men have
been manufactured, and at last we have a practical
solution of the problem. In
.order to swell the num-
bers voting for the Conservative candidates at the next
election for Bolton, a " Conservative Operative Sick
and Burial Association" has been formed, the members
of which are bound to vote for the Tory party, as
witness Rule 12 : "If any member of this associa-
tion, who entertains opinions, publicly speaks, or
votes at a borough, municipal,_ or other election,
contrary to the principles of Conservatism ' • and if
such opinion, speech, or vote be proved by the
branch to which he belongs to be conscientious,
or wilfully done, such member will be reported to
the executive, and dealt with as they may see fit."
Supposing any delinquent be found guilty, "the com-
mittee shall have power to fine, suspend, or expel him,
as may seem most judicious, and the decision of such
committee shall be final and conclusive." This, then,
is how Conservative working men are manufactured.
As Mr. Samuel Pope has ably pointed out, it was not
done by convincing their judgment, but by inducing
them by the hope of future benefit to enter an asso-
ciation, and, having got hold of their pockets, to
secure them by the power of money. Are such prac-
tices " Constitutional ?"

LOST YOUTII

Oh, when did poet-dreams
Ever shape forth such fairy laud as youth!
Gossamer hopes, parlod with the dews of morn,
Gay valour, bounding light on welcome peril—
Errors themselves, the sparkling overflew,
Of life as heallon2;, but as pure as streams
That rush from sunniest hill-tops kissing heaven—
Lo ! ti tat is youth. Look on my sou!, old man,
Well—is it not more grey than those blanched hairs ?

TRUER THAN-THE DIAL TO TILE SUN.
The dial needs the sun ;
But love reflects the image of the loved,
The' every beam be absent!

NATURE'S BLESSINGS.
Fortune stints gold to some ; impartial Nature
Shames her in proffering more than gold to all—
Joy in the sunshine, beauty on the earth,
And love reflected in the glass of conscience;
Are theso so moan ? Place grief and guilt beside them,
Decked in a sultan's splendour, and compare !
The world's most royal heritage is his
Who most enjoys, most loves, and most forgives.

MILITARY NUMMI.

A'--contemporary contains the following: = " Sir
John Pakington has expressed his intention of supplying
military hospitals with the most perfect system
of female nursing, and arrangements have been made
with the Nightingale Committee for the education, at St.
Thomas's Hospital, of a certain number of nurses
specially with this object. After many remonstrances
on the part of the military authorities at Woolwich,
Sir John Pakington has consented to change the system
of treating the sick in the Herbert Hospital. From the
Ist of November the regimental plan of work will com-
mence, and each medical officer will assume the charge of the
sick men of his own battery or brigade. It is not intended
at present to interfere with the general organisation of the
hospital under the governor, although doubtless many
alterations will be necessary before a satisfactory com-
bination of regimental and general systems can be ob-
tained."

FORGERY.

Ed ward Way, a gentlemanly young man, pleaded
guilty to a charge of forging a bill of exchange for
£278.

The prisoner had, up to the time of the forgery,
occupied a responsible situation iu a merchant's
office in that city, but, yielding to tempta-
tion be committed the forgery, then married
a young lady, in iguorance of what he had done,
and both quitted England and went to Austria,
where he commenced business as a wine merchant.
The young lady, who bad married the prisoner un-
known to her friends, communicated with her pa-
rents, and finally returned to England, to which
country the prisoner followed her, and then gave
himself up.
The Common Sergeant said he would consider
the case before he passed sentence.

711 E DOULTON TRIAL.

BRUSSELS, Thursday, 10.50 a.m.
The Tribunal Correctional has given judgment in
the affaire Doulton. The Court decides that the
acts imputed to the accused do not come within the
articles of the New Penal Code of Belgium, and
therefore it discharges him from the process.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

FORGING FOREIGN BILL STAMPS.

