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 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-
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 ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lle. 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 SUCCObB of
Norton's Camomile Pills."

The fourteenth report of the Civil Service Com-
missioners states that the total number of candidath's
who have presented themselves since the Commission
entered upon its functions, in May 1855, has been.

COLLISIONS AT SEA.

Information has been received at Lloyd's of the
following collisions which have occurred at sea
during the past few days :—On Monday the screw
steamer Pelham, of Newcastle, and the brig Sea
Venture, of Sunderland, came in collision off
Whitby. It is not at present known which vessel
was in fault, but it is understood that an inquiry
will be made. The brig received such extensive
damage that it was impossible to save her from
going down, and the crew had only time to scramble
on board the steamer, when she sank in deep water.
The Spa Venture was a fine craft, and at the time
of collision was on a voyage from the Thames to
the \V ear. The crew have been landed by the
steamer at Shields. Another collision occurred about
five miles north-east of Whitby between the Is 3"
bella Granger and the Martha, bound from London
for Seaham. 'The Mar ha had her bowsprit and
both masts carried away in the contact, and her
hull was stove in, and while in this helpless eon'
dition the steamer Conservator, of Loudon, took her
in tow, and subsequently transferred her to a tn_Ag'
which took her into Seaham harbour. The third
collision also occurred off Whitby between a
schooner, name unknown, and the brig Gem,
bound from London for Shieldg. The bows of the
latter were stove in, and the vessel was otherwise,
so extensively damaged that she had to be assisted
into Bridlington. The schooner also received
damage, but was enabled to proceed. The screw
steamer Harwich came in collision, while on her
i
voyage across from Antwerp, with the William and
Mary, which was bound from Dublin for Antwerp.
Both vessels sustained damage, but those of the
William and Mary were so severe that the lin
wich had to take her in tow to Flushing. Ile
steamer Forest Queen, of Hull, came in collision
on Monday night with the sloop Friendship, he'.
longing to Goole, and bound for Newcastle frolo
Mistley, and had to tow her from Oxfords'
where the collision occurred, to Harwich. A largef
paddle steamer, supposed to be the Patrick,
Drogheda, came in collision with the brig Al°.
ander, which was lying at anchor between Cloger-
head and Rockshill, and cut her down to the
water's edge. The steamer Trevethick has also
r
been in collision in the Thames with the scheot
Sovereign, of Banff. The latter vessel sank
Gravesend Reach.

HASTINGS.

At the nomination for Hastings Mr. Robertson,
who secured the show of hands, expressed his readi-
ness to vote for any of Mr. Gladstone's measures
which would be really beneficial, but had no hope
that such would be found. The Liberal Governments
of Lord Palmerston and Lord Melbourne would never

have brought in the measures which the present
Ministry had advocated. Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet,
in Mr. Robertson's opinion, is a set of Radicals.
The Irish Church Act must be the infallible pre-
cursor of an assault upon the English Establishment.
Mr. Kay-Shuttleworth, the Liberal candidate,
expressed his determination to support the English
Church. He mentioned incidentally that the trouble
and suffering which the election petition had
caused Mr. North, the late member, had beyond
doubt shortened his life. If other members
of the House of Commons were similarly sensitive
-what mortality there would be amongst our legis-
lators !

QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CANDIDATE.

