THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1869 z . fjl-1 - • . 1 4 -qt ir • ?;* 4W41V0 FORSTER looks forward to the time when there will be elementary schools for all the population of the country, and when not even the outcasts in the streets will escape this preliminary .disci pline. How this change is to be brought about the Vice-President of the Council does not as yet tell us. He represents the department which ought to be a Ministry of Education, and his official position enjoins reticence on a subject which will very probably engross the attention of the country next session. Elementary education is not, however, the only intellectual need of the people. Mr. FORSTER holds that there ought to be, in addition, good secondary schools for the children of those who can afford education up to the age of 14, 16, or 18 years, and beyond these the universities ought to be, not seminaries for the rich, but homes for the best intellects of the country, irrespective of station. Above all, it is necessary that there should be connecting links between the three systems of primary schools, secondary schools, and the univer sities. At present the child who enters one of these grades finishes his education there. By no means can the poor parent transferhis son from theelementary to the grammar school, still less to the university. Establish what Mr. FORSTER calls bridges from one system to another, and the scheme of national educa tion, in the fullest sense of the word, will be complete. This is the great combination which the educa tional representative of the Government has in view. He has already contributed something towards its realisation. The endowed schools will in all proba bility be reformed during the present session. It has long been matter of public scandal that the endow ments of the various grammar schools throughout the country are shamefully wasted. If the letter of the founders' instructions be carried out—which does not always happen—the spirit of his bequest is utterly ignored. The,. endowments of grammar schools were originally bestowed for the purpose of teaching Latin and Greek, because in former clays nothing else was taught. The range of learning has infinitely extended; but Latin and Greek still represent the learning of the grammar school, though of all subjects they are of the smallest utility to " secondary scholars." And even these two solitary dead languages are seldom taught well. For the future the law will pre scribe that the use and application of educational endowments shall keep pace with the wants of the time, and it will exercise supervision over endowed schools in order that the present double scandal of teaching useless subjects and teaching them bidly may be avoided. The Endowed Schools Bill will provide for the needs of secondary education. It was the intention of the Govern ment to go further than the mere reform of abuses. The bill at first provided an examining body both for the schools and their teachers, with the view of keeping up a good standard, and of securing efficient men by granting certificates. It has been found impossible to get this part of the bill through this year, and the reforming clauses will, therefore, be considered separately. One feature of this measure is of special interest. It provides a " bridge' by which the secondary and primary schools may be united, by which the poor scholar of the latter may be advanced to the former. Mr. FORSTER proposes to apply a portion of these wasted grammar-school endowments to the founding of exhibitions, which will be attached to the national schools. These exhibitions will be gained by the I most promising children of the working classes, who will thus secure a higher education, and who may ultimately reach the universities. The plan is already in use amongst the Scotch. Its adoption in England wil be another leaf from the Gaelic book. The entire plan laid down by Mr. FORSTER is very great one, and time will be required for its full development. When the endowed schools are regenerated and connected with primary instruction there will still be the national schools themselves to reform, and then the universities to popularise. But the completion of the work may be looked forward to at no distant date. The Yorkshire Union may then take heart. It is only by first thoroughly instructing the child that the instruction of the man —of which the country stands so much in need — can prosper. We find the contest with the scientific training of the Continent to be more and more severe. The best system of general education that can be devised will be incomplete if means for technical instruction be not also provided. This necessity is more and more acknowledged. It is a remarkable fact that the science schools have increased in one year from 183 to 355, and the scholars from 8,600 to 14,200. This really looks like a national awakening. The mechanics' institute will yet occupy its proper position. The institution which is ahead of the times in one generation falls to a level with them in the next. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.) PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.—The House of Com mons, in addition to its permanent inmates, has now got a Guest in the person of the new member for Yougbal. We hope a welcome Guest. A SAFE limn LANDLORD.