An elderly man named Monk was indicted for
fraudulently transposing and forging a quantity of
foreign bill stamps.
It will be recollected the prisoner was one of the
persons implicated in the extensive system of frauds
which had been perpetrated by cutting the
cedtre medallion from penny foreign bill
stamps, and placing over the cancel mark
on certain foreign bill-stamps, varying in value
from ss. to 205., thus giving them the appearance
of new or unused stamps.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
Sentence deferred.
Henry Jackson was also found guilty of utter-
ing stamps for the same fraudulent description.
Sentence in this case was also postponed.

THE WMI IN SOUTH AMERICA.

The army of Lopez is now becoming disorganised. It
is estimated to comprise only about 6,000 able-bodied men,
hut the movements of this force are hampered by a
large number of old men, women, and children. The
accounts from the seat of war—which, however, all come
by way of Brazil—represent the Paragt ayan Dictator as
incapable of making any effectual resistance.
It appears that of all the foreigners resident in Para-
guay, only one, a French musician, was at liberty when Mr.
Washburn, the American Minister, left. Two members of
the American Legation had been seized and detained. M.
Liberta, Chancellor of the French Consulate, had been
thrown into prison on a charge of complicity in the recent
revolt against Lopez. Besides these, about one hundred
Italians, fifty French, and several English, including an
engineer and two physicians, bad been placed under
restraint. The cause of these arrests was, in the first
place, an order from Lopez that all foreigners should leave
Asuncion, which Mr. Washburn, in his diplomatic capa-
city, refused to obey ; and, next, the presumption that
some of the foreign residents had stolen money from the
Government.

A SCHOOL FOR ARTILLERY.

Some remarks made a short time since by the
Commander-in-Chief will, it is to be hoped, lead to
an alteration- of some of our " showy " practices.
None of these is more absurd than the way in which
the artilhry are trained. In order that they
may learn to use the big gun and become
acquainted thoroughly with their duties in battle,
they are taught to be good infantry men. Indeed, so
essential is it thought to be that they should know
something of the noise made by the cannon, that
garrison batteries have in some cases been divided
into sections, provided with carbines, and ordered to
fire these in volleys to represent the guns.
At least so it is stated. Since our large
guns have become so important, it is certainly
only right that the men should be thoroughly taught
the use of them; and though it may be useful for
them to know something of the carbine and of
infantry drill, yet their work is with the cannon, and
they should be taught that before everything else.

FOREIGN NOTES.

MR. MILL ON AMERICAN FINANCE.

A long letter' from Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., appears in the
New York Nation. The member for',Vestminster earnestly
advocates•the redemption of the American bonds in gold.
He shews that the argument founded upon greenbacks
being the legal tender of the United States, and that the
bondholder ought to have exceptional privileges, is worth-
less. All persons except the public creditor have the
remedy in their own hands. They can demand a higher
price both for goods and labour to compensate deprecia-
tion ; but the price paid to the bondholder is fixed. Mr.
Mill believes there is little danger that the immoral course
will be adopted.

THE OUTBREAK IN NEW ZEALAND,

Following are some details of the disastrous engagerubm
which took place between the Maoris and the first British
expedition sent out to recapture the escaped prisoners :
" Encouraged by the freshness of the trail, Colonel Whit-
more lost sight of every other consideration in the hope
of getting up with the enemy. 11l supplied with stores,
absolutely ignorant of whither he was going, under-
valuing the skill and courage of the enemy, dis-
dainful of the most ordinary precautions, he pushed
recklessly on. Fagged and half starved as the men were,
they renewed their vigour upon sight of the camp fires in
the Ruaki Turi. A few of their number were seen by our
force scattered about the island, and a rapid advance was
made to attack them. As our people neared they com-
menced firing ; not with much vigour at first, but rapidly
increasing in power as their force collected. Our men had
to cross the river bed in the open, exposed to this treat-
ment, and replying with what effect they could. As our
party drew into the western bank the enemy mounted
the Rakaiwhaia hill, outflanking and pouring a deadly
fire into our people. Captain Carr fell; Mr. Davis Can-
ning, two troopers named Patrick Condon and William
Coates, and a friendly native, Behira, were shot dead. Six
others wounded, amongst them 'Captain Arthur Tuke,
who was shot through the arm—the bullet glancing off a
cock and inflicting a painful bruised flesh-wound, not
injuring the bone. Another bullet passed through his
clothes. Sharp work this. Poor Canning handed his
carbine to Barney Reed, as he fell pierced by two bullets.
Captain Carr's weapons and haversack, with his body,
became the possession of the enemy. Mr. Withers, of the
constabulary, behaved with great gallantry, assisting in
carrying off the wounded ; indeed all behaved well, and
the pity is that their courage should have been so thrown
away."

