MR. ODGER'S RETIREMENT FROM CHELSEA,.

- ,
A. great deal has been said about the working
men's candidates "making a good thing out of
their job." The revelation which was made about
the candidate for Stoke-upon-Trent by no means
weakened the suspicions which obtained. Whispers
have gone abroad concerning several other candi-
dates ; of none others has rumour been more positive
than of Mr. Odger. The very sum which he received
for retiring was named, and no little contempt has
been expressed for the "honest man who was
bought.' These stories have reached the ear of Mr.
Hughes, M.P. for Frome, and one of the arbi-
trators in Mr. Odger's case. He heard the
tale on very good authority, but indignantly denied
its truth. Being again assured that he was mistaken,
he has written off to Sir Henry Hoare's representative
in the arbitration to ask for a denial. Mr. Beal, the
gentleman in question, replies : " After the decision
of the referees had been given and acquiesced in, I
saw Mr. Odger and asked him whether it was agree-
able to him that I should suggest to Sir Henry
Hoare that the expenses he had personally incurred
should be reimbursed him. He absolutely declined
to allow me to name it. Any statement like that
made to you is a libel on him and all who acted in the
matter."

JEWS IN PARLIAMENT.
No declaration as to religion is now required of
members of Parliament. The old oath has been
gradually altered, until now the oath is one of alle-
giance merely : " I do swear that I will be faithful
and bear true allegiance to her Majesty, her heirs
and successors, according to law. So help me God."
This oath, anyone, save a revolutionist, might take.
No fewer than eight Jews will have to swear their
allegiance : Baron Meyer Rothschild, Hythe; Mr.
Nathaniel Rothschild, for Aylesbury ; Mr. Alderman
Salomons, for Greenwich; Sir Francis Goldsmid, for
Reading; Mr. G. Jessel, Q.C., for Dover; and Mr.
Serjeant Simon, for Dewsbury. Baron Rothschild
was defeated in London, Mr. H. Worms at Sand-
wich, and Mr. Julian Goldsmid for Mid-Surrey,

SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER
PILLS.—A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY.—Pre-
pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe
of Dr. Scott, Bromley, Kent, will be found invaluable to

For habitual costiveness, as a family aperient medicine,
and as a purifier of the blood, they aro truly excellent ;
mild in their operation and grateful to the stomach, they
create appetite, promote digestion, and strengthen the
whole nervous system.—Prepared only and sold by W.

The Price of Gold.

The quotatirn of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 1711 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Hint price of
100. per ounce for standard gold,. :t appears that
gold is about the same prlee in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1 9y per cent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
rom the United States.

When Dr. M'Cosh closed his speech at Prince-
ton College the boys responded with three cheers, the
usual tiger, and a "rocket." This rocket is a thoroughly
Princeton institution, and is given with a f-z-z-z—boom_
a—h ! The first exclamation is supposed to imitate the
flight of a rocket in the air, the second the explosion, and
the third the admiring exclamations of the enthusiastic
spectators as they witness the burst of coloured fire.

Raphael Semmes will shortly again appear on the
scene, in a work elaborated from the logs of the Sumter
and the Alabama. The work will be entitled " The Cruises
of the Sumter and Alabama," Kelly, Piet, and Co., of Bal-
timore, being the publishers. The taste of these coming
out in the face of his indignant countrymen is, to say the
east, questionable on the part of Captain Semmes. But,
to make the work perfect, portraits of himself and Laird
ought to be given.

ELECTION HUMOUR S.

