Whateley in the chair, a re p or t from the committee was read, from which the following is an extract :—" There have been three preliminary examinations in Birmingham daring the year for articled clerks ; at the first 14 were examined, of whom nine were passed by the special ex aminers; at the second I:: students were examined. of whom seven passed ; and at the third 15 were examined, of whom 12 palmed. The necessity for such examinations is fully shown by the amount of inefficiency in the very first elements of education—reading and writing—dis played by some of the candidates. The local examiners Lave had, in some cases, to refute even their certificate for reading, and the dictation papers frequently disclose an utter inability to spell correctly on the part of can• didates, moat of whom appear to be of respect able parentage, and all of whom are, of course, Presumed to have completed their education pre paratory to entering our learned profession. The want of thoroughness, indeed, in the groundwork of edu cation Is extra ordinary, considering the standing of the schools at which the candidates appear frequently to have been educated. The same want of thoroughness is also observable in the inure advanced and yet primary subjects of a liberal education—the answers given to very simple questions in geography and history being at times very re markable ; as, for instance, placing the Alps in the Island of Sardinia, describing the Duke of Marlborough as a famous British admiral, who commanded the Armada, and our great dr ama ti s t, B en Janson, as celebrated for his dic tionary. These examples sufficiently demonstrate the ne cessity which existed for the preliminary examinations in general knowledge, as • means of testing the fitness of a student to enter the ranks of a liberal profession ; and the result in raising the character of that profession by the exclusion of illiterate or imperf ectly educated persons cannot but be highly ben • " TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (=nab TIIIJOILMIL) ITALY. YLORENCE, Ocr. 28, EVRNING. The auction sales of the ecclesiastical property have been successful throughout Italy. The prices realised have greatly exceeded the official valua tion. It is stated that the Italian troops will cross the frontier should the French disembark at Civita Vecchia. Decrees are expected to be issued closing the insurrectional committees and calling out the military class of 1841. FRANCE. TOULON, Ocr. 28. The second French squadron left this morning with General Pothier's brigade for Civita Vecchia. The Intrepid° embarked the 59th and 80th Regi ments, with a battery. The conveyance of troops to Toulon continues. PARI3, OCT. 2S, EVENING. The Moniteur du Suir, in alluding to the events in Italy, announces the deaths of the Deputies Sancti and Aarbi in the engagement at Viterbo. The Prase of this evening says that Garibaldi, reinforced by several thousand deserters from the Italian army, has taken Monte Rotondo after a very severe fight. The Pontifical troops were in the proportion of one to ten. The insurgent bands marched immediately on Rome, and it is believed that Garibaldi has been since yesterday evening before the gates of the city. The French squadron has arrived at Civita Vecchia, and the troops commenced their disembar kation this morning. The Epoque says that according to a despatch from Florence a rumour is current there that the Italian troops had entered the Papal territory to-day. The Constitutionne/ of this evening publishes an article signed by M. Limayrac praising the procla mation of the King of Italy. " Victor Emma nuel," it says, " shows himself equal to the situation. He has spoken like a king, and he has thereby saved the honour of the Italian nation and the dignity of his crown." The Patrie of this evening states that there is a question of sending a circular despatch to the foreign agents of France abroad, to make known the real character of the French intervention in Italy, which is accurately explained in the note recently published by the Moniteur. The same journal announces that the new Italian Ministers made two conditions to their acceptance of of The first was that the King should publicly disavow any connivance at the violation of the Roman frontier by the Garibaldian bands ; and the second was that his Majesty should take steps to associate, by a movement on the frontier, the Italian army with the French intervention. It is expected that the Garibaldian enrolment committees and aid associations will be dissolved. It is stated that General Montauban will com mand the French expeditionary corps. According to the Patric, Lord Lyons wa.ara calved to-day by tiara:quilt de Moustier. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Ocr. 28. A royal decree has been issued addressed to the representatives of the post of Ban of Croatia, sanc tioning provisionally the laws submitted for the royal approval by the last Representative Assembly, with the exception of a few of its decisions which were in direct contravention with the justly-ac (juired historical rights and claims of Hungary. The decree also orders new elections to be held without delay for the Croatian Diet, which is to be shortly convoked to deliberate upon the representa tion of Croatia in the Hungarian Diet and in the delegations, as also the completion of the negotia tions for an arrangement •ith Hungary.