GERMAN Y.

The Wiirtemberg Chambers seem disposed to resist the
Prussianising of their country—albeit that process if
carried on much more slowly than in the neighbouring
State of Baden. The balance of public opinion in these
smaller German States varies much according to
circumstances. In Baden, which is situated near
the French frontier, the fear of French aggrandisement
is always uppermost, and the Liberal party, which advo•
cites union with Prussia, is predominant. But in "Mir-
temberg, where the danger from France is much smaller,
the democratic party, which favours the Federal system
as practised in Sw:tzerland, is in the ascendant.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moe-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be bad, and the truss, which can-
cot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

THE GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY AND ITS STAMP.

The Goldsmiths'Company is one of the very few of
the City of London Corporations which has anything
to do with its money beyond feting its members.
While the other companies have in one way or
another lost their " functions," the Goldsmiths still
have to stamp the gold brought by citizens and others
to " the Hall." But " the trade " is by no means
satisfied with the way in which the work is done.
There have for some time been complaints of an
antiquated system of marking, which have now found
vent in the Times. It is alleged that the mark is no
security, that it is so clumsy as to be easily imitated,
and that the machinery is so rude that the goods
are often damaged in the process of stamping.
The company itself admits that frauds are often
practised. Hollow rings after stamping are
filled up with baser metal, chains are manipulated,
and poor metal is often sold as good. "A London
Goldsmith," who appears to be very indignant,
suggests that the whole thing be taken from the
City Company, and put into the hands of a Govern-
ment office with good organisation and machinery.
Ile further proposes that inferior metal should not
be stamped. It would certainly be a good thing if '
we could have some system by which a buyer of
jewellery should see for himself beyond doubt the
value of an article, and not be compelled to trust to
the dealer's honesty.

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, Dec. 14.

To-day being the anniversary of the death of the
lamented Prince Consort, the Queen, accompanied
by the Royal Family, went to the mausoleum at
Frogmore (which is now completed) this morning,
where her Majesty remained for some time.

HIE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.

(THIS DAY.)

Tho sixteenth annual meeting of the shareholders took
place this day at the offices, in Norfolk-street, Strand
Viscount Ranelagh in the chair.

Mr. GRUNEISE;I (the secretary) having read the adver-
tisement convening the meeting, the annual report of the
Executive Committee was read as follows :

In compliance with the certified rules, the Executive
Committee have the pleasing duty of submitting the
general statement to the shareholders of the funds end

THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES.

The Incumbent of the Holy Trinity, Bessborough
Gardens, Westminster, gives some statistics of over-
crowding in that city. It seems that the reverend
gentleman makes it his business to look after the
poor and their habits, and he finds that many of
them require to have the cravings of the body satis-
fied before his visits can be turned to any higher
purpose. In Ponsonby-place, which Mr. Reyner
Cosens slys is one of the most respectable streets,
he finds twenty-eight families in five houses, making
a total of 128 persons. lie could shew more than
this in smaller houses and lower streets. Mr. Cosens
describes his work, and sates that he keeps open at
his own cost, with the assistance of a grant from the
Westminster Spiritual Aid Fund of £2O, a school for
the attendance of some 140 ragged children. The
schools break one's back, he adds, but aro necessary.
The rev. gentleman makes a strong appeal for help
for the sick, the aged, and the poor out of work. The
lower phases of London life are so repulsive that the
sensitive man is sorely tempted to turn his face
away altogether, and to try and forget that the
fair faces of Belgravian streets hide no such foul
dens as we have described. Mr. Cosens knows the
mockery of a sleek priest and his well-dressed wife
preaching the kingdom of heaven to shivering
Lazarus without some substantial help.

OItANGEISIII.

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland have met
at Dublin to consider the present crisis. At the
appointment of a Roman Catholic Chancellor the
members, as might have been expected, were mach
moved, and in some resolutions they find that the
present Government will rule Ireland through the
intervention of the Church of Rome, and will make
any concession Cardinal Cullen may demand. In fact,
the late appointment virtually unites in one the judi-
cial and th e spiritual functions of thePa,pacy. The Lodge
resolves: " That in the event of our beloved monarch

is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

REQUIREMENTS EXTRAORDINARY.

