IPINE THE PHARMACOPOEIA An extract from the second edition (page 188) of tie translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by Dr G. F. Collier, published by Longman and Co.:— "It is no small defect in this compilation (speakicg of the New Pharmacopoeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet we know thr-t hemorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes, except it be in the form of COCKLE'S PILLS, which -thiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colcynr. which I think are formed into a sort of compound extract, the avidity of which is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline rocess, and by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse of it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say it is the best made Pill in the Kingdom a muscular purge mucous purge, and a hydrogoguv purge combined and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. That it doe- not commonly produce haemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute to be ing thoroughly soluble, so that no undissolved I articles adhere to the mucous membrane. c OCKLE'S ANTIBILIOTTS eILLS OF PURE VEGETABLE INGKliUl^JN i» AND FFEE FROM MERCURY.

Jmpmal Pitrlmntcttt HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY. The Post Office Vote was under discussion the whole day. Mr Pickersgill moved the reduction of the Postmaster General's salary by one hundred pounds, and drew attention to the relations between the Postmaster General and the subordinate officers of the Service. Mr Raikes said that the rule of 186!i had been swept away, and the new regulation he had framed provided that the men could meet when and where they liked. It would be im- possible to administer the affairs of GovernJaent if that administration were liable to be disturbed by a combination of men, and the Government could not permit the inter- ference of outside Trade Unions in the relations between the State and its servants. Replying subsequently to an asser- tion by Mr Conybeare that there had been no intimidation, the right hon. gentleman said he was constantly receiving letters from men who had been intimidated,, and, as far as he could judge, there must have been a largely-organised system of terrorism, to which the outbreak was mainly due. He had directed every application for re-instatement to be thoroughly investigated, and he would -exaiiiine personally into all the circumstances. Mr Pickersgill amendment was ultimately rejected by 195 to 111, and on the discussion on the vote being resumed, progress was reported. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. On the motion by Lord Macnaghten, the Bankruptcy Bill was read a second time, and, after a division, was referred to the Standing Committee on Law. Lord Salisbury, in answer to Lord Brabourne, declined to make the publication of statistics as to the varying incidence of tithe rent-charge a condition precedent to the re-intro- duction of any Bill on the subject. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY. Sir J. Fergusson moved the second reading of the Anglo- German Agreement Bill, sanctioning the -cession of Heligo- land to Germany. Mr Gladstone gave unqualified credit to Lord Salisbury for the spirit in which he had set about this agreement. He maintained, however, that the present demand upon the House, to vote a cession of territory, was absolutely un- paralleled. The treaty-making power lay_ solely in the Crown, and the uniform and unbroken practice had been, in all cases of treaties, to invite the assent of Parliament after they were made, and if the House of Commons withheld their consent the Ministry was turned out. This gave the House of Commons supreme control over the treaty-making power of the Crown. Butifthetreaty-niakingpom-erwasto be handled by a Bill, that power, which the House of Com- mons now possessed exclusively, was halved with the House of Lords. He could not vote agahist the Bill, but. he must decline to be a party to the constitution of such a precedent, and consequently would not take any part in the proceed- ings. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said the assent of Parlia- ment was not asked because it was deemed indispensable, but because the Crown had inserted a clause in the treaty that Parliament should associate itself with the Crown in the making of the treaty. Sir W. Harcourt maintained that no Government which had not the majority in the Hous^ of Lords could, if this pre- cedent were established, make a treaty with any Foreign Power. Mr Balfour recommended as a precedent a course which enlarged the powers of Parliament. Mr Phillips moved the rejection of the Bill. Tha Attorney General defended the proceeding by Bill, and debate was adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY. The royal assent was given by Royal Commission to sixty- two public and private Bills. Lord Sandhurst asked for information in reference to various matters connected with the recent insubordination in the Second Battalion of Grenadier Guards. The Duke of Cambridge deprecated discussion, as it would be impossible to maintain discipline in the Army if these subjects were to be discussed. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, replying to Sir W. Har- court, regretted that the state of business had not allowed him to bring in a Bill he had prepared for establishing a coinage fund and providing for a further calling in of light gold; but he confidently hoped it might 1' possible to pass such a Bill before the end of the financial year. Mr Stanhope, in answer to a question by Mr Conybeare, de- clined to produce the defaulter sheets of the men of the 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards who had been sentenced to prolonged terms of imprisonment with hard labour. He also stated, in reply to Sir G. Campbell, that Colonel Mait- land, of the Grenadier Guards, after writing to the news- papers that he had not resigned, had reconsidered the matter, and tendered his unreserved resignation, which had been accepted, and he had accordingly been placed on half-pay. He also informed Sir G. Trevelyan that it was not the in- tention of the Government that the Guards should hence- forward take their turn of foreign service with the rest of the Army. The adjourned debate on the Anglo-German Agreement Bill was resumed by Mr F. Stevenson, and carried on by Admiral Maync, Mr Atherley Jones, Mr 0. Morgan, Sir R. Temple, Mr Labouchere, and Mr Storey. Sir W. Harcourt repeated his argument of the previous evening in defence of the royal prerogative. Sir H. James thought the Government, in the present instance, had taken a wise view in abandoning the actual prerogative and making a substantial addition to the power of Parliament. On a division, Mr Phillips's amendment, moved on the pre- vious day, for the rejection of the Bill was defeated by 209 to 61, and the Bill was read a second time. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. The Public Libraries Amendment Bill passed through Com- mittee. The Sheriffs Assizes Expenses Bill was read a third time. Lord Stratheden moved for precedents bearing on the union of the offices of Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary in one person. Lord Salisbury admitted that it was not desirable that a PrimeJMinister who led the House of Com- mons should also be Foreign Secretary but the same objec- tion did not apply to a member of their Lordships' House. He did not believe that either the general business of the Government or the special business of the Foreign Office would suffer from this union of offices in the person of a Peer. The Motion was withdrawn. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. Sir J. Fergusson read a telegram, dated Sunday night, which had been received at the Foreign Office from Buenos Ayres, stating that the revolution was still proceeding, but that hostilities had been temporarily suspended, and that two of her Majesty's ships were in the harbour. Mr Gladstone, by way of personal explanation as to an argument of the Attorney General on Friday night, that in 1870 the right hon. gentleman had stated that the Crown could not cede Gambia without the consent of Parliament, said he had referred in 1870, not to Gambia, but to the cession of the great arterial communications of Africa to France. He had in fact, stated that these communications could not be ceded to without the consent of Parliament, because it would have been compulsory on the subjects of her Majesty with regard to territory that formed no part of the territory of the Queen. The Attorney General, while accepting the explana- tion, said nobody reading the report of Mr Gladstone's state- ment in 1870 could possibly come to the conclusion that he had referred to the great arterial communications of Africa, anl not to the cession of Gambia. In Committee on the Anglo-German Agreement Bill, an Amendment by Mr MacNeill, that the cession of Heligoland should be dependent on the assent of the majority of the male inhabitants being obtained, was negatived by 172 to 56. The Bill was read a third time. The Local Taxation Duties Bill was proceeded with in Committee. Mr Campbell-Bannerman moved to appro- priate to educational purposes in Scotland the fifty thousand pounds set free bv the abandonment of the licensing pro- posals. The Lord Advocate opposed the Amendment, which, after a long debate, was negatived by 188 to 164. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY. The Bill relating to the elementary education of the deaf and blind passed through Committee. The Settled Land Bill and the Supreme Court oi Judicature Bill were read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY. Sir J. Fergusson informed Mr Hozier that a telegram on Monday from Buenos Ayres stated that the armistiee had been prolonged till two o'clock yesterday afternoon, that the President had left the capital, and that the Government forces had been strongly reinforced. Another telegram stated that negotiations for the capitulation of the insurgents were proceeding, but that the terms of the Government had not been accepted. An amendment by Mr Parker, jn Committee, on the Local Taxa- tion Duties Bill, providing for the removal of words which limited frue education in Scotland to the compulsory standards, gave rise to a discussion in which Sir W. Harcourt, Mr Mundella, and Sir Lyon Playfair supported the Scotch demand for free education in all the standards, contending that the present limitation would tie the hands of the Government as regards England, and had been inserted for that purpose. On a division the amendment was re- jected by 197 to 15S The London County Council (Money) Bill was read a second time. •

tam the facers. Mr W. S. Caine has been adopted as the Liberal candidate for East Bradford. Mr Carnegie, who is at present residing at Cltiny Castle, has offered to give ten thousand pounds to build a Free Public Library at Ayr, provided that the town adopts the Free Libraries Act.. The office of Constable of Carnarvon, just coaferred upon Sir John Puleston, carries with it the absolute possession of Carnarvon Castle for life. There are also certain emoluments, though! they do not brmg the post within the category of places of profit under the Crown which necessitates vacation of a seat in Parlia- ment The member for Devonport is not the first of his name who has held the office of Constable. There was a Sir John Puleston constable in the time of Edward III. Later, a Sir John Puleston was hanged within the court- yard of the castle.

