WHITE'S MOO-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 hero avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Uoc-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-
tot fail to fit, forwardel by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-

REMARKS.

The increase in barometrical pressure since yesterday has been
about one-tenth of an inch on all coasts, except in the north, where
readings have scarcely changed. Pressures are now generally high
and uniform, the lowest being still in the west of France—that at
Rochefort Is o'39in. less than at Greencastle. Temperature is nearly
unaltered. There was a prevalence yesterday of easterly winds,
whch were fresh in the S. of Ireland their direction is the same
this morning at all the stations, except in the extreme north, where
the wind is very light from the NAY. Fog and mist arereported from
several stations, whilst the sky is generally overcast.

INDIA.

he Times Calcutta correspondent understands that the
Oro,vernment of India, "acting upon the policy of cautious
activity to which it has been driven by events, has ad-
dressed the home authorities on the subject of some diplo.
matic representations to Russia regarding the neutralisa-
tion, not only of Afghanistan, but of Eastern Turkestan."
There seems to be very little doubt that this course is
advisable, if not necessary. The Russians have asked
Yakoob Beg of Yarkund for permission to establish a
cantonment, so as to command the best route from Tur-
kestan to India. He had previously refused to have any
dealings with his dangerous neighbours, and his persistent
caution has brought him into difficulty. It is reported at
Calcutta that his troops have by various circum-
stances been brought into contact with the Russians,
and have been defeated, and that he is now suing
for peace. If the Russians, as now seems probable,
establish the cantonment at Gumah, on the route to
India, it can hardly be deemed other than a direct menace
to our empire. Yakoob Beg has asked for our help, and
the Indian Government has resolved to give it. The time
has come for Russia and England to arrive at an under-
standing in Central Asia.
The new Irrigation Department has commenced the
stupendous work of artificially supplying water to a region
as large as Europe minus Russia. Plans and surveys are
being made, and the funds offered are practically un-
limited. But the want of competent engineers is a
great, and at present an insuperable, obstacle to
progress. All the men that the Secretary of State
can send might be employed in the Punjab
alone, which bears a ratio to the whole empire
similar to that of Yorkshire to England. Their scale of
pay is one deterrent cause. Then there is red tape, which
can accomplish no great work in a reasonable space of
time. And yet no duty of civilisation can be of greater
importance than the preservation of the vast multitudes
of our Indian subjects from the horrors of famine. In
Central India not 200,000 acres have been irrigated out of
a total area of 123 millions. Bindostan proper is also
much behind.
ROME.

It is considered certain, says the Liberte, that the Papal
Nuncios at Paris and Vienna will each receive the cardi-
nal's hat at the approaching Consistory. The claims of the
Archbishop of Paris are very strong, and there is reason
to believe that much in sup has been put forward on his
behalf, but nothing trannirres as to his chances of promo-
tion. His Holiness the Pope enjoys excellent health. The
refusal of the Greek Patriarch to accept the invitation to
the General Council of the Church has produced a very un-
favourable impression at Rome. It is known that this
refusal carries with it the whole Greek Church.

Cardinal Antonelli has published an edict materially
reducing the customs and octroi duties. The increasingly
important commercial relations between Rome and the
rest of Italy render this change, which comes into
operation at once, of much importance. Trade with Italy
has previously been greatly impeded by treaties in favour
of France and Germany.

THE PRIVY COUNCIL AND THE RITUALISTS.

"A Layman" writes to the Daily Hews, protesting
against a rumoured appointment which either is or is
about to be made. It is reported that Sir Joseph
Napier has been sworn a member of the Privy
Council, in order that he may be one of the judges
to try the case of Martin v. Mackonochie, which
comes on in a few days. The objection to this
appointment is that Sir Joseph has already passed
judgment upon the matter at issue, and that as one
of the Ritual Commissioners he shewed himself openly,
the partisan of the Low Church party. " A Lay-
man " also objects to the presence of the Lord
Chancellor, who is a Presbyterian. There
is less force in the second objection than
in the first. The question to be decided is,
what is, not what should be, the law of the English
Church. Lord Cairns may be, and no doubt is,
utterly opposed to the ritual which it is endeavoured
to suppress, and yet come to the conclusion that it is
legal in the English Church. Sir Joseph Napier's
case is different; he has already announced his deci-
sion in language that admits of no qualification, and
it is therefore a farce for him to sit and hear the
arguments. The decision of such a tribunal is not
ikely to inspire much confidence or respect.

THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

Mr. Dickens relates a quarrel between two gen-
tlemen at a supper party given by Mr. Robert
Sawyer. The difference between them is so great
that at one time it appears not unlikely that blood
will be shed ; but when they come to an explanation,
each finds out that the other is one of the best fellows
in the world, and first in his esteem. Our readers
are now familiar with the unparliamentary lan-
guage which has parsed between Lord Enfield
and Mr. Labouchere. It now appears that these
gentlemen are likely to forget their quarrel, and to
try and walk into Parliament together. The com-
mittee of the Reform Club acts as mediator, and
publishes letters from both candidates. Mr. Labou-
chere now regrets certain offensive expressions used
by him about Lord Enfield, the committee having
ascertained from his lordship that he never
doubted Mr. Labouchere's word. On the other hand,
Lord Enfield says he never called himself " scion of
a noble stock," which would be a piece of folly and
vulgarity. It is a pity public men cannot quarrel in
private. Their quarrels and ill-temper will be
remembered when their explanations are forgotten.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,

Railway Terminus, King's Cross.
Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY tho QUEEN.
Vice-Patron—

His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G.
President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.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.;
Herries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and
Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Barclay and Co.;Williams,
Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co., Berneru-street ; snd at
the Hospital from 10 till 5.

THE VICAR OF FROME AND THE ELECTION.

The Rev. W. J. E. Bennett some little time ego
was so disgusted by the conduct of the Conservatives
towards the advanced high Church party, that he
declined to have anything further to do with the
elections, and took his name off the books at Oxford.
At Frome, however, he has not disfranchised himself,
and has therefore taken advantage of the fact that
the Conservative candidate is the most pliable of
men to extract a pledge from him that he will not
support any fresh legislation with regard to
the ritual or the doctrine or the discipline
of the Church. Serjeant Sleigh had previously tried
two boroughs as a Radical, and is now at this elec-
tion trying his second borough as a Conservative.
So, Mr. Bennett, disregarding this gentleman's ante-
cedents, or rather believing that they would enable
him to deal with the illustrious Old Bailey advocate
the more easily, wrote to him and asked him, inter
alia, whether he would give his vote and influence
so that there should be no alteration in the Book of
Common Prayer, or of the rites and ceremonies of
the Church. To this question Serjeant Sleigh
returned an answer so satisfactory that Mr.
Bennett published a kind of pastoral on the subject,
announcing that he should cheerfully give his vote
for the learned candidate. The serjeant, we presume,
reckoned that the Ritual party would bring him more
supporters than their opponents ; but it must have
been a nice calculation, for Mr. Sheppard and his
friends, who are conducting the prosecution against
Mr. Bennett, are also Conservatives. The balance of
gain and loss must have been something like that
which Mr. Grant is said to have made in Marylebone,
where he reckoned up the teetotallers against the
publicans, and found that the latter would give hum
the greater number of votes.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to Mark-lane this morning the receipts of
wheat from Essex and Kent were limited. For both red
and white parcels the demand ruled heavy, at Monday's
reduction in value.

There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. In all des riptions sales progressed slowly at
about late rates. Floating cargoes of wheat were quiet.
Maiz) and other articles affoat were firm in value.

Moderate supplies of barley we.te on sale. Very little
business was passing in any description at the late de-
cline.

Malt sold slowly, but at full rates.
Oats changed hands quietly at barely previous quota-
tions.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—ThiS Day.

MARLBORO UGII-S TEEET.

DOG STEALING.—WiIIiam Cook, a cane splitter,
living in Bethnal-green, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing a small terrier dog of the
value of £3, the property of Miss Emily Steed,
residing at No. 15, Devonshire-place, Portland-
place.

From the evidence adduced it appeare&that the
prosecutrix was walking along Great Stanhope-
street yesterday in company of another lady,
when she suddenly .missed her little terrier dog,
which had been 'following her, and on turning
saw the prisoner running away with it. She spoke
to a constable, who went after the prisoner, and
finding that he was being pursued he put down the
dog, and, when taken into custody by the con-
stable, said that he was merely playing with
the dog. At the police station he was searched
and in his pocket three pieces of stuff used by
dog stealers, and known by the name of " pudding,"
were found.

The prisoner, iu answer to the charge, said he
was only playing with the dog, and that he had the
liver to give to his blackbird.
Mr. Tyrwhitt coLnmitteJ the prisoner for four
inoLths with Laid labour.
London, England, 1868-11-18

CRETE.

