AGRICULTURE. THE WET WEATHER AND THE HEALTH OF HORSES. Notwithstanding the dripping weather of the past two months, the health of horses throughout the country is particularly good. Horses have certainly a great dislike to much wet. It seems more trying to them than dry cold. It has often required the reminder of whip or spur to make the horses face the sharp driving rains which have abounded of late. Fortunately the ever-recurring persistent rains have been unaccom- panied by cold. Had the two evils been joined, sick- ness and mortality must have been rife. Diseases, especially of the respiratory organs, must have widely prevailed. From all descriptions of work, whether it be in the hunting field, in the carriage, as a hack, or on the farm, horses come in more than usually weary. The land and roads are alike heavy. Hunting excepting along the lanes and roads, has been dreadfully heavy work in many arable counties horses have got used up in enormous numbers; pumped out as they lumbered toiling along over the soft, saturated ploughed land, many a good hunter has not had wind enough left to rise to his fences never were spills more numerous, never was judgment and quiet caution more required to ensure a good place. The wet, muddy, and newly- repaired roads augment the friction of the wheels, and vehicles of all kinds more heavily. The wet soil clings to the mould-board of the plough, the farm horses come in with a pound or more of mother earth adhering to their legs. Besides these increments to labour, when the air is laden with moisture, perspiration is not, as it should be, rapidly dried off; this is especially the case if the animals have long coats checked perspiration soon embarrasses most of the vital functions more work being thus thrown on the lungs. Horses in close damp weather, such as has lately prevailed, blow and got distressed more easily than usual. Some extra care and attention must be bestowed upon horses, if they are to retain their health and condition during such a long period of wet as we are passing through-we wish we could put the matter in the past tense. It is of great importance that the skin be maintained in a healthy state. The horse, from hard work, wet, steaming, and tired, must at once receive attention. Let us only consider what an enormous amount of heat must be abstracted from an exhausted beast who has to find fuel to drive off for himself the wet which from without and within stands for hours in dank and disagreeable abundance on his ungroomed hide. Permitted to stand thus miserable and shivering, the horse runs great risk of catching a bad cold, of be- ing down without rheumatism, pleurisy, congestion of the lungs, or other chest complaint, or of falling from farcy, glanders, or purpnra. With careless, inefficient, lazy stablemen or horse keepers, hard-worked horses at any time appear out of sorts, and are subject to all manner of ailments. During a protracted period of wet stormy weather the evil is greatly aggravated. We know at present of several stables in London where large studs of horses have recently failed from influenza and sore throats; many have become farcied, and nearly a tenth of the whole stud has been dispatched to the knackers, most of them with acute glanders. In ad- jacent stables the health of the occupants has been tolerably good. These particular losses have been dis- tinctly traceable to the inattention or inexperience of the stable managers, and their not having the horses promptly and carefully attended to on their return from work. In the case of a stud of twenty omnibus horses an unusually high rate of sickness and mortality, was produced by the horses working regularly throughout the bad weather along several miles of rough, heavy, newly Macadamised road. In London, Liverpool, and other towns, as well as in various country localities, and amongst some of the troop horses at Aldershott, the wet and sludge have produced many cases of that irritation of the skin popu- larly known as mud fever." The minute particles of grit and dirt adhering to the skin, particularly of clipped or singed horses, causes tenderness, itching, roughness, and even in some instances an erruption under the belly, down the inside of the legs-wherever in fact the skin is thin and delicate and exposed to the contact of the irritating mud. Fomentations, careful removal of any embarkened dirt, and a few dressings of any soothing lubricant will remove the malady. More careful grooming should prevent its recurrence. The wet season is further prolific of cracked heels. Standing in damp and dirt, hurriedly washed to clean away filth, or walked in the old-fashioned plan through the brook or horse-pond, and left subsequently undried, the heels are apt to be chilled the skin accordingly becomes weakened it is tender and sore; by-and-bye it cracks and inflames, and the steed is lame. A few days' rest, and poulticing, followed by daily dressings of carbolic acid and oil, or any gentle astringent, are the usual remedies. From the same causes-wet and dirt- fKrno V ? n?n.?r ) Th<?v dpmand fnr their alleviation and cure careful attention (\öJå\lIfseil iJl8rJtJm causing lameness, a dose of physic and a few days' mash diet will be desirable daily alternate dressings of calomel and carbolic acid will greatly expedite re- covery. To prevent these troublesome ailments and afford reasonable comfort to the hard-worked nag exposed to wet winter weather, whenever he returns from his day's severe fast work, he should have his feet and legs dressed, and then be washed or sponged over either with cold or tepid water; every particle of adhering dirt or scurf being scrupulously removed the whole body will then be wisped over until be is perfectly dry. His ears should be pulled and dried; any clothing allowed is then put on and, if such luxuries are per- mitted, woollen bandages are loosely rolled round the legs, so as to ensure their being thoroughly dried. Heavy draught animals deserve very similar treatment. With a good wisp and willing arm, the wet, dirt, and accumulated perspiration should be cleared away, and the horse got properly dry before be is left for the night. It is to facilitate this drying that we inveigh every autumn against long coats, and adviso even in the case of farm horses, early housing, a liberal dietary, good grooming, and, if need be, clipping or singeing to keep the coat fine, and the skin free to perform its important functions.
