VI: Lrt t , 05,-, ~--,.. 4tit „6,,,, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 27, 1869 IT will be well not to attach too much importance to the election of the Fenian convict, O'DoNovAN Rossa, as member of Parliament for Tipperary. It is, indeed, always easy to explain away the significance of a disconcerting event ; but in this case there are some hard facts which militate against the conclusion that the return of the rebel is in good faith the choice of the Tipperary constituency. Never since 1838 has the total number of votes recorded been so small. Not one-fourth of the electors came to the poll. Less than one-eighth voted for the Fenian. A cand: date who secures only this smallproportion of suppor can hardly be deemed a representative ; and as the sup porters of O'Boxo VAN Ro SSA had every encouragement to present themselves, it is only reasonable to presume that at least some of the remainder would have pre ferred Mr. HERON, and that the Fenian's majority of 130 was accumulated through terrorism. In the town of Tipperary, Ross: v scored 497 votes against only ten given to Mr. HERON; but in Nenagh the latter had the support of 609 electors, whilst only 39 Fenian sympathisers could be found. Such fluctuations can he explained only by what undoubtedly was the fact ; in some places Fenian mobs held undieputedsway,and ab solutely prevented a fair election. The issue, therefore, does not prove that a majority of the Tipperary voters are prepared to return a Fenian to Parlia ment. Nor can the choice of ROSSA have any prac tical effect; for if the votes were really given in favour of the man who is now in Portland Gaol, his election is null and void and if, as is said, they were given to another person of the same name, nephew to the convict, the gross intimidation practised will equally invalidate the result. But this discouraging occurrence has a grave sig nificance which it would be idle to overlook. Though it would be unfair to regard ROSSA'S majority as a representative vote, it would be unwise to ignore the fact that 1,131 county electors reject an educated Catholic gentleman, and a strong popular sympa thiser, for a man whose only recommendation is his treason. These eleven hundred disaffected voters, too, are so strongly supported by the canaille of the county that opposite views are kept down by fear. Nor does Tipperary stand alone in this respect ? Throughout the South there is, beyond town. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1869. doubt, a large disaffected class, whom no concession ' seems to satisfy, and who are not confined wholly to the poorest grade of the population. In short, the inauguration of the " Justice to Ireland" era has not been the means of preventing another out break of Fenianism, less overt than the last, but apparently marked by hostility no less bitter. It is as the representative of the general feeling throughout the southern counties, that this Tipperary contest is most melancholy to contemplate. As an outward and visible sign of widespread disaffection and treason, there is nothing to extenuate this attempt to send an ignorant convict to the British Legislature. It only remains for us to meet this grave difficulty patiently and firmly. The work of Reform must be carried on, because justice cannot fail to tell in the end, and more because it is England's duty, whether it produce the desired effect or not. The land bill must not go beyond the limit of equity, because the agitators call for extreme remedies; but neither, on the other hand, must it fall short of the mark. The 'limes suggests that the abolition of the Establishment was only a half measure, that it has proved less fruitful than was expected simply because the Irish Church Act was not all that justice demanded, that sectarian prejudices inter fered, and that the landlords secured most of the Church temporalities, whereas the Catho lic clergy ought to have had their just share. "Reasons of the highest policy, the authority of an unbroken succession of statesmen, respect for the wishes of the Irish people, concurred in enforcing the recommendation that part of the temporalities of the Establishment should be appropriated to grants of residences and glebes to the priests of the national faith." It may not be too late to remedy this, or any other injustice which can be proved to exist. But whilst abuses are redressed, crime must be put down without flinching. There is a limit beyond which forbearance merges into feebleness, and this limit seems to have been at length reached. It is no crime to elect a Fonianto the House of Commons. That event is merely an aggravated symptom of a treason epidemic, which shews itself in the form of seditious exhortations by newspapers, and apologies for assassination from popular leaders such