Subscriptions have been sent Min. Liberal associations in other towns have given vent to their sympathy. A. number of ladies have resolved to canvass. And lastly, the Times gives the working man its help. As party members, says the leading journal, the three Liberals would be pretty much on a par in the House, save that Mr. Odger would perhaps be most liable to wander. But considered as elements of the repre sentation of the people, the . _balance is almost im measurably in Mr. Odger's favour. " His rivals would bring nothing new to the House of Com mons, while he hiniself would be able to present to the House upon a great variety of questions new views, frequently—most frequently, in deed—erroneous views, but still views which ought to be weighed and considered, for they, are entertained. by thousands of his countrymen." Take, for instance, the work of committees. 'How could Sir Francis Lycett or Sir Sydney Waterlow differ from the majority of men who form those bodies ? "It is quite certain, on the other hand, that Mr. Odger would be called upon to serve upon many committees, especially on questions of social and economic rather than of a political character, because he would bring to their inquiries a novel element." KERRY. A vacancy in the representation of Kerry is talked of. The Earl of Kenmare is very ill, and, as his eldest son, Lord Castlerosse, is M.P. for the county, the local politicians, with not very seemly haste,.are speculating upon a successor. Lord Castlerosse is a Liberal, and for twenty-seven years the party have held undisputed command of the seat. But the Conservatives are determined to shew fight on the next opportunity. The Hon. Captain de Moleyns, brother of Lord Ventry, and Mr. Charles Staughton, of Listowel, are spoken of as probable candidates. The Liberals may be represented by Sir Rowland Blennerhasset, M.P. for Galway, or by Mr. D. C. Coltsman, of Glenflesk Castle. THE BISHOPS AS PEERS. The Daily 11'C2C8 speaks out with more than usual courage on the subject of the Archbishop of Canter bury's application for a suffragan. Our contemporary j usually preserves a " udicious reticence "on religious questions, the relations between Church and State, &c. But now it boldly argues that the attendance of bishops in Parliament ought to be dispensed with. Their membership of the House of Lords does not (our contemporary says) add to their temporal grandeur. It absolutely, diminishes their spiritual power, for they aro continually seen in opposition to the spirit of the age. They are being overworked by having duties foreign to their office thrust upon them. The Daily News may be right in saying that the power of the bishops would be increased by their abstinence from parliamentary work ; but would not there be danger of the increased power being coincident with increased narrowness and assumption? Is the pre sence of the bishops amongst men more powerful in the State than themselves, altogether without good effect ? THE VALEDICTORY ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS. A farewell epistle from the archdeacons of the diocese of Bath and Wells to their retiring Bishop, Lord Auckland, has called forth from his Lordship a - valedictory address to his clergy. The circular is not, however, written by the Bishop himself; his health precludes such an answer ; so Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne (the well-In - town " S. G. 0." of the Tines) acts as amanuensis. his Lordship thanks his clergy for their good wishes and sympathy; warmly pp rises his archdeacons (Denison, Brown, and Fitzgerald) ; acknowledges the services of his church wardens ; and promises, while life is spared to him, to pray for his diocese. UNI SITY TESTS. The .2Vencenfermist—which is most likely Co be well informed on the subject—gives a short " hearsay" report of the two deputations which waited upon Mr. Gladstone last week to argue with him tho subject of Univetsity Tests. Our contemporary is very well pleased with the result. The deputa tions, it says, found the Premier fully prepared for the reception of "any measure which, on the whole, was likely to be demanded." Two questions were very prominent in the discussion between the Premier and the Nonconformist deputa tion. The first respected public worship at chapels, concerning which Mr. Gladstone expressed his great surprise that such worship was still insisted upon. The second question related to clerical fellowships. Upon this point the Nonconformist deputation were able to assure Mr. Gladstone that they were quite prepared to meet him. They were, that is to say, willing to concede that the operation of the pro posed University reform measures should not extend to clerical fellowships. In commenting upon this concession, our contemporary declares it is no small one, as the clerical fellowships absorb, in the course of time, about one-half of the whole fellowships which are at the disposal of the colleges. It is, how ever, felt, that as many years must pass before the Nonconformists could fill the lay fellowships, no practical injustice would be done to them, by allow ing the question of the