To say that the weights for the spring handicaps
were received with general satisfaction, would only
faintly express the " welcome" accorded to them in
all quarters. To the racing public, who began to
tire of the monotonous tedium of the short turf
vacation, they will afford food for study and busi-
ness, until the series is inaugurated at Lincoln, and
already mysterious whispers are in circulation of good
things with at least a stone in hand. The Grand
National has taken a decided lead in the game of
speculation, and as none of the early fancies have
been " crushed" it will undoubtedly prove a merry
betting race ; but with many interests doubly and
trebly represented the " pea" is certain to take
some finding. Two or three important Derby moves
were made on Saturday when the " cherry jacket "
commissioner accepted 100 to 15 to win £4,000
about Rosicrucian, and also took "twelve monkeys"
about Green Sleeve, 6 to 1 to £4OO being laid
against Lady Elizabeth. Throughout the week
Pace has been in great demand, and no opportunity
missed of securing the 1000 to 60 prices, which are
no longer procurable ; and another of the Newmar-
ket division, Suffolk, is very firm at 20 to 1. Cir-
cumstances favour the idea that Rosicrucian, will be
the Kingsclere representative in the Two Thousand,
and should he win—as lam sanguine he will with a
start—would come a tremendous pot for theDerbh
even in the face of Lady Elizabeth. Apparently
a genuine commission is being worked in favour of
Vale Royal for the Two Thousand, as 20 to 1 has
been booked to some money ; but I am loth to see
the grounds upon which he bases his claims, and
think Formosa to be a far more profitable invest-
ment.

(From the Racing Times.)
The weights for most of the Spring Handicaps made
their appearance simultaneously in Weatherby's Calendar
on Thursday last, and although there are some consider-
able differences in the estimate formed by the several han-
dicappers of the capabilities of the animals engaged, there
is, on the whole, very lii,tle ground of complaint. I notice,
by the way, that Admiral Rous favours my Derby outsider,
Speculum, with the top weight as regards three year olds
for the Metropolitan Stakes; and in the Lincolnshire Han-
dicap he alto heads the list of youngsters. It is ridiculous
making any selections until the acceptances give me an
opportunity of forming an opinion which engagements
some of the best horses are likely to NM'. At the same
time there is no great objection apparent to me why one
may not point to two or throe animals engaged in these
races which look formidable on paper, because I believe
many a time the pen of owners has erased nominations
without due consideration, which animals would have
won their engagements afterwards in a canter. Cne not-
able instance of this kind was Virago, who did not accept
for the Chester Cup through a fit of spleen of the owner,
although it was notorious afterwards that this wonderful
filly would have won in a; canter—a pretty good proof of
which washer winning the City and Suburban and Metro-
politan Handicaps (run the same day), and the Great
Northern Handicap, all previous to the great race alluded
to, for which her penalties would only have been 101 b.
extra. The first great handicap of the year is at Lincoln,
and amongst the seventy-nine nominations are some of
the fastest herses of the day. Volunteer heads the lot with
9st on his back, which ought to give him a great chance
of winning, but the two I most fancy are 11oLEsxtx and
AINSLIE, although Bumbnt is very well in, considering
the easy style in which she won the Trial Handicap at
Manchester this year, and I think she ought to have had five
pound s more on her back in consequence of that performance.
A lot of the steeplechase horses for the Grand National at
Liverpool are lightly handicapped, but I should fancy
those persons who invest on FAN and SURNEY will most
likely have both an acceptance and a good race for their
money. I am only taking a cursory glance of the weights,
and until the acceptances come out must decline saying
anything relative to the two great Epsom Handicaps. Of
those horses which are weighted for the Great Northamp-
ton Stakes, and are also engaged in the Chester Cup, seve-
ral appear to be more favourably considered at the
former place. Amongst them, although the Northampton
weights commence 81b. heavier, Christmas Carol, Neroli,
Nidderdale, Proserpine, Settleholder, Purveyor, The
Mariner, &c., are more leniently treated than by Mr.
'Popham, whilst that gentleman has let in Stradbroke and
Paul Jones on more favourable term!, and my impression
is he might very well have put an extra five pounds on
Treasure Trove's back, as Gst 9lb is a very light impost
for the winner of the Lincolnshire and Metropolitan Han-
dicaps only two years ago. Those animals which appear
to me best in for Chester Cup are Viridis, Feodor, Trea-
sure Trove, Weather Star, and Paul Jones. However, as
the acceptances will then have been made, I.purposo dis-
cussing the different handicaps more fully in your next
week's paper.

