A rim days ago we drew attention to the case of Sir Jous Cass's School in the City. One of the trustees of the charity seems to think that we have scarcely done justice to the mode in which they administer the funds committed to their charge. A few words will make this matter clear. No doubt the charity property is administered in strict accordance with the law as it stands. But this is not the question we have to consider. The real question is, whether some change in the law which regulates the administration of charities is not im peratively needed. Sir Joni; CASS'S School is no special and peculiar case. There are hundreds of cases like it. But as it furnishes a compendious illustration of the evils incident to charitable foundations, it is a case well deserving of public attention. The foundation dates from the year 1709, its object being the education of poor children in the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate. At that time the ' income of the real estate amounted to 5401., and was then, as it still is, chiefly derived from an estate at Hackney. At that time St. Botolph was no doubt much more populous than Hackney, and Sir Joux Cass acted like a sensible man in devoting the rents derived from a oompa rative desert such as Hackney was in 1709, to a populous parish in the City of London. But times have changed. Hackney swarms with a vast population, which is by no means wealthy, while St. Botolph is the very centre of the richest city in the world. Trustees and others talk of the wills of the founders. But what mockery to talk of the will of Sir JOHN CASs ! Does any reasonable man suppose that the old City knight foresaw the changes which would come over St. Botolph and Hackney in a century and a half, or even in a century ? Take the facts, and consider whether such an idea is possible. Since the year 1709 the rents of the estate have risen from 5401. to something like 4,4501. ; while the children educated have only increased from 90 to 110. Indeed, the area from which the children come is so narrow that there is considerable diffi culty sometimes in filling up vacancies, and various roles have been made in order to prevent persons being attracted to the parish. This fact alone, which is common in such cases, proves the evils necessarily incident to such foundations. But to return. Out of this sum of 4,430/. there was a surplus in one year, after defraying every expense, including the improvement of the Hackney estate, of 2,783/. The question is, what ought to be done with this money ? It is said by the trustees that the inten tions of the founder must be carried into effect. The fact is that they have been carried into effect. The 110 boys and girls are educated, clothed, and some of them lodged. Indeed, more has been done for the children in the way of feed ing and clothing than the founder intended, for a dinner was all that was originally contemplated for all the children. At present, while only 2201. is expended in education, a sum of 961/. is expended in clothing and feeding, and a sum of 611/. in salaries, no doubt including those of solicitors, regis trar, and surveyors. Still, after making all these allowances, and carving the will of Sir JOHN Cass into complete effect, there is, as we have stated, a surplus of 2,783/. What, then, we repeat, is to be done with this money ? It was derived from the estate at Hackney. And what is the educational condition of Hackney ? It appesns from a Report made by the Inspector of Charities about the year 1854, that the parish of Hackney was then in want of schools, and especially that the parochial schools stood in great need of support. It was natural that application should be made to those who derived rents from the Hackney estate, and amongst others to the Trustees of Sir JOHN CASS, for contri bution towards the erection and the maintenance of schools for the poorer classes in the district. This is the principle upon which landlords through. out the country act ; it is the principle upon which the merchants of the City of London have lately acted in subscribing towards the erection of that school which is now being inaugurated by the Rev. WILLIAM Roo Ras and his friends. Is there any reason why it should not be acted upon by the trustees of Sir Joittr Cass's charity estate in the parish of Hackney? It is true that the trustees did grant A small plot of ground for a school at a nominal rent, and it was suggested that they should sub scribe a sum of 301. towards the maintenance of the Hackney schools. Whether or not this inten tion was carried into effect dose not appear, but what is this out of a surplus of 2,7831. ? How ever, even if there were no such recognised