Sir JoKe PAKINGTON may get his bills for the present year ; they will be in every sense of the word harmless. But a new Parliament will have to introduce a new system. It will have to strike at the root of ancient prejudices and privileges, to recognise no privilege but that of serving the country, and no reward save that which true merit has won. When this is done the question of Army recruiting and of an Army reserve will be solved. (From the Daily News.)

Si JOHN PAILINOTON and Lord ELCHO, on Thursday night, had an opportunity of pressing the two extremes of the professional doctrine res pecting the army. Lord ELceo, it is true, is modest enough to profess that he is no soldier, but only a volunteer, but he never loses an oppor tunity of importing into military discussions the experiences drawn from the tented field of Wim bledon and the severe campaigns of the London Scottish. Sir JOHN PAILNOTON is also better known as yet in the capacity of a naval than of military administrator, but he has shown an apti tude for expounding the traditions of the Horse guards such as would be creditable in a veteran commissary. These opcoeing authorities brought before Parliament their respective schemes for placing our defence on a level with the forces of Prussia or France. Lord ELCHO declares that nothing less will serve than the conscription. His volunteer experience in drill satisfies him that men can be made into soldiers in far shorter time than the Horse-guards demands, but his amateur acquaintance with war convinces him that, unless we pass in succession all the males capable • lskips pa eager* and goods fur Hassan and Havana, to bs totosicried at Nor York (subject to the permission of the t.,rmr•tate. authorities . 00 board the B.

Sold by all Bonimellers, Newsagents, and at all lawny Station& _ Dr. Dliathome, Roman catholic bishop, was examined, and having in reply to the chairman explained the differ enoe between the jurisdiction of vicars and =c —of whom he had been one--and bishops in , pro ceeded to say that the bishops exercised no temporal audio rlty whatever. The document appointing the vicars apos tolic did so expressly in respect of the cat olic flock only. and the same observation applied to the document cresting the hierarchy. He had had a great deal to do with the negotiations which resulted in the establishment of the hierarchy, and could elate that the utmost wee taken to avoid • °sadist with Inglah manila cad dace:After the Reclesiestical Titles Bill had passed, a Mon was steed by about 400,000 Roman catholic laity to the effect that the creation of the hierarchy was a purely spiritual act, and that it conferred no temporal authority. Before the document was signed by the Pope be (Dr. Ulla thorns) came to England and consulted the bishops, all of whom were Englishmen, as to its contents, so anxious were they all not to do anything that was adverse to English opi nion. There could be no hierarchy without local title. To give up their title and to cortinne Mama would be simply impossible. The local title limited jurisdiction. It was essentially a matter of conscience and a theological matter. We have never believed in the validity of the Anglican orders. We could not recognise them as an episcopacy, and those of the Anglican clergy who form our chorale are invariably re-ordained- We have nothing l i to do with the Anglican bishops, or they with 41. From their high position, and the respect they are held in by their flocks, we Melt them with every courtesy, but when it comes to the question are they duly qualid bishops, we cannot recognise them am such. Mr. Walpole—Then the establishment of the Roman catholic hierarchy in this country was • negation of the church of England . — lt was perhaps virtually. How do you reconcile that negation with the fact that the united church of England and Ireland is recognised in acts of parliament ?—Thos act. were probably pamed by members of the Anglican church. We recognise the existence of a church of England, which is believed to be a true church by its members, but we do not admit that it is so. The establishment of a hierarchy was the recon struction of the old vicariates. The hierarchy were merely to exercise spiritual jurisdiction over their own flocks. Wealth has been accumulated by the Roman catholic church, but that church will contrast favourably with the established church in that r Mr. Paull—ls it not also the ro t yof the Roman catholic church to obtain from persons who are sick or in extremia, bequests! Dr. Llhithorne—To the extent to which the church requires it, but certainly not to any improper extent. I have myself discouraged the disposition of persons to give I property to the church away from their children. li To the Chairman—We are satisfied with the spiritual power that we have ; but what we require is that we ' should be freed from the stigma which the act puts upon us. It has had a bad moral effect, and renders a catholic bishop little better in law than an outlaw. We cannot surrender