AN ENGLISH PRISONER IN ITALY.

The Telegraph thinks that the case of Mr. Nathan,
now imprisoned in Italy ought to be investigated.
This young man, who is only 19 years of age,
has been in prison at Milan ever since
April last, upon no charge except that he
was found travelling from Lugano, where his
mother resides, and where Mazzini was stayii at tho
time; and also that upon the journey he was in com-
pany with a young man who was out with Garibaldi
in the campaign of 1860. Upon these grounds, and
none other, it is said, Mr. Nathan has been all the
past aix months immured in an Italian gaol, without
trial, or even a statement of his offence. At the
close of last session a question was asked upon
the subject by Mr. Taylor, the member for Leicester,
and the reply was that the English Government had
made apphcation to the Government of Italy to have
the prisoner released on bail. Nothing, however, has
come of that intervention; the young British subject
remains incarcerated, and it is due to the public feel-
ing of this country, even more than to the distressed
family of the lad, that the failure should be generally
known.

COMIC PAPERS.

(From Punch.)

THO3LLS OF GENOA.—The Crown of Spain has been kicked
about like a football. So one is not surprised that it should
be secured by a Harrow-boy.
A HINT.—At the Social Congress an enormous paper, by
Mr. Macfie, M.P., proved to be so irrelevant to the subject
in hand, that the meeting unanimously caused it to be
shut up. 'What a pity the assembly which Mr. Macfie
adorns does not treat all irrelevant addresses in the
above way. "Hansard" would then become portable—
almost readable.

MARE MAGNIIM.—The Besleyans (not Wesleyans) have
triumphed, and Lord Mayor Besley will reign in 1869-70.
When the victory was proclaimed, the victor said,

" I do not mean to sing any song of triumph Now."
Quite right. Guildhall is not a pleasant place to sing in.
We may hope, later, for the pleasure of a song from his
Lordship. It would be a delightful variation from the
usual musical programme at the Mansion House banquets,
" Gentlemen, pray silence for a song from the Lord
Mayor."

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
i❑ the same. .

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

THE BRITISH MUSBUM.

A. correspondent of the Star refers to somo sugges-
tions which have been made by Mr. Marsh,
American Minister to Italy, with regard to
the utilising of the treasures of the museum
library. Mr. Marsh has proposed that there should
be attached to the Museum Library a sufficient num-
ber of competent persons, whose duty it should be,
on the request of scholars, accompanied by a regular
fee, to verify references and citations, make extracts
from the books in the library, and institute special
researches. Mr. Marsh was told by scholars in
London that they could not make much use of the
Museum Library, on account of the time re-
quired for obtaining any volumes that -ivere
wanted. The Museum authorities, on being ap-
pealed to, stated that there were many habitual readers
who could be applied to, but Mr. Marsh said that
foreigners did not know who these habitual readers
were, and suggests the advisability of trying the plan
he proposed. The money would be well laid out in
compensating persons for making extracts, for the
shillings thus expended would save pounds -spent in
buying books.

WESTMINSTER.

THE HABITUAL CRIMINALS ACT.— Frederick May and
John Costello, two youths, were charged with frequent-
ing the Brompton-road with intent to commit a felony.
A police constable said that last night he was informed
by a gentleman that the prisoners and two others had at-
tempted to steal a bed from a broker's shop, and had also
touched other things. The witness watched them, and
they were loitering about and conducting themselves in
so suspicious a way as to induce him to apprehend them.
Mr. Selfe asked what was known of the prisoners?
The police replied that May had been convicted of bur-
glary, and had only just been released from confinement
after undergoing his period of imprisonment; and Costello
had been twice convicted and sent for throe years to a re-
formatory.
May said he got his living by caneing chairs in the
streets, and Costello that he had done some rivetting
work on the railway. They pleaded that the policeman
did not see them attempt to do anything.
The police said that they were associated with a gang of
five or six more notorious thieves.
The sister of May was called in his defence, but ad-
mitted that he had formed some fresh acquaintances, or
renewed some old ones.
Mr. Selfe said that this was the very sort of case con-
templated by the new act, and he should commit the ac-
cused for three months.

THREAENING TO MURDER MR. ARNOLD, THE POLICE
MAGISTRATE.-Arthur Brown, a foreigner, between 30
and 40 years of age, was re-examined before Mr. Selfe,
charged with sending letters to Thomas James Arnold,
Esq., one of the magistrates of this court, threatening to
murder him, and demanding money.
Prisoner, who denied that he had written the threaten-
ing letter, was fully committed for trial.

THE NEW BISHOPS.

