In the Health Department it was announced that a joint
committee of the Association and of the British Medical
Association on sanitary laws and State medicine had,
through a sub-committee, drawn up a memorial to the
Home Secretary, urging the importance of extending the
operation of the Royal Sanitary Commission.
Several papers, dealing with sickness, registration, and
sanitary improvements, were read in this department.

In the Department of Economy and Trade a communi-
cation, prepared by Mr. Nuttall, shewing the defects in
the official statistics of co-operation, was presented. The
department also dealt with the subjects of railway fares,
and the responsibilities of companies in case of accidents.
In the Jurisprudence Department the Patent Laws were
discussed. The attendance was exceedingly small.

ELECTION NEWS.

The Liberal party appear to be somewhat divided
in the choice of a candidate to take Mr. Moncreiff's
place. A meeting was held in Glasg•ow on Monday,
when Mr. Archibald Smith, of Jordan-hill, was
proposed as a candidate, and the mention of his
name was favourably received ; but as Aberdeen
has not pronounced, it was resolved, instead of
standing committed to one name, to appoint a com-
mittee to confer with a similar committee in Aber-
deen, and to support whoever may be brought for-
ward by that joint committee. Mr. Smith has placed
himself at the disposal of the Liberal committee, and
it is probable that if the Aberdeen and London com-
mittees are favourable to the candidature of Mr.
Stuart Mill, Mr. Smith will retire in his favour.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Oct. 6.

The Official Gazette of this morning states that
Senor Paul, a member of the Cortes, is command-
ing a band of Republicans.

Communication between Madrid and Barcelona
is interrupted, but with Andalusia it has been re-
stored.

The insurgents have evacuated the town of Reus.
The army is animated by an excellent spirit.
It is expected that the Government bill for the
suspension of the legal guarantees of personal
liberty and of inviolability of domicile will he voted
upon by the Cortes to-night.

Fresh bands of insurgents have appeared in the
province of Saragosa, and the Republic has been
proclaimed at Sa Junquera.

The Ministerial papers assert that Senor Paul,
the Deputy, had threatened with death all those
persons who do not join the insurrection. The
movements of the insurgents continue, and acts of
vandalism, pillage, and assassination are being per-
petrated by them.

PROTEST AGAINST MR. MACKONOCJHE.

According. to the Liverpool Courier, an important
protest has been signed by many clergymen against
the selection of Mr. Mackonochie as the reader of a
paper at the Liverpool Church Congress. Five
reasons are assigned for the adoption of
this course. 1. That Mr. Mackonochie has
been condemned by the highest court of appeal
for introducing and long maintaining erroneous prac-
tices in St. Albans. 2. That for those practices he
has made no public expressions of penitence. 3. On
the contrary, he has impugned the judgment of the
Privy Council, and has not professed to submit to it,
except under protest, and in the barest possible manner.
4. That to assign to a clergyman in such a position a
prominent place at a Church Congress, appears to
treat with contempt the decision of the Privy Coun-
cil, and to strengthen the unhappy feeling already too
prevalent that a mischievous disturbance of the
Church is no moral offence in a clergyman. G. That
the best course that of objecting- to Mr.
Mackonochie's name when first proposed—was net
adopted owing to a momentary want of vigiLince at
the Congress Committee. The second best course—
that of withdrawing his name—was tried and failed,
committees behr naturally reluctant to reverse their
own decisions. They therefore protest, in order to
relieve themselves from all f-uspicion of sympathy with
the erroneous practices. The document is signed by
30 clergymen.

THE BLACKBURN POACHING AFFRAY.

The behaviour of the policemen who were engaged
in the fight with poachers near Blackburn deserve?
commemoration. Two constables who were on the
look-out for game marauders were suddenly
assailed by seven poachers. Notwithstand-
ing the disparity of force the policemen gave
battle, and one of them, Higgin, who was seized
by a poacher, held his opponent down whilst he felled
two others who attempted a rescue. In the mean-
time three or four of the poachers had seized the
other constable Barber, thrown him down, and
kicked him unmercifully on the head and bodv.
Higgin released his hold of the poacher
with whom he had been battling, and at once
went to the relief of his fellow-officer. His staff
was quickly at work again, and two of the mon who
had been actively engaged in kicking Barber were
promptly prostrated at his feet: As the poachers
had suffered severely from Higg,ins's truncheon, they
decided upon beating a retreat; but tho staff had
done its work so effectively that all the marauders
could not get away. One had received injuries to
such an extent that he could scarcely move, and he
was subsequently locked up. Three othere were
afterwards captured. Thus the two policemen not
only engaged seven opponents, but gained a com-
plete victory. Barber, unfortunately, is dreadfully
injured.

lA2 71E1Z HY AWNTHE.

