Conclude with BORROWED PLUM ES - 519 - N (V / 41 0 f( 1 - 0 S- purpose of educating a limited number of young men about to enter the Cavalry, Guards, and the Line, who, instead of proceeding at once to their regiment, as do the purchasers of direct commissions, spend eighteen months in special train ing. Some are admitted free, and commissions with out purchase are granted to the most proficient. Such is the outline of the present system. Its details look well on paper, but, unfortunately, their practical effect is not satisfactory. The entrance examinations have not been found to work well ; they give too much scope for " cramming," and, in fact, do not permit a boy to come straight from school to either the Woolwich or the Sandhurst College. He must spend some time under the care of a master of the stuffing art before he can fairly meet his compe titors. The subsequent training is not less defective. It is confused, too extensive, and mixes theorywith prac tice. "In one establishment is attempted to be combined an elementary school, a school of high theory, and a school in some degree of practical application, and military discipline. It is a mere high-pressure jumble throughout." Worse still, the moral tone promoted at these establishments, and particularly at Sand hurst, is far from good ; the Commissioners find that low slangy habits prevail, the discipline is bad, and unfortunately much immorality is not wanting to complete the degradation of the instruction at Sand hurst. The Commission has left existing institutions very much as they are. It has overturned none, but has vigorously remodelled all. With regard to the first examination previously to entering either Sandhurst, Woolwich, or proceeding straight to the army, the Commission has decided in favour of a liberal education. It is desirable that a youth should proceed direct from the public school to his technical training, and that he should escape those patent establishments for the manufacture of know ledge which are now so baneful. The Com missioners think it best that no technical element whatever should be involved in this preliminary test. The subjects they prescribe are mathematics, classics, modern languages, &c. —the preference being given only to the first subject. In order to check " cramming " the ingenious device has been adopted—not for the first time—of sub tracting the minimum number of marks from the sum total gained by the candidate. It is now a common practice for students to so " cram " in a subject as to just pass the minimum number. But if this be taken from the sum total gained, it is clear that only great proficiency will enable the candi date to make any effective score. The minimum must be left far behind in order "to pay." Isere, then, are two valuable conclusions : the Commission is opposed to teaching the young military idea to technically shoot at too early an age, and it is not only opposed to cramming, but resolves to stop it as much as possible. A. boy's education up to the age of 16 or 17 will be the same for the army as for any other vocation. Having passed this preliminary, which is not com petitive—everyone fulfilling the conditions being ap proved of, the regular military training comes next. Those cadets who enter the Royal Academy at Woolwich, and qualify for the Artillery or the Engineers, will undergo very much the same training as at present. The Academy has worked well, and its system requires little alteration. No one can enter it without passing a severe preliminary test, and as the Artillery and Engineers are non - purchase corps, every student who perseveres in his work being rewarded by a commission, there is little idleness and less demoralisation than at Sandhurst. The Commission recommend only that more power be given to the head of the Academy, that better facilities for religious duties be provided, and that in general a higher moral tone be sought after. Sand hurst is visited by severe condemnation ; it has, in fact, narrowly escaped abolition. This college, as we have seen, is for the higher instruction of a limited number of candidates for the Guards, Cavalry, and Line. These corps can be entered for the most part only by purchase ; but about eighty commissions are granted free to the most proficient. Now, those cadets who find, soon after their arrival, that they are not likely to be amongst the fortunate eighty, soon relapse into idleness and indifference. There is likewise a body of " Queen's" and " Indian " cadets—sons of deceased officers and civil servants — who are promised a free commission on easy terms, and who relapse into even more confirmed idleness than the incompetents. These two classes affect the whole number of students. To remedy the evil it is proposed .to limit the number of students to the number of free commissions, and thus by giving a reward to every one who fulfils certain conditions, to remove the sediment of idlenesss. It is likewise thought well to increase the power of the resident chief, to give him, in fact, a position similar to that of a master of a public school. The moral tone which is of so much value in education is almost wholly w anting