NHS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate cost. the advantages of a comfortable and

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this Schoo. passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s Coliege in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passec. pupilsat a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educa ional advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care aad oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish. ment,

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff o* four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.

Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses.

Sin Avex. Campreit has taken pessession of the Militia Departmont. Hon. John O'Connor will remove to the Post Office De- partment to-day.

Tre Peruvian and Bolivian forces in the province of Tarapaca are rumored to have been surrounded by Chilians and forced to surrender.

Lorp Ramsay is the Libera] candidate for Liverpool in the English House of Com- inons, and, it is thought, will have the sup- port of Lord Derby in the contest.

Tus Deputy Minister of Justice has gene to Halifax to act as counsel in the Dominion railway case of the Windsor & Annapolis and Western Counties cempanies.

THe Marquis of Lorne will arrive in Halifax at noon next Friday and will be the guest of His Honor Lieutenant Governor Archibald. H. R. H. the Princess Leuise will arrive by the Sarmatian probably on Saturday, and, to- gother with her suite, will be tie guest of the the Lieut.-Governor. No decided arrange- ments, as to the landing, reception, etc., have as yet been made, but the one suggested, and which seems to be looked upon the most faver- ably, is that the Royal party land at the Queen’s wharf, instead of at the Dock Yard.

THE Princess Louise, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh and suites, arrived at Liverpool by special train at 2.30 p. m., on the 22nd inst., and at once preceeded in the Mayer's carriage to the landing stage, where the tender was in wait- ing to convey the Royal party on board the Sarmatian. The embarkation was effected at 3o’clock. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh took leave of the Princess and the steamer proceeded to sea at four o'clock, amidst the cheers of the thousands who crowded the stage and pier head to wit- ness her departure.

‘Tus United States Consul at Sheffield, Eng- land, transmits the annual report of the trade of that district. He says: ‘‘A remarkable decrease in the file trade is noticed. In 1873 the value of the files sent to the United States was $650,741; in 1875,$197,906; in 1878, $71,- 049; in 1879, $54,871. A workmans’ emigra- tion society has been formed in Sheffield for the dissemination of information on the sub- ject. The imports of American food products are enormous. The poor fund of $60,000 was dispensed by the Mayor !ast winter, and the prespects are not favorable to any diminution in the wants of the people during the coming winter. The substitution of American hard ware for English in the Australian and other markets is having a serious effect on the Sheffield trade. In some of the coionies British manufacturers of steel and iron, are driven out by America.”

Our English fyles inform us of the fact that Miss Rodgers, a cousin of Richard Cobden, outstripped all ther students in Greek and Latin in the last examinations, at Oxford University. She was equally successful in the other branches. After her examination was concluded, she was appointed lecturer in Somerville Hail, which is one of the Oxford buildings for lady students. This isan evidence of the mental abilities of women, when given equal opportunities with the sterner sex. Those students whe felt inclined to despise Miss Rodgers, if there were any such, have been taught a lesson which we hope will not be lost on them. We heartily con- gratulate the fair candidate on her success, and trust nothing will occur te mar the brilliant future which is appparently be- fore her.

Tue Earl of Derby recently attended the adjourned annual meeting of the Huddersfield Chamber of Commerce. In addressing the as- seinbly on the position and prospects of Brit- ish trade, his lordship said that our industrial position at the present mement was unsatis- factory, but two circumstances in some de- gree mitigated the evil. The English nation did not suffer alone, and were not worse off than their neighbers, and probably there had never been an industrial crisis involving so little acute suffering among the poorer classes Three questions are being raised by the crisis :

—First, were we growing richer er poorer? second, the proportion which the foreign trade bore to the entire earnings of the nation? and third, was the foreign trade really falling off, or but temporarily checked? He believed the opinion cf the country was more g'eomy than the circumstances justified. Taking the revenue for years as awhele, there were conclusive evidences of advance and not de- eline. This was merely a temporary pause in what had been a perpetually growing pros- perity. It was only a check, not a falling off. After deducting the cost of raw material im- ported, one hundred and forty milliens profit remained in English hands on the export trade. British foreign trade was increasing, and material national decadence had not yet be- gun. England, being marked out for com- mercial supremacy, had nothing to fear from American and Continental cempetition, though the United States is a formidable rivai. Pro- tection would disappear from our Colonies as they grow older, and England must be cautious not to meddle with their fiscal systems pre- maturely. To improve our trade men should try to put more work into each hour; and all disputes between cavital and labor should be settled by arbitration. He warned his hear- ers against the schemes of ‘‘ promoters,” which would be numerous when trade revived ; and suggested that associations of men might intervene to protect the public in these cases, by words of warning publicly given.

