SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times considers Bishop Ullathorne's arguments were vitiated by inexactness of statement. It is not proposed that workmen shall be compelled to send their children to secular schools. The proposal is, that unless parents send their children to some school or other, they shall be compelled to send them to the common school to be opened for them. The liberty of choice is in no degree infringed. The licence of neglect is the only thing proposed to be taken away. But the Bishop seems not to understand the views of those who differ from him, and his argu ments, positive and negative, are necessarily wide of the mark. Take, for example, his essential position, that education without religion is necessarily imperfect. We assent to this unreservedly, and we know of none who would reject it. But, admitting it fully, the question is whether such education is not good as far as it goes. Are not the knowledge and the use of letters and figures, or, as the Bishop calls them, the instruments of education, ;ood as helps towards a fuller development of the powers of the pupil ? And is not this limited education the alter native, under exi3tin3 circumstances, of entire neglect? If these questions be answered, as we believe they must be, in the affirmative, the positive part of Bishop T_Tllathorne's address fails as completely as his criticism of his oppo n:nts. The Standard thinks it is one of the most hopeful features of the movement in favour of secular education that it almost necessarily enlists against it the strong sympathies and earnest opposition of the religious communities. Granted all the fundamental differences which keep them apart, and the rivalries which incite them to an attitude of mutual jealousy and antagonism, it seems reserved to the secularist agitation to prove that they hold at least one doctrine in common, and have at lest one bond of union. Dr. Ullathorne's statement of the grievance of the Roman Catholics might be accepted identically as that of the rest of the religious bodies, and we are certain that his protest will be enaorsed with similar unanimity. Can they consent that the schools which are to be exclu sively supported by the State, and at which attendance is is to be made compulsory, " shall have no religion taught in them—that there shall be no faith, no creed, no cate chism, taught to any of the children in them?" Rome can gain nothing by the spread of infidelity. She has even an object in co-operating to defend a system which, at least, proceeds upon the basis of Christianity, and thereby saves her the trouble of con structing the approaches and covered ways by which she proceeds to the assault; whereas in dealing with an infidel one has to begin at the beginning. We believe the Roman Church is perfectly sincere in holding fast tothe denomina tional system in this country, because if it turns against it it will in all probability fare worse, and hence we see no reason why the summons to united action, which it has impliedly addressed to the religious bodies all over the kingdom, should not meet with a ready and courteous assent. The Telegraph takes leave to draw Dr. Ullathorne's attention to the main point of this great business—me which must be settled before any of such interesting bye problems are discussed. The ingenious Bishop will have his labour for his pains, if he does not first of all recognise two broad facts : Firstly, that the people of England, being come to power, are determined to have themselves educated; and, secondly, that the denominational system—the system which now exists, and which the Bishop is compelled to embrace as his only refuge from the League—has failed to educate the people. Here, then, arises the only question worth debating— whether there is any other except the compuLory and " non-sectarian" way of educating the whole people of England? The League says "No," and formulates its four-cornered plan, with the Bible pure and simple for a class book. The Roman Bishop and some of the Tories answer " Yes," and name—the denominational system! The country points to the figures of the educational reports, which demonstrate that the system is an utter failure ; and thus Dr. Ullathorne and the Birmingham priests will only strengthen the hands of the League, until they point us to a third resource which nobody has yet thought of. Neither we nor Parliament have any objection to Catholic teaching for Catholics ; only, the children of this kingdom must all be instructed. That comes first ; and anything which renders such Universal instruction impossible must be done outside the forthcoming measure. The Times highly applauds the resolution of the Central English Amnesty Committee to dissolve. A grateful public will know how to appreciate their forbearance when it reflects that such an association would probably have involved a chronic interruption of traffic; a wearisome reiteration of semi-seditious speeches, now too common to be at all amusing or exciting; and last, but not least, the temporary transfer of the care of person and property from the ordinary police to an amateur force of ragamuffins and " roughs." We can only hope the committee may find strength to persevere in their most laudable resolve. That those who are themselves Fenians at heart should keep up a ceaseless agitation en behalf of the prisoners is intelli gible enough. A rehabilitation of this kind is sorely needed for a cause which, just dangerous enough to inspire general uneasiness, but not general alarm, and hitherto associated with Clerkenwell explosions in the dark and burlesque rebellions in the open day, has had the rare fortune to incur at once both hatred and contempt. The amnesty agitation also procures fur the Fenian cause what before it had above all things wanted — the countenance of men of some influence in social position, in lieu of the shopboys, bankrupt publicans, and military filibusters, described by Justice Keogh, who at first formed its vanguard. The Irish people, when they see respectable men invoking mercy for Fenians, naturally enough conclude that they sympathise with Fenianism. The Amnesty movement of the genuine Fenians is, accord ingly, as we have said, perfectly intelligible. But what are we to say of the credulous folk who allow themselves to be thus made cat's-paws of treason, and who lend themselves to a prolonged agitation which cannot possibly attain the only object they themselves have at heart, though it admirably promotes a policy they detest? "I came, I saw, I evicted." With such Caesarian brevity, says the Daily iVews, might many a landlord describe the political campaign of 1863, or his part in it. The abuse of territorial influence was not confined to any part of the United Kingdom ; but it was least signal probably in Scot land, and most remarkable in Wales. The independence and intelligence of the farmers north of the Tweed, and the two facts that they are men of capital and hold on lease, enable them as a rule to call their opinions their own, and to give effect to them by their votes. In Wales a different state of things prevails. There the tenants are without this double protection; and in the case of a division of sentiment on any public question between themselves and their landlords, they are apt to find