IT seems to be decided that the present French Ministry will be dissolved, and that a new one will arise, with M. OLLIVIER at its head. It was evident from the first that the Cabinet which was formed when the EMPEROR decided to reform the Constitution was merely a makeshift. It was composed in great measure of the old materials—the supporters of despotic government; and the new Ministers were in no single instance drawn from the Moderate Party, who brought about the reforms of last June. It is the rule in all constitutional States that the party whose principles prevail shall conduct the affairs of the nation ; and though the EMPEROR for a long time kept the Moderate Liberals out of office, he has at length been com pelled to admit them. M. OLLIVIER, the pre siding genius of the new ministry, is the leader of the Moderates, and by far their ablest representative. He will be assisted in the duties of Government by M. de TALIIOUET, M. BUFFET, M. SEGRIS, and others of the famous 110 who signed the demand for reform and compelled the EMPEROR to grant it. But though the victorious party thus come into place and power, it is by no means certain that they will enjoy any long term of office. We have previously pointed out that the moderate Liberals are deplorably deficient in able leaders. M. OLLIVIER, the most competent, is a deserter from the Balledl ranks, and whilst he is odious to the politicians whom he has left he is not fully trusted by those whom he has joined. Moreover, the new Government is not in a positive majority in the Chambers, though relatively its sec tion is the strongest. The Radicals and Imperialists together outnumber the 110, and, like our own Radi cals and Conservatives, they may unite to defeat the common foe. But the elevation of M. OLLIVIER and his friends cannot fail to prove beneficial to the nation. They are pledg ed to a constitutional course ; they must advance in the track upon justwhich they have entered. Indeed, t here are man y reforms which must still be achieved before the posi tion of the Moderates, as the representatives of par- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1869. liamentary government, can be a logical one. The changes of last June were merely an instalment of what is necessary to convert the EMPEROR'S rule from a personal to a constitutional system. The Moderates have, in fact, previously refused to take office unless the Sovereign consented to advance further in the direction of liberty. One of the most important results which must accrue from this change of Ministry will be the abolition of the odious interference of the Government in the choice of the national representatives. The next French Parliament will be free. Thus, if the Moderates do not prove equal to the task of guiding the destinies of France, they will at least be entitled to the credit of having effectively put an end to the despotism which for eighteen years has defied all attacks from within or without. THE opening of the Suez Canal has realised the expectations of its promoters. It is a fact that a navigable channel has been constructed between the Mediterranean and the Red Seas, and that large vessels, several of a thousand tons burden, and one drawing seventeen and a half feet of water, have made the transit. The rest, as we have previously seen, is only a question of time and money. Sidings to enable vessels to pass each other must be made, the , banks must be strengthened, the, canal and the harbour kept clear of drifting sand and detritus ; but these requirements involve no difficulty save that of cost, and there can be no doubt that the money will be forthcoming from some source or other. The enter prise is a success. Most authorities in England fear that the success is only in one sense, that as a commercial undertaking the canal promises to be a disaster. Elaborate calculations are entered into to prove that on no reasonable supposition can the traffic return a dividend on the enormous sum—thirteen millions sterling—which has been the net outlay. But these estimates, though not without much shew of reason, are as yet premature. It is impossible, until the resources of the work are fully developed, to justly reckon either what will be the entire tolls which the traffic will bear, or what will be the extent of the new commerce which this short route will create. It is agreed on all hands that the traffic between the East and the West will increase ; but time only can shew how great the addition will be. The gloomy forebodings of scientific men respecting dividends may prove as groundless as did their assurances that the canal itself could never be made. Whether the undertaking pays or not, it will certainly be kept in working order. It will prove a benefit to the world, even if it be a loss to the shareholders. France is pledged to maintain a work which has cost her capitalists so dearly; England will not allow so im portant a commercial facility to fall into decay. But especially will it be in the interest of the Egyptian VICEROY to keep up the success of the canal with which he is so much identified. It is not to him a commercial undertaking only; it is part of the policy by which he is endeavouring to secure the support .or countenance of the Western nations in his attempts to throw off allegiance to the SULTAN, and establish himself as an independent Sovereign. The ambition of this semi-ruler has done much to make the canal, and the same influence is likely to be a guarantee for its maintenance. Last Sunday Westminster Abbey was thronged with people to hear the Bishop of LONDON'S Funeral Sermon on the late GEORGE PEABODY. So great was the crush that the vergers fearing accidents to the eager pushing crowd had to send for the police to guard the portals. HANDEL'S Anthem, " When the ear heard him," vibrated on the ears of thou sands, between whom a pin dropped from above could not have reached the Abbey floor. Clear as was Dr. JACKSON'S voice, it penetrated but a short way over the heads of such a congregation, for one knew and felt the presence of a mighty mass in that indescribable sound which effectually prevents silence wherever the people assemble in such a multitude, even though it be in a church. 