THE Quarterly Reririn for January offers its readers a reply to the question, " What shall we "do for 'rebut(' r After the open breach be tween the Quarterly and Lord DERBY'S Govern ment on the question of Reform, we must not too hastily make Ministers responsible for what it may hay on Ireland ; but its article, which would be lamentably defective as a manifesto, has an interest as the calm utterance of a thought ful but thoroughly Tory mind applying itself to a state of things which might well excuse some departure from party traditions. The greater part of the article is a statement of what should not be done for Ireland—indeed, the /46.in:es chief object appears to have been to oppose and undo the effect of Mr. GLanwroNt's spe viies and Mr. GOLDWIN SNITki'S Letters to the JAtily Yrirs. The Review assumes that Ireland— meaning, as wo all mean, Catholic and Celtic Ireland—is Fenian in sympathy, if not in act ; and its discontent beyond the moans of legisla tive remedy. He virtually gives up the hope of governing Ireland with the consent and attach ment of its people when he says that "it is on " the Saxon and Protestant, rather than on the " Celtic and Catholic elements of Irish popula " tion, that the hope of a peaceful and willing " adherence to the union between the two' " islands rests ;" and that whatever we do, we must not alienate " the garrison "to whom in the last resort we must "look for the maintenance of the connexion "of Ireland with Great Britain." If this be so, if the groat body of the Irish population is to be regarded not only as actually discontented, but permanently and hopelessly hostile, while the smaller portion is to have its wishes consulted, there is an end of the matter ; the pretence of keeping up the forms of constitutional and representative government is a mockery, and Mr. Inseam.; need not trouble himself about a new Irish Reform 13111. A writer who maintains propositions like these really telLsus nothing more :when he formally "rejects the idea of governing " Ireland by Irish opinion." if ho is right, there is nothing left for us but to govern Ireland as Russia governs Poland. But even despotism has sometimes done for backward countries that which they have not been able to do for themselves. The principal subjects which have been discussed in connexion with the improvement of the condition of Ireland are its Church Establishment, Emigration, and the Land Laws. All these topics are examined by the Reviewer, and he finds there is nothing substantial in the complaints of the Irish. As to the Church, he finds that a large majority of the Irish members of the House of Commons—and where else should he look for a representation of Irish opinion —WO for upholding it. As for emigration, which some say is draining Ireland of its life blood, it does not go on fast enough for him ; and the Land Laws are what they should be. There is only one thing which the Government can do for Ireland in the way of removing a practical grievance : it is to take the Roman Catholic priesthood into its pay. An effort should be made " draw them within the " circle of the legitimate influence of the Govern " ment." It has been said they would not take money at its hands. But the Quarterly Rericw " feels confident that if money " were really given, it would and even must be " accepted." This is the latest compound re medy for Ireland's ills issued from the Tory dis pensary. The old, hateful system of Ascendancy is to be reasserted and restored, Ind the un righteousness of the Established Church to be maintained, while the Romish priesthood are to be bribed to tell their people—not that such en arrangement is jest and right, for that is quite beside the question—but that it is their duty to accept it and be thankful. Surely Mr. DISRAELI cannot produce any proposition more futile than this. SCARrELY a day passes without somebody writ ing to the newspapers complaining that his name is being improperly used in appeals to the public for money. As a director, trustee, patron, presi dent, committeeman, or something of the sort, everybody whose name is good for anything is in perpetual danger of having it employed without his sanction. It is well when such an occurrence comes to the knowledge of the persons inte rested, so that its repetition may be prevented ; but this is not always the case. There is reason to believe that a very grave and reverend name is just now being sadly abused in moat of the countries of Europe. At Paris there bill will fninialt is s body which iv " Committee of Sr. PITS; aimed authority for the We gather from their _ Galilean Fisherman is now ---- accumulating materials pugn, and they pretend funds from the worship They have just pitilishiseTilit in which they set down ments made for " uniforms and belts, artillery, " mountain pieces, revolvers, ambulances, sts." ,—aaa for PETER. Then comes, par pareuthese, a Idissertation on the • superior destructiveness of certain