Twenty years ago we were much shocked by the strange theories of labour and capital which were so rapidly making way on the other side of the Channel ; but there are now large districts of our own country where a really efficient plan of combining the two great factors of production would be welcomed by all classes, and where almost any " organization of labour" would be regarded as a change for the better after the experience of disorganization in 1866. The last year was a year of strikes and lock-outs, and public attention has been fixed on the evils of this kind of warfare to an extent never before known. Whole armies of workmen have braved the perils of famine in contests with their employers, and capital, which had been accustomed to circulate in fertilizing streams, has been condemned to stagnation. Con tests of this kind have not the one compensation which can be claimed for war in its familiar forms. When two countries draw out their forces and meet in armed conflict, the result of their en counter generally supplies a basis on which new and permanent relations may be forthwith built up between them. A government loses a pro- vince in battle, and perceiving that the loss is final accepts it with fortitude, and makes peace with its antagonist, perhaps enters into alliance with him, but rarely attempts or hopes to unsettle what the sword has decided. But the war of labour and capital settles nothing, and can settle nothing. Its peace is nothing better than an armed truce. If at a given time an arrange ment is made which an indifferent third party might upon examination approve as equitable, the eircumstancea upon which the arrangement de pends are always changing or tending to change, while in other cases the success of one of the parties is regarded as due to the pressure which the other is for the time able to exercise. The master cannot and does not resign himself to a permanent diminution of the profits necessary to yield him a fair return as interest for his capital and to cover the risks of trade ; and the workman who believes that he is underpaid works unwillingly, and watches for the first opportunity of striking again. These evils are forcing themselves upon public notice, and it has become evident that there are large classes above the condition of the workmen whom they only bewilder and vex. This is the state of mind which betrays itself in the hoarse chiding of which we have lately heard so much. There are some minds so constituted by habit that they in variably refer everything which •causes inconve nience to some moral fault. They are incapable of understanding that time and change may make old arrangements work ill without anybody being to blame. It would be foolish to quarrel with this temper ; but we may hope that, with reference to the present question, the public is getting tired of it, and that as we have now remained a consi derable time in the denouncing and exhorting stage, we are coming to its end, and shall soon be ins a mood to perceive that these disputes do not come of the unmitigated badness either of masters or of men, but are incidents of changes which have been gradually taking place in the ideas of our generation, the inevitable accompani ment of a period of transition. A dogged social conservatism asks testily why labourers cannot be satisfied to work, as they formerly did, for the highest wages offered them, without casting their eyes upon the employers' gains. The question is not worth pursuing. In nine cases out of ten they are content so to work. In the tenth, if the men have the power to decline to work on terms which, aft.•r all the explanation that is practicable has been riven, still remain unsatisfactory, their diaeatisfacti m will be taken by sensible men as an ultimate fact, lii.o the market value of materials or the rate of discount, and as neither a subject for prai,c nor blame. The old school of political economists took great pains to teach the men that their labour is merely a commodity, and they therefore form their own judgment as to what the consumer of it can be induced, by means of their hesitation and delay, to offer. Of course they make great mistakes. While they remain mere workmen, without an interior knowledge of the trade, they are not in a position to estimate the actual or probable profits of employers ; they can not enter into the complex calculations which induce a roan of business to embark his capital in an undertaking liable, from competition and from The TioiteN is far from disputing the importance which may be attached even to the few commonplace sentences uttered by the French Emperor at yesterday's reception ; and the hopes and wishes of Napoleon for peace ought to be equivalent to • guarantee of its continuance. There was a time following the general confusion consequent on the disturbances of 1348, when he held the post of an international policeman, but for the discharge of so jealous au office it was necessary that his motives should bo essentially pure, and his acquisition of Savoy and Nice was • blunder which lowered France in her own est'mation, and exposed h e r to unappeasable mistrust. Still, up to last spring, he might have stopped a war, or have given it such • turn as would have laid Central Eurdpe at his discretion. Instead of this he put forth claims for compensation, and ten dered, as it were, his tacit complicity with the