Mr. LOWE will be expected to do great things next year. The Minister who could convert a deficit of four mil lions into a surplus ought to do wonders when there is no Abyssinian War to defray. Yet even he cannot effect reductions of taxation without making reduc tions of expenditure, and thus we are led to ask what departments of the service will feel his pruning hand ? There can be but one answer to this question; it is " the Services" which will be the first to acknowledge his presence. The admirable reform carried out by Mr. BAXTER at the Admiralty would, even if they were to stop short now, offer a con siderable saving for next year's estimates. But it is the advantage of these reforms that they need not stop for many a day. They are most prolific. A simple alteration in the mode of buying coals and timber—the alteration of employing buyers who understand the articles they purchase—has led to a saving of millions. Then, again, there are establish- ments which either have been closed or shortly will be closed, such as - Woolwich and Deptford Dockyards, and which will hereafter bring in a revenue instead of being a drain upon our resources as hitherto. There is little doubt that an alteration will shortly be made in the selection of dockyards men, and that before long we shall see a check put upon the system by which we are bur dened for their life with nine or ten thousand "established" men who know nothing about iron ship building. At the War Office there is almost equal need of, though greater difficulty, in effecting reforms which involve reductions. Mr. CHILDERS is for tunate enough to have no Royal personage to deal with. Mr. CARDWELL is less happy, and the world will never know what an obstacle he has had to encounter at the Horse Guards. " What's done we partly may compute, But know not what's resisted." Yet even the Commander-in-Chief has had to give way, and, it is stated, apparently with authority, that His Royal highness will shortly move his quarters from Whitehall to Pall-Mall. This change will certainly lead to economy, and if the rumour be true that Mr. CARDWELL is to have a secretary, who will serve him as well as Mr. BAXTER has served Mr. CHILDERS, there will be ample security for even greater reductions. Finally, there is the new Control system which has only just come into general operation, and which, if we may judge from its effects when adopted partially, will have the happiest result. Altogether, there is good reason for being cheerful, even though the thought of our income-tax returns does weigh upon us. LATEST INTELL MENU (REU'ER'S TELEGRAMS.)

The rumours current here of the despatch of ships with troops to Egypt are unfounded. The following are the real facts of the case : Three Ministerial Councils have been held in the course of the week for the consideration of the Khedive's last reply, in which his Highness deferen tially declines to submit his budget to the Porte, and maintains his independent right to contract THE SUEZ CANAL. The corresponaent of the Daily .2Veivs who is reporting the opening of the Suez Canal writes, under date "Port Said, Nov. fifth, Night:"—" The Canal is open. We were told so three times and in the most solemn way this after noon by Monsignor Bauer with the Empress of the French, the Emperor of Austria, the Crown Prince of Prussia, the Queen of Holland, the Khedive, and other scarcely less important witnesses. It was a strange and striking sight. On the sands of the Mediterranean and about an eighth of a mile from the harbour were three state kiosks. One, the largest, was spacious, and with its two wings held three hundred people. This was for the Khedive, his royal, and some of his ecclesiastical guests. It had two openings, each gained by a carpeted staircase, and the whole structure was open all round, its one flooring or platform being some twelve feet from the ground. It was reached from the harbour by a temporary road way, guarded by Egyptian soldiers, along tho clear space of which the royal and a few other of the Khedive's guests walked on foot, taking their seats with backs to the town, with the harbour and its countless flags on their right, and the Arab quarter and the strip of sand dividing Lake Mcnsaleh from the sea stretching far away on the left hand. The Canal was not visible. Be tween this state structure and the Mediterranean were two smaller kiosks, each facing it, the one to the left painted green and white,being destitute of internal decora tion, and containing six Mussulman Mollahs, all of high rank in the Mahomedan Church; the one to the right being fitted with an altar laden with a silver cross and massive candlesticks, and filled with bearded priests of the Greek Church, monks, and acolytes in scarlet. Between these two,'and forming a background to them, rolled the open sea; between them again and the first kiosk were the sands. A handful of bystanders were permitted to occupy the intervening space, but the vast majority of spectators lined the road from the harbour and kept their position during the proceedings. Standing between the three kiosks, you saw the faces in each, and as the principal or viceregal one filled, the central space between its wings, occupied by Coptic and Armenian priests, bearded and gowned, and each looking like the conventional Merchant as seen on the British stage,became a mass of brilliant colour. The Hon. Mr. Elliot, her Majesty's representative at Constantinople, in diplomatic uniform of blue and gold, sat on the extreme left. Next him was the Queen of Holland, in pale lavender silk; then the Khedive, in fez and Turkish uniform, with the grand cordon of the Medijie across his breast. The Empress of the French came next, and it was admitted on all hands that her Majesty never looked more lovely. She was draped in a delicate lilac silk with many flounces and much whitolace ; the double skirt of the said dress being looped up, and its body cut in evening fashion. THEATRE-ROYAL, HAYMARKET.