The papers laid on the Rouse of Representatives' table
give the following curious particulars in reference to
the escape of these prisoners :—" The plans were laid
with such skill that Captain Thomas, according to
the report, could hardly have offered anything like
effectual resistance. Instead of 31 stand of arms there
were 49 stand of arms taken away, and £5OO in cash, and
as much flour, sugar, and tobacco as they chose to remove
from the Rifleman. Besides these, they robbed all the
houses on the beach, with the exception of that of one
lady who hid a bag of sovereigns (2300) in a tea-kettle,
while boiling over the fire. The number of prisoners
escaped was 163 men, 64 women, and 71 children,
being 298 souls. The quantity of ammunition taken
was 4,534 rounds. 31b. of powder was taken from pri-
vate stores."

THE HOME SECRETARY IN EARNEST.

Earnestness in politics is commendable, especially
as it is rare in some very notable cases. The Home
Secretary is an earnest man, but carries his zeal a
little too far. He attended a meeting at Rye on
behalf of his son's candidature, and at the close of
a long speech, amidst thunders of applausei is
reported to have said: "Be deterred by no intuni-
dation, be corrupted by no inducement, but give
your votes honestly and conscientiously, so that
when you lay your heads on your dying pillow
you may say, did my duty at a great
and vital crisis in the face of my country and
my God !' " Mr. Hardy must have taken his cue
from the dying manifesto of Dr. Cooke, the Presby-
terian minister of Belfast. Let us hope that when
the dread summons comes to us all, we may have
some better recollections of our past life to console
us than the thought that we have "voted straight,"
and that the wretched machinery of party strife may
not obscure a clearer view of those great ends for
which it is. to be hoped we all strive.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEEtill, -fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They goAterfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals 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 that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE RELIGIONS OF CRMINALS.

The Rev. W: Caine, chaplain of the New /awl,
Manchester, has collected the biographies of 1,500
prisoners. Some of the facts are very interesting.
Ile gives the religions of these prisoners. He
says that, of a thousand prisoners, 502 belonged
to the " United Church of England and Ireland,"
347 were Roman Catholics, 100 Methodists,
and five Presbyterians. The Jews are rather
a numerous section of our population, and yet
there, was only one prisoner of that " persuasion,"
while the Swedenborgians;who cannot be very pro-
lific here, contributed two. Perhaps a fact of greater
specific gravity is bound up in the statement that of
the 049 Protestants, 593 had attended Sunday-
schools, upon an average, six or seven years each.
It must be remembered that a prisoner without a
religion has one found for him. He is pitchforked
into the " United Church of England and Ireland,"
without any preliminary instruction in the Catechism
or examination in the Thirty-nine Articles.

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.

Recent proceedings in the Austrian Reichsrath are of
the g7eatest importance. The Government does not
believe in disarmament, and the representatives of the
people are apparently of the same opinion. TLe
military committee has resolved to maintain the
army on a war footing of 800,000, secret reasons
for this large force being confided to the com-
mittee by Baron Belist. An attempt was made to reduce
the number to 600,000, but this insignificant contingent
was evidently below the mark. The Polish deputies all
voted against the proposal.
Baron Beust, who is clearly the most outspoken states-
man in Europe, has openly recognised the possibility of
war between Prussia and France. His speech in general
amounted to this : that Austria was striving to be friendly.
with all the European States, but that all the European
States were unfriendly with each other. Hisremark, that
" Italy has not always complete freedom of action," will
not be recived very amicably at Florence. The Bourse has
been very firm lately ; in fact, Rentes have got above 70 ;
but we may reasonably expect another collapse after this
manifesto.

