Aftersoos, LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. THE case of " Austin v. Austin," which was decided on Wednesday last, deserves a passing notice, both as a contribution to the building up of the law on the vexed question of the education of children whose parents are of different creeds, and also from the objectionable character of the grounds on which the ifasrEit of the Rums founded a substantially unexceptionable judgment. The circumstances which led to the suit were very simple. A Roman Catholic gentleman married a Protestant young lady in July, 1881, and in June, 1862, a daughter was born of the marriage. &Tea or eight months before the birth of the child the father had prepared a draft of his will, is which be directed that his children should be educated in his own religion; but this will was never executed, and the father died in December, 1862, without having given any further instructions neon the matter. The case came before the Court of Chancery in the form of an application from the brother of the deceased father to have himself ap pointed guardian to the infant, in order to secure that she should be educated in accordance with the clause in the unexecuted will. This application, however, was refused by the Court ; the mother was appointed guardian, and as no directions were given as to the religious training of the child, it will of course be brought up a Protestant. It is possible that this result may give rise to some ill-feeling in the minds of English Roman Catholics, and it must be admitted that by an un fortunate coincidence most of the cues of a simi lar kind which have occurred of late years have been decided with an apparent bias in favour of the Protestant suitor. But the law as it is now laid down does not seem to give any prepon derance to the claims of one religion or the other. Where the survivor of a mixed marriage happens to be the mother, the question necessarily pre sents itself, whether the wishes of the living or the dead parent are to be attended to in the edu • cation of their child. It may easily be guessed that English law, which has never erred on the aide of rating the equality of the sexes too highly, attaches immense importance to the father's wishes on this point. He "has a " right," says Vice-Chancellor WOOO, in the case of " Hill v. Hill," "to be listened to with singular " attention—with an attention which will over " bear everything except the welfare of the chil " dren." As a matter of fact, however, both in that case and in this of "Austin v. Austin," Roman Catholic father's expressed or supposed desire has been disregarded, and it is worth while pointing out the reasons which guided the Court of Chancery to take this coarse. In the first mentioned case the father's will contained a dis tinct provision that his children should be brought up Roman Catholics, but the fact that he had allowed their Protestant mother to have the entire charge of their education during his life was held to constitute such an abdication of his rights as to let in the consideration of what would be for the benefit of the child. In the case of " Austin " I% Austin," though the father's will was drawn out, it was never properly completed, and the Court decided that the omission to do this im plied sufficient hesitation on his part to justify it in disregarding the informal instrument and acting exclusively for the interests of the child. In neither ease could there be ►ny question as to what this latter consideration would dictate. When a child is too young to have received any inde pendent religious impressions, the mother is ob viously the fittest person to have the charge of it, and nothing but the most entire certainty that the removal of a child from its mother's care was in accordance with the father's positive and ex• fII lI.POTT'S CRINOLINES.

