man unknown.

The prisoner was seen by Harris, a police-constable,
with a surplice under his arm, and treating it in a very
irreverent manner, and if it had been au Ad coat, said the
constable, he could not have used it more roughly. He
was asked where he obtained it, to which he replied that
a gentleman in Brighton gave him the surplice, and he
intended to sell it to a High or Low clergyman of the
Church of England, or a Roman Catholic priest, when he
could obtain a customer.
Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if he could give any other
explanation of his possession of the surplice.
Prisoner said he could not. It was given to him at
Brighton a gentleman whose name and address he did
not know.
Mr. Paget—And you expnt mo to believe that ?
Prisoner— Yes, sir ; I do. (A laugh.)
An officer thought the surplice had been worn by a
Church of Ettgla.ld clergyman.
Another officer theuz,ht the surplice was a Ritualistic

one.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, was strongly of opinion
that the surplice belonged to a Roman Catholic priest.
Mr. NO was of the same opinion as }Oche, and that it
was very likely the surplice bad been stolen from the
vestry or sacristy of a Roman Catholic church. It was not
likely a priest of that communion would part with his sur-
plice to any onc.
He remanded the prisoner for a week•

The Eracycnl Cb e ver reports at great length a meeting of

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

The public business of Italy is once more suffering from
its chronic disease—the incurable laziness of the deputies
who are chosen to manage it. Whilst the weather is bad
the Italian Parliament is pretty well attended ;
but no sooner does the Southern sun put forth
its spring-time beams than the members of the
Chamber, who have a free pass over all the railways
in the kingdom, d;sperse in all directions, leaving public
affairs to look to themselves. Year after year the busi-
ness of the country is left undone, or half done, .for the
law requires that one more than half the entire number
of members must be present to form a quorum, and the
deputies will not attend. The names of the absentees are
posted in the Official Gazette, but this is no punishment,
for that great corrector and reformer, " public opinion," is
yet in its infancy in Italy.

TIIF: TRADE IN BEER.

" Gilpin Grains" writes a letter to the Telegraph
protesting against SirJ. Selwyn-Ibbetson's beerhouses
bill. " Gilpin Grains" is a brewer, and the owner of
a large number of beerhouses. He points
out that while everybody condemns magisterial
supervision of public-houses, it is propos4 to
extend it to beerhouses. The bill, he futilier
urges, is confinatory, interferes with the freedom
of the trade, and tends to produce a huge monoply.
It prevents a beerseller from selling his house with-
out the consent of a magistrate, and deprives him of
his property should he be unfortunate enough to be
fined for breaking the law. There can be no objec-
tion, this correspondent thinks, to a severe punish-
ment; but he protests against the house being closed
on account of the tenant's misconduct, as it would de-
prive the Man's family of all their wealth.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
WHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so ofton hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Mac-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
rot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1869.

The Opposition Deputies already elected number
only three more than in the last Corps Legislatif.
This—out of 290 elections. As many as fifty-nine
of those elections having been abortive, a fresh ballot

is necessitated. It is almost certain therefore that
several additional Opposition Deputies will, in conse-
quence, be returned. The advocates of responsible
Government are therefore 'clearly gaining strength,
are gradually winning their way at any rate to larger
importance within the walls of the Imperial Legisla-
ture, A betise, however, has in the thick of the elec-
tioneering contests been perpetrated by the fore-
most of all the leaders of the late Opposition.
M. TRIERS has blundered. Evidently he has been
ill advised. We sincerely regret this, but the fact
is undeniable. The suspicions of M. THIERS
having been aroused as to whether the ballot boxes,
or electoral urns, had been tampered with, the his-
torian of the Empire, on Saturday night, accompanied
by two persons, went at eleven o'clock, it appears, to
the Mairie of the Seventeenth Arrondissement, that
of the Eatignolles, and there demanded permission to
examine, for himself, the condition of these same
electoral urns or ballot boxes. The keenest scrutiny
was applied to the seals—without, however, the de-

tection of a single flaw. The sacred depositories of
the voting papers were found to be intact. The
self-appointed scrutineers one of them the
most illustrious of all the candidates of the
Opposition baffled in their search, in one
sense, even, disappointed in their expectations, with-
drew. I rpon the Place de la Makin a considerable
throng had—hearing of M, THIEP.S' visit—assembled
together. Hearing of what had occurred, no wonder
I that, on the following morning, the outraged because
the suspected Mayor of the arrondisament wrote
thus indignantly to the great author and statesman—
" I learn, sir," wrote M. BALAGNY, " that you called
at the Mairie of the Batignolles last night to examine
the room where the electoral urns were deposited.
Without raising any questions as to the ille-
gality of that visit, male in my absence, and
without previous notice, I way observe, with all the
.deference due to you, that your proceeding, besides
being unusual, has deeply wounded me, inazmush
as
it would imply that my delicacy or my attention

VELOCIPED E INSTITUTE.

