REPORT OF TFIE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, EsQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particular from that laid before then, in 1868. no income of the year, it will be seen, amounts t f 510,499 18s., and the total charge to £445,077 108. 9d The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, raised that item to .£1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a txifie to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed 03 a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management are greater by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are:only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JuN 30, 1869. DR. LIABILITIES.

JULES PAYEE'S residence by the leading Deputies of the Left, that is, by the chiefs of the Opposition in the Corps Legislatif ; the other at Clichy by the out of door supporters (?) of the Opposition. The contrast presented to view by those two assemblages was sufficiently remarkable. That which took place at M. PAYEE'S was so orderly —that which took place at Clichy was so exactly the reverse. All the Paris members were at the former, saving only M. THIERS, who is known to be still absent in the south of France. Four provincial De puties alone were iu attendance at the Clichy gathering, but they were just exactly four too many, everything considered. Than the decision arrived at by the Leaders of the Opposition, under the guidance of the temperate but resolute councils of M. JULES FAVRE, nothing could possibly be more plain-spoken, more unflinching, or more thoroughly uncomprom!sirg. Whereas in regard to the whole of the proceedings of the Democratic rabble, collected in the place of as sembly in Clichy, it may be said, with equal precision and accuracy, that nothing could well have been at once more uproarious or more utterly disgraceful. After announcing that the Deputies of the Left will not repair to the Chambers on the 26th instant, that is, on Friday next, the docu ment, which is signed by twenty of the most notable names among the Chiefs of the Opposition, declares distinctly in behalf of the whole of the De puties of the Left :•—" We have resolved to wait for the actual opening of the next Session. Then we shall call the Executive to account for this new in sult to the nation. [This insult—having reference, evidently to a prior -sentence in the document, run ning as follows :—" That Constitution which the Government thinks fit to undo with its own hands, we have been obliged to submit to, and we ought not to attempt to restore it by taking up its defence."] Then we shall show by the very experiment which has been made during the last three months that the personal power, while pretending to give way in presence of the public reprobation, has never ceased to act and speak in the character of a master. Then we shall pursue on the ground of universal suffrage and national sovereignty —the only one that can henceforth subsist—the work of Democratic and Radical Reform, the flag of which has been placed by the people in our hands." The names signed to this document—which is like a throwing down of the gauntlet before the lists are opened—are sufficiently important to be specified here, as they are given at the close of it alphabeti cally, They are those of Messeurs BANCEL, BETH- If ONT, DESSEAUX, DORIAN, ESQUIROS, JULES FAVRE, JULES FERRY, G AMBETTA, GREVY, GARNIER-PAGES, GUTOT-MONTPAYROUX, DE JOUVENCEL, LARRIEU, LE CESNE MA GRIN, ORDINAIRE, E. PELLETAN, E. PICARD, JULES SIONON, and TACHARD. Contrasting wonderfully with the cool determination manifested thus by the De puties of the Left in the presence of the serried forces of the Imperial Government, the meeting which took place simultaneously at Clichy was one characterised throughout by the most dire incoherence, extrava gance, and fatuity. The very summonses addressed by its promoters to the chiefs of the Opposition, com manding their attendance in the most peremptory and insulting language, was of itself nothing less than a public outrage. Two only of those leading members of the Gauche were guilty of the Gaucherie of actually sending their apologies for their non littendance ! Those two being M. PICARD and M. GAMBETTA. M. GARNIER PAGES disdained to make any acknowledgment whatever of so insolent a communication. M. JULES PAYEE, bearding not the lion in his den, but the cur in his kennel, wrote laconically in reply—" Gentlemen,—l am not used to receive, still less to obey, summonses couched in such terms as that you have sent me. You will, therefore, not be surprised if I do not keep the appointment you give me. (Signed) JULES FAVRE." The reading of this disdainful reply was the signal for a roar of execrations, yells, groans, and hisses,prolonged:and tumultuous. The four obsequious deputies who were there meekly in attend ance obtained the welcome they richly merited: They were received in profound silence by an as semblage not very far short of one thousand persons, who were crammed together in one apart ment barely constructed to contain one quarter of the number. One of them, M. PELLETAN, on twice en deavouring to ascend the rostrum for the purpose of addressing the uproarious demonstration, was denied a hearing, by a choral hubbub, the time of which was marked throughout by the clanging of the bell allotted to the chairman, simply for the purpose of sustaining rather than of suppressing