in these military establishments. It is proposed to attach such a salary to the office of Governor as will secure a gentleman of superior attainments. Lastly, to make the reform of the college quite complete, it is laid down that all admissions should be by open competition. The pur chasers of direct commissions have likewise been cared for. These have hitherto passed their preliminary, and have then gone direct to their duties. Provision for these neglected officers is made by the appointment of military "instructors," who, either in particular regiments or par ticular garrisons, are t o superintend the military education of officers on service. Such instruction will be in branches more or less practical, and will be tested by special examinations. Some important modifications in the system of pre paration for the Staff service complete this compre hensive scheme. BRITISII HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE SKIN. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Sits,—l trust that at this season of the year, when the inclemency of the weather renders the condition of the poor more than usually pitiable. You will permit me to plead with your readers on behalf of a charity whose efforts to re lieve one of the most pressing distresses of this great city have already met with considerable suc cess, but whose success would be still greater if the benefits it confers on the sick poor were more gene rally known. As this season of the year the commonest forms of that very common affliction amongst the sick poor, nisease of the skin, are greatly aggravated by exposure to coin and damp, and by the ot her priva tions to which , at this season, the p oor are nrces sarily subjected. The loathsome appe arance of many of the sufferers from this distressing class of diseases too often excites so much disgust that no one is willing to employ them, and even when they chance to find occupation the fear and disgust of them felt by their fellow workmen causes them again to be driven forth. The only hope of such unfortunates is to get quit of their disease, and this blessing, under Divine Providence, has been con f err ed on the majority o f those who ha ve made applica tion to it, by the British Hospital for Dis eases of the Skin in (ire It ";\ larlh o:oug h-street, Regent-street. This institution has already within the last four years relieved over 6,000 poor persons, many of them having travelled from distant prts of the country to seek its I,CIICfit B .

A JAPANESE PROTEST AGAINST CHRISTIANITY. The Indipendance Beige says that the following protest is being extensively circulated in Japan. It purports to be signed by a number of Bonzes, or Buddhist bishops:— " The perverse religion of Jesus;the teacher from Heaven, is a calamity which menaces the empire. It is useless to repeat it once again, and for a long time there have been everywhere protests borne against it. In spite of that the fools who submit themselves to this doctrine are found in no small number among the populace. Furthermore, the men of foreign countries seek in every way to propagate it, and it is difficult to say that they will not resort to violence and force of arms. We have learned that the Mikado if full of anxiety on this subject. We are profoundly afflicted about it, and, with the desire of bringing to bear a perpetual prohibition against this doctrine, we, most unwor. :ly as we are, who have already with Buddhism made the strength of Japan, are determined to live and die with the empire ; and, despite our uselessness, are resolved to serve it at the cost even of lives.

Anything comparable to the absurd anti-climax which has but just now occurred in regard to the Holborn Viaduct, it would be impossible to look for in the history of any great public work undertaken in any other capital of Christendom. The Sovereign publicly inaugurates the Viaduct, which has just been completed—and the very day after that grand flourishing of trumpets over the event, the massive granite pillars upo❑ which the Viaduct has been built are found to have already visibly, appreciably, un deniably, to some extent—it i 3 a matter comparatively of small moment to what extent—collapsed, cracked, and crumbled. We are perfectly aware that it has been officially announced—the announcement is given by us in another portion of our impression of this evening, as conveyed to us by the Town Clerk—we are perfectly aware, we say, that it has been already officially announced that the Viaduct is perfectly safe, and £0 forth. The intimation is so far welcome that it is calculated to reassure the publice wind. And we doubt not, of course, for one single instant, but that the statement is made in perfectly gool faith in every syllable of it. Granting all this, however, there still remains the undeniable and indisputable fact that the granite pillars have cracked, have collapsed, have crumbled and splintered, within twenty-four hours from the date of the Viaduct's inauguratio❑ ! Comparatively slight, all this may be, but at any rate there it is to be seen at this moment by any one who lists. The superincumbent weight, plus the traffic, is evidently, or