Army Reductions. Amongst the official documents published is one containing the correspondence relative r,t_o the reduction of field officers in the Guards. The Military Secretary announces to the Under- Secretary of State the approval of her Majesty that the appointment of Major-General attached to the Foot Guards be retained, and that one of the Majors in each of the regiments of the Brigade of Guards be gradually reduced, retaining the Lieutenant- Colonel, who would have the command of a battalion in addition to that of the regiment. He announces that in accordance with this arrangement the vacancy . in the Grenadier Guards caused by the prom otion of Prince William Frederick of Saxe-Weimar to the rank of a major - general would not be filled up. In letters to the Military Secretary, and the Duke of Cambridge, Colonel Hardinge points out the inversion of promo tion.resulting from this act of the Government, and the anomalies that must arise from such a compro mise between the conflicting principles of a purely regimental or a distinct battalion organisation. The Duke of Cambridge in forwarding this corres pondence to Mr. Cardwell, strongly recommends it to his serious consideration, as, " under existing circumstances, these officers, as well as their succes sors may feel their interests very much affected." Mr. Cardwell ultimately declines to sanction the proposed arrangement that in the event of Colonel Harding retiring from the command of the Coldstream Guards, promotion may be allowed to go - on in the regiment. Having regard to the inquiry just about to be commenced by the royal commission upon the subject of over-regulation prices, he suspends further 'judgment in the matter. The Queen's University in Ireland. The report of the President of Queen's Col lege, Belfast, gives a most satisfactory account of the progress of that institution. A larger amount of interest must necessarily attach to the well being of Queen's College, inasmuch as it . affords the most genuine promise of a better state of things for Ireland in the fact that, although largely supported by the Protestant denominations, it has always num bered ninny Roman Catholics • amongst its students. Dr. Henry observes in his report that he is able to give the most satisfactory testi mony as to the working of the great principle of uniting the conflicting schools of Irish opinion under the shelter of one institution. From the foundation of this college, he adds, friendships hare been formed amongst young men of different creeds, of which he receives constant evidence in tracing the history of many former students, whether of those adorning their professions at home or of Others filling public posts abroad with ability and success. , ~ .L . l / 4„.......... ........r...... 4111111 .. ~ --‘ . 1111111r( L ,} il / __ __ _ _ -,--."-- ~,: v .....,... , , _.„....: it , 43. t... .. . f., 01 t : i 1 ; . :, , ,,,.., , ,. , ::,,, , .

" Supposing ,a Catholic governor should act as you have done to Pro testant prisoners ?" " But we have no Catholic governors," answered the civic represensative. " But suppose we were in a Catholic country." " But we are not in a Catholic country." In this way the enlightened alderman refused to consider the question in any other than a dogged manner, the most that could be got from him being an acknowledgment of the law in the case. For in stance, he knew that by law the priest ought to have access to the creed register of each prison, but in this matter lie objected to obey the law. Being pressed, he thought the priest might perhaps be" allowed'to look at the register under surveillance." Verily, after all this evidence, one is bound to believe that the utility and - wisdom of select committees of inquiry need never again be questioned.

The wretched numbers that took part in the later divisions on the Land Bill shew clearly that the House of Commons has had quite enough of the measure. When au important clause is decided by a di v i s i on of 114 to 27, the affair must indeed be considered settled. The majority consisted of Liberals, the minority for the most part of Conservatives. How tired the latter party must be of the conflict, when only about a score shew fight ! Of the 27 who formed the minority,two or three were not Conservatives. in the other division—that on Mr. Kavanagh's new clause —the Government won by 192 to 120. This, too, was a party division. East Suffolk. The indignation of the Conservatives generally at the supineness of the party in East Suffolk has produced some effect. At present Sir Shafto Adair, Liberal, is the only candidate in the field, and though the Conservatives have long had the supe riority in the county, it appeared likely that this time the Liberals would get the seat through sheer inability on the part of the oppo site side to find a candidate. This state of things, however, is