MIDDLE-CLASS SCHOOLS.

The a Corporation " schools of the City of
London have proved miserable failures. No design
could have been more benevolent than to provide for
the clothing and education of a certain number of
boys. But clothes made in an old-fashioned pattern,
from an obsolete cloth, with education as obsolete
as the cloth, have made the schools rather
laughed at than otherwise. Only the highest educa-
tion and the superior advantages connected with
Christ's Hospital could have survived the yellow
stockings and long gown which the boys in connec-
tion with it have to wear. Happily, there are those
who see this in the City ; and schools are being
established by the educational corporations, which,
being of recent origin, will not offend the non-
historic by pressing on them memories of bygone
ages,

REGIMENTAL CANTEENS.

Some time back the officers at some of our garri-
son towns were complaining bitterly as to the ner
canteen arrangements. At Aldershot, for instancy,
they had been providing for the amusement of the
soldier from the surplus profits of the canteen.
This was to the soldier's manifest benefit, and it
harmed no one. Suddenly this arrangement was
upset,. and there was danger that the amusement
would be withdrawn, and the soldier would seek it
where it was less pure. The complaint having
been brought under the notice of the Duke of Cam-
bridge, he has reconsidered the new arrangement.
He has now ordered that all charges in connection
with the canteen should be paid from the profits,
that those over should be allowed to accumulate to
the amount of £5OO, £2OO, or -.C50, as the case may
be, and that then the surplus should be expended at
the discretion of the commanding officer, with the
sanction of the district commander, "in such a
manner as will enable the largest number of soldiers
to profit by its expenditure."

BERGEN-0,400k.

The strong fortress of Bergen-op-Zoom stands near the
mouth of the East Scheldt, a few miles from Antwerp.
In the campaign of 1814 an attempt was made by the
British, under Sir T. Graham, afterwards Lord Lynedoch,
to carry this stronghold, then in the hands of the French,
but after forcing an entrance their retreat was cut off,
and a dreadful slaughter followed. Nearly all were killed
or made prisoners. The fortifications of Bergen-op-Zoom
are now being demolished; sod the redoubt, where several
hundred Englishmen were buried by pitfuls containing
one hundred each, will soon be submitted to the spade and
pick. As the ground is very dry, and as the earth has not
been removed since the interment, it is expected that the
remains of these soldiers will be to a great extent pre-
served. They will be disinterred some time between this
and Saturday. Orders have been given to conduct with
all possible respect the displacement of the last of these
brave men.

The Italian merchant shipping is malclng great pro-

155,000; in 1867 this total had increased to 169,000.
During the same space of twelve months the number of

a total tonnage or 55,000. Figures of this kind are much
more trustworthy than any descriptions can be. In

EARTHQUAKES IN ENGLAND.

In Zadkiel's Almanac': for the present year 1868
—published, of course, towards the close of
1867 —on the page (19) for August, under
" Voice of the Stars," we read—" The singu-
lar event occurs on the 3d that Saturn
and Jupiter are both stationary." And, irnme-
mediately afterwards, we find added—" This will
doubtless produce earthquakes, which may be looked
for in all parts ruled by Aries and Sagittarius. These
are chiefly"—says Zadkiel (and observe what is the
very first name on the list !)—" England, Naples,
Syria, Spain, Hungary, and Arabia." Further
down that same page in the Almanac': for 1868,
published in 1867, Zadkiel goes on to sap—" when
the Sun forms a trine with Jupiter, shocks may be
looked for. If they take place in England they
will fall out chiefly in London"—(they were
felt, by the way, as near to London as
Blackheath and Weybridge Common !)—and in the
west and south-west parts of the country." A couple
of months after date, no doubt—but, for all that,
surely, rather a good hit, everything considered !

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
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 cougbs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persona 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 DIPLOMATIC DIFFICULTY IN PARAGUAY.

