THE Prussians are chiefly aggrieved in regard to England by the undoubted fact of the exportation of g.rws from this country into France during the pro gress of the present war at every possible opportu nity. And the circumstance that arms are thus sup plied by a neutral Power to one of the belligerents, beyond all manner of question, is a grievance. Sup posing this astounding anomaly were brought before one of our tribunaLs of justice, the' evil complained of would be in nu way palliated to the Germans by the consideration of that other fact that " the law allows it, and the court awards it," a fact equally astounding. No wonder the Germans in talking of this, in thinking of it, . exclaim with a sense of burning indignation "It is by British cannon balls and by British bullets our soldiers are killed and wounded !" Rejecting-7as the Times' correspondent at Versailles remarks, when alluding to these Ger man expostulations—rejecting, and repelling utterly any interpolation. of " And America too," with ME SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1870. the scornful reply, "Yes ; but Amerida is four thousand miles away ; you arc at the door of France !" adding these words of plain, point blank enquiry, " Why don't you send men to hold your guns at.once i" All this meaning as distinctly as would a derisive snap of the fingers—" So much for your neutrality !" Nor when the whole position comes to bo looked at dispassionately can it be denied that, as the law now stanls, the Germans have in some sense cause for indignation. As if to underline and emphasise the already sufficiently glaring fact of the anomaly we are referring to, that arms can be, that arms actually all this time are being matufactured by ono of the neutrals, and exported for use of the deadliest kind by one of the belligerents, it so happens that the principal place at which and in which the most formidable and the most destructive of these implements are manufac tured is—of all places that could be named—Bir mingham ! In other words the very town whose most famous representative is that member of the Cabinet whose main distinction as a public man, as a politician, as a statesman, as an adminis trator, is that he utterly abhors War E that he is so devoted an advocate of peace that for years past he has gone in for, that up to this present moment he goes in for Peace at any Price ! . Sup posing Mr. BRIGHT can give his attention for a passing moment to things as they are, immediately around him, and at the actual seat of war, it surely cannot but be repugnant to his whole soul that money is being earned (blood money, shall we call it ? ) among his own constituents by supplying one of the two • belligerents with instruments of destruction- When the pacification does come at last, as sooner or later it by necessity must and will, some clear in ternational understanding may surely be arrived at, by means of which so hideous an anomaly as this may no longer be muddled up with what is wildly, certainly very vaguely, designated, heretofore, Neutrality. TOPICS OF THE DAY. a pound of ice-cold water a pound of iron at a tem perature of 100 degrees. In examining the tem perature the two acquire, after being in contact for some time, it proves to be about 11 degrees, so that the iron has sunk in temperature 89 degrees, thus losing a greater amount of heat than the water has gained. Water being the standard of comparison, you find the specific heat of iron by dividing 89 degrees by 11 degrees, the result being about 8 degrees. The loss of a certain quantity of heat by the iron affects the temperature of the iron more than the gain of the same quan tity of beat by the water affects its temperature; accordingly the capacity of iron for heat is less than that of water, cr the specific heat of iron is less than 1. Similar experiments with olive oil proved its specific heat to be little more than half that of water. Further explanations on the important subject of evaporation were reserved for the next lecture.

