visit of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to the
Duke and Duchess of Manchester at Kimbolton Castle was
brought to a close on Saturday, the festivities having been
throughout of avery brilliant and successful character. The
present stay of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sand-
ringham House is expected to close this week, their Royal
Highnesses returning to town for the season, although
they will probably pass a few days in Norfolk, during the
Easter recess.

The Earl of Derby, who is recovering front his
attack of gout, is still so weak that ho will be unable to
come to town for the meeting of Parliament.

The Earl and Countess Spencer leave town to.

Badminton.

The Countess Dowager of Kinnoull has arrived
at her mansion, in Belgra.ve-square, for the season.
Viscount Hamilton has recovered from his in-
disposition, and has gone to Dublin, to join his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Marchioness of
Abercorn.

MELANCHOLY FATE OF A POLICEMAN.—It may
be remembered that, while the inquest was pending on

road, at three o'clock in the morning, and wounded in
tho thigh, as well as badly wounded about the head by his
assailant. The unfortunate mau is now reported as hope-
lessly insane, consequent upon the injuries to his head.
He has been sent to Stamford, in Lincolnshire—an idiot
for the rest of his life.

VAGARIES OF. MR. TRAIN.

J

Mr. G. P. Train has been lecturing in the ancient town
of Youghal, so long represented in Parliament by Mr.
Butt, Q.C. The "distinguished visitor," as a Cork paper
designates him, was met at the railway station by a large
bo,aly of the inhabitants, and escorted to the Assembly
Rooms, where he received an enthusiastic reception from a
densely-packed audience. He has had, indeed, crowded
audiencesem every occasion, although the prices charged
for admission have been high ; his " sympathy with the
Irish peeple is, therefore, turnng, out a very profitable
aflair for him, and certain of the " patriotic " in Cork are
evidently beginning to think that Mr. Train cares more
about the Celtic half-crowns than he does of the woes,
imaginary or real; of those who are so quickly filling his
pockets. He commenced his lecture with the modest asser-
tion that nt the moment ho was speaking "there possibly
was cheering in a hundred halls all over America for
Ireland." One of the audience here broke in with the
e:111, " Three &eel's for General Washington," on which
Mr. Train informed him " that Washington had been
dead many years; but that, if he had not succeeded, he
would have been considered a rebel." Another of his
sympathetic auditors here shouted forth, " The same as
we are," and was rewarded for this expression of dis-
loyalty by a round of applause. Such incidents as these
seem to nonplus Mr. Train for the moment, but he soon
recovers himself. Bravely as he talks now and then, he
clearly does not want to put himself within the reach of the
law. A letter which he read from a Youghal man who has
returned from America on a pension—he lost his leg in
some action there—enabled Mr. Train to speak in fulsome
fashion of Irish bravery. His own programme for this
country, he stated, was "no breaking of the law, no
shooting with pistols, no seizure of martello towers ; but
something nobler, erander—a demand of Ireland's rights
from the British Minister." Mr. Train here dropped
the thread of his discourse to express his determi.
nation to speak in St. James's Hall after leaving
IrCland, and to call to account the English mem-
bers of Parliament who had dared to insult him
six years before. The audience soon seemed to be tired
of Train, and one of the number called out, "What about
your claim on the British Government for £lO,OOO ?" when
he replied that he had sent it in and received the following
reply :

" Foreign Office, Feb. 4, 1868.

Sir,—l am directed by Lord Stanley to acknowledgo
the receipt of your letter of the 31st ultimo, enclosing a
printed paper.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble
servant, " S. HAMMOND.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supplies of the principal kinds of stock this morn-
ing were rather short., and the tone of the trade was firm
without being very brisk.

The number of beasts on sale was 3,460, including 1,966
English, 461 Scotch, 280 Irish, and 750 foreign. For the
better kinds there was a fair demand, but prices tended
against sellers for middling kinds.
Of sheep the supply was 16,480, including 1,260 from
abroad. The mutton trade was firm, with good sale, and
prices rather higher.
The number of calves on sale was 106, of which 100
were foreign.
The veal trade was brisk at advanced rates.
Fork sold at unaltered prices. The number of pigs on
sale was 860, of which 10 were from abroad.

CiANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
A..? Gold'Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and " BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, andshould
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed,
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drc.ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to
be used.
" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

The intelligence which the City of Baltimore
brinas us from the United States is not altogether
satisfactory. The disorganised condition of the
Southern States, more especially of the Carolinas,
is becoming painfully visible, and there aro some
grounds for apprehending that the differences exist-
ing between rival parties and races will not be con-
fined to words. At Raleigh, North Carolina, a
Democratic State Convention has been held, at-
tended by a large number of negro Democrats, who
were threatened wit h,violence by the Radical negroes.
Order was, however, preserved by the military. In
South Carolina the aspect of affairs is still more
threatening. The negroes in the interior of the
State are incensed at the action of Governor SCOTT
in vetoing certain Radical members of the Legisla-
ture. They are reported to be arming and
threatening the Democratic whites and negroes. A
collision between the rival parties of negroes is very
much to be deprecated, as it would probably lead
to further complications. If the dominant party in
Congress bad not so obstinately perpetuated the
disorganisation of the South we should
have less reason to apprehend an out-
break. They have disheartened the well-
disposed among the educated classes, who
might have exerted themselves to restore order and
to reconcile the people to the restoration of the old
form of Government. They have flattered and
excited the blacks, who needed to be:sobered down
after the great change which they bad undergone ;
and, worse than all, the policy of the Radicals ren-
dered the Southern States the area for the action of
designing agitators who make politics a trade, and
with whom the public interest is always subservient
to their own personal aggrandisement or temporary
advantage.
The Southern States have lost one of their
most resolute and bitterest foes, and the
new session of Congress will meet without one
of the best•known figures in the capital. The
funeral of Tu ADDEUS STEVENS has been celebrated
in Washington, though his remains are to be in-
terred in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with which State
his name is most associated. We can hardly hope
that BUTLER will have learned moderation, but he
has not the weight with his party which STEVENS
had, and therefore there are grounds for the belief
or expectation that henceforward a more conciliatory
policy may be adopted towards the ex-Confederate
States, and that their " reconstruction" may be no
longer so completely a matter of form.

Among the many living things likely to bo bene-
fited by the extension of knowledge, we hope
henceforward to be able to reckon the seagull.
Science often demands its victims, and the prose-
cutors of scientific inquiry have not always been as
numerous as they have been intelligent and obser-
vant ; nevertheless, we find that the sense of
humanity on the whole has marvellously dev4oped

A WELSH PUBLICAN'S HUMANITY.

An adjourned inquest has been held at the County Hall,
Dolgelly, by Mr. Griffiths Jones Williams, coroner for
the county of Merioneth, upon the body of. David Jones,
aged 58, carrier, of Dowlais, who died on the previous
Tuesday from the effects of a fall over a wall on the
turnpike-road leading from Dolgelly to Bala. The
inquiry had been adjourned from the previous Wednesday
in order that Mr. Howell Jones, the landlord of the
Howell dda Inn might attend, it being stated by some of
the witnesses that the deceased, in a dying and exhausted'
condition, having lain in the place where he was found for
nearly thirty-six hours, was refused admittance to the inn
because the lord-lieutenant (Lord Moatyn) and his brothel
(the lion. Pryc3 Lloyd) were staying at the house. In
summing up, the coroner said that this was the most
painful and distressing case that bad ever been inquired
into before him during his long experience as coroner
for the county. He considered that there was a great
deal of blame attached to Howell Jones for his treatment
of the deceased. It was the most cruel thing that he (the
coroner) had ever heard of to refuse admittance to a man
who had been found as the deceased was, and who had
evidently lain out, in much pain and suffering, all night
and the greater part of the following day. It was horrible
to think that any human being should be so treated in a
Christian country. At Dolgelly, again, it was shown that
they had a great deal of trouble to get the man lodgings.
He thought the deceased had been very badly treated indeed.
He wished such inhuman persons could be reached by the
law and treated as they deserved. The jury, he hoped,
would append such words to their verdict as would teach
such people, if possible, to treat their fellow men in a
more humane way for the future. The jury returned the
_following verdict :—" We find that the deceased died from
concussion of the brain, caused by a fall ; and we wish
als ) to add, that we are of opinion that the deceased

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
. EFFECT UAL 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.

matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
