James Morehouse (which will be printed). The chair was taken by the Rev. E. R. Jones, rector of Limehouse in the unavoidable absence of the Bishop al London. Keay cle•gymen and laymen were present. The report was read by the Rel. W. T. F. Knollys, the hono rary secretary, and was inainly directed to two points:- 1. The objects of the association, which art to provide op portunities of communication and to foster a spirit of fel lowship between all persons engaged in the work of the church throughout the diocese, and the need of efforts to make it known and to extend it. 2. The question, which has been lately much discussed, of the desirahleriess of Dorn* more formal sanction being given to the work of lay men. whether as readers, catechists, or sub-deaoons ; and a resolution was adopted requesting the bishop of the dio cese to communicate with the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the hope that his grace may be willing to include this question in the list of subjects to be considered in the ap proaching conference of bishop.. to be held at Lambeth in the course of the autumn. TUC CONDMINAD FINIANS. —The Freema n 's Journal of yesterday says :—" We regret to say that the opinion gains pound throughout the city that the sen tence on General Thomas Burke will not be commuted, and that the law will be permitted to take its coarse. A large number cling to the hope that the government will be induced at the last moment to act with clemency towards the condemned man. But up to the present the governor of Kilmainham Gaol, the High Sheriff, or the Clerk of the Crown have received no instruc tions relative to General Burke from the authori ties. The warrant for the execution on Wednesday, the 29th instant, has been prepared in the office of the Clerk of the Crown, and, should noorder for the respite of the convict or for the commutation of the sentence arrive to-morrow morning, the authority for carrying out the dread hat of the law will be delivered the governor of KU =tinhorn Gaol. The warrant is a most repulsive looking document. It bears a deep black border, and is addressed to the High Sheriff. The drop in the centre of the front of the gaol and the disgusting machinery appended to it, are being thoroughly overhauled and put in working order. The drum and windlass, which bad been removed after the execution of Patrick Kilkenny, in J uly, 1885, an being again placed in position, and we learn that Calcraft has been written to to come from England to perform his revolting office. The veteran executioner replied to the communi cation, and demands M. and his expenses as the reward of his services. Notwithstanding all this preparation we have still strong hopes that the life of the condemned ' man will be spared, and that the community will be saved the shock of•• public execution, fortunately so rare amongst us. M'Afferty, sentenced to be executed on the 12th of June, is confined in a cell adjoining that of General Burke, in what is called " the new hell" of Kilmainham Gaol. There is no such thing in the prison as a condemned cell, and both convicts occupy the places in which they had been kept prior to their trial and conviction. Captain M'Afferty, like General Burke, ap pears to be perfect.y resigned to his fate, and converses cheerfully with the officials of the prison on various mat ' tem. The Very Rev. Canon Kennedy, P.P., and the good ' Sisters of Charity, are most unremitting in their attention on the unfortunate men, who are most pions in their de meanour, and -.mire with the greatest veneration the ministrations of the worthy chaplain of the prison. Mr. Price, the governor, and all the officials of the gaol, are most kind and attentive to the two men." THIS ACCIDINT TO MR.

PARIS, Mir Z. At a sitting of the Corps Ldgislatif this morning the Naturalisation Bill came on for debate. The tenor of the bill is to substitute the three years' residence for the term of ten years hitherto obli gatory, reducing the period to one year only where important services have been rendered by the claimant. The person naturalised is to enjoy all the rights of a French citizen. Official duties in the service of France in foreign countries are to be considered equivalent to residence within the empire. PARIS, HAT 23, Evzlrtiro. In the Legislative Body to-day the whole of the Naturalisation Bill was adopted, after a rather' animated debate, by 231 against 15 votes. The Bureaux will consider to-morrow the demand of M. Picard for leave to put a question to the government respecting electoral meetings. The' Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia will arrive hero this evening. The King of Prussia is ex pected on the 14th or 15th of June, and the Emperor of Austria in July. Yesterday a grand dinner was given by M. Schneider, President of the Legislative Body. Earl Cowley proposed the health of the Emperor. M. Schneider replied, and proposed a toast to the sovereigns and powers allied to and in amity with France. The French ship Jean Bart, stationed at Martinique, has been ordered to proceed to New York to bring home the ironclad frigate Dunderberg, bought by the French government. DEPARTURE OF THE CROWN PRINCE OF PRUSSIA FOR PARIS. BERLIN, MAT M.