Everything calculated to spread uneasiness will
therefore be discarded from the discussion, as the
public mind is at the present moment quite made
up that all the requisite conditions exist in Europe
to insure peace and tranquillity.

THE CHURCH IN JAMAICA.

The Bishop of Kingston, Jamaica, has arrived in
England on a mission to the Colonial Office. Next
year the law which provides for the maintenance of
the Established Church in Jamaica expires by
effluxion of time. Great anxiety is said to be felt
amongst the Churchmen of the island at the rospect
of this.sisaMe,AndlM_Yigit o.the

Lana is ror tne purpose or saving the Estabffshment
from entire deprivation of State aid. But, however
much the change may be feared by the shepherds,
the mere prospect of it has been of immense benefit
to their flock. There can be no doubt that the
expectation of being left to its own resources has
developed an amount of latent energy in the Colonial
Church which would hardly have been shewn under
the security of a fixed income. As the Jamaica
Guardian says : " The very fear of such a crisis in
the history of the Church in Jamaica has produced
revolutions in this body; she has suddenly sprung
into life, become missionary and active in her opera-
tions—such an amount of energy and earnestness
has never been known in the Church before, and it
is the responsibility of self-support that has produced
this wondrous change in her constitution."

UNDUE INFLUENCE.

Mr. Hughes. Brookes, a gentleman of independent
means, residing at Winshill, near Burton-on-Trent,
has been committed for trial by the South Derbyshire
magistrates on the charge of intimidating a voter by
means of a threatening letter. The defendant, who
was formerly a druggist at Burton, lent the com-
plainant, a shoemaker and shopkeeper at Stanton,
£lBO on a mortgage of freehold property worth £4OO.
Complainant voted for the Liberal candidates
(Messrs. Evans and Colvile) at the last election.
Last July he received a letter from Mr. Brookes;
requesting Mm to promise his vote for the Conserva-
tive party. Gorge Thornley, the complainant,
refused. Brookes wrote again, and the point of. his
letter was this : "If you persist in your intention of
voting for Popery, you must excuse my stating that
I intend to remove my money from your I roperty,
and place it where it can assist Conservatism and
Protestantism, and therefore request that within
fourteen days you will Pay to me about £8 165.,
being the amount of interest due; and also, as it will
whether you have be needful
to offer tyhe property for sale by auction,
choice as to the auctioneer."
Mr. Brookes should have remembered the proverb,
a
" Litera scripta manet." As it is, he will have to
take his trial under the recent Act. It is noteworthy
that the bench was divided, the chairman giving his
casting vote in favour of the :committal. Mr. Brookes
will probably have the distinguished honour of
serving as an instructive example, and it is to be
hoped one such example will be sufficient. It
will, not, however, be the fault of the Liberals of
Plymouth if they do not discover another.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—EIIen Dillon, a pale
faced Irishwoman, who has frequently been charged
at this court with drunkenness and disorderly con.
duct, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
savagely assaulting Mary Shean, who presented
herself in court with an ugly surgical patch on her
forehead.

The prisoner has been for some time in the receipt
of parochial relief, from the Poplar Union. She
received her money on Wednesday, got drunk, and
quarrelled with several persons. Meeting the
complainant, a poor old decrepit woman, also
a native of Ireland, she commenced abusing her,
and a fearful scene of riot and disorder took
place. Mrs. Dillon armed herself with a
poker, and struck Mrs. Sheen a terrible blow on
the head,inflicting a severe wound. She fell, and
lost a large quantity of blood before her head was
dressed.

Inspector Smith, of the K division, said that the
prisoner made so much noise, and was guilty of so
much violence in the station-house, that he was
obliged to lock her up while he entered the charge
on a police sheet. She was in custody a fortnight
ago for being drunk and disorderly.
The prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Sheen
called her a very bad name.
Another witness said that the prisoner made a
blow at her with the poker.
The Prisoner—lt was the drops of drink.
Mr. Paget—The bottom of everything wrong.
Ia this case it appears you were receiving parish
relief, and got drunk with the money. It is a most
scandalous malappropriation of the money of the
ratepayers, and the relieving officers will no doubt
make the proper inquiries, and prevent a repetition
of this. You are sentenced to a mouth's imprison..
ment and hard labour.

