IRnre.

The principal intelligence from the nortti-west frontier
has been anticipated by telegraph. The chief of the Swat
tribe was taking part with the British, and there was
every prospect of the Hussunzyes and Khan Kheyles being
effectually punished. The men of Swat displayed great
activity against the enemy, and were evidently bent upon
driving them out of the neighbourhood.
Other items of intelligence are of considerable interest.
Some disturbances on the Persian Gulf, caused by a
marauding chief of Bahrein, have been finally disposed of
by the British resident, Colonel Pelly, aided by:her Majesty's
ship Vigilant. The lawless chief is now an outlaw, his fort,
vessels, and ordnance have been destroyed, and the plun-
der which had been taken from British subjects has been
restored. Fenianism has made its appearance in India.
Mathew Keenan, a soldier of the 90th Light Infantry,
has received sentence of nearly two years' imprisonment
for using traitorous language respecting the Queen. The
unhappy shareholders of the Victoria Patent Brick Com-
pany of Bombay have been mulcted in a call of no less
than £7O per share. The Anglo-Indians have tabooed
refugees. Sir John Lawrence has decided that foreign
princes who take shelter in British India must be sup-
ported at the expense of the British Government.
The Times of India continues to write against the
appointment of Lord Mayo as Viceroy. Some of the other
papers, however, are adopting a conciliatory tone. As
the appointment has been made and there is now no help
for it, they ask that the new Governor-General should
have a trial. But the Times of India objects to filling
such an office upon speculation.
Most important of all are the accounts of the scarcity in
the north-west provinces. The distress in these districts is
very serious, though it hardly merits the terrible designa-
tion of famine. Natives are migrating in all directions,
vainly seeking plenty where scarcity everywhere prevailed.
A slight fall of rain had in some degree improved the prospect.
THE " ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE" THE VICEROY OF EGYPT.

A correspondent at Alexandria writes to prove that the
reported attempt upon the life of the Viceroy of Egypt
never took place. The testimony he accumulates is
undeniably formidable. The attack was first said to have
been made at Cairo, and then at Alexandria. But though
the date given was the 22nd of September, nothing was heard
of the affair until the Ist October. The streets were
densely crowded at the time, but nobody saw anything of
the murderous assault. The instrument said to have been
used, a spiked ball, was so clumsy that it could not,
except by the merest chance, have done more than inflict
a trifling wound. The writer thinks his Highness, the
consular body, the mercantile community, and Reuter's
agent were all the victims of a hoax. The strangest
fact is, that the prefect of police heard of the affair, and
went to examine the house from which the ball was thrown,
but was met at the entrance by two of his own men, who
refused him admittance. On remonstrating, he was
removed from his post and sent up the countryas Governor
of Esnch.

TUE POLITICS OF TUE CLERGY.

If the Conservative working man disturbs the
Liberals, the Liberal garson troubles the Tories. If
ever the Liberal party looked for the support of the
clergy, it was on an occasion when the Church was
assailed ; and now day after day we hear of important
defections. The Hon. and Rev.W. H. Lyttelton, rector
of Hagley, although he declines to join the Liberal
committee for East Worcestershire, promises to vote
for the Liberals. On former occasions he voted
on the principle of " men, not measures," but now
that a great qucstion is ahead he will vote on the
reverse principle. Nothing but very strong reasons
would induce him to vote for a leader who has done
so much to demoralise public men as Mr. Disraeli
has,even were his politics more to the reverend gentle-
man's liking. The Conser „dives have a set-off in
the Hon. and Rev. A. C. Talbot, who not only has put
his name on the Conservative committee for West
Staffordshire, but goes on the " stump." •

THE " TIMES" JUSTICE.

The leading journal has forgotten the homely
proverb as to the equal value of a condiment for both
sexes to the bird sacred to St. Michael. The Bishop
of Chester having given some hard raps to both those
parties in the Church who disregard her spirit and
formularies, our contemporary rejoices that the
Bishop has condemned the extreme Ritualists, and
at the same time laments that he has destroyed the
value of his reproof by extending his condemnation
to those who violate the spirit and the letter of the
Prayer-book by their omissions and modifications.
The Times finds an excuse for them in custom, and
has no doubt that if the Bishop were to remonstrate
with these offenders they would immediately amend
their ways. To put their disobedience into the same
category with naughty Ritualists is too bad. The
Bishop of Chester's care is to maintain discipline in
the Church, and to call back those who are going to
Geneva as well as Rome. Ile takes for his standard
the Prayer-book, not the Times ; and impartial
thinkers will hold, in direct opposition to that
bournal, that the Bishop's charge is valuable chiefly
ecause it deals out equal measure to all classes of
offenders, and places him out of the category of per-
secuting bishops.
THE CIIITECH ASSOCIATION.