On her return she was pursued and fired upon by another frigate, but arrived safely at Syra in two days. CROATIA. AGP.AM, iUT 23.

The King has conferred upon Baron Bentinck, his minister in London, the Grand Cross of the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands, as a token of approbation for the services rendered by him at the London Conference. THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, MAT 23. Brigandage having extended to other places besides the provinces of Froainone and Villetri, the Papal Government has ordered that the rigorous measures for its eradication adopted in those pro vinces by the edicts of the 7th of December, 1865, and of the 18th March, 1867, shall now be applied to all the provinces of the Papal States.

The return of the Bank of France for the week ending to-day shows the following changes as compared with that of last week : Increase— Cash in hand, 19,200,000 f. Decrease—Notes, 7,500,000 f.; Treasury balance, 6,500,000 f.; discounted, 11,000,000 f. ; advances, 8,333,000 f. ; private accounts, 4,000,000 f. Aanmaxii IN ElANOVER.—Considerable excite ment has prevailed in Hanover for several days past, owing to numerous domicili.iry visits and arrests having been made by the Prussian police among all classes of society. So far as can be ascertained the cause is believed to be the discovery of a combination between members of the Hanoverian nobility,. in the event of a war between Prussia and France, to Join the French with a Hanoverian legion, and make a diversion into the newly annexed kingdom. Recruiting agents have been actively at work for this purpose, both in Hanover and London, several having been arrested throughout the province while in the execution of their task. Part of the plan appears to have been to induce Hanoverian soldiers upon furlough and men drawn for military service to desert the Prussian colours. One of these recruiting agents, Baron von Rolle, who bad been taken in the fact, has escaped from prison, as is supposed by the connivance of one of his gaolers. In telligence from Hildesheim states that the chief of the movement in that town was • former Hanoverian oßeer, whose house was searched, but who saved himself from arrest by speedy flight. Sixteen young men, well pro vided with money, were stopped at Meppen and brought hack to Minden, having attempted to escape across the Dutch frontier. Some twenty youths, endeavouring to evade military service by emigration to America, were arrested at Geeetemunde and brought back. A domiciliary visit was paid yesterday to the banker, Ezekiel Simms, who had just returned from Vienna, whither he is said to be preparing to remove. A sum of 40,000 thalers belonging to the private fortune of King George was discovered, which it is maid was to be secretly paid) over In a manner altogether contrary to agreement. Herr Simon was at rested and conveyed to Berlin. An amount of 20,000 theists was also seized in the possession of another Haw verian banker. A third search was made in the house of Countess Wedel, whose husband is attached to King George's suite at Hietzing. A cigar dealer , one Preteen, has been arrested, as is believed, for political reasons. It is rumoured that in consequence of the discoveries made by the police, energetic measures will be taken by the government, which they have hitherto hesitated to adopt. —Renter's Express. _ PALAOS.