The Liberals of Chester appear to have made up
their former differences, and are now thoroughly
united in favour of the Hon. Norman Grosvenor. On
Tuesday evening an enthusiastic meeting of the
party was held, which was presided over by Sir T.
Frost, who was knighted on the recent visit of
the Prince of Wales to the city. In introducing
the candidate, Sir Thomas announced himself as.
feeling sure that the men present would be pleased
with the hon. gentleman when they heard him speak ;
" and he was certain that the ladies when they saw
him would be in ecstasies. They would all say,
' What a very handsome fellow V " Considering that
Mr. Grosvenor was on the platform at the time, and
that he was in full view of all tho ladies present,
it is certainly an omission on the part of the
reporters that they do not tell us whether the ladies
did go into ecstasies. During his address, the candi-
date communicated the important fact that " some
persons had told him—and, he trusted, faithfully—
that he was like his--father in person." What his
personal appearance has to do with politics we
.are at a loss to imagine. One of the speakers
afterwards said he supported Mr. Grosvenor
because he was " a chip of the old block,"
not only physically speaking, but in sentiment—for
the hon. candidate had declared himself a Liberal,
and was desirous of supporting the Government of
"that great man, Mr. Gladstone." Mr. Salisbury, a
former representative, supported the candidature of
Mr. Grosvenor, on the ground that he was not the
nominee of any man, any house, nor any clique.
Ono interesting fact was mentioned by this
gentleman. After the last general election
the present Marquis of Westminster intimated that,
with regard to the compact of 1829, under which the
house of Eaton nominated one candidate for the re-
presentation of Chester, so far as the house of Eaton
was concerned it was at an end, and that house would
heartily support any candidate introduced to the city
by the Liberal party. Confidence was expressed that
if the unity of the party continues they would be able
to return two Liberals at the next election.

THE HABITUAL CRIMINALS' ACT.

The Under-Secretary for the Home Department
has addressed a letter to the Lord Mayor of London
respecting the operation of the Act recently passed
for the special benefit of professional rogues.
Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen points out that the prime
object of the measure is the protection of the public
from the depredations of detected offenders by
restraining them from relapsing into their old habits
of crime. For this purpose greatly increased powers
have been entrusted to the police. Such authority,
however, may—and ought to be—exercised so as not
to interfere with, but to assist the efforts of those
who evince a desire to return to an honest life by
earning an honest livelihood. The Under-Secretary
likewise points out that the apprehension without
warrant of a licence-holder who is suspected of re-
lapsing into evil courses, or the entry into premises
in search of stolen goods, can be made only on the
written authority of the chief officer of pblice. For
the better supervision of criminals, a register of all
persons convicted of crime in Great Britain will be
kept in London.

THE PBIVILEGE,g OF PEERS.

Judgment was given to-day in Chancery, in the
point raised in the Duke of Newcastle's bankruptcy,
whether, being a peer, he was liable to arrest for
debt. It was an appeal from the decision of Com-
missioner Winslow, refusing to deal with the
estate of the bankrupt, on the ground that he was
protected by privilege from legal proceedings in
that court.

Lord Justice Giffard said the only qlestion was
whether the defendant was exempt from the opera-
tion of the bankrupley laws, and he went through
the different authorities and cases cited in the
course of the argumcnt. The case must be re-
mitted to the Bankruptcy Court, and if the de-
fendant were forced to be indebted to the plaintiff
the cost of this appeal must come out of his
estate.

never been surpassed by any exp2.rimentalist. By a
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the
operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap-
plication of the flue properties of well selected cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc-
tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk.

QUEEN'S COUNTY.

Eor the vacancy caused by the elevation of Mr.
Fitzpatrick to the peerage, several gentlemen have
been mentioned as probable candidates. Whilst
others are deliberating on the matter, Nr.
Edmund Dease has boldly entered the field
at once, and has already addressed a meet-
ing as a supporter of Mr. Olacistone's Government
and the advocate of " all public rights and privileges."
Mr. Dense himself regards this enunciation of his
policy as exceedingly vague, and therefore promises
to explain his views more fully at some future time.
The son of Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Solicitor-
General for Ireland (Mr. Barry), Mr. Cosby, and
Major Knox (who was unseated for Sligo), are also
mentioned as likely to come forward. A correspon-
dent of the Dublin Express states that a proposition
will be made to the Queen's County Farmers' Club to
adopt Mr. John Stuart Mill as the-Liberal candidate.
Nothing, however, has yet been definitely settled.

VISIT OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS.

