He stated that so great were the difficulties in the way from want of organisation, that when he was preparing his education scheme, he found himself obliged to leave London out altogether, dealing with it separately later on. Mr. BRUCE indeed was altogether surprised out of his official reticence. He frankly acknowldeged to the deputation which waited upon him that he thought there had been already sufficient inquiry, and that the time for action was come. Contrary to most mal contents, the gentlemen who waited upon him were really prepared to deal practically with the grievance of which they complained. They submitted a well considered scheme for amending our local govern ment by removing the power from the vestries, with out running the risk of that dangerous centralisation to which Englishmen have so strong and so well founded an objection. This plan proposes to divide Lon_ don into a certain number of municipalities, the Cor poration of the City of Lo n d on retaining its have position. Each of these muni c ip a li t i es is complete self-government in its own province, while it has also been suggested that a general municipal corporation might be formed for the whole of the metropolis. The number of these municipalities has been variously estimated from seven to nine, and there is no reason to suppose that they would not work industriously, intelligently, and efficiently. In all our country towns and cities, like Liverpool, Man chester, and Birmingham, the municipal system works excellently, and we should be amazed if we heard that such places had determined to give up, or put down, their mayor and his colleagues, and to substi tute our cumbrous and uomanageable vestries in their place. No one objects to the Corporation of the City, and there is no very plain or manifest reason why the City should be governed differently from the rest of London. Under the new arrangement there would at least be a degree of unity and simplicity in the direction of affairs which at present we cannot lay claim to, and we should be able to try the effect of bringing a higher order of intel ligence to bear upon our parochial questions. We should get men of a different stamp to govern us through municipalities from those who rate us in the THE THIRD EDiTION OF " THE SUN," givin g all the SPORTLN G NEWS of the day, may be seen at JFM it YMtNION 'S house, " The Swan and Horse Shoe," Littlepritaln, City, E.C. 711 O'S GRAIN G E R?

He is able to deliver copies in Town, the Suburbs, and in many parts of the country at a comparatively early hour the same eveningosay 40 miles by 9.45 o'clock _ _ _ IT was stated during the long and stormy debates on the Reform Bill that Mr. DISRAELI persevered with his measure in spite of difficulties that would have overwhelmed an ordinary man, because of his great desire to have his name written in the statute-book. Until then he had succeeded in pass ing no measure of importance, and he was seeing life ebb away with no lasting memorial of him. In the end Mr. DISRAELI succeeded in passing two measures of first-class importance, the Reform Bill and the Corrupt Practices Bill. It must be con fessed that these offspring of the ex-Premier's statesmanship are treating the author of their being with gross ingratitude. 'ACT EON devoured by his own clogs did not present a more heart-moving, tear compelling spectacle than Mr. DISRAELI suffering under the effects of his two great statutes. The Reform Act placed him in a minority of about 112. The Corrupt Practices Act is reducing that minority still more. One after another Conservative M.P. is being unseated; one after another of the great triumphs of Conservative reaction is turning out to be due to Conservative gold or to Conservative intimidation. Sir HENRY STRACEY has been unseated at Norwich, Sir RICHARD GLASS at Bewdley, Sir Anriren GUINNESS at Dublin, and Mr. PHIPPS at Westbury. Mr. RIPLEY, though a Liberal, was the champion of the Conservative party at Bradford, and he, too, has been unseated. On the other hand, the Conservatives have vainly endeavoured to unseat Mr. EYKYN at Windsor, Mr. ONSLOW at Guildford, Messrs. GAVIN and RUSSELL at Limerick, Mr. DALWAY at Carrickfergus, Mr. M'CLUItE at Belfast, Mr. R YLANDS a t W arr ington, Mr. FORSTER at Bradford, and they have withdrawn their petitions against Mr. Par at Dublin and Mr. MONCREIFF in Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities. Only two Liberals have lost their seats through Con servative agency, and one of these by an informality on the part of the sheriff. Only one, therefore, Mr. WHITWORTH, at Drogheda, has been unseated on account of electoral malpractices. The