The bitter cold wind which swept across the Downs to-day deterred many from " notating" in the celebration of the sport. and consequently the attendance was but limited, being small even for an "oft" day. Throughout the day speculation on the Oats was somewhat languid, but the Derby and the incidents connected with the memorable race furnished a fruitful topic of conversation. A meeting of the stewards was held soon after the mane commenced to invest a te a complaint mad* by the starter against Jemmy Cirimshaw, "Speedy" Payne, and Hard castle, for insubordination at the post in the Doby. The result was that the trio were suspended from to-day until the 7th of June. Grimshaw much regretted the decision, as It will prevent him from riding his favourite Marksman In the Grand Prix of Paris, the Ascot Gold Cup, and Molting in the Alexandra Plate at Ascot. Apropos of tribunals, it may be mentioned that Othildwin this morning surrendered to his bail, and was charged before the magistrates with a violent assault of which he was proved guilty, and lined LS and costa. As Intimated previously, the weather was very cold and cheerless, and the anxiety of the jockeys to get round the coke fire in the reporton' room im posed one with the Idea that we were attend a steeplechase meeting in the dead of winter rather than the Epsom summer meeting. lacing commenced at half-peat 1 o'clock. with the Tsdworth Stakes, for which there were eleven runners, Lord Westmorland's liereaulaners being made the favourite, but the winner turned up in hick Turpin, the favourite tailing to get placed. Mr. Hrayley lost his horse, as Lord Vivian purchased him tor 4.5 guineas, his lordship also claiming Adjutant. The Carew Stakes was contested by a field of ten, the representative of the " green and silver braid" being again elected favourite but this time the issue confirmed the judgment of the "talent," fur Easter Willie won by a head, after adios race with Oorporal The meeting of Orimaton and Lady Elizabeth In the two-year-old race was Invested with conskierable interest, and despite the fact that the mare beat the hone at the ante weights and over a similar distance of ground at Bath, Urimaton had the Loll in the betting. The pair furnished an exciting contest, running head and head for some strides, and finishing a dead heat. In the deciding beat odds of 5 to 4 were laid on Ortmston, but the mare, running with great gameness, held &alight advantage throughout, winning cleverly by a neck No fewer than twenty out of the twenty-:our coloured went to the post for the Eporn Grand Stand Cup {sub stituted for the weight for age cup, which was last year won by The Duke), Cheltenham, whose chance on recent form seemed a good one, being made the favourite at sto I. The race, which ' le detailed below, was a good one, but • " cannon" ensued in the last hundred yards, and the Annie Laurie colt, being quickest to recover himself, won by three parts of a length, the favourite being third. An objection was 'Aged agauust the first and second, on the ground of a " justle," - but the stewards, after deliberation, overruled it. The result was a rare turn up for the backers of lx to I being obtainable about the winner. Alberta, who was an equal favourite with the Wings of a Dore won the Walton Stakes by • neck, and was subsequently told to Mr. Chaplin for Ili guineas. Odds of 4 to 1 were laid with avidity on Miss Havelock fur the "Gui neas," and she credited the Manna's of Meetings with a maiden win in the "scarlet and white hoops." The day's sport was brought to a close by Loates being indulged with a couple of walks over on Bismarck and Artesian for the Shirley Stakes and the Epsom Four Year-old Stakes respectively.

SAND NOMT.—Tfie third anniversary match between the Gentlemen Cadets of the above great military institutions took place yester day at lord's Ground. Woolwich has been victorious In both the previous matches, but on the preseut occasion Sandhurst was amply avenged. The morning was fine, but a piercingly cold north-east wind swept acmes the ground, and the consequence was that the spectators were comparatively few. The Lund of the Royal Artillery (sixty-four strong) was In attendance. Wool wich won the toes, and—unwisely as we thought—put their op ponents in.