[ADVERTISENENT.]-ITOllOWay'S Ointment and Pills.
Insufficient clothing and exposure to damp and cold pro-
duce many diseases of the skin, and greatly aggravate the
sufferings of the delicate and scrofulous. The utmost
relief is obtainable in such cases by using Holloway's re-
medies. The ointment applied to the part affected restrains
all insidious inflammations, while it soothes, cleans, and
renders healthy any ulcerations or sores which have de-
stroyed the skin and show little disposition to heal. This
ointment purifies the blood, renders the local circulation
vigorous, and represses excessive irritation. Holloway's
pills are particularly serviceable in all strumous disorders,
because they strengthen the stomach, improve the diges-
tion, excite a proper action in the liver, and act 8.9 altera.

On the 121 inst. Mr. Charles Dickens gave one
of his readings in Philadelphia. The following de-
scription is by a correspondent in the New York
Tribune of January 14th :—" No literary man ex- i
cept Thackery ever had such a welcome from Phila-
delphia as Charles Dickens received last night at
Concert Hall. The selling of the tickets two weeks
ago almost amounted to ',a disturbance of the peace.
Five hundred people in line standing from midnight
till noon poorly represented the general desire to
hear the great novelist on his first night. I can-
not see that it was Dickens's fault that every-
body wanted to hear him, or Dolby's that Concert
Hall could only hold 1,500 of the 15,000 who
wanted to get in ; but all this grumbling and dis-
satisfaction melted away before the charm of the
name of Charles Dickens, before the smiles of plea-
sure and mirth which the memory of his works
evoked. Everywhere that I looked in the crowded
hall I saw some one not unknown to fame ; some
one representing either the intelligence or the beauty,
the wealth, or the fashion of Philadelphia. It was
an audience which, in the words of Sergeant Buzfuz,
I might declare an enlightened, a high-minded, a
right feeling, a dispassionate, a conscientious, a
sympathising, a contemplative, and a poetical jury
to judge Charles Dickens without fear or favour.
Charles Dickens stepped upon the stage. His book
in his hand, his bouquet in his coat—but I will not
describe to the readers of the Tribune the face and
form many of them know so well. Mr. Dickens
was received coldly. Philadelphia never takes
anything for granted. She is nothing if /tot criti-
cal, and if William Penn were to come back most
of us would cut the old Quaker dead ; and here
was an Englishman, a man who had pulled us
to pieces and tweaked the national nose by writing
Martin Chuzzlewit' and American Notes;' a man
who had broken our bread and tasted our salt, and
then made fun of us for putting our knives in our
mouths. Philadelphia would not stand any bigod
nonsense from him. So, when the dapper Mr.
Dickens stepped out so smilingly., he must have felt
as if he had stumbled by mistake into a bath of ice-
cold water. The stony British star' Tennyson
talks of is nothing to the glaring look with which
Philadelphia freezes a man's blood. But did Dickens
mind it? Not he. ' Marley was dead to begin
with,' said Mr. Dickens, and he went straight at
his work. It was good work. Yet Philadelphia held
out as long as she could, not only resolved never
to give in to a Britisher, but also feeling a
real disappointment in the man. The first
smile came in when Bob Crat chit warmed him
self With a candle, but before Scrooge had got
through with the first ghost the laughter was uni-
versal and uproarious. The Christmas dinner of
the Cratchits was a tremendous success, as was
Scrooge's Niece by marriage. There was a young
lady in white fur and blue ribbons, name unknown
to the writer, upon whose sympathies Mr. Dickens
played as if she had been a piano. A deaf man
could have followed his story by looking at her face.
The goose convulsed her. The pudding threw her
into hysterics ; and when the story came to the sad
death of Tiny Tim, my little, little child,' tears
were streaming down her cheeks. This young lady
was as good as Mr. Dickens, and all the more at-
tractive because she couldn't help it. Then as a
joke began to be dimly foreseen, it was great to see
the faint smile dawning on long lines of faces, grow-
ing brighter and brighter till it passed from sight
and sound, and thundered to the roof in vast and
inextinguishable laughter."
The Public Ledger, describing the outburst of
enthusiasm caused by Mr. Dickens's visit, says it is
" a state of popular excitement, that, taken in all
its phases, is without a parallel on our side of the
ocean." Mr. Dickens gives his second reading this
evening; and on the 16th and 17th he reads at
Brooklyn, at Henry "Ward Beeither's Plymouth
Church. The sale of seats for the Brooklyn read-
ings was characterised by the usual excitement,
many people staying out all night to get the first
choice, and 5,000 tickets being disposed of between
9 o'clock and noon. Early in February Mr. Dickens
gives four readings in 'Washington, where the price
of seats is fixed at five dollars each. In the leading
cities of the west he is also announced, and his pre-
sent intention is to return to England in the Cuba
on the 22 d of April.