'The number alone was enough to give a certain grandeur ; but the congregation stood (for the far greater proportion were standing) in a cathedral which has few eqcals, and no superior in the solemn and imposing beauty of its Gothic architecture, in age and in the memo ries of the past, in the epitaphs sculptured around its time-honoured walls, and the renowned dead en closed within i.s ancient vaults. Not far from the grand entrance a railed space in the centre of the aisle spread with a black cloth marked the spot where lay the remains of GEORGE PEABODY, whose name had drawn that throng together eager to see the last of the philanthropist in the great city to benefit whose poor he had given away xvbat would have been to others many fortunes. Next Friday that coffin . will be received on b o ard her MAJESTY'S turret ironclad the Monarch to be conveyed to Portland, Blaine, escorted by an American man-of war if one can reach Portsmouth in time. Thus this simple unpretending citizen who avoided ostentatious displays in life, will be the recipient in death of cere monies never before conferred on a foreigner by the British nation. From the Cathedral, held most sacred in the empire, and where none but Britain's greatest children have found a last resting-place, his transfer is to the newest and most powerful of a fleet that for ages has held the highest rank, so while in her keeping, England rays to PEABODY the tribute it only bestows on its own most mighty dead. During his funeral the large cities of the two great nations showed signs of mourning ; his cha racter and gifts were discussed by millions, and the newspapers, many edged with black, recorded the ca reer and qualities which had raised the American ci tizen upto the most wealthy of men, and the acts which - had placed him among the most honoured. The sermon of the Bishop of LONDON was on that " rest" spoken of by ST. PAUL, in Hebrew, iv. chap., 11 verse, from which, after an eloquent explanation, he turned to the memory of the man whose remains had sought a temporary "rest" within the Abbey. Many a procession had borne the dead along those lofty aisles whose deeds filled the pages of history, many names were incised on the marble monuments ranged along these crumbling and hoary cloisters; there were those most remarkable in literature, in science, and in art; yet there was not a name there recorded more remarkable for munificence to man kind than that of GEORGE PEABODY. From humble circumstances he had raised himself to great opu lence, for what his band found to do he did it with his might; not slothful in business, but his labours were not for himself only. His work was to acquire wealth, his delight was to expend it in advancing the interests of others. The two nations which had contributed to his enormous fortune were the reci pients of his princely munificence, and in each his earnest purpose bad been to promote the physical, moral, and intellectual well-being of his fellow-crea tures. lathe disposal of hisgifts hiskeen intelligence was as manifest as in the acquirement of his wealth. What he did he did wisely, thoroughly, and well. He left no unfinished house, what he undertook he completed, and his undertakings were on a magni tude so vast as to require no ordinary mind and no ordinary means to complete. It is this which has so captivated the Anglo-Saxon race. What the Spec tator says is true, that many a hungry labourer earns a shilling, of which he gives away sixpence, and sinks into a nameless grave ; and were it not so, life for most of us would become an intolerable bur den, for we want to feel, to see, and to know that there is virtue not recorded on granite. But ni tg nitude makes all the difference in this as in every thing else, and when we glance over the history of the world we know how few have been the ex unples left for GEORGE PEABODY'S guidance. Millions before him have made fortune=, and tens of thou sands have willed them away with a free and cha ritable hand to benefit their fellow-creatures after thd donor's death. Hundreds have given lavishly during life, and the world is filled with the self denial of the poor labourer, as well as the gifts of wi dows' mites. But what GEORGE PEABODY did was not only to amass with an extraordinary skill, but with as great a skill to expend for the benefit of his na tive and of his temporarily adopted country. He used the same judgment in his gifts as in his busi- ness, and in both his success was alike remark able. The American philanthropist did not do moralize by doling out charities, but he gave on that scale which alone could tell when dealing with the masses, and the design ever tended towards in culcating knowledge, energy, thrift, and higher social surroundings. He saw that the greatest require ment of his ownland was the education of the South ; that the greatest