General Codrington is anxious that English officers should be informed thoroughly of the tacti cal means adopted of moving troops to attack in presence of an enemy, and he suggests to the news papers the expediency of their devoting some of their space to an elucidation from skilled writers in the matter. The gallant general is aware that English officers have been sent by the Government to watch the Prussian and French armies in the field, but be complains that the experience they gain will be sealed against the profession generally. Tim news papers have correspondents well accustomed to see and describe the manoeuvres of the hostile forces, and in a military point of view know ledge as to the manner in which all the Prussian successes and some of the French successes have been gained, would be highly advantageous to England. One point of grave importance might be decided in this wise, namely, has manoeuvring in times of peace, in the tactical arrangements as to skirmishers as wall as to columns of companies, battalions and brigades, been attended with the beneficial consequences in time of war that are said to result from it, especially in the German plans of strategy. AID TO THE SICK AND WOUNDED. Colonel Lloyd-Lindsay has received some interest ing letters in connection with the aid distributed to the sick and wounded. Colonel Wyatt writes from Paris to say that the result of the arrangements made by the committee appointed by the Minister of War for the distribution of the English offerings has been the exper.diture of £13,467. fie hopes that the British donors will remember the difference that exists in national tastes, and not question too closely the necessity for some of the articles which will appear in the lists. He feels quite certain that after the termination of the war a second conference of the Geneva Convention style will be come necessary, because there have been many abuses of the flag of the Interna tional Society. No proper military ambu lance has as yet been constructed for the removal of the sick and wounded by railway ; the best is that displayed by the ingenious Americans, but that is far from perfect. Colonel Elphinstone writes from Tours, and says that the German hospital at Orleans is one of the largest in France, but no special arrangements have been made for the wounded. He accordingly !despatched a supply of necessaries. There, as everywhere in France, the Sisters of Charity were devoted in their attendance on the wounded. The Anglo-Amorioan Ambulance seemed superior to anything he had seen in France ; the surgeons never left their patients night or day. The Frenchmen seemed confident of victory, and were anxious to rejoin from hospital before they were fit to go. The authorities expressed great gratitude to the society. DEATHS FROM DRINKING MILK. The startling discovery has been made in 'sling_ ton that upwards of seventy families have suffered disease and death traceable to a milk pail. In July last typhoid fever broke out in Islington. Thirty deaths occurred, and efforts were made to discover the sources of the fatality. It was noticed that people who drank the milk supplied by a certain dairy suffered the most, and an investigation shewed that there was an underground water cistern, and the rats had made a communication between it and the sewer. Sewer poison consequently got into the water, and the men employed at the dairy say they were accustomed to washing the cans with the cistern water, but strongly deny diluting the milk with it, The coestion suggests itself how many dairies are provided with similar cisterns. Tim FIGHTING GROUND FOR FRANCE. Wo aro told, on the authority of a, military con temporary, that the true base of French operations is now in the South, nevertheless much may be done in the East before the great catastrophe of Paris may be apprehended to be imminent. The pitiable want of concentration about the French Forces may result in a series of failures, if any single-handed attempts like those made by Ricciotti Garibaldi, to force the Prussian lines in the East, are repeated. The Germans, on the other hand, have a terribly long line from Paris to Strasburg to defend, and this line has already given evidence of its own weakness, in the poor defence made at Chatillon. It is prolable, therefore, that operations undertaken to interrupt German communication between Stras burg and the capital would be found most embarras sing to Count Moltke, and if, meantime, the Army of Lyons, of which little has been heard lately, should be enabled to effect any substantial junction with Garibaldi, and General Werder could by a strong effort be dislodged, the German scheme of further humiliating France at an early date might be seriously interrupted. PROFESSOR GUTHRIE ON HEAT. Professor Guthrie is one of the lecturers upon 'scientific subjects at the Kensington Museum which are treated 0t as. . part of the course of scientific instruction for women, Which the ladies of the present day have so much cause to congratulate themselves upon. At the beginning of these lectures the professor spoke of the capacity of heat in different substances, and he has now .proceeded to demonstrate, by means of some highly • interesting experiments, the different capabilities of melting in different substances. in illustration of the manner in whit% the specific heat of metals is ascertainel, the professor performed at his last lecture some expert- snouts v..ith iron and water, putting into OBLIGATIONS OF THE TREATY OF PARIS. The North German • Correspondent throws some light upon the subject of the Treaty of Paris, and explains the difference which exists between the obligations which have been undertak©n by England, France, and Austria, and those of the other powers that signed the peace of Paris. The Cabinets of London, Vienna, and Paris undertook further obli gations than the representatives of the other Euro pean nations. Article I. was signed by all the Powers, and guaranteed the independence and in tegrity of the Turkish Empire. Besides this, Article 11. considered the violation of any,stipulation of the Treaty of Paris as a casus belli. The difference between the Treaty signed on the 30th of March 1856, and the Treaty signed on the 15th April 1856, is obvious. Italy, Prussia, and Russia