THE DAUNTLESS AND THE CA3IBRIA.

An International Ocean Race between the English
yacht Cambria and the American yacht Dauntless
has long been under consideration ; but has not
yet been brought off. As not unfrequently happens,
each of the owners of these two vessels charges the
other with the failure. In a letter just published,
Mr. Bennett, jun., of the Dauntless, gives a long and
not very inviting history of his disputes and mis-
understandings with Mr. Ashbury, the owner of the
Cambria. The principal point of difference seems to be
that the former desires only to sail a race across the
Atlantic; whereas Mr. Ashbury, in addition to the
ocean contest, wishes to have one or more trials in
inland waters. This Mr. Bennett will not consent to.
The ocean race, and nothing ,else, is what he desires.
He, for the third and last time, as he expresses it,
challenges Mr. Ashbury to a co ntest from the Old Head
of Kinsale to the light-ship off Sandy Hook, the day of
sailing to be the Bth of March, 1870. The stakes Mr.
Bennett fixes at five thousar.d pounds a side, to be
invested in a service of plate ; but he is quite willing
to dispense with any moi tey prize, and to be
satisfied with a simple trophy, such as a set of colours.
If this challenge be declined, or if Mr. Ashbury still
insists upon a short race in aeidition to the run across
the Atlantic, Mr. Bennett will break off the
negotiations.

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.

THE MEXICANa. DEBT.

Judging. from a, communication to the Mexican
Congress from the Xinance Minister, it would appear
that there is a protspect of the unhappy creditors of
Mexico receiving some interesUon their money. The
Finance Minister admits that the question of the
public debt involvs the honour and repute of the
nation. The honour, and repute of the Mexican nation
is about as low as it well can be, and it is difficult to
imagine that any further doings can compromise it
still more ; but it, is gratifyint, to find that Juarez's
Government does place some value on the good name
of a State. SteT2s will now be taken to restore the
national credit, and to resume payment of interest.
This latter duty has been left in abeyance for some
time awiur to " the peculiar circumstances of
Mexico." It will, however, be resumed—says the
Finance :Minister—at the earliest possible oppor-
ttmity.
The Co. rk Board of Guardians have unanimously
adopted a it emorial to the Government for legislation which
will protect :ale interests of tenants without Infringing upon
the just rights of landlords. 4, wire,

THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The official liquidators of the Albert Assurance
Company have convened a meeting of the representa-
tive policy holders' committees for Monday next.
The object of this meeting will be to consider a
scheme which has been prepared, and has received
the approval of the board of an old-established life
assurance society. Under this plan holders of Albert
policies on lives now assurable will be granted new
policies upon " equitable and advantageous terms."
The liquidators are of opinion that this arrangement
will considerably reduce the liabilities of the Albert
Company.

THE CUBA.

President Grant specially ordered the seizure of the
privateer Cuba at Wilmington because ho was anxious to
act up to the letter and spirit of the neutrality laws.
The trial of the case will go on as if no such seizure had
taken place. The officers of the privateer will be heard be-
fore the United States Commissioners at Wilmington, and
the case of the vessel will be tried at the November term of
the United States District Court for North Carolina. The
Cubans in Washington do not consider that the action
of the Government has effected any change in their
prospects.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION

Dr. Ross has reported to the Board of Works on
the effect of the Compulsory Vaccination Act in his
parish. He is medical officer for the salubrious
metropolitan region of St. Giles, and his experience
must, therefore, be valuable. lie states that " during
the year 1867, the year preceding the operation of the
new Act, the mortality from smallpox was thirty-one.
On the Ist of January, 1868, the Act came into force,
and during that year the mortality sank to six, whilst
during the past nine months of the year 1869, there
has not been registered a single death from this
disease." Dr. Ross remarks that stronger proof could
scarcely be afforded of the beneficial operation of any
legislative measure for the arrest of a frightful
disease.

A lIIGH TIDE AT LAST.

It appears that the scientific men made only the
trifling error of a month in their reckoning about the
high tides. There was to be a high tide, it seems,
but instead of happening in the early part of October,
it has occurred in the beginning of November. The
Thames rose three feet three inches above

high water mark on Wednesday afternoon.
The banks were covered with water in
many places, and much damage was done to
many of the houses. At St. Paul's pier the water
flowed fifteen feet beyond the wharf, and passengers
had to wade ankle deep through the water to get at
the steamers. The tide flowed over the Bishop of
London's grounds like acataract, the entire lawn being
converted into a lake. At Hammersmith there was
a boat-race between Coxon and M'Mahon, but the
tide was so high that the steamer accompanying
the men could not get under the Suspension
Bridge, and the spectators who had paid their
money to see the race had to content themselves
with a distant gaze.