—There is one argument in favour of Mr. Bright's scheme for the purchase of Irish estates by the Government which the Earl of Derby, perhaps, has not considered. That plan would constitute Government the landlord of Ireland. Government might possibly get payment of rent, or the price of land resold, by enforcing it, and Government is a kind of landlord that could not be shot from behind a hedge. (From Judy.) GOVERNMENT ECONOML — MoiIey makes the mare go. It has cost £2,500 to make the Mayor of Cork go ! UNDOUBTEDLY.—If Mr. Gladstone allows Mr. Bright to " have his head," fir the future, as he's been having it lately, he'll merit the sobriquet of " The Permissive Bill !" THE SUPPLEMENTARY ACADEMY. - With Mr. Moy Thomas's notions of what deserves to be " hung," we should recommend him to secure the Home Secretary to serve on his committee. A NATURAL RESULT- -Judy was delighted to hear the member for Mid-Lincolnshire speak so well the other night. But, on a Church question, he naturally would come out strong, for is he not a Chaplin? (From Fun.) A PERPETUAL SUPPLY.—" Fire," says the proverb, "is a good servant ; " we would add, " Water is one that should never be turned-off. POT AND KETTLE.—We like a kettle that does its work without a deal of spout and vapour. All honour, then, to Mr. Rupert Kettle, the " Rupert of the Debate" between the employers and the employed a Manchester ! 'Thanks to his arbitrations, there will be neither lock-out nor strike ; and the wives and families of the workmen ought to be grateful to the Kettle that keeps the pot a-boiling, - THE Housu OF—CORRECTION.—Some papers seem very much amused at a contemporary which, by a typographi cal error, announced the other day that a convicted thief was sent for two months to " the louse of Commons." We really see little to laugh at. Considering the rate of progress on the Irish Church question, we think that for some time it would have been a very severe punish ment to be sent to the House of Commons. Mr. Bright is taking care of the proprieties in his own department. He has issued an order prohibiting smok ing during office hours. A Manx newspaper; Mona's Herald, states on au thority that thero is no truth in the report of the Queen's intenticn to visit the Isle of Man. The men of the ship which rescued the crew of the Blue Jacket claim 50 per cent. salvage cn the box of £4,000 specie which they took on board with them. At the Birmingham police-court, on Thursday, Stephenson, a butcher, was fined £2O for having a quantity of mewled pork in Lis possession with which he was about to make sausages. The will of the late Sir Edward Cunard has been admitted to prolate in New York. His estate is valued at $3,300,000, of which he bequeaths 81,500,000 to his oldest son, Sir Bache Cunard, now aged sixteen years, $700,C00 each to Lis second and third sous, and . $lOO,OOO to each of his four daughiers, all quite young. The betting men of Manchester are paying some heavy royalties upon their business. On Thursday Mr. Head fined another man £75 and costs. A clerk of one of the men who was fined on Tuesday was also brought up, but when his position was known he was discharged. Tho smaller fry have not escaped. Several of those proprietors of turning boards, &c., who hover round race-courses as flies do near treacle, have been sent to prison. Three per sons were let off because they obtained their living by a "ringing board," which Mr. Trafford held to bo a game of skill. LAY READERS IN TTIF; CIIURCII OF ENG L A ND. The Bishop of London (Dr. Jackson) has given practical effect to a movement which has long been discussed—the advisability of appointing, formally, laymen as readers for the assistance of incumbents of overworked parishes, under a commission from the Bishop authorising the holder to conduct services for the poor in school and mission rooms, and in the open air. At a service held in the bishop's private chapel at London House, eight readers have been formally admitted, four for the parish 9f St. John's, Hoxton, one for the mission district of St. Luke, Bethnal green, one for Acton, and two for St. John's, Fitzroy square. The Bishop, assisted by the Rev. W. F. Erskine Knollys and the Rev. F. H. Fisher, officiated. The Rev. G. P. Pownall, J. J. Coxhead, E. Parry, and G. Barnes, the nominating clergy, and a few friends, were present. After part of the usual morning service the Bishop de livered to each candidate a copy of the New Testament and a commission worded as follows :—" John, by Divine per mission, Bishop of London, to our beloved and approved in Christ, A.B. Greeting : We do, by these presents, give unto you our commission to act as reader in the parish of C. within our diocese and jurisdiction, on the nomination a the Rev. D. E., rector (or vicar) of the same, and do authorise you, subject to his approval, to read prayers and to read and explain the Holy Scriptures in the school thereof, or in other rooms within the parish, and generally to render aid to fhe incumbent in all ministrations which do not strictly require the service of a minister in holy orders, and we further authorise you to render similar aid in other parishes in our diocese, at the written request in each case of the incumbent, and we hereby d eclare that this our commission shall remainvalid until it shall be revoked by us