He believed that if the lower clams were enfranchised they would, by yielding to corrupting influences, become obstacles to real Radical reforms. The change has been made now, whether for good or ill, and Air. Lowe is not the man to cry over shed milk. He will simply acknow ledge the inevitable, and endeavour to make the best use of the new materials with which he has to deal. Some little surprise was excited among the uninitiated that no writs were moved for on behalf of the Marquis of Hartington and Mr. Bruce, who are still without seats. Rumour says that a scat will be found for one of them at Morpeth by the retirement of Sir George Grey with a peer age. This would be a very suitable arrangement. Sir G eorge deserves his peerage, if long years of official life entit'e a man to that reward. The only question is, if he, being by noAlininisteearsns wahoweaarlethiyn m re a e n ei , p a t n o d f b a ei p n e g ns o i ne on,of,vothneldfooaurreetxo accept a dignity that implies a substantial income to sus tain it. It is still thought not improbable that the Marquis of Hartington will be raised to the Upper House, and in that case only one seat would have to be found. As for the Minis ters against whom election petitions were threatened, they are, with one exception, no longer troubled. Viscount Mahon seems to have been advised by his seniors not to fulfil his threat of petitioning against Mr. Gladstone; the petition against Mr. Goschen has been withdrawn ; and yesterday it was decided to withdraw that against Mr. Moncrieff, the Lord Advocate. This step, I believe, is due to the influence of Mr. Gordon, the ex-Lord Advocate and defeated candidate. He has always been adverse to the action of his committee. There now remains only Mr. Forster, and he, it seems, will have to stand a trial ; for a recent effort to bring abaut a reconciliation between the two political sections at Bradford, with a view to the withdrawal of both petitions, has failed. Sir Henry Bulwer has decided not to make his motion with respect to the Ballot whereof he had given notice Mr. Henry Berkeley, the antiquated and should-be-super annuated member for Bristol, claims the Ballot as his own peculiar property, and to him the member for Tamworth yields place. It was but in accordance with human nature, I suppose, that Mr. Berkeley should, now that it is on the eve of success, have insisted upon bringing forward the subject with which he has been associated all his life, but that success would be more assured if the matter were entrusted to an advocate who has not passed into the stage of old fogeyism. Politics are just now of subsidiary interest to ecclesias tical affairs. The ritual judgment is discussed on every side, and the more it is discussed the less it is liked. The party which at first claimed it as a triumph now find that they are affected by it in a way they never contemplated. It appears* that Lord Cairns has, inter alia, ruled that the proper place of the celebrant during Holy Com munion is in front of the Holy Table, with his back to the people, and it is even affirmed that the judgment renders compulsory the use of the eucharistic vestments ; so that the prosecUtors, while endeavouring to curtail the liberty of their opponents, have curtailed their own still more. Yesterday there was a large gathering of High Church clergy and laity at the Freemasons' Tavern, to consider their position, About 20) were present, and Archdeacon Denison presided. There were several speakers, and it was mentioned as a matter of fact that the judgment was not the finding of all, but of a bare majority, Lord Westbury and Sir William Erle being opposed to it, Sir J. Colvile being neutral, and Lord Cairns, Lord Chelmsford, and the Arch bishop of York being favourable to it. This was thought -to weaken in no small degree the force of the judgment, especially as the Archbishop of York had pronounced an opinion upon the question before he heard the arguments. Eventually it was resolved to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight, and to appoint a committee who should report upon the matter. I believe that Mr. Perry, of Brighton (one of the Royal Commission on Ritual), Dr. Littledale, Dr. G. F. Lee, Mr. Carter, of Clewer, the Hon. C. L. Wood !President of the E. C. U.), and Mr. Turner are on the committee, and that they have power to add to their number. • Last Sunday, at a well-known church in London, a last sermon was preached by the curate, a gentleman who is known in the literary world. lie ceases henceforth to take part in clerical duty, or to retain any clerical dis tinction of title or dress. He is on the staff of a very well-known evening journal, and that same journal has among its writers two other ex clergymen, one of them the son of a distin guished litterateur and the son-in -law of another still more distinguished. There is also at one of our principal hospitals and schools of medicine a physician who has been in holy orders ; and there is another, the defendant in a trial for heresy, who is now on the Stock Exchange. They have all abandoned their original professions from dissatisfaction with the stringent formalities of the Church. I believe that the number of these is much larger than