requirement of his adopted coun try was in its mighty metropolis to elevate the lives by improving the holing of its industrious labourers. Vast as was his fortune he knew how futile would - be his efforts to deal with its pauperism, with its vag rancy, or, doubtless, his charity would have taken that direction. But his was a keen, shrewd, prac- tical mind, and knowing the limits of his power, he attempted only that in which he could suc ceed, and London gratefully recognizes his success, for manya man might actually have worked mischief with his half million sterling ; while his motive might have been as good, his bounty as princely, he would have earned but little thanks from the nation for his ill-directed charity. It required three qualities to make a PEABODY, that by which the money is amassed, for when inherited, in few cases would it be his thus to deal with—the keen discrimination which points the direction and the tact not only to take it, but to take the best way—and the mind, when the direction is seen, which can make itself up (knowing the magnitude of the undertaking) to strip off the ripe fruit whose culture and growth had cost him so much to produce for distribution among those he knew not, to whom he had not belonged, and with whom he had never associated. It is an ascertained fact that in nine cases out of ten (most likely the ratio is far larger) accumulation narrows instead of opening the mind, and the Spectator's hungry labourer, who gave the sixpence out of the shilling he had earned, would have given nothing had he earned £5,000. The truth of this is attested by all men who have been extensively engaged in col lecting and distributing charities ; and the reasons, we think, are two—First, that the objects are then re movedfrona the sight and its influence, as well as that sympathy with the distress which tells the man it may be his own turn to-morrow. The other is the bane of the labouring classes, they can save only in sums so small that they think they are not worth saving, hence much of their improvidence, as well as of their generosity ; but the moment these sums grow large, avarice is excited ; they have become worth saving, and many then close tight their fists. But whatever the reason, the fact is indisput able, and we faii when glancing through eminent lives to come across many instances of a GEORGE PEABODY. We have philanthropists who devoted themselves and their fortunes to an idea ; but that was again of a different character, though we acknow ledge it to be the better. HOWARD, for example, was of a higher order of philanthropist than PEABODY; yet there is something grander and more striking in PEABODY'S acts than in HOWARD'S. Personally the former was in no degree interested ; there was no enthusiasm, no devotion centreing every idea on one focus. Isolated from all these powerful sym pathies as a plain man of business, he stripped himself of the work of his life to benefit his fel low-creatures, doing so with a rare business ability But to return to the words of the Bishop of LON DON, we may notice a subject he dwelt on with great He said : force. "Henceforth the name of GEORGE PEABODY will b 3 the common property of both nations—another strand in the great bond of unity which drew together the people of two eoun:ries having a common origin, language, and laws, and in whose union and peaceful progress side by side in the work of civilisation and social improvement was involved the true welfare, not of themselves only, but of the entire world." it is, as we once before observed, in his character of an Anglo-American gentleman that this philanthro pist will do most good. There are three ugly splits in the race—that between those who dwell in England, those who dwell in the Northern States, and the in ha- bitants of the Southern States. Now if GEORGE PEA BODY intended to introduce another link to bind the three, he could not have done so more skilfully ; and the Prime Minister of England but justly stated the case at the Lord Mayor's banquet in these words, that " with the country of Mr. PEABODY we are not likely to quarrel." There may be something of ostentation in the honours paid to the American philanthropist; but this arises from a genuine feeling now prevailing, not only of admiration for the man, but from ee desire to cultivate friendly relations with his country. England now knows more about the Republic. Her ignorance bad been a good deal imposed on by people as ignorant, as well as by the designing, for which there prevails a general regrLt, and this is not ungracefully shown over the remains of one who so sincerely loved both lands, and did so much for the advancement of either people.—Anylo- American Ti►;mes of Saturday last. The late Rear-Admiral Frederick Warden, C. 8., who at his death held the office of Senior Naval Officer at Queenstown and on the coast of Ireland, was buried at Southsea Cemetery, Portsmouth, on Saturday, with all the public honours due to the rank of the deceased officer. The pall-bearers were Vice-Admiral Sir S. C. Dacres, K.C.8., Senior Admiralty Sea Lord ; Rear-Admiral A. C. Key, C. 8., F.R.S., Superintendent of Portsmouth Dock yard ; Captain George Hancock, her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington, Flag-Captain to and re presenting Port•Adrniral Sir James Hope, K.C.B. ; Captain Willes, C. 8., R.N., of Coastguard and Reserve Department, at Whitehall ; Colonel Com dina Schombe rg,Talbot, R.M.A., C.B. ; Ad mirala s l t ir b K.C.B. ; and Vice dmi ar a n Wake W a lke r , K.C.B.