The conduct of Mr. Washburn, the American represen-
tative in Paraguay, has met with severe censure at Buenos
Ayres. Various foreigners had sought the protection of Mr.
Washburn when the Brazilian ironclads were ascending the
river; but Lopez demanded that they should be given up as
guilty of disobedience of his order to depopulate Asuncion.
This request the American Legate refused, and the foreigners
were therefore captured one by one as they left the Lega-
tion for any purpose. Mr. Washburn's desire to give them
protection was humane, but as it was not his intention to
remain in the country until the termination of the
war, he is thought to have acted very indiscreetly. The
imprisoned foreigners are now charged, not merely with
disobeying the orders of Lopez to evacuate the city, but
also with conspiracy, stealing money from the Paraguayan
Government, and other "crimes." The attempt to protect
them has, beyond doubt, complicated the difficulty. Mr.
Gould, the British Secretary of Legation, is now on the
Paraguayan riv r, and is said to be received in a very
friendly manner by Lopez Very probably he may do
something to effect the release of the prisoners. It would
also be very acceptable if he could furnish us with an
account of the true situation in that part of the world. The
task of discounting the Brazilian reports is becoming
hopeless.

THE POLICE.

The old cry " Where's the Police P" has, we are
told, degenerated into a sorry jest. Sir Robert Peel's
force has come to be laughed at for all practicable
purposes. They can pick up stray dogs and confis-
cate children's hoops. They can frighten miserable
starving women and pull the ears of the younger
Arabs, without providing food for the one or putting
the other in a home. But the " honest burglar" is
rather too much for them, and they "funk" him. For
this they are of course assailed ; but, as "A Chairman
of Quarter Sessions," writing to the Times, thinks,
rather unjustly. He lays the blame? not on the
police, but on the laws. He complains that "we
allow a man addicted to robbery or any other crime
to follow his trade as freely as any honest calling; we
afford him a fair field without interference ; only we
punish him if he is detected, and we seem to be surprised
that after he has undergone his punishment he returns
to his old trade, neither reformed nor deterred."
The policeman dares not touch him until he has
committed some act, and he takes care that the
policeman does not often see him at his work.
" Let all those who have proved themselves unmis-
takably to belong to the criminal class—i.e., by
having been three or four times convicted—be
sentenced to labour for life, not exactly in penal
servitude, but to work in some Government establish-
ment, under supervision, and only to receive a remis-
sion of sentence under the conditions of the license
of 1864, and we shall soon cease to have localities
inhabited by known thieves and ruffians."

WOMEN AND THEIR WORE.

No lady has been more energetic and more really
publicly useful than Miss Florence Nightingale.
Whatever she said on the subject of women's work
would be listened to with interest. But a letter to a
gentleman in New York, in reply to a request for her
autograph, photograph, and advice as to women's
work, is intrinsically valuable. With regard
to the photograph she says : " I do not wish
my name to remain, nor my likeness. That God
alone should be remembered, I wish." But she
gives good advice. She counsels all young ladies
who wish to follow a particular vocation to qualify
themselves for it, as a man would do. "If you are
called to man's work, do not exact a woman s
privileges—the privilege of inaccuracy, of weakness,
of muddleheads. . . . Look upon your work,
whether it be an accustomed or an unaccustomed
work, as upon a trust confided to you.'
London, England, 1868-11-05

A CLEVER SWINDLE.

Fairfax Robson, who said he was a commission agent,
was on Wednesday charged with fraud at the Liverpool
Police-court. Robson, it appeared, was in the habit of
loitering about the docks, and ascertaining from the
goods landed the names of consignees. He then wrote
to likely people, stating that certain goods had arrived,
and that on his receipt of the bill of lading and a stated
sum of money, they would be forwarded. In this way he
swindled a Mrs. Gordon, of Liverpool, of £2 168.,
the alleged freight of a-package from St. Thomas. He
was committed for trial. Another case, only partially
gone into, was more daring. The prisoner wrote to
the Rev. Bernard Moore, of Carns Lodge, near Lan-
caster, who was expecting a package of pictures from
Beyrout, informing him that the pictures had arrived,
and would be forwarded on receipt of the bill of
lading and £4 12s. Bd. Mr. Moore sent the money, but
did not get his pictures, which he subsequently found
detained in the Queen's Warehouse for the duty. The
real freight payable was only £2 7s. 51

RUMOURS.

