The Republican party in the province of Alexandria, near Tor-tonej had collected arms and ammunition for. the equipment of a band. The authorities, however, seized these arms to-day, consisting of 98 muskets and 4,000 cartridges.

The news given to some journals of the appearance of other bands is absolutely false. Florence, Sunday, June 5. The Opimom of to-day states that papers found on an individual of the last band arrested give information respecting the acts of republican partisans. Some provincial papers state that Ricciotti Garibaldi has gone to the Ionian Islands. AUSTRIA Vienna, Sunday, June 5.

An Imperial decree was published this morning sanctioning the opening of an International Industrial Exhibition in the spring of 1873, and.ordering the immediate notification of this fact to be made to. moment it is made, the grounds on which it rests, and that eVen at the unjudicial hour of "tea o'clock at. night." We have purposely abstained from any reference to the special cases disposed of by the bench on Saturday. The merits of the cases will be sufficiently understoodfrom the reportwhich we furnish in another column. Were they decided upon otherwise than they were, it would not in the least affect the observations we have felt it our duty to our fellow-citizens, but particularly to the humbler portion of them, to make, We trust that the Health Committee will persevere in its career of great ''usefulness, aud pass no injustice by.

If they have the power, they ought to get samples of other liquids" besides milk, and have them tested by their skilful analyst, with a view to the detection, exposure, and punishment of the fraudulent dealers in them. Besides these, the tea, sugar, sold to our roomkeepers might not be beyond the necessity of a test, and the'prospect of an analysis, to be published in the public journals, might effect an improvement, for which, we believe, there is ample room. The prophet of old boded evil to him who buildeth up his house by injustice," aad declared of such an one that he should be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem." Injustice is not less heinous to-day than it was in those far-back times, and it is misplaced mercy to deal lightly with them. "He that defraudeth the poor is a man of Hood.

to warn in order to prevent disappointment hereafter. Those who say that there is a spot jike unto a man's hand iu the heavens, and call on us to hope, are hound to prove that it is indeed a cloud" before they ask us to beiievethat the hour approaches -when the fertilising showers of union are about to fall, producing such oblivion of the past as will be the sure forerunner of brotherly co-operation in the future. A cordial, frank recognition of the status and rights of each class and body precede the commingling of the nations in one compact mass. These words of fraternity without the substantial recognition of equality will not do. Neither must there be a counterblast to the call to a nation's restoration, indicating that the restoration is to be based on the humiliation of any class or body, on the ostracism of another from the rights and duties of citizeushpp.

When the sin appears "in the heavens" that these things are all adjusting themselves as by natural affinities, then men will look the future in the luce with confidence, trust, and hope, and may take counsel together, and ask for the of good faith and success which alone could warrant their embarking in so great an enterprise. Have we men of thought, and vigour, and youth to win confidence by their power 3nd character, and devote their young lives and their every hope to the long struggle that must precede success 'I Have we the unselfish asd the true to lead and guide The old political hacks can find no place in the councils of a people pledged to such an enterprise as this. The rash and the reckless must have no standing-place amongst the trusted band to whose keeping the national honour and the national hopes are to be committed. The gentry should be assigned their proper place of honour and of influence, and the people aad those whom they trust should be recognised and cherished as the equals in council as well as the associates in the campaign. The whole field must be mapped and applotted, the cost must be counted, and the ways and means estimated before thoughtful men will cast in their lot, for once the ground is chosen and the wage of battle given there must be no faltering, no retiring save to enjoy national rest within the porticos of the National Senate.

While some of the recommendations of the Commission on Primary Education may be whether open or can Lave but little force, and, we trust, less success. In cases where in the same district two schools, one Protestant and the other Catholic, having an average attendance of not less than twenty -five scholars, andhave been in existence for three years, the restrictions to be enforced in the case of a single school may be relaxed, and these schools may be adopted by the National Beard on condition that the rules prohibiting the presence of children of one persuasion at the religious instruction of those of the other be still enforced. Ample precautions are taken that no school be admitted as denominational till after approval by a majority of the Board, and the names of such schools are to be scheduled and placed before Parliament. We are glad to find that it is proposed to remove the most unfair distinction heretofore created between convent and ordinary schools, and that the rule forbidding aid to be granted to schools conducted by members of religious orders is to be repealed. It is pro posed also that the Christian Brothers, if ex amined and classed, "be not excluded from the benefits of the system, and that the teachers of convent schools be examined and classed in the ordinary way.

