That centenary occurring as it does in the midst of a political conjuncture so propitious for France, affords the reigning EMPEROR a magnificent opportunity. Of this opportunity NAPOLEON 111. will surely avail himself. He has but very recently prepared the way for it. A comparatively brief interval has elapsed since he anticipated whatever adverse decision might have been preparing through the Corps Legislatif in reference to the obnoxious system of Personal Go vernment, by spontaneously and of his own free will, substituting for that rigid system of Personal Government, pure and simple, many of the more im portant guarantees or sureties of Responsible, or, as it is also called, Parliamentary Government. The elections had hardly been completed, the newly chosen representatives had not yet commenced their regular legislative proceedings, when the SOVEREIGN announced, as we all perfectly well remember, for the incident, so to speak, is but ono of yesterday, a series of bold, practical, and comprehensive conces sions, the actual carrying out of which will, in the most effective manner possible, be the Crowning of the Edifice. Since that new and peace ful coup d'etat, which was as startling in its way as any coup de theatre that could be named, doubts have sprung up as to the sincerity of the EMPEROR'S intentions, and as to the solidity of the boons vouchsafed by him to the forty millions of France. The abrupt closing of the Corps Legislatif itself was regarded upon the instant by the more extreme politicians of the Left, as of itself an ominous and even sinister incident. For ourselves we cannot for an instant regard it as having had about it any such evil significanc. For, we view it as a blunder rather than as a hostile movement. It was not a crime—it was a mistake. Then, again, as to the character of the reconstructed y. Many of the ultra Democrats, many of those implac able foes of the Empire, who would put the worst possible construction upon anything NAPOLEON 111. might possibly do, recognised in it at once evidence of a determination, ou the EMPEROR'S part, to " keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope," namely, by replacing the energetically servile Ministry, as they called it, of the Vice Emperor, M. RouIIER, with a Ministry of Political Nobodies, a Alinistry of mere—lnsignificants ! The simple truth being, here, again, that the EM PEROR w 2, s doing the very best be possibly could do, in the sudden emergency and ander the actual circuinstance3. It is notorious and absolutely undeniable, to begin with, that advances were made to the moderate chiefs of the Tiers Parti that M. EMILE OLLIVIER and one or two of his principal associates, were invited to take office in the newly constructed and thorougly liberalised Govern rnent. Those advances, as everybody knows, failed solely because M. OLLwxErt an 1 his friends wished to have a monopoly of seats in the Cabinet. They wanted at once to b.:co:no the dolninant influence in the Administration. That they s'aould possess a numerical preponderance they made a condition. Upon that simple stipulation alone, they would con sent to accept office in the inner circle of the Go- As a matter of course, therefore, the negotiations— brought to this preposterous iisue—fell through. A condition of that kind, a stipulation so utterly extravagant is itself, the EMPEROR could IT is satisfactory to find that the committee to whom the " battle of the sites " for the New Law Courts was referred has decided in favour of the locality first chosen. Our readers will not need to be vernment. informed that it is in contemplation to build a vast Palace of Justic in London, so as to unite under one roof all the tribunals now scattered about in different parts of the metropolis. For this great national work a site was purchased on the north side of the Strand, just outside Temple Bar. The existing buildings were demolished, and about £BOO,OOO spent, when the British mind, with its customary astuteness, began to awake to the fact that a better place than this Carey-street site might be found. Why not construct the courts on the south side of the Strand, on the space adjoining the Thames Embankment? On the Carey-street site, it was said, the Palace would be lost in obscurity ; on the Embankment it would be a great national monument, equal to any thing to be found by the waters of the Seine. True, the original ground had been bought and cleared, but it might be sold again at an advantage or utilised for some other purpose. For a long time the battle raged furiou - ly, the " artists " supporting the Emb an k men t s it e , the lawyers urging that the original groun d s h ou ld be retained, and the general public gradually becoming convinced that the Courts would never be constructed anywhere. When the Liberal Ministry came into office the question was speedily put, Did they intend to adopt the suggestion as to the Thames Embankment, or to go on with the building on the ground already cleared ? To the amazement of everybody, Mr. LOWE declared that he would have neither one locality