the turmoil of the meet ing over which he presided. Happily for the inte rests of the great party of the Opposition thioughout France, the councils of the Left will be guided in the Corps Legislatif by more serene and temperate judgments than those of the brawling Democrats who brought disgrace upon Monday's gathering at Clichy. To the South Derbyshire coroner must be accorded the merit of having conducted one of the most remarkable enquiries on record. The duty of finding fault with judicial proceedings —even so primitive a procedure as a coroner's inquest—is painful and deli cate ; but when the jury themselves publicly com plain it is high time for investigation. The disclosures made respecting the inquest on the railway accident near Long Eaton, on the Midland line, leave no doubt that the investigation was entirely one-sided and un satisfactory. The occurrence which gave rise to this strange judicial comedy will be still fresh in the public mind. On Saturday a long excursion train left Nottingham for Leicester at thirty five minutes past eleven in the evening. Half-past eleven was the hour regularly fixed for the despatch of the ordinary mail train ; but this latter did not start until twenty minutes to twelve—that is, just five minutes after the slow and heavily-weighted special had gone on before it. The driver of the mail tells us that he ran cautiously, knowing what was before him. But though he restrained the speed of his engine to twenty miles an hour, he gained so rapidly on the excursion train that, in a very brief space, the interval of five minutes—if it ever was five— was reduced to two. The excursion train crept slowly on until it approached Long Eaton Junction, when two sets of fog signals assured the driver that danger was ahead. In fact, the traffic on the line had been involved—by what means it remains for the Midland Company to chew—in, extraordinary con fusion. Foremost of all, and nearest Long Eaton, was a broken down luggage train. Next came a second excursion train, which had wandered from Burton that night, and had been brought to a stand by the broken-down collection of luggage vans. Third was the original and doetaed excursion train, which had pulled up in obedience to the fog signals. List was the swift mail. The driver of this fourth train kept his time punctually, waited as long as he could for the special to get forward, then ran on, and was informed that the excursion train was just in front. The mail slackened, but not in time. There was a dense fog at the time, and the driver and guard were unable to see the block ahead until within ten or twelve yards. The crash came, and the lives of the excursionists were sacrificed to the error and negligence of the railway authorities. The very fact that these four trains were brought, so to speak, "all in a heap" seemed sufficient proof that the arrangements had been defective. And not only was the traffic in this strange complexitv, but the arrangement was the most dangerous that could have been selected. The luggage train, the slowest of the four, was first ; the mail, the swiftest, was last. There was no possibi lity under the circumstances for,the unhappy special from Nottingham to escape ; for if the driver had disregarded the fog-signals, and had run on, he would have destroyed the Burton train; whereas by remaining, the unfortunate people in his own charge suffered. Surely both the system, or want of system, starting the trains, and the conduct of the mail driver, in going forward after he had been informed of the confusion ahead of him, demanded an inquiry. And how did the South Derbyshire coroner con duct the much-needed investigation ? Various sinister reports of this remarkable inquest have leaked out day by day since the accident ; but, at last, "An Indignant Juryman " has published a concise account of the whole affair. The inquiry pro ceeded until the relatives of the deceased and various railway servants—drivers and guards—had been heard, but no independent testimony whatever had been given respecting the cause of the disaster. Yet at this point the Coroner thought there was sufficient evidence upon, which to form a decision, and proceeded to'` sinn up. One juror desired to learn how the higgage-train had broken down, and how the excursion train from Burton had managed to get between the goods' and the special trains; but no testimony on these im portant points was called. Another thought the pointsman at Long Eaton Junction ought to be summoned, but the coroner " consi dered there was sufficient evidence without" Then—strange to relate—Mr. ALLPORT, the general manager of the company, delivered a neat and to x impressive excess address jury, attributing the acci dent essof caution te on the part of the officials. "They could not blame men for being exceedingly cautious; but still his opinion was that excessive caution had caused the disaster." Surely, 44. Ilir. ALLPORT did not appear as a witness he ought not to have been thejury lik e a s p ec i a l p l ea d er , needful, he mi g ht, a t l eas t, h ave p o e r r i m f i h t i t s e d opinionto add r w e a s s s given his reasons. Who displayed " excessive caution's on that fatal Saturday night no one, save Mr. ALLPORT, has been able to discover. When the coroner had finished his summing up, the jury re tired to consider their verdict. They could not agree. Two-thirds were for the decision of "Accidental