"THE QUEEN has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to the following persons and the respective heirs male of their bodies lawfully begotten." Such is the announcement in Friday's Gazette, followed by the names and titles of the gen tlemen who have been exalted into the rank of noble men, or who have been raised from a lower to a higher place in the peerage. There are eight of them, but there were to have been twelve. The weather having been unfavourable in October, Mr. GLADSTONE passed the wet days in " creating " a dozen peers. One third of them refuse to be created. Like the famous Welsh baronet of a former generation, who thought it a finer thing to be Sir WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN than to have a dukedom, Mr. CIERISTOPIIER RICE MANSEL TALBOT, of Penrice Castle, Lord- Lieutenant of Glamorganshire, and for forty years M.P. for that county, prefers to retain the name which lie holds in common with the family of the premier earl of England to being made Earl of CARDIFF or Marquis of WORMSIIEAD. So, too, Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, Lord of the Baronies of Glengarry and Glenquoich, thinks that his old Highland title is worth more than any coronet which a Lowland Minister can give him. Then, again, there is Mr. WENTWORTIIBLACKETT BEAUMONT, of Bretton Hall, who has money enough to buy up half-a-dozen peers—he, too, will not be kicked upstairs. Finally, there is Mr. GROTE, the banker—historian— politi . cian, who trebly merited such reward as there is in the bestowal of a coronet ; he too declines Mr. GLADSTONE'S offer with thanks. It is impossible not to see in these four refusals a proof of the diminishing value of what was once thought the highest reward. Fifty years ago a man would have betray his party, and sell himself for the honour which is now held so cheap ; just as fifty years ago many a clergyman would have stooped to any meanness in order to gain a bishopric, the offer of which in our days so often elicits a genuine nolo episcopari. What is the cause of this difference ? Why do gentlemen of fortune refuse coronets ? Why do clergymen of great abili ties refuse mitres ? For exactly opposite reasons. The clergyman dreads the toil which the bishopric imposes—dreads lest when, like Archbishop TAIT, he has finished his eightieth letter in a morning, he should be suddenly stricken with paralysis In the course of half a century public opinion has become so exigent, requires such a vast amount of work to be done for the episcopal pay, that only strong men should undertake the duties, and even they must do so with the conviction that episcopal lives, instead of being proverbially long, are likely to be shortened by episcopal labours. On the other hand, the peerage is contemned because it has to a large extent ceased to offer the career which it once offered. Thirty years ago, when the House of Lords was a very much smaller assembly than it is now, the individual influence of each peer in the House was relatively greater. The frequent creations that have taken place since then, about 160 altogether, far exceeding the number which have become extinct, have lessened the power of each peer. But this is by no means all, nor the most important change that has taken place. It is in the altered relations between the two branches of the Legis lature that we find the chief causes of the present reluc tance to accept the once highly-prized distinction. Before the first Reform Bill the Upper House was all, but omnipotent. For nearly forty years its power has been departing from it, until it has become, as the Bishop of PETERBOROUGH has declared, little more than the registrar of the decisions of the Commons. We are not now discussing if this change is beneficial or injurious. It is sufficient for our present purpose to note the fact, for it offers the true solution of the problem we started at the outset. No one can doubt that a really ambitious man—be he ambitious for present power or for pos thumous fame, to serve himself or to serve his country—has a much better chance of accomplishing his wish in the House of Commons than in the House of Lords. Fancy Mr. GLADSTONE or Mr. DISRAELI becoming a peer. They would just as soon think of going up with the next batch of mayors and sheriffs to be knighted. Who can doubt that if the present Marquis of SALISBURY and Earl of DERBY had had the power they would have renounced—the one his marquisate, the other his earldom, in order to retain the right still to strive in that noblest of arenas, the British House of Commons ? tiro must therefore expect that hereafter new peers will belong less and less to the leaders of public, opinion and the chiefs of political warfare. The gentlemen who accept the dignity will be wealthy, highly respectable, and locally esteemed. But they will not be famous. The honorary rewards which the ablest men ill seek hereafter wal be such as they can hold consistently with the retention of their position in the Lower House of the Legislature, ribbons, stars, and letters of the alphabet. Should one of the vacant garters be offered to Mr. DisnAELI —should one of the most highly-prized privileges of the nobility be bestowed upon a commoner—we shall see another great step made towards depriving a peerage of its former worth. IT is early yet to think of next year's estimates ; but that terrible trial which Mr. LOIN - F. has in store for us, when he will compel us, at the very time that we have all our Christmas bills staring us in the face, to pay a whole year's income-tax at once, makes us expect that the cruel CHANCELLOR of the LEx cgEqi:Eß will relieve our misery as soon as he can, and Loans. On Thursday a memorandum, written by the Vizier and approved by the Sultan, was signed by all the Ministers. The document firmly recapitulates from a Turkish point of view the rights and privileges conceded to Egypt by treaties and firmans, and summons the Khedive to accept this document as a rule for his conduct in all relations with the Porte.

