REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. Tho Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in ono or two particular from that laid before then. in 1868. £he income of the year, it will le seen, amounts t 1'510,499 185., and the total charge t- £345,077 10s. 94 The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commeneenieyit of the iirancial year, raised that item to £1,002,974 los. 94., its present amoun t..

Id., of which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected in the year. Theinterest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £30R,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management. are greater by nearly 4800 than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET. JrxE 30, 1869. DR.

The Directors are now prepared to enter into arrange ments for converting the Debentures of the Company into equivalent amounts of Perpetual Four per Cent. Deben ture Stock, and also to receive applications for allotments of the same Stock, at par, to be applied in the repayment of Debentures falling due. Any amount of Stock, not being a fraction of a pound, can be subscribed for and transferred. A commission of (one-half) per cent. is allowed to ap plicants, and the Stock will be inscribed in the Company's books free of all expense. The interest will be paid half-yearly on the 15th Jan uary and 15th July, by warrant. The Stock thus raised will be entitled to the same priority against the property and income of the Company as the Debenture Bond Debt, ranking before the Com pany's entire Stock and Share Capital of Thirty Millions (£30,000,000), and will be the first charge on a net income now amounting to upwards of Three Millions (25,000,000) annually.

Some of the. old Ministers were dismissed, notably M. ROIIIIER, who was " kicked up stairs ;" and sundry reforms were pro mised. The sanctioning of these rested with the Senate, and for some weeks that body has sat in consultation. The Corps L4gislatif was at the same time prorogued, although more than fifty elections remained unverified. The prorogation was announced to be till October 25th. But for some time past it has been known that the reassembling would be put off still longer, and great anxiety was felt as to the date. That day is now announced, and the Chamber is to remain un convoked for another five weeks. The result of this announcement is great indignation and agitation. Why this delay ? it is asked. Even the Government organs are uneasy, and are fain to hide their uneasi ness by saying that the EMPEROR wishes to present to the Chamber the whole of the new measures which he means to introduce, and that he requires time to prepare them. They add that the EMPRESS will not have returned from the East before then, and that the EMPEROR promised on that account to postpone the meeting. The Opposition journals judge the situation much more unfavourably. They look upon this delay as an indication of sinister and reactionary movements. They prophesy all kinds of mischief should MM. RASPAIL and KERATRY, two violent deputies, carry out their threat of presenting themselves at the Palais Bourbon on the 25th instant, and demand admission. Moderate journals consider the position as grave. They may well do so when M. GAMBETTA, one of the ablest and the most eloquent of the new deputies, and by no means an extreme man, calls upon his colleagues to adopt MM. RASPAIL and KEBATRY'S suggestion. In fact, there is suspicion on all hands. This being so, it seems the height of unwisdom for NAPOLEON to have procrastinated. If he is unjustly suspected of designs against the ' Constitution that is all the more reason why he should have dis pelled all alarms by allowing the Chamber to meet on the day appointed originally. If he is justly sus pected, then there is trouble in store for all parties, and he would be a bold prophet who should venture to predict the end thereof. NOTWITHSTANDING the annual sarcasms of the Saturday Review, the Sociologists go on and prosper Every year sees fresh men of note added to their ranks, fresh objects of importance added to their pro gramme. Our superfine contemporary may think that " Prussian Manoeuvres," " Trees," and the "Munich International Exhibition" are more weighty and more interesting than education, the condition of the agricultural labourer, and the suppression of con tagious disease ; but the world does not think so. It is part of the Saturday's religion to sneer at the Social Science Congresses, just as it is to make fun of Dr. CUMMING, Mr. TUPPER, and King COLE, C.B. The latter objects of ridicule are, perhaps, worthy of all that they get ; but let the Saturday be never so funny, the Sociologists continue their work, and are constantly receiving accessions to the ranks of their fellow-labourers. The truth is—and it is strange that our usually keen-sighted contemporary does not see it—Sociology is the politics of the future. We have brought the legislative machine to nearly as great perfection as we are likely to bring it. We have done with Reform Bills for many a long year. The Reform League is dissolved because it has got no work to do. The newly-constituted Parliament has now to discuss the very topics which the Sociologists have been discussing for the past dozen years. Each year, therefore, we may expect to see the Social Science Association increasing in influence and numbers. Even now its proceedings are thought worthy of fuller reports than those of the far older British Association. In fact, were it not that the second named society has lately taken to trenching up - on the ground which properly belongs to the first, its late sittings would have been but very briefly noticed by the press. Mr. CAVE'S