THE CHOLERA.

On Wednesday afternoon, a conference, adjourned
fromthe 19th inst., took place between
ther Wednesday,epresentaties of the Metropolitan Visiting
Relief Association, of which the Bishop of London
is president, and the Mansion-house Committee, for
the purpose of considering the best means of uniting
the two funds, so as to enable the administrators of
both to work satisfactorily together in providing for,
the relief, permanent and otherwise, of the large
number of young persons who have been made
orphans by the cholera.

Lord Ebury presided, and there were present Sir
Mordaunt Wells, Mr. Tilson (assistant chairman of
the Surrey Sessions), the Rev. J. V. Povah, Mr.
Mr. J. C. Colquhoun,
Thomas Hankey, ;
Mr. Hassard, the Rev. Prebendary Blomfield, the
Rev. Prebendary Rogers, Mr. Cazenove, and other
gentlemen. Mr. William Calvert Shone attended
as honorary secretary.
Sir M. WELLS said that since the last meeting he,
on the part of the Mansion-house Committee, and
Mr. Tilson, on the part of the Metropolitan Visit-
ing Society, had had consultations, and had found
that the Mansion-house Committee had 505 orphans
to provide for, and the Metropolitan Visiting So-
ciety 510, making altogether 1,015. He and Mr.
Tilson had gone together through the lists, and they
had struck off all those they supposed not to be pro-
perly chargeable to either fund. He thought that,
considering the whole of the circumstances, each
fund might maintain an independent course of ac-
tion—a plan all the more advisable, he thought,
considering the mixed character of each committee.
Even then there would remain the very important
qUestion of orphans, which each committee must
necessarily take up. During that day 19 cases had
come under his own consideration in connexion
with the Mansion-house Committee, and these
could not, therefore, be included in such a final
settlement which he intended to suggest that day.
Ile presumed that, independent of the 1,015 orphans
he had mentioned, there might be 60 or 80 more in
connexion with each society, and the lists of these
names being sent by one committee to the other
might be dealt with hereafter. If they did not now
deal with the lists which had already been prepared
he feared they would never come to an end of their
work.

Mr. TILSON said that further delay would also in-
terfere with the due administration of the two funds.
Sir M. WELLS Said it was his intention to ask the
Mansion-house Committee to fix a final day on
which the returns should be made up, making due
provision for the cases that had come in during the
last week or ten days. Then, with regard to the
application of money, he thought it would be better
for each society to spend the £5,000 it had in hand,
and on this point it would be unnecessary for either
committee to go into details. At present the Man-
sion-house Committee had in hand about £lO for
each orphan.
Lord EBVEY Said that after the distribution of

and looking uncommonly well. Sidawind is also at exer-

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETS, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished from the originals 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 tne extraction of roots, or any pain-
fill operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.
Our Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire horses continuo to
do first-rate, more particularly Lothario, who, this morn-
ing, galloped two miles very fast, and Breeze went two
and a quarter, the pair pulling up fresh and sound. In
fact the mare is improving wonderfully; and if she can
only stand the necessary severe preparation, which we fear
she will not, Breeze must be troublesome for the long dis-
tance handicap at our next meeting. Lothario, however,
has the Baron's especial confidence. Broomielaw bolted
at exercise this morning, and, showing a deal of temper,
was taken in early. Emigrant galloped a mile and a
half, but cannot be got ready in time for the Cesare-
witch. Jollity went two miles and a half at a
real good pace, and though a plainish animal is a most
useful one. Nu has got as thin as a rail, but she went a
rattling two miles this morning, and Medina galloped about
a mile and three-quarters. Eakring has been eased again ;
his stable companion, Sealskin, did a mile and a half gallop
nicely. Knight of the Garter and Hippie were walking
and trotting; but Julius, Bowbastes, The Rake, The Her-
mit, and several other leading two-yr-olds took mile gal-
lops. Plunder, Vespasise, Plutus, Problem, Delium, Water

recent proclamation of the President of the United
States, wherein the blockade of the Mexican ports
by order of the Imperial Government is not recog-
nised, had created great joy amongst the enemies
of the empire. Great complications are expected
from the steps taken by the neighbouring
Republic, and the dissolution of the Imperial system
is looked upon as inevitable. On the other hand,
the Liberal Generals, wherever any success had been
obtained, were already imitating the traditional
system in the American Republics or quarrelling
about the supreme command.