has evidently been, up to this point, over-much, as contrasted with the solidity either of the supports or of the foundations. That it is so is obvious. Had it not been so, the huge granite pillars of the Viaduct would not, could not by any possibility, have crumbled, collapsed, cracked, and splintered—as, in point of fact, they have, visibly. Builders, engineers, architects, contractors may settle or apportion the blame amongst themselves—but, as for the Viaduct itself, it has beyond all dispute settled itself within a few hours from the date of its being opened. Mull of Ross granite is sufficiently solid, and compact, and durable to resist pressure, if that pressure only be equally distributed, and unitt s the superincumbent structure which that granite sus • tain sis out of all reasonable proportion. The par denial s as to what has occurred are so entirely removed from the reach of contradiction that it is a satisfaction to know there will be a searching investigation insti tuted as to the cause of this astounding miscalcula tion on the part of some one. That there has been a miscalculation somewhere, and of course by some one, we take to be beyond the chance of denial. THE report of the Royal Commission on Military Education chews that even the army—that most inert of institutions —has not escaped the reforming contagion of the age. This. elaborate document is interesting both as a broad and enlightened scheme of training for our future defenders, and as a useful contribution to the general problem of education. The existing system of military instruction was long ago found wanting ; the work of the Commission was not so much to discover defects as to devise remedies, and this it has done without stint or prejudice The plan now at work has proved bad both in respect of the conditions upon which the aspirant could gain admission to the army, and in respect of his training and promotion after the preliminary step had been passed. At present a young man may become an army officer in various ways. Ile may rise from the ranks—a performance which is not very common, and which involves no special education. He may purchase a direct commission, to obtain which he must pass one examination in fi Q , I subjects, chosen from mathematics, classics, and science. These candidates at once commence learning their military duties in the regiments or garrisons. But for a certain p ro p or ti on o f aspirants a higher training is provideo. All candidates for admission to the A I . 'l a half—after passingcry or Engineer C or p s mus t spen d t wo years - an d a preliminary test—at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, where they receive a special education, the most proficien beaming engineers if they choose, the less advance receiving artillery commissions. Lastly, the Royal Military College at Sandhurst is maintained f o r the' THE BISHOP OF OXFORD'S CHARGE, The Bishop of Oxford on Thursday delivered his farewell charge to the clergy of his diocese, in the Cathedral Church of Oxford. The attendance both of clergy and laity was very large. His lordship said it had always appeared to him to be the duty of a Bishop to throw himself heartily into the labours of the clergy and laity in all the schools of thought within the Church. When differences of faith did exist he put in no plea, and asked for them no toleration; but he maintained that, putting all questions of master truths wholly aside, there was large room for difference of tone and feeling. Instead of divergency in our Church being an evil, he held that it was a sign of life, and he would no more make every voice in a diocese speak in the same tone than he would abolish the music of nature by requiring the same note from every songster. There were, however, limits to such differences. He had the blessing of seeing amongst his warmest friends the representatives of every school of thought. He could not endure to be the Bishop of a party when God's providence had called him to be the Bishop of a diocese. To a certain extent, the rule of liberty as to thought must be extended to the rule of observance. Feeling that strongly, few things had grieved him more than the recent contro versy in the Church respecting dresses and externals. With the mighty work we have to do—with the growing masses on every side, it was heartbreaking to see the zeal of earnest spirits diverted from their true mission, and see it miserably wasted on unmeaning contests as to the cut of a surplice or the colour of a stole. In such a strife both sides appeared to him - to be in the wrong, because both exalted things comparatively indifferent into an utterly endue importance. It was hard to understand religion which consisted on one side in refusing to wear a surplice, and on the other in convulsing a parish by introducing into its servicas the startling novelty of a gorgeous vest ment. He hail always held in these mere outward matters, that provided the law was not infringed, nor a weak brother offended, it would be wrong to force on others his own disinclination to change. Therefore, when in a rising town or parish there had been a correspond ing progress of ritual, he