to be redressed. The Standard has reason to believe that a champion is to be brought forward to fight the Conservative battle. Even then the Liberals will have an advantage in so much time gained. Mr. Barry and the Board of Works. Mr. Ayrton is reported to have said, in his reply to the motion of Mr. Cowper Temple in the House of Commons, that in the case of the new buildings now in progress at Burlington House, Messrs. Banks and Barry, the architects, acquiesced in the Department of Works retaining all the contract drawings in their custody. Those gentlemen, in a letter, state that the reverse was the case. They allege that the contract drawings having been signed and the contract executed by the con tractor at the Office of Works, the drawings were retained there not with their acquiescence, but, as correspondence will shew, against their strong protest, that such retention was unusuual, embarrassing to themselves, and detrimental to the public service. Their grounds for the latter assertion were that the buildings would have to be, as they now are, executed from tracings, instead of from the original drawings, which are likely to be more accurate and exact than copies. Surely Messrs. Banks and Barry do not mean to sa) that skill in the tracery department of an architect's Office is so deficient that an exact copy of a drawing cannot be made. Foreign and Colonial Guaranteed Loans. Among the parliamentary papers just issued is a return of all loans to foreign countries and British colonies,. and of all loans raised by foreign countries and British colonies, of which the capital or interest has been . guaranteed by Acts of Parliament from 1820 to 1868 inclusive. It appears that the loans to foreign countries are composed of the Russian-Dutch Loan, the Greek Loan, the Sardinian Loan, and the Turkish Loan. Great Britain became responsible with France Russia and Bavaria for the Greek Loan in 1832, an Plain Speaking. The Times deserves credit for courage. It has taken upon itself to defend at considerable length a practice which men of all parties have agreed, theo retically at least, to denounce as a scandal and a reproach to the English Church. Mr. Cross, it believes, is attempting an impossibility, in endeavouring to do away with the sale of next presenta tions, and, what is more, an undesirable impossibility. A seat in Parliament is no 'longer to be purchased for money, neither, says Mr. Cross, is the presenta tion to a spiritual cure ; but the Times, while admitting the hope to be " respectable," is somewhat sceptical in both cases. Wealth is always a power, and a crusade against it may chance to be not only " furious and narrow-minded," but also void of result. If a man wishes to invest, say £3,000 in the Church, it is a sign that he is in earnest, and, therefore, a good man. Most congregations, the Times thinks, would rather have a minister with such a guarantee than an object of charity, whom they are likely to despise. As we all aro, and as English society is, we want wealthy men in the Church. They have their faults, but they are a necessity, and the purchase of next presentations is the means by which they enter the Caurch. The law as to the sale of livings is not supported by public opinibn. One man resigns, another takes his place, and it is notorious there has been a money transaction, but no one thinks the worse of either. It was a neces sity, and about necessities there is nothing more to be said. Nothing indeed ! We might suggest that our Cabinet might as well be filledby the same means, and our chancellors and chief justices appointed by private auction. If wealth be a legiti mate " power' in regard to the things of Heaven, we must be altogether mistaken in not seeing the " neces sity" for its direct intervention in matters of justice and administration. Miss Burdett Coutts as a Guardian. Miss Burdett Coutts is not, it would seem, to be a member of the Bethnal-Green Board of Guardians. Such is the decision of the Poor, Law Board though she was duly elected, beating the next candi date on the list by 108 votes. The clerk, however, did not reckon her votes, considering her disqualified. An appeal to the Poor Law Board has pro duced no permanent effect, for though the Board refuses to acknowledge the election, it is alarmed at the prospect of dealing with a " woman's rights" question, and suggests that the matter shall be carried into the Court of Queen's Bench. This is a terrible prospect for the unoffend ing gentleman who, as next on the poll, has stepped into Miss Coutts' place, since the form of the action will probably be a demand upon him to show cause why he acts as a guardian. Certainly, if Miss Coutts' were confirmed in her tenure of office, there would be one " guardian of the poor " in Bethnal-green whose office was not a misnomer. A London Alderman. The select committee