LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC- BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the bead, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold,' confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pi ovokes 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,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 1311, and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiviug strength
to the voice.

You aro at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-

I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-

Sir,—Some months back I had au attack of Bronchitis,
which lert at times. a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. - I was advised to try the BALSAM or
ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very.great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, audgiviug strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-

I have doue.—With many thank: from your obedient ser-

EMPLOYERS AND TVORKME.

The arrangements for the forthcoming conference be-
tween an equal number of employers of labour and repre--
sentative working men—trades unionists—as proposed by
the Working Men's Association, are advancing towards
completion. It being the object of the conference to
agree upon and devise some measures, legislative or other-
wise, whereby the extensive and disastrous strikes and
lock-outs may be avoided in the future, considerable
trouble has been taken by the committee charged with
the arrangements to obtain the consent of employers to
act on the conference of sufficient weight and influence
in their respective branches of trade to make it probable
that the decision of the conference would be acquiesced in
by the employers of labour throughout the country gene-
rally. It was the original intention to confine the num-
bers to twelve on each side, but the desirableness of having
not only the staple trades of the country represented, such
as the cotton, woollen, silk, iron, coal, and pottery trades,
but the important ones of engineering, building, ship-
building, tailoring, &c., also, it is probable the num-
ber will be increased to eighteen. About ten of the most
extensive employers of labour in the country, including
six members of Parliament, have up to this time consented
to act on the conference, and it is expected the whole
number will be filled up by the close of the present week.
The same care has been taken in selecting the represen-
tatives of the workmen, in order that the representation
may be a national one; and to effect this object the
trades councils of Glasgow, Dublin, Liverpool, Manches-
ter, Birmingham. Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, and other
large towns, the London Conference of Amalgamated
Trades, and the associated iron, cotton, woollen, coal, and
pottery trades, have been requested each to elect one repre-
sentative from their body. Several of these councils and
staple trades have already elected their delegates, and in
other cases special meetings have been called for the pur-
pose. It is expected that the while of the members to
form the conference will be appointed within the next
week, in which case it is probable the meeting will be held
before Easter, at the Westminster Palace Hotel, or some
similar place. It is also intended to invite some gentle-
man of public influence, independent of either employers
or workmen, to preside over the sittings of the conference.
The meeting is being looked forward to with great interest
all over the country, and if it does not realise all the expect
tations of its promoters, it cannot do otherwise than result
in very beneficial effects.

WESTMINSTER.

DOUBTFUL CHARGE. Sarah Jane Simmons,
married, was charged with feloniously receiving a
vast quantity of plate, glass, &c., well knowing it
to have been stolen.

Robert Pettier, 98 M, said—Last night, from
information I received, I went in company with
another constable to 42, Hatfield-street, Lambeth,
where the mother and father of the prisoner resided.
The prisoner had lived at West-street, Pimlico,
but her husband is in trouble, and she was staying
with her parents. I told the mother I was a police-
constable, and should search her place for stolen
property, taken from Gore
-ge, Kensington, and
19, Onslow-square, Brompton.
Mr. Arnold—What authority bad you to search ?
Witness—None. I thought We could search in
cases of felony.

Mr. Arnold—You were acting illegally and with-
out authority ; the father and mother would re jus-
tified in expelling you, and use force in doing so ; it
is a violation of duty.

Witness—The mother showed me the box, and
I found many of the articles produced. Prisoner
came in and began to cry ; I asked her how the
things came to Hatfield-street. She said they were
brought there last Saturday week by the landlord's
son from West-street. She is a married woman.
Mr. James Holbert Wilson, of 19, Onslow-square,
said he thought the prisoner was to be pitied. Her
husband's brother was in his service as butler, and
must have stolen the things and taken them to his
mother. A short time ago the husband had com-
mitted a forgery on Coutta' Bank, and he and his
brother were now awaiting their trial at the Cen-
tral Criminal Court; they had stolen a circular
letter and forged the name of his nephew.
John Marsh, 92 M, said he went and took the
prisoner and asked her where she got the property
from.

