LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 1. THE EARL OF CARNARVON. THE Earl of CAtmutvoN's public career is so full of promise that his opening address as Presi dent of the Social Science Association will be read with interest by politicians of all shades. It is a satisfactory sign when a minister can submit to break off labours of proved usefulness for con science' sake, and to resign office just as fitness for it is being proved, rather than lend his name to proceedings which he knows to savour of chica nery and deceit. The Earl of C.insisnvos sacri ficed not merely place but the political connections and friendships of his lifetime rather than " dish •• the Whigs" at the expense of consistency and honour ; and for this reason, if for no other, his utterances on public affairs will always command the attention due to honest conviction and independent judgment. An inaugural address at a Sccial Science meeting is necessarily far-reaching in its grasp and catholic in its extent of range. The world being out of joint and the papers of the association being meant to put it right, it follows that the speech introducing those papers to the public should touch upon most subjects of the day and shadow forth an opinion or a sentiment upon ach. The Earl of CAUNARVON seems to us to have done this very successfully. From public vaccination to capital punishment, from mu nicipal law to the principles of religion, from the condition of our poor to the genius of Lord BROUGHAM, from telegraphic communica tion with America to the London Water Supply, from the advantages of education to the discipline of our prisons, are but a few of the transitions in Lord CARNARVON's speech. The solvency awl usefulness of trade unions, the circulars of the Poor-law Board, the rights of private property :4 sea, decimal coinage, arbitration courts, meteoro logy, smoking upon railways, taste, and commerce were all points upon which the new president expressed himself modestly and well. Lord CAR NARVON'S laborious painstaking has been already proved. His unceasing efforts to obtain an altera tion in our penal system, and in the treatment of the sick poor in workhouses, marked him out as one of the most liberal minded of Tory politicians. His appearance at Birmingham yestenlay is in full accord with the reputation he has earned; and if the sum total of human wisdom was not greatly increa.k.ed, an example of intelligent human interest was set, which the younger members of his order may follow with advantage. ELECTION ROW. MR. HARVEY LEWIS seems to have bad a bad time of it ut St. Pancras yesterday evening. The honourable member's constituents were particu larly lively, and the honourable member himself SCOW; to have been goaded into a temporary for getfulness of time and plat*. That an elector should ask annoying, and oven insulting, questions as to the " tea-room "" and other matters is less surprising than that Mr. HARVEY LEWIS should bandy personalities with him as a " fellow," and a " bantam cock" ; while " Confound him ! I " have always vot,sl for the ballot," as a mode of apostrophising a voter which is at least as energetic as polite. But the whole procordings mid like a bad imitation of the worst election scenes of a generation back. Mr. LixosAy'e public complaint of the manner in which ho was defeated at Newport sixteen years ago when rival parties of "men " from the hills" conducted the canvass by means Gf bludgeons, is recalled by the following graphic •$X picture of last night's pri;oloollliss Pancras Vestry-hall : < ti Many of the gentlemen on the platforik, two three in tie front now especially, played a distinguished part in the fray, which wan coon changed into the ridiculous by a short. corpulent, elderly gentleman, who rolled 'linnet( into the front, and for the space of two or throe minutes was soon, with very red face, like the gentleman in " Pickwick," " sparring away like clockwork." Several other reetrymen shovel pugi' listio tendencies, one powerful parochial legislator hitting nut nyeatedly from the etiolate into space, and uthere , beating the air with equal ferocity. In all directions upon the platform gentlemen wore shouting at, and, indeed, above, the top of their voices, at each ether, at tkol hon. member, or at the thedreism, until the latter gentldman, outehouting the whole, demanded, "Do ynu Matt your member to break a blood-vessel P Then for goodness sake hear him." This oryweinderii 414.1 hentimen Weenie ellfeet, and Mr. Lewis in acme fashion was allowed to finish.' The remaindeg of the proceedings was mere tumult and (teed& moot. ?Loot of the questions asked were eo confused, or the mode of asking so rude, that they produced betti but disorder. Thalnia member's answer were hardly whited for before they were condemned by a large motion of the meeting. Wo are told afterwards that the only clear , ie. prendon of opiniee to bo gathered from the eon eluding tumult was, that Mr. Lawry was obnoxious and Dr. Sarrnirrrn popular. The vote of confidence was lost, and the chairman of the meeting, as well as tho candidates, had to leave the room incontinently. It is earnestly to be hoped that this disgraceful behaviour will tilt be repeated elsewhere. There are abundant ways of making a member feel that his conduct to his party has not met with the approval of those he represents. Mr. LENII:4 . B part in the Tea-room conclave was nearly as in significant as Mr. ARTHUR