rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any eir-
iumotanoors and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their nse. as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

GERMAIIT.

The King of Prussia has increased the list of royal
writers. He has made his de'bilt as a journalist by
publishing, in a small print much read in the army,
an article entitled "In January 1865," vaunting
the new organisation of Vie military service of
the country, and criticising the conduct of the deputies
whose objections, had they been listened to, would not
have permitted Prussia to inscribe Sadowa in her military
annals. The King is evidently new to the work, and wants
practice. Skilled royal journalists do not take to open

of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moo-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A

PORTUGAL.

The Ministerial crisis in Portugal has produced the poli-
tical phenomenon of the people taking side with the King
and his Ministry against the Parliament. The Exe-
cutive is decidedly in public favour, and the Legis-
lature so unpopular that the dissolution which
has just taken place was the only possible solu-
tion of the difficulty. Immense crowds of people,
headed by bands of music, have promenaded the streets of
Lisbon, letting off fireworks, serenading the Ministers,
and loudly applauding the King. The sovereign has given
up 8 per cent. of his allowance to meet the public necessi-
ties ; and if the Ministry make good use of their remark-
able triumph we may yet witness the refreshing novelty
of a little nation paying its debts.

LOCAL TAXATION.

Mr. Corrance, one of the Suffolk county members,
has been lecturing before the Est Suffolk Chamber
of Agriculture, on local taxation. Ile maintained
that it was very unfair that local taxation should be
levied only upon property of the net annual value of
£I),000,000, when the total property of the country
was estimated at (3..";0,000,000. Ile was opposed to
the system of , national rating recommended by the
Somersetshire Chamber of Agriculture, since that
would remove the inducement to economy. He was
rather for having Government grants in aid of local
rates, in the proportion of one-third to two-thirds.
lle warned his hearers not to make this a class ques-
tion, since, if it was supposed to be a matter affecting
the agricultural interest alone, it would have little
favour from the present House of Commons. He
racciaed lii4746lbit g_Mttes before rarli4-

ment. Mr. Henniker-Major, another local member,
promised to support Mr. Corrance. A. resolution was
passed denouncing the present system of taxation as
unfair, and recommending that a remedy should be
found in the extension of Government allowance to
local institutions.

AUSTRIA.

The German population of Austria seems to stand
n
fearoftheleections in Hungary. The pre-
ponderancesdab o'fthe great majority gained by the
Deskcoipearrtyl
3 in
lattie recent
Government supporters is not only over-
whelming in numbers, but the Opposition is split into
factions, discouraged, and without settled policy. Unfortu-
nately, the example of Hungary has not been followed
in other parts of the empire. The Austrian Reichsrath
presents an arrangement of parties far less satisfactory
than that in the Hungarian Diet. The majority in
the Austrian Legislature is far from being a homo-
geneous or well-organised party. Hence it is
feared that Hungarian influence may ultimately
become decisive on most great questions, and
this is especially likely in the case of the Delegations—the
Parliament composed oi deputations from the Austrian
and Hungarian Legislatures.
The ex-King and the Prince Royal of Hanover were
invited on the 22nd to the dinner given by the Emperor in
honour of the Prince of Wales. Will this lead to another
figurative impaling of Austria by the Berlin papers?

CIRCULAR BY THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN.

The following circular has been addressed by the Lord
Chamberlain to the managers of all theatres under his
jurisdiction :
"The Lord Chamberlain presents his compliments to
the manager of the -- has learned
with regret, from observations in the press, and from
other sources, that there is much reason to complain of the
impropriety of costume of the ladies in the pantomimes,
burlesques, &c., which are now being performed in some
of the metropolitan theatres. He has noticed for some
time past that that this evil has been gradually on the
increase, but he has been most unwilling to interfere
in a matter which he considers ought more properly
to be left to the discretion and good taste of
the managers themselves. Now, however, that the
question has been taken up by the press, and public
opinion is being expressed upon it, he feels himself
compelled to call the serious attention of the managers
to the subject ; for ho cannot but remark the discredit
that now justly falls on the stage, and the objections
which are being raised against it by many who have
hitherto frequented the theatres, but now profess them-
selves unwilling to permit the ladies of their families to
sanction by their presence such questionable exhibitions.
The Lord Chamberlain, with every anxiety to promote
the interests of the stage, trusts that he may confidently
appeal to the managers to assist in abating the evil com-
plained of, which threatens to become a public: scandal.
He has purposely addressed these observations in the
form of a circular to the managers of all theatres under

one of its most brilliant members wouit cue inctiviauany
before it died corporally. It ha; just met, and
passed a resolution expressing Glee) sorrow at the
untimely decease of Mr. Ernest Jores. It was pro-
posed that a deputation should attend his funeral,
and Mr. Belles, Mr. Howell, and Mr Bradlaugh were
named. It seems to have struck sone of the mem-
bers that it was scarcely decent for aman who denied
a future state to take part in a service whose key-
note is the sure and certain hope of a resurrection.
So the name of Mr. Odger was suistituted for Mr.
Bradlaugh's, and on a division was en-lied by a large
majority. Other matters then engaged the atten-
tion of the League, among them its own dissolution.
Eventually it was decided that the date of the happy
despatch should be left undecided.

SPAIN.

The elections have decided in favour of a monarchy, but
the question of the most probable candidate is still as
insoluble as
,ever. The Liberty, which has from the first
spoken sanguinely
in favour of an Italian prince, is now
adopting a dubious tone. The Provisional Government
are beginning to perceive that a foreign prince would not
be popular in Spain, and General Cialdini has quitted
Madrid impressed with the full force of this conviction.
The negotiations have, however, been conducted
with great prudence ; the official journals have
kept rigorous silence,
no communications in writing
have passed, and the Government has even
reserved the right of renouncing the candidature,
if the Cortes do not accept it "by acclamation." As the
Cortes is likely to accept nothing by acclamation, this is
very safe ground. The members of the Provisional
Government are clearly divided amongst themselves, and
they can agree upon no policy, or they would have put an
end to the dangerous position in which they linger. The
choice of a monarchy by a popular assembly is likely to
afford Europe a strange spectacle.

LOCAL TAXATION.

Mr. Carrance, one of the Suffolk county members,
has been lecturing before the East Suffolk Chamber
of Agricultrire, on local taxation. lie maintained
that it was very unfair that local taxation should be
levied only upon property of the net annual value of
£9,000,000, when the total property of the country
was estimated at -('650,000,000. lie was opposed to
the system of national rating recommended by the
Somersetshire Chamber of Agriculture, since that
would remove the inducement to economy. Ile was
rather for having Government grants in aid of local
rates, in the proportion of one-third to two-thirds.
Be warned his hearers not to make this a class ques-

tf.'wagricultural interest alone, it would have little
fay our from the present House of Commons.' Ile

RUSSIA.

The Greek Church has refused to take part in the
General Council at Rome; but in Russia, at least, it is by
no means agreed- that such a gathering of ecclesiastics
would not be useful, and it is accordingly proposed to hold
a council of the Greek Church at Constantinople. The
first preliminary, it strikes us, must be to inquire as to the
friendly disposition of the Sultan on this point. Some of
the Russians appear to perceive the humour of asking a
Mahometau sovereign to consent to a meeting in his
capital of the bishops who rule the consciences of his
greatest enemies. Theyhave accordinglysug,gested Moscow
as a better locus.
