In addition to the statutes of the Federal Go-
vernment relating to naturalization, each State
has determined by law the qualifications of citizen-
ship and suffrage within its limits. The United States
demands before admission a residence in the country
of five years, and of one within the particular State
where the application is made. The applicant must
also give two years' notice of his intention to be-
come a citizen. No alien can be admitted while his
country is at war with the United States. " Bacon's
Handbook" gives the following estimate of the
number and original nationality of naturalized
citizens :—lreland, 1,611,000 ; German States,
1,198,000.; England, 430,000 ; British America,
250,000 ; France, 109,000 ; Scotland, 105,000 ;
Switzerland, 54,000 ; Wales, 45,000 ; Norway,
43,000 ; Holland, 28,000; Turkey, 28,000 ; Italy,
10,000 ; Denmark, 10,000 ; Belgium, 9,000 ; Po-
land, 7,000 ; Mexico, 7,000 ; the Antilles, 7,000 ;
China, 5,000 ; Portugal, 4,000 ; Prussia, 3,000 ;
various countries, 204,000—total, 4,136,000. The
computation of Chinese is now altogether under
the mark ; and we have little doubt that the figure,
representing Prussia, although prior to the late North
German Confederation, is an error. The great
bulk of naturalized citizens are British and Ger-
man. There is no reason as regards the United
Kingdom why Congress should not pass au Act
making naturalization tantamount to birth in
the United States. As English law now stands,
half the citizens of the Union are regarded as Bri-
tish subjects, including very probably the PRESI-
DENT himself. Such an Act would only add a
comparatively small number more to those consi-
dered by English law as subjects of the Crown, one
of those fictions which abound in British statutes,
and which no one ever dreams of seeing carried
into practical effect. The case is, however, differ-
ent with Germany. By the law of Prussia every
man born within the limits of the kingdom is
obliged to do military service between the ages of
26 and 30, and this obligation is lasting, and can-
not be escaped by absence, which indeed is regarded
as a crime. The nation recognizes the citizen's right
to expatriate himself after performing this obliga-
tion. The subject has already caused lengthened
controversies between Washington and Berlin.
American naturalized citizens who have returned
to Prussia have been arrested and forced into the
military service. Such an Act by Congress would
either compel Prussia to modify her law or lead to
a rupture.

SIR,--Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis, which
left at times a tickling in the Throat, with other unpleasant feel-
ings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF ANISRXD; I did so,
and have found very great relief; it is most comforting in allay-

done. With many thanks from your obedient servant,

All ERICA.

Even in these days of extraordinary commercial transac-
tions, the swindling in connection with the Erie Railway
must be regarded as a phenomenon. A lawsuit has been
commenced to restrain three of the directors, who form a
majority of the whole board, from further mismanage-
ment of the company, and for the appointment of a
receiver. The bill of complaint is an excellent specimen
of its kind. -It states that the whole amount of legally
authorised stock is 165,000 shares. The defendants, the
three directors, illegally issued 58,000 additional shares in
May 1860 ; in February last they issued 50,000 more, and
the next month another 50,000. Legal proceedings had been
taken against these directors, but they were disregarded, and
whilst the lawsuit was slowly going on in the courts, the
Erie Company was rapidly going on the road to ruin.
Three million dollars in convertible bonds were issued,
and these were quickly converted into 30,000 more illegal
shares, and shortly after a large holder was bought out of
the company in order to give the triumvirate a more com-
plete command of affairs. These things done, the three
made themselves members of the " executive corn.
mittee " that controls the railway, and, being a
majority of the five directors comprising it, ruled the
company, and from that time forth stopped having any
meetings of the board of directors at all. The committee
met secretly, did what it pleased, and submitted its pro-
ceedings for approval to no one. They even appointed
one of their own body auditor. More illegal shares were
issued, and, finally, the original number of 165,000 was
swollen:to the enormous total of 607,000. The complaint
states that the money thus raised has been applied to the
directors' own purposes. They have even kept a sum of
£3,600,000 in their own hands, not depositing it in any
bank, but wing it for operations on the money market.
They finally contemplated carrying over the falsified books,
the funds and everything else, to New Jersey, out of the
reach of the New York court. The worst of the story is,
that the authors of this, perhaps the most flagrant speci-
men of commercial swindling ever known, have hitherto
been triumphant even in the law courts. The effect of
these transactions has been unparalleled. For a fortnight
the three directors "knocked about at will the prices of
gold, wheat, bonds, railway shares, and almost everything
that is bought and sold."