as the Rev. Mr. RYAN. The Government, with the consent of the English people, has long held back. But it is now unmistakeably challenged to interfere. THE doings of the unenviably famous St. Pancras Guardians raise several questions of more than parochial importance. The indifference to human suffering, the positive and negative cruelty practised by those officials, are, indeed, heinous ; but the cal lousness displayed by these men, both in respect of human feeling and the pressure of public opinion, is scarcely to be explained by the assumption that the ratepayers of St. Pancras have by accident got together an exceptionally hard-hearted Board. For the deeds of the guardians there is no excuse, but there is good reason to think that the work house horrors which have again come before public notice aro indirectly due to the system on which poor relief is administered. The St. Pancras story, in short, is another plea for a redistri bution of local burdens. The present theory on which the poor rate is administered—that each separate parish should bear the burden of its own poor decidedly works badly in London, and to a smaller extent in other great towns. The districts in which pauperism is most abundant are always the least able to support it. Where there is most wealth the poor-rate is lowest. It is true also that much of the pauperism collected in one region properly belongs to another. The working man who resides in a poor neighbourhood often carries on his business in a wealthier parish ; but should he fall upon the rates, it is the locality in which he dwells, not that in which he works, which must sup port him. This inequality is undoubtedly an irritating and a sore . burden, calculated, by a sense of injustice, to faster indifference, and ultimately cruelty. The ratepayers become tempted to resort to economical expedients, the consequences of which they never calculate. The rates are so severe that the first consideration of those who bear them is to lighten the load, no matter at what cost. A more equal distribution of parish burdens would iforiMpakarffg disadvantage. It is true that local functionaries might be induced to rush from cruel parsimony to the other extreme of baneful extravagance. But the answer is obvious. The Poor-law Board has now to exercise supervision over guardians for the protection of paupers ; it would be at least as easy to supervise them for the protection of the ratepayers. If the central authority can prevent cruelty, it can prevent waste of money. The present system must not go on. The treatment of our poor is both a scandal and a public injury—it pre vents the large sums yearly raised for the benefit of the destitute from being employed to the best advantage. NAVAL AND 7ELLIGENCI. Yesterday the troops composing the Aldershott Division, under the command of Lieut.-General Sir James Scarlett, were actively exercised in various ways. Shortly before ten o'clock the 2d Infantry Brigade, under the command of Major-General J. G. Carey, C. 8., formed up in complete marching, order on the brigade parade, Centre Block, Perma nent Barracks, and soon afterwards proceeded on route-marching duty, taking the direction of Farn- ham. After marching about two miles beyond that town on the Alton-road, they returned to quarters, at which they arrived at half-past one o'clock, having executed a march of about ten miles. The brigade was composed of the 2d Battalion I;_',Cl (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, under the com- wand of Col. Maunsell, the 4th Battalion 60th Royal Rifles, under Col. R. B. Hawley, the 67th Regiment, under Major Miller, and the 4th Bat- talion Rifle Brigade, under Col. F. R. Elrington. At half-past nine o'clock the 3d Infantry Brigade, under the command of Col. Glyn (2d Battalion Rifle Brigade), Acting-Brigadier, and composed of ,he 2d Battahou 3d Buffs, under Lieut.-Col. C. K. Pearson ; the 35th Regiment, under Col. Atkinson ; and the 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, under Colonel Walker, marched out independently—the Buffs and the Rifles over the Farnborough-road, and the 35th Regiment by way of the North Camp Station—to Frimley, where they threw out outlying pickets. They returned to quarters shortly after 1 o'clock. The Ist Infantry Brigade formed up in march- ing order in line of contiguous columns on the brigade parade, South Camp, about the same time as the other two brigades. It was under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel J. 11. Cooper, 7th Royal Fusiliers, Acting Brigadier, and was com posed of the 2d Battalion Royal Fusiliers, under Major Waller ; Ist Battalion 12th Regiment, under Major M‘Kay ; 2d Battalion 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, under Colonel the Hon. S. Mostyn; and the 42d Highlander; under 'Major