LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
'frying coughs, colds, confirmed ceases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepar'd only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 1314., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

TILE COUING BILL.

The journals which aro supposed to most nearly
represent the policy of the Governments wrote pro-
fusely about the Irish land question at first, but,
after involvinc, themselves in an inextricable maze of
bewilderment,' they gave it up. It was dull and
puzzling. For some time past the Times and the
Telegraph have contained very little editorial
effusion on the tenure problem. At length,
however, the Telegraph comes out once more,
and, strange to say, advocates cautiously the
remedy which has lately passed out of general favour
a good deal—the legalisation of the Ulster tenant-
right. "The practical conclusion that the bill will offer
the Irish tenant security of tenure is scarcely open to
question. Security of tenure is but another name for
tenant-right, and, indeed, the task of the Govern-
ment might be described as the framing of a measure
to declare that right." What a world of trouble
would have been saved if the oracles had stuck to
this simple remedy from the first.

3IERIONETIISHIIIE.

Mr. David Williams, M.P. for Merionethshire, who
has just died, was a great local magnate in his county.
He was a deputy-lieutenant, and a magistrate for the
counties of Merioneth and Carnarvon. He became
High Sheriff for the former county in 1841, and for
Carnarvon in 1842. Mr. Williams was born in 1801,
but only entered Parliament last December, after
fighting two unsuccessful battles. His pro-
gramme followed the advanced Liberal type. He
supported Mr. Gladstone, and declared in favour of
the Ballot, education by compulsory rates, and open
universities. Owing to ill-health, Mr. Williams voted
only once during his Parliamentary career—on the
second reading of the Irish Church )3ill.

ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE OPINION OP MR. DISRAELI.
Many politicians think Mr. Gladstone a dangerous
man, others hold a similar opinion of Mr. Disraeli;
but Lord Henry Thynne, supposed to be the Conserva-
tive member for South Wilts, upholds his complete
independence of party, and condemns both gentlemen.
At an agricultural dinner in Dorset he declared that
he would never have anything to do with " ally
unnatural conjunction of Conservatives with Fenians;"
he would go only with " the moderate part), ; " and
if Mr. Dizzy—he meant Mr. Disraeli—joined the
Fenians, he should walk over to the other side of the
House. Lord Henry does not admire Mr. Disraeli.

MILITARY MEN AND CIVIL TRIBUNALS.

The Dawkins-Paulet case, and the division in
opinion amongst the judges respecting its proper
decision, has naturally given rise to much comment.
Lieutenant-Colonel Dawkins, formerly of the Cold-
stream Guards, sued Lord Frederick Paulet, com-
manding, the brigade of Guards, for libel, alleging
that, in consequence of the reports made
by Lord Frederick to the Adjutant-General
o? the Army, he had been compelled to
leave the regiment, and had suffered accor-
dingly in character and estate. For the defen-
dant it was answered that the reports in ques-
tion were made in the ordinary and regular discharge
of professional duty, and must therefore be privileged.
Upon this arose the curious point whether the law
debarred Colonel Dawkins from seeking redress in a
civil court. The Lord Chief Justice held that it did
not; but the other judges argued that the members
of the army voluntarily submitted themselves to a
code of laws which provided special courts, and they
ought to abide by their decisions. It was true that the
military tribunals can award no compensation; but that
defect lay in the law itself, and was beyond the power of
the judges. The Times coincides with the majority
which so decided the judgment. It, moreover,
argues that no change ought to bo made in the law—
that is, that officers ought not to be allowed recourse
to civil tribunals on account of matters which have
passed in the ordinary course of business. "It may.
certainly happen that a wrong for which a civil
court would have granted a remedy might remain
unredressed by military tribunals ; but it is hardly
to be doubted, we think, that military duty
would be seriously obstructed if every officer
had the prospect of a lawsuit before him as
a consequence of orders given or reports made."
The Telegraph, on the other hand, acorns to hold
with the Lord Chief Justice, that injustice may arise
thriugh an officer having no remedy at a civil
tribunal, and that a change in the law is needed.

THE WELSH FASTING GIRL.

So far as may be judged, the Welsh Fasting Girl
case is coming slowly to an end. The poor creature,
plump and healthy only lately, is getting weaker and
thinner day by day. This fact suggests a startling
question as to the nurses, and the committee of
physicians, who are watching her. Are they justified
in withholding food when they see the effects of
abstinence upon her ? What if the girl should die ?
Can anyone anticipate the verdict of the coroner's
jury ? It is all very well, as the Daily News says,
that science should have its martyrs, and, of course,
fraud and superstition will have their victims ; but
which will this poor girl be if she should perish under
the eyes of these nurses, and die of starvation ? It is
not an impossible thing that the child may
be unable to ask for food, that fear may restrain
her. And if she die under these circumstances, " Felo
de se " would hardly meet the case ; natural causes
would not have produced the death ; it could not be
said to have proceeded from an =if. .nt. The " Visi-
tation of the Nurses," not the " Visitation of God,"
will be the proper verdict, and that means man-
slaughter.

THE PREMIER AND UNIVERSITY TESTS.