LONDON SCOT 7 ISH RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.

The winter inspection and presentation of prizes I
won by members of this corps took place in West-
minster Hall on Saturday evening. About 400
rank and file were under arms, and the hall was
well filled with spectators. The honorary Colonel,
Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant, G.C.8., was
present at the inspection, the Volunteers being under
the command of Major Anson, V.C. Unfortunately
the Lieutenant-Colonel, Lord Elcho, who is now
on the Continent with LadyElcho,was unable to at-
tend, but he sent a telegram, which was read in the
hall, expressing regret for his absence, wishing the
London Scottish a prosperous new year, and stating
his conviction that, if ever they were called on to do
service, they would be found a reality, and no
sham. After the inspection Sir Hope and Lady
Grant, with other ladies, having taken their seats
on the dais placed upon the steps at the western end
of the hall, Major Anson addressed the corps, re-
gretting the absence of Lord and Lady Elcho, and
reviewing at some length the doings of the London
Scottish during the past year. The effective strength
of the corps on December 1, 1867, was 512, as com-
pared with 616 at the same date in 1866. This
falling off, however, is apparent rather than real,
and is due to the fact that during the year there
has been a transfer of 106 members from the effec-
tive list to the list of honorary members. Most of
these have done good service in the past, but being
from various causes no longer able to remain effi-
cients they have been very properly shifted to the
honorary list, though with a nominal sacrifice to the
effective strength, which, in making this allowance,
remains about the same as it was last year. The
" efficients" in 1867 were 402, against 338 in the
previous year, and of these efficients 260 earned
1-305. for the corps, against 205 in 1866. This
is a satisfactory test of vitality and progress,
and we find further that the percentage of effi-
ciency has increased from 46.39 per cent. in 1865
to 78.51 per cent. in 1867. Major Anson, then,
had good reason for congratulating the corps
that they, at all events, had done what they
could to preserve the reality of volunteering.
In answering certain criticisms, well meant, but
hardly well founded, recently passed upon the value
of the Volunteer force, Major Anson pointed out
that the Volunteers could not have a separate orga-
nisation of the civil departments necessary for a
field force. In c.ise of invasion the Volunteers
would be brigaded with the regular army, and must
be served, therefore, by the existing Commissariat,
Transport, and Medical Departments. If those
departments were not sufficiently expansive or not
properly efficient, the Volunteers were not to blame,
and he strongly repudiated the notion that the
Volunteer force was nothing better than a sham.
The list of their rifle matches in 1867 is honourable
to the London Scottish, though even the famous
marksmen whom they can send to the butts were
not always victorious. Thus the 19th Middlesex..and
beat them in March by 1,235 marks to 1,220 ;
Major Anson hoped that the victory did the
to heMtihde-
dlesex men as much good as the defeat did
Scotchmen. In April the lauttee they followed
ftohleloSwt.edGueoprgtheiss
corps by 116 marks; in June
victory by beating the marksmen of the South Middle-
sex and the 2d Administrative Battalion of Middle-
sex Rifle Volunteers; but pride had a fall in July,
for in a match of 20 on each side with the Ist ad-
ministrative battalion of a Staffordshire corps, they
were handsomely whipped by 54 marks. Then