THE premed wiah, could authorise a court clkinedle to becur so serious • responsibility. J/Mlllll6waven this oertainty would constitute • etas:dent grotto& for action is still an undecided point. The Meares of the Rozau says that be should hesitant to take an infant from its mother "in any one ;" but, however this may be settled when an exam ple of the kind shall arise, we do not see that any fault can be found with the law ao far as it has been declared. IT was generally remarked at the time, that Mr. Bat oar's speech at the Birmingham Exchange was, for him, unusually mild ; some even called it tame. That which he delivered before the general body of his constituents on Wednesday, at the Town-hall, will restore him his old reputation. There was • fiery glow of passion and • vigour of denunciation about it which seemed to belong rather to • peat stage of our political life than to the indolence and apathy of these times. In fact, but for one circumstance, we should be in dined to blame it as mistimed, coming as it did like a thunder-clap in a clear sky. There is no great movement afoot just now which it can assist, and we do not think it was Mr. Baton's intention to begin one. The discrepancy is ex plained, however, by •ilosices which recur at intervals in the course of his remarks. The speech at the Birmingham Town-hall wee a counter blast ; it was • reply to the speeches of the Tories in South Devon. Whether it was worth while to give so much importance to the prattle of the Devonshire squires may be doubted. Lord CHURSTON, the Earl of Devon, Sir LAWRINCS Pars, and the other spoken at Torquay pro bably meant nothing serious, but finding them selves in • position in which they were expected to talk, they uttered the thoughts that were upper most In their minds. It will be the fault of Birmingham Resit, however, if it is ever ruled from Torquay. Having to take the Devonshire speeches for his text, the strain and quality of Mr. BRIGHT'S ser mon might be predicted. It is very remarkable that the persona who are foremost to press the question of Parliamentary Reform on public notice, should be those who do not conceal their dislike of the subject, or the joy they would feel if it could only be fairly shunted into some siding of the po litical highway. There is no great stir made by the unrepresented classes themselves. No power ful agitator has taken the field. No great orga nisation' appeal to the public. The language of popular members to their constituent' contains little hope or promise. Why, then, are we troubled with the subject again and again, and how is it that those who have been at infinite pains to per suade theniaaves and us that reform is an ex ploded fallacy, should obtrude their misgivinp and alarms, just as it seemed as if they had enemata Let it be observed that it is in the midst of the completed political stagnation the nation has ex perienced for the last thirty years that Lord DavoN declares the progress of what he calls De mocracy to be most alarming ; and that Earl Gaze tells us that though the current of opinion is jamb now against reform, it will not always be so ; that even without distress the cry for reform may re vive ; and that if schemes foe increasing the in fluence of the people in the Howe of Commons continue to be met, as they have hitherto been, by mere resident* to all change in the constitution of Parliament, we may expect that sooner or later they will be adopted. It is just because it is so evident that this ques tion will grow in importance that we deprecate any premature attempts to settle it either by the factitious agitation which once deeply disturbs the public mind, or the arts of politicians who would put off the people with an empty shadow. The unrepresented will lose nothing by waiting pa tiently for their opportunity. All the influences of the age are visibly at work for them, and we are more concerned to see them advancing in all the qualities which make up the character of the true citizen than to see them inflaming themselves with passion in the endeavour to seize an hour or two earlier than they would otherwise do a privilege which is their reversion by the surest tiller On this account we most regret the tone of the greater portion of Mr. BRIGHT'S speech, which would have lost nothing in force if the considera tions he presented to his hearers had been con veyed in more moderate language. When inten tions so radically hostile to the great body of the nation as those proclaimed at Torquay can be ex pressed in gentle language, it is • pity that a nobler policy should bear the outward appearance of jealousy and At the same time it is not for those who advocate hard things—such as the permanent exclusion and proscription of five-sixths of their countrymen—to complain if their conduct is described in hard words. The manner in which the remarks both of Mr. SCNOLRYIELD and Mr. BRIGHT respecting the main features which must appear in any satisfactory Reform Bill were received at Birmingham, should have its lesson for thee" inventive gentlemen who never tire of constructing electoral puzzles in the form of schemes for the extension of the franchise. Mr. SCHOLLTIELD deprecated any measure of " ingenious contrivances." " What they wanted was an extension of their " franchise within the boroughs and counties, and " a more equal distribution of electoral power— " the transfer of seats from insignificant places to " places of greater wealth and population." This is what Liberals have always asked for, and what Liberal Ministers have repeatedly promised. Mr. CHART.= BUXTON'S unhappy proposal to make wealth nakedly and avowedly the source and measure, as well as the mark, of electoral power, has been put forward only to be speedily with drawn. Earl Gust's plan of • cumulative vote is still, we believe, recommended to the public. Lord Gast advocates the principle of giving to every elector se many votes as there are members to be elected by the constituency to which he be longs, with the right of giving all these votes to a single candidate, which he may not do at present, or of dividing them, as he may prefer. The pro faned object of adopting this rule is to secure to minorities • fair opportunity of making their opi nions and wishes heard in the House of Commons. According to Earl ORS; to omit to make such a provision for the representation of minorities as he recommends, would be " flagrantly unjust." He must have studied the British Constitution for many years who has discovered that the defec tive representation of minorities is one of its weak points ; but Lord GREY is a very clever man. His plan is one for giving a decided majority at the poll to • candidate who may have the fewest sup porters, and it will be a long time before any en thusiastic call is made for a Reform Bill based on that principle. Of course there is a reason why these various schemes are brought forward. Their authors feel that an extension of political power to the people is not a contingency which depends on the arts of political organization, or the eloquence of platform speakers, or the clamours of great public meetings, although these may accom pany it as signs : they know that it is in the pro gress of events inevitable. And we venture to think that, believing this, they would show more FRIDAY EV ..of rattly rocogoitiog the new power, woi . ariop is LrmooiM it with the eitoient . - Oonstit.• ,ttiie by whip by it andaavoutin and venerable pieta of the —itution, putting forward little " dodges," which are out as soon se the publio eye is turned on them. gbe gem.

