THE ROYAL INFIRMARY for DISEASES
of CHILDREN and WOMEN, Waterloo-bridge-

road.
Upwards of 100 poor sick children are relieved daily at
this Hospital.
The Committee most earnestly solicit Contributions, to
enable them to continue the benefits of medical aid to those
numerous poor suffering children, who are rendered so
helpless by sickness and poverty.
Bankers, Messrs. Fuller, Banbury, and Co., 77, Lombard-

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern
Railway Terminus, King's Cross.
Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN.

Vice-Patron—
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G.
President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEITH, I.G.
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 large 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.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ;
ferries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and

VIE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The intelligence of the termination of the war in Para:
guay is confirmed. Not only has the fort of Tebicuary,
supposed to be the last stronghold of the Paraguayans,
been captured, but Lopez himself has taken to flight,
sheaving that his resources are exhausted. The Marquis of
Caxias, the commander of the allied army, has abandoned
the spoil of Tebicuary in order to follow the retreating
enemy. Lopez is retorted to have shot several general
officers, and also the Portuguese Consul-General, who
resided at Asuncion. This, be it observed, is only the
Brazilian side of the story. Though it is hopeless to
expect that the news of the defeat may be untrue, yet it
will be reasonable not to accept these reports of atrocities
until they are fully established. On the other hand, these
cruelties are said to have been reported by a Paraguayan
cavalry officer. But humanity forbids us to believe that
ladies have been whipped to death until we are compelled
to believe it. There was very little fighting atTebicuary. ,

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-

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

SUICIDES IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.

"WHAT is "an unsound mind ?" According to
coroners' juries anybody is of unsound mind who
destroys his body. Yet the noblest of heathen,
EPICTETUS and MARCUS AURELIUS, believed that
suicide was a perfectly logical and justifiable
action. True, they were " heathen," and the two girls
who threw themselves into the Regent's Canal on
Friday were " Christian." We doubt, however, if
the Christianity was more than surface deep, was at
all better than, or even nearly so good as the
heathenism of those great "seekers after GOD "
whose lives and teaching Mr. FAnnAn has just
described in one of the most fascinating books ever
published. Moreover, religion apart, there seems to
be actually no trace whatever of insanity in this case,
or in countless others, which, if jurors were honest
and not deterred by the thought of "maimed funeral
rites," they would return as self-felony. In
the Regent's Canal case there was every ele-
ment to disgust,
scarcely any to excite pity.
Two girls deliberately walk up to a bridge
over one of the foetid London canals, and on
their way pass two other girls, and tell them that they
are going to " make away with themselves." The
second couple accompany the first as though the
four were taking an ordinary walk. Arrived at the
bridge, the first couple take off some of their clothing,
and one of them finds a fourpenny-piece in her
pocket, which she gives to the second couple, because
it will be of no use to her in the canal, and she
has not heard of the obolus which CHARON demands
for ferrying across the Styx. The two suicides
climb on to the parapet, and, holding hand in hand,
leap through the dark night into the darker
water. The two spectators say " Good GOD !" pick
up the clothes and put them on " because it is a cold
night," pocket the fourpence with as much satisfac-
tion as the heir to some crabbed uncle pockets a
fortune, and then walk home, agreeing to tell no one
until the next morning, fearing, we suppose,
that the suicides might be rescued, restored to life,
and reclaim the bonnets and the four-
penny-piece. An inquest is held ; all these facts
are stated, with the additional information that

The results of the Military Conference at Munich have
not been made public, but one fact has leaked out on good
authority, which, if it be true, is of the highest importance.
The conference is said to have decided that in cases of war

of the South be entrusted to Prussia.

BIRMINGHAM PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.

THE Birmingham Protestant Association, not con-
tented with Mr. BRIGHT'S very explicit reply to their
first letter, have addressed a second. Mr. BRIGHT
gives very much the same answer that he gave
before. lie will not expel the Jesuits from England,
nor any other persons, on account of their reli-
gion. As to the Ritualists, he is really
not competent to say who should belong
to, or who should leave, the English Church.
Of course, the Birmingham Protestants will not be
satisfied. They cannot see that their Protestantism
is really Popery in another form. The great evil of
the Roman religion is not this or that particular
dogma, but the denial of the right of private judg-
ment, and the punishing with civil penalties persons
who offend by reason of their religious creed. It
matters not whether Jesuits torture " heretics," or
"
of '
Popery
is expelthat as thei c
h Jesuits
which 3
the one is as much of the
essence
other. The only true Pro-
testantism
leaves a man absolutely
e
free both in body and mind to hold his religious
creed ; Protestantism which persecutes Jesuits is
a contradiction of terms. Fortunately, this is becom-
ing more generally acknowledged every day. Though
Middlesex magistrates may accept gratuitously the
services of a Roman Catholic chaplain in the work-
house, which their conscience will not permit them to
pay for, though Birmingham Protestants may
endeavour to compel Mr. BRIGHT to vote for the
expulsion of Jesuits, and though Mr. DISRAELI may
seek to uphold an alien Church by raising the old cry
of " No Popery," the great bulk of the nation refuse to
participate in or to respond to such bigotry.