A meeting was held last night by 165 members of the Legislative Body, all of them adherents of the interpellation of the " hundred and sixteen." Count Daru presided. He said the meeting was called together by the common desire of maintain ing the Empire and liberty, M. Segris held the same view, and said that the empire and liberty, when consolidated, would sup port one another. MM. Andelarre, Keller, and Latour Dumontin proposed to interpellate the Cabinet on the first day of the session on the subject of the adjourn ment of the Corps Legislatif, and to make of it a Cabinet question. This resolution was opposed by M. 011ivier and M. Segris, M. Stancelim said we must found a great Con servative party to Secure the maintenance of order, conjoined with liberty. At these words the whole meeting shouted, " Say the E m p ire with liberty." The meeting ad o pt e d by 102 against 23 votes a resolution proposed by M. 011ivier, postponing the interpellation referred to until the verification of the mandates should have taken place.

MON SIGNOR EAEER'S SERMON. Directly all were in their places one of the illollahs in the Mussulman kiosk, a grave man, with white beard and in the holy green, commenced the proceedings by reading an extract from the Koran. Then the Patriarch of Alexandria, and the priests of his Church, knelt at the altar in the other kiosk, and offered up prayers, after which the ships in the harbour fired many volleys, and. then there was a momen tary stir among the crowd on the steps, and Monsignor Bauer, as representative of the Roman Catholic Church, o;tree forward. The interest culminated now. The whis pered remarks of comment or explanation which had passed hitherto between the Viceroy, the Queen of Hol {and, the Empress Eugenie, and the Emperor of Austria, toased. A great quietness, too, fell upon the crowd, and so with the turbaned Shicks—one of whom we recognised as having played a prominent part in the rite of the I)6seh when the prostrate bodies of the faithful were - dden over a few days since—gazing curiously from one kiosk, and the gorgeous and gaudy figures of the Greek priests gazing down upon him from the other, Mon signor Bauer, standing on the steps of the latter building, began his eloquent oration. The violet beret, robes, and gloves, the apostolic ring, sonorous voice, and appropriate action of this ecclesiastic made his every word tell. His reverence spoke at considerable length, and to this effect, so modulating his voice that though the space was con liklerable between him and his royal hearers, not a syllable was lost :—` The final hour has struck. 4.t length, then, the problem has been solved which has formed the thought of ages. An era is closed. East and West salute each other across the isthmus. Humanity celebrates its festive day. The material grandeur of tho enterprise we celebrate is the feature which first strikes us; but its physical greatness is far less important than its moral aspect. Through this channel the civilisation of two worlds will be fused together. It is fitting now to pay fespect to those who have brought this great work to a conclusion." pliments to the Khedive as the regenerator of Egypt, to the Empress as the consistent patron of the undertak ing, and to the Emperor of Austria and to the other poten tates asscmbled, the orator paid an eloquent tribute of respect to M. de Lesseps as the modern Columbus, to whom the universe owed a debt of gratitude. Monsignor Bauer wound up his harangue by an appeal to his auditors to raise their thoughts from this union of two hemispheres to the yet higher union between man and his Maker, and by imploring the blessing of Providence upon the fruits of the Canal, which he formally pronounced to be open. TRADE AND FINANCE. SATURDAY EVENING. Some further steps have been taken in the matter of the Albert Insurance Company, the liquidators having made arrangements with the Mutual Insurance Company to take over such lives as may not object to the transfer. A special sale of premiums has been adopted, which appears to be as advantageous to the policy-holders of the defunct com pany as could be expected. Holders of policies granted within the last five years, and at some ages even within ten years. will have to pay no additional premium, while in many cases they may obtain policies for the amount of their pre sent assurances at even lower premiums than they have hitherto paid. These, however, are, of course, exceptional cases, and as a general rule the premiums payable for insurances in the new office will be consi• derably in excess of the old payments to the Albert, so that the policy-holders will be proportionate 'osers. At the same time the alternative exists of reduc ng the amount insured according to the premium paid We believe that the plan proposed is a good one, and the best that could be devised under the circumstances, and one that offers good facilities to those