As a necessary corollary to this latter proposition, the nuns of the enclosed orders are to be examined in their own homes. We have now glanced at the leading recommendations of the Commissioners. Amongt others which we have been unable to notice at length is an excellent provision for the compulsory acquirement of sites for schools, and a recommendation which certainly was not given before it was wanted that in future money "due from the National Board be paid "promptly." These most objectionable and utterly useless institutions, the Provincial Model Schools, are "recommended" for' gradual extinction, while care is taken that, as far as the Commissioners are concerned, the very opposite fate should befal the exeellent Model Farm at Glasnevin, so ablymanaged by Mr. Baldwin. Power is to be given to borrow money on the security of the education rate, for the erection and repair of schools and teachers' residences, and each principal teacher is to be provided with either a residence rent free of its equivalent a very necessary provision.

Each school is to be managed by a regularly appointed committee, with a treasurer, who, where practicable, should, in the "opinion of the Commissioners, bealayman. Another recommendation, useful though not very complimentary to the National Board, isthatitshould henceforth cease publishing school books, and thatafl suitable books should be allowed with-outpreferenoe'or distinction, noticebeing given to the Board of their proposed use and' it having a veto upon them. It is understood that some of the Commissioners three are named but by whose authority it is not stated dissen from certain of therecommendations, and pur pose drawing up reports of their own, but a these documents have not yet been issued, and as it is not yet known from what portions the report they dissent, it is of course prema ture to discuss the allegation that a minority the Commissioners are dissentient. his merit Schubert's trio, Op. 100, for pianoforte, violoncello, aad violin, whichfbroiight the first part of the con-certtoaclcse, was rendered extremely well by Mdlle.

SSP-" imposed principally of the of the city, and in the presence of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, a bioyle contestcauie founds of the Exhibition The day was beautifully fine, and the proceedings were attended by a military band. The first race was announced for a quarter past three, but did not startuntil some time after. Thiswasthe commencement of systematic neglect of punctuality, and we regret the management was not better cared for in this respect.

The race was open to all comers distance three miles. First prize, a silver-mounted bicycle, valued at 12 guineas-second prize, a silver cup, value 51. There were three heats, and the winners of each were then to run for the prizes. Five entered for the first, and four came to the starting point. The riders of the different bicyles wore a regular jockey costume, and looked right well mounted on some highly polished machines.

Mr. E. Purdon, Secretary to our worthy Chief Magistrate, acted asstarter, aud got the batch away very nicely. Two of the competitors soon fell off, and the race was between Mr. R.

Purdon and Mr. S. Lawder. A manly struggle ensued, Mr. Purdon riding all through with ease, and seemingly undergoing no very great exertion.

His rival appeared a good deal blown, but gave his companion something to work for. The race was accomplished in seventeen minutes, and Mr. Purdon passed the winning post amidst closely followed by Mr. Lawder. The second heat was equally exciting, and Mr.

H. Irvine rode with great energy in front a good bit, finite however, not without a bold effort. The third of the three heats was the one most looked for, as it was stated on the ground a rider had entered from Arklow, and was likely to astonish metropolitan admirers of the bicyclfe. The race was well contested, and after ajtew runners had given up all chasce of success, it lay between Mr. W.

Black and Mr. P. Kavanagh. Mr. Kavanagh, who was the Arklow entry, is one of the steadiest riders whom we have ever seen across a velocipede.

He works his pedals with ease, aud keeps ait admirable balance, not permitting a swerve ifeht or left. Jhetwo competitors came into awkward colhsiom.aniJ both fell heavily to the ground. The rnachmesTvere reiddy remounted, but from a slight injury received by Mr. Blacks bicycle he was compelled shortly after restarting to gtvenp. Mr.

Kavanagh earning home in excellent style. Lpwards of an hour was spent iu discus-sing an alleged disqualification of Mr. Kavanagh on the ground that he had "fouled." Thegreatest possible confusion prevailed, and we doubt very much if Mr Kava-E3gh received fair play, as he states, after re-starting in the last race he was roughly dismounted by some 'gentlemen. He was declared onetime disqualified, another tune he was mounted for starting, and finally to crown confusion, the assistanceof a constablewas procured Mr Kavanagh was about to be removed for interruDt mg the proceedings, but the managers it tetter not and at length he -was allowed to run the deciding heat as winner of the third, in company with Messrs. H.

