THAMES.

ADVICE GRA.TIS.—Among the numerous applicants for
advice and assistance was a foreign outfitter, who said that
one of his countrymen, a sailor, had contracted a debt of
.£8 for clothes and monoy advanced, and would not pay
him although he had received his wages.
Mr. Paget—Sue him in the County Court.
Applicant—Ho is going to sea.

Mr. Paget-1 cannot help that. If people will give credit
to seamon they must have recourse to the same remedies
as with ordinary creditors.

Applietuat—Can't you grant me a warrant to apprehend
him? If you don't ho will be away tc-day.
Mr. Paget—No.

A respectable woman next asked for advice, and said
that she had given some bad lodgers notice to quit, and
had levied an execution on their goods and chattels for a
month's rent, but they would not leave.
Mr. Paget looked at the notice and said it was useless.
The applicant said she would double the rent if the par-
ties did not leave.

Mr. Paget said that was giving permission to her
lodgers to stay. He advised the applicant to repeat the
notice to quit, and say nothing about doubling the rent.
If the refractory lodgers did not leave at the date named
in the notice, she could come before him or any other
magistrate presiding in that court and ask for an order to
turn them out.

FLORENCE, Oct. 9.

The Nazione of to-day denies there is any foun-
dation in the rumour that difficulties have arisen
between the Minister of Finance, Count Cambray-
Digny, and the French and German bankers rela-
tive to the loan of GO millions of lire recently con-
cluded on the security of the ecclesiastical property.
The contract was signed on the 17th of September,
and a deposit of six millions of lire was then paid
into the hands of the Minister of Finance, and no
difficulty has subsequently occurred.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 9.

The English steamer Cafri, Captain Black,
bound from Odessa for England, with wheat,
foundered at the entrance of the Bbospborus this
morning. The captain, the chief officer, the en-
gineer, and 14 men wero lost ; seven were saved.
The Turkish inhabitants on the coast exerted
themselves in the most praiseworthy manner to
save the crew

SPAIN.'
One thousand eight hundred insurgents have
surrendered to General Baidrick, who refused to
pardon those of them who had committed assassi-
nations in the town of Valls.

The insurgents caused a train on the Andalusian
Railway, which was conveying soldiers, to go off
the line, which resulted in three soldiers and a cap-
tain being killed, and a large number of the men
being wounded.
This morning the authorities proceeded to dis-
arm the Republican Volunteers at Saragossa, Val-
ladolid, and Grenada. At the latter places the
volunteers resisted, and after a struggle succeeded
in escaping to the open country with their arms.
This morning a portion of the Volunteers of Li-
berty at Sarragossa resisted the order for their dis-
armament, and fired upon the troops. A serious
engagement, which terminated in the prompt re-
pression of the revolt. Tranquillity is completely
restored.

The Government and the Regent have decided
to bring before tribunals all those members of pro-
vincial or municipal councils who have either taken
part in, or favoured the, Republican movement.
A telegram from Cuba, dated to-day, states that
the condition of affairs in the island has greatly
improved for the Government. _

NEW ZEALAND,

A revolting case of cannibalism is noted by the Southern
Cross. Tho report, which reached that I aper by way of
Tamanga, is to the effect that the scouts of the friendly
Maori Chief, Marsh Brown, had discovered the spot where
Captains Travers and White were buried at Ruatahana by
a board placed in a conspicuous part of the path.
Upon inspection it was found that it bore
writing in Maori, which had been translated as
follows :--77" Friends: we have been to Ruatahana, and have

disinterred the bodies of the Europeans who were buri«-..
there. I have eaten them. The pakeha3 are very fat.
TAMI KOWIIETI."--Tho Southern Cross says that many of
those who belong to the class known as " Maori doctors "
think that the board was set up merely as a piece of
bravado. Others believe the report to be true.

misu LAND sauEsiltn.

A small Irish landed proprietor, IMr. C. Buxton,
M.P., took occasion, at the annual dinner of
the North Walsham Agricultural Association, to
mention that there could not be a more complete
delusion than to suppose that what the Irish were
seeking was to secure compensation for the improve-
ments which they made in their farms. Compensa-
tion for improvements ought, beyond doubt, to be
secured to then but compensation for improvements
was not the thing which the Irish tenantry were
demanding. The one thing on which their hearts
were set was not compensation for improvements,
but fixity of tenure. They were resolved no longer
to endure the uncertainty, and, as they fancied, the
humiliation of being liable to be turned out of their
holding at the pleasure of the landlord. This feeling
had become an overmastering passion. He advised
the Irish tenantry not to ask for absolute permanence
of tenure. If they were prudent, they would ask
that—at any rate, beyond five acres—the law should
not sanction in Ireland any tenure of land except that
of leases for at least thirty years, the tenant having
power to alienate under proper restrictions, but
having no rower to sub-let or sub-divide, and the
landlord being bound at the end of the lease to com-
pensate for improvements, or to renew the lease at
the same rental. Such a freedom of contract 'would
give rise to inconveniences, but lie could not see that
it would be any wild or subversive invasion of the
rights of property. Ire believed Irish landlords, as
well as the whole Irish nation, would in the long run
be the more prosperous and the more happy for such
a change.

