The Price of Gold.

T quotaiian of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 17ia. per £1 sterling.
un comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
.co ifs. 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about the same price in London and Paris.
The coarse 01 exchange at New York-on London for ill
at 60 days' bight was on the last date about 1 91 percent.
At this rate there is n, profit on the importation of pit

MODERN BRUTALITY.

We find it stated :in a contemporary that tiA
performance of the drama of " Land Rats and
Water Rats," at the Surrey Theatre, is every evening
accompanied by the risk of life. A woman is bound
and flung on to a railroad to be killed by a passing
engine. This stage-engine would most assuredly kill
the actress who enacts the heroine if by any chance
the word " Go" was given too precipitately by the
rescuing hero to the carpenters who manage the trick:
If.the actor fails to drag the poor woman away in the
very nick of time, if the woman faints and is too
heavy to move, if the sign is mistaken, or the
carpenters make the slightest mistake, a woman will
most certainly be killed. Women and children go into
hysterics and faint at the sensation. Human life, we,
know, is continually sacrificed to our wants andluxuries,
but that a poor woman should have to earn her breal
by putting her life in peril to satisfy a morbid and
brutal passion for sensation is simply disgusting. We
cannot but think that the public has never yet
analysed this hideous craving for excitement, and the
cruelty of which it is the parent, or shame and
amendment would be the result. If playgoing society
will not reform itself in this matter, amendment
must.come from those who have the guardianship of.
, -
pur safety and our morals.

TAXES AND CHARITY.

A lady called the other day at St. George's hospital
to pay her subscription, so that she might save the
charity the expenses of colleAion. She was told,
however, that the money could not be received with-
out passing through the hands of the collector, who
claimed four per cent. The secretary laid the matter
before the weekly board, who found that the laws of
the hospital, which the governors are not in a position
to alter, authorise this percentage. Charitable people
will probably prefer to give to institutions which do
not include their officers in their benevolence. The
governors had better pay their collector a salary. It
may be that he is not overpaid now; but the presont
system, though it may encourage his zeal, has heavy
correspoitding disadvantages.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

The New York papers represent the rising in Cuba as a
very formidable affair. The insurgents number 10,000
men, and hold a great part of the country. They include
the wealthy classes, who freely risk their all in such a
cause, and their organisation is very complete. Great
confusion exists. Our own telegrams leave no doubt that the
rising is one of considerable extent ; but it must not be for-
gotten that the Americans, who have always an eye to the
annexation of Cuba, have every reason to hope for the
success of an insurrection which cannot but further their
great object',

yr-R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
_IL Fleet-street, has introduced an 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 i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

MISCELLANEOUS NE IVS.

ItINISTEItIAL TACTICS.'
rigeTlie'lieading " Ministerial TaCtics
spondent of the .7A27y NM'S gives an inteAsting
sketch of what he thinks will be action of the Con-
servative party in Opposition. Having got Mr.
Disraeli out of office—to the writer an easy matter
-Mr. Gladstone's trouble will begin. He
tivill find the subject of disestablishment and
disendowment so large, that he will have to
divide the measures into two parts—one enacting
immediate disestablishment, gradual disendowment,
and the appointment of a commission to receive the
funds as they fall in; the other defining the eventual
appropriation of the money. He will then attempt
to re-enact his tactics on the Reform question.
But to this the Conservatives will demur, and will
move that the whole of the measures to be considered
be brought before the House. The correspondent of
the Daily News thinks that here also Mr. Gladstone
will have a majority; but not so pronounced as ho
would have supposing the question were moved on
the Address. There will be another " Cave." It is,
therefore, probable that Mr. Disraeli will rather resign
before the kddress than allow a division to take
place which is certain to be against him, and to
shew the whole strength of the Liberal party.
The argument of the correspondent is very plausible.
It should, however, be added that a denial has already
been given, "on authority," to the story as to a
premature resignation. But, for that matter, what
is not said " on authority " now-a-days ?

THE LICENSING SYSTEM.

The honorary secretary of the License Amendment
League writes to the Times upon the subject of a
conference held to-day at the Langham Hotel, Lon-
don, for amending the beerhouse system. He regrets
that it is not proposed to deal more widely with tb.e
subject. He reminds us that the Government
is ,pledged to bring in a measure embracing the whole
subject, and that the present Hume Secretary has
pronounced it useless to bring in a bill which did not
deal with the whole question. Mr. Martin draws
attention to all the abuses connected with
the licensing system, the gin-palaces, dancing
saloons, &c., and says that a very moderate and
practical scheme was drawn up at the Birmingham
Congress this year, and an association is formed to
carry it out. The statesman who will thoroughly
cleanse this Augman stable will be a Hercules indeed
but herculean tasks are set before the statesmen of
the present day, and those who shrink from thegt
must be content to fall to the rear.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-

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
railed the " NaturaiStrengthener 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-
Jumstances, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lie, each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.
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."