is generally supposed. Of course the world does not hear of these secessions. There is no party interested in pro claiming them. Christmas all but suspended the play in the British Chess Association tournaments. The numbers of games remaining to be played is not large. The Challenge Cup rests undecided, Mr. Blackburn and Mr. De Vere, who now hold the cup, having scored the largest number of games. In the Handicap Tourney, only Herr Steinitz, Mr. Wisker, and Dr. Murphy, the two former of the first, and the latter of the second class, remain. In the Glowworm Tourney competition rests I only between the Rev. G. A. Macdonnell, Messrs. Black burne, De Vere, and Wisker. The contest in this last match promises to be very keen. Chess never, I believe, flourished so vigorously as it does now both in the metropolis and in the country. The Westminster Chess Club has taken up its quarters at the old Divan, and now numbers between 200 and 300 members. In addition to the St. George's in the West and the London in the City, a new club is being formed under the direction of the well known author and player, Mr. Staunton, Its head quarters will be at the Westminster Palace Hotel. Chess literature is on the increase. It now includes one quarterly and two monthlies, four weekly and one bi-weekly columns in London newspapers, and others in the provinces. There was an interesting Christmas dinner given on Tuesday by the manager of the Australian Meat Agency. Some forty persons sat down to feast on Australian meat dressed in various forms. There were several Australian notabilities, and in reply to the toast proposed by one of them in honour of Mr. Tallerman, the manager of the company, that gentleman described the pro gress which was being made in the introduction of Australian meat. In )867 only £3,500 worth was im ported ; in the first nine months of 1868 the amount was £lO,OOO. A description was given of the apparatus used in preserving the meat, which, by the way, was somewhat highly spiced ; and it was stated that sufficient encourage. ment had been given for the experiment to be carried out on a large scale. The increase in metropolitan railways makes it very important that a coal should be consumed which is not sulphurous. Until lately, it was a real penance to go into any of the stations on the line between King's-cross and Baker-street. But recently an anthracitic coal from South Wales has been used, with a manifest improvement of the atmosphere. It has been found also that the coal is economical. Not only is it less sulphurous, but it possesses more heating power, and, weight for willwei h gh e that a a t , will do s more saving of o n re w o:300a w than other w coal.will be made on h The result Metropolitan Railway alone, and that more trains will be able to run.

I mentioned in my last letter that Mr. Tennyson had I transferred the copyright of Lis poems from Moxon and Co., to Messrs. Strahan. These latter gentlemen advertise the works at the same price as before, but it is rumoured that they are about to bring out a cheaper edition. The firm of " Moxon and Co." is to be reconstituted with the new year. Mr. Bertrand Payne, who has hitherto con ducted it in the interest of the widow of the late head, retires from business, and devotes himself to literature, and Mr. Arthur Moxon takes his place. A dinner was given to Mr. Payne t few evenings back by way of celebrating the production of Dore's illustrated edition of the " Idylls of the King." Another publishing change is the dissolution of the old firm of Smith and Elder, and the removal of the new firm from Cornhill to Waterloo Place. There seems a tendency on the part of the book trade to push westwards. Mr. Masters has long had a West-end as well as a City place of business. Messrs. Allen moved from Leadenhall-street to Waterloo-place about ten years ago, and in that same place Messrs. Rivington are established. Of new books there is still a limited supply, considering the season. The new novel " Wife and Child," is by bliss Whitty, sister of the late Edward Whitty, who wrote " Friends of Bohemia." Captain Semines's book on the Alabama is just out. One of the most charming gift books of the season is Mr. \Varne's. " The Nobility of Life," edited by L. Valentine, and illus trated hi coloured engravings and printed borders, by J. D. Watson, P. Hundley, Le Jeune, Francis Walker, H. G. Selous, E. J. Poynter, Dalziel, Thompson, Green, and AVehnert. Messrs. Routledge have just made ancther agreement with Lord Lytton for the right of publishing his novels. Their first agreement was a payment of £20,000 for ten years' copy right. A t the expiration of that time they paid £lO,OOO for a furtiv:..r - five years, and now they have obtained another ter al of six-and-a-half years. The new agreement is to be sir malised by the apTderance of all Lord Lytton's novels in t wo - s hilli ng -v o lur u es, each volume containing a complete r work. .~ throughout the world. .n these 'lectures knd classes the Introductions and Notes to Mr. Davidson's Precedents will be especially referred to. As elementary works, Mr. Joshua Williams's Books on Real and Personal Property are recommended. EQUITY LECTURES, by Sir GEORGE YOUNG, Bart., Barrister-at-Law.