competing rifles, followed by the intima , don that after much inquiry PETER decidedly prefers the Remington—which we believe is an American weapon—to the Chassept.t, so 5,000 Remingtons are to be bought accordingly. This, however, is not all : PETER wants rifled cannon for ramparts, central barracks, and magazines for powder and combustibles generally, which it is not doubted his friends will supply. PETER must have changed very much since be was able to speak for himself if he has really become a con noisseur of largo and small arms, and has a hanker after revolvers and cartridges ; and his Bei aant Committee ought to be called on to show their authority. Our own opinion, which, how ever, we give only for what it may be worth, is that the whole affair is an imposition, and that the money is really wanted for the vulgar pur poses of some petty government of this earth, as different as can be in its principles and objects from that kingdom to the interests of which it is well known PETER dedicated his life. Ws shall know the truth in time about the solemn Requiem Mass which was so near being celebrated at Rome for ALLEY, GOCLD, and LAR KIN. Many tentative explanations of the story have been put forward since the first simple and strenuous denials of the clerical Roman press, the facts of the case having been enveloped in some obscurity. The latest account is given by the Roman correspondent of the Weekly Register. According to our Roman Catholic contemporary, the attempt to get the Maas performed was the work of some Irish enthusiasts who had gone to Rome to serve the POPE as Zouaves in his army, and it was they who represented to the priest of the Church of St. Andrew della Fratte, that ALLEN and his two companions had fallen fighting at Mentana. They had found an Irish Franciscan monk to officiate, but upon the discovery of the facts the arrangements at the church were cancelled. The Colonel had the Irishmen locked up, and when they grumbled, as they did pretty loudly, they were held to be of no further use to the POPE, and packed off home, rid Marseilles. The reflections of our contemporary upon this affair seem very appropriate :—" It is a great pity that those " persons who undertake to enlist these men "do not inquire about their conduct before " engaging them. The kindheartedness and gene " rosity of tho Irish are well known ; but we " ought to know how to pick and choose, cape " daily in such times as these. Unfortunately " these mishaps always leave a bad impression." medusa& wise aadtemperete educational reform. The Examiner thinks, it imposdble to exonerate the authorities of the East-end from the charge of culpable neglect on the ground that the distress was unforeseen and unexpected. We have had too many of these unex pected attacks of stagnation, and its consequent destitu tion, to allow of the validity of such a plea. The proba bility, nay, the certainty of their recurrence—add the fear is that they will be rather more frequent in the future — should have suggested the framework of some permanent organisation for meeting such emergencies. The poor-law system is not intended or fitted to do more than to deal with the stereotyped poverty of the country. Relief com mittees, created for the occasion, can do little except to distribute the contributions of the charitable ; but their efforts are partial, their 'apply unequal. and they are liable to all manner of error and imposition. What is wanted is a system which, on occasions like the present, would bring the unemployed into connexion with works of acknowledged utility, and pay them fair wages till the work was completed and the emergency had passed, and trade flowed in its ordinary channels. The Chronicle suggests that a rule should be made making registration at a consulate or embassy of Great Britain an indispensable condition of the naturaliaation of any British subject in a foreign state. By this means no fabrication on the part of a foreign official would be of any avail. The British government would decline to accept any evidence of naturalisation not authenticated by the prescribed registration under the hand of a British representative. It is very desirable, however, that the question should be put on a more satis factory basis, not merely as between England and America, but as between civilised States generally. The first step in this direction is to reduce our own doctrine of alle giance to reasonable proportions ; and, as a preliminary to effecting this, we ought to be in possession of a compara tive view of the legislation of other countries upon the subject, as well as of the opinions of our ablest jurists upon the effect of any suggested change'. The ordinary method of obtaining such data is the appointment of a royal commission ; and in the present instance there seems to be no reason for departing from the established practice. It is stated, apparently on authority, that Sir Stafford Northcote has offered the