CONTAGION.

A correspondent of the Tinzes, noticing the case of
the boy who was removed from Marlborough College
and conveyed to his home by train before he had
recovered from the effects of scarlet fever, draws
attention to the Sanitary Act of 1866, under which
both the authorities of the College and the parents
of the boy would be liable to punishment. It
would be as well if he could point out a way to put
such laws impartially in force. There are enough
Acts of Parliament in existence to cure almost every
evil under the sun, but for all the practical use they
are, they might as well be fulminations from the
Vatican.
London, England, 1868-12-05

NEW COLLEGE.

Further correspondence upon the subject of the
late outrage at Oxford gives a very different com-
plexion to the affair. An undergraduate made out
that the culprit who broke the windows was requested
by the other undergraduates not to give up his
name. It now appears that it was only the men of
his set who thus advised him, and that a meeting of
undergraduates has condemned the blackguardly con-
duct of this unknown offender. Now that the whole
college is punished for it, if he have any sense
of honour, he will give himself up. The authorAi. s
may have taken a very severe step, but a " Fellow cf
a College " thinks there is no alternative, as the
undergraduates are free from police control, and are
not subject to that government vested in the more
intellectual members of their own society, which
constitutes the monitorial system at our public
schools. This window-breaking is said to be the
climax of a long aeries of wanton and deliberate
insults. It is unfortunate that undergraduates, in
emulating the heroes of "Verdant Green," should
omit all the wit from the part, and retain allethe
mischief.
London, England, 1868-12-05

'WHAT VERDICT ?

We drew attention the other day to the peril in
which a woman was placed at the Surrey
.Theatre,
London. The news from Liverpool furnishes the
best comment upon such brutal disregard of
human life. An acrobat performing. on the trapeze
at the Colosseum lost his hold and fell, fracturing
his skull and injuring himself so fearfully
that his life is despaired of. It was announced
the other day that the Brothers Culleen,
"having recovered from their late severe accident,"
would compensate for the disappointment felt at their
non-appearance by taking their new and daring leap
for life. &midst the plaudits of a full house, they
took this leap, and one of them has probably taken
it for the last time. We can only pity the poor men
who thus sacrifice themselves to the public taste.
That such should be its taste is a matter for disgust,
and the permission of such performances is a national
shame and scandal.
London, England, 1868-12-05

THE LATE PRIMATE'S WILL.

The will of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, dated
the 3d of April, 1868, with a codicil dated the 16th of Octo-
ber, 1868, was proved on the Ist instant by the lion. H. W.
Parnell, the Rev. J. R. Hall (Rector of Hunton, Kent),
and Henry Longley, E-q. (the eldest son of deceased),
the executors. The personal property is sworn under
£40,000. The dispositions of deceased's will and codicil,
with the exception of nineteen guineas to each executor and
legacies to his servants, aro entirely in favour of his sons
and daughters. Among the specific bequests the testator
gives to his son Henry tho following, which ho wished him to
consider as heir-looms---" The Holy Bible" and'' The Early
Years of the Prince Consort," given to him by the Queen,
with her autograph. The statuette of Raphael given to
him by the Princess Alice, and the "Reading Boy," given
to him by the Princess Helena, on their respective mar-
riages; the service books for the several offices of the
Church which he has performed for different members of
the Royal family ; the gold coronation medal and the two
silver medals given to him by the Queen on the mar-
riages of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Helena;
his correspondence with the Queen and other royal per-
sonages; and the three books given to him by the Queen
of Prussia, viz., "La Vie Eternelle," "Le Pere Celeste,"
and "Jesus Christ et son Temps."

