en= OF TILE PTYBLIO jOITIMALB, The Saturday Review declares that the election com taissioners are prosecuting their inquiries with great zeal, Arnaness, and success. They allow no respect of persons, no arts of electioneering petitioners, no weariness of the petty doting of vice to arrest their searching investiga _ . . _ tions. For once we see what a court can find out in *he way of truth when it is the business of the court to dis- cover the real facts, and not merely to decide on a set of facts that other people choose to present to them. At Beverley the commissioners have laid bare the whole history of a well-contrived scheme for obtaining a control over the parliamentary elections, by using the municipal elections as a means of organising local jobs and bribery. At Norwich the commissioners have tracked out the habits, history, and pursuits of almost every drunken blackguard in the town. But at Bridgwater the commissioners have gone much further. They have caught a teal " Man in the Moon," and made him tell his history. They have ex posed the rascally practices of some of the chief respectabilities of the borough. They have found out how money has been paid, who paid it, and where it came from. They have searched into the secrets of families, and made the wife and sister of a man who was once a member of Parliament come publicly to tell their share in the villanous practices with which the town was tainted. As we read these annals of low meanness, of fraud, lying, and every kind of blackguardism, we are filled with pity and sorrow for the unfortunate community which has been exposed to this degradation, which has been plunged in this sea of immorality, which has had its poor men made drunken, lying, corrupt brutes, and its respect able men accomplices in a series of frauds, all because it had the inexpressible misfortune to be invited to send two members to Parliament. What on earth is there in a seat in the House of Commons which can make it worth while for an honourable man in independent circumstances to try to get there by such odiously dirty paths? Let persons who think a seat in the House worth having at any price meditate on the histories of the late Lord Justice Clerk and of Mr. Westropp. But Mr. Patton knew perfectly well that he did not dare to ask himself or any one else how this money had really gone ; and so, having a sensitive conscience, and not merely an electioneering conscience, and regarding honour as a thing to be prized, he killed himself rather than undergo the ignominy of exposure, and because he felt that, tainted with the moral filth of Bridgwater electioneering, he was not pure .enough to be a judge. Mr. IVestropp was a different sort of man, and in a different sort of position. But he affords an excellent example of tho kind of man who thinks it would be everything for him to get into Parliament, and that for so grand and desirable an end every means is legitimate. It would have been far better for him if he had been a day labourer, and had never found time to be dull amid the difficulties of eig,hteenpence a day. The Spectator says that the Times has invented a theory for Mr. Gladstone's policy in relation to the Church—a theory, indeed, not worked out, if Dr. Temple has indeed been recommended, as we earnestly trust, for the impor tant see of Exeter—but otherwise rather ingeniously applicable to the Prime Minister's appointments. In the present condition of the nation, with so large a party, Which, if not very hostile to the Church, is at least unattached to it, the Times seems to think it good policy to snake the Church as insignificant as possible. Such is the Times' theory of the prudent government of the Church in these days. Surely it is a contemptible one ? If the Church is to be saved only at the price of being insignifi cant, she is to be saved at the price of uselessness, for what good can an insignificant Church do? As Dr. Magee said in his great speech on the Irish Church Bill in the Lords, can any institution hope to live which pleads, "Spare us for this reason, that we are utterly contemptible and entirely contented with our ignoble position ?" Yet that is precisely the reason which the Times suggests that the National Church ought to give the world for sparing it just now. If we believed that it would be efficient—and that the contrary policy—the bold policy of appointing men who have a vigorous belief and a power of making the world feel that belief, to the high places of the Church— would bring the Establishment down, we should say let the Establishment come down as soon as you please, rather than delay its fate on the ground of its harmlessness and imbecility. A Church which does not assail, a Church which hides in a corner and smoothes decently over all difficulties of life, is condemned already. There is nothing in it to save but a name. But we do not believe that the chances of the National Establishment for a vigorous life would be decreased by such a policy With a crowd of men of high mark, both as regards charac ter and intellectual attainments, to choose from, such preachers as Canon Westcott, and Dean Howson, and Mi. Abbott, and Mr. Liddon, and Mr. Wilkinson, of Derby, and Mr. Clarke, of Taunton- -we purposely omit those names -and a on which we are least likely to feel impartiality— number of others, it need surely not have been necessary to select mild nobodies. We du not insist on names of still greater note, which would probably he considered t o o open to attack for the consideration of a semitive Ashe tration—such names as Dean Stanley, fur whose appoint ment to the diocese of Orford we had, however, ventured to hope most earnestly against hope, Professor Maurice, or Canon Kingsley, or Mr. Mockonochic—whose appointment would doubtless bring down the Church, such is the insane bigotry of some of our Church parties. It was hardly to be dreamt of that any minister would have felt strong enough, even though desiring to select loading minds in all schools, to select any of these, with a well-organised religious press to cry him down if he did. But without these decidedly " dangerous " names, surely it would have been possible to find men of the same high mark as Dr Tempie in the other Church parties, who have at least redeemed the Church from any chance of insignificance. If an Establishmontled by strou,g men of different theologi cal views be possible, the Establishment itself is becoming impossible and will have to go. We should do no harm in precipitating the fall of a mere established nonentity. But we do not yet believe that an establishment would bo impossible in which all shades of theological opinion are fairly and vigorously represented. To keep up an Estab lishment professedly embodying different shades of theology is, we know, difficult. But is it so difficult, in an age of both noble and ignoble competition like ours, as to keep up an Establishment embodying adequately no shade of theology at all ? Did ever so fearful a responsibility, asks the John. Bui fall to any one man's lot as that of nominating for his sovereign's approval and the Church's satisfaction half-a dozen prelates at once? Momentous as this responsibility would be at any time, it is doubly so in the present critical state of Church and State. But while we admit that all Mr. Gladstone's nominations are fair and creditable,we utterly fail to discover in them anything to justify the extravagant expectations of his High Church friends. They cannot compare—we are speaking of new bishops—with the nomi- nations of the Conservative Government. A Selwyn, • a Wordsworth, and a Magee are really striking selections for the Episcopate, which Mr. Gladstone has not yet equalled, far less