or our suc cessors (whether mero motu, or at the written request of the said D. E) or until a fresh admission to the said parish of C. shall have been made. And so we commend you to Almighty God, whose blessing we humbly pray may rest upon you and your work. Given under our hand and seal; &c." The Bishop proposes to issue similar commis sions under the following conditions :—The office is to be unpaid, and is to entitle the holder to conduct services for the poor in school and mission-rooms, and in the open air. The incumbent proposing to nominate a reader is to apply to one of the secretaries of the association of lay helpers for a form of nomination, and to send it, filled up, to the Bishop. He will thereon supply the Bishop with the names of two communicants who are ready to testify to the character and fitness of the proposed reader, should confidential inquiry be made of them. The Bishop will require an interview with the proposed reader. When satisfied of the competency of the person nominated, the Bishop will name a time and place for his admission, either in the Bishop's' private chapel, or in the church of the parish or district in which the reader is to exercise My office. LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1869. The decision of the Cortes, just announcing by tele gram from Madrid, that Monarchical institutions shall henceforth still be maintained as the framework of the Spanish Government, cannot but prove a "heavy blow and great discouragement" to the De mocratic Conspiracy said to be, in severalof the States of Europe, either in readiness or preparation. Philo sophic Republicans have—ever since the outbreak of the Spanish Revolution drove Queen ISABELLA 11. into exile over the Pyrenees—been looking hopefully to Madrid as to a recognised rallying point. Imme diately after General PRIM had appeared side by side with Marshal SERRANO, it was said, and for some time with almost literal truth, that there were scarcely half a dozen Republicans anywhere discoverable in the Iberian peninsula. Po litical discussions, however, becoming more free and open—so soon as the Wakened people began to recog nise what they were hardly prepared to realize in earnest at the firstblush of thedawn of the revolution, namely, that the last BOURBON stronghold in Europe, bad really been swept away and utterly obliterated— advocates of Republicanism began at length to creep out into the sunshine, as it were, and to acknowledge in the open day and in the face of all men that they really had an existence. Several months sped by, and in proportion as the EX-QUEEN'S hopes as to her own restoration first of all, but after wards as to the possible summons to the vacant throne of her eldest son, the Prince of the Asturias— in proportion as those some time tenderly cherished hopes of the Ex- QUEEN faded away, the aspirations of the Democratic party rose, and gathered strength as they rose, until the originally derided dream of a Spanish Republic seemed, to themselves at least, almost within reach of realisation. Everything de pended, of course, upon the decision that would be eventually arrived at in regard to one of the most momentous articles of the newly-prepared or preparing Spanish Constitution. Upon that particular article, it is that the national representatives have now formally, and deliberately, and certainly, it must be added also, most emphatically pronounced. The Cortes have declared, in point of fact, by a majority of more than three to one—that is to sty, by a ma jority of 214 to 71—for a Monarchical against a 'Republican form of Government. Away, into thin air, vanish at once the daydreams of the Democrats. The notion of the new Political Institution preparing for Spain proving in the end to be a Republ:can Stronghold, or Watch fower, or Citadel, or Barbican, whence the Democratic banner might flutter as a raly ing signal to all the political freethinkers of Chris tendom—all this turns out to be the merest castle in the air, or, to use the aptest phrase possible at the moment, the merest Chateau en Espagne ! Our own in stitutions being essentially Monarchical, being almost immemorially Monarchical, from BOADICEA to VIC TORIA, with the one memorable interregnum of his Highncs the Lord Protector, OLIVER CROMWELL, as the all but Kingly Chief of the Commonwealth— naturally the decision of the Cortes appears, to our selves, in:a remarkable degree reasonable, judicious, and satisfactory under existing circumstance. That is to'say, remembering that, in Spain as in England, the very genius of the laud, so to speak, is Monarchical. As for ourselves, as for England, when England was a Commonwealth, it is recorded indelibly on the pages of our history at that memorable juncture that even the Puritan Soldier, then chosen by the people as their Democratic leader, though, like CESAR on the Luperaal, he thrice declined the kingly crown when offered to his grasp, he—strong, bold, stalwart veteran as he was--fainted away after he Lad entered his carriage on leaving the doors of Parliament. Whetl}er as Protector, or Regent, or what not, the holder of the rights of sove reignty, upon the rare occasions when the throne has not actually •at the moment been occupied— both in Spain and in England—has, as a rule, always, invariab:y, like King Death in the allegory of MIL