REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, Esa., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particular from that laid before them in 1868. She income of the year, it will le seen, amounts t £310,499 18s., and the total charge r ,, £445,077 10s. 9d The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, raised that item to £1,002,974 Lis. 9d., its present amount.

The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or 44 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed ou a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement.

Murray. - working man has now a Parliament in which he can make his voice heard upon this subject. He does not greatly care if the existing relations are continued or not, but he is determined that if they are continued he will not pay or them. He has a shrewd suspicion that those persons who talk so eloquently about the loss of prestige that would follow if England were to declare her colonies independent is prompted by a regard for governor ships and other good posts which are now available for the younger sons of the aristocracy, He does not grudge the holders of these posts their honours and emoluments, but it must clearly be understood that the bestowal of them does not involve any payment on the part of those who do not hold them. Even if the motive which prompts advocates of the present system is pure, it appears upon examination to be based only on sentiment. They have a feeling that there is something grand in the fact that the sun never sets upon the English dominions. They forget that wideness of empire means vulnerability to attack, and that if we should be engaged in a war with any of the great Powers we should be absolutely incapable of defending that empire, and we should inevitably suffer disaster and disgrace. They forget the history of the Roman Empire, and how its very magnitude brought about its fall. A really prudent patriot would never think of sacri ficing safety to prestige, would never think of retain ing colonies which are able to govern themselves, and which we should have to abandon in time of war. It may be argued that the colonists themselves wish to continue the present dependence, and that as both parties desire to do so, there is a strong prinui facie case in favour of it. But if the prospect of governorships and judgeships influences the one party, much more does the prospect of loans and baronetcies influence the other. Mr. S3IITH declares that the recent Canadian loan has had a most deleterious effect upon the morale of Canadian politicians. For in stance, a public man is charged in one of the colonial papers with having accepted a lucrative office on the Intercolonial Railroad as part of the price of an infamous tergiversation. More than this, the very colonies for whose defence we have been taxing British semi-paupers, have imposed heavy import duties upon British goods. If Canada and Australia were independent States, we should before now have made a treaty of commerce with them. Being colonies, we suffer our produce to be taxed, and do not venture to remonstrate. In fact, we are weak and foolish parents, who don't like to give our grown-up children entire freedom, but maintain them in a state of dependence, in which they take any number of liberties with us. Of course there are dependencies which are not yet sufficiently advanced to stand alone. It would be a serious crime if we were to sever our connection with India. It may be questioned if we ever ought to have undertaken the enormous responsibilities which we have assumed towards 200 millions of people. It is certain that in the event of a war with Russia we should find India a source of grievous anxiety and difficulty to us. But this is one of the results of our ambition, and we must meet it in the best way we can. India, how ever, stands almost alone. Nearly all our other dependencies are able to govern themselves, and therefore they should govern themselves, both for their sakes and ours. The true glory of Eng land is to be not the owner of infinitely numerous and extensive territories, but the mother and foundress of free nations, nations ruling themselves, yet speaking her tongue and looking up to her as adult sons and daughtersllook up to a parent who is both loving and wise. oriritirt .,*A tv ,„ tti t HER MAJESTY.