Stanley Dawson, Flag-Lieut. to the deceased during the period of his command, and a large number of other officers, including the captains of all her Majesty's ships in com mission in the port. The body was received at the gates of the cemetery by the Vicar of Portsmouth, the Rev. E. P. Grant, and conveyed to the church, where he read the first portion of the burial service. The service concluded, the procession proceeded to the grave, where the coffin was deposited, and the remainder of the service read by the vicar. At the end of the prayers the naval battery fired 11 guns in minutes' time, the number due to an officer of Rear-Admiral's rack dying during a period of command. Her Majesty's Indian relief screw troopship Cro codile, Captain Watson, embarked troops at Ports mouth on Saturday as per subjoined list, and yes terday morning sailed for Alexandria :—Lieut.-Col. Macpherson, 2d battalion 24th Infantry, in mili tary command of all troops on board; 66 other officers of various corps, nine officers' wives and families, 1,000 non-commissioned officers and men to join various regiments in India, with 112 soldiers' wives and 120 children. The naval passengers taken out by the Crocodile included Navigating Sub-Lieut. Henderson, to join her Majesty's screw troopship Malabar, and three warrant officers and 10 men to join her Majesty's ship Forte, at Aden, for disposal. Another large re d uct i on i n the number of work men employed in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwi ch, is expected to be m a d e b e f ore long, as, we under stand, instructions have been received from the War-office, for an estimate or return to be pre pared, showing the inarillest possible number of men required to b e reta i ne d i n the various depart ments, with the id ea o f mere l y k e eping the estab lishment open and i n per f ec t wor king order. The reduction will be made as gradually as possible, so that all the dep ar t ments w ill b e on the reduced footing by the commencement of the coining finan cial year. A return is also called for o f the names, ages, and l engt h of serv i ce o f all the work men at present employed in each department in the !loyal Arsenal. The .Nlegmra, screw store transport, Sniff Com mander Sarratt, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the eastward, and is expected to sail from Portsmolvh to-day for Ascension and Sierra Leone. She will call in r.t Plyinouth Sound on her way down Channel. The 'reazer, twin screw gun vessel, left Spithead on Saturday, under steam, for Sheerness, to take the place of her sister vessel the Thistle, commis sioned for foreign service, previous to the ac cider.t to one of her boilers, by Commander Blom field. SIIIPTVBECK AND LOSS OF FIFTY LIVES. A letter from Montevideo just received in London re ports a dreadful shipwreck on the Spanish coast during a severe gale on the 18th ult. The Spanish barque Adela, which was bcund from Barcelona to Montevideo with passengers and a general cargo, stuck on the English Bank, and before assistance could be rendered, went to pieces. All the passengers—thirty-seven in all—were drowned, and the master and crew, two men excepted, shared a like fate. The dreadful occurrence has created a painful feeling in Montevideo, to which many of the passengers belonged. OXFORD UNIVERSITY REFORM. +r- The Hon. Lyulph Stanley has written to the Manchester Examiner on the question of University Reform. He thinks that reformers should prepare for energetic action next spring, and considers the rejected bill of last session to have been very inadequate. The real point at issue is the pos session of the higher dignities and emoluments of the uni sities, and the granting of the MA. degree to Nonconformists was so obviously a necessary concession that he does not attach much importance to it. The object in view is not so much the admission of Nonconformists to a participation in the higher advantages of Oxford, as the principle of unsectarian, undenominational culture in the national universities. One of tho first steps in academic reform is the absolute removal of the bishops from their offices of visitors, and the substitution of trained judicial persons. Parliament should also next session repeal all clauses which make Church membership a condition of holding any office or emolument. A GUESS AT THE FORTHCOMING BUDGET. The Birmingham Gazette has the following:—" It is very early in the day to speak of next year's Budget, but we learn on good authority that the Chancellor of the Exche quer intends making a bid for popular favour by intro ducing certain fiscal reforms calculated to make Mr. Blight's free breakfast table somewhat of a reality. The duties on tea, sugar,and coffee arc to be readjusted, and materially lessened. Before next April Mr. Lowe will want all the popular favour lie can possibly get, for as soon as people begin to feel the way in which they have to provide his `magic surplus' of last year there will be a pretty storm. The time is fast coming when the payment-in-advance system comes into operation, and we should not be surprised if the Chan cellor be forced to afford some relief out of whatever sur plus he may have scraped together to lessen the suffering that will be produced by the change, which looks very well on paper, and charmed the House by its daring novelty, but will be altogether another matter when put into actual operation." ART AND LITERARY GOSSIP. Mulready told a friend that when a young man he gave lessons in drawing to Miss Milbanke, and that she was "not handsome," but, in appearance as in manner, "very gentle and good."—lt is reported that an English noble man is ready to spend £150,000 in building another opera-house, if the proper site can be obtained. — Cal ibaldi's long-expected work, "Rome in the Nine teenth Century," has been translated from the Italian by Mrs. Colonel Chambers, and is in the pros& It will be published in a short time, simultaneously with the original.—The first instalment of Mr. Wilkie Collins's new serial story, " Man and Wife," appears in this week's number of Cassell's Magazine.