oblige- THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1866. tion as this on the part of Sir Joni Cam's trusteesil to subscribe to the schools, there seems little doubt that the public might set up a very strong claim! to the present and all future surplus funds, in order to use them for educational purposes. In Hackney there are some eight or nine schools, each of which has been partially built and is par tially maintained by the money voted by Parlia ment. One of these schools has cost the Govern ment at least 1,0001. to build, and the sums received from the annual grant amount to 7,000/. Thus it appears that, whilst the Exchequer is contributing thousands of pounds to support schools in Hackney be cause it is presumed that Hackney cannot support its own schools, the Hackney rents are carried off to the parish of St. Botolph, and allowed to accu mulate in the hands of trustees appointed by Sir Joint Cuss. Is it possible to conceive a more mischievous inconsistency ? The very rents which, if they were in private hands, would contribute to the support of schools in the parish of Hackney, are carried off into the City of London, and the Hackney proprietors are thus relieved from the burden of supporting schools. The last private owner of these rents obviously in tended to devote them to education, and made his will with such intention. But, notwit►standing all his pious intentions, he has not suoceeded. He has succeeded only in withdrawing the rents from the place where they probably would have been spent in schools, and in causing them to be care fully deposited, in the names of certain trustees, to accumulate idly at compound interest. It this case of Sir Jonx Cass's School were an isolated case, it would not be worth while to dwell upon it. Bat it stands as the representa tive of many others, and furnishes con clusive proof of the necessity for some great reform in the administration of charities. No doubt the trustees will be ready with some scheme of their own for employing the surplus money. Perhaps they may propose to build a school at Hackney, and there educate, clothe, and board every child in St. Botolpb, or in any other parish with which they may be connected. If they were allowed to do this, it would not only be most mischievous, but a violation of the will of the founder an great, if not greater, than if the surplus funds in the hands of the trustees were confiscated. But these chari ties must not be dealt with piecemeal. Some general principle must be laid down, and some body more vigorous than the present Charity Commis sioners must be charged with the duty of carrying it into effect. In the meantime every caution is needed against permitting trustees to deal with surplus funds according to those narrow notions cf public utility which trustees too often entertain. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THLS DAY.) Mahal= of 200 persons. Sines then the trustees have aspired land In Chelsea, Begenondsey, Langton, and Shadwell, selecting the localities so as to distribute the benefits of the fund as widely as possible over London. A large block of buildings at Islington, consisting of 155 tenements, with accommodation for 650 persons, was opened in September last year; and those at Shadwell are con siderably advanced. On the whole a sum of 25,8821. has been invested in land, and 58,8751. has been already ex pended in building. These dwellings, to judge by their description, must be positive luxuries to the poor persons who are fortunate enough to gain admission into them. Agreeably to Mr. reabody's wishes, no in. I • quines are made before admission, except such as are sufficieut to prove that the applicants are really of the poorer clan, and that they have a good character with their employers and with the world ; and when once ad. mittted they are free from all intrusion as long as they conduct themselves properly. The rent demanded for these houses, instead of being, as the trustees consider, the ave rage in London, 2s. 6d. or 3s. for one room, se. or ss. 6d. for two, and 6s. or 7s. for three, is but 21. 6d. for one, 4s. for two, and 55. foe three rooms. The buildings at Spitalfields are constructed with shops on the ground floor, and these alone bring in en annual return of 5001. The whole return for rent up to the present moment, after deducting all expenses, amounts to 7641. from Spitallelds, and 1791. from laliegton. There is thus, it will be seen, 84,737/, of the fund already expended, and there remain 72,0001. put eat at intermit and 4,0301. in hand. The charge for the management of the fund since the establishment, including books, stationery, salaries, and everything else, has been but 5171. For such a result, if for nothing else, remarks the Times, the trustees deserve the greatest credit. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. . SPAIN. A Madrid letter in the Zieek says : Admitting the insurrection to be suppressed, Prim taken prisoner and shot, as well as his accomplices Brigadier Milani de Basch and Caporals Contreras and Novilas, would the royal family be saved any the more? I think not—the discontent is too genteel foe the present move meat to remain an isolated foot. The revolution if de- feated in one part of the Peninsula will appear in another until the day of its complete triumph. Within the last month especially the conduct of the government has excited extreme dissatisfaction. The speech from the throne from which so much was hoped, deeply disappointed the Spanish nation. Instead of the reforms impatiently or. petted, it only found vague phrases and illusory promises; when it felt entitled to demand the liberty so often pro mind, it saw its hopes indefinitely postponed. The Spanish government therefore has no reason to be surprised at this insurrection, and if it has the good fortune to get safe out of the present crisis, it must sot slumber over its first triumphs ; for without a radical change in the home policy, not only the O'Donnell cabinet will be overthrown, but the monarchy of the Bourbons will have made a rapid advance towards its ruin. DISCOVERY OF ARMS IN DUBLIN. THE AMERICAR TRADE. The Times observes that in the cautions it I expressed against a reckless extension of trade with the United States, it has desired nothing but to check a con fidence in the responsibility of the importers of New York which appeared unlimited ; to hint that a very little mistake in calculations of the future must produce a terrible reaction ; and to show that the haste and want of fore-! thought which permitted debts to accumulate on the other side of the Atlantic, and made the solvency of exporters depend upon the continued prosperity of importers, were the means mat likely to bring about a collapse. From the shallows.= of American education, how ever, the artificial system of protection has found its last resting place in America, and if the New Englanders and Pennsylvanians in Congress gain their object, caution on our part will be unnecessary, for the trade which the Times would moderate the protectionists wonldabolish,compelling American citizens to use nothing but American produce. The Senate has, on the motion of a well-known menthe tore; passed a resolution directing a bill to be brought in for increasing the duties on foreign, and decreasing the e xcise on domestic msneactiires. Still the influence of the Western representatives, of the President, and of trf... kf'Culloch, may restrain the radical protectionists from pushing their victory tao far. This is to be hoped, for the sake of oar own people, but still more for the sake of the Union Welt The Daily Nem ridicules the gratuitous counsel offered to the L-nceshire and Staffordshire houses who are doing the balk of the increased American trade, and condemns the contemporary who has revived the dangerous sport of raising false alarms. The deplorable panic of '59 was brought on by his erroneous announcement of a secret menacing compact between ROAIII and France, and the same panic in the autumn of 1864, so ruinous to thousand% was canted by the publication by the same contemporary of the most untruthful letters, dated from New York, that have ever appeared in any newspaper, and by the confident r . endorsement at home of the correspondent's predictions of articles. The question is described as a really momentous en immediate peace. Writers who have so grossly betrayed one. The most recent and approved scientific estimates the publio should be careful how they trifle with reduce the 212 years of grace accorded to us in 1863 by great interests. In the estimate by the Times of the trade Sir William Armstrong to less than one half that period ; between Great Britain and America, in 1865, it is actually and the consequences to England of a bituminous bank. the case that of the greatest import of all—viz., cotton, no ruptcy are so incalculable that even at this date the mention is made. An ham of 13,000,0001. in a trade of subject most challenge the miens attention of practical about 32,000,0001. i. overlooked ! "The imports from Amer and scientific men. rice," writes the Tinted, "are singularly small," and for his instant confutation it is announoed that the arrivals of American cotton in Liverpool last week were 43,163 bales, representing a value of about 1,750,0001. ! And this is the quality of the economical instruction which is thought good enough for the greatest commercial country in the world. gbe Court. OSBORNE, J.t.w. 10.