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 8, 1869. During the EMPEROR'S recent illness, it cannot but be remembered, that there was for a long while a sustained panic on the Bourse. Rumours the most sinister were set afloat in Paris—rumours which spread thence their evil influence—like the circles ex panding upon the surface of a tranquil pool of water at the dropping of a pebble—far and wide among the surrounding nations of Europe. The French SOVE REIGN'S health was described as utterly gone: his life was not simply precarious, it was said—his death was imminent and inevitable. It was even intimated at last that he had already "shuffled off this mortal coil," and that, for mere purposes of State, meaningby this through fear of the announcement instantaneously causing a revolutionary outbreak, the fact of his death was, for the time being, suppressed. As for the EMPRESS'S proposed excursion to Corsica, even it was pronounced at one time a thing altogether impractic able. As for her MAJESTY'S journey to the East, its notion was abandoned. Since the time when all this was crowding the papers from day to day, we cannot but think that events have demonstrated, beyond the possibility of any further doubt, the monstrous ab surdity of all these insidious exaggerations. The EM PEROR'S life has not only been spared, but is very well known now, never cnce to have been, during these last few months, even momentarily endangered. He has been suffering, but it was from no mortal disease. He has recovered from his indisposition. He has never once meditated abdication. His little son, the PRINCE IMPERIAL, is still engaged alternately in boyish studies and in boyish pastimes, and is not pre paring prematurely to wear the purple in imperial companionship with his father NAPO LEON 111. The Empress EUGENIE has not only been to Ajaccio and back again, to the delight of the loyal Corsicans, in celebration of the centenary of the birth of the Great NAPOLEON, but her MAJESTY has actually set out now upon her two months' journey through Turkey, and Egypt, and just possibly, before Ler return homewards, through a pilgrimage into the Holy Lands. However this may be in regard to the realisation or non-realisation of her MAJESTY'S long cherished wish to visit Jerusalem and the other divinely consecrated localities of Pales tine, it is at any rate certain that, en route for Constan tinople, Cairo, and Alexandria, she has within these last fel,v,days, been enjoying herself am ong the amphi bious hospitalities and splendours of the Venetians. The mere fact of the EMPRESS'S departure, upon:a tour which will necessitate her absence from France for so protracted a period, is proof positive that the sinister rumours about the EMPEROR'S health have been from first to last marked by the utmost extravagance. Precisely in the same way, we are, for our own part, entirely convinced that the evil suspicions entertained in regard to the sincerity of the EMPEROR'S recent reforms in the Imperial Constitution are com pletely without foundation. Because there have been delays, therefore, it has been argued, the whole scheme of constitutional transformation is, from beginning to end, a mockery. The delays, to begin with, are in themselves sufficiently moderate. The Corps Legislatif will be opened, after all, not next year, but next month. The session will be in augurated before the close of November. A few weeks more and the Legislature will be engaged in that labour of love to the Senators and the national Representatives of perfecting, as far as may be in every way possible, the grand changes upon which the EMPEROR himself was the first to adventure. Personal Government will then cease, and the EM PEROR will thenceforth reign at the head of a Consti tutional, or Ministerial, or Parliamentary, or Re sponsible Government. The pyramidal form of a Democratic Empire, under the Napoleonic Dynasty, will be then once more (as it was, first of all, in the May of 1815) formally inaugurated. It will be inaugurated this time, however, under immeasurably more favourable auspices. Then, in the May of 1815, " the whole earth was rising from the Tanais to the Thames," as the late Lord BROUGHTON impres sively, but in no way extravagantly expressed it, to crush one dauntless mortaI—NAPOLEON. Now, as Lord CLARENDON—fresh from his interview with NAPOLEON 111. at St. Cloud—very recently, and cer tainly very emphatically, declared, all Europe is in a state of profound, and, so far as he can form any opinion upon it, of secure and lasting tranquil lity. A happier juncture than this could not pos sibly occur within which to consolidate the Imperial system upon the broadened basis of a Constitutionally Responsible Government. THE letter which Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH has addressed to the Daily News on the Canadian ques tion comes very opportunely. Written on September 20, in the United States, it has been published during the session of the Social Science Congress. The whole subject of the relations between the colonies and the mother country was very fully discussed at the Congress, and as the preponderance of opinion was largely in favour of main taining the existing connection, it is well to heat what a man of Mr. SMITH'S knowledge and ability has to say on the other side. The first point to notice is that the Sociologists scarcely attempted to show that there was any advantage in the connec tion between England and her dependencies. This was taken for granted, and the whole object of the speakers was to devise some machinery by which the colonies might on the one hand he properly taxed for their own defence, and on the other hand be properly represented in some imperial body which should be entrusted with the duty of levying taxes. It is manifest that if the present connection is to be continued, some changes of the kind suggested by the Duke of MANCHESTER and other speakers ought to be made. It is simply monstrous that the poor of Bethnal-green and Tip perary should pay for defending prosperous Canadian farmers against the United States. This most unfair allotment of burdens and advantages has been allowed to continue f ar t oo l ong . 'Wi t h pauper i sm increasing at its present fearfully rapid rate, the arrangement cannot be endured for another year. As Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH points out, the English SPAIN. MADRID, °Ct. 7.