Death," but the remainder, includi ng " A n I n di gnan t Juryman," wished to call Dore e v id ence . O ne man was heard, and still, no result could be obtained. The coroner informed them that he " could stay no longer ;" if they did not agree they must be locked up for the night. Even this delicate intima tion did not content the obstinate men who deemed an adjournment necessary to elucidate the facts; and at length the worthy South Derbyshire seeker after truth stated that it only needed two-thirds of the eighteen jurors to establish a valid decision. " This had the desired effect, for while some of us . were still deliberating one of the jury informed the foreman that twelve of them were agreed for 'Acci dental Death.' The foreman at once declared the verdict, and to our surprise was signing, with other jurors, the necessary papers before we were aware of the verdict having been given." Surely a " coroner's 'quest " of this kind ought not to be allowed to defeat the ends of justice. Without in any way prejudicing the issue of a full inquiry, there can be no hesitatim in affirming that a full inquiry was sorely needed, and' that the coroner's inquest has not supplied the want. Why should not the result of the Government inquiry on Saturday be made known ? THE Archbishop of YORK'S appeal to the clergy to lend their assistance in the cause of temperance has already produced good fruit. More than one eminent clergyman of the Established Church has been stimulated by the well-timed exhortation at the Liver pool Congress. The Bishop of ELY has just brought the importance of this work before the notice of his clergy ; and Dr. TEMPLE is to be-reckoned amongst the latest acquisitions to the ranks of the United Kingdom Alliance. He is not a complete convert. The Bishop-D es i gna t e of E xe t er i s no t a t o t a l abstainer, nor c an h e at present give unqualified ad herence to the a i ms an d programme o f th e Alli ance . But a prelate who, like Dr. TEMPLE, does not drink any intoxicating drink more than once a month can be in no way impressed with the merits of alcoholic liquors. And the right rev. doctor is fully alive to the unlimited evil wrought by what is unfortunately, but truly, described as " the national vice." The mission of the Association for the sup pression of the liquor traffic is quite exten sive enough to admit the co-operation of all such as these. There will be a day, doubtless, when the uncompromising and the best doctrine will prevail ; but until the minds of men are brought round there must be toleration. He who still ho . ,a, that there ought to be means of obtaining intoxicating liquors if a man choose to get them; but perceives the evil of unrestrained traffic and unlimited temptation, , and is ready to assist in imposing restrictions, is an ally well worth having. There need be no fear of the ulti mate result. The aid of Dr. TEMPLE is of especial value as one of the first leading advocates the Alliance has gained from the Church. Men of most sects and parties have joined the movement, but the Establishment has hitherto held aloof. Her powerful adhexence ought to decide the battle, TEE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN DE 7VOUNCIE G THE HOUSE OF LORDS, Tho Archbishop of Dublin on Tuesday delivered his visi tation address. Referring to the Church Disestablishment Act, ho said that they could not but regret that the House of Lords (although morefor their own sake than for the Church) dial not from the first declare their inability to do anything ffectual in our Lehalf. Had they avowed from the beginning that they were but as the porcelain jar, and the House of Commons the iron vessel, and that a collision between the two must, at any sacrifice, be avoided, ono might have re aretted that their real power was not more commensurate with that which the theory of the Constitution assigned to them, but none could have been so unreasonable as to find fault with the weak for owning themselves such. It was a pity they promised so much and performed SO little. It excited a painful surprise to ace the manner in wleich the House of Lords gave way, amid the mutual con 7ratulations of its members, and as though they were ac complishing a feat the most glorious, everybody extolling everybody else, the consciousness of loving extricated itself from a posi:ioe of embarrassment rousing in it a delight intense enough to swallow up every thought of the poor Irish Church at the expense of which this extrication has been effected. "As I live over again," said his grace, "that memorable night, I feel that it is not wo who have lost and suffered the most." He "was bold to prophesy that the struggle on the Irish Church Dill will be the very last in which the House of Lords will ever venture even to appear to cross or thwart the will of the House of Commons in any mittor of high national signi ficance." THE BISHOP OF ROCHTSTER ON THE POWER OF THE CLERGYM.EJ.V. The Bishop of Rochester (Dr. Claughton) address ing his clergy at his Cathedral on Tuesday, said :—"We, constantly viewing the work in which we are engaged from our own standpoint, as ministers, are sometimes apt to forget what our people have a right to expect from us. The words of the Apostle Paul ought to be in our thoughts continually—' Ourselves your servants for Christ's sake.' I think we are apt to strain the Apostle's injunction to them to obey us, and to forget