judges are sterner men than M.P.'s. Their lordships will not sanction the lame and impotent conclusions which hon. members used to arrive at. They would think it monstrous to declare, as the Great Yarmouth Election Committee declared, that bribery had ex tensively prevailed, so extensively that the borough had to be disfranchised, and yet suffer the bribers to retain their seats. Moreover, the judges have ideas of their own respecting intimidation, ideas of a very different kind from those entertained by members of the Legislature. As intimidation likely j h t e i a s t r c o e f a w g i o r, o L d E s m a a t n din l y ve e s c t b s u i o ry s . was always a f avour it e weapon with the Conservative like a w t e g a il r - e en lil b e y As it is, the list of unseated members is already for midably long, and there is still a week before Par liament meets, and a good many weeks afterwards, in which to increase it. As yet the majority of cases in which the mem bers have been unseated have been cases of bribery or treating. There was bribery at Norwich and Dublin, treating at Bewdley and Bradford, for instance. Here there were two parties to each offence—the party bribing or treating, and the party bribed or treated. But while there were thus two offences committed in each act ; while there was the unlawful purchase and the unlawful sale of a vote, and so a double wrong, neither act was in itself so bad as intimidation, in which there is only one offender. It is a sin to purchase a vote, but at least the purchaser leaves to the other the free exercise of his will. He buys what he ought not to buy, it is true; but he does not rob. Intimidation is nothing less than robbery. The person guilty of undue influence goes up to a voter, if in England, and says to him, in the spirit, if not in the language of the highwayman, "Your vote or your livelihood. Vote for my man, or I will turn you out of house and home, and turn you off from your employment to starve in the streets." If it is an Irish election, the offender says, "Vote for my man or I will denounce you from the altar, I will withhold the sacraments from you, I will damn you to all eternity." It is nothing to the point that he has no power to influence his victim's ever- lasting fate ; the victim believes that he has, and yields accordingly. In neither instance does the intimidator leave the voter the small consolation of feeling that if he has not got the free use of his vote he has at least something in exchange for it ; that if his conscience has been violated his pocket has been filled. There are really no words too strong to con demn the man guilty of undue influence, whether he be a Roman priest at Drogheda or a Wiltshire manu facturer at Westbury. We commented upon the first case at the time. The second, which has just been settled, is as bad as bad can be. Westbury is a borough for the most part under the control of one or two resident land- owners. Chief of them is Sir MASSEY LOPES, who represented the place in the last and some pre ceding Parliaments, but who abandoned his safe seat in his pocket borough in order to fight the battle of his party in South Devon. Westbury is one of those small decaying Wiltshire towns in which the manufacture of woollen cloths, once confined to the West of England, is still carried on after a feeble fashion. The town contains two manufacturers —one of them, Mr. LAVERTON, the Liberal candidate at the last election ; the other, Mr. HARROP, whose conduct has led to the unseating of the Conservative candidate, Mr. PHIPPS. Mr. HAnnoP was not only a political opponent of Mr. LAVERTON'S, but a rival in business, and feeling for his competitor all that petty but bitter jealousy which is to be found in small country towns, and would astonish centres of industry like Bradford or Leeds. From the first Mr. LAVERTON'S candidature was a very sore matter with Mr. HAnnoP. He early called upon his workmen to say which way they intended to vote. They, in order to prevent unpleasantness, fenced with their employer's most improper question by saying that they did not intend to vote at all. It was argued by the counsel for the sitting member that this was a promise, and that Mr. HARROP would not have minded if the men had The first article in the Dublin University Magazine, "Early Norman Fret ch Literature," contains a good deal of varied information. It is a proof that conquerors cannot force their language upon the conquered ; that the language now spoken in France is essentially the same as was heard two thousand years ago, modified at a sub sequent period by additions from the Latin. " The Lays of Marie de France " contain