nor the other. The Embankment was too costly, and so was the Carey-street site; for though £BOO,OOO had been expended the ground was not large enough, and more would be needed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER decided in favour of a third site, to be on the Embankment, but very different from the ori ginal Embankment site. Some back streets were to be cleared away, and there the " Palace" was to La reared on a reduced plan, without a frontage to the Strand. The suggestion was monstrous. Never was public outcry more legitimately raised. For the first Embankment site there was something to be said. There the Palace would be very costly, but it would be a magnificent national ornament. On Mr. LOWE'S site the Courts would be no orna ment whatever, and it is by no means certain that any great sum would be saved. For we know what we have to pay for the ground adjoining Carey-street; it is already purchased; but Mr. LowE's calculations might turn out to be widely short of the mark. It is true that the Carey-street ground will not be large enough for the original scheme ; but it is amply sufficient for Mr. LowE's reduced plan, and why not, therefore, adopt it ? The outcry produced by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex cuEquEn's decision led to the appointment of a committee which has decided in favour of the ori ginal site. The result is satisfactory from more than one reason, not the least of which is that when hundreds of men are waiting for employment, it is highly inexpedient that public works be needlessly deferred. ❑ot, in reason, be expected for an instant seriously to entertain. His MAJESTY had to do the best he could, and he has decided as he has decided. Tran sition Ministry, you may call it if, you will, but, under the urgency of the case, it was the best that could in any way have been constructed. M. ROUHER was gone as Minister of State. He was relegated to the Presidency of the Senate. He had played his part, and had played it splendidly, so long as the order of the day in France, under the Second Empire, was Personal Government. As administrator, as de bater, as orator, as Vice-Emperor, if you will—for the sneer almost amounts to an eulogium—he was not simply first and foreunst among the Ministers of NAPOLEON 111. He stood alone—there was no one who could came _near him—in hi s Office, i n the Chamber, in the Tribune, he was facile princeps, he was simply unapproachable. Any Ministry of France, succeeding an Administra tion, at the head of which had been such a Minister of State as M. ROUHER, must, perforce, appear intel lectually to a disadvantage, with M. R.OUIIER swept out of the way, and the Ministry of State itself abo lished. But the fact that it was so—the fact that so prominent a statesman was swept out of the way, and that the very office he had so long held was thus summarily abolished—while it might, as it undoubt edly did, make the newly - installed Ministry look insignificant by comparison, was of it self a guarantee of the EMPEROR'S sincerity in the reforms upon which his MAJESTY had adven tured. Constructing the new Cabinet out of the best materials ready to his hand, that Cabinet, such as it is -in the fact that it is without M. ROURER, and even without M. ROUIIER'S office—is distinctly to the credit and honour of the ex-Minister of State's imperial master, NAPOLEON 111. Whatever doubts have been awakened, however, by purely inadvertent, or as it might be said by simply fortuitous circum stances over which the EMPEROR had, comparatively speaking, little or no controI—NAPOLEON 111. may now before the close of another fortnight, or immediately upon the close of another fortnight, that is, upon the return of the anniversary of the birth of the glorious Founder of his Dynasty exactly One Century ago, by one supplementary act, by, so to speak, one additional stroke of the pen utterly and resplendently dissipate. Conscious of this, recognis ing this, as a magnificent opportunity now imme diately within the EMPEROR'S grasp, we are in no way surprised to note now the happy auguries in the news from Paris as to the probable character of the Senatus Consultum now in active preparation, or to hear, coupled with those, rumours of a General Amnesty as in readiness, as a fitting act of grace, for the celebration of the Napoleonic Centenary. The Tribune of July 15th says :—" Mons. Cite- Stromn the famous New Zealander, after he has valier, so far as we know, Las not yet set out on his completed his sketch of the ruins of St. Paul's, balloon voyage hence to Europe. lle is probably awaiting choose to sur v ey th e p rov i nc i a l re li cs o f th e B r iti s h (as iv prudent) the arrival of the a er i a l s hip A v it or from San Francisco direct.