who have no' already insured their lives in other offices. Advices from Paris report a very heavy fall—about EX forces—in the quotation for Suez Canal shares. All direct news from Egypt prejudicial to the scheme has been sup pressed, but the intelligence received rid London has no 4 been considered encouraging, and a decline has been the natural result. The Canal is thought to be - far fron' being in working order, and fears are entertained that it will not be for a long time to come if ever, that it will produce the revenue its promoters thought themselves justified in promising. M. do Losseps' speech, intimating that more money will be required— although £16,560,000 has already been expended on the work—has tended to depress values, and it has be come evident that, after all, the recent inaugu ration cannot be considered successful, if regarded as anything more than a mere fete. We need scarcely remark that the recent experience of the Canal has not raised it in the estimation of commercial circles hero, and it is not probable that large vessels will avail themselves , of it. In any event, sailing vessels will probably continue to go round the Cape, in consequence of the difficult navigation of the Red Sea, while the number of steamers plying direct to Bombay and the other parts of India is but insignificant. Whether the opening of the canal will create a net' traffic remains to be seen ; but it will probably not intereferd greatly with the old. Hopes are entertained of a large coast,::ng trade with the Mediterranean; but it must be recollected that Me diterrancan tonnage is quite insignificant at present, and there appears but little prospect of any considerable revenue from this source. We have not yet, however, had sufficient experience to allow us to judge of the real capacity of the canal, and we would avoid any appearanca of pre-judgment. We understand that the Peninsular and Oriental Company have determined not to make use of it for the present, but the question of insurance on vessel passing through it, is still under discussion at Lloyd's. The steamcr Rose, from the Clyde to London decry, after being in collision with the steamer Cambria from New York, has gone ashore, and is much damaged. A telegraphic message from Nice conveys the news of the death of Lady Blantyre, at Nice, en the evening of Wednesday last. Lady Blantyre was the second daughter of George Granville, second Duke of Sutherland, K.G. The larnenti.d lady leaves a family of four daughters and au only son, Walti.r. Ifer third daughter, Evelyn, is married tc Sir David Baird, Bart., of Newoyth, North Britain. The late Lady Blantyre was sister of the Duchess of Arygli, the Marchioness of Kildare, and the Marchioness of West minster. Some of the clergy in Somerset intend this week memorializing the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject of Dr. Temple's election. In the memorial now being signed his grace is asked not to proceed to Dr. Temple's consecra tion "until such time as the said Dr. Temple shall have made public satisfaction for public 'offence' by such retrac tation and disavowal as shall appear to be sufficient to the archbishops and bishops of both provinces and tq the two Houses of the Synod of Canterbury." The Rev. Prebendary Stephenson is chairman of the memorial committee, THE BRIGHTON RITUALIST PROSECU TIOIY. Tho great suit against the Rev. John Purchas, o f St James's Chapel, Brighton, came before the Arches Court on Saturday. Sir R. J. Phillimore said he had that morning received a long letter from Mr. Purchas, whose object appeared to be to account for his non-appearance, but he could take no judicial cognisance of that letter. By request of Dr. Stephens, Mr. Purchad was called out side the court, but did not answer, although ho was seated in court. Technically, however, he was unrepresented. The licence of Mr. Purchas to the incumbency of St. James's Chapel on 27th June, 1366, was proved. Mr. C. E. Verrel said he was present at St. James's Chapel on November 1, 1863, Christmas eve 1868, Easter morning 1869, Whit Sunday 1869, and on other occasions. There was always a congregation. He took notes at each of his attendances. Just before the appointed prayers there was a an entrance from the vestry of a number of persons, but not exactly in procession. After a minute or two they formed a procession. It consisted of a thurifer, dressed in a red skull cap and cassock, with white surplice and carrying a vessel containing incense, which he swung. Then came a person carrying a large cross. (A photograph was produced by Mr. Archibald representing what the witness saw, but the Dean refused to accept it as evidence. On looking at it, however, he said it did not agree with what had been stated by the witness.) The cross had a figure of the Saviour upon it, and the bearer of it was called a crucifer. Two boys called acolytes followed, bearing lighted candles. They