THE REFORM. BILL.

Mr. SCHREIBER asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, with respect to the " inhabitant occupiers" of
parishes in which compounding acts are now in force,
but the whole or part of which it is proposed for the future
to include within the limits of Parliamentary boroughs,
from what time the personal liability of such occupiers to
the poor-rate will commence.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
first referred to was under the consideration of the Boun-
dary Commissioners; and with respect to the last in-
quiry, he thought the repeal of the Act in one parish
would entail a similar step in the other.
ABYSSINIA.

In reply to Mr. FAWCETT,
Sir S. NORTLICOTE said they had carefully avoided
any alliance with Egypt in the proceedings that it had
been found necessary to take in Abyssinia. It had been
necessary to ask for permission to pass supplies cc? Egypt,
but nothing more had been done. The Egyptian troops
had been recalled from Massowab, and the report
of their further advance appeared to him, according to the
latestinformation from Sir R. Napier, to be altogether
without foundation. He had no knowledge that great
want of water existed.

Mr. MAQUIRE asked whether the Government had
any information relative to King Theodore going to the
prisoners, as reported in the newspapers.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he had not.

THE CONTEMPLATED BOAT RACE BETWEEN

OXFORD AND CAMDRIDGE.
WITHDRAWAL OF CAMBRIDGE.

The gloom cast over the University of Cambridge by
the unhappy death of one of its most promising members
bas resulted in the withdrawal of the Cambridge Univer-
sity Boat Club from the usual race with the sister Unive-
sity this year. This will, of course, inflict consider-
able disappointment upon those who look forward to
the University race at Easter with feelings of the most
lively interest. The Hon. Mr. Gordon, who rowed No. 4
in last, year's crew, was to have taken his seat in the boat
on the day after tho calamity befol him, and the crew have
not only to lament his loss as their most proficient oars-
mg,n, but the general depression consequent upon his un-
timely end has determined the withdrawal from the race
this year, which we now formally announce.

PROVINCIAL BANKING.—At the annual meeticg
of the Stamford, Spalding, and Boston Banking Company,
a dividend and bonus amounting to 15 per cent. wore de-
clared. I was stated that there had been an increase in
the business of the bank; the reserve fund consists of
£53,000 Consols.
THE FIRE AT ANTWERP.—The fire which broke
out on Saturday at Antwerp was extinguished during the
evening ; two vessels, containing 208 barrels of petroleum,
were consumed by'the flames. The amount of the pro-
perty destroyed is estimated at 150,000 francs. The
whole of the loss is said to be insured, partly in Belgium
and partly in Dutch insurance companies.
DEIIOLITION IN THE ClTY.—Another of the old
landmarks, so many of which have of late been
destroyed to give place to modern improvements, is doonied
to immediate demolition. The Saracen's Head Hotel,
Skinner-street, Snow-hill, celebrated in the old carrier
and coaching days, was yesterday disposed of by auction
by instructions of the Improvement Committee of the City
of Loudon.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held on Saturday at the Kingsbridge terminus. Mr.
William Houghton, who occupied the chair, moved
the adoption of the report in a lengthened speech,
in which he gave numerous statistics to show the
prosperity of the company. The net surplus of the
revenue for the half-year was £104,976, out of wlich
the directors recommended a dividend at the rate
of 4f per cent. per annum to be paid to the pro-
prietors of the consolidated stock of the company,
and a similar dividend on the preferential stock
He spoke of the proposed purchase of railways by
Government, and expressed his firm belief that the
great benefits which were predicted by the promoters
of the movement would not be realised. Seine
shareholders also expressed themselves hostile to
the proposed purchase. The report was unanimously
adopted.

faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which piovokes frequent coughing. In approach-

deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

' ing the unconstitutionality of the laws they passed
than he had to issue an edict to the Supreme Court
charging its members with being derelict to. their
Constitutional obligations. Yet the President con-
templated resisting these Acts by force. He was
glad the President had abandoned this intention.
The moment the Executive sets up his will against
the supreme power, as vested in the Representatives
of the people, the Republic ceases, and a despotism
is erected. He held that 176 members of Congress
of equal ability with the President were as compe-
tent as the Executive to decide whether these Acts
were Constitutional. Mr. Thornton called up the
Cotton Bill, when Mr. Anthony said the duty on
Surat cotton amounted, when it was made into the
cloth, to about 1f cents per yard. It was feared
that the crop of domestic cotton would be very
seriously diminished during this year, and the abo-
lition of the duty on imported cotton was of pri-
mary importance, and he was therefore opposed
to any action which would jeopardise the pro-
vision inserted by the Senate. The request of
the House for a new Committee of Conference
was then agreed to, and after debate on the joint
resolution respecting spirit meters, ending in the
passage of the bill and its return to the House for
concurrence in amendments, the Senate adjourned.
Jan. 29.—The House Bill, providing for the sale
of ironclads, was discussed, and passed, with the
amendment recommended by the Committee on
Naval Affairs, excepting the ironclads Dictator,
Kalamazoo, Monadnock, and Passaic classes. Mr.
Buckalew followed Mr. Pomeroy, of l,ansas, in the
debate on the Supplemental Reconstruction Bill.
He had collected the votes in the States represented
in Congress at the last elections, including Brown-
low's Province of Tennessee, which showed
2,134,554 Republicans and 2,019,169 Democrats,
giving a Republican majority of 115,385. Accord-
ing to this the majority of the Senate ought to be
28 votes, and the minority 26. But what were the
facts? The minority had 10 members, the majority
43. Thus a small number of extreme Radicals,
through the mighty influence of the caucus and a
vigorous use of the party lash, controlled the legis-
lation and shaped the destinies of the country. It is
the same in the House of Representatives, where
the political majority has four members to one of
the Opposition. Why is it that 2,100,000 electors
have 43 votes in the Senate, and 2,000,000 electors
have but 10 ? It is on account of the great inequality
of population in some of the States. On Mr. Buck-
alew concluding an able argument in opposition to
the Bill, the Senate adjourned.

