THE BELGIAN RAILWAY AFFAIR.

The French Ministers are doing their best to gild the pill of
cone ession which M. Fr6re-Orban is to swallow. On Monday
he dined with M. de Lavalette, and after dinner, says the
Indepenclance Beige, the affairs of the two nations were dis-
cussed at great length. What was done on this occasion does
not transpire, but it is quite clear that the progress made
was not great. On Tuesday there was another dinner,
and more talk at M. Rouher's. On Wednesday M.
Frdre-Orban and M. Rouher lid another interview,
which must have taken place before dinner, seeing that
some business was done. The French Government, we
are informed, indicates its wishes without bringing them
to any formal proposition. The initiative of settle-
ment is left to the Belgian Cabinet. But the French
Minister of State did not fail to again put forth the
treaties with the railway companies as an essential part
of the solution. So far from the leasing of Belgian lines to
French companies being disadvantageous to the interests of
Belgium, M. Rouher held that the issue would be quite the
reverse. M. Frere-Orban brought arguments against this
theory. M. Rouher very courteously, but very energeti-
cally, combatted these arguments, The question stands
precisely where it did. The Belgian Legislature has
given King Leopold's Ministry the power to veto any,he
lease of a Belgian railway to foreign companies. The
French Government insists that in the case of the Luxem-
bourg Railway the veto shall not be exercised. The mixed
commission is not constituted, nor is it likely to be at
present. Before the commission is nominated the Govern-
ments must determine what business is to be laid before it.

GERMANY.

A very significant vote has just been taken in the
Bavarian Chamber of Deputies at Munich. The Govern.
ment recently brought in a Money Bill, for the purpose
of raising nearly half a million sterling to be
devoted as an extraordinary credit to military purposes.
The bill was submitted to a commission which
recommended that instead of half a million the Chamber
should vote less than one-fourth that sum. The Chamber
has taken the advice, and has, by a vote of 63 to 52,
declared £llO,OOO to be enough for extraordinary military
purposes. The Bavarians are not disposed to have their
country transformed into a military camp.

AN APT SCITOLAIL.

Well done Serjeant Sleigh ! A very few years
ago he was an advanced Liberal, and used to
diversify his Old Bailey business with occasional
excursions to Liberal constituencies in want of a can-
didate. No man was more proficient than he in the
whole creed of Liberalism. He had it at his fingers'
ends, could roll it off his tongue as glibly as though
he had been at politics all his life. BM for some
reason or other the constituencies did not want Mr.
Sleigh. They were fitly punished by loss of office,
and. the Conservatives believing in the enterprising ad-
vocate, he offered them faithful service, and fought two
battles for them with signal ill success. Now that the
Liberals are back again at Downing-street, it might
have been expected that Mr. Sleigh would have re-
sumed his first principles. But the Conservatives were
wise in their generation, they made Mr. Sleigh a
serjeant: and thus established some sort of claim
upon this erratic politician. He has now just been
down to Huddersfield (one of the boroughs he
vainly tried to represent), and has made
a speech of the true Constitutional kind. There
was Maynooth, and the Constitution, and the
Monarchy (in capital letters), and much talk about
pillars and bulwarks of the English Throne, and
martyrs and streams of blood, and a quotation from
" King John " by way of conclusion. In fact, the
Serjeant, had got up his brief thoroughly, with..one
exception. He referred to Shakespere as the great
bard of 200 years ago." No doubt this was a poetical
license. The Serjeant thought that it was a delicate
flattery of a "pious and immortal memory " to
make the greatest of English poets a contemporary
of Dutch William.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

