ELECTION PETITIONS.

It seems probable that some of the newly-elected
M.P.'s will perform no other duty of their office than
taking the oath and paying their election bills. Par-
liament meets on February 14, and of the eleven
trials of petitions already fixed, all take place before
that clay. The royal borough leads off on January
12, and there Colonel Gardner (C;) petitions against
Mr. Rykin (L.) Norwich follows two days later, and
there Mr. Tillett (L.) is the petitioner against
Sir Henry Stracey (O.) In cases where both
sides petition, as at Bradford, where Mr.
Forster and Mr. Ripley have to undergo the ordeal,
the counter petitions are tried at the same time, or
at all events on the same day ; we suppose on the
same principle that cross summonses for assault
arising out of a quarrel are treated together.
The three Irish judges appointed to try petitions
are Mr. Justice Keogh, Mr. Justice O'Brien, and
Baron Fitzgerald, and they have met to complete
their arrangements. In Scotland there are only, we
believe, three petitions, those against Mr. Loch for
Wick, Mr. Grieve for Greenock, and the Lord-
Advocate. These will scarcely be beyond the capa-
city of Lord Jerviswoode.

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
railed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach."
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their op-imtion, safe under any cir-
zurnstances, and thousands of persons can now bear 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 is. lid., 2s. 93., and lls. each, .in

which have sprung up in consequence of the success of

rADvEnnsEmENT.l—Holloway's Pills.—Saved from Do

who has a proper regard for health that the most serious
diseases which can atlict mankind first manifest them-
selves by trifling signs, and it is the highest wisdom to
meet and subjugate the first disordered action wherever
and whenever it displays in the system. Holloway's
Pills will effect this without risk, pain, or other draw-
back. These well-known and universally appreciated
pills relieve the constitution from all difficulties, expel all
impediments to the natural action of any organ, and pre-
vent undue "wear and tear" to the system. By their
purifying power over the blood, the whole body is
refreshed, and each individual function properly
stimulated.

MEXICO.

In a letter to the Times "11. J. F." expresses his belief
that the young Republic of Mexico has sown its wild oats,
and is in a fair way of retrieving itself. The country is still
much infested by robbers, who sometimes commit revolt-
ing excesses, but, on the other hand, the insurrectionshave
all been put down, and public tranquillity has not been dis-
turbed of late. The Ministry is popular with the great
majority of the people, and it is impossible that the work
of government could be carried on more economically.
The Minister of Finance has lately declared that the
State is able not only to provide for the estimates of
'67 to '6B without exacting special contributions, but to
pay to the English Railway Company the annual subven-
tion of £126,000. If this is the case, the British bond-
holders need be under no fear of their claims remaining
unsatisfied. The Government is fully impressed with the
necessity of public improvements, especially railways.

The Libert4 does not confirm this cheering account. Its
advices report that matters in the Republic advance from
bad to worse. The Vera Cruz Railway is stopped, and the
insurrection, so far from being at an end, is rampant all
over the country.

PROSPECTS OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

If only the shareholders of the Sydenham
Palace Company were consulted as to its financial
prospects, they would probably declare these were
anything but bright, for the melancholy reason that
this year no dividends are to be paid. It is true
there is the sum of £lO,OOO clear profit after
paying ordinary expenses ; but experience must
have taught even the most sanguine of share-
holders by this time, that ordinary expenses ara
but a part only of the needful outlay on most under-
takings. Mr. Hughes, who acted as chairman of the
meeting of proprietors on Wednesday, told them
how happy he should have been to divide the sum
above stated, but that having to meet the claims of
the Dulwich Wood estate, the neat little amount
must go, and they would have to go without—an
announcement which elicited considerable signs
of dissatisfaction. During the past year the com-
pany has earned the gross sum of £137,000. Their
expenses have, however, been heavy—(they always
are in companies.) For taxes alone they had to pay
the enormous amount of £6,087. The Dulwich
estate, upon which it was estimated they would
require to lay out £40,000 in improv'ements, had

A detachment of the Coast Brigade of the Royal
Artillery is ordered to proceed from Woolwich to.
join the headquarters of the Ist Division of the
Depot Brigade. A party of non-commissioned
officers of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, has
been ordered to proceed to Woolwich for the pur-
pose of undergoing a course of instruction at the
Royal Arsenal.
INTERNAL REVENUE LAW.—The United States
Circuit Court for West Virginia, Chief Justice Chase pre-
siding, has recently decided that, under the Internal Re-
venue Law of 1864, receipts for freight on goods delivered
to a railway company for transportation are inland bills
of lading, and are not subject to a stamp duty. It was
further held that in the case of an employd of a railroad
company issuing unstamped papers contrary to law the
corporation should be indicted for an attempt to violate the
statute, and not the clerk.

The authors of " Miss Multon" have received an
unpleasant proof of their plagiarism, in a claim from Mr.
North Peat, the translator of Mrs. Wood's novel, and M.
lletzel, its publisher, to participate in the droits d'auteur. M.
Belot declares that he had no idea that the incidents fur-
nished to him by M. Nus were not original. The matter has
been referred to the Societe des Hommes de Lettres.

The Court of Common Pleas have refused an ap-
plication on the part of Sir Leopold M'Clintock to change
the venue of the trial of the Drogheda election petition to
Dublin. The ground of application was an allegation that,
owing to intimidation, witnesses for the petitioner would be
prevented from appearing at the trial la Drogheda. The
trial has been fixed for the 15th January.

A curious defence was set up by the London and
North-Western Railway in an action to recover damages for
personal injury tried at the Liverpool assizes on Wednesday.
The plaintiff, a labourer, swore that, early one morning,
ho was knocked down by a train as he was crossing
the line at Widnes station, and considerably hurt, and
his statement was corroborated by a friend, who carried
Lim home. None of the railway servants were seen at the
station: The defence was that no accident had occurred at
the point stated ; and that the story waa a fabrication in
order to obtain damages. The jury, however, believed the
plaiutiffi and gay/ him 4210 damage/.

MUSICAL GOSSlP.—Rubinstein, the pianist, is
creating great enthusiasm at Munich. A new opera, en-
titled " Ondinn," by Lortziog, has just been produced in
Paris. The violinist and composer, Alfred Holmes, who
is on a tour through Holland, is meeting with brilliant
success. Mr. Frederic Clay, the amateur composer of•some
slight theatrical music, is writing a new operetta for St.
George's Hall. A grand now Mass, written by M. Bour-
gault-Ducoudret, was performed at the Church of the Ma-
deline, Paris, on Christmas morning. The solos were
sung by the Baroness de Caters (daughter of Lablache),
and M. Faure, with telling effect. The composer has al-
ready carried of a prize from the Conservatoire at Rome,
and the music of this Mass is spoken highly of. A magni-
ficent silver tea and coffee service has just been presented
to Mr. J. J. Carrodus, of London, by the inhabitants of
Keighley, his native town.—Musical Manaard.

RIIPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED IN THE GREAT EXHIBI-
TIONS of 1851 and 18G2), is allowed by upwards of Two Hundred
Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective invention in the curs.
tive treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel spring, so often
hurtful in its effects, is hero avoided—a soft bandage being worn
round the body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by
the Moo-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease
and closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during
sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which
cannot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of the
body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the manufacture;
