Tua Earl of CABILLIIVON has taken a step which marks a highly important change in the position of the Colonial churches in communionwith the Church of England. In consequence of recent decisions of the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council the Crown has for some time past ceased to issue patents for the appointment of Bishops in colo nes having independent legislatures. Lord CABSTARTOIt has consulted the law officers of the Crown upon another important point, and they have advised him that " a mandate from the Crown is not " necessary to enable Colonial Bishops to perform " the rite of consecration." This decision has been called forth by the repent election of Arch deacon Barauxn to be coadjutor Bishop of Toronto, by a synod of that diocese. The consecration of the new Bishop will now take place by the authority of the Metropolitan of Canada, given under his seal, and without any intervention of the civil power. We congratulate Lord Caluiran vox on having advanced the liberty of the Colonial Churches another stage. His letter will be found in another column. lAATES' 3 Vitt tatirt• vie.o.-- OSBORMM, Dec. 19.

THE CATASTROPHE N T i Y.HE METROPOLITAN ON LATFST PARTICULABS.—(THIS DAY.) This morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, a gentle man, residing in Pembroke-road, Kensington, called at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and identified the deosued lady who was killed in the railway carriage yesterday as his sister, Sarah Johnson, a widow, who resided with him. He stated that she was 66 years of age. He was aware that she had the 2001. in her possession, and that she kept it in a secret pocket of her stays for safety. She always carried her money in that manner when going out. The gentleman whose body was identified last night by the ticket-collector, was Mr. H. C. Lukey, of High-street. Bromley. He was well known and highly respected in Bromley, and his dreadful death has cast quite a gloom over the little oorrmunity of the town. The guard, Henry Squire , is in a very precarious condi tion ; amputation of his shattered limbs has not as yet been performed through fear of death ensuing under the operation. The inquests upon the bodies of Mrs. J ohnson and Mr. Lukey, and Mr. Pqllllolre, will not be held until to-morrow. Mr. Serjeant Payne, the city coroner, has recei formal ved ormal n otice of their deaths , an d a full inquiry into the c of the calamity will be instituted. The Board of Trade have also received notice of the ac cident, and a government ins p ector will prepare a report on the matter, which will, no doubt, be made public. It is stated that the engineers, Messrs. Fowler and the Johnson, had notified to those engaged in erecting iron girders for thu meat market over the railway not to raise any girder while a train was passing beneath, and that to a disregard of that injunc tion the calamity was due. But it is alleged that the girder which fell was not in course of erec- on tion at the time, but had actually been placed its supports, and was believed to be no longer dependent on its lifting gear. The cause of the fall as yet remains involved in doubt. some persons affirming that the vibra tion of the IMO of iron work resulting from the passing of the train toppled the girder over, and a , brought it down ; while others assert that some of the gear tackle gave way. It is impossib t exa le to arrive at the exact state of the facts upon this poin until the witnesses are mined judicially. - - The Archbishop of York . yesterday visited the village of Hoyle Mill and delivered an affectionate and sympathetic address to a great number of the widows, children, and other relatives of the dead. Some festive meetings, including the inauguration of a co-operative company at Barnsley, have been postponed in consequence of this lamentable catastrophe. Among the additional subscribers to the relief fund at Barnsley are Mr. Winn, of Holten Priory, 1001.; and Mr. It. Micklethwaite, of Ardaley, 1.501. Only a few days ago we (Post) recorded the death of Mr. George Lenox Conyngham, the chief clerk, and an old member of the staff, at the Foreign-office. His only son died two days previously to his father, in South America, after a short illness. The lamented gentleman entered the diplomatic service in 1858, and served in Florence and Vienna. In September, 1859, he was ap pointed private secretary to the Hon. George Elliot at Naples. He was afterwards sent to the Hague, and sub sequently went with the Hon. George Elliot to Greece on a special mission. After a short service at Berlin he was appointed to his late post in South America. On Monday evening the annual meeting of the Baptist Missionary Society was held in the Baptist Chapel, Oxford, under the presidency of Mr. Goldwin Smith, the late Professor of Modern History in the University of 1 Oxford. He wax accompanied on the platform by Pro fessor Rogers and Dr. Underhill , and several dissenting ministers.

