EIRRACKS FOR RUSSIA

Military reform is beginning to occupy a good deal of
attention in Russia, where, strange to say, the old system
of billeting soldiers is still kept up, instead of the soldiers
being placed in lamas. The Moscow News is
strongly in favour of the 'Western system, and bases
its arguments on military, as well as on social grounds.
The soldiers, says the writer of a recent article on
the subject, are quartered out during eight months of
the year, in which they Lave little or no military
duty; the younger men are, therefore, likely to
forget their drill as soon as they have learned it.
The Prussian soldier, who serves only three years, has as
much actual training as the Russian, who serves ten; and,
is, as the Sadowa campaign testifies, considerably more
efficient. "At present," says the Mosecia 2Veirs,
"we are maintaining and keeping in readiness,
even in time of peace, at least two-thirds of
our entire army, at an enormous expense to ourselves and
with no benefit whatever to them." If the military esta-
blishment wcro reduced one-third, and the men were
quartered in barracks, a saving of 2- million roubles,
equivalent to £3,500,000, would, it is estimated, be saved, as
well as an inq rov, m nt being effected in the morale of
the troops, and a relief given to the people, upon whom
the quarterage system presses heavily and unequally.
Peter the Great, with whom military efficiency was a
paramount object, contemplated the erection of barracks,
and leveral of his successors also entertained the project,
which was never put into practice, chiefly owing to the
e::pense. This is still the chief obstacle urged against it,
but when once the advantages of the change a:e fully ap-
preciated, it can hardly be deferred on that score, since the
expense, as the 31-osc!;w _Yews reminds us, will not be les-
sened by waiting.

TUE JEWS IN RUSSIA,

The Jews resident in the United States have sent a
deputation to President Grant, asking him to use his
influence with the Russian Czar to obtain a revo-
cation or modification of the late ukase under
which 2,000 Hebrew families have been exiled from
their homes in Russia. The President said it was too late
in this day of enlightenment to persecute people of any
colour, race, or religion, and he promised that the influence
of the American Government should bo exerted in order
to obtain a revocation of the ukase. The American envoy
at St. Petersburg has received instructions accordingly.

THE FEMALE ART GALLERY.

On Monday next a special bazaar and fancy sale
of works of art, executed by females only, will be
thrown open to the public at Messrs. E. Fuller and
Co.'s Gallery,llo4, Great Russell- street, Blooms-
bury. Speaking from a private view, we cm say a
more beautiful or artistic exhibition has seldom, if
ever, been presented to the public. The works of
art offered for sale comprise some of the most ex-
quisite productions it has been our privilege to wit-
ness ; and the fact that they are all executed by
ladies gives them an additional charm. It would be
invidious to particularise by name those ladies
who have contributed to the bazaar, but
we may say that the water-colour drawings,
the crimson lake etchings, the splendid specimens
of antique illuminations, the collections of ferns,
British and foreign, the carvings in wood and ivory,
models, &c., &c., aro all of the moat beautiful de-
scription, and make up an exhibition of unrivalled
excellence. As each visitor will be presented with a
beautiful specimen of the new fernographs, that
of itself will prove a great attraction ; but,
apart from that, the prices affixed to
the different articles aro so moderate
that a clearance doubtless will be effected during the
few days the bazaar is open. That which gives the
bazaar strong claims on the public is that it is en-
tirely for the benefit of those whose work is exhi-
bited. Many places are open for the sale of works
of known artists, but for those not so favourably
placed it is not easy to turn the result of their
talent into money, and for thi3 laudable pur-
pose alone has the Gallery of Female Art been
formed. Every exhibitor fixes the price of her own
production, no heavy percentage is charged for
sales effected, and all that is required to nominate
an exhibitor is a subscription of a guinea by a
member, the said member receiving an equivalent
to the amount in drawings. The bazaar, as au ex-
hibition, is one of the sights of London, and it is to
be hoped that the exertions the Messrs. Fuller have
made to bring about its completion will be crowned
with very great success.

lAn VERTIMIENT.] Holloway's Pills.— Restorer of
Health.—Mankind is waylaid on all sides by the causes of
disease, at all seasous ; the winter (unless vigil ntly
guarded against) is a peccant promoter of mischief in the
!Inman system. This medicine concentrates in a surprising
manner all the artificial meaus of purifying, regulating,
and strengthening -the animal powers. Holloway's pils
have for many years enjoyed the most extensive patron-
age, and have had testimonials awarded to them which
speaks volumes in their praise. In many cases these pills
seem to exercise a specific effect over diseases, which is
manifest by the comfortable feelings of the patient, and by
the improvement in the character of all the secretions.
The pills act mildly, yet effectually, on the bowels.

DISENDOWMENT IN THE COLONIES.