clerical fellowships to remain, for a time, in abeyance. " o one, of course," the Nonconformist adds, "can imagine that the clerics can long retain their clerical fellowships, but, at pre sent, we don't want them, and they can have them if they like." RP., JOHN GRAY. Sir John Gray, RP., has been presented with an address at his residence in Dublin by the corporation of the Irish capital. This address, which was adopted at a recent meeting of the civic authorities, is a con gratulation on the successful result of Sir John Gray's exertions on behalf of religious equality. It commemorates, in very eulogistic terms, his labours for the removal of the test oaths, to which Roman Catholics were formerly subjected, and likewise his persevering attacks upon the Irish Church. Sir John, in reply, expressed the opinion that by the removal of the Church Establishment, they had uprooted the great barrier to the union of Irishmen. " One of the outposts which had kept the mass of the people from entering into the great citadel of freedom had been removed, and he trusted they would all live to see the day when they would enter the great citadel, and when their native land would be self-governed." If demonstrations count for anything, it would seem that the Irish are marching rapidly on the way to freedom. The tenant-right and fixity of tenure meetings are kept up with undiminished perseverance. The last, which was held at Coleraine, pronounced for "consequential damages for the right of continued occupancy whilst paying fair rent "—which means fixity of tenure, with power on the part of the land lord to turn out the tenant if he chooses to pay for the luxury. TENANT RIGHT IN ENGLAND. "An English Landlord," apropos to Lord Lifford's letter about Irish tenant right, says the idea of an occupier selling his "goodwill " or interest in a farm or other property—even though that interest may terminate at a week's notice—is not at all uncommon in England. Nor do tenants fail to carry the doctrine into practice whenever they have a chance of success. " A shoemaker in ray village, who had for many years occu pied one of my cottages as a weekly tenant, broke down in business, and came to a standstill. Seeing no prospect of improvement for him at home, I persuaded him to emigrate to Canada with his wife and family, and, with the kind assistance of my neighbours, provided him with ample means for that purpos3. On the very eve of his departure he had the coolness to propose that I should allow him to introduce another shoemaker into the cottage which he was about to vacate, on the ground that the person in question had offered him £2O for tho Privilege." "An English Landlord" declined. lie did not desire the establishment of tenant-right on • and so f ar as a s hoemaker's cottage is con -1113 Mato he does not explain how cerned ho was - right. tenure in such a case bears upon the question Ireland. TIIE GOVERNMENT AND TIIE VOLUNTEERS. --- There are contradictory statements abroad as to the interview which took place on Tuesday between. the Secretary of State for War, and the representatives of the volunteers. The Mall Gazette says Cardwell propounded an elaborate scheme of changes, the Telegraph, however, denies all this. It pc.:,• the War Secretary simply asked for suggestiOtt; an knininns on various matters connected _ with - th._ • COMPULSORY CHURCH ATTENDANCE. The churchwardens of Colwick, near Nottingham, who were ordered by their vicar to compel the people to come to church, seem to have been puzzled. They had not thought, when they took the office upon themselves, to have to go around the par' 'II giving notice to the people that they must eitaer go to church or prison. They did not like the task of threaten ing their "Dissenting brethren" with a visit from the policeman, and the 3 have tried to shirk it. One of them has written to the bishop of the diocese (Dr. Words worth) asking /in; opinion on the matter. The Bishop of Lincoln replies that he thinks churchwardens ought to go to church, and take as many as they can with them. But the canon to which the Rev. Dr. Bedford has called the attention of his parishioners was framed more than 250 years ago, and it cannot be legally enforced under penalty for its infraction. He therefore prefers to leave the matter to the conscience and goodwill of the churchwardens rather than attempt to impose it on them by gent and vigorous measures which would probably bo found to be abortive. LAW-COURT APPLAUSE. One of the morals of the Overend, Gurney, and Co. case is that some effective measures must be taken with the demonstration nuisance. At an early stage of the proceedings what is now becoming the customary round of applause was accorded to ono of the counsel. The Lord Chief Justice threatened to slear the court. But the audience,. as usual, took no heed of the warning. The judge him-. sell received a little encouragement, and when the verdict was announced a tremendous demonstration if delight ensued. The reporter informs us that the " Lord Chief Justice then, in a voice which did not betray in its tones any very serious displeasure, said : Really this is