have not, like the other Powers, guaranteed the neutralisation of the Black Sea. The North German Correspondent declares that Italy and Prussia, therefore, occupy the same posi tion with respect to the Peace of Paris of the 30th March 1856 which is taken up by any Power that signs a collective treaty. They are not affected by the question as to whether the steps taken by Russia to put an end to the neutrality of the Black Sea form a casus belli or not, because neither the independence of the Porte nor the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, for which they are responsible, is threatened by the recent movement of the Russian Govern ment. COMMERCIAL DIFFICULTIES IN FLIANCE. The great commercial towns of France, such as Marseilles, Bordeaux, Rouen, Havre, and Lille, com plain loudly of the decrees of the Government of Defence as to the payment of commercial bills. These complaints are very various. Some merchants contend that the Ministry should have left matters to take their own course ; others that the term of delay once fixed should have been rigorously ob served. Some think that it would have been best to fix a given term after the conclusion of the war for the settlenient of all such claims, and a very largo party complain, not unreasonably, that whatever was decided on should have been expresied in plain and unmistakeable terms, so that no uncer tainty in the interpretation was possible. The Amiens Chamber of Commerce has addressed an energetic remonstrance to the Tours Ministers, com plaining of the vague and inconsistent nature of the decrees, and declaring that all legal proceedings about bills ought to be suspended until a month after the cessation of hostilities. The financial situation, says the Chamber, grows worse every day, and each postponement of bills increases the evil. It legal proceedings on dishonoured bills be authorised before the end of the war, the consequences will be incalculable. The Chamber of Commerce at Rouen, also a manufacturing town, strange to say, favours a totally different course, and objects strongly to any delay. It is only too easy to believe that the commercial classes all through France are terribly embarrassed by the war, and the uncertainty as to what may be understood by the term " invaded department" increases instead. of lightening their burden. The Government in any case would do wisely to make their intentions unmistakeably clear to the whole commercial world if they wish to avoid unnecessary difficulties of a serious kind. SILK CULTURE IN ITALY. The Italian papers state that scarcely had the silkworms been seized with the serious epidemic which threatened before long. to exterminate the race of silkworms than steps were taken to procure seeds from other nations, and those from Japan were defi nitively fixed upon, as they succeeded better than those of any other country. This diminished the evil in some measure, but notwithstanding this, Italy is far from enjoying her usual profits from the silk industry. The disease among the silkworms lost her two-thirds of the ordinary profits, and the importation of Japanese silk does not make up half the usual figure. The Chamber of Commerce in Milan has made au inquiry into the state of the silk products before and after the appearange of the disease. It appears from the calculation of the Chamber that the year before the disease there were produced three million four hundred and sixty thousand kilo grammes of silk, the year of the disease two million, one hundred and eight thousand ; and in the year 1869, six years afterwards, one million, nine hundred and eighty thousand. The quantity of cocoons which contained silk before the disease were at the rate of from ten to fourteen kilogrammes of cocoons to one of silk, and now they are at the rate of from fourteen to eighteen, so that while preyicus to the disease there were prodnced more than forty million kilogrammes of cocoons, in 1869 there were little more than thirty one millions. These computations show the extent of the economical loss which the country has sustained through the partial failure of this branch of industry, PaopEsson. NEWMAN ON THE TREATY OF 1856. Professor Newman considers, notwithstanding all the discussions on the much-vexed Eastern Ques tion, that the real point of the Russian Treaty has not been reaehed. Russia accepted it to get rid of the war, and cannot disown it without establishing a principle which justifies every victorious enemy in implacable distrust, The allies compelled her to take the pledge, but Professor Newman holds that thereby our work was done, and we did not engage to make her keep it. If Russia breaks the pledge we have a right of war against her, but, if we think it inexpedient to use that right, we are under no bond to make war, nor are any of the allies under bond to us. Tracing the history of the Russian war, Professor Newman says it is the only war in his memory (which goes back to the reign of George III.), which has been a war urged on by the English people. They had taken alarm at the conspiracy between the Emperors of Austria and Russia to crush Hungarian freedom, but Lords Aberdeen end Clarendon were more anxious to save Austria from Hungarian insurrection than to conquer for Turkey. Still the Professor holds that the war bore fruit in 1859-60, since without it the freedom of Italy could not have been effected, while the freedom of the Russian serfs; the conces sions of kistria to Hungary, and the union of Ger many, were all indirectly due to it. The popular instinct which forced on the Russian war was sonnd -and wise, but the English public will not now endure another war of ..the kind. Austria is now united to Hungary, Germany can defend herself ; and Germany and Austria are a sufficient barrier against Russia. Again, the English people wanted the Crimean war to be final, but Poland was not set tip, and now can not be. If we had another war, what could result from it ? Should we take the word of Russia again ? That would be imbeeile. Should we take from her the coasts of the Black Sea ? That would be impossible. To conquer Russia would, says Professor Newman, be more embarrassing to us than to be beaten. SATALL-PDX IN LONDON. The Metropolitan lioarda of Guardians experience HER MAJES.TY. WINDSOV.

