lADVEIMSEMENT. 1— Holloway's Olutment and Pills.--
Healing not Harmful. —No application has met with the sat. •
universal approbation for curing all external ailments as th t
which this unguent has received. Sores, deep ulcers, fetid dig i
charges, burns, blistered surfaces, and many similar affectio ii
are at once soothed and put on the road to soundness by Hollo-
way's ointment. With his ointment and pills the wealthy may
save themselves much suffering, and the poor may help them-
selves to health, since these medicaments are reasonable in
price, and can be purchased in every hamlet. They have effected
cures of stiff, swelled legs, and lacerated limbs, and opened out
the prospect of a happy future after hope of recovery had been
given up.

THE DEANERY OF ELY.

The Rev. Charles Merivale, 8.D., has been offered
the vacant deanery of Ely. This clergyman was
formerly Fellow and Tutor of St. Johurs College,
Cambridge, honorary D.C.L. of Oxford, and Chaplain
to the House of Commons. The appointment (says
the Times) is calculated to give great satisfaction to
the residents of the University, among whom Dr.
Merivale long held a distinguished place.

ECONOMY.

Mr. Commissioner Winslow has come athwart the
extreme economical policy of Mr. Lowe. The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer has taken possession of the
fund from which the expenses of prosecutions in
bankruptcy were formerly paid. qmceforth creditors
who wish to prosecute a fraudulent debtor
must do it at their own expense. Mr.
Commissioner Winslov.- does not hesitate to stigmatise
the conduct of Mr. Lowe as monstrous. The credi-
tors have for many years paid large foes to the court
in order to create this fund, and now that it is in
existence, and a considerable amount has accumulated,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer Steps in and seizes
the whole. In short, whilst justice is suffering
because so many prosecutions of different kinds aro
left to the discretion of private persons—who, of
course, will seldom bear the cost--Mr. Lowe aggra-
. Yates the grievance by throwing still more public
duties upon individuals.

SLAVERY.

A. MinisteriaLprotest against slavery has been made
in the Spanish Cortes. On Saturday Minister Becarra
promised that a new Constitution should be brought
forward for th 9 Spanish. West India island of Porto
(;)
Rico. In so pledging himself, Senor Becarra declared
serYroust he abolished, but gradually, and
with
indemnification the slave-holders. The
deputies
Porto Rico—for the Spanish colonies
.
are represented the Madrid Parliament—likewise
expressed the opinion that slavery must fall.

FOREIGN NOTES.

DILIiATIA.

The Wanderer, of 'Vienna, has reason toiTelreve that the
Austrian Government is desirous of entering into negotia-
tions with the Dalmatian insurgents in order to put an
end to the insurrection Deputy Vojnoire has been
received by the Archduke Carl Ludwig, on which occasion
he implored the publication of an amnesty and a respite for
the condemned insurgents. If this request be granted it
will be a satisfactory proof that the idea of a compromise
is entertained. Such a course is recommended by the
Government as its wisest policy, for even if the rebellious
districts were wasted with fire and sword the land would
still be anything but pacified and tranquil.

WIIITBY.

The nomination for Whitby takes place to-day
Major W. C. Worsley, although ho has done com-
paratively little electioneering work, perseveres with
his intention to combat Mr. W. 11. Gladstone. The
last meeting held by the candidate for re-election
was a large one, and was addressed by Liberals of
very various classes—a county proprietor, a Middles-
borough merchant, a working man, and Mr. Glad-
stone himself. The latter expressed his confidence
in his re-election. IN promised to take care
of fishing interests. With regard to the Greenwich
sixpence he had the satisfaction of saying that
Government were about to settle the matter. The
Bo

..,ard of Trade had issued a form, for which applica-
_on should be made at once. Those who had paid
nto the fund for the longest period would have the
priority of claim.

IRISII ELECTIONS.

The not very smooth waters of Irish politics are
now troubled by two elections. The writs have been
issued for the county of Tipperary and the borough
of Waterford. Mr. Heron is the moderate Liberal
candidate for Tipperary,• as Irish moderates go—
if a candidate can be so called who denounces the
"iniquitous" land laws, declares that all prisoners
ought to be released, and tacitly offers himself as
counsel for any future political offenders. Though
Mr. Heron does all this he finds no favour in the eyes
of extreme men ; he would take office if he had the
chance under the present Government, and is there-
fore to be opposed by a real red. Mr. Bernal Osborne
has until now been looked upon as the popular
candidate at Waterford ; but the tide of favour el
the populace seems to have turned against him, and
his last meeting was so noisy that he could
not say one word. Ills ready wit and good
humour did not forsake him, however, nor
did his courage. lle stood his ground notwithstanding
that a bottle was thrown at him, which very
narrowly missed his head ; and when told by ono of
the voters that it was a pistol shot, replied :—"IVill
you do as it has done, then—go off!" The Irishman
suo,YPcests O'Donovan Rossa, who is one of the Fenian
prisoners, as a candidate for Tipperary, and a very
fiery placard has been posted recommending him.
With respect to the vacancy created at Mallow by
the acceptance of the Mastership of the Rolls by Mr.
Sullivan, it may be stated that the Cork and Limerick
Farmers' Club have passed a resolution expressing a
desire to see Mr. Byrne, the chairman of the Mallow
Club, returned.

