'E WS The casual ward accommodation in London for street wanderers is very different from what it was before the operations of the Ifouscless Poor Act com plied the "Refuges" to provide a decent nigh t's lodging to all applicants. The committee of the Field-lane Refuge have carried out their work in a manner that has resulted in 'much undeniable good to many of those who have come under their care. In 1868, we aro told, 3,109 males and 1,600 females were admitted, • and of this number, no less than 1,479 have either had employ , meat secured for them, or have been in some way provided for, many obtaining situations as domestic servants. During the last year, 3,027 males and 1,805 females were - admitted, for whom 1,647 were secured employment. Tho refuges, therefore, aim not merely at providing the vagrant with a night's lodging, and supper and breakfast, but to raise him, if possible, from destitution to comparative respec tability.

Our correspondent at Rome, writing on the 43rd inst., says that the report of Monsignor Strossmayer's attempted assassination is perfectly false, and there is not even a shadow of foundation for it, unless it be that a week after the Council !net one of the German bishops was assaulted by ordinary miners in Trastevere, who tried to rob Lim of his pas toral cross and chain. " The bishop struggled, and the robbers took to their heels, carrying off the chain, which to their disappointment turned out to be made of brass They were arrested next day, and the story forgotten till it turned up in a new and improved form, applied to the Bishop of Bosnia, who was more surprised than any one when he heard of the crime of which ho d nearly been the victim. The unfortunate victim of the deputy Matins has died of the effects of the wound be received a year and a-half since, while kneeling before the altar of the Carita in Naples. Your readers will remember that the shot was fired by Matins from an upper window commanding the church. It was intended to assassinate the cardinal archbishop. Signor Marziani was the architect laureate of the University of Naples, where he had taken sery high honours, and was distinguished by his aimable character and blameless life. lie was only 25 when he sunk under the weakness brought on by amputation of the thighs. The affair has caused a great sensation in Naples, especially as his murderer, a deputy of the Italian Parliament, has been allowed to escape with impunity, and having been condemned by default for homicide, has been permitted to return to his own house unmolested by justice."

THE ART EXHIBITION AT ROME. fteapzations are making for the Art Exhibition at Rom% and works are arriving from all parts. Bliratti Brothers, the great Roman printers, are preparing a superb edition of the "Codex Vaticanus " on parchment, and of the " Pater Noster," in 250 languages, in 180 different characters, and 300 vignettes. A Bible and missal are also in type, which are chefs d'ceurre of typography and binding. The Propa ganda Press has been charged witlo r AtsoAak. Several magnificent archaeological works on the Catacombs, Rossi it Roma, Lotteranca, Porret's Catacombs, and Father Mulloly's " San Clemente," all noble specimens of chromolithography, will be exhibited in the form of proof copies and margins, and Monte Cassino will exhibit some of the pages of its new catalogue of MSS., with chromo-lithographic fac similes. The gold and silver plate of the Sistine and St. Peter's, the richest and most ancient reliquaries of the different Basilicas, the embroidery of half the Sacristies of Rome, will be brought before the art student in a classified form. The Messageries Imperiales undertake to deliver all objects at a reduction of 50 per cent. on the rates of carriage from Marseilles, and the rail way, give a reduction of 33 per cent. The exhibition will open on the 15th of February. TUE AUSTRIAN REICIISRATIL A. telegram from Vienna, dated the 27th, states that during the discussion of the Address, the deputies of the German Tyrol declared that they would resign their seats on account of the incompatibility existing between the Constitution and the rights of the Tyrol. The deputies of the Italian Tyrol declared that thoy should remain in the Reichsrath and would be faithful to the Constitution. RUSSIAN PROGRESS IN CENTRAL ASIA. The Goloss, of St. Petersburg, does not coincide with M. Vambery's views on Central Asian politics, and declafes that the progress of Russia in Central Asia began much earlier than he supposes. In 1700 an envoy from the Khan of Khiva appeared in Moscow to present the Czar, Peter the Great, with a letter from the Khan, in which he asked that his country might be incorporated with the Russian Empire. Tu 1714, and again in 1716, Prince Bekovitch-Tcherkaski was sent to make the necessary preparations for construct ing a fortress in the harbour of Krasnovodosk, and the stronghold was eventually built by Colonel Van der Binden, but it was abandoned shortly after, having been besieged by the Turcomans. The ruins of this fortress still exist. The Goloss shows that these facts prove the occupation of the Bay of Krasnovodosk to be by no means a new idea, but a Russian historical tradition. It states that the immediate object of Russian policy in Central Asia is Bokhara, and that Russia is in possession of the best road to that country by Samarcand, which passes through populous districts. THE RED RIVER INSURGENTS. The Tall Mall Ga:ette has a special telegram from New Yoras., which states that the Government organ of Toronto blames Governor M`Dougall by implication, and says that any attempt at rebellion or, _movement in favour of annexation to the United States will bo promptly suppro3sed. At the same time the just demands of the half-breeds will be carefully considered. It is added that the responsibility of completing the trans fer of territory rests with the Imperial Government and the Hudson's Bay Company: The Government are said to