The work is a continua ti(m of "Rheingold," the performance of which latter alone lasts, we are afraid to say how many hours. The Gai e ty Gazette says the site where, previous to its turning down, &lyric House stood, in Leicester-square, has been secured for a winter garden and theatre of huge proportions. The whole block of buildings has been taken, and a public cempany is in process of construction, issuing £1 shares, not less than £25 to be taken up. The auditorium of this new theatre will seat :3,000 persons, and the stage will be larger than Drury Lane. A covered façade in front of the house is also contemplated, calculated to shelter a thousand people, if need be, from the weather. The promoters of this com pany—which is already pretty well organised—have secured a place at Isleworth for the supply of the plants and flowers, and have a dairy and laundry at the same place in connection with the establishment. The building will begin in January, and the theatre is expected to open in September. TRADE AND FINANCE. SATURDAY EVENING. The Turkish Railway Loan still appears to be undecided upon, notwithstanding the confident statements that had from time to time been made in reference to it. It is now asserted that the Comptoir d' Escompte has taken it up, a most improbable tale, unless by this is meant that that institution has undertaken the agency of a syndicate of bankers interested in the operation. It is understood that something of the kind is in contemplation, but we have good reason to believe that neither the price nor period of issue has been arranged for. The many lame attempts to introduce foreign loans into the market have recently excited a feeling akin to ridicule, and the aversion of the investing public to this description of security is becoming more and more decided. As a matter of fact the London market has become over-supplied with stock, and a general depreciation has taken place in values. Nevertheless there appears no reason to doubt that the needy borrowing States will take advantage of the exces sive facilities offered Ity the Western money market so long as it is open to them, and it is a matter of grave question whether we do not lay ourselves open to imputa tion in affording these facilities. It is satisfactory, how ever to perceive the growing disfavour with which every fresh application is received, for it has become evident that some States are utterly indifferent as to what burdens are entailed so long as their present necessities are provided for. Probably no trade has undergone a greater revolution than that in foreign loans. Instead of the whole question being kept in the dark until ready for announcement to the public, we now see the history of the negotiations throughout, and, so far from not being per mitted to understand what house has obtained the loans, we now hear, from day to day, who has refused them. Tho great capitalists have, it may be observed, stood aloof from all recent transactions of this nature, and have shown a great degree of caution in choosing the States whit which they will deal. Yet there is no reason to believe that the profits of contractors are smaller than hitherto; on the contrary, the presumption is that they ore greater, and with a certain class of loan they must be very heavy. A difficulty generally arises on the part of the contractors on account of their being required to take a considerable portion of the stock firm; but this has been obviated, in many recent cases, by the loan being introduced on commission only. Evidently the competition fer these contracts among the large houses is much less animated than a year or two since, and probably this move ment will yet acquire greater force. The Engligh stake in foreign loans is already uncomfortably large, and each fresh issue of stock tends to further depreciate the value ef that already on the market. The issue prices of the new loans are greatly below those of the early issues of the , erne `:_tates, and this difficulty in obtaining assistance is of cour.e in proportion to the extent of the liability ;.`ready incurred Ly the borrowing State, and by the value o the securi!y to Le pledged which still remains in its hands. further cause of the prevailing distrust is the attempt ts , .de by sense titates t 3 partially repudiate their engage mcni.a by taxing the coupons, while many of them spew an in:iuttion to refuse, if possible, the guarantee demanded airi.A flair entering the money market for a stated in tcrval_—a restriction that has become very necessary. It will be s: en, therefore, that while the profits on these :,lee . ,tlations arc likely to be great so long as the dividends arc paid, they are becoming more and more dangerous and less suitable as an ordinary means of investment. There is a rumour prevalent, on which, however, too altich reliance should not be placed, that the Bight Hon. J. B. Donison, Speaker of the louse of Commons, is about to retire with a Peerage, and that Miniaters intend starting for the Pre sidentOtip et the ii9tl4o Air John Duko Coleridge, Solleitor-General, THE SEDITIOUS PRESS. The Irish "National" papers continue their efforts to create a "martyrs' anniversary" on the 23d inst.