The election for Cambridgeshire is perhaps richer
in the serio-comic element than any other. At the
last election Mr. Young (L.) prayed for sympathy on
account of a " domestic affliction," and Lord Royston,
prompted by a friend in the secret, elicited from his
opponent that the " domestic affliction" was the loss
of a vessel. During the nomination for the present
election Mr. Young appealed to Lord George Manners
to know if he might call him his noble friend. No
answer. lie spoke of the great exertions he
intended to make in the next Parliament, and Lord
Royston held out a flask to him. When it came to
the noble lord's turn to speak he brought some accu-
sations against Mr. Young, and some one on the
hustings gave him the " lie direct." The readers of
history will always be puzzled as to the identity of
this daring man. Daring he was, for only a few
weeks ago Lord Royston thrashed a porter for the
same offence. Mr. Young endorsed the remark so
far as to say that his lordship's statement was
" untrue." One of Mr. Young's supporters
now writes to the Times to deny that
Mr. Young gave his lordship the lie, but the reporter
thinks the voice was the voice of Young. We would
recommend a suitable phrase for that gentleman's
use. It was adopted in the Divorce Court the other
clay by a clergyman who was separated from his wife
for cruelty. He stigmatised a statement of hers as an
"unqualified figment of her fertile imagination.",
A Liberal paper, the Bedfordshire Mercury, can.
now claim admission into the distinguished brother-
hood which introduced a mock Litany into some pro-
ceedings in Hyde Park. Our contemporary rejoices
over the Tory defeat, and publishes an advertise-
ment describing the funeral of Bedford Toryism. It
is simplya blasphemous parody on the Burial Service. I
This is a specimen :—" A man that is born a Tory
hath but a short time to live, and is full of humbug ;
he springeth up like a fungus, and withereth
like a cauliflower ; and is seen no more. In the midst
of strife he meets his death. Oh ! Lord Derby, have
mercy on his foolishness, and deliver him not again
into the bitter pains and disappointments of election.
Forasmuch as it hath pleased the people of this our
borough to have mercy on the soul of our
lx•other here departed, we therefore commit his
brains to the Temple and his money to the
Hall, in sure and certain hope of no resurrection."
There will be very few sufficiently callous to appre-
ciate the humour of this. Most of us have heard the
solemn service at some period of our lives--some
never to smile again; others cherishing the remem-
brance of some noble life, and gleaning therefrom a
brighter hope of immortality. The editor knows so
little of human nature that he has chosen a subject
upon which a laugh is almost impossible.

11. R. HOWARD, :SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
...VAL Fleet-street, has introduced am entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires; or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals 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 the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation. . . _

MR. TENLBS.

Mr. John Timbs and Mr. Charles Knight stand
forth as the favourite compilers of the day. They
have together clone as much to give the people sound
general knowledge and a love of culture as any other
two men now living. They have not, perhaps, set
forth any great scheme of education ; but they have
used those means which were within reach to give
the people information. It is with much pleasure,
therefore, that we record that Mr. Timbs has been
appointed by her Majesty as one of the sharers of the.
Huggens College Fund.

,FOREIGN NOTES-

AMERICA.

The New York Evening Post severely attacks the &rec..,
...ors of the Erie Railway Company, unequivocally charging
them with " conspiracy to defraud." The share capital
amounted to seventeen million dollars at the end of 1.867.'
Since then it has been increased to sixty millions bysurrep.'
titious issues. No dividend that is likely to be obtained
for the next generation can cover such an amount. These
additions, too, were not made for the requirements of the
line, but simply to beat down prices and obtain control of
the property. The issues of fresh capital were of course.
made at a ruinous sacrifice. There appears, however, to
be no redress for the ruined investors. The New York
courts have interfered, and have appointed the president
of the company receiver, with power to buy back one-
third of the capii al, but very little hope is entertained of
this remedy.

The question of the sale and purchase of Cuba, says the
New York Times, may be considered settled. The Spanish
Government will not sell the island, and the American
Government will not buy it. Spain cannot afford to sell,
nor America to buy.

TUEKET.

The Russian Ambassador at Constantinople has been
oullying the Porte. He has addressed to the Turkish
Government an energetic protest on the subject of the
arrest of the Russians who were implicated in the late
" conspiracy." The rigorous execution of the capitulations
is demanded for the future. Now the conspiracy was,
Indeed, a myth ; but the Porte set the prisoners at liberty
as soon as that fact became known, and it is difficult to
see what more it could do. It is undoubtedly a misfortune
for a Government to arrest foreign subjects on false infor-
mation, but really Russia should not give the Turkish
authorities so much ground for suspicion. If all OA
Russian agents were withdrawn from the Ottoman
Empire, the number of mares' nests might become,
smaller. As to the capitulations, it is absurd to expect'
them to be adhered to in the case of a conspiracy aeinst:

the noble lord's turn to speak he brought some accu-
sations against Mr. Young, and some one on the
hustings gave him the " lie direct." The readers of
history will always be puzzled as to the identity of
this daring man. Daring he was, for only a few
weeks ago Lord Royston thrashed a porter for the
same offence. Mr. Young endorsed the remark so
far as to say that his lordship's statement was
" untrue." One of Mr. Young's supporters
now writes to the Times to deny that
Mr. Young gave his lordship the lie, but the reporter
thinks the voice was the voice of Young. We would
recommend a suitable phrase for that gentleman's
use. It was adopted in the Divorce Court the other
day by a clergyman who was separated from his wife
for cruelty. He stigmatised a statement of hers as an
"unqualified figment of her fertile imagination."