The reception given to the King of the Belgians is
thoroughly English. It has been organised after our
queer fashion by an irresponsible committee, whose
only redeeming feature is that by an accident some
members of the Corporation of London sit upon it.
There is this to be said, however : if the arrange-
ments had not been thus made, they would
either not have been made at all, or would
have been accomplished tardily, and, therefore,
ungraciously. The volunteers, after the committee
of which Captain Mercier is secretary had nearly
done the work, suddenly became conscious that
something was due from them as a body to the King
of the country which had received them so enthu-
siastically ; and they are likely to give honour to
whom honour is meet Meanwhile the Committee
first in the field have had an audience with the King ;
and on Thursday afternoon next there will be a grand
presentation of an address to him at Buckingham
Palace. An evening contemporary states that it is
proposed to present the freedom of the City of Lon-
don to his Majesty before ho leaves this country.

THE SCIILESWIG QUESTION.

The Prussian Chamber has been considering the letter
of the Schleswig deputies llerrn Brugor and Ahlc-
mann. The report of the commission was to
the effect that the opinion of the Chamber had
been fully made known by l receding resolutions. Until
the execution of the fifth article of the Treaty of Prague,
the Duchies of the Elbe belonged entirely to Prussia, and
Austria alone had the right to insist on the fulfilment of
the article. The proposal to send the letter of the
Schleswig Deputies to a special commission did not meet
with an adequate support, and the report of the commis-
sion was adopted almost unanimously.

CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS.

The co-operative movement in Sweden has suggested
some comparisons between the Swedish and French work-
men. The A venir National calls attention:to the prosperous
state of the Workmen's Association in Stockholm,
Gothenburg and other places, in order to chew that the
French are far behind in well-doing. The Constitutionnel
asserts that if the Swedish workman prospers it is because
he is free from the persecution of two classes—the dema-
gogue and the Utopian. The workman who is unfor-
tunate enough to be led by these false guides has no faith
in a regular and laborious life, ridicules the idea of
saving money, and expects that any change in the existing
state of things will be to his advantage.

A NEW MINISTEY FOR FRANCE.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily News has;
received important intelligence. The Emperor has
made up his mind that he cannot face the Legislature
and the country with his resent Ministry—a Cabinet
which has not a majority in the Chamber, and which
did nothing to bring about the late reforms. M. Emile
011ivier has received the Imperial command to form
a now Cabinet, and to bring into it four of his political
friends of the tiers parti. " I have reason to think,
though changes may be made at the last moment,
that these four will be the Marquis de Talhouet,
MM. Segris, Buffet, and Louvet ; the last name is,
perhaps, more doubtful than the others. M. 011ivier
will bo in Paris on Saturday, and there is conside-
rable probability that the new Ministry will be
gazetted on Sunday or Monday." MM. Magne and
Chasseloup-Laubat will form part of the new
Cabinet, but it is not yet clear what will become of
that most obnoxious official, M. de Forcade la
Roquette.

ILLNESS OF THE ARCIIELSHOP OF CANTERBURY.
It is with great regret that we announce the seri-
ous illness of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. Tait
has not of late years been in very robust health.
When first he entered on his duties as Bishop of
London ho very considerably injured himself by con-
tinuous hard work, and any very great exertion is apt
to lay his Grace aside. He is now at Broadstairs. So
serious is the attack that his London medical atten-
dant (Mr. Seymour Haden) has been telegraphed for.
It is to be hoped that an improvement will soon be
announced. We cannot afford to lose Dr. Tait yet.

MR. LEATHAM ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

Mr. Leatham has been addressing his constituents
at Huddersfield, on the past and future of the political
world. His review of the last session, as containing
little new, may be passed over. But in speaking of
the coming. measures, he revealed a wide divergence
between himself and the advanced army of Libe-
ralism on the subject of Education. Mr. Leatham
is in favour of national education, carried on by the
State out of the general taxes of the country; and
he opposes the whole scheme of local rating and.
management. On the Irish Land question, he con-
sidered they ought to look for a remedy of the evils
complained of in measures which should encourage as
much as possible, short of compelling, a bond file
system of leasing, and which should discourage as
much as possible, short of prohibiting, tenancy at
will. Respecting the Ballot, he said he did not know
what were the intentions of the Government, but on
the very first day of the session a notice would be
put upon the paper in favour of the Ballot, whether
Ministers supported it or not.