MARLBORO UGH- S TREET. STABBING A WlFE.—William Waring, a tall, elderly man, living at 26, Berwick-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing his wife, Susan Waring. The prosecutrix said that yesterday, about one o'clock, 1 had a few words with my husband about taking things out of the place. I told him that as he had taken some thing he had better take the rest. He then took up a pic ture to take out, and I knocked it out of his hand, breaking the glass. He then took up a fork to stab me. I ran down stairs, and when I came up he said he would stab me, and he made a plunge at me with a fork and stabbed me in the right breast, and subsequently I gave Lim into custody. Mr. Knox— Has ho actually stabbed you? The Prosecutrix—Yes, and ho has often threatened me. Mr. Knox—Do you feel any effects of the stab? The Prosecutrix—Yos, on the bone. Mr. Knox—Have you seen a doctor ? The Prosecutrii—No. The Prisoner—Who broke the things ? The Prosecutriz-1 did. The Prisoner—What reason bad you to do that 1 You ran against the fork. You are telling a parcel of lies, and are capable of swearing to anything. Mr. Knox— You are doing yourself as much harm as you can in abusing your wife and acting in the violent manner you aro doing. Frederick Pettit, 155 C—On the prosecutrix telling the prisoner that I had come for him, he said, "A good job, too, you old —; I have waited for him an hour. I shan't go unless you give me somo beer;" and the prose cutrix then gave the prisoner 2d. to get him to go down stairs, and on the way to the station ho wanted to go into a public-house. Mr. Knox—Was he drunk? Constable—l think not. Mr. Samuel Bedwell, house surgeon at Middlesex Hos pital, said —I found two marks on the prosecutrix's body corresponding with the prongs of the fork—punctured wounds—and on a dangerous part. Had not the prongs been stopped by one of the ribs the wound would have been of a serious character. Prisoner—She las done for a man what 1 forbid her to do. She has always been in the habit of doing as she thought proper, getting drunk, and I forbid her to go to the place, and she said I should not control her. I told her I could put her in the workhouse and pay for her sup port. She was out with some people drinking yesterday. She has sold me up twice, and I have no control over her. She came like a devil to scratch my face, and the wound with the fork was not deliberately done, I happen ing to have it in my hand. She had broken his head twice with a whip. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. FISHING UP BAIL.--Daniel Dunkin, of Newington street, Bethnal-green, aged 40, and described as a cigar manufacturer, was brought before Mr. Paget from New gate to be bailed. Ile was committed for trial by Mr. Benson for conspiracy, with another named William Ball, to defraud Thomas Morgan, a ship's cook, of £lOO, under the pretence that if he could produce that sum to give him £2OO. The plot was defeated by Captain John Wil liams, shipowner and mariner, Mercers-place, Stepney. Since the committal twelve persons offered as bail for the prisoner have been rejected by Mr. Benson, Mr. Woolrych and Mr. Paget on objections started by Police-sergeant Briden, chief of the detectives in the K division, and among them were sharpers, insolvents, and convicted felons, not worth a farthing, all ready to swear they were worth £5O after all their debts wore paid. One man keep ing a beershop represented to Briden that he had £350 worth of property in his house. Briden valued his fur niture at £3 10s., and his stock and fittings at £lO. There was an execution for rent in the fellow's house at the time. Be was of course, rejected. The prisoner's wife, who has actually spent 00 in "fishing up bail," now offered two persons, one the widow of a publi can, named Smith, in that suspicions locality, Flower an i Dean-streets, Spitalfields, and the other a Mr. Yates, umbrella maker, in Church-street, Shoreditch. Bredin said that ho was satisfied with the solvency of the bail, and he was not aware of anything affecting the character of Mrs. Smith or Mr. Yates. Mrs. Smith's late husband had been convicted under the licensing laws, but she had not. Mr. Paget said as Briden, on whom he could depend, was satisfied, he would accept the bail, and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Yates then entered into sureties in the sum of £5O each to produce Dunkin at the next Old Bailey Sea , sions. The prisoner, at the same time, entered into his own personal recognizance in the sum of £lOO to sur render when called upon. Ball still remains in custody. A TIGER HUNT.