FRANCE AND BELGIUM.I
FRANCE AND BELGIUM. I The Belgian Railway Bill which has given such offence in Paris was passed by the Senate on Saturday. From the full report of the debate and the division list in yesterday's Brussels papers it appears that thirty- six senators voted for the bill and seven abstained from voting. There was not a single No." M. Frere, the Minister of Finance, in defending1 the bill, said the Government were bound to let their senti- ments respecting it be known, inasmuch as it was mi- understood, not only by journals which made it their daily practice to libel Belgium, but in different and higher quarters. The substance of the accusation brought against the Belgian Government was that it had taken the present step in deference to the wishes of a foreign Power. Supposing that had been so, we should (the Minister said)—forgetting all our duties, mistaking our dearest interests-have taken part in a miserable intrigue, and for what ? What (said M. Frere) could have resulted from it to us I have not the honour of knowing M. Bismarck I have never seen him but once in my life, and then only accidentally in a salon in the palace, surrounded by the crowd; M. Bismarck accompanied the King of Prussia on his return from Paris. I know him only by his acts, which belong to history. M. Bismarck is said to be hiding behind us in order to realize I know not what offensive design towards France. But if any one could entertain the thought of making us the instru- ments of such acts, we should know what was the answer to be made. The role of Belgium is so clearly traced in Europe, that role is so simple, so natural, and so loyal, that it would be folly to wish to alter it. That role has been traced by the treaties. Belgium ought to entertain a kindly feeling for all. She has practised that policy loyally and constantly. From the day that she was constituted an independent State she has fol- lowed the same wise, honest policy-a policy agreeable to her duties and her interests. For twenty-two years I have had the honour of being miyed up with the affairs of the country, and never in the twelve years I have been in the same place has any act of foreign policy been censured. And it is towards France that we are said to have inaugurated a policy unworthy of us France, to whom we are bound by so many obliga- tions of gratitude. Our relations with France have been constantly friendly. There are difficulties inevi- table between Governments, but these difficulties, so far as we have been concerned, have always been solved in the wisest spirit. The Minister then entered into the commercial rea- sons on which the Bill is based, and concluded with the remark :—" The Bill has been received as we hoped it would be We cannot be divided on such a question We arc all diposed to unite for the defence of Belgian interests. The Indepcndance Beige of last night, in an article on the debate and the division, says that the quasi-unani- mity of the Senate 18 due entirely to the French jour- Bilh. No member (bred to vote against the bill for fear of bring accused of yielding to foreign pressure. For itself, the Indipcndan'je doubts much whether the coun- i tn' has any reason to congratulate itself on the haste with which the Bill has become law, but it was the inevitable consequence of the attacks of journals which are supposed (wrongly no doubt) to represent the views of a neighbouring Government.