THE PRINCESS LOUISE.—A. writer in the Landon Figaro says : I am sorry to say the health of the Princess Louise is so bad, that no less than four medical gentlemen accompanied her Royal Highness from Scotland to Windsor Castle. THE ROYAL VISIT TO BLENHEIM.—It has been resolved by the inhabitants of Woodstock at a public meeting that an address shall be presented to the Prince and Princess of Wale' on the occasion of their visit to Blenheim on the 6th proximo, and that triumphal arches shall be erected hi the various parts of the town through which their Royal Highness are expected to pass.

The temporary hospital at Hampstead is to be opened for the recep tion of persons labouring under this disease, and the managers of the Metropolitan Asylum District hope soon to be in a position to receive female cases and children of both sexes on the Ist December, and male case son the following Monday. As, however, the entire hospital can only provide space for 120 beds, and as it is knoWn that at• the present moment more than 200 persons in London suffering from small-pox have been unable to obtain admission. to the Small pox Hospital at Highgate, an appeal is made to other parishes to follow the example of Marylebone, and provide accommodation for themselves. At Hamp stead the same Sisterhood which performed a similar , duty during the epidemic of relapsing fever has \ nobly undertaken the nursing arrangements. Their chief difficulty at present is to obtain a sufficiently strong staff of competent nurses. A fair remunera tion for respectable women who will act as nurses is offered.. THE MINTS OF EUROPE. Mr. Freemantle, the Deputy Master of the Mint, has just made an interesting report on the manage ment and working of the principal Mints in Europe. Mr. Freemantle himself, Mr. Roberts (the chemist of the Mint), and Mr. Napier conducted the inquiry, and fours I there was no such superiority 'in the standard of fineness for gold coin in use in other countries as to call for an alteration of our own standard, which is 11-12ths of gold and 1-12th of copper. The French standard is 9-10ths gold and 1-10th copper and is adopted by Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy, who joined the Monetary Convention of 1865, and by the United States, Spain, Greece, and Holland. It is a hard and durable alloy, and amounts to 90 per cent. gold. The English standard, which is 91.60, is in use in Russia, Turkey, Portugal, and Brazil. There are other varieties in the standards of certain foreign coins, such as the Austrian reichs ducaten, and some Swedish, Danish, and Egyptian pieces. The inquirers think there would be no ob jection to the uniform adoption of the French standard. Considerable allowance for loss is made in all mints, and the waste in the English mint is not considered excessive. At the same time it is thought that the latter may be reduced by some new regulations. The processes of anneal ing and blanching in foreign countries have been carefully studied, and Mr. Roberts, the chemist, thinks the process of blanching may, as far as gold c*,in is concerned, be discontinued, without detri ment to its appearance. It is this process that leads to the deterioration of gold coin which has been long in circulation, and, consequently, it will be an advan tage to dispense with it. The silver standard in England is 92.50 per cent. of silver, the remedy of fineness 4 per mills. In most continental countries it is 90 per cent. and the remedy 2 per mille. The bronze coins in England, as elsewhere, contain 05 per cent, copper, 4 per cent. tin, and 1 per cent. of zinc. THE PRUSSIAN POLICY TOWARDS FRANCE. The Address from the Throne on the occasion of tho re-opening of the North German Parliament has occasioned considerable pain to those who have hitherto given their undivided sympathy to Prussia in the 'present Continental struggle. The bold frank ness with which the King declares that above all things a new frontier is necessary has unmistakeably revealed the real intentions of his Majesty and his astute advisers, and henceforth there caii be no doubt as to his real designs in prolonging the war. The speech breathes a spirit of uncompromising aggres sion, instead of a desire to behave with moderation and temperance in the hour of victory. Increase of appetite seems to grow by what it feeds on. A SHAMEFUL CASE OF IMPOSITION. Edward Leake, who described himself as a chemist has been committed by Mr. Knox, a London magis trate, to three months' imprisonment for obtaining a charitable contribution by false pretences. The prisoner for some years past has, it was alleged, managed to subsist, and to keep his family by . a system of impo sition. A. detective officer told the magistrate that the accused had confessed that he had succeeded in ob taining during his career as a begging impostor hun dreds of pounds. In the present instance he had repre sented himself to Dr. Hawkesley as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and that he had been educated at Guy's Hospital. He assured the dotter that he .was in a deplorable condition of distress. Temporary relief to the extent of as. 6J. was afforded him, but on inquiries being made his whole story was found to be untrue. He had been sent to the