The cafacity to "create a soul under the ribs of death" is one among the distinctive attributes of imaginative genius —not that of merely laborious research or philosophical investigation. The poet, in the literal sense, is the creator. The antiquarian, pure and simple, has not been inaptly or in any way extravagantly designated, or, we might even say, typified, by CARLYLE, under the title of Dryas dust. We feel, in a measure, constrained to insist upon what we have here expressed by reason of the graceful eulogium pronounced upon the Archaeologi cal Society yesterday at St. Alban's by the noble lord who has this year undertaken the office of its Presi dent. In the very opening of his remarkable address to the association yesterday, Lord LYTTON referred to what he called his own sense of indebted ness to the archaeologist whenever he had under taken, so to speak, to trace upon the canvas some image of the past—observing, in continuance of his thought, that arclueplogy had been called the hand maid of history, and that, in truth, without her aid, history could as little represent any particular period as the drawing of a skeleton would represent the features and the form in which the individual being was recognised while in life. "It was archze)logy," he said, " that restored to the skeleton of a former age the flesh amid sinews and lineaments that distin guish it from the countless centuries of which it is a link, clothed it in the very garments that it wore, and rebuilt the very borne in which it dwelt." Now, to our notion, the noble lord, in saying this, was in a manner taking the coronal that belo.igs by right to himself and his fellows, for the purpose of placing it, with an almost extravagant gene• rosily, upon the head of—DmisnusT ! Upon the brow of the Antiquarian and the Archeologist. The latter, according to our thinking—the philos3- phic archaeologist and antiquarian--furnishes the pos sessor of imaginative genius, furnishes the poet or creator with the dry bones of his argument. And it is the latter, not the former, who clothes those dry bones anew with living flesh and blood, imparting to them once more the vanishel charms of form and features, suffusing beauty again over their otherwise forgotten lineaments, in a word, " creating a soul under the ribs of death." A more striking illustra tion could not possibly be adduced from among all the numerous and varied masterpieces of imaginative literature—namely, as to the relative position in which the p3et and the arAue )logist stand in regard to each other—than may be at once very readily instanced from among the works of the noble lord himself, the President, now iu 1869, of the British Arc' x)logical Association. Ills exquisite historical romance of "The Last Days of Pompeii" illustrates, in fact, what we are hero insisting upon in as riking a manner as could possibly be desire 1. Th .re, in the relics of the buried city--roliei hid bare by the researches of the archa )logist—the Age was made to live anew, not in Eno luminous records of Sir WILLIAA GILL, but in the life-like imaginings, in the pathetic, roman . i;.:, petic pages of tliJ cre.itor of GlAucus and lone, the d,di neator of Nydia, the Blind Girl, and of Arbaces, the Egyptian. The true restorer of the past, again —we would here insist upon it—is far rather the i►nagina tive genius than the philosophic student, who simply furnishes the poet with some among the raw mate- rials of his art, through the medium of certain pro 'ound and laborious researches in the science o archm )logy. Saving only in regard to this particular portion of his address to the Association at St. Alban's yester- day, and in regard to a subsequent pas3age where reference was made to the LOLLARDS, and the gene- ral drift of religious opinion during the reigns of the later HENRIES—to which passages we would here, passing, very respectfully take exception, as being n no way coincident with our own views—we cannot but regard Lord LYrroN's address to the Archxo!o- gical Association, with unaffected and, in regard to several portions of it, with profound ad:niration. Than the closing sentences nothing could well be more inspiriting, more heartening, mire elevating to the patriotic ardour of his hearers. "It has been vouchsafed toEngland," he said, " to diffuse her chil- dren and her language amidst realms unknown to the ambition of ALEXANDER, and spreading far beyond the boldest flight of the Roman eagles. Ages hence, from the shores of Australasia and America, pilgrims will visit this land as the birthplace of their ances tors, and venerate every relic of our glorious, if chequered, past, from the day of the Druid to that in which we live. For while we speak we are making history, and becoming in our turn the ancients to posterity. May no future GIBBON trace to the faults of our time the causes which ensure the decline and fall of empires. Century after century, may our descendants in those vast new world; coin pared to which Europe itself shrinks into the d)- minions of a province or a shire, fini still flourishing on these ancestral shores—nor ashamed to ❑umber the men of this day among its fathers —a race adorned by the genius of literature and enriched by the stores of