our bishoprics even if we desired to do so. The Chairman—Would it remove the difficulty if the law were so amended as to make legal the title, " Roman Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham , for instance Dr. tlllathorne—The phrase would be incorrect. There is but one " Roman " bishop, and he is the Pope. There is but one "catholic" or universal bishop, end he is also the Pope. All other bishops are of limited spiritual juris diction, and that jurisdiction is defined by the local The Anglican be bop would sign himself—say, " James, London." A catholic bishop would sign himself, "James, Bishop of London." The phrase, " Amnon catholic faith is correct ; but that is a different thing to that which is implied by " Roman catholic" prefixed to the title of • bishop. Had no objection that parliament should make it legal that catholic bishops should be described in deeds, wills, and other documents, as "Roman catholic bishop" of such • place ; but they would not so describe them selves. _ _ of bearing arms through the ballot for the Militia, our safety and our prestige are gone. Sir JOHN PAKINOTON, on the other hand, main tains that what we require is a reserve of old soldiers, and he thinks that 20,000 of these, com posed of men who, on returning from foreign ser vice, are willing to exchange the remaining term of their enlistment, if not more than four years, for a double period of service in the reserve, to gether with 30,000 more, composed of militiamen enlisted for this special service, and of pensioners, would give us the force which would place Eng land in security, and enable her to assert her dig nity in the possible contingencies of continental politics. The one is all for numbers ; the other is all for prolonged drill. And these, as we have said, represent the two extremes between which the military and official mind oscillates. We may drop out of view Lord ELCHO'S demand, because at present there is small chance of its being treated by any one as practical. We are at peace, and our declared intention is to remain at peace, and it will be hard to persuade us that we cught to put in force those extraordinary forms of arma ment which have hitherto been resorted to only in the last extremity of mortal war. But in discuss ing the more moderate counter propositions of the Government, there is a difficulty which is entirely of their own creating. They have brought in two bills for the carrying out of their designs, but in criticising these Lord ELMO was stopped by the intimation that part of them was to be abandoned. Yet Sir JOHN PAILINGTON, in his own statement, failed to tell the House what the dropped provi sion is. We learn, indeed, that he has in ore paint departed from the scheme of his predecessor at the War Office. But this is on the minor question of whether the regular soldiers who accept a double service in the reserve in lieu of their final four years with their regiments shall be attached to the Militia, as General PEEL proposed, or to the pensioners, as his successor has deter mined. In this obscurity, we must take the Government plan as in the main that which it ap petted to be at first. Its leading feature is that, if entirely successful, it would give us a reserve of 50,000 men, at an annual cost of 230,000!. The rate is moderate enough, but the question is whether the men are to be had at the price. It should not be forgotten that the method of forming a reserve out of old soldiers has already been tried in this country with absolute failure. Lord HERBERT in 1869 established such • reserve, into which men who had served their full period were to be enticed to enter by high bounties, and by the security that in no case should they be sent out of the country. But the enticement failed. The men would not accept these conditions. Sir JOHN Pmetworow now proposes to offer them the boon of commuting the last years of their regular ser vice for s double period in the reserve. But, on the other hand, be seems to propose a smaller bounty, and to impose the obligation of being sent out of the country if war breaks out. It may be doubted whether these modifications will not over- Kr. Chatterion—Would you wish the bishop of the united church of England and Ireland to give up the word " catholic' "—I would not ask them to give up seythiag. To the Chairmen—Any attempt to make the catholic bishops all themselves " Roman catholic bishop" of such • place would be an attempt to limit them, and to deny their universality. Kr. Paull—You use the word universality. Do you claim spiritual jurisdiction over all the people in your diocese? Dr. flllathorne said his jurisdiction only extended over extholics, but, as he had before explained, those who were baptized and died in a state of grace, although not in out ward communion with the church, would be saved. The committee meet on Tuesday next to consider their report. Yesterday the return of civil list pensions granted during the 12 months ending the 20th of June last shows the total amount to be 1.2001.