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom out OWN 001111IPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVVIRIG. . . The situation, if not materially changed, enters upon an important new phase by the proclamation which the French government has at length forced from the unfortunate Victor Emmanuel. For se veral days past the semi-ofticial French organs have insisted upon a proclamation from the King dis avowing Garibaldi. Now that it has come, and that the King is thoroughly degraded in the eyes of his own subjects, they are not satisfied with his act of humiliation. The Patric says it oomes " late," is " in many respects more undecided than could be desired," and that in declaring that the King does not desire the abolition of the " spiritual" power of the Pope there is an equivocation, " evi dently intentional." In the same tone the Prase holds that the " reserves" of the proclamation de stroy in great part, and to a " dangerous extent,'' the resolutions which it professes. The France thinks that things have come to such a pass that " words" have no longer any value. In short, the King of Italy has tardily eaten dirt, and his hard taskmasters only despise him the more. The clerical Gazette de France, little pleased with the news of the day, exclaims : Is it not to be feared that the semblance of satisfaction which Victor Emmanuel gives us will result in the sem blance of an expedition The Bourse opened with much buoyancy, but became heavy afterwards, and Rente closed with a fall of 2ic. The evening Meniteur notices pmrnisently in a paragraph of three lines at the head of its columns that the morning Afuniteur publishes the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded on July 20, 1867, between France and the Pope. The inten tion of this announcement in such a form is evi. dently to take up the glove thrown down by the King of Prussia when he spoke of the " common interests" with Italy in the speech to which I called attention yesterday. THE REVIIII, AT LONOCHAMPS.—The Empress, at the late review, wore a robe of green satin and • black lace mantle, and her hat—a very full-grown het, as theme little ornaments for the hair are worn at present—was dressed with • band or fi loge of small green feather'. Baron von Benet was in • grand state uniform, which was quite cast into the shade b' the quiet and magniheent richness of Count Andrsasy'e Mayger dress, as that mag nate appeared by his side. The Emperor Francis Joseph rode on the left of the Emperor Napoleon, and next the troops. He was dressed in the Austrian cocked hat, with its enormous waving crest of lightish green feathers, a white tunic crossed by the broad red tiband of the Legion, scarlet pantaloon, with broad gold stripe, and was mounted on • fine charger, which he sat well, if somewhat stiffly. The Emperor Napoleon was on his favourite chest nut, and wore over his uniform the broad ribaud of the Austrian order of St. Stephen. Marshals, Generals, and officers—French, Austrian, and Italian—and great personages followed the line b ehind Prime Napoleon and the Archdukes Charles and Louis Victor. There was one red coat in the midst of the gay cavalcade—• red coat with silver epaulettes and buttons, surmounted by a cocked hat with white plumes, and supplemented by blue trousers with silver strips; it was Lord Houghton in the peaceful attire of • &pnti•lientenant of an English , county. When the review was over the Emperor soon halted In front of the Jockey Club Stand-pre. There was a rush of grooms towards the halting-place, but they were too late. The Emperor Napoleon dismounted caddy, and looked round for a moment for some one to take his horse, with his left foot in the stirrup and his right foot on the ground. The Emperor of Austria was out of the saddle, toe, and held his own harm for an instant OM the grooms sould sake way through the crowd of mounted officer*. Meantime the Empress Eugenie had left her seat in the pavilion, and had stood to watch their coming for a short time on the top of • flight of steps leading down to the epees in front of it. As soon as she saw they were coming towards the gate she descended, and walked to meet them. The Emperor Napoleon drew back • little to permit the Emperor of Austria to enter first into the enclosure. The Empress met Francis Joseph with outstretched hand, and as his Majesty bowed low, even " dropped," as they say, • curtsey worthy of the days of Louts the Great himself, while the Emperor in succession shook hands with the Queen of Holland and her children end with the Duchess of Cambridge. Then the archdukes shook hands with the Empress, or her Me. jesty did so with them, and, after many salutations all round, the Duchess of Cambridge and the Emperor of Austria " had a most vigorous, old-fashioned pump-handle shake-hands up and down, which it was refreshing to see." SLEEPING IN CHURCH. —DR. GUTHRIR ON SUNDRY TOPIC& —At a soiree held on Friday night at Niddrie School, on the occasion of its being re-opened after exten sive alterations and improvements, the Rev. Dr. Guthrie delivered an address, in the course of which he defined as follows the close relationship between sleeping in church and bad ventilation. lie and—l do not intend, because I am not very able, to address you at any length, especially in such a close and heated atmosphere as this, Seance we are very closely packed this evening, and whether there I. su ffi cient ventilation in this place for such • large audience I have some doubts. I am a great admirer of ventilation and fresh air, and I think it should be had, if possible, on all occasions. I remember that in my native city of Brechin, Lady Catnap who set up • school in the tenements, asked one of the little girls attending it what was the effect of opening a window. [Here one of the windows of the room was suddenly drawn down amid laughter and applause.] Her ladyship sup posed the little girl would answer that it let in the fresh air, but it was not so. Her answer was this—and we may have • proof of it immediately—" it let's in the amid." (Laughter.) But though