TIIE UNIVERSITY TESTS ACT.

Mr. Carvell Williams, as representing the Liberals
and the Dissenters, speaks of the latter as
I becoming impatient, and heart-sick with hope
deferred. Ho addressed a meeting at Manchester a
day or two back, and was much displeased with Mr.
Forster for saving he was half afraid the University
Tests could not be dealt with next session ; the G overn-
ment would not have time. Said Mr. !Williams,
" The question of time was important to other
Reople as well as to the Government. It was impor-
tant to individuals to whom further delay meant
final disqualification, so that the relief when given
would be given to another, and not to the present
generation." The speaker also demanded the uncon-
ditional surrender of protective privileges. He would
not be content with the Solicitor-General's Bill. The
lion. L. Stanley addressed the same meeting ; and
also urged that the University Tests Bill should be
passed—for it could be so far as time was conctr :ed
—next year.

ANOTHER REDI7CTION.

Retrenchment is going on upon all sides—even
clerical posts are not regarded as sacred. The post
of Receiver of Clerp-y Returns in the Council Office
has become-111cent by the death of the Rev. -William
Harness. 'The Telegraph says that Lord do Grey
proposes to carry out an arrangement, announced as
in contem)lation some years ago, undar which the
place will ~ot be filled up. The duties attached to it
will be trL nsfeiTed to another department of the
Council Office, (.300 a year being thus saved to the
public.

tuOUR FIGIITING sirTps.

. -
I Naval sc• enc 3 i_i England and America is 1•
remarkable opposiion just now. The En,rlish Admi-
ralty, ralty, according to\fhe Times, has decided upon dis-
pensing with mast.kails, and rigging in the fighting
, ships of the fut.rre, and relying for purposes
of propulsion on steam alone. The Ame-
rican GovernrKent has come to precisely the
opposite conclusion. It has resolved to make its
men-of-war full-rigged sailing vessels once more.
.11ut it seems that this remarkable discrepancy is less
strange than .it.woulti appear. Tho American altera-
tion of system is designed for cruisers, and its
object is chiefl36econoniy. Coals are so exceedingly
&ear that our prudent brethren wish to employ sail
whenever possi'sle. t&lur dispensinr, with sail is
to facilitate `the actial of first-class war-ships.
Cor first-rate of the ftri'are is to have no masts.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.

More emigration meetings are being hold. One of
those, which came off in East London a night or two
ago, was specially interesting. Mr. Currie, a member
of the Mansion House Emigration Committee, has
been to Canada, has personally observed the condition
of the emigrants who have recently gone out there,
and has returned to relate his experience. He told this
Poplar meeting that nearly the whole of the emigrants
who had been aided by charitable societies were not
merely employed, but by far the greater number of
them were contented and happy. • There was still
an extensive demand for labour in Canada, and those
who wore prepared to bear a little hardship at first,
and to take whatever work offered, could not fail in
a short time to obtain a home of their own. Mr.
Currie thinks the charital-2: emigration movement
may safely continue.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

(From Me Anglo-American Times.)
The news by the Cintbria to Nov. 9 is that Mr.
Low, the Minister to China, is to remain until
Congress assembles, to have the opportunity of ac-
quainting himself with the views of the Committees
on Foreign Affairs, the President being desirous that
Congress should be consulted on business so impor-
tant.

A klegram to Secretary Fish from Mr. Bur-
ingame, received within a few days, says that he
'Burlingame) ha 1 jitst received official continua-
ion from (he Chines,. Government of “11 that he

has done in treating wi.l► the United States and the
other Governments. General Palmer has been ap-
pointed Appraiser at the port of New York, and
there is a rumour that Collector Grinnell will soon
resign. Senator Morton reached 'Washington Nov.
7, suffering from a fall at Pittsburg, both his
hands being bru:sed, and his left thumb fractured.
There was a disturbance in a COloured Church, at
Washington, wherein two officers who attempted to
arrest the rioters were fearfully beaten. Secretary
Boutwell thinks it necessary to warn the public
against putting faith in sensational stories about
the Government finances. Long accounts are
given of Ex-Secretary Seward's travels in

