Whilst Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Hodgson are pre paring to settle, by a test ballot, their respective claims to the Liberal candidature for Bristol, the phantom Odger becomes more and more terrifying. His supporters have held a meeting, and his election agent, Mr. .Ackland, has etated very precisely what Mr. Odger's intentions are. They would doubtless, ho said, be accused of dividing the Liberal party, but they did. not care what they divided so that legally and consti tutionally they opened the doors of the Parliament house to the representatives of labour. Mr< Odger had been tricked at Stafford and Southwark by the ballot test; but ho would not be tricked again. The long contest in Southwark may hare lessened public interest in the working man problem; but this determined spirit is very significant, and not at all promising "m the Liberal party. DISQUALIFICATIONS FOR BRIBERY. The Government did not take an important eivA. appointment from Mr. W. 11. Cooke, Q.C., because he had been convicted of bribery. Probably the Government was right according to the strict letter of the law, though much indignation is felt at the course it has taken, or rather at the course it has not taken. An Act of the present reign does certainly disqualify persons other than candidates who are found guilty of bribery ; but the perscn charged must have an opportunity of being heard. The Attorney-General seems to be of opinion that this does not refer to proceedings before a commis sion, inasmuch as persons other than candidates therein inculpated have no opportunity of being heard in the sense required by the Act. A resolution will soon be moved on this subject in the House of Com mons, which will have the effect of clearing up doubts and difficulties. THE EDUCATION BILL. Mr. Forster's bill has been severely handled at some of the latest meetings which have been held in different parts of the country. The Nottingham Nonconformists have resolved that the measure will ag g ravate some of the worst defect s o f th e . present system—will kindle a flame of sectarian strife in every part of the land. They hold that compulsion cannot be applied with justice to the denominational system. The conscience clause of the bill is " invidious useless, illusory, and deceptive." The provisions for the election of the school board will give rise to a battle for religious ascendancy on every occasion. The United Presbyterian Presbytery of Liverpool considers that several clauses will seriously interfere with the religious liberty of the people. At a con ference of Protestant Nonconformists it was argued that the clauses relating to religious instruction were calculated to shirk and not to meet difficulties, to settle nothing and unsettle everything, and even to revive religious animosities. The town councils, too, have begun to declare them selves. That of Birmingham has no wish for the greatness thrust upon it. It desires free and secular education, and school-boards elected after a different fashion. The Liverpool Town Council considers only the financial aspect of the question. THE MINT. Official reports, signed " C. W. Freemantle and C. Rivers Wilson," have been published which review the administration of the Mint as it has been con ducted during the last eighteen years. The chiet point of interest refers to the system of coining. The report states that a system of Government manufacture produces the best and most accurate coins. In addition to this it con ducts the coinage as a matter of national im portance, without other motive than to attain the . greatest accuracy and perfection com bined with economy. Under the contract system, opportunities, it is considered, are afforded to the contractor of dealing with the coinage in a pecu liar way for commercial purposes, and for his indi vidual profit. The report recommends that for the future, should any offer be made to the Mint to under take a coinage for a foreign government, the Master of the Mint should report the circumstance to the Treasury, and be empowered to make the necessary arrangements for erecting the works. PRICE, r id STAMPED 6cL without ioundation. Major Wyatt apparently con siders that no working pay and increased duties do not constitute much of a grievance. .TIIE WICKLOW PEERAGE. Mrs. Howard has been released from the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod, to whose terrible charge sho was committed by the Lord Chancellor. It is not often that a commitment is made from the Woolsack, and when it does happen the prisoner is vcry well treated, though the fees • lv:iich have to be paid for the honour aro rather high. In fact, it will be well for no poor person to come in hostile contact with the Woolsack. In Mrs. Howard's case the money was forthcoming, and the lady is now at liberty. ROYALTY AND IRELAND. It turns out a hoax after all—the Prince of Wales has net arranged to visit Beltlist shortly,to inaugurate the Prince Consort Memorial. The municipal autho rities fly at higher game; they hope to have the Queen herself to do the honours on tho ccca sion. If her Majesty won't undertake