He will learn that about A.D. 1859 a few French colonels threw the whole of this then powerful people into a fright by a little bluster about invasion. He will find that, in consequence of that panic, and not as the result of calm conviction, we decided to protect ourselves against these belligerent French officers by heaping up impregnable works along our shores, that we were soon ashamed of our fears, and still more ashamed of the means by which we sought to pacify them; but that having commenced the Folly, we were constrained to incur the lesser ridicule of completing it in order to escape the greater ridicule of leaving it half unfinished. All hope that the fortifications will prove of any real service has long since been abandoned. That certain strong places may be of great utility in war no one doubts ; but that the principle of fortifications can be so extended as to include all the salient points of a country is perfectly impracticable. No such system of defence could be rendered complete; and the nearer it approached completion the greater would be the difficulty of finding men to man the works. It is even doubtfu: whether the defences already made would not prove of greater service to the enemy than to ourselves. The forces required to garrison the defences of Plymouth, for instance, are estimated at about 25,000 men. In case of invasion, these works cannot be left unmanned, lest they should be seized, and prove a protection, instead of an annoyance, to the foe. If, on the other hand, an effective garrison were provided, the scene of operations might be selected in another quarter, and thus a powerful detachment would be rendered hors de combat. The fortification scheme, in short, instead of being a defence, is opposed to the most approved principle of defence. If the danger of invasion must be guarded against, it is now generally admitted that a powerful concentrated force, capable of rapid movement from post to post, is the best protection. The scheme which was the offspring of the panic is devised on precisely the opposite principle. It splits the defending force into fragmentary garrisons, incapable of rapid and effective concentration. Nobody, however, now defends the fortifications. The smallest measure of censure accorded to the scheme is that its utility will in no wise be equal to its cost. Considering that the works will require an enormous sum to keep them in repair, as well as to construct them, this is very mild blame indeed. Unfortunately, it is too late for repentance. Four fifths of the scheme has been carried out. Of the eight millions originally thought of, six have been sunk, and half a million has been cut off from the estimate. As to the remaining million and a half, there seems no help for it—it must be spent. These defences will not in any case be regarded by succeed ing generations as a monument of British wisdom. But we should appear still more ridiculous if we left them to crumble to dust half finished. Complete, they may probably serve as barracks or warehouses, or be utilised in some way so es to conceal the absurdity of their original conception; to have them mouldering about us like the Pyramids would be intolerable. Captain BEAUMONT, on Friday, brought forward a proposition to reduce the size of two forts, so as to save a sum of £225,000, but it is by no means clear that it would have been wise to accept his proposition. Had it referred to inland forts, the proposed retrenchment would be gratifying indeed; but the works referred to are at Spithead, and if we are to have defences at all we cannot do without them at the entrance to our leading naval station. The protection of our harbours is just the purpose for which the fortifications may be useful. No, the unfortunate business must now go on. The seven millions and a half must be thrown away entire. What such a sum would have done in the cause of education, science, or religion, how great the reforms it might have secured us, and what a blessing it might have proved to suffering humanity, it is now useless to lament. Costing millions; to make, millions more to maintain, never perhaps being needed in the space of genera tions, and, if needed, proving utterly useless—such is likely to be the history of the Fortification Folly. PAI?LIAMENTAR .AVTICES. Thii evening Mr. Stacpoole intends to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a bill early next session to give facilities for the purchase of glebes and the erection of glebe houses for the ministers of all religious denominations in Ireland, and to enable loans to be advanced for that purpose by the Board of Works or other public body in Ireland.— On Wednesday, Sir George Jenkinson will ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer if the Government intend to introduce any measure next session to grant relief to the agricultural class in relation to the malt tax.