LITERATURE.

Gilbert Rugge. By the author of " A First Friend-
ship." Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett.
This is a very clever novel. The plot is very
skilfully contrived, and very carefully worked out,
and it contains some genuine touches of feeling.
The " situation" of Gilbert Rugge and the prin-
cipal character who makes and mars his fortunes is
somewhat akin to that of Pip and his unknown
benefactor. We do not wish to spoil the interest
of a really interesting story by explaining the re-
lationship existing between the hero and the indi-
vidual above alluded to. The scene at the dinner
at Richmond wherein the momentous secret is re-
vealed to the unsuspecting hero is very dramatic
and almost painful. The character of the
Sergeant, placed as he is in a false position through-
out, is very naturally and vividly portrayed.
The sensitive shrinking of his affectionate heart,
smarting under humiliation, is described without
any tinge of exaggeration. The revelations of the
old copy-book, which are among the best passages
in the three volumes, are full of a simple pathos
that brings tears to the reader's eyes. Gilbert
Rugge is no all perfect hero ; but throughout his
very chequered career he maintains a dauntless
spirit, and severely indeed does he suffer from the
unfortunate errors of his birth and bringing up, and
heavy is the visitation that falls upon him in the
hour of his happiness and prosperity. The three
heroines, the gentle, loveable, Gabrielle Hurst, the
devoted but high-spirited Mary Sherlock, and
the fascinating, ambitious Edith Harlixstowe, are
very charmingly described. The worldly wisdom of
the fair Edith is only what the reader (and the
hero too) might have expected. More surprising
is tie brothely devotion of Jack Harlixstowe
to his friend in the hour of his misfortunes.
Mr. Hurst, the grandfather of Gilbert and of Gab-
rielle, is a stern old man, and heavily does the
punishment of his sins fall upon those most dear to
him. Here is his sentence passed on John Brod-
dick, the poacher, or, as he is called in this chapter,
London, England, 1866-03-26

PEEBLES.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Peebles on
Saturday ; the Lord Provost of Edinburgh (Mr.
W. Chambers) presided.
The report of the directors congratulated the
shareholders on the continued prosperity of the com-
pany. The moiety of the revenue belonging to the
company for the half-year amounted to £3,855.
The traffic returns exhibited an increase of £221 as
compared with the corresponding period of the
preceding year. After making provision for rates,
taxes, there remained a balance available for
dividend of £3,268, eut of which the directors re-
commended the payment of the usual dividend of 5
per cent. per annum on the preference shares of the
company, and a dividend at the rate of 6i per cent.
per annum on the ordinary shares, payable on the
3d of April. After providing for those dividends,
and £223, the share of the surplus payable to the
North British Company in terms of the lease, a
balance of £95 remained to the credit of the Peebles
company.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he had always looked forward to the
eminent success of this economically constructed,
cheaply worked, and carefully looked after line. On
the opening of the tourist line between Galashiels
and Peebles a still larger traffic might be expected.
Mr. AINSLIE seconded the motion, which was
unanimously carried, and a vote of thanks was given
to the chairman.

MUSIC.

The Concert given by Mr. Leslie at St. James's Hall on
Thursday evening was one of rather unusual interest.
Gounod's "By Babylon's Wave" was the first piece in the pro
gramme. This was followed by the most noticeable feature
in the concert, Beethoven's Mass in C, the performance of
which, a small but complete and efficient orchestra having
been secured, was, generally speaking, of a most excellent
character. The solo parts were sung by Madame Lemmens-
Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr. W. H. Cum-
mings, and Mr. J. G. Patey, the combined effect of whose
voices were well displayed in the charming " Benedictus "
quartet. It is much to be deplored that opportunities of
more frequently having a good performance of this Mass.
and other ecclesiastical music of as high a standard, cannot
be oftener had. How many a performance of that hackneyed
apology for sacred music, commonly known as " Mozart's
Twelfth," could well be sacrificed to such a purpose !_

