His appointment, therefore, to a diocese recently ruled by a strict party bishop, and rent by differences, is particularly opportune. MANCHESTER EDUCATION MEASURES. The Manchester Education Bill Committee, which drew up a measure in 1867, and ano th er i n 1868— both being presented to Parliament, and the latter read a second time—has now prepared two bills for next session. One is an Education Bill, and the other a Compulsory Attendance Bill. The former provides for the creation of scho o l di s t r i c t s each having a school committee empowered and liable to be compelled to provide education and school accommodation where it is defective. Existing. schools may " enter into union " with the School Committee, retaining their own management, pro vided that no scholar be compelled to submit to religious instruction in any shape, if the parents object to it. The following clause settles the religious difficulty in schools transferred to the committee, or new ones created by them :—"ln ordi nary lesson hours no religious catechism or formu laries shall be used, nor shall anything in support of or in opposition to the peculiar tenets of any religious sect or denomination be taught therein, provided that nothing herein contained shall be held to exclude the reading of the Holy Scriptures." But it is provided, under certain regulations, that the school-rooms may be used by religious teachers out of the ordinary school hours. Half the expense of new schools will be paid by rates and half from the Consolidated Fund. The existing schools, on certain conditions, would receive a grant equal to their voluntary contributions. The other Manchester bill—that for enforcing attendance—stipulates that children between six and thirteen be required to attend school at least thirty weeks in each year, and to make at least eight atten dances each week ; those only being exempt who, being over eleven, are able to pass the sixth standard of the Government code. But children under the Factory Acts will remain subject to their conditions. Penalties will be inflicted in the case of absentees. EDUCATION REFORM IN WALES. The committee appointed to make preliminary investigations has decided to submit a hot and strong secular scheme to the Welsh Educa tion Conference, which will open on the 25th. Tho requirements of Wales in the matter of education can be met only on the free, secular, and compulsory principle. The religious teaching given in schools is of no use; therefore let religious teaching be left to the parents and the Christian Church. It would be immoral to enforce attendance at denominational schools, or t o levy rates for sectarian teaching. Advanced schools ought to be provided. If managers of exist ing schools will not consent to union with this free, &c., national system, State aid must be withdrawn. Such are, in brief, some of the neat little theorems which are to be submitted to the consideration of the men of Wales.

Mr. Felix Summerly suggests in a letter to the Times that rate-supported schools should teach something more than the elements of know ledge, that they should be properly graduated, and thus benefit the classes which pay the rates as well as the poor. Every group of ten thousand persons should have ono good infant school, also one elemen tary school for reading, writing, ciphering, with geo metrical drawing, and music and drill, where all should be taught these subjects. This school should have an upper and a lower division. There should be a third school for teaching bookkeeping, the English language, and elementary science. Mr. Summerly adds that this system works admirably at Faversham, in Kent. All denominations agree . with it, and each looks after its own doctrine.. The great advantage of such a plan is that small tradesmen and others in similar circumstances send their own children to the upper grades of the school, and have, therefore, less pre judice against paying the rates. MR. WATKIN WILLIAMS, M.P. Mr. Watkin Williams, the member for Denbigh, is having an amusing little quarrel with the Standard. The Standard charged the honourable gentleman with changing his opinions from mild Whiggism to violent Radicalism. Mr. Williams will not allow this. The Standard reminds him that he previously opposed the ballot, and kept his tongue still about Church and State ; while now he advocates secret voting, and promises to introduce the question of the disestablishment of the Welsh Church to the House of Commons in the coming session. In reply, the member for Denbigh admits - a change of view as to the Ballot—an alteration brought about by seeing the practical working of open voting as opposed to the theory of its value ; but he denies that he has come at all recently to the conclusion that Church and State ought to be separated. Not only has ho always held the "Radical" creed on this subject, but his father before him, and Ms father before him ; and his father before Mm. One Watkin Williams, the present gentleman's great grandfather, 100 years ago, openly at Ruthin, advocated the separation of Church and State, What has the Standard to say to this ? THE IRISH BUDGET. There is the usual satisfactory collection of news from Ireland. In the first place, the inquest on the body of Walsh—the man who was murdered because he raised the price of eggs by large purchases—has ended in nothing. An open verdict has been returned. No evidence has been collected respecting the murderers, and the two men who were apprehended have been discharged. There is not the slightest probability that the perpetrators of this monstrous deed will be discovered. On the other hand, it is gratifying to hear that the Fenians are displaying fresh signs of life. A band of 600 marched the other night to meet a body of Ribandmen, against whom they had become hostile, owing to the break-up of the land meetings. They had drums and fifes, and were pre pared for battle. A magistrate, with fifty policemen, attended to prevent a collision, though how fifty men could be expected to effect this result is not