—Sir Massey Lopes has given notice that early next session he will call the attention of the House to the injustice, inequalities, and anomalies of the present poor•rate assessment, and the incidence of other local burdens. TILE IRISH errUl?Cff. Tho clergy of the diocese of Dublin Lave hold a private meeting, on invitation from the Archbishop, to consider the best means of reorganising the Irish Episcopal Church. A resolution was proposed by the Archdeacon of Dublin (Lee) to tho effect that "Tho National Synod of the Church, in existeLee according to the 100th canon, should bo called into activity." This proposition was objected to by the Rev. Mr. Thomas as pre mature, The lion. and Rev. Mr. Plunket likewise de precated any action which did not invite the co-operation of the laity. Ultimately the resolution was reserved !or consi deration at a future meeting. Tho Dean of the Chapel Royal stated that the Bishop of Lichfield had told him ho would give £5OO a year towards the future sustentation fund of the Irish Church. The dean added that the English bishops hadresolved to appoint a special day for collections in their respective dioceses for the same object. It was announced by Arch bishop Trench that he was to meet his brother bishops to morrow, and after their conference ho would eall another meeting of the clergy of his diocese. On Friday afternoon the Standing Committee of the late Church Conference assembled, and passed a resolution calling upon the Archbishops to " reassemble the Conference at their earliest convenience.' This resolution, proposed by Master Brooke, Q.C., and seconded by the Rev. Dr. Reichel, was carried with but four dissentients. FAREWELL BANQUET TO PRINCE ARTHUR. A grand review and farewell banquet took place a' Woolwich on Saturday evening, on the occasion of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur leaving the garrison. The review took place on Woolwich Common. At eight o'clock Prince Arthur was entertained at a fare well banquet in the Royal Artillery mess-room. The Duke of Cambridge presided. Amongst the other dis- tinguished guests were Prince Teck, General Sir David Wood, Viscount Sydney, Mr. Cardwell, Sir James Hope Grant, General Sir George Pollock, Sir Edward C. Warde, K.C.D., &c. The Dul:e of Cambridge, in proposing the toast of the evening, " The health of our distinguished guest, Prince Arthur," said the pleasure they felt at en tertaining- his gallant young friend, gunner Prince:Arthur, was associated in some degree with a feeling of regret at the consciousness that they were about to part with him. It was felt that it would be to the advantage of the young Prince that he should gain experience in every branch of the service, so as to obtain a thorough insight into all the requirements of the army. Having passed with credit through the Royal Military Academy, served in the Engi neers at Chatham, and with the Royal Artillery at Wool wich, the Prince was now about to proceed to Canada to join the Rifle Brigade. He (the Duke) had every con fidence that the effect of the instruction his Royal High ness was going through would be that he would become one of the brightest ornaments of the profession of arms. --Prince Arthur, in reply, said : I beg to tender you my most sincere and hearty thanks for the very kind manner in which you have drunk my health. I regard such a reception as one of the highest honours that could fall . to the lot of any soldier. It has been the greatest pleasure of my life to be associated with the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. From the time I was a very young boy it was my earliest and earnest wish, my highest ambition, to become a Woolwich cadet; that hope has been fulfilled, and I have had the honour and pleasure of serving in both Ordnance corps--the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery ; and I am now bound to Canada to join another corps. My stay at this garrison will ever be associated in my mind with themost agreeable and pleasing reminiscences. AMERICAN NEWS. The latest arrival of American papers furnishes the fol lowing items of intelligence : President Juarez, of Mexico, the members of his Cabinet, Senor Eomero, late Minister to the United States, and a number of others, had a narrow escape from a terrible death recently. They were sailing on Lake Tezcoco in a pleasure steamer, when the boiler burst and the boat was disabled. Senor Romero was thrown into the water, but saved himself by swimming. An Havana dispatch announces the return, by order of the Government, of General Alvcar from active opera tions. Alvcar's regiment has been decimated by disease and battle lcsses, and needed a complete reorganisation. The Captain-General has issued a decree annulling the article of his last proclamation relative to the right of Spanish cruisers to search neutral vessels in the waters about Cuba, for the reason that the United States has been prompt in arresting the filibusters. Late on Monday night a detachment of marines made an attack on a camp of filibusters about four miles back of Hoboken, and suc ceeded in arresting fifty men, who were removed on a tugboat to Fort Lafayette. The raid was planned by Marshal Barlow. The Powell Expedition is heard from. A St. Louis despatch states that letters, dated July 4, have been received at Green River, announcing that all the party were well, and that the Rapids had been passed through with the loss of but one boat. A Mrs. Houghton, wife of a farmerliving near Brooklyn, Mich., attempted to murder her two children and commit suicide recently by the use of laudanum. The discovery