A contemporary thus comments .on an advertisemen
which has appeared in a clerical paper:—" North Devon
is one of the most delightful portions of the United King-
dom : the scenery is charming, the soil fertile, the climate
mild, and the people have a frank and genial manner,
than which nothing can be more pleasing. Still, we
do not know a spot on the earth's surface which
can pretend to be so self-sufficing as that its people
need no intercourse with the rest of mankind.
There is one gentleman, however, there, a clergy-
man, who is of that opinion, judging from the following
advertisement in the Ecclesiastical Gazette:—` Wanted, in
the spring, a curate in full orders, of moderate views, for
a village near Barnstaple, North Devon. As the popula-
tion is considerable, he will be expected to devote him-
self entirely to the parish, and to any friendships he may
form there ; therefore curates with friends at a distance, to
visit and to be visited by, need not apply. Address,
S.A.P., Post Office, Barnstaple, North Devon.' No doubt
this good clergyman speaks from experience. He has
found the limited society of his village sufficient for all
his own requirements. Still he must remember that he
is the vicar, and that iu the matter of local friendships
the new curate will have to take his leavings, and it is
rather hard to lay down the strict condition —' No
followers allowed.' There may be some curates who would
like to live in a little China, safely guarded from
intercourse with ' outer barbarians,' but most of
the class would like to keep up their old acquaintances.
If the conditions laid down in this advertisement are per-
manent, and any clergyman who takes the curacy is to
abandon his friends, we would suggest that the vicar should
select and rear and train his curates from the youth of the
parish. As `the population is considerable,' there should
not be much difficulty in doing this."
London, England, 1868-12-15

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

On Saturday night a young fellow named Edward
Ueshall attempted to murder his sweetheart in Fox-street,
Brightside, Sheffield. The girl is a Miss Maiy Ann
Barthorpe, a dressmaker, residing with her mother in
Wentworth-street. The courtship commenced on the
grounds of Whiteley Wood Hall, on the occasion of
the great demonstration of miners, and the nuptials
were to be celebrated soon after Christmas. The details
of the tragedy would lead to the conclusion that the
young man is mentally deranged. There had been no
quarrel. On Saturday night the girl met him, at his
request, at Heshall's lodgings. Having washed and
dressed, he walked out with her, and pressed her
twice in the course of their walk to enter the Barrel
public-house, Pye-bank, but she declined. He
went into that house himself to look for his brother,
and returned in a few seconds. Then, whilst they
were walking together towards his lodgings. Heshall
put his arm round her neck, with, as she thought,
the intention of saluting her ; but in the next
instant he drew a razor across her throat, inflict-
ing a wound four inches in length, from which the blood
gushed in a torrent. The young man immediately ran
away, and the poor girl, unable to cry for assistance,
managed to walk to the house of a relative of Heshall.
From thence she was taken to a surgery, where the wound
was stitched; was taken to her home in a cab, and from
there, at her own request—her mother being absent--she
was removed to the Infirmary, and is, we are glad to
say, likely to recover. Heshall, on the death of a previous
sweetheart, who died in childbirth, attempted to destroy
himself by taking a close of vermin killer. Lately Miss
Barthorpe has noticed a peculiarity in his manner. On
one occasion she refused to accompany him to Hillfoot
Bridge, " lest," as she says, "he should throw her into
the water."

CHAMBERS OF AGRICULTURE.

The dull, heavy, ignorant, good-hearted farmer in
likely ere long to become a being of the past. He
will not long derive his inspiration merely from the
"Farmers' Inn." Other debating chambers, better
and more conducive to intellectual development, are
being established rapidly throughout the country.
Chambers of agriculture are replacing the great tap-
roOm. It is stated that in the past twelve months
these landlords' and farmers' institutions have
been nearly trebled, and -at the present -
moment they muster nearly 0,000 members.
And every organisation must have its news-
paper. With the beoinnini, of 1868 a monthly
journal, the Chamber of Aurzeu!ture, was issued, with
the object of chronicling the proceedings of the
various chambers; but interesting matter has so
much accumulated, that a fuller and more frequent
record of proceedings. is demanded. Accordingly,
with 1869 that 3ournal.becomes a weekly newspaper,
(Ind is issued as the accredited organ of the Chambers
of Agriculture. This looks well.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF 'WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN

AGRICULTURE.

The Warwickshire Chamber of Agriculture has
been consulted on the question of the employment of
women and children in agriculture. It came to
the following conclusions:—That no girls be em-
ployed under eleven years of age, except for a short
time in the spring and winter. That employeis
would not be put to any inconvenience if
they employed no boys under ten years of age. That
as a general rule none except wives of labourers were
employed in field-work, but it was necessary to
employ women in the spring in picking stones and
weeding of corn, and in hay and corn harvest, and
in cleaning roots. Their hours of labour are from
eight till five, and their health very good. Boys were
often sent out too young in charge of horses, but the
employers of labour suffered more from it than the boys
themselves. With regard to education, the Chamber
presses the necessity of requiring a certificate of profi-
ciency in addition to that of school attendance.
Night schools are, in thinly populated parishes, diffi-
cult to maintain. Women employed in field labour
are usually the best disciplined and more tidy in their
own homes.

LEGAL CIIANGES.