SUICIDE OF LORD DERBY'S VALET.-otl Thurs-
day last a distressing suicide was committed at Knowsley.
We understand that for some time past the second valet of
Lord Derby has been engaged to one of the female domes-
tics at the hall, and that a marriage between them had been
arranged, and was shortly to have taken place. Within the
last few weeks, however, the deoeased became impressed
with the delusion that he had been supplanted by anothe
n her affections, and this circumstance preyed much upon
hits mind. On Thursday afternoon he was found dead in
his room, having apparently committed self-destruction
by cutting his throat. An inquest was held on the body
at Knowsley, on Friday, when an open verdict was re-
turned. The deceased, who had been for some years'• in
his lordship's service, was much respected—Liverpool
Albion.

ARD' HOW SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, 1•4 Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
spring's, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals 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 ihat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

271 E PUBLIC HEALTH.

Tt appears, from the return published by authority of
the Registrar-General, that in the week that ended on
Saturday, February 22, 4,755 births and 2,955 deaths were
registered in London and in 13 other large towns of the
United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 24
per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality
last week was 22 per 1,000 in London, 25 in Edinburgh,
and 33 in Dublin ; 24 in Bristol, 21 in Birmingham, 28 in
Liverpool, 28 in Manchester, 26 in Salford, 21 in Sheffield,
23 in Leeds, 23 in Hull, 20 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and
28 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 33 per 1,000 during
the week ending the 15th inst., when the mean tempera-
ture was 3.5 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same
week in London, where the rate was 22. In London
the births of 1,159 boys and 1,156 girls, in all 2,315
children, were registered in the week. In the cor-
responding weeks of ten years, 1858-67, the average
number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,251.
The deaths registered in London during the week were
1,336. It was the eighth wkek of the year; and the
average number of deaths for that week is, with a correc-
tion for increase of population, 1,579. The deaths in the
present return are less by 244 than the estimated number.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.903 in. The barome-
trical reading increased from 30.27 in. at the beginning of
the week to 30.40 in. by 10 a.m. on Sunday, 17th February ;
decreased to 29.38 in. by noon on the 19th ; increased
to 30.02 in. by 9 a.m. on the 20th ; decreased to 29.78 in.
by 9 a.m. on the 21st ; increased to 29.83izi
by 9 p.m. on the same clay; decreased to 29.61 in. by.
noon on the 22nd ; and was 29.61 in. at the end of the
week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was
42.4 deg., which is 3.9 deg. above the average of the corre-
sponding week in fifty years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisher). The highest clay temperature was 55.2 deg. on
Friday, 21st February. The lowest night temperature
was 29.4 deg. on Sunday, 16th February. The entire
range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 25.8 deg.
The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the
Thames was 42.5 deg. ; that of the lowest was 41.2 deg.
The difference between the mean dew-point tem-
perature and air temperature was 5.6 deg. The mean
degree of humidity of the air was 81, complete saturation
being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0.16 in.
The general direction of the -wind was S.W. Ozone

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN.I-4 EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
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.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

THE HAPPY VALLEY.

The Times correspondent has found the Happy Valley,
or at least a valley that would hail! done duty admirably
as the Happy Valley of " Rasselas." "It is," he says, "by
far the prettiest place I have seen in Abyssinia. I speak
of the country, for the village of Goon-Goona is nothing
more than the usual unsightly, unromantic collection of
Abyssinian cabins, low, fiat-roofed, and mud-coloured, and
it would be indeed a vigorous imagination that could dis-
cover any resemblance between their dirty half-naked in-
mates and Johnson's Prince and Princess. But the place
itself is pretty enough for the prettiest princess that
ever graced a legend. After proceeding about ten
miles southwards from Senafti, and falling gradually
some 400 ft., the road winds round suddenly, and opens
upon a little valley so fertile and so completely encircled
and sheltered by a craggy coronet of mountains that it
looks like a 'banging garden' projecting just over the edge
of the earth, and as if any venturesome explorer who
scaled the lofty rocks surrounding it would find nothing
between him and the next planet but the sky, which
almost touches their summits with its arched canopy of
blue. A rivulet, here and there fringed with willows,
runs through the var,ey, watering grassy meadows covered
with cattle, and fields alternately green with barley and
golden with corn, the softness and varied beauty of the
scene being enhanced by its contrast with the bold masses
of mountain and naked rock which shut it in."
