THE PRESS ON A PRINCE.

Our correspondent at Putbus has kindly sent us a copy
of the leading journal of that principality, the Putbusser
Pallmallische Zeitung. This paper, lately reduced to a
groschen, bases its fame not only on the accuracy of its
views and intelligence, but on the reproduction of public
opinion from all sources on matters of general interest.
A s an instance of the manner in which the journal is con-
flucted, we will merely give a page of extracts on an event
that has caused recently much excitement throughout the

" Yesterday (June 30) the Crown Prince attended the
three hundredth anniversary of the Society of Carvers
and Gilders. On his health being drunk, his Highness
responded as follows :—' It has given me much pleasure to
be present at your meeting to-day. It has also given me
pleasure that you have drunk my health. The Carvers
and Gilders have always been loyal to the Sovereign. I
drink to their health. The memory of this day will be
carved and gilded on my heart for ever.'"

SPIRITUAL MAAIFESTATIONS.

Some more extraordinary "revelations of spiritualism"
were made at the last meeting of the Dialectical Society.
The Master of Lindsay handed in a paper detailing a
portion of his experiences. In answer to questions, he
stated that he was present when Mr. Home was carried
out of one window into the air, eighty-five feet above the
ground, and brought in at another window. On one occa-
sion he saw the apparition of Mr. Home's late wife when
sleepLig in the same room with Mr. Home. He remem-
bered.that a friend at Rome, when he was there, one day
advised him to play on three particular numbers. He
declined. His friend said he had dreamed those numbers
wltuld win, played for a small snm, and won.

Mr. Thomas Rowcroft, of South Norwood, stated that
he attended a seance last autumn, and among other extra-
ordinary phencmen% he had seen a spirit hand moving the
keys of an accordion, and most brilliant music produced.
The family commenced a hymn tune, but the key being
too low, the instrument gave the true pitch. The family
then sang three verses, the spirit playing in perfect time
and tune.

Mr. J. Jones, of Enmore Park, said that lie had at
twilight seen Mr. Home floating in the air on his back,
about six feet from the gronnd, as if in water— there was
no action of his body, simple floating in the air as if. carried
by a current; that he bad, in the presence of several per-
sons sitting at an ordinary table, seen an exquisi tely-forrned
band and part of an arm rise between the dress and black
lace fall of a lady ; recognised the' hand as that of
a deceased relative ; that he had scores of times
been touched by spiritual beings, and the sensation was
like that which would be felt by the pressure of a glove
filled with air. lie bad often seen the form of a hand
rise between the table and the cloth. On one occasion
the band dissolved while be was vigorously pressing it ;
that on one occasion, in a party, be sang " God save the
Queen," and a spirit played the seconds on an accordion.
He once attended a dark seance. Before the lights were
put out he poured phosphorised oil on several musical in-
struments. When the lights were put out the instruments
were seen to ascend swiftly in the air, and float swiftly
round the room.

Dr. - narrated that a medical friend ca'led on a lady
patient. She said: "Last night I dreamt that the winner
of the Derby would be No. 19 on the racing card." lie
made inquiry, found No. 19 was " nowhere ;" 20 to 1
against it ; he Lock the bets, and cleared £2,000.

Mr. J- narrated that, when his late wife was ill,
early in March, he heard a voice, as if in the centre of his
head, repeating at short intervals, "The 7th, the 7th."
Considering it a prediction as to the fatal crisis day of his
wife, he went to the three attendants, told them that the
crisis day with Mrs. J. would be on the 7th of April, and
requested them to remember the date. When his two
sons came home in the afternoon he informed them. On
the morning of the 7th, when his wife was leaning on the
breast of one of her sons, she was seized. The scene was.
fearful.

THE OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. CASE.

To the many institutions, establishments, and
" causes" now supported by voluntary contributions
must be added great prosecutions. A committee of
those who are desirous of a searching inquiry into
the Overend, Gurney, and Co. case has been formed,
and an appeal for funds appears in the advertise-
ment sheets of some of our contemporaries, among
the reports of hospitals and other charitable institu-
tions. By the way, although the Attorney-General
is going to conduct the prosecution, it does not
appear that he will do so on behalf of the Govern-
ment.