Indian Exchequer to Mr. Childers, member for Pontefract. As Mr. Childers is a radical, the offer is creditable to Sir Stafford, and, the Spectator regrets, for the sake of India, that it has been declined. Mr. Childers understands finance, and has a backbone to his mind—a very rare quality. A strong man is imperatively required out there just now, for Sir John Lawrence does not understand finance in the least; the new division of budgets among presidencies wants extreme care, and there will sooner or later be a mess with thorn " balances" amounting to a catastrophe. India wants and, as we believe, must shortly hare Exchequer bills, or some day the government, with its revenue as prosperous as that of England, will stop for want of sixpence in the till. Would not Lord Hobart go? It would be a shame to send the fittest man io England—Mr. Stansfeld. Cite Court. OSBORNE, JAN. 17. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice, drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon, and Prince Arthur walked out, attended by Major Elphinstone. Lieutenant• General the Hon. Charles and Mrs. Grey had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Royal Family yesterday. The Hon. Mary Law:ellen has succeeded, as Maid of Honour in Waiting, the Hon. Emily Cathcart, who re mains on a visit. We (Times) are requested to state that his Excellency the PrumianAtubassador,rountßemstorff, will deliver his credentials in him capacity as Ambassador for the North German Confederation upon her Majesty's return from Osborne. Lord Vontry was seized with partial paralysis on Sunday, at his seat, Burnham, near Dingle. A alight improvement has since taken place in his condition. We are glad to be able to state that the Hon. C. H. Lindsay, M. P. for Abingdon, has recovered from the effects of the accident which happened to him some time ago. He has left his residence at Winchfield-house to pay a visit to Lord Overstone, at Overtone-park. The first weekly meeting for the season of the members of the Royal Institution commenced yesterday evening with a lecture by Professor Tyndall, "On Faraday se a discoverer." The lecture theatre was completely thronged, not a vacant place being left in any part, and a number of chairs were brought in to accommodate those who could not find seats on the ordinary benches. Pro fessor Tyndall read the greater portion of his lecture from the proof-sheets of a printed memoir which is about to be published ; and the lecture table was devoid of all apparatus, a circumstance unprecedented in his previous lectures. The Society of Ar a has issued invitations for • conference on " Technical Education," to be held in its rooms on Thursday and Friday next week. A very fall meeting is expected. Earl Russell, Earl Granville, repre sentatives from various Chambers of Commerce, and other public bodies, and mayors of towns the seats of leading industries, byre already signified their acceptance of the society's invitation. A course of four Cantor lectures, " On Food," by Dr. Letheby, wall commence at the Society of Arts on Monday evening next, and be continued each succeeding Monday evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Holmes, of the MS. Department, British Museum, known as • draughtsman and designer of ilia. minations, has gone with instructions to act as archaeologist to the Abyssinian expedition. A tragic symphony by Schubert is to be expected from Vienna. A new " Ruth," by Mr. Tolhurst, is to be per formed on an early day. The lessee of the Haymarket Theatre (Mr. J. B. Buckatone) has just concluded an engagement for Mir Bateman to appear at his theatre next September for three months certain. Miss Fanny Josephs will shortly undertake the reins of management at the New Holborn Theatre. Mr. Widdicombe, the comedian, is seriously in disposed, and unable to attend to his professional duties. The Era Almanack, devoted to musical and dramatic matters, contains the following stage repartee, gathered by Mr. Boucicault is Mobile, Alabama :—" Some yearn ago, when Macready was performing in that city, he was unfortunate enough to offend one of the actors, a native American of pure Western type. This person, who was oast for the part of Claudine is Ha old, resolved to pay off the star for many supposed offences. So in the last scene, as Hamlet dabbed the usurper, that monarch reeled fo rward, and after a most spasmodic finish he stretched himself out precisely in the place Hamlet re quired for his own death. Macready, much annoyed, whispered freely, ' Die further up the stage, sir !"Ibe monarch lay insensible. Upon which, in a still louder voice, Hamlet growled, Die further up the stage, sir!' Hereupon Claudius, sitting up, observed, • I blunt I'm king here, and I'll die where I please.' The following are the subjects for discussion before the Central Punters' Club in 1888:—Feb. Sale and Transit of Home and Foreign Stock—Mr. Clare Sewell Read, M.P., Honingham-Tborpe, Norwich.