science. May they find still unimpaired, and sacred alike from superstition and unbelief, the altars of Christian faith. Still may our havens and docks be animated by vessels fitted for commerce abroad, and that in case of need for defence at home. Still may our institutions and our liberties find the eloquence of freemen and patriots in our legislative halls, and the ermine of justice be unsullied by a spot n the courts where she adjudicates between man and man. These are the noblest legacies we receive from the past, and while we treasure these at every hazard, and through every change, the soul of England will retain vitality to her form, and no arel,m9logist will seek her grave amidst the nations that have passed away." Noble words—words not unworthy of one' whom Lord IIouGHToN, in no way extrava gantly, eulogised, immediately afterwards, as " the first of our novelists, and not the:last of our barons," one who, besides, being in hi.nself at . once Poet, Administrator, Dramatist, Orator, Novelist, States man—is, in all those different capacities, intensely and emphatically an Englishman. ONE convert, of whatever race or persuasion, ought, one would think, to be held as good as another; but it seems to be an unquestionable fact that the value of proselytism cl.epends to a great extent upon the difficulty of accomplishing it. Nor is it, perhaps, unnatural V. iat a victory over an obdurate sinner should be looked upon as of greater worth than an easy triumph over one not unwilling to receive the truth. Considering that something like £l,OOO is t supposed to be spent in bringing about the conversion of every Jew who is won over from the errors of his race, and that a convert from that obstinate persuasion is rarely retained more than a year, we can readily understand how Hebrew proselytes are so much sought after, and so much prized when found. At least it is only by the aid of some such assumption that the remarkable trial which has just terminated at Cardiff becomes intelligible. To impute any other motive to the defendants than that of excessive zeal would be, judging from the facts of the case, per fectly unjust. It is only on the supposition that heir earnestness grievously outran their discretion that we can explain their placing themselves and the denomination which they represent in such an equivocal position. Neither the law nor the facts of this " abduction case" present any great complexity. The Rev. NATHANIEL THOMAS, a Welsh Dissenting Minister, and his wife, together with some other persons, were made the defendants in a civil action for damages, on the ground that they enticed ESTHER LYONS, daughter of a Jewish money-lender at Cardiff, to quit the service of her father ; and that, in the second place, they received and detained her. There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. THOMAS had pre viously displayed considerable zeal in the work of converting Jews. One triumph of this kind had been already secured in the shape of the cousin of ESTHER LYONS. When, therefore, tho latter girl presented herself to the wife of the Welsh clergyman, on the night of March 23rd, 1868, expressing her wish to quit her parents, and asking for shelter, she was received with little demur. Why ESTHER LYONS left her home is an important question, touching which there was a severe conflict of evidence. The girl herself alleges that she was ill-treated,and some of her father'sservants support her evidence in that particular; her parents and friends, on the other hand, depose quite the contrary. But whatever motive the young Jewess might have had for quitting the parental roof, she met with no lack of encouragement from strangers. On the presumption that she was a convert, an army of Christian ladies interposed to conceal her from her parents. Not only was the host enlisted against the Jewish foe remarkably numerous, but it seems to have entertained small scruples as to the means to be employed. The end was held to justify almost any means. ESTHER LYONS stayed at Mrs. Tiro AI AS'S house the night, her husband approving. Then fearing that the active parents would discover her abode, she was taken to another house in Cardiff —the residence of a merchant named HOLLYEI2. Here she remained two or three weslis, and was then trans ferred to a Mrs. KEEP, at London, where she was visited by divers interested Christian people. Filially, after being baptised, she was removed to G ermany. Of course, her parents did not neglect to seek for her during this period of time ; but they were met with a skill and caution on the part of the enterprising Christian foe which long baffled all researches. Mrs. THOMAS and her spouse met several inquiries with a style of answer that may be mildly set down as equivocal. On one occasion the Welsh minister was asked as to her whereabouts, and replied that he knew nothing—an answer which was in the strict letter correct, but which leaves some thing to be wished on the score of strictly accurate truth. For weeks the girl's father called upon the THOMASES, asking for information, but could obtain none. ESTHER LYONS was specially enjoined to keep matters " secret from her parents." On one occasion, when a note-was sent her by Mrs. THOMAS, she