fully advised of the situation, and determined to restore Jrder. Despatches from the Minnesota frontier report tho arrest of the correspondents of the daily papers in Toronto. The details of the execution of Salnavo in llayti have been received. It was brought about through an alliance with the anti-annexation party of. San Domingo, and this ircumstance will, it is expected, delay the execution of Progifilent Grant's treaty for the annexation of thA republic to the United States. THE SIORM.OIi SCHISM. The excitement in Salt Lake City has not abated, and great difference of opinion prevails among the members of the Mormon Church. The organ of Brigham Young hopes that Mr. Cullam's bill will meet with resistance in the event of its passing. The provisions of this bill are to punish polygamy and to enforce the laws in Utah. The House Territorial Committee are to take definite action on the subject, and it stands a fair chance of suc cess, as they are favourably disposed towards it, and as General Cullam will press it to a vote. On the occasion of the last rail being laid on the Utah Central at Salt Lake city, business was suspended, and there was a general rejoicing. This railroad completes the communication between the New Jerusalem and the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Brig ham Young said the railroad was an enterprise, not for the benefit of individuals, but for the whole nation. Utah now wanted to be admitted into the Union. The people wished to lay aside all narrow feelings, and as fellow citizens of the great Republic, join in celebrating this happy day. It looks as if Brigham were getting appr9- lonaive of uncomfortable interference. THE INEQUALITY OF RELIGIOUS ENDOWMENT. One of the most effectual taunts of the Libera tionist has its point in the inequality of the value of Church livings. One minister, who has a large parish, gets a totally insufficient stipend for doing a large amount of work: another, who has absolutely no flock, obtains a great income. Only the other day attention was called to the case of a clergyman who boasted the enormous income of rather more than 12s. per week. A Derby incumbent who is supposed to undertake the spiritual supervison of 4,000 souls, gets £GO; while a - brother clergyman under the same bishop, whose parishioners number about a third of that number, is presented with £2,100. In the diocese of Lichfield there are fifty-eight livings each worth V;00 and upwards a year ; eighty six rectors or vicars whose income from the Church (not including chaplaincies to workhouses and hospitals, &c.) is £lOO each per annum or under; and twelve stipends do not exceed £5O a year. In the same I diocese there are 41 parishes the rectors or vicars of which each receive more than £1 a head per annum for attending to the spiritual welfare of the pari shioners, and in most of those cases the incomes are large. The ecclesiastical district of St. Matthew's, Walsall, contains the largest population in the diocese-38,000, and the income of the vicar is £3OO a year. AUSTDALIAIi ItIE AT. At the.

The Daily News expressos surprise that (luring the supreme struggles of parties in France we have heard but little of what there, not less than in England, is one of the most pressing questions of the hour — Education. One would have thought, it says, that no question is at present more urgent than this of education, which intimately concerns the political attitude of a people to whom universal suffrage has been accorded. Our contemporary chews that the expenditure of the Imperial Government has increased on the average more than £1,000,00() a year, out of which sum the increase during the whole reign for the charges,..>'Thr public instruction has been little more than £500,000. All the rest, it says, had. ben eaten up by the army; the home government, and public works. The writer proceeds to notice the miserable pav of French schoolmasters. He says the general ambition of this functionary in the rural dis tricts is to become secretary of the mayor, who pays him for his evening services uot quite a penny. The wives of schoolmasters OX4 generally seamstresses, who work for some great firms in the neighbouring cities. Their pay is a penny a shirt, or 11d. a dozen. With such facts the Daily News asks if it is to be wondered at that the French press were silent on the question of education in the recent controversies? TIIE LEGALITY OF TRADES' UNIONS. The Court of Criminal Appeal on Saturday decided that oft-disputed point, the legality of trades' unions. The judges unanimously decided that though a trade society's rules be according to a recent decision illegal—in restraint of trade—yet this does not of necessity disable the society from claiming the pro tection of the criminal courts. Though an associa tion be barred from civil action, it is not always shut out from prosecuting a thief. TURF REFORMS, The sporting journals notice Sir Joseph Hawley's scheme of turf reform, and, as might have been expected, with . ,very favour. The Field says that all the proposals are theoretically desirable by those whose interests are not imperilled, but s3veral are totally opposed to the very ex:stereo of the tarf, and - cannot be carried out. "We do not see on what minciple three-year-olds are to be excluded from all handicaps while these , 4 fly' traps are still allowed to exist. We quite agree with the late Lord Derby in his denunciation of all handicaps as premiums on fraud; but why allow four-year-olds and upwards :o be used in this way, - and prohibit all below that ago ?" The-Sportsman is quite savage with the baronet, and. declares that ho is seeking to abolish a system by which he has enriched himself—though what this charge, even if it be true, has to do with the actual merit of the reforms the @Porting authority (toes not say. "It need scarcely POSTAL IRREGULARITIES. A good many "M.D.'s," " D.D.'s," and similar per sonages, are just now airing their experience of post office misdeeds. Their complaints, some of which appear every day in the Daily News, are not remark able for wisdom. One " D.D," bewails that several missives, clearly addressed to him, were dropped into a letter-box several doors off. Tho postman brought a letter which was not for our " D.D.," whereupon the unabashed official asked if the unhappy " D.D." would send it to its destina tion. Another unfortunate person—this time au "M.D."