THE BISHOP OF CORK AND RITUALISM.

The Right Rev. Bishop of Cork inaugurated a series of
Advent lectures in the parish church, Belfast, on
Wednesday evening. In the course of his sermon he
rebuked tho effeminate sacerdotalism of the day. Their
duty, ho urged, was to preach the Gospel—to
preach Christ—and not to imitate those who went
on preaching churches, dresses, music, twists here and turns
there - folly ! folly ! only fit fur un asylum, for a lunatic or
idiot asylum, but not for an institution and agency
charged with the office of preaching tho Word. Con-
cluding a sermon practical rather than didactic, his
lordship remarked that it was to him a sincere plea-
sure to come to this northern country where there was
so much Protestantism—where, ho trusted, the noble Pro-
testant mind of this country was being strengthened, and
the noble Protestant heart of the country purified. Ho felt
when he wont to England an elation finding himself in the
midst of a great Protestant people—with the body of the
people—of a great country which had risen precisely as it
became raoro and more Protestant.
London, England, 1868-12-05

SPAIN.

The Provisional Government is in want of an ambassa-
dor at the Court of St. James's, and it is thought the
Duke.of Frias will receive this important appointment.
This is the Spanish nobleman who married Lady Cramp-
ton, We Isabella Balfe, the daughter of the celebrated
musical composer. This lady, it will be remembered, ob-
tained a divorce from her first husband after a suit which
gained much more notoriety than credit.
The Opinion Rationale must take the responsibility of
the statement that the Provisional Government has finally
decided upon the young Duke of Geneva, as the future
ruler of Spain. Tiiis prince is nephew to the King of
Italy, and is fourteen years of age.
London, England, 1868-12-05

DEATH OF CAPTAIN BROOKE.

The death is announced of Captain J. B. J. Brook,
son of the late Rajah of Sarawak. Mr. Brooke was
formerly captain in her Majesty's 88th Reghnent. In
at the request of his uncle, Sir James Brooke, ho left her

Majesty's service and joined Sir James Brooko in Sarawak.
Mr. Brooko devoted himself to the service in Sarawak; and
in 1858, when Sir James Brooke was incapacitated by an
attackof paralysis from further active exertion, Mr.Brooke,as
Raja Muda,offectua]ly carried on the government of Sarawak.
Mr. Brooke was ditinguished for the energy with which ho
suppressed piracy on the coast of Borneo, and for the able
manner in which he ruled and conciliated the natives of
Sarawak. Last year Mr. Brooke exhibited symptoms of a
fatal malady similar to that which caused the death of his
uncle and early friend a few months ago. Within six
months the two principal actors in the scenes of Sarawak
have passed away under the influence of disease brought
on by the cares and anxieties attending their position in
Sarawak. Mr. Brooke married, in 1856, the daughter of Mr.
and Lady Lucy Grant, of Kilgradon, by whom he had two
sons. Mrs. Brooko died in 1858 in Sarawak, his eldest eon
died in Sarawak in 18G0, leaving his second son, Hope Brooko,
as his heir. Mr. Brooke married again in 1861, Miss Wel-
stead, of Kimbolton. Mrs. Welstoad Brooko died in Sara-
wak in 1862, leaving issue one daughter. Mr. Brooko was
the eldest son of the Rev. Charles Francis Johnson, of
White Lackington.

I3REACII OF PROMISE.