All the civil and military authorities were present at the divine service, which the priest of the day turned into a political demonstration. Pointing with his finger to a Greek flag unfurled in the church, he expressed his belief that that flag which now floated over the lonian Islands would lead the Greeks to Constantinople, where the crescent, reddened with Christian blood, still weighs upon the church of St. Sophia. The Regent Alexander Delviniotis added an Amen,' which was repeated by all the assistants. It is stated that this orthodox and patriotic seal has brought down upon him severe censure from Athens." RUSSIA. ♦ 8t Petersburg correspondent of the hultspend ance of Brussels regards the nomination of the Grand Duke Constantine to the Presidentship of of the Council of the Empire as indicating a change of policy, and probably the end of Moursviers all powerful influence.

According to tho Correspondencia of Madrid, the question pending between Peru and Spain must be by the present moment defioitively settled one way or another. That journal says : From what is keows of the inetractione given to Admiral Pinion, as 'well as of those carried out by Genera Pareja, and from the sews brought by the Pad& seal, it is possible to foresee a final solutioe. If Peru has cremated to listen to the counsels of the representatives of Chili and Booms Ayres ; if it has not refused to negotiate with Geseral Pareja ; if, with that view, it has asked sod obt tined the authorisation of the Peruvian Congress ; if it consents to give eatideo. tics to Spain on all her demands ; if it abandons the guano of the islands as a guarantee for the payment of our war exposer ; if, in fine, it has eciessetod to all this, within the absolute term of one week allowed far deciding, we may hope that the Spaniels squadron of the Pacific is on its way hack to Spain. But if, oa the co Cr ary, Pere has re *tad the counsels of its friends ; if it still delays the pay ment of its debts and of the indemnity for peat *Bosom ; if It refuses to pay Spain the expenses incurred in enforcing her gams, this we may hope that the Spanish vow& will larrive in Europe about Karel, after taking • quantity of gismo equivalent to the sums due on all demands. TURKEY. The Levant Herald, of the 11th, says The Imperial Ottoman Bank has protested against the scheme of the General Credit and Finance Company for the consolidation of the internal debt and the conversion of the existing conaolieles into a foreign stock. It pleads its charter-right to be the sole finan cial agent of the government abroad, a right which would, it considers, be infringed on if the conduct of such an operation as the London Company pro- poses were entrusted to the latter's bands. The scheme is therefore, our information states, for the moment at leant shelved, and the ground so far left open for the new foreign loan, the project for which is in course of incubation for the coming spring."

It appears that the unfortunate men picked out of the raise in Great Wincbesteretreet yesterday were mot deed, as wu reported at the time. They were eight in umber, viz., Thomas Pearce, William Orme, Peter Left boon, Charism Hale, William Ryan, Thomas Tour, James Kesepster, sod Preach Taylor, the two lest named being boys, end both of them seriously hurt. They were all taken in calm with all due speed to at. Bartholomew's Hospital, where they were received by Mr. Peerless, the house surgeon, and by Mr. Motes the senior surgeon, of that =giddiest establiehmeat, the value of which and of other kindred toundatloes is the metropolis is always conspicuously exemplified ea the occurrence of such calamities.

Upon ea examination of the Mate of the front wall it was found that the main structure bad not curtained any material damage, so that the nom• *tin of the extensive pile will not be mesh delayed. Bo far as can at present be engrained, it appears that the sad occurrence was on of pure midget ; bat of Goatee t h e efforts of the officials of the City who have the supervision is such eases of large works within its boundary will not be milord until the cans of the fall of the cornice is gars factorily accounted for.

In two cams the poor felkin appear to be seriously injured, though no immediate danger is apprehended. The ors of the man Pearce, however, is deemed by the bouse-surgeos, Mr. Peerless, to be cry wilier.
