"It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinera r y , but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is exploring. Foi intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to g ive a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." Still " Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. "Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back to back Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well got up.' " Eastern Morning News. " We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Corawall, it is, nevertheless,• a book that will afford the kee nest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. " The articles chew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants — reliable information."—Western Daily Press. - CHARLTON TUCKER, 21, Northumberland-street, Charing Cross.

Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the ` Gazette du Midi," July 25th. (Cure No. 48,412):—"R0me, July 21st, ISM—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.

DEATH OF LORD CLARENDON After a I,rief illness the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, died on Monday morning. For some little while the deceased peer had been ailing ; but no high importance was attached to the symptoms, nor did they greatly interfere with the performance of :his duty. Only last' Thursday the Earl was examined before the Select Committee on the diplomatic ser vice. On the following day, however, he was seized with a complaint which is described as diarrhoea. Sunday chewed a great change for the better ; and on Monday the Times published a confident assurance of speedy re covery. Immediately after the publication of that jour nal—at six o'clock the same morning—the statesman died. His family is illustrious ; its name stretches far back into the annals of England. The late representative, George William Frederick Villiers, K. G. , G. C. B. , P. C. , and D.C.L., was the fourth earl of the title, and was the son of the Hon. George Villiers, himself the third son of the first earl. "The late statesman's predecessor was John Charles, third Earl of Clarendon, who succeeded his brother in 1824, the late representative taking the peerage in 1838. The subject of this notice was born on January 12th, 1800, and therefore dies at the age of seventy. In 1839 he married Lady Katherine Grimston, eldest s daughter of the iirstTarl of Verulam. By her he had three sons, Edward, Lord Hyde, born in 1846 ; George Patrick Hyde, bornin 1847 ; and Francis Hyde, born in 1852. Three daughters, all older than the sons, complete the family. They are Constance, born in 1840, and mar ried in 1864 ; Alice, born in 1841, and married to Lord Skelmersdale in 1860 ; and Emily Theresa, born in 1843. One brother of the late Earl is the well-known Eight Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers, the advocate of Free Trade. The late Foreign Secretary entered the diplomatic ser vice early in life, and this act determined the character of his career as a politician. To the last he was rather a diplomatist than a statesman. After completing his edu cation at Cambridge, he took a commissionership of Excise at Dublin, and in this office displayed considerable abilities. After the regulation amount of waiting, he obtained higher employment. In IS3I he arranged a commercial treaty with France, and in 1833 became Minister Plenipotentiary at Madrid. This post he retained until 1839, returning to England and taking his seat in the House of Lords after the title devolved upon him. Work was soon found for him in England. In 1840 he became Lord Privy Seal in the Melbourne Administration ; and before the end of the same year he took the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster. In 1841 Sir Robert Peel came into power, but in 1846 Lord John Russell's turn arrived, and Lord Clarendon was made President of the Board of Trade. A higher dignity soon awaited him. Shortly after his accession to the Board of Trade he was offered the Lord- Lieutenancy of Ireland, and commenced his period of office early in 1847. Needless to say how arduous were his labours. He governed the island until 1852—the time of the famine, and the most trying term, perhaps, in the recent history of Ireland. He was re lieved of his thankless office by the resignation of the Ministry, and the succession to power of the Earl of Eglinton. Soon Lord Clarendon returned to a more familiar sphere of labour. In 1853 he was invited to take the Foreign Office. Here very exceptional and remark able testimony to his services was borne by the Cabinets of the day. When Lord Aberdeen's Ministry fell in February 1855, the Earl of Derby, being sent for by the Queen, expressed a desire to retain his assistance at the Foreign Office; and when Lord Derby failed to form a Cabinet and Lord Palmerston acquired power, the Whig leader followed the example of the Tory. Lord Clarendon remained Foreign Minister until 1858. Great responsi bility fell upon