The editorial room of the Church News must be
worse than the apartment of the spiritualist.
Rumours, mysterious and unnatural, are for ever
floating in the air. The spirits are always giving
the editor the benefit of some exclusive piece 'of
information. The worst of it is, the spirits tell such
tremendous fibs, and play such shabby tricks with
the readers of the News. Not long since a tale of
myth and moonshine came from Rome. It had
a brief existence ; caused some little stir ; and
then left nothing but " the baseless fabric of
vision." The last tale is that, "in consideration of
the precarious chance which Mr. Gladstone notoriously
has of being elected for South Lancashire, some of
the more extreme Liberals at Oxford contemplate
formally proposing him for the university in con-
junction with Sir R. Palmer. That proposal has been
strongly discountenanced, but is not unlikely to 1 e
carried out as a surprise. At least, so writes a well-
informed correspondent of position and dignity" If
these extreme Liberals, by any stretch of imagina-
tion, can suppose that Mr. Gladstone would stand
again for Oxford University they must be as credu-
lous as the " well-informed correspondent of position
of dignity," or, let us say, that spiritualist, the
editor of the Church Ne2cB himself.

THE LIBERAL CANDIDATES AND THE ELECTIONS.

The superfluous Liberal candidates are being
gradually weeded out. During the last few days
Mr. Quain has retired from London University,
leaving the field entirely in the hands of Mr. Lowe.
Mr. Odger has left Chelsea to Sir Henry Hoare
and Mr. Dilke ; Mr. Marsh, one of the most
prominent • Adullamites of 1866, seeing that
his past conduct has not been forgotten,
has suddenly thrown up the contest at Salisbury,
thus ensuring the success of Mr. Hamilton and
Dr. Lush ; Mr. Bristowe, who came forward for
Kidderminster, has retired in favour of Mr. Lea ;
and Dr. Prosser James, rather than divide the
Liberal party in the Edinburgh and St. Andrews
Universities, will do his utmost to return. Professor
Playfair.

TILE NEW MOUSE OF COMMONS AND NM KPAPERS.

The proprietors and editors of newspapers are
playing a prominent part in the elections. There is
Mr. Walter, proprietor of the Times, standing for
Berkshire; Mr. Russell, the Crimean historian of the
same journal, a candidate for Chelsea; Mr. Baines,
the proprietor of the Leeds Mercury, for Leeds; Mr.
Cowen, proprietor of the Newcastle Chronicle, for
Newcastle ; Dr. Sebastian Evans, editor of the Bir-
mingham Gazette, for Birmingham; and Sir John
Gray, proprietor of the Freeman's Journal, for Kil-
kenny. No newspaper, however, produces such a large
number of candidates as the Daily News, no less than
four different . places being wooed by the same
number of proprietors of this journal. These are
Chelsea, Hackney, Middlesex, and Bristol, where Sir
Henry Hoare, Mr. Charles Reed, Mr. Labouchere,
and Mr. Samuel Morley are standing in the Liberal
interest. Besides these gentlemen, one of the prin-
cipal leader-writers, Mr. Clayden, is seeking
the suffrages of the Nottingham electors. It
may also be mentioned that the working men's
candidate who has received such
.a castigation from
the Daily News is Mr. Hartwell, who first tried.
Lambeth, and, failing there, went down to Stoke-
upon-Trent.in opposition to the two Liberals already
in the field. Mr. Hartwell was formerly the printer
of that paper, but is now what is commonly called a
" penny-a-liner."