JOSEPH BARSBY'S CHOIR. The first concert of this newly-formed institu tion took place last night at Bt. James's-hall. Mr. Barnby is well known as en accomplished organist, in connexion with the church of Bt. Andrew's, Wells-street, where the choral service has ling been nosed for its excellence. The newly-formed choir, which commenced its performances last night, consists of about two hundred and forty voices, bright and fresh in quality, true in intonation, and ready and certain in execution. The training must bay, been ex cellent to have brought so large a number into such fusion and sympathetic action for a first performance ; and there is every prospect of this choir becoming one of the perma nent musical Institutions of London. The hall was well filled, the encores were numerous, and the result of the first performanoewss such as to promise a successful future for Mr. Barnby's choir. LOWER IWIDDLE-CLASS EDUCATION. A meeting of persona interested in middle-class education was held yesterday in St. Paul's School, Knights bridge ; the Hon. and Rev. R. Liddell in the chsir. Letters of regret for non-attendance and hearty amps*, with the purposes of the meeting were read from Earl Russell, Lord Morley, Lord Strathmore, Mr. Sykes, Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Hubbard, H.P., and Mr. G. Hardy, M.P. Amongst those present were 'Viscount Halifax. Sir C. Trevelyan, Hon. H. Walpole, Hon. C. 1.. Wood, Mr. Barnett, M.P., Lord R. Cavendish, Lord Scott, M.P. do. The Chairman explained that the object of the meeting was to promote the building of a large sc ho ol for the educa tion of children of the lower middle class. As the children of this country belonged to the church of England, although from various unfortunate circumstances mazy of them bad strayed away from her fold, it was their duty to try and retail the wanderers to the church by simple acts of attention, kindness and self-denial.—The Rev. Mr. Woodward, provost of St. Nicholas College (which was founded in 1848 for the special object of im proving middle-class education amongst church of England children), detailed the scheme for which support was re quired. The proposition was to establish a boarding school at Ardingly, Sussex, for the sons of small shop keepers, artisans, &c., who could afford 14 guineas per year for board and lodging. Nearly 300 inch boys were already being educated, but premises were required to accommodate 1,000. The education was essentially that of the church of England. The rev. gentleman insisted that the church of England had suffered greatly from lack of some inch educational provision, and instanced a dis trict where he said all the farmer, were detached from the church of England, because the Wesleyan' established a small school there, and sent down • number of local preachers, who made friends with the boys and married all the daughters.—The Dean of West minster moved a resolution declaring that the scheme was worthy of public support—Viscount Halifax, in seconding the motion, said he did not intend to introduce politics into the meeting, but he could not help saying that as a large number of persons were about to be introduced into the political machinery of the country, and as clews were about to be invested with political power who never pee 'eased it before, it was highly essential for the political safety of the country that the newly safranchised classes she uld be educatel in such a way as to fit them for the exercise of the vote. (Hear, hear.) He believed further that the moral and religious training that would be received in establishmentslike these would not only con tribute essentially to the religious and moral welfare of the individual taught, but would tend to place the social and political systems of the country at large upon eater and broader foundations. (Hear, hear.) The resolution as Bishop of Oxford moved • resolution pledging the meeting to assist the College of St. Nicholas in completing a lower middleohisa school for 1,000 boys He had a strong conviction that this was a most important movement towards the promotion of public education amongst the people of this country. The great want of the education of the lower middle class, reaching to • considerable height into the middle-class itself, was not direct pecuniary help, but the absolute and primary means of education. Thew lower middle-class schools were therefore not intended to bear an eleemosynary cha racter. The right rev. prelate then ridiculed and con demned the schools conducted on what be called the "self applaudintadvertiaement system,"and pointed out that the schools the meeting was pledging itself to support would be conducted on genuine principles. The remaining speakers were Mr. Barnett, M.P., Mr. .1. A.S. Stewart, Lord Henry Scott, and Mr. Walpole. Thanks were voted to the incumbent for the we of the schoolroom at the close of the meeting. THE COMPOUND HOURZHOLDER QUISTION.—This question formed a subject of discussion at the meeting of the Msrylebone vestry yesterday. Mr. Greenwell, the vestry clerk, said the parish would be injuriously affected if the proposition that occupiers instead of owners of houses should be rated were adopted. There were a great many small houses which the landlords let to persons who lived in one of the rooms and let the remainder to other tenants. The occupiers of these houses might be weekly or monthly tenants, whilst the rate made in the parish was yearly, and before any rate could be levied upon them the population would have changed, as they belonged to the mtgmtary class. The matter gave rise to considerable discussion, and ultimately a deputation was appointed to wait upon Lord Derb y in respect to it. THE REFORM BILL FOR SCOTLAND.—The in habitants of Helenaburg assembled on Wednesday night, in the King-street Hall of that town, under the presidency of Provost Breingan, to consider,' and in fact to protest against, the proposal made by Mr. Disraeli in his Scotch Reform Bill, to clarify Helenaburg with the reconstructed " Falkirk burghs," thus severing its natural connection with Dumbartonshire, and, a• the wiley Chancellor of the Exohequer doubtless intended, handing over the represen tation of the latter county into the hands of the tory party. Addresses strongly deprecating the government proposal were delivered by the chairman, Sir Jaunts Colquhoun, Mr. Stephens, Mr. Baxter, end others, and ultimately the meeting resolved, notwithstanding a feeble attempt at • counter move, that • petition should be got up sad pre sented to parliament, praying that Hetensburg should not be associated with the Falkirk burghs.—ZiortA Brffiak Mail. ---• RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS BEFORE PARLIA MENT.— Yesterday, in the House of Lords in Lord Rodeadale's committee, the following bills passed through, and were ordered to be reported: The Newry andGreenore Railway, Sheffield Water (Amendment), Sheffield Water (New Works), Norwich Local Board of Health, Provident Clerks and General Guarantee Association, Sal ford Borough, Gateshead Improvement, and Fulham Rail way. The Ramsden's Etate, Peters6eld and Bishop's Waltham Railway, and the Rathkesle and Newcastle Junction Railway Bills were adjourned. In Room C th. it lordships pissed the Southport Water Bill and ordered it to be reported and adjourned; and the Metropolitan Railway and the North Metropolitan Railway Bills to be further adjourned until this day (Friday). In Room D, the Welland River Outten Bill was ordered to wait report. The same committee adjourned the further consideration of the Witham Drainage, Dundee New Gas, and the Du odes Gas Bills. In the Painted Chamber, their lordships passed the Great Eastern Railway Bill, which wu ordered to be reported. The Birkenhead Improvement Commissionen Bill was adjourned until this day (Friday). Mr. Frere (one of the examiners, held • court, and declared the standing orders to have been complied with in the oases of the Weymouth Consumers' Gas Bill, the Bingloy Exten sion and Improvement Bill, and the Solway Junction Railway Bill. No further standing orders were applicable ' in the case of the Greenwich and South Eastern Docks Bill. In the House of Commons, in Mr. Dodson's um. mittee, the following bills passed through :—The Towns Drainage and Sewage Utilisation, Hs ton and Roby Gas, Devon and Cornwall Railway, Central Cornwall Railway (No. 2), Richmond Gas, Athena and Koala Junction Railway, Glasgow (City) Union Railway, Bristol Port Railway and Pier, and Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway.

