TIIF rnErmr.:; OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN'.

The ancient freemen of the corporation and city of
Dublin are so far conservative in their views that
they see nothing out of the way in receiving the
" usual " gift from the candidate on whom they be-
stow their suffragls. But the march of modern
notions interferes somewhat with their privilege in
that respect, and if they do not deign to learn how
the world thinks on that question, they arc likely
to have all the rest of their privileges taken from
them. The Freeinad's .7intrizat, curiously enough,
denounces the freemen's franchise as " base, odious,
indefensible," and calls loudly for a Royal Commis-
sion. The issue of this would probably be the sup-
pression of the freemen altogether. Paupers, and
next removed from paupers, are hardly those who
should have the franchise, however convenient the
arrangement may be as tending to ward off claims
from those classes for representation.

A YEAR OF DROUGHT.

The British Medical Journal publishes an article
on " The Year of Drought," which will, we imagine,
effectually put a stop to the scheme for bringing the
waters of the Cumberland Lakes into London. It
appears that while during last summer London was
abundantly supplied with water, 106 to 113 million
gallons daily being poured into the metropolis, the Lan-
cashire towns, and even a town closely adjoining the
Lakes, were in the utmost distress for want of water.
Every kind of device was resorted to by the local
authorities to secure a supply of water for even the
most urgent purposes of life. On the one hand, the
use of water for sanitary purposes was entirely pro-
hibited. There were no flushings of sewers or
urinals ; no washings of streets or courts ; no
employment of water baths; and even for trade
and manufacturing purposes the supply was reduced
to about half. On the other hand, with a view of
increasing the supply, the neighbouring rivers were
resorted to ; water was purchased from millowners ;
old wells that had been abandoned on account of
their objectionable quality were again brought into
nse ; and in one case the inhabitants gladly received
the drainage-water from a colliery. The marvel is
that cholera or some other virulent disease
did not break out in those towns. Probably the
immunity was due to the drainage works which
were constructed under the Public Works Act of
1863 ; in other words, Lancashire may have owed its
freedom from pestilence to the cotton famine. It
would seem almost as if another famine were needed
in order to induce the people of Lancashire to con-
struct suitable waterworks. HoweVer that may be,
it is not at all likely that they will consent to see the
water of the Lakes carried past their doors to the
omnivorous capital.

PRACTICAL PRAYERS.

The r: . James Ormiston, who received the
rebuke of Archbishop Tait, when Bishop of London,
for having made a sham confession to Mr. Mackonochie
at St. Alban's, has just succeeded in opening a new
church, which was consecrated a few days ago by
Bishop Jackson. Mr. Ormiston has printed, for the
use of his congregation, a list of subjects which he
wishes them to " bear before the throne of grace."
The first is against his High Church brethren, and is
as follows :—" That during the year 1869 the spirit
of the Lord may lift up a standard against the deadly
encroachments of Antichrist, the spread of
formalism, and the proud pretensions of infi-
delity." The last is for himself : " That our God
would be pleased to send the means of liqui-
dating the debt on the new church." It
will be seen that Mr. Ormiston does not
limit the time during which he will be
happy to receive subscriptions ; it is only resistance
to the " deadly encroachments of Antichrist," &c.,
which he would confine to the year 1b69.

A strapping Irish woman was this morning brought
before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting the porter at the
workhouse of St. George's-in-the-East. According to the
evidence she had been refractory in the house, and when
remonstrated with she " slipped into the porter." She
was sent to prison for two months.

THE EDUCATION BILL.

The Government Education Bill was published
yesterday. It is backed with the names of Mr.
Forster and Mr. Secretary Bruce. It contains some
sixty-four clauses, and deals only with endowed
schools. It is divided into two parts, the one refer-
ring to the reorganisation of these schools, to the
position to be taken by the governing bodies, &c.;
and the other to the examinations to be conducted
in them, to their privileges, &c., and the qualifica-
tions of the master. The bill occupies some twenty
pages of foolscap.
44 TIME, TIIE AVENGER."