Of course we can do nothing in England without
an institute, a society, or some kind of nucleus
for a " swarmery ' when the enthusiasm is
no longer, - repressible ; and so a Velocipede
Institute is to be established, from . which
rules, instructions, and encouragement in the
shape of prizes to good velocipedestrians nre to
issue.' But what is the Aeronautical Society about ?
Velocipedes, looked on at first with much the same
encouragement as flying machines, are now the
hobbies ,of the period. But the high-flyers are still
unpatronised, and one of their balloons has taken
itself out of control.

STERN JUSTICE.

Two criminals were lately brought before the
magistrates at Twickenham, charged with the heinous
crime of breaking a fence and stealing the broken
pieces. • The prisoners could not look over the dock,
for one of them was 6 years old, the other only 5.
The Rhadamanthi of the Thames neverthe'ess
condemned these desperate and hardened offenders
to a fine of 2s. each, or seven days' im-
prisonment. The parents, who were poor, pleadedfor time, but could obtain a respite only till the
evening, when they were told that if the money
were not forthcoming the Queen's warrant would be
issued for the committal of these wicked babies.
Eventually the money was paid. We should like to
know if these stern administrators of the law would
have dealt in the same manner with the infants of
one
of their collergues, had they been guilty of the
'sin of injuring General Peel's railings ? If not, is it
true that there is the same law for rich and poor ?

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
tailed the " Natural Strengt honer of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstances, 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.
Sold in bottles at is. 14-4., 2s. 93., and lls. each, in

THE RACE.

The colours of Mr. Savile on Neuchatel were the first
to shew in front, followed by the blues of Middle-
ham stable, the cherry jackets of Sir Joseph
Hawley, the green of The Drummer, and the blue and
gold braid of the ~.Egean, with Belladrnm and Tasman the
two last. Mr. 'terry's colt was never in it, and appeared
to be checked by the hill before he bad got to tha furzes—
a strange reversal of his Newmarket running ; while Pre-
tender was always in the van, closely attended by Pero
Gomez, The Drummer, Duke of Beaufort, Rupert, and
Ryshwortli. A scuffle occurred after they had come
round the corner on descending the hill, caused by the
Duke of Beaufort cannoning against Pero Gomez, and
knocking the latter out. of his stride. Wells had to set
him going again, and this had a material influence on the
final struggle, which was left to Pretender, Pero Gomez,
and The Drummer, with Rupert, Duke of Beaufort, and
Ryshworth well up. Pretender appeared to be tiring, and
Wells made a vigorous call on his horse, who, answering
most gamely, looked like catching his opponent at every
stride ; but he failedquite to get up, and was beaten, after
a most exciting finish, by a head. The Drummer was
third, and so close did the next two finish that the judge
was unable to place a fourth. But for the collision above
mentioned it is the general opinion (the Times says) that
Pero Gomez would have won.

HARD WORDS.

There has been a meeting of ultra Protestants at
the East End of London. There were no bones
broken, but there were a good many hard words.
The Pope and Mr. Gladstone had to act as " Aunt
Sally" while the amiable advocates of the pure faith
hurled their missiles. Mr. Gladstone was denounced
as" a traitor in the camp."-, This was stick number
one; but as Mr. Gladstone had never been in
the "camp," the missile fell wide of =the mark.
Then came another " shy :"—" False as he had been
to Protestantism, he had been still snore false to
himself. He had been turned out of Oxford and
South Lancashire, and was now a poor Greenwich
pensioner." This, too, was equally unsuccessful, for
as Mr. Gladstone did not vote against himself at Ox-
ford or in Lancashire, he can hardly be said to- have
been " false to himself" in " bemg turned out."
Then came the last attempt. Mr. Gladstone's policy
was "that of a ruined gambler, who, playing for high
stakes, was regardless what card he played." This
was witier of the mark than any. If Mr. Gladstone
is a gambler at all, " ruined " he certainly is not with
a majority of 113 .to back him. Another of the
speakers declared that should the present Govern-
ment again be in Opposition, it would bid for
place by an offer to disestablish and disendow
the Church of England. Of course after hearing
this prophecy the ultra-Protestants will do their
best to keep the present Government in office.

