Yesterday all the available military forces in
the western district were reviewed by Sir Charles
Staveley, K.C.8., at Devonport. They were in
two brigades. The first was composed of the 57th
Regiment, the 2d Devon Battalion of Rifle Volun-
teers, and the Ist Devon Militia, under Brigadier
Lieut.-Col. Logan, C. 8., 57th Regiment, and Bri-
gadier-Major Capt. Shanks, Royal Marine Light
Infantry. The 2d Brigade was formed by the 2d
Battalion Rifle Brigade, the 2d Devon (South
Devon) Militia, a detachment of the 3d Buffs, and
the Royal Marines in garrison, under Brigadier-
Colonel Gloyn, C. 8., of the Rifle Brigade, and
Brigadier-Major Capt. Lascelles, also of the Rifle
Brigade. The Ist Devon Militia arrived by train
from Exeter in the morning. The troops numbered
upwards of 4,000. The Volunteers were commanded
by Col. the Earl of Mount Edgcombe, who came
over specially from France to be present with his
battalion. The weather was fine and the review
was quite a success. The Volunteers acquitted
themselves exceedingly well.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced en entirely new de-
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 COLONIAL GOVERNOR ON COLONIAL POLICY.

Mr. E. A. Weld, the late Prime Minister of Nevi
Zeahnd, and the newly-appointed Governor of
Western Australia, was entertained at a banquet or
Saturday evening. The Colonial Secretary war
in the chair, and many celebrated persons were
present. The only important s)eech was made by Mr
Weld'himself. lie gave as the reason for his selec-
tion that the views which he had on colonial policy
were in accordance with those of the Government.
He thought—and had always been fearless in
expounding his opinion—that every colony should be
allowed to develop° its self-reliant qualities. As
they were allowed to shew themselves independent,
so would the sympathy and the interest of English-
men he obtained.

CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.

Clergymen, beware of rum and milk ! The Rev.
L. Mordacque, the vicar of Haslingden, being ill, was
ordered that medicinal compound by his doctor, and
has almost lost his vicarage
in -consequence. Some
of his parishioners presented
a petition to the
Bishop of Manchester, charging him with
drunkenness ; and though the charge has been
dismissed, the evidence... being very conflicting,
Mr. Mordacque was advised to discontinue the use of
a medicine so dangrerous. Prudence, said the judg-
ment, ought to have suggested a less suspicious
restorative.

THE VOLUNTEERS AT A REAL FIGHT.

-----
It would really seem as if every time our volun-
teers displayed themselves in public they were to
give rise to some fresh scandal. There was a field-
day in Hyde Park on Saturday. The roughs broke
through the line, and there ensued a regular fight,
which, according to the Morning Post, was aggra-
vated by the conduct of the 6th Tower Hamlets.
In one melee at least a thousand persons were
engaged, and Captain Waller, of the St. George's,
was most roughly handled. The mounted police
were at length obliged to interpose, and but for them
there would certainly have been bloodshed. It is
clear that military spectacles in Hyde Park aro very
risky experiments.

SIIMIT, IUT XOT SWEET.

The following advertisement appears at the head
of the agony column in the Tit;ws:—"
hereby give you notice that I expel yon from our
partnership concern, under Clause 95 of the partner-
ship decd.—E.ll." This is a somewhat rapid disso-
lution of partnership. The neat advertisnnent would
seem to imply a rapidly-approaching baninuptcy

A KING IN THE LAW (OMITS.

" All roads lead to Rome ; " all suitors go to the
English law courts. Now it is a nun seeking redress
for alleged ill-treatment; now it is a beggar asking
protection for his person ;now_ it is a king asking pro-
tection for his property. lung George of Hanover, or
,as ho would style himself George, King of Hanover,
and his son, the Crown Prince, filed a bill before Vice-
Chancellor James, on Saturday, against the Bank of
England, the Puke of Cambridge, and the Duke of
Brunswick, respecting a sum of 00,000 invested in
Consols. It is not often that such a number of
" swells" are in the court at once.