Lord Dufferin has been finally chosen to succeed Lord do < irey as chairman of the Loyal Commission on Military Education, and General Lardley Wilmot, of the Koval Artillery, takes the place of General Lefroy. The cmini-i .ri will probably meet to resume its inquiries carly this week. A considerable fall of snow occurred in London on Monday morning, but the temperature was not cold enough for it to remain on the ground. The reports from the meteorological office show that the fall has not I been goneral, and tho forecasts are now in favour of fine weather.

Sandiford, the Lord Lieutenant has intimated that it is not his inten- tion to fill up the vacancy pending the measures to come before Parliament relative to the Irish Church. The Bishop of Limerick has therefore appointed the incum- bent of the adjoining paiish on the maiu land to per- form the services in Valentia. Among the dacons ordained by the Bishop of Oxford on Sunday was Shapurji Edulji-a Parsee, it may be presumed. In India there are a good many native clergymen, but Mr Edulji has not been set apart for the evangelization of his fellow-countrymen. He takes his place among the clergy of England, and is at this moment curate of Burford and Fulbrook, not many miles from Oxford itself. A movement has been set on foot by a section of the Evangelical party against the introduction of music and painted windows in churches. In order to carry out the object a sum of money has been givin for a prize essay, and the adjudicators appointed are the Dean of Ripon (Dr McNeile), the Rev C. J. Goodhart, rector of Wetherden, and Dr. Adair Crawford. As stated last week, the rectory of St. Mary, New- ington, value between S3,000 and £4,000 per annum, is vacant by the death of the Rev A. C. Onslow. We are informed that although the living is ordinarily in the gift of the Bishop of London, the right of presenta- tion in the present instance lapses to the Prime Minister. Bishop Jackson did homage to the Queen on Saturday the 6th inst., the day of the Rector's death but the Great Seal, in the confirmation of her Majesty's ap- proval, had not been affixed, consequently the patronage is in the hands of the Crown. The Rev Alfred Cay, the curate in charge at the time of Mr Onslow's death was transferred by Bishop Tait from the charge of St. George's-in-the-East to his present charge of St. Mary, Newington, some seven years since. The new Bishop of London (Dr Jackson), in an address to his clergy, delivered at Sion College this day week, gave great offence by complaining of the unchari- tableness and savagery of what he called not the religious, but the Church press." He did not, however, ascribe the mischief of it to the writers, but rather to the readers. If they were not sold, they would not be written, and the inference was that the great mass of the persons who bought them were not displeased with their uncharitable misrepresentations." The evil of this is, that scandal is provided for the worldly and unbelieving, who, taking for granted what they read, despise what they call the love and charity of Chris- tians." We don't see any fair ground of offence in the remark no doubt, a quiet literary malice is a great temptation to all ecclesiastical minds, whether in news- papers or out of them. Did not Sidney Smith himself, answer, when he was asked, after a serious illness, how he felt, "just strength enough to stick a knife into a Dissenter ?" and no doubt poorly Ritualists, and poorly Evangelicals, and poorly Broad Churchmen feel similarly,—in a literary way,—towards one another and sometimes, perhaps, malice in the literary way leads to malice in earnest, and then the Bishop is right. But the criticism to which he seems to us to be open, is that ho is so much toore afraid of the worldly and un- believing', seeing our little sins than of the sins them- selves. That, we confess, does not seem to us of great moment. Suppose the Church papers never let out that we carp at one another, would the worldly and un- believing" be taken in by us We suspect, and hope, not. Spectator.

Baron Rothschild was on Monday declared duly elected member af Parliament for the city of London. It is stated that the Prince of Wales has taken for three years the Duke of Devonshire's villa, at Chiswick, on the loop line of the South Western Railway.

