NEW YORK IRON MARKET.

Scotch pig is quiet, with an ample supply and mode-
rate demand, but prices may be said to be well sup-
ported; 200 to 300 tons sold in lots at $39 for Eglinton,
ex-ship, and $42 for Gartsherrie from yard. The
movement in American has continued to a fair ex-
tent, but the reluctance of the leading companies to offer
their stocks at present or name prices for future delivery
restricts business, and we only notice 2,000 tons Allen-
town No. 1 at $3B 00 to $3B 50 for March, April and
May ; 2,000 do other Lehigh brands $37 to $3B ; and
300 do Silver Gray $34 ; Allentown is now held at $39,
and for other first class brands $3B has been refused,
but some of the makes, we understand, can yet be
bought as low as $3O to $37. In other kinds we only
notice 1,000 tons new American rails, on terms not
transpired. American refined is held higher : we
note small sales Trenton at $B5 per ton. Store prices
are firm, but business continues light.—Shipping List.

BARON BEUST'S SPEECH.

The speech which the New Free Press published as being
delivered by Baron Beust before the Military Committee at
Vienna produced a considerable effect on the Bourse.
Bentes fell nearly L) per cent., and a panic was prevented
only by the very general belief that the speech was a
fabrication. And so, it appears, it is. Baron Bcust
addressed the committee in general terms, which the New
Free Press skilfully elaborated into the most foolish
harangue ever delivered by a statesman of high position.
London, England, 1868-10-30

31ISTARES ?

The newspapers teem with complaints as to the
incorrectness of the lists of election committees.
Names are put down which have no business there,
and one is inclined to doubt whether a mistake that
is repeated so often can really be a mistake at all.
Mr. Mitchell Henry's committee for the Man-
chester election writes to an elector to state that
Mr. Henry's pledges are so numerous his success is
certain. They add : " As, however, two additional
candidates have presented themselves, his executive
committee, in order to return him at the head of the
poll, respectfully request you, as one of the general
committee, to obtain as many additional pledges
as possible, and return them upon the enclosed card
to the central offices without delay. That the
executive may know from whom they receive assist-
ance, please write your name and address on the card."
This elector states that he has never promised to vote
for Mr. Henry, much less allow his name to be put
on the committee ; and remarks that if Mr. Henry's
success is supposed to be certain on such grounds, he
will find himself undeceived. There is some
mysterious connection between politics and trickery,
and even honourable men seem to be demoralised at
election times, just as some usually hcnest people
cannot resist the temptation of cheating at cards or
taking advantage of their neighbours in horse-
dealing.

Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN.

Vice-Patron—

•
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, B.G.
President—His Grace the Duke of BTJCCLEUCH, K.G.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
dosticute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ;
Herries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
PARIS, Oct. 29.
The Memorial Diplonzatique publishes a letter of
Don Carlos, notifying to the European Powers the
abdication of his father in his favour. The letter
says that if God and circumstances place him upon
the throne of Spain, he will make it his duty loyally
to haruaouise the useful institutions of the age with
the indispensable institutions of the past, leaving to
the Cortes the task of framing the Constitution.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

question is looitea into. A man who has robbed
another of money is sent to prison for
five years ; a man who robs his friend
of one of his eyes receives three months.
Here is apparently an injustice. But if in the first
case the condemned man is a confirmed thief, has
been repeatedly convicted, is a hardened rascal, and
in the Other the man who committed the deed did so
in a passion, when not in one respect accountable for
his actions, the injustice becomes even-handed
righteousness. Feeling this, Mr. Lloyd Baker has
brought a memorial for adoption before the ..nagis-
trates of Gloucestershire, in which he deprecates the
shortening of sentences by the Home Department.
" Judges and magistrates," he says, " endeavour as
carefully as they can to allot to each crime a propor-
tionate punishment. Exactly, however, as the execu-
tive department renders the punishment more severe,
the judicial authority shortens the sentence, and
convicts are thus allowed the sooner to return to their
evil course."

national, not official, relations witn tne new Zpamou
Government ; and the French document goes so far as to
express a hope that these relations may be regularised at
no distant date. The cold, formal tone of the English
note is said to have surprised the Spanish statesmen by its
contrast with the sympathetic expressions of the French
communication. General Prim, however, ought at least
to know that the reality is quite the reverse of the
appearance.

THE DUKE OF ERABANT.

The second puncture, which was found absolutely neces-
sary to preserve the life of the Duke of Brabant, has
partially succeeded. Several deep incisions produced a
partial evacuation of the accumulated water, and its
temporary withdrawal from the cavity of the stomach.
The prince afterwards enjoyed some little repose. But
the physicians, says a correspondent of the Standard, hold
out no hope from this relief ; the operation is considered
merely as a palliative which cannot be again resorted to.

NEVDEGATE AND DR. TEMPLE.