AN IRISH IVA 1,7 E.

Why don't hospital authorities respect ancient
traditions ? An Irish labourer died ac other day in
the Westminster Ilospital, and forthwith an influen-
tial deputation from the teas-nes of the surround-
ing district waited upon the authorities to claim the
body. They wanted to " wake" it. The reply
was that not even the solemn ceremonial of a
"wake " could take place before an inquest was
held ; but the deputation were not satisfied. The
desire to alarm the metropolis by howls of grief and
to consume a boundless quantity of whisky, was so
strong that the Irish stormed the hospital, entered
the dead-house, and carried off the body. It was
brought back the next day with an apology. It
seems that the time has come for a reform in
" wakes "as in other matters. Irish relatives must
be content to have their deceased with them in
the spirit, and dispense with attendance in the
flub.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 1711 per £1 sterlin..
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
ils. 100. per ounce f'or standard gold, it appe.srs that
gold at the above price is Cie same in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at 6
days' sight was on the 31st ult. 110. per cent. At this rate there
is a proilt on the importation of gold from the United Statts.

THE ST, PANCRAS GUARDIANS.

It must be a great honour to be a guardian of the
poor for the metropolitan parish of St. Pancras. St.
Pancras possesses (at least so we hope) no common
Board. Its members use language so sweet,
gentle, and mild, and, corporately, they take such
extraordinary courses that, we repeat, it must be a
great honour to belong to their body. They shone
in all their brilliant perfection on Monday last. They
had an opportunity for courtesy, and such as has
rarely fallen to the lot of a board of guardians, :Luc]
they did not neglect it. The letter from the Poor-law
Board, suspending a, greater part of their functions,
was read to them, and .they immediately began
to pass compliments. One was very bold, and
dared the Poor-law Board to do its woist,
comparing Mr. Goschen to Oliver Cromwell,
and speaking of him as a remorseless tyrant.
But the love shewn to outsiders —if we
measure it by the language used—was nothing to the
kindliness of heart which overflowed towards each
other. One speaker was informed that he was a liar,
another that he was a libeller, and a third that he
was a perjurer. A Mr. North told a Mr. Chandler
that he was an "arrant ass." Amidst excitement,
general indignation, and universal feelings that
English liberty should never be trampled upon, it
was courageously resolved—" That the letter do lie
upon the table."

DIVORCE COURT

The case of " Vivian v. Vivian and the Marquis of
Waterford," came before Lord Penzance to-day, The pe-
titioner in the case is the ion. John Cranch Walker
Vivian, M.P. for the borough of Truro, who sues for
a divorce from his wife, Florence Grosvenor Vivian,
on the ground of her adultery with John Henry De la
Poer Beresford, Baron Tyrone, Marquess of Waterford, of
Curraghmore, in the county of Waterford in Ireland, the
co-respondent. The respondent answered, denying the
adultery, as did also the co-respondent.
The parties were married in Juno, 1861, and after the
marriage they chiefly resided at Lowndes-street, Belgrave-
square. There are three children the issue of the mar-
riage. The first suspicion the petitioner had of an im-
proper intimacy between his wife and the co-respondent
was from two letters, one from the wife to the marquess,
and another from the latter in reply. That was in
March last. Soon after that the respondent eloped with
the marquess, and proceeded with him to Paris, where
they put up at the Hotel Westminster. They were
found there by the petitioner's friends, to whom the
respondent confessed that she had slept with the mar-
quess the night before They were stated to be still
living there.
The case was proceeding when we went to press.

INTERNATION.4L BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, Two o'clock.

The Harvard crow have been out this morning, and
wont as far as Chiswick and back, exhibiting better
form than they have yet shown. They go out again
at about six o'clock. The Oxford coxswain was
down this morning, and there is a rumour that the
Oxonians will arrive to-day at Putney; this, however, is
not likely, as they have only been at Pangbourne
few drys.