KINNAIRD'S, who found his way there, as ho pathetically wrote, by chance, and remained through innocence of heart. Still it is s fair stroke of eleotioneering tactics to remember the fact now. But the turbulent brawlers who misbehaved thsmselvea yesterday were probably innocent of political feeling. They were the " roughs" of parochial life, and should be put down with a strong hand, like other dis turbers of the public peace. OPENII+TO OF Till? MEDICAL SCHOOLS. TO-DAY the medical schools of London, to the number of about a dozen, and as many more in the country, are opened by intro ductory addresses to the freshmen. More than a thousand youths come up from the quiet of their schools or colleges for a long appren ticeship to the pestle and mortar. After two or three words of welcome, some general direc tions as to the best methods of study, and a few hints concerning the varied bearings of the profes sion they have chosen, they find themselves face to face with accident, disease, and death, with the privilege of witnessing the medical and surgical practice of the beet physicians and surgeons of their country. Every Ootober the profession is thus recruited, and as each student " walks the , hos pitals " for three or four yours, some four to five thousand gentlemen are constantly preparing themselves for combat with the physical ills of humanity. A certain class of readers generally look fur newspaper reports of these inaugural lec tures and are curious to know smiething of the machinery by which a young num is made a doctor. Others hope to see the announce ment of new discoveries ; and all who arc intelligent enjoy the perusal of the bril liant yet practical productions of the eminent stoves who on these occasions happily blend pro fessional advice with lessons of moral philo sophy. The effect of the addresses on the students themselves would be greater if the orations were preceded or followed by a public distribution of the prizes obtained by students of the previous year, and if mothers, sisters, and other ladies were invited to be present. Must of our London hos pitals boast the possession of spacious and handsome halls, and these once in the year might be made the scenes of snob gatherings as we have sug gested. This introduction to his career might be more serviceable to the student than a bare ad dress, prefaced probably by the credo remarks and rough sibillations, not to say boisterous behaviour, of the second and third years' men who have come down for a " bit of fun." DRATII OF SIR CUSACK RONEY. A FAMILIAR figure in railway circles has just disappeared from the scene. Sir CUSACK RONEY, whose name is intimately associated with railway history both in the old and the now world, died yesterday morning at his residence in Cleveland square. The deceased knight first became known as the secretary of the Eastern Counties line, an office which he filled while Mr. GEORGE Hunsox was still the leadingpotentateef railways. He was after wards closely connected with the Grand Trunk of Canada Railway and with Irish and Continental iailwey enterprise ; his long experience of all mat ters pertaining to railways rendering his services valuable when any new scheme had to be launched or any grand phut of operations to be accomplished. A few months ago Sir CUSACK published a voluminous work relating to railways, in which an immense number of facts and anecdotes were presented in a readable form. Immediately before his death he spent a few weeks at Brighton for the benefit of his health, but unhappily the hopes of restoration were disappointed. In society, and among all his associates, the deceased was a favourite, on account of his amiable temper and genial disposition. He died in the 60th year of his age, leaving a son and three daughters to lenient a read loss. LORD LYTTON'S NEW PL:I K ON Saturday night a new five-act play, fzoin the pen of Lord Lyrrox, will be produced at the Lyceum Theatre, and in the present condition of the metropolitan stage this is an event of sufficient literary and dramatic importance to merit some little preliminary notice. The play in question, which will be called The Rightful Heir, and in which Mr. 13ANnztattn will represent *leading cha racter, is not quite new, nor has it been altogether sucussful. It was first produced at thollayiaurket Theatre, Oct. 31, 1839, under the title of The Sea Captain, or The Birthright, with Mr. /tacitEntw, Mr. PM:LIM, the late Mrs. WAKNKR, and Micas HELEN FAUCIT in the principal characters. The scene is laid in the North of Devon towards the end of ELIMBUTH'B reign, and is suggestive of Mr. fiLous's play of True to the Cure, the T. P. COOKX prize drama performed with 80:much suc cess at the Surrey. It was not played for any great length of time ; but Lord Lrrrox, having made certain alterations in its form, has spared no effort during the last few years to bring it again I upon the London stage. Mr. WUJAN, Mr. PRIMPS, and every manager of any importance has had it " under consideration," and the noble author's perseverance has at last been rewarded. In order of time it stands after Richelieu, The. Lady of Lyons, and The Duchess de la Valliere. - ~- - ; s* • ot. .• n VI - iN6IIII . • N m '4lA - ion . • AL - 'to th 714,' o i.:•k Cb h invites em to take 'the Baum, i cal Council at Rome; a similar • issivo to Protes tants, described in another column, exhorts them to profit by , the occasion and by the Porp's while rema in ing outside.