The receipts of home-grown wheat fresh up this morn-

was limited, and as the transactions were mostly of a con-

EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the

is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

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 fow minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

attempting to pick the pockets of some Dutch sailors
in Ratcliff-highway.
Police-sergeant Robert Smith, 47 K, said that
the prisoner was summarily convictei on the 2d of
August, 1861, and sentenced to ten days' imprison
ment and hard labour. On the 18th of April,
1862 the prisoner was convicted of felony and
sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard
labour for stealing a coat out of a dwelling-house.
On the 22d of April, 1863, the prisoner was sen-
tenced to ten days imprisonment and hard labour
for felony ; and on the 15th of July, 1863, the
prisoner was convicted at the Central Criminal
Court for highway robbery and assault, and sen-
tenced to six years penal servitude.
Mr. Paget committed him to the House of Cor-
rection and to be kept to hard labour for three
months.

MUCH ADO ALOTIt NOTHING.

The Tiev. W. C. Sidgwick writes to the Times to
say that he did not call the Duke of Marlborough. by
an offensive epithet, as his grace thinks; but he told
a story of hearing a man in Italy use the phrase.
The duke was called an " infamous scoundrel.' Mr.
Sidgwic'c now confesses that it was "an outrage. on
publ:e decency " to use the expression at all. He
does not charge the duke with any intention of in-
timidating his tenants, but considers that his letter
to Mr. Prodrick, refusing to give him any explicit
answer to his questions, was calculated to produce
an unfavourable impression. We commented upon
the letter at the time, when it appeared to us that
to rather an offensive interference on the part of Mr.
13rodrick the duke meant in a circumlocutory w
ily
to answer, " Mind your own business," and the
explanation of his grace's agent at the time
acquitted him of any intimidation. Mr. Sidgwiek
retires from the conflict of words somewhat ungrace-
fully, and not without a Parthian shot.

MY LORD MAYOR.

We should think no previous Lord Mayor has
managed through bad judgment to commit so many
mistakes within his mayoralty as Mr. Alderman
Allen has within his. The exalted way in which he
has performed those little courtesies which have
made the Lord Mayoralty so popular is only equalled
by the mistakes he has committed in the really im-
portant part of his office. He was very severely
handled at the laSt Court of Aldermen. In calling
the meeting for the relief of the sufferers by
the great earthquake in Peru, he ordered it
to le assembled at Guildhall. Hitherto all
these meetings have been held at the Mansion
House, and the fund has been superintended by the
Lord Mayor himself. Not so now, however. The
whole thing has been put by Mr. Allen into the •
hands of Mr. Sidney Smith, the official at the Guild-
hall. lie himself has taken little part in it. The
forthcoming Lord Mayor is not likely to err in
matters of form. Ile is going from the Guildhall tc
Westminster on " Lord Mayor's Day," in all the
glory with which the ancient State coach, men in
armour, &e. can surround him. It may be added
that to-day the freedom of the City is to be given
to Field-3larshal Sit .John Burgoyne.

THE roon- L tiv DOARD ON THE ALEnT.

Under the influence of public opinion, the Poor-
law Board give signs now and. then of v,-atiiiig up,
and of attempting to shake off that lethargy which
has been its characteristic for years. Now and then,
indeed, the voice of some ono who complains of being
ill-treated reaches its ear, and the complaint is
investigated. That it can be of use as a central
institute in supervising local action is shown when-
ever it tries to use its influence in this way.
An " official " inquiry has just been con-
chided at the Lambeth workhouse, which skews
that the Board still exists. A girl named
Garnham was put into a dark cell as a
punishment for insubordinate behaviour, and when
thrust into the place her head was, intentionally or
otherwise, knocked against the wall. A succession of
fits took place, followed by such a prostration of
strength that she was not expected to recover, and a
magistrate took what wes supposed to have been her
dying deposition. These facts coining to the know-
ledge of the Poor-law Board, Dr. Markham, the
Government inspector, was instructed to make
inquiries. He has done so, and his report will soon
be made public.

THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER.