depre dator upon condition of a share in the spoils. Hie moral influence was gone before the outbreak of hostilities—his credit for sagacity was damaged by their unforeseen re sults. His exertions at Nikolsburg hardly covered his retreat. And now his scheme for the re-or ganisation of the army at home is one of thou mea sures by which be destroys whatever faith in his infalli bility may yet exist. Let him beware lest upon his de mand of further sacrifices France should look to the results hitherto achieved. The Dnperor Napoleon has spoken in a friendly and benevolent tone to the agents of foreign powers. Has he no words equally reassuring for his own subjects ? Can he not announce to them " a new era of peace" —an era of unarmed peace ? Sketching the manner in which the last few years have compelled us to modify our estimate of the elements of power in Europe, the Daily News expresses considerable doubt whether any French army would be large enough to make good the Emperor Napoleon's proposition to place the limit of Southern Germany at the Main; and, review ing the proposal of the Emperor of Auatna of a law embodying the principle of • general liability to military service, remarks that the Reichsrath will probably insist on looking beyond mere military con siderations when called on to decide on the merits of the scheme. If the Austrian army is to be strengthened for the defence of the old system, under which all the races of the Empire have lost heart, and which, as was seen last July, has demoralised even the Germans of Austria Proper, then the end will soon air ive. Men only fight with a will and to the last for that which represents their hopes and their interests. The great need of Austria is a political organisation such as will satisfy its various populations. And for this the Empire has still *Await. The Telegraph believes that the Emperor desires not only the prosperity of nations, but the stabilityof thrones, yet doubts whether we have reached an era of national tranquillity. The changes introduced by the late war into the political condition of Europe, and by the conse quent elevation of Prussia into • power of the first order, are of too grave a character not to unsettle the stability of many political fabrics ; and the Telegraph cannot but fear that when the brilliant holiday of the Exhibition is over old jealousies will revive, and that the most dex terous statesmanship will be requisite to avert complies tions. In the East, too, we see abundant reason for the general fear that pesos cannot be long preserved. The Times condemns steeplechases as • pastime ha zardous to human life, as involving inevitable cruelty , and as encouraging the lowest possible form of gambli ng . Only last week two horses met with fatal accidents in • single race for the " Hamilton Hunt Mate," at the Ealing Christmas Steeplechases. If it be right to fine or imprison • poor costermouger for beating his donkey too severely, the same measure oughtsurely to be dealttothose, whatever their station, who brutally overtax, for the sake of winning • prize, the powers of willing horses. Steeplechasing, at be best, is racing, with danger to life and limb super. added, and we deprecate it, as we should deprecate • sailing match in which the contending yachts should be made to steer among rocks and shoals. There is nothing really elevating in courting personal risk for an utterly unworthy object ; there is something positively demoralising in witnessing such exhibitions out of a mere craving for excitement. Sir Franei2 Head, while thinking that the Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to Animals were mistaken in charging " that quiet, g►me-looking little rider, Mr. Crawshaw, with cruelty to his horse which broke his back at the steeplechase at Croydon," says he has always con sidered steeple-chasing to be an unsportsman-like exhibi tion of valour without discretion. " Voightlander be says, " not because he was exhausted by cruel riding, but because, being too fresh and joyful, he jumped only for height, and thereby throwing himself out of gear for jumping breadth, his feet, pasterns, and body landed on the turf in a false position, and so, greatly to the grief and disappointment of his gallant little rider, down he came, and for a few minutes remained prostrate, with Mr. Craw shaw's leg underneath him. Poor, noble animal! As I rode home I passed him with his head dangling downwards from • knacker's cart. Only • few days before I had happened to pass • horse in the agonies of death front having fallen at • teat on a turnpike road." At a meeting of the clergy of Wolverhampton, convened by the Rev. G. Fraser, ILD., rural dean, and held about a fortnight since, the following address was agreed to and signed by the whole of the clergy, twenty one in number: "TO HSR MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUM. " May it please your Majesty—We, the clergy of the United Church of England and I relan d, officiating in the town of Wolverhampton, in the county of Stafford, and diocese of Lichfield, humbly desire to approach your Majesty with feelings of loyalty and devotion to your Makcsty's person and throne. We acknowledge with much thankfulness the wisdom and justice of your Majeety's rule and dominion, and humbly beg to express our admira tion of the Christian virtues with which your Majesty's character is conspicuously