THE WHITTON MURDER.

The Windsor Express asserts that the 'Whitton murderer
was Edwards, the Cato-street spy. As a reward for his
services the Government found employment for him in the
stamping department of Somerset House, from which
establishment, upon his retirement, he received a super-
annuation of £66 13s. 4d. per annum. During the
time he was at Somerset House he was remarkable
among his fellow employes as a very irritable man. He
was greatly annoyed by the allusions frequently made by
his colleagues to the part he took in connection with the
Cato-street conspiracy, and the Lords of the
Treasury of the day issued an order threatening
with dismissal any employe who persisted in doing
so. The annoyance continuing, however, Edwards left
London and came down toWindsor,where, having a taste for
carving figures in stone, he took a house at Eton and used
to imitate the ancient grotesque carving of 'Windsor Castle
and Eton College, and sell his productions to visitors and
the Eton boys as antiquities. Mr. Charles Knight in his
autobiography speaks of Edwards as having a face "which
said he was a rogue by nature. He was a diminutive animal
with democrat looks and stealthy face, and seemed capable
of any evil."

GREAT FIRE AT PEKING.

A great fire has occurred at Peking, by which a wing of
the Emperor's palace has been totally destroyed. Unfor-
tunately this wing contained large stores of books and
blocks for printing. Its name occurs in all books painted
at the Emperor's charge for two centuries. It was in this
part of the palace that the great work Tu-shu-chi-cheng,
of which a single copy costs £5OO sterling, was printed
with copper movable types at the beginning of the 18th
century. These types were afterwards melted into cash,
an act for which the Emperor of that date was afterwards
very penitent. In this wing the rare and valuable collec-
tion of works known as the Si-ku was attached. The loss
is not yet fully known.

rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zurnstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-

THE AMERICAN DEBT.

A telegram from New York promises us an interest..
ing little experiment in finance. It is said that the
Messrs. Rothschild have offered the United States
Government at 4 per cent. interest, a loan suffi-
cient to pay off all the National Debt. The
proceeding will be remarkable certainly ; but
the report has a suspicious look about it The
American debt is now about 600 millions of our
money, and most of it is at 6 per cent., indcod the
-Present quotations allow considerably more than 0.
What, . therefore, would the Rothschilds gain by
advancing the whole sum at 4 per cent., unless they
had a special commission; and if so, what would the
United States gain P

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES INTO DEBENTURE
STOCK.

The Directors are now prepared to enter into arrange-
ments for converting the Debentures of the Company into
equivalent amounts of Perpetual Four per Cent. Deben-
ture Stock, and also to receive applications for allotments
of the same Stock, at par, to be applied in the repayment
of Debentures falling due.
Any amount of Stock, not being a fraction of a pound,
can be subscribed for and transferred.

A commission of s (one-half) per cent. is allowed to ap-
plicants, and the Stock will be inscribed in the Company's
books free of all expense.
The interest will be paid half-yearly on the 15th Jan-
nary and 15th July, by warrant.
The Stock thus raised will be entitled to the same
priority against the property and income of the Company
as the Debenture Bond Debt, ranking before the Com-
pany's entire Stock and Share Capital of Thirty Millions
(ao,000,000), and will be the first charge on a net income
now amounting to upwards of Three Millions (£5,000,000)
annually.

obtained by letter addressed to the undersigned.

TURNED OUT TO DIR.

There was a curious story, one hard to pass judg-
ment upon, related on Saturday last before one of
the metropolitan coroners. A woman, the wife 61 L
labourer out of employment, was confined oh the
30th ult.. in the City of London Hospital. Sho was
seized within a few days with puerperal fever—an
infectious disease—and became very noisy, so that
those with her in the ward were not able to rest. She was
kept in the hospital until the fever left her, but was
then as quickly as possible dismissed. The removal
to her home was too much for her ; she relapsed into
a state of coma, never rallied, and died insensible.
The hospital doctor defended the removal, though
what his defence consisted of does not appear. The
jury, however, were convinced by it, and returned a
verdict of " Death from natural causes."

