lowness of the mockery it was pledged to uphold. The difference between the present form of parliamentary oath and the proposed affirmation is so slight as to be almost imperceptible; in fact, with the exception of substituting terms "declare and affirm" for the word "swear," and oinitting the formal and altogether mean- ingless "so help me God," the proposed Bill left matters exactly as they stand at present, members who chose to take the usual oath Instead of the proposed affirmation, having the privilege of doing so. All the high down Tory references about the admission of atheists to parliament being inexpedient, unconstitutional, and dangerous are simply fudge. The Bill was avowedly brought forward to remove the BRADLAUGH troubles; the Tories had made up their minds to strenuously oppose, the admission of the member for Northampton to the House of Commons under any circumstances, and in must he conceded that, principally owing to the half hearted manner in which the Government has throughout supported the It is requested that all communications rela- rights of Mr. BRADLAUGH and his constit- ting to Subscriptions, Advertisements, &c., be advents, so far they have succeeded in their dressed to the Manager, Hongkong Telegraph" factious opposition.

No fewer than 65 Chinese householders, mostly women residing in Garden Street, appeared at the Police Court this morning, charged with the offence of keeping and rearing pigs in their dwelling houses.

SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle:-England is evidently determined to crush out the dynamite conspimtors without delay. A bill was rushed through both houses of Parliament yesterday which ought to strike terror to the plotters. It provides for transportation for life as the pen- alty for using explosives and a sentence of four- teen years' penal servitude for having explosives in one's possession. Lesser penalties are pro- vided for these caught in possession of the ingre- dients of explosives. The Act will become a law to-day by the Queen's signature and will be enforced at once. If rigidly applied--and there is no question of any lack of severity-the days of the dynamite scare are numbered.

THE New York World referring to its Lima correspondence, asserts that the position of the Chilcans in Fera is full of peril. The guerrilla forces, if indeed they are not to be called the army of General Caceres, can no longer be regarded with indifference by the Chilean garrison. of Lima. A skirmish, from which the Chileans have not come off with advantage, occurred between the outposts of Caceres and the Chileans three weeks ago, within thirty miles of the Peruvian capital. Meanwhile, a deadly epidemic, invited by the debauchery and recklessness of the Chilean troops, has broken out among the garrisons on the coast it is obvious, would bring the Feruvians to arms all over the country, and the silly attempt which the Chilean Goretament is making to manu- facture a pasteboard Peruvian President out of discredited and insignificant Iglesias bears witness to the anxiety and disquiet, if not positive alarm, of the Chilean Government at the condi- tion into which it has allowed itself to be drawn by yielding to the extravagant and senseless rapacity of the worst element in Chilean society, MR.

THE latest London sensation is the discovery, in the receiving-house of a parcel delivery company, of the corpse of a girl of 14, packed in a starch girl had been no mere haples outfenst of abjectlers and constantly undergoing a process of poverty. She had been carefully reared and tended. Her teeth had been looked after by a dentist; her hair, notwithstanding that she was in the last stage of emaciation, bore signs of having received continuous attention. She had been the child or the ward of well-to-do people, had presumably been known to many, and had been thought worthy of careful nutture. Yet this was her end-to be found crushed into a box after a death too clearly caused by starva tion or paison, and without a single living being having come forward to so much as say she was missed.

In the latter case a special carriage would be run with a freight of caustic soda or caustic lime, which after serving its purpose in converting foul air into pure, would still be a marketable com- modity, so that the cost of the material would be very small.
