HIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thorough and refined e lucation. The course of Instruction is the same as that of she best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Worn. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is tae only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination. The number of pupils is limited, rendering the Schcol select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public schoel, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish. ment, Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters. : Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally.

During 40 years there has been no occasion when the Viceroy has failed to attend. Even when O’Cennell was Lord Mayor and antagonizing the Government the Viceroy attended.—Hx. Herald. A Srormy Prosprcr.—The approaching session of the British Parliament is regarded with much anxiety. It certainly will be stormy. It is asserted by the Liberals that ere it continues a fortnight the Govern- ment may be compelled to either resign or dissolve. The Government party sneer at the threats of the Liberals. A Constantinople correspordent says the English newspaper there has been suspended for criticizing the recent honors bestowed on Haviz Pasha, Minister of Police. The printing office has been closed by a force of police. The latter act isin violation of the terms of capitulation. The Porte will be called to account. Drorrep Drap.—A man named John Mad- den, about 50 years of age, a liquor dealer on Grafton Street, dropped dead, while cleaning some glasses in his shop, at five o'clock yester- day evening. He was one of the Crimean heroes, and was discharged from the 63rd dur- ing their stay here. His body was removed to to the Morgue, and an inquest will be held some time this morning. —Hxz. Herald, A Liverpoo.t, N. 8., despatch of the 2lst January says: ‘‘ Up to date there are no tid- ings of the missing schooner ‘ Freedom,’ pre- viously reported missing. Her crew consisted of Howard P.

A Warwyixc To THosk wHo vse CLay Prets.—An eccentric old character, familiarly known as ‘‘Billy” Maxwell, was buried in Carleton yesterday. Death was the result of a coasting accident, (that oceurred about four years ago,) and poisoning. ‘‘ Billy” was enticed to get on a ‘‘double runner” one night by some young gentlemen who were out for an evening’s enjoyment. The sled upset in the descent, and the coasters were, of course, thrown off. The old man was acci- dently cut about the face and mouth. Before the wound on his lip had healed, he smoked an old biack pipe—the pride of his old age-- which poisoned the sore, and after terrible suffering he died from its effects. He was for many years care-taker of the various graveyards iu Carleton, and in that connec- tion had quite a history. —St. John Globe, 28th. Mriuirary Scuoot.—The Cadets have per- formed and explained in drill from section 1 to section 54, also manual and firing exer- cises, and have been instructed by the Drill Instructor, Capt. McKenzie, in the bayonet exercise and position drill; also guard mount- ing in all its branches. Company drill, as far as section '1, was performed yesterday, and in a few days’ time the Cadets will be in- structed in battalion drill. The only draw- back the Instructor has is the small number attending the school, on account of the non- attendance of candidates from Nova Scotia and P. E. Island. ‘The staff of the school would like to have the qualified officers and nou-commissioued officers of the various corps in St. John attend, for the purpose of bat talion drill, as the number of cadets is in- sufficient, and by such officers or non-com- missioned officers attending, the battalion drill could be carried out to the advantage of all who attend. There is no objection to the public visiting the school.—St. John Sun, A CASE of gross imposition on the charity of the public has been exposed in Montreal. A woman and her daughter, giving the name of Fisher, represented that the former was a a widow with a family of eleven children, four being twins, and that they were in abject want of the necessaries of life. On their case beinz made public through the ‘‘ Witness,” a number of people visited the house where they resided, and on being admitted, found every appearanee of poverty. Of course, relief in plenty poured in until a ser geant of police, acting on information, called at the house with a reporter and found that the woman's husband was alive and was engaged as a mechanic at the works of the Grand Trunk, earning good wages. The room in which the benevolent were received by the imposter, was bereft of almost all fur- niture and made to look as miserable as pos- sible, whilst the rest of the house was well and comfortably furnished. When the police officcr visited the place he found a large store of provisinsin the house, which were prompt- ly received as the result of the appeal to the public. The real name ofthe parties is Lucy. Another American girl is to marry a nobleman. Why is it that American girls refuse to support their own countrymen } There is a lack of patrictiom somewhere. NER. oe anna Ct Lt LLL OL A et NO. 61 The Obstructionist’s Programme. The English Conservative journals of the 26th ult., contain editorial articles, severely criticizing the