Twenty-two years ago Mr. John Arthur Roebuck
was turned out of his seat by the Low Church
party at Bath because he was popularly reported to
be an infidel. Instead of him was chosen Lord
Ashley, the present Earl of Shaftesbury. Times are
changed since then. When the Irish Church Suspen-
sory Bill came on for discussion in the Lords last year,
Lord Shaftesbury_ had little or nothing to say against
it; but in the Commons Mr. Roebuck delivered a
violent tirade against it. A correspondent of the
Rock now proposes that Mr. Roebuck's speech shall
be reprinted from "Hansard," as one of the best
defences for the Irish Church from a political point
of view which could be made. Unfortunately Mr.
Roebuck weakened the force of his arguments by
voting for the very bill he denounced.

TILE EXPLORATIONS IN PALESTINE.

Mr. Grove has published a letter just received
from Lieutenant Warren, who is conducting the ex-
plorations in Palestine, giving an interesting account
of his recent discoveries. Ile has succeeded in ex-
amining a cistern situated in the little garden at the
Haram Area at Jerusalem, and on getting down into
it, and lighting the magnesium wire, he was
astonished t) find himself in a large substructure,
which he at first thought was a church, similar to
the cathedral at Cordova-. It is 1;3 feet from north
toy RIM feet. from cast to west, having nine rec-
tangular bays, joined by four piers, from which
spring arches. In the south wall is a stair-
case, leading up to the surface"of the Haram, which
has been open within memory. Two other openings
lead up to other entrances. Lieutenant Warren
could not divest himself of the impression that he
had got into a church, the vaults were so unlike any
known tan!,s in Jerusalem. lie found it impossible
to believe that such a structure was built merely for
a tank. Some large stones were found huddled
together at the bottom of the water, which the
discoverers think are evidence of the roof having
fallen in and been replaced. Further details of
this curious structure are given by Lieutenant
Warren, and the dis::overy affords interesting proof

THE CHANGE IN THE MUSICAL PITCH.

The Hon. Seymour Egerton writes to the Times
respecting the adoption of one reon.---;---1 ft.l---
tne musical world, and. sums up the arguments he has
heard for and against the pmposed change. Vocalists
would be the gainers by it ; and alti, contralti, and
basses have shewn no repugnance to the idea.
Singing-masters agree with them, while conductors
will be thankful for uniformity. Mr. Egerton, who
has no slight experience in this direction, says that
only those who have had the direction of from
twaity to sixty gentlemen amateurs, each with his
own pet A, can know what a relief a " diapason
normal" would be. It has been said that the violins
will lose brilliancy by the lowered pitch, but Mr.
Seymour has been assured that they will speak out
more richly from being able to carry heavier strings.
The flutes, oboes, and their kindred in the French
orchestras, cannot be surpassed for tone and finish,
and the same may be said of the family of brass
instruments. Mr. Egerton holds that the objection
of increased expense consequent upon the change of
pitch will not be irremediable, and he is extremely
anxious that one uniform standard should be agreed
upon.

INSANITY AND ASYLUMS.

The Pall Mall Gazelle has just called attention to a serious
fact, that although wo have greatly improved our mode of
treating the insane, insanity is increasing in a greater ratio
than the population. The Times has an article on the sub-
ject of Hospitals for the Insane, which derives all the more
interest from the abeve-meutioned unsatisfactory state-
ment. Attention is called to a defect in English medical
education,there being no examining hoard which requires from
its candidates any knowledge of lunacy or evidence of having
had opportunities of studying it. ft is not surprising that under
these circumstances the treatment of insanity does not keep
pace with the general progress of medical science, and " mad
doctors" live in a little world of their own. The sad conse-
quence of this want of facility in obtaining knowledge of the
subject is that medical practitioners know nothing of the
premonitory stages of insanity. Tho first signs of failing
brain power come under the notice of persons who have
never learnt to interpret them, and no ono is taken to a
"mad doctor" before being manifestly mad. The
specialists themselves see the first signs of madness
too seldom, and the public falls to the ground between two
stools. There are no resources against developed madness
but locking up 800 or 1,000 lunatics together and placing
them under the charge of two or three doctors who have
had no kind of training for their duties. It is observed in
this article that the heads of the profession in England have
signally failed in the subjects of medical education, and the
publicbeforelong must be brought to understand and control
it. Medical education takes no account of maladies that aro
worse than death, and it is time that this anomaly should
cease. Hospitals for the insane should be thrown open for
students, and lectures upon insanity should be delivered at
all medical schools.