Macpherson. At ten o'clock the brigade marched to the Long Valley, where it was exercised in various field movements, While the movements were in progress the Artillery division, consisting of A battery C Brigade, B bat tery B Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, and C and G batteries of the 11th Brigade Royal Artillery, was fully exercised. The Cavalry Brigade, consisting of the 7th Dragoon Guards and the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, also marched out, and took up a line of outposts. The weather was peculiarly favourable for the march and the manoeuvres of the different branches of the service. The general Court-martial sitting at the Marine Barracks, Chatham, for the trial of Lieutenant George Frederick Henry Rule, of the Chatham Division of Royal Marines, on a most serious charge, sat for the fifth time yesterday, and con cluded its proceedings for the present. The Deputy- Judge-Advocate, Captain Blake, Royal Marines, barrister-at-law, summed up the whole case. His address was listened to with profound attention by the Court. He said the Court had been called together to try a charge of scandalous conduct against an officer, and according to the G7th Article of War, if such a charge were proved against an officer, the penalty was for him to be cashiered. In his defence the prisoner had urged that there was no fraudulent intention ; but it re mained for them to decide whether the evidence before them was sufficient to prove the fraudulent appropriation of the money to his own use, and whether the charge of scandalous conduct had been maintained. The principal witnesses were Capt. Morris and Private Rowsell, whose evidence he re viewed. He referred to a letter sent by Lieutenant Rule to Colonel Clavell on the 24th of October, in which he stated that he was " urgently pressed for money at the time" he used it, consequent on bring ing home a sick wife and child from India, and offering to resign his commission. The prisoner had objected to that letter being read, but he (Cap tain Blake) was of opinion that it should be ad mitted as evidence. Captain Blake then read the letter, and said it rested with the Court to decide whether Lieutenant Rule had been influenced by anything said to him to write that letter, after having received the usual caution that anything he wrote might be used against him, and whether the contents of that letter were true or false. It was his painful duty to give his opinion in this case, which would be most destructive to the case set up in the defence. It was urged in defence that the prisoner had no fraudulent intention in appropriat int, the lIIDEIey to his own use. As to irtontinn the ‘4% 13 must clear, tnat it presumes tliat a man in tends the natural consequences of his actions ; but it was for then) to decide whether there was any fraudulent intention in Lieutenant Rule using the money, which bad been intrusted to him for in vestment, to pay a debt of his own, and thus de priving the owner of the use of it for several weeks. The room was cleared in order that the Court might consider their verdict. What the finding of the Court is will not be known until it has been ap proved by the Queen. The iron screw steam troopship Tamar, 2, arrived yesterday (Friday) in Plymouth Sound. She conveyed the 29th Regiment from Quebec to Hali fax, where she arrived on the 3d of November, and left again on the 12th. In the early part of the passage strong north-west winds were ex perienced, and strong south-west winds in the Channel. The Tamar brings six naval invalids. She will probably go into Hamoaze to have defects made good. On the passage out, when proceeding up the Gulf of St. Lawrence, she struck on a sun ken rock, which damaged her stern, and there is a beam across the after rails of the poop from which three chains are suspended on each side, for the purpose, apparently, of sustaining the after part of the keel. Mr. Robert Wilson, a leading man of the ship wrights in Chatham dockyard, died in Melville Hospital, soon after two o'clock yesterday after noon, from a fearful accident which befel him on Tuesday morning. While at work on board the Sultan, iron ship, in No. 2 dock, he by some means fell from one deck to another. Though the fall was but seven feet, he fractured his skull, and sus tabled a concussion of the brain. He was taken up unconscious, he never again became sensible, and his death was expected from the first. Yesterday George White, remanded from the previous Friday, on a charge of attempting to de fraud the Government of £1 125., bounty money, by producing a false discharge, and enrolling him self twice in the Army Reserve force, was placed at the bar of the Woolwich Police-court, before Mr. Maude. The War-office, however, declined to prosecute, and the prisoner