Irvine and R. Purdon This was by far the best race of the day, and from start to finish Sir. Kavanagh held a splendid lead, not allowing an inch to be made by either of his followers Great, excitement now prevailed, and Mr. Kavanagh with wouderlul rapidity left his rivals a round behind. Mr R.

Purdon made a good second. The Challenge Cup was posti oned, and the Consolation Race "was competed for. It was intended for gentlemen who had been defeated ia the other contests. The prize was a cup valued four through somemistakeagentlemanwhodid not previously rim entered, and came in first. He was, therefore, disqualified, and Mr.

Carroll, who was second, received the cup. The races concluded at an advanced hour in the evening. THE SLAVE TROUPE IN THE ROTUNDO. These clever minstrels make their first appearance during their present stay this evening in the Round Room of the Rotundo. Their merits are already well known to -the Dublin pleasure-seekers, and, in addition to their old songs and performances, a host of novelties are announced.

We are sure the Slave Troupe, so well supported on previous occasions, will now receive that patronage to which it is undoubtedly entitled. MR. LAWRENCE'S JUVENILE FETE. To-day at the Exhibition Palace will be one long con-tmuousefe, in which a balloon ascent by Mr. Hodsman a wonderful exhibition of the sagacity of dogs aud monkeys, the feats of a most accomplished eouilibrist, a magnificent display of fireworks, and grand military promenade concert will, form the attractions of a day worthy to commemorate the Whitsuntide'holidays NEWS THE EDUCATION BILL.

(From our Correspondent.) Bradford, Sunday. The subject of education was' discussed by Mr. Forster, with a deputation from the Education League, in this town yesterday. Mr. Forster intimated that immediate action would follow the passing of the Education Bill He admitted that be was himself a convert to the principle of compulsion, but dad not think that was the feeling of the country, and believed that if left to choose be-tween enforced compulsion and no compulsion, the House of Commons would choose the latter alternative.

Mr. Forster further stated thathe principle of the bill was that the Imperial Government would not in any way interfere in religious education, and would not prevent parents who wished it from having religious teaching given their children in the same school, and' by the same man as other teaching was given. He held that the bill did not admit concurrent endowment. Mr. Forster intimated that whatever pressure was put upon him, he must pursue the course which he conscientiously believed to be right.

THE IRISH AND ENGLISH ASSOCIATION. SPECIAL TELEGRAM. (From our Correspondent.) Birmingham, Sunday. An. extensive organization, which sprung out of a number of enthusiastic meetings recently held in Birmingham, and which devotes itself to' Irish subjects, has issued a manifesto.

Olivier said he was in favour of permitting meetings, but the law of 186.8 forbade it the constant, opposition to the Government had become one of considerable difficulty. The Cabinet was arid would remain the Cabinet of the 2nd of January, and would accomplish its mission of founding liberty peacefully, "and would carry out its whole programme if it continued to possess the confidence of the Chamber. This confidence withdrawn, the Cabinet would fall, and by that very act further establish Parliamentary regime. The Ministers had felt the necessity of knowing how they stood with the Chamber, as yesterday's vote had shaken their confidence hi the support of the house. He was, therefore, glad of M.

Belmont's interpellation. Baron Jerome David protested against the course indicated by M. Ollivier as an act of intimidation, maintaining that if the vote of confidence question was necessary it would be valueless if forced on Parliament. M. Belmont then withdrew his amendment, as it had produced the incident, he regretted.

Belle and other deputies having taken up the amendment, in order to resolve the question of confidence in the Ministry, the proposed order of the day was voted unanimously by 1S8 votes, thus setting aside Belmont's motion. The Government presented a bill, resolving to abolish the newspaper stamp duty. Paris, Saturday, June 4. Yesterday evening a meeting was held of both sections of the Left Centre party.

To-day it is our melancholy duty to record the death of Miss Kathleen Smithwick, third daughter of the late Alderman Daniel Smithwick, which took place ab The Cottage, Kilcreene, on Wednesday last. At all times it is sad to speak of the death of one taken from amongst us, but truly may our pen falter when we have to tell of the loss of one so fair, so young, so dear to the community at large as Miss Smithwick was.