excelled. But while we are thankful for what he has done as to these sees, considering what might have been feared, we can characterise as nothing less than monstrous, as coming from Mr. Gladstone the nomination of Dr. Temple to the see of Exeter. It is an insult to the late venerated Bishop, and a cruel wrong to the diocese, which needs an active prelate, who should be received with open arms. There is no use in simply dealing out anathemas, but we learn on good authority that it is more than probable that the election of the bishop-nominate will be opposed. We shall return to the subject at length next week. The Economist thinks that the use made by the Euro pean Insurance Company of the weapon " Contempt of Court," suggests the propriety of inquiring into the nature and expediency of the rule upon which the Court acts. The press is tolerably well reconciled to the restraints of the law of libel, though it frequently necessitates risks in commenting upon matters which it is the public interest to have comments upon. It is the interest of respectable newspapers rather to limit their comments to general questions suggested by particular transactions than to give these comments a personal bearing But the pro cedure for " Contempt of Court" apparently threatens to put them under a new and far more serious re straint, which may be injurious to the public interest. The case is not much mended if we consider the decision to be not against all comments, but against comments "prejudicing the minds of the public," or w hi c h are argu ments "addressed to the public in opposition to the view put forward" by ono of the parties. There is some force at first sight in the distinction that general questions arising out of a case or suggested by it may be discussed, but that an opinion on the case itself is not to be given. But it is doubtful whether there can be a practical distinc tion; whether the particular case and the general ques tions are not inextricably mixed up. For Ourselves we should always endeavour to treat any points in the most general manner, as we did in this very case, but where is ; the line to be drawn ? Suppose " the general que: tion to be manifestly the vital point of the particular case. would not an opinion u roll it, on the principle laid down, tend to prejudice the public mind, and amount to an assumption of the judgment seat by the newspaper. A newspaper, in short, could hardly say angthidy upon n case which might not be conArued by a jrsitoris judge into an attempt to prejudice the public mind. At any rate if this be the rule, its very vaguenors, by introducin doubt and apprehension, tends to paralyse the press in the discharge of its public service. We do not dispute the expediency of the courts' ordinary jurisdiction for " contempt." A judge must have power to keep order in his own ti ibunal, and also to visit disobe dience to orders, or any interference with the c3urse of his duties, with penalties. More than this, any attempt to dictate to a judge what his opinion should be, to sum up for him and work on the public mind, so as to make the: judge apprehend u.cpopidarity from giving an opposite opinion, would have u tendency to impede him in his daty and ought to be .rizited i. 4 for contempt. Whether the proper party to set the judiT in motion is the litigant is a different matter, test au offence seems plainly involved. But ordinary fair cearin ntie we con tend, although bearing agai.rst one !ride or tes other, are on a different footing. They are 4 , ericrally for the public interest, do not hinder the court in its iiuties do not prevent justice between the ladies. and ought to be ' allowed. LAW AND POLICE. ....-...—vei..- -..--.. THE LAFITTE CourANY.—ln the Chancery Chambers the case of the Charles Lafitto Company has agait come forward. It was stated that' there were sovon Chancery suits in the matter. Some of the defendants, among whom was Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., had not filed their answers, and the Chief Clerk ordered that a month's further time should be given to the present applicant. THE AGRICTLTURAL HALL.—At the Middlesex Sessions an application was made for a licence for music and dancing for the Agricultural Hall, Islington. The applica tion was opposed on behalf of a number of the inhabitants, and Mr. Besley, who represented them, explained that Mr. Cuffin, a churchwarden, who supported it was a large share holder in the Agricultural Hall. The licence was only wanted by those who were interested in increasing the dividends. A discussion ensued during which it was stated that there was now great difficulty in getting respectable female servants in the neighbourhood, as they preferred to starve upon a few shillings a week in order to have the opportunity of attending dancing an,7 'isic halls. The licence was eventually wanted by a majority fl 6 to 14. AN OMNIBUS COMPANY.- -At the Guildhall, an investiga tion is going on into a charge of conspiracy against the London General Omnibus Company, the charge being founded on the system of " nursing" rival omnibuses. Thirty or forty witnesses are to be called for the prosecu tion, besides those for the defence, and the case is expected to last for some days. A FARMER IMPRISONED FOR CRUELTY.-Mr. John Ginger, a farmer, at Hemel Hempsted, has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour for cruelty to his horses. It was proved that three horses were being worked at the plough in a state of great suffering, and the ploughmen when expostulated with said if they refused to work them they would be discharged. The magistrates examined the horses and said it would be a farce to impose a fine on a man who farmed 500 acres besides having private property, and they therefore refused to do so. The foreman was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment, and the ploughmen were fined lls. each and costs. Mr. Ginger and his foreman had been previously fined for a similar offence. THE SUPPOSED MURDER BY TRADERS UNIONISTS. An inquest has been opened at Salford respecting the death of a mason, named James Bunn, aged 30, who died on Tuesday morning under circumstances tending very much to prove that he has been the victim of a trade out rage. Recently the deceased had been employed, along with other masons—non-unionists—in the erection of a gas tank in Liverpool-street, Salford, and was frequently threatened and molested in going to and from his work. On Monday afternoon Burns was in a public house in Regent-road, and was seen in conversation with some men —masons, it would appear from the descrip tion given by the witnesses. Thero were three men, and Burns, seemingly wishful to leave them, was observed to walk rapidly from the house. lie was followed, over taken, and in broad daylight, in the presence of a crowd of spectators, was knocked down, kicked, and finally killed by one of his assailants, more brutal than the remainder, taking hold of the poor fellow's hair, and literally smashing his head upon the flags. No one, with the exception of a female, interfered, although a soldier is stated to have been an unconcerned spectator throughout. Having left Burns in a state of insensibility, and bathed in blood, the men walked quietly away, and, so far, have not been heard of. Burns remained insensible iu the Sal ford Dispensary up to the time of his death. At Oh. inquest his wife told a long and pitiful tale of the persecu tion and fear under which her husband, who had at one time been a unionist, had laboured since he commenced to work during the present bricklayers' and masons' strike in Manchester. A policeman had told her husband that he had been asked to keep out of the way whilst some of the union men gave him