An instructive case has just been heard in the
Court of Common Pleas, in which a widow of 40
claimed £3OO damages from a man whom his counsel
stated to be 75 years of age, and paralysed for thirty
years. The promise of marriage was fairly proved,
and the woman obtained her damages. It is probable
that this uxorious old man could afford to pay them, and
deserved to pay them for his folly. It is also
probable that the woman would, from her position,
find the money very useful. Whether she deserved
such a solatium is another matter. It was stated
that the defendant could not dress or undress him-
self; and such a poor wreck she was ready to swear
she would love and cherish as her husband. These
breach-of-promise actions are too often the resort of
adventuresses, and seldom are the medium of afford-
ing compensation to those who have the most right
to claim it, but whose modesty prompts them to let
" concealment feed on their damask cheek."

Mr. Henry Labouchei-e, whose rej ectv.9-: for Middle-
sex is to a large extent owing to clerical influence,
sends a neat letter to the Times, in which he explains
why, though in his opinion a Dissenting minister
may preach and teach politics, a Church clergyman
should not. "A. Nonconformist divine," he argues,
"in his relation to the State, is a private individual ; a
clergyman of the Established Church is not. He is
the minister of a national Church, his pulpit
is a
national pulpit, and he is supported by national
funds. When he puts his clerical influence and his
pulpit at the service of party, he makes the Church
of which he is a minister the Church of a party, and
not the Church of the nation."

THE LAND TAX.

A letter complaining of too much land tax would
probably make Mr. Bright stare. But such a com-
plaint is made by a correspondent of the Times, who
asks what authority the collectors of Worcestershire
have for increasing the tax 10 per cent. " A new
valuation of estates was," he says, " made in
1002, and certain payments were apportioned to
each county, hundred, or other division, but I know
of no new valuation of the land since the time of
William lII.* The inequality of the land tax in
various counties is very great, owing to a variety of
causes; for instance, while in Bedfordshire .it was
2s. ld. in the pound, and in Surrey Is. id., it was at
the same but 81d. in Durham, 2d. in Lancashire, and
94 d. in Scotland. We have been accustomed to look
on this tax as fixed in amount and unalterable, but
during the present month the collector has demanded
an increased payment of something like 15 per cent.
on the whole rate, and is unable to assign a reason
for it, except that the alteration is based on the poor
rate book."

SPAIN.

The Provisional Government is in want of an ambassa-
dor at the Court of St. James's, and it is thought the
Duke of Fries will receive this important appointment.
This is the Spanish nobleman who married Lady Cramp-
ton, nee Isabella Balfe, the daughter of the celebrated
musical composer. This lady, it will be remembered, ob-
tained a divorce from her first husband after a suit which
gained much more notoriety than credit.
The Opinion .Nationale must take the responsibility of
the statement that the Provisional Government has finally
decided upon the young Duke of Geneva as the future
ruler of Spain. This prince is nephew to the King of
Italy, and is fourteen years of age.

MOURNING IN SIAM.

A letter from Bangkok states that the funeral ceremonies
attendant upon the death of the late King will last until
March. The body was bathed after death, dressed in the
royal robes, and fixed in a sitting posture in the receptacle
which is to contain it. " The sign of mourning ordained
throughout the kingdom is the shaving of the tuft from the
heads of all subjects, -with the solitary exception of such
princes ac, being older than the deceased potentate, are
permitted to enjoy the privilege of an inviolate top knot.
Saturday last was a great day for barbers, it having been
named for carrying out this piece of etiquette under
penalty of a severe flogging. I was standing in the
vicinity of the royal residence, and calculated that a stream
of eighty bald heads passed in every minute, which would

gloomy misgivings. In 1868 the successful statesman is
the idol of the country, and his return to Berlin has been
looked for as the only guarantee of sound policy.