The North East Correspondence gives some curious details
of an interview between the Emperor Alexander and the
Austrian General Prince von Tour-und-Taxis. The Czar
is said to have made friendly overtures, or rather personal
advances, to the Emperor Francis Joseph. He expressed him-
self very anxious about affairs in Spain, and uneasy as to the
possible consequences of the revolution with regard to the
principle of monarchy. He observed that the policy
which formerly united the three Northern Courts was the
best and the most tried course for their respective States.
Under present circumstances the best thing they could do
would be to restore that policy ; meaning, it is to be pre-
sumed, that they were to restore the " Holy Alliance."
He congratulated the Kaiser on the postponement of the
journey to Gallicia, which would necessarily be interpreted
as a step hostile to the interests of Russia.

MARK-LANE.

The receipts of home-grown wheat fresh up this morn-
in were only moderate. As the attendance of millers
was limited, and as the transactions were mostly of a con-
sumptive character, the demand for both red and whit©
parcels flagged. In prices no quotable alteration took
place.

Floating cargoes of wheat were dull of sale.
and uther kinds of produce afloat were firm in value.

Maizo

The barley trade was firm, and fine malting parcels com-
manded very full prices.
_ _

Malt was in seasonably extensive supply and moderato
request on former terms.

The oat trade was steady, and the value of old corn
was well supported.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251.22ie. per £1 sterling
On o.nuparing these rates with the English Mint price cf
rrs.lo4d. per ounce for stludard gold, it appe..rs that
gold is shoat 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than In
Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for balls
at GO days' Eight was on the last date about 1' 91 per cent
At this rate there is no profit• on the importation of gol
from the United States.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales intend honouring the Adolph Theatre this even-
'ng with their presence.

THE NATAL DIFFICULTY.

A letter signed " Syd.ney Gedge " appears in the
TiliZe4 upon the subject of the late action of the
monthly board of the S. P. C. K. It has been the
custom of this board to make grants only on the
recommendation of the standing committee, and
unless this custom is adhered to, or the meetings of
the board are held less often, so that memberS of the
society who live out of London may attend
them, he foresees that an organised clique
can snatch an unfair triumph. A letter
from one of the 94 who voted against the £2,000
grant appears in the Herald. The writer has no
sympathy with Colenso, but is not prepared to ignore
the Queen's supremacy. He says that the members
of the English Church Union are no Churchmen, and
he heard one of them say, " Oh ! hang Cesar," when
it was asked where was the Queen's mandate for con-
secration. He trusts that the resolution carried on
the oth will be rescinded, and that £2,000, or even
more, may be allotted in such cases only as the
standing committee may approve.

SIC VOS NON VODIS.

Mr. Raphael Brandon complains that Mr. Williams
has stolen his ideas upon the subject of the manage-
ment of the railway system by the State. In 1854
he commenced his calculations as to fares, and named
his scheme to several friends. In 1864 he commu-
nicated with the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon
the subject, and in the early part of this year he
read a paper before the Society of Arts, and pub-
lished it in the form of a pamphlet, afterwards noticed
by nearly all the London papers. Mr. John Imray,
engineer, also claims to have studied the subject,
upon which he wrote a leader in the Scientific .Review
for May. He showed that by the adoption of two
sets of fares, one for short journeys up to twenty
miles, and one for all lengths of journey beyond
twenty miles, great accommodation would be
afforded to the public, and the income of the
railway companies would be increased by more than
£1,000,000 per annum. The rates which he
proposed were as follows :—Short journey : 3rd class,
3d. ; 2nd class, Od. ; Ist class, Is. Long journey : 3rd
class, 4s. ; 2nd class, Bs. ; Ist class, Ms. The more
attention the matter receives the better it will be for
the public. Railway tyranny has long been unbear-
able, and directors will not learn that privilege should
be accompanied by responsibility. The railways
should be conducted in the interests of the public,
and not exclusively to the advantage of the share-
holders, or, worse still, a clique of directors and
promoters.

AN OLD PUBLIC SERVANT.

The belief expressed some time since that Sir
George Grey would not hold office in the next
Liberal Government is now confirmed by the address
which the right hon. gentleman has just issued to
the electors of Morpeth. He states that he can no
longer hope to take as active a part in public affairs
as he has done in former years, although he will
support every measure tending to the welfare and
contentment of all parts of the empire. Sir
George belongs to the old Whig school,
and has always consistently. supported the
Liberal party. He was first returned for Deyon-
port in 1832, and entered office as Under Secretary
for the Colonies in July 1834 ; he held this post
until the following November, and was again ap-
pointed five months later, continuing in this office
until 1839. He was then •elioScii Judge-Advocate-
Gcncral, which he held till June 1841, when he was
transferred to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of
Lancaster. On the advent of the Liberals to power
in 1816, he filled the Secretaryship of the
Home Department. He held this position
until February 1852. In June 1854 he was appointed
Colonial Secretary, but in the February following he
again went to the Home Office, which he filled until
Lord Palmerston resigned in 1858. When the noble
lord regained office in 1859, Sir George was a second
time Chancellor of the Duchy, but on the death of
Sir George Cornewall Lewis he was once more chosen
to represent the Home Department. In his address
to his constituents he makes no mention of either
Mr. Gladstone or the Irish Church question, although
he voted with the majority when the resolutions were
before the House.