was requested to destroy it. When she was sent to Prussia—there to be educated and maintained at the expense of her generous friends—the route chosen was circuitous, After she had arrived there, and had occasion to write to her parents, by the instructions of her friends, she described the scenery as if Switzerland, and not Prussia, were her place of abode. Mrs. HOLLYER, of Cardiff, who sheltered ESTHER for some time, in writing to Mrs. KEEP, of London, says :—" Poor Mrs. T., she is so much upset, and the is Goillhuly W die I say of mortified rage—they say of grief. They are in a great rage just now. Pray much to the Lora) to defeat their efforts." How truly charitable ! As this expression appears in a very careful letter, full of strategy, we must set down this mingled caution and exuberance of feeling to the excitement of the hour. After some negotiation between the parties, which came to nothing, legal proceedings were taken, and we now learn the end of them. The jury have given a verdict for the plaintiff with damages of £5O, on the ground that ESTHER LYONS was enticed away from her home by the minister and his wife There is some reason to think that this verdict is founded more on a conviction of the jus tice of the case rather than in accordance with its legal merits. The girl was of age—above 18—and had the right to leave her father's service, and to remain away from his house. The charge of detaining and harbouring, therefore, fell to the ground. As to the ground of the verdict—that o: enticing the girl away—the evidence on that point is, to say the least, conflicting. There is much reason to think that the girl, dissatisfied with her treatment at her father's house, went to the minister's on the presumption that she would obtain a shelter. She had been told by one of her companions thal she would be received there. She seems on her first arrival at her new abode to have scarcely understood what was required of her in the way of changing her faith, though the influences with which she was surrounded would, no doubt, soon determine her to embrace Christianity. These are points, however. which, as the case is to be tried over again, will be determined by a more competent legal authority. There can be no doubt that the moral offence committed in concealing and spiriting this girl from place to place, often by the aid of very questionable means, was a very great one, and deserved a much more severe punishment than is represented by the verdict. The enormity of such a proceeding can admit of no question What, indeed, would Protestants have said if . , Catholics or Jews had been the defendants in this case ? The Ametican yacht Dauntloco, tho proporty of Mr. J. G. Bennett, which arrived at Havre from New York a week or two ago, has at length dropped anchor in Cuweg Roads, and has created much curiosity among yachting men. On Saturday the Manchester Assizes were opened by Mr. Justice Hayes, who, in his charge to the Grand Jury, commented on the formidable calendar of ninety-three cases, and pointed out that most of those of murder, man slaughter, and violence to the person, were the direct or in direct result of the drinking habits of the population. At the Nottingham Police Court, on Saturday, a man named Vincent, alias Gudgeon, was _charged with assault. It was alleged that tho assault arose from tho com plainant's giving evidence in the election inquiry. The prisoner was fined 405., and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace for three months. A serious conflict between a body of Irishmen and the police took place at Bishop Auckland on Saturday night The Irish wero making a disturbance, and the police, who went to quell it, were attacked with sticks and stones, and one of them was shot in the breast and dangerously wounded. Several men were arrested, and some of them were found armed with revolvers. Ou Saturday morning it was di,covered that a clerk at Preston had absconded, taking with hint £BO of his employer's money, and the daughter of a " retired lady of ind,.pendent means." In a letter which the runaway was good enough to leave behind him he admits that lie has stolen the £BO, hopes to be forgiven, and assures the owner that be will repay the amount " some time." On Friday, the schooner Lorina, from Newcastle to Dundee, went ashore on the bank, at the river mouth, and the master and two of the crew were drowned. The weather was most tempestuous at the time. The crew had great difficulty in keeping themselves, alive until assistance was procured. It was hours before their rescue was accom plished by the crew of a fishing-boat. Their own vessel was too large to go close to the wreck, but they procured a small boat from the schooner Eclipse, and were only just i❑ time to save the shipwrecked crew, for the Loriva went to pieces almost simultaneously with the approach of the boat. DIVIDENDS ON FTIPLIC_I_ STOWS. On the motion of Mr. Stansfeld, a copy of the corres pondence has been published which has passed between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bank of England upon the subject of granting greater ' facilities to the public in the payment of divi- L (lends due upon the National Debt. On the 25th id January