To personal gifts and accomplishments of a high order were united a gentleness and amiability of mamierwhich rendered this young lady admired and beloved by all who enjoyed her acquaintance. Few possessed stronger ties to attach them to the world, yet she feely relinquished ali and in the early springof her youth and beauty she resigned herself to the blessed will of God, and calmly -yielded up her pure soul to Him whose faithful, devoted child she ever was. But while we mourn her early death it is in the private circle of her own family her loss will be most severely felt, where her mental endowments, combined with that simple, play-fuLtruesweetnessof disposition, raadeher sobeloved. May Qoi, in His infinite mercy, grant nerpetual light to her JsouL and may He pour His balin upon the wounded heart of that good mother, who ia one short year has felt the crushing blow of the loss of the most devoted of husbands, and the most gentle and affectionate of daughters. A solemn Office and Requiem Mass was solemnized for eternal her repose on Friday, in Patrick-street Church, at whichRev.

W. Hayden presided, assisted by Venerable Archdeacon O'Shea! and a large number of clergy of city aud county The immense funeral cortege, which left Kilcreene Cottage at one o'clock, proceeded to the family burial place at St. John's Cemetery, the coffin being then removed from the hearse and borne round the -burial' arnnnri hv the commercial assistants in Mr. Smithwick's employment headed by Mr.jMurphy, New-street. The Di PreMidi and somm hymns of the Church being chaimted by the clergymen, the remains of thef lamented young lady were lowered to the grave amid the prayers of the muiieiise assemoiage.

THE MOST REV. DE. FURLOS'G. About half -past two o'clock on Saturday evening the Most Rev. Dr.

Furlong, thebeloved Bishop of the diocese of Ferns, arrived at the episcopal residence, St. Peter's College, Wexford, from Rome, where he had been taking pari in the deliberations of the Council at the Vatican. The college was most tastefully decorated with flags, flowers, Bannerets, on which were emblazoned the cross, the Papal arms, the harp surrounded with shamrocks, lung from every window, and the college arms floated gaily from the flag-staff on the sum. mit of the tojeer. On his lordship's arrival at the lawn gate he-was met by the students, who at once gave vent to their feelings by a loud shout of all fell on their knees the" good bishop raised his ffands, and imparted to them his blessing.

The sight at this time -was really grand and solemn. Here in the centre of a spacious lawn, with flags flying from every tree, and amidst the loveliest scenery of Wexford, upwards of four hundred of the youth of this great county lay prostrate at the feet of his lordship, and he praying to the throne of mercy in their behalf. His lordship proceeded, accompanied by his young friends, to the college house, where he was met by the Very Rev. the President, the Dean and the Professors. The vessels lying in the harbour were all decked out in their holiday bunting.

From our Corres- ondevt. GALLANT CONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE PREEMAS. 1 Sathmines-road, June 4th, 1SS0. I this day witnessed the capture of a highway robber, between one and two oVlock p.m., under most trying circumstances, by Police-Constable Kelly, 103 E.

The man, when hard pressed by the constable, drew a loaded revolver, and swore he would shoot him. For more than twenty yards the man ran backwards, with the revojver pointed towards the constable and within a couple of yards of his breast. The constable fearlessly rushed on, sprang upon his opponent, knocked him down, and made him prisoner. Fortunately the revolver did not act, for the constable -said he saw him pull the trigger twice. This transaction took place in broad daylight within view of my house.

Now, thejjeapture of this man, after he had escaped from five or six labourers (who, I am informed, had surrounded him in M'Gregors nursery after his robbery), by one unarmed man, deserves more than a passing notice. I would suggest that the inhabitants of this district should subscribe and present this constable vith a suitable gift for his courageous conduct. I will give 1 to commence, and will be happy to receive any subscriptions for this purpose. I may also add that nothing can surpass the efficiency and civility of the pohce stationed in this district. I am, sir, your obedient servant, M.

Distressing Suicide. Dr. Davis, county coroner, held an inquest at Clontarf oa Saturday on the body of Mr. John A.