appointed to inquire into the government and state of the London prisons have within the last few days had a witness before them,whose evidence revealed a condition of bigotry and prej ud ice, which in any Englishman would be shameful, but which in an" Aldermanof the city of London" is positively appalling. This gentleman is one of the authorities over the city gaols, and in that capacity he has refused, and " would again refuse," the admission of a priest to the Catholic inmates on a Sunday. "We are," said the witness, " a Protestant country, and such being the case, we object to the intrusion of the Roman Catholics." On being reminded that eight millions of the Queen's subjects were Roman Catholics, the alderman replied That he did not care how many there were." "We are," he added, still in the Jefferson Brick mode of argument, " essentially and virtually a Protestant community, and in the city of London particularly." The Alderman admitted on subsequent questioning, that he had been in Ireland " where, indeed, the. Corporation had estates," and on being told that. Protestant clergymen in that country are often nominated by Catholic guardians to gaols and poor-houses, where there were only three or even one Protestant inmate, answered that "he was not surprised at anything that happened in Ireland , ' and such was his opinion of Irishmen and Liberal Irish Catholics, that "he would be very sorry to copy them in any way." The committee in vain tried to put matters in a fair way before this witness, who certainly appeared to The International Yacht Race. The Daily News regrets the hitch 'in the arrange ment of the matches between the Sappho and the Cambria. The points of the case, it says, are clear enough. The American, being the bigger craft, insisted ortrogrAepen sea-going i r o swe, iu a strong breeze over a . certain distance. The English vessel . being the smaller and nimbler craft demanded a course dead to windward. The former counted on her speed and power in reaching, the latter on her weatherly qualities. Evidently a course which could be laid on a single tack would not suit the Cambria, while a course requiring a succession of tacks would put the Sappho at a disadvantage. When the two yachts reached the starting-point, the umpires sig nalled a course round the west end of Cherboure , Breakwater and back. The Cambria demurred,' because this course was not dead to wind ward ; and the fact of the Sappho having subse quently sailed it on a single tack confirms the Cambria's objection. A course dead to windward might have been easily fixed, when the wind was blowing steadily from one quarter. Without saying the conditions were unreasonable, the Daily News thinks there should be a certain liberality in their in terpretation and observance. The " Alexandra Lamp." The French surgeons have begun to give serious attention to a variety of diseases and malformations arising from the fashion in vogue latterly of wearing high and unequal heels to the shoes. They assert that spinal maladies have to their knowledge fol lowed from the unnatural position in which the body is thrown by high heels, while distor tions in the foot, and a variety of painful nervous affections ensue from the strain on the limbs produced by one boot being higher than its fellow. It may be well to • say here on scientific authority that ladies of certain and uncertain age are alike liable to all the maladies referred to, indeed, if there is a question in the matter, it would appear that the more uncer tain the age the more certainly is the lady wearer open to the ailments and disfigurations brought on by anxiety for a dainty limp. Civil Interment. In France there is a custom of givingivin what is called " civil interment " t o th e bodies r of persons who in life may have expressed a wish to have an inexpensive burial at the hands of their friends. The vicar of Stratford-on-Avon wishes that the practice were adopted more generally in England. It is too hard, he argues, that poor families have to give melancholy funeral brealifasts, to supply gloves, and scarf bands and mutes, to have four horses drawing a hearse, which could be easily pulled along by two, to have senseless trappings, ornamented coffins, and hideous plumes. The rev, vicar proposes that Englishmen hould imitate the example of the late Lord Derby, and desire to have their bodies interred without ostentation and nun ec tary-trnd-profoeud-exhibitions of importance or extravagance. The rev, gentleman also desires a reform in the services of the Church, preferring hymns of hope and gratitude rather than those of mourning and despair, and a consolatory sermon to the friends, rather than a prosy panegyric on the merits of the deceased, and a lengthened dis quisition on his loss. A Modern Tower of Babel. If Cardinal Mezzofanti were alive and were on the look out for a profession, he