In Croup 12, the appearances were taken, and the came proceeded with of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Bill,and the same company's bills, N.A. 3,2, and 4, respectively. SUICIDE BY A CLEROYMAN. —A painful sensation has been created in the village and surrounding district of Bucknell, Shropshire, by the determined suicide of the Rev. J. R. Coope, the respected vicar of the parish. From the evidence adduced at the corooer's inquest it appears that the rev. gentleman, after spending the evening with his family, retired to the bathroom, where he remained so long a time that the family and servants went to her,. At midnight, however, his son, becoming alarmed at his eon. tinnel seclusion, went to the bathroom door and knocked, but received no answer. He then attempted to enter, but found the door was locked, and ultimately, with the assistance of the butler, he broke open the door, and found his father lying on the Door with a fearful gull in his throat, and • razor covered with blood underneath hie dead body. The rev. gentleman had for some months pact appeared to be in unusually low spirits, but the cause of his depression was not known to his family. The jury re. turned • verdict to the effect that the deceased destroyed himself while labouring under a fit of temporary insanity. The Rev. Mr. Coops was in his 64th year, and had been connected with the parish of Bucknell for upwards of 30 years, during which time he bad gained the esteem and affection of all his parishioners. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The great flower show of the season will take place to-morrow. The entries are more than usually numeireus. THE NEW VACCINATION BILL. Dr. Gibbon, in his fortnightly report on the health of the Holborn district, dates his reasons against the registration of vaccination ea follows : I. Because such register, founded, as it is proposed, on that of the births, would be inoomplets, sad delusive for stathilsal purpose*. registration of births not being compulsory is England and Wales is far from oomplete. It is estimated in large towns that about 8 per cent. go iht rsitstered.