Fowler, TM Prebendal Farm, Aylesbury. solution in 1868 is interpreted as an indication of the warlike intentions of Russia. Another Russian organ, the Gatos, says : An alliance with Prussia would be very useful. How ever, in the event of war, her neutrality would be suffi cient for ns, and this, on her part, would be only a just compensation for the neutrality of Russia during the late German war. The Christians of Turkey would be the best allies, but the question is would they be able, unaided, to make good their cause by arms. Among the Christians of the Balkans it is principally the Serbs, the Montenegrins, the Roumeins, the Bpirots, the Thessalians, and the Greeks who could render eminent services to Russia. Bat Russia will not enter into a new eastern campaign without having made solid preparations. The Paris Temps remarks on the above : We see that the Gatos places the Serbs fast amongst the future allies of Russia, and, indeed, it is naiades. to those who are acquainted with the dispositions of the Christian populations of the East, that in despite of the represen tations and the counsels to moderation given by the western powers, Berrie is completely subject to the influ ence of the cabinet of St. Petersburg, and is only awaiting to receive from it the signal to begin. According to the Vienna Frenidenbtatt Prince Michel recently said, "My part and that of my people are already cut out. lamto be the Victor Emmanuel, and my country is to be the Piedmont, of the Christian population of Turkey." Accord ing to the Debatte of Vienna, differences have arisen at St. Petersburg between the partisans of the Chancellor of the empire, Prince Gortchakoff, and the adherents of General Ignatieff. "The Prince," says the Vienna journal, " would wish to induce the Porte by moans of negotiations to grant reforms to the Christian population of the East, in order to miti gate the crisis and bring about a solution. General Ignatieff, on the contrary, chooses a much more de cisive mode of settlement : he desires to make use of the Eastern Christians in order to compel the Turkish government to make concessions of a much more extensive kind than are aimed at by the Chancellor." The Austrian journal adds that the Czar inclines towards the opinion of General Ignatieff. (wrizz's Tzczaux.) THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. ADEN. JAN. 4, via Trieste. Her Majesty's frigate Octavia, with Sir Robert Napier and staff on board, passed here on the Ist. Immediately upon his arrival the Commander-in- Chief proceeds to the front, although half of the forces composing the expedition had not arrived. All the large steamers are returning with all despatch to Bombay for the remainder of the troops. A naval brigade is in course of organisation, and will proceed to Senaf4 forthwith. The Babette, from Annealey, arrived here on the 2nd inst., and proceeded at once for Bombay. General Stavely arrived unexpectedly at Annes ley, from Senafti, and ordered the 33rd regiment to land, and advance the same night to the front. They were provided with Snider rifles, and dis embarked at 4 o'clock in the morning. A rumour had been current that Colonel Mere wether had met with a repulse at Senate. A letter, dated 2Gth December, announced his departure with troops on a reconnoitering expedition. His speedy return originated the report. The chief of the Tigre tribe has become very friendly ; he has offered to victual the forces, and had sent down 2,000 bullocks, which have been handed over to the Commissariat. This depart ment is now employed in transporting stores from Annealey. The Bengal Brigade has commenced passing. Sailing transports are returning here daily from Annealey for camels, which are much required in the plains. Mules are still in demand. PARIS. FRIDAY EVIIPING. short proceeding are out my surmise forced through that luick time. President' M. Rouher, begging that the measure was "urgent." Wherefore urgent—is a question of supreme interest to all Europe. M. Trop long at once proposed that a committee on the bill should be nominated the next day. Some senators exclaimed, " But the bill must first be printed and distributed." "Oh !" said M. Troplong, quite ready, "it is printed already and will be distributed to you this very evening." "The time is very short," ventured to say Baron Brenier, an old diplomatist. Thereupon a chorus of voices from those who knew and felt that the orders of MM. Rouher and Troplong were impera- five, exclaimed, "Oh ! we know all about it already ; the bill has been printed in the Itfoniteur." The merest show, if so much, of a serious discussion will take place in the Senate, and then this bill, which shocks the country from one end to the other—this bill, des tined to be acted upon with a rapidity already pre pared for—this " urgent " bill, as M. Rouher terri bly says, will become law before the end of next week. The Duke de Persigny has sent