—the day Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien were executed ; and Glasnovin cemetery, Dublin, is to be the scene of some sort of de monstration. Their second topic this week is the elec tion for Tipperary, and tho cry is still "O'Donovan Rossa for Tipperary." Father Lavelle writes in the Flag a long letter to prove that tho Fenian society has never been condemned by the Roman Catholic Church as an "un lawful organisation." The letter addressed, says Mr. Lavelle, to the Archbishop of Dublin (Dr. Cullen), and the Archbishop of Baltimore, by Cardinal Barnabo, Pre fect of the Propaganda in 1865, simply ran:—"Many reports have been conveyed to the Holy See regarding a society which is called the Fenian Brothers, or the Fenians, and these have been submitted to the supreme congre gation of the Universal Inquisition, that it might bo decided what was to be thought about them. Now, our Most Holy Father, Pius P.P. LX., having heard the decision of the Most Eminent Inquisitors, ordered that the decree of Aug. 5, 1846, should be notified to your Grace—which runs thus : The occult societies of which there is question in the Pontifical constitutions are all those which propose to themselves anything against the Church or Government, whether they exact or do not exact an oath from their members to keep the secret. Furthermore, his Holiness wished it should be intimated to you that recourse should be had to the Holy See, and that with full and ample explanations of the facts and circumstances of the case, should any difficulty bo found in the application of the foregoing de cree.'" This is the "only ground," adds Father Lavelle, "for the repeated assertion that the Fenians are expressly condemned." The Irishman has articles headed "The Anniversary of Blood," "Protestant Nationalists," and "Revolution." In the last these words occur:—" Like the distant and indistinct roll of thunder come the voices of far off peoples, chaunting their hymns of liberty. Ever and anon some swelling note bursts forth, and is borne on the Western breeze to our island home, awakening hopes and aspirations in the hearts of our serf people. To hasten the development of national life is the object of the national party in Ireland, and if its members be true to themselves, and true to their aims, many years will not elapse before an Irish flag waves in College Green." THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ON DR. TEMPLE. The Archdeacon of Canterbury forwards a copy of fire reply of the Archbishop of Canterbury to a memorial from the rural deanery of South Melling, on the subject of the appointment of Dr. Temple. The Archdeacon says : " The Archbishop, prostrated as he is by sudden illness, is earnestly desirous that it should be understood that these words were written some days ago, when in the enjoyment of good health; and his fervent prayer is, that this public expression of his own sincere convictions may tend in some measure to allay the irritation which has been lately aroused." The following is the Archbishop's letter :—" Stonehouse, St. Peter's-Thanet, Nov, 19, 1869.—Rev _and Dear Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a memorial signed by yourself and other clergy in the deanery of South Melling, on the subject of the nomination of Dr. Temple to the see of Exeter. I shall not enter into the general question of the safeguards against any attempt being made in our mixed constitution in Church and State to force upon the Church a man who, from heretical opinions, or from some other un faithfulness, is unfitted to hold high office in the Church of Christ. I shall only remark, in passing, that I feel thankful that these safeguards, as it appears to me, are very effectual. The practical question is, has such an unworthy and unfit person been nominated to the see of Exeter ? Now, personally, I have known Dr. Temple for thirty years, and greatly reverence his many noble quali ties. I endeavour, however, to approach the question as in God's sight, greatly fearing, on the one side, any injury to the Faith of the C hurch, on the other any injustice to the individual ; and with a solemn feeling of respon sibility the following is my judgment. I do not consider that any blame can fairly attach to Dr. Temple for having originally contributed to the " Essays and Reviews." I believe that the persons requested so to contribute had no knowledge of the nature of the work. When the book appeared, I greatly regret that Dr. Temple did not take the earliest opportunity of disso ciating his name