him during that period. The Russian War involved the most difficult points of foreign policy that have arisen since 'Waterloo. Lord Clarendon's course during this period laid him open to some stricture. Befoie the contest it was complained that he displayed some disposition to yield to the Emperor of Russia, and there can be little doubt that he viewed the war with small favour. Much, however, is owing to him on account of his conduct of the difficult negotiations be tween England, France, Sardinia, Austria, and Turkey. When peace was under consideration Lord Clarendon went to Paris, and represented England at the con ference in conjunction with Earl Cowley. On this occasion he acted with firmness in exacting due conditions from Russia, and especially in respect of her right to the Isle of Serpents. After the defeat of the Palmerston Ministry on the Conspiracy Bill, Lord Claren don did not again take office, his post—to the disadvantage of the country in the opinion of many people—being filled up by Lord John Russell. For six years the Earl of Clarendon took no active part in politics. In 1862 he was named by the Queen one of a committee to carry out the project for erecting a memorial to Prince Albert, the other members being the late Earl of Derby, Sir Charles Eastlake, and Mr. Cubitt, then Lord Mayor of London. In 1864 Lord Clarendon again came to the front as Chan cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. In the Cabinet formed by Earl Russell, after the death of Lord Palmer ston, the Earl of Clarendon took his old post as Foreign Secretary. When the Gladstone Ministry acceded to power he resumed the old familiar office, and was Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs when he died. Lord Clarendon's later policy is matter of recent con temporary history. It was in the main a policy of peace, but he did not push the doctrine of non-interference very far, and in the recent Greek affair he took a prominent part in arranging the conference which resulted in the humiliation of the little kingdom. In this affair England supported Austria in discounte nancing the discreditable practices by which the Greeks kept up the insurrection in Crete, that insurrection being entirely fomented by Greek aid ; and notwithstanding the resistance of Russia, the terms agreed upon at the conference were so favourable to Turkey as to give that State a new lease of life. In the quarrel between the Porte and the Khedive of Egypt, Lord Cla rendon also interfered, though with much less reason, in the interests of Turkey. In the ne gotiations which are still unsettled between Eng land and America, touching the Alabama claims, Lord Clarendon was fully at one with his predecessor, the pre sent Earl of Derby. He was willing to consent to a settlement, but not to such a settlement as would com promise the honour of England. A short time ago the deceased earl returned from a visit to the continent, and expressed the cpinion that the relations between the various States were never before in a condition so favour able to peace. Every body knows what was the last melancholy affair which engaged his. lordship's attention. The inquiry into the wretched brigandage muddle was on the way when the statesman died. This loss places a vacant garter in the hands of her Majesty, and deprives the Queen's University of its Chan cellor. Lord Clarendon will be succeeded in his title by his son, Lord Hyde, whose removal from the House of Commons to the House of Perrs will create a vacancy in the representation of Brecon. Mr. Howes, M.P., continues rather seriously indis posed. The honourable ..gentleman is ordered to remaln strictly quiet. A LLEGED ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. — On Saturday morning an attempt at murder, followed by an attempt to commit suicide, took place at the Great Seal Patent Office, Southampton-buildings, Chancery lane. Mr. Tomlinson, a clerk, was taking his lunch in his office, when he suddenly r eceived a severe blow on the head, and on turning round perceived his assailant to ba a man named Jerman, e mployed about the building in carrying coals, &c. He was armed with a special con stable's staff, which was split in half by the force of the blow. Mr. Tomlinson immediately grappled with him, but the man ultimately escaped by means of the window and slid down the gutter pipe into the yard, where he entered a watercloset and endeavoured to commit suicide by cutting his throat. Hearing the disturbance, a clerk, occupiedin an adjoining room, entered Mr. Tomlinson's office, and on seeing Jerman escape, proceeded to the closet which he had entered, and found him bleeding from a wound in the throat. On further assistance arriving he was removed to King's College Hospital, where the wound was stated not to be of a serious nature. Mr. Tomlinson was fortu nately so little injured that he was able to return home shortly after the occurrence. Upon making inquiries yesterday morning, it was ascertained that