The Post seeks in vain through the history of Southey's career for the evidence of inaanity. His was an ill-regulated mind, it is true, but it was so simply in the sense that the minds of all criminals are ill regulated. He feigned m►d neu in the dock. but before the trial was completed he showed himself ashamed of the transparent imposture. It would be an equivocal compliment to the Home Secretary to say that he evinced praiseworthy firmness in refusing to re-try by a medical commission a man whom a jury had pronounced on the moat conclusive evidence to be respond'. ble for his acts, but we are nevertheless glad to find that the course adopted two years ago in the ease of Townley is not regarded as a precedent at the Howe-office. If Southey had been respited, the offence of murder should have been expunged from our catalogue of crimes. The Herald comments on the sensation which we insist upon extracting out of our great malefactors, and thinks Southey's impression that be is as ill-used man in one sense is intelligible when he finds us anatomising his cha. raster; taking him as a subject for salons and an argument in the pulpit ; and at the limit Handing him ever to Jack Ketch as content as if he never had the honour of five minutes' of our consideration. We are not without some share of responsibility in these tragedies ourselves. We dandle our umlefactors into what we find them, and then hang them for becoming what we make them. The mania of Southey, in charging all he did amiss on society, had this particle of truth in it. It is we who grow up the social nuisances whose numbers multiply almost in the proportion of our novels, and who are always distinguishable among us by the characteristic that the element of their vanity is always as potent as that of their worthlessness. It was evident, from the first. that nothing but misfortune could happen to such • sickly product of our civilisation as Edward Southey. He WAS so unhappily constituted that he could combine all the vices in act with all the virtues in self esteem. He wan below the lowest place you could put him into in almost the proportion he thought himself superior to the best that chance might easter upon him ; and the comforting delusion never failed him, that whoever might be right he never could be wrong. His moral economy, It ma y be feared, was the practical reflection of a great deal of the lower kind of our popular lit/ratan. TEE PEADODY FUND. It report from the truatees of the above fend is published fa the T. We learn faun it that on the 29th of February, 1864, or about a year avd a half after the execu tion of the trust deed, the first block of Peabody buildings. in Commercial•road, Spitalielda, was thrown open for the EXECUTION OF THE MURDERER BOUTHEY.--(TEMS DAY.) The execution of the above extraordinary crimi nal was to isle place this morning at 12 °Week at Maid• stone. It would be needless to recapitulate at any great length the particulars of the fearful crimes committed by Southey. In 000 l blood and with the utmost deliberation he, in the first instance, destroyed the lives of three children at the Star coffee-home, in Holborn, and then, apparently bent upon carrying out his minion of blood. he rushed off to Revenge, where his wife, whom he had deserted for eight years, and a child, whom he bad nos seen during that period, resided. These be murdered in the most harbaroue manner, shooting first his wife and then his daughter. He made no attempt to escape, but apparently gloried in what he had dose. He has never appeared to entertain the slightest notion that any of the dreadful acts he committed constituted a crime; whatever the condition of his mind really may have been, there seems to be no doubt that he fancied he was justified in what he did. Although an endeavour was made to establish the defence of insanity at the trial, it appeared to have no impreeeion either upon the jury or the audience In the court. The almost unexampled occurrence of the counsel for the prosecution being actually cheered when he bed ooncluded a painful reply on behalf of the crown, and the fatal verdict of guilty, the effect of which would necessarily be to consign the wretched prisoner to the scaffold, being received in • similar manner, duly testified the abhorrence created by the crimes the prisoner had committed, and at the same time conveyed the impres. sion that no denbt was entertained that the prisoner was entirely responsible for his actions. The prisoner's conduct has been very extraordinary ever since he has been convicted ; such indeed as to create e strong impression in the mind of the Rev. Mr. Woolmer, the chaplain of the gaol, that his mind was disordered, and this opinion was not altered down to the last moment of the culprit's existence. The effect al this opinion wee to create a strong effort during the last few days to induces Sir G. Grey to respite the sentence until an opportunity was afforded for instituting • sales tifie inquiry into the state of the prisoner's mind. It should be explained that in order to justify the Secretary of State in taking this step, it Is necessary. under the provisions of a recent statute, that the visiting justices of the gaol when the culprit is confined should elan • certificate of their belief that he I. Meese. Mr. Ormerod, • barrister in the Hoene Ober% aid other gentlemen who took an interest in the matter, acting in conjunction with Mr. Gold, the attorney for the prieones, took the necessary steps to bring the matter before the justices, and by