AN EXPERIENCED FORGER,

At the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday, a young
man, giving the name of William Walker, was sentenced to
seven years' penal servitude by Mr. Justice Brett, lot
uttering a forged cheque for OK 10s. on the 18th ult, at
the bank of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., Lombard.
street. On the 17th of March the prisoner obtained posses.
sion of the cheque and pass-books of Messrs. Newman, Son,
and Co., cigar importers, by means of a forged order ; and
on the following morning he presented at the bank the
cheque in question, which was taken from the lost book.
He was given into custody, and there was found upon him
the forged cheque 'from the same book, and in the
same name, for £76105. His memoranda book contained
entries referring to the accounts of other firms, and ho
bad in his possession a number of forged orders, addressed
to Messrs. Barnett's and the Imperial Bank, for the
cheque-books of several other persons well known in the
City. He refused to give his real name or
address, and the cheque-book, containing 240 forms, had
not been recovered. It was evident from the notes in his
pocket-book that he was prepared to enter upon an ex-
tensive system of swindling. Evidence was given to chew
that he was a few years ago in business as a grocer ; but
be had been convicted of forgery at Birmingham in the

BATTLE IN MEXICO.

The army of Juarez has narrowly escaped a destructive
defeat by a rebel force, headed by General Negrete.
Colonel Malo, a Mexican officer, had joined this insurgent
chief, and the forces of the two amounted to 4,000 men,
all well armed. Battle was joined with the Government
troops in the State of Puebla, about 100 miles distant
from the city of Mexico. For some time the conflict went
decidedly in favour of the rebels. Colonel Malo's men
fought for their lives, and in some charges the Government
troops were decidedly worsted. But at the turning
point of the engagement some of Negrete's men, actuated
by an unaccountable purpose, suddenly went over to the
side of their foes, and turned their arms against their
former comrades. The deserters numbered only a few
hundred men, but their defection created great confusion
along Negrete's whole line, and at this moment Malo was
himself killed. The rebel army was routed and completely
destroyed. The object of this insurrection was to capture
p. sum of three million dollars in cash, and with this spoil
to set up an independent government. But though Negrete
has come to grief, risings constantly take place in every
part of the gauntry.

REAL CHARITY.—A few days since there was
paid in to the tankers to the Metropolitan Free Hospital,
Devonshire-square, under the initials " E. G.," a donation
of "one thousand pounds" to that institution.

A DITETTSEMENT.I—EioIIomy's pills are decidedly the
best remedy for all disorders of the stomach and bowels,
the liver, and kidneys. They act with so decided an
effect, and yet so gently, that people of the most delicate
constitutions may take them with the most perfect con-
fidence. They do not contain a single grain of mercury
or other noxious substance, being composed exclusively of
rare balsams. They are therefore equally safe and effi-
cacious, and, as a family medicine, nothing yet invented
or discovered can be compared with them for a moment.
With these inestimable pills at hand, together with the
printed directions affixed to each box, no other medical
advice or assistance can be needed in any ordinary case of
sickness.

THE UNITED STATES.

It is expected that the great railroad across the North
American continent will be opened throughout during the
summer. The work is carried on eastward and westward
with great rapidity, the Central Pacific line from the
west meeting the Union Pacific from the east. On
the Ist of January the Union Pacific Railway had
constructed its line westward from Omaha, Nebraska,
055 miles ; and the Central Pacific Railway had
built its line eastward 445 miles from Sacramento, Cali-
fornia. This left between the termini of the lines a gap
of 319 miles yet to be built. On the 24th of March, how-
ever, the Union Pacific Railway had extended its road
35 miles further westward, and the Central Pacific Rail-
way was built 152 miles further eastward. This leaves
only 82 miles to complete the most stupendous railway
project in, the world.

THE SPANISH THRONE.