TON, " the phantom of a kingly crown had on !" It was, there, even discernible around the brows of red nosed OLIVER—it was appreciably noticeable in his very title as " His Highness the Lord Protector." The pomp and pageant of the thing is in a manner, one is almost tempted to say, irremovable from Spain. It is, thence, at the least, not very easily removable. It is consequently a wise decision that the Cortes has now arrived at under the emergency. Granted, however, that it has been satisfactorily de cided that Spain is to be a Sovereignty—it yet re mains to be discovered who is to be the Sovereign. A SOMEWHAT delicate duty was set before the Vice-President of the Committee of Council at Leeds, on Wednesday evening, and he displayed considerable finesse in discharging it. He was called upon to preside at the thirty-second annual meeting of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes. It must be admitted that mechanics' institutes in general, and those of Yorkshire in particular, have been put to a tolerably lengthy practical test. The experience of a generation ought, one would think, to determine the value of most philanthropic enter prises. And, certainly, if mechanics' institutes do not flourish in the West Riding—that great centre of manufacturing industry, artisan intelligence, and liberal ideas —it can scarcely be expected that they will prosper elsewhere. And yet the best friends of the Yorkshire Union appeared rather dubious on Wednesday as to the result of more than thirty years' labour. It is yet a vexed ques tion whether mechanics' institutes have proved a success or a failure. The West Riding was, in a measure, the home of the idea. Its large communities of well paid artisans seemed to present a field from which a plentiful harvest of social and intellectual reform might be reaped. But the educational improvement wrought by the institute has been only limited, and it is clear that it has yet to become the successful rival of the public-house. Never theless, the case is - not one for despondency. The advocates of other good works have fought uphill battles of even greater length, and have triumphed in the end. In the case of mechanics' institutes, there seems a special reason why they should not at first prove successful. They were a structure without a foundation. In order that working men may be able to avail themselves of such secondary and scientific education as these establishments were designed to furnish, it is necessary that they should first enjoy the blessing of good elementary training. This, thirty years ago, they had no chance of obtaining. On the contrary, the national system of primary instruction and these institutes were established at the same time. The generation of working men to whom the institutes were first offered had been reared during a period when primary instruction was woefully neglected. It was not likely that they should tarn their attention to the higher branches of learning v. - lien they, as a body, knew nothing of the ~ elements. „ FORSTErt succeeded in sheaving clearly that the difficulties' with which scientific training has hitherto struggled ought no longer to prove for midable. Dismissing tie unsatisfactory past, he fairly made out that if m ,o.ehanics' institutes and kindred undertakings fail for the future, it will be owing solely to the indiffeiVirce of those for whose benefit they are P rovided. In the first place, we have no P r a system of national elementary education, wb e.ceas a generation ago there was none. This systeni is not all that we could wish, but it answers a tern porar3' purpose, and the time for decisive reforzin cannot be far off, Mr. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLIES. On Thursday the General Assembly of the Established Church of Scotland was opened in Edinburgh, with the usual ceremonial. In the forenoon the Earl of Stair, her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner, held a levee in Holy rood Palace, which was attended by a large number of the members of Assembly and others. After the levee his Grace went in procession to the High Church, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Barty, of Ben dochy, the retiring Moderator. The route of the proces sion, by Abbey-bill, Regent-road, Waterloo-place, North Paidg., and High-street, was lined by the Royal Artillery from Leith Fort, the Bth Hussars, the 42nd Highlanders, and the Enrolled Pensioners. The streets were crowded with spectators. The Lord High Commissioner drove in a State carriage, drawn by six horses. The livery was blue, with yellow facings, and silver lace. In the procession were the Moderator of the Assembly, the judges of the Court of Session, the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council of Edin burgh, the Sheriff of Midlothian, &c. At the conclusion of the service in the High Court, the Lord High Commis sioner proceeded to the Assembly Hall, and during his progress a royal salute was fired from the Castle. The Assembly having been "constituted," the election of Moderator was held. Dr. Barty proposed that his suc cessor in the office should be Dr. Norman Macleod. The motion having been unanimously agreed to, Dr. Macleod was introduced to the Assembly, and took the chair amid loud applause. Dr. Ramsay, purse-bearer to the Lord High Commissioner, handed to