LONDON SCHOOL MARYLEBONE DIVISION_ TO THE HATEFAYEP,S OF THE DIVISION The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have given their decision in the case of " Martin v. Mac konochie." Judgment was delivered by Lord Chelms ford. Their lordships reviewed at some length the cir cumstances in connection with the issuing of the monition which the rev. gentleman was charged with disobeying, and observed that he was now before them on similar charges to those preferred in the previous instance, namely, with knowingly and habitu ally sanctioning the elevation of the cup and wafer, and with knowingly and habitually sanctioning prostration or kneeling during the prayer of Consecration. The affidavits filed by the respondent did not deny the practice alleged in the affidavit of the a,pellant, viz-, that• during the prayer in question he dropped his voice, so as to be nearly inaudible, that he elevated the cup and wafer, and that he bowed down so low that his forehead might have touched the Communion Table. Their lordships accepted his statement that he did not wish to shelter himself from the fact that he looked upon the elevation of the cup and wafer in the same light as elevating the paten ; therefore if the elevation charged was proved, whether by accident or intention, the respondent must not complain if the monition was enforced against him. The act of elevation within the prohibited degree hp.d been proved ; the intention, of course, could not be known. The remaining charge was his sanctioning kneeling, or prostration, durin g the prayer of conseci a tion. Mr. Mackonochie had himself admitted that he had expressed his intention to substitute bowing low for those gestures, and of adopting the same course in respect to this act, as he did in respect to the cup, which was to observe the law of the Church as nearly as possible without disregarding the law of the State. Now their lordships did not regard the reverential bow in the light of an act of prostration, but the posture assumed and maintained for some seconds was not mere bowing, but humble prostration ; they considered therefore the charge of prostration fully proved. Their lordships Quid not refrain from expressing their g reat regret at the course Mr. Mackonochie had adopted. He had, at lie admitted in his examination, scanned the monition carefully, and should have known that none of the practices which he was observing were sanctioned by the laws or ordinances of the Church. The prayer of the appellant was that he be condemned in the costs of the present proceeedings ; but their lordships could not look over the fact that the respondent had dis obeyed a former monition, and they therefore ordered that he be suspended from the discharge of his clerical duties for three calendar months, and further' that he be con demned in the costs of the present application. . ELECTORS, At the request of Inhabitant Ratepayers of each of the four Parishes, I submit myself as a Candidate for a seat at the. London School Board. I desire that every child in England be educated, and that the education be as complete as may be consistent with the age at which he must enter upon the business of life. I cannot deem any education complete which does not include religious subjects. 1 desire that the Bible be not only read but taught : and am convinced that the Education Act may be loyally and honestly carried out without any violation of the rights of conscience. I can devote to your service abundant leisure ; and if, in the course of events, I return to parliamentary life, I trust that your interests will not suffer from the opportunity thus afforded of defending the Education Act against unwise attack, while advo cating every reform which experience may hereafter recom mend BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE for DECEMBER, 1870.

TO THE RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE, The November Number will show subscribers that the Literary Staff of this periodical is quite prepared to encounter all the enemies of the faith. Whether on Geological and other Scientific questions or Biblical Criticism, or on the subjects assailed by the stump and revolutionary oratory of the mere atheistical and blaspheming demagogue, and by which many of the humbler classes are so much misled, and that the Colensos, Iconoclasts, and other enemies without, or heretics claiming a position within the Church, will be met with direct and vigorous refutation. We are promised a special set of strictly Scientific Articles on Geology, Natural llistory and Astronomy, &c., in refutation of scientific error in connection with Theology, and also on questions raised by Da Colenso and others, which have not yet received competent answer. At the same time all candid opponents, misled by false teaching, but sincerely inquiring after truth, will be treated with forbearance and respect, and willingly aided in their search. • T FIE GREAT WESTERN HOTEL.

WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY .WILLIAM EVILL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6d " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of ' A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, showing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. "Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr: Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces w man or woman to take ap a new volume : and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall /doll Gazette. "Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could. spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the . renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself Admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in foreible and some times eloquent language. .. . N o twith s tanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may net unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and worksof art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Councils his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evil was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, Inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The . author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before.. Sonic passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowinz terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollee tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. _ " Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's "Winter Journey to Rome. —The Examiner. " This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no ]anger queen, than a perusal.of this unpreten tious, but instruetive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

Colonel Sir Charles Russell, in responding to the toast of "The British Forces," said that the present state of our national defences called for special atten tion. When Mr. Cardwell came into office he reduced the army by some 22,000 men; but that reduction was hardly completed when the events on the continent necessitated his attempting to replace them by 20,000 fresh recruits. The success attending this endeavour might be judged from the statements of the Ministerial organ, which said that only two-thirds of the number had been recruited, notwithstanding that the standard had been reduced and the medical inspection made somewhat less severe. Mr. Cardwell had made a blunder there, and he had success fully continued it throughout. 'What was the position with regard to the artillery ? We had 180 guns— exactly one-third of what we required. He should like to. know if even the pattern of the guns had been decided, or the fuse, or even the harness determined upon. We had got one mitrailleuse ; or to be quite correct, he would not swear that there were not two. We had manufactured, or were nsianufacturing 100,000 new Snider rifles—a condemned weapon, the committee having reported a year ago_ in favour of a new weapon, not one of which, however, had been manufactured under Mr. Cardwell's orders. Our troops in India were armed with the muzzle-loader • and it was pretty well known what was done to the Military and volunteers. Mr. Cardwell said that when all things were completed he could put 60,000 men in the field ; but how could it be done ? The aimy had neither commissariat nor transport. Looking forward to what would await him when Parliament next met, the Secretary for War might well look around him and see what he had done. It amounted to this—that he had reduced the regiments to skeletons, and the rank and file to dwarfs. As regarded our present position, it was the very worst time to make changes. It was like changing one's front in the presence of the enemy. What he (Sir Charles) would suggest was this. Let the Government enlist freely and fairly, and embody the militia if they had power to do so. If not, the sanction of Parliament should be obtained without delay. They should provide the material which was essentially requisite in the shape of guns and arms, and should encourage the volunteers in every fair and legitimate way. As regarded the future, he was all for local efforts, and he thought the best mode would be to take the county as a nucleus. The men raised by the county should be divided into battalions—the first for active service, the second a reserve force, and the third a home battalion ; the men in the latter battalions being ' encouraged to enlist into the former. Each county should be required to provide a certain number of troops, for which the Government would find equipment, &c., and in the event of their not doing so a ballot should be taken, and every part of the kingdom compelled to find its quota for the national defence. As to the navy, he trusted that it was in a really respectable state for defence ; and although he had raised his voice against the indiscriminate discharge of dockyard labourers, he hoped that we should come better off as regarded the position of our navy than would at first sight appear. He trusted that Englishmen would awake to the reality of their position, and that they ' would not stand gazing at the " little streak of silver sea," but would unite as one man in bravely upholding the empire, and in handing it down as a glorious inheritance, untarnished and unimpaired. Colonel Shute briefly replied on behalf of the volunteers. THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS Several members of Parliament and others interested in education, and desirous of having working men directly represented on the School Board, have been actively engaged during the last few days in endeavours to induce one of the two working men candidates for Westminster, Chelsea, and Lambeth to with draw, so that the one going to the poll might have a better chance of success. Those candidates are Messrs. Potter and Shipton for Westminister, Messrs. Harry and Osborne for Chelsea, and... Messrs. Mottershead and.Apple garth for Lambeth. These efforts, however, have been in vain. The other boroughs have only one working man candidate each. Mr. S. Morley, M.P., and Mr. G. W. Hastings, ad , dressed a meeting of the electors in the Aldersgate Ward on Thursday evening. Mr. Morley said he considered himself ono of the hardest worked men in the City of London, and yet he should be glad to assist in the inaugu ration of the bright state of things which this bill was calculated to