contribution to the presidential addresses of the year will scarcely compare with those delivered by his fellow-Presidents. It was very discursive, and not very original. But it is satisfactory to find a Conservative ex-President of the Board of Trade exposing the fallacies of the Protectionists. It is less satisfactory to find that these fallacies are put forward by the working classes. The truth is that the position has now become completely reversed. Whereas twenty-five years ago it was the landed interest which clung to Protection and the working class which clamoured for Free Trade, it is now the first which is upholding Free Trade against the " Revival " doctrines of the second. Tory squires are the vindicators of Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT against the spinners of Manchester, Mac clesfield, and Coventry. "Free Trade," says Mr. CAVE, "is the normal condition of mankind," a state ment that, coming from such a quarter, would have astonished his fellow-sqmres less than twenty years it to hear from Con servativea go. E qua li ll p y s satisfactoryan avowal s of the belief that it is not wise to attempt to check a th gr e icu e lt m ur igoing on from the which coun is try squires have hitherto been too apt to think only of the increased cost which gr al a d t i io st n ricts. higher wages will involve to them, and not at all of the increased comfort which the increase will confer upon the labourers. Mr. CAVE will not allow such selfish considerations to weigh. Probably he believes, as he has good ground for believing, that increased wages do not mean a heavier charge for labour. Anyhow, lie is not prepared to condemn Western labourers to Os. a week in perpetuity w h en th e y m i g ht get double that wage in the North. It is now for the Western counties to determine if they will allow themselves to fall into decay. Their population is diminishing, nor can they hope to main tain it unless they open new sources of indus try. We see no reason why this should not be done. We see no reason why Plymouth and Exeter, for instal - ice, should not become centres for the manufacture of agricultural machinery. Coals can be brought to both towns at a comparatively low rate, and the industry we have mentioned would probably be as remunerative in Devonshire as it is on the barren and thinly-populated sea coast of Suffolk. 22d July last, by which I formally ordered you in future not to print any letter or speech, to speak is public elsewhere than in the churches, to be present in the Chambers, or to take part in the Ligue de la Paix, or any other meetings, the object of which was not exclusively Catholic and reli gious. My prohibition, as you see, did not in the least refer to your sermons in the pulpit. On the contrary, I desired you in future to devote solely and entirely your talents and your eloquence to teachings in the Church. Consequently, it was with painful surprise that I read in your letter that You could not re-ascend the pulpit at Notre Dame, with language perverted by dictation or mutilated by reticence.' You must be aware that I have never forbidden you to preach, that I have never given you any order or imposed any restric tion on your teachings. I only took the liberty of giving to you some counsels, and of addressing to you some observations, especially on the subject of your last lectures, as in my quality of Superior it was my right and my duty to do. You were, con sequently, as free to continue your preachings at Paris or elsewhere, as in preceding years, before my letter of July 22d last ; and if you have resolved not to reappear in the pulpit of Notre Dame de Paris is voluntary and of your own free will, and not by virtue of measures adopted by me towards you. Your letter of the 20th announces to me that you are about to leave your monastery in Paris. I learn, indeed, by the journals and by private letters, that you have already left it, and have cast off your gown without any ecclesiastical authorisation. If the fact is unfortunately true, I would remark to you, my reverend father, that you must be aware that the monk who quits his monastery and the dress of his order without the regular permission from the competent authority, is considered as a real apostate, and is consequently liable to the canonical penalties mentioned in Cap. Periculoso. The pun ishment is, as you are aware, the greater excom munication ; late sententix ; and according to our rules, confirmed by the Holy See, part iii., chap. xxxv., No. 12, those who leave the community without authorisation incur the greater excommu nication, ipso facto, and the note of infamy. Qui a congregatione recedunt, prwter a potasiam, ipso facto excommunicationem et infamite notam incur runt.' As your superior, in accordance with the prescriptions of the apostolic decrees, which order me to employ even censure to bring you back to the bosom of the order you have so deplorably aban doned, I am under the necessity of calling on you to return to the monastery in Paris which you have quitted within ten days from the date of the pre sent letter, observing to you that if you do not obey this order within the time stated you will be deprived canonically of all the charges you hold in the Order of Barefooted Carmelite Monks, and will remain under the censure established by the com mon law and by our rules. May you, my reverend father, listen to our voice and to the cry of your conscience ; may you promptly and seriously de scend within yourself, see the depth of your fall, and by a heroic resolution manfully recover your self, repair the great scandal you have caused, and .by that means console the Church, your mother, you have just so much afflicted."

