Notwithstanding the heat, the House of Commons was in its liveliest mood yesterday evening. The seats on both sides were tilled, and as every member held in his hands the orders of the day, the effect of the dark forms speckled with white was somewhat curious. The list of questions was longer than we have had for many a day. There was only one of very great interest. It was Lord Robert Montagu who asked if the Government would not hold morning sittings in order to get through the Education Bill It is not usual for the Opposition to shew any great eagerness for working double tide. As a rule, the Opposition does not like the mea sures which the Ministry bring forward : and even if it does not dislike them, it has no desire to see the Government win more laurels in the work of legislation than can be helped. But the Conservatives know perfectly well that the Education Bill is an exceptional measure, and that every day's delay is against them. Mr. Gladstone, too, thoroughly under stands the position, and wishes to put an end to an unde sirable agitation as soon as possible. So for once the leaders on both sides were agreed, and amid tokens of satis faction from both the front benches, the Premier announced that Lord Robert Montagu- had only fore stalled the Ministerial announcement, and that it was intended to have morning sittings from Friday next, and to push on the bill with all possible speed. Under no circumstances was the announcement likely to give satisfaction to the Radicals. Last evening it only added fuel to the long smouldering fire of their discon tent. This broke out into a flame as soon as the House (at 5 o'clock) went into commit tee on the University Tests Bill. The seats below the right-hand gangway were closely packed, not, as before Whitsuntide, with Irish members ; for Mr. Maguire was, I think, the only one present, but with the very advanced Liberals and the Nonconformists, who even overflowed into the seats above the gangway. It was soon clear that there was to be a revolt on the part of these gentlemen against the Government. Mr. Lewis, M.P. for Devonport, was to have led the attack, but he withdrew from that position and occupied one of less prominence, though he -continued to act with his own party. Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice who, a few nights ago delivered a - very successful maiden speech, was the first to attack the bill. He urged that the aboli tion of tests should extend to the heads of houses, and he set forth his arguments with a good deal of skill, and abun dant fluency, mentioning, by the way, that a meeting had just been held at Balliol College to recommend this course. Mr. Gladstone, with his usual copia fandi, took seven minutes to say that Government wished to consider the matter, and that if the member for Caine would withdraw his motion for the present, he would have another opportunity of bringing it forward. This inti mation drew down the wrath of Sir Michael Hickes Beach, who told the Government that they had no will or policy of their own, but gave themselves up to the guidance of Professor Jowett. Thereupon up rose the Solicitor-General in mild anger, and he suavely repudi ated the charge brought against him by the member for East Gloucestershire. Nevertheless Mr. Mowbray and Lord John Manners reiterated it. Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice was not inclined to quarrel with the Premier on that account, 'and so withdrew his amendment, trusting that in due time the influence of the Regius Professor of Greek would be made manifest on the Treasury Bench. Mr. Stevenson, the member for South Shields, was the next to find fault with the bill. Why did it not allow Dissenters to take degrees in divinity ? Be cause. said Sir John Coleridge, it would be absurd to confer a degree in divinity without laying down some definite form of divinity. Having enlarged upon this theme he was followed by an old gentleman who has not, I think, spoken for some months. At soon as you heard him, there could be no doubt as to who he was. There is only one man in the House who ex asperates his h's so cruelly as this veteran TersiZatTr — did ; and that is Mr.— Hadfield. He spoke alternately in a very low voice and with a shout. It was in his forte, not his Piano, voice that he exclaimed, amid patronising cheers, " I wish thought to be hunfetterred." Then followed a succession of sotto voce sentences which no one could hear, and then words hurled forth in the voice of a Stentor. The effect was exceedingly comic, and members—yes, I grieve to say, Radical and Nonconformist members —lau g hed !heartily at their eccentric colleague. I had no mind to (laugh. It was really quite refreshing, in these days of blasé striplings, with whom "Nought is everything, and everything is nought ;" to find a man of four score and three who can retain the enthusiasm of a youth which really was youthful, and who can still shout for the old battle cry of " civil and reli gious liberty all over the world." It was a pity that Mr. Hadfield did not content himself with this one oration. He rose again and again. The second time he excited a loud roar of laughter by his peroration in which, after denouncing the High Church party, who denied the "particles," and after declaring that it was the Non conformists who really believed them, he asked why these should not be allowed to compete with " your rotten hold professors." The third and the fourth time the hold but not rotten member for Sheffield rose he was greeted with anything but complimentary noises, and if it had not been for the patronising, humouring manner in which middle-aged men treat octogenarians, just as nurses treat their babies, Mr. Hadfield would certainly have been put dewn. The discussion was decidedly warm. Mr. Gladstone asked Mr. Hadfield if he was prepared to fol low out his proposal to its logical result, and to see Arch bishop Manning