M'Kenzie, a commercial traveller, whose body was found on Friday on the strand, with stones tied round his neck and legs. It appeared that two boys found a coat and waistcoat on the strand and brought them to the constabulary barrack. On search being made the remains were discovered as above described. Several pariers were found in the pockets of the clothes which led to the identificetion of the deceased, who, it was alleged, had betted heavily on the result of the Derby and lost. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased had f.nmTrn.fi1 ci'ria 7-1 mg under temporary insanity.

The great works of charity which have been founded in this city within the last twenty years-its hospitals, conventual establishments, and churches have attracted the attention and are spoken of by stranger and native. Bat the school where the little child receives the rudiments of learning and the principles of faith, being- oijis nature more humble, attracts less attention. Nevertheless, schools have grown up in various parts of the city within the last five years noiselessly, and as if erected by some invisible power. Within that period not less than has been spent in erecting schools for the poor of this city. They may be seen at George's-hill, Westland-row, James's-street, Great Strand-street, Golden Bridge, North Brunswick-street, Synge-street, and Meek-lenburgh-street, lasting monuments of the charity the citizens of Dublin, and admirably suited for then- holy purpose.

There is still, however, a large and populous district in the city totally destitute of educational assistance for its poor children. It will scarcely be credited that there is not a school for the Catholic poor within that portion of the city bounded on the north by Dame-street, on the south by York-street, on the east by Dawson-street, and on the west by Bride-street. Thfe block of lanes, alleys, rows and markets, containing an immense population massed together from cellar to garret, teeming with children the offspring, for the most part, of the intelligent artisan and the hard-handed labourer, have, no school where they may be sheltered from the vice of the street, and receive an education befitting their condition in life. It was proposed, twelve months ago, to take two houses in Clarendon-street and transform them with the least possible expense into a school They were taken, but it was found that they were too frail and toosmallforthepurpose. Twoadditionalhouseswere then taken.

These four old houses have been thrown down, affordingthusan eligible andsufheient site for large schools capable of accommodating five or six hundred children. The work was commenced last winter and is now very forward. The rooms will be large and lofty, with thorough ventilation, a blessing to poor children whose physical development is so much cramped by the poisoned air of their poor abodes. When finished, the schools will show two gables fronting Clarendon-street, surmounted by two statues of St. Patrick and St.

Brigid, with an intermediate belfry, in which the bell will toll in the morning to call the children to school, and in the evening to announce to the parents the moment when they may expect the return of their children. These schools will give religious instruction and secular education to the children of many generations yet unborn. The building will contain three separate schools, one for little boys under twelve, one for infants, and one for girls. We corn-mend this work most earnestly to the charitable consideration of a generous public. About one-half of the necessary outlay has been already supplied, or promised for the remaining half a lady, well known in this cityby'her many works of charity, has made herself personally liable, aud she is determined that a moment shall not be lost in carrying on the works, in order that the schools may be opened this summer.

It is a necessary and noble work to pro-ride education for so many poor children, and we are sure that every citizen will sustain Miss Aylward in carrying it onto successful completion. Donations and subscriptions will be received in our office, and at St. Brigid's, 42 Eccles-street and duly acknowledged in this journL THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.

There are three other parties charged with robbery iu all ten prisoners, for trial. THE POLITICAL PRISONERS.

We had not space on Saturday to call attention to the monstrous decision of the Commissioners not to allow a legal adviser or other friend of the prisoners to take part in the inquiry about to be instituted with reference to their, treatment. The Commissioners may be, and no doubt are, very good and upright men, able withal and competent for the discharge of their duties, but the first Judges and the first courts of the realm are not above asking the assistance of counsel to enable them thoroughly to understand and impartially to decide the more intricate cases that come before them. The majority of the witnesses to be examined by the Commissioners will be the very men whose alleged maltreatment has given rise to the inquiry. It is absurd to think that the Commissioners could effectively examine and fcross-examine these, men, or that any person, save one interested as an advocate for the prisoners, could so read the life, estimate the tone of voice, and interpret the manner of such witnesses as to know how to force the-trrrth from them. An inquiry without the presence of some trusted advocate of the prisoners will be pronounced by the country to be a sham a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." National Gallery of Iselasd.

The report is most voluminous, and when completed will form two large blue-books of some three hundred pages each, and the recommendations number one hundred and twenty-nine altogether. Of these we published a full summary by telegraph on Thursday last.