THE AIIMERICA:I PRESIDE:N-IZ,

It is stated in the New York papers that tl.e President,
in his coming message, will recommend thac the internal
revenue tariff remain undisturbed for one year, in which
time the public debt. will be so much reduced that a
material reduction of taxation can be allowed
without detriment. A special despatch from
Washington states that he will recommend to Congress
the recognition of the Cubans. At a grand meeting
held at the Cooper Institute, New York, for the
purpose of ratifying the State nominations, the name of
the President was mentioned with enthusiasm, and one of
the speakers, a Mr. Pierrepoint, confidently predicted his
re-election to the presidency in 1872. He foretold that an
attempt would be made to induce General Sherman to
come forward as Grant's rival for the presidential chair;
but, as Sherman refused to be nominated at the last elec-
tion, this is not thought likely in New York. Great indig-
nation is expressed by some journals at the recent attempts
to connect the President with the manoeuvres of the Gold
Ring. Corbin, a prominent mover in the affair, is his
brother-in-law, and Mr. Jay Gould, whose name has played
a prominent part in these discreditable transactions, makes
constant reference to matters told him by Corbin, which
implicate the President. A letter has been published in Mr.
Gould's organ, purporting to be written by Mrs. Grant to
Mr. Corbin, in which she says :—" My husband is very
much annoyed at your speculations. He tries not to be
influenced by them, but fears he is. Another reason why
they must be closed is because Cuban matters will soon
come up in the Cabinet, and the action of our Government
will influence the price of bonds." This letter is unhesi-
tatingly denounced as a forgery by the New York
press, and the attempts of Messrs. Gould and party
to implicate the President have as yet only succeeded in
damaging themselves. General Butterfield, against whom
similar allegations have been made, has demanded a court
of inquiry, declaring the whole of the statements con-
cerning him to be totally false. Mr. Fisk has been con-
spicuous in this unworthy effort, and the New York
Tribune, pointing to the condition of the Erie Railroad,
advises him to direct his attention to his own affairs for
the future.
London, England, 1869-11-05

TIIE GAME LAWS.

The Hertfordshire Chamber of Agriculture has
continued the raid on the Game Laws so vigorously
commenced by similar associations in other counties.
One member at the meeting on Wednesday proposed
a resolution, declaring that the over preservation
of ground game was injurious to the produce
of the soil, and tended to increase crime in the rural

districts. But this condemnation was neither exten-
sive nor vigorous enough for the Chamber. By a
considerable majority, the Game Laws were pro-
nounced injurious to agriculture, and demoralising- to
landlord, farmer and labourer. It was agreed that
every means ought to be taken to procure, not the
reform, but the repeal of those laws.

RURAL POSTMEN.
The halfpenny newspaper postage—a great boon to
the public—will be by no means such to the postmen,
and especially those of the rural districts. To them
it will bring double work, heavy
.burdens, and cause
more deliveries. A plea on their behalf appears in
the Daily News. They are to have more work ; they
should, therefore, it is contended, have more pay :

Many of these underpaid "civil servants" walk twenty
miles every day, over bad roads and in all weathers, with a
burden not unfrequently beyond the adequate considera-
tion of those who remunerate and those who enjoy their
hard but honest toils. Now fancy the enormous addition
to their labours which the creation of a halfpenny news-
paper postage will surely bring. It is with much sympathy
I thus plead for the poor rural postmen under the pressure
of the contemplated scheme, trusting such an honourable
class of officials will find that in the adoption of a grand
idea the country will not ignore their claims to considera-
tion in the matter of Personal comfort and a more suitable
reward.

MIDDLE-CLASS EDUCATION.

The efforts to promote middle-class education in
London have produced very satisfactory results.
Some time ago several of the leading city magnates
subscribed a large sum towards the establishment
of a school in which the sons of clerks and others in
a kindred rank of life might be educated. The
project has been carried out. The school has been
in op)ration for a considerable period, and it now
includes 1,000 pupils. It is designed to extend the
movement. The Lord Mayor, who, with other
gentlemen, visited the new Central Middle Class
Schools on Wednesday, announced that a site had
been purchased for another establishment in South-
wark. He himself -would not be content until ten
such schools had been founded. The cost of educa-
tion under this system is about £4 a year.
NEWLY-FLEDGED EVILDOERS.

The Habitual Criminals Act is likely to seriously
affect the comfort of youthful criminals as
well as of old ones. At the Middlesex Sessions
some choice specimens of habitual rogues per-
fected at an early age, have been on view. Daniel
Burchell, a lapidary, aged 15, was convicted of
stealing linen. Several previous convictions were
proved against him, and he was sentenced to seven
years' penal servitude, to be followed by seven years'
police supervision. Charles Tilled, aged 13, was
convicted of stealing twenty-seven rings, of the value
of £IG, and was sentenced to twelve months' hard

labour, with a reformatory in the background.
Surely upon such conditions as these crime
will become too disagreeable to pay. These
two are specimens of several young gentlemen
who have been cut short in their promising career.

