MARRIED WOMEN'S PEOPEILTY.

Miss Becker appeals to the public to help her and
her friends to obtain protection for married women.
Mr. Russell Gurney's bill amending the law as to
married women's property is promoted by a society
of which." Elizabeth 0. Wolstenholme " is secretary,
and Miss Becker treasurer. The society is preparing
for a lengthy campaign on behalf of the measure,
and would be very glad of a couple of
hundred pounds. The object of the bill, as the
reader will remember, is• to reform the common
law, which gives the property and eirning,s of a
wife to her husband, and thereby to eatend to the
poor, who cannot afford the expense of settlements,
the protection which (as Mr. Becker hints) the richer
classes take care to secure to their own daughters on
marriage.

VACCINATION.

The doctors are taking up the subject of vaccina-
tion. Several of them addressed a meeting of the
Ladies' Sanitary Association on Tuesday. Dr. Garth
Wilkinson, Dr. Collins, Dr. A. Haviland, Dr. Pearce,
and others, recorded their emphatic protest against
compulsory vaccination. They urged that the opera-
tion was no protection against smallpox ; that it
carried consumption and other diseases with it
to some, and caused ailments to develope
in others. In many cases indeed it pro-
duced smallpox itself. Lunacy, idiotcy, cancers,
tubercules, and many other div.r.ses were stated
to have been produced by the operation; and
resolutions were passed condemning it, declaring the
compulsion to be a breach of the liberty of the sub-
ject. One of the speakers said, "It was well known
by expert veterinary surgeons that Jenner's lymph
was the grease arising from long established lung
disease in horses. Jenner saturated- old rags with
the matter from greasy-heeled horses, and with this
ho inoculated." What is the meaning of this ?

TEE SERE AISD YELLOW LEAF.

is clear that the end of the season of sense is at
hand. Every sign points to it. The famous paper
which cannot tolerate unnatural dulness hrs already
commencedits autumnal career of unnatural
liveliness. In addition to its adventure with the
moon at St. Cloud, it perpetrated a whole leader
on a story of Maximilian's widow playing
roulette at Spa. Unfortunately this was only more
moonshine, for the unhappy lady has not been to
Spa. Then an attempt is being made to prove that
the woman, Fanny Oliver, now under sentence of
death, did not poison her husband. One correspon-
dent thinks that the arsenic might have been
accidentally inhaled ; but this gentleman admita
that it would be difficult to inhale sufficient
to cause death—and yet the man died. Lrstly, the
sermon question has made its appearance. A
" Presbyter" proposes to mitigate the dulness of
sermons by allowing the congregation the option of
hearing them or not, and by "a peculiar adaptation
of the style to the circumstances of the hearers."
" Presbyter's" own letter shews that this latter
improvement is quite possible.

IIZATY DAMAGES,

'ln theDivoreeCinniforiVedneadiTUDAPenzanee anda
common jury were engaged in trying the of '1
Moore
v. Moore and Lees." The petitioner, a captain in the
army, -and. son of General George Moore, married the
respondent, a physician's daughter, in 1861. He u;aiSubse-
quently ordered to India, where he was accompanied
by his wife. In 1867 the petitioner joined the expedition
to Abyssinia and the respondent returned home. She
made the acquaintance of the co-respondent, and lived
with him at several places ; and ultimately she wrote to
the petitioner's mother, acknowledging that she was living
in adultery. The facts were not denied, and the counsel
for the co-respondent contented himself with address.
ing the jury on the subject of a mitigation
of damages, observing that this case differed from
others where the co-respondent was a friend of the
hneband's.—The learned Judge, in his summing up, told
the jury that the case was one for substantial damages,
and a verdict was given for the petitioner as to the
adultery, with £1,500 damages.

THE ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A

JEIVEBS.

. --The famous Jewish abduction case in South Wales is
being investigated at the Glamorganshire Assizes by
Mr. Baron Channell and a jury of nine. When
the jury were called, only ten made their ap-
pearance, when it was agreed that one should
be struck off, and the case proceeded with. Great
excitement was manifested in the neighbourhood, crowds
being assembled outside the Town Hall. A girl
named Esther Lyons, daughter cf a respectable
Jewish family in Cardiff, left her Lome and
was found to have become a Christian, living under
the protection of a Baptist minister and his wife, named
Thomas, also of Cardiff: The parents of the girl charge
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas with abduction. The defendants
put in an affidavit affirming that they had not detained
her, but that she complained of her mother's ill-usage and
wished to leave home. The girl was brougl.t into court, and
her mother, who had not seen her since March last year,
became much agitated, and on her daughter's refusal to
come to her, fainted, and had to be taken out of court.
Mr. Lyons, the girl's father, gave his evidence
in much 'excitement, and denied that his daughter was
ever ill-used at home. Sarah Carver, a young girl who
had been employed by Mr. Lyons, was mixed up in the
affair, and gave evidence to the eff,ct that Esther had
gone voluntarily to Mrs. Thomas's. The case is expected
to last for same days.

THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.

The Treekly Register, the organ of the Roman
t)atholic Liberals, has a remarkable article on the
Irish Land Question. In it the policy of the
Government in postponing all action on this measure
till next session is thoroughly approved. Mr. Glad-
stones conduct in this matter is compared with
Mr. Canning's forty-two years ago. That great
statesman intended to remove the disabilities from
both Roman Catholics and Protestant Dissenters; but
he took one measure at a time, knowing that that was
the best way to carry both. The Register contends
that there was only one contingency that would have
justified Mr. Gladstone in dealing with the Church •
and the land in the same session—the certainty of a
large majority in the Upper House. Sofar fromhaving
that, he knows that if the Church Bill passes the
Peers it will do so in consequence of their fears rather
than with their good wishes. The Register, without
admitting that a peasant proprietary would be tho
cure for Irish evils, cannot see anything revolutionary
in Mr. Bright's rleme. It is simply one for giving
the landowners a fair price for their land, and
selling chat land again to the tenants and
the peasantry. There are many districts
in Ireland where high farming is impossible.
Along the coast line in Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Done-
gal, and Antrim, for instance, the scientific farmer
with large capital may be wasting his time and his
andalso therewh where
imnotenreiyor; ywindaetydirestroifcttshien
stohiel
excludes what is understood by high cultivation,
reartehemastnoyn
and is, therefore, favourable to small farming.
In these districts Mr. Bright's plan might be
advantageously adopted ; and when the time arrives
next spring for taking up the land question, the
Register hopes the Ministerial bill will contain pro-
visions for trying the experiment, and thinks that
this will prove an efficient cure for that great evil,
absenteeism.

neer—no mean authority—nye, ii a letter to the Turies,
that the proposed deepening and widening of the river
will be of no use whatever. The Cam is practically
a canal, worked by lochs. The whole town of Cam-
bridge drains into it. It is therefore little other than
a large open sewer. To make it deeper and wider
will only make things better for a time. As the town
grows larger the river will silt up more speedily than
before, and its second state will be worse than the
first. But if the township would expend £2,700—n0
great burden to 30,000 people—the sewage might be
intercepted. Then the college work would be of
real value.

Professor Ewald, King William's visit to his lately.
acquired province was postponed. It was announced
that indisposition was the cause of this delay. The
Patric, however, positively affirms that the fear of hostile
demonstrations from the Hanoverian populace has brought
about the change of programme. Not only has the visit
been postponed, but when it does take place a route
differing from that first chosen will be followed.

THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE.

An important question is raised by a corres-
pondent of the Dady News relative to the
French Atlantic Cable. The French Emperor has
granted twenty years' monopoly to the layers of the
new line. Seeing that such a line is international;
that a cable worked by a one-sided company might give
advantages to those who live in one country and
deny them to dwellers in the other; that, in fact,
France might establish a kind of Protection against
the United States, it is a , question whether the
Emperor is justified in thus using his power.

FOREIGN NOTES.
ANOTHER DIVETOOLTY WITH SPAIN.

The Spaniards, in their zeal against the Cuban lour.
gents, have once more, if we may believe the Nassau
Herald, forgotten themselves. Another insult to Great
Britain in the Bahamas is reported by this journal. A
Spanish steam-tug, the Maria Louisa, captured swell-known
blockade-runner, the Yarra, near the entrance of Slaughter
Harbour, and then landed a force of from ninety to a
hundred men, armed with bayonets and pistols, to capture
her escaped captain and crew. They are said to have.
proceeded to the Great Stirrups Cay, and searched houses
there. Subsequently they landed a force on others of the
Bahama group of islands, and searched the houses of seve-
ral planters. A police magistrate and a British naval officer
asked for an explanation from the Spanish officer. This
was found unsatisfactory, and a report of the " atrocious
outrage" has-accordingly been sent to England.