adorned. We respectfully declare our conviction that the softening influences and bright example of your Majesty's whole career as a woman, wife, and mother, have, under God, tended to the increase of true religion and domestic happiness throughout your Majesty's dominions. We also respectfully declare our belief that the honour which your Majesty has conde scendingly confer.ed upon South Staffordshire by your Royal visit to Wolverhampton, will, through the Divine blearing, increase in all your Majesty's subjects in this district, who 'fear God,' obedience to His command, I Honour the Queen,' and will be the means of keeping in their remembrance the unblemished and noble chants , ter, the virtuous, active, and btmeficent life of his royal highness the late illustrious and lamented Prince Consort. We humbly pray unto Almighty God that be would be pleased to pour upon your Majesty and your royal house the choicest blessings of his favour; that He would grant to your Majesty health, wealth, and long life; that He would strengthen your Majesty to vanquish and overcome all the enemies of your Majesty ; and that He would of His infinite loving-kindness, after this life, crown your Majesty with everlasting joy and felicity, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Given under our hands this 30th day of November, in the year of our Lord God The address was neatly written on vellum, with orna mental headings. It was placed in the hands of the Mayor to be forwarded to her Majesty, and the following reply from the Home-office has been received, addressed to the town-clerk : " Whitehall, Dec. 27, 1866. " Sir,—l have had the honour to lay before the Queen the loyal and dutiful addreu (which accompanied your letter of the 21st inst.) of the clergy of the United Church of England and Ireland, officiating in the town of Wolver hampton, on the occasion of her Majesty's recent visit to that town ; and I am to inform you that her Majesty was pleased to receive the address very graciously. " I am, air, your obedient servant, " S. H. WaLeote.." The death is announced of the Hon. Mrs. Butler, wife of the Hon. Charles Lennox Butler, who died on Monday at Caton House, Warwickshire. She was the only daughter and heir of Mr. Thomas Lindsay Holland, and was married in Mai to the Hon. Charles Lennox Butler, son of the 13th Lord Dunboyne. We have to announce that the Hon. John Ashley, youngest son of the late and brother of the present Earl of Shaftesbury, died yesterday morning, from an attack of bronchitis, at his residence in Upper Brook-street, Gros. venorsquare. The late hon. gentleman was born Dec. 21, 1808, and married, March 17, Is-10, Julia, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Henry John Conyers, of Copt Hall, Essex. The deceased gentleman was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, and was called to the bar of the Inner Temple in 183 G. On Saturday the Lord-Lieutenant and the Mar chioness of Abercorn personally distributed, to about 400 poor families resident in the immediate neighbourhood of the Viceregal Lodge, clothing, blankets, &a., to the value of over 1201. In addition to the presents given on this occasion, and their excellencies' donations to all charities which are brought under their notice, very largo sums are constantly disbursed to persons found to be in distress, and every week soup is given from the Viceregal Lodge to a hundred poor families resident in the pariah and the adjoining districts. On one point the economy of the project is materially modified. The charges remain as before, or nearly so, and the sacrifice which the country is to make is almost as great as was at first contemplated ; but the executive power is not to have the power by a mere stroke of its pen to call out the 600,000 men of the reserve. A bill presented to the Corps Legislatif will be necessary to justify the mobilisation. These amendments constitute a notable progress in the opinion of theme charged with the task of reorganising our national forces. It is en calming to observe that the more the civil element in. terferes in the question the more the rights of citizens and their representatives is taken into consideration. This is as it should be. The Council of State could not possibly look at the question in the same way as a commission composed of the highest military functionaries of the army accustomed to look at everything from an exclusively military point of view. Let us hope that from one change to another there will ultimately remain scarcely anything of the original project of the Moniteter. The Pays announces under the signature of its secretary of redaction that M. Paul de Cassagnac, having accepted the conditions of a duel proposed by M. Henri Rochefort, "which public opinion for the last two days has considered absurd," left Paris yesterday evening, accompanied by his seconds and his brother, in order to fight in Belgium. Two telegrams dated Turcoing, received in Paris at 3 this afternoon, bring the intelligence that the duel was prevented by the Belgian gen darmerie. The Pays observes that the interven tion of the police was manifestly occasioned by the publicity given to the challenge by M. Rochcfort's paper, the Soleil, whose pars graphs on the subject were reproduced in Belgium, and that M. Paul de Cassagnac had nothing to do with it. At the same time his colleagues in the Pays cannot