a political conscience a very costly possession. Some lead ing members of the Liberal party, in and out of Wales, have resolved that this state of things must and shall come to an end. During the present week a Conference has been held at Aberystwith, in Cardiganshire, and subscrip have been set on foot in order to supply the means of com pensating voters who may have suffered pecuniary loss in consequence of their political honesty. The need of some such organisation as that which has been called into exist ence is proved by the attitude of a few Liberal landlords, who are landlords in the first place and Liberals in the second. While the Conservative landlords of Wales take as their maxim the Duke of Newcastle's claim to do - what he liked with his own, some of the Liberals are too prone, like the late Lord Grey, to stand by their order, right or wrong. They would not coerce, but they think it a very graceful thing in the tenant to defer to the supe rior intelligence of his landlord; and without approving the wrong-doer, they do not like to see him too rudely in terfered with. All this proves the necessity of a radical change of sentiment and action ; and the movement which has been Set on foot at Aberystwith, in abating a local dis order, may be the beginning of a general reform. The Post hopes that the anxiety felt and the otfurti put forth by Mrs. Gladstone to supplement th e p rov i s i o n s made by the Metropolitan Asylums Board to meet the . present demand for' increased accommodation for \ the t rea t m ent of the poorer classes affected with tho relapsing fever will find sympathy an d o b ta i n efficient co-operation among the well-to-do classes of this metropolis. The case is one of urgency, and specially calling for help on a large and generous scale. The duration of the attack is ordinarily about six weeks, but when the attack is subdued there are many cases which must go out of hospital with a moral certainty of their return, unless a sort of probationary stage can be prescribed, consisting in a simple transfer to such an asylum as that over which Mrs. Gladstone presides with so much experience and practical benefit—the Clapton Convalescent Home. The country has a right to expect, and it will expect, that the Special Committee of the Metropolitan Asylums Board, to whom well nigh unlimited rowel - 4 have been entrusted for this very c n(1, will be able to render a good ac?.eunt cf their stewardship, and that no delay will be allowed to occur between the warning they have received and the suf ficiency of the remedy they provide. One paramount duty is before them ; their one care must be that it be fulfilled Nothing is so unpardonable in public life as indecision and moral cowardice. Mr. Somerset Beaumont, the member for Wake field, addressed his constituents on Tuesday on public topics, including the Irish land question, the difficulties of which be recognised, remarking, among other things, that though the Liberals had many excellent clergymen on their side in the matter of the Irish Church, there would be very few landlords who would favour any scheme for disestablisli:Ag laud. LORD SHAFTESBURY ON THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE. The Earl of Sharcesbury has been takin g the chair at a religious meeting at Wimborne, in Dorset. Certain reflec tions, he said, had lately been cast' upon him for lending the right hand of fellowship to a man with whom on one point ho could agree, while fn, ethers he could not agree. But if the Pope himself came to ask for his assistance to maintain the integrity of the Gospel he would take his hand or his arm, and they could help each other on to a certain point, although they might be at loggerheads immediately afterwards. Instead of fighting one another, L. unite toge'her to the help of the Lord against the mighty. A new system of evangelisation was wanted—a system under which men would dive into the dens of iniquity and drag the inmates to the light of day—teach by house-to house visitation. Of the working population of London only 2 per cent. attended places of worship. Impure literature must be suppressed, and this not by the iron hand of the law, but by other means. The fact was the ministers of the day did not do their duty. What the masses wanted was not Ritualism, not Broad Churchis.m, but evangelical religion, and if they could not get it of the Church of England they would go to the Nonconformists for it. THE WRECK OP THE CARNATIC. The following is an extract from the report of the superintendent of the diving operations being carried on by the Salvage Association of Lloyd's, at the wreck of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Carnatic, in the Gulf of Suez, for the purpose of recovering the £49,000 in bullion which had been lost in the vessel :—" Egyptian Govern ment Ship Ter, lying off Shadwan, October 23, 1869. — From the 14th to the 20th there was a continual heavy gale, preventing all operations. On the 20th the English diver was down at the wreck four hours. She lies over, at an angle of 45 degrees, and he works in 13 fathoms of water. He found the Carnatic's spare shaft and crank had fallen overboard to leeward, and the end rested against the mail room door, where the boxes of specie were deposited. Bales of goods were also found jammed in, requiring great power to remove them, and breaking much tackle in the attempts. 22nd, Employed Arab divers at the loose copper sunk in ten fathoms ; they recovered in that and following day 126 pieces. 24th : The diver who had been down daily, managed' to get into the mail rcom, and sent up the mail bags and cases with postmaster's lugg,ago. The mail bags were rotten and the pulp flowed out. Recovered six gold watches and seven silver ones, with a large quantity of valuable jewelry. Every tin package had given way, and the water and sediment had penetrated. There were no marks on the packages. 25th : The Bengal steamer arrived off the island, and Mr. Hain, in charge of the mails, who was also in charge of the mails of the Car natic at the time she was lost, came to the wreck, and took with him the recovered mails on to Bombay. The English diver on the 26th, after several hours' cutting away, at length got into the mail-room, where the treasure was, and in three days sent up twenty-two boxes, contain ing in all £26,000. The operations were still proceeding when the report left Suez, on the 23th October, the divers being sanguine that they would be enabled to recover the whole of the remaining treasure." LAW AND POLICE. A SINGVIAIt CASE.—A case has been brought before Vice-Chancellor James, in which an old man named Frees, 73 years of age, applied to have a conveyance executed by him in in 1554 set aside. Tho substance of his statement was that he was lessee for a long term of some property in Wales subject to certain mortgages. The mortgagee died while a foreclosure suit which he had in stituted was pending ; but the old man was persuaded by the solidtor for the mortgagee that he had no further interest in the property, and he was induced under the threat of legal proceedings to execute a deed of assignment to the solicitor, a sum of £5O being given him. The solicitor was since dead, and his executors maintained that the old man's story was incorrect. However, the Vice-Chancellor thought that advantage had been taken of the old man's position, and said the deed must be set aside, the plaintiff having his costs. S3fomta IN A COLLIERY.