Washington Letter.

Wasuinaton, D.C., Jan. 19th, 1880. It is evident that there is cropping out ‘among Republican leaders here considerable /merriment over the strife in some localities ifor the ** first blood” in the Presidential race. -Many thoughtful men ef the party are troubled about it, and de not hesitate to express their fears, unless personal quar- rels be composed. The accounts from sev- eral counties in Pennsylvania are not en- couraging te them, for they show thata very bitter contest is being waged between the Grant and anti-Grant wings of the party. The quarrels, of course, extend to Washington, since it is well understood that Senator Cameron is leading the Grant campaign, and his enemies alledge that he is making tremendous efforts to have his State declared unanimously that way. We hear from many counties that this spirit has caused a reaction, resulting in strong movements for Blaine or Sherman. Some of the shrewdest politicians in the State have lately taken grounds against a com- mittal of the delegation to Chicago in favor of any candidate. This advice has alse been sent from here not only to that State but to New York and New Jersey, where the same sort of strife bids fair to be troublesome to the Republican manage- ment. J have it from the best authority that some of General Grant’s friends have joined themselves to Senator Blaine and Secretary Sherman in requesting the State Conventions that meet early not to precipi- tate action on the candidacy, for fear of the consequences not enly upon their favorite candidates but upon the party.

I should not fail-~to note that since his latest triumph in the Maine case, Mr. Blaine’s friends feel greatly encouraged to make the fight against the alleged dictation of Carneron in the Key-Stone State, and of Cenkling in New York.

On the Democratic side the same trouble is not felt. Indeed, there seems to be a general agreement to delay all official ac- tion as long as possible. The only new thing on that side to report is the very “animated boom which Horatio Seymour has inspired in this vicinity. It is difficult to tell whether it is because certain Demo- crats love Tilden less, er Seymour more.

Congress has more of a business aspect now than it has had before, and all parties seem to think that the session may clese about the lst of May. The committees are determined to report all the appropriation bills at an early day, and to push them as rapidly as possible.

It is important, after what has developed relative to the management of Indian affairs, and the feeling against the Com- missioner, to understand how Mr. Hays can retain his present position, although it is said that Secretary Schurz is determined to protect him. The general opinion is that Commissioner Hays, as well as the Utes, must go. .

Socialism in England.

The London correspondent of the Liver- pool Post writes-as follows in regard to cer- tain extraordinary precautions that are peing taken to guard the person of the Queen :—‘‘ The appointment of an inspec- tor of police as an addition toder Majes- ty’s suite is ascribed to Mr. Cross, and Mr. Cross, in his turn, is declared to have been prempted to action by the Duke of Edin- burgh. The spectre of Socialism appears to be affecting all the Royal. heads. For many years now the Royal family have happily lived conscious of security. The seutries at Windsor Castle hare had no occa- sion to suspect the existence of danger, and the Yeoman of the Guard have become mere picturesque supplements of royalty. No one has feared anything ; the Queen has gone abroad almost daily, un- attended by anyone beyond a lady- in-waiting or the Princess Beatrice. But suddenly a sense of suspicion has taken possession of the Royal mind, and the pro- priety of providing protection for the Royal person has commended itself to the Home Secretary. The Heme Oilice is fully ap- prised of the presence in London of a num- ber of would-be-regicides—‘ugitives from Berlin and St. Petersburg. These persons have been tracked to London by detec- tives of the Russian and German police, and they are known, moreover, to as- sociate with the English contingent of the great Socialistic brotherhood. It is, per- haps, right to be vigilant; but I do not think the danger which besets the Em- perors of Russia aud Germany will ever reach the Queen of England.” We observe also by Lendon Truth, that the Eari of Beaconsficll has had Hugendon Manor sur- rounded by asquad of police,in consequence of certain threatening letters that he has received. We trust that all these precau- tions will soon be found to be unnecessary.

An innovation on the present system of preaching has been introduced by the Rev. G. J. Cowley Brown, of St. Edmund’s Church, Salisbury, who has commenced reading to his cengregation a course of Bishop Jeremy Tayler’s sermons, on the ground that parochial clergymen have not time to prepare a weekly sermon. The introduction of a similar practice in this country would in many cases be a vast im- pas upon present attempts, especial- y in the city churches.