A meeting of the house committee of the London Hospital was bald yesterday, for the purpose of presenting testimonials and gratuities —amounting to about 1,0001. — to nurses and servants, and to those medical and civil officers who more particularly distinguished themselves by their self-denying labours during the resent epidemic of cholera. The Empress and the Prince Imperial, on the morning of their leaving Compiegne, both paid visits un expectedly, her Majesty to the Infant-school and the young Prince to the College. The Empress arrived at half-past 10, accompanied by a lady of honour only, and after going through the establishment and making several inquiries, expressed her satisfaction at what she saw. About the same hour the Prince, accompanied by M. M eu nier, his tutor, and H. Radom, his equerry, arrived at the College, and after passing before the pupils drawn up to receive him, obtained for them a day and a half's holiday—the latter at once, and the former to be added to the vacation of the Jour de l'An. We read in the Antic° del Popolo of Palermo : —" Last week a public carriage leaving the city, in which was Signor (iiacinto Trentsoosse, a woman, and one of the guard of the Questura, was attacked at about a mile and a half from Misilmeri. Signor Treotacosse was killed and the guard dangerously wounded. The next day a diligence coming from Carini was stopped at a place called Valletta, between San Lorenzo and Tommaso Natale, and the travellers were robbed of 2.50 fr. The police are stated to be on the track of the robbers." A letter from Japan in an American paper says : —" All the foreign ministers stay at Yokohama, but I intend to take up my residence at Yeddo, eighteen miles distant. The people of Japan appear to be amiable and kind. Their dress is not of the most elaborate character, few of them wearing more than a calico gown, covering their shoulders and coming down to their knees. They seem to be good workers, and make very fine wares of all kinds. They are good carpenters and cabinet makers, indeed some of their wares are the finest in the world. The trees and shrubbery are magnificent, and of all kinds. They have the most beautiful wild lilies I ever saw. All the ground is worked, raising two or three crops per year on the same piece of land. They live on rice and fish, and work is very cheap. I pay my Japanese servants about ,sixteen itsiboos per month, three itzibooz making one dollar." Aooording to the Swiss journals the Emp ress Charlotte is going to leave Miramar soon, and be removed to the es'ablishment of Prebirgier (canton of Nencbitel), i t where she will be installed with part of her suite in a separate building. ROME. The National Committee of Rome leaned a pro clamation, t dated Dec. 14, "to the Roman" -Aiately on the departure of the French troops. .igratulating the Roman' that Italy is now Ala of her own destiny, and that no foreign flag floats from the Alpe to the sea, the committee beseech their fellow-citizens to indulge in no idle manifestations, but to await patiently and calmly for the hour which will satisfy all their wishes. It concludes as follows :—" Our triumph is certain ; the days of clerical despotism are inexorably num bered." (azurza's raticassis.) FRANCE. M. FOULD'S FINANCIAL REPORT. PARIS, D. 20. The financial report of M. Fould has been pub lished to-day. The minister shows that owing to an increase of 45,000,000 fr• in the revenue arising from indirect taxation the budget for 1866 will be definitively balanced. Relative to the rectified b u dget for 1867 the minister estimates the surplus revenue yielded by indirect taxes at ninety millions, and points out other resources. lie concludes, therefore, that this budget will also be in equilibrium. Notwithstanding the considerable expenditure necessitated by new armaments and the return to France of the troops f rom Mexico, it will n ot be necessary to imp new taxes or to appeal to public credit. The minister estimates that the ordinary budget of 1868 will show a surplus of 121,000,0 00 fr. No credit is demanded in the budget for 186the8, in respect of the new organisation of the army, Emperor having determined that the necessary expenditure should be provided for by special bills on the presentation of the rectified budget for 1868. M. Fould states that there is every reason to anticipate that the state will then be in posses sion of more than sufficient resources to meet these 4 uirements. The ministerial report t hen says :—" S o me ap prehensions are created by the new military or ganisation of the army, which will, however, be dispelled by the certainty that the proposed changes have only been caused by the necessity of placing the military forces of France on a footing equivalent to her position in Europe, and to the development of the military institutions of other States. The country wille d in this measure a fresh guarantee of peace an security for the future." —. BELGIUM. 1 BRUSSELS, DEc. 20. On the proposal of the Minister of War a royal decree has been published appointing a oommittee to inquire whether the p resent organisation of the army is adequate to the national defence. --- -- ---__ execution of the coup cretat is char actensuc of the 1 °Eh ARAL situation.