The letter of the Superior of the Order of Bare-
footed Carmelites has just been published in reply
to Father Hyacinthe. The following are the most
important passages Your letter of the 20th of
September only reached me on the 25th. You
will easily imagine how deeply
it afflicted me, and
with what bitterness it filled my soul. I was far
from expecting you to fall such a depth. It is
very true that, during the last five years, in spite
of personal opinions, which are in general contrary
to yours on many religious questions, as I have
more than once expressed to you ; in spite of the
counsels I have given to you on several occasions
relative to your prcachings, and to which, except-
ing in the case of your Lent sermons at Rome, you
paid but little attention, so long as you did
not openly depart from the limits imposed by
Christian prudence on a priest, and especially
on a monk, I always manifested towards
you sentiments of esteem and friendship,
and encouraged you in your preachings• But if
that is true, so aim) is it that, from the moment in
which I perceived that you were beginning to go
beyond those limits, I was forced to begin on my
side to express to you my fears, and to mark to you
my dissatisfaction. You must remember that I did
so especially last year about the month of October,

addressed by you to a club in Paris. I then ex-

also very painful to me, and also drew on you

the measure of my apprehensions and my grief,

A SONNET ASCRIBED TO SHARSPERE.

During the dull season of last year, an epitaph was
made to yield liveliness by a discussion as to whether
Milton wrote it. Are we to have a Shakspere con-
troversy this year ? The public may if it will. Mr.
J. O'Connell supplies the materials in the Daily
News. He tells us that in the British Museum there
is a copy of Florio's translation of Montaigne's Essays.
This book contains Shakspere's autograph, a poem
signed by Samuel Daniel in praise of this particular
13430 k, and a sonnet without name, " concerning the
honour of books ". in general. This sonnet Mr.
O'Connell ascribes to Shakspere. It reads as fol.
lows :

Since Honor from Honorer proceeds.
And How wellleave do they tblni
foroker deserveallthatp
The names of worthyes, and their vertuous deedes

When all their glorie els, like water weedes

And all their greatness quite forgotten lyes :

How poor remembrances are Statutes Toomes
And other monuments that men erect
To Princes, which remaine in closed roomos
Where but a low behold them ; in respect
Of Mazes, that to the Universall eye
Shew how they liv'd, the other where they lye.
ME SOVEREIGN CONTROVERSY'.

The coinage controversy is still vigorously prose-
cuted. Sir John Lubbock's views, to which"
attention was called a few days since,
have met with various objections, which
he answers at length in the Times, further
insisting that if Parliament deliberately takes a course
which raises the value of the pound sterling to the
extent of 1 per cont., contracts must in all justice ho
readjusted. When Lbrd Overstone entered upon the
discusion it will be rememberedthat he contended that
the amount of nid in a sovereign cannot be diminished
without tampering with the standard, and that the
sovereign contains the exact quantity of gold which
the creditor is entitled to receive for his round ster-
ling, so that if the amount of gold be diminished the
sovereign must cease to be a legal tender. To this

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25i. 153. per £1 sterlin .
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 03.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe4.rs that
gold at the above price is slightly clearer in Paris than in
Lon dor .
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GU
days' sight was 1071 per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there
would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United
States.

LADVERTISEMENT. Pills.—Theso pills are
more efficacious in strengthening a debilitated constitution
than any other medicine in the world. Persons of a ner-
vous habit of body, and all who are suffering from weak
disgestive organs, or whose health has become deranged
by affection, disordered stomach, or liver com-
plaints, should lose no time in giving these admiraVe pills
a fair trial. Coughs, colds, asthma, or shortness of breath
are also within the range of the sanative powers of this
very remarkable medicine. The cures effected by these
pills are not superficial or temporary, but complete and
permanent. They are as mild as they are efficacious, and
may be given with confidence to delicate females and young
children. Their action on the liver, stomach, and bowels
is immediate, beneficial, atkci Wang, restoring order and
health iA Om' case.

MURDER IN PARIS OF 211 PERSONS.

