The Duke of Richmond, Chancellor of the Univer sity of Aberdeen, has given his casting vote in favour of Sir William Stirling Maxwell as Lord Rector. The election for this office was very keenly contested between Sir William and Mr. Grant Duff, who has been Rector for the last three years. The equal division of the four nations left the decision to the Lord Chancellor, and as Mr. Grant Duff had the greatest number of individual votes, his opponent generously wrote to the Duke of Richmond request ing him to give his award on the side of the majority. The Chancellor, however, has decided otherwise. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1870. N°. 24,216 PRICE , 4d STAMPED, bd. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

Windsor Castle may be visited on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fri days, by tickets obtainablp Id the Levi Glainberlain Office, in:tho Mr. Bright on Wednesday was " interviewed" by one or two deputations, whose proceedings were not fully made public. One of these had for their object a change in the law as to the rating of charities. The memorial presented to the right hon. gentleman professed to prove the injustice of ratin ,, benevolent institutions—of taxing schools which tend to check improvidence and crime, or hospitals which keep sick persons off the poor rate. Whether this was or was not demonstrated, the deptitation did succeed in proving that the law as to charities was in a deep muddle. Either, said they, exempt all or none. For "if it be right tJ make schools and charities pay parochial rates, why should they pay in England and not in Ireland ? Why should they pay the borough rate, which is fre quently collected together with and by means of the 'poor's rate, and be exempt from other municipal rates? Why should a church or chapel be exempt, or a school held in the vestry of a church or chapel z whilst a school, although immediately adjoining-, is rateable because under a separate roof ? Why should a Ragged School be exempt, and a school which is obliged to require school fees from some of the pupils, both because the school could not exist without such fees, and because it is better for the parents to pay something towards their children's education, be made to pay rates? " Mr. Bright confessed he was " much struck " by the statement ; but apparently he has no strong opinien of his own. r'He asked whether it would not be well to give power to overseers to exempt—certain institu tions. The deputation replied that the general feel ing was against the rating of charities altogether. Mr. Bright then declared he thought the feeling of the House of Commons was also in favour of the abolition of such rates. He advised the deputation to lay their case before Mr. Gladstone. The Premier, it may be added, introduced a bill some years ago making the revenue of charities subject to income tax. RATING GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. The Times discredits the rumour which prevails at Chatham to the effect that the Government intend endeavouring to make the State property rateable: The report has, according to our contemporary, arisen from the speech of Sir Charles Dilke, - at !Chelsea; the other day. t- The hon. baronet stated his belief that the Government were going to introduce a bill next session. Our contemporary, however; endorses our remarks on the matter, that the policy would be a real good to Chatham and other districts containing. Government works. " Chatham receives an annual grant from Parliament towards the poor.; rates; but if all the property of the State at Chat ham were subject to local rates, a much greater pay ment would have to be made from the Imperial exchequer. The people of Chatham, Rochester, and Gillingham can but wish that the rumours are well founded." 3 ,64 LORD MALMESBITRY ON THE MALT TAX. Lord Malmesbury was present at the annual dinner of the Vales of Avon and Stour Farmers' Club, and responded to the toast of "The House of Lords and the House of Commons." The malt tax having been alluded to, the noble lord said that the House of Lords had nothing to do with the taxation of the country, except that the members had the not very agreeable duty of paying the tax alluded to. The great difficulty with respect to all the taxation of the country was the N or 27 millions of national debt interest, which they were in honour bound to pay: It was, therefore, no joke to talk about cutting off the malt tax, which, he believed, produced about six mil lions a year. He was far from saying that the malt tax ought not to be reduced, and was quite ready to agree that it was contrary to the principles of Free Trade ; but he warned them that part of the amount; at least, must be found somewhere, and therefore it must not rashly be asserted that the entire abolition of the malt tax would be a piece of political wisdom. Speaking on the subject of education, the noble lord said he was sure the result of a very long investigation would be an opinion that the edu cation of the people of this country ought not to be entirely carried on - without religion. He felt that so strongly that he considered the doom of this country would be fixed, and its fate settled in disturbance, revolution, and confusion, if all classes of the people ohould be deprived of their greatest mtitgutull iii I.IIQ world—a dependence upon Almighty God. CONSERVATISM IN SOUTH YORKSHIRE. A. large gathering of local gentlemen and working men assembled at the inaugural dinner of the Don caster Conservative Working Men's Association, on Wednesday evening. Lord Galway, M.P., Mr. Wheelhouse, M.P., and Mr. Stanhope and Mr. Starkey, the unsuccessful candidates at the last contest for the Southern Division of the West Biding, were amongst those present. Lord Galway satirically congratulated the Government on its great success in muzzling Mr. Bright. He con sidered the Conservative party as the only one great party in the House of Commons, the other being a scratch pack under the dictation of one man. Mr. Wheelhouse condemned the Free Trade set up by the _Rochdale School as no Free Trade at all, but an unfair bargain in favour of the foreigner. Mr. Turner, a working man, made a very good speech on general politics ; and Mr. Neill, another working man, condemned the