Dr, Temple writes to the Times to explain his pre-
sence at the late Conservative meeting at Rugby.
os..t the last election it appears, he took the chair at
a Liberal meeting. Soon after a Conservative meeting
was held, when he was away for the holidays. Mr.
Newdegate afterwards complained to him that he had
met with very uncivil treatment, and thought the
doctor should not have kept out of the way. Not
wishing the hon. member to make the same complaint
again, Dr. Temple went to the door of the Town Hall on
Monday to be within call. Mr. Newdegate beckoned to
him, and he went to the platform, without any inten-
tion of speaking. He merely attempted to assist in
stopping the interruptions. Ile pays Mr. Newdegate
the compliment of testifying to his straightforward,
courteous, and friendly conduct. The case was dis-
graceful enough before; it is worse now ; and per-
haps the Globe may acknowledge that it was rather
hasty in condemning Dr. Temple's preset icti o,t the
meeting, without one word of blattle for the bucolica
who bundled him out of the room.

THE AB rssrs:lAN AztrrE.
Mr. D_ isrP
in
fi cannot be said to have been sparing
...le bestowal of the Abyssinian honours. There
was a peer created, several and similar
decorations, a large number of advancements
were made, and altogether the announcements
in the Gazette made a " pretty batch." But
nobody seems to have been satisfied except
the immediate friends of those really ad-
vanced. " What about Mr. Rassam ?" cries one ;
and no sooner is the cry raised than fifty others
rise up claiming consideration for their pitiful
cases. Now it is for some officer who first led the
men to this place, again for ono who stayed behind
and guarded stores in that place ; now for
some officer who was active, and again for
one who, forbidden to go forward, did not
chafe under inaction,—till now it comes to be
"rumoured " or " pretty generally understood," "in
military circles " or " at the clubs,' that there is to be
another Abyssinian Gazette, If so, it is to be hoped
that the Premier will make a clean sweep, and leave
no " legacy of discontent " to the incoming Govern-
ment.

MADAME RAC ITEL.

It had been long understood that Madame Rachel's
case was not finally disposed of, and that it would
appear in a Court of Error. The ground for dis-
puting the validity of the conviction was said to be
the course of Mr. Commissioner Kerr in putting the
case before the jury. In his summing up he
drew attention to some water-marks upon the
letters of Mrs. Borrodaile and Madame Rachel,
and the newspapers were flooded with a corre-
pondence criticising this unusual circumstance
of a judge introducing new features in a case
which counsel had closed. Now it appears that
the chief issue is the validity of the Commis-
sioner's jurisdiction. The Attorney-General has
granted his fiat for a writ of error, and application
has been made before Mr. Commissioner Kerr
that the record of the conviction should be
drawn up in accordance with the facts. It
is questioned whether Mr. Kerr, who is the judge
of the City of London Court, is entitled to act as one
of the commissioners, and to dispose of cases in the
Central Criminal Court. He formerly did so as judge
of the Sheriff's Court, but the jurisdiction having been
changed by the new County Courts Act, a doubt ap-
pears to exist whether he is now legally qualified to
act as a commissioner of the Central Criminal Court.
The counsel stated that this was only one of the
points to be raised upon the argument in error, so
that Madame Rachel, besides affording an instructive
lesson in modern manners, will serve now to illus-
trate the uncertainty of the law. It is very strange
that judges should not foresee these difficulties; and
should not be perfectly sure of their jurisdiction
Ibefore trying a case.
THE STRAW-PLAIT 'WORKERS OF DUNSTABLE.

Can anything possibly be done to relieve the
straw-plait workers of Dunstable and the neighbour-
hood, not by giving them charity, but by giving
them work ? That fashion will change is too much
to hope. But cannot the workers change ? Can
they do nothing but plait straw ? Artificial flowers,
combinations of silk velvet and ribbon, are all " some-
thing after their style." Are they so helpless as not
to be able to take this kind of work ? Or, if so,
there are certainly other uses to which straw
might be put besides bonnets. A correspondent of
the Daily News suggests that for the future all
these workers should be educated in the laws of taste
so
that they might be able to put
tahnedir chemistry,
things when one thing fails.
handsto other
Extended, his suggestion would come to this : " Let
all who are dependent for their livelihood on the
fashions, and who may thus be turned out of work
at any time, learn some other and similar trade, so
that when the one fails they may have the other ;
or, at any rate, let their education be such as not to
confine them to
one mechanical opera-
tion,"the merely

springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-

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 i hat are loose, and is gua-

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. Vic. per Li sterling.
On ouiparing these rates with the English Mint price of
100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about the same price in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bill s
at 60 days' eight was on the last date about 1(.9f per cent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the United States.

MR. GLADSTONE EXAMINED.

