LOADON, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1869.

Constitu►ional Government was a few years ago
raid to be on its trial—r:nd the dictum was that Of
no less Mast ions a Personage than the Consort of the
reigning Sovereign. Imperialism, ever since it was
revived is France, by NAPOLEON 111., is, off and
on, declared to be on its Trial among our neigh-
hours. Nay, for that matter, from the time
when, upwards of a score of years since, France
placed her destinies within the grasp of the heir
of the First NAPOLEON—that heir of the Great Fm-
PEROR has been regarded by his implacable enemies
as in a manner standing perpetually arraigned at the
bar of Public Opinion. From his first advent to
power he has been treated by them as though he were
a criminal ingrained. Long before the coup (Mat
it was thus that he was reviled—namely, as a heinous
political offender. It was as though he were tainted
by a sort of political Original Sin—and a political
Original Sin that nothing could wash out. It was, as
one might say, in the blood of the BON:11'401ES. ,

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.
NORTON'SCAMOMILE 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
called the " Natural Strengthener 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-
iumstances, 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 ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls, each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

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?'

CANON IsIILLER ON TIIE OFFERTORY.

Canon Miller writes that he has been misrepre-
sented as to what he said with regard to the offertory.
Ile does not disapprove of it, but doubts if it would
be a good substitute for church rates. He admits
that he was rightly represented in attaching impor-
tance to the " surplice " difficulty. He would like
to get over it by wearing the surplice in the pulpit,
and will do so when it ceases to become the badge of
a party. In order to shew that he is not a party
man, he says that he has been asked to promote the
better observance of Ascension Day, " a point on
which I have always felt strongly. But, while I have
expressed my warm sympathy with such a move-
ment, I have not thought it becoming in a private
clergyman to male any public suggestion or appeal
to his brethren." In other words, Canon Miller is
so little of a party man that he will not adopt two
reforms which he thinks to be right because he is
afraid of appearing to separate from his party.
How such reforms as these are to " cease
to be badges of a party," when men whose opinions
are so well known, and whose influence is so great as
Canon Miller's arc, we do not quite see.

CUBA.

The Pall Hail Gazette publishes the following information
from a corresi,ondent at llavannah, elated April 10:
" Affairs it. Cuba are very confused. I fancy ;hat the insur-
gents will make no immediate brad without ext ,rnal aid; but
it is not to be denied that the total surpression is not
yet over ; and this is especially true es regards the
eastern district of the island. The idea here is that for
the last three weeks the insurrection has not made
progress. Duke is a well-meaning, vulgar, ignorant
Spaniard, with a creole wife and the possessor of 1,200
slaves. Dulce's dukedom, and his wife's slaveholding pro-
clivities, do not make either of them more popular with any
class in this place."

ASSASSINATION OF CAPTAIN CARLETON.

An HON. MEMBER asked if any information had been
received relative to the assassination of Captain Carleton,
in the neighbourhood of Athlone.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said beyond the fact that the
lamentable circumstance was true the Government had not
yet received any further information.
AGRARIAN OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY AND
_ _ WES TMEA T LI.

Lord J. MANNERS asked the Chief:Secretary for
Ireland if it was the intention of the Government to take
any steps, or propose any measures for the better security
of life in the counties of Westmeath and Tipperary ?

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the noble lord had so framed
his question as to lead to the inference that these agrarian
outrages were confined to the two counties mentioned.
That was some consolation. The sntject, he could assure
the noble lord, had engaged the most serious attention of
the Government, and there was nothing in the power of
tie Government they would not do to put down these
outrages. The provisous of the Peace Preservation Act
with respect to the possession of arms and the stationing
an extra force of constables, and ch•trgilg the expenses of
the se.me to the places in which they would be called upon
to do duty, would be put into operation; but beyond that
ho hoped the house would not think it desirable that he
should state the oiler steps the Government had deter-
mined to take—(hear, hear)—with the view of put-
ting down these dangerous and hateful crimes. The last
but one of these outrages he did not think could be con-
sidered of an agrarian character, but with respect to the
last he was not ablo to give any further information than
that he had already communicated to the house.

"An eminently interesting, readable, and trust worthy book.
Mr. Edwards was instinctively looked to for a life of Rossini,
and the result is a very satisfactory one. The sail nt features of
Rossini's life and labours are grouped in admirable order, and
the book, while it conveys everything necessary to an accurate
idea of its subject, is as interesting as a novel."—Sunday Times.

THE SULTAN AND HIS ARMT.