The petition which the leaders of the revolution in Crete
addressed to the Porte, asking for an autonomy under
a vassal of Turkey, has not prevented many of them
from making unconditional submission. Several of the
committee have requested permission to quit the island,
and the Porte is said to be disposed to grant it.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to Mark-lane this morning the receipts of
wheat from Essex and Kent were limited. For both red
and white parcels the demand ruled heavy, at Monday's
reduction in value.

There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. In all des riptious sales progressed slowly at
about late rates. Floating cargos of wheat were quiet.
Maize and other articles afloat were firm in value.

Moderate supplies of barley we.te on sale. Very little
business was passing iu any description at the late de-
cline.

Malt sold slowly, but at full rates.

Oats' changed hands quietly at barely previous qtWa-
bns.

INDIA.

BOMBAY, Oct. 31.

The statement that the Viceroy is going to
Peshawar to meet Shere Ali requires confirmation.
A serious epidemic has broken out among the
horses in Poona and Kirkee.

The Anglo-Indian bishoprics are to be reconsti-
tuted. Lahore, Allahabad, and Nsgpore will be
formed into new Archdeacoaries.
The llazara field force has reurned to British
territory after very little fighting. The majority
of the tribes have submitted to the terms offered by
the Government.

The Maharajah of Jaypore has abolished the du-
ties upon every sort of grain, with a view to relieve
the famine in Rajpootana. The Maharajah, who
loses upwards of a lakh of rupees annually
thereby,
has received the thanks of the Govern-
ment.

The Maharajah of Phenah has experimentally
discontinued the transit dues, and has also been
thanked by the Government.

CALCUTTA, Oct. 2G.

It is stated that Sir John Lawrence is preparing
an elaborate minute on the policy and principal
acts of the administration during his Viceroyalty.
On account of the scarcity of grain prevailing in
the upper provinces the proposed camps of the
Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief
have been countermanded.

BRIBERY IN HIGH QUARTERS.

euriou.s incident has transpired at Shrewsbuiy-
Great excitement was exhibited by the crowd sur-
rounding the hustings, who had heard rumours of a
compromise. The candidates were Mr. Clement
(L.), Mr. R. Crawford (L.), and 'Mr. Figgins (C.)
When Mr. Crawford came forward he deliberately
stated on his honour, on his oath, that he had been
offered £BOO if he would leave the other candidates
in possession of the field. £3OO had been offered his
London agent if he would " see the matter through."
Mr. Clement denies all knowledge of the circum-
stance, and Mr. Crawford believes his word. A.
statement of the matter is to be prepared, and the
affair can hardly end here. It is a farce to preach
against bribery to poor and needy electors, and then,
to set them such an example as this.

THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION.
Mr. Dickens relates a quarrel between two gen-
tlemen at a supper party given by Mr. Robert
Sawyer. The difference between them is so great
that at one time it appears not unlikely that blood
vill be shed ; but when they come to an explanation,
each finds out that the other is one of the best fellows
in the world, and first in his esteem. Our readers
are now familiar with the unparliamentary lan-
guage which has passed between Lord Enfield
and Mr. Labouchere. It now appears that these
gentlemen are likely to forget their quarrel, and to
try and walk into Parliament together. The com-
mittee of the Reform Club acts as mediator, and
publishes letters from both candidates. Mr. Labou-
chere now regrets certain offensive expressions used
by him about Lord Enfield, the committee having
ascertained from his lordship that he never
doubted Mr. Labouchere's word. On the other hand,
Lord Enfield says he never called himself a " scion of
a noble stock," which would be a piece of folly and
vulgarity. It is a pity public men cannot quarrel in
private. Their quarrels and ill-temper will be
remembered when their explanations are forgotten.

AN easy and accurate System of Self-measure,
introduced by E. MOSES and Son, has served to extend
their connectic n to all parts of the kingdom,

REMARKS.

The increase in barometrical pressure since yesterday has been
about one-tenth of an inch on all coasts, except in the north, where
readings have scarcely changed. Pressures are now generally high
and uniform, the lowest being still in the west of France—that at
Rochefort is o'39in. less than at Greencastle. Temperature is nearly
unaltered. There was a prevalence yesterday of easterly winds,
which were fresh in the S. of Ireland: their direction is the same
this morning at all the stations, except in the extreme north, where
the wind is very light from the N.W. Fog and mist arereported from
several stations, whilst the sky is generally overcast..