—At the Aberdare Police court, a collier, named William Gray, was sentenced to a month's imprisonment for having been found with a tobacco-pipe in his possession in Navigation Colliery on the 22,g( October. ATTEMPTED Muumu.—John Faskett was brought up at the Lambeth Police-court, charged with attempting to murder Mary Ann Talbot. His attack was prompted by a fit of jealousy, and he afterwards attempted to cut his own throat. The girl was wounded but has since recovered. lie was committed for trial. EXPENSIT:I LITIGATION.—A suit has been heard before Vice-Chancellor 3.laEns, which has occupied six days, and required twenty witnesses and 110 affidavits. It was instituted by the patentee of an improved plan for the "skidding" of wheels and the value of the saving to the defendant could be only a few pounds a year until 1373, when the patent would expire. The Vice-Chancellor granted the plaintiff a perpetual injunction, with costs, remarking at the same time on the unnecessary litigation. PLOUGHING ur A. POOTPATIL—A case from a bench of magistrates in Worcestershire, has been heard in the Court of Queen's Bench, raising the question whether a person may plough up a footpath on his land. The magis trates referred the point to the Court on account of its frequent occurrence. The Court held that the complaint could not bo sustained. The owner of land was not bound to make a public footway, and if he did he might do so with a reservation. There would be great injustice in converting the qualified right of the public into an absolute right. Judgment for the defendant. THE REVISING BAHRISTER OF BRADFORD.—An appeal from the decision of the Revizir4g Barrister of the borough of Bradford has been heard in the Court of Common Pjeas. The appellant had been an inhabitant occupier as tenant of a house under £lO rent, and during the last three months of his year of occupation had lot a furnished room to a lodger, whereupon the barrister disallowed his claim, holding him to be a joint occupier with his lodger. It was stated that many persons in the borough were in a similar position, and would be affected by the decision. Tho Chief Justice thought the appeal must be allowed, as the lodger was not occupier or owner of the house at all, but merely a lodger, who might acquire rights as such. Appeal affirmed, without costs. THE REVISING BARRISTER OF LONDON.—An appeal from a decision of the Revising Barrister for the City of London was heard in the same court. The appellant, a barrister, occupied a set of chambers in the Temple, paying £7O rent. He let off two rooms in the set of chambers to two other barristers at £3O a year. They each had a key and the use of the clerk. The Barrister disallowed the vote on the ground that the appellant only occupied " part of a house or chambers." Seventy other cases depended on the decision which was in favour of the appellant. RESIGNATION OF THE GRAND MASTER OF FREE MASONS.—An announcement has just been made to the officers of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of England that it is not the intention of the Earl of Zetland, Most Worshipful Grand Master, again to offer himself for nomination to that high office at the Grand Lodge, to be held in December next. The noble Earl hal held this distinguished position for twenty six years. It is believed that Earl de Grey and Ripen, who has held the office of Deputy Grand Master since the retirement of the Earl of Dalhousie, will be put in nomination for the office of Grand Master, and from the high respect in which he is held by the craft, there is every probability that he will be elected. The Prince of Wales has too recently joined Freemasonry to be elected to the office. THE LATE Mn. PEABODY.—Respecting the death of Mr. Peabody, the New York Times says :—" Mr. Pea body, as the cable informs us, died at his residence in Eaton-square' It was one of the peculiarities of Mr. Peabody that he never would have a house of his own. He cared little for himself in all things—it was his habit, for instance, to dine off a mutton chop at the grand dinners he used to give, where every luxury was spread upon the table. He had a room in the house of his old friend, Sir Curtis M. Lampoon, in Eaton-square, and it was there that he died. He used to live there in the most quiet and retired manner, and his name did not appear in any directory or' Court Guide' Ho has suffered much during the last four years, and could very seldom be in duced to call in a doctor; whoa he did he neither obeyed the doctor's orders nc.r took his medicine. As ono of his rhy.sician3 complained a short time ago, Mr. Peabody was a most unsatizfactory patient. He hated to be asked after his health, or to have any fuss made over him." A LITTLE STORY ABOUT Mn. LncoLN.—Mr. Lincoln was much pestered by oclice-seekers. A gentle man from Illinois, who thought himself peculiarly fitted to renresent the country abroad, followed Mr. Lincoln with treat pertinacity, buttonholing him at all times and in every place without the slightest mercy. Finally, till Pre: , ident, with a pleasant smile, asked if he could speak Spanish. " No," " Well, learn Spanish, and I'll tell you of a good thing you can get." After three months of hard study the would-be diplomat returned to the charge, and ilsured him he had thoroughly mastered the Spanish "Fell," said Mr. Lincoln, "I promised to tell you of a good thing you could get. G e t Don Quixote and road it; it will mako you laugh." _ME SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1869. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. India. Of the first class 4,555 have not presented themselves; 10,558 have failed absolutely; 7,133 have failed in competitive examinations, and 31,509 have gained certificates. Most of the failures were in reading, spelling, handwriting, arithmetic, or some similar subject; very few were rejected by tests of "general intelligence and cultivation." bitr,gli - On the state of - France: To it helvelixes an advertisement," in which ho defends the Liberal oarty, even when it seems unreasonable, in its oppo ition to the Empire.