was made in time to save the lives of one of the children and the mother. The latter was arrested, but gave no reason for her act, only " that she wanted to die, and to have her children die with her." An attempt is making in Bourbon County, Kentucky, to raise a fund for the purchase of a home for Jefferson Davis in that, his native, State. A gentleman of Louis ville has offered, if .550,000 or more shall be subscribed to the fund, to give a splendid building site for a house, with ten acres attached, within four miles of Louisville. Mr. Gladstone returned to town on Friday after noon, and although weak and looking very unwell, is in a fair way to recovery of his health. Favourable intelligence has been received of the rising of the Nile. The inundation this year is expected to be most abundant, and all the necessary precautions have been already taken in Upper Egypt. The Chester Guardian states that as the Holyhead midnight train was leaving Chester on Thursday night, a passenger unknown fired two shots at two poiutsmen in different boxes ; the shots missed their mark, but were found. The meeting of the British Medical Association in Leeds came to a close en Friday. In the section devoted to surgery, Mr. T. Nunnely delivered nn interesting address on that subject, and in the State medicine section there was nn animated discussion on hospitals, in which the question whether largo hospitals were beneficial or not was discussed, Sir James Simpson, Dr. T. K. Chambers, Pre fersor Gairdner, the chairman, Dr. Farr, and others being opposed to such institutions. A BRIGHTON CLERGYMAN' LOST ON THE ALPS. — Captain Ramsay Phipps, writing from Grindelwald, gives some details of a fatal accident, by which the Rev. Julius M. Elliott, of Brighton, was killed by a fall from the Schreckhorn. Mr. Elliott was travelling in Switzer land with the Rev. P. W. Phipps, with the object of ascending several mountains together. They were accom panied by Franz Biner, of Zermatt, Mr. Elliott's guide for the last four years, and by Joseph Lauber, of Zermatt, as porter. On Monday afternoon, July 26, they left Grindel wald to sleep at the cave under the Kastenstein, taking with them Peter Baumann, of Grindelwald, as an additional porter. On Tuesday morning last they commenced to ascend the Schreckhorn, and the first half of the ascent was effected with comparative ease. As the rocks became more difficult, Baumann and the Rev. P. W. Phipps put on their rope. Mr. Elliott, however, declined to put on his, as he thought it was unnecessary. He ascended very rapidly, and went on some distance in advance with his two guides. When Mr. Phipps and Baumann reached the Col at the top, Mr. Elliott, with Liner and Lauber, were about half way up the final p,ak ; they were just leaving the snow, and were cutting the last steps to reach the rocks of the summit ; tht y were in great spirits at their success, and the two parties shouted in congratulation one to another. At this moment it appears that in springing front the snow on to the rocks Mr. Elliott slit pNI and fell. Lauber was on the rocks, but not firmly placed, and could render nc assistance. Biner caught him by the arm for the instant. but failed to hold him, and being unroped Mr. Elliott glided rapidly down the steep snow slopes of the north-east face of the mountain, rolling occasionally over until be disappeared from their sight some 1,000 feet below, near the Lauter-aar Glacier. Ten guides, under the direction of Peter Michel, were sent off to use their utmost efforts to discover the body of Mr. Elliott. They took with then provisions for three days, and pverything that could bi nizgt'llt9d AI 9 115 ft, ~~.::... INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1871 It was time (the Daily Nezvs remarks) for the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851 to announce another. It is their nature to make exhibitions, as it is that of the sparrow to build its nest or the beaver its dam, and they must have been feeling uncomfortable a long while. Accordingly, we have before us the prospectus of the Inter national Exhibition of 1871, which is to be very like its two predecessors, and at the same time very different from both. It is not to be the continuation of the old series, but the beginning of a new one of "Annual International Exhibitions of selected Works of Fine and Industrial Art." As the displays are to be annual, per manent buildings will be required, and these are about to be erected adjoining the arcades of the Royal Horticultural Gardens. Anothernew feature of the scheme is that there aro to be no prizes. This is a very im portant innovation. An Exhibition without prizes— without gold, silver, and bronze medals, without certifi cates of superiority and honourable mention, will seem to many shrewd, practical people to be an Exhibition without raison dare, without utility, and, worse than all, without motive power. It is a notorious fact that the London and Paris Exhibitions of the last few years have :cost powerfully affected trade. Old houses secure in their traditional