The Advertiser wants to know what has gainea the
Bishopric of Oxford for Mr. Mackarness. This gentle-
man, says our contemporary, took only a second-class
at Oxford, has never distinguished himself in any way,
haspublished nothing, and has taken no public partin
any of the controversies now goitig on in the Church.
The answer is bellned to be found in "three almost
insignificant circumstances." He is domestic chap-
lain to Lord Lyttelton; he is brother-in-law to Sir
John Coleridge • and at the election of proctors to
Convocation refused to declare himself on the side of
the Irish Church. Although it is feared that the
new Bishop of Bath and Wells has some slight
tendency to Broad Church theories, no fault
is found with the appointment of Lord Arthur
Hervey', who is spoken of as a studious, moderate,
and highly respectable divine. The Advertiser waits
with the deepest interest for the selection to the
bishoprics of Exeter and Carlisle. Hopes are enter-
tained that Dean Stanley and Canon Miller will
NS left out in the cold ; the appointment of the
first " would raise a storm of indignation; "
whether it would not even imperil the
Government is more than the Advertiser would
like to assert. However, "the interests of the Church
—that is, of the whole Church of Christ—are of
immeasurably more importance than the interests of
the Gladstone Ministry, or of all the Ministries that
ever were, or that ever will be, formed."
The Birmingham. Gazette understands, on good
authority, that the vacant bishopric of Carlisle will
be offered by the Premier to Dr. Miller.

EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS,

The Eastern Budget says that the Turco-Egyptian dispute
is not yet settled. England, France, Austria, and Piu3sia
have determined to withdraw from any further inter-
ference in the matter, and to leave the Sultan and the
Khedive to arrange it between themselves. A telegram
from Vienna, in the same paper, says that a Congrei-t, for
the purpose of treating of the various political and com-
mercial questions which will be raised by the openir g of
the Suez Canal, will meet at Cairo on the Ist of Novemh r
Austria will probably be represented by Baron Gaze: a, of
the Mercantile Department in the Foreign Office at Vic nna.
Grcat importance is attached to the apprJaching ..cgotia-
Cons for the abolition of the consular jurisdictEn .n :apt,
and it is sail that Blron Veoque will Le tent by the
Austrian Government as its special pleapotenti wycn this

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATM.

The 'United States Government feel convinced that ooner
or later Cuba will form a part of the American Union, and
that it will not be necessary for the Federal Trea3ury to
expend anything to accomplish this es•dt. The pr2s:iit
policy, therefore, says the Times correspondent, is to let
the war go on without interference, and to continue the
mediation for Cuban independence. The 2.rnerican people
sympathise with the Cuba-13, and there is litt:e n
for the neutrality which is observed. It Las I eon
openly rumoured that General Sickles Ivs telegraphed
from Madrid the last proposition which the S 1 an'sh
Government made to him and that tle3e authori-
ties accept virtually, if not explicitly, the offer of the
United States to mediate between Spa in and the revolu-
tionists of Cuba. Some conditions aro annexed as the
bases of the arrangements among which it is sail that; the
Cuban insurgents are to lay down their aim;.

TELEGRAPHY IN TIIE UNITED ST ATES

The annual report of the Union Telegraph Company cf
the United States has just been publishel. The telegraph
business has developed with surprising rapidity in that
country. The first line was constructed tetween
Baltimore and Washington in 1814 by the aid
of a subsidy from the Government. Seven years
later there were more than fifty separate telegraph
companies doing business in different parts of the counti y.
Steps were then taken towards the consolidation of the
lines, and one company, the Western Union, now controls
ten-elevenths of the whole property. There are
73,036 miles of telegraph lines in the States, of which
66,263 belong to the Western Union ; the number of sta-
tions is 5,029, of which it owns 4,692. Its net earnings for
t ie past three years have averaged 2,720,548 dollars annu-
Nlly, and during the last year its business has increased.
Its lines extend from one ocean to the other, and reach

The American papers make large use of the telegraph
wires, apd the report states that during the year 1868 the
Western Union delivered to the press 369,503,680 words,
at a charge of 883,509 dollars, or less than a shilling for a
hundred words. The report claims that this is a larger
amount of news than was contained in all the telegraphic
correspondence of Continental Europe during the same
period, though the charge for the Continent was nearly
seven millions more.

huR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

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 teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