installed as Regius Professor of Divinity. That prospect seemed to the member for Sheffield so remote that it did not terrify him. Younger Nonconformists, Mr. Miall and Mr. Winter botham, were of a different opinion, and they opposed Mr. Stevenson's amendment. Mr. Mowbray, amid much Conservative cheering, asked the Radicals if they were prepared to reciprocate, would they allow members of the Church of England to present them selves for examination in divinity at the London Univer sity ? Mr. Stevenson, finding that his co-Dissenters did not unanimously support him, said he should withdraw his amendment, but the Secularists, in the person of Mr. Fawcett, interposed, and argued that a divinity examination was not a test of belief, but a test of know ledge, and that he could not consent to the withdrawal. Dr. Lyon-Playfair described what had been done at the Scotch Universities. Sir Roundell Palmer reminded the House that he had proposed without effect to adopt the Scotch system last year. Mr. Osborne Morgan followed up Mr. Fawcet t's argument, and the House cleared for a division. The formality took a long time, for more than 360 members voted, and it was then found that in spite of the union of the Conservatives and the Ministerialists no fewer than 103 members (including tellers) had gone against the Government. Mr. Vernon Harcourt was the next to lead the charge Of the Secularists. " Historicus" is a very large man, with very decided features, and a strong sonorous voice. He is a ready speaker, moreover, and looks just the sort of a man who ought to be sitting on the Treasury bench,where he would become as dear to the House as Mr. Lowe or Mr. Ayrton. Mr. Harcourt is one of those very ad vanced Liberals who have got behind the north wind, who have discovered that the essence of religious tolera tion is, not to treat all religions equally well, but to treat them all equally ill. So he was very bitter against the idea of founding religious colleges in connection with a national university, and Keble College especially was the object of his sarcasm. He saw in the royal charter given to that institution an intimation of what Government intended to do with regard to the Irish Universities. However, finding that he was not likely to get much support in his novel rendering of the word toleration, he said he should not press his amendment, but content him self with moving a clause on bringing up the report, for bidding the Government to grant any charter without having laid it upon the table of the House of Commons thirty days previously. Mr. J. G. Talbot (brother of the warden of Keble College, and who himself looks like a young High Church clergyman), moved the omission of Some words which he said were offensive to clergymen. Sir John Coleridge said that there was no intention to `offend, and that the words might be left out. Thereupon Mr. Winterbotham and Mx. William Fowler protested, Esti ItN• CENTRAL ASSOCIATION FOR STOPPING THE SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS ON SUN DAY. London Auxiliary. .

The meeting of the Nonconformists at St. James's Hall resulted in a very vigorous declaration against religious teaching in rate supported schools. Mr. M'Arthur M.P., was in the chair. He said that if the Bible were introduced into denominational schools some such plan as Mr. Vernon Harcourt's should be adopted to provide against sectarian teaching. Nonconformists would strenuously oppose power being given to local boards to determine the religious character of the schools aided by local rates. All denominational formu laries or catechism should be rigorously excluded, He trusted no Government would attempt to carry a measure against the great and influential body of Nonconformists of the country. School boards should be at once estab lished in every part of the country, and any system of education should be compulsory. The Rev. A. Hannay moved—" That this meeting, while cordially recognising the value of the amendments proposed by Mr. Forster, to be introduced into the Elementary Education Bill, feels compelled to express its conviction that so long as, under its provisions, any classes may be required to pay rates for the teaching of religious tenets, from which they dissent, the Bill cannot have the approval of Nonconformists." It was not true that the opponents of the measure were conspiring against Mr. Forster to hamper him and attack him; their feeling was one of disappointment and surprise, rather than anger ; and so far from factiously opposing the Govern ment, i many had brought themselves to pe rilous conces sions n order to help the Government out of the difficulty in which it had placed itself. He advocated the exclusion of the Bible as a class book from the common schools. He would have every child taught the Bible, - but taught by proper teachers and in proper institutions. —Mr. Illingworth, M.P., seconded the resolution. He agreed with the late Mr. Cobden that the only solution of the education question was to have a non-sectarian system. —Mr. H. Richard, M.P., supported the resolution. The attitude of the Government had compelled many of its best friends to assume a position of friendly antagonism, but that did not imply any disaffection towards the best and noblest Liberal Government which the country had, ever seen. No man had more earnestly sought or taken more pains to obtain, a fair and satis factory solution of the difficulties, confessedly serious and formidable, which beset the question, than the Prime Minister himself. He (Mr. Richard) could not speak in other than the kindest and most respectful terms of Mr. Forster, who was not only an able but honest and 'conscientious man, who, Nonconformists should - nut forget, had given them the Endowed Schools Bill of last year. He warmly appealed to his brother Noncon formists not to betray their principles.—The Rev. A. Mursell supported the motion in an amusing speech, and it was carried unanimously.