MR. BOUCICAUL7'S FAREWELL.

Mr. and Mrs. Dion Boucicault made their last
appearance before the Irish public, at the Theatre
Royal, Dublin, on Saturday evening, in " Arrah-
na-Pogue," before an overflowing and enthusiastic
audience. At the termination of the play Mr. and
and Mrs. Boucicault came before the curtain, in
compliance with a vociferous demand from all parts
of the house, and received an ovation which lasted
several minutes. On their retirement a second call
was made for a speech from Mr. Boucicault, when
he came forward, and labouring under great emo-
tion, said :

,t Ladies and Gentlemen,—l would very much
rather you had not called upon me to say farewell ;
but you have done so in such a spirit, and in such
a way, that I must come to bid you good-bh
though totally unprepared to make any observe'
tions. (Loud cheers.) I have not so announced
it, but this is our last appearance on any stage, and
there are peculiar reasons why I should come to
play in this drama and bid you farewell. (Loud
cheers.) This is my native city. (' We are proud
of you,' and applause.) My earliest association;
are all connected with this place—(' more power,
and loud cheers)—and perhaps a greater reason
don't know whether it be really so—l like
to think that you have received me more warmly
than any others. (Tumultuous cheering, and a ell
of ' You are not appreciated anywhere else.') MI
better self—(' Bring her out')—has been in the
public service ever since she was a child—(cheers)
twenty years—(applause)—sixteen of which she
has passed by my side—(' Let her stand beside you
now,' and great cheers)—and I think, now that
she has helped me to gain an honourable indepeo-
denze it is time she should—(loud applause, during
which the rest of the sentence was lost)—and when
she retires from public life the stage will no longer
have any charms for me. (' You must come back,
and cheers.) I intend to devote myself entirely to
literary pursuits, and I shall endeavour to send
you from time to time, pictures of Irish life and
Irish character better even than those of the
Colleen Bawn' and Arrah-na-Pogue ;' and, there'
fore, in the words of O'Grady, though I shall not
be here iu person, I shall be with you in spirit any
way.' Ido not know what literary value may be
attached to these words, but they contain the true
Irish heart, and every line is instinct with true Irish
spirit. (Tremendous cheering.) I come, therefore,
to bid you farewell—(no, no)—and, hoping you
may retain some pleasant memories of us, I can
assure you that we shall never forget your un-
bounded kindness." (Roars of applause, during
which Mr. Boucicault retired.)
London, England, 1868-12-02

GERMANY.

A very important constitutional alteration has been
submitted to the Prussian Chamber of Deputies by a
strong independent party. The object of this proposal is
to suppress altogether the Prussian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, and transfer it to the North German
Confederation. In other words, the Prussian Foreign
Minister shall act for North Germany, and the
expenses of the department shall be borne by all
the Confederate States. The change is not likely to be
agreeable either to Prussia or its satellites. It seems
natural enough, as the diplomatic representation of all the
States is vested in Prussia, that the expense should be
divided amongst them, and that the Prussian department
should become a Federal department. But Prussia
would not relish the necessary concomitant of
this reform—the appointment of a Minister who
should be responsible to the whole Confederation, nor
would the small States on their part like too much con-
trol in their dealings with foreign nations. The Prussian
statesmen have solved the difficulty with their customary
ingenuity and disinterestedness. The Foreign Ministry
shall remain a Prussian department, but the Confederate
States shall enjoy the privilege of assisting in paying the
expenses. The debates on this question promise to be
interesting.
London, England, 1868-12-02

TIIE BALLOT.

The impetus given to the Ballot during the recent
elections must have astonished even its most ardent
admirers. From all parte of the .ouixtry the name
tale of coercion and intimidation is heard, and the
conversions to secret voting may be counted by
scores. The Liberal papers seem determined
to give publicity to every gross instance of
undue influence, the effect being that many of the
most influential members of the Liberal party, who
have hitherto strongly opposed or only given a half-
hearted support to the Ballot, are now convinced that
its adoption is absolutely necessary. At the contest
in South Devon on Friday, Lord Courtenay, M.P.,
the eldest son of the Earl of Devon., took up his
position in the polling-booth at Kingsbridge, where his
father's tenants came to vote. His lordship was, however,
compelled by the under-sheriff to leave. In another
county—South Shropshire—a clergyman, finding
that numbers of his parishioners had promised to
vote for Mr. More, the Liberal candidate, went about
telling them that they were going to vote for the
Pope, for the Queen to be beheaded, and Pro-
testant clergymen to be burnt for their faith.
A number of cottagers living in a village on the out-
skirts of Shrewsbury received a letter from their
landlord " ordering " them to vote for Mr.
Gore and Lord Newport, and deliberately
threatening them that if they did• not obey his
mandate they would have to quit their cottages
forthwith. The two defeated Liberal candidates for
Southampton have issued addresses, in which they
deliberately state that the main causes of their defeat
were coercion and corruption, in proof of which they
bring forward several instances. Again, the great
difficulty which the Liberal party have had to con-
tend with in order to seat their men for counties is
adduced as another instance why the Ballot should be
taken up by the next Liberal Government, in order to
counterbalance the tremendous influence now wielded
by large landed proprietors. It is therefore suggested
that a memorial should be at once prepared and for-
warded to Mr. Gladstone by the Liberals of every
town in England, setting forth the absolute
necessity of the Ballot, and calling urgently upon him
to direct his attention to the subject. It is believed
that Mr. Gladstone would not be able to resist such
an appeal, and that he would follow the example of
his present and his ex-" whips," Mr. Glyn and Mr.
Brand, in being converted to the justice of such a
measure.
London, England, 1868-12-02