It is not dignified to be twice snubbed. The
Church Association has put itself in this awkward
position, and thereby given its great enemy, Arch-
deacon Denison, the advantage. It will be in the
recollection of our readers that the secretary wrote
to the Archdeacon to the effect that if he would give
every facility and promote his own prosecution for
certain questionable sermons which were supposed
to be withdrawn from circulation, they would be
glad to help him. To this kind offer the Archdeacon
makes reply : "It is not true that the sermons
referred to m your letter of the 16th instant have
been I withdrawn from circulation.' For the rest, I
refer you to my letter of Sept. 22, 1868,. in which
say that I decline all further communication with

I ÜBLIC OPINION.

The Roman Catholic priest of Sale placed a wooden
cross in the centre of his garden in front of his resi-
dence. Upon this hung an enamelled iron figure of
the Saviour. The Protestants were wild, especially
as the priest did not heed the remonstrances of the'
press. "yublic opinion" rts called to the rescue,
and manifeLeti itself in defacing the crucifix. At
hat guapo. r \VAG used, and the image was removed
fc.)m the c2o2s, and probably deposited in a neigh-
brniring cnnal. They are strong,- Protestants at Sale,
but they hardly illustrate the Protestant principle of
religious liberty.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE,

TOWER EfAMLETS.-A proposition will, it is expected, be
made to bring about a coalition between Messrs. Ayrton and
Beales. If this wore done, their success would be looked
upon as certain.

CHELSEA.— it is stated that within the present week an
arrangement will be entered into between the three Liberal
candidates for Chelsea—Sir H. A. Hoare, Mr. Dilke, and
Mr. Odger— by which ono of the mei-liters can honourably
retire from the contest, leaving the Liberal interest in the
borough undivided.

GLOUCESTER.—A gentleman named Brennan offers himself
as a candidate against the silting Liberal members, Messrs.
Prico and Monk.

EAST SUIIItEY.-It is authoritatively ta&ed that Mr.
Locko King and Mr. Buxton will bo opposed by Mr. Hard-
man of the Temple, and Mr. James Ford.

SALISBURY.—Mr. Chapman, who was an unsuccessful
candidate at the last election, has consented to stand against
Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Marsh. The extreme Liberals have
formed an association in order to bring forward a Liberal
more advanced than Mr. Marsh, who was ono of the prin-
cipal Adullamites in 186 d.

NORTIIAMPTONSIIIRE (NORTH).— The Chancellor of the
Exchequer has issued an address to this constituency seek-
ing re-election. Mr. Sackville Stopford also solicits re-elec-
tion in conjunction with the right Lon. gentleman, and to
that end he, also, has issued his address.

BRIGHTON. —There being three Liberals in the field, Mr.
Henry Moor, who has already been returned onco in conse-
quence of divisions among his opponents, has issued an ad-
dress. He then Eat as a Conservative, but he will now vote
for the disestablishment of the Irish Church. A "genuine
Conservative" will, most likely bo brought out.

MIDDLESBOROUGI r. Tho mayorof tho town (Mr. Hopkins)

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251.220. per £1 sterling
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price
£3 hia. 10ad. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that
gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than
Paris.

DEATH OF MR. FREDERIC DICKeNS.--On
Friday morning the sod closed over the dust of Frederic
William Dickens, latest surviving brother of Mr.
Charles Dickens. Mr. Frederic Dickens—who has re-
sided at Darlington during the last twelve months—had
for three weeks before his death suffered from an abscess
in the lung. On Sunday and Monday last he was con-
siderably better, and no danger was feared. About half-
past three o'clock on Tuesday morning, however, he
became seriously ill, and died shortly after four o'clock.
The geniality—it was something more to those who could
see below the surface—of Mr. Dickens's nature, and his
ready fund of humour and anecdote, will not readily be
forgotten by those who knew him best, and liked him
best.—Darlington Times.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—A repetition of the success-
ful display of fireworks given on the 19th inst. takes place

Pagodas, nearly a hundred feet in height, and the great
Water Temples will be again illuminated with coloured
lights. The display will commence at seven o'clock, the
company's orchestral band and that of the Coldstream
Guards will play before, and the military band again
during and after, the fireworks. The building will be
lighted up for promenade until ten o'clock.

THE POLICE IN DISGRACE.