—Mr. P. W. Clayden moved, " That, considering that a number of denomina tional schools have been called into existence under the minutes of the Privy Council, this meeting does not urge the withdrawal of the grants they at present receive, but deprecates any extension of the denominational system of education at the cost of the State, and heartily approves of the application of the time-table conscience clause to those schools, and of the abolition of all inquiries on the part of the Government inspector into the religious teaching given in them."—Mr. B. Scott seconded the motion, which was carried with a few dissentients.—The Rev. J. G. Rogers moved " That in relation to schools established or aided by local school boards out of the ra tes, this meeting believes that the difficulties of the case may be met by prohibiting the use therein of any religious catechisms or formularies, or the teaching of any thing in opposition to, or in support of, the tenets of any sect—this prohibition not to apply to the use of the Holy Scriptures, but such use, wherever adopted, to be under the regulation of the time table conscience clause, so that the attendance of any child at such Bible lessons shall not be compulsory."—The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon seconded the motion. Nevertheless, he did not sympathise with much of what he had heard. He trusted he should never allow his Nonconformity to outride his Christianity or love for the Bible. He was sorry to differ from what he felt to be the current of the meeting, but his opinion was that Government had better have left education alone. If the Nonconformists of England had been logical they would, instead of allowing Government to touch it, have been more liberal themselves in its support. It was a gross falsehood to say that voluntaryism had failed: The Nonconformists now had made a great concession, but they . had violated their logical position. His conscience required that the Bible should be read in the school where his children were taught, and if the Bible were excluded he would preach defiance of the Government up and down the land. He believed the majority of Nonconformists agre ed with him. The motion having been carried, the meeting separated. Other meetings have been held. At Birmingham the Central Nonconformist Committee have resolved unani mously to support Mr. Richard's motion, to the effect that in the opinion of the committee in any national system of elementary education, the religious teaching should be sup. plied by voluntary effort, and not out of the public funds. the committee' adhere to their resolution passed at the last meeting to support Mr. Winterbotham's amend ment on the seventh clause, providing for the teaching of the Bible without note or comment. A committee of leading Nonconformists has been appointed to remain in London while the Bill is before the House . , for the purpose of watching the progress of the measure in Committee. — At Halifax the supporters of the League have met and passed resolutions affirming that in all schools maintained or aided by local rates, theaching of creeds, catechisms, or tenets peculiar to any sect should be prohibited by the Legislature ; that it was of the utmost importance that the Education Bill should include compulsory provision for securing the attendance of children at school ; and that the admission of children to schools supported or aided by local rates should be free. The assassins of Prince d'Arenberg, bearing the names of Schischkoff and Gribennikoff, have been found guilty and sentenced to fifteen years' hard labour in the mines of Siberia, with perpetual banishment. The court was crowded during the trial, and some disappointment was caused by the criminals giving in at an early stage of the proceedings and confessing everything. THE ABYSSINIAN RECORD.—We are glad to hear that her Majesty's Government intend to send an Eng lish officer with the presentation copies of the official record of the Abyssinian campaign to the different crowned heads of Europe. This is an excellent idea, and does credit to the War Office. One of the greatest results of the Abysinian War was, that it restored our military crttlit in Europe and America ; indeed, probably, had much to do with improving the tone of American feeling towards this country ; and as, moreover, the leading continental Powers sent special commissioners to study o•ir operations in Abyssinia, it is a simple courtesy to them, as well as doing credit to ourselves, to present them, with the greatest formality possible, with copies of this splendid record of a splendid achievement. —Homeward Mail. DEATH FROM lIYDROPHOBIA.—A boy named Thomas Cowan, aged about eight years, son of a widow residing in ,Berwick, has died of hydrophobia. On the 20th of May a terrier dog had been fighting with another dog, and went home in a very excited state. Shortly afterwards it attacked the boy, and inflicted several very severe wounds on his face and other parts of the body. A. Miss Young, in endeavouring to screen the boy from the dog, was also bitten. The boy's wounds healed well, and he so far recovered that he was able to he about on Tuesday ; but on Wednesday symptoms of hydrophobia sheaved them , selves.' A medical gentleman gave it as his opinion that he was suffering from hydrophobia in a most aggravated form. This opinion was corroborated. The little fellow got gradually worse, and became very violent. He foamed at the mouth, bit and scratched at every person who ap proached him, and had to be tied in bed. His sufferings were very great, and in this condition he continued until his death the other morning. A meeting of the justices has been held, when it was resolved to give notice to the public against allowing dogs to wander at large. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, N ° . 24.346. I( INT tiIIAN'S - LL .

Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. Gd. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work." —Field. "Both to the beginner and.the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. " Tho completion of Mr. Newman' • work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by Si high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fnlly got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing - room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . • We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Water, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. Just published, price is 6d., by post Is.

PRICE 1 d STAMPED 2d. and though Mr. Gladstone had a long and animated whis pered discussion with the former, he failed to convince him, and the members for Stroud and Cam bridge insisted upon taking a division, with the effect of finding themselves in a minority of sixty-eight. Then followed Mr. Fawcett, with a somewhat bitter attack upon the Government. They had been vacillating, they had not known their own minds, they had been compelled to advance against their will step by step in the path of true progress ; They had admitted their error with regard to the permis sive part of their bill of last year, and he was quite sure that if the present bill were rejected by the House of Lords, the Ministry would be prepared to admit further errors next year. He therefore urged that clerical fellowships should not be omitted from the scope of this measure, and he said that under any circumstances he should divide the House on the point. The Solicitor-General, between whom and the Professor there has been a feud of old standing, replied to his assailant with bland and sarcastic politeness, which mightily pleased the House. He showed that Mr. Fawcett's proposal dealt with the statutes of the colleges, and that to do this would be to go far beyond the limits of the bill then before the House. Mr. Miall and Mr. Gladstone then told the story of the little conference which the Dissenters had with the Pieriale - flast -- autumn, and how the first promised the second they would not seek to compel any changes in the regulations of the colleges. But Mr. Locke did not see why he should be bound by the compact, and he gave notice that he should vote against the Go vernment. So there was another division, and once more Ministers triumphed over their nomi— nal friends by the aid of their traditional foes. A little later Sir Roundell Palmer made an im pressive and weighty speech, cheered chiefly on the Con servative benches. He warned the House against intro ducing heathenism into the teaching of the univer sities, for that would assuredly be followed by the introduction of heathenism into the morals of the country, a danger which recent events, he said (with reference to the wretched " epicene " case), shew that we are already in danger of. Mr. Vernon Harcourt having stated that he should not divide on his next amendment, a large number of members left the House, thinking there would be no need of their further attendance. But Mr. Osborne Morgan had discovered that a portion of an Act passed sixteen years ago was inconsistent with the bill before the House, and he moved the repeal of the objectionable portion. Sir John Coleridge assured him that he was wrong. Mr. Morgan assured the Solicitor-General that he was wrong ; and so they went on contradicting each other with most perfect good manners, to the great amusement of the House. Mr. Morgan had the courage of his convic tions, and he divided the House, when it appeared that only about half of the old numbers were present, but Mr. Glyn had whipped enough of his men from dinner to be on the winning side. Mr. Henley went with the Radicals, greatly to his disgust, and much to the amusement of the House when he announced his blunder. Mr. Fawcett made one more pro test against the bill as a most incomplete measure and said it was just as if the Irish Church Bill had disestablished curates and vicars,and had stopped short of deans and bishops. Then the preamble was passed, and then Mr. Hardy got up and ironically bid Government thank the Conservatives for the help which they had given it when likely to be overwhelmed by its own followers. Quick as thought Mr. Goschen got up, and amid much cheering on the Treasury bench, said that the Government was very much obliged indeed to the gentlemen on the Opposition bench for having rejected former measures. Had they not done so the House would not now be having the present satisfactory measure before it. Mr. Mowbray retorted that Ministers were whistling before they were out of the wood, and there was another House which might treat the bill rather differently from the House of Commons. Mr. Fawcett, bent upon having the last word, said that Mr. Goschen ought to thank the members below the gangway, for without their help the present bill could not have been passed. Mr. Goschen nodded assent. Mr. Morrison obtained from Sir John Coleridge the information that the report would be taken on Monday, and then the bill passed through committee at nine o'clock, amid consider able cheering, and to the relief of Mr. Dodson, who ran off to dine. A new Working Men's Institute has been opened in Sheffield. The movement is originated by Miss Harrison, who is so well known in connection with many philantrophic works, and the institute is to have a coffee room, at which newspapers and periodicals will be pro vided. • ---- MB. BUTT AND THE AMNESTY CO3IIILISSION.