VISCOUNT CANTERBURY.
Th, peer whose death we yesterday announced was
but little know to the general public. He was
descended from Dr. Manners-Sutton, at one time Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, but made no mark in public
life. His successor is a very different man, though
even ho has so long resided abroad that he will hardly
be remembered. Yet Sir John H. T. Manners-Sutton
was a member of the House of Commons from 1841
to 1847, and during a large portion of that time held
the post of tinder-Secretary to the Home Department
in Sir R. Peers Administration. In 1854 he was
appointed Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick.
From thence he was removed in October 18111. In
1864 he became Governor of Trinidad, and went from
there to be Governor of Victoria in 1866. Whether
he will continue to fulfil his high duties, or will
return to add to the colonial powers of the House of
Lords, remains to be seen.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILD RE N
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 oven 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.

On the 2nd. of November the Virginia State Fair was
opened for the first time since the war. A telgram was
received from President Grant regretting that his engage-
ments prevented his attendance. W. Sutherlin, President,
delivered an address, in which he welcomed visitors
from other States, and said that Virginia needed
an addition to her population and capital to
develop her resources, and it was to be hoped that these
fairs would be the means of attracting both. Many
visitors from Northern States were present, and the 'United
States Commissioner of Agriculture was expected. The
mineral and cattle departments exceeded those of the last
fair held nine years ago. The public offices, schools,
and banks were closed on the 4th, and the citizens
generally adjourned to the fair grounds. The
weather was delightful, and everything seemed to
contribute towards rendering the exhibition a complete
success. The railroad companies lent their aid to further
the enterprise, and a feeling of cordiality seemed to pervade
every department. The representatives were eminently
creditable to the agricultural, mercantile, and domestic
departments of " Old Virginia." Distinguished states-
men and agriculturists from other states were received
with satisfactory demonstrations of fraternal regard.

TUE ADMINISTRATION OF TRH PIINJAII.

Indian journals give currency to a report that compre-
hensive changes are in contemplation in the adminis-
tration of the Punjab. It is suggested that, by transferring
the military functions of the Punjab Government
to the War Department of the Government of India,
the whole of the money now spent upon the Punjab
secretarial would be concentrated on the civil work. if the
Punjab were divested of its military functions, a strong
civilian administration would be needed, and it is proposed
that Sir Richard Temple should be the next Lieutenant-
Governor. llis removal from the head of the Finance
Department would certainly nct be matter for regret.

THE COTTON IT.:-CDS BILL.

The Legislative Council at Bombay has been occu-
ed (f late in the discussion of a Cotton Frauds
Bill. The object of this measure is to prevent the
adulteration of Indian cotton, and to suppress more effec-
tually the frauds committed in the trade. It was to have
been read a third time and passed at the beginning of
October, but the third reading was deferred until the 21st
October, cut of deference to the very strong opposition
against it both in and out of the Council. The Bombay
Chamber of Commerce held a stormy meeting against it, and
the Bombay Association and the native merchants made
strong protests. As amendments had bccn introduced
into the measure removing many of the objections made
to it, it was filially passed on Thursday, the 21st of
October, after a six hours' debate.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S- CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain

" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
mrostances, and thousands of persons can now boar 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 ls. 2c. 9d., and lls. each, in

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
Norton's Camomile Pills."

CHINESE SUPERSTITION.

The whole tribe of Chinese officials at Canton assembled
one evening at the end of September, in the Temple of
Confucius, for the purpose of praying in the name of the
Emperor—a time-honoured custom which they observe
twice a year. While they were thus engaged they were
startled by the fall of part of the inner wall, against which
a large crowd of spectators were leaning. Many persons
were seriously injured, though no deaths are reported.
The Chinese arc seriously uneasy at what they esteem to
be a bad omen. When the top of the old Pagoda came
down, in August 1856, some national disaster was foretold,
and a months or two later the Arrow imbroglio occurred,
so that they are now on the look out for some special

disaster.

AN ISTHMUS CANAL.

The scheme for excavating a canal across the Isthmus
of Panama and Darien, has lately occupied a good deal of
attention in Central America. The latest news from
Panama states that the Legislative Assembly had
passed resolutions in favour of the scheme and
were anxious to obtain a reconsideration of the treaty
negotiated at Bogota between the Governments of the
United States and Columbia. The inhabitants of Panama
view with alarm the project for making a canal across the
territory of Nicaragua, and believe that if further delays are
suffered to occur, the capitalists, who are anxious for an
interoceanic canal, will turn their attention to the
Nicaragua route.

THE LATE MR. PEABODY.