CHARLES INGALL, Actuary. No. 39, King-street, Cheapside, Loudon, December, 1863. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the -extracti©n of roote r -or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth ihat aro loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

Mr. Glyn seems to have had no difficulty in forming a House on Tuesday, albeit we are still within the " octave" of Christmas. About a hundred and twenty members were present, and a little liveliness was imparted to the scene by the applause with which the new Ministers who have obtained re-election were received as they went up to take the oaths. They did not all perform that formality. The Right Hon. John Bright " made affirmation" only, being, as the official records of the House say, " one of the people called Quakers "—one of " my own people," as he would say. It was noticed that the new President of the Board of Trade had received the seal of advancing age during the last few months. His hair has become almost white ; yet otherwise he looks rather younger than older, looks as a man has a right to look who sees the prin ciples for which he has been battling all his life, some times almost singly, but never faintheartedly, triumphant. Having taken his seat on the Trea sury Bench he went away, not alone, but with that one man who of all others most vigorously opposed Mr. Bright's principles—his late antagonist, his present colleague—Mr. Lowe. These two Ministers of the Crown walked together arm in-arm—a sight for politicians and philosophers to ponder over. It was only one of those many results of the Con servative opposition to a mild Reform Bill which has fairly bewildered the county squires who cheered so lustily the denunciations of the member for Caine. A Cabinet Council was held on Tuesday. After that Ministers dispersed. They mean to take a fortnight's holiday, and they will then return to town to work like giants. They are fully alive to the great expectations which they have excited, and they mean to strain every sinew to justify those expectations. Just now the most pressing matter is the Turco-Greek difficulty. This was the main subject of discussion at Tuesday's Council, which was held at the Foreign Office. There is now good hope that war may be avoided. The Conference is considered certain to take place ; some sanguine persons have fixed January 2 for the first meeting. But this is wholly out of the question. All the arrangements have to be made the various plenipotentiaries fixed upon, and the programme drawn up. It is determined that the Conference shall be held at Paris. I cannot state positively who will attend on behalf of this country, but, remembering that Lord Lyons, our Ambassador at Paris, has a special acquaintance with Eastern affairs, derived from his position for some years as Ambassador at Con stantinople, it seems not unlikely that he will be our representative. When Ministers return to town each will have to prepare his contribution to the Ministerial list of measures. This list is likely to be an extended one, and it . will also be marked by a more than ordinary degree of unity. There has not been for many years a Ministry whose members are so thorougly in accord as the present. It may seem strange to say this, remembering that the Cabinet contains Mr. Bright and Mr. Lowe ; but these have almost everything in common. Mr. Lowe was always a Radical so far as political work was concerned; he was not a Radical simply so far as referred to political machinery. ~~ :1) 71, , 4 A-ILnl V E 1.174 1 I. l i ti, AIMI•1101 ).I.II_ ILNERS".