It is officially announced that Dom Fernando has finally
refused to accept the Spanish Crown upon any terms
whatever. The proiect of a commission which was to set
out for Lisbon in order to ]ay this dangerous present before
the Portuguese prince has been abandoned. Had the com-
missioners started they might possibly have met with a
"warm" reception. The Portuguese were much opposed
to Dom Fernando becoming King of Spain. They appre-
hended, not without reason, that an Iberian Union would
be the inevitable result; and the idea of Portugal thus
becoming a Spanish province is most repugnant to them.
The excitement, in fact, was so great that the commis-
sioners would have been in great danger of ill-treatment.
What the Spanish Ministry will do now is a most impor-
tant question. The Independance Belge says that Prim
and his colleagues persuaded Serrano and Topete
to consent to this offer of the crown to Dorn
Fernando, but Prim's party seemed unwilling
to promise that if the Portuguese prince refused
Montpensier should become King. Another hypothesis
put forth by some authorities deserves attention. It is
affirmed that this offer has been made to Dora Fernando,
;a the certainty that he would refuse, in order that the
Duke of Montpensier might be the more readily accepted.

BATTLE IN MEXICO.

The army of Juarez has narrowly escaped a destructive
defeat by a rebel force, headed by General Negrets.
Colonel Malo, a Mexican officer, had joined this insurgent
chief, and the forces of the two amounted to 4,000 men,
all well armed. Battle was joined with the Government
troops in the State of Puebla, about 100 miles distant
from the city of Mexico. For some time the conflict went
decidedly in favour of the rebels. Colonel Malo's men
fought for their lives, and in some charges the Government
troops were decidedly worsted. But at the turning
point of the engagement some of Negrete's men, actuated
by an unaccountable purpose, suddenly went over to the
side of their foes, and turned their arms against their
former comrades. The deserters numbered only a few
hundred men, but their defection created great confusion
along Negrete'a whole line, and at this moment Malo was
himself killed. The rebel army was routed and completely
destroyed. The object of this insurrection was to capture
a sum of three million dollars in cash, and with this spoil
to set up an independent government. But though Negrete
has come to grief, risings constantly take place in every
part of the country.

REAL CITARITT.—A few days since there was
paid in to the bankers to the Metropolitan Free Hospital,
Devonshire-square, under the initials " E. G.," a donation
of "one thousand pounds" to that institution.
A DVERTISEMENT.I-- golloway's pills are decidedly the
best remedy for all disorders of the stomach and bowels,
the liver, and kidneys. They act with so decided an
effect, and yet so gently, that people of the most delicate
constitutions may take them with the most perfect con-
fidence. They do not contain a single grain of mercury
or other noxious substance, being composed exclusively of
rare baliams. They are therefore equally safe and effi-
cacious, and, as a family medicine, nothing yet invented
or discovered can be compared with them for a moment.
With these inestimable pills at hand, together with the
printed directions affixed to each box, no other medical
advice or assistance can be needed in any ordinary case of
sickness,

T _AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
1.11 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 revokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoci.-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT TO UPSET 4
PASSENGER TRAIN.

- .
An atrocious attempt to destroy life has been made by
some miscreant upon the London and South-Western
Railway, in the vicinity of Clapham Junction. An engine-
driver in the employ of the company left the Feltham
Station at 7.15 with an engine and tender for Waterloo, in
order to bring out the eight o'clock down train for Windsor.
He was running his engine tender foremost, and upon pass-
ing Clapham Junction he pulled up, as the signals were
on on both the boxes. He started afresh, and to the cir-
cumstance of his having been obliged to stop is pro-
bably due his preservation from death, for while going
between the Clapham Junction and West London signal
boxes, his locomotive ran over a heavy sleeper which
someone had placed across the metals. So violent was the
shock that the guards of the tender were knocked away,
although the engine remained on the metals. Lawrence
ordered his fireman to see what was the matter, as it was
extremely dark at the time. The fireman accordingly
descended from the engine tender, and upon going back
discovered the sleeper, which had been split by the
violence of the collision. Taking the sleeper, as no
more were then to be found upon the line, he ran his
engine on to Nine Elms, and gave information to the
police. About seven minutes after Lawrence had driven
his engine from the spot where it had met the sleeper, the
7.15 p.m. train from Kingston ran up to the same
place, the engine crashing into four or five more sleepers,
which must have been placed upon the line directly Law-
rence had taken his engine away. In this case also the
engine very providentially did not quit the rails. The
spot is close to an embankment some twenty feet high,
and had the locomotive gone over, it would probably have
carried with it several out of the twelve or fourteen car-
riages of, the train, which was occupied by a number of
passengers. The company is taking active measures to
discover the perpetrator of this deed, and it is said
that suspicion already points to a recently-discharged
employs.