" "L'UOM3I:E QUI nIT."

A. lively controversy is going on between Mr. E. S.
Dallas and a Times reviewer respecting the merits
of the English translation of M. Victor Hugo's famous
work, " L'llomme Qui Rit." The reviewer says the
version is indifferent; Mr. Dallas, who edited a
journal in which part of the translation appears,
claims that it is as perfect as any rendering of Victor
llugo well can be. This may be true, but still the
translation is indifferent. The fact is that such a
book as M. Hug.o's last cannot be rendered perfectly.
The style is so idiomatic and difficult that hundreds
of passages lose their significance with the change of
language. Moreover, very many lengthy extracts
must be left out in block, simply because their nasti-
ness will not bear reproduction. An English transla-
tion of Victor Hugo is as unsatisfactory as a French
version of Shalisnere.

[..ktmEnTnEmENT.l—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
The family medicine chest that is furnished with these
powerful medicines needs nothing more. Indigestion,
general debility, liver complaint, eruptions, sores, wounds,
ulcers, tumours, &c, are infallibly cured by their use.
They purify the blood, and give tone aed vigour to the
whole system. The ointment, when well rubbed into the
parts affected, enters the flesh just as salt enters meat, an
if the pills be taken as au auxiliary, the cure is speedy,
thorough, and permanent. These medicaments are com-
posed of rare balsams, without the admixture of a grain-of,
mercury or any hilarious substance. They are peculiarly
mild and gentle in their action, end are as safe as they aro
efficacious.

entirely depopulated. The famine tract is surrounded by
native States, the inhabitants of which close their doors
against the unfortunate people, on the principle that it is
the duty of each State to keep its resources to itself. In
the month of September, twelve months after the com-
mencement of the famine, the prospect was very dark.
Few of the inhabitants have money left to buy food with
were grain procurable. They cannot leave the country,
and must stay where they are, and weather the famine as
best they can.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.

The Protestant missionaries in China have addressed a
letter to Sir Rutherford Alcock, in reply to his despatch
respecting them. They declare tbat until China is
thoroughly revolutionised foreign intercourse of any kind
will be dangerous to individuals, and occasion difficulties
with the Governments. They ask only that so long as they
cannot be proved to be breaking the laws of China no
hinclrancemisrSethrown in the way of ChristianiEs,ll7.
in the long run they believe even the " material interests'
of Great Britain will be advanced by this course.

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to-purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would bo able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.
Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea-
surer,F.S.Vorris, Esq., Shadwell; or by

THE ANTI-PICKPOCKET SOCIETY.

The imagination has given to London much that it
does not possess ; but does not often bestow upon it a
more interesting profession than that which has been
discovered (probably in his inner consciousness) by
an artistic correspondent of an Anglo-French
journal. We are by him informed of a
new association, one formed, it would appear,
to raise the dead level of the labour depres-
sion. The society calls itself "Anti-pickpocket,' and
its object is to keep the public thoroughly awake to
the danger run in the streets. The modus operandi is
as follows :—A young man—the operator—takes
away a gentleman's handkerchief from his pocket if
possible without his knowledge; returns it to him; and
in so doing opens his coat showing by a label on his
breast that ho is an anti-pickpocket. The gentleman
may be supposed in honour to pay the man who has
roused his wits ; and thus while the real pick-
pocket's work becomes more difficult, his opponent
obtains a living. There is, no doubt, something to'be
said on the part of this new " honest trade ; ' still
we would rather keep our handkerchiefs in our
pockets, and decidedly object to be taxed for having
our own things given back to us. It is with relief,
therefore, that we learn that nobody knows anything
of the new association but the writer in the Inter-
national.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR YORK.