Mr. Lowe, writing to the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank, states that it had been brought under his notice that greater facilities were given to the public by railway and other large mercantile com panies in the payment of dividends than by the Bank of England, the governor being requested to consider whether similar facilities might not be accorded to the public fundholders. It was also pointed out that dividend warrants prepared in the shape of receipts, and transmitted to the holders of stock, or to their agents, would be negotiated through bankers in the ordinary way, not only without appreciable increase or risk to the Bank, but a relief tothe pressure upon the Bank during payment of the dividend, and considerable augrnen ta ticn of public convenience. ahe Chancellor of the Exche quer added that it was his intention to take into considera tion the question whether the coupons attached to stock certificates alight not, when they became due, be made payable to the several post-offices throughout the kingdom or be receivable in payment of taxes. A committee of the Bank was appointed to consider the propositions of Mr. Lowe, and they came to the con clusion that the proposals were full of difficulties, except the last. With respect to the use of the pest-office for the payment of the interest coupons, the committee suggested that a simple method of proceeding would be to authorise local postmasters to encash them when presented for the purpose. On the 14th of May Mr. Lowe again pressed the matter upon:the reconsideration of the Bank, pointing out the manner in which the dividend books might be divided in order to afford the necessary convenience to the public On the 22nd of July the governor and deputy-governor state that the court, sharing in Mr. Lowe's desire to make the public dividends as readily and conveniently accessible to the public creditor as might be possible, had authorised them to state—" 1. That they are prepared to give effect, under proper legal sanction, to the wish expressed in your letter of the 14th May last, so far as regards the optional payment of the dividends, by trans mission of the warrants through the post. 2nd. That, with regard to the second proposition, it appears to the court that your objection in recommending ' that fundholders residing at or near a town where there is a branch of the Bank of England should be allowed to draw their dividends from such branch bank,' will be substantially accomplished when the facilities already exist are combined with those now intended to be given in connection with the first proposition, and with the discontinuance of all pecuniary charge. 3. That the court are unable satisfactorily to entertain your third proposition, That, so soon as the necessary arrangements can be carried out, the dividends should be payable to the public quarterly, in place of half•yearly,' until they are better acquainted with the mode in which you contem plate carrying out your idea of a quarterly payment of the dividends on the public stocks." ANOTHER .DRINKING FOUNTAIN FROM AN INDIA X. On Monday her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Teck " inaugurated " a new drinking-fountain in the Legent's Park. The fountain was announced to be the gift of " Cowangee Jehangeep Ileadymoney, Esq.," a Parsee merchant of great wealth. This is the second fountain erected in London by gentlemen from Hindostan. That they should take any interest in such works has to many appeared strange. We have had communicated to us the way in which it " became fashionable" for them to do so. An Indian nabob hearing of a village (in Buckingham shire, we believe) which did not possess a single well or spring, and consequently that the inhabitants had to bring all the water they required a long distance, and with much toil, be sent to this country funds and instructions to bore for water until they could insure a good supply. This was done, and an artesian well was sunk, and a plentiful and constant supplyof water obtained. The well was protected by a handsome erection, a drawing of which appeared in the Illustrated London News. This attracted considerable attention in India, and fired the zeal of another Indian prince, the Maharajah of Vizianagr ann. This Prince was very faithful to British rule during the mutiny, and Lears the motto on his coat of arms of "Ever Loyal." Ile expressed the wish to erect a drinking fountain in the metropolis, and after long negotiations, a site was obtained in Hyde Park. The fountain was erected at a cost of £1,200, and was opened by his Royal Rigby:us the Duke of Cambridge last sum mer. It kis now the property of the Queen. Full reports of the opening appeared in the papers, and the 171vvtrafrd 8", , c) u tiktaai of tho fountain. Thus Mr. Headymoney was moved tv "go and do likewise." The result is the fountain inaugurated to-day. It cost £1,400. The structure from base to summit stands twenty-two feet, and is chiefly composed of Sicilian marble, intermixed with serpentine and with polished red Aberdeen granite. It is reached by three massive granite steps of sexagon form, the basement of the fountain being quadrangular, facing east, west, north, and south. There are four fountains