TWENTY-TWO SAILORS PICKED UP AT SEA.—
Last Saturday afternoon the barque Britannia,
Captain Greig, bound from the west coast of Africa for
Liverpool, put into Holyhead, having on board twenty-
two men, being the master, Capt. Ferguson, and crew of
the ship Ghazeepore, from Akyab, laden with rice for
Liverpool. On Monday afternoon, at 4 p.m., the Britan-
nia, whilst 40 miles south of Cork, came up to the Gha-
zeepore, which was totally dismasted two days pre-
viously, and was in a leaky and sinking condition. The
crew were put on board the Britannia with considerable
difficulty. The Ghazeepore was 140 days trom Akyab.
The crew on being landed at Holyhead proceeded on to
Liverpool.
RIOT AT PRAGUE.—An anti-German manifesta-
tion occurred in the capital of Bohemia on the 21st. M.
Herbst had visited the city, and the German party gave
him a dinner. Thereupon the Czechs mustered in great
numbers outside the hotel, hissed, sang the Slavic songs,
and shouted, "Slava! Slava !" "Hurrah for the Czar !''
Dr. Ringer, the Slavic champion, vainly tried to quiet
them. The gendarmes were hooted. and the life of one,
who was thrown from his horse, seemed in danger. At
length a body of infantry appeared, but it was only when
they came on with bayonets at the charge that the crowd
gave way. Subsequently a fresh band of rioters broke
the windows of the German theatre and sacked a café.
Soldiers again marched, but the mob offered no resist-
ance. A battery was held in readiness, and strong pa-
trols moved about all night.

THE MEMORIAL TO DR. JELF. —The Bishop of Lon-
don has consented to preside at a meeting of professors,
past and present students, and others of King's Col-
lege, on Friday next, for the purpose of promoting a
memorial to Dr. Jeff, who is about resigning the
Principalship.
. THE LONDON IRISH ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.—Mr.
Digby Seymour states that the result of the appeal he
made last week to loyal Irishmen has been most assur-
ing and successful. Since then, he adds, a very great
number of Irishmen of all classes, but principally of
the working class, have added their names, with the
voucher of their residences, to the loyal address to the
Queen. I have during the week received numerous
letters of the most gratifying character—some from
the superintendents or managers of large mercantile
concerns, requiring more sheets of the address to satisfy
the voluntarily expressed desire of Irishmen on their
premises to record their names ; some from bodies of
Irishmen requesting me to forward the address for
their signatures, some from employers of Irish labour
or from Irish labourers themselves, thanking me for
adopting a course which has in frequent instances
restored mutual confidence, or checked a rising
uneasiness ; many from persons prevented by
sickness or other sufficient cause from per-
sonally signing the address, but asking me to at-
tach their names, and often enclosing a list of neigh -
bours and friends, with a similar authority on their
behalf ; all (except a few miserable anonymous pro-
ductions, full of vulgar insult or ruffianly menace)
testifying to the good the work is doing, and encourag-
ing me to persevere it. lam happy to add that many
who have hitherto declined to sign now frankly own
that they view the proceeding in a different light, and
acknowledge the benefit which the humbler classes of
their countrymen must derive from the facilities
afforded them of enrolling themselves with a hand of
. loyal men who, loving their country, love their good
Queen too ; who, resolving to obtain justice for Ire-
land, will seek it only by constitutional means ; re-
spectfully, earnestly, I once more implore my fellow
countrymen to come forward and sign this Address."
THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER AND, TUE WORKING
CLASSES. —On Saturday the Bishop of Manchester
delivered an address at a special service on the occa-
sion of the rearing of St. Matthew's Church, Hyde-
road. At the close of the address, the main subject
of which was the conversion of St. Paul, the bishop
said he wished to say a few words to working men, of
whom a large number were present. They were
placed in awful times. The dreadful wickedness which
travelled under the name of Fe. nisrn ought
to be repudiated with disgust, loathing,r n.nt. The neglect
tliadindio•nation
by every honest and right-mind. ed so
of public worship, the fearful immoralitype and intoxica-
tion which were so widely spread,
ought for their own
and their wives' and children's sakes to be openly
and practically repudiated by them. But he had,
further, to warn them as regarded their material
prosperity. If it was true, he feared it was,
that foreign competition was likely to interfere very
seriously with our international trade_ ; if it wasw
true
e
that wood work, carpentry, and other things
brought from foreign countries at a lower price
than they could be produced here, it was time for
English workmen to be careful and look to
their own. Efforts were being made to extend educa-
tion. tie took no part in the late confe'rence, not
because he was not deeply interested in those efforts,
but because, holding a seat in the highest chamber
of the Legislature, he might be called upon to express
an opinion hereafter. He appealed to any one who
had watched his career whether he had ever been in-
different to the cause of education. He could look
btrek to a long period in which his heart's fondest
desire had been to see every person educated, self-
respecting, and God-fearing among his fellow-citizens
and fellow-countrymen. They should themselves, in
looking at the - real interest of their wives and
children, be cultivating their minds by instruc-
tion, elevating their souls by piety, and leading them
in the paths that lead to God ; and to show that they
really appreciated the dignity of the British workman.
He believed there was no one more respectable, more
truly honourable, or whom any honest man could more
completely take to his heart. As a fellow-worker, in
his sphere with them, he commended tlieso o,oughts