The Act passed by the Legislature of the Bahamas
for the disendowment of the Church of England
in that colony has just been issued by the Colonial
Office. The preamble is simple enough. The reasons
for disendowment are of the most primitive character.
The colonial finances, it is set forth, were in a bad
condition, and cutting off the maintenance of the
Church was the best means of restoring them. A
very large number of the inhabitants were connected
with religious denominations which receive no State
aid, and these persons found it burdensome to sup-
port their own churches voluntarily, and the Esta-
blishment by taxation. Therefore, &c., Q.E.D.

THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

For some time past it has seemed to mall ill:
tluential persons living in Cambridge that it offerci
exceptional facilities for an attempt to o%te/is
the education of women, since it contains
large number of trained and practised teachers.,
[he present time seems favourable for the es
periment, as the University has recently Wet:
tuted an examination for women:on various eilu
jects. Accordingly, a general committee has been
formed of resident members of the Universityf
.engaged in tuition, who have adopted a scheme °t
arrangement for lectures during the ensuing Leer
term. This committee comprises Profs. Adair
C. C. Babington, Cayley, Liveing, and Maurice, anf
about 20 other Fellows and tutors or lecturers e°
their respective colleges. The lectures will for tb,
most part commence in the first week in Februsr."o
and will comprise English history, English langel
and literature, Latin, Greek, German, Freli.si
algebra and the principles of arithmetic, practice
arithmetic, geometry, logic, political ecouoeT
botany, geology, and physical geography, chellostrJi
harmony, and thorough bass, and the theory o
sound in its application to music. The lectereic
will de delivered, generally speaking, twice a we%

CC THE DANGER OP EDUCATION."

Mr. Davis, the stipendiary magistrate for Burslem,
differs from his brother of Birmingham on the subject
of education dangers. In his opinion the criminal
class is an uneducated class. For five years, he said,
ho had administered justice in the Potteries, and
during the whole of that time, with one single excep-
tion, not a solitary case of any description had been
brought under his notice in which a violation of
the law could be traced to a person having wrongly
availed himself of the advantages of education. The
only exception which he could recall, after racking his
memory, and referring to notes, was the case of a
person promulgating a bad book in the name of
religion. Mr. Davis hopes that working men will be
educated to read their book or newspaper, and that
they will no longbr be swamped with tracts.

MANNERS AMONG THE JAPANESE.

A correspondent of the .Nite York Time., relates that in
some instances the Japanese adopt European manners.
On board one steamer it was curious to see men who
at home never take their meals at a table, sit on a chair
or eat with a knife or fork, seriously addressing
themselves to all the formalities of an American
dinner. Their separate table was served exactly like that
of the foreign passengers. Tho Japanese are not separated
from the Europeans by any cast-iron customs like those
which divide us from the Ilindoos or the Chinese. One of
the guests was di essed completely in the European
style, and others wore Various articles of foreign make.
These are indications of coming changes. One of the
nrinces has accepted a New Testament, which it would
nave been death to receive a few years ago.

V.AST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
-1-4 The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied aro 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
°coupled. 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 'u the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme

THE RITUAL COMMISSION.

The Record announces that the Ritual Commis-
sioners are still at work, that is to say, they are
still meeting and parting, and meeting again. They
have come together two or three times since the
Archbishop gave them a spur to make more haste.
In the Primate's absence they dawdle more
than ever. Serious differences of opinion are
found amongst them ; they hardly agree
upon any important point ; and without Dr.
Tait, they have no bond of conciliation, there
is no centre of compromise. ' The only important
decision to which they seem—so far as can be
judged—to have come, is that on the revision of the
Lectionary. But they have not, even on that
subject, yet passed a final judgment. It is
rumoured that they intend to wait for the Archbishop
of Canterbury, and have adjourned, over the Christmas
holidays, until the meeting of Parliament.

CHURCH DISSENSIONS.

Meanwhile the subject is dividing the Church.
At Wolverhampton, especially, the whole religious
world is at strife. The Rev. George Body, ono of the
leaders of the late Mission in London, and the
preacher who made the most mark, is the
object of the sincere wrath of the Protestant
party. His opponents have hardly taken the
most manly way of declaring their opinions. On
Thursday, Mr. Body was to have given a lecture upon
the late Revival. A demonstration against him
was organised by the anti-Ritualists. They broke
in upon him with great uproar while ho was speak-
ing, stopped the progress of the meeting, and put
out the lights. The police had to be called in ; but
to clear the room, not to restore quiet. The hun-
dreds who were present had to be turned info the
street. Some of the doings in connection with
the same Mission have produced opposition in
London also. The parishioners of St. Lawrence,
Jewry, the church at which the Pan-Anglican
Synod services took place, have met to protest against
the turning of their Church from Protestant to
Catholic. They have got the Archdeacon of London
on their side.
