TDB PEOPLE'S PENNY LIBRARY.

Among the wonders of cheap literature nowadays
—we must certainly class conspicuously this really
remarkable series of publications. Messrs. Ireland
and Company, of London and Manchester, may by
right of this one serial of theirs—The People's
Penny Library, now issuing from the press perio-
dically—take rank amongst the most popular pub-
lishers of our day, of this age of popular publishers,
among the Knights, and Cassel's, and Chambers,
and Routledges. As an illustration of the charac-
ter of the literature thus supplied to the masses in
the shape of this Penny Library, it will be enough
to particularise one set or series upon its ample
catalogue--..namely, the " Plays of Shakspere." A
purchaser of any single number has but to say,
virtually, " A Penny for your thoughts !" and
lo ! for that penny, he has vouchsafed to him the
whole of one of these great plays by the world's
master poet and dramatist. There is lying by our
elbow, while we write, one of these plays of Shak-
spere complete—the produce of the outlay of one
single penny—the whole being clearly and even
beautifully printed, upon excellent paper, with
an ample margin, and, in fact, proving quite
worthy to be bound up with the rest of the
series when finished, for after preservation. Edu-
cate the lower classes in our great towns by means
of the ragged schools, or otherwise, and they will
soon know how to make their choice between the
privilege of an entrance to a penny gaff and the pur-
chase of some such penny play of SLakspere's.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

"Curtis on Manhood.--This is a trul valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
t3d 111 Arch, 1856.

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1&56.

Dr. CURTIS may be consulted as usual, either by letter or
personally, at his residence, as above. The efficacy and
harmless nature of the remedies employed by him having
been demon►trated by the most complete success during a
practice extendint over a period of twenty-five years, nervous
sufferers can rely that the utmost skill and experience will be
made available in the treatment of their cases.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mine prem.,
and the short exchange on London is
o 5 376 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English- Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 427 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is quoted at very wide ranges ; for
first-class
bills it may be called iO4i to 1056 per cent. Although this
shows the exchange to be against England, the high rate of
interest in both countries, and the loss of time before the
gold is received back from the American Mints, render it
doubtful if any profit can be made at the present rates by
sending gold to the United States.
London, England, 1861-02-27

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Mr. BUXTON aoked the Secretary of State fur Foreign
Affair.; whether he was aware that the slave trade papers
for each year only contain those up to March in the year
preceding, and whether in future all the docunicitts that
hail come to hand. up to the date of publication might not
be included'

Lord J. RUSSELL said that these papers were pre-
sented at a late cried of the session, but on the present
occasion they would (as we understood the noble lord, who
was almost inaudible) be presented in a fortnight.
APPOINTMENTS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr. HENNESSY asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether the Government were taking any steps to carry
out the recommendations of the select committee of last
session on the mode of nominating and examining candi-
dates for junior appointments in the Civil Service ?
Lotd FALmtRsToN said he believed the recommen-
dation of the commission was that there should be a com-
petitive examination for the appointments in question.
No steps, however, had yet been taken in reference to this
subject, but he would communicate with the civil service
commission on the matter.

CONVICTS—DISTURBANCES AT CHATHAM,
Mr. CHILDERS moved an address for returns of the
number of convicts (out of the 8.50 implicated in the recent
disturbances at Chatham) who were removed direct from
the Hulks to Chatham Prison, with the dates of removal,
And the initialo, crime, sentence, and date of conviction of
each of the 850 convicts so implicated ; the general prison
character, and class of, and the amount of gratuity credited
to each to the Ist day of February, 1861; distinguishing
also whether he was concerned in the I'urtland mutiny,—

CONDIMENTAL FOOD A PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE.--
At the meeting of the Highland Agricultural Society of
S,;otland. held at Edinburgh on the 16th of January, Mr.
Poyser, of the firm of Copo and Eoyser, -veterinary surgeons,
of IN shbourne, Derbyshire, was awarded the gold medal of
the association for the best essay on the disease in cattle
known as Oma Albni;tenuria, in which essay he advocated
the use of coudimental food as a sure preventive of that
disease, and other diseases. It is a curious specimen of the
progress of a genuine invention, that in 18.59 this very
society, which now awards the prize to an essay advocating
the use of Thorley's Coudimental Food as a preventive of
disease, was induced to prohibit the exhibition of Thorley's
Food at its annual show in 1859. Mr. Thorley may console
himself with the fate of nearly all discoverers of important
inventions—that of being abused as charlatans, persecuted
;is imposters, or in the old days, lurnt as sorcerers. We
~ope ere long to lay before our readers the valuable essay

BANKRUPTCY- AND INSOLVENCY AND MIXED
MARRIAGES, &c. (IRELAND).