very wrong. I ought to commit some of you." If his :ordship's voice did not display any very serious displeasure in its tones, it is to be hoped that the displeasure was felt all the same. If applause in court is wrong—about which there can be little doubt—it ought to be prohibited under any circumstances. If it be allowed to go on it will soon lead to its natural end. The various parties will provide their supporters, just as actors at certain theatres secure a due supply of " encouragement " through the aid of sympathising friends. EMIGRATION. An influential conference has just been held in London, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of assisting the emigration of the poor from those parts of the metropolis where distress has long prevailed. Three societies at present exist for this purpose—the National Emigration AM Society, the British and Colonial Society, and the Workmen's Emigration Society—and as their objects are almost precisely similar, it is thought well to amalgamate them and form one good working organisation. For this purpose the conference was called. It decided with very little dispute in favour of amalgamation, and efforts are at once to be made to bring about a nnion. It is thus likely that a scheme of emigration will now be carried on in a systematic manner. TILE POIVDEIL EXPLOSION AT BEDFONT. The inquest on the three men killed by the gun powder explosion at Messrs. Curtis and Harvey's work has had the usual result. Nobody knew how the fire originated ; the provisions seem to have been all legal and proper ; the three men killed are said to know more about the matter than anybody else. The jury therefore return the verdict that death was accidental. CRICKET. The averages of the great batsmen in first-class matches for the year 1569 have been published. Only such contests as county matches, North v. South, the University fights, those of the M.C.C., &c., are taken into account. - Mr. W. G. Grace is, as was generally foreseen, at the top of the tree ; his aggregate •if 1,320 runs, scored in 23 completed innings, and yielding an average of 57 per innings, is almost unprecedented in cricket annals. In six in nings, Mr. Grace totalled no less than 805 runs, viz., 117 T. Oxford University, 188 (not out) v. Surrey, 122 v. North. of England, 121 T. Notts, 180 v: Players of the South, and 127 v. Kent. Amon_;st the professionals, Jupp, with 1,209 runs in thirty seven innings, ibr an average of 35, has the largest aggregate and ono of the best averages ; and Daft, who has played ten innings for an average worthily sustains his great name. Poole-, (Amyl wood, nignall, Lockwood, Rowbotham, and Wild ('.so occupy prominent positions. Of the amateurs, next to Mr. Grace come Messrs. L D. Walker, Lub bock, Cooper, Hornby, Yardley, and Pauncefote. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. There are few persons who will not be glad to learn that the Crystal Palace is this year returning a little dividend to that unfortunate individual—the original shareholder. The result of the •ear's work ing shews an available profit of £47,356 6s. 6d. ; and, after providing for interest on Preference and Deben ture Stocks, a sum remains sufficient to pay a divi dend of 1 per cent. on the Ordinary Stock. This result has been attained, the directors say, by liberal outlay for special attractions. It is to bo hoped that a similarly wise policy will be continued, for few undertakings have deserved so well of the public, and at the same time proved so unfortunate. HOME-COVERING. The people of England, according to Mr. Inglis Palgrave, are improving their houses. In a paper read before the Statistical Society on Tuesday, that gentleman sought to shew that accommodati on was becoming much more abundant. Things are still very unsatisfactory, however. In Scotland on o -thi r d of the population were living each family ill only one room ; another third in two rooms. In the rural districts of England things aro quito • t bad, THE SUEZ CANAL. 12/same de Suez, a journal whose name explains its mission, contains a letter from M. do Lesseps, iu reply to a request from certain of the Canal share holders asking him to procure from the Khedive a temporary guarantee for the payment of interest. in this epistle, M. de Lesseps strongly condemns the calumnious reports by which the value of the shares have been depreciated : Between the 17th and 27th of November, 130 largo vessels passed from one sea to the other, representing a gross tonnage of 80,000 tons. Since that time the naviga tion has not been interrupted a single day ; every vessel arrived at either port has and can pass through the Canal without the slightest difficulty. Our position is the a fore excellent, and to cut short the scandalous proceedings of the clique above mentioned, I have requested the Council of Administration to convoke a general assembly at an early period. Consequently, I shall be am: ng you, and will lay before you with the same frankness as here tofore the exact condition cf our fine and fruitful un.ler taking. I may add that we have no kind of loan to submit to you. COURSE 01.' EXCHANGE.