This elaboration of detail will in some measure accountfor the remarkable delay in the issue of the report, which was prosused to Parliament the begin-of last session, but which has been laid upon the table too late, we fear, for any legislative action to be taken upon it till next year, thus causing a delay of two years in the. settlement of a question of immediate and pressing importance. The report commences by setting forth that the progress of the children in the na-'; tional schools is much less than it ought to be," and its -first recommendation is that to secure an improvement in this respect each teacher should receive, in addition to a fixed salary, payment in proportion to the progress made by the children under his care. This proposition is in theory excellent, and if properly carried out should prove satisfactory totheteachersandbeneficialto the public, but care should be taken that the fixed salary in small or thinly populated districts is sufficiently high to properly remunerate competent instructors. For this reason we are inclined to doubt the advisability of making it uniform, even if the minimum proposed be considered Whether it is or not depends partly on the sum per head proposed to be paid to the teacher for each scholar who has made satisfactory progress during the year, and as we do not find any recommendation on this head, we are without sufficient data on which to give an opinion as to the adequacy of the proposed remuneration, though, as the report points out the necessity of an increase, we are led to hope that the just and imperative claims of the Sational School teachers, so long advocated by us, will at last be recognised.

However, it will be seen that a fixed salary which would he ample for a clever teacher in charge of a large school would be very poor indeed for an equally clever teacher who was given charge of a very small one, and though we quite recognise that the former should receive extra pay for his extra labour, we are anxious that the latter should be secured in one way or the other a fair remuneration for his services. If care be not taken on this head uniformity of freed salary will be obtained at the expense of uniformity of teaching, talent, and of uniformity of treatment to the teaching class. The Commissioners are decidedly of opinion that local management is absolutely necessary for the well-being of the school," an opinion in which few will not coincide, and they eonside that in all cases the local managers should contribute something towards the support of- the school that, save in exceptional cases, the amount granted by the Commissioners of National Education should bear a fixed proportion to the sum so contributed, and thatin every case this should amount to one-fourth of the entire. In default of voluntary payments or school fees, it is proposed to raise this local contribution by a rate of not more than three pence in the pound, to be paid as is the poor rate, one-half by the owner and ww-kalf by the occupier. The fifteenth and sixteenth recommendations refer to attendance.

They do not recommend the compulsory attendance of children in the rural districts, but negatively imply that children of school age ajid not actually at work should in towns be required to attend, for it is recommended that provision should be made for their education, which means, we suppose, that they also should Be made take advantage of it. With regard to the question of religion we opine that the of the Commissioners, while proposing to remove many most vexatious and 2nd irksome restrictions from Catholics, will be found unobjectionable and even welcome by Protestants, notwithstanding the outcry raised against them by a morning contemporary, who ffi this case is distinguished more by his zeal tnan by either discretion or impartiality. The report deals first with the ease of a district "fcere there is but one school, and in those localities it recommends that, instead of excluding all religious teaching, the course should be adopted of placing all on an equality, while at the same time taking the strictest precautions against interference with the religion of any. In these schools religious in-f UK tion is tod be confined to fixed hours. So Protestant is to be present during instruction given by a Catholic, and while no child is to be present a religious observance objected to by his 'stents, and no relirious emblems of anv tnid are to be exhibited during school hours.

These precautions would appear sufficiently ample to secure to all the benefits of the se cular education of the school without danger interference with religion. They cannot be received as in every way satisfactory by Catholics, whose conviction is that religious sWld never be separated from secular education, and who, for this reason, contend for the purely denominational system; but no such ground of objection is open to those who advocate mixed education, and no supporters of ttt system can object to this recommendation save those who desire, as did Archbishop hately, covertly to undermine the religion Catholic children under shelter of the National system. These indeed and we fear there are many disciples of the great Arch-' bishop" still living may object to the predictions taken to preserve intact the religion Protestant and Catholic alike but having proso.lytism for their object, THE FOOD AKD DRINK OF THE POOR. The Public Health Committee of the Corporation deserve the thanks of the community for their persevering efforts to secure for the poor of our city honest and healthy provisions A corporation could have no higher duty than' the charge of the interests of the poor, and too strict a vigilance cannot be observed in the faithful guardianship of them. prosecutions recently instituted for the adulteration of milk, and reported in our police intelligence of Saturday and this day, are practical evidences that the committee is fully alive to its obligations.