DEAN STANLEY ON EDUCATION.

The Dean of Westminster is a firm believer in the
power of education, and a zealous advocate for its
universal extension. Among rich and poor, male
and female, he would have a higher culture main-
tained. lie is president of the City of London
Ladies' College,..and in distributing the prizes of the
session, on Tuesday, gave his opinion generally of
female education. Without going into detail, ho
laid down as a doctrine upon which female colleges
must be based that " the education of a young lady
ought to be one which would enable her to take a part
in all the branches of literature and social duties
with as much confidence as a man." The Dean added
a protest against the French system of examining,
productive of what we here call " cramming." The
first element of success, he thought, was that ono
thing should be learnt at a time, and that learnt
well. This was forgotten where everyone was striving,
to obtain enough information to pass a certain exa-
mination at a given time.

THE DISPOSAL OF THE SURPLUS.

An analysis of the division-list on Lord Cairns's amend-
ment for the postponement of the disposal of the surplus
shews that a large number of Liberal peers supported the
Conservative leader. The majority included the Arch-
bishops of Canterbury, York, and Dublin ; and
the Bishops of Bangor, Derry, Ely, Gloucester
and Bristol, Hereford, Lichfield, London, Roches.
ter, St.. David's, and 'Tam. The Bishop of
Oxford was the only member of the Episcopal
Bench who supported the Government. Some of
the most prominent Liberals who voted with the Opposi-
tion were the Dukes of Cleveland and Grafton, Earls
Cowley and Grey, and Lords Somerhill (the Marquis of
Clanricarde) and Stanley of Alderley. Lord Shaftesbury
and the Earl of Denbigh went into the lobby with the
minority ; Earl Russell did not vote. The four peers
created by Mr. Gladstone—Lords Hatherley, Lawrence,
Penzance, and Dunning—voted with the Government.

AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA

ft is not often that Englishmen know or care anything
about Venezuela, but just now the news comes thick and
fast from that obscure South American State. Our
telegram announcing the closing of Maracaibo to commerce
is supplemented by an official notice that no vessels wi.l
be henceforth allowed to clear for that port from the
United Kingdom. It appears that this closing. of
Maracaibo is owing to the doings of General Pulgar, an
individual hitherto unknown to fame, who is apparently
disposed to immortalise biniself by bringing about a
civil war in Venezuela. He bad seized the Customs
dues of that important seaport—which is the
capital of his province—disposing of them as he
thought fit, without rendering an account to the
Central Government at Caraccas. Pulgar, as a cable
telegram informs us, has now openly defied the Govern-
ment, and is in arms at the head of 6,000 men. Mara-
caibo was closed by order of the Venezuelan Foreign
Secretary, in order, it would seem, to cut off Pulgar's
source of revenue. We never hear any good of these
South American States ; they are chronically a prey either
to revolutions or earthquakes.

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 restorc articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-

Carlton Club a number of Conservatives of tender
years have been admitted, and so great is the clatter
which they keep up that notice has been given that
in future there will be an early dinner for the young-
sters at three o'clock. "This is a goak ;" at least we
believe it is.

aG ;• Z ACTION.

The defeated party th,,labe Nottingham election
assert that they intend to persist in their petition
against Mr. Seely, and Mr. I)igby Seymour pledges
himself to go to the poll again if his opponent is
succeeded. Counsel's opinion has been taken, and
the very safe reply has been made that if the cases
of alleged bribery are substantiated they will prove
sufficient to void the election.

MR. ROEBUCK ON TEE ARREST OF
MURPHY.