The second part of the concert contained a selection from
Mr. Leslie's " Immanuel," Gounod's "Bethlehem," two un-
accompanied eight-voice anthems by Mendelssohn, both
fine compositions and admirably rendered by tho choir, and
the glorious " Pignus future" of Mozart, justly styled the
" Queen of Fugues," which concluded the concert. I:
consequence, however, of the greater Pc'rti"ofaudience, with that exhibition of bad taste which is the
audience,it
un-
fortunately so fashionable, not apparently
icon considtheirerinseatsg
worthy of their condescension to remain
nfsusoiiol n t
h caused a
iunsiepd r bye
s
during the last piece of a concert, the co
the general moving was such as to entirely
spoil
sion which Mozart's grandest specimen of choral writing
would otherwise have left.
We perceive that in his next concert Mr. Leslie returns
to what is peculiarly his own field, and in which his chief
laurels have been won— the English Glee and Madrigal
School. Without disparagement to this, however
could he not favour us with Gounod's " Daughters o
Jerusalem," or "Seven Words," both unaccompanied, and
therefore well suited for the choir.
Messrs. Lambton, Cock, and Co., continuo their two
excellent series of " Songs" and " Chamber Trios" with
unabated vigour. Among the latest additions to the for-
mer is Mr. I'. Westlake's ballad, 0 Summer Night," a
tasteful and flowing melody, and not the less attractive
in our eyes from its unsensational character. At it lies
within the compass of most sopranos and tenors it will bep
welcomed in many a:ftunily circle. Among .the " Trios'
we are glad to see two by our well-known and genuinely
English poet writer, Mr. G. A.Macfarren, "See the Jocund
Spring" and "Good Night ;" both Ist and 2d soprano and
contralto. They are worthy of the series in which they
appear, which we Divan as high praise.

THE WINGFIELD SCULLS.

At a meeting of former competitors for the amateur
championship, hold at Mr. H. H. Playford's, at Putney, on
Thursday evening last, Mr. E. D. Brickwood was appointed
secretary, with full powers to make arrangements con-
nected with the race. It was also resolved that in consi-
deration of the accumulation of entrance fees, which form
the Champion Fund, and now amount to upwards of £3O,
a new box should be purchased for holding the silver
sculls, and the plates on Ns hich the names of the winners
are inscribed, the old one being ill-suited and inadequate
for the purpose. A rote of thanks was also passed to Mr.
Frank Playford for his management of the championship
since 1861, and for the success which has attended his
efforts to form a Champion Fund. Tho race will this
year be rowed on the first convenient tide after Henley.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a falling off in the supply of foreign stock on
sale here to• day, compared with Monday last, but its
quality was tolerably good.
The show of home breeds was confined to 50 beasts from
Norfolk. The arrivals from Scotland were 232—viz., 231
from Aberdeen and 61 from Dundee; and from Ireland,
150 head. Th• demand for beasts was somewhat firmer
than on this day se'nnight ; nevertheless, sales progressed
slowly at that day's currency. The best Scots and crosses
sold at ss. to ss. 2d. psr Sibs., and a fair clearance was
effected.

With sheep we were fairly supplied. Their quality, as
a whole, however, was only middling. There was an im-
proved inquiry for all breeds, and the quotations advanced
fully 2d. per 81bs. The general top figure for Downs and
half-breds was 6s. Bd. ; but a few very superior sheep rea-
lised 7e. per 8 lbs. Downs, out of the wool, sold readily at
ss. 4d. per 8 lbs.
During the gales of last week 700 foreign sheep were
thrown overboard from the various steamers.

The few lambs on offer produced very high prices —viz.,
rom 7s. Bd. to Os. per 8 lbs.

Calves, the supply of which was wholly composed of
foreign, moved off slowly at last week's quotations. The
top figure was ss. 6d. per lbs.
The sales for pigs was inactive, yet prices were sup-
ported. They ranged from 4s. to ss. per 8 lbs.