to all the papers a letter of portentous length, which is only as yet produced in extenso by the Elbert 4. As the pro duction of a man holding the highest rank that any subject can hold in France —a duke, a senator, a privy councillor, an ex-minister, a some time ambassador in London, and more than all an old intimate associate and per sonal friend of the Emperor's, it must neces sarily command attention. Without requiring further time to consider a lucubration occupying ' nine columns of print, I do not hesitate to commit myself to the opinion that it is one of the most jejune and pitiable manifestoes ever published by a man with any pretensions to be a statesman. The old habit of writing with authority from the office of the Ministry of the Interior evidently de ludes the Duke de Persigny as to the value of his dictum. M. Ceres, the manager of the -'Nair Janne, has presented a petition to the Senate, complaining I of the decree of the Minister of the Interior, which I prohibits the beat part of its sale—namely, the sale in the stalls in the public streets. The petition pointedly presses upon the Senate this question : Is it right that the administration should have the power arbitrarily to confiscate a large property, such as the Noin Janne, which represents a property of at least 100,000 fr. 1 The Pays reports that M. Dusantoy, proprietor of the Epoque, who says he has retired front the tailoring businesa for the last eight years, has obtained a contract for the equipment of the new force of 400,000 national guards [mobile]. It inquires whether this is part of that " sacrifice " which the Epoque says M. Dusautoy has made for the empire. Count de Gultz, notwithstanding the universally acknowledged " success " of Dr. Nelaton's opera- 1 tion on his mouth, is as yet unable to speak without great difficulty. Major Foabery is now in Paris for the purpose of negotiating with foreign governments contracts for his rifle, which ho thinks superior to the Chasse pot. He has had an interview with the Empe ror's aide-de-camp, General Fav,.C. The firmness of yesterday's Bourse was main tained. liente closed, with a rise 10c. for account, at 68fr. 77ic. Italian rose sc. Other securities left off with little change. A POREIGIV VIEW OF THE QUEENS BOOK. The Diary of the Queen of England—a record of sorrows and souvenirs written in memory of Prince Albert and of tho domestic happiness of the Queen, has been just published in London. Nothing is at once more honourable and more sad than this uncoloured history of a life absorbed by conjugal affec tion and undivided family solicitude. It ie the record of a woman not of a Queen. The Queen ie inexhaustible in her admiration of the Prince Consort, and when she quotes the words or the acts of this royal model, we are quite Cur prised to find them of the ordinary and common type. The fact is they were transfigured by the Queen's love. A tone of extreme simplicity and naturalness pervades these familiar utterances. The Queen's children are everywhere called by the infantine abbreviation of their names—the Prince of Wales " Bertie," Prince Alfred " Affie." Oc casionally a charitable visit, a walk resulting in some kind act, lights up the record of this life of private affection and of real religion.—Le Nord. A letter from Naples of the Bth says :—" The work of excavation in Pompeii was recommenced yesterday. ; The sinews of war have arrived, and the weather has somewhat improved,—buth necessary conditions of the labour ; and we may now again expect some important discoveries. Indeed, those of last year were singularly deficient in interest, comprising only the banker's cheat — which must be an exception to my remark—some instru ments of agriculture, the Egyptian inscription, and a few other objects of less note. The site of this season's exca vation is that in which the celebrated Oscan inscription was found, as the belief is that an Oscan city formerly stood there long before the newer Pompeii was built. With this special object in view, the excavations are, of course, watched with much antiquarian snxie4. The annual sum granted by the government for these works is 60,000 lire, which being spent, Pompeii reposes until next pay-day comes." The appointment of the Royal Commission on Education in Ireland, with the names of the commis shiners, L gasetted. The nature and extent of the inquiry an set forth, and the inquiry appeare to be of a compre hensive character. Yesterday a deputation from the Queen's University waited upon the Lord Lieutenant and Lord Mayo with respect to intermediate education. Lord Mayo said the government could not entertain the subject pending the inquiry by the royal commission. The Right Hon. Sir Joseph Napier, Bart., having been re-appointed by Lord Cairns to the office of Vies-Chancellor of the University of Dublin, was re-sworn on Thursday before the Lord Chancellor, at his residence in Merriou-square.