--is indignant that one of his letters, which was under half an ounce, was charged twopence extra. The same letter was afterwards passed for a penny. Both "D.D." and "MM.' call for a better discharge of post-office duties. They would greatly oblige by showing how this is to be effected. It is clear that "D.D." suffered from a careless postman, and that "M.D.'s" overcharged letter was the subject of a mis take. Are carelessness and mistakes to be wholly banished from any largo body of officials, especially a staff so magnificently remunerated as the Post-office clerks and letter-carriers ? Mistakes do occur in postal business, but they are not numerous. In certain cases the servants are fined a portion of their miserable stipends, and it may be concluded, therefore ! that they do not commit errors for the fun of the thing. "D.D." and 46 M.D." shouldn't writa such stuff. OBITUABY. The obituary of Saturday contains tfie name of one around whom the storm of controversy has raged most furiously. Sir Charles Darling, the late Governor of Victoria, died on Tuesday night, in the 61st year of his age. It was about him that the great contest between the Home Government and the Legislative House of Victoria, and finally between the Upper and the Lower Houses of the colony, took place. Sir Charles was very popular in the colony, and on his retirement a vote of 1;20,000 was passed to him. The Government at home, deeminr , that a Governor should be independent entirely of those over whom he ruled, forbade him to take the money. The Lower House of the Colonial Legislature then pro posed to t,),-ive the money to Lady Darlin g ; but the Upper House refused any such arrangement . Then com menced an ever memorable contest. The Assembly tried every means to pass the grant. It was tacked to the Money Bill in order that the Council might pass it; but it was continually rejected in the higher Chamber. Matters at last became really serious—so sharp was the conflict between the two bodies, and so determined was each. The controversy was fully settled, however, by Sir Charles Darling finally refusing the money. The deceased was at one time in the army ; he entered it in 1820, and retired from it in 1841. While still in it, however, he held several diplomatic posts. Ho gradually rose in the now line he had chosen, until he became Lieutenant-Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. From thence he went to take the government of Newfoundland ; and shortly afterwards was appointed Governor of Jamaica. He received the order K.C.B. in 1862, and was next year appointed Governor of Victoria. He was recalled in 1866. MR. MORLI'Y, M.P., ON EDUCATION. There has been no lack of opinion expressed throughout the country on the education question, and those to whom the nation looks as authorities on the subject have differed only in their ideas of the means to be employed for the attainment of the great end—the education of every child in the land. Mr. S. Morley, M.P., in a speech made at a meeting of the Nottingham Ragged Schools, said that he was not inclined to seek to produce any great changes in the system which had brought education up toits present point, lie did not wish to see the question handed over merely to Act of Parliament. His desire was to strengthen the conviction that education was a parental duty, and with the parents among the poor, as much as with those among the better-to-do, lay the re sponsibility. The Legislature should prepare faci lities and present every opportunity to children, but with regard to legislation, the less Government had to do with the people in this respect the better. EFFICIENCY OF THE COAST-GUARD. The Army and :Navy Gazette says that Mr. Childers, the First Lord of the Admiralty, has created quietly and in a most business-like manner, a formid able steam reserve. This consists of the coast-guard ships, which in future are all to be fitted for sea, and ready to receive their men and provisions on board at the shortest possible notice, and to proceed, if necessary, to join the Channel and ➢lediterranean squadrons. The crews will be supplied from the Coastguard and Royal Naval Reserve men of the dif ferent districts. THE ARMY REDUCTIONS. It will be noticed that many rumours are extant regarding the reductions that are to be effected in the army. Much of thecreliable information is suf ficient to show that the changes contemplated are by no means inconsiderable. The John Bull understands that every yeomanry regiment with less than four troops is to be suppressed, and in no case is there to be a second lieutenant-colonel, or a second major. The drills are to be extended from seven days to thirty, and every regiment is to be converted into mounted rifles like the East Kent.. The paper remarks that it would be perhaps more honest to suppress the yeomanry at once, as that will be the practical result of these changes, if they are carried out. The Court Journal says that at a meeting held at the War Office, to which Mr. Cardwell invited several com manding officers of yeomanry, it was stated that no change would be made in the regimental o r g anisation for the year 1870. An extract from the Homeward Mail calls attention to the loss by death of no less than fifty men in the 12th Regiment. Upwards of a hundred of the same regiment are sick in hospital at Jubbulpore. This mortality and sickness raises the question whether all the regiments can stand the further reduction of two companies, when the troops on foreign service are being thus decimated.