An attempt was made on Saturd:ty to assassinate the President of the Republic of Guatemala. An Indian, hired by some political conspirators,.concealed himself in the chamber of General Barillas, whom he attacked with a knife and a revolver. The President defended himself until help came, and when the Indian was apprehended he revealed the plot. A fatal accident occurred on Monday on the Ince sec- tion of the Manchester Ship Canal Railway. Through some mistake in working the points a train consisting of empties ran into a. train containing several hundred work- men. Two of these men were killed, and several injured. At a late hour last night two of the latter were living in a precarious condition. „. „ ,,T By the death of M'r H. T). B. Dillwyn, a Welsh Re- vising Barristership has become vacant. Strenuous efforts are being put forth to secure for the appointment a Welsh-speaking barrister, in the event of the selection of Mr Abel Thomas for the Liberal vacancy in East Car- marthenshire. It is stated that there is not a single Revising Barrister in South Wales who understands a word of Welsh, and it is questionable whether the state of affairs in North Wales is not quite as unsatisfactory. Recent statistics have shown that the birth rate France-is dwindling so fast that in four years the number of deaths will exceed that of the. births. Our Paris Correspondent writes that the heavy taxes consequent upon the war of 1870 have accelerated the tendency to a diminished birth rate, the plain lesson to he drawn from this being that fiscal burdens should be lightened, and the necessities of life cheapened. Doctor Lagneau, of the Academy of Medicine, recommends thirteen points to the consideration of the Government. One them is to bring up foundings on a tax levied upon bachelors, and another is to raise the age up to which young girls should be protected from 16 to 21. Doctor Lagneau thinks legal obstructions to marriage ought to be done away with that marriages of persons physically weak should be ce -he s' discouraged; that young men tbould be kept the snortest possible time in the amy; that greater c, should be taken to make cities, towns, and workshops healthy; that the barrack should be replaced by the camp and that emigration from the country to the tuwns should be checked. Another extraordinary scene" between the Llanrwst Guardians and the representatives of the press took place on Tuesday, when the guardians resolved to exclude re- porters from the discussion of business for a month, the clerk to the board in the meantime being instructed to furnish official reports. George Bowling, 57, labourer, was hanged at \V ands- worth Gaol on Tuesday for the murder of a woman named Eliza Nightingale, with whom he cohabited at Mitcham, Surrey. They both were addicted to drink, and after a quarrel one night, Bowling killed his paramour with a hammer. He has since admitted his guilt. He was avowed a drop of over five feet by Berry, the executioner, aDd he appeared to die i. an instant.

Oxford gained the Chancellor's Plate, beating Cambridge by one point only. Mr Braithwaite won the jewel in the second stage of the Albert, and Captain Gibbs, 1st Gloucestershire, took the first prize in the Duke of Canbridge series. Th.e principal competition on Thursday was the Elcho Shield, which after an exciting finish was won by Ireland with 1,646', England being second with 1,6.76, and Scotland third with 1,635.

THE ARGENTINE REVOLUTION. A revolution has broken out in the Argentine Republic. The telegrams from Buenos Ayres report desperate fighting between the rebel troops and the supporters of the Govern- ment, many people having been killed. President Celman has escaped to Rosario. General Manuel J. Campos, who was imprisoned on the recent discovery of a conspiracy, has, it is stated, been rescued by the insurgents, and has placed himself at the head of the revolution. News has been receiv- ed at Rio de Janeiro according to which Dr. Pellegrini, the Vice-President, has assumed the Presidency. The navy remains neutral. The news from Buenos Ayres, on Monday, was to the effect that theGovernment troops had received considerable reinforcements, and that the President had returned. On Sunday, the forces of the Government were defeated, and the killed and wounded numbered one thousand. The squadron in the harbour sided with the revolutiDnists, and bombarded the barracks occupied by the Government forces. A truce was concluded on Sunday, which was to expire on Monday morning.
