5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
Sir,—Some months back I had au attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OP
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice.
You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,

NAVAL AND MILITARY lIVTELLIGENCE.

His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Com-
manding-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on
Wednesday next, the 12th inst.
Yesterday the whole of the infantry regiments at
present stationed at Aldershot were exercised in
various field movements by Lieut.-Gen. the Hon.
Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding the
division. The troops formed up on the Queen's
Parade, North Camp, in line of contiguous columns.
The Lieut.-General arrived upon the ground shortly
after the formation was complete, and was received
with the usual salute, after which the troops marched
past in grand divisions as follows :—Pioneers, bands
and drums of the 2d Brigade ; Staff and Brigadier-
Gen. Carey, C. 8., Major Trench and 40th Regi-
ment, Col. Harrison and 80th Regiment, Col.
Synge and 43d Light Infantry. Pioneers, bands
and drums of the 3d Brigade ; Staff and Brigadier
Peyton, 98th Regiment; Major Madden and 51st
Light Infantry, Capt. Beamish and 98th Regiment,
Major Deacon and 54th Regiment. They then
countermarched and went past from the reverse
flank in mass of columns, and again from the ori-
ginal flank in lines of contiguous columns by bri-
gades. After a few other movements the troops,
who were in marching order, returned to quarters
about half-past 12 o'clock. The deployments and
formations were executed with great accuracy.
Capt. F. A. Marindin, late the Adjutant at the
Royal Engineer Establishment, Chatham, has been
appointed to the Royal Engineer Department at
Devonport, and is succeeded in the Adjutancy at
head-quarters by Capt. Bruce Brine, who is ordered
to join at Chatham from the Curragh.
The general court-martial which recently assem-
bled at Chatham garrison, under the presidency of
Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., Royal Engineers, for
the trial of Capt. James Hett Tennant, 45th (Sher-
wood Foresters) Regiment, on the charge of having,
when in command of a detachment at the Isle of
Grain, Chatham, absented himself without leave
from the 6th of October to the 21st of December,
was yesterday dissolved, and Capt. Tennant ordered
to resume garrison duty this morning.
An Admiralty order was yesterday received at
Chatham dockyard, postponing the launch of the
ronc!ad frigate Hercules, 14, 5,226 tons, 1,200
horse-power, from Saturday until Monday after-
noon next, in consequence of the members of the
Admiralty being unable to attend on the former
day.
The first selected test armour-plate for the tur-
retted ironclad Cerberus, building for the colony of
Victoria under the superintendence of the Admi-
ralty, at Jarrow, was passed through its trial yes-
terday at Portsmouth most successfully, on board
the target-ship Thunderer, under the superinten-
dence of Capt. A. W. Hood, C. 8., of her Majesty's
ship Excellent. The plate was manufactured by
Messrs. Calumet' and Co. (limited), of the Cyclops
Steel and Iron Works, Sheffield. It was 14ft. in
Ipngth, 3ft. 9in. in breadth, and Bin. in thickness.
Eighteen ,test shots in all were fired 'at it in two
clusters, nine shots being planted in one cluster with
edges of indents overlapping at each end. The plate
proved of very superior quality in metal and in
manufacture.

WONDERFUL iMPS SPORT WITH 71IE
BRAMIIAM MOOR.