There was every reasonable cause to believe him this Lime true and sincere. Europe and England, however, refused stubbornly to have anything to do with him, except' to expel him from power, and to open again for this end the cruel and scarcely healed-up wounds of general war. Were you right or wrong ?—it is not for me to say. You obeyed then an instinctive and insuperable feeling ; you gold not like him and you could not trust him, and that feeling of yours sealed his fate. Do not, therefore, onflemn beforehand the French Liberal party if they find it too hard to give to Napoleon 111. that zoodwill and trust which, in spite of your love for Ilumanity and of your longing for peace, you refused to Napoleon I. WHITBY. At the nomination for Whitby on Tuesday, Mr. W. H. Gladstone defended the conduct of the Ministry with respect to the dockyard labourers. He called attention to a statement, which shewed, he said, that the Tory Government discharged more than 4,000 of those men, whereas the present Ministry had only discharged 1,400. On representation being made to Mr. Gladstone, the Government had assisted to emigrate or to remove to other yards a larger number than those who, under Mr. Childers, had been discharged. With respect to Ireland, the speaker was in a position to deny that the peasantry were more discontented. The Irish priesthood at that moment reposed infinitely greater confidence in the Government of this country than they did before the introduction of the Irish Church Bill. It was true that agrarian outrages were still perpetrated; but then only half of the legislation had been done. They must wait until the reforms were complete before they could adequately judge of the result. HASTINGS. At the nomination for Hastings Mr. Robertson, who secured the show of hands, expressed his readi ness to vote for any of Mr. Gladstone's measures which would be really beneficial, but had no hope that such would be found. The Liberal Governments of Lord Palmerston and Lord Melbourne would never have brought in the measures which the present Ministry had advocated. Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet, in Mr. Robertson's opinion, is a set of Radicals. The Irish Church Act must be the infallible pre cursor of an assault upon the English Establishment. Mr. Kay-Shuttleworth, the Liberal candidate, expressed his determination to support the English Church. He mentioned incidentally that the trouble and suffering which the election petition had caused Mr. North, the late member, had beyond doubt shortened his life. If other members of the House of Commons were similarly sensitive -what mortality there would be amongst our legis lators ! QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CANDIDATE. The Liberals of Chester appear to have made up their former differences, and are now thoroughly united in favour of the Hon. Norman Grosvenor. On Tuesday evening an enthusiastic meeting of the party was held, which was presided over by Sir T. Frost, who was knighted on the recent visit of the Prince of Wales to the city. In introducing the candidate, Sir Thomas announced himself as . feeling sure that the men present would be pleased with the hon. gentleman when they heard him speak ; " and he was certain that the ladies when they saw him would be in ecstasies. They would all say, ' What a very handsome fellow V " Considering that Mr. Grosvenor was on the platform at the time, and that he was in full view of all tho ladies present, it is certainly an omission on the part of the reporters that they do not tell us whether the ladies did go into ecstasies. During his address, the candi date communicated the important fact that " some persons had told him—and, he trusted, faithfully— that he was like his--father in person." What his personal appearance has to do with politics we .are at a loss to imagine. One of the speakers afterwards said he supported Mr. Grosvenor because he was " a chip of the old block," not only physically speaking, but in sentiment—for the hon. candidate had declared himself a Liberal, and was desirous of supporting the Government of "that great man, Mr. Gladstone." Mr. Salisbury, a former representative, supported the candidature of Mr. Grosvenor, on the ground that he was not the nominee of any man, any house, nor any clique. Ono interesting fact was mentioned by this gentleman. After the last general election the present Marquis of Westminster intimated that, with regard to the compact of 1829, under which the house of Eaton nominated one candidate for the re presentation of Chester, so far as the house of Eaton was concerned it was at an end, and that house would heartily support any candidate introduced to the city by the Liberal party. Confidence was expressed that if the unity of the party continues they would be able to return two Liberals at the next election. GLAMORGAN SHIITE. The Liberals of Glamor g anshire will, it is thought, most likely bring forward Mr. Theodore Talbot, the son of the present member, to fill the vacancy caused by his father's elevation to the peerage. The Con servatives of Swansea have chosen Mr. John Dillwyn Llewellyn. MALLOW. The Irish farmers are thinking of returning one of their own class to represent Mallow, which will be vacant shortly, through the acceptance of the Master ship of the Rolls by the Irish Attorney-General. At a meeting of the Cork Farmers' Club it was loudly complained that the barristers generally seized vacant seats. Irish members, when appealed to, can rarely give a satisfactory explanation of what tenant farmers want. It is thought that Mr. James Byrne, of Wales town Castle, will come forward to specially represent the agricultural interest. THE LAND PRODLE3f. The leaders of the Times on the Irish land question are hardly calculated to give satisfaction to those who would form a clear and consistent opinion on the subject. Legalising the custom of Ulster has been first advocated and then set aside ; fixity of tenure is, of course, pronounced impossible ; and yet we are told that the Land Bill, when it is finally settled, will contain something "novel and startling." This sounds vague, not to say ambiguous. But one _principle the Times is quite decided about. There must be a tri bunal to which landlord and tenant can appeal. "The necessary consequence of intervention on the part of the State between landlords and tenants in Ireland must be the creation of a power—it may be the ordinary Law Coults, it must more pro bably be a local and accessible tribunal— authorised to arbitrate between the contending parties." Such a cou r t will not often be called into requisition, for "the sense of there being over both a power strong enough to compel recalcitrants to acquiesce in just judgments will induce the most per verse to listen to reason beforehand." Very likely ; but this suggestion is neither strange nor extraordi nary. The "novel and startling" element .has yet to be revealed. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Mr. Gladstone has again intimated the refusal of the Government to release the Fenian prisoners. The English Amnesty Committee had informed the Premier, through their president, that they had a memorial on behalf of the prisoners, signed by 100,000 persons, in their possessio n , an d likewise two other memorials, ono from Sheffield and the other from the Hyde Park meeting—all of which valuable docu ments they would be glad to present in person to Mr. Gladstone. But the hard-hearted head of the Government refuses to receive a deputation : Though the question has been fullyrecognised as one having a claim on the careful attention of her Majesty's Govern ment, and has been dealt with accordingly, it is not in their judgment one well suited for discussion with a depu tation. Mr. Gladstone hopes, therefore, that he may be excused from a compliance with your request on behalf of the English Amnesty Committee, and that you will be good enough to bring the memorials alluded to in your letter under view in the usual manner. The Com ,- ttee held a meeting on Tuesday evening to consid !lis reply. Mr. Merriman the president, thought had been badly treated. He had agreed that the deputation should be a small one. There should be no demonstration in Mr. Gladstone's house. Everythinc , should be managed in the most diplomatic style. And yet all he had got in reply was this curt message from the Premier's secretary. The great question then confronted the committee : What was to be done with these memorials, which had been so carefully got up, but which the Government despised ? Nobody seemed able ;to solve this problem. The committee couldn't well see what to do with the 100,000 signatures, and the untold numbers of the other two memorials. But they came to one very business-like conclusion—that they had better dissolve and cease to be a committee. This was done, and it was further resolved that no Amnestry Association be formed. The committee, therefore, can at least claim praise for dying well. Nothing in life has become them like the leaving of it. THE HABITUAL CRIMINALS' ACT. The Under-Secretary for the Home Department has addressed a letter to the Lord Mayor of London respecting the operation of the Act recently passed for the special benefit of professional rogues. Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen points out that the prime object of the measure is the protection of the public from the depredations of detected offenders by restraining them from relapsing into their old habits of crime. For this purpose greatly increased powers have been entrusted to the police. Such authority, however, may—and ought to be—exercised so as not to interfere with, but to assist the efforts of those who evince a desire to return to an honest life by earning an honest livelihood. The Under-Secretary likewise points out that the apprehension without warrant of a licence-holder who is suspected of re lapsing into evil courses, or the entry into premises in search of stolen goods, can be made only on the written authority of the chief officer of pblice. For the better supervision of criminals, a register of all persons convicted of crime in Great Britain will be kept in London. THE CIVIL SERVICE. The fourteenth report of the Civil Service Com missioners states that the total number of candidath's who have presented themselves since the Commission entered upon its functions, in May 1855, has been. 66,519. By far the greater part---50,183—were can didates for situations in the Home Civil Service, for which a certificate of qualification is required ; 6,335 were candidates for posts for which no such certificate is thought necessary ; &AL 4.40.1_ aspired. to_ _lke_ Civil Service of THE ST. PANCRAS DOINGS. The Poor-law Board has replied to the complaint of the ill-used St. Pancras Guardians. These officials requested the removal of Dr. Ellis, representing that, in the first place, he had been guilty of " designedly contriving and bringing about " the horrible state of things in the infirmary described by the medical witnesses at the late inquests; and in the second place, that ho had wilfully overcrowded the infirmary by retaining in it patients who ought to have been drafted oil to the infirm wards. The Board refuse to dismiss Dr. Ellis on such grounds without previous enquiry, but investigation into the truth of these serious charges will be promptly made. We shall, therefore, soon learn finally whether a con spiracy has been formed to destroy the reputation of the guardians, or whether they are answerable for the shameful neglect and mismanagement recently disclosed. MR. LOWE'S TWOPENCE. The Aisociated Chambers of Commerce have been discussing the subject of international coinage at Birmingham. Mr. Behrens proposed a resolu tion endorsing Mr. Lowe's scheme of charging a seigniorage on the coinage of gold. Our Mint at present does its work for nothing, whereas other Governments charge a small percentage to de fray the expense of coining money. The Chancellor of the Exchequer would levy a mintage of twopence upon every pound, and thus, he argues, put an end to the practice of inciting sovereigns, and, at the same time, equalise the pound and the 25-franc piece, which differ in value by about twopence. We should in this way, Mr. Lowe promises, gain two advantages : prevent the baneful practice of melting and exporting, and make a stop in the direction of an international money. The Chambers of Commerce, however, are by no means certain that these good results would follow from the change. One delegate at this Birmingham meeting affirmed that, though the reduced sovereign would serve as an international coin, for all English purposes it would represent only 19s. 10d. instead of 20s. Another feared that if such depreciation com menced there would be no knowing where it would stop. It was the general sense of the meeting that the representatives of commerce should not commit themselves too hastily, and accordingly the Associated Chambers came to no resolution whatever. GROUND GAME. Lord Middleton has given p e rmission to his tenants to "dig out, ferret, and kill' rabbits on their farms during December and January, provided they do not use gun or snare, nor resort to unfair means, nor damage fences. The tenant-farmers are, of course, glad to accept the privilege of destroying to some extent the vermin their crops have fed. The Y or k s hi re Ch am bers of Agriculture, which have condemned the over-preservation of ground game, propose to thank Lord Middleton for setting this good example. THE PRICE or BREAD. The Telegraph thinks the price of bread is far higher than it ought to be. There has been a groat decline in the quotations for wheat and flour—they fell further on Monday, and the result is that both commodities are now as low as at any time durinc , the last four years. Yet the familiar quartern is sold at a much higher figure than is necessary to secure a profit. From the highest point which was reached, for both wheat and flour, rather more than a year and a half ago, there has been a gradual decline, amount ing for the whole period to about 40 per cent. But the corresponding fall in bread has certainly not exceeded 25 per cent., and, in the case of high-priced bakers, it has been only about 20 per cent. In other words, the quartern is only twopence cheaper, whereas, to give the public the full benefit of the fall in the raw material, it should have been at least threepence or fourpence cheaper. The natural con clusion, the Telegraph holds, is that either bakers sold at a loss some time ago, or are now reaping an exorbitant profit. Tho former theory is inadmis sible; therefore the public must " put on the screw." THE PRESS AND THE MAGISTRACY. The Lord Chancellor's unfair exclusion of gentle men connected with th e press from. the office of magistrate is exciting much comment. The Town Council of Maidstone have taken the question up; for Lord Hatherley has disregarded their recommenda tion of one Mr. Cutbush to be made Justice of the Peace. They have passed a resolution requesting his lordship to reconsider his determination. Journalists themselves will hardly let the matter rest where it is. RELAPSING FEVER. The remarkable epidemic which has assailed Lon don is, unhappily, still on the increase. A. temporary hospital has been ordered by the London Sanitary Asylum Board ; but as this refuge has yet to be erected, Mrs. Gl:ll3ton° proposes to throw open the Convalescent Home identified with her name fo; the gratuitous reception of those recovering from the fever. More accommodation can be provided at once, but further assistance will be required. A BEPROVEIt OF BISHOPS. Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, besides being a stay and prop of the Church Association, and consequently a very Low C:iurchnian, has also a mission to perform towards "my lord Bishops." He not merely supports asking for inquiry i n t o erroneous eaching : he f o ll ows u p th e father t towards his erring children, i p a t t i t t ! e . s a n Rorie-tendingd t o, liketh a prelates points out with stern severity, and not without a slight smack of patronising superiority, where their lord ships fail to reach their proper standard. Ho has just been lecturing the Bishop of Llandaff for neglect of duty. Mr. Colquhoun is angry with the bishop because he did not bestow his episcopal censure upon a clergyman whose parishioners have been incensed by his teaching the doctrine of the Real Presence. To a memorial from certain of the parish ioners praying for an inquiry, the Bishop r askingfor their c h arges aga i nst t h eir m moro detailed f orm. Thi s rep l y M r. relied by a Colquhoun turned into an expression of sympathy with the clergyman. Being asked by Dr. 011ivant for an explanation, Mr. Colquhoun returns in very dictatorial language that what ought to have been done was that a rural dean should have been sent to inquire into the facts of the case. The Bishop course you recommend a w n as sw a er d s op i t n ed e . frect : The very PROFESSOR TYNDALL AND nix pußimmts. Professor Tyndall has had a neat little quarrel with the well-known firm of publishers, Cassell, Pater, and Galpin. It arose in this wise. Some fifteen years since a saps of graduated reading lessons was published. To it Professor Tyndall and other well-known writers contributed. The work, however, fell flat upon the market. The copyright was bought by Messrs. Cassell a short while since ; and they subsequently published some of the articles—among them th os e of P rofessor Tyndall—in a separate form. They first communi cated with the learned professor; he replied that he had never anticipated any such publication — he has since said he would never have written had he thought his work would thus reappear se late in scientific discovery. He therefore asked Messrs. Cassell to prefix to their now production an explanation of the circumstances under which the book was written ? No such explanation was given, and for the last day or two Mr. Tyndall and the firm have been accusing ono another in the pages of the Times. The scientific author has the best of it, however. - Yesterday a letter appeared, in which the firm apologise for what they have done, and pro m ise to carry out the Professor ' s w i s h es i n th e f uture issues of the book. The young M. NATHAN FREE. impris one d, in It a l y on a c h arge o f treason has been set free. Th e announcemenCof Mr. Nathan's release English l a d recently arrested, and since imprisoned, will be received with satisfaction. The whole affair evidently arose from a misunderstanding. It is to be regrett e d, however, that when the English Legislature had its attention called to the matter, the Italian Government did not more seedily set themselves to put it right. No doubt mistakes will sometimes arise ; possibly Mr. Nathan was much to blame ; most probably ho was indiscreet. Yet schoolboys—and especially schoolboys who are foreigners — do not g enera lly conspire to overthrow Governments. seen that almost w i t h out look i ng. The authorities of Italy might have lIAVNTED UOITSES. What houseowner has a haunted house heavy on his hands, unrentable, unsaleable ? He is wanted.

BELFAST, Nov. 16.—Flax—Owing to the incle mency of the weather, supplies, with few exceptions, were small ; demand was not active, and prices generally ruled in favour of purchasers. Yarns— Although nomarked improvement can be announced some large orders at low figures for the Continent have been reported. Inquiries from England and Scotland have been numerous, but business resulting not extensive. Stocks do not increase. Prices show little change, still the tendency is towards decline. Handloom Linens, brown—Good makes of light linens for bleaching continue in fair request ; coarse grades dull of sale, prices irregular. Ap proved makes of cloth for dyeing and Hollands are in fair request. Improvement in demand has been reported for linen handkerchiefs and diapers ; prices unaltered. Heavy linens and drills are not much inquired after. I'owerloom.—Transactions mode rate in cloth for dyeing and Hollands and linen handkerchiefs ; prices show little alteration. De mand not active for light linens for bleaching and roughs ; prices tend downwards. Demand for heavy linens quiet prices barely supported. Im provement in demand has been announced for damasks ; prices firm and stocks show reduction. Bleached and Finished Linens.—Home trade dull ; purchases being made only to supply immediate wants, buyers appear to operate but sparingly. Improvement latterly announced in the Continental trade has entirely disappeared ; still a mocleratb business has been transacted. In the West Indian trade there has been improvement, and transac tions have been of a satisfactory character. Stocks show little alteration. STATISTICAL SOCIETY. An inaugural address on the progress and pre sent position of statistical inquiry was delivered last night by the President (Mr. Win. Newmarch, F.R.S.), at the society's rooms, and was very nume rously attended. Mr. Newmarch passed iu review the whole range of statistical inquiry, and divided it into eight compartments :-1, Vital Statistics ; 2, Census ; 3, Pauperism, Police, and Crime ; 4, Fi nance (including taxation, funding savings banks, currency, life assurance) ; 5, Conveyance ; 6, Trade ; 7, Education ; Cost and:Effects of Central and Local Government.. lie remarked that on the first three heads we are in this country at present in advance of all other communities. We have arrived at certain ultimate units in vital statis tics ; for example, we know as a matter of absolute certainty that in ordinary years the rate of mortality in England and Wales is 22.48 per 1,000 per annum of the mean population of the year ; that the marriage rate is 16.92 per 1,000, and the birth-rate 35.34 per 1,000. We must also justly claim superiority over . every other country on the fourth division of fiscal and financial statis tics. England is, moreover, the native land of life insurance, and the pre-eminence of this island has been honourably maintained. Under the head of conveyance we have amassed abundant materials, but almost the last scientific discussion and analysis of the facts was Dr. Lardner's book, which ap peared more than 20 years ago, and is now out of date ; but particular points of railway economy have been well discussed in productions sine that date, and particularly in the Commission of the Duke of Devonshire, which sat in 1865-67. As regards the trade returns, he considered that they were susceptible of improvement, but that there is no single branch of our public statistics in which more considerab'e- improvement has occured during the List twenty-five years. Al though there are many defects, the framework of our system is entitled to high commendation, and should not be disturbed except after full and public inquiry, and not abolishing or enfeebling the machinery, but by consulting its action and en larging its power. Mr. Newmarch next passed to the fields of statistical research, which require early attention, including among them :-1. The annual consumption by different classes and by the nation of the chief articles of food ; 2, the annual produc tion of the country ; 3, the comparative wages, house rent, and cost of living in different parts of the country ; 4, the total annual income and earn ings and accumulations of different classes, and of the country as a whola ; 5, the relative taxation of different classes in the country as compared with the same classes in other foreign countries, the com petition of which England has to understand and meet. Besides these he enumerated other groups of subjects, comprising warlike armaments, public hospitals, charitable trusts and endowments, reli gious churches and sects, maintenance of the poor, schools, emigration, India, French Treaty, United States' protective tariffs and specie payments, and the gold discoveries, besides the philosophical determination of the laws of statistical inquiry. A STORY OF FAIIRAGUT SPOILED BY THE OLD Eno.