Children under twelve. 6d. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1869. One of the most notorious novels of EUGENE SUE, Le Juif Errant, was recently, it may be remembered, recalled to mind in a very frightful manner through a reported admission by the sensational murderer TRAUPMANN, of its pernicious influence upon his own imagination. Intermingled with many of its more evil influences, there were in that extraordinary fic tion of the " Wandering Jew" a number of compa ratively harmless, though for the most part wildly Utopian, ideas—ideas which directly emanated from the romance-writer's belief in what is de signated Communism. As a Socialist or Com munist, EUGENE SUE, quite as much as a man of letters, or artist in words, wielded his pen as a writer of imagination. And it was in his first-mentioned capacity more especially, that, in Le Juif Errant, he threw out those suggestions of his in regard to the association of the employed artizan with the employing manufacturer, in the production of any given work of mingled art and industry, in which their skill and capital, respectively, were inter twined, so to speak, or, otherwise to express it, were brought into harmonious manifestation. It was in this respect that he described how it came to pass in the ideal atmosphere of his story, that the name of the brawny, but supple-fingered working goldsmith was inscribed, was either engraved or emblazoned, on the article of vertu upon which his skilled hands had been engaged, in return for the wages of his master, the manufacturer. Touching upon the same ground, though in a more practical or, at any rate, in a less transcendental manner than the French Communistic novelist, one of the most sober minded among our English statesmen, Lord STANLEY, took occasion, yesterday, down at Liverpool, in the course of an address delivered by bins at the newly inaugurated Trades' Hall in that town, before a large gathering of working men, to remark—" Mau does not live by bread a!onc. Pay day is not everything, and it is a natural and not an unreasonable wish for every man to form, that he should have some interest in and some control over the work on which he is employed. Meanwhile I say," added Lord STANLEY, noticing th ,t these words had been greeted with ringing cheers by the workmen there assembled—" that I wish most em phatically to guard myself against being supposed to encourage the foolish fancy that there is anything in the receipt of pay from employers which implies de grading dependence: Wages are equally wages, whether paid weekly or quarterly. It can hardly be said that the Judge on the Bench, or the General in the field, or the Cabinet Minister in his office is degraded by being paid for what he does. But it is human nature, I think, that a man should like to feel that he is to be a gainer by any extra industry that he may put forth, and that he should like to have some sense of proprietorship in the shop, or mill, or whatever it may be, in which he passes his days. And it is be cause the system introduced of late years of co-opera tive industry meets that natural wish that I look for ward to its extension with so much hopefulness. 1 believe," he went on to say, " that it is the best, the surest remedy for that antagonism of labour and capital which we hear so much talked of, and which to a certain extent no doubt exists; for it is not in any way necessary to successful co-operation that the capitalist should be turned out of the con cern. The very best instances of its working, in my belief, are those where the men employed hold a certain number of shares in the under taking, the rest being held by the owner. But questions of this kind--questions of detail—will settle themselves better with the help of time than we can settle them. The one thing that seems to me de sirable is that, no matter by what particular agency or mechanism, the men who give their labour to the concern shall to some extent share in the profit that it makes. No doubt that participation is not to them an unmixed gain. There are losses as well as gains, bad times as well as go . od times ; but the very fact that these vicissitudes occur will make the men who share in them understand and feel better than they ever did before the responsibilities and the diffi culties of the employer—and if, as is quite possible, many having felt its difficulties, prefer the certainty and security of fixed wages, they will, at least, have had their choice between the two systems, and will only have themselves to blame if they are not satis fied." Now in all this there is not one word, not one idea, not one suggestion that partakes in any way of an Utopian character. It is simply suggestive of bring ing together—into a reciprocation of interests—of employ& and employed. But it touches on ground akin to that to which we have already here incident ally referred. So put—put as Lord STANLEY puts it —the proposition comes, and, in the consideration of us all, most acceptably. So speaking—speaking as Lord STANLEY did yesterday to the working