had certainly better apply for the post of reporter to the Cana dian House of Commons. Indeed, if we are to judge from a story told by the Toronto Globe, it may be questioned whether any meaner linguist is qualified for the task. A railway bill was under discussion by the House, when Sir George Cartier, the Minister of Militia, raised an objection. A. Mr. Ferguson, not hearing distinctly what was said, asked Sir George to repeat his obser vations, which ho did in French. Whereupon the Hon. Sandfield Macdonald, for some unexplained reason, addressed the amazed members in Gaelic. Sir G. Cartier was not to be outdone, so in reply he, with the assist ance of a friend, pronounced a short speech in Latin, and filially passed into Greek. His Greek would not have availed him much in Attica, for the words had no connection with each other,but a conclud ing quotation from Homer made it sound all right. A protest against the desultory discussion was then made in Spanish ! Had not the hour for private bills come to an end, there is no saying where the war of tongues would have ended. Out to Grass. Mr. 13. Cartledge, veterinary surgeon, a well-known authority on the treatment of the horse, in a letter to the Times draws attention to the subject of turning that important animal out to grass. It is all very well, he says, for the young animal pro tected by long hair and lengthy mane and tail, whose time while young has to be got over one way or another, but with stale and " groggy . " horses, re quiring rest, the matter is entirely different. The desired rest, he submits, is not to be had in the pasture. In the simple process of gathering his food he says the horse walks many miles during the twenty-four hours, while the flies in summer and the scorching heat drive away rest, and bring the animal in eight cases out of ten in much worse form than when turned out. Mr. Cartledge's regimen is as follows :—" Put them into a loose box or shed, well littered with tan, bark, saw dust, or straw, or all combined ; remove the shoes, and rasp off the sharp edges of the crust to prevent them breaking ; supply water without stint ; give a liberal allowance of oats, Indian corn, and bran, with cut chaff and hay, the whole of which will be the better for being made damp with water." Australian Meat. The Australian correspondent of the Times con siders that the practicability of preserving Australian meat and making it pay has been satisfactorily proved by the balance-sheet of the Melbourne Meat Preserving Company for the past half year. Within that period the Company have worked off 160,752 sheep and 590 head of cattle, the former costing £58,313, and the latter £3,298. The expenditure in wages during the half year was £84,213, and the profit as far as computable at pre sent, is set down at £11,265 14s. 3d. The result of this has been a division of 10 per cent., and the directors express a hope that they will be able to announce a still more satisfactory result next year. The Times correspondent adds that several other companies have recently commenced operations, and .that one with a very respectable number of names to its prospectus, is about to place a portion of its shares in the London market. These facts, he thinks, shew that the demand for such meats is increasing rapidly, and that the pro ducts of the company are regarded by a numerous class rather as a luxury thkui as a mere substitute for ordinary butchers' meat. Engineering in Holland. Our Dutch friends are determined to rival the Viceroy, and to have a canal which shall produce another revolution in the commercial world. The Amsterdam Ship Canal, which has been five years in progress, is expected to be completed in about two years' time. It is a work of considerable extent, as a survey of the Dutch capital very plainly shews. The Sand Hills, which separate the \Vykermeer from the North Sea, rise to a considerable height, and form a barrier between Holland and the sea. Amsterdam itself is situated on Lake Y, where it enters the Zuyder Zee. A. dam across Lake Y is being formed near Amsterdam to shut out the waters of PRICE l d. STAMPED 2d. the Zuyder Zee, and the canal is now being formed through the lakes to the North Sea through the sandhills. Piers of concrete are to extend a mile into the sea, and are to enclose an area of 200 acres, dredged to a depth of 24 feet below low water. The canal will have three locks at the North Sea entrance. So soon as the main canal is completed, the lakes will be pumped dry, and 12,500 acres reclaimed. The surface of the canal is to be kept below low water mark, and large pumping engines are being erected to lift 2,000 tons of water per minute. The canal will have a width at the bottom of 88 feet, or I 0 feet more than the Suez Canal. The width at top will be 105 feet, and the depth 23. The locks will be wide enough to admit the