Jermyn was in a very dangerous state. He was still lying in King's College Hospital, and up to that time he had not been able to speak. He was, however, conscious. The wound which he had made with a penknife across his throat had completely severed the windpipe and the jugular vein. Mr. Tomlinson, although still suffering from the effects of the blows inflicted upon his head, was progressing favour ably, and it is now thought that he is out of danger. J UNE 28, 1870 PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. SUNDAY EVENING. The municipal difficulty has aroused all the energies of our orators. M. Jules Favre's speech in favour of the nomination of the mayors by the municipal councils is gene rally regarded as one of his best efforts. The amend ment was, notwithstanding rejected by the Chamber, but we all know how much importance to attach to its expression of the popular sentiments. M. 011ivier, of course, opposed the amendment in question, and I under stand he intends to offer the sathe uncompromising opposi tionto the return of the Orleanist princes to France. It is rumoured that the Emperor will regard as a personal affront every vote given in favour of the petition. Yesterday there was something like a scene among the deputies, the mayors being, of course, like Queveda's model woman, at the bottom of allthe mischief. M. Prax-Paradol was holding forth on the right of Government to nominate the mayors direct. Being a mayor himself, the deputy for Montauban has, of course, good reason to appreciate - the enlightenment and sagacity of the official selection ! To withhold this right from the Government. says M. Prax • Paradol, would be to disarm the Crown !—(a phrase for which the Siecle, by the bye, ridicules him unsparingly.) M. Granier de Cassagnac and others followed, and the rival parties VeTame excited. " There is no law against the right," cried M. Ernest Picard ; " only materialists and courtiers deny the existence of a primeval right superior to all your projects of law !" Upon this there , arose a commotion, which M. Schneider endeavoured to quell. Let these irritating subjects, he said, be reserved for outside. M. Arago thereupon changed the excite ment into laughter by quietly remarking to -the Government, " You see it will be neces sary for you to provide us with arenas !" The Government would have given him anything in reason, I dare say, at that moment, so grateful were they for the lucky snot which averted the storm. Nothing dis arms an angry assembly like a fit of laughter, and the deputies, conscious they had been looking and speaking like so many gladiators, were content to resume their discussions with more calmness, and to leave " fighting it out " till another opportunity. Monetary matters will be our next trouble when we have laid the ghosts of M.M. les Maires. The Consti tutional Left has held a meeting, at which it was decided that particular attention should be given to matters con nected with the Budget, and that M. Picard should be the first to speak on the 4th of July, the day for opening the discussion on the Budget. The heat is still great. At Lyons there is an absolute scarcity of water, and the murmurs of the public are growing so loud that the town authorities will be forced to take fresh measures to procure a systematic supply as Paris has done. We have not, however, much to boast of even in the eapital. The Prefect of the Seine has just sent round a circular to the traders of Paris de siring them to use as little water as possible. Figaro learns that the watering of the town has been sensibly diminished of late. Happily, better accounts have lately been received of the harvest, and the good effects have already exhibited themselves on the Bourse. Bread made from this year's wheat, grown in Algeria, is now selling in some of the baker's shops. One of our elegantes, yesterday, parodied a mot of Madame de Stael, who sent her compliments to the sun shine, by a gentleman leaving England for France. In the same way a member of the court, on leaving France for a good long voyage, bade farewell to a lady who bade him if ever he should meet the rain tell it how much it was needed in Paris. Great excitement has been occasioned in the religious and political world by Cardinal Guid's speech at the Council. It has been looked upon as an event, and it may yet have an important influence on the ultimate decisions of the august assembly. The Cardinal is one of the most notable prelates of Italy, and he was sup posed to favour the dogma of infallibility, but it is now thought that his discourse against it will arrest the course of the Ultramontanes with respect to the closing of the deliberations. The Univers has main- tained a complete silence regarding the Cardinal's manifestation of opinion. Another distinguished visitorwill shortly arrive in France, Marshal Prim having announced his intention of trying the waters of Vichy. When he retums to Madrid a general amnesty will be proclaimed. It