PUBLIC SURVEYS.--Congress has tipprepriatea
for public surveys the ensuing year, in California,
$50,u00 ; in Arizona, $5,000 ; and limited the rates pet
mile for running standards to $l5, for township and sec-
tion lines, to $lO per mile. The Commissioner directs
the Surveyor-General to expend a reasonable share
of the appropriation in California in surveying
lands along the route of the Central Pacific Rail-
road, in mineral regions, and in other localities where
the public interest may bo subserved. in Nevada,
along the Pacific Railroad (Humboldt and Lander coun-
ties), 230,400 acres, watered by the Humboldt River, and
now easily accessible, have recently been reported by the
Virginia City office as surveyed. in Oregon a tide of
emigration is flowing southwards, and the Sentinel calls
for the survey of the Goose Lake country.-111ining and

TILE QUAKERS AND 7EE INDIANS.

'When Gent al Grant entered upon tl:e duties of Presi-
dent, one of Lis first acts was to g've the Quakers the
management of the troublesome " Indian question." This
proceeding excited no little criticism ; but it appears
that the administration of the Society of Friends has met
with considerable success. A white man was recently
killed by the Pawnees. The Quaker agent immediately
called all the tribe teg).ther, and told them that the supplies
furnished by the Government would not be distributed
until the murde)ers were given up. The Pawnees dis-
covered the guilty t artier, e'ght in numter, surrendered

them, and the Quaker agent at mice distributed the sup-
plies to the value of several hundred dollars. This good
faith deliLlded the Indians, who declared that nothing tf
the kind had ever been done before. Previously the
whites retaliated, and a small war, accompanied by massa-
cre and outrage, was the general sequence.

FREE TRADE AND PROTECTION.

Protection is again being taken up as a cry by a
section of the working men. The impression seems
to be gaining ground that the cause of the present
depression and distress in this country is Free Trade.
A meeting has been held on the subject in the
borough of Chelsea, and a resolution was passed:—
"That the principle of Free Trade should be based upon
an equality of international exchanges ; but other nations
not having adopted the principle, it has hitherto become
injurious to England, and is the cause of the present
depression of trade, the want of employment, and the
increase of pauperism. This meeting, therefore,eonsiders
it to be the duty of the Government to institute an
immediate inquiry into the working of our commercial
policy, with the view of ascertaining how far this
unreciprocated Free Trade contributes towards producing
this depression, want of employment, and pauperism ; and
to what extent it may be limited so as to produce un
effectual remedy."

Several speakers dissented from the motion, but they
were in a minority; and a petition to Parliament,
praying for an inquiry into the subject, was agreed
to.

THE CASE OF FANNY OLIVER.

Mrs. Oliver, the woman sentenced to death for
poisoning her husband, will, instead, undergo the
punishment of penal servitude for life. This com-
mutation will provide for any doubt that may exist
as to her guilt, though it involves the awkward
dilemma that if such doubt be reasonable the
woman ought to be set free, and, if not, her crime is
one for which the only legal punishment is death.
The _Daily News says :—" We are not amongst
those who doubted of the guilt of the unfortunate
woman; neither can those be who are now consign-
ing her to life-long toil and degradation; and we
cannot but submit that it would be wiser on the
whole frankly to abolish capital punishment outright
than to resort in individual cases to commutations
which distinctly repeal the law."

MR. GRENVILLE MURRAY.