Ms. Jecoa WLLEY, in the able paper on Strikes, which he read before the Statistical So ciety on Tuesday evening, put forward a view which is not indeed absolutely novel, but deserves more attention than it has hitherto received from the public. After making some sound distinc tions between the different objects for which strikes are instituted, he observes that " the fre e quency of strikes argues some unsoundness in " the relations between masters and workmen, in " which the blame is not ace on one side." Mr. STANLEY JEVONS had pviously expressed a similar opinion. The masters, he thinks, encounter difficulties because they are always thought to be making secret but v ast profits, and " the sooner " publicity is substitut ed for secresy the better it " will be for all." This will be deemed very here tical doctrine by the so-called practical economists of the old school. " What on earth," they ex claim, " have the workmen to do with the masters' " profits I Let the m be thankful for the " existence of masters, and remember that the " only thing which can affect the rate of wages " is the relation between the demand for labour " and the supply." We do not presume to argue with these practical economists. We only say that they and their doctrine are in a very high degree accountable for the feeling among to the wor kmen which gives strength and tenacity strikes. If there is selfishness in the conduct of a class of artisans who, for the sake of a small rise in wages, stop the industry of a district and endanger its existence, heedless of the conse quences to others, it has been taught them bythese men and their heartless theories. Teach the wor k m an that his labour is not subject to the ordinary laws which govern the price of commo dities, and you delude him to his hurt ; teach him that his strength, intellect, and conscience are no more than commodities, and you make him a despairing egotist, and should not be surprised if he turns your doctrine against you whenever he has an opportunity. This s upply and demand doctrine has been learned only too well in the north, where the iron-workers have been diminishing the supply of labour with a ven geance. Now that the mischief is done we fird speakers and waiters turning round with a magis terial air to ask the men if they know what they are doing, and that the trade of the country leaving it for foreign parts. Why the w orkmen should be summoned to consider that fact more than the masters we are not told, since the l a tter class does not pro fess to carry on its o p er ations for the good of th e country, but for commercial profit. But then, it is said, these strikes inflict considerable injury on the workman himself, and be should therefore be warned against combinations. And is it really supposed that men who have been half, and more than half starved for six months, need to learn this truth of orators and public writers? Rather let the flippant dogmatist learn from the endurance of 1 1 sufferings which far surpass his conjectures, how strong and profound must be the feeling which causes them to be borne. He might then atta , nl to juster views of the nature of the remedy to be applied. Of all the vain occupations a man can take up, the idlest and moat barren is that of address ing pretended moral lectures to one of the parties to a class dispute, expecting thus to promote the interest of the other. These scolds need to be either more patient or more earnest ; the workmen could lecture in turn just as glibly as they are lectured to. The advantage of suggestions like those of Mr. WALEY and Mr. JEVONS is that they lift the whole question out of the close and heated atmosphere in which it has too long been imprisoned, and move it to a purer air and to the higher ground on which only it can be settled. No words can depict too strongly the mischiefs of strikes. They are a form of civil war. They destroy the sustenance of the families of a district as surely as the march of a hostile army, and, like military wars, they very rarely effect a change worth the loss and suffering which attend them. The English representatives who went to the working men's congress at Geneva a few months ago were told by their continental brethren that strikes were a mistaken form of as sociation, and that men should combine for in dustry, not for idleness. But the mischief which strikes do the country by driving trade away is as much a consideration for the masters as it is for the men, and if they want to see industry restored to a sound basis they must do something more effectual than harp on the misery these strikes involve. When we see a man who can earn 401. or 601. in a half-year foregoing the advantage of that sum on account of a difference of W. or 6/. between his terms and those of his employer, we see one who has given up all claim to sympathy, because by the very act of joining a strike he declares himself able to sustain all the inconvenience of a state of war ; but at the same time common sense should tell us that the dispute is one in which more than pounds, shillings, and