The Paris correspondent of the Evening Standard tele
graphs as follows :

" Penis, Feb. 18.
"A fearful collision took place last night between Toulon
and Nice. A steam packet, the Prince Pierre, was rut
down by the war steamer Latouche Treville, bound tc
Nice, where it was to take the corpse of Fuad Pasha of
board. About 16 of the passengers of the steamer were
drowned. A member of the Corps Ldgislatif saved him
self dit-on by swimming. The man-of-war was badly
damaged."

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The Daily News thus sums up the election petitions j,
the week :—" No member of either party has been unseaAtv;
The resalts on the Liberal side have been as follows :-:;;;;ic
petitions against the return of Mr. Loch for the."
l d
Burghs, Messrs. Price and Monk for Gloucester CitY, Ajleo

withdrawn, while at Greenock Mr. Grieve, and at TA
worth Sir R. Peel and Sir H. Bulwer have been decls',
duly elected. Of the petitions presented against the C°lllo
servative members, the case against Mr. Jack-sen'tsf,
Hartlepool, was withdrawn ; while at Staleybridge
Sidebotham, and in Westminster Mr. Smith, have Iler
declared duly elected. Up to this time 49 petitions, Peses
sented against 31 Liberals and 18 Conservatives, have b tifr
disposed of. Only three Liberals have lost their OA
against four Conservatives. "
The defence at Coventry is still being conducte
some cases it is a matter of credibility of witnesses;
side positively stating that money was paid for ceroo
illegal purposes, the other denying the alleged transect4lol
in tote. Mr. Seymour, solicitor, and the sole profeo4° e.
agent of the sitting members, declared that he did notite
tion nor had he any knowledge of corrupt practices ; to
toov
gave special instructions that they should be avoided'
that it was a special direction that the Leicester''
should not be paid anything either in money or in On of
for conveyance. He did not authorise the paynlen,,ol
expenses to the two London out-voters by a man 131''io
Moore. Witness explained that the fact of certainlteto
in election expenses being unvouched was owing t° lye
illness of the person who was acting as the clerk tA)
agent for election expenses.

SP.kII,T.

The Provisional Government's term of office expired
as soon as the Cortes was constituted. This latter pro-
cess has been going on since the opening of the Chamber,
and is now complete. In view of the coming change an
important meeting of the majority has been held, and it
has been resolved that Marshal Serrano be entrusted with
the formation of a new Cabinet, embodying the sovereign
executive power. It is expected that most of the members
of the Provisional Government will take office in the new
Ministry. In fact, the formation of a Cabinet will be little
more than a matter of form ; the course of administration
will not be interrupted.

THE FREEMEN OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN.

The ancient freemen of the corporation and city of
Dublin are so far conservative in their views that
they sec nothing out of the way in receiving the
" usual " gift from the candidate on whom they be-
stow their suffrages. But the march of modern
notions interferes somewhat with their privilege in
that respect, and if they do not deign to learn how
the world thinks on that question, they are likely
to have all the rest of their privileges taken from
them. The Freenzan's JGurnal curiously enough,
denounces the freemen's franchise as " base, odious,
indefensible," and calls loudly for a Royal Commis-
sion; The issue of this would probably be the sup-
pression of the freemen altogether. Paupers, and
next removed from paupers, are hardly those who
should have the franchise, however convenient the
arrangement may be as tending to ward off claims
from those classes for representation.

CANADA.

The measures for the incorporation of the Hudson's
Bay territory with the dominion of Canada move slowly
onwards. The Canadian delegates have sent to Earl
Granville their reply to the claim of the Hudson's
Bay Company for a large money payment. The
Canadian News understands that this reply cha-
racterises the " territorial rights " of the company
as utterly untenable. It concludes with the request that
her Majesty's Government will now take the necessary
steps to transfer Rupert's Land to the Dominion on the
terms already offered by the Canadian Parliament. As
we have previously mentioned, Canada offers vrry little
money payment.

ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will bo 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 chat aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restoro articulation and mastication. Decayed
tooth stopped and rendored sound and useful in masti-