bring about. He thought it would be neces sary to have a great extension of infant schools. It would be requisite to be careful as to how they gave gratuitous education ; but he believed a large amount would have to be expended in the gratuitous education of children. A meeting of the supporters of Lord Lawrence and the Rev. Canon Cromwell was held at the Vestry Hall, Ken sington, the Hon. RC. Curzon in the chair. Sir George Lawrence appeared for his brother, Lord Lawrence, who was unable to attend through serious indisposition, and he very briefly stated the reasons upon which Lord Law rence sought to represent the ratepayers at the Board. Resolutions in favour of Lord Lawrence and Canon Cromwell were carried unanimously. Mr. A. M'Arthur has held during the present week a series of largely-attended and influential meetings in Lambeth. Mr. B. Hannen, after retiring, forwarded, through a member of his own committee, a subscription to the fund for defraying Mr. Applegarth's expenses. The number of electors is variously estimated at from 60,000 to 100,000, Lord Howard, of Glossop, the Roman Catholic candi date for Westminster for the School Board, addressed a meeting of ratepayers at St. Mary's schoolroom, Gate-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. Lord Howard said he sought a seat at the Board in the interests of the thousands of Roman Catholic children in the metropolis, although he should feel it his duty to act for the benefit of the children of all religions. A resolution in support of the candidate was agreed to. Mrs. Grey, the widow lady who is a candidate for Chelsea, finds her candidature for the School Board has been represented in colours so alarming to weak nerves, that she is anxious to chew that she is not quite sa black as she has been painted. She says :—" Let me assure those who have been alarmed by their imaginary pictures of me, that I am no dangerous firebrand, no propagator of destructive doctrines. I am only a quiet, middle-aged English gentlewoman, with old-fashioned notions about the neces sity of doing my duty when I see it clearly before me; and it seemed to me clearly my duty to become a can didate for the School Board, since Parliament has made women eligible, and I have time, health, independent means, and some knowledge of education to fit we for the oat." The death is announced of Mr. William Andrew Rew, D.C.L. He graduated in 1828, and having been elected a Fellow of St. John's, was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, and went the Northern Circuit. RETURN OF EARL COWPER TO HERTFORD. — The Right Hon. Earl Oowper will return with Lady Cowper to Panstanger, Hertford, on Monday. They will be received by the 2nd battalion of the Herts Rifle Volunteers, of which his lordship is lieutenant-colonel. There will be other demonstrations in celebration of his lordship's recent marriage. MISS EMILY FAMINULL AT PENZANCE.—Pre bendary Hedgeland presided at the Penzance Institute, when Miss Faithful' lectured there a few days since on " The Best Society." In moving for a vote of thanks, he remarked that Miss Faithful' had alluded to education, but he begged to say he considered " such an eminently suggestive lecture a great factor in education itself."— Plymouth. Nercury. LARGE JEWELLERY ROBBERY AT HULL.—Be tween twelve o'clock and seven o'clock yesterday morning the shop of James Scott, jeweller and watchmaker, Market-place, Hull, was broken into and robbed of stock to the value cf 22,000, consisting of eighty watches and other articles. Entrance was effected through au empty shop next door, mid a hole was drilled through the wall of Mr. Scott's establishment. The burglars left several of their implements behind, and also a large quantity of stock, which had been prepared apparently for removaL GOVERNMENT INQUIRY ON THE TREATMENT OF LEPROSY.—We understand that the Government have applied to the authorities at the London College of Physicians to nominate to them a physician who should proceed to Trinidad to report on' a mode of treatment of leprosy of which favourable reports have been received from colonial authorities. Dr. Gavin Milroy has consented to undertake this mission at the request of the college, and has accordingly been nominated to the Government.— British Medical Journal. REQUISITES FOR FEANCE.—lmmense orders have just been received in Wolverhampton for tin goods to be used in the equipping of men in the camp. Nearly every one of the tin-plate working firms, large and small, in that borough are now busy upon such wares as canteens, soup cans, stew pans, and the like. Of these wares they have engaged to turn out by a few days hence as many as will require for the payment the sum of £15,000. It is stated that Birmingham firms likeWiKe- are equally active upon he same i class of :. goods, 0.4:t rrdeml by the -military b.i.ithorities of France. . . . . . ... . . . • The election of fifteen representatives of the ratepayers to form a School Board, under the Education Act of last session, took place in Manchester on Thursday. The constituency being the same as at a municipal election, the voting was conducted under similar arrangements as to polling-booths and the recording of the votes, the only element of difference arising from the application of the principle of the cumulative vote, which necessitated a special organisation for ascertaining the result of the election. In point of law there were forty-four candi dates before the constituency, representinc , the number of nominees left on the nomination list at the last day for wishdrawing candidatures. Practically, however, the number of candidates had been reduced to forty, four of the candidates having requested their friends not to vote in their behalf. The polling was carried on with a degree of quietness and order in remarkable contrast to the ex citing scenes occurring at parliamentary and municipal elections. At the Town Hall an over zealous partisan got into collision with a policeman, and was taken into custody, but after an examination before the stipendiary magistrate he was set at liberty. Owing to the complica tions arising from the exercise of the cumulative vote, it was impossible to publish the results immediately after the election. All doubtful votes were referred to the mayor. It is roughly estimated that nearly thirty thousand, or about one-third of the constituency, took part in the elec tion. The Church party, by their superior organisation by a partial use of cabs, and the concentration of their votes, are supposed to , have a considerable chance of carrying their candidates. The Roman Catholics, it was also noted, during the day concentrated their votes upon Canon Toole and Mr. Richardson, more particularly upon . the former, and polled in great numbers. A noteworthy feature of the election was the number of women voters, which was very much greater in proportion than at any of the municipal elections in which they have hitherto en joyed the privilege of the suffrage. Mr. Leman, the Chief Clerk in Chancery, has been appointed to the office of Taxing Master, vacant by the death of Mr. Hume. Mr. A. Rawlinson has been appointed Chief Clerk, in the place of Mr. Edwards, who has resigned. DISCOVERY OF AN IMMENSE BED OF OYSTERS.