—A letter from India, dated Coimbatore, August 22, and written by Mr. George Dun can Irvine, of Ef.M.'s Madras C.S., has been received, giving a very graphic account of a hunt and death of a huge old tiger, who has, for tho last three or four years, been the terror of the surrounding country. The beast had destroyed eight or ten men, and so great had the fear become that a reward had been issued by the Government for its death. Major Norie, Mr. Irvine, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Webster started off in search of the man eater, and:after innumerable dangers and difficulties,:during which the party separated. Shortly after, Mr. Davis and Mr. Irvine came on the track of the tigress, which they followed up and found the brindled lady finish a re past off an unfortunate coolie. Mr. Davis fired first and Mr. Irvine followed his example, when the huge animal was seen to fall over and stretch itself on the ground. After some time the two adranced cautiously, and for safety sake delivered two more shots into the tigeress ; but the first fire had been fatal, as the bullet had pierced its heart, and produced instantaneous death. The destruction of the man-eater had boon the occasion of much rejoicing, and the two vanquishers of the beast thus became entitled to the reward, provided it is proved that this tigress is the one specified, of which there does not appear to be a doubt. REMARKABLE CHARGE AGAINST THE LONDON POLICE. A strange charge of violation of duty was on Thursday preferred at the Marlborough-street Police-court against Inspector Tierney and Sergeant Mackenzie, of the metro politan police force. Mr. Montague Williams appeared to support the charge, which was that the police officers in question had exercised a most offensive, illegal, and unnecessary surveillance of a house in the Haymarket, alleged to be a nighthouse. The particular act charged was that at two o'clock on the morning of September 28th, the complainant being in her room alone, and partly undressed, preparing for a bath, the defendants rushed up stairs, endeavoured by every possible means to obtain an entry into the room, and, be cause this was refused, remained on the stairs till six o'clock. Mr. Williams said complainant, Rose Burton, had been summoned for harbouring prostitutes, and fined £5 all the proceedings taking place under this inspector's direction. The complainant availed herself of the right of appeal, as a similar decision (given by Mr. Knox) had been reversed, and she had appealed to the Middlesex Ses sions, where the appeal was shortly to be heard. After this conviction, Inspector 'Tierney, night after night, visited Rose Burton's house, but could find nothing amiss, and no other summons had been since taken out. But The police would not let her conduct her business in peace. They were in the habit of entering the house and annoying the custornon in various ways by turning their bull's-eyes full on them, taking up the glasses of lemonade and smelling the contents ; these facts, he contended, amounted to an excess of duty, the police being established for the protec tion of the public, and not for the purpose of making themselves obnoxious to any class of persons. These irregularities on the part of the police culminated on the 28th September, on the night of which Inspector Tierney visited the complainant's house. The complainant was at supper with a neighbour when they came, which was just before one o'clock, when the house was cleared and about to be closed. The inspector said he would search the house, and asked where the proprietress was, and on being told she was out, said, " Very well, I will visit the house again." At that moment the complainant, Rose Burton, came in, and had gone upstairs to take her usual bath preparatory to going to bed. A gentleman who was on a visit came in at the same time, and was accom modated with a bed in another part of the house on the third floor. • The complainant's bedroom and bath-room were on the second floor. Tho inspector and the serjeant returned to the house, there being only the barmaid and one of the waiters present, and on being told that the complainant had gone upstairs to bed, said they would search the house. It would be important to know that the bedroom and bath-room had nothing to do with the refreshment department of the house. The two officers went upstairs, knocked at the bath-room door, and began shaking it, demanding admittance. The complainant had partly stripped herself for the bath, and could not open the door. The officers knocked again at the door, called out "Police," flashed their bull's-eyes under the door, and demanded admission into the room. The complainant said, " I cannot let you in ; lam naked." This did not daunt the constables ; on the contrary, they the more strongly insisted on being