—Admiral Farragut was recently "interviewed" by a reporter of a San Francisco paper. During the conver sation that ensued, the subjoined about the current mast head story of the Hartford came out—the hero spoiling very effectually the mole-dramatic character imputed to him on the occasion of the reduction of the defences of Mobile harbour. Reporter—Then, sir, if the story is a fiction, it has been allowed to remain uncontradictod for a long time. Will you, Admiral, be kind enough to toll me to what cause or incident its origin is duo ? Admiral - With pleasure. It will afford you an evidence of how a well-told and plausible story fre quently repeated becomes universally accepted as a fact. At the commencement of the battle of Mobile bay, for the purpose of obtaining tho best view of the movements of the enemy, and the better to govern the fleet under my command, I got into the lower part of the rigging of the Hartford, just above what is known as the hammock railing. Reporter—Was not your position fraught with great peril ? Admiral -I did not think so; but it was fraught with groat discomfort. As the smoke ascended from the heavy cannonading my view became more obscured, and I was compelled to ascend the rigging gradually, until finally I got some little distance beneath the main top. At this juncture, Captain Percival Dayton-- Reporter—Your fleet captain, was he not ? Admiral —Yes, sir ; Captain Dayton, fearing, ho said, that I might fall overboard in case of being wounded, called one of the quartermasters, and cutting oil a piece of the signal halyards (a small rope), ordered Lim to bring it up to me, that I might render my position more secure. With this rope I attached myself to the rigging. Reporter —You were not near the mast-head, then ? Admiral—l was not. Edward Biggins, now commanding the Cuban man-of-war Cuba, is aVirginian by birth, bu' a Louisianian by adoption. He was appointed to the United Statee Navy, when 13 years of age, by Gen. Jackson. In 1848 he was promoted to a lieutenancy, and served through the Mexican war upon the Pacific coast, commanding a com pany of Lailo, sunder Commodore Stockton, aLd distinguish ing himself as an oftioer. At the breaking out of the civil war he was made Lieut.-Col. of the T wonty-soc.tA Regi inert of Louisiana, Artillery in the Confederate Army, and in the attack of• Admiral Porter's fleets he commanded Forts Jackson and St. Philip, and after a d - •sparate and gallant defence surrendered to that officer. Ater the sur render of New Orleans ho was promoted to colonel, and placed in command of a division of infantry, light and heavy artillery, and cavalry, upon the Yazoo River. Dur ing the siege of Vicksburgh ho wits placed in command of the heavy river batteries, and won, by his ability, the highest praise. Commodore Higgins is about 10 years of age, fine looking, and possesses agreeable manners. As a sailing master he occupies a high position, having in 1856 commanded the Vanderbilt in the quickest trip across the ocean that had, up to that time, been made. He served for six years as commander of the U.S. mail steamer Hernuum, and his voyages were remarkably pleasant and quick. THE FINANCES OF INDIA. (From the Time 3) "A Frontier Officer" addresses us this morning on a question of considerable importance, as affect ing not only the general policy, but the financial prosperity of the Indian Government. The " Frontier" referred to is the North-Western Frontier, or, more exactly speaking, the Northern Frontier of the Punjab. Our correspondent him self gives an accurate description of the country, but as no ordinary maps would show the places specified, and as the point involved is not material to the argument, we may leave the geo graphy of the case out of the question. It will be sufficient to say that in the region beyond the northern border of the Punjab there dwells a population with which our authorities on the spot are very frequently brought into collision. So far it is the old story. Barbarian hill tribes, inhabiting almost inaccessible fastnesses, descend periodically upon the lands of their civilised neigh bours for purposes of rapine or vengeance. It is equally imprudent to submit to these raids and troublesome to punish them. An expedition, how ever justified by provocation, may end in one of those frontier wars which are uniformly costly and not uniformly glorious, while anything like patient or timorous submission to affront might be danger ous to our rule. Now, under such circumstances, exceed'ngly inconvenient, but practically inevitable, what is to be done? What is the best course to be pursued? 1* appears from our correspondent's letter that upon this point the highest and most re sponsible authorities are at variance. The Govern ment of the Punjab, including for the most part the officers actually engaged on frontier service, hold to one " policy ;" the Supreme Government of India holds to another. Our correspondent ima gines that the latter policy is based to a consider able extent on public opinion in England, and he accordingly appeals to us to know what we really think upon a question which he and his colleagues on duty take seriously to heart. It seems to us that " Frontier Officer" has somewhat mistaken the position of the questLu in making this appeal. If the difference existing were a difference of principle, we could reply to his in quiries; but, as far as we can judge, it is only a difference of detail concerning the character to be given to those military operations which all parties concur in thinking necessary. Let us first set our correspondent's mind at rest by saying that we do not believe these quarrelsare kindled by the misbehaviour of British officers in charge of the frontier. From the very nature of the country and its people such offences must needs come, nor is it probable that any methods could be devised for in spiring these fierce and lawless highlanders with sentiments of peace. They will make incursions into our territory, unless they are deterred by fear or s possibly, quieted with bribes, and as the latter alternative is not entertained there is only the former now before us. [low are the tribes of the mountain to be taught to keep their hands off