THE USE OF CHLOROFORM

Those who oppose the introduction of new
anesthetics are very exacting in their requirements
of safety. Only one death out of some thousands of
cases was held some time back to be proof that the
American system was a failure. But such
exaction would lead to the rejection of all those
compounds which are " warranted to prevent
pain." Still the administration of chloro-
form is always accompanied with a certain
amount of danger. On Sunday last a chemist of
Sheffield died under it. He was attended by two
experienced surgeons. The chloroform was adminis-
tered to him at his own request, and he had not
inhaled it more than three minutes when the heart
became paralysed, and death, of course, ensued. The
quantity given was very small, but it seems he was
exceedingly afraid of it, and fear carried him off.
The jury returned a verdict, " Died from paralyses
of the heart."

PARIS, Feb. 18.
A circular of the Minister M. Forcade de la
Roquette, dated the 16th inst., has been published
to-day relating to the right of public meeting.
The circular says that until the present day the
Government considered it a duty to confine its
functions to vigilantly watching that no abuses of
the newly-granted liberty occurred, without even
interfering with those speakers who might discuss
matters legally prohibited. Nevertheless the Go-
vernment could no longer tolerate such contraven-
tions, and intends henceforth to suppress all licence,
and thereby separate from the right of free meeting

The Constitutionnel believes that the Belgian
Ministers will offer satisfactory explanations to the
French Government, that they will appeal to the
prudence of the Belgian people, and to their well-
understood interests, and thus counteract the
grievous consequences resulting. from the law as

voted by the Chamber of Deputies, and now wait-
ing ratification by the Senate. The writer then
continues :—" We have little reason for doubting

feeling is

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

Mr. Williams, of the Broad-street Refuge, has
made public a most singular case. He states that an
orphan girl, not yet 14 years of age, has been arrested
and removed from the Girls' Refuge at Ealing to
Whitecross-street Prison for a supposed debt of
£53 lls. 2d. Mr. Williams expostulated with
the attorneys who issued the execution, but
they laid the blame on their client. The governor of
the gaol said he had been there for thirty years, but
had never had such a case before. Mr. Williams
does not attempt to explain the extraordinary trans-
action, but says, with reason, that it is a scandal to
the law. Not the least singular part of the affair is
that so young a girl should be supposed to have
incurred such a debt.

THE FACTORY ACT.

That portion of the Factory Act making the Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday holiday compulsory, has
created a very large amount of opposition and com-
plaint. Workpeople and masters alike are
grumbling ; the former because, as they say, their
wages have been lowered, the latter on account of
the great inconvenience of shutting up so early when
there are large orders on hand. Mr. Redgrave has
done what he can to oblige the employers by allow-
ing the half-holiday to be given on any other
day than Saturday. Now the Jews want
relief. A day or two back no fewer
than seven cigar manufacturers were brought
before Mr. Benson, at the Thames Police-court,
accused of having employed females and young
persons on Sunday morning. From the statements
of several of the defendants it would appear to be the
custom of such of the cigar manufacturers as
are Jews to employ their workpeople for
a few hours on Sunday mornings instead of
Saturday, the latter day being strictly observed as
their Sabbath. By the new Factory Act all work
on Sunday is made illegal, and the Jews are not
excepted. It is true that manufacturers of this per-
suasion are allowed to employ women and young
persons on Saturday evenings from four till nine, but
in summer this exception will be valueless, as the
Sabbath in that season does not end till after nine
in the evening. This certainly makes it a question
whether Jews should not be allowed to carry on their
work while the remainder of the nation is at rest.
But the subject is beset with difficulties.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE " OWL."