A terrible crime has been committed at a place called
Pantin, which is close to Paris. On Monday evening two
country carts were seen passing along the Rue do Rivoli,
going towards the Morgue—blood dripping from one of
them. The carts wero surrounded by soldiers, and preceded
by a commissioner of police wearing his scarf. It soon
spread through the crowd which followed the cort6ge that
the vehicle contained the remains of a woman and
five children which had been discovered buried close
to the Pantin station. The murders could have only
biro!' place n few hours before tho bodies were found ;
the victims had been fearfully gashed about with a
triangular instrument, and were bleeding when disin-
terred. People are at a loss to imagine how six indi-
viduals could have been murdered in open ground,
and a hundred yards from a station. The eldest
boy seems to be about seventeen years old, and
the youngest child a girl of three. All that
is known as yet is that the murdered family came from
the country. Two arrests are said to have been made.
The Morgue and its vicinity has been crowded the whole
day by persons anxious to get a glimpse, of the victims.

STnIKES lii GERM-NY.

In 1315' it was cn'acted by the Prussian law that any
combination of workmen to force concessions from their
employers was penal, but this law was repealed in 1867,
and since then strikes have been not unfrequent. Early
this year the builders and house-carpenters in Berlin
struck for higher wages. They obtained a small part of
their f Chilli, but the triumph cost them dear in
many respects. The musicians are now in a state
of great disunion, and they threaten the directors
of concerts with a strike if they do not com-
ply with their demands. A more important strike
took place at Hamburgh a short time ago, when the master
of a carriage manufactory proposed a reduction of wages ;
as many as fourteen hundred men then struck, and the
director sent for new hands from Sweden. The old wc7l::
men attacked the manufactory, and also the house of the
director. It was some time before the difficulty was got
over, and the men returned to their work. The relations
between capital and labour in Germany arc assuming the
form of a social difficulty. The Government does not seem
inclined to interfere in the affair at all, but to leave it to
the contending parties.

THAMES.

STRANGE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.--Jane Houghton, a
well-dressed woman, about 30 years of age, was brought
beforo Mr. Benson, charged with attempting to commit
suicide.

Police-constable Croft, 463 K, was on duty at half-past
two this morning, near the New Globe public-house,
Mile-end-road, and heard a groan. He looked over the
parapet of the bridge of the Regent's Canal, and saw the
prisoner partially undressed, and about to divest herself
of her chemise. Her drawers were banging about her
legs. He asked her what she going to do with herself,
to which the replied that she was about to put an end
to her existence. He went down to the bank of the
canal, asked her where she lived, and compelled her to
dress herself. She said she lived at 25, Regent-street,
Mile-end. She appeared to be tipsy. The prisoner de-
nied that she was drunk. She war, excited and subject
to fits. She had had a quarrel with the man she was
living with just before she was going to bed. Her
paramour said she was a nuisance. He had been drink-
ing with some friends.

Mr. Benson said the prisoner seemed rather off her
head at present, and had adopted a most extraordinary
course to go out at half-cast two in the morning and un-
dress herself on the banks of a canal. He remanded her
for a week. Some time after a man got into the witness-
box and said he was a furrier and the husband of the pri-
soner, but was not married to her. He asked the magis-
trate to accept of bail for her. She was subject to exces-
sive excitement and fits when she drank heavily.

Mr. Benson—No. I certainly will not take bail for her.
I remand her for a week to the Clerkenwell House of De-
tention, and the chaplain will attend upon her. I've no
doubt the quietude will do her good.
London, England, 1869-09-23

CATTLE AT SEA.