was discharged. Faulk ner, who was committ e d for trial last we ek, has been sentenced to si x m onths' imprisonment with hard labour. The 14th Brigade Royal Artillery, on passage home from India, will arrive at Portsmouth ix the Serapis on or about the 23d of next month. On disembarking they will leave by train for Wool wich, where they will be stationed. Increased military precautions have during the last few days been taken at St. Mary's Convict Prison, adjoining the dockyard extension works at of the prison con tainin g Chatham, all the officials showing the ut most vigilance, in con seq uence a remarkable con v i c t—O'D ono van Rossa, the Fenian offender, who has j us t b een e lected as member for Tipperary. He has been for some time at this prison. The extra precautions are taken with a view to frustrate any desperate attempt to -rescue Rossa. The military guard at the prison, instead of being removed as usual in the afternoon, after the convicts have done work on the islandand have returned to the prison, is now maintained during the night. NEW NATIONAL. STANDARD TII EATR E.—OfTen bath's operatic extravaganza, "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein," the English version of which is now given at this theatre by Mr. J. Russell's Covent-garden operatic company, is received with immense favour by the audi ences at the east-end of London. Since the opera was pro duced a few weeks ago, and during the temporary indis position of Miss Julia Mathews, the part of the GI and Duchess has been interpreted by Miss Emily Soldene.

John Hodgson, M.A., Secretary to the Clergy Mutual Life Assurance Society, has just issued a pamphlet entitled, " Hints to the Clergy in respect to Life Assurance," which the educated and intelligent class to which it is addressed would do well to deeply consider with a view to its per sonal application. The work sets out with a re markable array of facts, all showing the advantage, we might almost say the necessity, for life assur ance amongst the clergy, and as it has been shown most unmistakeably that the duration of life amongst clergymen, as a class, is longer than amongst the population generally, the ques tion that naturally arises is, where is there an office where this peculiarity is taken into consideration, and a corresponding reduc tion made in the terms of assurance ? To that question Mr. Hodgson gives the best answer by referring the inquirer to the office of the Clergy Mutual. There the clergyman will find the peculiarities of his position have been fully con sidered and provided for, and the great success that at present attaches to its operation is a strong proof that its advantages are highly appreciated and approved of by the clergy of the United King dom. We commend a perusal of the pamphlet to the clergy generally, feeling certain that whet* doubts exists as to the duty of life assurance, the arguments of Mr. Hodgson will fully and satisfac torily settle the question. MUSICAL MEMS. (From the Musical Standard.) Ferdinand hillier, of Cologne, has received an invitation to go to St. Petersburg to direct some of his grand orchestral works. A special commission in Vienna is making a general tour of inspection of theatres, for the pur pose of suggesting precautions against future disas ters by fire. It is said that Listz came to Paris at the age of 16 to study at the Conservatoire there. Cherubini, however, who had an antipathy to him, refused him admission on the ground of his being a foreigner. Rossini's remains have been removed from the sepulchre of Count Pepoli and placed in a new tomb constructed of stone in the cemetery of Pere- Lachaise, Paris. The inscription outside simply bears in letters of gold the name Rossini. It has been stated that an English nobleman is ready to spend the p incely sum of £130,000 in building another opera house! In mitigation of so palpable a waste of money, it is averred that " national opera" would benefit thereby. Whether there be not other more important national objects which it would redound to the honour of such a liberal donor to support is not my province to de termine ; but no one can avoid the thought.