doctor by the Committee for Organising Charitable Relief and Repressing Mendicity which through its relieving officer had assisted him. The prisoner, who persisted during his trial in conducting himself as if he were paralysed, entered into a history of his life. It was, however, proved: that he was simply acting a part, ho having counterfeited a similar. affliction before. Such swindlers as Edward Leake too often causo the benevolently-disposed to listen with an unsoftening heart to genuine cases of misfortune. tc-A"11` GU rt tint 1 ‘• ( fi SUM PROFESSOR HUXLEY ON RELIGIOUS INSTRUC I'ION. The editor of the Contemporary Review has sent to the Pall Mall Gazette an extract from an article by Professor Huxley, which is to appear in the next number of the Review. He says he wishes it published in the hope of hindering the object of ,those misrepresentations ° f Professor Huxley's views which he himself is no; likely to care to contradict, and whi ch are industriously made by bigoted persons who would leave no stone unturned to discredit London by omitting him from the Board. The • extract is 59 follows :—" We are divided into two parties—the advo,- cates of so-called ' religious' teaching on the one baud , and those of so-called ' secular ' teaching on the other- And both parties seem to me to be not only hopelesslY, wrong, but in such a position that if either succeed ed completely, it would discover before many years were ove r that it had made a great mistake and done serious evil to the cause of education. For, leaving- aside the more fa,r; 'seeing minority on each side, what the ' religious party is crying for is mere theology, under the name of relig,1 0 „ 11 ; while the ' Secularists ' have unwisely and wrongfully admitted the assumption of their opponents, and dema nd the "abolition. of all `religious' teaching, when they only want to be free of theology.—Burninge your ship -to get rid of the cockroaches ! Now, my belie', is, that no human being, and no society composed c' l human beings, ever did, or ever will, come to mu ch unless their conduct was governed and guided hY the love of some ethical ideal. Undoubtedly your gutter child may be converted by mere intellectual drill int ° ' the subtlest of all the beasts of the field ;" but we lo s ,l what has become of the original of that description, 311 there is no need to increase the number of those W imitate him successfully without being aided by W e rates. And if I was compelled to choose for one of children between a school in which real religious instruc tion is given, and one without it, I should prefer the former, even though the child might have t° take a good deal of theology with it. Nine-tenths of 5 dose of bark is mere half-rotten wood ; but one swallow! it for the sake of the particles of quinine, the beneficial effect of which may be weakened, but not destroyed, ex cept in a few cases of exceptionally tender stomach s- Hence, when the great mass of the English people declare that they want to have the children In the elementary schools taught the Bible, and when it is plain from the terms of the Act, the debates in and out or Parliament, and especially the emphatic declaration °f the Vice-President of the Council, that it was intended that such Bible reading should be permitted unless good cause for prohibiting it could be shewn, I do not see what reason there is for opposing that wis h ' Certainly, I, individually, could with no shadow' of consistency oppose the teaching of the children °I other people to do that which my own children are taugh t to do. And if the reading the Bible were not, as I think it is, consonant with political reason and justice, and with a desire to act in the spirit of the education measure, lanl disposed to think that it might be well still to read that Book in the elementary school, I have always been strongly favour of secular education, in the sense of education without theology ;_ but I must confess I have been no les s strongly perplexed to know by what practical measures the religious feeling, which is the essential basis of con• duct, was to be kept up, in the present utterly chaotic state of opinion on these matters, without the use of the Bible.'? REPORTED ILLNESS OF SIR R. MURCHISON. It will be a source of regret to many naval officers 3 0 others when we inform them that the respected Presiden t of the Royal Geographical Society, Sir Roderick Murchi son, Bart., is at present lying hopelessly ill. —Army an a Navy Gazette. THE MACKONOCHIE CASE. Mr. Mackonochie, the Spectator says, tried to drag' a distinction between elevating the bread and elevating the paten which contained it—one of those quibbles of which we wonder that our High Church party are not, from religious point of view, ashamed. The one mischief, as It seems to us, amidst many advantages, of a legal interprets• tion of the formulm and ritual of the Church, is the organised attempt of the clergy to connect the use of non-natura l meanings with religious words. Mr. Mackonochie is a good as well as an able and devout man. Is he sure that he does not do as much harm by setting the example of a quibbling interpretation of sacred words, as he can do good by the illegitimate meaning he teaches his disciples to import into