The Owl has re-issued from the ivy bush in which
it has been hiding for the past six months. The
bird of Minerva is scarcely yet fully awake, and has,
so far, bat few words of wisdom to utter. It states
(as we had previously stated) that General Balfour
has got over his difficulty at the War Office, and re-
turned to his post. It gives good news to the clerks
at the Admiralty, who are told that they will
not be dismissed en masse, but will be
reduced by degrees, any vacancies which may occur
being filled up with copyists. Per contra, there is
bad news for M.P.'s. The Easter vacation is to be
cut short because Parliament has met later than
usual. Easter is earlier, antt parliamentary business
is urgent. A somewhat mythical secret is communi-
cated ; it is said that when Lord Malmesbury
resigned the leadership of his party in the Lords,
the names of Lord Salisbury and Lord Cairns were
submitted to those with whom the appointment of a
successor rested, and that it was unanimously agreed,
Lord Salisbury himself sharing the opinion, that Lord
Cairns would make the better leader. To us it seems
impossible that Lora Salisbury could have been
suggested. The idea of his working together again,
with Mr. Disraeli is preposterous, or would be so
were it not that Mr. Bright and Mr. Lowe are in the
same Cabinet. With regard to the principal question
of the session, the Owl considers that any direct
negative to Mr. Gladstone's disendowment scheme is
hopeless, intimates that a certain number of
statesmen of both parties will unite to propose a
project which will relieve the Roman Catholics of
Ireland from supporting a Church to which
they do not belong, will maintain, though
in diminished proportions, the Protestant
Church in Ireland in those relations which
now subsist touching the supremacy of the Crown in
all matters ecclesiastical, will continue the representa-
tion of the Irish hierarchy in Parliament, and the
right of every Churchman to have every question
involving doctrine or discipline finally deter-
mined by a tribunal in which the lay element
predominates. It is intimated that Mr. Glad-
stone's scheme for the constitution of a board to
protect existing life interests will not be opposed ;
and that the right of synodical action conferred by
Lord Westbury's Act of ten years ago upon the
Church in the colonies will be extended to Ireland.
The Owl censures the Irish bishops and clergy for
neither creating a policy for themselves nor con-
curring in any suggested by other persons, and warns
them that the maintenance of their present attitude
of "No Surrender " will bring about the .1
destruction.

THE CHURCH CONGRESS.

The Liverpool Church Congress will open on Tuesday,
October sth, under the presidency of the Bishop of
Chester. The sermon will be preached by the Bishop of
Deny. The following list of subjects has been fixed
by the Executive Committee :-1. Improvement of our
Church Services ; Rivision of the Rubrics; How to
improve the attendance at public worship—(to be
taken at one session ;) 2. The Church's work in our
large towns ; 3. Phases of unbelief, and how tc
meet them ; 4. Diocesan organisation ; 5. Exploration
of Sinai and Palestine : the Eastern Churches
6. Clerical education and the ancient universities ;
7. Capabilities of our cathedrals ; 8. Education, including
Sunday schools ; 9. Foreign missions ; 10. Church
patronage, and superannuation of the clergy. The secre-
taries specially appointed to correspond with speakers and
writers are the Rev. T. E. Espin, rector of Wallasey,
Cheshire, and J. W. Cropper, Esq., of Liverpool. The
Congress will occupy four days. One of the evenings is
to be assigned to a working men's meeting.

THE HARTLEPOOL ELECTION PETITTON.

The petition against Mr. Jackson, the Conservative
member for the borough, which was appointed to be
tried yesterday, has been withdrawn. Counsel on both
sides stated that there was no case against the sitting
member, and the matter was formally adjourned
to allow any one else to take up the petition, should they
feel disposed. It is anticipated that nothing more will
now be heard of the matter. At the general election
the candidates were Mr. Jackson (C.) and Mr. Richard-
son (L.), and up to the close of the poll it was doubtful
which side had obtained the victory, the committees of
both gentlemen placing their own candidate in a majority.
At the declaration of the poll, however, Mr. Jackson was
returned by a majority of three, the numbers being :
Jackson, 1,550; Richardson, 1,547. The defeated candi-
date demanded a scrutiny in the petition, but this has been
abandoned.

REMARKS.

The changes in atmospherical conditions since yesterday morning
have been rlight, but readings shew
south-easterly direction, followed by
greater uniformity than of late.
The decrease in pressure of yesterday appears to have moved in a
a slight rise in the N. and W.
The reading at Rochefort is now 0.53 in. higher than that at Nairn,
The report from Biarritz to-day chews that there was an error in that
sent yesterday. Temperature has decreased somewhat, except in
Ekootland and at Rochefort. The gales in the west have gone down,
and the wind has veered. Light W. to S.W. breezes are now general,
but at Valencia the wind has veered to N.N.W. Rain has fallen on
our S. coasts. The sky is cloudy or overcast this morning. The sea
is moderate. Drums lowered all round the coast.

AfELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-SIX‘ MEN
DROWNED.

A very sad accident has occurred to a boat's crew con-
nected with the Calf Rock Lighthouse, near Dursey
Island, on the coast of Ireland. It appears that Mr.
Thomas O'Reilly, the head lightkeeper, and three other
men, had been at the lighthouse for the past :month. On
the day named ho signalled to the main land for the
lightkeeper ou shore (Richard Howard) to relieve him.
Howard at once assembled the boat's crew (six men)
and proceeded with them to the Calf Rock, but on
arriving there found it impossible to land, in conse-
quence of the heavy sea. However, he was able to
exchange mail bags, and, after remaining for about
twenty minutes, left without the slightest apprehen-
sion of danger. The poor fellows gave their comrades
on the rock ono parting cheer, and then pulled for the
main land, which they were destined never to reach:
All appears to have gone on well with them till within
about a mile of Dursey Island, when the entire crew
were seen to have lost their oars. When the boat got
amongst the breakers, Mr. O'Reilly instantly hoisted
the signal 11.,g ou the lighthouse, in the hope of
attracting the notice of the people on Dursey
but unfortunately without effe3t. For upwards of au
Lour the boat was seen drifting with the tide. A sudden
shower obscured the view for about half an hour, and
then it was discovered that the b,at was floating bottom
upwards. Of course every soul in the boat has been
drowned. The whole party were married men, most of
them with large families depending solely on them for
support, and one poor fellow had only been married a few
days.

The offertories at St. Andrews, Wells-street, Lon
don, during 18G8 were no less than .£6,665.

PORTUGAL.

The demonstrations at Lisbon in favour of an Iberian
Union are not without significance. Of all the bankrupt
countries of Europe Portugal is financially the most
miserable. Its deficit has been accumulating yearly since
1865, and the expenditure now exceeds the revenue by
one-half. For the last thirty years there has been no
budget without a deficit. The debt rose from twenty
millions sterling in 1854 to forty-seven millions in 1867,
and all this increase has been during peace. The Govern-
ment has omitted to pay the interest, and has reduced the
rate for both home and foreign obligations ; but these
expedients have availed nothing. Now the troops cannot
be paid, and the crisis, it would seem, cannot be staved
off much longer. Hence the cry for Iberian Union—for
annexing Portugal to another scarcely less bankrupt
State.

THE USE OF CHLOROFORM.

Those who oppose the introduct:on of new
anaesthetics are very exacting in their requirements
of safety. Only one death out of some thousands of
cases was held some time back to be proof that the
American system was a failure. But such
exaction would lead to the rejection of all those
compounds which are " warranted to prevent
pain." Still the administration of chloro-
form is always accompanied with a certain
amount of danger. On Sunday last a chemist of
Sheffield died under it. He was attended by two
experienced surgeons. The chloroform was adminis-
tered to him at his own request, and he had not
inhaled it more than three minutes when the heart
became paralysed, and death, of course, ensiled. The
quantity given was very small, but it seems he was
exceedingly afraid of it, and fear carricd him off.
The jury returned a verdict, " Died from paralys's
of the heart."
London, England, 1869-02-18

TURKEY AND GREECE.

The Patric says the city of Athens bas now -become
quite tranquil. The new Ministry has already commenced
reducing the military expenditure, which, in the prospect
of war, had become overwhelmingly heavy.
A correspondent of the Post writing from Crete highly
praises the activity and skill of Hobart Pasha. No
Englishman has previously held such high active command
in the Turkish navy, and so far the experiment has
produced the best results. Hobart Pasha has settled
the Greek blockade-runners, and put an end to
the Cretan insurrection. More important still,
he has permanently improved the discipline and
organisation of the fleet under his command. The
lethargic Turks think him strict, but he is, nevertheless, a
great favourite both with the officers and the men. The
writer believes that the Porte could not do better than
give him supreme control at Constantinople. Such a
measure would speedily result in a really effective naval
fighting force. The Porte might do more, and get an
English officer to look after its army organisation. The
Turkish army is large enough, but it has none of the
proper necessaries, without which men are useless in these
scientific times.