ad mitted into the room. The complainant would not open the door. The officers went upstairs to the bedroom of the woman servant, knocked and demanded admission. This was at first refused, but on account of the disturb ance they made the door was opened and they searched the room, finding nobody in it but the woman servant and a little boy who slept there. The officers went downstairs to the bath-room again, and from about half-past one o'clock until about half-past six o'clock they continued knocking at the door, and insisting on being let in. This conduct, he asserted, was a violation of duty on their part, for, admitting that the complainant was acting illegally in refusing admission to the police the proper course to adopt was for the police to take out a summons, and on the offence being proved the complainant would have been liable to a penalty of £5. This charge, which was first preferred against Inspector nerney, was supported by the evidence of the complainant and her woman servant. The former, in cross-examina tion, said: " I did not think it right that the police should be admitted either into the bath-room or my private bedroom. The reason why I refused to admit the police was because I did not think they had any right to demand admission ; and this is the matter I want to have settled by the magistrate. I did not think it right for the police to remain four hours outside my door." For the defence Mr. Lewis submitled that the police were authorised to visit licensed houses, and it would bo absurd to say that the police must visit only that particu lar room set out for refreshments, and that they must be debarred from visiting other parts of the house. If this were so, what would be more easy than to have a refreshment room on one floor, and to have another room on an upper ficor called private, but really for refreshment purposes? He con tended that from the basement to the attic the police had a right to visit every part of a refreshment house.— Police Sergeant Mackenzie, the other defendant appeared as a witness on behalf of Inspector Tierney. He said : "We went down stairs to the floor where Mrs. Burton was. We knocked at the door, and some one said, (I think it was Mrs. Burton), It is my bedroom.' The inspector replied ho was certain there were persons in the room, and he would not leave until he saw who they were. I heard more than one voice in the room. In a few minutes Mrs. Burton opened the door, being dressed all but the body of her dress, and on the inspector turning on his light the door was slammed to. She said it was her bed-room, and that we might stop for a fortnight before she would admit us. The inspector said he would wait until he was satisfied as to who was in the room with her. We remained four hours and a half; we placed ourselves on the stairs. We did not speak loud, or laugh. I said it was very cold, and wished I was out of it." Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case was of considerable import ance. Malice against the complainant in going to her bed room had been repudiated, but when he saw the desperate eagerness evinced to convict a woman because she had beer convicted before, he must look very closely into the law to see if there was any authority for the defendants conduct ing themselves as they had done. The bedroom of this woman had been invaded under the belief, as alleged, that somebody was there. The Act of Parliament was exceed ingly wide; the words in 23 Vic., cap. 27, sec. 13, were, "It shall be lawfnl for all constables and officers of police, when and so often as they shall respectively think proper, to enter all houses licensed as refreshment houses, and into and upon the premises belonging thereto." The whole question was whether the coal cellar was to be deemed part of the "premises," and whether the police were em powered by the Act to go every hour into the premises —whether, in fact, they were entitled to go into every room at any time, whether females were in bed or not, to go poking about to find if any one was there. He did not think they were. It was said that the police had been duped by persons being concealed on the premises during their visits, but no evidence had been produced to that effect. The only circumstance the police wanted to discover was whether some person other than the com plainant was in the bath-room or not, and had they made the discovery, it was a question whether such person had not a right to be there. No doubt the complainant had been convicted, and that it was proper for the police to look after the house; but, then, it was rather hard she should be persecuted on that account. He would take time to consider the case, and would give his judgment in a