In reply to Mr. SCULLY,

Mr. CARDWELL said' that by an act which had been
passed some years previously the Bankruptcy and Insol-
vency Courts were consolidated in Ireland. When the
alterations in the present Bankruptcy Bill before the
house had received the sanction of Parliament, he
would converse with his colleagues as to the desira-
bility of extending the provisions of that bill to Ire-
land. With xespect to the other question his attention had
been directed to the cases alluded to, and the subject of
mixed marriages in Ireland. He was no advocate
for placing_ Roman Catholic priests under any
disabilities in regard to the celebration of mar-
.riages, but it should be remembered that in 1844
there was an act passed on. this subject, but the Roman
Catholic priests, at their own desire, were exempted from
its provisions. In the bill which he proposed to introduce
it was not his intention to make any alteration in the law
relating to marriage.
THE ARMSTRONG GUNS.
Major GAVIN asked the Under Secretary of State for
War, to place on the table of the house a copy of the
repott raade by the officer commanding the Artillery, as to
the, efficiency of the Armstrong guns, in the recent opera-
tions in China.

Mr. BARING, said the report in question was very satis-
factory, but as it referred merely to details it was not con-
sidered advisable-. to make it a Parliamentary document.
He took that opportunity of stating that the report of the
Board of Ordnance was very much in favour of the effi-
ciency of thee suer.

BRISTOL-FEB. 2G.

At our market to-day there was a moderate attendance,
but very little business was done in wheat, at last Tuesday's
rates. Oats about Gd dearer. Barley difficult of sale.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER LYNE-FEB. 25.

At this corn market there was a tolerable supply of
wheat. The trade was limited, and prices were rather
easier than of late—white making 60s to 765, red 56s
to 68s. The demand for barley was limited, but at no
reduction in value. Oats were in fair supply, with a
slow sale, from 24s to 32s per 21 stone. Beans steady,
fiom 40s to 508 per qr.

THE NEW AUSTRIAN CONSTITUTION.
VIENNA, FEB. 26.

The representation of the Empire will retain the
name of Reichsrath. The Reichsrath will consist
of two Chambers.

The Upper House will be composed of hereditary
members, and of other persons nominated for life.
The Lower House will consist of 343 members,
who will be elected by provincial Diets.
The Reichsrath will have the right of legislation
and of initiative.

Its sittings will be public.
A bill becomes law when it has passed both
Houses and has been sanctioned by the Emperor.
The Reichsrath is to fix the amount of the budget,
to legislate in all matters of taxation, to manage
public loans and the national debt, to audit the
State Balance sheet, and superintend the affairs of
the Bank.

The restoration of the former Constitutions of
Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia, and Transylvania
within the limits of the diploma of the 20th of
October, 1860, is decreed.
For the other provinces liberal statutes, with re-
presentation of the interests of the people, will be
given.

To towns the representation will be at the rate
of five per cent. of the population. In rural dis-
tricts it will be below five per cent.
The Provincial Diets are to legislate for their
respective provinces, to have autonomy, the right
of initiative, and publicity.
The Provincial Diets are to meet on the 6th, and
the Reichsrath on the 29th of April.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

BOURSE, Feb. 26.—The market continued firm,
but with a very limited amount of business doing.
Previous to the opening of the Parquet a circular
was sent to the agents-de-change, stating that the
rate of discount in London had been increased to 10
per cent., but the falsity of this manceuvre was
soon detected, and an inquiry ordered to find out
the authors of it. Threes, for the Account, are
now at 68f 45c. Railways are also firm.

THAMES.

AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG TRIBE. -- Henry Windsor,
a boy aged 13, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged
with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mr. Thomas
Isaac Ball, "mission schoolmaster," of No. 44, Wallclose-
square.

It appeared that the prisoner entered himself as a pupil
at the school on Thursday week last. On the following
afternoon, Mr. Ball, left his watch on the mantel shelf in
the back school room. Several boys stopped in the school
to eat their dinners, and among them was the prisoner, who
took advantage of the schoolmaster's absence to run away
with the watch. The prisoner was apprehended last night,
and he then made a confession that he had stolen the
watch and given it to another boy. •

The prisoner—Yes, we got Bs. for it.
Inspector Dendy of the H division, said the watch was
sold to a woman. He knew where it was.

The father of the prisoner, a drover, said his son was a
most incorrigible thief. He had done all he could to re-
claim him; but all his efforts were fruitless.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that he believed the
prisoner had been in a Reformatory and escaped, and that
he was sure he had been in custody four times, for as many
felonies,

The prisoner's father said he wished his son to go to
sea.

Mr. Yardley—Honest boys are wanted for the sea
service. It is probable I may send him to the Reforma-
tory School Ship, Cornwall. He is at present remanded
until Monday.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.--The an-
nouncement that Astley's Amphitheatre would be submitted
for public sale, at the auction mart, this day drew a crowded
attendance of professionals. The auctioneer announced that
the theatre was erected in 1841 by Mr. Batty at a
cost of £30,000. The property was held at a ground rein
of £5OO, and in ten years Mr. Batty had realised no less
than £60,000. The first bid was £lO,OOO, which increased
slowly t o £15,900. Mr. Robins announced the reserved price
was 17,000 and no person present being willing to advance
50 guineas over that sum, the property was bought in by
Mr. Batty.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSS:MTH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex -
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
noes has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

emancipation of the Press of France—so did it even-
tually fall out in respect to those other promises,

promises equally specious, equally ostentatious,
articulated by the inscrutable Government of the
EMPEROR, with all his MAJESTY'S old oracular
ambiguity, in regard to the raising once more of a
Free Tribune in each of the two Chambers of the

Imperial Parliament. Scarcely was the Legislature
assembled when these radiant hopes were dashed to
the ground by the very man who had called them
into existence. NAPOLEON told his Senators and
Deputies, as plainly as words could tell them any-
thing, that—as had been so very recently
intimated—they would be allowed the privi-
lege actually of discussing the Imperial policy
with all freedom, but that even their strongest
condemnation of it any time would not necessitate
the change of that policy in any one particular,
would not even necessitate the change of the Ad-
ministration ! It was actually as though the
despotic ruler of France, at the very moment while
he was affecting to concede constitutional privileges
, to his Legislature was reserving to himself the
prerogative of remaining very much like that Fool
of the Proverb, who—

" Convinced against his will,
Is of the same opinion still."
Expostulate with me—the EMPEROR seemed to say

Throne at the beginning of this month of February

Yesterday the Houses of Convocation met at Wes,—
ster for the despatch of business. This was the first time
for considerably more than a century and a half that Con-
vocation has met for the despatch of actual business under
licence from the Crown, and the proceedings therefore
were of more than ordinary interest.

The Archbishop presided in the Upper How, which
assembled in Queen 'Anne's Bounty-office. There were
also present the Bishops of London, Winchester, Oxford,
St. David's, Llandaff, Lincoln, Glocester and Bristol, St.
Asaph, Salisbury, and Norwich.
London, England, 1861-02-27

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented against the abolition of
church rates ; from wine merchants for a uniform rating
on wines inverted into this country ; against the Parochial
Assessment Bill; against the mode of taking the census by
area of the poor rate; from Wexford, complaining of the
present state of the Poor-law in respect to the removal
of paupers, and praying for the amendment of the same;
by Mr. Bright, from certain compositors and working men
in Norwich, and Essex, and Gloucester, praying for Par-
liamentary reform ; and also a petition in favour of a re•
trenchment of the public expenditure, particularly in re-
spect to the naval and army estimates; in favour of the
closing of publichouses on Sunday, &c.

PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that he would call
the attention of the house to the subject of the public ex-
penditures and move that the powers of the Commissioners
of lusr Majesty's Treasury should be limited.

COAL MINES.
Mr. DILLWYN gave notice that he would bring before
the house the subject of e.Cidenis in coal mines, and in-
quire as to the qitalifications of coal mine inspectors.
REFORM.
Mr, T. DIINCOMBE said that on that day fortnight
he would move that, after the publication of the census, a
Reform Bill should be introduced.

On the motion of Col. DUNNE, various returns relat.
ing to this subject were ordered.
London, England, 1861-02-27

decision the house came to, that it was advisable, totally and
unconditionally to abolish church rates, was an unfortunate
one, because such a resolution stood in the way of an. im-
provement of the law. Such was the statement he had
lately made to his constituents and neighbours, and
it had been made a charge against him that he
he had made a speech for party purposes. Such a charge
ho denied. The right hon. gentleman defended the Church
of England against the attacks of Mr. Bright, and declared
the intpntion of his party to maintain its integrity.
Lord J. RUSSELL thought the question was of gieat
importance whether it was possible to place the Church
in the same position with regard to church
rates as the Church enjoyed with regard to
tithes and landed property. If that could be done he bad
no doubt the Church would enjoy a carecr
of uninterrupted usefulness. From a continuance of
the present contest he could not believe that any advantage
would arise, and he believed that the sooner church rates
were abolished the better. (Cheers.)
Mr. WALPOLE expressed his regret that the moderate
measure which had been offered by Mr. Hubbard for secu-
ring a compromise had not been accepted, and thus an end
put to the agitation.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.

" The success of the Company, even in ite earliest years,
teceived the marked attention, and elicited the surprised
comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In-
surance Companies.
"Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums
for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851.
"Life Premiums for 1860 EXCEED the Entire Life Pre-
/alums for the EIGHT YEARS ending 1852.
"Purcha'e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
similar receipt 4 for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
"This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering
that it applies to each of the three branches of the business.'.'

DEAL REGATTA.

The annual regatta at Deal took place on Monday.
Eight boats put in an appearance for the principal prize.
Amongst them were two crews from Hastings, one from
Newhaven, Deal, and Sandgate, and Bain's crew, of
Lambeth, who rowed in the Ariel, of Dover. The race
was fixed for three o'clock, and shortly after that hour a
good start a as effected ; but the race was never in doubt,
as the Londoners took the lead and kept it to the end,
winning by more than 15 lengths. Distance, four miles.
Time, 23 minutes.
The winning crew then proceeded to Dover to row for the
Lord Warden's prize.
There were nine entries for this prize, amongst which
was Bain's crew, of Lambeth, who were so successful last
week at Antwerp.
Only three boats put in an appearance, viz., Hastings, of
Hastings ; the Widgeon, of Newhaven ; and Bain's crew,
who rowed in the Ariel, of Dover. The latter, although
the worst placed, were the favourites at starting. The
Hastings crew took the lead, but the Londoners only
played with them, as when they were near home they drew
away from them, and at last won any way they pleased.
The following are the names of the crew :—Alfred Hop-
kins, Edward Carter, James Chapman, Robert Bain,
stroke, and J. Hill, coxswain. Distance, three miles and a
half; time, 20 minutes.