falling from the centre of a lily flower into a large font-like looking basin, constructed of the polished red Aberdeen granite, resting upon pillars, and from each corner of the square tower springs a pediment, whilst the centre is of spiral form, beautifully sculptured, with appropriate designs representing water flowers of various descriptions, sur mounted at the apex with a group representing the lotus. On the southern front, above the panel intended for the inscription, is a very beautifully-sculptured head repre senting the donor wearing his Parsee cap, the face being unmistakably oriental. On the western front is the por- trait of the Queen. A few days ago, a Northern gentleman, when in Calais, accidentally met Mr. George Hudson in the Place d'Armes, and in a conversation, the ex•railway king expressed the gratitude, while tears ran down his cheeks, he owed to the press and the generous people of England. Mr. Hudson is now in a comfortable position. A serious nitro-glyceriue accident took place re cently in Brazil. A quantity bad been prozured for blasting experiments, but it was resolved not to use it on account of its evil reputation. Accordingly, six cans of it, containing 601b5., were taken in a launch to about a furlong's distance from the arsenal to be sunk in the bay, but, unhappily, ou throwing out the first can it exploded, the explosion ex tended to the others, the boat was blown to pieces with six of the crow, and the seventh man was rescued only to die soon after. THE DUNICELD BRIDGE AFFAIR. The cam paign b. tween Mr. Robertson, of DuudonnaeLie, and the DukA of Athole respecting the pontago at Duukeid Bridge still continues. Mr. Robertson has been sentenced by the Justices of the Peace, Perth, to !.). the whole of the damages sustained by the Duke and a line of £lO, or, in de fault, three months' imprisonment. Mr. Robertson gave notice of appeal to the Quarter Sessions. At another court in Perth thero was a stormy scene, arising from the same affair. The duke having prayed for an injunction to restrain Mr. Robertson from destroying the gate, the case was heard in the Sheriff Court before Mr. Sheriff Barclay. Mr. Robertson protested against the hearing, saying he be lieved the judge to be corrupt, and actuated by malice. The Sheriff would not agree to suspend proceedings, and the injunction was made perpetual, Mr. Robertson declaring ho would appeal. Popular sympathy is evidently rm the side of lie assau*.t, Lula the ixiiipoiary gate Las been again destroyed, and a reserve of flakes carried away to prevent its re-erection. Mr. Robertson was present, and is to be charged with disobeying the injunction. CARBON PRINTING. —All interesting account of carbon printing is given in the Daily Nocs. The two great difficulties of the photographer have always been the want of permanence in the photographs, and the difficulty of obtaining many copies at a cheap rate. To remedy the evil of fading photographs, artists have lately turned their attention to carbon printing, that is to say, to the production of pictures in other materials than that which, being affected by the light, originally produced the picture. Many years ago Mr. Becquerel noticed that the effect pro duced by the rays of the sun upon bichromate of potash depended upon the quantity of size in the paper used. When the paper was without size it was very slightly affected by the light. On this hint all the processes of carbon printing have been perfected. A coating o f gelatine is made sensitive by the application of bichromate of potash, and is exposed under a negative, such as is ordinarily used in photography, when all the parts Eat would become dark are affected to some perceptible depth, while the lights undergo no eliang , . Mr. Woodbury, th e inventor of a recent process, taking advantage of the different depths to which the sunlight has penetrated, having washed out the unaffected gelatine, takes a sup; of the piettms in r e li e f i n soft metal by the help of great pressure. These copies can be imitated for an indefinite number of times by various means. In large pictures this process is uncertain, but for copying cartes and small subjects it is perfect, and when a portrait is taken in the morning a number of copies may be ready on the same afternoon. Another process by which carbon printing has been performed on a large scale has be , la invented by Mr. Swan, of Newcastle. By this process large pictures may be executed with all the delicacy of a photograph, while they have the permanence of a print. The only drawback is, that it takes more time than Mr. Woodbury's invention. The Autotype Company, who are carrying on this process, are producing copies of the best continental pictures, while another firm is copying from English chef crccuvree. Brum 01 7 ‘ TEE ITZ3LIC JOITMTALI3, The Times, in referring to the withdrawal of the bill for legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and its threatened reappearance next session, remarks that we • are promised, therefore, continued abitation on this delicate and difficult subject. The social disturbance its prolonged discussion must cause is probably reflected in the obstinate animosity it has lately called forth. The fact is