A --NE37-

Sir Tollemache Sinclair, who was recently elected
for Caithness, has been making some remarks on the
political questions of the day. He believed that an
increasing number on both sides of politics are
of opinion that voters should be protected by
the Ballot, although in Scotland bribery is
almost unknown, treating is rare, and intimi-
dation and coercion is becoming the exception
and not the rule. He considers that the nomination
of candidates is an unnecessary and mischievous for-
mality; that paid canvassers should be abolished;
that the conveyance of voters to the poll should be
illegal; and that the strictly necessary expenses of an
election should come out of the county rates.
With regard to the land question, Sir Tolle-
mache stated that he was in favour of a
Government commission to investigate and
adjust all the equitable rights which can be proved to
exist on every estate in Ireland, and fix, without
appeal, their amount, which sum should be a charge
on the estate, but to be redeemable at any time by
the landlord. He would relax the extreme and now
needless severity of the Irish Poor Law, and assimi-
late it to the 'English system.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

An Edinburgh contem
Dol'arY states that a commis-
sion, consisting of Mr. Stansteig, Mr. You , and
Mr. Loch is expected in the city shortly, for the
purpose of ascertaining how far it m 7 be possible
and expedient to consolidate several o the Scotch
Government offices, and briny; them into one. The
offices in regard to which it is said the commissioners
will direct their inquiries are the Scotch Exchequer,
the Board of Supervision for the Poor, the Board of
Fisheries, the Prison Board, and the Lunacy Board.
All that can bo safely inferred is, that the Govern-
ment is seriously inquiring in what manner the
various Scotch boards can be be brought under
one recognised head, such as a Secretary of State for
Scotland.
The Scotsman understands that there is no truth
whatever in the statements that have recently been
made in several quarter;;, to the effect that a vacancy
is likely to occur in the representation of the Edin-
burgh and St. Andrew's Universities, through the
appointment of Dr. Lyon Playfair to the Mastership
of the Mint. No such appointment, says our contem-
rorary, has been made. or offered to. Dr. Playfair.

According to pr7s;ntitpiea;;;;;Klr.-"S;tiiiart Mill
will not be chosen as the Liberal candidate for the
Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities. A meeting of
the Aberdeen members has been held, and a com-
mittee appointed to act in conjunction with the Glas-
goW University Liberal party in promoting the
election of the candidate who might be jointly chosen
as representative. Tho name and claims of Mr.
Smith, of Jordanhill, tho gentleman selected by the
Glasgow committee, were very favourably received
by the meeting. Mr. Smith appears to have the
preference with a large number of electors over 1:1-r•
John Stuart Mill.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
t le short exchange on London is 251. 1.5 c. per LI sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
l'ai.loid. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
Lou don.
The course of exchange at Nev York on London for bills at CO
days' sight was inn per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there
would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United
t otos.

The very extensive Distillery now being erected
at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of

a world-wide celebrity for their fine old Irish whisky, is to be
called "The Royal Irish Distillery."

A -.'h'L'W ALtIA>.TCB.

The Fren—cli papers give currency to a rumour which
attaches serious importance to General Fleury's mission to
St. Petersburg. The General, it is said, is to ascertain
the dispositions of the Czar in case war should break
out in Europe, with the object of securing an
alliance between France and Russia, or at least of inducing
him to be neutral. In the first place, the French fleet
would combine with the Russian fleet on tho
Baltic ; in the second, France and Austria would
act with confidence, knowing that Russia would
not interfere with them. The isolation of Prussia
is the object which the Cabinet of the Tuileries
has in view before exacting from King William the strict
fulfilment of the fifth article of the Treaty of Prague.
According to this account General Fleury's mission signifies
peace should Prussia take alarm at finding herself isolated,
war, if King William and his Minister refuse to satisfy
the demands of France and Austria. The Siecle alludes at
some length to the rumour of an alliance between Prussia
Russia, and Austria which has also been afloat in Paris,
and which it thinks natural and well founded, though it
does not believe the efforts made to secure it will be suc-
cessful. In the present situation of France and the
eventualities which may arise, it is natural that the Great
Powers should consider the best means of meeting the
crisis. According to the Siecle, the idea of this combination
did not originate with Count Bismarck, who likes to act
alone, but with Count Manteuffel, who, supported by Lord
Clarendon, proposed as the basis of their policy the preier-
vation of the status quo, Prussia undertaking to do nothing
in Germany, and Russia to remain inactive in the East. M.
de Beust, however, refused to join this alliance. Austria
having been so often deceived by her allies will stand
alone, and this resolve has rendered the negotiations
futile. The Slide, in alluding to the mission of General
Fleury, thinks it would be a grave mistake on
the part of France to ally herself with Russia ; her only
real allies must be found in liberal Governments and
liberal peoples. The frequent conferences which have
taken place between Napoleon 111. and his Foreign Minister,
M. de la Tour d'Auvergne, and their constant cemmuni. a-
tions with French diplomatists abroad, seem to afford some
foundations for these reports.