Because such redder, if it quid be rendered com plete, wesid las of wo pewit/ea utility. It i. and sad ter wise to smierasia wilather a person baa been vassinatild by direct inspestlon of the area, than by calling for and consulting certificates and registers the genuineness of which may be doubtfuL 3. Beeauae such compulsory registration will amoursie rather than promote vaccination. The penalties, the cer tificates, and thi trouble it indict' On parents sad prsaii tionera, will deter many from having anything te do with the operation. The cue of the public vaccinator is, under the present bill, as follows:—For performance of an ope ration requiring skill and time be will, if successful, re ceive is. fid., but in case he neglects " what he well knows to be a useless piece of red-tripisin," to write two certifi cates and to send one of them to the right registrar within twenty-one days, he will be subject to a fine of 20e. 4. Because the expense to the ratepayers—vim., the coat of stationery and postage, and the fee of 4d. per use to the registrar—will be considerable. THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY AND HIS CLERGY. The following is his lordship's reply to the protest of the churchwardens of the deanery of Bridport against his charge: - " 1, Creech Grange, Wareham, May 21. "My dear received yesterday the address which you have forwarded to me from acme of the churchwardens who heard that part of my charge which I delivered at Bridport. lam bound to do 1111 can to help my clergy to be faithful to their obligation• • to minister the doc trine and sacraments and the discipline of Christ, as the Lord bath commanded, and as this church and realm path received the earns,' and I am persuaded that I have justified what I have said in the discharge of this duty by the authority of the Prayer-book and other formularies of the church of Kngland.—l remain, my dear air, yours faithfully, " W. K. SALON. " J. Pope, Esq." • Ordination Pricid.—" Will you then give your faithful diligence silvan so." &c. Another protest bee been addreseed to the bishop by the Rev. Isaac Smith Litchfield, for the past 26 years rector of Beckland Ripen, Dorset. It is in these emphatic farms: "Hy Lerti,—Understanding from your charge that you state that God has given to certain men supernatural powers to work miracles, and to make ouch a change in the element, of bread and wine in the Lord's Supper as is equivalent to transubstantiation, I beg to say that I con sider such doctrines as absolutely blasphemous, and by im plication idolatrous ; equally at variance with Scripture and natural reason, impossible in themselves (at least with respect to the latter), and therefore impossible to be be lieved ; offensive in the highest degree to the enlightened understandings and pious feelings both of protestant churchmen and of ill simple-minded Bible Christiana ; and that, however you may be blind to the fact or inno cent in your intentions, the propounding of them as you have done is a daring insult to those whom you have ad dressed. Whatever steps may be taken in the quo ky thi elerry of this disease, I cennolocerain frees orgdleg this solemn declaration in the sight orGorl, and pulliAing it in duty to otters. I declare it te be my Oath opinion. that while you preach such doctrines as these. which are of the very essence of itomaniain, you are unfit for your office, and ought either to resign or to be deposedi t Irsleed, I do not know how, under such circumstances, I could ac knowledge you as coy legal superior." TURKEY ♦ND TER CRETAN hrscanzermx.—We read in the Indiperulance Bdge In order to give an appearance of sincerity to its promises of reform in favour of the Christian population of the island of Candle, the Porte had caused a delegation of that population to p to Constantinople for the purpose of making known the grievances of the island, and of concerting a plan of re organisation with the Ottoman government. We know by our Constantinople correspondence in what manner this delegation was recruited, and how little calculated it was to fulfil the pretended mission entrusted to it. We now learn that a certain number of these delega.es have admitted that they received no authority from the populations they were supposed to represent, and that they have left Constantinople, after addressing to all the diplomatic agents accredited to the Porte an energetic protest against the proceedings of the Turkish authori ties." THR FRNI AN TRIAL& —Du BLIN,THURSDAY NIGHT. —The warrant for the execution of Burke was placed in the hands of the sheriffs this afternoon. At the Cork Special Commission to-day Captain M'Clure withdrew the plea of " Not Guilty," and said he had been duped into taking part in the insurrection. The other prisoners, Kelly, Joyce, and Bowyer, were convicted, but recom mended to mercy. Sentence was deferred. CHARITABLE REQUEATA. —The late 31r. W. J.

There are sevend annuities and legacies to the members of hie family and to his domestic servant..—City Press. THE STATE or M Zllt-0. —The following is an extract from a private letter lately reorived from an English resident in the city of Mexico. and dated April, 1867 :—" The plan now is to cite people before the prefect and tell them theymust pay 10,000, 20,000.0r30.1100 dole. or go to gaol.

Since then the Council has bees continually receiving offers fiom Swiss capi talists, who are ready to supply all the money wanted on the same terms, that is to say, at par at 44 per cent. Yielding to these applications, the Counal has decided on emitting the second portion of the scrip, and has charged its finance department to take the neces sary steps. Naturally the emission will take place at par, and will certainly be at once taken up.