his frequent remindings to us that we serve them ? They have the fullest right to ex pect from us that our ministrations to them shall be such as they are well prepared to receive ; nothing thrust upon them unawares. If they have grown up with a certain form of service, that should not be changed sud denly, nor without full explanation ; nor without their consent duly asked Lid sought. Some in every con gregation have little taste and relish for a higher ser vice than that which has become familiar to them by long use. Some may bo ready to stumble at the first cause of offence. What if they stumble to their fall ? What if a weak brother perish ? Can our zeal to effect ever so desirable alterations in the manner of worship be weighed in the balance against such an offence? I think not. I speak with no leaning for or against any party, Such offences are caused by men of all parties through in considerateness," TEE ROYAL COMMISSION AT BEVERLEY. The Beverley election inquiry, which has already attained sufficient notoriety by the character of the evi dence elicited, gave rise, on the thirtieth day of the pro ceedings, to an extraordinary scene in court. The repre sentatives of Sir Henry Edwards objected to the Commissioners as not being a legally constituted court. The Commissioners, on the other hand, objected to hear the counsel, as Sir Henry had no locus standi. This interchange of amenities between Commissioners and counsel, each disputing the other's legal position, went on for a considerable time. The Commissioners, it will be remembered, refused to examine Sir Henry Edwards upon oath, and accordingly when Serjeant Sleigh and two other barristers, accompanied by Sir Henry, entered the court, they were questioned as to the capacity in which they appeared. Having stated that they represented Sir Henry, the Commissioners denied their right to appear. "If the Commissioners will bear with me for a few minutes," exclaimed Serjeant Sleigh, I cannot help thinking they will feel-" " Never mind what you think they will feel," cried a pitiless Commissioner; "Have you any authority to show that Sir Henry Edwards has any locus standi in this court, we having refused to hear him ?" Presently, however, Mr. Sleigh had his revenge, and in most courtly phraseology he intimated to the Commissioners that the Commission was defunct on the 27th of September, and that if he had no locus standi, they had no existence or legal vitality whatever, The Commissioners, who, whatever their figu rative degree of vitality, appeared to have plenty of actual energy remaining, disputed this assertion very strenuously, and as they found it difficult to silence their legal executioner, they proceeded to give positive proof of their powers by ordering his removal from the court. Here, however, a little difficulty arose. The Chief Constable became troubled in his mind at the confusion of authorities, and between a non-existent court and a barrister without locus stantli grew apprehensive that by obeying the orders of these intangible perscns he would become personally in volved in seine disobedience to more definitely-consti tuted authorities. " I should like to know," he said, pitifully, " whether the Ccmmissioners will hold me from harm if I touch Mr. Sleigh." Naturally an astute practitioner like Mr. Serjeant Sleigh was quick to perceive his advantage, and he cried, "If any one removes me he does it entirely at his own peril ; I am herons one of her Majesty's counsel.' Mr. Cox, finding the refractory counsel was not to be over awed, tried mild remonstrance. " Mr. Serjeant Sleigh, think what an example you are setting." The appeal was in vain. Mr. Sleigh thought he was doing quite right, as he was going to point out to the Commissioners that they had no legal vitality. This renewal of the affront aroused the flagging energies of the Commis sioners, and the superintendent of police was ordered to remove Serjeant Sleigh, but that worthy official, overawed by the silk gown, very decidedly declined to act. Upon this arose another perplexity in this unsub stantial court. Was the superintendent of police an officer cf the court? naked the Mayor. The Chief Constable, whose faith in everyone's official position was evidently rudely shaken, said he had no formal appointment. The Commissioners upon this gave way, and adjourned the court for deliberation. No sooner had they retired than a passage of arms occurred between Mr. Hind and Serjeant Sleigh, the former declaring that Mr. Edwards had perse cuted him for ten years, and £l,OOO had already been spent on the inquiry. The Mayor interfered, and the confusion grew a little worse confounded than ever. When the Commissioners returned they had come to the decision that the legal gentlemen had no locus standi. Serjeant Sleigh, thinking apparently he had gone far enough, retired under protest with his friends, and the inquiry proceeded, the evidence of Mr. Daniel Keane, brother of Mr. David Keane, Q.C., being taken. EARLY WINTER.—On Wednesday morning ic6 was gathered from some of the Hampstead ponds, for sale to various fishmongers. The death is announced at Paris of Mr. J. R.

