SPANISH FUNDS.

The revolution in Spain has been very favourably received
I.n financial circles. This result may have been produced
partly by the conviction that nothing could be worse than
the things that were ; but, at the same time, some of the
best commercial authorities consider that the state of
Spain has really become hopeful. It is thought, says the
Daily News, that when the new Government has settled
down, a national loan, exclusively subscribed in Spain, will
be raised, with the view of setting the finances in order
and terminating the hand-to-mouth loans which have been
the system for years. As Spaniards have always been
partial to investing in their own funds, this is not an extra-
vagant supposition. But a few years ago the Spanish
Three per Cents., which are now at 34, stood at 50. The
resources of the country are great, and there can be no
reason why the present deplorable stagnation of industry
and trade should be permanent.

CO-OPERATIVE PROGRESS.

Four years ago a dozen young persons formed a
co-operative association at Windhill, near Bradford.
They began business by buying a few groceries, and
selling them in the evening after their day's work
was over. Their first report shewed that their
numbers had increased to 33, that their capital
was £3O ss. 6d., and that they had realised a net
profit of £lB Gs. Od. on transactions to the extent
of £205 10s. _ 7d. • They have now between
800 and 400 members and a capital of
£1,500, are doing a business to the amount of
£l7O weekly, and divided last year over £3OO in
bonuses and interest. This increase of members and
of business has made it necessary for them to pull
down their barns. and build greater, and.so they have
just erected a store at a cost of £l,lOO. The opening
of it was made a holiday, and 1,000 persons walked
in procession and had tea. Some good speeches were
delivered, and working men were exhorted to invest
their money in the store instead of spending it at the
public. In the one case they double their money
and save their health; in the other they squander both
money and healtl-

FOREIGN NOTES.
TIIE SULTAN AND HIS EMPIRE.

A very, serious budget cf news comes f..um Constanti-
nople. The Sultan has been very from apoplexy for
some days, and has required tk-, services of no fewer than
ten medical men. It i., to ascertain the exact
state of his Maje'!.,y's health, because the custom is to
reveal nothil'_a onthe subject;
Sultan *would give his personal attention to the affairs of
troubled empire he had better dismiss at least nine of
his doctors. The gravity of the conspiracy to assassinate
the Turkish sovereign is not diminished by further details.
It is said that the heir to the throne, Murad Effendi, is in
disgrace with his uncle, the Sultan, and has been confined
to his residence under a close watch. One of the objects
of the plot recently discovered was to seat this prince on
the throne.

MB. lIACEORIE.

Mr. Macrorie divides with the Queen and the
" Countess of Derwentwater " the daily attention of
the public. As the Court Circular tells us from day
to day how her Majesty rode or walked out, and how
the " countess " fares beneath her tarpaulin, so they
inform us of the latest movements of a gentleman
who a year ago was like Cowper's bobbin-woman,
" scarcely heard of half a mile from home." The
latest information about this gentleman is that he
will not sail for his new residence until
December ; but as we are told also that he
will be consecrated by the Archbishop of
Canterbury in England in January, doubtless
we shall have some fresh information to-morrow.
Meanwhile our readers may like to know that the
future " Bishop of Maritzburg " was educated at
Brasenose College, and obtained the llulmean
Prize, which consists of a substantial sum of money
and a goodly shelf of books ; graduated B.A. in 1852
without honours ; was ordained priest in 1857 by the
Bishop of Oxford; was Fellow of St. Peter's College,
Radley, from 1855 to 1858 ; was curate of Deane.
Lane,ashire, from 1858 to 1860; and perpetual
curate of Wingates, Bolton-le-Moors, 1860-61, and
in the latter year was presented by the Bishop of
London to the rectory of Wapping. Subsequently
he became rector of Accrington, and although he has
not yet resigned that charge, he will preach his fare-
well sermon to his parishioners on Sunday.

GER3IANY.

It has been announced by telegraph that the military
conference of the South German States, relative to the
Federal fortresses of the dead and buried Bond, has come
to a decision. The precise result is not known, but it
appears pretty certain that the disposal of these fortresses
:las been regulated by a project drawn up by General
Beyer, the Prussian who officiates as Minister of War
and something more in the Grand Duchy of Baden.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LANDSLIP NEAR GATESHEAD
WonKirousE.—On Thursday morning it was discovered
that a landslip had taken place in the south-west corner
of the hospital garden attached to the Gateshead Work-
house. The subsidence had been caused by the presence
of some old colliery workings ; and on a close inspection
there could be traced the remains of a pit shaft, down
which the sound of water could be distinctly heard. Dur-
ing the day the shaft was ganged by the master of the
workhouse (Uolquhouu), when a depth of 40 feet was
reached, beyond which obstructions were mot with. The
mouth of the cavity is about 18 feet in diameter, and the
ground has since sunk still further in the humediato
neighbourhood.

!ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
Agonising pains.—It is gratifying to hear sufferers recount the
ease they derived when they first applied this Ointment to their
ulcers, sores, or abscesses, with which they had been afflicted
for years. Soon after its application to a bad leg or inflammatory
ulcer, it restrains tho excitement of bloodvessels and nerves,
which at once brings coolness and comfort, and furthers the
gradual deposits of healthy materials to fill up the ravages
caused by violence, debility, or disease. It expels all noxious
matters, and heals all sores soundly. It gives ease to varicose
veins, bad legs, and swellings of the feet and joints, when the
agony is almost unremitting and the pain too much for a giant's
strength.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
•ailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach."
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstanc,es, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

THE RE-ELECTION OF MINISTERS.

The opinion expressed by many Liberal journals
that the Act of Anne requiring Ministers to seek
re-election should be dispensed with, is combated by
a legal journal of high standing. Our contemporary
says it may be granted that the utility of the Act is
not often seeninpractice, but considers that the value
a law is not to be measured by the likelihood of its
being transgressed. It is a matter of constitutional
importance that we should b e governed by the statesmen
of our choice, although, perhaps, some equivalent to
the present law might be enacted which would pre-
serve its advantages while avoiding its inconve-
niences. For example, re-election within a certain
limited time after an original election might be
rendered unnecessary. The period between the issue
of the writ and the day of election might be reduced,
and the ceremony of nomination dispensed with.
The Solicitors' Journal thinks that changes such as
these would mitigate the annoyance to the candidate
and loss of time to the public, and at the same time
would preserve to us that benefit of the law, not
indeed needed at the present time, but of which we
may at some future time require the protection.

ALARMINI

ACCIDENT.

On Saturday night an accident or a most alarming
character took place on the Midland Railway near Notting-
ham, and it is estithata that upwards of forty persons
have been more or less injured, although at present there
are no deaths. It appears that the Mansfield market train
left Nottingham at half-past eight o'clock, filled with
passengers, and at a crossing near the latter town it, came
into collision with a train of empties returning from Ches-
terfield, Piebridge, and other places. A fearful disaster
was the consequence. Both engines -were thrown off the
line, with a large number of carriages, many of which
were completely smashed. The drivers and firemen, named
respectively Bradford, Dafton, Gilbert, and Adams, re-
ceived frightful injuries, and it is perfectly miraculous how
they escaped with their lives. Many of the passengers
were also dreadfully bruised and shaken, and several have
sustained broken arms and legs. Great consternation
prevailed at the time, and it was with great difficulty that
the passengers were removed from the damaged carriages.
some of the injured persons were conveyed to the
Nottingham General Hospital, and others to their homes
where many of them now lie in great suffering,

THE JUSTICESIIIP OF APPEAL.

According to the Solicitors' Journal, Lord
ITatherley, on behalf of the new Government, has
addressed a letter to Lord Cairns, pressing him
strongly to accept the vacant Lord Justiceship of
Appeal in Chancery. In doing this, it is stated
that the new Lord Chancellor has represented to the
noble lord that such an arrangement need not in the
slightest degree interfere with Lord Cairns's pre-
sumable hostility, in the House of Lords, to the
policy of the Liberal Government. Our contem-
porary, while unable to offer the slightest conjecture
as to the answer which will be returned, thinks that
it would be very desirable to have Lord Cairns again
upon the bench in the equity courts. In the event
of his declining to fill the office, the vacant seat
would, as we have before stated, be probably filled by
Vice-Chancellor Giffard.

LITERARY PENSIONS.

Are literary pensions granted on any system P If
not, the Queen's Bounty seems rather to be running
to waste. There was, for instance, announced some
time back a pension of £lOO a year to Mr. Neilson,
a " gallery " reporter of the Times. But he was still
at work, and gaining a competence. The proprietors
of the Time very properly interfered. Then there is
Mrs. S. C. Hall, whose husband is still in full work.
On what principle is £lOO a year given to her ?
Gerald Massey writes, compiles, and lectures as well
as ever, and yet he is thought worthy of another
hundred. The correspondent of the Elgin Courant
gives us "the other side " :—" There is old Janet
Hamilton, the Coatbridge poetess, as wonderful a
woman as any in Scotland, put to one side with a
miserable £5O of a gratuity ; and she, 75 years
old, stone blind, and a true poetess ! There is poor
old Murdo Young, our countryman—once a power
as editor of the Sun, a prime mover in the
Reform and Anti-Corn-Law battles—a man who has
spent and been spent in literature ; and now at 85 he
is dependent on the casual earnings of his girls as
magazine contributors, and the poor broken-down
old man himself is trying to earn something by
elaborating a new system of shorthand. Why
should not he be a pensioner ? Then there are the
widow and children of poor John Macintosh, from
Inverness, living in abject poverty." Surely to those
who want it money should be given.