SIR EDMUND LACON.

Mr. O'Malley is a very injudicious friend. In de-
fending Sir Edmund Lacon during the recent election
petition, the learned gentleman referred to former
elections at Great Yarmouth, and said that the hon.
baronet had never done anything of which he need
be ashamed. Perhaps not, for Sir Edmund is used
to that style of thing ; but other gentlemen
would certainly chew some emotion after
the disclosures which led to the disfranchisement
of the bloater capital. Mr. Justice Blackburn, at
all events, has a very strong opinion on the subject,
and declared that " he could not regard the acts com-
mitted by Sir E. Lacon at Yarmouth elections as
otherwise than disgraceful." There are some victories
worse than defeats, and all the world, except perhaps
Mr. O'Malley and Sir Edmund Lacon, will think that
the victory of the sitting members for North Norfolk
is one of them.

ON A NEW PRINCIPLE.

The Owl' pen is suitable for line writing, and glides
over the paper in the most easy and graceful manner.
This is par excellence the lady's pen. The Pickwick,'
from its flexibility, is well adapted for business purposes.
The Waverley 'is sure to become a favourite ; its flexi
hi.itv is so great that it will entirely supersede tie. use of
quills, and to professional men will he invaluable. The

THE ROAD.

There was the fun of the road this year, but it was not so
smart as usual. About it it is not easy to say much that is at
once novel and varied. Yet the drive down to the Derby
is one of those few events in life which never quite
lose their charm by repetition. Every year the sub-
urban journey, through miles upon miles of streets,
grows longer and longer; and in this present
year of grace, Epsom-bound wayfarers made acquaintance
with a bran new Ixanspontine district of Battersea beyond
the bridges. To any one acquainted with French race-
courses, the half-world contingents of our Derby Day
appear of a very meagre order ; while equipages like those
which carry the female celebrities of Paris down to the
"Courses," are happily unknown in England.
Some statistician would do service by making a
calculation as to the quantity of gallons, casks,
and hogsheads of beer consumed on the road
to Epsom. There must be, on the average, a public-house
for every couple of hundred yards between London and
the Downs; and every public-house was crowded with
thirsty customers. But this year's Derby was not an
exceptionally drunken one. Correspondents say that
neither in going on returning did they see many sympt-)ms
of undue indulgence in the beverages that may possibly
cheer, but assuredly inebriate. A few early topers lay
stretched along the footpaths, sleeping the sleep of the just,
heedless who lost or who won ; but the real mass of
the holiday folk were perfectly sober and well-behaved.
As to the coarseness and brutality of the crowd of holiday
makers, there is not much wit, perhaps, in putting on
pasteboard noses of brilliant red and wearing straw-fibre
bonnets, and singing " Immensikoff " at the pitch of your
nice to the music of a cracked bugle ; but these amuse-
ments are harmless to everybody except the performer,
and they constituted the worst outrages against good taste
which one saw exhibited by any of the much-abused million.
On the whole, too, the road was rather dull this year. The
bicycles long looked for did not turn up. The riders
probably left them at home.

THE WEATHER.

The weather is generally the first thing described. It
was simply beautiful. During the afternoon it was so
entirely unexceptional, that if one could place the
slightest reliance upon the prating of those pulmonic
meteorologists, who try to persuade us that our
climate is all fogs and east winds, we most have sup-
posed that the scene of the afternoon's amusement
was some "balmy region of the south," where suns are
ever bright and winds are ever soft. This, however, was
only after noon. If an English May day is often worse
than its word, it is sometimes better than its promise ;
and so it was on Wednesday. The morning was dull and
chilly, not to say gloomy and cold. The clouds gradually
dispersed, however, the wind moderated and left people to
enjoy themselves thoroughly and without auy discomfort.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Purls is about at par. and
tue short exchange on London is 25f. 2710. per .E 1 sterling
On comparing these rates with the English fiat price of
3 tea. 105 d. per ounce for standard gold. it appears that
gold at the above price is of hither TS.lne in London than
iu Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 6o

days' sight was ou the 17111 inst. about iO9; per cent. At this Tat
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

THE DERBY.