their direction the prisoner was Cited by Dr. Kirkman, the physician of the County Lunatic Asylum at Harping-heath, and • gentlemen poemmed of great ex perience in cases of insanity. Dr. Kirkman, after full opportunity had been afforded him for forming • conclusion. gave • certificate, which was handed to Mr. Method, the ch►irman of the visiting justices, end they ware nasal. measly of opinion that the certificate of Dr. %khans was not of a character to justify them in expressing an opinion that the culprit was insane. The Home Secretary would have no power to stay the execution of • culprit on the ground of insanity, except upon the expression of such an opinion by the visiting justices, but as it is understood, out of deference to the opinion of the chaplain and other circumstances, they resolved upon di recting Major Bannister, the governor of the gaol, to pro ceed to the Homeofilos snd lay the certificate of Dr. Kirk man before Sir G. Grey, bat they positively declined to ex press any opinion upon it. Major Babnister accordingly pro ceeded to London on Monday, and bad an interview with Sir G. Grey, and handed him the certifi cate of Dr. Kirkman, but, upon perusing it, and ascertaining that the visiting justices had not given any opinion upon the subject, and that, in point of fact, they did not miesider themselves justified in mating that they believed the prisoner to be insane, he at once, in the most positive manner, stated that he could see nothing that would justify him in interfering with the course of the law, and that the execution must proceed at the appointed time. It should be stated that the prisoner was not at all aware of the efforts that were being made to delay the sentence, sad me sequently there was no necessity to make him acquainted with the fact that they hal entirely failed. Southey has all along been led to understand that there was no chance of the sentence being in any way commuted, and he latterly appeared to be quite raking. When the governor of the gaol communicated to him the fact of his having received the warrant for his execution from the sheriff, he addressed the governor in the same affected tone of voice in which he spoke during the trial, and said, " Major Bannister, will you favour me with a sight of the document by which a fellow creature is to be consigned to another world?' The major handed him the warrant, which merely formally states that the prisoner was convicted in due form of law of the crime of wilful murder, and that he was thereupon ordered to be hanged by the neck until he was dead, and that this sentence was to be carried out on the 11th of January, and Southey, haring carefully perused it, banded it beck to Major Bannister and smiled, but did not make any further observation. Ile has occupied himself almost constantly in writing, and Major Bannister permitted him to so employ himself until 12 o'clock at night, on several occasions, at the pri soner's earnest request. He has appeared to enjoy his meek, and slept soundly almost every night. The culprit does not appear tl have been visited by any relation since he bas been at Maidstoae. The only persons who have seen him arc his attorney, Mr. Gold, and Dr. Kirkman. Mr. Scsidarnore, the under•sheriff for the county, whose duty it was to see the sentence of the law csrried into efface, arrived at the prison, accompanied by some of hie officers. shortly before 12 o'clock, but, in accordance with the rev lotions sod the order of the Secretary of State, no strangers. the representatives of the press included. were allowed to be present. WAITING AT THE HOSPITAL-S.—The following letter appears in the Times :—" Last S iturday evening I was passing along Commercial-road East when I saw a young man fall down, sod in endeavouring to says himself he broke his arm at the wrist, nearly driving the broken portion of the bone through the skin. Seeing the serious nature of the accident I bound it up as well ss I could with any handkerchief, and took him at once to the London Hospital, arriving there at 25 minutes to 9 o'clock pre cisely. We were shown into the room where they re ceived accidents, sad were there kept waiting until past 10 o'clock before a doctor came. Allow me to mention two or three of the cases kept waiting besides the young min I was with. When I arrived there was one man who had met with an accident to his left eye, already wading ; another was that of a women who had fallen down two flights of stain. thereby dislocating her shoulder, or otherwise injuring herself io that locality ; this case arrived, as near as possible, at 9 o'clock. The poor eras• tore was moaning in a most piteous manner for upwards of an hour before a doctor came down. Her husband was with her, begging that the doctor might be fetched. Allow me here to give you a specimen of the hospital nurse. The perspiration was rolling off the poor woman from the pain she was suffering. The nurse attending to this room gave the woman something to moisten her lips with, when the poor creature took the corner of the nurse's apron to wipe the perspiration from her face. The nurse, in a high state of indignation, pulled it away from her, and would not give her a cloth of any kind, and stood by while the husband tore a piece from the under clothing of his wife to soak up the perspiration from her face. Another case was that of a child five years of age, who, is fetching some paraffin oil io a glass bottle, had fallen down 'admit himself terribly on the hand and b ead,: the oil going into the wounds.