a good hiding. Deceased had also told her that a man had come to him whilst at work and informed him that the society had paid men to disable him the first opportunity that night. The inquest was adjourned. REFUSAL TO BURY A DISSENTER'S CHILD. Much excitement now prevails in Cheltenham owing to the refusal of the vicar of Elmstone Hardwicke, near that town, to bury a child on the ground of its father being a Dissenter. Mr. C. Corbett, a well-to-do farmer and mem ber of the Wesleyan connection, wished to have his child buried in the churchyard, where his wife's relatives were interred, and made the necessary arrangements with the sexton. The sexton, however, after applying to the Rev. J. Byron, the vicar, told Mr. Corbett that that gentleman refused to bury the child, giving as hiy reason that it had not been baptised in the church. Mr. Corbett there upon sought an interview with the vicar, Lut was told liit . be would be ab: ent for a time, and was a ferret! to the Rev. W. Loyce, cue of the head masters at the col:ego, who had arranged to do duty for him. Mr. Corbett then went to Mr. Poyce, and that gentleman, though he at first was reluctant to do anything opposed to the wishes of the vicar, whose deputy he was, at length consented to the burial. Mr. Corbett then returned and gave orders for the grave ; but his anxiety was not yet over, for on the very morning of the funeral a note was sent to him saying that Mr. Boyce had made up his mind not to bury the child. Mr. Corbett, upon this second refusal, was about driving into Cheltenham to make other arrange ments for the child's burial, when a second messenger arrived on horseback, to say that Mr. Boyce would bury the child, which he accordingly did ; but the burial had then been delayed a couple of days beyond the time at which it was originally fixed. Annoyed at the treatment he had received, Mr. Corbett wrote to the Bishop of the diocese, stating the circum stances after Mr. Byron's first refusal, and after the burial received the following reply :—" Bamburgh Castle, Belford, Sept. 10. Dear Sir, —Your letter has only just reached me ; it was sent by mistake to Retford, and has come only this morning. I enclose you certain legal extracts. I fear my letter will arrive too late, though not from my fault ; but if it does reach you in time, I feel sure, if you ask Mr. Byron to be pleased to consider the enclosed, that he will not refuse burial. I sympathise with you very deeply on your loss.—Very faithfully yours, C. J GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL Extracts ' No minister shall refuse or delay to bury any corpse that is brought to the churchyard, convenient warning being given, &c., and if he shall refuse to do so, except the party deceased was pronounced excommunicate—majori cum municatione—for some grievous and notorious crime, ho shall be suspended by the bishop of his diocese for three months.' (Cripps, page 666.) ' The clergyman cannot constitute himself a judge of what is and what is not baptism, because that is determined by the law, which he is bound to obey' (Cripps, page 687.) Upon receipt of this letter, Mr. Corbett wrote to Mr. Byron, inclosing a copy of the Bishop's letter, and asking " at your hands some acknowledgment of your error and unkindness towards me in a time of severe trial; and in the event of your refusal I shall make the matter public." Up to the present time Mr. Byron has taken no notice of the communication. The remains of the late Dr. Waldegrave, Bishop of Carlisle, were interred on Friday afternoon in the burial ground at the west end of Carlisle Cathedral, with much solemn pomp. THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORIES.—A telegram from Ottawa states that "the proclamation uniting the North-West territories to Canada is expected to issue shortly. It has been somewhat delayed by necessary arrangements for payment of the purchase money to the Hudson's Bay Company. These have been completed and sent by last mail to England, so that the proclamation may be expected to be made forthwith." This money was to be handed over to the company about th• Ist of the present month, and we understand that it is the intention of the directors to recommend to the pro proprietors, at their meeting to bo held shortly, the divi sion of this amount, which will yield £3 per share. The recent United States award will probably also be divided, and that will give a further D. ss. per share.—Canadian News. HEALTH OF SEWING-MACHINE WORKERS.—The sewing machine has not only produced a revolution in the method of working with needle and thread, but it has also created a special class of nervous diseases among the workers. The " jarring " causes in the young and weakly extreme nervous irritation and depression, headache, and restlessness. In factories the labour of turning the machine—labour which, when badly constructed machines hive to be used, is considerable, and with all machines very irksome—should not be thrown on the workers, many of when► are mere children, since a very small amount of steam-power would turn a large number of the machines. We doubt much if needlewomen are, as a class, much better off than when their sufferings were so tenderly told by' Hood.—Biitish Medical Journal. THE PnisosEß TROPPMANN.—.La Gazette de Tl. bunaux says of Troppmann, accused of the Pantin murders, that he seems occasionally afflicted with monomaniacal vanity. lie is reported to have said the other day, « N ow my name is known throughout all France, and, indeed, throughout Europe, I will authorise a photographer to take my portrait, who will pay me for this privilege 10,000f.,and he will soon make cent. per cent. profit. I shall keop care fully this 10,000 f, or, perhaps not, I will send it to my family, in order that they may emigrate , go to America, anct there amass a fortune." rHE SUN, LONDON, SAT Ut , DAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1869. TEE ALBERT LIFE OFFICE IN INDIA. The Friend of India comments .on the painful position of the Auglo-Indian policy-holders of the Albert. There are 4,000 insurers, and no less than £270,000 is said to have been sent home from Indian branches to thb head office. The assets in Calcutta, over which the local policy-holders have no power, amount to £lOO,OOO. A committee of inquiry had been for some time attempting to obtain information when the eatastaophe occurred, and they have now appointed counsel to act on ther behalf in London. Unity of action among iho scattered Anglo- Indian victims of th© office is the great desideratum at THE nuns. commrssroxs, From the evidence already given at Sligo, it would appear that this Irish borough is steeped in more iniquity than even Beverley or Bridgewater. One man was offered £75 to go away; he afterwards received £25, besides several sovereigns and half-sovereigns from one of Knox's friends, but voted for the Liberal candidate. Another witness stated that the Major asked him whether £5O would do. - Witness answered in the affirmative, although he did not intend to vote on the Conservative side, " he only wanted to take all he could get." A woman named I)unleer7 took £lO from the Conservatives for the purpose of influencing her husband ; she, however changed her mind, and told him to vote for Flanagan. James Devany denied ' receiving money at the last election; bnt pocketed £lO in 1865 for voting for Serjeant Armstrong. Another witness remembered the names of six persons who had told him they got money from the Serjeant—five £l5 each, and. one £2O. misu LAND sauEsiltn. A small Irish landed proprietor, IMr. C. Buxton, M.P., took occasion, at the annual dinner of the North Walsham Agricultural Association, to mention that there could not