some very curious sketches of the loves and wars of ancient times. The chivalric romances kept their ground for five centuries, thus enjoying a longer life than any other class of literature in the country. "My Own Sto " continues the well-t o ld a d ventures o f ry Edith Aubrey. The concluding passage of the race that was run by the two ladies is described with great ani mation, and the unfortunate result to the heroine is not to be wondered at. "The Wyverel Mystery" is the title of a new t a l e w hi c h f u lfil s th e promise of its name from the outset, but cannot be much recommended for anything else. It is well adapted to the taste of the lovers of romance, and the adventures of the heroine are most extraordinary. " The Theatre Royal, Dublin," pre sents some interesting accounts of the theatrical doings of the years 1841 to 1845. Many of those whose names are here mentioned as great theatrical celebrities no I longer adorn th e s t age ; b ut t hi s rec it a l o f their triumphs will prove attractive • to many readers. " The Railway Problem in Ireland and Belgium " is the subject of the last paper, and it offers some useful statistics to those who are studying the subject. A comparison has been instituted between the railways of Belgium and Ireland, but the cases are not quite similar. The coal produce of Bel gium is 11,840,000 tons, that of Ireland 123,950 tons. The iron produ ce o f B elgium in 1865 was 1,018,231 t ons ; that of Ireland, in 1866, 25,525 tons. The advantages which Belgium possesses in minerals have caused a large passenger traffic and an immense traffic in goods. In both countries there is a mile of railway for about the same number of persons, 2,850. In. Belgium the third-class passengers are much more nume rous than in Ireland, and the amount a goods and mineral traffic is six times as great. If the Belgian standard of fares and rates were adopted in Ireland, the result would be an immediate los s of 44 per cent. on the same amount of passenger traffic, and of 46 per cent. on goods. The Commissioners do not propose quite so large a reduction, but are of opinion that any reduction of passenger fares in Ireland to be beneficial must be on short and long traffic equally. By the adoption of the new system they be lieve that in twelve years there would be a balance in favour of the exchequer. Belgravia is more diversified than usual. Fiction, of course, is largely represented, Miss Braddon finishes " Charlotte's Inheritance," and her place will be taken next month by M rs . Hue y. Mr. Sala tells a story about a prude, by way of warning to young ladies in general, and engaged ones in particular. Mr. btigand descends from the loftier work of quarterly reviewing to writing a read able paper about Byron and the Countess Guiccioli. Mr. Escott, having justcompleted a new edition of " Juvenal," gives a few pages about Intellectual Solace. Mr. Thorn bury continues his interesting ossip about Lond on Theatres and Lond on A ctors. Mr. J oseph Hatton, known well to Worcester news readers, o ff ers Fragments of an Old File" in th e s h ape of historical extracts from Berrow's Worcester Journal which he n ow e dits. Dr. Scoffern con tributes prose in the shape of a chapter on Suffolk Witches; poetry in the shape of a translation of Anacreon's fourth ode. Mr. Patterson discourses of "Sensationalism in Science," a propos of " photospheres." " Mr. Gladstone's Autobiography," by a clergyman of the Church of England, in Macmillan's Magazine, can hardly fail at this juncture to attract the reader's atten tion, and the Premier's warmest admirers may well be I satisfied with a writer who aims at reconciling the policy of 18j$ with the book of 1838, and defending the states. The February number of St. Paul's contains some really good articles, chief of which are " The New Cabinet, and what it will do for us," and " The Administration of the Army." The writer of the former—probably the editor of the magazine, Mr. Anthony Trollope—after rejoicing on the advent of the Liberals topower, speaks of the action likely to be taken by the new Government On the Irish Church. He thinks that after the Church bas been disestablished the revenues should be used for religious purposes and that they should be divided among the three Churches known in Ireland—the Roman Catholic, the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the Presbyterian, according to the popula tion. This, it will be seen, is something of the same kind as Earl Russell has lately proposed, and which has been condemned by Liberals and Conservatives alike. The author of the article on " The Administration of the Army" contends that the