the labour —albeit, the local magnates, looking to her previous exertions on similar occasions, believe that she will— the Prince and the Princess of Wales will be invited. If the Queen can be prevailed upon to cross St. Georg-Xs Channel, we shall have to congratulate our selves and Ireland. ROME AND THE FENIANS. The Irish. Roman Catholic bishops are vigoroxtsly supporting the Pope in his denunciation of Fenianism. Dr. Leahy, Bishop of Dromore, has sent from Rome a Lenten Pastoral which has been read from all the altars in the diocese. It declares that all who join Fenian societies are excommunicated, and cannot he absolved, except by the Pope. Ribboni6tl is in the same case. Bishop Dorrian's Lenten Pastoral is still more thorough . in its condemnation. lie declares that any one who treats the Pope's decree with contempt reveals the cloven foot, and ought to be avoided by all the faithful. "It would be as foolish to wriggle with, or to gainsay, this deliberate condemnation by the Pope, as it woult be impious in a Catholic to question his authority." And the prelate adds, " By all means let us serve ow country iu every fair and legitimate way. Let our patriotism be open, let it be reasonable, let it eschew sinful means, and the Church will not condemn, but will bless and approve it." THE MESSAGE OF PEACE. The Orange lodges in the north-east district have passed a resolution, declaring that Mr. Gladstone's message of peace has failed. They therefore call upon the Government to "use all legal_ means to put a stop to the horrifying and deplorable assassinations which are almost daily occurring in the Sister Isle." The Irish Orangemen are, no doubt pleased. to have the support and sym pathy of their English brethren ; but it comes late, very late. The Ulster Orangemen summed up the effects of the "message of peace" before it had been despatched; they declared it had failed before it could possibly have begun to operate. This waiting for results on the part of the English Orangemen is very slow walr. CANON SELWYN'S REPLY TO LORD SHAFTESBURY. The Times publishes the answer of Canon Selwyn to Lord Shaftesbury's ex p os iti on o f hi s reasons f or op posing the proposed revision of the Bible. The learned professor is very moderate indeed in his ad vocacy of a revision. lie says that Lord Shaftes bury's arguments have strengthened him in the conviction that the greatest caution is required in the execution of the work. Ho is most determinedly conservative with regard to the sacred old familiar diction of the Authorised Version, and would not have a word altered unless some thing real is to be gained. Nor would he advocate the change of a word, either in text or margin, at first; but rather the printing separately, in various sizes, adapted to various editions of the Bible, side by side, the authorised text and the proposed corrections; and not till these have been well sifted and weighed, by scholars and by the public, should they find their way into the Bible, THE MOABITE STONE. Another interpretation of the Moabite inscription is published by the Daily _Yews. "Ad. Neubauer" writes, supplying a reading of his own. It is a very ingenious one indeed, and has the virtue of har monising the writing with the Bible ; but it must not be accepted until further evidence has been received from Palestine. The stone (according to this authority) is a monumental altar erected by "Mesa," King of Moab, to signalise his victories over Israel. These successes are duly chronicled; they tool place at the death of Ahab, and comprise the capture of the cities, Nebo, Modeba, Jahaz, and Dibon. The building of certain fort resses and temples to the Moabite god Cheinoch is also reported. For three years—two of them the reign of Ahaziah and one that of Jehoram—these conquests went on. At the end of that time, as mentioned in Isaiah xvi., 14. they ceased; the "glory of Moab" was thereafter "con temned ; " the deleat of the Israelites was redressed. The inscription is declared to be " pure Hebrew, with a slight infusion of Arabic." MILITARY INSUBORDINATION AT WOOLWICH'. Major Wyatt, Military Train, writes from Woolwich to the Times about the statements that have appeared in the papers with regard to alleged grievances endured by the men of the military train, since the formation of the A rm y S erv i ce C orps .- ife states that with the exception of that portion of the grievance which consists in no working pay having been received by the men since the 15th ult., and the extra stable duties, entailed by the removal of a number of men of the Army Service Corps from Woolwich. the whole of the rant. of the Frt4l - . .fr - nent is lIANWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM AGAIN. For a second time within a very short period, a charge is made against the authorities of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. This time it is not a lunatic who dares to say that mad peoplo are ill-treated in a most respectable establishment, but a poor widow, who, iii a letter to the Times, signs herself " Unhappy Mother." For nearly twelve months, she says, she had a son in Hanwell