The General Steam Navigation Company is
allowed to occupy a column in the Times in denying
that there are any real eTounds for the sweeping.
charge of cruelty inflicted upon live stock in its con-
veyance to this country. The denial is made at
the hands of the Company's secretary, and sup-
ported by four letters—two from eminent veterinary
surgeons, one from an assistant-surveyor of the
Customs, and another from an acting-examining
officer. The company, the 'secretary says, would have
taken no notice of the matter but for the letter of Miss
Burdett Coutts, whose kind and generous nature, it is
intimated, has misled her judgment. No more com-
petent or sufficient evidence, it is argued, can be pro-
duced than that of the veterinary sureons acting
under the immediate instructions of tie Board of
Customs, whose duty it is to rigidly examine every
animal separately on landing, and who state distinctly
that no symptoms of auy such cruelty have been
found to exist, their evidence in that respect being
fully confirmed by the Custom-house surveyor and
examining officer, whose duty it is also to attend at
the landing and delivery of the animals. Beyond
this, it is made a great feature that lipe. stock
beimg a valuable property, if such cruelty were prac-
tised owards it as described, the value of the animals
would be proportionately deteriorated, and the
owners, as in the case of the owners of any other
description of merchandise conveyed by sea, would
not fail to recover from the shipowner the amount of
any damage wantonly or carelessly done to the cargo
during its conveyance or on its landing. The Steam
Navigation Company, it is affirmed, have never been
called upon by the consignees of live stock
to make good any losses arising from any
such cause. Is there any force in this argument ?
Slaves were wont to be regarded as valuable property,
but one would hardly have thought it on inspecting
the between decks of a slaver.
Tun 'WEATHER OF 1800.

The weather of 1809, according to the record fur-
nised by the Gardener's Magazine, presents fewer
remarkable features than usual. The sudden alterna-
tions from cold to heat, and vice versa, have severely
tried vegetation. The fruit crop, considered as a
whole, is a poor one, though, with the exception of
pears, the hardier kinds of fruit have been produced
in abundance. The tender fruits, such as peaches
and nectarines have been unusually scarce. The pro-
ducts of the kitchen garden have been plentiful and
good. Our contemporary looks forward to a bright,
enjoyable autumn, and indulges the anticipation that
1870 will be a good year, after which must be ex-
pected a change of a less agreeable character. The
experience of the past teaches that after three good
years in succession a break must be expected.

TILE REFORM ACT.

The parliamentary return giving the number of
£l2 occupiers and other electors in the countries of
England and Wales, moved for by Viscount Enfield,
is commented upon in the Times by Mr. Dudley
Baxter. The total number of county elector:: in 1 566
was 542,633 ; in 1867-8 it was increased to 701,916,
of which 202,676 are occupiers, and 580,240 have
other qualifications. Three deduction 4, Mr. Baxter
thinks, may be drawn from these figures. The new
£l2 occupiers were in round numbers 203,000, or an
addition of 372 per cent, to the total electors in 1860.
The new electors from other sources—chiefly by the
lowering of leasehold, and copyhold, and free life-
hold qualifications from -210 to £s—were in round
numbers 47,000 or an addition of per cent. to the
total electors in 1860. The total increase of the
county constituencies of England and Wales by Mr.
Disraeli's Reform Act has been in round numbers
250,000, or an addition of 40 per cent. to the 542,000
electors of 186(3.

UR. JACOB BRIGHT ON RECIPROCITY.

The National Reform Union has replied to the cry
for reciprocity, raised at some meetings in Man-
chester, by requesting Mr. Jacob Bright, ono of the
city members, to address a meeting on the subject.
Mr. Bright did so on Tuesday. His speech was pre-
luded by a statement by Mr. George Wilson, who took
the chair, and pointed out what large quantities
of food were now sent to us from abroad—quantities
increasing year by year. He shelved, too, that the
amount of manufactured goods, cotton and wool, now
being exported, was getting larger. The farmers, ho
remarked, were still prosperous, notwithstanding Free
Trade ; the whole nation obtained its necessaries
cheaper. Mr. Bright began his speech by differing
from his " bip-, brother," the President of the Board
of Trade. Ho said he could understand how it
was that persons who long ago fought the Free Trade
battle, now regarded those who raised the old cry of
Protection as dishonest. Ho thought it was rather
the want of insight and foresight in the Tory party
which led them to do as they were doing. The party
was honest, but foolish. Protection he described as
a denial by Governments to their subjects of the
right to buy in the cheapest markets ; and on this
definition he based the question—Was it
right, if this denial was given in foreign
countries, that it should also be given in this ?
It was preposterous to say so. But the Reciprocity
Association should set things right at home first.
England taxed the Chinese 25 to 50 per cent. on
their teas, while China imported calicoes at 5 per
cent. He admitted that distress existed ; was
not altogether surprised at the way it was
proposed to alleviate it ; but maintained that
the real cause of the commercial depression
had been overlooked. The wars between America
and Russia had brought down the Divine judgment
in this way. If it were not so, he should doubt the
moral government of the world. Universal peace was
wanted for the establishment of prosperity. Govern-
ments should be prevented from squandering money,
and war should be waged against ignoratic'e and
intemperance.