that, when once stirred, the question rouses very deep social and very keen religious feelings, and, whichever way it may ultimately be decided, we own to have but little sympathy with those who have raised it. We are at a loss to sec the hardship of restricting a man from a single family in choosing a second wife. The law demands only a very moderate degree of self-control, and those who have followed their own predilections against the judgment of the community have no right to represent themselves as in jured persons, and to demand that prescription and general rules should be upset for their private advantage. However, when the bill is again introduced, we trust it will be fairly as well as fully discussed, and that it sill net be met with the kind of opposition it has encountered in t►he gresent session. No proposal can be permanently defeated by such means. It is possible that full and seri ous debates might lead to such an expression of public opinion as would discourage the promoters of the mea sure ; but to resist them by the mere forms of the House is simply to furnish them with au excuse and a provoca tion to persistence. It is probable that the whole mar. riage law of the ed Kingdom will shortly come under review, and this particular point would be most properly considered in connection with the whole subject. The thing is not one which should be done in a hurry or refused in a passion. It is one of grave social concern, and should receive proportionate consideration. The Post, in reviewing the work of the session, says that the Government have carried an Irish Church Bill, they have passed a Bankruptcy and an Imprisonment for Debt Bill, and by conducting the Endowed Schools Bill to a successful issue they at least have lifted the education question over the threshold. Each of these acts is a great achievement, and confers a national benefit. Certainly the first could not have been brought to accomplishment --perhaps neither of the others could—without the com mand by the First Minister of such a majority as has not been at any stateman's back since Sir Robert Peel walked ❑p the House of Commons as the representative of a change in commercial policy in 1842. It was said that Mr. Gladstone's majority was too cumbersome for manoeuvre, and too large and heterogeneous for control, and it was prophesied that it would melt away from its leader, just as the Highland clans were wont to do in the times of old when the day of plunder was over and the discomforts of campaigning commenced. It has not so turned out. Mr. Gladstone has gone through the session without the loss of an adherent, and he has done his work without disturb. ing the balance established by constitutional theory and custom between the various elements of legiela tive power, and without bringing into collision the two Houses which constitute the Parliament of the kingdom. The credit, however, of this particular result, it must be owned, is not due solely to Mr. Gladstone. It is not unknown that, in regard to the differences of opinion between the Lords and Commons, the First Minister did not primarily exhibit the temper. ateness of view and that sagacity which ultimately determined the policy of his Cabinet, and the avoidance of a collision between the two Houses is probably more to be ascribed to the influence of some of his own party, and to the moderation and determination of some of the lead ing members of the Opposition, than to any action or declaration on his part. There rests with him, however, in any event, a sufficiency of credit to enable him to bear this abstraction without suffering from it. " My heart's in the Highlands, it's not in the House ; my heart's in the Highlands, a shooting the grouse !" Such, we can imagine, says the Telegraph, is the little song that is singing Itself just now in the mind of many a weary member, tired of disestablishment, disen dowment, hot air, and late hours. The enthusiasts of the gun, however, must still " bide a wee." The Twelfth is at hand—that memorable day in relation to which we read that " grouse-shooting begins," and that " leg-before wicket was introduced in the year 1775." Next week w be the week of the moorlands ; but we have entered fairly on the week of the waters. Every day of it has a racing "fixture" some of them in the most unlikely-looking places. Gentle, or simple, amateur or professional, there is a chance for everbody. On the various club-lists, many of which are anything but exclusive, there now stand at least two thousand yachts, with a computed aggregate tonnage as a minimum of fifty thousand tons, and employing, when even half of them are in commission at the same time, several thousand sailors, to say nothing of owners and owners' friends. It takes something more than mere vague talk about "fashion" to account for such figures and facts as these ; and candid critics, home or foreign, will confess that the truest, as it is the simplest, explanation of them is to be found in the character of the English themselves and in their hereditary love for the sea. Hence there is a satis factory suhstratum of earnestness and purpose under all the festivity and merrymaking of the island. Nor, were the case otherwise, would any elaborate