The Rhine Ga,:dte says:—" The iron bridge yet unfi nished, which the Railway Company of Berg was con structing across the Rhine, has fallen, in consequence of a laden vessel having come into collision with the scaf folding of the construction. About forty workmen have been killed and twenty wounded in this catastrophe. This accident will retard for six months the completion of the bridge." RATES OF FREIGHT AND CHARTER. (From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette) The tonnage loading on the berth for India, China, and the Cape of Good Hope amounts to 53,321 tons, and for Australia and New Zealand to 32,711 tons. The opening of the Suez Canal has, of course, been the subject of much comment amongst those engaged in the shipping trade during the past week, and various con jectures have been made as to the degree of success likely to attend it, and as to the extent to which it will revolu tionise the trade with India and the East. The laying open this new route has unsettled berth freights in that direction, but they are firmer upon the whole. The inquiry outwards for coal is, if anything, somewhat more active, but rates remain the same as last quoted. Homeward, charterers have in the present state of uncer tainty all but suspended their operations for the present, and rates are, consequently, for the most part nominal. Coal rates from Australia exhibit an upward tendency, but there is not much doing. There are a good many quotations for iron for next month's shipment to the United States, but at the moment the trade is somewhat dull. Steam tonnage is in some request for cotton from the Southern ports, and id. per lb is being paid from New Orleans. Coal business to the West Indies is the reverse of ' animated. A few fresh orders, however, are in the market for Tyne loading. Homeward chartering is slack, there being but languid demand from most of the Windward Islands, the greater proportion of the early orders being already satisfied. Brazil coal freights are easy, and the same is the case with those to the River Plate. There are few charters offering homewards. From the Chinchas and neighbouring islands 6.15. per ton guano is offered to Antwerp, and 625. 6d. to U. K., clearing at Payta, 655. at Callao. There is little also from the West Coast. Coal freights to the Mediterranean remain firm, but the transactions recorded are not many. Most of the spring wheat orders from the Black Sea are filled, and there is not much to be provided for till June. Steamers are securing pretty good rates for oats from the further ports in the Baltic. THE DUKE OF ARGYLL ON MINISTE- RIAL DEPRESSION. The banquet to the King of the Belgians, given on Thursday evening by the Lord Mayor of London, was a brilliant affair. The King's speech, did not rise above the general' level of congratulatory speeches. The Duke of Argyll, however, made one or two noticeable remarks. The Lord Mayor, in pro posing the toast of her Majesty's Ministers, referred to the " taunts" that Mr. Gladstone was depressed at the last banquet. He referred that state of mind to his conscientiousness. The Duke of Argyll, in reply, would not accept the Lord Mayor's kindly excuse for Ministerial depression. He denied that Ministers were depressed. I believe (his Grace observed) that you have mistaken the language of my right hon. friend. I believe it to be an entire mistake that he is labouring or that we are labouring under any depression of spirit whatever. We feel the weight, we feel the responsibility of the position in which we are placed. We feel the difficulty of some of the questions with which we are are called to deal. But wehave faith in our countrymen, and we have faith in the prin ciples which it is our duty to maintain. Then, passing to the occasion of the gathering, the Duke said: "I trust I may be allowed in a few words to express the sense of the Government of the many near and dear claims which the illustrious sovereign now present has upon our affec tionate regard. No British Minister can fail to know and to feel how much depends on the character of the sovereign and on the people, for the success of a constitutional monarchy. As I believe it to be the highest and the happiess form of human government, so I also do believe it to be the form which requires a very high stan dard of virtue both in the Sovereign and in the people; and when these virtues fail, the forms of constitutional government may become, and they do often become, the mere cloak of license, and the mere im munity for crime." The Duke continued : I believe his Majesty the King of the Belgians to be the only European Sovereign who has visited the British Empire in India. He has visited it with that high intel ligence which belongs to him and to his race, and I believe he knows more of our Indian Empire than a vast majority of the English people; and from words, gracious words, which fell from him yesterday, when ho did me the honour of visiting the voice, i neuseve nis Majesty would bear his testi mony to the high duty which England, with all her short comings and faults, is endeavouring to perform in advancing tho happiness of so many millions of the human race. And lam sure that his Majesty will be glad to learn, as I think I can assure him, that though there may be circumstances of anxiety at the present moment, and of financial fear, these embarrassments, I believe, are merely temporary, and that the Government which now from year