be a more complete delusion than to suppose that what the Irish were seeking was to secure compensation for the improve ments which they made in their farms. Compensa tion for improvements ought, beyond doubt, to be secured to then but compensation for improvements was not the thing which the Irish tenantry were demanding. The one thing on which their hearts were set was not compensation for improvements, but fixity of tenure. They were resolved no longer to endure the uncertainty, and, as they fancied, the humiliation of being liable to be turned out of their holding at the pleasure of the landlord. This feeling had become an overmastering passion. He advised the Irish tenantry not to ask for absolute permanence of tenure. If they were prudent, they would ask that—at any rate, beyond five acres—the law should not sanction in Ireland any tenure of land except that of leases for at least thirty years, the tenant having power to alienate under proper restrictions, but having no rower to sub-let or sub-divide, and the landlord being bound at the end of the lease to com pensate for improvements, or to renew the lease at the same rental. Such a freedom of contract 'would give rise to inconveniences, but lie could not see that it would be any wild or subversive invasion of the rights of property. Ire believed Irish landlords, as well as the whole Irish nation, would in the long run be the more prosperous and the more happy for such a change. TUE CONTEST IN EAST CHESHIRE. The fight in the eastern division of Cheshire 14 causing intense interest in political circles. Although the Liberal party cannot hope to win the seat, for they have entered on the battle against great odds— they hope that the polling will show an increasing feeling in favour of Liberalism. At a meeting held on Thursday evening, a Mr. Waters stated that from a letter received from his son, in Switzer land, he found that the German papers were watch ing this contest in East Cheshire as a battle between Free Trade and Protection. He believed it would have great influence upon the people of other countries in favour of or against the more general adoption of Free Trade. Regret was expressed at the loss of the late Lord Stanley of Alderley, who was formerly the Liberal leader in the division, and who was carried in triumph at the head of Ile poll in 1832. The polling takes place to-day. THE BISHOPRIC OF CARLISLE. The rumour that the Ven. Archdeacon Durnford has been appointed the new Bishop of Carlisle turns out to be a fabrication. The Mancheeter Courier has authority for stating " that there is no truth whatever in the announcement." Our contemporary does not deny that Archdeacon Durnford has been offered the vacant bishopric ; but he has not boon appointed. DR. TEMPLE AND HIS VOTE. The now Bishop of Exeter has at last succeeded in getting his name placed on the register of voters for North Warwickshire. Last year ho was disqualified through a technicality, but at the Registration Court held at Birmingham yesterday the claim was allowed. It was strongly opposed by the Conservative party, and notice o f appeal against the decision of the revising barrister was given. TilE WOOD-GREEN MURDER. It may be . as well to notice the net result of the examination into the Wood-green murder. The evi dence of the two days entirely contradicted each wofeil her behaved,pri bore offence of living other. On the first day it was asserted that the wo man Maria Death, who lived with Henson, was a good character—save in respect with a man who was not her husband—and that no familiarity between her and Bovd;:the other victim, had been observed. But on the second day it was clearly proved that Maria Death and Boyd had been in London together on the day of the murder, had visited three public-houses, and returned . a home the worse for liquor. They had of some kind - , beyond doubt. been on m The wonderenfdaer is ; neighbours should not have noticed the intrigue , . ibtaetrra thes VACCINATION. The Luton guardians appear to have little faith in vaccination. Though the smallpox has broken out in the town, they determined at their last meeting not to proceed against parents who refused to have their children vaccinated. SCARLET FEVER. Though unable tostate to what extent scarlet fever, i from which London s now suffering, prevails through out the country, the fact that the disease was even more fatal lest week in Liverpool than in London, and almost as much BO in Sheffield and Leeds, g i ves sa y s the Lancet, very strong indica tion that we are passing through one of those periodical epidemics which reveal all the weak places of the country —an advantage which is far too dearly purchased at a lamentable cost of human life. The same journal mentions that a conviction under the Sanitary Act has been obt a i ne d by the Liverpool health officer against the owner of a house for alrow ing the goods of a tenant who had scarlatina in his family, which goods had been seized under a distress for rent, to be removed to a broker's where they were sale ; the broker was also proceeded exagpaionsaedt for and convicted for so exposing infected articles. TUB FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. In presenting his monthly report to the vestry of Marylehone, Dr. Whitmore, the medical officer of health for the district drew attention to the extent to which the, and its effect upon the food of .she foot and mouth disease amongst cattle is peopte. 404 cows kept in Marylebone, 310 have been attacked by the diSta B f) in addition to 85 or 40 others that were removed either on the first appear ance of symptoms or soon after recovery. In several sheds the di sease assu med its most formidable char acter, and ave r y.c o w was attacked by it. Dr. Whit more has not a doubt that the disease is intensely contagious, and is largely spread through the medium of sheep. The secretion of milk does not stop altogether except in the most severe cases when cows are at tacked, and most cowkeepers frankly admit that this milk is mixed with that of healthy cows and sold to their customers. The probability, therefore, is that the inhabitants not only of Marylebone, but of all other districts of London, have been drinking milk from infected an i ma ls for some time past ; but as the weekly ret urns o f sickness from charitable insti tutions show no a ppearance of disease amongst chil dren, the doct or co mes to the conclusion that the risk or danger of drinking such milk is very small. He, however, states it as his duty to urge the wisdom and policy of always throwing away the milk from infected animals. GUAUDIANS AGAIN. Attention is c a ll e d in the Lancet to another instance , of the consid era ti on of guardians for the poor under their car©, Th e au thoril aa of the Bridgivator Union have lately u n d er t a k e n ro find quinine and cod-liver oil for the sick poor • but as every person will be obliged to go for them to the druggist who lives in the town, the boon will be to a large extent valueless, many of the poor living as far away as twenty or twenty-four miles One of the medical officer; has written to complain of this al-lurl arrangement, but the board have decided that they will not interfere with their present plan. THE SUEZ CANAL. Some authorities are beginning to feel dubious as to the opening of the Suez Canal for immediate traffic. No doubt the inauguration will take place as appointed, but it is questioned whether the pasEage will speedily be fit for the regular operation of com merce. It is said that a Liverpool firm sent an agent expressly to survey and report, and, according to his account, the depth of water throughout the canal is very uneaual. $' An Eavntian corvette recently went upIL short distance and stueir last, but In anticipation of such a mishap she had been sent stern foremost, and so came back without difficulty." _ _ THE ALBERT COMPANY. A joint meeting of the London and. Provincial Committee of the Albert Life Assurance Company was held in London on Thursday. Notwithstanding the opposition which has beon shown in some parts of the provinces the bulk of the policy-holders appear to approve of the scheme for working the Albert account by the Alliance Company. The result of Thursday's meeting was that a sub-committee was appointed to conduct negotiations with the Alliance 'W Company. Lord illiam Hay is the chairman of the sub-committee. PREPARATIONS FOR THE (ECUME.NICIU . : COUNCIL. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROME, 3rd October. The Duke and Duchess of Parma (Pia of Naples), arrived here on Friday evening. Her Royal Highness is not far from her confinement, and has preferred Rome for that event that her child may be baptized by the Pope. Royalties are expected in great number this winter. Besides the Neapolitan princes Girgueti, Trani, Tropani, and Caserta, and the King and Queen of Naples, several of the House of Orleans have announced their intention of being present during the Council, and the Queen of Spain is also likely to be the guest of her sister (by the mother's side), the Princess Del Drago. Don Carlos and the Duchess of Madrid, who is the sister of the Duke of Parma, may also very probably pass the winter in Rome; and there is a report that the King of Hanover is coming. No sovereign would be received with more pleasure or with more cordial esteem by Pius IX. than the gallant and unfor tunate George; but, beyond report, I do not vouch for his arrival. The works at St. Peter's are nearly closed in. They form a complete and separate building, the transept and its adjacent chapel being closed by walls of woodwork, covered with scagliola, imitating marble, in the latter divisions, and with crimson serge in the " Aula conciliare" itself. The draperies and tapestries are all that remain to complete the building ; the two tribunes left and right of the Papal Throne, on which so much conjecture has been wasted, are intended for the sovereigns and personages who may wish to be present at the public sittings,andas the above list will shew your readers, are not likely to be left unoccupied. They are the more necessary, as all the public ceremonies from Advent Sunday are to be held, as well as the Session of Council, in the enclosed space, the Sextine being much too small to hold the bishops expected. The French Government will send no special representa tive, as the direct invitation has been addressed to the secular powers, but M. de Banneville has received official instructions regarding the Council from his Government, as has also M. de Trauttmansdorff, the Aus trian Ambassador, who is expected in Rome in a day or two. The chapel adjoining the Hall of Council is being fitted up as a bureau, and also as a room where the bishops can retire for rest, refreshment, or for communication with persons without, if necessary, and whence they can address their letters to their vicars capitular, for which purpose a lithographic press will probably be placed there. The Italian Government has addressed a circular to the Procurators-General on the attendance at tho Council o: the Italian bishops as follows : " Florence, Sept. 30. "As the time approaches indicated for the - meeting of the ecumenical Council in Rome, several of the Italian bishops have addressed the authorities in order to know whether they will be permitted to attend it. "In reply to this demand, and in provision of others in a like sense which may be made, his Majesty's Government declares that it will not oppose any obstacle to the bishops and other ecclesiastics desirous of attending the assembly above mentioned. " The Government, however, while faithful to its prin ciples of religious liberty, intends to reserve, fully and absolutely, its ulterior resolutions on all matters which may clash with the laws of the kingdom or the rights of the State. " You are requested to communicate the above disposi tion to the ordinaries comprised in the district within the jurisdiction of your court, for their rule and guidance, and to acknowledge tho receipt of the present letter to this office (Signed) "PI to " Minister of Grace and Justice!' There can be very little doubt that the decisions of the Council will clash with many of the existing laws of the kingdom of Italy, and short of an abdication of his claims on the annexed provinces, the Pope can hardly expect to steer clear of all questions which may be interpreted as trenching on the rights of Victor Emmanuel. Several of the Irish and English Zouaves in the service of the Pope are about to renew their engagements during the Council, and a large accession of French, Belgian, and Dutch Zouaves are arriving daily. The Earl of Denbigh, the leading member of the London Papal Committee, is expected in Rome early in November. Mgr. Stonor has returned to his duties as military chaplain this week to receive the new recruits of English nationality. FOREIGN NOTES.° 6PLIf. The t7ourn4l Officiel publishes the report of a speech delivered by Marshal Prim in the Spanish Cortes, on the 2nd of -October. Ho declared that the Government had no personal feelings against those who had takownp arms, but that it would do what the country and the Cortes had a right to expect of it to re-establish order. They were under the necessity of having recourse to extraordinary measures, but he promised that they should be employed no longer than was absolutely requisite. He concluded by declaring that the rebels should not triumph, for they could not; and if the Chamber awarded what the Government demanded, order would be speedily re-established. The French papers think that notwithstanding the favourable tone of the dispatches, tho insurrection in Spain is making progress. It is affirmed that the old tactics are resorted to, and the revolutionists will be regarded as bandits and plunderers until their position becomes moro firmly fixed. Complaints are also made of the scanty information that is furnished by the telegrams that are transmitted. It is considered probable that the whole of Spain is now in a state of siege, and that blood flows in all directions. Ctriosity is expressed as to the course that has been taken by the Republicans of the Left, whether they have remained at Madrid to stir up the people, or passed into the provinces to put themselves at the head Of the revolt. Doubts are entertained as to the efficacy of the law that has just been passed by the Cortes for suspending the constitutional guarantees. The dis union which has long existed in the Spanish Government gives riso to want of confidence, and augurs ill for its final success. THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. Venice the Beautiful showed herself worthy of her name in hor reception of the Empress Eug6nie. Her Majesty was greatly impressed by the spectacle of the grand illumination which took place. She remained for more than half-an-hour on the deck of the Aigle to watch the effect of the brilliant lights, and then entered the gondola, and passed on to the Palais Royal, in order to command a more extensive view. Previous to her departure the Empress received a farewell visit from the authorities, and expressed her thanks for the manner in which she had been wel comed. The programme for hor five days visit to Constantinople contains much variety; it includes a call upon the Valid 6 Sultana at Dolmabatchi, a visit to the principal mosques, a gala performance at the opera, two State dinners with the