STEELE, Secretary. NO MORE LORD lIISIHOP3. A pamphlet with this heading has just been publishes by Mr. Stanford, of Charing Cross. The author describes hims,lf as a member of the Church of England d fifty years' standing, and belonging to a family which has been Church of England for the last five generations. He declares against the disestablishment and disendow ment of the Church of England, but in its own interest demands the retirement of the bishops from the House of Lords. His reasons are, that the possession of a seat in Parliament, and the obligations and usages connected with it, tend to draw the bishop from diocesan duties, which are sufficient to take up the whole of his time ; that his temporal dignity tends to make him difficult of access, and removes him from sympathy with the lower clergy ; that it also tends to make him a political character. These and other considerations the writer states with great force. The reform he advocates is, be declares, in the minds of many, though scarcely ever on their tongues. From peer to peasant the opinion is forming and rapidly spreading, and ere long will be uttered in loud and decided tones by the nation, that the time has arrived when bishops of the Established Church in England should cease to wield a special political power, and no longer have seats in the House of Lords. The author has not noticed what seems to us the most powerful reason of all for the change he proposes, that it would remove the chief obstacle to that large increase in the number of bishops by the subdivision of dioceses which is most urgently called for by the increase of population, and with that of Church work.

HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims owdecesse of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51- per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : -..... DR. LIABILITIES.

T HUM AS ALLEN,) HENRY ROSE, Auditors. The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On emptying it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