Asylum, during which time she never failed to visit him every week, till one Sunday she was unable to go. lVhen she went on the following Sunday sho 'was coolly told at the gate that he was not only dead, but buried, and this without any attempt on the part of the authorities to let her know he was worse, though they had her correct address. She heard that the attendants had called the doctor's attention to-the fast approaching dissolution of the patient, but still no attempt was made to communicate the fact to his mother. On complaining to the Board, the woman was told that the letter to inform herhad miscarried, which statement she has ascertained to be false. DEBTORS IN PRISON. Not long ago there were not fewer than five debtors' prisons in the metropolis ; now there are but two. Notwithstanding this palpable decay of the nation, and decline in civilisation, there are some persons so regardless of the honour of their country as to propose that Whitecross-street Gaol be abolished, and its few prisoners removed to a special ward in the Holloway City Prison. It is true that business is very slack at White cross-street. Since the Act " abolishing " im prisonment for debt was passed there has been a great gaol delivery; and now but eight prisoners remain. Nevertheless, the proposal which is to be brought before the Court of Common Council is giving rise to much discontent. Debtors, it is argued, are not criminals. If they get into a criminal prison they will infallibly come under discipline of a penal character. There will be no tobacco. There will be no beer. The genial turnkeys of the debtors' gaol will give way to silent and rigid warders. It is all very well to talk about a special ward, but bond fide debtors, it is pleaded, ought not to be put in the same building with thieves and beggars. For it must be remembered that though tho Act of last year was called an Act for Abolishing Imprisonment for Debt, this title was one of those delusions with which the Legislature now and then amuses itself. County Court orders for commitments can still be made. PARLIAMENTARY BLACK MAIL. Lord George Hamilton, M.P. for Middlesex, has prosecuted two men for fraudulently obtaining a guinea from him. They had presented a paper to his lordship, in which a number of persons were represented as having subscribed towards the hold ing of a regatta at Tottenham, and ou the faith of this Lord George gave them a guinea as his con tribution. Amongst the names was that of Lord Enfield, the other member for Middlesex, and this explains the unhesitating gift of the money : In every constituency it is customary to levy a series of heavy fines upon members of Parliament in the shape of contributions to local institutions of all kinds. Not merely every soup kitchen and similar benevolent projects, but every cricket club and regatta claims its contribution. The levies are made as inexorably as New Year's gifts in Paris. What the working man M.P.—when we get have to say to this custom remains to be seen. HEALTH OF TOWNS AND THE DEATH RATE. Dr. Rumsey stated before the Royal Sanitary Commission that there was no test of the health of a town population more fallacious than a general death rate. Mr. A.. 13. Mid Ileton, M.R.C.S.. writes a letter to the Pall Mall Gazette to refute this state ment. He says that although it is quite true that the liability to death varies at different ages, yet the death rates of ordinary places compared • must necessarily give a very fair idea of the health of their whole populations, because town communities generally c mtain, if not identical, very similar proportions of people of all the various ages. Any probable error, he contends, arising from the proportion of ages differing, will upon the whole be merely fractional. In support of his argument, ho quotes the late Dr. Southwood Smith. The latter authority said, "Mortality is invariahly proportionate to the causes of mortality, of which causes sickness in all its forms may ho taken as the general or collective ex pression.' WOMEN'S CLUBS. "The weaker" sex are on the continual move to prove that this title should either become extinct or be transferred to the so-called lords of the creation. The preliminary steps taken by our fair friends chew, at least, that their claims are based on reasonable grounds, and that they are preparing themselves for a dignified carrying out of whatever measure of enfranchisement may be accorded them. At the first annual meeting of the " Women's Club and Institute," held in the drawing room of the institution, Oxford-street, under the chairmanship of Mr. Hodgson Pratt, the proceedings were of an interesting character. Mr. Hodgson delivered a stirring introductory address, pointing out that the society was likely to be the precursor of many others, not only in Lon don, but the provinces. He hoped to see engrafted on them funds to assist women during temporary sickness. With that aim in view, as au auxiliary to their social influences, he recommended that prizes should be established as an inducement for women to write papers illustrative of the mental and material capacities of their