The trial of Daniel Byrne, warder of Richmond Bridewell, who is charged with having aided in the escape of James Stephens, also with being a member of the Fenian Brotherhood, commenced yesterday, and has not concluded. The judge will charge to-morrow. This morning a discovery was made in a house in Blackball-row, of 66 pikes complete, 246 pikes in a rough state, and 29 handles in course of prepara tion, also a patent machine for manufacturing per cussion caps. A barber named Brown, who came into the place while the police were in possession, was arrested, as was also Mrs. Tracy, the wife of the person who had rented the house in Blackball-row.

Upon this, as upon ►ll other occasions, it is a pleasure to the Queen to be associated with any works which tend to the moral eleva tion, to the cultivation of industry and the arts, or to the happiness of her Irish people." The census published at the end of every year by the vicariate of Rome shows the population of the city last year to have been 207,338, comprising soldiers, Jews, non-catholica, and prisoners. In the distinction of classes, ecclesiastics and students are put down at 4,661; nuns and novices, with their pupils, 4,847 ; soldiers (Pontifical, of course), 4,881 ; non-catholirs, 437 ; Jews, 4,552 ; condemned prisoners, 321. In 1864 the population was 203,896, so that during the past year it was augmented by 3,442 The Times correspondent, writing from Madrid on the 7th, says :—" There is no doubt that, independent of any justice or injustice of his cause, Prim will have to answer for she rashness with which he committed himself to au enterprise which, am it would now appear, held out so little hope of success, and the result of which will be to force back his country for a year or two in that career of financial and social improvement on which she was so slowly and painfully struggling to put herself. The con sternation and confusion of all men here is beyond all belief, and hardly seems commensurate with the actual importance of the escapade which has given rise to it. Ths effect of the mutiny of those few squadrons on 'Change, on railway and canal enterprise, on public confidenos in any kind of undertaking, is incalculable. Never have I seen ' the commercial men, who are numerous at my hotel, so downcast as they have been for the last three days." "At the distribution of the Twelfth-night cake at the Tuileries," says the Sport, "the bean fell to the Princess de Hohenzollern, who gave it to the Prince Impe rial. His highness, in return, handed to the MUMS • diamond bracelet, which he requested her to accept." A scandal has just occurred at the Jockey Club of Marseilles. A young man who had arrived from Paris with very good introductions, was discovered cheating at baccarat, and he was at once turned out, and loft the same day for the capital. THE LATE JOSEPH LOCKE. —A statue to the memory of Joseph Locke, the eminent engineer, has for some time past been on its pedestal in the Locke-park, Barnsley, awaiting the ceremony of unveiling. The day for that purpose is now officially fired for the 18th inst, and Lord A. Paget has undertaken the teak. At a meeting of the Barnsley Local Board of Health, on Tuesday, it was recommended that the entire battalion of the rifle corps should be present, and teat all public bodies and societies in the town should be invited to take part in the proceedings, which was agreed to. It was further sug gested that a public dinner should take place after the ceremony, at which Mr. W. S. Stanhope should be asked to preside, and Mr. E. Taylor to take the vice-chair. This suggestion was also agreed to. A local holiday will'mark the interestiug event —Sherburne Journal, A GALLERY OF ART FOR Livanroor..