Though Mr. Grenville Murray's letter—of which we
have already given a summary by telegraph—cannot be
accepted as a satisfactory explanation of his conduct,
yet he must have fair play. He complains that the
prosecution against him is got up by an avowed
personal enemy, who has expressed his intention of
" smashing" Mr. Grenville Murray, "if it cost
a thousand pounds." Such language undoubtedly
does deserve strong reprobation ; and it is to
be deplored that a prosecution which may or may
not be justifiable has been undertaken in such a
spirit: Mr. Murray complains, too, that five eminent
counsel and four great firms of solicitors are arrayed
against him, whilst to oppose this host he has, so to
speak, nobody. This is undoubtedly a disadvantage,
though it is to be expected that the prosecution will
obtain the best aid in its power. Mr. Murray offers,
further, to prove that he was not the author of the
articles, " Our Hereditary Legitlators ;" which is
highly satisfactory. But he is wrong when
he says that nothing has been proved
against him, and that his case has been pre-
judged. Ilis antecedents, as described in the
Blue-book which records his dismissal from the
Consul-Generalship of Odessa, are not in his favour.
lie admits, too, that he was connected—no matter
in what way—to a considerable extent with the
Queen's Messenger. Is this nothing against him ?

Mn. 'WIIALLEY UPON MR. MURPRY.

Poor Mr. Murphy has been much " put upon," and
his friend, the member for Peterborough, comes
forward to vindicate his character. Ile writes to the
7inie3 calling attention to a paragraph stating that
Mr. Murphy had urged the Protestants of Birmingham
to drive the Roman Catholics out of that town :
" I have made such inquiry as to the truth of that
report," Mr. Whalley says, "as to justify me in stating
that it is a deliberate fabrication; and wholly' without
foundation. In requesting you will insert this letter, I
think it right to add that on previous occasions I have
ascertained that Mr. Murphy's language and conduct have
been grossly misrepresented in the public journals."

SALE OF CUBA TO THE UNITED STATES.

The Times' City article, notwithstanding recent denials,
seems to put credence in a strong rumour that the pre-
liminaries of a bargain between the United States and
Spain with respect to Cu')a have been arranged. The terms
are said to be that Spain will recognise the independence
of Cuba, and will receive from the new Government 100
millions of dollars (P. 20,000,000) in bonds to be secured on the
revenues of the island and guaranteed by the United States.
This sum would set Spain fr, e from financial difficulty,
and the bargain seems a highly advantageous ore. Much,
however, depends upon what the Span'ardg think of
selling their island. They arc a'ways prtujebt when they

TUE WONDERS OF COMPETITION.

The song of the glory of competition has yet to be
sung. What it has given us only a poet's pen could
tell. Prose would be apt to let out such secrets as half-
ruined railway companies, altogether broken trades-
men, bankrupt banks, and impoverished homes; but
the poet, looking on the brighter side, would
tell another tale. To the coming Laureate,
then, we recommend the fact that competition
has given such facilities for intercommunications
between England and Ireland as never were before.
Inhabitants of Liverpool are invited to take a
journey across to Dundalk for 3d. "To Ireland and
back for Cd." is the advertisement. It would be
curious to know if cheap fares in this case are
paying. If they are, there is a grand chance of
commerce between the two countries.

r.t3.-Ni.r.ss

The latest d'scovery from the work! of science is in
the right direction. Dr. Richardson has communi-
cated to the British Medical Association an explana-
tion of an instrument by which surgical operations
can be performed without pain, chloroform, ether
spray, or any other anresthetic. The invention is
based on the fact that velocity of incision prevents
pain. The cutter is small enough to carry in the
pocket. By it abscesses can be laid open, carbuncles
divided, and other minor and daily-needed operations
performed " without knowledge or consciousucul of
pain " on the part of the patient.

THE CABLISTg.

A letter from Bayonne says that the supporters of Don
Carlos are very numerous at that town as well as at
Biarritz and St. Jean de Luz. They appear to be wait-
ing the order to cross the frontier. A journal published
in the Carlist interest speaks of the agitation as being
everywhere; the Government reports affirm that the
movement is crushed utterly. The deduction to be made
from the mass of chaotic details is that the rising, sup-
ported as it is by the clergy, has not yet been put down ;
but there is no evidence whatever as to its making any pro-
gress. The correspondent of the Inclipendance Beige says
that the total of the Carlist bands first gathered in the
neighbourhood of Ciudad Real amounted to 3,000 men,
and that some severe engagements have taken place.
Many of the insurgents have, however, dispersed, and
there is no reason for thinking that the movement is likely
to succeed.