Thomas C. Durant, vice-president of the Union
Pacific Railroad, telegraphed to the President from
Salt Lake City that he had heard a special
sioner had been appointed to re-examine the road.
He strongly objects to this, unless all the roads re-
ceiving Government aid are to be re-examined also+
inn which case he acquiesces cheerfully, and professe°
the belief that the Union Pacific will compare
favourably with any of the others.
The corporation formerly known as the Cleveland,
Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad, have changed
their name to the Lake Shore Railroad Company.
RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY IN THE PA.
CIFIC STATES.—The San Jose Road extension to
Gilroy, 20 miles in length, will be completed, it is
promised, by December next. Tbis road is pros-
perous, and the country and towns through -which
It passes are iu a highly flourishing condition. Sub'
scriptions are being received for the building of a
railroad from Anaheim to Buenaventuras, in Los
Angeles county, a distance of nearly 50 miles. The
railroad from Vallejo to Sacramento is now corn'
pleted for 46 miles, to Davisville, which is withal
14 miles of Sacramento. The portion yet to be
built will be on piles, because the country is subject
to overflow in winter to depths of three to fifteml
feet. Several railroads are under active headway
in Napa, Solano and Marin counties. The com-
mencement of work on the junction road from liar'
risburg to Suscol, to connect the Napa valid
with the California Pacific Road, is announced
and a contract has been made for the construc-
tion of a road from Dansville to Woodland this
year. A contract has been made for grading tell
miles of the San Francisco and Humboldt pal
Railroad, eastward from Petaluma, before the 10
of December, but the Superintendent expresses the
belief that the entire distance to Santa Rosa, 16
miles, can be completed before that time. Arrange"
meats are being made to purchase forty miles ef
iron. The Stockton Gazette says that a paper 1°
being circulated among the citizens for subscrip-
tions to a railroad from Stockton to Paradise Valley;
It will be the first step toward opening up I'4
Tulare region, and will pay from the start. Tile
Colorado, Reese River, and Virginia City mines are
to be connected with the main continental road by
short branches. Fifteen miles of the road-bed °f
the Denver branch of the Pacific Railroad are OW
pleted, and the work progresses rapidly towards the
Platte. The commencement of actual work on the
Virginia City and Truckee Railroad has been de:
ferred, and is not likely to begin during the pre'
sent season.

open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.
The Society's Report (of which a contributor writes, "I
never read a report of any charitable institution which so
entirely commended itself to my mind and awoke my

THE SUNDAY LEAGUE.

Not all the blandishments of the Sunday League
could induce the candidates for Marylebone to attend
their late meeting. Mr. Chambers had other engage-
ments, but would have declined in any case ; Br.
Sandwith had a cold, though he was in favour of the
League ; Mr. Harvey Lewis was in favour of opening
_museums, &c., on the Sunday, but he could not
attend the meeting. The wary candidates, doubtless,
knew how the friends and the opponents of the
League were likely to comport themselves. The
meeting was a very noisy and disorderly
one, and it was not satisfactorily settled whether an
original motion in favour of opening educational
institutions on a Sunday, or an amendment, was
carried. The inevitable name of John Stuart Mill
was introduced, and the usual charge of atheism
made against him ; the secretary was accused of
having spit in the face of Lord Shaftesbury ; and
these pleasantries nearly degenerated into a fight.
The question is likely to remain a vexed one for some
time, and it will not be the fault of the publicans if
its discussion is allowed to grow tame. The licensed
victualler always " remembers the Sabbath day,"
and keeps so exactly its hours of divine service, that
the opening of the public-house door is as true an
indication of the progress of time as a sun-dial.
London, England, 1868-11-05

THE POLICE.

The old cry " Where's the Police P"- has, we are
told, degenerated into a sorry jest. Sir Robert Peel's
force has come to be laughed at for all practicable
purposes. They can pick up stray dogs and confis-
cate children's hoops. They can frighten miserable
starving women and pull the ears of the younger
Arabs, without providing food for the one or putting
the other in a home. But the " honest burglar" is
rather too much for them, and they "funk" him. For
this they are of course assailed ; but, as "A. Chairman
of Quarter Sessions," writing to the Times, thinks,
rather unjustly. He lays the blame? not on the
police, but on the laws. He complamS that "we
allow a man addicted to robbery or any other crime
to follow his trade as freely as any honest calling ; we
afford him a fair field without interference ; only we
punish him if he is detected, and we seem to be surprised
that after he has undergone his punishment he returns
to his old trade, neither reformed nor deterred."
The policeman dares not touch him until ho has
committed somo act, and lie takes care that the
policeman does not often see him at his work.
" Let all those who have proved themselves unmis-
takably to belong to the criminal class—i.e., by
having been three or four times convicted—be
sentenced to labour for life, not exactly in penal
servitude, but to work in some Government establish-
ment, under supervision, and only to receive a remis-
sion of sentence under the conditions of the license
of 1864, and we shall soon cease to have localities
inhabited by known thieves and ruffians."

UFORMATION FOR LIBEL.