chief defect in our military a d m inistration —the absence of one supreme au th or it y — ls so serious and so far-reaching in its consequences, that there can be no difficulty in assert ingat once that anecessary condition to a sound and healthy management of army affairs is to render the Commander in-Chief wholly subordinate to the Secretary of State, and to make his position simply that of a military assistant to the civil head of our army. To this end his office should be under the same roof, and that staff with which he works should be identical with that of the War Minister. The Minister of State, as the paid servant of the country, ought to be required and enabled to give his undivided attention, un distracted by professional matters and technical questions, to the vigilant control over the appropriation of the large sums voted for army service. " The Sermon Trade" connected with the Church of England is severely condemned. The writer comes to the conclusion that no man ought to be permitted to preach publicly until he has given evidence before his bishop of his competence to do so. But he con siders that the best and surest cure of all is, that extem pore or oral preaching should be cultivated and aimed at, if not—as amongst the Wesleyan Methodists— absolutely insisted upon. The other articles in the maga zine deal with " The Disposal and Control of our Criminal Cl asses ;" an interesting reminiscence of " The Last Lynx " in a former royal forest of Burgundy; " Gibbon's Autobiographical Memoirs," and " Life Studies." " A Song of Angiola on Earth" is made up of pretty similes and happy expressions. The two tales " The Sacristan's Household" and " Phineas Finn" are continued. The latter seems to drag some what heavily, and does not possess that interest which the opening chapters led the reader to expect. Under the Crown, a new and deserving candidate for public favour, has reached its second number. It adopts the principle of short articles, and amid a great variety of contributions contains much that is excellent. The verses are generally good ; and " Unter den dunkeln Linden," in particular, is very pretty. There is a serial story, " Little France," which promises remarkably well; and some short tales, of which " How I was Buried Alive," and " Left on Board "—the latter an exciting story of a blockade-runner during the American war— are remarkably interesting. " Not a Chance," by Tom II oe 1, is somewhat thin. • Amongst the miscel laneous papers, Mr. F. T. Palgrave's "Fortnight in Por tugal in 1859" occupies a prominent place; but there is a careful paper—the first of a series—on the Progress of Landscape Painting, and an article on Pauperism con sidered from an historical point of view—a more than usually good contribution to the literature of this subject. Mr. Hooper gives an interesting account of the great Egyptian Fair at Tantah, and there is a short paper on the Reform of the Musical Pitch in England, some. brief notes under the head of " Miscellanea," and Notices of Books. The staff of the new magazine is evidently very strong. A magazine commanding such a great variety of good writing ought to speedily attain a high position. A Liberal contemporary has the following The present Government is so clearly determined to ro duce the Civil Service estimates that we can scarcely be lieve the story we are now going to repeat. The place of secretary to the Board of Works, to which a salary o f £1,200 a year was attached, became vacant a short time since. Two rival claimants at once started up _ eac h with his own claims and his own patrons—or, more strictly speaking, one with his claim, and the other w ith his patron. Tho economically disposed G overnment so l ve d the difficulty by appointin g b o th competitors, as joint secre t ar ies at the reduced rate of £l,OOO a year each. The place of assistant - secretary has, it is true, b een a b o li shed, waslongago condemned as an unnecessary expense, attached to it b u t suc h as could be discharged b the secretary or th e sen i or c l erks. Is it really true twthylilatt it either ththil o ese duties appointments have been made ?" kept their word; that, iu fact, their offence--the LIGHTS ON THE' ALTAI?, Dean Stanley, of Westminster, in a sermon 01 gnalT, made some referende to li g ht e d can dl es on th e a ltar. 111 ' asid text was, "I am the light o f th e world." He '',- that during the past week they had observed t. 4° Feast of the "Purification," commonly Called '` Ca n t' mas," in connection with which it had been former times, as it was . now in some Pia c i the custom to give adorati on t o can dl es, as a 1331. Christian