were dressed in red cassocks, white surplices, and red skull caps. There were chorister boys in surplices. Then came a person in a surplice with a blue circular tippet, bearing a silk banner with a cross upon it. Then came some adult choristers in white surplices. The next person who came was the " ceremoniarius" (Laughter.) He was dressed in a white surplice with blue llppct. They wore cassocks. He thought he knew what a cotta" was. The Dean of Arches : What is it ? The witness hesitated, and looked at something in his hand. _ _ _ The Dean of Arches : What is it that you have in your hand? Witness: Something I brought to refresh my memoty. The Dean of Arches : Give it to me, sir. What do you mean by refreshing your memory? This is a printed book Let it be put away. Examination continued : Next came two persons wear ing cottas. Then came theßev.Mr.Purchas. The procession moved round the church all singing. Then the appointed order of prayers began. The same course was pursued on all occasions. lie was at the chapel on the evening of Feb 28, 1869, when there was a similar procession. Imme diately after the benediction the procession was re-formed During the reading of the Gospel the thurifer swung lighted incense, and the crucifer stood amidst a group of choristers. On Easter-Day and Whit Sunday the Te Deur, was sung at the evening service. A clergyman who was assisting Mr. Purchas, stood with his face to the altar. Mr. Purchas was present on all these occasions. On these days the altar was decorated with flowers, and on the altar also were a crucifix and two candles, while smaller candles were placed at the back of the altar and on the credence table The crucifix remained on the altar during the Communion service. On one occasion the crucifix was veiled in a white covering and striped with a red cross. On Easter Sun day the veil was not there, and the crucifix remained un covered during the service. On Whit -Monday, 1869, and on another occasion, Mr. Purchas bowed before the cruci• fix before the service began. At the Communion service two persons wearing white albs conducted Mr. Purchas to the altar. Mr. Archibald, (who was examining): Why don't you call it the Communion Table ? _ _ The Dean of Arches : 'Why? Let him call it what ho likes. He has been used to many terms such as "ceremo niarius," "crucifer," and others. (Laughter.) Examination continued : Incense was used specially during the communion service on Ash Wednesday, 1869. After the commination service, which was read by Mr Purchas, he was clad in a red and gold cope, and knelt at a small table in front of the altar. After staying there a short time he took a vessel containing a black compound, like ashes, and rubbed it on the foreheads of the curates and other persons, leaving a black mark in the shape of a cross. He then invited the congregation to come up, but no one responded. The Dcan of Arches : They had seen what had passed, and did not like it. Do I understand that he rubbed the black powder on the foreheads of the curates and boys? Witness : Yes. Then the Communion service proceeded During tho Litany service Mr. Purchas sprinkled tho can• dies with incense and then with water. On Ash-Wednesday Mr. Purchas gave each member of the congregation a candle, and they walked round the church in procession, the crucifer bearing a large cross, and the thurifcr swing ing incense. The ladies did not accompany the procession, but remained in their pews holding up their candles. Mr Purchas were a gold stole, a cope, and a chasuble, and then, while the congregation was standing, Mr. Purchas incensed the flowers and the candles, he himself being incensed by the thurifer. He noticed on several occasions when the wine was poured into the chalice, a bottle containing water was brought to Mr. Purchas, who made the sign of the Cross on it, and then poured out some of it into the chalice before the consecration. The wine and water thug mixed was administered to the communicants. On Ash Wednesday, 1869, and on other occasions, he noticed dur ing the consecration prayer that Mr. Purchas prostrated himself, elevated the chalice,and again prostrated himself a bell was rung three times, there being at the same time lighted candles and incense. He held the chalice as high above his head at he could possibly hold it. The paton wa: put on the top of the cup, and both held up together. At that time, Mr. Purchas was in front of the altar, with hir back to the congregation. After this evidence Mr. Stephens commenced hit opening speech, but he had not concluded when the court adjourned till to-day. MR. PURCHAS'S LETTER. In our report of Saturday's proceedings in the Arches Court against the Rev. John Purchas, of Brighton, refe rence is made to a letter from the rev. gentleman to Sis Robert Phillimore, the judge. That letter is as follows : " Having been cited into your lordship's court for alleges' breaches of