was reported that Prince Charles, of Roumania, had been assassinated, but on inquiry the rumour turns out to be unfounded. The Turkish police are seeking for the origin of this report, which caused great consternation at first. Yesterday the abdication of Queen Isabella took place. The partizans of her cause attach great importance to this act of a bdication, to which , a fter long hesitation, she has consented, but it is difficult to see what difference it can make. The chances of a restoration are about equal as regards Isabella the Second and Alphonso the Twelfth. There is no likelihood of Madrid concerning itself with the affair of the Hotel asilewski, and the Cortes have already given themselves four months holiday. A strange story is afloat concerning the withdrawal of the troops from Rome. It is said that some of the deputies of the Right became alarmed at the risk which the Holy See might incur in the event of the withdrawal of the French troops during the recess. They informed the Duke de Gramont of their fears, and he assured them that the Government would in its constitutional spirit call the Chambers together, rather than take upon itself the sole responsibility of such an act. We shall never hear the last of strikes. The last news is that the carpenters of Marseilles have struck work, and ask for an hour's diminution of work without any reduc tion of wages. The Rouen carpenters are about to follow their example. At Orleans some unpleasant consequences have ensued from the strike of the ironfounders. Several inhabitants are anxious to procure water from the town, but in the absence of the ironfounders it has been impossi ble to procure turn-cocks for turning on the water. THE GREEK MURDERS.— The he Independanc ng- e Italienne denies t rumour that a int note from land and Italy on the subject of the jo Greek massacre E will shortly be addressed to the Greek Government. REPORTED BATTLE IN LA PLATA.—The Memo morirl Diplomatique of Saturday evening publishes news, without date, from La Plata, announcing that a battle has taken place between the Argentine forces under • General Conesa, and the insurgents under General Lopez Jordan. At the first shock of cavalry General Jordan scattered the right wing of General Conesa's army, but the Argentine infantry afterwards routed General Jor dan's corps, which was compelled to retreat. PRUSSIA AND THE ST. GOTHARD RAILWAY.—The The Berlin Correspondent of the Agence Havas says that much suprised hasbeen expressedatthe suppression by the Moniteur Prussien of the passage in the Duke de Gram mart's speech relative to Count Bismarck, and adds that the suppression was not confined to the Moniteur Prus sien. The passage was omitted in the telegram sent from Paris to all the Prussian papers, and in the accounts given of the sitting of the Corps L4gislatiff the same paragraph in the speech was so altered as to be scarcely recognisable. THE PROCLAMATION OF INFALLIBILITY.—The Roman correspondent of the Memorial Diplomatique says that the Pope will not be able to fulfil his intention of proclaiming the Dogma of Infallibilty on St. Peter's Day, on account of the long debates which have taken place. At the last date more than seventy Fathers had their names down to speak on the fourth article of the Schema relative to the Dogma. Certain bishops, believing that the cause had been sufficiently argued, proposed to close the discussion, after the fashion adopted on the third of the month, but Pius IX, having been informed of their intention, forbade them to carry it out. He advised the Cardinal Legates to accord liberty of speech to all those whose names were down. It is, therefore, uncertain when the debates on the Council will , be closed, or when the solemn proclamation will take place. M. DE LESSEP'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL.—Satur day was occupied by M. de Lesseys in visiting the chief objects of commercial and general interest connected with the town and port of Liverpool, including the St. George's Hall, Free Public Library and Museum, the warehouses recently completed by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, and the principal docks. The steam tender Alert having been placed by the dock board at M. de Lesseps' disposal for a cruise on the river, he had a good oppor tunity of appreciating not only the great extent of the dock range, but the massive and handsome character of the masonry of the walls, locks ' and towers. He was greatly interested and gratified. M. de Lesseps was ac comp tilled by Mr. D. A. Lange, and by a number of the leading commercial men of the town. Yesterday ad dresses from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and the East India and China Association were presented to him at the Town Hall. The mayor invited the members of the Town Council and the Mersey Dock Board to be present on the occasion. PRICE ld STAMPED 2d. DEATH OF THE EARL OF HADDINOTON. The death of the Earl of Haddington is announced. The