From a contemporary we gather a report that the
entire C division of the police has been ordered to
the East-end of London. The reason for this is a
supposed connivance of the police in the night-house.
evil at the West-end. Inquiries are said to have 4
been made under the direct authority and supervision',
of Sir Richard Mayne, and the results have been
very startling. The matter has been dealt'
with by an officer high in the confidence
of the Chief Commissioner • certain prosecutions,
it is said, will ensue, and a careful surveillance will be
maintained by the constables who take the places of
those removed. For a long time it was a cherished
theory that the policeman was immaculate and his
evidence unimpeachable. This fiction has been long
exploded. The man who goes about town with his
eyes open is obliged to confess that venality and
tyranny are two of the special vices of the force.
The sight of money will touch their tenderest sym-
pathies, the sight of poverty and suffering too often
excite their brutality.
THE POOR, THE POOR LAW, AND THE PUBLIC.

That very old subject, the administration of the
poor law, is again exciting attention. The opinion
is gaining ground that from beginning to end our
present system is a hopeless failure. But no one
suggests a really practicable plan to put in place
of it. It is admitted that the out-door relief
is in many cases too small ; that as an organi-
sation for supplementing the endeavours of
really working people it fails ; that it takes
away much of that sense of self-dependence
which constitutes manliness, and that it pro-
vides for and almost encourages the vicious and idle ;
that it feeds the criminal while he is out of prison
and in want of a job. But instead of trying to bring
our present system "up to the mark," and using
it as much as possible, societies are formed—
with terribly large working expenses—and by the
encouragement of indiscriminate charity make the
evil tenfold worse than it was before. The Rev.
John F. Ditto, the incumbent of one of the
metropolitan parishes, makes a proposal which
deserves attention, but which is by no means free
from objection. He suggests that the object of the
guardians' charity shall be narrowed to those living
on relief, who are paupers pure and simple, that
these shall not be allowed to receive relief other than
from the parish, and that the parish relief
shall be made sufficient for all wants.
He proposes to leave to private philanthropy all
others to be relieved. The obvious objection to this
plan is, that private philanthropists are not and
cannot be made responsible, and without responsi-
bility somewhere, any plan for the relief of the dis-

EXPLOSION OF A NAPHTHA LAMP.

Mr. Richards held an inquest at the London Hospital.
on Morday, touching the death of Jane Evans, aged 4
years. Jane Evans, the mother of the deceased, said that
on Friday, at six o'clock, a man named Robert Matthews
erttered her shop with a naphtha lamp in his h and. There was
a fire in the shop, and round it were seated the deceased,
her brother, and a sick baby. Matthews went to a shelf in the
elop, and took a can of naphtha off it, and he then went
to the fire, and while he was filling his lamp he let some of
the naphtha fall into the grate. There was an explosion at
once ; and the deceased, who was nearest the fire, had her
clothes set in a blaze. Matthews let the lamp and can fall
on the ground, and he did his best to extinguish the child's
burning clothing, but before he could do so she was burnt
all over the body. The child was then carried to the hos-
pital. Matthews was a friend of the family, but he had not
got leave to take the naphtha. The witness bad told him
on Friday not to take the naphtha. Robert Matthews,
having been formally cautioned by the coroner, said that
he had taken the naphtha off the shelf before. On Friday
Mr. Evans said, "If we have any to spare, you can take it."
When the explosion occurred, although he was severely burnt
about the legs, he did his best to put out the fire in which the
deceased was wrapped. Mr. W. Evans said that on Friday
he did not give Matthews leave to take the naphtha, but
he had done so on other occasions. Mr. E. B. Rutledge,
surgeon; said that the deceased died on Friday night. The
whole front of the child's body was burnt. The jury
returned a verdict of " Accidental death, caused by the
explosion of a naphtha lamp ; and they desire to rebuke
Robert Matthews for his want of caution in pouring out
naphtha near a fire where children were seated."

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly 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

PROSPECT OF AN INDIAN CAJIPAIGN.

Some of the Indian papers, seys a contemporary,
express great discontent concerning the lenity still shown
to that troublesome set of Mussulinan fanatics known as
the Wahabees. These men have never lost an opportunity
of stirring up some "little war" fir us, and they are
always foremost in fighting as they are in contriving plots.
The Friend of India now gives us to understand that a fresh
movement has succeeded the Irazara campaign. The Govern-
ment has received informaiion of a Mussulman conspiracy,
" having its ramifications spread all over Bengal north
and east of the Ganges, if not farther." All classes are
taking an active interest in the attempt to bring about the
re-establishment of a Mussulman empire. " For years
they have been contributing their means far this purpose.
A regular rate of taxation is laid down by the leaders, and
cheerfully accepted by the people." The Friend enters
into detailed statements of the method of taxation ; and
discloses circumstances which it is impossible to regard
a
without disquietude.