fort night. A. young man having blown his brains out in North Carolina because a young lady named Susan rejected his love, the coroner's jury that " sat on the case " brought in a verdict of " Susancide." At the Court of Common Council cn Thursday the Lord Mayor said he had an important communication tc read to the court, but the nature of it was such that he thought it should be read with closed doors, and he there fore suggested that strangers should be ordered to with draw. Mr. John Symonds protested against hie lordship requiring such a course to be taken whereby the great muni cipal constituency of the City of London would be deprived of any knowledge in the matter. The motion was then put that strangers should withdraw, and was declared to be carried. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. It i 2 believed that the communication has reference to the forth• coming opening of Blackfriars Bridge. Some curious proceedings arc reported from Tame worth in reference to the late election petition. The over• seers and churchwardens of the parish levied a rate of ls. it the pound to defray the expenses of the election petition It was granted by tho Lorough magistrates on the 2d of August, and duo notice given. Nine persons refused to pay it, declaring it to be extortionate, and the case has Leen argued at the special sessions. The magistrates' clerk said be thought the best course would be for the magistrate's not to act in the case, but refer it to ti.e urt of Queen's Bench. This course was adopted, though Mr. Peters, one of the magistrates, was so convinced d the legality of the rate that he left the bench. Two PERSONS STRUCK BY LIGIITNING.—A severe thunderstorm broke over Aspull. At New Springs, a woman, named Ellen Golding, wife of Robert Golding collier, was standing in her house, with her little son, age d 14 years, by her side, when they were both struck by the electric fluid, being found on the ground a few minutes afterwards insensible. Dr. Monk, of Wigan, happened to be passing at the time, and was called in, but though the boy is rapidly recovering from the effects of the shock, the woman is said to be in a dangeNus c*Ation, During the Storm. a horn Wali WO, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times observes that the evidence taken at the coroner's inquest on the victims of the Wood-green murder revealed a most extraordinary story, and, if the depositions of the first day had not been neutralised by the testimony obtained on the second, we might almost have imagined that one of the most frightful tragedies of our time had been perpetrated under a mistake. About the guilt or the motives of the prisoner it was impossible at any time to affect uncertainty, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that all the evidence up to Tuesday evening went to shew that the crime might really have originated in error. N o doubt could bo thought to rest on the motives of the prisoner. He made no secret of his feelings, but sp o k e o f himself s e one who had been wronged and had av en g e d the wrong' He looked upod Maria Death as hi s l aw f u l wife, and called. her by that name—" That's the • fruit of raking another man's wife," said he to a w oman svh e saw him in the very act of killing Boyd. it° now the remarkable point of the st or y i s that his impres' sions in this respect were actually contravened by the whole of the evidence on the first day of the inquiry. 1 - 713 to the close of the first day's proceedings no evidence of concert was forthcoming, and the coroner adjourned the inquiry expressly for the purpose of seeing what further testimony could be obtained. The next morning, howeve r . entirely changed the aspect of the case. It was clearly proved that Boyd and Maria Death had been in conk pany during the greater part, if not the whole, of the time they passed in town. They had gono t ° three public-houses together, as the landlords ° I these taverns came forward to testify, and they re' turned the worse for liquor. The account, too, whi eb had been given by the deceased woman of her journal was found to be untrue, for she brought no pare d home with her, and appeared to have made no purchases. Moreover, it was alleged that she had returned from tory in Boyd's company once before, and that Henson's threate on that occasion caused the terror which she exhibited on Monday. In short, there is no longer room for doubting that Henson's suspicions were well-founded; but that the woman under such circumstances should have received so good a character is certainly most remarkable, and speak s little for the discernment of the witnesses. It remains t _ ° be seen whether the full sentence of the law can be carri ed n 7 