regret that a stop has been put to a rencontre which they think ought never to have been accepted ; and M. Paul de Cassagnac's friends are unanimously of opinion that in going to the ground chosen by his adversary, he did his duty, but " the whole of his duty." M. H. do Rochefort would deserve to be hardly used by a jury if after this he should further thirst for M. Paul de Cassagnac's blood. It is true that he will probably in that case have to go without satisfaction. What the cause of quarrel is I am as ignorant of as the Paris public ; but I know that the " point of honour" among French journalists has lately been carried to a most ridiculous extent. One of the leading topic of the comic journals in their review of the year 1866 is the prevalence of press duels. Let us hope that at the beginning of 1867 M. Paul de Caasagnac I will follow the advice of his friends, and not persist in throwing his life away in a foolish quarrel. A Swiss citizen, a native of the canton of Uri, was some months ago flogged for having published • pamphlet against the catholic religion. The Federal Assembly, to which he appealed, has just decided by a large majority that he was entitled to no redress, because flog ging was an institution adopted in the code of the state of Uri, and that the Federal Assembly cannot interfere with the jurisdiction of that sovereign canton. The Pays, commenting on the barbarous and altogether antiquated of the canton of Uri, urges in mitigation the absurd argument that the "cat-o'-nine-tails" is yet used in the English army. The logic of the Pays is that those who object on humane grounds to a particular mode of punishment for undoubted crime are estopped from protesting against the like punishment for no crime at all. The memorial to be generally distributed among the Prussian combatants in the sueoesdultempsign is jut being turned out by the foundries. It consists of a cross east from the metal of Austrian guns, and bearing on one aide the following inscription, " God was with us, to Him be the grilse ;" and on the reverse, " Koniggrfits, July 3, VOL" The Prussian House of Lords is being adapted to receive the new North German nuilansant within itswalls If all goes well, elections will oome off in January, sad the new assembly will meet in the beginning of February. Nineteen of tho French bishops have, down to the present date, addressed pastoral letters to their clergy on the dangers which, according to them, are impending over the Holy See. _ _ Letters from St. Petersburg state that the Em peror of Russia bas just signed a decree 'oppressing the Italian Opera in that city for the year 1867. The reason appears to be the 4mallneas of the receipts compared to the enormous cost. REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT TORQUAY. PLYMOUTH, TUMMY Mom - - A most successful reform demonstration took I plasm at Torquay this afternoon under the =apiece of the local Reform League. The weather was fine, and business was in a great measure suspended. About 1,000 persons marched in promesion, consisting of mem ben of the Reform League and branches a trades unions In the town. The procession paraded the principal streets with large banners and six bands. The greatest order pre. Tailed, and no accident occurred, although the streets were crowded. At a meeting held on Ellaeombagreen, lent for the purpose by Sir Lawrence Pit, )LP., the following resolutions were eathusiiistically passed : " That this meeting desires to enter a solemn protest against, and its denial of, the charges of venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and indifference to reform brought against the working classes during the last session of par lament, and declares that no reform bill falling short of the principles of registered residential manhood suffrage and vote by ballot will be satisfactory to the people, or be accepted as a final settlement of the reform question. That this meeting acknowledges the services of Messrs. Gladstone, Bright, Mill, and others who supported the people's claims and vindicated their characters in parlia ment, and prays them to continue their labours with renewed energy until the working classes are fully repre sented." ICS TOPICS. The Daily Neva oontends that it is entirely incorrect to describe the political movements which are now taking place in the United States by any such word as that of " revolution." Had secession not failed, the disruption of the Union would have been a revolution ; but the revolu- tion was defeated, and the Union preserved. In a social sense the emancipation of the negroes is • revolution, and Use ;Images which are taking place, and will yet take pie e, in the Southern States might be fitly described by that ominous word.

The Northern Whig notices the recent deputa tion from the elementary education committee of the General Assembly to Lord Naas in reference to the pro posed changes in the system of national education. Lord Naas could not give the deputation a definite answer as to the course which the government would take on the matter. The subject must be brought before the cabinet at one of its early meetings, and it was not for him to say whether Lord Derby would be prepared to state the views of the government previous to the meeting of par liament. Lord Brougham has addressed the following letter (in French) to M. Berry er : --` • Cannes, Dec. 31.