stated. But the Ribandmen cut short the difficulty by keep ing away. Whilst Sergeant Brown, of the 68th Regi ment, stationed at Ballincollig, was returning home from Cork, he was accosted by four men, who presented revolvers and demanded arms. Finding that he had none they withdrew. Of course no arrest has been made. THE LAND QUESTION The priests of the Tralee Deanery, with Dean Mawe at their head, have passed resolutions denouncing the present land laws, and declaring that "no legislation can give peace and contentment which does not insure to the tenant-farmer the continuous possession of his land as long as he pays a fair and equitable rent." This meeting also took the agricultural labourer into consideration, deciding in favour of "some provision" for him. The Irish Tenant League, which started to fill the place left vacant by its late lamented predecessor, is in a :es •Eirnollll , 7lt. but though furnished with the most appropriate of names, he seems quite unable to resuscitate the finances of the League. But he is doing his best by distributing association cards, which are sold at one shilling each —rather a poor subsistence for a society which at one time promised to carry on such a brisk agitation business. MR. MADDEN. Mr. Madden—how suggestive the name is I—is not altogether satisfied with the action of the Govern ment in his case. He did not care to serve as Sheriff under a bad Ministry • but he did not expect to be deposed 'from the magistracy. Against the tyranny of the latter act of the Government he protests in a letter to the Lord Chancellor. He denies that he meant any dis respect whatever to the Queen.. He spoke of the Ministry, and he still maintains his right to criticise the acts of the Government. " Every British subject, as I take it, has a right to find fault with the adminis tration of public affairs, when they think the conduct of the servants of the Crown is open to cen sure. I presume the Lord Chancellor will not deny that. I have done no more. I pay my, taxes, and I claim my right to criticis e the public acts of any and every public officer." Mr. Madden adds that he was not blind to the honour of serving the Queen. What he objected to was "to serve as con servator of the peace under a Ministry . who have excited hopes and expectations in the minds of my fellow-countrymen which they have neither the in tention nor power to realise.' Such a course, he thinks, is the most cruel that could be adopted 'to the humbler classes of the people. The only poespe result must be confusion, anarchy, and oqtrage t -1, GREAT TRIUMPH OF LOCAL ootnitzulterr. j Signs have not been wanting of jai§ to indlepa' te that the power of Parliament and. the gxecutivis will shortly be transferred to vestries and boards of guardians ; and the last audacious proceedings of the Northampton board are another • rrhia WWI 1""/ tfial Ihrvardriittion — Abt mit not be carried out in that locality. The Act is not permissive. It applies to the whole country. It has been adopted only after the gravest consideration, and the result, according to the vast majority of good judges, has been beneficial. But all this mat; tors nothing to the Northampton board, who simply resolve that the Act shall remain a dead letter. This is, indeed, progress in the way of local government. We shall next hear of a Northampton Education Abolition Bill, of a Jobbery Authorisation Bill, a n d, of a Rate-supported Guardians Daily Dinner Bill, OPEN CHURCHES. The London Free and Open Church Association have published the Bill which it is intended to introduce into Parliament in the coming session. It seeks in a word to abolish pew rents and the appropriation of sittings in parish churches. It sets forth that the " entire " area of each parish church belongs to "all" the parishioners for their equal use; and, therefore, it provides that the allotment of sittings for continuous use to any one person, regard made to any degree or quality, shall be henceforth illegal. AU existing continuous rights are to cease with the life of their holder. The Asso ciation expect substantial parliamentary support for their measure, as 200 members are reckoned amongst the supporters of the movement. Amongst these, however, Mr. C. E. Cawley, Mr. Charley's partner in the representation of Salford, cannot be numbered; for that gentleman thinks the " notion " upon which the Free and Ope Church Association bases its arguments to be " one of the purest hallucinations that ever pos sessed the mind of man." Thus he ex presses himself in a correspondence with Mr. Edward Herford. Mr. Herford writing to the lion. member, on the subject of a local church, declared that by the seats in the ylace of worship in question being appropriatedl" nine•tenths of the parishioners were practically shut out." It is this statement, that raised Mr. Cawley's wrath. Mr. Herford, noting how very decided was his correspondent's opinion, challenged him, rather hastily it must be admitted, to a public discussion. Mr. Cawley declined the honour with a growl at Mr. Herford for proposing it. He answers Mr. Herford, however, in this wise : There are a number of persons who are precluded from attending worship by reason of sickness, &c.; another large portion live with a positive repugnance to church-going ; one half of the remainder go to places, they have provided for themselves; and all wh o d o g attend Church are entitled to a seat provided it be not already occupied. There is, therefore, no need for a change in the law. Mr. Cawley evidently knows nothing of any kept from Church by reason of the division made by pew rents between the difte rent classes : he has never heard complaints at a forced tax being made for attendance at Church; and does not believe that a change from this system into voluntaryism would turn grumblers into cheerful givers. LORD EINNAMD ON RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. Lord Kinnaird has been roused by the recent acci dent at Forgandenny to consider the question of rail way accidents, and he sends his conclusions