A Liberal iaper, the Bedfordshire Mercury, can
now claim admission into the distinguished brother-,
hood which introduced a mock Litany into some pro-
ceedings in Hyde Park. Our contemporary rejoices.
over the Tory defeat, and publishes an advertise-
ment describing the funeral of Bedford Toryism. It
is simplya blasphemous parody on the Burial Service.
This is a specimen :—" A man that is born a Tory
lath but a short time to live, and is full of huMbug ;
he springeth up like a fungus, and withereth
like a cauliflower; and is seen no more. In the midst
of strife he meets his death. Oh 1 Lord Derby, have
mercy on his foolishness, and deliver him not again
into the bitter pahis and disappointments of election.
Forasmuch as it lath pleased the people of this our
borough to have mercy on the soul of our
brother here departed, we therefore commit his
brains to the Temple end his money to the
Hall, in sure and certain hope of no resurrection."
There will bo very few suflicicntly callous to appre-
ciate the humour of this. Most of us have heard the
solemn service at some period of our lives—some
never to smile again ; others cherishing, the remem-
brance of some noble life, and gleaning therefrom a
brighter hope of immortality. The editor knows so
little of human nature that he has chosen a subject
upon which a laugh is almost impossible.

GERMANY.

The Grand Duke of Baden has gone to the south for the
benefit of his health, say the Baden journals. But it is
shrewdly suspected in some quarters that the rheumatism
from which this potentate suffers has less to do with his
journey than his disgust at the arrogance of General
Beyer, the Prussian who officiates as the Baden Minister
of War. The Grand Duke has always been favourable,.
to joining the North German Confederation; but the
despotic conduct of General Beyer has proved too much
even for his tolerance. The Prussian, according to one re.
port, demanded the power of making all the army appoint-
ments ; according to another, they- were to be sub-,
mitted to Berlin for approval. If, however, the Grand
Duke has finally rebelled against the humiliation of ruling
as a Prussian vassal, he has been defeated, for Beyer
remains at Carlsruhe, whilst his sovereign is en conga.
The article in the North German Gazette is considered or
great importance in Paris. The denunciation by Prussia
of the policy of agitation which she was presumed to
support, and her condemnation of the Roumanian Govern-
ment, which she was accused of furnishing with war
material, are equally reassuring and unexpected. This
article, says the Independanee Beige, is the most pacific
symptom the situation has produced. The tone of the
French official press in dealing with Prussian matters has
become much more conciliatory.

of volunteers have offered themselves. As to officers,
Government will be troubled only by the embarrassment
of selection. The heroic ages must surely be come again,

calamity which occurred many thousands of miles away,
and which was the immediate consequence of the imprw
deuce of those whom it betel.

LORD AMBERLEY ON THE HUSTINGS.

Lord Amberley gave an interesting sketch on the hus-
tings of what he wished to have done in the coming Par-
liament—explaining also his noble father's plan for the
settlement of the Irish grievance. What were the objects,
he asked, which the Liberals desired-to attain? The
present did not seem to him a convenient opportunity. to
enter into any detailed exposition of his political opinions,
especially as he bad addressed them on various occasions
throughout the county. But he mentioned the great
objects which he as a member of Parliament would
have at heart, and which he should endeavour to pro-
mote by every means in his power. They wouli, be
the extension of education, the abolition of the
tests at the universities—(cheers, and "No, no," from a
young man in the crowd, clerically attired, and who was
I immediately bonneted)—the adoption of a more effectual
means for the detection and punishment of brillgy.—the
diminution of the expenses of elections, the reform of the
land tenure of Ireland, and the abolition as an Esta-
blished Church of the Protestant Irish Church. And in
abolishing the Irish Church as an Establishment,
they did not seek to obtain the endowment of
any other religious body. He had been asked by
his hon. opponent whether Lord Russell did not propose
a scheme for the endowment of Roman Catholicism.
He proposed to endow the Roman Catholics, but it was
with the revenues of the Established Church. He did
not propose, like her Majesty's present Government, that
any public money obtained by national taxation should be
applied to the establishment of a sectarian Roman Catholic
college. All he proposed was to establish religious equality,
not by disendowment of all sects, but by the endowment
of Roman Catholics, Protestants, and Presbyterians, with
thetfunds of the Church in proportion to their numbers.
That was a very different thing from proposing the
institution of a Catholic college at the expense of the
nation.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

It is said that evidence exists of corrupt practices
at the York election, and we are informed that f.
petition is contemplated against the return of Mr.
Lowther, the Conservative candidate.—Mr. Fender,
having formerly experienced the unpleasant sensation
of being unseated for bribery at Totnes, has
threatened to contest the return of his opponent in
Linlithgowshire, I\lr. 111‘Lagan, 'whom he accuses of
like conduct.