After the match with T. W. Creut, jun., of Woolwich
and John Young, of the same place, on Monday last, the
friends of Young were so annoyed at him being defeated so
easily that they again challenged the winner by matching
C. Webb against him for £25 a-side, which was at once ac-
cepted. They are to row from Putney to Mortlake, on the
Bth of October. £lO a-side is already staked.
Crout is under the care of R. Bain, of Lambeth.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The negotiation for 150 million dols. concluded on the
15th between the Associated Banks of New York, Boston,
and Philadelphia, and the Secretary of the Treasury, caused
an immediate advance of 1 to 1f per cent. in the present
Treasury paper and Funded Stock of the United States.
The former (says the New York Times) has been sold as
high as 98i per cent. for the two year 6 per cent. issue, as
against 96 to 971 on Thursday, and 96 to 96k on Wednes-
day. The Board prices on the 16th were 98 to 97/, but as
these involved a commission they were kto per cent. be-
low the transactions made at the counters of the domestic
exchange fifins on the street. The funded 6 per cent. Stock
of the Government sold at 89 to 881:per cent, for the Coupon
Bonds, and 88 to 87/ per cent. for the registered Certificates.
The Coupon fives of 1874 rose to 81 per cent. The market
closed firm for Treasury notes, after very heavy private sales
through the day, including a large parcel, sold for the State
of Indiana, received iu reimbursement of the army disburse-
ments of that State. The State and railway share lists were
not so firm as on the previous afternoon. So far as the cash
sales of stocks were concerned, the decline on this sort of influ-
ence was 4to per cent., but on 30 to 60 days options a
difference of fully 1 per cent. was made on the railways, and
2 to 3 per cent. on some of the Southern States stocks, the
latter being extremely scarce for delivery. The Western
railways, as well as New York Central shares, were offered
down on sellers' option, causing the cash price to close com-
paratively weaker.
The cotton-market was steady at 18c. to 181 c. for mid-
dling upland, with sales of 1,000 bales. The flour trade
was less active, as the supplies were inadequate, and
holders claimed an advance of sc, to 10c. per barrel. Wheat
and corn were freely purchased, and were higher in price.
Pork, beef, and lard were quiet; mess pork, 15 dols.;
prime,
10 dols to 10 dols. 25c. Resin and spirits of tur-
pentine again improved, with liberal sales; also of tar,
pitch, and whisky at decidedly firmer rates. The sales of
sugars and tobacco were restricted. The transactions in box
herring were large. Molasses was in beater demand. Coffee
was inactive. Rice was very firm, but in less request.
An active trade was reported in breadatuffs freights, rates
on which closed higher.
London, England, 1861-08-29

THE BANQUET.

The banquet was held in the Maison Dieu, which
has been recently restored and decorated. The
building, which was formerly a religious house of
the order of the Templars, is now used as a Town-
hall. It is the very edifice in which, according to
local tradition, the recreant King John delivered his
kingdom to the Papal Legate Pandalf, and under-
took to do homage for it as a vassal of the Pope,
paying 1,000 marks as annual tribute. The company
arrived about 6 o'clock, and the Lord Warden, who
had been escorted to the entrance by an enthusi-
astic multitude all the way from the lower end of
the town, was again received with vehement and
continued cheers. When the guests had all assem-
bled, many of them appearing in full costume, or in
brilliant military uniforms, the spectacle presented
was one of the most animated and dazzling descrip-
tion.

The hall is embellished with two painted windows.,
one erected (out of funds left for that purpose by Mr.
Bass, the late town clerk of Dover), to the memory
of Captain Allen, a native, and one of the original
adventurers in the Burra Burra, the richest cop-
per mine in the world. The subject of this win-
dow is the embarkation of Henry VIII. from
Dover for the Field of the Cloth of Gold. The
other window is a memorial of Mr. Thompson, the
late coroner for Dover, and a lieutenant in the Ar-
tillery Volunteers, who lost his life in the fatal
gun explosion -there about a year since. The sub-
jectis the landing of Charles 11. at Dover in 1660."
Both windows, which are much admired for their
artistic excellence, are the work of Mr. W. Wailes,
of Newcastle-on-Tyne, from designs by Mr. Ed-
ward Poynter. On the north wall of the hall
hangs a full-length portrait of the Duke of Wel-
lington, by Lilley, which appropriately reminds
the spectators of the greatest of the long line of
Lord Wardens of whom the barons of the Cinque
Ports are justly proud. On the walls, between
the windows and the pictures, are grouped speci-
mens (from the Tower) of the arms and equip-
ments of arquebusiers and curassiers, chiefly of the
period of the 16th century. At the east end, above
an equestrian statue of George IV. and groups of
armour, are three shields, emblazoned in proper
heraldic colours. The central shield is composed
of demi-lions and ships, the arms of the Cinque
Ports, and those on the right and left the armorial
insignia of Dover, the devices from its common
seal, one representing St. Martin (the patron saint
of the town) dividing his cloak, and the other the
ancient gallery of the Ports. All round the hall,