pence are involved, since the work man, even when he succeeds, is a heavy loser. Rightly or wrongly, the men in several important departments of our national industry have got to believe that they are not fairly dealt with. Our practical economists declare that there can be neither fairness nor unfairness about the price of labour in a free market. They may be right ; but we see what their doctrines have brought us to—stagnation, disorganization, and mutual distrust. Who will pick up the scattered pieces of the machine, put them together, and set it to work f We fear that our moral lecturers will not perform this needful (THD3 DAY.) NEL LOWE, LP., AND THE JUDGES ON HEYDAY. Mr. Lowe's apology f or uttering & violent poli. tical harangue on a neutral eccaaion—that it was the first opportunity be had had for many months of speaking in public on the subject—seems to the Daily News to rest upon humility which is strained beyond the warrant of facts—the hon. gentleman forgetting the great meetings to which he has been expressly invited—the borough of Caine, which,of course, was open to him, and the oonierva tive social gatherings throughout the agricultural counties. The gravest offence against decency, however, at the ban quet on Tuesday was the strong political manifesto made by the two judges,ChiefJustioe Borill and Vice-Chancellor Malins, in speaking to an onentially non-political toast. Such eager partisanship of a political leader am here evinced is equally rare and unseemly in occupants of the judicial bench, whose very office excludes them from the House of Commons. Mr. Beales has latelybeen removed because his advocacy of reform was presumed inconsistent with impar tiality as a revising barrister. But the Court of Common Pleas is the Court of Appeal from all the revising barristers in the kingdom, and the expression of anti-reform opinions by its chief judge ought on the same reasoning to require his removal. At all events, the utterances of the tory Chief Justice CAR only be characterised as grossly unbe coming, and indicative of • coarsely unjudicial s pirit. The arguments of Mr. Lowe are curiously sophistical. He speaks as though the institution of the Howse of COIIIIIIIMS were objected to instead of its imperfections, and because men think the hundred elec tors of Caine should not have a six-hundredth part of the government of the British empire to themselves, he chooses to assert that the British constitution is in danger. Such intemperate confusion of thought can neither help Mr. Lowe's cause, nor retard that of hi s opponents. It only makes more prominent the fact that there is • need for reform, in order that the House of Commons may no longer consist in so large a degree as at present of persons who are elected by wealthy patrons, or who represent only one small class in the community, and to whose interested ISM words so empty of argument can be addressed with a certainty of plaudit. As to the danger to the peers on which he enlarges, Mr. Lowe, no doubt, has great oppor tunities for knowing in what way the House of Commons at present " works on in harmony with the House of Peers," and he ought to know that the peril can only come from themselves. The Standard warmly endorses the sentiments of Mr. Lowe, and congratulates the liberal party on having • member from whom, such theories can proceed. The star regards Ur. Lowe 168 a rival in the fancy sketch line of Mr . Leioester ; one caricaturing the working men, and the other the class to which Mr. Lowe belongs. The s peeches of the two judges ar e described by the Star am downright partisan harangues, and it adds that this is the first time probably since a period to which all Englishmen look beck with shame that English judges have been guilty of such an indecent display. Did these gentle.nen reflect for • moment upon the meaning of the principle which excludes a judge from the liouse of Commons! Chief Justice Bovill and Vice-Chancellor Matins might just as well be allowed to remain in the house and declaim against reform there, if they are to be at liberty to join in an agitation against it at public meetings and public dinners. How is the country to feel any confidence in the judicial impartiality of men whose indiscreet and vehement partisanship cannot be kept under control even for an hour cr two at • public dinner? MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The Times describes the agreement the preliminaries of which Signor Tonello and Pius IX. are at this moment discussing, as in substance a recognition of the inalienable rights of the Romans as a free people with the claims of the Pope to a nominal sovereignty. Rome may re-con stitute her senate or municipal government, acknowledging the Pope, but the Pope alone, as her first magistrate. In every other respect the Romans should be admitted to the equal enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of Italian citizens, and the freedom of conscience on which the "State religion" is henceforth to be established throughout the Peninsula should be equally