had always felt that instead of discouraging it, it was better to guide and moderate rather than oppose its development. He must be allowed to say that there might be changes involving great doctrinal questions. There was ono change which he viewed with great apprehension, and that was the ten dency manifested in certain quarters to change the idea of the Holy Eucharist from a communion of the faithful into a function cf the celebrating priest. In his most mature judgment, the adopqon of the views and the practice of another Church was absolutely subversive of that which had been received amongst ourselves. The presence of the people and the actual communion were bound indissolubly together. The solitary Mass of Rome was so absolutely unwarranted a deviation, that we wore not certain that it did not alto gether overthrow the very nature of the Sacrament. The practice was most intimately connected, both as to cause and consequence, with the greatest practical corruptions of the Papal Communion. Whatever tended to its intro duction amongst ourselves appeared to him to threaten, the existence of our own religious system. Such ten dencies were seen in the attempt to make the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at our principal Sunday morning services an impressive, if not gorgeous display, while the congregation remained as mere spectators, and did not partake of the Sacrament. It had always been and still remained the special charge of the English Church to re sist these insidious assaults, and, Cod helping her, sh y would not resist in vain. They ought earnestly to resis all early movements towards item° as she now existed first, because the accomplishment of such a movement would mest certainly involve the loss of that blessed heri tage of the truth of God which cf His great mercy, thee:ugh the fires of inertyrdc,m and the anguish of whole generations of their fathers had been given to them ; and nee - t, h( cause any degree or semblance of success in tha: matter did more than anything besides to help on, by the check which it gave to long-established habits of belief, the progress of that flood of lawless infidelity which reve lation shelved them was to be the plague of the last day. To his brethren of the clergy and his brethren of the laity he bade them in Christ's name farewell in the Lord. Canon Dale, preferring his canonry, worth £l,OOO h year, to the Deanery of Ely, worth £950, many perscra expect that the vacant deanery will be offered to ProfessuP Maurice. The Sheriff's warrant for the execution of the convict Joseph Walsh, who was convicted of the Deptford murder, was received at the county gaol at Maidstone on Tuesday, and ICJ onday next has been fixed for the carrying out of the sentence. Mr. Alderman Blackburn was elected on Tuesday mayor of Leeds, but he declined to serve and tendered s cheque in payment of the £lOO penalty. The town clerk, however, explained that his age exempted him without this payment, and the alderman than banded over the amount to the Infirmary. A line in one of Moore's songs runs thus : "Our couch shall be roses, bespangled with dew." To which a sensible girl replied : " 'Twould give me the rheumatiz, and so it would you." MURDER OF A FARMER IN LANCASHIRE.—The Warrington Guardian reports tho murder of Samuel Greavo, a farmer, of Burton-wood, near Warrington, under somewhat mysterious circumstances. He was shot dead in his milk-cart on Thursday morning. The murder is sup posed to have been committed by poachers. A certain mountebank announced to a large audience that, at the next entertainment, ho would show to every man present what was in his heart. The time came, and the concourse was immense. All waited with deathlike silence. He stood up, and in a single sentence redeemed his pledge—" You all wish to buy cheap and to sell dear." MAKING A FORTUNE BY ANNOYING ONE'S NEIGHBOUR.—There is a story told of a man who realised a handsome independence by the simple expedient of making himself a nuisance to his neighbours. "Eyesore Jack," as he was called, used to buy houses in "genteel" localities, and decorate the outsides, from chimney-pots to area-railings, in the wildest and most fantastic manner. Sometimes he would have broad black stripes and white ground, and call his residence, so dis figured, " Zebra Villa ;" at others, he would cover the whole front with rude sketches, bearing a remote analogy to goats, scorpions, scales, and twin babies, in which case largo straggling letters, of an eccentric pattern, informed the world that " Zodiac Hall " was before them, and that it would be necessary to "ring twice "to procure an interview with the " O'Gemini " who lived within. Of course the people round about generally began by thinking him mad, and ended by inducing their respective landlords to buy up John's little property ; it was found intolerable to be for ever reminded that they lived so many doors from " Eyesore Jack's place." A CRUEL—A CRIMINAL—CASE OF C ARE LE SS NESS.