THE EXPLORATIONS IN PALESTINE.

Mr. Grove has published a letter just received
from Lieutenant Warren, who is conducting the ex-
plorations in Palestine, giving an interesting account
of his recent discoveries. lle has succeeded in ex-
amining a cistern situated in the little garden at the
i
laram Area at Jerusalem, and on getting down into
it, and lighting the magnesium wire, he was
astonished to find himself in a large substructure,
which he at first thought was a church, similar to
the cathedral at Cordova. It is 03 feet from north
to south, .57 feet from east to west, having nine rec-
tangular bays, joined by four piers, from which
spring arches. In the south wall is a stair-
case, leading up to the surface:of the Haram, which
has been open within memory. Two other openings
lead up to other entrances. Lieutenant Warren
could not divest himself of the impression that he
had got into a church, the vaults were so unlike any
known tanks in Jerusalem. lie found it impossible
to believe that such a structure was built merely for
a tank. - Some large stones were found huddled
together at the bottom of the water, which the
discoverers think are evidence of the roof having
fallen in and been replaced. Further details of
this curious structure are given by Lieutenant
Warren, and the dis affords interesting proof
covery
of the intelligence and enterprise of our explorers.

scorr'S BILIOUS and LIVER
PILLS.—A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY.—Pre-
pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe
of Dr. Scott, Bromley, Kent, will be found invaluable to
all who suffer from bilious and liver complaints, indiges-
tion, wind, spasms, giddiness, dizziness of the eyes, &c.
For habitual costiveness, as a family aperient medicine,
and as a purifier of the blood, they are truly excellent ' •
mild in their operation and grateful to the stomach; they
create appetite, promote digestion, and strengthen the
whole nervous system.—Prepared only and sold by W.
Lambert, chemist, 8, King
William-street, Oharing.cross,
London, and by most druggists, in boxes, ls. lid., and
three times the quantity in one, 2s. 9d. Be sure to ask for
Dr. Scott's Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine are a
square green package, with " William Lambert" engraved
on the stamp.

mR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve tooth i hat aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful m masti-
cation.

RUSSIA.

An extraordinary sect, named the Skoptsii, which
adopts a barbarous mutilation as a portion of its rites, is
exciting much attention in Russia. The Government has
long been striving to exterminate this community, but its
great wealth, according to the Libertj, has hitherto enabled
it to escape. Its members seem to add their fortunes
together to form a common fund, which is intended to sub-
vert the present rule, establish a new kingdom in Russia,
and commence a new era in which Skoptsii principles are
to prevail. This seems to be the immediate object of the
organisation. Several arrests have been made, and in the
vaults of the leader's house at St. Petersburg the sum of
£1,600,000 was found concealed.

SPAIN.

The Provisional Government's term of office expired
as soon as the Cortes was constituted. This latter pro-
cess has been going on since the opening of the Chamber,
and is now complete. In view of the coining change an
important meeting of the majority has been held, and it
has been resolved that Marshal Serrano be entrusted with
the formation of a new Cabinet, embodying the sovereign
executive power. It is expected that most of the members
of the Provisional Government will take office in the new
Ministry. In fact, the formation of a Cabinet will be little
more than a matter of form ; the course of administration
will not be interrupted.

THE CHANGE IN THE MUSICAL PITCH.

The Hon. Seymour Egerton writes to the Times
respecting the adoption of one ri4pl'''";--1
=a musical world, and sums up the arguments he has
heard for and against the prvosed change. Vocalists
would be the gainers by it ; and alti, contralti,. and
basses have shewn no repugnance to the idea.
Singing-masterg agree with them) while conductors
will be thankful for tthiformity. Mr. Egerton; who
has no slight experience in this direction, says that
only those who have had the direction of from
twenty to sixty gentlemen amateurs, each with his
own pet A, can know what a relief a "diapason
normal" would be. It has been said that the violins
will lose brilliancy by the lowered pitch, but Mr.
Seymour has been assured that they will speak out
more richly from being able to carry heavier strings.
The flutes, oboes, and their kindred in the French
orchestras, cannot be surpassed for tone and finish,
and the same may be said of the family of brass
instruments. Mr. Egerton holds that the objection
of increased expense consequent upon the change of
pitch will not be irremediable, and he is extremely
anxious that one uniform standard should be agreed
upon.

THE VICTUALLERS PREPARING FOIL BATTLE.

The victuallers have formed a DefencebLtreaargtueer,
which seems to be of rather an aggressive c In fact,
judging from the speeches of its members.
chairman of the recent Conference at M
its motto should be " Defiance, not Defence,"
a fair specimen of the rest. He said that " a great
deal of tinkering was being attempted with the trade
anl'leisfterthies
of the licensed victuallers at the present time, from
one side or another : and, inasmuch as the licensing
system was acknowledged on all hands not to be
perfect, they must make a bold front, and let the
Legislature know, by their presence in Parliament,
that the interests of the trade must be consulted
previous to any legislation taking place." Ile
declared that the origin of all the evils to which the
victuallers were now exposed was the power of the
Excise to grant licenses to beerhoases, and that if this
power were taken away and the magistrates made
the only licensing authority, the victuallers would
be protected, and ih3 Sabbatarians and the
teetotalers would be pacified. The speaker
sheaved himself profoundly ignorant of the
question he was discussing. Ile did not know that
the teetotalers, at all events, distrust the magis-
trates more than anyoe, and demand that the ques-
tion of licensing shall lie decided by the ratenforerS.
The secretary of the Defence Association gave figures
by way of shelving that there may be too much of a
good thing—too much beer even, and that something
ought to be done to stop the increase of beershops
where beer is sold at any hour, day or
night, working days or Sundays. There were
for instance 23G of such houses in Sheffield alone, not
reckoning the grocers and the provision shops.
Another speaker lamented that in the Staffordshire
colliery districts a man could sit down under the
hedgerow and drink beer ad libitum. It was generally
agreed that the licensed victuallers were the patterns
of society, and that they were most unfairly visited
with the sins of those low fellows the beershop men.
No doubt the stories about gin palaces where drunken
mothers pour liquid fire down their infants' throats
are all a delusion.