THE BISHOP. OF CHESTER.

A visitation has been held in Nantwieli parish
church by the Bishop of Chester. Ilis charge
throughout was a most impartial one. Ile found
fault with the different parties in the Church for
their sins of omission and commission. lle wished
for every possible liberty, but-to this liberty there
must be a limit. lie remarked that " some minds,
of course, might sympathise with the non-jurors in
their wish that all the characteristic peculiarities of
the first Prayer-book of Edward VI. had been persist-
ently retained. Others, on the other hand, said that
no subsequent revision of the Book of Common
Prayer had ever departed far enough from the
original of 1549. But, waiving all considerations
of such extreme views, they had to remember that
for all practical purposes their service book was for
them what the last review made it; and, further,
that nothing conduced more to settling the peace of
this nation, which was desired by all good men, nor
to the, honour of our religion. and the propagation
thereof, than an outward agreement in the worship
of Almighty God." Ile condemned the practice
of supplementing the Book of Common Prayer by the
"Directorium A nglicanum' ' and objected to the doc-
trine that whatever was not expressly abrogated at the
Reformation was still legally binding. On the other
hand, he condemned the omissions of the Low
Church party, and complained that in many cases no
heed was given to the aireetion which required the
clergy to declare to the people what holy days and
fast days occurred during the week—directions as
plain and distinct as those for the sermon ; the bread
and wine were placed upon the holy table by other
hands, and at another time than was enjoined by the
rubric ; and the consecrated elements were adminis-
tered to more than one communicant at a time. He
made only a passing allusion to the great
political crisis at hand. The Bishop refuted the
statement of those who date our national Chris-
tianity from the arrival of the monk Augustine,
forgetting the presumptive evidence which most
impartial writers had recognised, of the knowledge
of the Gospel having reached Britain, more or less
directly, from the East, and not through Rome.
They ignored the time, little, if at all short of five
centuries, of a Church which had her martyrs in
the persecution under Diocletian, and was repre-
sented by three bishops in three councils—a Church
of whose service an. auddistliih tl.ietiheryeeworedrze praierzmiaitttebde

THE 'SONG OF A SHIRT.

The following appears in the Manchester Courier :---"1" Sir.,
will you kindly allow me to insert in your valuable
paper a caution to the needlewomen of Manchester ? Being
a widow, I applied for work to one of our merchant
princes. I get twelve shirts to finish ; I returned them
to the warehouse, and was most munificently rewarded
with is. 4d. for a week's work. I had to stitch in the
linings, fell the shirts, put in the gussets, and neck and
make sixty button-holes, finding my own thread. Now,
sir, I ask you whether such infamous conduct to poor
women is not pinching, and compelling them to com-
mit crimes which are too horrible to mention. I
can now thoroughly appreciate the goodness of Mist
Rye in taking away so many from the influence at
such temptation to the needlewomen of large towns ; ani
I hope, if only for the sake of the young girls who are
compelled to exist on such slender means as I have men-
tioned above, that such benevolent ladies will meet with
success in their holy undertaking. By inserting the above,
you will oblige yours, &c., "A WIDOW."

BIRMINGHAM PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.

TIIE Birmingham Protestant Association, not con-
tented with Mr. BRIGHT'S very explicit reply to their
first letter, have addressed a second. Mr. BRIGHT
gives very much the same answer that he gave
before. He will not expel the Jesuits from England,
nor any other persons, on account of their reli-
gion. As to the Ritualists, he is really
not competent to say who should belong
to, or who should leave, the English Church.
Of course, the Birmingham Protestants will not be
satisfied. They cannot see that their Protestantism
is really Popery in another form. The great evil of
the Roman religion is not this or that particular
dogma, but the denial of the right of private judg-
ment,punishingof their religious creed. It
with civil penalties persons
who
offend
be reason by
matters not whether Jesuits torture " heretics," or
"heretics " expel Jesuits ; the one is as much of the
ss as the other. The only true Pro-
testantism f Popery
leaves a man absolutely
free both in body and mind to hold his religious
creed ; Protestantism which persecutes Jesuits is
a contradiction of terms. Fortunately, this is becom-