worship. That custom had its origin in ° le " circumstances-Ist, the offering of human remains, f°t which candles came afterwards to be substituted , 9.1/ sacrifices; and 2nd, in the search of the goddess Ceres f. cl her daughter Proserpine. Out of these circumstan ce° candles came to be lighted at the Holy Communion, which was at that time celebrated in the evening, and f°l the convenience of those who celebrated their ecclesiastil rites in the dark n e ss o f th e ca t acom b s o f R o me, 31 ; were meant for the signifi ca ti on th a t Ch r i s t was the VP" of the world. The candles which used to express t hat doctrine had long been extinguished, and had passed aei °l from the performance of divine worship, but not s° th ~e f doctrine they sig n ifi e d, f or Ch r i s t was st ill t h e light '"? the world. What was the meaning of that doctrine It was simply that light and not darkness was the att u°. sphere in which the Church ought to live. There werer o ' and had always been, characters to whom secrecy, °l °. tery, and concealment seemed to be the breath of h' e ' disciples, apparently, of that crafty French politician n ll , ° said that language was g i ven t o man t o con ceal 111 thoughts. Against such a state of things he protestealli contending that light should be the atmosphere in wh ie all our practice and doct r i ne s h ou ld b e ex hibit e d, for th ey might depend upon it that in th e Ch urc h o f G o d the SP' r ' t of God would bri g ht en more an d more unto t h e perfec t day which was coming. THE IRISH CHUI?CH AND CONVoCAOIOII 2he Lord Bishops of the Irish Church are very indigl i t because the Gover nmen t w ill no t a ll ow C onvoca ti o n t°' called. The Primate of Ireland has just- laid befor e . : meeting of twelve of them the reply of the Home Se c r w ; tary. In default of Convocation eleven out of the tive`. l % - declare they are prepared at once to take counsel 01 1 - 4 their clergy in synod or otherwise. But their lords feel how inadequate this step would be unless they e° ll ` l , 7 also secure the counsel and co-operation of the laity. P., this co-operation may best be given they do not deterol'l.:l' but they earnestly invite the laity of the Church in the ' r dioceses to consult on this matter, and IA": so done to communicate with them. This O' s . lution is preceded by two others, in which t ile; refuse to enter into negotiations with the G or , et , e‘ ment .on the Irish Chu rc h ques ti on : fi rs t , b eca use tel have no authority to do so ; and because they are bol d to resist all measures for ch ang i ng th e s t a t us o f th e Chi c ., u c To these resolutions the Bi s h o p o f D own an d C o nnor 1 1 issued a protest.

Mr. Brogden, the member for Wednesbury, has been en tertained at a complimentary dinner at West Bromwich. The hon. member, who was well received, referred to the re cent Liberal triumph, and the formation of a Government on Liberal principles. In dwelling upon the work which was laid out for tho new Ministers to perform, he turned to the question of expenditu-e, and declared that iu this respect they could already form some idea of the intentions of the Government. A reduction of at least three millions was, it is said, to bo made in the esti mates. This was in itself au earnest of good ; and besides it afforded hope that perseverance in the policy which effected a saving of three millions might do yet more for the tax payers of the country. The Irish Church question must be considered, and ho thought that no earnest-minded clergyman of the Church of England had any ground for apprehension with regard to the policy of Mr. Gladstone and its effect upon religion. Measures of justice were not likely to have a bad effect upon religion. Ho did not think that the policy of the Cabinet was quite settled as yet with respect to disendowment, but he felt sure that the question would be proposed by the Ministry in a manner which would settle to the fullest extent every claim of justice. Prince Arthur is to pay a visit to Ireland next month. So says the Irish Times. The Athenzuni states that Brigham Young has had an attack of apoplexy, but has rallied from it. The Archbishop of York on Friday opened two new churches at Sheffield. Ono of them has been erected at a cost of £12,000 by Sir John Brown, and the other is the gift of Mr. H. Wilson, a snuff merchant. The Lords of the Admiralty have decided that the sum of money devoted to experiments shall be reduced this year from £12,000 to £2,000. This is a sensible reduction from the £30,000, which sum was annually taken during the infancy of armour-plates. Colonel Jervis, M.P., Mr. Round, M.P., and Col.