In his reply to deputations from Oxford and
Cambridge on the subject of University Tests, the
Premier expressed himself unable to promise a
measure next session. But Mr. Gladstone certainly
was pretty precise in his declarations of opinion.
There were three points, be said, on which he was
agreed with the memorialists :—let, That the time
had arrived when this question ought to be settled
by some legislative enactment ; 2nd, That it should
be by a compulsory, and not by a permissive mea-
sure ; and, 3rd, that it should be made a Government
measure. This statement at all events sketches out
clearly the intentions of the Government. .
London, England, 1869-12-17

THE PROGRESS OF AGITATION.

Two meetings of the Tenant-right League have
just been held in Dublin. The speakers were very
much of the old type ; but Mr. Butt's remarks present
two noticeable points. In the first place, though
he once advocated the system of assuming
sixty years' leases in all cases of occupation
for three years, he now goes in for fixity
of tenure, not because he has changed his
views, but because the Irish will not now be satisfied
with leases. In the second place, Mr. Butt affirmed,
and others agreed with him, that no measure would
give satisfaction unless it were preceded by the
release of the Fenians. The ieea of demanding more
because what was once asked has not been granted,
is essentially Irish. The Sybilline books are no pre-
cedent for modern doings.

DEDRY DOINGS.
The magistrates at Londonderry are making
efforts to curtail the uproarious pleasures of the
Apprentice Boys. They have passed a. resolution
that the ", Boys " must dispense with music and
banners, and must " burn Lundy anywhere but at
Walker's Pillar." These restrictions have raised a
mournful howl. It is all very well for the magistrates
to say that they " will not interfere with the
saaLa ihB rtrturfk...-n•r4 " NX71..4. —.:11 ,_ A, •

of the prograinufe, if the time-honouree music, dze.,
be taken away ? Why, nothing but the
march to churdh. Will the Apprentice Boys accept
such a degrading compromise ? The watchful _Derry
Sentinel hopes not. " Whatever course the Govern-
ment may pursue, whether one of wisdom or one of
infatuation, the Apprentice Boys, conscious of the
rectitude of their cause, and satisfied that their cele-
brations are legal, are prepared to meet the issue.
The grave responsibility will rest upon the heads of
the Irish Government it any lives be lost on the 18th."
This patriotic and pompous declaration means in plain
English that the Boys are to make all the disturbance
they please, insult Catholics as much as they please,
and it the Government interfere with this righteous
procedure, the consequences must recoil on the wicked

MISCELLANEOUS.
London, England, 1869-12-17

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

Mr. Bright has made a little appointment of which
most pcople will heartily approve. He has given Mr.
E. Stanley Jones, son of the late Mr. Ernest Jones, a
temporary clerkship in the Registrar-General of
Seamen's Office. This is a just and kind action. The
late Mr. Ernest Jones found more adversaries than
friends ; be was much in advance of his time—though
he would not have been now ; but ho made great
sacrifices for his principles, and his name merits
respect. His conduct in giving up worldly things for
his convictions contrasts most forcibly with the life
of those who have systematically given up their
convictions for worldly things, and have profited
thereby.

TILE LATE MB. PEABODY.

The Monarch and the Plymouth were still detained
on Wednesday off Spithead with the remains of Mr.
Peabody, the state of the weather being such that it
was impossible for the vessels to get away. They hoped
to leave the next day. The American House of Repre-
sentatives has unanimously introduced a resolution
announcing the death of the great philanthropist,
and reciting the honours paid him by her Majesty,
the London authorities, the French Emperor, and
others, and also the extraordinary
.preparations for
the transfer of his remains to America. The Presi-
dent has been authorised to detach several ships of
war to meet the European convoy at sea. The
reception of the corpse in America will be alike
solemn and grand.

PRUSSIA.

The Chamber of Deputies at Berlin, after two days of
discussion, has adopted with slight modifications the law on
the consolidation of the debt, by a majority of 114. A singular
feature in the discussion was that the scheme was alter-
nately attacked and defended by speakers belonging to the
same party. Conservatives and Liberals were alike
divided upon it. A rumour was put in circulation
that Count Bismarck disapproved of the plan,
and accordingly the Ministerial paper, the 11-orth
German Gazette, announced that although the
Chancellor was unwilling, from the state of
his health, to take an active part in public, ho would,
nevertheless, if necessary, undertake the defence of the
measure before the Chamber. In a recent sitting, Herr
Camphausen himself said he would not have accepted the
Portfolio of Finance if he had not wished to give his sup-
port to the national policy of Count Bismarck.

POLITICS IN' AUSTRIA

The Chan-11er of Deputies in the Austrian Reichsrath
11.-.8 selected its officials, having chosen for president one
of the most eminent leaders of the purely Constitutional
party, who is consequently opposed to any change in the
Constitution in favour of the autonomy of the nations. Herr
Kaisersfeld, the newly-elected president, remarked, upon
taking his seat, on the importance of the present session,
and the vital questions that waited for their solution. He
exhorted the Chamber to keep its ranks serried, and to
avoid those hesitations and incertitudes which often
dissolve majorities. The Minister of Finance pre-.
sented his Budget for 1870, which shows an excess
of expenses of 16 millions of florins, and an over-value
of receipts of 7 millions. Notwithstanding, the Finance
Minister declares that the expenses of 1870 can be re-
covered without having recourse to credit. He announced
that next week he would produce the settlement of the
accounts of receipts and expenditure for 1868, which will
skew a favourable result.
The statement that the majority of the Austrian
Ministry had resigned their posts is authoritatively denied
in the French papers.