largest ships. The works are going on steadily and receive every encourage ment from the Government, which has •guaranteed a portion of the two and a half millions required. The King of Holland, who is honorary president, has inspected the progress of the undertaking, which it is thought will enable Amsterdam to become the chief port for the North German trade. The War in New Zealand. The news from thq...troikilcume colony "ie ve' gratifying. The notorious 3Ttioii been routed by the friendly natives, who killed and made 300 prisoners. The war is supposed td 9 .! over. Most people would have greater confidence in this last supposition, if Te Kooti were killed or a prisoner. He is a desperate villain, the author of most of the massacres, and a man of great influence over the hostile natives. He has been " killed" many times, but invariably comes to life and activity again. THE QUAKER AND THE EARL OF DERBY In the days when Preston was considered " fashion able," ere the requirements of trade had swallowed up nearly every vestige of green parks and .ipacious gardens formerly connected with many town residences—there were in Stoneygate several -neat villas, surrounded by shady trees and luxurious orchards. One of these was occupied by a rather eccentric Quaker, named John • Danson. The house which John occupied was owned by the Earl of Derby, of sporting notoriety. In their early days the embryo Earl and the Quaker boy had been school fellows at the Preston Grammar School, which was then in Stoneygate. The Quaker had been for some time very tardy in paying up his rent, and Mr. Baines, the Earl's agent, had on sundry occasions threatened him with a descent of the " Philistines," in the shape of bailiffs. Oue morning he started off on foot to Knowsley, and gaining admission to the park, walked up to the hall door and - rang. On the footman answering the bell John put the simple question —" Is Edward in?" "Edward I" exclaimed the astonished lackey, " what Edward do you mean?' " Edward Stanley. He lives here, doesn't he ? Is he in ? I want to see him," replied the Quaker. " Go away, you impertinent fellow !' was the indignant rejoinder, and the footman slammed the door in till- Quaker's face. But John was not to be discouraged bi this ungracious reception ; he had come to see the earl, and did see him. The lackey eventually took in his name, and John was immediately ushered into the presence of the noble earl, whom he saluted with—" Well, Edward, how art thou getting ?" = " Very well, thank you, John, ' replied his lordship, extending his hand and warmly shaking that of his visitor. " It's a long time since thee and me went to Preston Grammar School together," added the blunt Quaker."—" It is indeed, John, a very long time," replied his lordship. '• lam very glad to see you. How are you Knowsley? a long ? And what has brought you over to ICnowsley?" " I am sorry to say," responded John, " that I've but been getting on very badly lately. I cannot raise brass to pay my rent, and that man of thine at Preston Baines—he's a vast saucy fellow—says if I don't pay up before next Thursday he'll send th' bums. So I've come to as thee to give me a bit longer time.' " Well, John," said his lordship, " I suppose you've been rather unfOrtunate lately so' I'll forgive you the rent altogether. And," added his lordship, " I'll tell you what I'll do further. You may live in the house rent free as long as you do live." John's protestations of grati tude for this act of generosity were unbounded. - He took his departure from Knowsley with a -much lighter heart than w hen a »roaciiing it. Some time after John's visit to Knowde , g one the race weeks, Lord Derby, when proceeding to Cock Pit to join in his favourite sport, met John in Stoneygate, when after a friendly salute, the latter said, " I see, Ed ward, thou hasn't given up shy silly, sinful practices yet !" " No, John," replied the Earl, " I have not ! But if all my tenants paid their rents as you do, I should very soon have to give it up altogether." And with this rebuke his lordship walked on.—Oldhala Standard. TRIAL OF A CLERGYMAN. The New York, Herald of the 4th publishes a strange report of a trial. It begins with a quotation from S. Mark VII.. 18, 19, and then proceeds thus :—The trial of the Rev. Charles B. Smyth for drinking gin and milk on the Sabbath was solemnly commenced yesterday. The occasion was an august one, while the impressive proceedings inspired a feeling of awe and reve rence. The hall of justice was the Eleventh street United Presbyterian Church and the tribunal the first United Presbyterian Presbytery of New York, comprising the following reverend gen tlemen G. Findley, Moderator ; A. C. Triss, T. Harper, D.D., J. Harper, T. Armstrong, Robert Harper Mr. Thompson, and Elder Isaac M`Gay. They were all dressed in ominous black. The reverend gentleman