Sultan, and a review of the troops, besides attendance at mass. On the 18th her Majesty will leave for Alexandria, and, after visiting Cairo and ascending the Nile as far as the first cataract, will return to witness the opening of the Suez Canal. COUNT VON MUST. The Chancellor of the Austrian Empire has been present at a banquet given in honour of the 50th anniver sary of the first savings bank in Austria. Count Beust endeavoured, says the Constitutionnel, to imitate the ease and humour generally displayed on such occasions by English Ministers, but it was difficult for German gravity to lend itself to jeux d'esprit. However, the Constitutionnel consoles Count Von Beust by the reflection that one may be a . very able Minister without possessing the ver ve of Lord Palmerston or Mr. Disraeli. The Austrian Minister, after observing that it might seem that the savings bank had no connection with politics, said that in reality it had much in common, for if such pacific institutions were to flourish it could only be by the absence of events which would oblige its depositors to withdraw their funds. It was his task to avert such events as far as possible, and he called upon his audience to remember that he could not conduct affairs properly without their reposing full confi dence in him. SMTATOR 81:73,LNER. Senator Sumner presided over the Republican Convene tion of the State of Massachussetts, and delivered a long address on domestic politics. With respect to Spain and Cuba, he thought the true policy was non-intervention. There was much latitude of opinion with regard to the recognition of belligerents, and ho adopted the interpreta tion which placed all that declare war under the strongest restrictions. Referring to the relations with Eng land, Senator Sumner said that they had received from this country incalculable wrong, and it would be for the English to determine what reparation to make. The question of Canada would always be a cloud on the rela tions of the two rowers. Ile knew little of English liberty who supposed that Canada could be offered as a territorial compensation. Territory might be convoyed, but not a people. Turning to domestic affairs, he said that the negro suffrage amendment was not yet adopted, and it might not be carried in consequence of the Democratic opposition to it. He charged the Democratic party wills being the party of repudiation. The national debt would, he expected, be paid dollar for dollar, principal and interest. NEW ZEALAND, A revolting case of cannibalism is noted by the Southern Cross. Tho report, which reached that I aper by way of Tamanga, is to the effect that the scouts of the friendly Maori Chief, Marsh Brown, had discovered the spot where Captains Travers and White were buried at Ruatahana by a board placed in a conspicuous part of the path. Upon inspection it was found that it bore writing in Maori, which had been translated as follows :--77" Friends: we have been to Ruatahana, and have disinterred the bodies of the Europeans who were buri« - .. there. I have eaten them. The pakeha3 are very fat. TAMI KOWIIETI."--Tho Southern Cross says that many of those who belong to the class known as " Maori doctors " think that the board was set up merely as a piece of bravado. Others believe the report to be true. • THE HIGH TIDES. The tides, about which so much was sail, have happily proved a failure so far. The tide at Mill bank and other low-ling borders of the Thames was on Thursday not so high as it has been on the occa sion of ordinary spring tides. It now seems to be generally held that, whatever danger might have arisen from the exceptional positions of the sun and moon at this particular juncture, has been averted by the absence of strong westerly winds and the unusual mildness of the weather. Intelligence from all parts confirms this view. THE 1864 CABLE. Operations with the Atlantic Cable , of 1860 are not very promising just now. This cable has been injured at the shore end near-Valentia, and for some time a steamer has been employed in the attempt to lift and repair it. A. day or two ago the cable was grappled and brought up, but while the crew was hauhng it in it broke and fell back in 150 fathoms of water. This is the fifth time it has been broken. Of course this accident must render future operations still more tedious and difficult. TILE GUARDIANS AND THE LAND The Dublin Guardians have just had the land question under consideration. It was expected that the debate would be extremely severe, for political parties are pretty equally represented in the Board, and guardians, it is known, when they do fight, fight stoutly. But the proceedings turned out to be of the most harmonious description. A resolution of a mild sort, claiming for the agricultural tenant "that right of continuous occupancy which will stimulate him in his industry," but promising full pmtectlon to the vroprietary rights of the landlords— was made the subject of a very temperate discussion. Some of the guardians wanted Government loans to enable the tenant to buy land ; others thought fixity of tenure the great remedy; others held that landlords ought to claim to improve the land them selves, instead of letting it at a moderate rent, and then increasing the price as soon as the tenant had made improvements. But everybody felt disposed to agree to the safe resolution on which the debate had been grounded. THE CARDIFF ABDUCTION CASE. The solicitor to the Rev. Mr. Thomas referring to the proposal to appoint a guardian for Esther Lyons, the heroine of the Cardiff abduction case, writes to say that Miss Lyons refuses to return to her relatives, even if her brdther were appointed her guardian. She is willing to attend Wort) the Vico-Chancellor, to state in person her strong objection to the appoint ment of any of her family or other relatives as guar dians of her person. AMERICAN LEANING TOWARDS ENGLAND. It is often said that English institutions aro be coming Americanised ; but the Standard is finding out that American institutions aro equally becoming Englishised. Here are some of the signs which the Conservative journal thinks conclusive. Hotels in the English fashion are springing up. Servants are beginning to wear liveries in the United States. Dining at six, seven, and eight is fast superseding the one, two, and three o'clock dinners of Republican life. An American University has just conferred its highest honorary degdegree upon an English clergyman. When the' ) Harvard crew came to Putney, they built a boat on the English model. These are, indeed, formidable symptoms of a return to monarchical principles, for, as our contem porary notes, "it is in little things that changes in national sentiment are first observable." It is well that changes in national sentiment are not observable in great things ; otherwise the Reform Bill of 1867 might be considered a stop in the American direction. But what is a democratic suffrage to race-boats, dining, liveries, and hotels ? OBITL'AItY. On Thursday morning Lord Manor, one of the Scotch Judes of the Court of Session, was found dead in bed in his house at Edinburgh. The gas was burning, and a book was by his side. It is supposed that death was brought on by heart disease. Lord Manor, whose family name was Dundas, was elevated to the Bench about a year ago, and had acted as Junior Lord Ordinary. Previous to his appointment as a Judge in the Court of Session ho was Sheriff of Sel kirkshire. MISCELLANF.OUS NEWS. (Front the Anglo-American Times) The latest news from Madrid is up to Thursday evening, and gives of course the official account of the operations against the insurgents. That the revolution in Spain is of a very formidable cha racter is evident from the