BEST.,EY, Mayor.—A COMMON COUNCIL,
holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City
of London, on Thursday the 18th day of November,
1869
Resolved unanimously,
"That the best thanks of this Court be presented to the
Right Hon. James Clarke Lawrence, M.P., into Lord
Mayor of this City, for the valuable services so efficiently
rendered during his year of office. This Court has wit-
nessed with the highest satisfaction the manner in which,
in the discharge of the important duties of his office, his
Lordship exercised those qualities by which the char-
acter and dignity of the position of Chief Magistrate
of the City of 'London have been maintained. This
Court especially recognises the judgment his lordship dis-
played when presiding over its deliberations, and is of
opinion that, in combining firmness with consideration
Le greatly contributed to the successful conduct of
business, and advanced the important interests con-
nected with the Corporation. This Court also desires to
express its high approval of his great ability in the ad-
ministration of justice, its sincere gratification in his able
advocacy of works of general philanthropy, and would
record his generous liberaliiy in dispensing the hospitali-
ties of the Mansion House, for which in every respect he is
entitled to the warm and sincere acknowledgments of this
Court hereby presented to him. Whilst with pleasure
recognising the gracious act of her Majesty the Queen in
visiting this City to open Blackfriars Bridge and the Hol-
born Valley Viaduct, this Court sincerely congratulates
the late Lord Mayor upon the intimation of her Majesty's
intention to confer upon him the dignity of a baronet—
an honour personal to himself, but fully appreciated by the
Corporation of London."

PROHIBITION IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The Daily News asks the friends of the Permissive
Prohibitory Bill to take note of what is being done
in Massachusetts; and relates the recent history
of that State something as follows :—At the
recent election, there was alongside the fight
between the Republicans and Democrats for
the governorship a desperate struggle between
the license men and the prohibitionists for the
control of the Legislature. In the last Legislature
the prohibitionists had a large majority, and passed a
prohibitory law, from which, however, they exempted
cider, the farmer's drink par excellence. The law was
not imposed in a single town—that is, in one of the
places in which drunkenness and its resulting crime
are most rife ; so that the town population was
allowed to drink its favourite liquors, and the farmers
were allowed to drink theirs ; but the prohibitionists
rubbed their hands over the Act with as much glee
as if the Millenium were at last come. The public,
however, was thoroughly disgusted, and 171$ license
men have now been returned to the Legislature to
75 prohibitionists, and the prohibitory law will be re-
pealed this winter. We reproduce this without com-
ment; merely remarking that several previous
accounts have been given of what has taken place
in Massechussetts, and of what is going to be done ;
nearly all of which have had to be qualified) or have
turned out to be unsound.

A COUPLE OF YANKEE NOTIONS.
A. Yankee on a 'visit to this country sends to the
Telegraph a couple of suggestions as to the Post
lie thinks our present Money Order system
very cumbrous; regards the fee extorted as a swindle;
and asks why small amounts of money may not be re-
mitted by means of stamps. Ilia proposal is that
tnigumnied unl)erforated stamps redeemable at the
post-oflice be issued for sending; but- ho seems to
overlook the fact that stamps cost money, and the
Government cannot be expected to pay for the con-
venience of even so large a body as those who send
money by post. The Yankee also proposes the adop-
tion of the American system of certified cheques.
lle thus describes that process :
If I want to make a purchase in Chicago or St. Louis I
go to my banker in Now York, draw a cheque, and request
the cashier to "certify " it ; he stamps it with the name of
the bank, and signs it across the stamp " certified." That
means, the bank strikes off my account the amount of the
cheque, and holds that as a special deposit against this
particular cheque ; so, when I go out West—where I am
not known—l bear with inc a certificate of being worth
that much money. I may use it or not—if not, return it
to my banker, and the amount is replaced to my credit,

THE HOLBORN VIADUCT.