to year can afford to spend between £7,000,000 and £8,000,000 out of the revenue of the country on great public works can only require to look its position in the face to place itself speedily and surely on a sound founda- THE EVANGELICAL ALLIAACE. There was a numerous attendance at the third day's conference of the Evangelical Alliance at Derby. Lord Alfred Churchill, who occupied the chair, said there had seldom been a time when united action was more necessary. Their great antagonist at Rome was making giant efforts, and a party in their own Church—the Ritualistic party— was also seeking to lead them from the truth. In referring to Dr. Merle D'Aubigne's proposal of a protest against the CEcumenical Council, Lord A. Churchill said it was their duty to do all they could to promote their views of Evan gelical Christianity throughout the world. The Rev. Dr. Jobson, President of the Wesleyan Conference, delivered an address on the true basis of Christian union, and insisted upon the exercise of freedom of thought and liberty of conscience, since nothing else would be an abid ing basis of Christian union. Acts of uniformity, leagues, and covenants had failed to bind men together, and they must fail. True Christians throughout the world were members of one great family, and while they kept their denominational distinctions they should avoid giving each other unnecessary pain by their written or spoken words. The Church of England—the Church of the Reforma tion—was at the present time divided into sects, but they must not speak of the Church as if it were all going over to Popery. General Alexander, as a mem ber of the Church of England, entered his pro test against infidelity and rationalism, and said he thought the Church was like a vessel bumping on the rocks, that would soon go to pieces, but he meant to adhere to the ship while an evangelical plank remained in it. Later on, the Rev. J. B. Paton, M.A., Principal of the Congrega tional Institute, Nottingham, delivered an address on the relations of Christian faith to modern science. The duty of the Christian Church in this critical age was to affirm with fearless sincerity the absolute truth of Christianity. He thought that Churchmen were often too timid. The Church had need of an army of scholars, erudite, philo sophic, and thoroughly versed in science, in her ministry. The Christian Church could not oppose science. The God of nature and of history was the God of redemp tion, whatever might be known of Him and His glory was welcome, They must not, however, allow science to usurp authority which did not belong to it. The Church and modern science came into direct and fearfulconflict in the issue of the supernatural element of the Scriptures, andthis was the decisive question on which the controversy turned. This address, which was warmly applauded,, was much ad mired, and it was suggested that it should be printed. A meeting was held in the evening, at which the progress of religious liberty throughout Europe was discussed, and several foreign ministers and laymen tools part in it. The Liverpool magistrates decided on Thursday that a bicycle is a carriage within the meaning of the Act, and fined a youth named Carrol for driving one upon a footpath. In the Wood-green murder case it is said that the jury, on finding the prisoner guilty of murder, divided as to whether they should recommend him to mercy, and decided by seven to five against doing FO. The e»Voyes at the Great Western Cotton Works, Bristol, having struck against a proposed reduction of wages, on Thursday perambulated the principal streets of the city in procession. Tho number employed is about 2.000. Fur somo timo past they have worked half time, in consequence of the dpression in the trade; but recently an order was issued requesting the hands to work full time, but at the reduction of 10 per cent. in their wages. The hands object to this change, and hence the strike. It is stated that the proprietors sustained a loss cf £3OO a week by the work under the half-time move ment, and £350 a week upon the full time and reduction uarnapt. TRAFFIC IN CHILDREN. It may be feared that the practice of parents selling their children to wandering musicians, which certain continental Governments are now taking steps to check, may be introduced into this country. On Friday, the Board of Guardians in Wolverhampton had before them a case which it may be well hoped is without precedent here, notwithstanding that the business air which per vades the whole transaction would point to an opposite conclusion. Some days before, a girl of 8 years, who had learnt to play a mouth instrument, and was travelling with a musician, who is supposed to be a Swede named France Wolff, appealed for protection to two gentlemen, residents of Wolverhampton, who were