THE REFORK LEAGUE AND THE ROYAL PARKS BlLL.—Last night an adjourned meeting of the council of the Reform Lieges was held in the offices, Adelphi-ter race, for the purpose of taking steps in reference to the Royal Parks Bill; Mr. Reales, the president, occupied the chair. The Chairman mid the bill in Its amended shape was worse than in its original shape, and his opinion was that it deserved to be kicked out of the House of Commons as a moat determined and gross insult to the people, and as conferring powers of a vague and general character. Mr. Langley read the following :—" The executive have had under their anxious consideration the proposed meet ing in Hyde-park to protest against the Royal Parks Bill, and are of opinion that the discussion of the question should be deferred to give to the executive time to carry oat other plans to cause the withdrawal of the bill, and failing success in carrying out such plans they will organise a meeting in the Hyde-park on Monday week, or earlier if necessary. At the same time the executive hope that the Meads of reform outside the league who have intimated their intention to hold • demonstration on Sunday will suspend for the present their action in that matter until other modes of eliciting public feeling have been ex hausted." A resolution approving of the recommendation of the executive was then put and agreed to. The Chair man said they must act on the declaration of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer on the previous night, which they took as a sort of gauntlet thrown down to them, and de pend upon it it would be taken up. After the disposal of some unimportant business the proceedings terminated. A STRANGE CRAFT.—SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. Last evening • strange craft was seen coming up South ampton water with the Yankee flag flying. It came to an anchor at the mouth of the Itoben river. On the custom house officers getting near, they found it to be a raft, 23 feet long, 12i feet wide, and three feet out of the water, on which three seamen bad crossed the Atlantic ocean in 43 days. On examining this raft, it was found to be most ingeniously constructed. Three indiarubber tubes, covered with canvas, and shaped like monster cigars, were laid and fastened side by side. These tubes were filled with air by means of bellows. The tubes were covered with planks, which formed • deck. On this deck a small water-tight tent was erected. Two per pe ndicular sliding boards formed • keel, the deck Oinks were neatly fastened together with strong ropes. A sort of outrigger steerage apparatus at one end and a bowsprit at the other distinguished the stern from the bow, and two masts rigged formed the propelling apparatus. An oil lamp was the only means on board to procure artificial light and fuel. The daring fellows who have ploughed the ocean in this remarkable craft state that they have experienced a fortnight's bad weather, but that the con veyance proved an excellent sea raft and that they have never got wet from salt water. To look at it it seems the most buoyant thing that wal ever launched. The owners of it are st to mom the Channel, and ascend the Seine to Paris. A raft boat made upon the same principle as the raft itself is attached. power the temptation which is offered of quitting regular service at an earlier date. But in our view the idea is founded on inaccurate notions respecting the soldier's real wishes. If he desires to leave the service, it is almost always because he sees some better opening. But the occupation he has in prospect may very probably be entirely in compatible with liability foreight years to occasional drill, and to possibly renewed foreign service. In such a case two alternatives will present themselves to his mind. The one will be to remain with his regiment, because he cannot honestly better himself by enlisting in the reserve. The other will be to enlist in the reserve, with the intention of getting out of his regiment, and of not fulfilling his obligation to give the com muted service. It is true that he will then be liable to be treated as a deserter, and this we pre come is the motive for classing such men with the pensioners rather than with the militia. But nothing is easier than to evade discovery as a deserter when once the regimertal trammels are severed. A change of residence, of name, of beard, and of complexion will enable the reserve man to abandon his intermittent service at his pleasure. The result then will be that we shall not get honest men to enlist in the reserve at all, ant that the dishonest will fail us when we want them. All these petty schemes, these shufflings of extra twopences and special bounties, these com plex cuttings off of a year here to add it on there, these bribes to militiamen and temptations to regular service men, are the feeblest possible methods of dealing with the problem. But from a Tory Government we can hope for nothing better than feebleness in dealing with any Army ques tion. The interests of the ruling class are bound up in the maintenance of the status quo. It is they who have established a system under which every battalion has one-third more officers than those of Prussia or France, or even Italy. It is they who have m►de promotion depend on money. It is they who divide among themselves all the good things of the service, and who make the rise of merit alone so rare that it is a matter to be won dered and pointed at. It is they who insist on sub jecting the veteran to the sameroutine of elementary drill as the recruit, who forbid to the soldier any practical appeal or escape from gross oppression, who permit language that galls and maddens the honourable, and that hardens and embitters the reprobate; who draw a line that seems to mark the private soldier as a being of a degraded race, and tends to make the non-commissioned officer at WILLOOX AND ltfftlti MEWING MACHTWI.-" sous Is droner and tow liable to rip In an or wear than the lock-stitch.

THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. The following is from the report of the directors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Li mited), to be presented at the general meeting on the 2nd August : On the 4th February last the directors presented to the proprietors an approximate statement of the net earnings to the 31st December, 1866. They now beg to submit a balance-sheet, together with • similar statement for the eleven months ending the 30th June last, showing& net profit for that period more than sufficient to meet the sums of 125,000/. and 25,0001., pa able to this company as a first charge upon the working of the two cables,and tbe Soma the New York,Newfoundland,andLondonTelnrapliCogpany. The accounts will be prepared and adjusted betwefh this company and the Atlantic Telegraph Company for the year ending the 27th July. The directors were in hopes that a recommendation of a joint committee of both boards, made in January last, would have been adopted, whereby the charge would have been reduced to 51. for a message of ten words, with free address, and the charge for code discontinued, and that a large ac cession of traffic would have accrued therefrom. The Atlantic Telegraph Company, however, were nn willing to risk that portion of the revenue which was coming to them, and your directors were therefore coin ! polled with regret to acquiesce in a policy which they con- I eider detrimental to the permanent welfare of allinter ; ested in the Atlantic gables, and to the maintenance of the ioute via Ireland and Newfoundland. Early in May ithe cable of 1866 was seriously damaged by the grounding of an ioeberg, about 2i miles from the station at New foundland. Immediate steps were taken for the despatch of • vessel with skilled staff and necessary material. The weed left the Thames on the 4th of June, and on the 18th of the same mouth the complete repair was effected; and having lauded surplus stores and twenty miles of main line cable at Heart's Content (to be available at that point in case of need), the vessel returned to the Thames on the sth of July, homing been absent only thirty-two days. The entire cost, including about twenty-one pur chased miles of new cable stored at Newfound. land, will amount to between 11,0001. and 12,0001. This chine will not interfere with the sums of 125,0001. and 26,00 V. payable to this company. Both cables were in perfect order up to the afternoon of the 20th inst., when the cable of 1866 was suddenly Injured, at a dis tance, as shown by the tests from both sides, of about 60 miles from Heart's Content. At this point, which is near the entrance of Trinity Bay, the depth of water is only about 110 fathoms. Immediate steps will be taken to effect the necessary repairs. The land lines upon the ' American side have for some tins past been working with much regularity ; and it is expected that the submarine I cable from Placentia to Sydney will be laid in the course of a month or six weeks. The lines between Valentia and London will be worked by the staff of this company from and after the Ist August. At the last general meeting ape Mal attention was drawn to the 28th article of the articles 1 of association, which directs that " • sum equal to 10 per cent, at the least of the annual net profits of the company shall, until a general meeting otherwise determine, be set apart as a reserved fund.^ This article has been acted upon on the present occasion, but the directors have to state that in their judgment it is not necessary under ex isting circumstances to accumulate • larger sum than now , at the credit of the fund, which they consider ample to ' meet all contingencies ; they therefore recommend the meeting to pass a resolution accordingly. The directors recommend that a dividend of 25e. per share be now de clared, payable on the 6th proximo, which, with the 20s. already paid, both free of income ta x, will make nearly 23 per cent. for the year. They further recommend that the sums of 2091. 2s. M. and 10,680!. 4s. 6d., as shown in Nos. 15 and 6 of the accompanying 'amounts, be carried forward Ito the credit of next year's revenue. Boßouoit or HACKNEY. —At a meeting of parishioners of Hackney, at the old Town-hall, on Thurs day evening, it was unanimously resolved to invite Mr. Samuel Morley to become a candidate for the representa tion of the new borough. Mr. Morley is a native of Hackney ; his family have long resided in it and it is believed, so great lithe respect entertained for his character b 7 many who do not sympathise with all his political views, that he might be returned almost without the trouble of issuing an address, or the personal canvass of a single voter. ROYAL COLLEGE Or SURGEONS Or ENGLAND.— The fallowing gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma were admitted members of the college, at a meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 25th inst., vim : Messrs.