The proceedings at gie meeting ol RWal Geo
phical Society held on Monday were unusually attractive,
owing to the fact that an official report and a detailed
narrative of Mr. Young's expedition to Africa in search
of Dr. Livingstone were presented to the members. The
whole credit of the search, as well as its successful issue,
must be ascribed to the intrepid warrant officer who
proposed, planned, and carried out the journey,
the results of which he has had the privilege
of personally presenting. From the first, be-
lieving that the statement of the Johanna men in
reference to the fate of Livingstone was not to be relied
on, they being notorious cowards and liars, Mr. Young
was unable to rest until he had tested the value of his
conviction. So thoroughly has he done this, that none but
those who refuse to accept any proof except that
of their own actual eyesight can yet hold the
opinion that Livingstone was murdered as al-
le,-;ed. It is now demonstrated beyond the shadow
of a doubt that the great explorer had safely passed
the spot where it Wa3 asserted his career had been
violently arrested by the assassin's hand. The story pro-
mulgated by the Johanna men was that the doctor was
killed and buried near the south-western course of Lake
Nyassa, which, with its sister Lake Shirwa, lies on
the east coast over against the Mozambique Channel.
To reach this point, therefore, by doing which
the truth or falsehood of the Johanna men's tale could be
at once established, Mr. Young and the little expedition
under his command set sail from Southampton, carrying
with them a steel boat, specially designed by the above-
named officer, on the Bth of June. The steel boat, which
has done such goodly service, was so constructed that with
the greatest ease it could be taken to pieces and
packed, either on board ship or carried across
country, and re-fitted when its services were re-
quired for navigation. Pursuing his way up the Zambesi,
a river which leads by the Shire to the Lake Nyassa, Mr.
Young reached Shupanga on the 2nd of August. At this
point a man less bold and determined might have paused
to consider the advisability of proceeding, for tidings were
rife of fierce wars that were raging up the country. The
only effect these stories had on him, however, was to cause
him somewhat to deviate from his proposedcourse by sailing
a little higher up the Zambesi from the Shire's mouth to
Sam, which place V 'reached on the 6th, having then
with him, in addition to.the little baud he had taken from
England, a boat'ilTsiw of 22 nagroes, who contracted to
stick by him to the last, and who certainly did so, but in
a future period of the journey made themselves great
nuisances, being utterly useless when wanted. The
channel of the Shire, which may be called the
highway of the route, was entered by a cross
stream from Senna, and after a delay caused by
the absence of a sufficient wind, and a forced march of
ninety miles performed in the space of four days, Chibisa
was made on the 17th. Two days were given to inquiries
here, and friendly relations were established with the chief
of the tribe whose name has been given to the place. At
the moment the expedition arrived, rumours that the
Mavite and Mazite were in the vicinity, and in a warlike
attitude, spread, terror amongst the Mukololo. This
unquiet condition of the country exposed Mr. Young to
some annoyance, an army of blacks, supposing him to be
an enemy, endeavouring to stay his course. This little
difficulty surmounted, by judicious conversation and the
promise of future presents, Mr. Young, leaving the
Ajavas behind him, reached Lake Nyassa, out of the
eastern bay of which runs the Shire. On the 6th of Sep-
tember two villages were found at this point, and here it
was that the scent became very strong. The Johannamen
had affirmed in the most determined manner that
at one of these villages—Marenga—Livingstone was
buried. Of his inquiries in the village of Maponda, on the
other side, the journal kept by the- warrant officer con-
tains some most interesting and important particulars.
He had an interview with a native who had been employed
by the traveller to carry his goods at a date anterior to
that at which it was stated he was killed. Other natives
proved having seen Livingstone at the same time.
Piece after piece of evidence was forthcoming to establish
the fact that a year before the arrival of the expedition he
had passed from Makata, after staying in the neielbour-
hood for three weeks, in perfect safety. One entry in Mr.
Young's diary is to the effect that a native not only
was able accurately to describe the doctor's own
appearance, but also that of the dog which ac-
companied him. This dog, whose name was
Jitani, had a peculiarity of tail which was known to all
who had made his acquaintance. This the native spoke of,
describing- the animal as a " dog with two tails." To fur-
ther test the accuracy of his information, Mr. Young took
one of the men to the boat and showed him a " breech.
loader" and another gun. The man immediately stated that
the person of whom he spoke was possessed of similar articles.
A Prayer-book, with Livingstone's name, and a scarf, given
to an old woman, were produced for Mr. Young's inspec-
tion. He also found amongst the natives some Seidlitz
powders and other medicines, some of which he has
brought back with him. Added to all the above testi-
mony was the assurance of the chief at Marenga
that he had tidings of the traveller for a whole
month after lie left in the northward path.
The Johanna men, it must be borne in mind, had
returned through the village after two days' march with
Livingstone. After spending twenty days in visiting the
vicinities of Lake Nyassa, Mr. Young left on the 20th
of September, assured that Livingstone had gone forward
northward on his journey in safety.

