... TREDEGAR. TURKEY BATH.—Walking in the direction of the cemetery belonging to this town a few days past, I was rather startled at reading the above announce- ment, figuring in good italics, on a rather unpre- tending signboard. Why ducks and geese are denied the luxury accorded to the turkey we cannot define. England may boast of its cold, hot, swimming, and Turkish Baths for the unclean of ...

... On Monday an influential deputation from this city had an interview wrth Lord Stanley of Alderley, her Majesty's Postmaster-General, for the purpose of laying before his lordship the claims of Bristol in any future extension or alteration of the ocean mail service.

... The refusal to defend Denmark, bad it is, will produce, we trust, one good result,—the revision of our military system. The true defence for the policy adopted, a policy which declines to do justice because justice might lead to blows is, it is clear, the condition of our armaments. England, says Earl Russell, to protect Denmark effectually would have to despatch troops, and she has not ...

... RAILWAY COLLISIONS. Two railway accidents, strangely similar in cir- cumstances, though not equally calamitous, in results, were reported on Saturday. In each case a fast train overtook a disabled goods train, and in each case a tremendous collision was the natural consequence. The scene created on the North Kent line must have been awful in the extreme. A ballast train, heavily laden, ...

... CHURCH VOLUNTARYISM. The following interesting letter, showing tha re- liance of the Charch upon the voluntary efforts of its insmbers, has been' circulated amongst the clergy of the diocese. We deeply sympathise with tha efforts of the Bishop in disseminating the true prin. ciples of voluntaryism, viz., that it is the duty of the Church to support its own institutions :— Bishop's Court, Dec, ...

... LIBERTY. OF THE PRESS IN THE FEDERAL STATES.— The New York Journal of Commerce publishes a list of papers which have been either suppressed or warned by the Federal Government since the war commenced. The list extends over some four columns and a half of small type. It is a striking record of tyranny in a land which boasts itself pre-eminently the home of freedom of thought and action. ...