melancholy event occurred on Saturday, after a short illness. The deceased nobleman, George Bailie Hamilton, eldest son of the late Mr. George Baillie, of Jerviswoode, by Mary, youngest daughter of the late Sir J. Pringle, Bart., was born at Mallerston, near Kelso, on the 14th of April, 1802, and was brother of the late Marchioness of Breadalbane,the Countess of Aberdeen, Lady Polwarth, and the Countess Ashburnham. He married, 16th September, - 1824, Georgiana, daughter of the Yen. Archdeacon Robert Markham. The late earl succeeded to the peerage in 1858, on the death of his cousin,. Thomas Hamilton, 9th Earl of Haddington, who died sane prole. He was appointed a lord in waiting to the Queen in Sep tember, 1867, having previously, in April, 1859, been a representative peer for Scotland, and his lordship was High Commissioner to the Church of Scotland from- May 1867 till the resignation of Lord Derby. His lord ship was also appointed a deputy-lieutenant-of Roxburgh shire in 1831, and of Haddingtonshire in 1851, and was a deputy-lieutenant of Berwickshire. In 1861 he was appointed colonel-commandant of the East Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry. The first peer of the family, an eminent Scotch advocate, was ennobled in 1562. He became first Earl of Melrose, a title he subsequently changed for that of Earl of Haddington. The Earls of Haddington were the heriditary keepers of Holyrood-park from the reign of Charles 11. till 1843, when the late earl's kinsman compromised the family interest for a pecuniary compensation of £40,000, and the office is consequently now abolished.- The dece...l peer is- succeeded in the family honours by his son, Geo'ro - e, Loru Binning, born 26th July, 1827, and married 1 7th October, 1854, to Helen, second daughter of Sir John Warrender, Bart., by the Hon. Frances Henrietta Arden, by whom there is a youthful family. REVISION OF THE AUTHORISED - VERSION. It maybe interesting to recall a scene which was briefly noticed in the columns of the Times as having occurred during the past week, and which gives a pleasing augury for a- better feeling between the contending factions of Church and State. We refer to the participation in the Holy Communion by the Company of the Revisers of the Authorised Version of the New Testament, which occurred in Henry Vll.'s Chapel in Westminster Abbey, preparatory to their entrance an...their important work. A notice had been issued to each of the body, to the effect that the Sacrement would be administered there, on the day of their first meeting, to such of the body as should feel disposed to attand. Some few were prevented from appearing ; but at the hour named as many astwenty presented themselves, and were placed .in the ancient stalls of the chapel. No one else assisted. The Dean read the service from the Communion table at the head of Henry Vll.'s tomb. It so happened that this table thus received its first use. It had within a few days past replaced a temporary table, having as the inscription round it records, been erected in the place of the ancient altar which once indicated the spot where Edward VI. was buried, probably to meet the wishes of his sister Mary, and had been destroyed by the Puritans in the civil war. On the marble slab which covers its top is placed the fragment of the beautifully carved frieze of the lost altar, found unexpectedly last year in Edward Vl.'s grave, together with other frag ments of ruined altars which happened to be at hand for a like purpose. In front of this table, thus itself F monument of extinct strifes of. former days, and round the grave of the youthful Protestant King, in whose reign. the English Bible first received its acknowledged place in the coronation of the Sovereign; as well as its free and general circulation throughout the people, knelt together the band of scholars and divines, con sisting of representatives of almost every form of Christian belief in England. There were bishops of the Established Church, two of them by their venerable years connected with the past generation ; there were the representatives of our historic Cathedrals and Collegiate Churches, of our learned Universities, of our laborious parochial charges, and of our chief ecclesiastical Convoca tion ; and with these, intermingled without distinction, were ministers of the Established and of the Free Church of Scotland, and of almost every Nonconformist Church in England—lndependent, Baptist, Wesleyan, Uni tarian. It is not to be supposed that each one of those present entered with equal agreement into every part of the service ; but it is surely not without a hopeful significance that neither on the side of the Church nor of Nonconformity was there any " religious difficulty " raised as to a joint participation on such an occasion in the most venerable and sacred ordinance of the Christian religion. The chapel of Henry VII. has witnessed many famous sights, more august and more stirring—the funerals of kings and princes, of