THAMES.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Jamr,s Burke, a tall, gloomy-
looking fellow, was brought up on remand, charged with
swallowing poison on the banks of the river Lea.
It appeared that the prisoner procured a bottle of phos-
phor paste, which he scooped out with a knife, and to the
disgust and mortification of the bystanders appeared to
enjoy the nauseous doses until he had nearly emptied the
bottle, when he said "this is the last dose," and soon after-
wards fell on the banks of the river insensible.

The chaplain of the Clerkenwell House of Detention,
where the prisoner had been confined a week, said he was
perfectly sensible of his folly, and repented of his rash
conduct.

The prisoner's wife, a neat and tidy little woman, said
her husband could not stand much drink, that he had
suffered great agony since he had swallowed the poison,
and that she would take care of him in future.
The prisoner was discharged, and delivered over to the
care of his wife.

THE NEW YORK JUDICIARY,

An extraordinary fracas between a reporter and a judge
is recorded in the New York Sun. The reporters of that
journal have been making sport of the eccentricities of the
judge of the Court of General Sessions, a freedom which
the judge resented in strong language, calling the reporter
a liar, a compliment which the reporter very promptly
returned. The conversation, which seems to have taken
place in aroom of the court-house, proceeded as follows :
"The City Judge ; You are a d—d liar.
" Reporter : You are a liar.
" The City Judge: Where was this conversation ?
"Reporter: In your office.
" The City Judge (turning about) : I never used such
language in my life. The whole thing is a lie—a wilful
lie. lam a gentleman by Lirth and education, and
cannot stoop to bandy words with such an ignorant
fellow.

" Reporter : If you were not so small and diminutive, I
would chastise you."

The conduct of American judicial courts is likely, under
Imola circumstances, to be of a somewhat peculiar order.

THE FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

The crusade which Mr. Rylands commenced in the
House of Commons against the jobbery in the Fcreign
Diplomatic Service is likely to have some good
results. The question has now been taken up by the
Executive Committee of the National Reform Union,
and on Tuesday night the member for Warrington
addressed a meeting at Manchester on the
subject. He stated that the amount expended last
year upon the diplomatic and consular services was
about 2500,000, the increase since 1850 having been
£120,297 a year. Notwithstanding the great dis-
parity in the extent of our relations with the United
States and Turkey, the total expenditure upon our
Turkish Embassy was about £50,000 a year,
and that upon our representation at Wash-
ington £22,000. He declared that the service
was unnecessarily expensive, and maintained as a
means of providing for younger branches of the aris-
tocracy. these days of newspapers, electric tele-
graphs, and rapid publicity, it was an anachronism
on the age, and instead of promoting peace among
nations, it tended rather to promote war, as in the
instances of the late wars with Russia and Abyssinia.
He hoped the rumoured disarmament of Europe
would prove to be true. At all events, whatever
other nations did, England, as professedly the most
advanced Christian nation in the world, should put
her Christian principles into her national policy.

SIR JAMS ELPHINSTONE ON THE NAVY.
Speaking at Portsmouth the other day, Sir James
Elphinstone, M.P., expressed the opinion that the
result of the admiralty cruise had been to reduce the
navy of England to one ship—the Monarch. In the
gale of wind which the fleet met with, had the
Monarch put forth her powers as an enemy instead of
a friend, all the other vessels would have been at her
mercy. Sir James said he Iliad been an advocate of
the turret system from the beginning. Its victory
was now won. Henceforth he felt assured it would
be the only principle on which ships of war would be
armed. Sir James Elphinstone looks forward to the
country spending ten millions on Portsmouth, which,
in the opinion of its member, is the sole and only
proper station for the British fleet. Probably the
country will look at the matter in a different light.

case a medical certificate was produced, sta. ting that

would seem, " to Ernest Jones it" has come, amone, a

takes the form of itnprisonment.

MUSHROOM AND CO.

The Horticultural Society are just now directing
their attention to the utilisation of fungi. The mem-
herb, in common with most authorities, hold that the
Mushroom class of vegetablesrniAt be made much

good for food except mushrooms' and that there is no
difficulty in distinguishing between the nutritious
and the poisonous. On Tuesday, Dr. Curtis, of
America, said he had eaten freely of as many as forty
different kinds of fungi, which were found in
abundance on the Western continent. During the
civil war the value of these edibles was frequently
appreciated. The meeting then took the subject in
hand practically. Various specimens of edible fungi
were cooked, and freely partaken of by the large
assemblage of persons who thronged the council room.
There can be no doubt that much valuable food,
lying free for everyone to take, is allowed to bo
wasted.