—"James Monteith" writes to the Daily News:— " Every family, and all people interested in children, will read with great interest and with advantage the letter of Dr. John Simon on "Precautions against Scarlatina," which appears in your journal of this morning; cml I would beg to supplement that gentleman's letter by reference to a most criminal neglect, if not something worse, on the part of the parents of a child roe cling within eight cs of London. The child was a day scholar at an cs for young girls, where there were about fifteen boarders and fifteen day ;Thelon. The child wa3 kept at home for a week " with a sore throat end a slight eruption on the skin." The parents, though in good c:rcumstanecs, did not call in a physician, but got some medie:ne from an apothecary, and after a week sent the child back to school while " the flakes and grains of dry A.in were shedding," without any further notice than that `the child had had a cold and sore throat, but was now quite well.' lue same night two of the little boarders were seized with scarlatina, the establishment is broken up, ono of the little ones died on Tuesday last within three days of the attack; two more were in great danger on Thursday, and I fear with little hop e of their recovery,ami we know not yet to what extent the criminal act of this child's uarents may lead." THE MORDA UNT DIVORCE CASE. This cause ccWrd, in which Sir Charles Mordaunt, of Walton Hall, Warwickshire, seeks for a divorce from his wife, the co-respondents being Sir Frederick Johnstone and Viscount Cole, will not be tried this term. The question at —resent in issue is the sanity of the lady—on which, of course, rests the point whether she can file her answer to the petition—and the reason it is deferred is the state of the special jury list, there being so many cases set down before the Blor daunt case that there will not be time to try it. AN EXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE. Lord Penzance has had before him the cause of "Wilton and another v. Jamieson." The plaintiffs, as executors of the late Dr. Stevens, of Great Malvern, a medical gentleman, who died at the advanced age of 82 years, propounds the will, which gives the major portion of the property to a great nephew of the decezed, named Garrick. The defendant, who stands in precisely the same relationship to the testator, seeks to set aside the will on the ground of the incapacity of the deceased, and also alleged that certain provisions in it were obtained by influence and fraud. The testator was well known, not only in this country but abroad, as having been eminently successful in his treatment of cholera and choleraic diseases. In 1832,when the epidemic was very rife in this country,Dr. Stevens attended Coldbath-fields Prison, and was compli mented by the magistrates on the able manner in which he had performed his duties, and he also received a testi monial from the Danish Government.ln early lif e the testator was on the most intimate 1 erms with a Mrs. Curzon, who kept a boarding house, and at that person's death he pro mised to see that her daughters never wanted. Just before its death the Garricks visited Dr. Stevens, and he soon after executed the last of the general wills, and it was alleged :.hat there had been un due influence used. For the plaintiff it was contended that the deceased was quite sane though on one occasion he had a paralytic fit, which took away his reasoning faculties for a very short time, and he also held peculiar notions as to the seat of the soul. A whole mass of evidence is being called. The lawyer who executed the will proved that his client was perfectly sane, and denied having spoken to the Garricks or Curzons on the subject. Miss Curzon believed that prior to 1867 the deceased in all his wills left money to the de fendant; but he was annoyed at a marriage that had taken place. This witness believed that after the paralytic stroke the deceased was better in mind, as before that period the doctors had disagreed as to some of his theories on the blood. Never refused to let the friends of the deceased see the deceased, except at his request.—Mr. Albert Brown, manager of the Worcester Old Bank at Malvern, said the deceased transacted his business with him, and witness believed him to be competent to transact his pecuniary affairs. Did not think that after August 1864, the testator did not seem as clear as before. After hearing further evidence of a like character, Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C. for the defendants, intimated that he considered it useless to fight the case further, and Lord Penzance pronounced for the will. THE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE THISTLE, The inquiry into the causes of the recent boiler explo sion at Sheerness, by which eleven persons lost their lives, was concluded on Thursday. Tho Chief Inspector of ➢lachinery in the Royal Navy (Mr. Williamson) stated his belief that the explosion was caused by the boiler being short of water, "whether from the feed cock not being sufficiently open or from excessive priming I am unable to say." He had examined, the feed-cock and found it was one degree open. This was sufficient, because the other two boilers which were not at all injured were the same. These boilers, no doubt, were well supplied with water. The