The ninetieth Derby will be known for its pleasant-
ness. Dark races there have been ; a cold Wednesday,
with falls of snow, there has been ; ruinous—desperately
ruinous—days there have been ; but no great plunging,
no great cold, no great heat, no serious accidents are
known to have marked the Derby of 1869. Royalty
attended—the Princess of Wales for the first time ; lords
were there in plenty ; members of the House of Commons,
the professional, the merchant, the tradesman, the-beggar,
and the thief, all these were, as usual, represented, and
the day passed off very jollily indeed.

THE ABOLITION OF PATENT LAWS.

The Patent Laws are one continual worry. The
public would not be unjust to an inventor, would not
get cheapness by allowing any one to step in and use
the time, brains, and money of another in the pro-
duction of commodities. And yet it can hardly protect
one inventor without injuring his fellow discoverers.
It was thought the question was virtually settled
when a high price was put on the acquire-
ment of a patent. But this has rather increased
the anomaly than otherwise, for poor men
can rarely get the benefit of an invention. Reformers
seem to have been disgusted with the matter
altogether, and propose free trade. But inventors
already protected are much opposed to this course.
Mr. Macfie is to move a resolution abolishing mono-
poly altogether. Members of the Inventors' Institute
and others have waited upon the Attorney-General
urging their objections to this motion; and Sir
Robert Collier told them that, though he could not
speak on behalf of the Government, he was,
personally, against making an invention of one man
the property of the public.

TILE START.

When the time came fur saddling and starting, from 1
the little meadow, with its Avail of may-blossom and che3t• •
nut spikes, one could see the vast crowd splitting intJ two
sections, divided by the long green fillet of the course, 1
and the people settling down upon the mountainous pile
of the. Grand Stand, like black snow upon a hill-top. Now
the clothing was drawn from the sirining backs of the

rq.ilne champions; the little saddles were clapped into their
pace and tightly Birthed clown, and one by one the little
cv.zeted men and stunted lads, who had bees walking about
w th gaily-coloured caps, likeperipatetic flower-buds, broke
au', all of a sudden into full-blown jockeys. It must be
confessed that racing is wonderfully pretty. The bright
[o'-ours of the riders and the satin sheen of their horses,
tit up by such a sunshine as on Wednesday made the scene
radiant, go charmingly together; and when the saddles
were all filled, the nineteen or twenty in the Paddock made
4 beautiful squadron of holiday cavalry. At the starting
point were by-and-by gathered one by one the gay specks
of silk, which go dancing past the Stand; and, seen
through the glass, the group appears like one of
those peep-shows of flower-leaves which schoolboys
make with glass and paper. And now the prodigious
concourse—which Was so noisy and mobile—is suddenly
hushed ; those that can see the flag drop are intent, and
those that cannot see it catch the spirit of intense atten-
tion from the faces of the others. The three minutes to
which all the preparation of the day conducts this swarm
of human creatures, at which it culminates, and from
which it has its charm and popular vitality, have arrived.
Nobody does anything but look hard towards the little
flag in front of the group of flower-leaves. The gipsy woman
breaks off her prophecy in the middle, the proprietor of
Aunt Sally ceases to invite her demolition, the acrobat has
come down from his stilts, the chicken-liver is suspended
midway between the plate and the mouth, the champagne
glass is put down half drained. " They're off r' goes
through the multitude like a wind more than a voice.
No Drummer and ugly Rupert, and a horse with blue
and gold colours, have gone away; but the attempt is
false, and they are recalled. Once more they
marshal themselves in a gay cloud, and the flag
falls to an excellent start. This time they are really
off ; the impetuous Drummer again in the front, and
the two cracks lying in the rear, with Martyrdom's
sky blue glittering behind all. As the horses get fairly
away, and the course of the race leads them from the right
to the left of the Downs, the most curious of all the won-
derful effects of the Derby Day is to be seen. The faces
of the gathered multitude all flash round from one side to
the Other, making a pale gleam run along the surface of
the Grand Stand, and light up the farther border of the
Course. It is as if an immense avenue of aspen trees was
agitated by the wind, and displayed at one instant all the
white underside of their foliage.

ABORIGINAL OVENS.

This highly-important subject was discussed at the
last meeting of the Anthropophagal. we as'c pardon,
the Anthropological Society. Sir Charles Nicholson
contributed -a paper to spew how the ancient abori-
gines of Australia made their ovens, and he proved
a good deal of culinary skill on their part. Clearly
Sydney Smith's joke about "cold boiled missionary
on the sideboard" was very wide of the mark. With
such ovens as those just referred to the aborigines
were not at all likely to put up with cold meat.