A Mr. James Pickering wrote some questions
down for Mr. Gladstone previous to the 'Wigan
meeting, and presented himself at the meeting with
the expectation that Mr. Gladstone would answer
them in his speech. Mr. Gladstone has written him
a letter explaining why he did not deal with them.
lle says : "Sir, the letter you have addressed to me
contains, under the name of questions, the whole sug-
gestion of an elaborate argument on the Church
Establishments of the country, which would have
required a speech in reply ; and it was not possible
for me, you not thinking tit to make the inquiries on
the occasion of the meeting at Wigan, to mould my
address to that meeting on the framework supplied
by you. You will, of course, have the opportunity
at the nomination of putting any interrogatories to
me which you think proper." Considering that the
questions submitted to the right hon. gentleman
embraced not only the disposal of the property of
the Irish Church, but required from him a statement
of his course of action in case the clisestablishment
and disendowment of the English and Scotch Churches
were proposed, as well as his intentions with regard
to Ritualism, his reticence is not much to be wondered
at. Mr. Pickering replied that he wrote his questions
down because he did not wish to disturb the
meeting, and that he was afraid of a knock on the
head if he spoke. He is thus precluded altogether
from obtaining t n answer to his question.
TIIE SOLICITOR-GENERAL ON TIIE EXPENDITURE.
Mr. Baggallay, the new Solicitor-General—the
fifth or sixth of the Conservative Administration—
has been talking at Hereford on the expenditure.
Ile said that Mr. Gladstone was charging the Govern-
-1,...ent with that for which he was himself mainly
responsible. He thought that the soldier ought to
have a larger salary than ho used to have ; the
Government thought the same : that caused an in-
crease in the expenditure. The Liberals said
that it was the duty of the country
to provide education for the children of poor
parents. Mr. Baggallay, we are happy to say,
thought the same ; so did the Conservative Govern
went. Their opinion cost the country another
quarter of a million ; which, we may add, neither the
country, Mr. Gladstone, nor the Liberal party
grudges. So far so good. But in this way Mr. Baggallay
has not accounted for three millions, but only for a small
portion of that sum. Here is his argument as
to the rest. " Tho population of the country was
estimated to increase at the rate of something over
two millions in every ten years. Could they expect
that the population, say of 20 millions, in 1861
could be managed and governed for the same sum
that the population of 17, millions could in 1851 ?
If we were increasing our population every day, it
stood to reason we must be increasing the expenses
of their government also." At the rate of three
millions per annum ?

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach."
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
:mmstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to bo derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at is. I}d., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
" Norton's Camomile Pills."

RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES.

DENBIGH, RUTHIN, AND CORIVEN.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Manchester;
Mr. H. Gartsidc in the chair.

The report stated that the revenue account
showed an increase, but there were claims against
the company of upwards /of £12,000. A scheme
was prepared by the board to raise a sum sufficient
to meet the liabilities and to recoup to revenue the
sum applied therefrom for capital purposes. In the
event of the scheme not receiving the sanction of
the Court, it was intended to give notice of appli-
cation to Parliament for a bill during the next s:s-
sion to enable the board to raise the required
amount. They hope I soon to be able to resume
payment of the rent-charges and debenture inte-
rest. The traffic had been worked without the
-lightest accident to passengers. The revenue for
the half-year was £4,710, being an increase of
£l5O over that of the corresponding half of 1867-
The total receipts from all sources were £4,771)
and the working expenses amounted to £3,321, la"
eluding rates and taxes and the repairs of the line.
In reply to questions it was stated that if they
obtained an act a clause could be inserted to make
the debentures payable in three or five years. The,
direct route from Rhyl to the Welsh Coast, it was
expected, would bring additional traffic on the line.
After some discussion, in which it was shown that
the bill would be the most effective mode of pro-
ceeding, the report was adopted.

THE CANADIAN DOMINION.

The negotiations for the incorporation of the Hudson's
Bay Territory in the new Canadian Dominion are not
in a promising condition. All that is required to transfer
this vast tract of country is the payment of a
money compensation to the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany, but this is by no means likely to be made.
The Canadians doubt the title of the company to the
territory, and, further, have no funds at disposal. The
Canadian News is in a position to state that the expecta-
tion that any money will now be paid by the Government
of Canada may he at once abandoned, and an announce-
ment to this effect will most likely be forthwith made.

7ERRII3LE RAILWAY ACCIDFIV

Another terrible railway accident took Peuole'

MISTAKES P

The newspapers teem with complaints as to the
incorrectness of the lists of election committees.
Names are put down which have no business there,
and one is inclined to doubt whether a mistake that
is repeated so often can really be a mistake at all.
Mr. Mitchell Henry's committee for the Man-
chester election writes to an elector to state that
Mr. Henry's pledges are so numerous his success is
certain. They add : " As, however, two additional
candidates have presented themselves, his executive
committee, in order to return him at the: head of the
poll, respectfully request you, as one of the general
committee, to obtain as many additional pledges
as possible, and return them upon the enclosed card
to the central offices without delay. That the
executive may know from whom they receive assist-
ance, please write your name and address on the card."
This elector states that he has never promised to vote
for Mr. Henry, much less allow his name to be put
on the committee • and remarks that if Mr. Henry's
success is supposed to be certain on such grounds, he
will find himself undeceived. There is some
mysterious connection between politics and trickery,
and even honourable men seem to be demoralised at
election times, just as some usually honest people
cannot resist the temptation of cheating at cards or
taking advantage of their neighbours in horse-
dealing.