On taking leave of the public I thought it incumbent on me to express my sentiments against wars, and against those great murderers of whom the Emperor Napoleon I. was the most guilty. But I have added that his nephew, Napoleon 111., has great merit for his declarations against war. My indignation against those murderers was accompanied by my scorn for the folly of those who encouraged them by their applause.— Accept the assurance of my sincere friendship. 11. BROUGHAM." Some of the placards used in the late Waterfoil election were very inflammatory, the following for exam ple : " People of Waterford,—ln the olden time the Beres. ford Bloodhounds hunted your forefathers info untimely and bloody graves!

A communication from Russia, in the Cologne Ca:cite, says :—" The trial commenced against the Poles employed on the work, on the road to Bakal and who had revolted, took place lately at Irkutsk, in Siberia. Seven of the leaden, and at their head Narcissus Cielinski, forty-eight years of age, have been condemned to be shot. The second group was formed of 194 insurgents, who had fought the troops and fled to the mountains. Of this category one in ten will be put to death ; the others will receive 100 blows with the knout and be sentenced to work in the mines for life. The accused of the third group, to the number of 92, are condemned to various punishments ; those of the fourth, 133, remain an suspect ; the others, 260, have been acquitted."

'Eovr..—A complaint has been addressed to us that the writer of ' Public Affairs' in a previous number of the Review misquoted one of Mr. Bright's speeches, in which the speaker used words to the effect that ' half the land of Scotland and of England was in the hands of 12 and 150 proprietors respectively,' Instead of ' half,' by a clerical error we printed' all.' Mr. Bt4ht gave no auto. risy for his statement, and the writer believes the amended version to be inaccurate, as well as that which he road. vertently printed ; but he hastens to correct the error, unwittingly made, and to apologise for its commission." This is simply It ignores altogether that part of Mr. Jacob Brt's complaint which referred to the ex. Unordinary misrepresentation of the words, " I deny altogether that the rich alone are qualified to legislate for the poor any more than that the poor alone would be qualified to legislate for the rich. These words were perverted by the writer in the Fortnightly into " the poor are the only peole fit to legislate for the rich," and an offensive and m align inference was drawn from the lan. goage thus invented. This was, by far, the most serious part of the charge against the Fortnightly, and was dwelt upon most emphatically, and at greatest length by Mr. Jacob Bright. About this the " public and adequate acknowledgment " of error says not one word.--Slar. MIL BRIGHT AND THE " FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW." The Editor of the Fortnightly Review promised Mr. Jacob Bright, in the letter which we published yea terday, " a public and adequate acknowledgment" of the " inaccuracies" in the " statements" made regarding Mr. Bright, M.P. The January number of the Fortnightly, just issued, contains the " public and adequate acimow ledgment." It is printed in very small type ; and this L it LORD DUPPERIN ON IRELAND. Lord Dufferin has written another long letter to the Tines which be calls an answer to the question put to the Kilkenny parliament—" How is it that the King is not the richer for Ireland ?" Dealing first with the state. went that the fountain bead of Ireland's calamities is traceable to the Irish proprietary of former days, Lord Dufferin first suggest. and then inquires " whether the Irish landlord of 100 years ago may not himself have been • creature of circumstance, involved in the com plexities of a system of which he was as much the victim as his tenants." In dealing with his property the Irish landlord _must be supposed to have " pursued his own advantage with more or less intelligence, and in doing so exercised • right not only legitimate in itself, but which has been universally recog nised as the main spring of human progress. But it is objected that the practical results of his proceedings have been over-population, rack-rents, and an exodus of 2,000,000 souls. The question is, have these phenomena followed in such direct sequence as is alleged, or have other influences, independent of the landlord's agency, vitiated • system which otherwise would not have been unhealthy? Now, of the three evils he is supposed to have occasioned, the two last are the direct con sequences of the first. A rack.rent is the pro duct of competition, and both competition and emigration are the results of over population. As a matter of fact, however, it does not apppear (says Lord Dufferin) that the Irish landlords of former days dealt harshly with their tenantry. Even Mr. Eutt admits that during the whole of the eighteenth century there were scarcely any evictions, and that long leases were almost universal ; while Judge Longfield states that so late as 1835 there was very little land in the southern and western counties not on lease, and that ' most of the leases were