colonial policy of the Govern ment. The Chairman, Mr. Rowland Winn, said that there were now twenty-three such associations as that of Doncaster in the southern division of West Yorkshire alone, in addition to thirteen ward associations in the Sheffield and eleven in the Huddersfield districts. - LEEDS LIBERALISM. The Liberal members for Leeds, Mr. Edward Baines and Mr. Alderman Carter, have addressed a crowded and enthusiastic assemblage of their con stituents. Mr. Baines reviewed the financial improve ment of the country since the accession to office of Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Baines then touched upon the Irish Church question. After alluding to some other subjects, he touched upon that of education. Ho ex pressed his approval of the maintenance of existing schools; the equal and impartial encouragement of education by State aid to all schools, religious or secular ; the combination of schooling with industry, and the provision of education for all children who, by poverty or neglect, might need it. Mr. Carter, having addressed the meeting and expressed similar views, a series of questions by an elector was answered by the two candidates to the effect that they thought the Irish Church Bill would be a blessing to Ireland, and that if Mr. Gladstone should bring in a bill to disendow the State ahurch in Eng land they would vote for it NOMINATION DAY IN mEmorrznisnms. The speeches at the Merionethshire nomination call for little notice. Mr. Holland, the Liberal candidate, spoke chiefly on local topics, and. Lieutenant-Colonel Tottenham, the Consery a tive, was much interrupted. The former expressed himself in favour of a scheme of national education, the equalisation of poor rates, and the rating of mines and plantations to the poor. He be lieves that the work of the Welsh Church could be better performed without State connection, but holds that the Establishments in both England and Wales should be dealt with at the same time. Lieutenant-Colonel Tottenham declared himself directly opposed to the Ballot, believing it to be both un-English and unmanly that men should be called upon to vote under a cloak. He was in favour of a scheme of national education, but thought that religious teaching should be introduced. The talk about "voting under a cloak" seems to have fallen rather flat in a county where the memory of political evictions is yet fresh. The men of Merioneth re ceived the Conservative candidate with great dis favour. TILE PEERS AND TILE LAM , . Lord Portsmouth has added his name to the requi sition for a conference on the land question, to be held in Dublin before the meeting of Parliament. Lord Monck, however, resolves to have no dealings with the present agitation, but decides to discuss the rights of his tenants in Parliament. Ile was asked to attend a demonstration at Wicklow, but declines. Twenty years ago he expressed the following opinion of the land question :—"I think the land in its natural condition is rightly the property of the landlord, and I think any additional value which the tenant has given to the land by the expenditure of his capital or the application of his labour is, in point of equity, his property, and ought to be vested in him by law." This view he still retains as the spring of his conduct as a landowner and his policy as a legislator. THE GAME LAWS Mr. Abel Smith, M.P. for Hertfordshire, has issued a notice to his tenantry, giving them permission to course hares, with their own dogs, in the months of November, December, and January. The tenant is at liberty to destroy rabbits, by ferreting with nets upon the wood-banks, from October to March inclu sive. A competent person must be employed, the landlord's sport must not be interfered with, and each tenant must confine his operations to the wood-banks adjoining his own occupation.

The Tines says it is understood that the Bank of England, with a view to public convenience, are willing to make advances, in anticipa tion of the dis tribudon of thfUnonevicatinSion"-tfitraUMaiim THE CHURCH IN JAMAICA. The advices from Jamaica bring some news of the separation of Church and State in that island. At one. of the sittings of the Legislative Council last month,the President announced that he had received instructions from the Colonial Secretary to disesta blish and disendoW the Church in Jamaica, having due regard to the rights of present incumbents. An impression, he said, had gone abroad that there would be concurrent endowment, but the only reason for such a statement was the fact that he (the President) had thought that in some parts of the island there was no religion, and to remedy this he considered that concurrent endowment might be adopted. This, however, was not approved, but total disestablishment and disen dowruent was decided on. The Bishop of Kingston has issued a circular, calling a convocation of the clergy and laity for the purpose of reorganising the Church. • The first sitting was to have been held yesterday. A BISHOP FOIL MADAGASCAR. The announcement of the appointment of a bishop for Madagascar has much offended the Congrega tionalists. The work in that island has hitherto been essentially and entirely their work. •To the opera tions of the London Missionary Society the whole reformation which has been accomplished is due. And now they have laboured other men seek to enter into their labours; they who have borne the heat of the battle are to be supplanted at its close by those who held aloof while the strife was raging. Naturally they are indig nalit. And not altogether selfishly. They urge that any sign of a division of Christianity will have the worst effect upon the heathen natives. Moreover, the missionary bishop chosen holds the views the most opposed to the " pure simplicity" which they boast in: he is a Ritualist ; they con demn all but the most simple ceremony. No Episco pal Church exists,. why should an attempt be made to found one ? Of course we all love Christianity before Episcopacy or other forms of Church govern ment. The simple question is whether the appoint ment of Mr. Willis would have a good-or a bad effect upon the progress of Christianity. Those who have sent out the rev. gentleman do not anticipate a bad one. AMALGAMATED ASSURANCE COMPANIES. Vice-Chancellor