Mr. Roebuck wrote a letter to the recent meeting held
in Exeter Hall to protest against the arrest of Murphy,
the " No-Popery" agitator. The following is the
concluding passage of a very tong' epiistle devoted
to proving it to be most impolitic that Mr. Murphy
'Should be stopped :—"lt may le said that in the
case of shutting up the lecture-rooms of Mr.
Murphy and preventing his meetings, no law was
Vroken, as an old, obsolete, despotic law sanctioned the
Proceeding. This is • true. But the acting upon this
obsolete law was in reality a breach of the law, as it
has been acted on ever since the now obsolete law was
passed. The law was passed in times of great danger
and alarm, and has always, by that party to which Mr.
Bruce belongs, been deemed a gross violation of constitu.
tional freedom. And it must surprise and shock every
thoughtful man, that in these the palmy days of liberty,
when we have a Prime Minister who is par excellence
a: Liberal, that the despotic law of a Minister should
be dug up from the grave to which public prudence,
shame, and indignation had assigned it, for the purpose
of silencing a speaker whom you could or would not

answer."

The Wearmouth colliery strike, by wliich about
8,000 men and boys have been out of employ, has just ter_
urinated.

'The remains of Admiral Sir William Bowles were
on Wednesday buried at Kensial. green Cemetery. The pro-
qedings wore as private as possible, but a great many naval
off:c:rs were present at the cemetery.
The extent to which Cheshire suffered by the cattle
plague was demonstrated in a statement made by Mr. Laird,
jun., at the meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners on
Tuesday. No fewer than 73,600 cattle were slaughtered dur-
ing the epidemic, and the amount of compensation paid for
those destroyed after the passing of the Cattle Plague Act
(.3,,,C00) was nearly a quarter of a million sterling.

TIIE MINISTER'S WIFE.
By MRS. OLIPHA NT,
Author of "Chronicles of Cat lingford," " Salem Chapel," &c.
" The Minister's Wife' is a story which, like the country it
describes, is rich in pictures that are pleasant to see, scenes on
which the eye glf..dly lingers, and which, like the people it por-
trays, is subtle in its reasonings and shrewd in its opinions, elo-
quent in its outbursts of feeling, and very tender in its natural
and unrestrained pathos."—Saturday Review.

ment, 312, REGENT- STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
:ystem of p auless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. 11. L. Mosoly, is r. commented by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve-
ments of the cge for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functioos, can solely be obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years practical ex-
perielice) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this rystem is perfec: immunity

SPIRITUAL MAJNIFESTATIONS.

Some more extraordinary "revelations of spiritualism"
were made at the last meeting of the Dialectical Society.
The Master of Lindsay handed in a paper detailing a
portion of his experiences. In answer to questions, he
stated that he was present when Mr. Home was carried
out of one window into the air, eighty-five feet above the
ground, and brought in at another window. On one occa-
sion he saw the apparition of Mr. Home's late wife when
sleeping in the same room with Mr. Home. He remem-
bered that a friend at Rome, when he was there, one day
advised him to play on three particular numbers. He
declined. His friend said he had dreamed those numbers
would win, played for a small sum, and won.
Mr. Thomas Rowcroft, of South Norwood, stated that
he attended a séance last autumn, and among other extra-
ordinary phenomena he had seen a spirit hand moving the
keys of an accordion, and most brilliant music produced.
The family commenced a hymn tune, but the key being
too low, the instrument gave the true pitch. The family
then sang three veraes, the spirit playing in perfect time
and tune.

Mr. J. Jones, of Enmore Park, said that he had at
twilight seen Mr. Home floating in the air on his back,
about six feet from the ground, as if in water—there was
no action of his Lody, simple floating in the air as if carried
by a current ; that he had, in the presence of several per-
sons sitting at an ordinary table, seen an exquisitely-formed
hand and part of an arm rise between the dress and black
lace fall of a lady ; recognised the hand as that of
a deceased relative ; that he had scores d times
been touched by spiritual beings, and the sensation was
like that which would be felt by the pressure of a glove
filled with air. He had often seen the form of a band
rise between the table and the cloth. On one occasion
the hand dissolved while he was vigorously pressing it ;
that on one occasion, in a party, he sang " God save the
Queen," and a spirit played the seconds on an accordion.
He once attended a dark séance. Before the lights were
put out he poured phosphorised oil on several musical in-
struments. When the lights were put out the instruments
were seen to ascend swiftly in the air, and float swiftly
round the room.