the clerk his Grace's commission, which was recorded. The cleric read the Queen's letter, intimating the appointment of the Commissioner, and expressing her Majesty's continued attachment to the Presbyterian Church by law established in Scotland. The Lord High Commissioner addressed the Assembly, and announced her Majesty's annual gift of £2,000 to be expended for the propagation of Christian knowledge and education in the highlands and islands. The Moderator, iu returning thanks for the gift, remarked that the Assembly recognised it as a proof the goodwill of the Cs-own that one occupying so high a position in society, so much respected for the excellency of his charac ter, u should a vc who be a t t o i r o ep fli r c e e s - e b n e t af i e e r r o: ra t g a C y l a u s i r i e l h er , selected a en s al also High Commissioner to the General Assembly. After some other business had been transacted the Assembly adjourned till next clay. _ The General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland also met on Thursday, in the new Assembly Hall, Edin burgh. The Rev. W. Nixon, Montrose, the retiring Modera'or, preached the opening sermon. At the close cf the service Mr. Nixon proposed that the Rev. Sir Henry Wellwood Moncrieff be elected Moderator, which was seconded by the Earl of Dalhousie, and unanimously agreed to. Sir Henry was then introduced to the As sembly, who received him with loud applause. On taking the chair he delivered an address bearing chiefly on some of the public questions of the day. A com mittee was then appointed to draw up a loyal and duti ful address to the Queen, after which the Assembly adjourned. ANEW RISH LIEUTENANT.— The Lord-Lieutenant has appointed the Marquis of Conyngbam Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum for the county of Meath, vice the Earl of Fingall, deceased. A PARTY NEWSPAPER.—Mr. Bald win Bastard, at a recent meeting at Plymouth, described a party organ as being "set to grind only one tune, and the duty of whose conductors it was to keep on grinding according to orders as long as it could raise the wind." SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE G OS VEL. —At the monthly general meeting it was announced that J. C. Colquhoun, Esq, would not be re-proposed for ¶ncorporation in June, but that the name would be brought , forward at the annual meeting in February next. It was" stated that the Archbishop of Canterbury had expressed his willingness to allow the use of a certaidpart of Lambeth Palace as offices for the society, and a sum was voted to enable the committee to obtain the necessary professional ad vice as to the adaptability of the rooms to the society's use. THE DUBLIN ELECTIONS AND REVISION. —The Liberals of Dublin are already alive to the importance of having the next parliamentary revision conducted as effi ciently as possible. An influential meeting was held on Friday at the Gresham Hotel, and after addresses from Mr. Pim, Sir D. Corrigan, and others, a subscription list was opened to defray the necessary cost. It was stated that not less than £l,OOO will be required—if the work be well done it will be very cheap for the money—and £350 was contributed in the room. Treasurers were appointed, and a committee to collect subscriptions. THE ANGLO-AMERICAN UNIVERSITY RACE.—A :—" letter, dated Oxford, Friday, says The four who have been selected by the University Boat Club to do battle for the Dark Blue went to Iffley and back this evening, Mr. ,anedx-Pcoraecsiiidileign.t olf,hethfoellOol.vUin.gß.wCa.s, t F a . ki l n Ar g il t l h an e , ru o d f de E r x l - i e n te e r s the disposition of the men :-1. It. D. Benson, Balliol ; 2. A. C. Yarborough, Lincoln ; 3. J. C. Tined, University ; 4. S. D. Darbisbire, Balliol. The doings of the men were attentively watched by a number of spectators who had congregated on the towing path, and their rowing received marked commendation. The crew will hare the full confi dence of the Oxonians, as they are even at this early stage remarkable for their pace and style of going. The betting is 6 to 4 on Oxford. THE WORKING MEN OF DUNDEE AND THE SCOTCH EDUCATION BILL—The working men through. out the kingdom are paying great attention to the subject of national education. The Dundee Institute, a body composed of working men, has adopted an elaborate report, which has been drawn up by a committee appointed to consider the Government education bill for Scotland. The report, while admitting that the measure in question contains some good principles, urges its rejection en the following grounds :-1. That while authorising the imposition of a public rate, it makes no provision " for the compulsory attendance and free elementary instruc. tion of all the children of school age." 2. Because, as amended in the House of Lords, it would " perpetuate the existence and encourage the extension of the denomi national system." 