LORD STANL.

EY'S FAREWELL TO LYNN.

The farewell address of Lord Stanley to the borough
which he represented for twenty-one years, and the only
constituency to which he was ever indebted for a seat in
'the House of Commons, is as follows :—"To the Electors
of King's Lynn.—Gentlemen, —lt is with feelings
of deep regret that t address you for the
last time. The political connection which during
nearly twenty-one years has existed between us is
severed, and it will no longer be my duty and my pleasure'
as formerly, to represent you in the House of Commons'
or to speak to you face to face, as one of your members, on
the public events of the day, but to the last hour of DV
life there will remain with me the recollection of your
unshaken confidence and unvarying kindness, of the per"
sonal courtesy which I have met from men of all classes
and parties, and of the indulgence which overlooked
many shortcomings in one whom you believed to be
endeavouring to the best of his power to serve you.
Accept, Gentlemen, this imperfect expression of sincere
and lasting gratitude, and with it my best wishes for the
future presperiiy of yuur ancient and independent borough•
To your local interests, so far as it may be in my power
to serve them in the new sphere of action to which I and
called, I shall never be indifferent. I remain, Gentlemen,
your obliged and obedient, servant, STANLEY. Knowsley,

AUSTRIA AND TURKEY.

The Constitutionnel denies the statement that Austria
had asked permission from the Porte for the passage of her
troops across Montenegrin territory. The demand, it affirms
was never made, and consequently the rumoured protest of
Russia is entirely a fabrication. The Constitutionnel re-
minds it 3 readers that the Viennese Cabinet was the first
to uphold the independence of Montenegro, and would not
therefore be likely to adopt so different a policy. The Xorth
EastCorrespon deneethinks that both the Turkish and Austrian
Governments, however deeply interested in the repression
of the insurrection in Dalmatia, will take good care not to
incur a worse evil by bringing the Eastern question upon
the tapis—an event which would inevitably follow any
interference with Montenegro.

KING'S LYNN.

Mr. Young, late M.P. for Cambridgeshire, has
accepted the invitation of the Liberal working men
of Lynn, and will, accordingly, contest the vacant
seat with Lord Claud Hamilton. When Mr. Young
was last in Parliament he described himself as a
Liberal, but independent of party. Working
men, however, require something stronger than this,
and, therefore, Mr. Young is now a Liberal, and will
g!ve "a cordial support to Mr. Gladstone." Mr.
Young is in favour of the Ballot. The refusal of the
Government to release the Fenian prisoners is grati-
tifying to him. With respect to the land question,
"the removal of all just complaints on the part of the
cultivators of Ireland" will be an object of his
" earnest attention." It is worthy of note that in
this respect Mr. Young follows the example of almost
all his political brethren. Scarcely any M.P.'s, or
would-be M.P.'s have put forth a definite plan for the
settlement of the land question.

50 UTIIWAB

The wer-A*3l., en of this metropolitan borough are
already active; tud at a meeting held on Wednesday
evening it was resolved to request Mr. Odger to come
forward. The ex-candidate for Chelsea was present,
and stated that his acceptance of the invitation
depended a good deal on the decision of a meeting to
be held in Bouverie-street. The paramount ques-
tion, expense, will undoubtedly be a barrier to the
success of a working man's candidate, for it is impos-
sible to contest a borough of such magnitude
South-
wark without a considerable amount.nitude as
of money. At
Stafford, where Mr. Odger went to a preliminary poll
with three other Liberals, only £62 was spent in his
candidature ; but then it must be remembered that
Southwark contains about sixteen times, as many
inhabitants. At the same ratio Mr. Odger would
have to expend nearly a thousand pounds.

FOREIG.IsT
,NOTES.

TEE AUSTE,TA..NT DIETS.

Th 3 Provisional Diets of Cisteithan latistria have most
of them concluded their sessions. Their deliberations
have not realised the wishes of the Government. The
Tyrolean Diet has been dissolved on account of its resis-
tance to Liberal innovations. The Bohemian Diet has
voted an address which accepts the laws of December 1867
as the sole basis of the pelitical existence of the empire and
of the kingdom of Bohemia. The Gallician Diet is about
to pass an address condemning those very laws, and
renewing its last year's demand for a separate and national
existence for Austrian Poland. The Emperor will
undoubtedly find it a difficult task to reconcile such con-
flicting wishes.