pleading seem necessary to shew that, after all, man —especially woman—has a right to be amused, and that there are few pleasanter ways of spending an idle week than in saun tering about a pretty little watering place with "some thing on the card" for every day in the week; something to look at, if not actually to do ; something, at any rate, to mitigate that horrible sensation of ennui which often afflicts an industrious Englishman at the commencement of his holiday. There is nothing prettier in the Three Kingdoms than the scenery of the Isle of Night; there are no brighter waters than those which surround it ; and if the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta should fail in 1869 to please and amuse those by whom it is witnessed, it will so fail foz the first time. The Daily News says that all who mix much with the clergy know that great curiosity has existed amongst the members of the Church as to the principles on which Mr. Gladstone would exercise the higher patronage of the Crown. Mr. Disraeli proved a great bishop-maker, having appointed no fewer than five sees ; and it seems not improbable that Mr. Gladstone may have to elevate as many clergymen to the chief places in the Church. Mr. Gladstone's first important appointment is that of the Rev. W. C. Lake to the deanery of Durham. We may venture to conjecture that in this nomination, as in the offer of the same benefice to Dr. Temple, Mr. Gladstone has sought to acknowledge valuable services rendered to the public in the work of education ; and no one, it believes, will challenge the appropriateness of the reward. But just as this post is filled, a more important one is rendered vacant by the death of the Bishop of Salisbury. The deceased prelate was devoted to his work ; but long before he had been laid aside by ill-health his extreme ecclesiastical opinions had greatly diminished the influence of his high personal character over his clergy. Mr. Gladstone will doubtless think it right to take the recent history and present con dition of the diocese into account when giving Dr. Hamilton a successor. Referring to the supposed nomi. nation of the Rev. H. P. Liddon to the see, the Daily New says be is, no doubt, marked out by special gifts and attainments for a very distinguished place in - the Church ; he is its greatest preacher ; if not a great divine, he has produced the List Barnpton Lectures on a doe trinal subject which have been delivered for many years ; and he has never made a false step. A man, however, may be all this, and yet make an inferior administrator - - of a diocese and without the least desire to contest Mr. Liddon's title to advancement, we may say confidently that there are many among the working clergy as good as ho. It may be safely predicted that Mr. Gladstone's desire will be to appoint the most suitable man to the office, without distinction of party. The Standard thinks that the case which has just reached its termination, for the present, at the Assizt Court at Cardiff, is one of the deepest public and domestic interest ; one whose final decision interests every famil3 - and every father in the kingdom, whatever their religion opinions, and whatever their rank in society. It matten nothing that in this particular instance the plaintiff is oat of a sect and of a class which excite, and perhaps deserve ; no sort of sympathy in their religious or commercia capacity_a Jew and a pawnbroker. It matters nothing that the defendant is a Dissenting minister. In the next similar case the offender may be a llomish priest, and th, sufferer may be a Protestant gentleman. The question involved is simply this : whether the zeal of religion• )roselyLism can or cannot with impunity override all tl. restraints of social duty, and violate rights anterior an, superior to all differences of creed ; whether a daughte cau b e withd r awn from her parent's rocf and conceale• from his search while undergoing the process of "con 'ersion," without any possibility of inflicting condig , ninishinent on all concerned in her abduction? Even i he verdict of the kir: ) , iiouhl stand, it is far from Kai,. actory. Tire case is one which concerns every father of : 'airily in the decpcst and closest manner. We must, i conclusion, express our regret that it does not seem t have been so regarded by the Wesh Dissenters. We hea o f no censure passed on Mr. Thomas ; no steps taken t expel him from the ministry, or even to bring him account before his communion for conduct which, if no legally criminal, ought unquestionably to exclude an man from the pulpit. We would fain believe that till neglect proceeds, not from any indifference to the gravitl of the offence, but simply fr om a w i s h t o wa i t until th.. case had been investi g ated nos. in a court o f l aw . But nos. that the case bas been tried and the facts are proved, n. time ought to be lost in purging the Baptist commun it \ from all connection with those who have been concernet' in it, and in affixing a strong censure on every person wh, took part, in whatever manner, in the removal of Esthe) Lyons from Cardiff, and her concealment from tho scare] of her parents. - --- ‘• • 1 - 1 :1 h Vkhla a / , afi rat L.l(iinYitsiu - ,) HER 111,1JESTY.