There are no appointments which exercise the imagi.
nation of
.journalists so much as those belonging to
the law. The appetite comes with eating. It is not
enough that Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli have given
us on an average one appointment a week ; it is not
enough that with the change of Ministry there has
been a change among the political lawyers, from the
Lord Chancellor down to the Judge-Advocate; but
there must be already a fresh arrangement of
posts talked of on the very day that their
distribution is announced. Justice Mellor, says one
legal journal, is very ill, and will have to retire; he
is much better, and will soon sit upon the bench
again, says another. The lay journals prefer to
accept the first statement, and have already settled
the matter after their own minds. Sir R. Collier is
to take Justice Mellor's place on the bench—an un-
likely event, by the way. Sir John Duke Coleridge
is to be Attorney-General ; Mr. Jessel, perhaps,
Solicitor-General. How about " Historicus"

It is again rumoured that Lord Westbury will
accept the Lord Justiceship vacant by the prefer-
ment of Lord llatherley. We must again express
ourincredulity. We find it hard to believe that
Lord Westbury's enormous self-esteem would
submit to take any post in which his judg-
ments would be liable to be overruled by a
lawyer who was a few years ago his junior.
We believe also that Mr. Gladstone would
make a very serious mistake if he offered any post to
the hero of so many scandals. Lord Palmerston did
himself enormous harm by taking Lord Clanricarde
into the Cabinet ; and the placing of Lord Westbury
in a judicial office would go far to do away with the
excellent impression produced by the selection of
so high-minded a man as Lord Hatherley for the
Chancellorship.

THE PREVENTION OF CRIME.

The Daily News, in a well-written r rt'ele, considers
how crime may best be I reventcd. Our contemporary
is a ',great stickler for the liberty of the subject, and
is therefore rather astonished at the proposal which
hns been put forth, that the known thief should be
taken up on suspicion. It is afraid that this will be
putting too much power into the hands of the police
—who alone are supposed to know thieves—and that
they will occasionally use it against the innocent. It
would certainly be liable to gross abuse ; but still, the
innocent might prove that he had wherewith to keep
himself, and that therefore he did not need to
live on crime. And where7er this is shewn
the suspicions become valueless. The Daily
.News _is also opposed to the extension of
the ticket-of-leave system—by which every sentence
would include a period in which the criminal would
be required to report . himself. It is afraid
that we should mark the man for life
and prevent him from getting a livelihood.
But our contemporary would destroy the thieves'
haunts, and punish the pawnbroker who buys his
goods ; would make it difficult almost to impossibility
for a man "to pursue a career of crime." But how
could this be dune ? We have already our law
agninst the receiver of stolen property, and what
avails it

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

DISEASED MEAT.

Mr. John Simpkins, a gentleman farmer owning
nearly three thousand acres of land at Stanton St.
Bernard, Wiltshire, has been summoned at the
Guildhall for sending the carcases of ten sheep to
the London market, for sale as human food, the
same being diseased, unsound, unwholesome, and
unfit for the food of man. The defendant, by
advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. The evidence
shewed that at the request of Mr. Simpkins the meat
had been dressed by a local butcher and sent up to
town, with a note directing the salesman to do the
best he could with it. He was informed that
the carcases would do for cats' or dogs' meat,
The salesman had nothing to do with the cats' meat
business, and so he called in the inspector, who seized
the meat. It was also shewn that the carcases had
been carefully dressed and prepared for the market.
The defendant pleaded that he did it in ignorance.
Mr. Alderman Causton said there was no excuse for
him, and fined him £2OO, or three months in default.
The magistrate added, that if it were not for the great
age of the defendant he would have sent him
to prison without the option of a fine. There will
be some people, wanting in the bump of reverence,
who will ask whether Mr. Simpkins's great posses-
sions had not as much to do with this as his great
age. The £2OO would probably be a trifle to him,
and it may be that lie has profited by this wretched
trade to a considerably greater amount. Two or
three little butchers and farmers have been sent to
prison for like offences. The spectacle of the owner
of 3,000 acres serving a short time might have had
an extremely salutary effect upon his brother knaves.

THE NEW LORD-LIEUTENANT.

It is perhaps worthy of note that among all the
sins which they attribute to Mr. Gladstone the Con-
servative journals do not set down his appointment to
the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland. The Dublin _Erening
Mail declares that " the appointment of Earl Spencer
to the Viceroyalty is, perhaps, the best that it was in
the power of Mr. Gladstone to make. The new Lord-
Lieutenant is young,, rich, little known as a party
man, and as little publicly pledged to particular
political views ; but eminently distinguished as
manly Englishman—an enthusiastic volunteer—a
genuine associate in all popular undertakings. Re
brings with him a countess who is known to sympa-
thise heartily in all his genial and social feelings."
This is very satisfactory. Thus ushered in it will be
his lordship's own fault if he do not win popu-
larity.

TURKEY AND GREECE.