men at Liverpool—a Statesman does his work well and effec tively, and that, moreover, in the noblest capacities that can appertain to him i❑ his character as .a States man, in his distinctive capacities, that is to say, as a Social Reformer and as a Practical Philanthropist. PROCRASTINATION is the first infirmity of feeble minds, and that infirmity appears to be growing rapidly upon the French EMPEROR, though hitherto his mind has not been feeble. He has just made what we fear will prove a serious blunder. Ac cording to ordinary arrangements the Corps Ldgislatif should have met at an early date after the elections for their verification. It did meet for a sliort time, hut the Chamber was soon found to be lA2 71E1Z HY AWNTHE. The letter of the Superior of the Order of Bare footed Carmelites has just been published in reply to Father Hyacinthe. The following are the most important passages Your letter of the 20th of September only reached me on the 25 th. You will easily imagine how deeply it afflicted me, and with what bitterness it filled my soul. I was far from expecting you to fall such a depth. It is very true that, during the last five years, in spite of personal opinions, which are in general contrary to yours on many religious questions, as I have more than once expressed to you ; in spite of the counsels I have given to you on several occasions relative to your prcachings, and to which, except ing in the case of your Lent sermons at Rome, you paid but little attention, so long as you did not openly depart from the limits imposed by Christian prudence on a priest, and especially on a monk, I always m anifested towards you sentiments of esteem and friendship, and encouraged you in your preachings• But if that is true, so aim) is it that, from the moment in which I perceived that you were beginning to go beyond those limits, I was forced to begin on my side to express to you my fears, and to mark to you my dissatisfaction. You must remember that I did so especially last year about the month of October, ca l i u n s n e ed t o you what e t ters when passing through F rance , relative to a letter addressed by you to a c l u b i n P ar i s . I th en ex pannoyanceipuo, published h t e l d i a ti Italyn t n g ad d me. Your were also very painful to me, and also drew on you from me observations and reproaches when you last visited Rome. Lastly, your presence and your speech at the Ligue de la Paix filled up the measure of my apprehensions and my grief, and forced me to write to you the letter of the SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 6. The Official Gazette of this morning states that Senor Paul, a member of the Cortes, is command ing a band of Republicans. Communication between Madrid and Barcelona is interrupted, but with Andalusia it has been re stored. The insurgents have evacuated the town of Reus. The army is animated by an excellent spirit. It is expected that the Government bill for the suspension of the legal guarantees of personal liberty and of inviolability of domicile will he voted upon by the Cortes to-night. Fresh bands of insurgents have appeared in the province of Saragosa, and the Republic has been proclaimed at Sa Junquera. The Ministerial papers assert that Senor Paul, the Deputy, had threatened with death all those persons who do not join the insurrection. The movements of the insurgents continue, and acts of vandalism, pillage, and assassination are being per petrated by them. FRANCE. PARIS, OCt. 6. Prince Charles, of Roumania, arrived here this morning, and will be received by the Emperor at St. Cloud this afternoon. The Figar•o says a conflagration took place yes terday tt Bordeaux in the shipbuilders' yard at the docks, and the damage is estimated at one million francs. The Paris papers state that the Republican bands at Oreuase and Murcia have been com pletely dispersed. The chief of the band at the former place had been taken prisoner, and the authorities who bad been captured by the insur gents have been released. Several bands still exist in Catalonia, two are at present in Arragon and one in Andalusia, but no other insurgents are anywhere else. The insurgents are flying after committing great havoc. THE CARDIFF ABDUCTION CASE. An application was made on Tuesday to the Chief Clerk in Vice-Chancellor James's court, by Mr. Joel Emmanuel, of Austin Friars, for the appointment of the eldest brother of Esther Lyons as her guardian. The applicant said that no doubt the name of Miss Lyons would be familiar to the court in connection with the recent proceedings against the Rev. Mr. Thomas, of Cardiff, against whom a verdict of £5O was recently obtained for her abduction from the custody of her parents. The girl had been living at St. John's-wood, but had been sent away by Mr. Thomas to his friends. Application had been made to Mr. Justice Blackburn for a habeas corpus, but his lordship suggested that the better way would be to make Miss Lyons a ward in Chancery, and to get a guardian appointed. The father, of course, would bo her natural guardian, but it was con sidered by the family that the elder brother was a fitter person to have custody of her, and to prevent a marriage which she might be led into by those who had an eye to the large property to which she would become entitled. She was now 19, years of age, and_of weak intellect; and the appli cant had affidavits by the father stating his willingness to the appointment of his eldest son, ➢lr. Ruck n Barnet Lyons, as his . :sister's guardian.