3. Because in making the teacher's income depend upon only a small fixed salary, and on a variable grant dependent on his bringing up a certain number of pupils to the Privy Council standard, it is in opposition to what the institute declares the only sound principle of payment, viz., that "the teacher's entire annual income should be fixed at once at such a minimum as will enable him to maintain a respectable professional position, and that his situation, not his salary, should be dependent on the general excellence of his school as re ported on by competent inspectors." Thty express their opinion that "a national system of education should em brace a course of instruction commencing in the ?denten tary Behool and terminating in the university,';_ THE IRISH CHURCH BILL The John Bull publishes conspicuously the following 'important article :—" The reception given to our state ment that the Earl of Derby would move the rejection of ;he Irish Church Bill in .the House of Lords by our 2ontemporaries was amusing. The Globe acknow edged it ; the Pall Hall and Standard would sot touch it ; the Evening Star and Echo appro. oriated it as from a Tory contemporary. On Monday the Daily News alone had the audacity to reprint it. All the Church and Dissenting papers have !eproduced it, but none save the English Independent seem to credit it. We have been expecting daily an Mdignant denial of its authenticity ; for nothing could be easier than to say that it was not correct ; for no notice has been formally given ; the bill has not yet reached the House of Lords ; and it is, of course, not etiquette officially to announce a decision of a party till after the formal meeting next month. •No denial, however, appeared, though rAberal papers pretended to ioubt our accuracy, till yesterday, when the organ of the publicans denied it, and last night the Record informs us that Lord Derby's personal friends' gainsay its truth. We are not told where, and we confidently await the verification of the substantial accuracy of our statement. Had the Earl of Derby not been prepared to move the rejection of the bill, Lord Redesdale or Lord Bandon would have done so. In that case, however, the Govern 'nent would probably not have had much to fear, for Lord Cairns was understood to have counselled amend ments of the bill in committee. We are loath to believe the prevalent rumours that he is still inclined to urge the less bold policy. Of course if Lord Derby find the bill defeated by the action of a Whig Peer he will interpose no obstacle, but he will not allow the bill to be read a second time. The country will thoroughly back him up. Arrangements have been made for meetings to petition the House of Lords to reject the bill at Leeds to-day, in the City of London on the 2nd or 7th of June, under the presidency of Mr. Joseph Hoare ; at Blackheath on June 2 ; at Castleford on the 24th inst. ; at Wakefield on the 25th inst. ; and on an early day at Sheffield, Halifax, Huddersfield, Manchester, and Sal ford. In the latter town there will be fourteen platforms from which the people will be simultaneously addressed. We direct attention to the admirable form of petition to the House of Lords issued by the Church Institution, which will make arrangements for other meetings." The following statement by the Dublin correspondent of the Times seems to confirm and give additional importance to the above article. " The 'standing committee' of the Church Conference, which lately seemed disposed rather to stand at ease than fight, has been obliged by the pressure 'rum without to resume active operations in opposition to the Ministerial bill. Having last week set aside the resolution of the preceding week appointing a deputation to proceed to London to urge the House of Lords to throw mat the bill, they yesterday, after a debate which lasted for more than five hours, again resolved to take the course they had abandoned. An amendment was proposed by one of those who voted in the majority at the last meeting against the sending of the deputation, but it was withdrawn, and the resolution in favour of sending a deputation was carried by a majority of 28 to 9. A strong feeling of dissatisfaction had been excited out of doors, and the committee were reminded that the duty which they had been appointed by the Conference to perform was to oppose the bill, and that they had no authority to take any other course, however strongly of opinion they might be individually that it would be better for tLe interests of the Church to accept the bill with reasonable amendments rather than have the question made a subject of bitter and protracted agitation. The Central Protestant Defence Association have also resolved to send over a deputation to meet the peers on the 28th instant." A TENANTRY AGAINST THEIR LANDLUI?D. The announcement recently made by the Earl of sand wich of his determination to sell out his estates of Bailin 'ough and Ballingranna, parish of Kilteely, in the county )f Limerick, by private contract, has engendered a very strong feeling of discontent among the numerous tenantry apon that property, exceeding forty in number. They have published the following manifesto, setting forth the njustice which they consider the course intended to be mrsued will inflict upon them and, their families :—" In the first place, it is a matter we view with regret, having hitherto stood on very good terms with him and his agents and having always been punctual in the payment of our -ents. ' The present method of procedure, we believe, has )een adopted by the Earl of Sandwich through our non mmpliance in paying the rent according to the valuation of LB6B, which was reckonedby us, and all other men having 1, knowledge of the property, as exorbitant, considering that 