There is scarcely any article of sustenance that forms a more important ingredient in the dietary of poor roomkeepers than that of milk, and when they, pay for it, they have a right to get it of such a quality as that it may contain something of nutriment in it. Many a hard-working labourer can afford himself nothing better many a day in the week than a dinner of potatoes and milk. When his day's work is finished he wants his cup of tea or cocoa, and hopes for a drop of good milk to impart to it its flavour. It is a hard thing to defraud the poor man in his reasonable expectation. and to give him, in exchange for his hard-earned penny, a dishonest compound, in which the liquid that he pays for is the most infinitesimal item.

He has to give it to his family, aad this adulterated milk is to constitute the most nourishing of the food he can afford to give his hungry children. We know that some practical economist will tell us that if the purchaser finds he ia being cheated in one dairy shop he has the option of going elsewhere, till he succeeds in finding the article that may suit him. This may be true of the wealthy in our squares, and of our well-to-do shopkeepers, whose custom, both for itself and for the connexion it is likely to secure, it is worth the while of our milk vendors to propitiate and preserve by a good and pure supply. But is the case the same with the humble roomkeepers in the poorer portions of the city In the first place it may he that the practices of the milk-sellers in the neighbourhood inay he all alike, and to change from one to another might be only a difference without a distinction. But, secondly, there may be, and verv generally is, a difficulty about the transfer of custom amongst our poor, which the rich can scarcely appreciate.

Instead of the vendor being, so to speak, at the mercy of the purchaser, it is generally quite the other way, and the buyer is generally in the clutches of the dairyman's account-book. The drop of rnilk," as they call it, is nearly an indispensable luxury to the poor man's family; it is, as we have said, ofte wanted for the dinner: the wife or the aged mother will need it for the cup of tea, the sick child rnay require it for the ordered bowl of whey and, when under the pressure of want, every other necessity is discarded as a superfluity that can be done without, the father cannot resist the mute appeal that is looked, rather than spoken, for the sup of milk." It is sent for, and got in-seore" there is no money to pay for it, and an account is opened with the proprietor of the The same thing occurs twice or thrice a day, and, when the end of the week comes, the bill is a heavy one for the poor family to meet at once: a portion of it is cleared oft" with the Saturday's wages; but a new leaf has to be turned for the Sunday morning, and at the top of it stand the words "balance still due." Tell that father, or that son, he can his custom, and go in search of better value than the diluted stuff he is forced to take yes, but clear away his balance first instead of talking to him of his "option," put a few shillings in the palm of his hand, and if he knowingly spends them on adul-teratedmilk, whenhe can get whatispureelsewhere, by all means back up the dishonest dairymen; and tell the Health Committee that its occupation is "one." We cannot agree with the worthy and clear-headed magistratewho tried the cases on Saturday, in denouncing it "a monstrous piece of absurdity," that the officers of the Health Committee should ask the accused parties to accompany them with samples of the milk offered for sale, in order to be present at its analysis, even at 10 o'clock at night. We rather think it argues a praiseworthy zeal that at such an hour its officers are abroad upon their business, and that the services of the city analyst can be secured for the benefit of the accused seller as of the aggrieved purchaser at such a time. If the article is sold, and that when bought itis to be consumed, it matters but little to oar thinking whether the sale takes place at six o'clock in the morning or at twelve o'clock at night. If it is wrong to sell for consumption adulterated milk at the former hour, we do not see how the fact of its being sold at midnight lessens the enormity.

Mr. Norwood Ibated the indisputable fact, that in the humbler neighbourhoods a large quantity of milk is purchased at a late hour at night, and then, because many poor workmen do not get to their homes till these hours. It is surely not a monstrous piece of absurdity" the Health Committee take effective measures that these poor families shall not be cheated nor docs it- seem to us "a monstrous piece of that ss man charged with a dishonest trans-usUutt shiI to hsar plainly stated, oaths SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(From our Correspondent.) SWfy' 'fe5 a meeting of the members of the Wicklow Hunt was held at one o'clock- in the Green Tree Hotel, Wicklow, order to take into consideration the best means of preserving game in the county, as owing to the scarcity of hares during the past season the meet of the hounds often proved a blank.