ITALIAN DESIGNS ON BOMB.
Tho Tablet, in common with other journals of very
different politics, believes the union of the Tuscans
under Menabrea with the Piedmontese to be nothing
else than a combination to effect a change in the relations
between Italy and Rome. " The hypocritical character
of the adi-dizant Conservative (Menabrea's) party in
Florence is far more dangerous to Rome than all the plots
of Lugano." Lavalette, the Tablet thinks, will readily
embrace any pretext for withdrawing the French troops,
and then—what can be expected of Minghetti and
Mordini, the Garibaldian ?

MAZZINI.
Mazzini has addressed " to his enemies" a manifesto of
some importance. He denies all complicity with the revo-
lutionary attempts at Milan and Naples ; and he even
asserts that he did all in his power to prevent them.
Nevertheless he holds to the belief that the House of
Savoy has failed to complete the work of Italian unity,
and a Republic is, therefere,•the inevitable consequence.

POLITICAL TRIALS AT ROME.
"" Anotter batch of 'conspirators has just been tried and
condemned at Rome. About sixty persons implicated in
the atteinpts at insurrection in October 1867 have been
sentenced, two to hard labour for life, and the rest to
periodi varying from ten to twenty years. All of them
will coin( under the amnesty decreed on the occasion of
the Pope's jubilees and will therefore have two-thirds of
their sentence remitted.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF

ENGLAND.

The half-yearly meeting of this society was held on
Saturday at the society's rooms, Hanover-square, Sir
Archibald Macdonald in the chair.
The report stated that the Duke of Devonshire had
been elected a vice-president in the room of the late Sir
J. V. B. Johnstone, and Sir Thomas Hesketh and Mr.
T. Slatter had been appointed on the council in the place
of Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., resigned. The funded capital of
the society still remains £16,027 19s. 7d. in the New
Three per Cents, and £3,000 lies on deposit with the
society's bankers, and the cash balance in their hands
on the Ist inst. was £4,235. The Pasha of
Egypt has been unanimously elected an honorary
meraber of the society, in recognition of hisgenerous aid to
British agriculture, and his interest in its progress ; and
M. Drouyn de L'huys and M. Edouard Lecouteux, the
first president and secretary of the " Societ6 des Agricul-
teurs do France," have also been unanimously elected
honorary members of the society. The council announce
that the country meeting for 1870 will be held at Oxford.
The country meeting to be held at Manchester, under the
presidency of the Prince of Wales, from the 19th to the
24th of July, promises to be unusually attractive.
A schedule of prizes to the amount of £4,120 has been
issued for live stock and implements. The local
committee have also announced their intention of holding
ash my of hounds and an exhibition of leaping of hunters;
and the Royal Horticultural Society will hold aflower show
adjacent to the society's yard. After referring to im-
provements in the ✓ournal, the report goes on to say that
the examinations for the society's educational prizes and
certificates were held on the 13th of April and following
days, when eighteen candidates, out of twenty-one who
had entered, presented themselves for examination in the
several subjects.

Colonel TOWNLEY moved the adoption of the report, and
in seconding it, Mr. DENT, M.P., said that thecommittee
thought it would be well to give prizes for the
best essays on certain farms which shewed
the peculiarity of cultivation in different districts;
that commissioners should be sent to different districts in
England, Scotland, Ireland, and continental countries ;
and that the prize essays and reports should be published
in the Journal. With this proposal he agreed, as he
thought they would receive much good information and
practical knowledge. As to the election of the council,
he was a great advocate for the infusion of new blood, and
in his opinion one-half of the members should retire
annually.

THE OVERLAND ROUTE BY BRINDISI.

Captain Tyler has reported favourably to the Board of
Trade both on the accommodation at Brindisi and the
facilities of the Brenner route of communication with
India. The Mont Cenis track is shorter by 150 miles than
the Brenner route, by way of Ostend, Munich, Verona,
and Brindisi; but the time required for traversing the two
would be much the same. The time occupied in the
Brenner route is estimated at 150 hours ; by the Mont
Cenis route 1501 hours, or 1471 after the Mont Cenis
tunnel is completed. Either service, if carried out, would
effect a saving of thirty hours over the Marseilles
route, but practically the time saved as regards letters
from this country would not be more than twenty-four
hours, because the Indian mail now leaves London on
Friday evening, and as the General Post Office is closed
on Sunday, the latest time for the postage of letters
would be Saturday evening. Captain Tyler, however,
has far grander projects in view. He looks forward to
the time when the Euphrates Valley will be complete, and
when the Indian traveller may " pass dryshod from
London to Bombay—through a submarine tunnel from
Dover to Calais—through Europe by railway—over the
Bosphorus by a bridge—and forward by railway down the
Euphrates Valley, and round the Persian Gulf to
Bombay."