nobles, generals, and statesmen ; the debates of the Westminster Assembly and of the Convocations of the English Church ; the installation of the Knights of the Bath, whose banners wave from the roof, and whose swords were deposited beneath the altar raised on that spot. But it may be doubted whether it has ever been the scene of an event so fraught, if rightly considered, with possibilities of kindly inter course between jarring factions, and pacific solution of warring problems, as that which happened, silent and unobserved, on the 22nd of June. THE PROSPECTS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Dr. Fraser, the Bishop of Manchester, in addressing a demonstration of upwards of 15,000 Church of England Sunday-school scholars at Blackburn Corporation-park on Saturday, said he never saw in his life such a spectacle as then met his eyes ; he never saw before him so large a congregation, and the sight of so many thousand Church of England Sunday-school scholars filled his heart with mingled feelings, partly of encouragement and partly of depression and anxiety. The depression on his mind was that of his own weakness and incapacity in attempting to be he Bishop of such a large population as that oeLanca shire, and he feared that he should prove unequal to the mighty task which lay before him. There was a time when Bishops were seldom seen in popular assemblies of that kind—when they stood upon the dignity of their Order. He believed the Bishops of the present generation had found that their strength was in comity , into the most immediate and direct contract with the ' people. A friend of his who lived in old times and ancient memories, and looked doubtfully upon the changes that he saw going on all round about him, once told him that he thought the days of the Church of England were numbered when the Bishops left off wearing their wigs. He sometimes went into circles where he heard a very croaking tone about the pros pects of the Church of England. Looking round that great gathering, he confessed to his mind being very much lifted up, not only regarding the present of the Church of England, but still more regarding thefuture of the Church of England. He believed there never was a greater opportunity for usefulness, and a greater scope for putting forth all her energies, than is now laid out before the Church of England, if she would only rise to the occasion, and prove herself worthy of the oppor tunity. The Church of England must not simply be the church of the nobility, or of the aristocracy, or of the wealth of the land, but of the whole people ; and she must be tolerant, catholic, evangelical, com prehensive, and conciliatory. Her strength lay not in her Bishops, though they no doubt were of use in their places, not even in their clergy, though they did a thousand times more to strengthen her than the body of the Bishops ; but the strength of the Church of England lay in a staunch, faithful, and consistent laity. They must take their stand upon the ancient principles that had characterised our constitution in Church and State, be loyal to their own principles, yet temperate and moderate towards the principles of those who differed from them—not in a spirit of compromise, which he understood to be a watering down of principles till they become so weak that thy could not distinguish them from the similarly watered down opinions of those who differed from them—not in a spirit of " toleration," because that was almost insulting to men who lived on the free soil of England, but of broad sympathy and mutual conciliation. There was a time when it was believed by rulers in high places that the strength of the Church of England depended upon Acts of Parliament and upon repressive laws prohibiting meeting-houses to be opened there and conventicles there, but all those things were relics of the dark ages when men did not understand the temper of the English people or the true temper of their own Church. The Church was now standing forth in her strength and spreading out her arms wider and wider, and gathering more and more into her fold, by teaching the better lesson of Christian charity and mutual conciliation. He ventured to prophesy that fifty years hence Englishmen who would be living then would be living on a soil which would be inhabited by a race still more happy, still more educated, still more civilised, still more united, and in the highest sense still more religious than the race which treads the English soil now. SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.—TWO proposals have been presented to the Chamber of Deputies of Rio Janeiro which pronounce the freedom of all children who shall be born of slave parents. These plans are as yet imperfect, but they are an indication of the state of things, and afford promise of future improvement. They have been referred to the examination of a special commission. A LADY KILLED IN THE LONDON STREETS.