TUE CONTEST IN EAST CHESHIRE.
The fight in the eastern division of Cheshire 14
causing intense interest in political circles. Although
the Liberal party cannot hope to win the seat, for
they have entered on the battle against great odds—
they hope that the polling will show an increasing
feeling in favour of Liberalism. At a meeting
held on Thursday evening, a Mr. Waters stated
that from a letter received from his son, in Switzer-
land, he found that the German papers were watch-
ing this contest in East Cheshire as a battle between
Free Trade and Protection. He believed it would have
great influence upon the people of other countries in
favour of or against the more general adoption of
Free Trade. Regret was expressed at the loss of the
late Lord Stanley of Alderley, who was formerly the
Liberal leader in the division, and who was carried in
triumph at the head of Ile poll in 1832. The polling
takes place to-day.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15a. per £1 sternly,
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of

gold at the above price is slightly dearer:in

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CHARITY.

The Holborn Guardians, with an ability far above
the ordinary guardian level, contest some of the
arguments set forth in Mr. Goschen's famous minute
on charitable relief. The President of the Poor-law
Board urged that the aid given to the destitute
from the rates and the aid given by private munifi-
cence ought to be kept as separate as possible, that is,
the one should do what the other leaves undone
The two should not be engaged upon precisely the
same work. With this view Mr. Goschen recorn
mended that the poor rate should be confined
to the relief of the entirely destitute ; it
should not be given in aid of wages, to
enable working men to travel to places where
they could find employment, or to purchase tools
These latter very worthy forms of charity should be
left to private munificence. But the Holborn
Guardians argue that such a division is impossible
The Poor Law Board itself makes an exception in
the case of widows to the rule -of not augment-
ing wages; and the Holborn Guardians say
that so large a proportion of the out-door paupers
are widows that the exception is destructive of
the rule. Nor can it be applied in other cases. More
than half the London adult paupers are persons who
are incapacitated by disease, infirmity, or age. Yet
in one district half these persons were found to be
earning an average wage of two shillings a week,
and the other half eked out their parochial relief in
some other way. It would be impossible to refuse
aid to these persons, and equally impossible to stop
them from getting anything beside their parochial
relief. In many other cases there can be no hard and
fast line drawn. What the Holborn Guardians think
more especially needful is better co-operation between
the administrators of the rates and the representa-
tives of charitable societies. Until the two work
together the evils of the present system cannot be
overcome.

SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Ludgate Mil, London, E.C.

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.

The Annual Premium Income of the Company, at the
close of Is6B, was £220,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured X 4.832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist —The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.
The Premium Income of the General
Business was X 52,432, and the sum Assured
X 1,562,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing. way £139,322 15 8
The Premium Income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve...... 50,000 0 0

£189,322 15 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very large proportion of
Policies which const ,ntly larse, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

Tho Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was . £241,301112

The average duration of the whole of
Lhe Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average age of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.
A detailed List of Assets can be bad on application.

THE IMPERIAL LAND COMPANY.

A motion was before one of the Vice-Chancellors on
Thursday on behalf of the Imperial Land Company, for an
order to compel Mr Albert Grant, formerly the chairman,
to refund a sum of £22,000, and Mr. Heritage also to re-
fund a sum of £15,0000, which they had respectively re-
.eived, according to the allegations, as remuneration for
their services in having completed a contract for the purchase
of land for upwards of £1,000,000. Mr. Cotton, Q.C., on
behalf of Mr. Grant applied on Thursday morning to
Vice-Chancellor Malins that the motion should stand over,
in order that the defendant might answer the affidavits
which had been filed on the other side. His Honour said
that it was desirable that time should be given to answer
the affidavits of the plaintiffs, and ordered accordingly.

CHEAP MEALS FOR THE LONDON POOR.

A meeting to promote the establishment of depots for
selling cheap meals to the poor and the working classes
of London was held at the Cannon-street Hotel, on
Thursday ; Sir W. Tite, M.P., in the chair. It was
stated that great distress existed amongst the working
classes of the metropolis, and that an experiment to pro-
vide them with meals of Australian meat had already
proved successful and remunerative. Resolutions were
adopted in favour of a more extensive scheme, and a com-
mittee was appointed to superintend the opening
of dining rooms in various parts of London,
where meals would be supplied at a cheap
rate— ld. or 2d. per meal being mentioned.
The matter was undertaken, though in a philanthropic
spirit, yet on commercial principles, and the choice of food
was left to the committee, who were not bound to adopt
Australian meat.

CANDEDATIIEB OF THE DUNE OF GENOA.