course taken by the Re publican deputies, and the angry opposition offered by Marshal Prim. Poor Spain ! whether she de serves her troubles or not they are hard to bear, while falling thus heavily on that misgoverned land. " Official despatches state that everywhere the insurgents are giving in their submission to the Government. The Band under Deputy Moguero has been defeated, and Moguero himself has sur rendered. The volunteers have been disarmed in all the capital towns of the provinces, with the ex ception of Madrid, where they express a desire to maintain public order." The movement for the release of the Fenian pri soners has greatly increased in strength, and the London papers are now seriously opposing a de mand at which they before sneered. Mr. Moore, an Irish member, takes the most active part, and threatens, if attention be not paid to the applica tion for the release, to lecture in Paris and New York, denouncing the cruelty of the English Go vernment. The Rev. Paul Bagley, whose absence from London will doubtless be a great relief to the American Embassy, has carried to the President at Washington all the correspondence on the subject he could gather. Next Tuesday some elections of great interest will be decided, as several of the States on that day send their citizens to the polls. Chief among them is Pennsylvania, ranking second in the Union, and next to her Ohio, the third State in population and wealth. The contest in Pennsylvania is between General Geary, the present Republican Governor, and Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate. The former was a successful soldier in the war; the latter is a successful coal-mine owner, counting his wealth by millions of dollars. In Ohio the contest is between General Hays, another good Union soldier, as also the present Republican Governor, and Geo. H. Pendleton, the best known of the Democratic leaders, whose views are so thoroughly Copperhead, that, although the favourite with his party during the last Presidential election, they were considered too decided for success, on which Governor Seymour was substituted. One greatquestion involved in the Ohio election isßepudiation,of which Pendleton is the lead ing advocate. Another appears to be Free Trade ; a third, and the most important, is the principle of equal rights involved in the Fifteenth Amendment, of which the election of Pendleton would signify the defeat in Ohio. In Pennsylvania Asa Packer ought, by the instinct of self-preservation, to oppose both Repudiation and Free Trade ; but although he will, we have reason to believe, be supported by the Free traders of Pennsylvania, no one supposes him to be the advocate of a doctrine whose success would be more injurious to Pennsylvania than to any other State of the Union. Nor can he be supposed to favour the payment of the bonds he holds for an enormous sum, in greenbacks, instead of gold. It was rumoured at Washington that Secretary Cox would leave the Cabinet in December, as he has been offered one of the nine Circuit Judgeships provided for by the last Congress. General Sher man, at the Cabinet meeting on the 24th Septem ber, occupied General Rawlins's old seat. The subjects discussed were the Cuban question and the financial disturbances at the moment raging in New York. Secretary Boutwell had received on the previ ous day numerous telegrams from leading brokers, urging suggestions for breaking down the " bull" combination, and the Secretary was represented as confident that he would soon be able to defeat and ruin the clique. What the Secretary really intended was, we presume, to avail himself of the high price to which the combination had raised the precious metal to get as large an amount of greenbacks as pos sible for what he had to sell. Gen. Grant had a long interview with the Attorney-General on the day pre ceding the Cabinet meeting. Ile has made the following appointments :—E. M'B. Timoney to be Consul at Tumbes and Peru, and Eugene Schuyler of New York Consul at Revel. The story set afloat by a Havre paper about the United States frigate Sabine went the rounds first of Europe, and, being telegraphed at once to America, created there no small surprise. Some papers, always ready to assert the superiority of their intelligence, undertook to slate the exact amount of truth it contained; and one gave full particulars. It was not, then, till letters from the crew reached their homes that the facts were positively ascertained, and we give the words of one of these. The wife of Lieut.-Commander Ryan, of Boston, an officer then on board the frigate &thine, received letters from him on Monday, Sept. 20, written after the arrival of the ship at Lisbon, i❑ which he says : " Thoro has been a most ridiculous canard published about us in a Paris paper which I suppose has, ere this, been telegraphed home—something about the discovery of a conspiracy to blow up the ship and the hanging of seven men. In whose fertile brain the story originated I cannot imagine. Nothing has occurred to give it the slightest foundation." The King of Prussia returned to Berlin on the morning of the 6th October, and opened the Land tag in person. llis speech was curt, and to the point. The receipts are short, the expenditure are in excess, therefore it is impossible to make both ends meet, and " my Government will consequently be . _ obliged to demand an increase of taxation, in order to cover the expenses of the Administration." Having freely announced this, coupled with his - - confidence that their consent would not be refused to the proposals, his Majesty gave . _ a sketch of the Bills about to be sub- mitted. First, there is a bill modifying the in come tax ; second, one about a new departmental constitution, eventually to embrace the kingdom, throwing municipal government into the hands of the people hitherto reserved to officials ; third, an educational bill ; and lastly, bills to extend roads and railways, on which the King regrets insuffi ciency of the revenue imposes restrictions. rhero is the usual talk about the peace of Europe and the delight manifested by his subjects at the sight of his royal person, when the King closed his pithy address. The Spirit of the Times attributes the break-down of the ocean match between the Dauntless and the Cambria to Mr. Ashbury having declined to sail on the 21st of September, when Mr. Bennett would have been ready to do so, on account of the equi noxial storm. Although the Spirit makes light of the cause, we dare say Mr. Bennett can, by this time, show that there was reason in the objection. The Dauntless was, we believe, caught in one of these gales shortly after the time named, and it was at one time feared that she had been lost. A gale that sent to the bottom such a vessel as the 1►c(1 Jacket would make it very dangerous work for over-sparred yachts running a race. On the sub ject of the international boat race the Spirit observes:-- "Harvard lighted a train which has fired the hearts of our youth, and now they are to work with a spirit never believed possible. fru°, a great deal of the activity just now displayed is the offspring of excitement, and will cul minate with the subsidence of that excitement. But the fire which has been kindled will not die out, though the intensity with which it now burns receive a check. The true oarsmen will ever keep in good part the vantage ground now gained through the international race. Old boating organizations have had their membership increased and their treasuries filled as never before, and new clubs formed where similar organizations were never known. The patrons of aquatic amusements number thousands to day to one a few months ago. In a country abounding in river streams and