TIIE CONFERENCE AT ST. PETERSBURG.

The International Conference on the subject of the use
of explosive balls in warfare has come to a decision. A
protocol has been signed, stipulating that no explosive
projectile under the weight of about ning-tenths of a
pound shall be employed in battle by any of the consenting
States. Switzerland and Spain, however, are not con-
senting States, nor is America. It is probable that all
attempts to greatly restrict war by cut and dried rules
must break down in practice by the dissent of certain
States vitiating the agreement of the rest.

Dear Sir,—Having tried your Cough Lozenges in India I have
much pleasure in testifying to their beneficial effects in cases of

AIR. BOUCICAUL7'S FAREWELL.

Mr. and Mrs. Dion Boucicault made their last
appearance before the Irish public, at the Theatre
Royal, Dublin, on Saturday evening, in " Arrah-
na-Pogue," before an overflowing and enthusiastic
audience. At the termination of the play Mr. and
and Mrs. Boucicault came before the curtain, in
compliance with a vociferous demand from all parts
of the house, and received an ovation which lasted
several minutes. On their retirement a second call
was made for a speech from Mr. Boucicault, when
he came forward, and labouring under great eine"
tion, said : •

" Ladies and Gentlemen,—l would very much
rather you had not called upon me to say farewell ;
but you have done so in such a spirit, and in such
a way, that I must come to bid you gond-bit
though totally unprepared to make any observe'
tions. (Loud cheers.) I have not so announced
it, but this is our last appearance on any stage, and
there are peculiar reasons why I should come t°
play in this drama and bid you farewell. (Loud
cheers.) This is my native city. (' We are proud
of you,' and applause.) My earliest association;
are all connected with this place—(' more power,
and loud cheers)—and perhaps a greater reason
--I don't know whether it be really so—l like
to think that you have received me more warmly
than any others. (Tumultuous cheering, and a cry
of You are not appreciated anywhere else.')
better self—(' Bring her out')—has been in the
public service ever since she was a child—(cheer)
twenty years—(applause)—sixteen of which sh°
has passed by my side—(' Let her stand beside Yeti
now,' and great cheers)—and I think, now tat
she has helped me to gain an honourable indepen-
dence it is time she should--(loud applause, durnig
which the rest of the sentence was lost)—and when
she retires from public life the stage will no longer,
have any charms for me. (' You must come back,
and cheers.) I intend to devote myself entirely to
i
literary pursuits, and I shall endeavour to send
you from time to time, pictures of Irish life and
Irish character better even than those of the
' Colleen Bawn' and Arrah-na-Pogue ;' and, ther°-
fore, in the words of O'Grady, though I shall nOt
be here in person, I shall be with you in spirit ail
way.' Ido not know what literary value may be
attached to these words, but they contain the tree
Irish heart, and every line is instinct with true 11154
spirit. (Tremendous cheering.) I come, therefore,
to bid you farewell—(no, no)—and, hoping Y°ll
may retain some pleasant memories of us, I can
assure you that we shall never forget your 11n"
bounded kindness." (Roars of applause, during
which Mr. Boucicault retired.)

WESTMINSTER.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF DESERTION FROM THE
MlLlTlA.—Charles Campbell, a respectable-look-
ing young man, was brought up in custody,
charged with deserting from the militia.
A non-commissioned officer proved that the
defendant joined the 4th Middlesex Militia two
years ago. He received the usual notice to attend
for training in April last, but never appeared.
A letter was sent to him at the address given re-
quiring his attendance, and although the training
practice extended to nearly a month nothing was
heard of him. He was met with yesterday and
given into custody for desertion.
The defendant, who was a very mild-spoken,
quiet man, said that he could not go to the
training when he received the notice because
he had inflammation of the lungs.