the ecclesiastical law when conducting Divine service in St. James's Chapel, Brighton, of which I am the incumbent, I feel it to be due to your lordship to state why I have not appeared to the citation, lest my silence shoule be construed into neglect of the courtesy due to tr your lordship, or into want of respect for the autho rity of the court over which you preside. The suit has been promoted against me nominally at the in stance of Colonel Elphinstone, who resides at 10, Mont- pellier-crescent, Brighton, nearly a mile from St. James's Chapel. He has never, I believe, until within the last month, been present at any of the services in my chapel and certainly he is not under any kind of obligation te attend them. In his application to the Bishop of Chi chester, dated June 12, 1869, to take or allow proceeding: •against me, Colonel Elphinstone states that is solely actuated by a deep sense of the scandal and injury which has arisen to the Church in' hi, lordship's diocese, and especially in Brighton, from ' my irregular and illegal proceedings.' lam not aware ,however, my lord, of the existence of any such scandal and injury;' but if Colonel Elphinstone considers it right to take upon himself the office of public prosecutor, he ought surely first to discharge the duty imposed upon him as the warden of an episcopal chapel at Brighton, by taking care that no 'scandal and injury' to the Church is o caused by disobedience to the ecclesiastical laws in that chapel. The town of Brighton is one parish, with a population of above 80,000 inhabitants (independently of visitors), and comprising persons holding, probably every kind of belief and opinion on religious matters whether in or out of the Church of England; it contains twenty-one Episcopal churches and chapels, none of which have any legal ecclesiastical district ; while St. James's Chapel has not even a conventional district assigned to a r gi it. number o, then, o f my persons lor it. Therefore, attendance upo n it s serv i ces i s entirely voluntary - different classes on the wh part, frequent ) of the l humbly think th a t it s m i n i ster and tho congregation i which is satisfied with th e serv i ces there conducted, are entitled to as much toleration as is given to the clergy and , : - Jingregations of other churches and chapels in Brighton", um it can be proved that the Rubrics of the Book of Common Prs.:er and the other laws of the Church of England are more sti::tlY obeyed in those other churches and chapels than they; a., in St. James's Chapel. Your lordship, however, is no doubt are of the noto rious fact that the real promoter of the Suit against me is a body styling itself " The Church Associatioisi which has collected large funds for the avowed purpose of exterminating what is called "Ritualism" in the Church of England—that is, in truth, of preventing all teaching and ceremonial which do not accord with its own view of what ought to bo permitted. I leave it to the public to decide whether it is consistent with equity, or oven justice, that either a persecuting association like this, or an individual who has no personal grievance of which to complain, should be allowed to molest laity and clergy who prefer a service in the Church of England conducted differently from what they themselves approve. Against such an association, my lord, I have no means of contending by the employment of counsel to advocate my cause ; I have no funds of my own to defray the very heavy expenses of defending a suit in the Ecclesiastical Courts, and it would be an injustice to m y family to involve m y self in costs which I have no prospect of defraying. It is open to me I am aware, to con duct m y own case ; but the state of my health physically disables me from personally making gthat defence which else I could maintain. Under these :circumstances I am compelled to allow the prosecution in your lordship's court to take its course un unresisted by me ; and I must trust to such protection as I am sure your lordship will afford me in the impartial discharge of your lordship's office. It seems only right to inform your lordship that, eight months lpr 'or to Colonel Elphinstone's application to the Bishop of Chichester, I twice requested his lordship to afford me an interview with reference to h c arges which his lordship informed me had been laid before him touch ing the services in St. James's Chapel ; but the Bishop, without assigning a reason, decli ne d t o see me, an d I have not since heard from his lordship. My object in mention ing this is simply to state my own position, and not to make any complaint s of tho course taken by my dioasan. 4,7, 7.k....., 7---f •-... ~,,,'"' ', ,' 4 2' .. j>14,4,1 „ - 1' , i' 11:1 itlll4l 4 . :., . 1 ~ ~ 4. . „,...1, ... „...:,..7 , 2,_.,.. - 1 , 4 i it . ._ ,._.... g ., _,....,...., L i,,,, , r ' , . ,ty 6, D - I ji, ---,..4„,,.:._,,,...---s-r--- iftpl -V -.- ti • .G.L.,-..--.