all in the tenants' favour.' Nor are even the middlemen deserving of all the abuse which has been heaped upon them, for they, too, were rather the exponents than the cause of the people's misery." Lord Dufferin then addressing himself directly to the solu tion of the question why" the king is none the richer (or Ireland," finds the answer in the commercial jealousies of Great Britain. " From Queen Elizabeth's reign until the Union the various commercial confraternities of Great Britain never for a moment," he says, " relaxed their relentless grip on the trades of Ireland. One by one, each of our nascent industries was either strangled in its birth, or handed over, gagged and bound, to the jealous custody of the rival interest in England, until at lest every fountain of wealth was hermetically sealed and even the traditions of commercial enterprise Lava perished through desuetude." Having quoted the enact. menta against the exports of Irish cattle, wool, hides, Stc., ke., he asks " What has been the COO sequence of such • system, pursued with relentless per. tinacity for 2.'hl years? This : that, debarred from every other trade and industry, the entire nation thing itself back upon the land ' with as fatal an impulse as when a river whose current is suddenly impeded rolls back and drowns the valley it once fertilised. For a long time, however, the limits of their own island proved sufficient for the three or four mil -1 lions which then inhabited it. The cheapness of proof. eions used to be the bugbear of the English manufacturer. But each successive century found the nation more strait ened within its borders. At last a choice had to be made between the sacrifice of domestic happiness or of physical I comfort. ; the natural liveliness of their affections, coa -1 blued with a buoyant temperament, led the people to ac cept the latter alternative. The mildnessof the climate, the cheapness of fuel, and, above all, the suitableness of the po tato to what is technically called fa petite elettare' ountri i buted to turn the scale, and early marriages continued Ito remain a characteristic of the Irish peasantry." One manufacture alone in Ireland was left free and un affected by the hostile tariffs of England—that of linen — and the prosperity of Derry, Belfsat, and Lisburn shows what the rest of Ireland might have been but for the commercial restrictions which irnpedid her progress. It is / his lordship's profound conviction that "bad Ireland only been allowed to deve:op the other inotimenille resources at her command, as she has developed the sing!. industry in which she was permitted to embark, the equilibrium be tween the land and the population dependent the land would never have been disturbed, nor weal I tle relations between landlord and tenant have betsolie a subject of anxiety." " If," he says, in conclusion, "an alteration is to be made iu the tenure of laud in belied, the alteration must be founded on abstract principk. of justice, and the requirements of present policy. my eminent state,- men view with regret the relative position of the cathialm and protestant clergy of Ireland. But whenever the tine arrives for effecting an improvement the change will be because a century ago Irish bis'iops were sometimes lax and individual clerityliwn occasionally inefficient, but because it is required by justice and recommended by expediency. By a parity of rear souring it is evident that it would lio as great an outrage now to visit with penal legislation the purchaser cf a pro perty in the Encumbered Estates Court because :0) years ago the grandfather of the former pre prietor created 40s. freeholders (a tenure of which Mr. Butt, I ob,erve • speaks almost with approval) and took the best rent, as it would be to load Mr. Bright with the responsibility of Ireland's misfortunes because the particular manufacture in which he is interested owes more than any other its pr es ent pees perity to the cruel policy towards Irelniid his prolecessurs inaugurated." "S. G. 0." remarks that Dr. Pusey's late lottery make it clear that though in the opinion of the school of neo-catholics a priest has power t o hind and loose, it is a limited power. "If a person makes a vow, being very young, under some delusion common enough is an age when religion, especially with women, is made so exciting as to become little short of hysterical, no priest can absolve from it. A young son or d .egliter afflicted with the intimacy of one of these priests may be inoeu• lated with their pernicious nonsense, he suhjected to their arrogant assumption of Divine power, be separated from parental control, and before he or she has tinned by ex. perience at any real power of sound judgment be bound for life by a vow they may at last see they rashly took ; they are now told that for such breach of the command which claims their allegiance to their parents there is absolutely no absolution. I ask your reader.; to turn to the 30th chapter of the Book of Number. ; they will there read that in the case of children making vows unknown to their parents, wives doing the same thing unknown to their husbands, the voice of the Almighty declares them free-- that such vows shall not Mead."