It is stated that only nine out of the seventy-four candidates who presented themselves for examination during the past three days failed to acquit themselves to the satisfaction of the court ? and were con sequently referred to their hospital studios for the full period of six months. The examinations for the present session at the College of Surgeons are now closed, with the exception of one meeting on the lit prox. for the Hoenee in midwifery. ANOTHER INTELLIGENT BUCEINGRAIRSHIREJVRY. —At the Bucks Maisel this week, held in this town, in the case of a young man tried for manslaughter, the Jury, after emuidenng their verdict for more than a quarter of an hour, by their foreman announced that they found the primm .er ' not guilty." The Lord Chief Justice inquired on what ground. they bad arrived at that conclusion ?" on which one of the jurymen rose and said, " I have not agreed to it, my lord, I consider the prisoner . guilty," causing considerable clamour amongst the other jurymen. His lordship then refused to accept their verdict, upon which they were locked up. They returned to the court in a short time, when the same foreman gave the verdict of the twelve, " guilty" with a recommendation to mercy. • —Bucks Herald. HOLBORN. A few weeks ago we had to notice th - .. efforts of a small band of aristocratic dramatic amateurs, who, with various &trees of ability, ranging bet one mild Jaunty and respectable mediocrity, performed Mr. Byron's bur lesque of Ivanhoe at the Strand Theatre, for the benefit of Mrs. Swanborough. This company of " distinguished amateurs," as they call themselves, competing manna of both holism of the legislature, and iscressed by the areetion et at least two baronets, have now taken the Holborn 'Theatre for one week to represent comedy, burlesque, sad have for the benefit of the " Uni versal Beneficent Society." Amateur adds who venture epee a step of this kind, wholly un precedented in the history of am►teur folly, who adver tise themselves as " • great attraction for six nights only," who push the professional male actor, for a time, from his stool, and who invite newspaper critics—the lest men in the world to belong to the Universal Benevolent Association—to see their capering, must bear to be treated as professional %etas retreated. Clarity is held to coves • multitude of sin, but, knowing something of the work ing of theaters—the expanses before and behind the scenes, and the small margin of profit genes rally left on even the most apparently snoossofd amateur performance —we venture to doubt whether the Universal Beneficent Soddy IrM be mach richer for this sheet semen al arimeeratie niuninery. Charity, in this ease, will most probably take more the shape of intention than of execution, and the only thing tangible will be a performance that no theatrical manager would put • money value upon. Grosslyimperfectin their words, singularlystiff and enemy in court costume, nervously weak or spasmo dically noisy, such • company would scarcely be endured by • mixed audience if they appeared in any other mimes but their own, and the play bill wail not mode to look like • pegs of the Court Guide. The pit and gallery seem to be struck by the condescension of the " distin guished " actors, and if there is any tittering at the obvious imperfections of the acting, it comes from the stalls and bone—in many cues from friends and sequin tans—rather than from the public. The names of the Marquis Townalsend, Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton, Sir R. Roberta, Bart., Sir John &bright, Bart., Moen. Malts lead, sod others, are sufficient to half fill • pit and gal lery with people who are not more idiotic and tolerant than the ordinary play-goer. These people have often been patronised by lords and marquises, and they seem to re juice in the opportunity of returning the compliment. Such pnformances can answer no good purpose, and they there fore deserve no encouragement. They can teach actors nothing—not even elocution and gentlemanly deportment ; they can render no aid that cannot be better rendered in a hundred other ways, in clothing the naked and feeding the hungry, and they must inevitably tend to diminish that respect which many persons think is due to the aria tacr►tic and governing chases. *parttng intelligence.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE,. (seursa's Taisaasms.) THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. BREST, JULY 26. The Empress Eugenie arrived here yesterday. Her Majesty left again in the evening, in the yacht Reine Hortense, for Cherbourg, but the yacht was compelled to put back into this port, on account of the bad weather. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JOLT 26, EVINING. The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette of this evening contains an article in which it sharply criticises and condemns the " unusual efforts of the journals of the day to discover alliances which they suppose have been or are about to be concluded." The ar ticle says—" The best alliance Prussia can have is her magnificent army in conjunction with the armies of the northern, and, let us hope, of the southern states, her well-organised finances, her in dependence of parliamentary majorities in foreign affairs, lioth as regards peace and war, and lastly, her readiness at all times to stand up for the inte rests of the German nation irrespective of territorial divisions. There is, then, no necessity for seeking with restless eagerness to establish alliances, for if they be natural alien** they will not be slow to arise of themselves..Moreovernot more or less hazardous experiments, but necessity, as we all know, is the best guide in contracting an alliance." The New Prasstan Gazette also says :—" We learn that the note of the Danish government to the Prussian despatch on the subject of North Schleswig con tains nothing that requires a specific answer. It is altogether of a dilatory character." Prince Hum bert, of Italy, has arrived here. His royal highness is travelling incognito. The statement published by some journals of a proposed visit of Count Bismarck to Biarritz is at present without founda tion. ITALY. FLORENCE. JULY 26. The Gaz_..e• tta dcl Popolo of to-day, announces the arrival of a despatch from Chevalier Nigra, giving explanations, in the name of the French govern ment, of the presence of General Dumont at Rome. The despatch says that the Marquis de Moustier has informed Signor Nigra that the general having acquainted the government that he was going to visit Rome upon private business, was charged to make himself acquainted with the real state of the Antibes Legion. Over estimating the extent of his mission, General Dumont had attached to it far too great significance, expressing his senti ments as if they were those of the French govern ment, which he had not been authorised to do. The Marquis de Moustier, however, was of opinion that there was much exaggeration in the reports spread by the Italian journals. THE EX-KING OF THE GREEKS. MUNICH, JULY 26.

NATIONAL ASTILLEItY ASSOCIATION. --Shoebnry nese camp was on Thursday evening visited by a terrible storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, and the occupants of many of the tents were almost washed out of them. The rain did not abate in its heaviness until past 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and it continued even beyond that hour, so as to prevent the volunteers from venturing abroad ; the consequence was that the parade was delayed an hour beyond the usual time. The competition yesterday was for Scotland's Challenge Cup. The cup will remain in the 'ssion of the winning detachment for one year, and hereafter to be returned into the hands of the council of the association, to be competed for on the same terms each suoceeding year. In the event of this cop presented by Scotland to the association being earned by • Scotch de. tanliment, it is conditional that in future it shall remain to be competed for in Scotland until again carried across the border by an English detachment. A tablet wish the names of the winning detachment will remain affixed to the cup. The competition does not depend upon the highest soon, but upon the champion corps. At the despatch of our parcel the winner was not declared. To day the Lords' and Commons' Prise will be competed for. It was intended last night to have bad a camp fire, but in consequence of the state of the weather it was abandoned. TONIC SOL-FA ASSOCIATION. —Last night a social gathering` of the Tonic Sol-ferists of the metropolis took place in the theatre of the Young Men's Christian Association, Alderegate-street, tocengratulate the members of the English choir upon their recent triumph at the international competition in the Paris Exhibition. The choir, consisting of some seventy young ladies and gentle men, was led by their conductor, Mr. Proudman, after having partaken of tea, to a position on the floor of the theatre, the audience, which was a numerous one, stand ing the while, and singing " See the Conquering Hero comes." At the termination of this reception, Mr. Yemen Ltishington, who was celled to the chair, gave • brief account of the labours which the choir had gone through to render themselves equal to the contest, and Mr. John Curwen , who had been mainly instrumenta l in getting the welcoming meeting up, read two letters, one from Mr. H. Smart, and the other from Mr. Jules Bene dict, expressing heir delight at the flattering result of the choir's visit to Paris. Mr. Swell, one of the managers, then gave • humorous description of the difficulties the choir had encountered in the gay city, and the surprise they excited, not only in the exhibition itself, but on their way thither, "in marching order." However, they were unable to compete for the principal prize of 2001., as choirs with female voices were not permitted to enter the lista, but the special rewards they obtained from the Emperor, and the applause they won from the Parisians, had amply compensated them. In the course of the evening the choir sang • variety of pieces, including " Shepherds' Fars sal," Benediet's " Hunting Song," and M. Laurent de Rills's • Retreat," and their exertions not only called forth rapturous applause, but also the admiration of Mr. G. A. Idaeferren, who, being present, took the opportunity of saying that there must be some worth in a system of teach ing which Gould produce so much finish and completeness. The great service the choir had rendered to the Tonic Sol- Fa School was acknowledged in a special vote of thanks ; and the ocieciert, which began with the French national air, closed with " God save the Queen," in which amuse the entire audience took pert.
