jewellery, which
he " considers to be highly objectionable, as
well as un-officer and unsoldiorlike." The
troops are also desired to moderate the amount
of whisker and moustache they indulge in, and on no
account are "imperials" to be worn The Broad
Arrow, while commiserating the distress of those
military heroes, who appear to be more anxious to
attain distinction by their gold than by the aid of
sterner metal, reminds them of Napoleon's address to
the brilliant Murat, 44 Va mon aria. Go and take
off those gewpiaws. You look as if you had come
from Francom's."

ANOTHER CABLE ACCIDENT.

To the surprise of a great many, the shares of the
Anglo-American Telegraph Company, which have
exhibited remarkable firmness for some time past, fell
on Friday to the extent of about £l. The movement
naturally led to much conversation ; and in the course
of the afternoon the following communication was
posted up :—" Information has been received this
morning that the cable of 1860 has parted about 70 miles
from Heart's Content, Newfoundland. The cable of
1805 remains in perfect condition. No interruption
in the traffic has occurred." This is not the first
time that news of such an important character has
been kept back, thereby enabling speculators to
operate, to the loss of many. The directors are
called upon to stats how long the intelligence was in
their possession previous to its announcement on the
Stock Exchange.

In addition to the above-named homes, the Committee
have under their charge three homes for servants of good
character, in which are admitted about 1,000 friendless
servants annually.
The home at Great Portland-street is for young fallen
girls from 10 to 16. The committee ate deeply anxious to
open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories aro recorded in the applicant's book.
The Society's Report (of which a contributor writes, "I
never road a report of any charitable institution which so
entirely commended itself to my mind and awoke my
sympathy") may be bad on application.
The Society is under the presidency of the Earl of
Shaftesbury. Its bankers are Messrs. Barclay and Co.
The Committee very earnestly commend its work to the
benevolent. ;DANL. COOPER, See.

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

THE ADMIRALTY AND THE LADIES'

We subjoin the Admiralty circular just issued, whic,
which will be read with curious interest by officers in 1/-
Majesty's Navy :—" Admiralty, Sept., 1869.—Great ine°n,.
venience, as well as injury to the discipline of her blajesty's
service arising from the circumstance that the wives of 00
cers and their families in many instances live on board hey
Majesty's ships, the Lords of the Admiralty have directed that
in future no lady shall be permitted to reside on board het
Majesty's ships without the express consent of the AM3I,
ralty, or, if on a foreign station, of the Commander-1u
Chief of her Majesty's ships on the station. This pern'l3.
sion, if accorded at all, will only extend to allowing liche-,
to be conveyed occasionally from one part °I ft--
station to another, and each such case is
bo speedily reported. However, should the eLl'.
tain of any of her Majesty's ships deem it
duty to comply with any formal requisition which he 1313,1'
receive from an Ambassador, Minister, chargé crakril.);
Governor, or Lieutenant-Governor of the colony to eei7,,
or take to sea any woman, he will immediately repot

THE GREAT TEA TRADE RACE.

For the last two or three years there has neen no oven'
In aquatics more interesting than the run between COI
and England with the latest tea produce from the Celeste)
Land. The arrival of the first vessel in this season's via
has been looked forward to with the greatest interesi.
and all doubt as to winner No. 1 was set at rest on lir°d'
nesday morning, at two o'clock, by the arrival of the Titanit
clipper ship, 879 tons register (Captain William
Burgoyne). The passage of the Titania was made g,
ninety-five days, which, coupled with the fact that 0'
left Shanghai, the place of exportation, a fortnight after
her competitors, will be a point of additional interest PI
nautical consideration. Captain Burgoyne is a son of thi
late Mr. Burgoyne, of the Quay, Teignmouth, and
..„.the
south coast will have good reason to pride itself on twj
.
latest addition to the annals of its seamanship.

ASSURANCE COMPANIES.

A correspondent of the Times suggests that now
that the subject of life assurance companies is so pro-
minently before the public, it would be well for somo
member of Parliament to proposo the introduction of
a bill next session to compel the publication annually,
of a list of shareholders in all proprietary assurance
companies, similar to the officialßlue-book list of the
shareholders in joint - stock banks. As many

THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.

The Marquis of Hartington presided the other
night at the dinner of the Lismore Farming Society,
and spoke on the land question. - While carefully
disclaiming any intention of speatting for the Govern.
ment, the Postmaster-General advised tenant-
farmers to look at the question not only from thou
own point of view, but from that of landlords,
labourers, and the general public. Englishmen would
never consent to deprive, witliGut adequate compen-
sation, persons of rights legally acquired, which they
had not palpably misused. Tenant farmers shoat(
be prepared to shew how they propose to com-
pensate landlords, or guard their rights. Parliament
would not legislate on the question unless satisfied
that it would be for the advantage of labourers
as well as farmers, tn-ho should shew that
the legislation proposed would be as good for
labourers as themselves. It was to the public in-
terest that land should be most effectively cultivated
and farmers solvent ; and farmers should shew that
under the proposed legislation Ireland would be made
to produce as much as under the best system of agri-
culture. If farmers did not view the question thus,
they would find by bitter experience that Parliament
would be less disposed than ever to legislate for the
benefit of one class alone.

and great enthusiasm was manifested. He arrived at
St. John's at ono o'clock, and was received at the station
by Lieut. Governor Wilmot and staff, tho Corporation of
tho city, and various societies. Addresses of welcome were
made by the city authorities and the justices of the peace, to
which the Prince roturnod written replies. An immense
crowd was present at the station. The Prince was driven
round the city and then to the Waverley Hotel. In the even-
ing ho was escorted by a firemen's torchlight procession to

corated, a grand ball being in progress, at which 3,000
persons were present. The Prince is expected to arrive
in Quebec on Tuesday, the 14th inst., and will stay until