Aftor stating ,that his Upraises/tea in this ,invittition conformed to tho tradition Of the Church, which enjoins upon it constant efforts for peace and unity, the Noniteur proceeds to mumorato the oouncila in which schismatics have been summoned to take part, and amongst them oites that of Constance "at which," it adds, " Jogir Wise endVontw of " Prague, with their votaries in Bohemia, " were present."

OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TRH PALL Or TUE eristaff Traomt. It is not difficult, the Times Ofervot, to foresee that the fall of such a throne as that of Spain will Stied out in future days as one of the terrible judgmeotil sad warnings .of history. Since the and fall of the French monarchy iu 1792 there has been no revolution so indica tive of a transformation in the popular character of the nation that: has effected it; and it is impassible not tb be conecioua that the national heart must have been slowly chilled and hardened by tyranny before such a retribution could have fallen oa the royal head. Of the completeness of the revolution there can be uo longer a doubt. The "divine" right has seldom bad a more complete overthrow. To the proviiional government at Madrid belongs now the duty of choosing a successor to the Bourbon saile. With regard to the choice which that hovernment will make, the Timm think. 4 Ui accession of the Duke and Duchess of Montiumsier will not be popular with the multitude. Of the pretenders our contemporary says nothing; bid there are not wanting other prince, to whom the eye of the nation may fairly tarn, and the merits of these will probably be busily canvassed before many days are over. Tug ESDOWYLN7 or BOMAN CATUOLICIBII. The Doily .Newadilcueses the proposition which hue been made f r endowing the Roman catholic church coinci dently with the Anglican church in Ireland, and which has received theadhesion of Professor Plumptre, who urged mit ering in its favour io a letter which appeared in the TI„ eA yesterday. The Doily News denies that such a policy is, as alleged by Professor Plumptre, just in itself. If the .5t0,0001. a year now enjoyed by the Anglican church in Ireland is really an occlesiartnal fund on which the whole Irish nation has a claim, on what possible pretext can it be proposed to allot three-fifths of this sum to 700,000 Irishmen, and the remaining two-fifth of it to 4,500,000? To every 16 Anglicans in Ireland there aro about lOU Roman esthetics, and yet 11.0 former communion—which is at the same time the church of the rich—is to pocket 300,000 i. a year. while the latter—which is at the same time the church of the poor-As to be put off with 200,0001. a year. Professor Plemptre emit have keen eyes and sanguine expectations to see in each a settlement as this " the chief hope of a satisfaetory solution of th grave problems which we have to fact." Thu .lady Nista submits other urgent reasons against the pro posed endowment, and asks what Professor Plumptro has to offer that would compensate for the inesikable disadvantages that would result from such an arrange ment. The Telegraph regards the revenue returns issued last night as eminently unsatisfactory. The quarter's income was 15,119,005/. ; being an invitee of 205,'.16.5/. over the income of the same period in 1867, which was 14,913,7401. Fur the six months forming the first half of the financial year, the revenue shows an improve ment of 707,3431. And for the twelve months the net increase is 837,9011.—the difference between 69,470.4711. in the year that ended September 30, 1867, and 70,307,5621. in the year that ended last night. Under all heads it seems we are " making progress backwards." Compared with the receipts of the same quarter last year, cus toms have declined 11,000/. ; excise, 116,0001. ; stumps, 116,000/. ; and Post-office, 10,000 L—in all more than a quarter of a million under those departments of revenue that moat sensitively respond to the industrial and com mercial depression or prosperity of the country. On the other hand, the department of taxes shown the small in crease of 28,000!., and that of miscellaneous has improved 20,2651. So far, with the exception of the items under the head of " miscellaneous," all the calculations of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer have been falsified, and the Tel,- graph fears that all the new elasticity given by a bountiful and successful harvest will not suffice to deliver us from the apprehended deficit. The Post aerie in these returns a necessity for increased economy in the public expenditure ; for it is apparent that on the 31st March, 1862, there will be again, as has been the rule of late, a deficit to be met instead of a surplus to be appropriated to the reduction of national burthone.