out against the prisoner, considering the very aggravate' nature of the provocation which he received. The Standard thinks it is a striking proof of the bushier* like temper of the Church Congress that its earliest si b. tines should be occupied with two questions of pleb practical interest and importance as the supply and training of the clergy and popular recreation. The first of these ig constantly brought before the world in bishops' charg el and ordinary statistics. There is a lack of candidates fo r the ministry, and the standard of general culture which it is possible to extract from them is by no means so high as it was. In 1853 there were u"'" persons admitted to holy orders. In 1862 the ilta nl34 , i f had sunk to 489, and although it had increased to 6" last year, the total is still below that of fifteen years ha° l4 without taking into account the increase of the popul ation in the interim. Two causes seem to have operated in ' Bird couraging young men from entering into the service of the Church.. In spite of Radical objurations the clerical po" fession is shamefully underpaid, and to those who 1 1101° n l . ° special facilities for advancing their prospects the revitir", are few and comparatively insignificant. Wo do not P, u. n . out of sight the higher motives which influence those '"'" seek to bear the Church's commission ; but it is well that 0. world which hungers after practicality should under stand that there is no profession which offers fewer worl inducements than the ministry of the Church ° England. Industry, ability, and perseverance win splendid prizes in other professions or in °in ,: mercial pursuits ; but the man who enters upon t' ministry with no more influential recominencla ti l is very likely to end his days a curate. Possibly the truth of the case was best hit off by the Dean of when ho said that the English clergy are the best educa te t of any in the general sense of the word, but the No r° educated of any as regards theology. The case pro and CO " was well summed up by Mr. Beresford Hope. It would u; a very great misfortune, ho said, if tbo education of tb clergy were cut off from the universities and relegated m theological colleges ; but it would be an equal misfortu ne it were supposed that the universities and private studlit were enough without the supplementary training vill° tho theological colleges now afford. The Telegraph thinks that in appointing Dr. Temple the see of Exeter, the Prime Minister has done en ac which the great public that looks less to theologioa nl r s tems than to men will pronounce to be as judicious as itlo bold. Such is the suspicion or hostility with which ,/ji Head-master of Rugby is viewed by a small but influentin; class of Churchmen, that none but a powerful On would would dare to give him a place in the ranks of the Oise pate. On the other hand, even by men who do not shad his religious creed, he will be regarded as specially 6 : to guide the Church through the troubled watcr 3 which she has plunged. But :t would be futile to 111 0 the fact that Dr. Temple's elevation will prov oke th bitterest criticism from an influential section of the clorgl To set one of the most Liberal divines of the Vogllsof Church in the place which was recently filled by H enry a l Exeter is certainly a bold art. Between the thee logie d, and political position of Dr. Phillpotts on the one haiCb and of Dr. Temple on the other, there is an abyss ' 4l 1 9 nothing can bridge. Mr. Bright once reminded his Ile are o that, after all, the Christians of England bad a con' lob standing ground. That is the fact which the P i giwg people will bear in mind when they hear of Dr. Tern op promotion. They have welcomed the transint,ily of Dr. Wilberforce to the great See of S in 0, chester, not because he is a High Ch ni t but because he is a very able, a very e l°q- ,, t i e and a very energetic prelate. In like manner they too gladly greet the appointment of Dr. Temple, not hn°,l3by he is a Broad Churchman, but because he is cin all6 : the his ability, learning, and energy to be a leade r ore Church in a troubled time. It is essential to her welfare hey that all her great parties should be represente d " r iot bishops, so that the episcopacy may stand above e nelta o pir divisions ; and that end is signally attained by the aPPOI - of so distinguished a High Churchman as pry berforce, and so distinguished a Broad Churchma n 1.- Temple. The Herald, in referring to the discussion on P °l;ai i l l t a a musements at Liverpool, joins Mr. Clarke in ellee ti n cafes Christianmiserablemay wear withoutand tear committing ofthe love of music, concurs with him also in believing t'a through the excessive use of ardent liqpuors.