The Pall Mall Gazette declares that before we
put clown intemperance we must put down temper-
ance advocates, because they cannot distinguish
between drinking and drunkenness. Unfortunately
they are not the only persons who are unable to
make this distinction. There are, as we learn from
the Alliance News, 450,000 paupers through drink
or drunkenness—we and they cannot tell which ;
there are 60,000 persons slain every year through
drink or drunkenness, 43,000 lunatics through
drink or drunkenness, and, say, 130,000 criminals
incited to crime through drink or drunkenness.
De minimis non curat lex doubtless, only how about
this great army ? Surely that is worth the con-
sideration of the law and of lawgivers, and almost
of the Pall Mall Gazette.

TIIE PAYMENT OF JURORS.

We are very fond of anomalies. If a jury have a
particularly hard case to discuss and settle, and can't
get over its difficulties, we shut them up without
meat or drink in order that the use of the digestive
organs may not impair the activity of the brain.
When a special jury has to take a verdict in about
two hours they have a guinea for their trouble;
when they have to sit day after day to
investigate some such' particularly delicate question
as that of the convent case, we pay them for their
services with the same coin. It may be very inadvis-
able to pay juries at all, it may be reckoned as part
of every man's duty as a citizen to " sit, hear, and
decide," when called upon ; but if we do pay a man
for his trouble, why do we mock him by giving him
a guinea for a fortnight's work P But then that is
one of the bulwarks of the British Constitution.

A YEAR OP DROUGHT.

The British Medical Journal publishes an article
on " The Year of Drought," which will, we imagine,
effectually put a stop to the scheme for bringing the
waters of the Cumberland Lakes into London. It
appears that while during last summer London was
abundantly supplied with water, 106 to 113 million
gallons daily being poured into the metropolis, the Lan-
cashire towns, and even a town closely adjoining the
Lakes, were in the utmost distress for want of water.
Every kind of device was resorted to by the local
authorities to secure a supply of water for even the
most urgent purposes of life. On the one hand, the
use of water for sanitary purposes was entirely pro-
hibited. There were no flushings of sewers or
urinals ; no washings of streets or courts ; no
employment of water baths ; and even for trade
and manufacturing purposes the supply was reduced
to about half. On the other hand, with a view of
increasing the supply, the neighbouring rivers were
resorted to ; water was purchased from millowners ;
old wells that had been abandoned on account of
their objectionable quality were again brought into
nse ; and in one case the inhabitants gladly received
the drainage-water from a colliery. The marvel is
that cholera or some other virulent disease
did not break out in those towns. Probably the
immunity was due to the drainage works which
were constructed under the Public Works Act of
1863 ; in other words, Lancashire may have owed its
freedom from pestilence to the cotton famine. It
would seem almost as if another famine were needed
in order to induce the people of Lancashire to con-
struct suitable waterworks. However that may be,

CANADA.

The measures for the incorporation of the Hudson's
Bay territory with the dominion of Canada move slowly
onwards. The Canadian delegates have sent to Earl
Granville their reply to the claim of the Hudson's
Bay Company for a large money payment. The
Canadian News understands that this reply cha-
racterises the " territorial rights " of the company
as utterly untenable. It concludes with the request that
her Majesty's Government will now take the.necessary
steps to transfer Rupert's' Land to the Dominion on the
terms already offered by the Canadian Parliament. As
we have previously mentioned, Canada offers very little
money payment.

THREE LORD CHANCELLORS.

Mr. M. D. Hill has taken some trouble to expose
the inaccuracies in Lord Campbell's "Lives of Lords
Brougham and Lyndhurst," especially with regard
to Lord Brougham's relations with the Useful Know-
ledge Society. Lord Campbell affirms that the
society became bankrupt owing to the publication,
at its own risk, of Lord Brougham's " Political
Philosophy." Mr. Hill has obtained full particulars
of the affair from the gentleman who was secretary
to the society up to the time of its suspension, which
was in the year 1846, three years later than the issue
of the " Political Philosophy." The society was never
bankrupt, and gained rather than lost by the publi-
cation in question. The reason for the suspension
of its operations is easily found in the vast increase
in the general publication of good and cheap litera-
ture adapted to all classes.

TUE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.

The most lamentable muddle into which our
railways got through paying dividends out of their
capital, has not restrained the directors of the
Metropolitan Railway from entering on the same
path. But happily shareholders—some of them at
least—are more watchful than they were years ago.
So the Metropolitan has been stopped at the outset
by an order from Vice-Chancellor James. Tho
result of this will be that the shareholders will have
to content themselves with 41 per cent. instead of 7.
But 4-1., with the knowledge that things are going
sight, is better than 10 with bankruptcy ahead.