" • ° •1 , (THIS DAYV,, , -: . .• .--- N • N This morning the interment of the ro . of the lato Dean Milman took place in that ne . id temple with which his name has so long been associated. At a qtiarter to 12 the %Mail prdoe t sion, having been formed at the great west door, whither the body was cerried from the deanery, commenced jil eolhiun prothme towards the choir. Winding its .=the nave, and passing under the dome, it to the choir, where the oefiln was depo sar; tressels tmmodistel in front of the lectern*. The mournful column was of mums very leek, comprising as it did nearly all the elergytif the cathedral; the absence, of the bishop of the diocese being soccitneed for by the fact that he is in Pane. During the passage of the funeral cortege, clergy and choristers chanted, to the :testae of Dr. Civet ; the funereal eenteneall. " Ism thereearrection and the life," do., thovoices resounding with raoureful grandeur through the whole edifice. Admission to the portion of the cathedral where the funeral • was performed was secessieflet by ticket, but only s few ploose seemed to have been specially reserved, these being near the vault pre pared far thereoeption of the bier. A largo Con gregation was collected under the dome, a space being railed off for the purpose of preserving order, and at the same time allowing adequate room for the procession. After the procession had terminated and those who formed it had taken their seats the Daity2dorn ing Service wee said an far as the Psalms. Then came the Venite—the 39th and 90th Psalms ; tho lesson I. Cor., ch. xr., v. 20, which was read by Archdeacon Halo ; and the Bone dictus, with the music of Patrick. The daily prayers were continued at the end of the Third Collect. The Anthem was from the music of (loge, the organist of the cathedral, who pre sided at the organ during the service, the words of the anthem being from I. Thessahmians, ch. iv., v. 14 and 18, " If wo believe that Jesus died bud rose again, even them also which sleep in Jesus will Ood bring with Him. Wherefore comfort one another with those words." G, OC A dirge having been played on the organ, the clergy, about 20 in number, approached the grave, which was between the lecterne and the steps leading to the chancel, andlhopoffin was lowered. Among the members of the chapter observed around the grave were Archdeacon Hale, Canon Dale, Canon Moll-ill (canon in residence). the hub dean (the Rev. W. H. Webber), Prebendary Gibbs, &c. In the immediate vicinity were seen the Hey. W. H. eon of the deceased and chief mourner, Dean Stanley, the Lord Mayor, Mr. John Murray, Mr. Penrose, &c. The funeral service was then prooend.si with to the end.

The lecturer at Ony's is Dr. Moron at Middlwaa Hospital, Dr. Sanderson at Charing-cross Hospital, Dr. Pollard ; at St. Bartholomew's, Mr. T. Smith ; at King's College. Dr. W. A. Ouy t at St. Thomas's, Dr. Barnes; at University College, Professor Rricharn ; at London Hospital. Mr. Critchell ; at St. Mary's, Mr. Lane. At Westminster the address will b.., delivered by Mr. F. Mason, F.R.C.S. The Bishop of London, who is on hi, return from Switzerland, preached on Sunday last. in the English church, Rue d'Agueseeau, Pans, to a large and attentive congregation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was pres Ont at an agricultural dinner at Wellingborough on Tuesday afternoon. In responding to the toast of his health, the right hon. gent'eman raid he had often been asked why he took such a prominent part in the cattle plague legis lation which marked the opening of the session of 1866. The reason was that as Northamptonshire had started the movement, urging the question upon the attentiou of the legislature, which was afterwards endorsed by the general body of agriculturists throughout the kingdom, a member for that county was the right man to bring the matter before the House of Commons. He looked back with great satisfaction on the course which he took on that oc casion. The speech contained no political allusion. The President of the Poor-law Board has been speaking on education at Exeter. Like Earl Granville, Lord Devon expressed his satisfaction that such great im portance was now attached to the acquisition of modern languages, and believed that no long time would elapse before physical science and other branches of learning, which had been hitherto neglected, would receive greater attention in our public grammar schools. Referring to the labours of the royal commission on education, the noble earl said he had no doubt that, ea a result of the investi gations, the old grammar school, would resume their places, both in affording instruction to those studying for the professions, and as channels through which those who wished might pass to the universities. A REDUCTION IN TILE ARMY.—It is confidently reported in military circles at Chatham that the authori ties at the War-office, in conjunction with those at the Horse Guards, have determined on making a considerable reduction in the tinny at the commencement of the en suing year. Among the reductions which it is stated will be first carried out is the abolition of most of the dep,A battalions, the great expense of keeping up a number of deli& battalions, with a largo staff of officers to each, not being anything like commensurate, in a military point of view, with the advantages gained from the system. Rumour also points to a considerable reduction in the number of troops serving in the North American and Australian pos sessions, with the view to the whole of the British troops being withdrawn from those colonies at no distant date, in compliance with the growing feeling in this canary of throwing the burden of the military defence of thee) rapidly increasing colonies ou the colonists themselves. Shoqld the proposal to garrison Malta entirely by Royal Marines, which appears to be looked upon with favour by the authorities, be carried out, some few regiments will also be released from military duty is that island, and their services rendered available elsewhere.—Tiuses. Tux REPRESENTATION 01 morn ing contemporary (the Star) states that Mr. Hughes has resolved to retire from the representation of Lambeth, thus leaving Messrs. Lawrence and M'Arthur sae for that borough, Mr. Hughes intending to offer his services to a borough whose present member, a distinguished liberal, has accepted an appointment incompatible with the retention of a seat in parliament." The borough thus alluded to is probably Frame, a vacancy in the represen tation of which mourn by the nomination of Sir H. Raw- Basco, M.P., to the Indian Council, Sir P. T. Cautley having retired from that body. THE ROYAL PARTY AT DUNROBIN.—Tho Prince of Wales gave a handsome gold watch as • prize at the Sutherland Ride Association held last week, which was gained by Sergeant Robert Rom,lst Company. The Duke of Sutherland gave a flue silver watch, which was gained by James W. 8. Guns, Golepie. The Princess of Wales, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Suth e drove out on Friday last. The . princess held there r its i t the turn-out, and went four- ion-hand at a rapid pace through Oulopie, the duke applying the drag when mom wary. The royal party, it is expected, will prolong their stay at Dunroliin for eight or teu days yet.-IVert• British .Daily Mail.