The accounts from Eastzrn Europe do not agree as to
the probability of Greece acceding to the demands of
Turkey. The French journals publish a telegram
through Trieste stating that a portion of the Greek
army has already received .orders to concentrate on
the frontier. It is reported that thirty battalions
of volunteers will be raised. The journals of Athena
are full of bellicose articles, and the populace is so
excited and so much disposed for a war, that it is doubtful
whether the Government can resist the pressure of public
opinion. The LibertJ learns that the Greek Government
has declared that it cannot accept the propositions of the
Porte without endangering public order and even the
throne itself. Other accounts point to the conclusion that
the difficulty will be solved by Greece accepting only a
portion of the ultimatum. The Independance Delge says
the Porte has not sent an ultimatum, but a simple
demand, the rejection of which will be followed only by
the suspension of diplomatic relations, and not necessarily
by a war. The Ottoman Government has given up the
idea of ordering all Greeks to quit Turkish territory.

THAMES.

AN EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—Two well-known
thieves, who gave the names of John Brown and
Thomas Brown, who are not related, were brought
up on remand before Mr. Benson, on a charge of
being concerned with others in breaking and enter-
ing the dwelling-house of Mr. Louis Lavenburg,
pawnbroker and jeweller, of Broad-street, Ratcliff,
and stealing therefrom watches, gold rings, gold
ear-drops, and other property value £3OO. Both
prisoners were committed for trial.

LANDSLIP.—A great landslip occurred on the
22d ult. at Cumberland Mills, near Portland, Maine, on the
north side of the Presumpscot River. The land sunk ex-
tends back from the river nearly half a mile in an oblong
shape, including at least 80 acres. It fell from 30ft to 50ft,
and the river was dammed up for above a furlong, over-
flowing the adjacent ground, and making for itself a new
channel. The land is light sandy loam upon blue clay,
which last had probably been softened by the long-con-
tinued wet weather until it would net sustain the weight
upon it. Large quantities of fish were left high and dry
upon the ground. The rumbling noise and jarring of the
earth made the people fear at first that there was au earth-
quake. The sinking appears to have begun some distance
from the river, the bed of which was pressed upward to
the level of the surrounding land.
lIURDLE RACE.— Yesterday a hurdle race !for
£lOO a side, which excited much interest among the officers
of the Guards, took place in the Windsor Home-park be=
tweeu the Hon. Captain Needham, of the Grenadier
Guards, and Captain C. Needham, of the Ist Life Guards.
The distance staked out was 200 yards, over 20 flights of
hurdles. The race was run with the wind, in the direc-
tion of the river Thames. The Hon. Captain Needham
landed over the first hurdle while his opponent was in the
act of rising, gradually drew away, and won easily by two
hurdles. Colonel Phillips, Grenadier Guards, acted as
referee; Colour-Sergeant Crofts, 2d Battalion Coldstream
Guards, was starter. Time, 40 seconds.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE OUTBREAK IN SPAIN.

After ten days' fighting, the insurgents still held Cadiz
at almost all the points which they occupied at first. They
had 3,000 men in arms, consisting very largely of soldiers,
500 or GOO,being regular troops, and from 1,200 to 1,500 rural
guards, or gendarmes wl:o were devoted to the ex-Queen.
All the felons in the city were liberated and armed, and
the appearance in public of these malefactors produced
such a panic that the rich inhabitants were leaving the city
in large numbers. The rising has been formidable, and has
offered a very serious resistance to the ProvisionalGovern-
meat. It is now probable that the insurgents will accept
the terms offered them; but if they do not, the forces that
have been sent to encompass Cadiz are so much out of pro-
portion to those which have gathered under the flag of
the insurrection, that the result cannot long be doubtful.
A great attack by land and sea will soon disp se of the
entrenchments and barricades in the houses and streets,
but this rising ought to be a warning to the Govern-
ment. It shews that too little government amounts in
practice to the same thing as too much. There is always
danger of reaction in a country where the overturning of
one regime has not been followed by the establishment of
another ; and in this case there is a special danger, for
Isabella with her money and her adherents is always at
hand to promote a movement against the men who exiled
her. The rising at Cadiz was, most accounts agree,
greatly supported by funds which could come but from one
quarter.

is equally valuable in its effects, though of course longer perse-

C MCA NY.

The Wiirtemberg Chambers seem disposed to resist the
Prussianising of their country—albeit that process i•
carried on much more slowly than in the neighbouring
State of Baden. The balance of public opinion in these
smaller German States varies much according to
circumstances. In Baden, which is situated near
the French frontier, the fear of French aggrandisement
is always uppermost, and the Liberal party, which adco•
cates union with Prussia, is predominant. But in Wiir-
temberg, where the danger from France is much smaller,
the democratic party, which favours the Federal system
as practised in Switzerland, is in the ascendant.