following conversation took place as to who was responsible : The Coroner—Have you heard either before or since this accident that there was a deficiency of water in the boilers ? Mr. Williamson : No; I have heard nothing of the kind. The boilers are supplied with gauges to show how much water there is in them. The engineer can generally tell whether the boilers are priming by a rapid movement up and down, or a disturbance of water in the gauge water glass, which is seen from the stokehole. Should this be observed, the engineer ought to further open the feed cock, and put more water in, with a view to reducing the pressure of steam. The Coroner : Has the engineer in charge of the engines below the power of increasing or diminishing the pressure at his pleasure ? Witness : He can decrease the pressure by lifting the valve, but he has no power of increasing the pressure in the engine room. The Coroner : Supposing a shortness of water or priming to arise, is it not indicated to those in the stokehole ? Is it possible to occur without the engineer having an inti mation of it? Witness: I should say it is quite impossible for him not :0 know it, The Coroner : Do you think that the feed-pipe being only a quarter open was sufficient under the circum stances ? Witness : No, I do not think it was ; but I am not pre pared to say so definitely. The next evidence taken was as to the make of the boilers. On that point Mr. l3offey, foreman of boiler makers at the steam engine factory, Portsmouth, said : In 1867 he had an order for seven sets of boilers, and those of the Thistle were amongst them. They were high pressure, made under his own superintendence. The plates for the shell were supplied by contract by Messrs. Moser and Son, those for the furnaces by Messrs Cooper, of the best Yorkshire iron; the tubes were supplied by Russell and Son. The boilers were 16ft. and #an in. long, the tubes Eft. and z an in. On the completion of the boilers they were subjected to hydraulic pressure to the extent of 1801bs. to the square inch. He had examined the ruptured boiler—the midship boiler—since the acci dent. One of the furnaces had bulged downward 14 inches, and there was a fracture. The consequence of this would be an escape of steam and water, passing through the stoke hole into the engine-room. The furnace gave way in con sequence of the undue pressure from the boiler. The other boilers of the same set had been long in actual use. The boilers were made of the best materials, and every thing was in its place. Shortness of water caused the frac ture, and nothing else. Mr. Aveling, of Rochester, an engine manufacturer, said he had never seen better iron or better workmanship than in the ruptured boiler of the Thistle. Indeed it was in ;ill respects better than boilers ordinarily produced by commercial firms "at present prices." The boiler was 2qual to a pressure of even 2001bs. His opinion was that the accident was caused by what was known as " racing," that was to say, getting everything possible out of the ship. . Mr. Murray, surveyor of factories and consulting engi neer to the Admiralty, concurred in the evidence which ascribed the accident to shortness of water. Mr. Fletcher, civil engineer, connected with the Steam Users Association for the Prevention of Boiler Explosions, said he came to the conclusion that the explosion did not result from improper or excessive pressure of steam, nor from any defect in the original construction of the boiler, nor from any defect in its condition at the moment of fracture. It arose solely from the overheating of the furnace crowns, in ~ .nsequence of which the plates com posing them lost their strength, and being unable to resist the pressure of steam, bulged down at the ordinary work ing pressure, the left hand one rending transversely for a length of about 18 inches, and 21 inches at the widest part, thus forming an opening through which the steam and hot water rushed out of the boiler, and playing into the engine-room, scalded to death the men engaged tb crein. The jury returned the following verdict, after con sulting an hour and a half :—" The jury are of opinion that William Roberts, and the other deceased persons named in the inquest, met their deaths on the 3rd and 4th November instant, by an accident on board her Majesty's gunboat Thistle, caused by the escape of steam from the fracture of the crown of the furnace of a steam boiler resulting from o ver h ea ti ng occ a s i on ed by a defi ciency of water; but that there is no evidence to chew the cause of such deficiency. The jury are also of opinion that the boiler in question was " well constructed and of proper materials." The foreman said that the jury also begged to recommend the Admiralty to provide hos pital accommodation at Sheerness in case of accident, so that it should not be nect:ssary to send men to Chatham. They also hoped that the Admiralty would be as liberal to the widows and children of the sufferers as if they had lost their relatives in war. the tickets, a notice w as p osted over the door, "No gentle- At a negro ball, in l ieu of " Not transferrable " on man admitted unless he comes hisself."
