THE NEW ACT ON VOLUNTEERS TOLL EXEMP-
-7101,7.—The new Act to exempt the volunteer forces of
Oreat Britain from the payment of tolls has just been
lirinted. This statute, it is hoped, will settle the vexed
rfuestion, and all that remains is to make public the penal-
ties incurred by infringing the Act. It provides that any
toll collector or other person who shall take, demand, or re-
ceive any dues, duties, pontage, or toll, for or in respect of
any volunteer officer or soldier, horse, or other beast, car-
Ilage, waggon, or cart, entitled to exemption under this
'4.ef, shall forfeit and pay for every offence a sum not ex-
leeding £.5. Further the Act declares any person who shall
falsely and fraudulently represent himself to be a volunteer
officer or soldier, with the intent to evade payment of any
dues, duties, pentage, or toll to which he would otherwise
b 0 liable, shall forfeit and pay for every offence a sum nat
exceeding £5. The Act is not to extend to Ireland. It
eanle into operation or. Tuesday, the 6th inst., when it re-
eived the Riyal assent.
TIIE RISE OF THE ROTHSCITILDS. When

the first stages of training for the Jewish priesthood. His

nc,th,er he was placed in a counting-house at Hanover,
ii-uu be soon discovered what he was tit for. He began
111,2)15' as an exchange-broker, and went on to be the
banker of the Landgrave of Hesse, whose private fortune