THE MURDER IN ITALY.

The recent murder in a railway carriage near Isoletta
is still creating much excitement in Italy. The victim
was the Countess Amanda Cottaneo, and was known to
be mixel up in revolutionary affairs. her father, the
deputy De Pietro, was assassinated two years since. The
Countess, who is described as young and beautiful, has
been wandering about Southern Italy, and lately lived at
Nola. While there, her supposed murderer, a man
named Negri, fired a pistol at her, and by the advice of
her friends she left the place for Naples. She
was accompanied by three gentlemen who did not
perceive that Negri was in the same train, and they
accordingly took leave of her at Caserta, believing her to
be safe. On the arrival of the train at Isoletta, however,
the dead body of the Countess was found in the carriage,
her hands being cut with glass and the window broken.
Political motives are assigned for the murder, with which
it is said jealousy had also something to do. The murderers
of M. Inghirami, the Austrian Consul of Livarno, have
been all released. It is said that the jury feared to con•
vict them, dreading that they might themselves run the
risk of the dagger.

TRIESTE.

For some time past Trieste, which may be regarded as
the commercial metropolis of Austria, has been disturbed
by riots that have broken out on the slightest
pretext. On the 10th of this month, on the
occasion of drawing lots for the militiamen, the
town was in a stste of distraction all day, and it was found
necessary to give up the ceremony. These disturbances
are supposed to be instigated by the Italian party in
Trieste, which possesses a large share of popular sym-
pathy.

PORTUGAL.

The Ministerial crisis in Portugal is due, it seems, to a
financial difficulty. M. de Samodaes, the Financial
Minister, had succeeded, in spite of very strong opposi-
tion, in obtaining the consent of the Chambers to a loan
of £4,000,000. They had also agreed to the increase of the'
personal tax and of the laud tax, but they refused to sanction
an increase of 50 per cent, on the tax on manufactures,
The Bishop of Visen, the Minister of the Interior, also
disapproved of this measure. M. de Samoclaes, under these
circumstances, became uneasy as to his balance•sbcet, and
tendered his resignation, which brought about the
resignation of the whole Cabinet.
London, England, 1869-08-16

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

A correspondent of the . Western Moining News
calls attention to a subject which ere long is likely to
occupy a great share of public discussion. Ile enu-
merates a list of what he aptly terms " the good
things of the Church," commencing with the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury's princely income of £15,000
a year. The highest sum enjoyed by any bishop
is that of the holder of the present see of Winchester,
which " A Layman" estimates at £10,500 per annum,
although it should be mentioned that during the
discussion in the House of Commons on the Bishops'
Resignation Bill, the yearly income of Bishop Sum-
ner was variously estimated at from £lB,OOO to
£30,000 a year. The Bishop of Sodor and Man
stands lowest in the monetary scale, his salary being
£2,000, whilst the Bishop of Exeter's is £2,700.
Altogether there are two archbishops and 26 bishops
whose yearly income is £145,400 ; 28 deans, with a
yearly income of £38,320 ; and 120 canons, receiving
£82,427, making a total of £266,147. " A Layman"
contends that .no curate should receive less than
£2OO a year, but fears that such a change
will not take place, except under the dis-
endowment of the Church as it at present stands.
"Of course," he adds, "it would be a Government
question, and could only be brought about by the
force of public opinion." Two or threw years ago
the disestablishment of the Irish Church would have
been treated as an Utopian idea. Such a social
revolution has not only been accomplished peacefully,
but we now see the most zealous friends of the Church
of England insisting that she shall put her house in
order to avoid total destruction.
London, England, 1869-08-16

ARMY AND NAVY GOSSIP.

The Army and Nary Gazette hears that Vice-
Admiral Sir Thomas Symonds is not over well
pleased at being superseded in the command of his
fleet, even temporarily, by Mr. Childers, who will
take the lead during his trip to the Mediterranean.
But the profe”,ional journal has no sympathy with
Sir Thomas, for Mr. Childers will be accompanied by
the Senior Sea Lord, and will thus be preserved from
any errors in which be might indulge. Did any-
body expect that the First Lord would attempt
to manceuvra the flee; P—A rumour is alloat
that the Nelson Statue, in Trafalgar-spare, is
condemned. The whole erection, lions and all, are,
it is said, to be removed to Greenwich.—Whilst
there is such an outcry about the slowness of pro-
motion in the non-purchase corps, a correspondent
writes to complain that the purchase corps are not a
whit better oft in this respect. In one regiment, for
example, the senior lieutenant has twelve years'
service, and has no immediate hope of his step, as
there is a supernumerary captain. if he does not
get his promotion, it will cost him 1.:1,700, on which
his pay will represent a return of 8 per cent.