The Correspondencia, of Madrid, furnishes some explana-
tion of the contradictory statements that have been made
with respect to the candidature of the Duke of Genoa.
The Madrid paper is on the side of Marshal
Prim in affirming that the King of Italy had
promised to do all that he could to favour the
candidature, but it also agrees with the Marquis Rapallo
that the King is unwilling to offend the mother of the
young Prince, who is greatly opposed to the scheme. This
appears to be the explanation of the imbroglio, but it if
net encouraging to the partisans of Prince Thomas.

TUE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

All the efforts on behalf of the unfortunate Albert
Assurance Company, the committees, the liquidators,
the professional advisers, have achieved little or
nothing. The office has fallen into liquidation pure and
simple. The " screw" will now be put on, and the
policy-holders will be recompensed at the expense of the
shareholders by the agency of the law. Mr.
Thomson, of the Agra Bank, which represents the
interest of some Indian constituents, asks whether
this lamentable issue cannot vet be averted. If the
shareholders have to pay, why not pay without the
costly machinery of official liquidation ? The late
judgment by Vice-Chancellor James has shewn
that the shareholders of the companies amal-
gamated with the Albert are liable for those
policies which they handed over. Would it not be
better, asks Mr. Thomson, to form another company,
subscribe the £400,000, which, added to the existing
assets, would enable the Albert Office to meet all
claims, and thus escape the ruin of an official liquida-
tion ? The £400,000 thus raised would at first bear no
dividend. But in time things would work round, and
at any rate nothing worse than liquidation need be
apprehended.

GERMAN STEAMERS TO CENTRAL AMERICA.

The Panama papers announce that a new line of steam
communication between Bremen and the West Indies
and Central America, with special regard to Venezuela
and New Granada, is to be immediately established by the
North German Lloyd Company. Tho want of a direct line
of steamers, establishing a regular communication
with Central America, the West Coast of Africa, and
South America has been for some time severely felt
in the German trade, as the Bremen imports from these
parts are often very valuable.

The fatal accident to a leading man of ship-
wrights in Chathatu Dockyard, a few days ago,
has been followed by axother loss of life. Yester-
day afternoon Henry Brean, a rigger, was drowned.
Brean and another man were in a boat by the dock-
yard, near the temporary pier or bridge which was
used when the Monarch was being completed in
the stream. Brean was pushing the boat from the
pier towards a barge when he fell overboard, the
boat going from under his feet. The water was
deep, the tide: running strongly, and, despite his
desperate struggles, he was swept away out of the
reach of his comrade, who could not render imme-
diate aid with the boat as the rowlocks had not
been " shipped." Several other boats, however,
were quickly brought to the place, and every
effort was made to recover the body with drags,
but in vain. The deceased has left a widow and
three children.

CHEAP BEEP.

- ----- •
Tho attempt to popularise Australian meat was
continued on Wednesday by the giving of a dinner
to several hundred working men and women of South
London. The guests ate specimens of Australian
meat properly cooked, declared they liked it,
and were informed that excellent food of the
kind, free from bone, might bo sold in
this country for fourpence halfpenny a pound
—about one-third the price of the best English
beef. Three members of Parliament Messrs.
M'Arthur, Hughes, and Reed—were present, and
they all gave kindred testimony. Australian meat
is not to be compared to the best home-killed animal
food; but it is savoury and nutritious, and the work-
ing man who cannot eat it deserves no pity. The
merits of the meat were not exaggerated ; it was not
alirmed that beef from Australia would regenerato
this benighted land; but it may nevertheless prove
a great blessing to our starving population.

AIIONGST THE LISIIOPS.
Judging by a letter in the Telegraph, one ought
not atter all to expect such hard things from the
Bishops who are assembling at Rome for the (Ecume-
nical Council. As the Council begins on the Bth,
the Telegraph is quite right in opening fire from
its
_Special Correspodeiit. This gentlemaa_l4o4

nurri©a to -ttome nas cast as rea=not---coms ana
boiling water" would carry him. He tells us a good
deal about the fine weather he had from Charing-
cross to Dijon, what bad weather he had from Dijon
to the Italian Duchies, how the Alps looked, how the
Appenines looked, though, strangely enough for a
Telegrto correspondent, he says very little about
what there was to eat. He fell in with
some Bishops, however, on the way, and a very
hopeful account of them he gives. The road to Rome
swarms with Bishops. They are pouring in from all
parts of the habitable globe. There are trains and
boats full of Bishops. Nor are they at all of that
austere nature,so impressed with overwhelming respon-
as might have been expected. Some whom
the traveller had for his companions were exceedingly
courteous, full of jest and anecdote, and excellent
companions. The venerable fathers did not disdain
the comforts of this world; they partook liberally of
the good things which the Italian buffets afford ; nor
did they despise the fragrant weed or the pungent
rappee. If these specimens represent the whole
number, we need not be under such apprehension of
reactionary measures. A smoking and snuff-taking
race of Catholic Bishops will not endeavour to make
the world retrace its stem very far.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
J EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold 9, confirmed cases 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 aro 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.
Prepared 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