was arraigned on the complaint of John Rosenborough and Harman C. Henderson, members of the church, who complain that according to an article published in the Sun on the 11th of April last, Charles B. Smyth, minister and pastor of the church in question, was, on Sabbath day, guilty of the following misdemeanours :—" After he had finished the sermon Smyth called together the six re porters who were present, and asked them to take some refreshments. Then he led them to a well-known liquor and refreshment saloon on the avenue near by, and they passed in by the private door. Beefsteaks and oysters having been ordered, Smyth turned to the reporters, and asked them what they would drink. Their orders having been given, he himself requested the bar-keeper to bring him ' some of the same.' This turned out to be gin and milk, of the former of which liquids his reverence took five fingers, swallowing the dose with evi dent relish. The viands having been disposed of, all arose to leave, and Mr. Smyth, turning to the bar-keeper, care lessly requested him to ' hang that up.' The bar keeper, who seemed to know him, said, ' All right,' and the party passed out and separated." This was the crime that sent the flutter among the reverential hearts of some Pharisees—the terrible out rage for which the reverend gentleman was to undergo a public trial. He faced it like a man. A petition was presented praying for Mr. Smyth's dismissal from the pastoral office. Witnesses were examined, and the reverend gentleman delivered an eloquent address in his defence, in which he stated that he was suffering from physical exhaustion when the heinous offence was com mitted. Had there boen an intelligent jury of Christians empanelled they would (says the Herald) have instantly acquitted the accused. But with a remarkable coolness several of the members of the Presbytery rose. like so many icicles, and with the hypocritical dignity and reve rence of so many scribes, condemned the conduct of the reverend gentleman, whose talent and popularity were, perhaps, the only barriers to his immediate acquittal. Three-fourths of them said they loved him clearly, but failed not to put in a clincher against him. After much Pharisaical reprehension, in face of all the favourable testimony, the matter was referred to a committee of three, consisting of the Re". Dr. Harper, Elder M`Gay, and James Harper, to report, and the investigation was brought to a close. POSTAL TELEGRAPHS.—The number of telegraph messages sent for delivery in the City of London in the week ending May 14, was 17,588, sheaving an increase of 1,127 over the number sent out in the preceding week. FISH. TITHES.—On Saturday, 200 gallons of train oil and a quantity of salt were seized and sold by the agent of the Rev. H. A. Baumgartner, vicar of Meva gissey, Cornwall, from the stores of Messrs. Fox and Co., in distress for fish tithes. About half the market value was obtained. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1871.—Her Majesty the Queen has expressed her intention to givela prize of 1,000 francs (R4O) for the best fan, painted or sculptured by a female artist under twenty-five years of age, and exhibited next year. The competition will be international. A. story . comes from Monticello, Kansas, which recalls the most fearful features of the old days of blood in the Southwest. Two influential citizens of that town, having quarrelled, fought the old traditional duel with knives and pistols in a dark room. When the door was broken open, one of them was found with his throat cut and the other shot through the lungs. A. Constantinople correspondent says that a brother of the Greek brigand Arvanitaki has for some years kept a small retail shop in Pera. His conduct has always been good, and he can hardly by possibility have had anything to do with the massacre at Marathon ; nevertheless, so much popular feeling has been excited against him that he has had to hide himself to escape personal violence. The Government Bill to amend the law of succes sion to real estate, which was published yesterday, has an importance much in excess of its length. The gist of the proposed measure lies in the third clause, which de clares that " Where any person dies after the passing of this Act intestate as to any real estate, such real estate shall pass to and be dealt with by his personal represen tative in the same manner, with the same incidents, for the same purposes, and upon the same trusts, as if it were personal estate as to which he had died intestate." e rcise Ris b 9 great ferrie s ;dew Tom I, ♦vas ding ) y the out of about New 1 the lots The F bad 1 that Is the vbich I not *the (lan - 'rime farios airie, 1, as eves The meet ed to f the Tern - 7 ard vith pizo BaY from ,vder .seo7 rVa" and run' 250 wing be leads G res, the !ntlY I, I s ~,eXd d at oOn %ke ' der ;to'? will 3 jo , in v"