passing along the Bilston-road (a highway on the fringe of the town), just as she had been beaten by Wolff. The gentlemen at once took the child to the Union. There it transpired that her home was Exeter, that she was the daughter of a widow, who had been prevailed upon by Wolff to let him have the child at even as early an age as four years, since which time she had not seen her mother, nor had Wolff gone back to Exeter during any part of that time. They travelled from town to town, and Wolff had a house at Kate's-hill, Dudley, but he was seldom there. She alone was now travelling with him. At one time he had as many as four girls wandering with him. The clerk to the guardians communicated with Exeter, and on Friday a letter was read to the board, which the child's mother had written. The poor woman wrote by the name of Mary Harris, said that she was a widow and in service, and expressed herself as" truly thankful thatshe had heard of her child at last." She had placed the case in the hands of the Exeter police, but had not had any tidings for two years. At that time Wolff sent her a document to sign, "promising to give her £26 for the child, but she refused till she knew if it was well treated.° Wolff, however, neither took the child to her, nor would he pay her railway fare to them, either of which she expressed her wish for him to do. She begged the guardians to allow her daughter to remain in the workhouse "till she could raise money enough to get her restored to her." In proof that Wolff had "no right to the child," she enclosed the document he had wished her to sign. Here it is :—"I, Mary Harris (widow) do hereby agree to give my only daughter, Mary Ann Harris, to France Wolff, to take her as his own child, and to learn his profession, from January the Ist, 1867, until January the Ist, 1877, after which time my child shall have her free will to say or leave_ the said France Wolff ; and in case of no fresh agreement on both parties, France Wolff will be compelled to give my daughter, Mary Ann Harris, necessary and respectable clothing, and £26 English money, which the said France Wolff will have to pay her for her own benefit. Witness —signed by my own hand—signed this Ist day of January, 1867. France Wolff, professor, of music, singing, and dancing," It is easy to understand how destitute mothers may be imposed upon by such sham " agreements," and children thereby become hopeless outcasts. Of course, in this case, the child remains for a time in the care of the Wolverhampton guardians. A BROAD CHURCH CLERGYMAN UPON MR. BOYD. A Broad Church clergyman has been writing about the Twelve Days' Mission for the Daily New. Ho is evidently much taken up by Mr. Body. He spent the last night of the mission not at St. Alban's where the grand service took place ; but hearing Mr. Body. " Perhaps (he says) no stronger proof of the fascination exercised by mere fluency of speech and earnestness of purpose could be adduced than this man's power to bring me thither evening after evening at the sacrifice of so much valuable time, and amid influences not altogether congenial. If I, who could sit there coldly criticising even his most telling " hits," felt this fascination, what of the sensitive females, and men more impressionable than myself, whom I saw there, with the tears they tried to conceal actually bursting through the hands with which they covered their faces? I certainly never saw such a sight outside or inside the walls of a church as I have seen at All Saints'. One hour and a quarter before sermon-time there was crowd in Margaret-street. At ten minutes past seven, when the outer gates were opened, the rush resembled a Jenny Lind night in olden time at the Opera. The church was filled in a few minutes; for many persons—members of the regular congregations we will presume—were admitted through the clergy-house. Then ensued a time of conversation ; not light, flippant talk— I witnessed no one single instance of that—but, both before the service and also between the sermon and Bible class, there was deep, earnest conversation of men on religious topics. The sermon, to my thinking, was Mr. Body's chef d'oeuvre. Its subject was Perseverance ; its text the suggestive one, Let us run with patience rice that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our ann. 1v was not to be forgotten ; more quietly delivered. and truer to its logicical divisions, than any that had preceded it. Its subject was characteristically summarised by the preacher as Christian Pluck.' The Bible-study that succeeded was an eloquent picture of the condition of the Departed in Paradise, and an appeal by that softest of all sanctions to perseverance. When the mother was pointed to the arms of her dead baby-boy beckoning her forward, or the young man urged by the love of a