Lately the Bramhatn Moor Foxhounds met at
the Boot and Shoe Inn, Leeds and Selby-road.
Punctually at half-past ten the popular Master,
accompanied by his two. daughters, and youngest
son, arrived. The young ladies are passionately
fond of the sport, and often grace the field with
their presence. The Master gave the order " Mr.
Pavier's plantations"---the desired one was absent.
Thence to Ledsham Gorse, again blank. A field
from the gorse there is an old quarry, a very fa-
vourite resort. No sooner were the hounds
yoicked-in than the welcome note was given
Away in the direction for Ledsham Park, headed
to the left for Ledsham House, then straight up
hill, crossed the Fairburne-road towards Fryston,
then to Buttress Hill, down the road for
Burton Salmon ; killed him in a quarry against
Station ; a quick 35 minutes. Back again to the
Boot and Shoe plantation ; blank. Crossedj the
road into T. Bland, Esq.'s woods, generally a sure
find ; not at home in the first. Over the railway ;
here all correct, a view from the veteran Ned John-
son proclaimed the welcome fact. Hounds settled
to work in a moment ; drove him very fast through
the woods into the open near Newthorp Lime-kilns,
raced into him after 25 minutes with a clip. Turpin
threw No. 2 to the eager pack, the noble Master
presenting the brush to one of his lovely daughters.
They then retired from the field. What next? was
the question ; a Badsworth man made the remark
46 They will not try again after two kills and so
much work." The Master laughed, gave Turpin
the order " Daniel Hartley's," a wood situate
on the Earl of Ashtown's property. Although
an absentee strict orders are given for the preserva-
tion of foxes, and abundance of the right material
is always found, both upon the earl's and Colonel
Gascoigne's Parlington estate. A fox was viewed
going into Daniel ; Turpin quickly clapped the
ladies on the line. On, on, with a clink, best pace,
lots of music; leaving Lotherton Hall to the right,
past Hicklam House to the left, for Hook Moor ; a
long check took place ; the Earl of Harewood and
son, C. Sykes, M.P., the Leeds division, and many
of the field left. The noble earl not having the
slightest idea that had he only waited half an hour
there was a run in embryo that would have landed
him ten miles nearer his own domain. Turpin cast
across the moor, hit him off ; slow hunting to Mr.
Bland's plantation ; matters warmed up in the
plantation, Johnson of the eagle eye views him
stealing away for Pain Hall ; on with a rattle to-
wards Micklefield station; turned to the right below
Micklefield Village, forward for Parlington Park,
across the park a burster, a momentary check.
Hark to Woodbine ! good bitch ; forward on leav-
ing Parlington Old Wood to the right, down to
the brook, creased to the left of Throstle Nest
Farm ; a straight goer now before us, one of the
right sort, crosses the middle of the fields ; no faint
heart, been to see his lady love, no doubt. On, on,
leaving Barnboro' Village to the left, away to the
right, over the Scholes and Barwick-road, skirting
the hamlet of Scholes on the left, clinking on,
leaving Marich Hall to the right ; a slight
check in the fallows ; see how the ladies work ;
look how Beeswing and the lot quest round ; well
done Symphony, one to you! She carries the line
down the fence, the body quickly rushing to cry.
" Forward, forward!" over the Leeds and Tadeas-
osier bed ; here our gallant
ter-road to Grimes Dyke
friend lingered a while meditating en the happy
moments past ; meditation in this instance was at-
tended by an increase of pace. On from the osier
beds three fields in the direction of Shadwell. Such
fields ! Fetlock deep every stroke. Held to the
right for Mr. Skelton's plantation, over the open
for Ettoft's, across Leeds and Thorner-road,
straight for the Leeds and Scarcroft-road ; a slight
check in the road, bit him off to the right along the
plantation, under the hill, to the left through Mr.
Tennant's plantation, over the Leeds and Scar-
croft-road into the wood, on to the extreme end
of the wood as if for Wyke, to the right through
the gorse, over the road again near the bar in the
direction for Bratnhatn, back again into the cover,
such a crash ! Now talk about condition. Our
old friend had here two or three relations in reserve
ready to take up the running for him, and by this
artful dodge saved his life. Past five o'clock, al-
though from the point where No. 1 was killed in the
morning it must be nearly 20 miles. hounds still
showed a wonderful game endurance and superb
condition, reflecting the greatest credit on the hunts-
man's skill. Shades of evening closed the scene.
We had three or four fresh foxes on foot, hounds