that may be quite true, lam a very great advocate of fresh air being admitted into schools and houses. I sleep with my bedroom windows open every night. Some people might think that that would kill them, but it is well you should know that foul air is as bad for the health es foul meet—for sir is just food for the lungs—and one reason why you see so many people going to sleep in church is not because they have a bad preacher or • bad sermon, but because they have bad sir. (Laugh ter.) I remember I was once present in a congregation in the town of Thurso, which contained as many as 1,200 people ; and perhaps you will hardly believe me when I tell you that on that occasion I saw what I never saw before, and what I am sure you never saw, and what I hope I shall never see again—l saw six hundred people asleep ! (Laughter.) Six hundred people asleep! (Renewed laughter.) I happened et the time to be living with Sir George Sinclair, a very excellent gentleman who I resides in the immediete neighbourhood of that town. I told him what I had seen in the church. " Oh," said he, " that is nothing to what I have seen myself ; I have seen, I in almost every pew, the whole people asleep—with only ' here and there an exception." (Laughter.) Now, what was the cause of that ? It wss no fault on the part of the preacher ; for the minister, Mr. Taylor, is an excellent preacher ; and excellent people the congregation generally are ; but I told them, in addressing a meeting sonic days after, every man might as well have gone into an apothe cary's shop before he went to church and taken a dose of laudanum to set him to sleep—l say they might as well have done that as breaths the kind of air with which the church was filled. Now, I 'slab you to take care that you got plenty of fresh air, which is so essential to good health. (Applause.) THE FENIANS IN THE EAST OF LONDON. —The troop of Royal Artillery which has for the last fortnight been quartered at the Royal Armoury Company's Works, Old Ford, Victoria-park, where there is urwards of 3,000 stand of arms stored, to resist any attack from the Fenian in the east end of London, were relieved on Saturday by a detachment of Guards from the Tower, who now mount guard in the vicinity of the works. THE LOCK-OUT OF MINERS IN .SOUTH DERBY /MlSS.—This unfortunate lock-out, which has existed for some months, still continues. The men are greatly aided by the South Yorkshire Miners' Union, who have pro mised to see them through the conflict, The number of men now out is about 960, and the unionists have ob tained the names of 75 others who were to give notice to cease work in • fortnight on Saturday last. The masters have not only imported men from the Staffordshire dis trict, but they have several lecturers and agents in the district trying to establish a free labour society. The South Yorkshire Miners' Union have alsoseversl agents at work urging the men to be united, and not to yield unless the masters will accede to their demands. During the last three weeks the South Yorkshire Union has sent not less than 6101. towards the relief of those looked out. Tug BurrolA MORDER.—Tiecsae • t the prisoners William Martin and Charles Martin, charged with musing the death of John Burbridge in • street •tray at Sudbury, on the 19th inst., has now been hilly investigated. The magistrates have committed William Martin to take his trial at the next Suffolk assizes for the murder of Burbridge, and Charles Martin has also been committed as an abettor. It is doubtful whether William Martin will live till the day of trial in March next, as he suffers from beset disease. THE FENIAN SPECIAL COMMISSION AT MANCHESTER. The prisoners at Manchester yesterday were named in the calendar am follows :—William Gould, William O'Meara Allen, Edward Shore, Michael Lar kin, Charles Moorhens), Patrick Kelly, Michael M'Guire, John Martin, John Brannon, John Francis Nugent, William Martin, John Carroll. Michael Joseph Boylan, Michael Kennedy, Thomas Maguire, Henry Wil son, John Bacon, Patrick Coffey, Thomas Ryan, Thos. Smiley, Timothy Featherstone, William Murphy, Thos. Johnson, Daniel Redden, James O'Brennan Chambers, William Brophy. They stand charged in the calendar with " having at Manchester, on the 18th September, 1867, feloniously, wilfully, and of their malice afore. thought, killed and murdered one Charles Brett." With respect to education, the calendar states that Gould, Allen, Moorhotue, William Martin, and Boylan twho is a school master) can write and read well ; Shore, Larkin, M'Guire, John Martin, Nugent, Maguire, Wilson, Bacon, Coffey, Scalley, Featherstone, Murphy, Redden, Chambers, and Brophy read and write imperfectly; Carroll, Kennedy, and Ryan can read, but not write ; and Kelly, Brannon, and Johnson can neither read nor write. The dock, which is a strong oak box elevated in front of the bench, is pro. tooted above the woodwork with • strong iron palinode, that portion of it at the sides and back having spikes at the top. Seats are provided for the prisoners in four rowa. The calendar describes the assize as " a special delivery of the gaol for the county palatine of Lancaster of the prisoners therein being and detained, charged with any murdtrs, felonies, manslaughter., killings, burglaries, and misdemeanours, arising out of or in anywise connected with or committed on the eassion of all or any of the disturb ances and outrages lately committed in the said county palatine, aisd she the accessories of them, or who shall be therein detained for the like offences, or any of them, before the second day of November next, will be opened at the Assize Courts in Manchester on Saturday, the 28th day of October instant The prosecutors and WitiMMISINI are required to be in attendance on Monday morning, the 28th day of October instant, at 10 o'clock, at which hour the court will sit for the despatch of business. On other days during the said gaol delivery the court will sit at 1 9 o'clock a.m." The following is the list of the counsel retained by the government for the presecution :—The Attorney-General, Sir J. B. Kerslake, Mr. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. Bowler, Q.C., Mr. Harmer, and Mr. W. H. Higgin. For the defence Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Serjeant O'Brien have been specially retained, and will be assisted by Mr. Cottingbam and Mr. Bruen Jaime We understand that Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Kr. firelsent O'Brien have each re ceived a retainer of 150 guineas, but not through Mr. Roberts. The number of witnesses for the proucuticm is 57, examined before the magistrates, in addition to which the government informed Mr. Robert, on Saturday that there are Si witnesses for the prosecution who were not previously examined. Over 100 witnesses are subpceuied for the defence. . . . After the retirement of the grand jury, Mr. Dighy Seymour applied to the court on behalf of the prisoners for the postponement of the trial, on the plea that swam& had not had time for consultation and to advise with their clients or their solicitor. igiTpoetponemens of the appliestion until one of the bills before the grand jury had been returned. _ _ The conat the proceeded to empanel a common jury. Titers two a great number of excuses on the ground of sielosens, but a jury was empanelled by about half-past 11 *Week. About 12 o'clock the grand jury brought In a true bill against William O'Meara Allen, Michael lariat', William Gould, Thomas Maguire, and Edward Shore for murder. The prisoners were then brought into the dock, sad neurally pleaded not guilty. They were not handcuffed. The prisoners, on coming into their places, looked some what healthier, fresher, and in better spirits than when before the mag istrates for examination. Allen, who °ma ples the place in front, is, of course, the object of cariosity the crowded court, and all eyes are greatest r to omtrns to time directed towards him. In the first pl a ce, tWy leek at him bemuse he is supposed to have been captain and leader of the band who effected the rescue, and because hardly a witness has been examined who does not identify him as one of the most active and daring of the party. No doubt the eyes of the people wander back to him again as much from dissatisfaction and disappointment as from curiosity. Those who expect to see a hero such as fancy would be likely to paint will be very much disappointed. Under 20 years of age, and looking very boyish for his age, he is a slight-made youth, standing about 5 feet 10 inches high, with blue eyes, pal* complexion, and dark brown hair. Hie face is as smooth as a woman's, for he has no whiskers or beard. The face is round, but the features are rather small, with nose short and inclined to the snub. The eyes are small and rather sunken, with the mark of a small cut over the left one. They also appear to be weak. The cheek bones are rather prominent. He is a native of Ireland, and is by trade a joiner. It will easily be understood that in • face with such charac teristics there is not much to give an idea of resolution, boldness, or daring, and men of stronger build and more vigorous physique have been heard to express their stir prise and disgust very openly that such an insignificant looking lad should not only have led but have succeeded in such an enterprise to the extent he did. Perhaps they overlook the terrors which • couple of revolvers is calcu lated to exercise upon those who are totally unarmed. Gould has • much better face and physique. He is 30 yearsof age, stands about 5 feet 91a inches high, is fresh-com plexioned with blue eyes and light brown hair. He is rather stout in build, and the face israther full and round, with no beard and only slight whiskers. He has the mark of a cut over the right eye, and is slightly pock-marked. Though a native of Ireland, be is probably of Saxon descent. He has been employed us • clerk. Larkin, who is another of those who are spoken to as having been very prominent in the attack, is a rather little man, standing about 5 feet 6 inches. He has blue eyes, but is of a very sallow complexion, and has no beard except a small tuft under the chin. Hair, dark brown. He is of slender figure, and about 32 years of age. He is a native of Ire land, and is by trade a tailor. Our reporter had not a good view of Shore and Maguire. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., stated that he appeared, with Mr. Ernest Jones, for Allen, Gould, and Shore. *Mr Serjeant O'Brien said he, with Mr. Cottingham, appeared for Michael Larkin and Thos. Maguire. Mr. Digby Seymour said, in renewing his application for an adjournment, there was a fact be wished to state which would be an important element in the applicatioo. The crown had supplied the conductors of the defence with the substance of the evidence of 25 new witnesses, and the evi dence applied, in different degrees, to all the prisoners now at the b.r against whom a true bill had been found. He hoped that their counsel might have an opportunity of mutual consultation and consideration between this and next day. They had had no opportunity of seeing the fresh evidence,and his information even with regard to the other was very slight. It would be also convenient if they had an opportunity of looking at the panel of 'the jury. He spoke the sentiments of his learned friends as well as his own when he said they were anxious to do nothing to hinder the administration of public justice. Therefore they wished, before deciding whether they should chal lenge the jury jointly or severally, to have an oppor tunity of looking at the panel, to consider whether there . were any objections that they might fairly take or not. It was • matter of some importance that they should not be pressed for an immediate decision. He understood further, and he hoped he might be permitted to say, that the At. torney-Genentl was not disposed to resist the a pp lication. Mr. Justice Blackburn—When we have heard you we will hear what the Attorney-General has to say for the interests of justice. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien said be had nothing to add to what bad been said by his learned friend, except that he en tirely Gummed. The Attorney-General said he had communicated with his learned friends, and he had heard from them that they bad been so recently instructed that they felt they should not do justice to the prisoners for whom they appeared if they had not more time to consider. Of course, the sole object the crown could have was that a fair and impartial trial should take place in • case of this description, and therefore he would nut for one moment oppose the applica tion if their lordships thought it should be granted. If they had not had time to study the depositions, it would be unsatisfactory, after a declaration of that sort bad been made by the learned counsel, that the case should be pressed tor hearing. With reference to the copy of the panel it was a matter for the discretion of the court, and not at all in the juriadietion of the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Justice Blackburn thought it was reasonable they should know who the jurors were. He did not know whether it was altogether practicable to give the informa tion, as the panel was rather limited in numbers, and • direction had been given to summon an additional number of jurors, and their names could not be told until they were summoned. The Al said he should beglad to find that no technical otijections were raised, or say delay took place when they met next morning for the purpose of continuing these trials. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he thought it would be a convenient MUM that in this indictment the judges did sit together, and after that, in the subsequent indictments that they should sit separately in the two separate courts, so that they would hare had the different points of law decided whilst sitting together, and at ter that the caeca would be oomparatively simple, and they would sit sera rately. The counsel for the prisoners and the crown could ' perhaps easily arrange the matter. The only point mate rial for the counsel for the crown was whet he r, having two eases going on simultaneously, the woe winners would be required in both at the same time. The Attorney-General said it was parble that that might be so, but as far as possible he would endeavour to arrange the witnesses in such a way that they should not be required in the two courts simultaneously. Mr. Seymour said he would raise no difficulty whatever on the tnal, but would desire to give every facility whir the court thought proper. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that would be the right course to take, for, while he should not expect the learned counsel to do anything to sacrifice the interests of their clients, he was sure they would not do anything not re quired in their interests to °pease that trial. Mr. Seymour rid, in asking for permission to have a copy of the panel, he should like to add sores to the jury book. _ _ Mr. Justice Blackburn did not see what the learned counsel wanted with the jury -book. He did not know what object it would serve. Mr. Seymour said he should like to hive the oppon tnnity of seeing whether there was say objection to the array. They must not abut their ears to the communior tione made in this case, but they would give the matter a careful consideration, and his lordship might rely upon it they would rams no objection except upon a conscientious ground. At present they wished to have an opportunity of comparing the pang as selected with the jury-book. Mr. Serjeant O'Brien said that the panel, as at present returned, would not enable them to ascertain whether the jurors who were returned lived at Manchester or net. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that the panel would give the addresses of the persons summoned. He did not see what object it would serve to have the jurors' book. Mr. Seymour said that there might be matters of selec tion they would have to consider, which he asked the court to give him the opportunity of examining with his learned friends. . . _ . Mr. Justice Blackburn said be never heard of each an application, and be doubted whether he bad any power to grant it. He was not sure that he knew what was meant by the jury-book. Mr. Seymour said that the jurors' book was kept in the custody of the sheriff. It showed the persons competent to be returned as jurors according to the various lists sent in. The panel was then selected by the sheriff from the book. Of course it was to be presumed the panel had been selected carefully and impartially, but he thought the oximel 'lmola have the opportunity of comidwthg whether it was open to any objection. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he was under the impression that the list of jurors and the persons qualified as jurors wee a public, list, made oat by the overseers, and printed, and to be found in the town by every person who wished to obtain the information. Therefore he thought that to order the book to be delivered up was out of their power, and not in the slightest degree required. Mr. Seymour said that if copies could be had from any other source be had nothing more to say. Mr. Justice Blackburn did not say it was so, but his impression was that the jury list was made out by the overseers, printed, endexhibited on the church doors. The Attorney-General said it was so. Mr. Seymour said that all he expected was that every reasonable facility should be given them to determine if they ought to exercise the right of challenge. Mr. Justice Blackburn said there could be no doubt the' Attorney-Oeneral would do that, and the mart valid give them every facility of knowing who were the persons on the panel, and of course they would have Information of the additional persons ordered to be summoned in case they should be wanted. Mr. Seymour said he did not ask mere than that. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that practically he under stood the lists were printed by the overseers. The jury book was in the possession of the under-sheriff, and could be inspected without any difficulty, but in consequence of bevies to summon other jurors it would be in use during the day. It would be inconvenient to do this during the time this selection was going on. Mr. Seymour said they only wanted a convenient time to look at it before the eoart sat. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he understood the book would be in use till? or 8 o'clock. After that time there would be no difficulty in seeing it. He believed it would be brought into court in the morning, but he could not , conceive that the book would furnish any information they could not have without it. They would have a eosoppyy of the present panel as MOD as the others were s emmmed. Mr. Seymour said that was all he could expect. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that moths Attorney-General did not offer any objection to the application for postponing the trial till next morning, the court would not object. The jury.book, he understood, was at Preston, and would be at this court in the morning. After some conversation as to whether the court should sit at nine o'clock or ten o'clock the counsel for the , defence suggesting the latter hour for the first morning, it was ultimately arranged to adhere to the former, Mr. • Justice Blackburn being anxious that the court should have as much time before it as possible. The court was , accordingly adjourned to nine a.m. to-morrow. The grand jury would, in the meantime, proceed with their examination into the other cases. Ma. DISRAELI'S t IBIT Tv SCOTLAND.—The Chan cellor of the Exchequer left London at ten o'clock on Saturday morning by the London and North-Western Railway, and reachedthe Gorebridge Station of the North British Railway. travelling by the Waverley route from Carlisle, at half-past nine in the evening. The right hon. gentleman, who was accompanied by Mrs. Disraeli, and his private secretary, Mr. Corry, occupied a saloon carriage, which was detached from the express train at Gore bridge, where that train does not usually stop ; and he was received by Mr. Dundee, of Arniston, whose guest he will be during his Edinburgh visit. At Galasbieli station, where the train generally waits for a few minutes, Mr. Disraeli's arrival was eagerly waited for by a score or two of porsons,among whom the news of his coming by the evening express bad spread ; and when the train ar rived attempts were made by stew of those present to get • glimpse of the distinguished traveller through the win dow of the , which was at first domed. On noticing this Mr. Disraeli Disraelllowered the window, and leaning forward out of the carriage inquired of the bystanders if he was then at Galashiels,to which, amid general cheering an affirmative answer was of course returned. After contemplating the crowd for a few seconds, Mr. Disraeli Galled out, in • somewhat loud voice, " Do you wish to be annexed to the Haddington burghs ; or would you like to remain in the mum main " The county," wee the some ; what ungracious though general shout in reply, and amid oonsiderable cheering Mr. Disraeli withdrew, apparently in no way discomfited. Our Carlisle correspondent writes that at the station, where the right hon. gentleman was de tained about • quarter of an hour, he was heartily cheered. —Scotsman. THE CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT AT BRISTOL. The new co-operative movement was extensively adopted in the city of Bristol on Saturday. Early in the morning crowds of mechanics from various large establishments attended Union-street market for the purpose of purchas ing caresses of sheep. This they succeeded in doing—in most cases at sjd., and in some sjd. per lb. The amazes were out up, and joints weighed, and when conve edto the different workshops the primest joints were retailed to the workpeople at sjd. and 6d.,and inferior at 5d., and in some instances at 40. per lb. Many of the largest establish ments in the city have adopted the new co-operative principle, and we have heard of one that has purchased 40 live sheep from • farmer under an agreement that the sheep shall be delivered for slaughter as required. The police at the different stations enlarged their purchases. The men at the central station bought five, but these were not sufficient for the demand. They have also extended their operations to butter and cheese, and in order to facilitate the " weighing out" according to the necessities of their customers they have bought new weights and scales, knives, he. There was another re duction in the price of " butcher's" meat on Saturday.— Western Daily Press. EXTENSIVE PLATE ROBBERY IN DEVONSHIRE.