lost mother, one can well understand the sensation (I wrote that word unadvisedly, and not with its new meaning) produced. Looking round analy tically, I could not but confess I had seen as much feeling evoked by a powerful drama. I have seen grey-headed men weeping at Mrs. Mellon's impersonation of the mother at the foot of the guillotine where her son is to be exe cuted, in Mr. Watts Phillips' Dead Heart' Will this prove more lasting? I believe each does good; but one, we know,is ephemeral. lam only echoing the preacher's own anxious and often-expressed doubt. Will this `sensation' prove more permanent? The experiment of this mission has been cleverly elaborated and successfully worked out as far as immediate result goes. I saw strict Roman Catho lics and ultra-Evangelicals, in whose nostrils All Saints has been hitherto unsavoury, gathered in last night's congregation. Will the cohesive power last ? Whatever else be the upshot of all this, it proves we have at least one Boanerges amongst us, the Rev. Mr. Body," of ' Wolverhampton. I felt a little likc Iscariot, I must confess, when, passing out by the side door, I found Mr. Body, arrayed in priest's cloak, standing there to shake hands with members of the congregation as they passed. I thought I might get by unobserved; but no, he insisted on a shake, and said, in a cheery tone, Good bye; your face is very familiar to me at this mission, though I don't know your name. Are you working in London ? ' I did not tell him my name ; I only told him half my work; and omitted to mention that I was doing the mission for the Daily .21 - cws. You will recognise me now, Mr. Body ; but I believe you can sympathise with, though you may not share, my views as a Broad Churchman. I wonder whether, had you known my mission, you would have felt as I did, that I was grasping the hand of an honest man at all events." There are at present 300 German newspapers or periodicals of various kinds in the United States, exclusive of journals, such as the Agriculturist, which, though ap pearing in English, publish an edition at the same time in the German language. WILKIE COLLINS AND THE DUTCH PUBLISHERS. —Mr. Wilkie Collins publishes a rather curious correspon dence he has had with a firm of Dutch publishers. He was startled one day recently by receiving a letter from Messrs. Belinfante Brothers, of The Hague, addressing him as " Madame," and requesting permission to reprint his new story of "Man and Wife" in the "Stuivera Magazyn," a copy of which they offered him "with the greatest pleasure." Unfortunately they offered nothing else, and this brought the indignant author down upon them in great force. At the outset he ventures to set them right "on a trifling matter of detail." " I avow it with sincere regret, but the interests of truth are sacred. The trumpet of Fame, gentleman, has played the wrong tune in your ears. lam not the charming person whom you suppose me to be. I wear trousers; I have a vote for Parliament; I possess a beard; in two dreadful words, I am—a Man. This little error set right, let us return to business." He says outright—there is " a much better way than giving me the magazine. It is quite a new idea; you might give me some money." Forestalling the possible objection that that the publisher's profits are miserably small, he observes :—" Call the profits, if you like, a shilling a week, and give me the indescribable satis faction of seeing f or thirty or forty weeks to come, this entry in my banker's book,—By Messrs. Belinfante Brothers, Sense of Justice, 6d. My friend, Baron von Tauchnitz, of Lep gig, reprints my books for continental circulation. n. He is not obliged by law to pay me a farthing for doing so, but he invariably does pay me, nevertheless. His own sense of honour is law enough, in this' particular, for Baron vo n Tauchnitz. Is their own sense of honour not law enough, also, in this particular, for Messrs. Beliufanto Brothers ?" Whereupon the Dutchmen thank M. Collins for setting them right on the detail of gender, which has the advan tage of enabling them to " dispense with the laws of gallantry and bo merely practical in our answer," Tauchnita, they observe, reprints Mr, Collins's books in English, while they wish to do so in Dutoh " fora small drole of readers." They will pay their translator for his trouble (Mr. Collins asked this question), but we are left to infer that they cannot afford to pay Mr. Collins in addition, However, as th e E ng li s h author had fired a shot at them on the questi on of "dignity,' they d ec li ne t o reprint his story without his . permission ; but th e y a dd, " TOrs have the eft*, of leaving yolq book us transl,494 f st4pv 9 tdolt publiell6r , e; logs korilpulo , will • ; • .• • • . tokYtatit-; • nortiying 444: 4 tv CIO) t gy Tara HER MAJESTY.