James's famous decision as to the liability of incorporated assurance companies has been affirmed. The case arose out of an application by General Potts to compel the shareholders of the Family Endowment Society to pay his annuity. The defence was that the company in question had been handed over to the Albert Assurance Office, and that its liabilities had gone with it. But Vice-Chancellor James decided that this could not be ; the Endowment had made a bargain with General Potts, and they had no right to transfer their obligations to any third party. This decision has been confirmed, on appeal, by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Justice Giflard, and the result is that the Endowment must still discharge its liabi lities, and so, it isto be presumed, must other societies of the kind. THE WORSTED TRADE AND THE FRENCH TREATY. The Bradford Chamber of Commerce has met for the purpose of considering the present position of the French Treaty, and the measures expedient to be adopted in the interest of the worsted trade. The question was discussed at great length, and the opinion of the meeting was strongly in favour of the maintenance of a free-trade policy. A. lengthy memorial was read, showing that as regarded the worsted trade the treaty had been more favour able to France than to England; that the effect of the existing tariff had been injurious to the industry of both countries i and that a thorough revision Of the treaty tariff in a liberal spirit was necessary. The memorial further points to the rapid growth and prosperity of Roubaix, the district in which the worsted trade is chiefly centred, as that of England is in the neighbourhood of Brad ford, sheaving that it has benefited from the removal of the old prohibitive system. The manufacturers, there, had conformed to the altered conditions of trade, and instead of having a sale only in French IllarliOtS now extended their operations to all parts of the world. Statistics are given in proof of the disadvantages under which the manufacturers of Bradford labour in consequences of an onerous tariff. THE LATEST FATAL TIFF. It seems needless to enquire into the cause of the loss of life through the fire at the famous Star and Garter Hotel, Richmond. In these cases the cause may almost always be taken for granted. There were no appliances wherewith to save an endangered per son, and accordingly the manager was killed. When it was known that he and another man were in the burning house, of course the most frantic efforts were made to find some means of escape, and of course nothing more effective than a short ladder was forthcoming. Need less to . add that, whilst some good people were fumbling to get the clerk out with the help of this wretched ladder they observed Lever (the manager) suddenly disappear—to perish. More excellencies of management transpire. The new hotel (it was the old one that was destroyed) has a roof tank capable of holding 80,000 gallons. When the fire took place it was empty and useless. There is an association in the neighbourhood called the Southwark and Vauxhall water Company, which professes to supply Richmond with water. On the night of the fire there was no water, and a man had to ride five miles to the reservoir to beg the company to put on a little pressure. The officials set to work with zeal, and got on pressure nicely by the time the hotel was burned to the ground. Lastly, to shew the interest which directors exhibit in the affairs of their share holders, not a single director of the Hotel Company had visited the spot up to late on Wednesday evening, though the fire commenced just after midnight on Tuesday, and early telegrams were sent to Loudon. ECONOMY IN WORKHOUSES. Tho guardians of Preston are in a difficulty. Their Union is about the same size as that of Blackburn, and yet their liabilities and expenses are much greater. The Preston Union has 1,000 inmates, that of Black burn only 600 ; the former has 140 lunatics charged to it, the latter only 42. Nevertheless the two are in much the Fame circum stances. Last year the common charges for Blackburn were £12,000, whilst for Preston they were £16,000. One ex-officio guardian holds that this difference solely arises from tip good manage ment at one place and the bad management at the other. Only last week more persons were relieved in the Blackburn than in the Preston Union for £OO less. This guardian thinks that Vi,ooo a year might be saved by judicious administration. The board means to make an inquiry, and no doubt they will find that much just economy in poor-law ad ministration is possible without resorting to the ex pedient of killing off paupers. But it is unfortunately too true that certain unions " save " by severity. A TELEGRAPHIC FEAT. Almost the last feat of the present providers of tele graphic reports has been done. By Mr. Bright's speech they have won another triumph of telegraphy. In that address there were 0,770 words, and in the entire report of the proceedings 9,006 words, or 4t columns. The con'iuding portion was transmitted to London before 120) a.m. Owing to a very general impres sion that Mr. Bright would impart some information as to the qovornment's intentions with regard to the Irish Land Question, the applications for telegraphic reports wore unusually numerous, and the total quantity transmitted in various directions from Bir mingham by the wires of the three telegraph com panies amounted to 43 columns. , THE PETITION OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIANS. A. nation which is constantly subject to swindles through public petitions may justly demand to know who signed the address to President Grant in favour of annexing British Columbia to the United States. The Pall Mall Gazette is sceptical. It says the petition was probably got up by a section of American politiciane, The Alabama question is getting stale. The Americans are tired of hearing of about it, and, what is much more strange, the New York papers seem to grow weary of writing about it. To associate this grievance with the acquisition of British territory would be a fine stroke of policy. If the inhabitants of the colony really de sired annexation, they would have sent their petition to the British Parliament, not to a foreign Govern ment. LADVERTISEMENT.