Mr. Arnold said he could not hear what she said.
The constable bad no business to ask her questions.
He doubted whether it would be safe to commit on
the evidence, as the husband was undoubtedly the
receiver, and should be proceeded againbt by an in-
dictment at the sessions. lie should allow her to
go on her own recognianote till that day week,

CYRUS W. FIELD'S BANQUET.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Cyrus W. Field gave
a grand banquet at the Palace Hotel, Buck-
ingham-gate, and among the guests were most of
those distinguished in telegraphy and interested in
it. The occasion wara the anniversary of the agree-
ment signed by the small party that on that day
fourteen years before assembled in Mr. Field's
dining-room, to lay a line from New York to New-
foundland—the cable, in truth, being but a con-
tinuation of the undertaking. From that day Cyrus
W. Field dates the commencement of the great en-
terprise, the wonders of which were so strikingly
manifested at this banquet. In the room an operator
was seated at a table from which came the incessant
click as the instrument rolled off its tale in response
to the messages of the telegrapher which Mr. Field
sent from his seat to the greatest of his fellow-
citizens. 'While his guests were discussing the good
things he had so abundantly provided, Mr. Field
was actively engaged in extracting sentiments from
the President and the Secretary of State at Wash-
ington, from the Captain-General at Havannah,
from the Governor at Newfoundland, and from
other great dignitaries. The President made the
following response to Mr. Field's message :
" Express my congratulations to the telegraph festival
assembly. I wish them all possible success, and that their
wires may be multiplied through many seas, and their
stakes be extended through many lands."
And Mr. Seward said : _ _

"I congratulate the tel.grap'i builders. Instead of build-
ing a bridge for the tramp of hostile armies across the
ocean they have stretched a wire beneath it which effec-
tually exchanges friendly sentiments, sympathies, and
affections." _ _

At intervals as the feast progressed, Mr. Field
read the replies he received. Even his daughters,
who after the dinner graced the table with their
presence, had the pleasure of listening to a message
just received from Mrs. Field, Gramercy Park, New
York, which Mr. Field read to his guests, prefacing
it by stating that it was not intended for them—a
remark from which we are forced to dissent, as the
lady not only sent her warm congratulations to the
guests of her husband, but as warm an invitation
to any of them who should visit the United States.
If our host was actively employed in forwarding and
receiving messages during the dinner, he was even
more active in making known his own sentiments
and eliciting those of his most distingui3hed guests
afterwards. Mr. T. 11. Lloyd eloquently reviewed
the history of Mr. Cyrus Field's connection with
the Atlantic Telegraph, showing the untiring
energy, the dauntless efforts, the great s ►crifices by
which the difficulties were filially vanquished, and
which culminated in the successful laying of the
Atlantic cables. Mr. Gladstone was only prevented
from being present by the important debate pro-
ceeding in the House, as explained in the following
letter

"House of Commons, March 10.

THE WORLD'S COAL SUPPLY

In May 1865, during Earl Russen's tenure of the
.e °reign Office, he issued a circular despatch to each
British representative abroad requesting him to furnish an
annual report of the coal industry of the country to which
he was accredited. Statistics of great value and of high im-
portance have been the result
The return for 1867 has just been presented to Parlia-
ment. Lord Howard de Walden reports that in Belgium
the number of mines is stationary, but their activity had
considerably increased during-the year. Nearly 13,000,000
tons of coal were raised in the twelve months. The ex-
portation
to France shewed an increase of 11 per cent.
The exhaustion of the coal-mines had, as in England,
commanded considerable attention, but the result of ,
examination had removed all disquietude. The
Hainault colleries alone were good for another
Jentury and a half. Coal of good quality is raised in
Brazil, and the supply is limited only by the want
of a good means of transport. From China we learn
that the precious mineral has been discovered in Peng-how,
the chief island of the Pescadores. The Chinese were very
anxious to keep the matter a secret, but, after a long
parley, Consul Swiuhoe induced the islanders to shew him
where the vein was. So at length they shewed him a top
layer of lignite, which promised better things if they could
go deeper. The elders of the island have since presented
a singularly-worded petition to their chief, imploring him
to keep away the British from the place. Very good
bituminous coal is found in Japan ; the chief diffi-
culty of raising it is the scarcity of labour.
Prussia is rich in mineral fuel, especially in very good
coals. Calculations have been made which promise a
supply for the next 3,000 years, taking the annual quan-
tity raised at 2,500,000 metrical tons. In Wtirtemberg
there is an increased activity in the working of the collieries.
In Tasmania anthracite and bituminous coal is distributed
over various portions of the colony. In Trinidad the coal-
bearing rocks cover an area of 318 square miles. If the
fuel were attainable at a small cost, it would prove highly
valuable to the colony. The coal-fields of the Indian
Empire are almost entirely concentrated in a band of
deposits which extends more than half across the country
from near Calcutta towards Bombay. The quality of the
mineral is, however, inferior to the coal which is raised in
this country