The Great Northern and Midland Railway Companies have signified their intention of discontinuing the pay- ment of church rates in consequence of the passing of the Compulsory Church Rates Abolition Act, 1868. The directors of the Monmouthshire Railway recom- mend a dividend for the half-year of 4 per cent. per annum, after payment of which a balance of about £ 7,000 would remain. THE POLICE.—It has been determined to appoint four District Superintendents of Police in the Metro- polis. The District Superintendents will be Mr Baynest now Governor of the County Prison at Winchester Mr A. C. Howard, of the Bengal Constabulary; Colonel Pearson, of the Grenadier Guards and Superintendent Walker. The District Superintendents will act in their respective districts under the orders of the Chief Com. missioner. in* Voro/Wf M. P-- crave a lecture at Brishton on Saturday evening on national education. He said that when the question of the Irish Church had been settled then national education would be the great question of the day. He intended to oppose, as resolutely as he could, any proposition in the House of Commons to levy an educational rate unless that proposition was ac- compained by another giving power to local authorities to compel the attendance of neglected children at school. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-No family should be without these Pills. Their long tried efficacy in removing in- digestion, stimulating the bowels, and purifying the blood has secured them imperishable fame throughout the world. Whatever the disease may be a few doses will relieve the more urgent symptoms, and thereafter completely control all disordered actions, rouse the torpid liver, empty the engorged spleen, cleanse the obstructed kidneys, assimilate the food, improve the blood, and thereby confer on the brain and every function healthful vigour, natural activity, and whole- some regularity. In cases of indigestion, dimness of sight, headache, mental and physical lassitude, these restorative Pills act as a charm. They expel rheuma- tism and gout, infallibly correcting complaints in- cidental to females. THE ABOLITION Of WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. — The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have decided that, having regard to the possible emergency of war with a great naval power, it is undesirable to sell her Majesty's dockyard at Woolwich, and it will therefore be accordingly retained by Government. Its inland position, proximity to London, and capabilities for building, repairing, and fitting of vessels, and manufac- ture and repair of engines, screw propellers, and boilers, with the impossibility of an enemy anchoring near or shelling the dockyard, are advantages which, in case of hostilities, cannot be parted with having due regard to the naval position of the country. The Admiralty will however, be willing to let it to a shipbuilding firm at an annual rental, subject to the condition that possession can be obtained at any time for imperial purposes on a compensation being made in respect of the sudden sus- pension of trade, cessation of employment of a large number of people, and the removal of the ships in process of building, with a view of the yard being handed over for the naval requirements of the country. THE DISSENTERS AND POPERY.-Some Dissenters, too, says the Rev. Thomas Binney, may lay to heart with manifest advantage the lessons taught them by passing events. It may be easy to argue against national establishments and the Royal supremacy, the demon- stration may be complete if the impropriety of secular legislation in religion, and in favour of unrestricted religious liberty, that the law should know no man in his religious character, that all religious bodies should be treated by the state equally and alike, and every church have a clear stage and no favour. So far as Popery is concerned, I am beginning to be suspicions of carrying this theory partially out; not, indeed, because the theory is itself erroneous, but because Popery is not a thing to which it can be applied. Popery is not simply and purely a religion. Popery is a great and mighty ecclesiastical confederacy, that desires and aims at political pre-eminence it is a terrible compact, almost physical unity, animated by a spirit of intense hatred to real liberty, civil or religiotis. It requires to be held in check by law, not because its tenets are not true, but because its heart is not to be trusted not because its creed is a corruption of the faith, but because its tendencies are inimical to freedom not because it ignores this or that church, but bccallRe it is a power dangerous to the state. It will join the Dissenter in his theoretical reasoning, when it is low, will applaud him for liberality in striving to gain for itself emancipation when it wishes to rise, will shout at times "religious liberty" and the "voluntry prin- ciple" will smile and bow, but take everything it can, and look humble, modest and demure, as long as it is necessary, to gain its ends, and when once gained, any opportunity for a spring forward, or upward, opens, it will take either with both force and ferocity, and care not if it crush, in its headlong career, the simple souls that served it in its need. The churchman may find that after all Popery is really worse than Dissent, and Dissenters may find that an Ecclesiastical Establish- ment, though an evil, may with a Protestant Church, be a less evil than stark Popery without an Establish- ment.