---
Letters from Constantinople, by way of garseille6'
al
contain a very odd piece of intelligence. " Sev-14.,
Powers," it is said, have recommended the Sultan "-
raise an army of half-a-million of men in order t°
be fully prepared for eventualities. The Turkish sovereign
replied that such a force was utterly beyond his resource 6
but that he had done all in his pewer by organising a °ell-,
reserve force. It appears, then, that his Sublimity
of
to realise the worst, and hasten the bankruptcy °I
his State as much as possible. Whoever the "geverA
Powers" may be they could not have given their ilia
the Sultan worse advice.

The Indian troopship Serapis, Capt. J. C. Soacil'
at Portsmouth, yesterday embaked Lieut. Robill.
son and 40 men of the Royal Engineers, also Oct°,
soldiers' wives and four children. To-day she wil
embark several military officers to join their regi-
ments, as well as a number of the discharged worl‘.
men from the different Government establishmeots;
who with their families are about to be sent 011,1
under the auspices of the Emigration Society act

FIRE IN A CARTRIDGE FACTORY.

An explosion took place at Turin a few days back
in a cartridge factory. In one of the workshops seven-
teen women were occupied round three tables, on which
a quantity of loose gunpowder was lying, when one
of them let a pair of scissors fall, and a spark, by some
accident, was elicited. In an instant her clothes caught fire
and her companions were speedily involved in the disaster.
Several of them jumped out of window into a canal which
runs close by, whilst the burning dresses of the others

the debate was resumed upon the amendment made by
Mr. Disraeli to the 27th clause, the effect of which was to

payments for glebes and glebe houses.

After some discussion a - division was taken, and the
amendment was negatived by 311 to 227.

SINGULAR ROBBERY.—A very young man, giving
the name of Alfred Lusty, was placed at the bar
charged with robbing a gentleman of his watch.
Mr. Samuel C. Hall, civil engineer, said that at
one this morning he was in Winchester-3 reet,
Pimlico, when the prisoner and two other men came
up and asked him to treat them to beer. He toll
them he should not, and expostulated with them
upon the demand. Iu about a minute or so they
all three hurried away taking different directions.
Immediately after this prosecutor found his watch
had been detached from hii Albert guard. Pri-
so❑er had been close to him. A pursuit
was made and prisoner was taken in Sussex-street,
and near the same spot the watch was subsequently
discovered in the portico of a house there.
Prisoner denied the robbery, and said he was re-
spectable. He and prosecutor and the other had
all been " larking" together.
Trismer Was rema4ded.

THE MART LOWELL.

It is to be hoped that the seizure of the Mary Lowell b 1
the Spaniards will give rise to no diplomatic imbroglio.
The dispute is rather curious, and involves the three
Governments of Spain, England, and the United
States. The Mary Lowell is an American ship,
and was seized off Ragged Island, one of the
Bahamas. The vessel was taken to Havannab, and there
condemned as a legal prize for carrying contraband
of war. The Americans, nevertheless, demand 11e,1
surrender to them, alleging that she was illegal'',
captured on the high seas six miles from Rogge'
Island. On the other hand, the British authorities
require her surrender to them, as it has been proved
that the capture was effected within two miles of our
small dependency, and therefore in British waters. It
remains to be seen, therefore, whether our represents':
tions will produce any effect. But we want no second
Tornado affair. It is a great pity that there

The Times Philadelphia correspondent, however, tele'

Constitutional Govcrnment was a few years ago
said to be on its trial--and the dictum was that of
no less illustrious a personage than the Consort of the
reigning Sovereign. Imperialism, ever since it was
revived in France, by NAPOLEON HI., is, off and
on, declared to be on its trial among our neigh-

as in a manner standing perpetually arraigned at the

it was thus that he was reviled—namely, as a heinous
political offender. It was as though he were tainted

FIRE IN A CARTRIDGE FACTORY.

An explosion took place at Turin a few days back
in a cartridge factory. In one of the workshops seven-
teen women were occupied round three tables, on which
a quantity of loose gunpowder was lying, when one
of them let a pair of scissors fall, and a spark, by some
accident, was elicited. In an instant her clothes caught fire
and her companions were speedily involved in the disaster.
Several of them jumped out of window into a canal which
runs close by, whilst the burning dresses of the others
were extinguished by persons who hastened to their
assistance. They were all more or less burned, but only
two are considered in danger. The exertions of the fire-
men were successful in confining the conflagration to the
room in which it originated.