renown, and disdaining to match hemselves with new and unknown firms, have found their business failing beneath them, and seen their custom carried off by young competitors rely ng on nothing but their own skill and energy. ::'he wares and products of these latter have obtained the stamp of approbation ; the medal has been won, and wise and courageous advertising has done the rest. Great and wealthy firms, whose names are familia: to our ears as household words, would not hesitate to recog. nise in this recital a true description of their own rise and progress. The Exhibition of 1,5.71 is, however, to want this apparatus of judgment, this passport to fame. Its place is, however, to be to some extent supplied. If within the Exhibition comparisons are to be eschewed as odious, a certain work of discrimination is to be attempted, and a certain minimum of excellence secured. " The produc Lions of all nations will be admitted, subject to obtaining the certificate of competent judges that they are of sum. cient excellence to be worthy of exhibition." This condi- tion would seem to exclude those useful and homely articles of manufacture the display of which made some of the lourts in the last Exhibition look like booths in it .country fair. From the terms of another rule, however, it appears tlat cheapness will of itself constitute a title to admission, and as the claims of novelty will also be admitted, there seems no reason why anything that was really worth exhibiting in Hyde Park or South Kensington should be shut out the year after next. The authorities intend to take into their own hands the arrangement of the articles exhibited, providing their own cases, stands, and other requisite fittings, a measure which will doubtless heighten the general effect of the display, if it curtails somewhat the luxuriance of individual fancy. Deprived of the chance of gaining medals, exhibitors will still have three advantages. In the first place, their articles will be exhibited side by side with the best of the same kind from all countries, for the arrangement of the objects will be according to classes, and not, as in former Inter national Exhibitions, according to nationalities. Secondly, certificates of having obtained the distinction of achnis sion to the Exhibition will be given to each exhibitor, and, of course, it is to be presumed that the authors of this regulation see their way to the maintenance of such a standard of excellence as will give va'ue to the distinction. Thirdly, there will be, as in former exhibitions, the reports of qualified jurors, and these will be published before the Exhibition is more than a month old. Such are the principal features of the International Exhibition of 1871, as announced in the prospectus. Judging from that document its aspect will be more austere than that of the last. There will be less to gratify curiosity and e: - .cite wander, and more to exercise the judgment and cultivate the taste. There will not be those crowded avenues and mazy labyrinths in which the visitor was wont to toil, until a glimpse of the pale ale and sandwiches in the distance was hailed as eagerly as that of the palm-trees by the tra, yeller in the desert. So, at least, it appears now ; but it is a long while until May 1871, and undertakings of this kind developd their character as they grow. In all circum stances the commissioners will no doubt take care that their Exhibition shall not be deficient in any of the elements of a genuine popularity. A rumour is repeated that Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q.C., has been instructed by the. Irish Archbishops and Bishops to draw up a " Constitution" for the Free Church. A SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF AUTHORS.—An organisation for the encouragement and protection of authors has been formed in this city. It aims to secure a hearin g and fit recompense for deserving writers who have not yet achieved popularity and the admiring regard of publishers. We commend it to public consideration.—New York Tribune. THE KILDONAN GOLD DIGGINGS. —lt appears from correspondence published in the Scotana n that the Sutherland gold diggings are yielding sufficient quantities of the precious metal to remunerate the diggers. The 10 per cent. royalty charged on the proceeds leads the miners fraudulently to conceal the real value of their finds. THE COWCATCHER,—A. little child, 4 years old, near Kukomo, Indiana, suddenly appeared on the railroad track as a train was passing at a r a pid rate, and was picked up by the cowcatcher, thrown fifteen feet high in the air, and landed in a ditch withcut injury. RE-ENDOWMENT OF THE IRISH CHI:RCM—The Rev. George Venables proposes a plan for the re-endow ment of Irish benefices. He suggests that four or five persons should combine to effect au insurance o n the life of some person of middle age, the sum assured to be vested as soon as realised in trustees, as the nucleus of an endow ment for some parish. The present life-interests will hold out for some years, and by this scheme, without any gigantic effort, a