The Holborn Viaduct is again reported as safe.
Two eminent engineers affirm that the cracks in the
granite pillars which support the bridge over Far-
ringdon-street do not affect the stability of those sup-
ports. The Viaduct is perfectly safe for traffic. The
cracks do not look well, and popular insanity is mani-
fested in the advanced form of picking out the granite
with knives. But there is no real danger to the mag-
nificent structure which has cost the metropolis so
much.

`r &E INTEL.VATIONAL RACE ON THE

T EYE.

The International race on the Tyne won by Brown, the
American champion, against the well known Sadler, seems
to have been an interesting affair. This was the second
time in the annals of aquatics that an Englishman and an
American have been arrayed one against the other, and as
in the race between Hamill and Kelley three years
ago, the Tyne was the scene of the encounter,
but the result on this occasion was different, al-
though a race between the champion of one country
and a second-class man of another can scarcely be deemed
a representative contest. Mr. W. Johnson, captain of
the Tyne Amateur Rowing Club, was appointed
referee at a meeting of the parties on the pre-
vious night; and as a clause in the articles
gave the men the liberty of rowing either on the
flood or the ebb, ho decided, in consequence of
the continuance of the rough weather, that they
should row down from Scotawood to the High-
level Bridge, the greater mass of the people assembled
thus having an opportunity, not often vouchsafed, of
witnessing the conclusion of the contest, which proved
unusually close near home. Brown had the north shove,
nearest the Scotswood-road, and got away very fast at the
start, and aided by a very fine ebb, was half a length in
front at 100 yard 3. Sadler, on his own part, also rowed
very rapidly, but failed to make any headway on his op-
ponent, who had cleared himself in a quarter of a mile,
Sadler rowing very wide of his man, and going con-
siderably out of his way towards the Derwenthney.
Brown plying his sculls rapidly, though much less so than
Hamill, steadily improved his position, leading by two
lengths at the top of the King's Meadows, and three lengths
at Paradise-quay, a mile and a quarter from the start. No
change had occurred as they rowed along the Meadows
past Sir William Armstrong's works, but on nearing the
Little Annie, Sadler appeared to wake up to a sense of the
fact that he was nearly four lengths astern, and as they
passed Waterson's Gates, scarcely more than two lengths
separated them. Amidst the wildest cries in the Northum-
brian, interspersed with a few observations in the London
vernacular, Sadler gradually gained on his man, who,
on his part, was apparently tiring. At the Shot Tower
Sadler was nearly over his stern, and in these positions a
fine race was rowed to near the Skinner Burn. Hero
Sadler overlapped his opponent a little, but his exertions
in getting up were clearly telling on him, while Brown
had still an effort left. A little further on, by a fine spurt
he shook the Londoner off, and the latter retired dead
beaten ere their arrival at Wylie's Quay, Brown rowing
in by himself amidst tumultuous applause. The time
occupied was 21 mins. 30 secs., which of itself will shew
both the severity of the race and the strong wind behind the
men.
London, England, 1869-11-20

HIGH CHURCH REVIVALS.

The High Church missions and revival services in
London are well attended. For twelve days, com-
mencing last Sunday, preachers of known zeal and
ability have been engaged to officiate in the leading
churches. The system pursued by Mr. Body, of
Wolverhampton, may be taken as an exemplar of the
manner in which this important movement is con-
ducted. Mr. Body has been preaching regularly
twice a day at All Saints, Cavendish-square, in the
afternoon at four o'clock, and in the evening at
eight. The afternoon services commence with
prayer, partly extemporary. The clergyman then
takes his position at the entrance to the altar, reads a
portion of Scripture, and then gives an exposition.
After the address a hymn is sung, while the
congregation is kneeling. This is succeeded .by a
prayer and benediction, and the announcement is
made that the " Bible class" will commence in about
five minutes, the congregation being asked to remain.
Another portion of Scripture is read, followed by a
second address. A similar proceeding is adopted in
the evening at night o'clock. En passant, it may be
noted that in Mr. Body the High Church possesses a
preacher of a very superior order. The Times compares
him to Whitfield, Wesley, or Father Ilyacinthe. His
discourses are marked by great earnestness, eloquence,
and power.