We have to record the death of Caroline Eliza-

The first attempt to desecrate churchyards by
the erection of memorial crosses in honour of the men
executed at Manchester has been promptly put down by
the Irish constabulary. A cross was put up in the
graveyard of Rathowen by, as the Weekly News states,
the Roman Catholic inhabitants ; but it was immediately
pulled down and cut to pieces by a constable, while an
officer and some members of the forca stood by to protect
him.

The magistrates of Limerick have fined a sub-

FRA.UDS IN BANKRUPTCY. —The wholesale City
tea-dealers have instituted a prosecution, under the Bank-
ruptcy Act of 1861, against certain recent bankrupts who
have been obtaining goods to a large amount, no less than
£2.000, fradulently. The 221st of the Act makes it an
offence for any trader within three months of the filing of
his petition to have obtained any goods upon credit, other-
wise than in the bond fide transactions of his regular trade
or business. The two persons accused, Messrs. Hannah
and Patterson, have, it is alleged, carried on a systematic
scheme of fraud in contravention of this clause. The case
has been partly heard at the Mansion House, and the pri•
soners remanded.

A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON FEMALE ATTIRE.
—The Rev. Dr. Goss, Roman Catholic Bishop of Liver-
pool, has followed the example set by his Holiness the
Pope in censuring the extravagant style of attire adopted
by the fair sex of the present day. Ladies, said the
bishop, were accustomed to have a large ball stuck on the
backs of their heads, formed of the hair of deceased per-
sons generally. Now, "dead hair" did not preserve its
colour, and one had only to look at the first lady they met
to detect the difference between the real and the sham
article. His own attention was first called to the abomi-
nations by noticing the difference of colour they exhibited;
but such was the fondness of the ladies for these shams
that he could quite believe the account he had read in a
French paper (while travelling from Vichy to Paris) of a
French lady who flew into a violent rage when a man,
seeing her chignon had been set in a flame by a spark from
a railway engine, had torn it off her head, and con-
sickraielY qiinsiahed the conalmatible DAN qt Wee hair.