The Prince of - Wales has expressed to the Mayor of Chester the satisfaction he derived from the complete ness of the arrangements on the occasion of his recent visit to that city, and has forwarded 50 guineas for distribution in charitable purposes. Although familiarity may not always breed con tempt, yet it often begets indifference. I saw an instance of this the other day, when my friend Peter Paul Pictor, R.A., was walking with the Dean of -, round the Close. Pictor was looking at the effects of light and shade prnw duced by the grand mass of the old cathedral, and said to his companion, " flow well the cathedral looks to-day!" " Who is looking well to-day ?" asked the Dean, who is somewhat deaf. "The cathedral," replied Pictor. "Oh yes," observed the Dean, " I dare3ay it does ; but, to tell you the truth, I don't often notice it. But then Solt ttfe h painter." And you (thought Pictor, though he did not say so) are only the dean. PRAYED.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times considers that the sanitary administration of Bristol onght to be the subject of an official inquiry. It i• asserted that certain sanitary measures have, within five years, changed Bristol from nearly the most unhealthy tf nearly the most healthy town in the kingdom. Since the commencement of that period some of the most deadly infectious diseases, from which the town used to suffer severely, have been practically banished. They have raged in the neighbouring districts, and have of course made their appearance in Bristol, but they have not spread there. To all appearance they have been at once extinguished. All this has been accomplished by a vigorous administration of the existing Sanitary Law. At least a thousand lives a year are said to be saved in Bristol by these means. It is evi dent that if these facts are true, they ere of incalculable importance, whatever may be their explanation. If it be true that certain measures, already within our command, will effectually combat such diseases as cholera, typhus, and typhoid fevers, we are in possession of knowledge which - ,vial confer invaluable power, even though the know ledge itself should be carried no further. Since 18K there has been no epidemic of infectious disease in Bristol, end the immunity is ascribed to the constant vigilance Mr. Davies has el.:el-tech In the first place, all the small courts in the city have been well paved, thoroughly drained, and furnished with effectual means for keeling them compa ratively sweet and clean. In the next place, a suffi cient sanitary staff was appointed to maintain a constant and minute system of inspection. The medical officer meets his inspectors daily, and himself tests the accuracy of their work. By such means he generally obtains early information of any outbreak of infectious disease, and on discovering it vigorous and prompt measures of disinfec tion are at once put in force. In this way, when cholera appeared in 186 G, each case was at once actively taken in hand, and in no instance where disinfection was promptly and effectually employed did the disease spread. It is evident the belief of Dr. Budd and Mr. Davies in the theory of infection has led them to carry out ordinary sanitary measures with a thoroughness rarely, perhaps never, before exerted, and it may be that to this complete system of purification and of general disinfection the health of Bristol is due. But we hope the Privy Council will take care that both the facts and their significance are adequately investigated. The Post declares that there is a novelty in the fact of an Irishman, who is one of the leaders of the Irish people, pleading their cause before an English audience with the object of drawing the two races closer together, which suggests the possibility that their relations are entering upon a new phase. We have no wish to disparage the facts upon which Sir John Gray dwelt in his address at Manchester. They disclose a case for legislation whose demands are imperative. It is not a mere sentimental assumption to say that the people have a right, subject to the conditions which are essential to the stability of society, to share in the fruits of the soil upon which they were born. But a general proposition of this kind is precisely one of those which contain at the same time an undeniable truth and a practical absurdity. Providence is often appealed to in the discussion of this question, as if it were one of its fixed laws that the fruit and the capabili ties of the soil are the Divine inheritance of those who happen to be born upon it. The logical consequence of such an axiom reduced to practice would cause a national development which must end in pauperism. The fixity of tenure which Sir John Gray demands would, if left to itself, lead to the same result. The con dition of Ireland has for many more years than is generally supposed been one of progress, due to a great extent to the enterprise of tenants, but also due to the enlightened policy of landlords. Of this there can be no doubt, . It is certain, moreover, that there are landlords who have acted in a very different manner. But Sir John Gray's proposition makes no distinction between these grades. It confounds the meritorious landlords with those who have been more or less guilty; and that is not a proposal which will commend itself to English ideas of justice. The Telegraph thinks that the homo question of the day is the Fenian amnesty. It does not mean to say that, while there will assuredly be a Land Bill, there must and shall be no Fenian amnesty, but most emphatically pro claims the absolute impossibility of any Fenian amnesty at a time or under circumstances which might make it