(THIS DAY.) The Times, commenting upon the remarkable unanimity of opinion exhibited at the educational confer ence, expresses its conviction that a serious error was committed in making, not only compulsory school-attend ance, but universal compulsory school-attendance, an essential element of their policy. So violent a change, it believes, will be decisively rejected on the first appeal to public opinion. Mentioning the fact that efforts were made to secure the attendance of conservative statesmen at the conference, the Times expresses the opinion that their absence was caused by their knowledge of the fact that a comprehensive measure is being prepared by the govern. ment. In other articles the Times treats of Professor Fawcett's late lecture on the agricultural labourer ; the final vote on the French Army Bill ; and Lord Itanelagh's letter on the volunteer force. The secret of the unpopularity of the bill in France the Times believes to lie in this, that it evinces on the part of the government an inclina tion to war, and to aggressive war. With regard to the volunteer force, while our contemporary con curs in the opinion of Lord Ranelagh that what is noto riously and undeniably lacking in the constitution of the volunteer force should be supplied by timely and adequate provision, it does not think that what we actually possess deserves to be called a " sham." The Da iffy News says that unless Mr. Disraeli can persuade his party, and especially'llr. Henley, to adopt the principles of the Manchester Conference, and to accept the bill as now modified, Mr. Bruce himself will bring forward his education measure, with the prospect of passing it, in spite of all opposition. Henceforth it may be assumed that the day of permissive legislation in the matter of education is gone by.—General Blontebello's pamphlet on the Roman question ; the letters of M. Mires, which record the ill-treatment of French soldiers by their officers in Mexico, and make accusations which are to be made the sub ject of a trial at law ; and the curious proceedings in the pariah of St. Ethelburga, where the parishioners are at war with their rector, who declares protestantism to be detest. able, are the other topics dealt with in the Daily Nev.:. The Pod declares it is not only right in principle, but wise in policy, speaking in the interests, not of landowners but of the public at large, that the suppression of poaching should be among the functions of the police. The Standard thinks it very much to Mr. Gladstone's credit that he has come forward boldly to take up Mr. Potter's challenge, and to maintain the truth, as it is in commercial science, regardless of political considerations. This is that kind of courage of intellect which places Mr. Gladstone so immeasurably above Mr. Bright. The Star asks why the Bishop of Capetown does not leave the people of Natal to manage their own ecclesiastical affairs! If Dr. Colons° is not acceptable to his own clergy and laity, they surely are able to make their voice and influence felt without external pressure. The Telegraph sees emphatic assertions in Lord Rene lash's letter ; but it wants to know the steps he would take. What are his plans? Would it not be more busi ness-like, instead of making sweeping declarations of opinion, to produce a plan? THE WEEKLY PRESS. Treating of political parties the Saturday Review observes thus Mr. Disraeli during the la 4 twenty years has been educating his party, while Mr. Gladstone's party, during a similar period, has been educating Mr. Gladstone. The questions which are before us, and which require to be solved in the next few years, are questions about which it is desirable that both great parties in the state should know clearly what they think. It is perfectly poesible that, when the views of both aides came to be slated positively, there may not be that wide divergence between them that in theory might be expected. But however this may be, precision, &arum, end vigour ought, for the interests of the public, to be demanded of the opposition, as well as of the minis. try. A system of temporising to catch a few votes, or to secure a half-hearted support from irresolute middle men, is little better than men mischief ; and it is certainly not worth while to give up session after simian to • barren contest for the privileges or the sweets of office. There are some things that make it desirable that the present cabinet should, if possible, retain its place fora time ; but when it is destined next to fall, it will be a misfortune to the country if the reins are not taken by statesmen who have some definite ideas to propose, to legislate for, to stand ►y, and, If neennary, to fall by, In their turn.

Yesterday evening a special train arrived here with the remains of the Emperor Maximilian, which were borne to the Hof burg with great funeral pomp. The procession was accompanied by a military escort, and the highest court officials. An immense crowd lined the streets, who all displayed the greatest sympathy. At the Hofburg the pro cession was reoeived by the whole of the Imperial family. The funeral will take place this afternoon.