them? If we set ourselves to over-reach the law in our devotions, is it not very likely to come to over-reaching ourselves, and trying to over-reach God ? TIIE TROOPS FROM AUSTRALIA. REPORTED WRECK OF THE TROOPSHIP. A report reaches us from what we believe to be reliable sources that the sailing ship Silver Eagle, having on board the head-quarters and right wing of the 2nd battalion 18th Royal Irish, has been wrecked off Cape Horn, while on voyage to England from Australia. We are pleased to learn that no lives were lost, though none of the baggage of the troops was saved--United Service Gazelle. ACCIDENT TO THE IRISH MAIL. The up Irish mail, due at Euston at 6.45 a.m. on Sattll - morning, on emerging from the Watford tunnel at 6.15 a.m., unfortunately came into collision with a train of empty cattle trucks, which, owing to the carelessness of the breaksman of the latter train, was being shunted across the main line metals, instead of into its proper siding. The slight resistance of to the mail train by the empty trucks happily prevented the passengers from suffering any injury, but the mail engine was thrown across the metals, and the traffic was thus interrupted during three or four hours. All the passengers and the mails were brought on by special train ; and only one of their number—Mr. Dodds, of Mark-lane and Old Kent-road—made any complaints this gentleman stating that his wrist had been injured. THE "LONDON MARO." We have to welcome another metropolitan halfpenny journal into the field of literature, and we do so with additional heartiness as we have reason to know that the newspaper in question has been inaugurated in its cheaper form as one on which no pains have been spared to make it acceptable to a large portion of the public. Gentlemen of ability and experience have been engaged upon the regular editorial staff. Extra facilities for the receept of intelligence of eve,ry character have been arranged for, and several distinguished occasional writers—who may be expected to contribute to the satirical columns of the journal have been treated with for articles and informs tion. The Figaro, in its new form, is a single sheet paper, and one of its most interesting features on its first appearance is an epitome of London gossip, by "A Lounger," two extracts from which we now take the liberty of quoting 1— " A dowager duchess, the widow of a dig' tinguished ex-Cabinet Minister, who separated from her husband some time before his death, and whose chil dren have figured somewhat prominently of late days before the public), has recently associated herself in marriage with the proprietor of a small restau rant at Nice. They are stated to be living together so happily that the aunior members of the family are about to favour them with a prolonged visit. London society, therefore, may be expected to be deprived of their presence for several weeks." " Mr. Alfred B. Richards, barrister, who has been for many years an able contributor of political articles to some of the leading daily journals, and who has rendered great service to the volunteer movement by the formation of the working men's corps, of which for some time he was colonel, has been selected as editor of the Morning Advertiser. There were 110 candidates, including men of all ranks, from an envoy to an electioneering agent, and the committee first reduced the number to 11. At their last meeting, however, Mr. Richards' claims were so paramount that he went in and won in a canter. The outgoing editor, Mr. Grant, who retires on the 7th of December, it to have a sub stantial testimonial, originated by the bankers and merchants of the city of London ; and, al: though at present this movement may be said to be in embryo, I hear that no less a sun 3 than £l,OOO has been subscribed, Mr. Richards appointment shews that the Committee and the Past Governors of the Licensed Victuallers' Association (with whom the selection lay) have an eye to business, and intend to make the Morning Advertiser take a foremost rank in journalism. Mr. Walter Woods, by far the most energetic member of the staff of the Morning Standard, ran second for the appointment; and an unobstrusive Scotch campaigner forced himself into the third place. Mr. Henry Mayhew's claims were fully admitted by the Committee ; and, had that gentleman had youth on as side, Mr. Richards would have found him a dangerous competitor." THE IRISH CENSUS,—We understand that William Donnelly, C,8., (the Registrar-General), Sir William Wilde, and George W. Abraham, have been appointed commissioners for taking the census in Ireland. The Rock understands that the new Bishop of the Orange River Free State, in Africa, will be the Be' , Allan B. Webb, of Corpus Christi College, Oxon, Rector of Avon Dassett, near Leamington, and formerly vice principal (under Bishop Wilberforce) of Cuddesded Theolocrical College. The new Bishop will be consecrate d on Wednesday next, at Inverness, in Scotland, in order to avoid the complications which arise from the opera tion of what is known as the " Jerusalem Act," which. only applies to England. This course has been notifi ed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who raised no objection to it, though he gave certain cautions in the matter.