seem in the slightest degree a consequence of the Irish demon strations, or place it in any way in connection with them. If, some time since, a doubt existed on the question, recent events certainly seem to prove that no grosser injustice to Ireland, nor to Eng land, could be devised, than a measure of clemency which would sot a premium on mere uproar, clamour and menace. Especially when we have to deal with the unreasoning minds of the Irish masses, would there be grave danger in a step which would virtually an•• nounce to so impassioned and prejudiced a people that the one process needful to extort anything the children of Erin choose to demand, is to muster in menacing numbers aild fling forth sufficiently outspoken threats of treachery and violence. Our present dispositions toward the sister island are surely genial and fair enough to warrant us in saying, that, if the thing required were such that neither mercy nor justice could for a moment sanc tion its refusal, we should not wait for Navan demonstrations and the rhodomontade of Mr. George Henry Moore, but eagerly anticipate the demand. A more fitting time may come ; a day of better considered counsels and more moderato language. But, for the present, we can only consider that the Cabinet will embody the sober opinions of the three kingdoms—lreland act excepted—in resolving that the grasp of punitive justice shall not be relaxed, while the hands of regenera tive justice are busied in removing the real wrongs of Ireland. The Standani remarks that the letter which Mr. Baines has addressed to the secretary of the National Education Union, and which contains not merely his adhesion to, but his enthusiastic approval of, the general principles and objects of that body, is, so far as regards the special ques tion to which it relates, one of the most important signs of the times that we could have. The mere fact that a politician who in virtue of every consideration of association and interest might have been ex pected to throw in his lot to the last with the members of the League—such as Mr. Baines—haS addressed to the secretary of the Union the letter to which we have already referred, speaks volumes as to the superior feasibility of its aims and the sounder and wider wisdom of its scope, The whole sum and substance of the purposes of the Educational Union are simple, intel ligible, and direct. It starts upon the assumption, and that, as we have always contended, the right one, that what is wanted to guarantee an adequate system of national education in England is. the extension to the utitost limit of the scheme now in work, and the supple menting it, where such supplement is needed, by special local additions and alterations. F . rom the remotest suspicion of cliqueism or bias the Union is conspicuously free. The list of those who are to take part in its proceedings includes men of every description of religious faith and every grade of educational creed. There are representatives of the Established Church and of the Roman Catholic Church, Congregationalists and Wesleyans. We are, therefore, entitled to anticipate the most practical measure of good results from the Manchester meeting ; and it is not too much to express a hope that these may furnish something like a satisfactory basis for the construction of the much required and longed for National Education Bill. The Daily News says the fact really is, that under the system of private patronage as it exists in the Church of England, questions of competency or incompetency, fitness or unfitness, long and faithful service or young apprentice ship, do not as a rule come into consideration. It may be replied to this that the same complaint is made by Dissenters 'which rises so loudly from the Church, and that, therefore, popular election would not cure the evil. But if the ministers of the free churches are ill paid, as they often are, it is not because the prizes of the profession go to the incompetent, for the exact contrary is the fact, and only unusual competence can win such small prizes as there are. The ablest men take the most important pulpits, and, except when questions of creed come in, a EBBW of ability must go to the front. The cause of the poverty of so many Dissenting ministers is that so many incompetent persons crowd into the profession that it it Utterly overstocked. The Wesleyans or Presbyterians, whose congregations form parts of o ivaniscid wholes, are not subject to this disadvantage, nor is the Church of Eng land. ller Bishops can at all times put a check upon the excessive number of clergy. But there would be no need to do this if every man who was ordained could be sure that he would get in tho Church whatever he Was found to bo worth. The vast inequalities which exist in its service, the wealth of some of its ministers and the poverty of others, are a scandal and a weakness which probably a resolute internal move ment for Morin might remove, and which, being removed, would make its m i n i s t r y a Career abundantly attractive to men whose zeal and fire and eloquence would speedily renew the vigour of its youth, _ - • - • • Tht. itertild Thinks that the speech made the other day by tisb kart of iloeslyti at a dinner given to his tenantry is pleasant reading as a c ontrast to the biAtHsin WIWI it is the fashion at present with some theorists to direct agatiSt the principles on which the rights of landholders are based.