neer—nb m eanauthority—says, in a, letter to the Ttnies,
that the proposed deepening and widening of the river
will be of no use whatever. The Cam is practically
a canal, worked .by lochs. The whole town of Cam-
bridge drains into it. It is therefore little other than
a large open sewer. To make it deeper and wider
will only make things better for a time. As the town
grows larger the river will silt up more speedily than
before, and its second state will be worse than the
first. But if the township would expend £2,700—n0
great burden to 30,000 people—the sewage might be
intercepted. Then the college work would be of
real value.

THE FRENCH

'OR IN

A. day or two ago it was announced by telegraph that a
rupture between France and China was imminent. It
was stated that difficulties had arisen between the Govern-
ment of Pekin and the Ministar of France, and that a
Chinese official had "slapped the Ambassador's face."
The Independance Beige, however, states that the report
of this rupture has yet to be confirmed. The French
Government have received no intelligence of it. But this
is Quite possible, for the French telegraphic agency is
(lez)lorably bad—more Fr 4 than that which birinto Mae Z..";

APPROACHING MARRIAGE (Y TEE
CROWN PRINCE OF DENilf_4l;.

The correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette at Copenhagen
says Ilia Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Den-
ma:k left Copenhagen on Wednesday afternoon for
Lulieck, en route for London. His Royal highness will
remain in England on a visit to the Prince and
Princess of Wales fur a month or six weeks. The
27th of next July is the day fixed for the marriage of the
Crown Prince of Denmark with the Crown Princess of
Sweden. When it was officially announced last year that this
marriage had been settled, the news was received with great
satisfaction by the Danish people. The print shops and illus-
trated journals were at once filled with portraits of the young
P:

'rince and Princess, with allegorical figures of Peace and
Happiness crowning them with wreaths of flowers, whilst
underneath were prayers addressed to heaven in their behalf.
The chief cause of this rejoicing is the the fact that the mar-
riage is looked upon as the first step towards the union of

the two kingdoms. "Scandinavia," it is said, "will then be
an important Power with an army and a fleet which will
enablo it to hold its own against foreign aggression." Apart,
however, from political considerations, the young Princess
is good-looking, most amiable, highly accomplished, and
possessed of a largo private fortune, derived from her mother,
who is a Princess of the House of Orange.

FOUR VESSELS AND SEVEN LIVES LOST.

Advices from St. John's, Newfoundland, announce
the wreck of four vessels at the seal-fishery, and the
loss of seven men belonging to one of the ill-fated
ships. The brigantine Elfrida, Captain Jeffers, belong-
ing to and bound for Habor Grace from the seal-
fishery, was totally wrecked in a snowstorm on the 15th
April, at a place called Mosquito Point. Seven of her
men were killed by the falling of the mainmast. The
second vessel on the list is another brigantine named the
Selah Hutton, Captain Batterton, which was dismasted
at the seal-fishery during a gale from the N.E.
This vessel was driven into Bonavista Bay, where she
also became a total wreck. The third vessel lost is the
brig Volunteer, Captain Gordon, also belonging to Harbor
Grace. She was lost at the seal-fishery, but no date is
given. The other vessel lost is named the Packet, Captain
Osborne, which was wrecked at the seal-fishery, near a
place called Twillingate.

A POLITICAL CRISIS.

It appears that such pressure has been put
upon the standing committee of the Irish Church
Conference that, after having determined not to
recommend the rejection of the Irish Church Bill,
they have reconsidered their decision, and by 28 to
9 votes have decided to send a deputation to the
forthcoming meeting of Peers in London, in order to
recommend them to oppose the bill. The Central
Protestant Defence Association have also determined
to send a deputation with the same object.
This announcement, taken in connection with the
very important statement of the John Bull that its
previous announcement of Lord Derby's intention
to oppose the second reading is correct, and that if
he had not resolved to do so Lord Redesdale or Lord
Bandon would have done so, indicates that we are on
the eve of a very formidable political crisis which
cannot fail to alarm all thoughtful and far-seeing
men. or is this all ; meetings are to be organised
in all parts of the country, in order to agitate against
Mr. Gladstone's measure; and as we may safely
calculate upon similar demonstrations in behalf of
the measure, we must expect a season of storm such
as we have not witnessed for many years.