—The Chief Clerk asked if a bill had been filed in Chancery?—Mr. Emanuel answered in the affir mative.—The Chief Clerk said Miss Lyons was :a ward then, and sufficiently protected..—Mr. Emanuel said the object was to get the appointment of the brother as guardian in order to examine Mr. Thomas, and proceed against him accordingly. —The Chief Clerk adjourned the case until Friday, for further affidavits. ASSURANCE COMPANIES IN CHANCERY. An application was made to the Chief Clerk in Vice- Chancellor James's Chambers on Tuesday on the part of H. Sewell and W. Wiseman, two of the shareholders of the Albert Assurance Company, for liberty to bring forward a scheme to reconstruct the affairs of the company for bringing them into voluntary liquidation. The Chief Clerk adjourned the matter sine die. Two summonses were down on the Vice-Chancellor's list in Chambers for hearing on Tuesday—the European Assurance Company and Carmichael, and the EurOpcan and Colchester. Mr. Davidson said this was a very heavy suit, involving a large number of transactions, and it was only within the last two or three days the defendants had obtained copies of the minutes. His application was now for a month's extension of time to answer, Molars. Flux and Co. opposed the application, on the ground that it was of great importance to the liquidator, that all the answers should be filed. All the other defendants had put in their answers, and negotia tions were going on between the plaintiff and some of the defendants to compromise their interests, which compro mise could not be brought about until all the answers had come in. There were only two other defendants, and they had undertaken to file their answers within a few days. The Chief Clerk granted a fortnight on payment of costs by applicant. A summons was heard on Tuesday in Vice-Chancellor James's Chambers, before Mr. Leman, Chief Clerk. The Progress Assurance Company v. Mayhew. It involved an application on the part of the official liquidator for the delivering up of certain deeds. It appeared that the Progress Assurance Company and the United Ports Assur ance Company had been amalgamated, and Mayhew and others who were shareholders in the latter Company held the deeds in question. Mayhew's estate was now advertised for sale in tho Landed Estates 6a:elle, and the official liquidator wanted to inspect the deeds, so that he might know what claim the company had on such estates. WHAT TO SAY.—It is related of a certain minister of Maine, who was noteil for his long sermons, with many divisions, that one day, when he was advancing among the teens, he reached at length a kind of resting-place in his discourse, when, pausing to take breath, he asked the ques tion, "And what shall I say more ? " A voice from the congregation earnestly responded, " say ' Amen !' " A. Milwaukee man, who deposited 100 dols. in hank, and was told the interest would be five per cent., came promptly at the end of the year with.s dols..in small currency to pay that interest. When told that the 5 dols. went the other way he looked up in astonishment, and he went away wondering why a man should pay him for being allowed to take care of.his money for a whole year. ENCROACHMENTS OF THE SEA.—The . Maidslone Journal reports that great danger menaces some parts cf the Kentish coast. The sea is steadily working away the defences to the coast line, and at Ifythe, Sandown, and other points the encroachments arc so great as to excite serious fears. Lydd Point js steadily increasing from the accumulation of beach which is swept from other places. More than once fears have been expressed for the safety of Romney ➢larsh. Should an unusually stormy winter cause the sea to break through the slight barriers interposed, a great calamity would be the consequence. A DEATHBEDCONFESSION.—A mall, named Deadman, died recently in a workhouse in the neighbour hood of Bromley. Before his death he confozsed his guilt with regard to the murder of a girl named Jane Jackson, at Bromley, in January, 13G3. The body of the girl was found in a well, after she had keen turned cut of a beerhouse in Bromley, where she was living with a man named Williams. Deadman, together with Partridge, the landlord of the beerhouse, was tried for the murder, and acquitted, and since then he appears to have been leading a vagabond life, during which, according to his own account, he was continually haunted by remorse fcr his crime. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE. Tho other day a young lad fell from the mainroyal yard of a Nova Scotian vessel at Cork. The height was seventy feet. In the descent his body struck against some of the rigging and snapped it ; then falling against a seaman who was on the mainyard he nearly capsized him, and next came upon a piece of timber before finally alighting on the deck. The timber was smashed, and the fall being thus broken the poor lad escaped with comparatively trifling injuries. Two ribs were broken, and the patient suffered from slight con cussion of the brain.—Cork Herald. FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE WHIP OF THE YORK AND AINSTY HUNT.—On Tuesday the meet was at Aslcham Boss, near York, where the hounds soon found a fox Powter, the first whip, following them up so closely that he got some distance ahead of the other horsemen. Soon after he disappeared from their view, and was discovered by Sir George Wombwell, Bart., the master of the hunt, lying near a hedge quite dead. How the accident occurred cannot be known for certain, but it is supposed that his horse in endeavouring to jump the hedge had failed, and thrown him to the ground. Pewter had been fourteen years whip in the York and Ainsty Hunt, and was deservedly respected as an upright and trustworthy man. He has left a wife and three children. TERRIBLE SCENE.—A frightful scene was enacted at Yeovil, Somersetshire, the other day. Mr. W. H. Geake, upholsterer; was about to be taken to the - Wells Lunatic Asylum, by police-sergeant Holwill, Mr. Helyar, gunsmith, and a friend of his. Whilst at Pen-mill Station they paced the platform, and as the train came slowly in Mr. Geake sprang in front of it upon the metals. The serg cant and Mr. Helyar jumped after him. Mr. Helyar fell across the metals ; the train struck him and threw him between the train and the platform. Fortunately a porter named Webber seized him by the hair of kis head, and held him until the train stopped. The sergeant was struck by the buffer on to the six-foot way. Mr. Geake lay between the metals, with the train passing over him, when the bystanders were horrified to see the unfortunate lunatic turn over, place his neck across the metals, and allow one of the wheels to pass slowly over him, crushing him to death. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A CIIIJRCIL—Never has an English congregation witnessed a more exciting scene than that which occurred in the parish church at Ledbury during the morning service on Sunday last. The rector, the Rev. John Jackson, was about concluding his sermon, when a young woman, respectably dressed, and bearing a child in her arms, noiselessly entered .the church, followed by her mother ; and, having walked round to the top of the middle aisle, faced the congrega tion, and, holding up the child, in distinct terms informed them "It was Mr. Jackson's." She afterwards called upon the child to observe its father. It need hardly be said that the rector was agitated, but nevertheless proceeded with the service. It is authoritatively stated that legal pro cc cdings will be at onco commenced by him. The young womrzn's name is Elizabeth Parry, and she is a native of Bodenhian r near Hereford, whence she proceeded by train on Sunday n:orning. It appears that some twelve months ago she was in service as cook at the rectory, where she was confined. TILE AMNESTY* 1110\TEMENT.—At a crowdod meet ing of working men, who have formed themselves into a committee to carry out the prepo3ed demonstration in Hyde Park on Sunday, the 24th instant, in favour of an amnesty to the Fenian prisoners, Mr. J. P. McDonnell,k the chairman, explained that the chief object of the meeting was to mature the arrangements for the demonstration, and to appoint committees of or ganisation in localities where they did not as yet exist, although they were spread over the whole Metropolis. A deputation from the International Demo cratic League attended, and stated that that body was most anxious to co-operate with the committeee in endeavouring to obtain the unconditional release of the political priso ners. Several local committees were appointed, and ino )lmiAary meetings arranged for. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times observes that no doubt there was a time. when Mr. Gladstone would have felt it the highest privilege he could hfilie for to fill half the Bench of Bishops. He ha s now to appoint bishops by half-dozens, and has the selec tion, not only of bishops, but of schools of opinion, for never was the choice more pregnant of consequences. But the result only illustrates the usual fate of those who have hoped took eagerly and forecasted too definitely. Wi sh for nothing too much, lest, perchance, your wish should be fulfilled. These anticipations generally fare as ill those bonds which erring enthusiasts were once believed to contract with the powers of evil, whe n the letter of the contract, indeed, was most exactly as charged, but through some unseen loophole there came in that which marred all the rest. When the newly-electe d member for the University of Oxford saw in propheti c ecstasy the elevation of a new race of saints and scholars to the throne or the