—Liver pool, thoagh possessing a population of upwards of 403,000, has hitherto powered no permanent gallery of art. There are small collections attached to some of the local institutions, but no institution analogous to those of Loados, Paris, and ether large cities, has yet been attempted. Yesterday, however, the Town Council, after a good deal of discussion, passed a resolution that a building suitable for a gallery of art, combining galleries for painting, sculpture, and • school of design, be erected on the recant land on the east side of the Free Library and Museum, and that such sum as may be necessary for the erection of the building be bor rowed on the security of the Library and Museum rate. It is intended, if the funds will admit, to make proviaiou also for an annual exhibition of works of art. Mr. J. A. Pictoo (a Liverpool architect), who was the mover of the resolution, stated that in Melbourne • noble gallery of art had been established, at a cost for the building of 50,0001., and of an additional 50,000/. for the land, while the mgs tion of the whole colony of Victoria was not equal to that of the town of Liverpool.

Before joining the great commercial alliance which begaa with the French treaty, Austria, says the Daily News, has had a host of antiquated jadeualee and fears to overcome. When the first whisper of such a treaty was overheard, pub lic opinion was bitterly hostile, and it is easy to understand how much delicacy sod discretion our commissioners must have practised. The remit to those who know Austria best is beyond expectation ; and when the ten years which the treaty is to run have expired, Baran Wulleadorl will be remembered by his countrymen as the Austrian Gladstone. The abolition of the timber duties, practically provided for in the final protocol, rids Hr. Gladstone of one of his most persevering, though not most Importuarte, suitors, and the assimilation of the duties on wine inbottle to those on wine in wood will be ardently welcomed at once by the French wine-growers, and by the increasing multitude of drinkers of French and Hungarian wines, who are beginning to discover that the art of bottling wines is not understood in England. The promised redaction of the Austrian duty on rap will also. let us hope, appease the irritation of those British paper. 6 makers who have managed to survive the transitional de. 6 preasion of the trade, and even to flourish in spite of them• selves. The Star shows that than who were foremost in denen• elation of the French treaty are now load in acclamation of the treaty of commerce just concluded with Austria. The genuine friends of free trade may well feel satisfied with this collateral result of the success which has followed lir. Cobden's beneficent end prolific ides.

Though nothing pretending to be a representation, could be imagined lea true to that character than convocation, the Times thinks that the comphinanta do not prove any representation to be necessary for the interests of the church. There will never be two rival parliaments in this country, either in secular or spiritual affairs. The House of Commons will not abdicate any portion of its inheri tants, ; so let the clergy come to it for what they want, and ' not waste their prayers upon inch a helpless idol as con. vocation. The Star believes the outline of the government reform i bill has been prepared; and was submitted by Earl Russell to the cabinet council held at his official residence, Down ing -street, yesterday. It would, of course, 63 unreasonable to expect any positive announcement with regard to the details of a measure which must as yet be regarded as under consideration. But the friends of re form have reason to hope that the scheme will prove to be uncomplicated by any details which might hamper its progress through parliament, and the Slar ven tures to predict that the positive assertion recently made by a contemporary as to the high rate of the county franchise to ' be adopted, will turn out to be unfounded. IThe Post seglisis the scene in the cathedral of Natal is the beginning of schism which may grow to large dimen. Bien!, and entail deplorable consequences. It is impossible to say at this stage how mach legal right the Bishop of Natal has, on the ens side, or how much ecclesiastical right the Bishop of Capetown has on the other. There is little doubt but the next step will be a formal excommunication by Bishop Cray, and the consecration by the South African prelates of a new Bishop of Natal.