to the Dundee Advertiser. His lordship complains first of the bad management which caused the acci dent in this particular case, and of the badness of provision made throughout the Caledonian Railway—" insufficient and inefficient plant ; unpunctuality in running of trains ; neglect of well-known precautions ,for the prevention of acci dents; a staff of railway servants in numbers far below the requirements of the line ; and in experienced servants." The moral he applies is general. It is supposed, remarks his lordship, that damages against a company are sufficient to induce the directors to take precautions against accidents, but as the chances of a prosecution are small, the fear of it weighs but little with them. A. Board of Trade inquiry into the cause of accidents leads to no prac tical result. Nothing but a parliamentary com mittee or royal commission to inquire into the genertil management of railways would obtain from Parliament some enactment by which companies should be compelled to adopt proper precautions to potiNrilt the sacrifice of life and limb. LORD HOUGHTON ON THE SUEZ CANAL. L'ird Houghton has given the result of his observa tions at the inauguration of the Suez Canal to the Geographical Society. Having read about it in moderate language in English, and immoderat e lan page in French journals, he is inclined to think that its geographical, commercial, and political importance has been somewhat exaggerated. It had been com pared to the discovery of America, but with this he did not agree. Great inventions, in his opinion, always came at the time they were required, and the Suez Canal was really the product of the wants and necessities of our own time. Having narrated the history of the undertaking, and described his presentation to the Khedive as the representative of the Geographical Society, the noble lord expressed an opinion that the immediate effects of the Suez Canal would be of very great importance, and that it would mainly develope the trade of Greece and Italy, and small traffic generally; but that the commerce of France and England was too large to receive much benefit from it. Sir F. Allen said he thought the Canal an unqualified success. In his opinion it was destined to be the great channel of communication with India. MR. PEABODY AN ALIEN. An inquiry has been held at Newington, re specting certain lands and premises at Stockwell, which had been purchased on behalf of the late Mr. George Peabody. Mr. Peabody was an alien, and the reason for this inquiry was that by the law of England, persons, not subjects, born aliens, are unable to hold land in this country through any legal or equitable title. About thirteeen or fourteen acres of land were purchased out of Mr. Peabody's third endowment of £200,000, of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany. Sir Curtis M. Lampson acted for Mr. Pea body, who supplied the money, and it was now to be settled whether this land should be ceded to the Crown, and the Crown having a legal title would hand it over to the trustees. Sir 0. M. Lampson proved that Mr. Peabody was born at Danvers, Massachusetts; that he first came to England in 1820, and established himself in business in the City. He was never naturalised in England, and refused all English titles and honours, choosing to remain a citizen of the United States till his death. The jury found accord ingly, and " that the land and premises now do belong to tie Crown by virtue of the royal prerogative, all which have been seized into the hands of her Majesty." DEATH OF SIR DE LACY EVANS. General Sir de Lacy Evans, one of the ablest officers in the British army, died on Sunday evening at the age of 83. His services to his country have been long and very distinguished. He obtained a commission in the army in 1807, and served with honour through the campaigns in Spain and Portugal. in 181043. He gained great renown by volunteering for storming parties and all similar enter prises where honour was to be won by decd t 3 of personal bravery. He received in rapid succession his company, majority, and lieutenant-colonelcy for ser vices rendered against the enemy. In 1814 he was employed in North America, and was after wards present at Waterloo. During the long peace which followed, the only enterprise of Sir de Lacy Evans was the command of tho "British Legion" of 10,000 men empliyed in Spain in 1835 on behalf of the Queen Regent and her daughter Isabella. He carried on a two years' contest with great success. From that time his sword rusted until the Crimean War brought him again to the front. He was appointed commander of the Second Division, with the rank of Lieutenant-General. At the battle of the Alma his bravery was conspicuous. He again distinguished himself in repulsing the attack of the Russians on our lines before Sebastopol on October 20, and was mentioned by Lord Raglan in the highest terms in his despatches. Perhaps his most remarkable display of soldierlike qualities was at the battle of fifth of November General Evans had gone on board a ship at baiak lavaz owing to fatigue and illness, and the command of his division was left to General Pennefather. On hearing that fighting was going on, however, the General rose from his sick-bed and joined his troops — not to take the honour of the day from Pennefather, but to aid him with his counsel. His noble conduct on this occasion was highly praised by the Com mander-in-Chief, and again in the despatch in which the Minister of War conveyed her Majesty's thanks to the Army of the East. • In February 1855 General Evans returned to England invalided, and received in person the thanks of the House of Commons for his services in the Crimea. Several honours were conferred upon him. His brilliant career closed in rest and retirement. The deceased General sat in Parliament for considerable inter v a ls durin g the time of peace. In May 1833 he succeeded Lord Brougham in the representation of Westminster, and retained that borough, with a brief interregnum, until 1865. 10,000 PRESENTS, from 2s.