—Copied from the Londonderry Guardian by the Record. Mr Bright has written a letter to a gentleman at Chicago on death punish ment, which is printed in the New York papers receivad by the last mail. After stating the usual arguments against capital punishment, Mr Bright says :—" If the Uuited States could get rid of the gallows, it would not stand long here. One by one we I Americanize, our instituions and I hope, in all that is good, we may not be uuwilling to follow you." Two election petitions were decided on Saturday. At Coventry Mr Eaton and Mr Staveley Hill, Q.C., were declared duly elected, while at Cashel Mr O'Beirne was unseated for bribery. To-day Mr Justice Willes opens the commission at Bodmin for the trial of the case against the return of Mr Leverson-Gower, and to- morrow the hearing of the petition complaining of the election of Mr Kinglake and Mr Vanderbyl will be commenced at Bridgwater. The Chamber of Agriculture Journal explains that Lord Robert Montagu's bill does not propose to exclude from the kingdom the imported 4,1 or 5 per cent. of meat, or, indeed, any portion of it, as dangerous, and destroy- ing in our country as much food as it brings us. He would interfere only with the live portion of the foreign supply-viz, four. fifths of the importation, or about 3 to 4 per cent, of the total meat consumption of the kingdom-and he proposes only a limitation of its ar- rival, sale and slaughter to special markets and abottoirs. One would surely suppose that the prospect of gaining 5 per cent. more meat from home sources, even at the risk (which we do not believe) of losing Ij or 2 per cent. now obtained from foreign sources, would be regarded most hopefully by consumers. We really should expect that the public of the metropolis would consider whether the establishment of a safety market, provided with every facility for receiving, resting, feeding, watering, selling, and butchering must not necessarily be an accommodation rather than a restriction for importers, and consequently a means towards increasing instead of diminishing supply." It is announced that the President of the Poor Law Board has sent a commissioner to visit France and Bel- gium for the purpose of collecting information as to the systems of poor relief followed in those countries. This is not the first time that the English Government have required of their continental neighbours what they are doing with their paupers. In 1833 Lord Palme- rston, then at the head of the Foreign Office, requested each of the foreign ministers to transmit a full report of the legal provision existing in the country in which he was resident for the support and mainten- ence of the poor; of the principles upon which such provision was founded of the manner in which it was administered of the amount and mode of raising the funds devoted to that purpose; and of the practical working and effect of the actual system upon the com- fort, character, and condition of the inhabitants." The answers to these well-framed questions, occupying some 700 or 800 folio pages closely printed, were considered at the time to constitute the fullest collection, in all probability, that had ever been made of laws for the relief of the poor. The volume contains two official re- ports from Belgium and eight from France, all of inter- est even now, especially as furnishing a measure of any changes which may have taken place in the interval. One wonders whether, for instance, the city of Antwerp can say now, as it did then, There are no vagrants (that may be called so) either in Antwerp or in the whole kingdom, and those that are found begging are arrested as vagabonds, and are prosecuted as such, ac- cording to Articles 269 to 282 of the Code Penal; and at the expiration of their penalty are conducted to the free colony of repression, if able-bodied and fit for agrieulture, or to the depots of mendicity, if invalid." The poor colonies of Holland and Belgium found able reporters, the first in Count Arrivabene, the second in Mons. Ducpetiaux, the inspector general of the prisons and charitable institutions of Belgium. Might not Lord Clarendon follow the example set by the Foreign Minis- ter in 1833 ? Without in the slightest degree anticipating the result of the strange case of Saurin v. Star, which has now been for more than a fortnight before the Court of Queen's Bench, we may refer to it as a proof of that astonishing change in popular feeling which has made such a trial possible What would have been said a couple of generations ago to an actual living Popish nun who should gravely propose to her lawyer to appeal to a British jury for redress against her spiritual superiors ? One almost rubs one's eyes to be satisfied that one is awake on reading how the rules of a convent are se- riously laid before a judge and a boxful of London middle-class men, as furnishing grounds for settling a quarrel between a lot of nuns, priests, and Jesuits. At this moment, is there any other country in Europe where such a trial would be possible? Is there any other country where the principles of religious toleration are so thoroughly interwoven with the habits of the administration of justice that the highest criminal judge can be brought to listen kindly and seriously to the by the rigours of fl houseful of wvi?" hc""? together a/-ina V > V > l oa nf by the i,-ours 0 monastic discipline ? bupernciai lookers-on may say that the proceedings in question are the natural result of religious