The Eastern Morning .Nezcs reports a serious and fatal
—llision which took place on Wednesday on the York and
Scarborough line, near to the Strensall Station, seven
miles from York. The usual slow afternoon train from
Scarborough to York, due at 5.30, arrived st Stren-
sall at the proper time. On approaching that station
the driver of the train noticed on the line for York a
coal train, with two or three cattle trucks attached
to the end of it. The back signal was up, but from some
unexplained cause the driver of the passenger train was
unable to pull up in time, and the engine dashed into the
tail of the coal and cattle train. The shock caused by the
collision was severe. Some of the passengers were
knocked about and shaken, and one gentleman, Mr. Henry
Newman, of Birmingham, a commercial traveller, in the
jewellery line, was very seriously cut and bruised. A
cattle drover of the name of Pearson was killed,

CARDINAL CULLEN'S DENUNCIATION
OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS.

Cardinal Cullen, in a letter on the opening of a
Christian Brothers' school in Dublin, discusses the model
school system of the national board. His objections to it
are that "children professing different religions, and holding
doctrines directly opposed to each other, are admitted to
the same school, and then, in order to keep these diszor-
dant elements from breaking out into continual conten-

tions, the mention of every religion principle is prohibited,
with the exception of those fow things in which all agree.
Hence everything specially Catholic is banished from the
school ; a child is not allowed to bless himself or say
a prayer, though Christ says we should always pray ; he
is not taught the obligation of going to mass or receiving
the sacraments ; he is not instructed in the duty of
believing in and obeying the one Holy Catholic Church."
The masters, also, " may be of every religion—Catholics,
Presbyterians, Anglicans, Soc'nians, Arians, Swaddlers,
and some, probably, of no religion at all. A Catholic
child will observe this Babel, and, perhaps, may be driven
to doubt about the truth of every religion when he sees his
teachers divided upon so important a matter." Cardinal
Cullen declares that " the whole system, as carried
on in the model schools, is replete with danger, and well
calculated to undermine the foundation of Catholic faith."
He finally urges the taking away of children from the
model schools, and adds :—" I have had occasion to speak
of ecclesiastical penalties, but I am now so convinced of the
evils of the model school system, that I give notice to any
Catholic parents who will obstinately persevere in keeping
their children in the lion's den, in the midst of danger,
that I will feel bound to deprive them of the advantages
of the sacraments of the Church until they make up their
minds to act as parents anxious for the eternal salvation
of their hildren ought to act. Those who `sacrifice their
little ones to Moloch' shew themselves to be unworthy of
the benefits of absolution."
London, England, 1869-09-03

ENGLAND'S DOOM.

The Rev. Charles Stirling, vicar of New Malden
and Coombe, seems to have taken up the mantle of
interpretation which Dr. Cumming has let fall in his
desire to go to Rome and convert Antichrist. Actum
est de republied, or, in plain English, it is all up with
us. Mr. Stirling sees traces of national decay on
every band. Cur history since the Reformation
bears a striking analogy to the history of the
Jews from the Exodus to the Babylonish captivity
—a most humiliating comparison, for the Jews took
a period of nearly 800 years to ruin themselves,
whereas we, it seems, have come to the verge of
destruction in 300. Our national power has declined
until we are an object of contempt to all Europe.
Count Bismarck speaks lightly of us : which is rather
foolish of that Minister, for had not England subsi-
dised Frederick the Great it is probable that the Prus-
sian monarchy would never have had any e.:istence
And what is the cause of this abject position of
England ? In Mr. Stirling's opinion it is our " con-
cessions" to Popery. The Irish famine was the
immediate consequence of giving Maynooth £27,000
a year. The disasters in the Crimea were
caused through oar permitting the :English
army to take over Roman Catholic priests. The
sacrifice of Denmark, and the recent proposal to give
up Gibraltar were the result of concessions to Popery.
Mr. Stirling believes in omen :
" On the very day that her Majesty gave her assent to
the Maynooth Bill, and closed the Parliament in person,
the Royal Standard at Windsor was blown down, and the
crown of Queen Victoria was let fall, and its splendid
jewels were scattered on the ground ! I regard these
remarkable incidents as ominous of the approaching break-
up of the Empire.
The gentleman who talks in this way is a vicar anct
has a certain number of intellects and souls under
his care.