stall, it could hardly have occurred to him that when this should come to pass he might have John Bright for his colleague and the discstablishment of the Irish Church for his foremost pledge and chief measure. Numa can no longer consult his Egeria ; he has to go into the crowd to hear what people say of men, and what wil l satisfy the greatest number. It is evident that the Pre" mier is embarrassed, of course somewhat by the richnes s of his field of choice, ,but still more by its variety. Yet delays are dangerous, for the places require to be filled: and tho responsibility of the selection increases. If it is not easy to fix on one man, it is far less to fix on half -a" dozen, for the selection must be by some rule, and a rul e becomes very serious when it is applied to the reconstruo" tion of a Church. Lord Melbourne had the impression that the bishops died to spite him ; and Lord Palmerston took an easy way to abate the annoyance by allowing others to select for him. What would either of these have said to half-a-dozen vacancies at once—half-a - doz en vacancies, too, at such a juncture? The Post says that no more important subject coul d occupy the attention of the Social Science Association than that of emigration. With a desultory spasmodic 0,0600 altogether devoid of system, we have been applying th i% remedy for some of the evils of the body politic, and, cel l " sequently, its capabilities have been but very partiallY developed. There are, however, signs that the period of inaction and apathy is about to give place to one systematic and comprehensive exertion. The greatness of the neglected but available forces is being recogni.e ci t as well as the reality of the disgrace which the situation lays on the nation permitting it. Some of these forces have not been called into play at all ; others have been working feebly and independently. Of the first are Stag. aid, local rating, and the co-operation of the emigrant; the second, colonial action, national charity, and I ona "; d l benevolence and activity. Combined, these forces c o grapple with the difficultyand overcome it ; disunited, their capabilities are virtually powerless. The co-operati on° the Home and Colonial Governments, the emigrants them selves, the charitable of the country, and the paris llCl „ and unions, would work wonders. " There are, said Sir George Grey, "in this country large numbers of people living in misery and destitution; and there are in our c o lonies vast tracts e a land which could afford employment, and food, al l health to thoso people." Why, then, should not the matter t be taken in hand? Is there any reason to be urged aga il ' B , a comprehensive system of emigration being u ndcrtak erl ,, We know of none. The thing has not been done si ng"' because no one has considered it his business t o move i° the matter. But the mind and the conscience Of the country have been enlightened on the subject. It has s ee : that it is almost a crime, and certainly a blunder, to alto; men, able and willing to work, to drift into pauperism only remains to give form and substance to this feeling The Daily Yews remarks that the ninth annual raee tieg t of the Church Congress has had a successful opening Liverpool. In point of numbers this Congress airs` t ; competes successfully with the other gatherings ° f I.l f season, and it probably interests quite as large a section e , the public as any of the Congresses of the year. Ne' t "v it has even yet enlisted the sympathies of all partie s in it Church. Perhaps, after all the Congress itself is wore portant than its work. That such a gathering has arrice at its ninth year is the clearest justification of its existc._nc:. It makes the great change which characterises the Wl' It is impossible to imagine such a gathering in tila early days even of the present generation. The old ten° of the Church, especially the High and Dry Chur ch of al Church and King days, was altogether different from tbe, which permits such gatherings to be possible. The par tiev y pation of the laity in these Congresses indi ca t es the Il e ' position which the laity are assuming in the Church. Archbishop of Canterbury, whose whole attitud e she % that the new spirit of the time has hardly reached °- f highest region of the ecclesiastical world, may slie 3l , ° ,: the laity as represented by churchlyaracts, and ; tribunals, and lay headship, but the more earnes t ' l e i of the Church seeks to associate with itself 'li the religious culture, zeal, and earnestness laymen can bring to the Church's wcrk. These Cong rees :a would be nothing without the laity. Their dis cuses Ch would be as futile as those of Convocation. The Chin of England is beginning to feel that a Protestant 01'11. is made for the people, and not the people it the ellurf, is But a Church made fcr the people must associate people in its government. The more it relies en the support, the more will it ensure their sympathy, °ciao more it associates them with its organization and g°'''t-ba ment, the more will it possess their allegiance.