In the Court of Queen's Bench, Mr. Dowdeswell applied
on behalf of Mr. Travis, stipendiary magistrate of Hull,
for a rule calling on Mr. Hunt, publisher of the Hull
Advertiser, and Mr. Spurr, solicitor, of that town, to shew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against them for libel. On the 12th September last Mr.
Spurr appeared before Mr. Travis, and applied for a sum-
mons for perjury against Mr. Egginton, a magistrate of the
borough, and a member of the firm of Messrs. Smith and
Co., bankers. At the conclusion of the application, Mr.
Travis thought he ought not to grant it, and suggested
that Mr. Spurr should renew it on a future day, and
put himself in the hands of an independent attorney, as
the transaction arose out of some litigation between the
bank and Mr. Spurr. On the 11th of September a
report of the ex parte statement appeared in the
Hull Advertiser, and on the following day a letter
appeared in that paper signed "Justice," regretting the
summons had not been granted, and speaking in favour of
Mr. Travis's well-known impartiality, and Mr. Egginton's
position and character. That letter was replied to by
Mr. Spurr in a following number, and in it he stated that
he was told by the officer at the police-court that
Mr. Travis had been sent for to the bank, and
was then there, and that as to Mr. Travis's well-known
impartiality, he (Spurr) had so much doubt that he had
written to the Secretary of State, giving him facts upon
which there seemed to him (Spurr) there ought to be an
inquiry as to Mr. Travis's refusal to grant the summons,
and that Mr. Travis's refusal would enable him to go to
London and have the case fully investigated, free from
personal influence. Mr. Travis publicly denied that lie
was sent for to go to the bank, ant explained what caused
him to go there ; and in his affidavit he stated that
he went to the bank to get a cheque changed and a
bill granted upon London, and immediately returned to
the police-court. There was not, he stated, the least
foundation for the insinuation contained in Mr. Spurr's
letter, that he had been influenced in his decision by going
to the bank ; and, further, it had been ascertained that no
letter had been received by the Secretary of State. There
were other affidavits denying Mr. Spurr's statement. All
Mr. Fp'irr was told v a: that Mr. Travis had gone to tl.•
b nk to change the cheque.—Rule granted.

MR. BUXTON.

The interminable discussion of the Eyre trOSecu-
tions has cropped up again as the elections approach.
Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe write to the London daily
papers to defend Mr. Buxton from some charges
which have been made against him for the purpose of
perilling his re-election as member for East Surrey.
They remind the public that Mr. Buxton retired from
the post of chairman of the Jamaica Committee
because he declined to be a party to the pro-
secution of Mr. Eyre for murder ; that the
committee have nothing to do-with the only pending
action against Mr. Eyre, brought forward by Mr.
Phillipo, and that Mr. Buxton has tried to procure
the abandonment of that action by offering to make
good the plaintiffs losses out of his own pocket. The
Jamaica Committee happened to -run counter to the
general opinion of the community in the prosecution
of Mr. Eyre, but, now that the matter is done with on
their part, the members which composed it should
not be considered any the less fit to be popular repre-
sentatives because they were so vigilant and so jealous
of what they, rightly or wrongly, conceived to be the
outraged liberties of an obscure and distant portion
of her Majesty's subjects.

A CLEVER SWLYDLE.

Fairfax Robson, who said he was a commission agent,
was on Wednesday charged with fraud at the Liverpool
Police-court. Robson, it appeared, was in the habit of
loitering about the docks, and ascertaining from the
goods landed the names of consignees. He then wrote
to likely people, stating that certain goods had arrived,
and that on his receipt of the bill of lading and a stated
sum of money, they would be forwarded. In this way he
swindled a Mrs. Gordon, of Liverpool, of £2 165.,
the alleged freight of a-package from St. Thomas. He
was committed for trial. Another case, only partially
gone into, was more daring. The prisoner wrote to
the Rev. Bernard Moore, of earns Lodge, near Lan-
caster, who was expecting a package of pictures from
Beyront, informing him that the pictures had arrived,
and would be forwarded on receipt of the bill of
lading and £4 12s. Bd. Mr. Moore sent the money, but
did not get his pictures, which he subsequently found
detained in the Queen's Warehouse for the duty. The
real freight payable was only £2 7s. sd.