The arguments in this caps were resumed this morning, and concluded. Mr. Prideaux said, before Dr. Stephens proceeded with his reply, he wished to call the attention of the court t o the fact that the lit Edward VI., chap. 12, see. 4, upon which Dr. Stephens relied, was repealed by the 2 , ;th and 27th Victoria, chap. 125. Dr. Stephens said this could not affect his agument. He relied on the first Prayer book and the Act of 1662. Pon. timing his argument on the subject of light, he remarked that under the provision of recta passed in the reigns of it,. ward VI., Elizabeth, and Charles 11., candles were directed to be done away with except for the purpose of giving li g ht . Candles were not required for the performance of divine see, vice sooordingto the iitesof the church of England. Then eo to censers, in Elizabeth's time censers were systematically destroyed. His learned friend, Mr. James, had given him opinion on that point. He said, " I find myself unable to arrive at the conclusion that it is now lawful t o use censers in any part of the service." In that he agreed, and there he would leave the matter. He then came to the mixed chalice, and on that point he re. marked that notwithstanding the omission of any direr tion for mixing water with the wine in the second Prayer. book of Edward VI., in the Prayer-book of Eliz dxth, and that of Charles 11. it might be said that the language the rubric of 1646 might mean wine and water as wa as wine. It was true that after the wins had been mixed with water it was spoken of as wine, but it was spoken of as wine merely for brevity. It was unnecessary to speak of it with extreme precision as wine and But there was no reason to suppose that when the wend wine was used subsequently in the Prayer-book, and in canons, anything else than pure wine was meant. en this subject of the mixed chalice the Bishop of Exeter, who he supposed would be admitted on the other side to ee no mean authority, expressed a strong opinion in a charge delivered by him at Truro, in 1866. The bishop said "he had been told that there were among the clergy those wan in administering the blessed sacrament departed fro:A the custom and ordinances of the church of England, and by so doing violated the solemn promise and vow male by them at their ordination. Ile was told that there were those who mixed water with wine which was taken in this blessed sacrament. What right laud thy to set up their own judgment and opiniou in contradiction to the usage of the ancient church, and of our own church ? At the time of the reformation it did not please the Church of England to continue the pt of mixing water with the wine, and the ministers of the church had bound themselves to obey her injunctions." The Dean of Arches—Suppose there had been no rubric, could not this matter have been dealt with by the or. dinary? Dr. Stephens said undoubtedly it could, and whatever power the bishop had before the reformation he still had, except so far as it was taken front him by act of parka meat. He laid down four propositions-1. That in Charles I.'s reign the bishop exercised the power of making orders with reference to service which they had power to enforce out of court by means of the Vicar-OeneraL 2. Thattbis power was exercised by a dean sad chapter as well as by bishops. The Dean of Arches—How would the bishop enforce it! Dr. Stephens—By that most dreadful of all punish. meats—excommunication. His third proposition was, that the exercise of this power was subject to an appeal to the court of the province ; and his fourth. that the same power was exercised by Bishop Ridley by general in junction issued in his visitation. The learned cones went on to observe that the passages in the preface to the Prayer-book were intended to be a description in popular language of the power which belonged to the onli• nary, which was the same as that possessed before the reformation, which was not altered by the Acts of l'ni• formity, except that the ordinary was prohibited flora doing anything contrary to the directions contained in the new compilations. If the several Acts Uniformity we re considered in reference to the state of our institutions and to the state of our jurisprudence when they were mule—to the necessity of making them, to the nature of the subjects embraced by them, and to the uni. venally recognised canon by which the interpretation our laws was regulated, it was impossible to arrive at any conclusion, but that the practices now complained of were not in accordance with the rites and ceremonies preeerib,l in the Prayer-book. In conclusion he thanked his lordship for the attention, patience, and courteq which he hal shown during the whole course of the argument. Mr. Priehmux, on behalf of himself and his clients, also expressed his thanks to the court for the patience with which all they had had to advance leap been heard, and the courtesy which had been manifest to theni. The Dean of Arches said he was much obliged to the counsel for these observations. It was a eery arduous duty that he had to discharge, and he h-el been greatly assistod by the arguments of counsel. The court rose shortly before 1 o'clock. ILLNESS OP MIL STEEL, M.P.—Mr. Stool, for Cockerel nub, has, we regret to learn, been surfeit; from severe illness.

MILLIONAIRES.—Mr. Gladstone was compelled in his last budget to mention the death of a private Moo vidual, Mr. Thornton, whose wealth was w enormous that the legacy duty received perceptibly affected tl, national revenue. Mr. Thornton, however left only two , end a half millions, and the Coothciao, a respectable Welsh paper, now declares that the property of the late Mr. Crawshay, the ironuraster, the hulk of which n Icqueathed to his youngest son, exceeds seven mallow. If that statement is correct, of which we know noel_ but the Cambrian gives detail', Mr. l'rawebay must I,oe been the largest, or nearly the large st, holder of persocalts in Europe. The Rothschild' are said to hold their treat as family rather than individual property, and we quest , if outside that powerful clan there is a man iu Emote whose spendable wealth, &pert from hi. %taled lands, much exceed* rive millions, and there are probably not te n: eels reach that figure.—Jpecteffor.