— An extensive robbery of plate took place at the residence , 1 of the High Sheriff of the county of Devon, Mr. John Quiche, Newton St. Cyres, on Sunday morning. For the last fortnight Mr. Quiche has been entertaining a party of ' friends, and the family plate being in every day use was at night locked up in the pantry. The plate was worth at least 1,0001., and all of it was deposited safely in the pantry on aturday evening, on the retiring of the family to bed. The robbery was discovered about half-past six on Sunday morning. One of the servants on coming down stairs found the drawing room in greet confusion, the shutters open, and a pane of glass in the window broken. She at once called up the butler, who hastened to the pantry, and found that one of the panels of the door bad been cut clean out, the staple of the lock unscrewed, and that plate of the value of about 3001. had been stolen. The bulk of the plate was too much for the thieves, of whom it is evident there were two or more. They must have carried their booty on to the lawn on trays, as two trays were found there next morning. It seems that during the night Mr. Quicke heard a door slam, sad a lady in the house heard a slight noise, but neither thought it necessary to raise an alarm. The police were quickly com municated with, and Captain Hamilton and the Crediton I and Exeter officers have been making diligent inquiries, but as yet have not discovered the least clue to the thieves. This is the fourth robbery of a similar nature which has taken place in the county during the last six months or so. The county gentry are naturally somewhat alarmed con cerning their plate. THE CHANCERY VACATlON.—Yesterday Issas the last of the Chancery vacation, and to-day the offices will resume business. The arrears are inconsiderable in the courts, with the exception of appeals before the Lords Justices. THE IRISH CHURCH. THE BISHOP OF DOWN'S REPLY TO HIS CLERGY, Adam, Holywood, Oct. 26,1867. Rev. and Dear Brethren, —Whilst I thank you for the courteous exprewdons towards myself in the address you have presented to me, I must observe that it emanates from a misconception on your part of my position as a spiritual peer, sad is bead.. grounded on erroneous im pressions. In my capacity as one of the Irish prelates occupying a seat in the House of Lords, I did not represent your views more than those of any other portion of the church ; but as an independent member of the hones I was entitled to state my personal opinions on any question brought before it, and especially on matter affecting the interest of the Irish church ; nor were you remonmble for them, and, I conceive, not called upon to " protest against being sup posed to participate or acquit..." in them. Now, with regard to your statements : I never proposed " that the revenues of the Irish church should be in part ommacated." I recommended (as all true friends of the church would) that they should be more equitably di vided, and the many anomalies which now exist redremed. And, so far from omitting " all notice of important facts" connected with my own dioceses, les • y quoted it as I a proof of the necessity that exists for a juster redistri bution of the church temporalities to meet the wants of our growing church population. Nor was I (as you state) forgetful of " the faithful services of the clergy ;" for I distinctly statei that " I spoke on behalf of the working clergy," and urged that in any settlement of the Irish church, besides alloting aula a t t e income, with a glebe house and Lad, to every • clergyman, provision should also be made them in ease of Mei ner or infirmity, and for their widows at their . decease ; and if, after satisfying these first charges on the I revenues of the church, there should be found any our ! plus, then I stated I would not object to see it allocated to great kindred objects—either the education of the children of the church, or the maintenance of her poor. In reference to the vote of thanks conveyed to my _aoble friend, Lord Du ff erin, for his " valuable, thoughtful, and admirable address" at the Social Science Cowmen, I should have thought it unnecessary to remind you he spoke only his own opinions ; and whilst I conveyed to I his lordship the thanks of the distinguished audience who beard his address with the deepest attention, I guarded myself against being committed to all his views by conveying the enthusiastic thanks of the assembly, with this personal reservatioa, " making all allowances for some diversity of opinion." It was in this light ell unpreju diced penman understood my observations. The Guardian newspaper of September 25, in commenting on the pro °ceding', writes—" The thanks of the meeting were offered to hini(ord Dufferin) by the Bishop of Down, who, how , ever, carefully guarded himself against being *apposed to concur in all Lord Dufferin's sentiments." Having pointed ' out in all candour the fallacy of your premises and the in ' accuracy of your statements, let me assure youl yield to no one in my allegiance so the church and my desire to uphold her institutions sad increase her efficiency. If I adopt the views of the Archbishop of Dublin, as to the I . importance of " redressing cases of extreme disproportion between the work and its temporal reward," or st remedy for the correction of anomalies which Lord • warned us " weought not to cloak nor deny," I mime no va lid grounds for your being "constrained to address me ; " andl assure you the " sorrow and reluctance" which you I state you feel in doing so are shared by me in replying ; tas I cannot but think such unnecessary public exhibitions are ill-calculated to advance the interests of our church, especially as the " painful and trying circumstances" under " preemie" of which you sated might have been avoided by • personal communication, which I would have met in the spirit of that " courtesy and kindliness" which you have pleased to say I have ever maintained in my inter course with my clergy, and which no difference of opinion will ever Induce me to forego.