Our many-sided drama tist, whose universal sympathies gave him points of contact with all classes and all creeds, has been claimed by all in. turn. It remained, however, for Mr. Hepworth Dixon to claim Shakspere for a party which already possesses Mil ton, and has been hitherto content with him. But Mn. Dixon has something to say for his discovery of Shak. spere's faith. In his most interesting and lively volume on "Her Majesty's Tower," he tells the story of one of the noblest Englishmen—Sir John Oldcastle, one of the earliest martyrs of the Reformation. The monks not only burned this noble man, but turned his memory into ridicule, and made his name synonymous with every vice. When Shakspeare drew the cha. racter which now bears the name of Falstaff, he simply breathed life into the monkish caricature of Oldcastle, and called it by his name. After the play had been performed, Shakspere seems to have discovered his error, and to have made reparation. He not only , changed the name of his buffoon from Oldcastle to Fal staff, but he did more. In the epilogue to the Second Part of " Henry the Fourth " he goes out of his way to vindicate Oldcastle's name, and to assure the audience that Falstaff is not Oldcastle—" Oldcastle died a martyr, and this is not the man." This change of opinion and this manly avowal of it do Shakspere immortal honour. Mr. Dixon sees in it some- thing more than a noble reparation. He reads these words as a confession of faith. Oldcastle was a martyr in the eyes of the Puritans—he was a Falstaff in the estimation of their opponents. The name was a symbol—the watchword of one party, the byword of another. Hence Mr. Dixon's comment on Shakspere's declaration, " Oldcastle died a martyr," is, "The man who wrote that confession in the days of Archbishop Whitgift is a Puritan in faith." Perhaps the inference is a little too large for the premises from which it is drawn. Shakspere may not have meant the words for any confession of faith, but as such repara- tion as he could render for the injustice he had already done an honourable name. THE EARTHQUAKE IN INDIA. While the New World has experienced a series of violent earth•throes during the past few months, the Asiatic Con tinent has remained almost entirely free from disturbance. But now that the activity of the subterranean forces under. lying the former region would seem to have found relief, there appears to be a renewal of action on the part of the Asiatic earthquake systems. The news received from Calcutta on Tuesday hardly led us to anticipate that the earthquake in that neighbourhood had been so important as we now learn to have been the case. We were simply told that a sharp shock of earthquake had been felt in Calcutta and throughout the Assam district ; that at Behrar many buildings were damaged, and that the bazaar at Silchar had been destroyed. But the intelligence received on Wednesday indicates a catastrophe of considerable importance. The earthquake of the 10th, we are now told, was one of a terrible character. Many natives lost their lives, all brick buildings at Silchar and Cachar were destroyed, and the bazaar at the former place was com pletely engulfed. The earthquake extended to Assam and Darjeeling. The last fact seems to dissociate the present event from the subterranean system which, extends from Calcutta to Cutch, or rather from Cabool over the Gulf of Cutch, to the neighbourhood of the delta of the Ganges. The volcanic region to which the recent earthquake in all probability belonged, is one which connects Sumatra with Assam, and has long been associated by geologists with disturbances of Chittagong and the adjacent deltas of the Brahmapootra and the Ganges. A remarkable evidence exists of the energy of this volcanic system in the neighbourhood cf Calcutta ; for opposite the middle of the delta of the Ganges there is a nearly circular span, fifteen miles across, where, instead of a gradual deepening of the water, as elsewhere in this part of the Bay of Bengal, there is a sudden increase of depth, so that soundings of 600, or even 800 feet, fail to reach the bottom. This space is called the "swatch of no ground." As Sir Charles Lyell remarks, "the phenomenon is the more extraordinary, since the depression occurs close to the line of shoals, and not only do the waters charged with the sediment of the Ganges pass continually over it, but during the monsoons the sea, loaded with mud and sand, is beaten back in that direction towards the Ganges." We cannot but conclude that remarkable subsidences must have taken place at this spot in modern times. Indeed, in the immediate neighbour hood of Calcutta there are clear tokens of a sinking down of the land " to the amount of seventy feet or more per pendicular," according to Lyell. For seventy feet below the present level of the surface a stratum of black peat has been found, a circumstance which affords clear evidence that there was here at some period or another a wide tract of vegetation-covered (or forest) land. At present, however, the very existence of a delta of such wide extent as that of the Ganges— now conjoined with that of the Brahmapootra— is evidence of a long period of comparative tranquillity. The area of the delta of the Ganges alone is more than double that of the Nile. Its base is no less than 200 miles in length, and its apex lies at a distance of more than 220 miles from the sea. Indeed, that part of the delta which borders on the sea, " a labyrinth of rivers and creeks," known by the name of the Sunderbunds, is equal in extent to the whole of Wales. If the recent earth quake were accompanied by any important upheaval or depression, this delta would be affected to an important extent. The question of the relative value of Calcutta and Bombay as a capital for India might be settled in a summary manner if the outlets of the Ganges were seriously disturbed. Of the real magnitude of the subterranean forces at work under this part of Asia it is not difficult to form a due estimate. We have only to consider the magnitude of the great Himalaya chain, the highest mountain-range in the world, to see that upheav ing forces of unequalled power have been at work in old times in this neighbourhood, and to recognise t he p oss ! - ' bility that these forces, if ever they should resume their activity, might in a short time change the whole face of . Bengal, Assam, and the neighbouring pro vinces. —Daily News. SEA SICKNESS.—Dr. F. Darker, of New York, recommends the following rules for avoiding sea sickness :- 1. Rest yourself on the eve of your departure, so that the nervous system may not be over-excited when you go board. 2. Lie down before anchor is weighed, and keep in a horizontal posture for two days running. 3. Eat as much as you can at every meal, but without raising your head. In this way the stomach does not lose the habit of digestion; you keep up your strength, and gradually get accustomed to the ship's motion. By following these rules, the heaviest gales may be encountered without sea sickness. F RE EMASONRY. —Information has been forwarded to the English craft that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, before leaving Stockholm, was entered an apprentice t o Freemasonry, and, having speedily " passed" to the rank of a " fellow craft," was raised to the full degree of a It t e i r s e f d u r u t i h ) o e n r s s t o a n t e d t o h f at t h the f a n n e c x y v y d - e i g n r a e d e s e , R m oy o ' r a l e Master Mason, as recognised by the O r d er a ll over th e brother world e practised on the Continent than in England, and was made a Knight of the Masonic Order of Charles the Thirteenth. The present Grand Master of the English Order, Lord Zetland, has held his office for a quarter of a century, and the lodges are contributing to a fund for the presentation of a testimonial to him in celebration of his long service, and following the precedent set in the presentation of plate weighing 1,800 ounces to the late Grand Master, the Duke of Sussex, who held the office for twenty-years. It is thought probable that the Prince will become affiliated to the English Order, and will rise to the position held by several of his princely predecessors, it being understood that the present Grand Master desires retirement. The position of Gmnd Master, by the constitution of the craft, can only be bold by a Prince of the blood Royal, a member of- k noble house. ai by A !` lean