from all connection with the volume; but I am bound to give full consideration to the following facts :—That the Preface to the volume contains a general disclaimer on the part of all the writers of responsibility for anything but his own work ; that in the protest against the book, which was signed by the bishops, there was no allusion to any part of Dr. Temple's essay; that Dr. Temple did take an early opportunity of publishing a volume of his sermons, in which he sets forth his own belief and system of religious teaching. I am bound to pronounce that, in my judgment, Dr. Temple is not responsible for the opinions of other essayists, and that his own works contain no statements contrary to the Faith of the Church of England. Ho is an earnest and intelligent believer in all the great doctrines set forth in our Prayer-book and Articles. Knowing from other sources his earnest, self denying, energetic, Christian life, I do not wonder that so many of the attached members of our Church have con tinued to shew their unwavering confidence in his Chris tian excellence by entrusting him with a greater number of pupils than has ever been gathered together in Rugby School, and that the feeling of public con fidence has led the Primo Minister to judge that he might fairly be raised to the Episcopate. On the other hand, I feel very strongly that Dr. Temple, if he believes that he cannot do so now, is bound at least, when he enters on the duties of the see of Exeter, to take steps as soon as possible for allaying the anxiety which has been called forth, and for convincing all that are committed to him in the Lord that the book called Essays and Reviews " is far indeed from being an expo nent of his sentiments and his religious teaching.—l remain, rev, and dear sir, yours very truly, (Signed) " A.

THE FIRST VACCINATOR.—In the old church yard of Worth, Dorsetshire, is a tomb with the follow ing inscription :—" Benjamin Jesty, of Downshay, died April 16, 1816, aged 79. He was born at Yetminster, in this county, and was an upright, honest man, par ticularly noted for having been the first person known thlt introduced the cowpox by inoculation, and who, from his great strength of mind, made the experiment from the cow on his wife and two sons in the year 1774." — Medical Times and Gazette. THE LONDON FOG AND THE THEATRES.—SOIIIO of the most curious effects of the dense black fog of Wed nesday last were to be observed in the London theatres. In the larger houses, the audience in the dress circle and bones furthest removed from the orchestra could scarcely discern the movements of actors on the stage ; while even in the smaller theatres a dimness as if a fine gauze curtain hung between them rendered the effort to follow the performance somewhat wearisome. Comparatively few persons, however, suffered from this inconvenience. The playgoing public, in fact, stayed at home ; while the unfortunate actors performed to a few scattered groups dimly visible through the haze which all the powers of gaslighting in the house were powerless to overcome. The effect was doubtless depressing; but fogs so thick, lit Frenchmen say what they will, do not, even in November, come every day. THE MURDER, AT NEWCASTLE.—The inquest on a woman named Martin, otherwise Renwick, at Newcastle on-Tyne, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday. It will be remembered that the deceased was with a sailor named Weirs in a low part of the town, and that almost immediately after he left her at the door of her house, she was found on the pavement fatally stabbed, and died without being able to say more than that "a man did it." Suspicion was strong against Weirs, but it was suggested that the stab might have been given by Renwick from motives of jealousy. Evidence was given which fully established Renwick's innocence, and the jury returned the following cautious verdict :—" Wilfully mur dered, but by whom there is not sufficient evidence to prove," Weirs, however, remains in the hands of the police. A REDUCTION TO THE RANKS CANCELLED. — Sergeant Grimes, late of the Royal Artillery band at head quarters, Woolwich, who was tried by court-martial, of which Major Wyatt, C. 8., was president, in the early part of last month, on charges of lending money at high rates of interest to men and boys under his control on security of their engagement money, pay, &c., and was sentenced to be reduced to the ranks and sent to his duty as a gunner, has had his case referred, by order of the Field-Marshal Com manding-in-Chief, to the Judge-Advocate-General, who has investigated it, and given it as his opinion that the conviction was illegal, in consequence of which instruc tions were received at 'Woolwich on Saturday last, stating that, by command of the Duke of Cambridge, Sergeant Grimes was to be reinstated in the regiment and to have his stripes restored to him.