The continental journals of every shade of liberalism regard with satisfaction the flight of Queen Isabella from Spain, and tho prospect of a more :enlightened .dynasty. The proceedings of the provisional government of Spain, which must Act be confounded with the provisional junta of are awaited with anxiety. It hes already convoked constituent Cortes, in order that the country may decide upon the form of its government. But this can only be done when there is entire liberty of action, and the Debate appeals to the generals who have just dethroned Isabella to give proof of their wisdom and patriotism by abstaining from dictating to the conatry any one solution of the present difficulties, or from attempting by military fetus to overawe the electors. The Queen is stated to have sent an envoy to Marshal Serrano, but the latter refused to see him. The Literff, which professes to be in full possession of the views, sentiments, and projeots of the chiefs of the movement, has no fear of any re gency which may be to the advantage of the Queen. 1868, it says, will not repeat the faults and mistakes of 1834.

The following letter from Kan Sebastian appear,' in the Gironde: I hasten to tell you of an event which has caused an immense sensation hero. Of the three steamers which accompanied the Queen to San Solwatiaa one only—the Francisco Berja—remained. Last evening the captain, after dining with the naval com mander of Guipurcoa, received orders to anchor this morning in our roadstead. The Queen would thus have the vessel before her eyes when she openod her window, and it would be at her disposal. On roving this morning her Majesty wished to look at hor last venal, but sought for it in vain. At daybreak it had steamed out to sca at full speed, carrying the Progressista brigadier Ochs, who had arrived from Bayonne during the night, and his two nephews, lieutenants of the +hip Arapates, and one of whom was on the staff of the com mander at Uuipuzcoa. This young officer left a letter behind for the commandant, excusing himself for leaving so abruptly. "It seemed to me," he says, " that honour called me to the rendezvous which all the Spanish navy has accepted, and we go to join at Ferrol our comrades already there." Her Majesty, it la sad, had a tit of sager, which even M. Mafori had much trouble to allay. At last, at one o'clock, accompanied by her poor husband, she went of; to church in 3 closed carriage, driven almost at a gallop. (111:11000S £GUCT.) PARIS, Oct t.

" The Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Prince, surrounded by the members of the im perial household, awaited the arrival of the Queen at the railway station. After an interview. which was marked by such expressions of sympathy which misfortune never fails to inspire, the train proceeded to Pau, where the Queen intends to take up her residence for some titue, at the castle, which the Emperor has placed at the disposal of her Majesty." The Mvsaiteur says in its bulletin : •• Serious events have occurred in Spain within the last two days, but have only become blown by telegraph. Particulars are still wanting. The encounter expected between the commander of the royal troops, Marquis de Novaliches, and Marshal Serrano, which it was considered would have a decisive character, took place on the 28th instant. "The Official Gazette of Madrid of the 29th instant, contains a report of the battle, de scribing it as of minor importance. and while admitting that General Novaliches had been wounded, as serting that he remained master of the field. " A certain agitation, however, wets manifested at ►he capital, and the government issued a prii elanuttion exhorting the inhabitants to maintain order. The particulars of the battle at the bridge of Alcola, and what immediately followed, have not transpired. It would appear, however, that General Manuel de la Concha resigned his post upon the reports he received from the Marquis do Novaliches personally, when the hitter arrived in the course of the afternoon. " A provisional junta alis then formed, com posed of men representing the various shades of the parties engaged in the movement. This junta, which now governs Madrid. is presided over by Senor Madoz.