—On Saturday Mr. Payne, the deputy coroner held two in quests respecting the death of Miss Maria Gleadow, aged sixty-four years, at Guy's Hospital, and the other on Maria Sanson, aged two years, at St. Bartholomew's. Miss Gleadow was a sister of Mr. Gleadow, a professor of music, living at 8, Doctor-street, Walworth, and sh e was single lady. Mr. G. Hanson,llo,New North- road, Islington, stated that at six o'clock on Monday evening, while he was driving a pony and trap through High-street, Borough, he saw the deceased crossing the road in front of his pony's head. He called out to her, and she then ran against a three-horse omnibus that was going to Camberwell. The horses struck her and she fell into the roadway. The wheels passed over her body. The driver of the omnibus called out to her, but he was not able to pull up in time to prevent the accident. The police carried the lady to Guy's Hospital, where she expired on Thursday from the effects of her injuries. A verdiat of " Accidental death " was recorded. DEPUTATION TO MR. FORSTE R. A deputation of working-men delegates, representing the different trade societies of the metropolis, had an in terview with Mr. Forster, at the Privy Council Office, o n Saturday, respecting the Government Education Bill. Mr. Forster was addressed by Messrs. Cremer, Lucraft, Mot tershead, Osborne, Niess, Sutter, Stafford, and others. They found fault with the Government Bill because it allowed a further extension of the denominational system, did not restrict education to strictly secular subjects, and did not make compulsion general. Mr. Forster, in reply, said—lt is evident to me that on one or two points you are under a complete misappre hension about the bill. First, you suppose Che Irish ques tion has had something to do with it. Now, if I have not forfeited in your minds all claim to credit and belief, take it from me that your supposition is an utter delu sion, and altogether erroneous. There is no compact whatever, and I must say, speaking plainly as I do, that your supposition, if it does exist, must arise from want of knowledge of facts. The fact of the matter, is this, that this bill, as brought toward by me originally, and especially in its present form, is less denominational than the present system in Ireland, and therefore the idea that, by carrying this bill we should be_ improving the status of the denominational party in Ireland is an entire delusion, and not founded on fact. I am satisfied I should have no difficulty in convincing you if I could find time to go into the matter with one or two of you alone. With regard to the remarks on the subject of the vestries, they are based on the state of the metropolis, and I am very glad to have heard them, for they are useful information. We have never pledged ourselves to any particular mode of elec tion of school boards in the metropolis. I have always said that one of the greatest practical difficulties was the state of the metropolis, not merely in education, but in ordinary respects ; and all I can say is, that if we can find a better way of dealing with the matter, I - shall be very glad to do so. The principles on which we desire to elect the school boards throughout the country are to get the best boards possible, and to get them by the expres sion of the wish of the parents. If that be not according to the present plan in the metropolis, I dare say we may find out something better. But as regards elections generally throughout the country, there is no qualifica tion or restriction whatever 'on the members of the board They may be, and no doubt often would be, working men who have gained the confidence of their neighbours by their knowledge of education. There is nothing even to prevent there being women, if they had a lolowledge of the question. 'With regard to the con science clause, it is a mistake to suppose it does not carefully provide that there should be no compulsion of any kind on a parent to send his child to any religious teaching, denominational or otherwise, Bible-reading, or sectarian, which he dislikes. That was the original inten tion of the bill, and the conscience clause as now framed makes it impossible such a thing could happen. All that a parent has to do is to keep his child away, or to tell'the schoolmaster that he is to be kept away. The punishment to the schoolmaster and the school,if they do not obey the injunction is the loss of all the money to be received from the Government • the penalty, therefore, is of the strongest description. Arith regard to compulsion, I may acknowledge that I have a more advanced opinion about that than many other persons, but you cannot compel attendance till you have compelled provision for the school. The deputation then withdrew. . The Echo believes that the Government intend to accept the amendments of Mr. Torrens with reference to the electionof a School Board for the metropolis, adopting the ,Parliamentary divisions, and election by the rate payers, the expense to be defrayed out of the Common Poor Fund.