-- The Cambrian states that some time ago a vessel loaded with copper ore was lost near Porthcawl. Divers have been at work in order to bring up the cargo, and while so doing they discovered an immense oyster bed reaching for a long distance. Last week nearly 200 smacks were loaded with oysters therefrom. COLONEL GRAY M.P., ON THE VOLUNTEERS.—. Colonel Gray, M.P. for Bolton. speaking on Thursday night at Halliwell, referred to military matters. • He said, he thought he actually expressed the opinions of those connected with the three branches of the service when he said they would wish their interests placed in different hands than those of Mr. Cardwell. The general opinion was that he did not handle the branch (the Volun teers) with which he (Colonel Gray) was connected in the vigorous manner the country would wish. In a leading article on the changes about to be made in the Russian army, the Exchange News of St. Petersburg considers that about 736,000 persons will now be added to the number of those who hitherto have been liable to personal military service. The increase, there fore, will be about 3 per cent., reckoning that number ap proximately at 26 millions. For some time past General Fadyeef has heen urging on the Government the adoption of something like the Prussian military system, and at last he seems to have obtained a hearing. Just before the Franco-Prussian war broke out he retired from the service, but before long it is likely that his name will be come prominent in Russia. SIR AUGUSTUS PAGET AND THE POPE. —A. correspondent in Rome writing on - the 18th says :Sir Augustus Paget, English Ambassador at Florence, has spent a few hours in Rome, and had a long interview with Cardinal Antonelli. He is said have received the offer of a passage to Malta, and a residence in that island for the Pope. Cardinal Antonelli having replied that much would depend on the attitude of the Great Powers as to the transfer of the capital, Sir Augustus hastened to observe that the present Cabinet of St. James', and especially Mr. Gladstone, were too cordially allied with the Italian Government to lend their influence in any direction, save that of the complete' fulfilment of the national aspirations. His Fxcellency returned last night to Florence. THE INVISIBILITY OF THE BELEAGUERING FORCE AT PARIS.—One of my most forcible early impressions of the theatre of war around Metz was the comparative invisibility of the beleaguering force. It is the same here. We know roughly how , many thousand Germans there stand around Paris, ever ready . for action when the alarm is given. But where are they? would be the natural question for one who does not know how com pactly the Gernians stow, and what little show their hosts make when there is no occasion for demonstration. The country all round is chequered with villages and chateaux in the vicinity of which is visible an occasional , spiked helmet. But let the alarm sound, and see what a dense clump of spiked helmets every village and chateau would give up.—Daily News Correspondent. •., • ' THE AMMUNITION EXPLOSION AT BIRMINGHAM. —An inquest was held at Birmingham on Thursday , concerning, the fatality to a lad named Kettle, who died Of the injuries caused by the last explosion but one at Kynock's Cartridge Manufactory. A witness named Ains worth, employed at Kynock's, said the explosion was caused by a flash from a machine used for gauging Chas sepot cartridges. The machine was quite safe ordinarily in the hands of men who understood it, but he would not like to use it for piece work, because there would be a temptation to hurry; and a mistake in placing the cartridge would cause an explosion. He added that four boys worked within about a yard of each other, each having about 500 cartridges ; and witness himself had 2,000 cartridges before him. A workman named Hall, formerly employed at Woolwich, said that unnecessary quantities of gunpowder and cartridges were kept in the shop. There were between thirt y and forty pounds weight of powder, and ho, for his •own part, had four thousand cartridges before him. The boy from whose machine the flash came worked as quickly as possible, because he was employed by the piece. The j ury re turned a verdict of " Accidental death." MEMBERS OUT OF TowN.—Mr. Ribber t• and Mr. Platt, the members for Oldham, were present on Thurs day at the annual dinner of the Liberal Registration , Association in that borough, and in the evening addressed a public meeting. Mr. Hibbert on both occasions alluded to the war, expressing a hope that Germany would not insist o n the cession of Alsace and Lorraine against the consent of the inhabitants. Referring to. various measures which were likely to come before Parlia ment in the ensuing session, he declared himself opposed to the Permissive Bill, but in favour of an improvement of the licensing system, with considerably extended restrictions upon the hours of sale, and in other wa ys. The organisation of the army, he thought, stood very much in need of improvement, and he strongly advocated the abolition of the purchase system and of honorary colonelcies. Mr. Platt confined his remarks to foreign affairs, approv ing of the policy of non-intervention, and remarkin ,, that, as the result of personal study of the Franco-German question, the war had long appeafed to him inevitable. He deprecated the existence of treaties, expressed his reliancOon the generosity of the Germans not to misuse -their power; and spoke hopefully of an amicable adjust.' i ment of the Eastern difficulty.