Dr. - narrated that a medical friend caled on a lady
pat:ent. She said "'.bat I dreamt that the winner
of the Derby would be No. 19 on the racing card." lie
made inquiry, found No. 19 was "nowhere ;" 20 to 1
against it ; he took the bets, and cleared £2,000.
Mr. J- narrated that, when his late wife was ill,
early in March, he heard a voice, as if in the centre of his
head, repeating at short intervals, "The ith, the 7th."
Considering it a prediction as to the fatal crisis day of his
wife, he went to the three attendants, told them that the
crisis day with Mrs. J. would be on the 7th of April, and
requested them to remember the date. When his two
sons came home in the afternoon he informed them. On
the morning of the 7th, when his wife was leaning on the
breast of one of her sons, she was seized. The scene was
fearful.

THE JUNIOR CARLTON.

The Owl says that in order to fill up the Junior
Carlton Club a number of Conservatives of tender
years have been admitted, and so great is the clatter
which they keep up that notice has been given that
in future there will be an early dinner for the young-
sters at three o'clock. " This is a goak ;" at least we
believe it is.

1.46 cINGIIA3t .",ECTION.

The defeated Tarty f:.,) the late Nottingham election
assert that they intend to persist in their petition
against Mr. Seely, and Mr. Digby Seymour pledges
himself to go to the poll again if his opponent is
succeeded. Counsel's opinion has been taken, and
the very safe reply has been made that if the cases
of alleged bribery are substantiated they will prove
sufficient to void the election.

THE OVEREND, GITIINEY AND CO. CASE.

To the many institutions, establishments, and
" causes " now supported by voluntary contributions
must be added great prosecutions. A committee of
those who are desirous of a searching inquiry into
the Overend, Gurney, and Co. case has been formed,
and an appeal for funds appears in the advertise-
ment sheets of some of our contemporaries, among
the reports of hospitals and other charitable institu-
tions. By the way, although the Attorney-General
is going to conduct the prosecution, it does not
appear that he will do so on behalf of the Govern-
ment.

THE PRESS ON A PRINCE.

Our correspondent at Putbus has kindly sent us a copy
of the leading journal of that principality, the Putbusser
Pallinallische Zeitung. This paper, lately reduced to a
groschen, bases its fame not only on the accuracy of its
views and intelligence, hut on the reproduction of public
opinion from all sources on matters of general interest.
As an instanee of the manner in which the journal is con-
ducted, we will merely give a page of extracts on an event
that has caused recently much excitement throughout the
principality:—

" Yesterday (June 30) the Crown Prince attended the
three hundredth anniversary of the Society of Carvers
and Gilders. On his health being drunk, his Highness
responded as follows It has given me much pleasure to
be present at your meeting to-day. It has also given we
pleasure that you have drunk my health. The Carvers
and Gilders have always been loyal to the Sovereign. I
drink to their health. The memory of this day ill be
carved and gilded on my heart for ever.'"
(From Die Zeit.)
"The speech of the Prince is eminently of a practical
character. It addresses itself to the plain common sense
of the people. To none could it be more acceptable than
to the society to which it was delivered. Stripping the
subject of all surplusage, the Prince applied his mind to
what Mr. Gladstone calls the kernel of the question. In
the present state of the public mind his speech is calculated
to do much good."

(From Der Tagliche Telegraph.)

" Seldom has the invention of Franklin and Wheat-
stone, the philosophers of the two worlds, spread peace
and truth as last evening. Speeding over the air-Lost
wires flew the words of the Prince—flew from the House
of Johann von Groschen to the southernmost part of the
State—full of hope and exuberant joy—of promise, of
brightness, and of faith. Happy the society that could
elicit such words—happy the Prince who could speak
them—proud the country the scene of such great things."

(From Der Moven Stern.)

"Royalty depends for continuance on its possessors.
Royalty without virtue is a symbol and a sham. With
virtue it may be productive of use to the Democracy.
The speech of the fortunate young man who seeks to rule
our land is likely to do him good. Amid the tinsel and
corruption of Courts he seeks to keep his mind unsullied
and, to the best of his lights, to do his duty."

The directors draw special attention to the fact tbet 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
in the same.

The directors also draw atternion 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.
By order of the Board,