'and of a superior quality is let in this and the adjoining. ?arishes of Hospital and Greane by Mr. Anderson, Vis :..ount Castlerosse, Lord Leconfield, and others at a cheaper •ate. The noble earl seems to think the valuation of 1868 s more equitable one than that of 1854, when, he alleges, Drices were low; but we find that increase in the rate of !abour, and other matters attendant on farming, more than counterbalance the surplus, which is very trivial, con sidering that prices are much lower this year than twelve months ago, when the valuation was made. Neither does he take into account that we were just emer ging from our difficulties after the famine year, when the valuation of 1854, which is between 30 and 40 per cent. over the Ordnance valuation, and according to which we have paid to the present day, raised the rents considerably on the treater part of the tenants. It is painful to us to consider that the improvements we have effected on our farms by our labour and industry since 1854 do not redound to our advan tage, whether in having a still higher rent imposed upon us, or in the event of a sale of the property. These improve ments, which are considerable—as can be seen by the present state of the lands compared to what they then were—we never would have made did we entertain the slightest notion of either contingency. But so much for :he land laws of this country, by which the tenant•farmer :lan be deprived of the fruits of his labour. In conclusion, we beg to suggest, that should the Government feel dis posed to establish a `peasant proprietary,' as suggested . )3 7 several prominent members of the Legislature, the luestion at issue affords them an opportunity of purchasing th e property—a course which would entail no loss on either the seller or the Government, and which, if acted upon in 41 cases where landlords wish to dispose of their estates, would bring peace and prosperity to this unfortunate .lountry." PROPOSED CONSERVATIVE BANQUET AT FROME.— Ur. Serjeant Sleigh, the Conservative candidate at the late election, has accepted an invitation to dine with the Conservatives of Frome on Thursday, the 3d proximo. ANOTHER IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEER. Notice is given in the Gazette that writs have been issued tor the election of an Irish representative peer, in the room of the late Earl of Wicklow. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S. FIRST CONFIRMATION.—O n Friday his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury held the first confirmation in the cathedral of the city of Canterbury since his elevation to the metro politan see ; and advantage being taken of this ci-cum stance, nearly 400 young persons presented themselves, and received the holy rite at the hands of the Archbishop. THE ROBBERY OF ARMS AT CORK.—Three men, named Long, Brien, and Byrne, who are charged with having forcibly taken a revolver from Professor O'Leary, of Cork, on the night of the 9th inst., were brought before the magistrates on Wednesday. Byrne was discharged, as there was no evidence to warrant his detention. The other two were committed for trial at the assizes, bait being refused. The Government bill for throwing the ex penses of en eleCtion inquiry commission upon the county or borough where . the election took place has been published. The plan proposed is that the Trea sury shall advance the expenses, which aro to bo repaid within the year, being charged in English counties upon the public stock of the county, and in boroughs upon the poor rates. For Scotland and Ireland the provisions are slightly varied to meet the different conditions of these countries. A report is current in London Catholic circles that Mr. Ffoulkes has been formally received back into the Established Church, and that he is about to resume his functions as a clergyman of that communion. We give the tale for what it is worth, and without vouching for the truth of it. At the same time there can be no doubt but that, after his recent letter to the Archbishop of Westminster, and the general anti-Catholic tone of everything this gentleman has written for some years past, his right place is where he came from—in the Anglican, not in the Catholic, camp.-IVeclety Register. Tire BRENNER PASS.—Captain Tyler's report to the Board of Trade on the facilities afforded by the Brenner Pass and the Brindisi route for communication with the East, has been issued as a parliamentary paper. Captain Tyler sees nothing to prevent an express service being organised on the Brenner line. The time occupied in travelling by it from London to Alexandria would be 150 hours ; by Mont Cenis 150. hours, or 147,1 when the tunnel is finished. There would be a saving of thirty hours over the Marseilles route. Captain Tyler says, however, that these routes will only be provisional, pending the advance of railway communi cation through the south-east of Europe and the west of Asia. " The hope of the Indian traveller of the next generation," he adds, " chimerical as it may appear to many at present, must be nothing less than to pass dry shod from London to Bombay—through a submarine tunnel from Doyer to Calais—through Europe by railway --fiver the Bosphorus by a bridge, and forward by railway down the Euphrates yalley, and round tll aeViiftr% Gulf Iy rit runlyt r iYa HER MAJESTY.