—l am, reverend and dear ! brethren, your faithful friend and bishop, RORER? DOWN AND CONNOR awn DRONORZ. To the Venerable the Archdeacon of Down, ani clergymen signing the address. Tice Nnw DIAN or Kixten.—The deanery of Exeter, which had become vacant by the resignation of Viscount Midleton, has been conferred upon Canon Boyd, incumbent of St. James, Paddington. The Record, which highly praises the appointment, states that "Lord Derby's intention to recommend Mr. Boyd for the vacant deanery was privately communicated a few days ago, but it was only on Saturday that her Majesty's approval of this selec tion was made known. The living of St. James, Padding ton, will not necessarily become vacant for mix months, but it is in the gift of the Bishop of London. In 1859 Canon Boyd was removed from Cheltenham, where be bad offi slated for nearly 17 years ; and in 1863 he declined the arehdeitoonry of Durham with a canonry offered by Bishop Baring, as a mark of his lordship's sense of the zeal and energy with which Mr. Boyd had ably discharged his duties in the diocese of Gloucester." Tim llimataa WHALING VESSEL—A telegram from Dundee yesterday =soulless that the Tay whaliuj rowel had pawed Peterhead on her way to Dundee, all well. She would be at Dundee bet evening.

When 'an inquest wee held upon the epileptic who was coni- I miler i l t, t t o he a . ss ro ist ne i r e a r e stt r nt he a cesspool, who er fell a surgeon at Guildford. This gentleman now comes forward to confirm that shocking story, and at the same time he vouches not only for the truth, but for the moderation, of I the report published in the Lancet. The mere existence of the cesspool into which the epileptic fell is itself die ; graceful. It is said to be an uncovered receptacle for all I she sewage of the workhouse, and it is at no great distance from the sick ward windows. It fills about once in six months, and for six months, therefore, it would seem, the !sewage is allowed to give off its poisonous odours within • stone's throw of the infirivary, THIS OUTRAGE IN BU RTO N-CRESCENT. —John Skates, who said he was a hammerer to a blacksmith, .but at present out of work, and lived at 7, Brunswick ( street, was brought up at Bow-street Police.court pester co on suspicion of being concerned in shooting the police '. w:table Saunders in Burton-cresoent, on Sunday week. It appeared from the evidence of • man named Bennett, who lives in the Mews where the outrage took piece and is a labourer to the Imperial Gas Works, that on Sunday 1110111- log week, between half-past two and three o'clock, the re flection of • policeman's lantern passed his window several times. He heard a report of a pistol or some fire-aim, and went to the window, and saw a policeman leaning up against a railing in the Mews, in a slanting position, as If ! he was falling. He went downto the a mistime of the police man, and the prisoner soon afterwards came to the spot, from out of a van in the Mews, but there was nothineappi. rently further to incriminate him, and he was admitted to bail in twa sureties of 401. each, and the prisoner's own recognixances of $Ol. for his appearance on Friday. FISHING AT HASTINGS. —The Hastings fisher- I men have not been " resting upon their oars " during the 'whole of the pest week, although it is thought that their recent success is sufficient to admit of their doing so for some little time to come. After several days of calmness ' and silence the cry of " Mackerel oh!" was heard in our midst on Friday morning last, and upon inquiry it was found that "Ci uty" Mann's boat, the Jane, had brought ashore seven thousand fish, that the Bee, of which Richardson is master, had been busy in netting five thou sand, sod that the whole of the boats which had launched out on the previous night had obtained a draught of flab more or less extensive. The prices obtained varied from 16s. 6d. to 18s. per hundred. Herrings, too, were rather plentiful, Gideon Haste hating landed a last (10,000) and obtained 15!. for his labour, and several other boats having smaller catches. The renewed success was not of long &notion, for on Sa turday morning very little was stirring in the market. Without attempting to lecture that hardworking and honest portion of our population, the fishermen, it may not he out of place to express a hope that their late suc cessful labour will be followed by a display of those pro vidential habits which are so conducive to the well-being of all classes, and without which a slice of good fortune not %infrequently brings about it 114iTiUtt , loss. The tuber men of this town have of late shared a surprising amount of suooess. It is not enough to know that their bard earnings are being spent in the town, nod that the trade is being benefited. It must add much to the satisfaction of everyone to know that the fishermen and their families are reaping the proper fruits of their labour, and are likely to maintain that independent position of which anyone who possesses • spark of self-respect must be proud.— Sussex Advertiser. SHOO K IN° ACC I DINT. —Yeatonlay a shocking acci dent occurred on the extension of the Metropolitan Railway now in course of formation between St. John's-wood and Gower-street. Some men were down a cutting when • landslip occurred, burying several unfortunate fellow. I One, a labourer, was taken out and carried to Marylehone Workhouse, where medical assistance was, as usual at this house, promptly obtained, but life was found to be ex ' tines. Another was found to hare a fractured thigh, and he was taken to St. Mary's Hospital. The deceased man leaves a wife and two children.