THE PALACE AT 'WESTMINSTER.

The discovery of the entire unsuitability of the
present House of Commons is raising discussion
in several directions. First, as to the matter itself, is
the present House large enough ? If not, how should
a new House be constructed ? The first question
may by no means be considered as settled. The
House of Commons is large enough to hold all its
members, but it does not give every one a speaking
place. Is it advisable or needful that this should be
given ? The House is full to overflowing only on
certain great days. The number of speakers is then
few, and they can easily be heard in the galleries.
Even if it is advisable to have more room on the
floor, more room can be obtained by a rearrange-
ment of the House. Such are the arguments
against change. But the members themselves,
the old ones especially, find the present state
intolerable. How can the nation expect its legisla-
tors to do justice if they are being worried night
after night by such petty things as not finding a
seat ?
The moral of the matter is given by "An Archi-
tect," in the Times. In building the Houses of
Parliament, he says, a national monument was
required. A demand was made for the duke rather
than the utile. We have the former, and the Palace
at Westminster will descend to all time as a memorial
of the present age. But we have not got what was
really wanted after all. Let us take warning, then,
from the present failure, and in our law courts look
rather to the useful than to mere wsthetics.

FOREIGN NOTES.,

REPUBLICAN MOVEMENTS IN ITALY.

The Florence correspondent of the Herald confirms in
every particular the information given by our Rome cor.
respondent respecting Republican agitation in Italy.
The 19th of March, St. Joseph's day, sacred to the patron
saint of both Garibaldi and Mazzini, passed off quietly,
because the authorities took special precautions ; but it is
not the less certain that the party of action has for some
time been making preparations for a general outbreak at
the first propitious moment. The committees correspond-
ing with the Mazzinians centred at Lugano are busily
working in every direction. But the hope of success
seems small indeed. The facts brought to light at
Piacenza, at Faenza, at Ravenna, and, more recently still,
at Naples, on a still larger scale, have placed some of the
principal threads of this complicated web in the hands of
the police. These are not likely to be taken by surprise.
London, England, 1869-04-09

EXCITED ORANGE3IEN.

The Hanover-square Rooms have for some months
past resounded once a fortnight with the eloquence
of Mr. Edward Harper, " Grand Master of the
Orange Institution of Oreat Britain." Hitherto
no influential journal has thought these meetings
worth notice, but the Times, by way of sheaving
what an Orange meeting is like, has
given a report of the last of these
gatherings. Mr. Harper wore an Orange
sash, so did many other persons present. There
were plentiful allusions to " the pious and immortal
memory" of William 111. (who, by the way, was so
pious that even his great admirer, Lord Macaulay,
admits that he was an adulterer), to the " crossing of
Boyne water," and similar historical incidents, which
provoked the usual outburst of Kentish fire. Mr.
Harper attributed the levelling-up policy to Lord
Russell and Mr. Gladstone, and said that Lord
Mayo, in suggesting it, was but following out
their proposal. He magnified the three-quarters cf
a million of Irish Protestants into double that
number, and upbraided the English Dissenters, whoa
of course, are all Jesuits in disguise, with aiding the
present bill, which has been described as " the thin
end of the Popish wedge." Mr. Charley, who was
the only M.P. present, accidentally gave the Dissenters
a very good reason for not joining with the Orange-
men, for he said that the first thing to be done was
to " strike a blow at the very heart of the Libera-
tionists." He declared that the majority of 118 was
"a tyrant majority," and must be got rid of. This
defender of the Irish Church prefers a tyrant
minority. He said that there were thousands of
Protestants who thought Mr. Gladstone was "a
traitor to his Queen, his country, and his God," and
he would not say so merely because it was 44 unpar-
liamentary." There was much talk about the Act of
thliQn Actlittlogwaa. dila9.._.copti.qti9A,A?wt Act