were stopped, and this punishing run for hounds
and horses was over. The Mater was
up at the finish, his horse having cast
a shoe ; he came some ten miles straight ;
hounds all there. Time, lh. 48min. At Grimes
Dyke osier bed I took stock of the field. I only saw
the huntsman, T. Fairfax, Esq. ; Baldwin, Esq. ;
Tennant, Esq., and son ; B. Nicholson, and Ned
Johnson. L)oked again at Leeds and Thorner-
road, only three—huntsman, Baldwin, and B.
Nicholson. At, the finish the Master, Mr. Oliver,
Mr. Tennant and son, Baldwin, Nicholson, Wick-
ham, Mr. Gregsm and son, and both whips. Many
thanks to Mr. Tennant for his liberal hospitality,
which was never more required both for horses and
men.—Correspondent of Bell's Life. •

AQUATICS.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

The crews at present selected are progressing favour-
ably, although some changes may naturally be expected.
The official challenge, about the giving or accepting of
which there could be no doubt, has been duly forwarded
by Mr. Still, the president of the C.U.8.0 , to Mr. Willan,
the president of Oxford, and as the tide suits well for the
race to take place at midday on Saturday, the 4th April,
that may be looked upon as the time for the consest. The
following are the crews :

6. W. F. M'Michael, Down-
ing.
7. H. T. Naiin, Pembroke
8. W. J. Pinckney, Ist Tri-
nity.

In the Oxford boat the stroke is the same as last year •
Messrs. Carter and Tinne also were in the last victorious
contest, and Mr. F. Willan, who is at present overlooking
his craw from the steerage, will take his place at No. 7.
The crew, formidable as before in size, already gives pro-
mise of being worthy of the University of Oxford, and
that is no trifle.
At Cambridge Mr. Still is handling the yoke lines, and
from that position looking after his men. It will be seen
that Mr. Pinckney is rowing the stroke, all solicitations to
induce the Hon. T. Gordon, who was at No. 4 last year, to
row being at present unavailing ; but although that gentle-
man does not wish to be in the forthcoming contest, it is
hoped that he may yet be induced to take the stroke, for
which he is eminently qualified. Messrs Still (6) and
Anderson (1), in last year's crew, will soon displace two
of the gentlemen in the above list. The crew at present
in the boat are strong and good, and are already at very
bard work.

CHURCH RATES REGULATION BILL.- -Mr. Hub-
bard's Bill, which is again laid before Parliament, has been
printed. What it proposes is that any person who, on one
of the first seven chys of the year, sends written notice to
one of the churchwardens, claiming to be exempt from
being rated to a church-rate, is not to be liable for any rate
levied in that year; but if he is only tenant of the pro-
perty for which he is rateable, the churchwarden is to
send a copy of the claim to the owner, who, unless he
also claims exemption, is then to be rated, and to be en-
titled to attend and vote at the vestry mestiogs. Vestries
for making or applying a church-rate are to be designated
"church vestries," and are to transact no other business;
and no person thus exempted from church-rate is to be
entitled to attend or vote, or to act as churchwarden. The
bill contains a clause providing that for the church of
every parish or district entitled to levy church-rates one
churchwarden shall be nominated by the minister, any
local rule or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.