indifference, and that, therefore, there is nothing to boast of in our case. Yet surely this is by no means an explanation of the matter. The whole spirit in which the case is conducted exhibits what we take to be the spirit of modern toleration in its best aspect. The truth or falsehood of Roman doctrine is studiously kept out of the question. The objects of Sisterhoods of Mercy, so far as it aims at the education of the poor and the consolation of the sick and miserable, is recognised as a good and deserving of all honour. And, further, the right of women to associate themselves under any regulations which they please is fully admit- ted. But, at the same time, the practical dispute between Miss Saurin and her antagonists is removed altogether into a region where sectarian differences are unknown, and leeral rÜrhts are alone considered. SUNDAY EVENINGS FOR THE PEOPLE.—The religious recreations for the people which used to take place at St Martin's Hall, have been resumed at the Freemasons' Tavern and last night the great hall was crowded by an audience which had assembled to hear a discourse from Mr H. J. Slack upon the relations of physical science and national progress," and to listen to selections from oratios performed by Miss Palmer, Miss S. Cole, Mr Mason, and a tolerably numerous choir. The chair was taken by Dr Hodgson, who introduced the lecturer of the evening in a few appropriate observations. The remarks of Mr Slack were mainly directed to showing the advantage which would be conferred upon a nation by the general diffusion of at least elementary scientiffc information. The lecturer did not confine himself to, although he did not altogether overlook, the material good which would result from the scientific training of artisans and labourers but he laid by far the greatest stress upon the moral and intellectual results of a scien- tific training. Referring to the history of the world both in ancient and modern times, he showed how uni- versally scientific knowledge had been confined to a small class and how generally it had been associated with the superstitions which in its absence had possessed the minds of the mass of the people. The most strik- ing examples which he cited were those of ancient Egypt and modern Russia. In Egypt a very consider- able amount of scientific knowledge was possessed by a sacerdotal class, a close corporation who took the strictest precautions to prevent its extending beyond the charmed circle of their own order. In Russia a small, and only a small, portion of the official class had been trained in scientific knowledge, but the great bulk of the people were sunk in barbarism and ignorance, possessing little or no knowledge of the simplest mechanical operations With this state of things the lecturer sharply contrasted the condition of affairs in England and the more ad- vanced nations of the Continent at the present time. In his opinion skilled classes arise when they are called for and he described it as a distinctive feature of the present state of society that capital, for its own sake, is now demanding skill, and, therefore, scientific know- ledge of labour. In order that science might benefit the progress of a people he affirmed that it must have reached a certain point of exactitude, and that large numbers of persons must be ready to accept new truths. The principal and immediate effect of scientific training was to restore authority to its proper place, to pro- duce honest doubts-not mere ignorant disbe- lief — and to induce men to labour for the satis- faction of those doubts by a thorough and complete in- vestigation of the laws and phenomena of nature. He combated the common, but erroneous impression that scientific education had a tendency to produce hardness and narrowness of mind, maintaining that it appealed to the imagination as well as to the reason and con- cluded by reading some eloquent passages from a work by Professor Tyndall, describing the grandeur and variety of the subjects which present themselves for the study of the scientific observer or investigator. The discourse was listened to with profound attention, and although, in defence probably to the semi-religious character of the meeting, there was no applause, its close was accompanied by a murmur or hum of approval and satisfaction. The musical selection in- cluded pieces from the Creation of Haydn, and Mr Costa's Naaman, as well as a chorus by Kimmil and a solo and chorus of Gounod. It is somewhat unfortu- nate that the situation of the gallery in the Freemason's Hall places the choir behind the bulk of the andience and it might perhaps be desirable, on a future occasion, to fix the platform at one side, rather than at the end, of the room, so as to enable the benches to be arranged longitudinally, instead of across the hall. 0 THE MANUFACTURE OP WATCHES AND CLOCKS.—A most interesting and inatructive little work, describing briefly, but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock making, haa just been published by Mr J. W. BENSON, of 25, Old Bond Street, 99, Westbourne Grove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate Hill. The I book, which is profusely illustrated, givcs a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the United King- dom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for them- selves tho watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr Benson, who holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of I the intending purchaser. a 16