lakes, with an ocean frontage of throe thousand miles, studded with bays, it is the only wonder that we should have lived until to-day before the thing was done. But the good work has begun, and for its be ginning we are indebted to the Harvard crew. Now lot it go on." _ - The people in London and Liverpool express their disappointment at not being drowned. During the last few weeks they had made up their minds for some such catastrophe, and in the fact that no one was drowned by an inundation they recognise something in the light of a "sell." Those who have done no more tbau await the inundation can afford to regard with philosophy the low character of the tidal flood, but those who expended money and labour in a useless preparation are loud in their denunciation of Mr. Saxby and other alarmists who frightened them into what they consider not only a waste, but a false position. Another set of wiseacres made a journey to see the Mersey overflow its banks and the country swamped, but as the Mersey would not over flow its banks, they felt like persons who paid for admission• to a theatre to see a piece on which the curtain never rose, and entitled to express the most unqualified disapprobation of those who had led them to expect the treat of witnessing the pro perty of their neighbours destroyed. A hard gale of wind might have made all the difference, and more than justified Mr. Saxhy's predictions ; but, fortunately, the weather has been unusually calm, and the water rose little above the ordinary spring tides. The following facts do not bear out the assertion of the Washington Government that their ships of war were being prepared for sea for no other purpose than their better preservation. Twenty-four iron dads are now in a sea-going condition and ready for use. By December 15th twenty sloops and frigates will be ready for service, and the Navy will then be on a complete war footing. Orders have been received in New York for several war vessels immediately to be fitted out for duty in the Cuban waters, of which one is the Dictator. The Terror, an ironclad steamer at Boston, was to be im mediately commissioned, and the Chattanooga and the Swatara are being prepared at the Philadelphia navy-yard; even the Powhattan, which had just returned from a three years' cruise, is among these vessels, as well as the Albany. It is to be regretted that Sadler was prevented, as one of the Thames crew of the champion four oared race, who are awaiting the settlement of the international sculling match, to go into practice, from delaying the international match, arranged for Thursday, until Walter Brown, the American scul ler, was in a state to row. As Sadler could not wait, and as Brown, on account of boils, could not row, all the money deposited was forfeited, and Sadler in the evening pulled over the course, under instructions of the referee, Mr. J. Ireland, of the London Rowing Club. Although Sadler is not un willing to renew the match, Mr. Brown, not being able to remain so long, has to go back to America, bitterly disappointed after his journey that such a cause should have disabled him, when otherwise physically well fitted for the task. While no rule has been infringed, we would rather have seen the code more generously interpreted in favour of the gal lant stranger, if possible ; and it is a thousand pities that Brown could not have been allowed a week to give him a chance of recovery. Kelley, the chain pion, is about to pay a visit to America, where his kindness and warm encouragement to the Harvard boys, when at Putney training for their great match, will ensure him a hospitable reception. The telegram announcing the statement of the Public Debt, made by the Secretary of the Trea sury, shows its total to be $2,468,500,000, repre senting a decrease, during the last month, of $7,500,000, and a decrease, since Marcia Ist, of $57,500,000. The total of bonds bought by the Treasury, and their accrued interest, amount to $51,000,000. The coin in the Treasury is $109,000,000, and the currency $6,500,000. in Al though not equal to the anticipated decrease the middle of the month, it exceeds what was looked for towards the end of the month, of ter some very heavy payments had been made. of Portland, will probably (;e n General r Governor be G e orge F Ch . rin S ib l e l i e l p a l ii e irs ' selection for 0(1 interim Senator to fill the place of the late William Pitt Fossonden, and it appears that the Governor may himself then be a candidate for the office. The Richmond Despatch supports General Robert Williams for ono of the Unit e d St a t es S ena tors from Virginia. Tho Virginia State Central Con servative Committee have advised against the election of United States Senators at the meeting of the Virginia Legislature on October 5. The speech of Senator Sumner to the Republican Convention at Massachusetts on the 22d September was an address as interesting as eloquent. It was de livered iu the Senator's best style, and carried those who heard it and were familiar with his career back to the years 184 G and 1848. Throughout it was marked with care and moderation. Ho first discussed home affairs, and then the relations of America with Spain and Cuba, and with England and Canada. He recognised the broad principle that America can best conquer through peace. He considered the man blind who did not discern the pro' cession of events which would end in spreading the Re' public from the Frozen Sea to the Mexican Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, forming a confederation, one and indivisible, with a common constitution, a common liberty and a common glory. Towards Cuba be would maintain an attitude of non-intervention. Ho described what he considered to be a belligerency which might honestly be recognized, and he did not believe that the insurgents in Cuba had yet attained to that position. He Ul u : pathized deeply with the Cubans, and he likened Spain to a nation engaged in the comedy, on the one side of hunting a king, and on the other in the tragedy 01 sending armies ;against Cuba, both of which, if wise, O a would give up, and in neither of which did he desire to take part. He reviewed the wrongs suffered by America at the bands of England, approaching the subject wit h pain, and discussing it with moderation. In doing o° ' except in the Senate, be broke a vow with himself. g e remembered how British anger had been aroused by ° former effort, though pacific to those who hoard it, and 103 could not tell how his few words might now be miscon strued. The English argument had not impaired the justice of the American complaint. Sentimental damsel it was said, could not be assessed, and the case was dish missed as having no other foundation. The complsi?" was for damages directly due to England. It was a di e paragement of international law to say there was no rerasdf when so many could testify to thowrong. While recogniz ll3 ! ' v/ 11 the many good friends America had in England, corpe r° England only could be taken into account, through °°. Government the United States had suffered. While Fr ase' erred equally in recognition, no pirate ships or blockade runners were built there to prey upon American cony:not which made all the difference. He hoped for such a°. tlement as would both promote good-will an d make t ° , best precedent for civilisation. The whisper of conW eli , sation by the transfer of Canada was not possible, s 0 ° l r a ritory might be conveyed,but not a people. Canada ' , W i g ' in the fulness of time enter the Union with the good -4 of the mother country and the accord of both parties, be the harbinger of infinite good—a union clearly ° ll aeon by the late Richard Cobden. 7 IIE AU7UIIIN HANDICAPS.