His non-commissioned officer said that if such
was the case it was his duty to have sent a certifi-
cate of disability to attend. The colonel always
made it perfectly known to all who joined that that
was requisite in case of illness.
Mr. Arnold (to defendant) —Why did you not
send a certificate ?

Defendant—l could not, I was too ill and con-
fined to my bed.
Mr. Arnold—Who attended you as a medical
man ?

Defendant— I could not afford a medical man ?

Non-commissioned Officer—He told me that ho
had been to Mr. Faxon, a medical man, from whom
he had medicine. I have called there, and they
have examined their books and can find no entry
there respecting him.
Defendant—When I went into Mr. Faxon's shop
I told him what was the matter with me, and he
gave me some medicine, for which I paid him. He
told me to go home immediately and remain there.
I became very bad for weeks, and my wife and
sister-in-law went and fetched it, and paid for it as
I had it.

The wife's sister and the landlord proved that he
had long been ill. The former proved that she had
got medicine as prescribed, but could not give the
exact dates.

Mr. Arnold said he should like to hear what
course the commanling officer of the corps would
suggest in such a else, as, although defendant had
not complied with the regulations, it was hardly a
case for punishment.
Defendant was set at large upon his own recog-
nisances to appear again.

FEENCH AND ENGLISH JUDGES.

The Times compares the status of judges in
England and France. With us they are chosen
from the Bar ; with our neighbours the magistracy
or judiciary constitutes a profession apart. One of
the objections to the latter system is the power of
promotion possessed by the Government ; another
is that inferior men sit on the bench. In our own
case the judges are generally the intellectual equals
of the leaders of the Bar. On the other hand, the
Trines thinks that the habit of advocacy will sometimes
cling to a judge, and that some of the English judges
have always shewn an instinctive andunconscious par-
tiality. The French judge has acquired a more
impartial and penetrative mind. The Times holds
that the balance is in our favour. Most people will
think it is immensely so. Truth will be as well cared
for in the custody of such a man as the Lord Chief
Justice of England as it would in the care of a
chairman of quarter sessions; and the intellectual
efforts of the advocate in gathering up every thread
of evidence, and discussing every favourable
_pro-
bability or possibility in any case brought before him,-
can be no bad education for the judge.

pito GItEDA.

A petition has been lodged by Sir F. M'Clintoek
against the return of Mr. Whitworth for Drogheda.
The grounds for disputing the return are, inflamma-
tory speeches delivered by Mr. Whitworth in the
streets, the hiring of mobs for intimidation, the
exercise of spiritual influence, and actual violence by
an armed mob on the day of election. If we are not
very much mistaken, similar grounds for disputing the
validity of an election exist on both sides in many
cases. A case or two brought into court would do no
harm, and might enlighten candidates and 9.lfNtyrq as
to the rules of fair-fighting

THE CONFERENCE AT ST. PETERSBURG.

The International Conference on the subject of the use
of explosive balls in warfare has come to a decision. A
protocol has been signed, stipulating that no explosive
projectile Under the weight of about nine-tenths of a
pound shall be employed in battle by any of the consenting
States. Switzerland and Spain, however, are not con-
senting States, nor is America. It is probable that all
attempts to greatly restrict war by cut and dried rules
must break down in practice by the dissent of certain
States vitiating the agreement of the rest.

TAXES AND CHARITY•

A lady called the other day at St. George's Hospital
to pay her subscription, so that she might save the
charity the expenses of collection. She was told,
however, that the money could not be received with-
out passing through the hands of the collector, who
claimed four per cent. The secretary laid the matter
before the weekly board, who found that the laws of
the hospital, which the governors are not in a position
to alter, authorise this percentage. Charitable people
will probably prefer to give to institutions which do
not include their officers in their benevolence. The
governors had better pay their collector a salary. It
may be that he is not overpaid now; but the present
system, though it may encourage his zeal, has heavy
corresponding disadvantages.

A DEPRESSED TRADE.

Cotton statistics read rather unfavourably just now.
At Preston the .trade has been much depressed for
some time. The total number of pairs of mules
standing still at present is 196, and the aggregate
number of spindles 291,622. Several employers
contemplate running short time, and some stopping
altogether. Whether this is only indicative of a
temporary depression, Or of permanent injury to our
staple manufacture, is a matter well worthytlAQ!

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

gratitude which critics feel to the writer who gives them a
work that deserves a second perusal, we aro obliged to
her for the excellencies of a book which more than justifies
the high opinion which we expressed of her capabilities
when passing judgment on her previous story. Lightly
and closely written, and remarkable for the ingenuity of a
very unusual plot, Kathleen' is the strongest and most
exciting narrative that we have read for many a day. All
lovers of a good novel will find diversion in the pages of
Kathleen.' "—Athenaeum.