sum would meanwhile be pro vided to take the place of the life-interests when expired. THE LOWER HOUSE OF CONVOCATION. The beneficed clergy of the diocese of Canterbury have been cited by the Archdeacons of Canterbury and Maidstone to assemble at Canterbury on Wednesday next, for the purpose of electing a proctor to represent them in the Lower House of Convocation, in the room of the Rev. Dr. Ashton Oxenden, now Bishop of Montreal. Three gen tlemen were named as candidates, the Rev. E. Hoare, M.A., vicar of Holy Trinity, Tunbridge ; the Rev. J. Puckle, M.A., vicar of St. Mary's, Dover; and the Rev. C. F. Tarver, M.A., vicar of St. Peter's, Thanet. It is announced that Mr. Hoare and Mr. Tarver have retired from the contest, and that Mr. Puckle will be returned without opposition. Mr. Puckle, who belongs to the moderately High Church party, was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he took his B.A. degree in 1836, when he was second-class in mathematics. AFFECTION IN WOMEN.—It is common to attribute want of affection to others merely because it is not in their nature to be affectionate after our own external pattern. We break our hearts over the thought, "I should not have done this or that," and with the mar vellously false logic of self-torture, we say, "If there were any true love, this thing could not be." But love is not one, but many. Its angel-wings are of varied plumrge. I had a very dear friend who married, as men the wisest amongst us often do, a woman younger than, and much unlike, himself—in all ways charming, but in all ways provoking, too, as only very pretty women can be—saucily, coquettishly, petulantly provoking, often rainy and stormy, but with marvellous gleams of tender sunshine—beau tiful and bewitching and irresistible always ; treading down reason, judgment, all things with her small foot, and snapping all the boundaries that lie between right and wrong with her queenly hand. Some men would have resented this—my friend saddened under it. Like Shak spere's Moor, he was "not easily jealous," but, in time, he came to be " perplexed in the extreme." So he spoke to her one day, very gravely and sorrowfully, saying that he was afraid that she did not love him—that she would have been happier with some one else. And what did she do? She turned upon him a face radiant with happiness, and said, " You dear old goose, not love you—' happier with some one else !' Why, if I had married anyone else but my silly old darling, I should have worried him into his grave in a month. But you must take me as I am, you know, and let me love you in my own way." And from that time a great contentment came upon him. With his tenderness, which was unfailing, there went forth towards her an infinite toleration ; and in time it came to pass that he would not have changed the love which she gave him "in her own way " for any love shaped in accordance with the standard of his egotism. What she gave him was all herself, as he found, not as once he wished to fashion her; aad it was far better than anything he could have made. Sickness fell upon him, and she was the gentlest of nurses. Poverty-- I mean what was poverty to them---descended upon him ; and she was the most self-denying of helpmates. She, who had been wont to have every wish gratified—and to pout, perhaps to murmur, if it were not—now subdued herself to all the wishes of another. She who had once exacted, now yielded everything; and she lovingly-confessed, "I am happier now, dear, than when I was your spoilt child." And I believe that this is anything but an uncommon story. We blame others and we worry ourselves, mainly because, lacking the necessary amount of imagination, we cannot go out of ourselves—we cannot eat our way out of the hard shell of our egotism and look abroad xpon the manysidedness of nieralLyn," trarzilgitilfsgainfili TOD It GA E. •Cat , :r Imo' rat Tat HER MAJESTY.

The Anglo•B•azilian Times says : —From the seat of war we learn that all but ten of the men belonging to the rearguard of General Barata'S cilumn, that had been cut off by the Paraguayans during that General's return from his abortive attempt to cross the Tebiquary and march on Villa Rica, rejoined the Brazilian forces, but that the 8,000 Paraguayan non-combatants they were con' veying to the Brazilian camp had fallen into L 0• pez's possession. Of General Portentra's brigade, marching from the Upper Panama, nothing was yet kiown. Notwithstanding the success against the Para' guayan forces near S. Pedro it was found impos sible to pursue the plans for a flank operation, an d half the force had already returned to head-quarter s at Pirayie. The reconnaisances made upon the mountain passes of Ascura and Pedroz had furnished little information, from the covered nature of the position° occupied by the enemy. To facilitate his r ecoil' naisance, and to check the enemy's attempt upon the allied left, the Comte d'Eu had ordered a stem launch to be brought from Asuncion and placed la Lake Ipacarahy. The number of women, children, and old we ll brought to the allied camps by the S.