AN EDITOR'S DEFEAT.
This is a time of rejoicing for that temperate
newspaper, the .2Vorwich .Argus. The editor of the
Noilo _Yews, Mr. Tillett, having been defeated in
his candidature of Norwich, the Argus is doubt-
ful whether to sympathise with him, or to
say " Never was insolent pretender more
justly hurled from the position into which his
inordinate vanity had thrust him than Jacob was
hurled on Tuesday last. Never was the old city, by
its doings on the 17th, more exalted ; never was
brawling Radical before so debased." Mr. Tillett is
called a " scarecrow" and other strong names,
the editor of the Arqus executing a sort
of war-dance round his defeated brother;
but as he had already nearly exhausted the
English language in finding epithets to throw at
the editor of the News, he has no bad language
sufficiently expressive for the occasion. If he had
expected this Tory triumph he would probably have
husbanded his resources better. ► ,

SAILORS' HOMES WANTED.—Our own work is not
yet half done, and it is for the good of his own country
that Admiral Hall is still actively working at the head of
an organization called "The Sailors' Home Society,"
which has its offico at No. 6, New Inn-street, with Mr.
John Davies for its honorary secretary, and Admiral Sir
William Hall for its chairman and honorary managing
director. At this particular time it is hard at work
upon two endeavours. One is to set up a Home which
is much wanted at Weymouth for the seamen of the Royal
Navy. The other is to add to the two Homes, which aro
all that have been yet provided by the great and wealthy
port of London, another on the south side of the Thames,
at Rotherhitho. As to the need there, it is enough to say
that at present there is no such thing as a Sailors' Homo
to be found on the south side of the river, where accessible
lodgings are immeasurably squalid, and the docks, though
less important than those of the north side, receive as
much shipping as almost any port in the kingdom.—

MR. FINLEN.
,43:16
Mr. Finlen's is an unenviable position. Reiebled
by all parties, on all hands, he has throlvn himself
on a dying cause, and now amuses himself by,
"spouting stale sedition " on Sundays. The Tele.
graph, never an enthusiastic admirer of the Reform.
League, and by no means disposed to condone Finlen's
faults, seriously considers whether "James" should not
be legally called to account. "No doubt persons like
Finlen are in themselves so contemptible, that if
dragged into a police-court they are as highly
honoured as respectable men would be by an eleva-
tion to the peerage. But, though personally insig-
nificant, they may do serious mischief to ignorant
people by the use of such language as that
enlployed on Sund!iy. With respect to the
ariqocracy and to the eg.eeution of the law,
li'mlen and colhaagues used words which
were a direct incentive to violence and riot."
We arc disposed to think that our contemporary
over-estimates the evil which Mr. Finlen is capable
of doing even to " dupes." But it is worth while
considering whether some means cannot be found for
putting Finlen among the powers that were, without
increasing either his popularity or notoriety.

ANO 111.1 t, Sri NS l'En.

The ambition of the ladies has been fired by the
recent attempt to give them a voice in legislation.
The gallant editor of the Post gives these letters the
honour of leader type. "A. Spinning Spinster"
now writes to complain of the difficulty of suburban
driving. In the London season, when she drives a
pair of ponies through the streets, she meets with
great politeness from the 'bus drivers and cabmen ;
but this winter she has ventured into the suburbs,
and to her dismay she finds she has to dodge in
various ways numberless brewers' waggons and
market carts, whose drivers are engaged in after-
beer siestas, securely happy in the knowledge
that other carriages could not hurt them.
She remarks that a shriek of indignation would burst
from the great unwashed if one of the Upper Ten
slept in his drag and put a donkey cart in danger,
The lady evidently thinks that the evil days are
coining when it will be a crime to have awhite hand,
and the cry of , "Aristocrat " will be followed by
"A_ la lanterne." Latiis rather attribute_ her,difil4
culties to the sleepy-headed Cerberus at Scotlandl
yard., who, in the estimation of the public, has slum..
bered long enough.