our subjects and our property ? Hitherto, we should observe, the policy pursued has been one which both sides now concur in discarding. When the provocation offered became undeniable the authorities reluc tantly put the forces of Government iu motion. A considerable body of troops, amounting some times to a small army, was hastily collected, and at a large expense marched across the border to do much or little, as the case might be. But, besides the cost of the affair, there was another and even more serious objection to such a system. Although the garrisons of the Punjab are fully 30,000 strong, they are not so organised or quar tered as to be able to furnish a movable column of 5,000 men at a short notice. Such a force is only to be assembled on the occurrence of emergency by efforts and requisitions which throw the whole pro vince into agitation, and agitation in India is a very undesirable state of public opinion. The Government is supposed to be in alarm, not to say jeopardy; the unquiet spirit of the population catches at the chance of intrigue and disturbance, and more harm is done by the commotion than any results of the proceedings can be expected to compensate. That system of operations therefore stands condemned, but at this point the divergence of views begins. Our correspondent, and, as we may assume, the Punjab officers generally, would maintain the old policy, while removing its disadvantages. They argue that the policy failed, not because it was wrong in itself, but because no provision was made for carrying it judiciously into execution. Why should a call for 5,000 troops in such a province as the Punjab throw the whole country into disorder ? Would there bo any difficulty in so organising the military establishments of the province that a contingent of this strength, fully equipped for the field, could be furnished without either delay or disturbance ? In that case, what course could be simpler or more probably effec tual than to march such a force into the offending country, administer the due measure of retribution, and then withdraw it ? That is the policy finding favour in the Punjab. The policy of the Supreme Government consists in rejecting the system of " expeditions" altogether, and providing for the maintenance of order in the hostile districts by a small permanent garrison. Instead of marching au army into the wilds of the Black Mountain and then marching it back again, Lord Mayowould place a thousand men in cantonments on the spot, there to remain as long as may be desirable. As to the relative costs of the two plans, our correspondent says that an effective raid under his system might be accomplished for £lOO,OOO, whereas the garrison would cost £30,000 a year. But for how many years is it supposed the cantonment must be main tained ? If the question here put to us had been whether for the sake of peace and quietness all offences should be left unpunished or the British name be vindicated by fitting retaliation, there would be no difficulty about the reply ; but that does not seem to be the question at all. The Supreme Govern ment and the Punjab Government are at one upon the necessity of giving the offenders a lesson ; they differ only about the best methods of proceeding. It appears to us, therefore, that all the arguments drawn from the presumed unpopularity of border wars and the generally pacific disposition of English- men may be dismissed as irrelevant. We certainly wish to see the Indian Exchequer protected against the demands of a war, and we have learnt by experience to look upon frontier " expeditions" with very little favour. But in this case both parties concur in recognising the necessity of military operations, and the only question before us is a professional question, concerning the par ticular tactics to be preferred or rejected. That is surely a matter rather for the military autho rities of India than for the people of England to decide. We should like to see peace kept on the lluzaruh frontier by the cheapest and most effectual policy discoverable, but when Indian officers differ on this subject it is difficult for others to arbi trate. Our correspondent contrasts the rival plans in forcible language. Conceive, says he, " 1,200 trained troops on one side of a mountain, perma nently located to protect a paltry little valley (whose utmost revenue is £5OO a year) from 3,000 half-naked matchlock-men on the other side— the borderibeing the crest of the mountain, 9,500 feet high, the sides clothed with huge forests, and the villages on each side far down the slopes. • • . Far better to take 5,000 men over the mountain and have it out than thus perma nently waste our strength and prestige." Perhaps that view may be right, but it is obviously possible that 1,000 men on the spot may be worth more than 5,000 out of sight, and, at any rate, the em ployment of a permanent garrison iusteal of a column can baldly represent a pusillanimous or inacti‘e policy.

Information has been received at Lloyd's of the following collisions which have occurred at sea during the past few days :—On Monday the screw steamer Pelham, of Newcastle, and the brig Sea Venture, of Sunderland, came in collision off Whitby. It is not at present known which vessel was in fault, but it is understood that an inquiry will be made. The brig received such extensive damage that it was impossible to save her from going down, and the crew had only time to scramble on board the steamer, when she sank in deep water. The Spa Venture was a fine craft, and at the time of collision was on a voyage from the Thames to the \V ear. The crew have been landed by th e steamer at Shields. Another collision occurred about five miles north-east of Whitby between the Is 3" bella Granger and the Martha, bound from London for Seaham. 'The Mar ha had her bowsprit an d both masts carried away in the contact, and her hull was stove in, and while in this helpless eon' dition the steamer Conservator, of Loudon, took he r in tow, and subsequently transferred her to a tn_ A g' which took her into Seaham harbour. The t hird collision also occurred off Whitby between a schooner, name unknown, and the brig Gem, bound from London for Shieldg. The bows of t he latter were stove in, and the vessel was otherwise, so extensively damaged that she had to be ass isted into Bridlington. The schooner also rece ived damage, but was enabled to proceed. The screw steamer Harwich came in collision, while on her i voyage across from Antwerp, with the William and Mary, which was bound from Dublin for Antwerp. Both vessels sustained damage, but those of th e William and Mary were so severe that the lin wich had to take her in tow to Flushing. Ile steamer Forest Queen, of Hull, came in collision on Monday night with the sloop Friendship , h e ' . longing to Goole, and bound for Newcastle frolo Mistley, and had to tow her from Oxfords' where the collision occurred, to Harwich. A larg e f paddle steamer, supposed to be the Patrick , Drogheda, came in collision with the brig Al °. ander, which was lying at anchor between Cloger head and Rockshill, and cut her down to th e water's edge. The steamer Trevethick has also r been in collision in the Thames with the sche o t Sovereign, of Banff. The latter vessel sank Gravesend Reach. MARKETS.-7 his Day. LIVERPOOL .