enjoyed under the very cannon of Castle St. Angelo. The Times is equally convinced that M. de Sartiges' mission has no other ' ,object than to urge upon the Pope the expediency of I acceding to some such proposal. The Daily News directs atte ntion to a paper treating of the cholera, lately read before the Epidemiological 1 society by Dr. E. Goode ve, who was one of the British I I commissioners at the International Sanitary Conference I I held during the past autumn at Constantinople. The Standard promises that at the next election Guildford I shall return two conservatives, and that Mr. Onslow shall be sent to find a seat somewhere else, " say for some sink of radicalism in the north." The Times describes two schemes of university extension which have been referred with others to a committee of the Hebdomadal Council at Oxford. The one contem plates the revival of an °tiler of poor, or " privileged," students within the university, and provides for its intro duction under such regulations as may best disguise its e leemosynary character. The other scheme is that of extension by *foliation, which has already been described in our columns. The first plan the Times views with disapprobation, at all events unless the experiment is tried by private benevolence. Of the second, it says, while unprepared to maintain that it is desirable for the University to risk its dignity or prestige by embarking in any Quixotic enterprise for the enlightenment of the nation, yet it is easy to ascertain beforehand what degree of support a measure of this nature would meet among the classes most interested in it, and the success of a like movement for the improvement of middle-class schools is, at least, a favourable omen. The TelerespA supports the candidateship of Mr. Ruskin for the professorship of poetry at Oxford in such terms as thee, :—" Why should not those English lads oho are exposed for sale in the market of the times be bought by Virtue in as wholesale a fashion as by Vice! Why should Oxford send out year by year only a few who have early in life decreed to live lovingly towards others, proudly and purely towards themselves, and faithfully and con stantly towards Heaven! If the choice between a proud and white life—full of trust in Heaven,full of love to men, rewarded by delights that evil knows nothing of—and an ill and useless life, selfish in its affections, narrow in its hopes, mean in its ideal, fearful of its end—if the choice b e tween such lives were placed plainly and boldly before English lads by preachers full of faith in the splendid truth and beauty of their doctrine, would so many prefer the lesser joys, or embrace the greater only when the prompter is remorse or self-reproach?" of reds Movie meni resort ((Meet such takir thou shot mac Tht rate al. towards fund 001:111131 year upon, pressed. of the h should' ulo. eared. ------------_ BROWN and POLSON'S CORN FLOUR for cammulars DIET.

Two days since a deputation of a dozen conser vative members of the Corps Legislatif, with the Vice-President Schneider at their head, waited upon M. Rouher, to remo nstrate against the pro posed plan for the reorganisation of the army. If, they said, the measure should come before the Corps Legislatif in anything like the shape set forth in the 3foniteur, they, as habitual supporters of government would be placed in a situation of cruel embarrassment. They received every day piles of letters from their con stituents urging them to vote against the project. They could assure M. Rouher that throughout France—in cities, towns, villages, and hamlets—in every class of society, among the dwellers in gilded saloons as among those in rosin-lighted hovels, the feeling against it was unanimous. There had been no such an upheaving against a government pro posal since 1848. The plan, if persisted in, would be the "45 centimes of the empire." (This is an allusion to M. Gamier Pees extra tax, which, by its unpopularity, is supposed to have contributed to the overthrow of the republican government and the advent of Louis Napoleon.) M. Rouher, seeing the determined attitude of the deputies, and, moreover, well knowing that they were in the right, thought it necessary to temporise. He received them with what is called eau benite ; begged them not to give way to un necessary excitement, assured them that the mea sure would be thoroughly considered in all its de tails, that it had to be examined by all the sections of the Council of State, and that if amend ments should be found necessary they would certainly be made. These assurances were too anodyne to give much comfort to the alarmed deputies, who know they represent the opinions and feelings of the vast majority of their colleagues now in the provinces. The majority of the marshals and generals who voted the ominous project (for there was a minority of the commission against it) will do their utmost to urge the Empe ror to carry it through ; and, with professional dis regard of civil opinions and constitutional scruples, will make small account of the remonstrances of the country.