utterances of Hon. John Bright in his Saturday night speech. His evident design was to conciliate the Home Rulers and Liberals, and he was exceeding- ingly severe in depicting the deplorable re- sults of the alleged British misrule in Ire- land. His denunetations were very violent, excelling those of Parnell and other agita- tors. itis speech is believed to sound. the key-note of the obstructienists’ policy in Parliament, which will be vigorous and and united opposition te the false foreign and feeble and vaccillating domestic policy of the Government. ‘he reception likely to be accorded to Mr. Parnell in Parliament is being discussed by his friends here. It is not believed that the series of speeches he is delivering in the United States will add to his popularity at home. The Home Rulers assert that he talks teo loosely, and many of his utterances are’ injudicious, to say the least. Mr. Bright, at Birmingham on the 25th ult., suggested to Parliament to appoint a commissien to go to Dublin, with power to sell the farms of landlerds te tenants willing to buy, and to advanee three-fourths of the purchase money, principal and interest to be repaid in 35 years. Such a measure, Mr. Bright believed, would meet the de- sires of the Irish peeple. The commission should assist the tenant to buy whenever the landlord was willing to sell. Hw recom- mended a compulsory measure only where land is owned by London companies, as is the case with large tracts near Londonderry. He expressed a conviction, if his plan was ever adopted, that self interest or public opinion would soon compell individual land- lords to sell to tenanss. a a 2 An Act for the Care of Habitual Drunkards. The act passed recently by the British Parliament, relating to the treatm of habitual dramkards, came into force/@t the beginning of the year and is to remain in force for ten years unless previously repeal- ed. The measure is considered of some im- portance by the advecatés of Temperance in Great Britain, where the “‘ licensed vic- tuallers” are the ruling power, and the slightest concessien to the wishes of the other side is thankfully received. An Eng- lish paper explains that : ‘‘ Under this Act places for the reception of habitual drunk- ards, called retreats, may be licensed by ae sone of State, the stamp duty pay- able on the license being £5, with 10s. ad- ditional for every heieae aes the num- ber of 10, which they are licensed to re- ceive. An “‘ habitual drunkard” is defined te be a person who, not being a lunatic, is, by reasen of habitual intemperance, at times dangerous to himself or others, or incapable of managing himself or his affairs. Such persons may be admitted to a licensed ‘retreat’ on their own written applica- tion, which must be attested by two wit- nesses. The length of their stay in the re- treat is limited to 12 months, or such less period as they may specify in their applica- tion. Once received into a retreat, ithe ‘* patients’—as they may now be called— are subject to all the rules of the establish- ment, such rules to be made by the Secre- tary of State or approved by him. The Secretary of State has discretionary power to revoke licenses or to cancel leaves of ab- sence ; and he may also appoint inspectors of retreats, with power to discharge pa- tients and to inspect retreats at least twice a year, and report annually.” Aid for Ireland. The following is the appeal of the Irish Relief Committee at Dublin to the people of the United States :— “We beg you will permit us to make this appeal through the medium of your news- paper. it is now admitted that the dis- tress is of an acute and exceptional char- acter, certain to involve actual starvation if extraneous aid be not promptly and liber- ally forthcoming. It exists over wide dis- tricts of Ireland. This distress daily in- creases in area and in its intensity—so much so that it seems almost impossible to avert, until the next harvest, an absolute famine in very many places. Every effort is being made in Ireland itself, as well by local as by central relief committees, to mitigate the calamity; but, owing to the general commercial and agricultural de- pression and to the widespread character of the distress, those efforts have proved totally inadequate to meet the crisis. We, therefore, appeal with confidence to all Irishmen and al! friends of Ireland for aid in our efforts to save the people from des- truction. Already munificont donations, or promises of assistance, have reached us from several parts of the United States, from Australia and elsewhere. ‘‘We feel that we have only to make known the sad position of the Irish peo- ple to ensure everywhere a generous re- sponse. We would point to the constitu- tion ef our committee, which comprises re- presentative men of the highest character and position in the eountry, and of all creeds and politics, both as an assurance that this appeal is justified, and that any funds entrusted to us shall be distributed in the manner best calculated to meet the emergency. It will be seen, from the resolutions we append, that this cen- tral committee distributes its relief through local committees, of which the clergy of all denominations in the district and the Poor Law medical officers must be members, and requires that relief shall be given only im kind and not in money.”
