WHITE'S Moe-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Idoc-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 can-
rot fail to fit, forwsrdel by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
J 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 coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons 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,

MARKE7 S-7 HIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.
Notwithstanding that only moderate supplies of Eng-
lish wheat were on sale here to-day, very little animation
prevailed in the demand for either red or white samples.
The attendance of millers was limited, and sales were
not without difficulty concluded at Monday's decline in
value.
Full average supplies of foreign wheat were on the
stands. The transactions were in retail, and about late
currencies. Floating cargoes of wheat were difficult to
sell. Maize and other descriptions of produce afloat com-
manded full prices.
Tho barley trade was firm, and for fine malting produce
as much as 52s per qr. was paid. Grinding and distilling
sorts were unaltered in value.
Malt, the supply of which was seasonably extensive,
changed hands to a fair extent on former terms.

In oats sales progressed steadily, and prices were sup-
ported.

Beans were firm and quite as dear.
Peas sold at late rates.
The flour trade was heavy, on former terms.
On the whole, the market for seeds, as well as cakes,
was steady.
London, England, 1868-10-14

MR. PURCHAS.

There may be two opinions on the Ritual contro-
versy ; there ought to be only one with regard to the
conduct of certain ultra-Ritualists. Having began
with the doctrine of the divine right of bishops, they
are now become so revolutionary as to set the
bishops at defiance. First of all they set at
naught their fatherly counsel, then they
despise their warning reproof, and they wind
up with openly daring their " Fathers in God,"
without wh om, as they declare, there can be no Church.
Here is Mr. Purchas, for instance, who, having been
inhibited by his diocesan from performing clerical
functions in the diocese of Chichester, tells the bishop
that he means to perform them next Sunday, and, if
the Times be correct, intends to have a more
extravagant ritual than ever. It is impossible to
justify such insubordination on any ground.
Even if Mr. Purchas believes he has the legal right
to mutilate the Church service at pleasure and
to invent new services of his own, he ought to
remember that he has taken a solemn vow to obey the
monitions of his bishop. The case is the more flagrant
because Dr. Gilbert is not a tyrannical bishop like
Dr. Lee, but has shewn the widest toleration towards
those of his clergy who love ornate services. ,There
is, clearly, a point beyond which the bishops cannot
allow their clergy to go, and that point is passed
when the clergy take upon themselves to set aside
the authorised Church services and to substitute
compilations of their own ; when, in fact, the clergy
ostentatiously declare themselves dissenters from the
Church in everything except the holding of Church
preferments.
London, England, 1868-10-14

THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE.

The annual meeting of the United Kingdom
Alliance has been more than usually successful. Two
notable adherents to the Alliance cause took part in
the proceedings—Archbishop Manning and Mk. Cal-
lender, chairman of the Conservative Election Com-
mittee in Manchester. Archbishop Manning has before
now taken much interest in the temperance question,
hut hitherto has declared himself unable to
go beyond moral suasion. He now announces that
the report of Mr. Abel Smith's select committee,
though adverse to legislation, has converted him by
its arguments to legislation. Mr. Callender s
adhesion proves that the Alliance party are so strong
in Manchester that it is absolutely necessary for
politicians of all parties to support the Permissive
Bill. The three Liberal candidates had already
declared themselves favourable to it.
London, England, 1868-10-14

AN OLD STORY RETOLD.

Our readers will remember that in December 1800;
when Mr. Bovill was made Chief Justice of the
Common Pleas, and Mr. Garth came forward as
Conservative candidate for the seat thus vacated at
Guildford, that gentleman made certain slanderous
charges against Mr. Bright. It was the fashion then
to abuse Mr. Bright, for the Conservatives had not
become converted to household suffrage, nor
had they learnt to " repose trust and confidence in
the working classes," as they now profess to do. But,
accustomed as Mr. Bright was to Conservative
slanders, Mr. Garth's tale was more than the member
for Birmingham could submit to. He called upon
the candidate for Guildford to prove his charge or to
retract it. The summons threw Mr. Garth and his
friends into dire confusion. They could not prove
their statement; they did not like to retract it.
Mr. Rogers, late Professor of Political Economy at
Oxford, has been making this little matter the text
of a sermon to the electors of Guildford, in which
borough there is to be a severe contest. Mr. Rogers
said that some time ago, when work was slack in
Rochdale, " Mr. Bright and his brother called together
their factory hands, and informed them that they
were only able to give them two days' work in each
week at the ordinary rates, and that the mills would
have to remain idle the remaining four days. It
was at the same time considerately proposed to the
men that they might if they chose draw four days'
wages for the two days' work during the slackness of -
business, provided they would promise to pay the
money thus advanced to them back as soon as they
became fully employed. The hands, of course, were
glad to agree to such a proposal. So much money
was really therefore lent to those men during the
time of the depression of trade. Mr. Bright had told
him that every one of those workmen, except one,
had since then paid every penny of the money
that was advanced to them. And this was the man
Mr. Garth dared to slander, and, when the slander
was made apparent, refused to apologise."