On the morning of Friday week the remains of the
late Mr. Peabody will be received at Portsmouth, to
be conveyed to Portland, in the State of Maine.
For this duty her Majesty's ship Monarch, a
turret-ship of the most recent construction, and
probably the most powerful vessel in her Majesty's
navy, has been selected. She is under the
command of Captain Commend!, V.C. and C.B.
When this arrangement was communicated to the
Government of the United States, Mr. Motley re-
ceived in reply a telegram announcing that the Prei-
dent will order an American vessel of war, if it can
reach E: gland in time, to act as a convoy to the
Monarch on her mission to the United States.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A STRANGE FANCY.—Mr. Albert Broagham Kenrick,
gentleman, of No. 89, Winchester-street, Pimlico, was
charged before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk and as-
saulting John Shackleton!, porter at a wine and supper
rooms, No. 226, Piccadilly.
The complainant said that, while at his employer's last
night, the defendant accused a lady of stealing a feather
out of his hat, and he we:A oat to charge her. On being
refused re-admission, as he was drunk, he tore his coat
and struck him.

The defendant said his feather was taken from his hat
by a female, and he went for a constable, as she refused to
give it up, and on teturniug he was not allowed to go into
the place, and was struck by the complainant, and he re-
turned the blow.

Claricoat, 26 C R, produced a rod feather, and said that
the defendant, who was drunk, said ho had purchased it in
the Burlington Arcade that day for 2s.

Mr. Mansfield said that nothing was more likely than
that females frequenting the neighbourhood of the Hay-
market, seeing a man walking about with such an extra-
ordinary feather in his hat, should take it, if only for a
jcke. The defendant would have to pay ss.
BEGINNING EARLY. - Joseph ilislop, in the employ of
Mr. Ansel!, butcher, 19, Lumber-court, Seven Dials, was
charged before Mr. Mausfield with stauliug some meat,
the property of his employer, and Susan Murray was
charged with receiving the same.

Evidence having boon given by Sergeant K illoy of the E
division detectives, and Mr. Ausull, who said that Ilislop
had only boon in his employ three weeks, anti had Us. a
week, besides board and lodging and other advantages,
Mr. Mansfield committed Ilislop for throe months with
hard labour, and discharged Murray with a caution.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1869:

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

rsvour or a diocesan comerence or some

kind. Before such a conference is held,
however, the right reverend prelate thinks that the
opinion of the laity ought to be taken. "At the pre-
sent time, and as at present informed of the feelings
of the diocese upon the subject, I am not prepared to
assemble a diocesan conference, but I will endeavour at
as early an opportunity as may be given me, and as
effectually as I can, to ascertain the opinion of the laity
upon the question."

We learn from Bombay that while H.M.S. Forte was
cruising about near Cape Guardefui in quest of slave
dhows, she went aground, and sustained considerable
damage, a great part of her keel being torn away. The
shore in that part is very irregular, and though the water
is deep, care is necessary on account of the strong
currents. The slavers find a convenient refuge in the
bays on the coast, and it is supposed that Sir Leopold
Heath was examining them more closely than was prudent
when the disaster took place. The ship will go to Bombay
for repairs.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
t le short exchange on London is 251. 151. per £1 sterling._
Un Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
lis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer.in Paris than in
London

CHRISTI MINSTRELSY.—The songs of the Christy
Minstrels, who for the last three or four years Lave at-
tracted such crowds to St. James's have all been
collected and published in a complete form by Messrs.
Hopwood and (hew, of New Bond-street. Such a work
cannot but be regarded with the greatest interest, con-
sidering that most of the ditties have now become house-
hold strains with us, and the opportunity of possessing the
entire collection will doubtless be highly acceptable. An
additional charm has been given to those melodies by ➢lr.
Hobson, the talented composer, who has " transposed"
number of them as pianoforte pieces, and a prettier or more
delightful arrangement of them could not be desired.
They form very attractive drawing-room pieces for pro
ficionts, and their performance not being difficult they will
no doubt becorn groat favourites.

seats. Each member of the Cabinet has departed to

Il0LBOI?N THEATRE

The taste and care with which Mr. Barry Sulli-
van has revived Lord Lytton's "Lady of Lyons"
is another proof that the manager intends to adhere
strictly to the promise given at the commencement
of his campaign. The " Lady of Lyons," as now
performed at the Holborn, is certainly a model play.
Every detail has bun carefully considered through-
out the five acts ; not a single puiut has been over-
looked, and the result is particularly gratifying.
M.r. B. Sullivan's Claude is a masterly performance,
and one that cannot but heighten the estimation in
which he is held by the admirers of the true dra-
matic genius. Mrs. Vez:n's Pauline is also a
remarkably fine performance, and the other
parts are, without exception, all most excellently
supported. A stranger entering the theatre might
suppose, from the enthusiasm with which the play
is received, that it was a novelty, and such a cir-
cumstance cannot but be intensely gratifying to the
enterprising manager, who has had the taste and
sound judgment to rely on the performance of pieces
of known higL-class merit, rather than the sensa-
tional nonsense, which in some cases have displaced
pieces of acknowledged genius and merit. The high
patronage and the crowded houses that have been,
and are still being, attracted to the Holborn are in
every way richly deserved.