one thought of explaining now tne country got on
seventy years ago, when there was no Act of Union.
Great importance was attached to the Irish Church
as the prop of Protestantism, but no one
attempted to shew how a Church, whose chief
merit, according to Mr. Disraeli, is that
it has nothing to do with proselytising, can
advance Protestantism amid a Homan Catholic
population. Altogether the meeting was as excited,
illogical, and absurd as even Cardinal Cullen could
have wished. He ought to pay Messrs. Harper and
Charley for the skill with which they revolt all men
of common sense and common fairness. He should
also, however, insist that on a future occasion Mr.
Murphy should not be prevented speaking. The
refusal to hear him was the only sensible proceeding
of the whole meeting, and to render future meetings
more effectual for the Cardinal's purpose, the pugi-
listic apostle should be allowed to talk as long as ho
pleases.

ENGINEERING.

Engineers are now-a-days perpetually startling us
by some amazing novelty. Before the Suez Canal
has become un fait accompli, before success is certain,
we have quite as wonderful a proposal—a scheme to
intersect Ireland by a ship canal. Liverpool men are
said to be canvassing in fakour of the adoption of the
plan. It is suggested that the canal should be made
between Galway and Dublin. The distance between
the two ports is about 100 miles, the ground flat, and
it is understood that no engineering difficulties of
moment are in the way, while a large amount of
time would be saved, and danger and shipwreck
avoided. Americans offer to raise the whole money
in the United States.
London, England, 1869-04-09

THE POLICE.

Mr. BRUCE said that the case of the persol-, 3fac-
i!onabi, who was stopped by a policy officer named Couch ,r
whilst eelivering Treasury circulars to members of the
house and charged kin, with loitering, had been
inquired info, end had the man answered the questi
put civilly to him by the constable he would hart, avtfided
the short detention which he suffered. The police bad a
very difficult duty to perform, and it was but just that as
much a3sistanco should be given them as possible.
NEUTRALITY LAWS.
Mr BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Harcourt, said he-hoped to
introduce a bill founded oa the Report of theßoyal Com-
mission appointed to consider the laws of neutrality, na-
turalisation, and allegiance during the present session.
THE REPEAL OF THE CORN TAX.

Mr. GLADSTONE said with respect to the cessation of
the payment of duty on foreign corn, it could not be given
up until the approbation of the house had been given t)
the substantial principle of the bill which it would become
necessary to pass before the duty could cease.
Mr. AYRTON, in reply to Mr. Barnett, said the proper
time to ask for further explanation on the subjects referred
to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last evoning would
be when tho subject was resumed next Monday evening.
London, England, 1869-04-09

SOLDIER LABOUR.

A parliamentary return has just been issued shewing
the results of the employment of soldier labour in inci-
dental repairs of barracks and on new works. The report
from Aldershot estimates that a saving of about 10
per cent. on incidental repairs up to about 50 in
new works has attended the employment of
military labour. But we are told that more superin-
tendents are required to look after the men than
if the work were performed by civilians. A saving of 39
per cent. has been made from the employment of soldiers
at: the Curragh, at Parkhurst 30 per cent., and at Wool-
wich 20 per cent, on incidentals, and 25 on new works.
As a whole, the results may be said to be satisfactory,
and the reporter at Woolwich thinks a continuance of the
system will develope its advantages in a higher degree.
At Parkhurst, the writer of the return notes that " the
hearty co-operation of all concerned is essential for the
successful employment of soldier labour."

rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstancef4, 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.