—Mr. Butt, as president of the Amnesty Association, refuses to acknowledge the commission to inquire into the treat ment of the Fenian convicts. He considers that in excluding personal testimony the commissioners have de prived the inquiry of a title to public confidence. ONE LORD-LIEUTENANT FOR TWO COUNTIES.— The Earl of Stair, who has been Lord-Lieutenant of Ayr shire since 1851, has been appointed also Lord-Lieutenant of Wigtonshire, in the room of the late Marquis of Ailsa. Precedents are not wanting in Scotland for the union of two counties under a single nobleman as Lord-Lieutenant the Duke of Buccleuch holds the joint lieutenancy of Roxburghshire and Midlothian—while his eldest son, the Earl of Dalkeith, holds the same office for the county of Dumfries. ADVERTISEMENTS RESPECTING STOLEN GOODS.-- A short bill has been prepared by the Government for the purpose of limiting actions against newspapers for in serting advertisements of reward for the return of stolen property. The Bill provides that every action to recover penalties against newspapers under the Larceny Act shall be brought within six months after the forfeiture is incurred, but prohibits every such action un less the assent in writing of her Majesty's Attorney- General or Solicitor-General for England, or the same officials for Ireland, has been first obtained. The bill has a clause of a retrospective character, which enables the defendant to stay proceedings. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.—The Secretary of State, on the recommendation of Colonel Henderson, the Chief Commissioner of Police, has been pleased to grant considerable concessions to the police force in the Metro politan district, as follows :—lnspectors' salaries are to be raised to £2los. per week ; Ist class sergeants, 31s. ; 2nd class, 295. ; Ist class constables, 265. ; 2nd class, 245. ; 3rd class, 225. ; and 4th class, 20s. Each class appointed to the reserve force will have in addition to this the follow ing extra rates of pay :—lnspectors, 4s. ; sergeants, 3s. ; and constables, is. 6d. per diem; and promotions are only to be made by seniority, while in cases where it has not been the case it is to be rectified, and officers not qualified by sufficient education are to attend instruction classes till they are. THE LATE SIR JAMES SIMPSON.—The Duke of Argyll has addressed a letter to Sir Walter G. Simpson, in which he says :—" I have received an order from her Majesty the Queen to convey to the family of Sir J. Simpson an expression of her Majesty's warmest sympathy in the loss they have sus tained, and an expression also of her Majesty's own sorrow on account of the loss which the country has sustained in the death of so great and good a man. Although I have only just received this command, it was the Queen's intention that it should reach me some time ago. Accidental circumstances occasioned a delay. I now obey her Majesty's command, and I need hardly add, on behalf of the Duchess and myself, that we both mourn the loss of a very dear personal friend." AN OLD RELIC.—The "Old White Horse" Inn, the half way house at Croydon, after standing for centuries, has been doomed to demolition. The license to this house was granted in the reign of Henry VIII., under very novel and stringent conditions, but which have long since been discontinued. A Royal grant of land was made for a public horse-pond, and which remained till a recent period. The ground is still enclosed. The timbers in the old house are of stupendous size, and the exterior is in sound condition. The old house stood on the manor of Lambeth, and adjoining the old manor-house, which has already been pulled down. The land of late years has be come too valuable to permit these ancient structures to monopolise such a large extent of ground. A new inn of a modern style is to be built on the old site on which the White Horse Tavern stood. TRADES OUTRAGES AT MANCHESTER. THREATENING LETTER.—Messrs. Robert Neill and Sons, builders and contractors, in Manchester, recently received a letter, in which it was stated that their premises in Strangeways would soon meet with a "visitation " similar to that which took place at the timber-yard of Mr. E. Johnson, in Ancoats, some time ago. The police were at once made acquainted with the contents of the letter, and a strict watch has since been kept over the premises of the Messrs. Neill. On Saturday night the police, who had secreted themselves on the premises, arrested three or four men, who were found inside the yard, and whose conduct will certainly subject them to the penalty which is usually enforced " for being found on certain premises for an unlawful purpose." Another man was arrested outside the premises. The prisoners were brought up at the City Police-court on Monday and remanded for a week.