" The infant Princess continues well. (Signed) ARTHUR FARRE, M.D. EDWARD H. SIEVEKING, 11• D• ST. JAMES'S :CREAM& Mrs. John Wood made her first appearance e n Saturday evening in a new version of Mr. Joh n Brougham's burlesque of " Pocahontas," which bears the name of "La Belle Sauvage." Th e stair of Pocahontas is pretty well known to Eng lish readers ; but for the benefit of those who maY 11° ' be familiar with it, we may remark that Pocahontas was a daughter of King Powhattan, who during th e early days of the colonisation of Virginian was th f recognised chief of the Indians in that country. plot having been formed to kill all the white set tlers, Pocahontas revealed the intended treachery e of her tribe, and subsequently saved the life ca Captain Smith. For this, as we are reminded, she " was brought to England, received with royal honours, and married to an English gentle' man." Some liberties are of course taken with the old story, but the plot of " La Belle Sauvage is substantially that of the Virginian heroine. Mrs. John Wood appeared in the character of Pocahon tas. She is evidently perfectly at home in h a i r : lesquo business of the more refined kind. Her movements are graceful and easy, and her tawnier eminently pleasing. On the whole her appeara nce may be regarded as one of the most genuine th em trical successes of recent time. Mr. Lionel Broagli: in the character of Captain John Smith, Mr. M ark Smith, as King Powhattan, were highly succeesflut; Altogether the St. James's company appears to 13 _ strong in the burlesque element, the minor ch arac ters being remarkably well filled. The burlesque was a decided triumph. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE A T 1111LE-EYD' Ip. iS th Between the hours of o'clock-- o and three o'clock morning, a fire attended with a great loss of pro perty, and , almost fatal results to a whole house hold, took place on the premises, belonging to W I ; fi C. Gross, a bread and biscuit baker, carrying ° business at No. 13,awkins-street, sydney_s treet, , e Mile-end. The discovery was made by one of th e inmates, who.was up at the time, but the whole o f other residents were in their beds asleep ; it was with considerable difficulty that they could be madesell; sible of theirimpendingdanger. At length they O r aroused, when, upon jumping out of their be ds s ; they found the floorings so hot as to nearly drag the skin from their feet. They were, however/ 3 rescued, but nearly suffocated. Numerous engitleo of the Brigade were quickly set to work from 111's abundant supply of the East London CompanY., water ; but in spite of the exertions of the firenle:: and London Salvage Corps, the premises were s, burnt, and part of the roof destroyed. Dlr. GrZ was insured in the Liverpool and London and Glob Fire-offices. POLICE INIELLIGENCE.-7ha Day. THAMES. sh A DRUNKEN COWARD.—Patrick Donovan, an - labourer, aged 27 years, was brought before Mr. rag e ; charged with violently assaulting his mother, Mary 4533 Donovan. and He came home at a late hour last night intoxicate d, - when his mother opened the door for him he struck he r ° ,: a the eye, knocked her down, and gave her a most see— black eye. lie had no excuse to make, exeept drunkenness, a nd ti Paget sentenced him to one month's iMprisournon" - hard labour. on The prisoner's father then complained of his eon's ea ral misconduct, and said he often came home tipsy, n bus „,° him and his mother, and would sell anything in the 1319"- to procure strong drinks. Mr. Paget cautioned tho prisoner, who, ho said, Nab: groat scoundrel, and ought to be living away fr° lll parents. The prisoner was a great, strong fellow , al t ought to get his own living. If the prisoner was broug before him again charged with striking his fathe r or )3.131' mother he would punish him very severely, and se nd 1)1 , 0 to prison for a long period, and compel him to enter is recognisances to keep the peace. oa The Prisoner (gruffly) —Very well. He then tu rned his heel and walked away in the custody of the g aoler. a IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Miller, a bloated dad IMPUDENT dissipated woman, aged 31 years, was charged before t Paget with a very impudent robbery in a china shop 1 by Mr. John Kingston, 51, Cole's-place, Commerc ial4°3 east.
