Sir,—Some months back I bad an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OP
ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I havo done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,

DAYBY V. WALMSLEY.

This action for libel was brought before Baron Pigott
and a special jury at the Court of Exchequer, on Monday,
by the proprietor of a newspaper called Sporting Opinion,
published in Fleet-street, against Mr. Paul Walmsley,
owner of a publication known as the Manchester Racing
Investigator, and which supplies tips to the racing world.
It appeared that up to a certain date Mr. Wahnsley's
circular was published on Saturdays at the price of Is., and
the plaintiff was in the habit of copying the tips into
Sporting Opinion, which came out at 2d. on Mondays. In
order, therefore, to baffle the plaintiff the defendant changed
his day of publication to Monday, but this did not avail
him, as the plaintiff then postponed the publication of
Sporting Opinion to Tuesday, and he oontinued to copy
from the defendant's circular during the whole of the racing
season of 1867. Then the plaintiff advertised a certain class
of lottery, in which the drawers of the "piling horses
and of starters were to have the proceeds divided amongst
them iu certain proportions, minus 10 per cent., which was
to be kept by the plaintiff to cover expenses. Under these
circumstances, the defendant inserted an advertisement in
the Sporting Life of the 18th of September last, announcing
his intention to alter the day of publication of his circular,
in order "to put a stop to that unprincipled lot of scoun-
drels connected with Sporting Opinion, who had not suffi-
cient brains to eke out a living for themselves, but who
' robbed the advertiser by selling his final selections, and
now advertised a shilling swindle." The last allusion was
in reference to the shilling lotteries. Subsequently the
defendant wrote to the plaintiff, threatening to expose his
swindling speculation, and designating him as an infernal
scoundrel and a notorious villain. Fur the language thus
used the plaintiff brought the present action.
Mr. Walmsley, the defendant, when put into the.wituess-
box, said that he had tried every means to stop the piracy
of his circular, but without success. Consequently he had
been drivels to publish the language since complained of.
He had never heard such lotteries as those advertised by
the plaintiff designated in the sporting world otherwise
than as swindles.

Mr. Baron Pigott left it to the jury to say whether the
defamatory language complained of was justifiable under
the circumstances—a question which, after a short delibe-
ration; they answered in the affirmative, and therefore the
verdict was ordered to be entered for the defendant. But,
at the same time, in obedience to a direction of the learned
judge, they assessed the damages cOntingently oA certAin
of the pled M vue litEthiAg.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF A GAS CO3IPANY.—At Guild
hall, the Chartered Gas Company was charged with
having caused a pavement in Wood street to be taken up,
for executing certain works, and not placing such watch-
men and lanterns as were necessary for the prevention
of accidents. Alderman Cotton's carriage driving down the
street went nearly into the hole, and it was stated that there
were no lights or men to warn persons of the danger. It
was shewn, however, that watchmen were placed there,
and that one of them had attempted to stop the carriage ;
and, further, that the light had gone out accidentally;
upon which the summons was dismissed,

A SUBJECT FOR A REFORSIATORY.--.4.t the Thames
Police-court, Walter Paliman, who said he had just
turned 11
and was going on for 12, was brought before
Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a half-crown from his
gave evidence against hereon,
parents. The boy's mother
She was the wife of a dock labourer, and they had home
difficulty in keeping themselves and children from starving.
The prisoner was a very wicked boy and had often robbedhis
parents. The last piece of money- they possessed was a
half-crown, which the boy abstracted from a box, bought
some hardbake, and went to a theatre, where he was found
last night enjoying a pantomime, and distributing his
sweetmeats among his juvenile companions. His enjoy-
ment was suddenly arrested by the firm grip of a police-
constable, who exclaimed, " I want you, young fellowo
for robbing your mother." The case was fully made out
against the prisoner, who-promised not to repeat his offence.
—Mr. Benson would :take care that the prisoner should
not have the opportunity of robbing his parents again for
a very long time. The prisoner was a very wicked boy,
and must not be suffered to be at large. He sentenced
him to five years' detention in a reformatory school. His
parents would have to contribute towards his maintenance
and instruction in honest pursuits.

THE IRISH CHURCH AND ITS ANOMALIES,

The Freeman publishes the fourteenth report from " Our
Church Commissioners." It deals with the united dioceses
of Limerick and Ardfert and Aghadoe. The report, says
our contemporary, developer some peculiar features con-
nected with the " conversion " to' Anglicanism of the
population of these dioceses. The " conversion" was not
effected by bishops, by parsons, by curates, by cate-
chists, or by readers, but by a general officer at
the head of a large army, who adopted the rapid
and simple process of calling before him those whom
he desired to " convert," and ordering them to
take the oath of conversion, or the consequence of " high
treason." The quaint matter-of-fact manner in which
this military chief reports to the new Head of the Church
the off-hand mode in which he thus converted "mayors,"
aldermen, common councillors, and through them the com-
monalty, is characteristic of the man and of the times,
and throws instructive light on the history of Anglicanism
In Ireland. The results of "su h" an evangelising
Process are told in the fearful struggles that followed,
and filled to the brim the bitter cup this country
had to drain to its very dregs. They arc told in the utter
failure of the Anglican Church in the whole district re-
ported on. In the United Diocesan District there are
twenty-two parishes in which there is not one Anglican.
There are sixty-eight parishes in which the gross Anglican
population, if equally distributed, would give an average of
one family to each parish. The twenty-two parishes in
which there r not on:, Anglican are so large as to their area
that they contain a Catholic population greater than the
whole Anglican -0. ,L.ulation of the united dioceses of Limerick
and Ardfixt and AL;hadoc. The sixty-eight parishes, which
contain an averags of one Anglican family per parish,
contain a Catholic population five times larger than the
entire Anglican population of the united dioceses. A.
group of benefices which represent one-third of the paro-
chial revenue of the united dioceses present, as the cost of
the spiritual instruction 'of the Anglican population, an
annual expenditure ranging from £2O per Anglican familyi
in the least costly to £163 in the most costly, and repre-
sent an a :erage of £46 per family in the group of parishes,
which represent one-third of the whole parochial tithes of
the united dioceses. - - -- -

tion last April, when 3,000 of our fellow-citizens were car-
ried off, was the panic so great as it has been here for the
last ten days. Business may be said to be at a complete
standstill ; half the population has fled, the streets are no
longer crowded, and at night the lurid flames of 10,000
fires, lighted for the purpose of fumigation, give a lugu-
triosu appearance to this city, once the most famed for its
salubrity. Nevertheless, the town corporation, or munici-
pality, with their characteristic indolence, took no ade-
quate steps, no measures, to clean the city or make the
slightest headway against the epidemic ; funerals in every
street, sickness in every square, and coffins carried about
even in furniture vans ; at the public cemetery coffins piled
nigh, waiting for interment, not even hands sufficient to
Jig graves ; the refuse from the houses lying in boxes
before the door until a late hoar ; depravity, neglect,
and crime, nothing short of wholesale murder, had reached
its climax. The people of Buenos • Ayres rose, held an
indignation meeting in the Plaza, passed resolutions de-
manding the instant and absolute resignation of the whole
municipal board ; the municipality refused, the people
rushed up to the building, determined to enforce their re- '
solutions, and the board, finding they could no longer trifle