four days' ordinary steaming to Suez, the telegram which
we publishel last evening, as received by Sir Stafford
Northcote from Sir Robert Napier, dated Koomalie, Jan.
25, was transmitted with praiseworthy despatch. But
the telegram which appeared in yesterday's second edi-
tion of the Times, as sent from its special correspondent
" with the expedition" (probably at Senafs) on the 28th
ult, beats it by three days. If no mistake has been made
In the date, this message deserves to be placed on reco:d as
an extraordinary feat of good steaming and telegraphy.—
Pall-M./ill Gazette.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.—Mr. Cleasby,
Q.C., is named as a candidate for the representation
of this University, on the first vacancy occurring.
MR. TOLLEMACHE, M.P., who has been for some
time at Jersey for the benefit of his health, has been
obliged to proceed further south, and has gone to
Egypt. The honourable gentleman has paired with
Mr. Glyn until after Easter.
THE ITALIAN LEGATION IN LONDON.—It is statea
that the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Minister Plenipoten-
tiary from the Italian to the British Government, has
resigned his office, and that his successor will arrive
in London before Easter. The Marquis d'Azeglio
does not quit England, but continues to reside in
London.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Yesterday, at the
Warrington Borough Court. George Parry, lately the
goods manager for the Great Western Railway Com-
pany, at the Bank Quay Station, Warrington, was
charged, on remand, with embezzlingp the sum of
£l9 lOs 3d. Mr. George Proctor, the district
manager of the Great Company,
stated that in September last he had his attention
drawn to the management of affairs by the prisoner at
Bank Quay ; and he sent a clerk there to attend to
the business, having summarily dismissed the prisoner.
The clerk reported that there a larger outstanding
debt than Parry had statedwasSubsequently Parry
told witness he had " done wrong." He (witness)
asked him how much he was behind' and the prisoner
replied, about £250. The prisoner was committed
p
to Kirkdale sessions, bail etngaccepted to the
amount of £4OO for his re-appearance.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION. —The Macclesfield Cham-
ber of Commerce has resolved to forward the follow.
ing remarks to the Committee of the Privy Council :
"That primary education should be compulsory
and technical to an elementary degree ; that it
should in all cases be preparatory to a secondary
or advanced education in science, art, and lan-
guages, as applicable to trade, manufacture, and
commerce ; be under State control and inspection,
and be supplemented by local rates where neces-
sary. That secondary education should be given
in all middle-class schools, as well as primary
schools, and, as regards science and art, should
be given in colleges and universities, and placed on
an equal footing with classics and mathematics as to
rewards, honours, emoluments, &c. It should be
given in central technical schools for instruction in
science, art, commerce, agriculture, &c., and be main-
tained, controlled, and inspected as in the case of
primary schools. With respect to general edu-
cation, it is recommended that the Govern-
ment management and control should be consoli-
dated by the appointment of a Minister of In-
struction, with a seat in the House of Commons ;
that it should be liberally aided by Govern-
ment grants, loans and allowances, proportioned
to local efforts and educational results ; and that it
should be assisted by existing endowments being
placed in commission. It is not the alleged superior
technical education obtainable on the Continent that
has chiefly caused the absorption of the English silk
trade by foreign manufacturers. The much cheaper
cost of labour in France, Germany, and Switzerland
gives the manufacturers of those countries an im-
mense and increasing advantage. The combinations,
or trade unions, in this country have not only
affected wages or the price of labour, and in many
cases have thereby driven capital, trade and manu-
factures to foreign countries, but have also
interfered disastrously in crushing the talent
and ability of the artisan, and causing in many
instances an unnatural and fatal mediocrity in design
and execution. No amount of technical education
can counteract this baneful influence until the manu-
facturer with his capital can be permitted to pay for
labour according to its real value, which he is now
prevented from doing by the action of trade unions.
The restoration of the apprenticeship system, which
enabled the artisan to be regularly and completely
educated in his art by the experienced workman with
whom he was daily engaged, is a necessity to be kept
constantly in view. But, beyond all these facts, there
is yet the great question of foreign tariffs. Unfair
tariffs and difficulties relating to capital and labour
must be borne in mind when alleged continental
excellence in technical education and skill is under
discussion."
Till: REPRESENTATION OF ARGYLESIIIRE.—In con-
!ecinnce of l'ar. Finlav's resignation of the representation
3f Argylesliire, the Marquis of Lorne has announced his
intention of ;,tainling for the vacant seat. His lordship's
confession of political faith comprises the doctrines that
Government should be supported in every legal endeavour
to suppress renianism ; that the Reform Bill should le
accepted as a settlement of the question so far as the
borolfgh franchise is concerned ; that the redistribution
portion of it is confessedly imperfect ; that Scotland is
entitled to increased representation ; and that, generally
speaking, the recommendatious of the Scottish Education
Commission are to be supported.