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.

Rdcent proceedings in the Austrian Reichsrath are of
the greatest importance. The Government does not
believe in disarmament, and the representatives of the
people are apparently of the same opinion. The
military committee has resolved to maintain the
army on a war footing of 800,000, secret reasons
for this large force being confided to the com-
mittee by Baron Beust. An attempt was made to reduce
the number to 600,000, but this insignificant contingent
was evidently below the mark. The Polish deputies all
voted against the proposal.
Baron Beust, who is clearly the most outspoken states-
man in Europe, has openly recognised the possibility of
war between Prussia and France. His speech in general
amounted to this : that Austria was striving to be friendly
with all the European States, but that all the European
States were unfriendly with each other. Hisremark, that
" Italy has not always complete freedom of action," will
not be recived very amicably at Florence. The Bourse has
been very firm lately ; in fact, Renter have got above 70 ;
but we may reasonably expect another collapse after this
manifesto:

GALLANT CAPTURE OF,A PAIL

A messenger arrived at Wellington'on the 24th August
with the intelligence that the pah of Te-Ngutu-o-to-Manu
had been captured on Friday, the 21st. The following
are the particulars :—" Two hundred and seventy men,
in two divisions, under the command of Colonel
M`Donnell, started for the pah at seven a.m. Major
Von Tempsky led the armed constabulary and Taranaki
volunteers. „Buck's and Page's companies composed the
attacking Agee. There were no native allies engaged. The
pah was reached at ten a.m., the force thus taking only
three hours to thread their way through the bush from
Waihi, the base of operations, a distance of twelve miles.
Maori scouts were on the alert, and preparations had been
made to give our forces a warm reception. When within
twenty paces of the parapet, our troops poured in
a galling fire, and then rushed helter-skelter for
the pah, escaladed the breastwork, and gained a foot-
ing inside—one-half fairly establishing themselves
within the defences in a few minutes. The first man
killed was-Wallace, who was shot through the head, and
died on the spot. The Maories fought bravely, but could
not stand against our men, who, armed with tomahawks,
revolvers, and long knives, made short work of it. The
whole attack lasted only twenty minutes, and in one hour
from its commencement not a vestige of the pah could be
seen. The Maories effected a good retreat, after nine
of them had fallen, and were able to carry off their
wounded. Three of our men were killed and eight
wounded—one of whom, H. Geary, has since died. The
killed are It. Wallace, Kerr, and Mackay. They were
attended by Dr. Walker on the field. At half-past eleven
o'clock Colonel M`Donnell commenced to march back,
when he found the enemy had concentrated on his rear,
and were keeping up a desultory fire. The fire was
returned, and ultimately the Maories retreated and allowed
our troops to retreat without further molestation.
M`Donnell arrived at Patea at midnight. The behaviour
of the force, both officers and men, was excellent"

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

SPAIN.

Diplomatic relations with Spain are being renewed by
all the principal Governments of Europe. The intelli-
gence that Prussia and Italy have opened communications
with the Provisional Government is confirmed by the
Ztfoniteur. The Papal Nuncio also has " accepted the
position." The Ambassadors of England and France and
the Portuguese Minister have been in communication
with the Secretary of State since the 23rd inst.
The refusal of King Ferdinand of Portugal to accept the
Spanish crown in case it is offered to him is further con-
firmed by the Times correspondent. When the matter
was first mooted, the bird-fancying prince is said to have
remarked " I am not so foolish."

The clergy seem disposed to take advantage of
universal' suffrage to make another effort on behalf of
their privileges. One priest addressed his flock during
mass, exhorting them to defend their religion and support
the " charitable Queen Isabella of Bourbon."
Many indications help to prove that the Revolution
changed not only the Government, but everything else in
Spain. At the great meeting in favour of the abolition
of slavery, ladies took part in the proceedings; an occurrence
hitherto unknown in the Peninsula.