WHAT VERDICT

We drew attention the other day to the peril in
which a woman was placed at the Surrey Theatre,
London. The news from Liverpool furnishes the
best comment upon such brutal disregard of
human life. An acrobat perforrdng• on the trapeze
at the Colosseum lost his hold and fell, fracturing
his and injuring himself so fearfully
that his life is despaired of. It was announced
the other day that the Brothers Careen,
"having recovered from their late severe accident,"
would compensate for the disappointment felt at their
non-appearance by taking their new and daring leap
for life. &midst the plaudits of a full house, they
took this leap, and one of them has probably taken
it for the last time. We can only pity the poor men
who thus sacrifice themselves to the public taste.
That such should be its taste is a matter for disgust,
and the permission of such performances is a national
shame and scandal.. • •

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

A COMPLIMENT TO MR. REVERDY JOHNSON.

The Reform League, having constituted itself into
a sort of cosmopolitan tribunal, or supreme court of
appeal for the settlement of the affairs of all nations,
has begun to be very cautious. Delegates from the
League, the International, and other associations,
have met to consider the propriety of giving the
American Ambassador a dinner, to shew the good
will of the working classes in this country towards
their brethren in America. But here arises a
difficulty. They do not want to compliment Mr.
Johnson, but only the people he represents. Mr. Beales
was in the chair. After a Mr. Coningsby had said
something about not confounding Mr. Johnson's
public with his private career, Mr. Beaks discussed
how far "the compliment would be acceptable to the
people of America, sent through a tainted medium."
A resolution was passed to invite working men of all
parties to another meeting. Perhaps the " tainted
medium " will best consult hisown dignity by declining
any invitation. It is not absolutely necessary for
the perfection of his mission of conciliation that he
should be patronised by the Reform League. It
should be remembered that Mr. Johnson has already
accepted an invitation, and been put off on the score
of expense.

THE TOWED HAMLETS ELEC TION.

It would be just as well if Mr. Beales were to keep
his temper over his defeat at the Tower Hamlets.
He has been really rampant concerning it ; and Mr.
Beales charging everybody else with impure
motives, &c., is not a very dignified spectacle. One
of the other Liberals who was beaten was
Mr. Newton. Mr. Beales thinks that had
Mr. Newton retired, some of his voters would have
given their adherence to him, and thus he might
have beaten Mr. Samuda. So he is very hard upon
Mr. Newton, hinting pretty plainly that he had re-
ceived money to hold on. Mr. Newton indignantly
denies any corrupt motives orbargains of any kind. To
which Mr. Beales returns, " You could not have acted
worse if you had been paid." He /Suggests, too, that
the election was not conducted (IL. grounds either
honourable or pure. Really. charges are
needless and shew a pettish spirit
London, England, 1868-12-05

CONTAGION.

A correspondent of the Times, noticing the case of
the boy who was removed from Marlborough College
and conveyed to his home by train before he had
recovered from the effects of scarlet fever, draws
attention to the Sanitary Act of 1866, under which
both the authorities of the College and the parents
of the boy would' be liable to punishment. It
would be as well if he could point out a way to put
such laws impartially in force. There are enough
Acts of Parliament in existence .to cure almost every
evil under the sun, but for all the practical use they
are, they might as well be fulminations from the
Vatican.

ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.

A complaint was made the other day that the sub-
scriptions could not be paid to St. George's Hospital
without a commission of 4 per cent. going through
the hands of the collector. The secretary now
expEins the matter. The collector is allowed 4 per
cent. on subscriptions (by which, we presume, he
means annual subscriptions), but not on legacies
and donations. lle h s frequently to call more
than once on some of the subscribers, amounting
to very nearly 1,200, who may not be at home;
and although a few subscriptions may not
actually be paid to him, yet the trouble is the
same ; and besides this, he has other duties connected
with the hospital to perform, for which he receives
no further remuneration: Last year the commission
was only paid on the subscriptions—£s,6lo- 2s.—
amounting to £224 3s. 5d., but nothing was paid on
other sums, nor on the donations to the building
fund. This places the matter in a better light than
it appears at first. It is well known that, however
willing people may be to put their names down for a
subscription, the extraction of the money requires
more skill than a surgical operation.