A SCHLESWIG-110LSTEI1 CANAL.

The Prussian Government seems to have filially deter-
mined that a canal through Schleswig-Holstein, joining
the North Sea and the Baltic, and converting the penin-
sula of Jutland into an island, is necessary to the
development of North Germany as a naval Power. The
North German Correspondent rays that the preliminary
surveys are complete, and the work will now be pushed
on by the Government itself. Why should it not? There
is everything in favour of Prussia becoming a great naval
Power, the length of the canal is short, and the cost, 4i
millions sterling, not excessive, considering the impor-
tance of the work.

WESTMINSTER.

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.—Harriet Botway, a respectable-
looking young woman, was charged with attempting to
commit suicide.
Folice-constable 323 I, said he was on duty near Cre-
morns, and saw the prisoner looking at the water. Front
her excited state ho watched her, and at length she
climbed over some rails, and went to the water. He fol-
lowed,and she said she was unhappy, and meant to drown
herself, and if ho let her go the would jump over Latter-
sea-bridge. He then took lur to the station.
Prisoner said her husbani bad deserted her, and left
her with a child three years old. She could not beg or
steal, and the parish would Lot relieve her because it was
not her parish, and she therefore saw nothing before her
but suicide.

Mr. Arnold—And have ycur little child to the mercies
of the world. You are remaided till Tuesday.
Mary Anne Ramsbottom, Wore charged with attempted
suicide, was charged with tin same offence..
Newport, 334 A, saw tin prisoner try to jump over
Westminster-bridge, but showas prevented by a gentle-
man. She stated that a man le had lived with had left
her, and she did not know whrt to do or where to go.
Mr. Arnold said she was a Et eat nuisance at this court,
and remanded her for a week.

MORE FIRES.—The cotchfactory of Messrs.
Robinson and Naples, s:tuntei at Limehouse, was totally
destroyed this morning. Fourother fires were reported to
the Board of Works this mormig, but tLe damage done at
each was inconsiderable.

The cattle in some pats of Surrey have been
attacked with an epidemic of E contagious character. It
is said to be of a similar type b that which preceded the
outbreak of rinderpest in June 1865, and it is spreading
rapidly through the county.

GUANO IN nussi.t.

An interesting discovery is announced by an agri-
cultural paper of Russia. A large guano deposit has
been found on one of the estates in the province of
Esthonia, which borders on the Gulf of Finland. The
bed was accidentally lighted upon by some workmen em-
ployed in draining. the land, "and it is supposed by those
who have studied the matter that the layer in question
was formed so long ago as in the ear:y days before the
deluge." The chief layer was found at a distance of six
feet below the surface of the soil, and measures 2,000 feet
long by ninety wide. Its volume is calcu'ated at ISO,COO
cubic feet. Similar deposits are surpcsed to exist along
the shore about Revel. The discovery must prove of in-
estimable value to the agriculture of Russia, and, as the
province adjoins the coast, to Europe also.

FORESTAL RIGHTS OF THE CROWN.

Mr. Lowe has no comfort for those whose souls
have been grieved by the encroachments of Lords
of the Manor upon open forests and commons. There
is no help for it, he tells the malcontents. He for one
will not step in and exercise the privileges of the
Crown by preventing manorial rights from being
enforced. Indeed, he told a deputation which waited
upon him about Epping Forest that he did
not think the Crown had any power in these
days to interfere at all. It was shewn to him that a
king could order Epping Forest to be kept clear for
hunting ; but that power, he replied, extended only
to the chase. The Sovereign no longer hunted there ;
and there was no reason, therefore, for enforcing the
law. Mr. Lowe did not see that the " Crown's"
pleasure in most cases now meant the people's
pleasure, and he thought it was not equitable that
what had originally vested in the sovereign for a
specific purpose should now vest in the public for a
similar purpose.