sex, and the best mode of developino. them. A. report showing the satisfactory state of the club was unanimously passed, on the motion of Mrs. M. Bore. A MESALLIANCE. , Lady Blanche Noel, eldest daughter of the Earl of Gainsborough, has married Mr. Murphy, her father's organist. This young man, who is only twenty-two years of age, has been in the Earl's employment for some time, but a little while ago he was abruptly dismissed. Soon after Lady Blanche disappeared. Her father, having reason to surmise the true state of the case, succeeded in tracing the young lady to London, in the neighbourhood of Spitalfields. Here she was found, in Mr. Murphy's company, at St. Anne's Chapel, a Roman Catholic house of worship—the family of Lord Gainsborough being adherents of the Church of Rome. All entreaties and solicitations failed to produce any effect on the lady. She is three years older than Mr. Murphy, and persisted in her right of free choice. Mr. Murphy and she were married on Sunday, in the Roman Catholic Church, Sloane-stree t. DEALINGS WITH THE CHINESE. There does not appear to be much prospect of reconciliation between the views of the Government and of the various commercial bodies respecting the new treaty with China. The Hong liong, and to some extent the London mercha n t s , b as e their obj▪ ections to the convention on the infeHor race argument. Says the Hong Kong Chamber of Com merce : "Like all Eastern nations, .the Chinese are destitute of any sense .of political honour, and the only obligations their rulers wi▪ ll ever acknowledge aro those they aro compelled to observe." The convention proposes that the transit dues be abolished, and that 21 per cent, extra import duty be levied instead. But the merchants object that the transit dues will still bo levied, in spite of the extra import duty. On the other hand, the Government are resolved to treat the Chinese as far as possible as a civilised State, in possession of the ordinary rights and privileges. The mercantile community are disposed to think that the experiment will be costly. GOLD IN AMERICA. The fall in the price of gold at New York still continues. On Tuesday it got down from 112% to 1001 tholowest point reached since the commencement of the war. The weakness still continues, but it is thought that it will not go below 110. A telegram to the Pall Mall Gazette says that a resolution has been proposed in the Senate that the Secretary of the Treasury should be instructed to sell all the surplus gold. It was not carried; but the excite ment caused by this approximation het , ,veen the values of gold and paper money is scart!oly inferior to the memorable gold fever of September. TILE REVENUE. This week's statement of the revenue brings up the total to £68,278,066, which with the balance at the banks of England and Ireland, makes £72,985,324. Tho corresponding totals for this period last year were £65,448,056 and £70,229,002. The expenditure up to this point has been £62 1 590 ; 225, azaiust £07.740.500 last Tsar. The German question appears to be growing more com:! plicated. Dr. Giskra, the Mir ister of the Interior of the! Austro-Cisteithan Cabinet,, invited the leaders of the Czech party to confer with; him on the Czech question.i The two heads of the ',party, Herren Ri eger an d Stadowsky, peremptorily refused the proposal of tile! Minister, although they chewed a willingness to negotiate with Dr. Giskra, if they met him, merely as thel representative of the German Nationalists. This reply: was not very welcome to Dr. Giskra, since it impliedi that his retirement from office would facilitate a, settlement. The Minister finds himself driven to the alternative of sacrificing either the centralisation of the Cisteithan provinces or their federative autonomy. His decision which is looked f or w ith some eagerness at Vienna, will in any case _produce further complications. Some uneasiness exists in the Austrian capital as to the course which the Imperial Chancellor, Count Beust, will take on the German question. It i s thought probable that he will take advantage of the fall of Prince Hoheulohe to mix again in the contentions of Germany, and to aim, in default of the 'impracticable confederation of the south, at an alliance be - ‘l-celi ViTurtemburg and Bavaria - which would form an intermediate groop between the Empire of Austria and the North German Confedera tion. Such an arrangemeLt would be very unwelcome to 11;me:ary and the Federalists,and already a Viennese journal the da:ette des Muzbourriedeclaresthatsue% intrigues would have the gravest consequerees. The interference in Gel'- man affaii.4 would, according to the a , c:^tte, complicr.,e the que-tiort in a manner threatening the peace of burve while, if left to itself, it would be quietly settled. Court 131 a. who has sr castled Prince fich en l o h e as head o f the 'Bavarian Cabinet, has decided according t, a Munich paper, in reserving for himself the portfolio of Foreign. Affairs and the Presidency of the Council. The delays which have taken place are due to a question of the official, personnel. Several high functionaries will be changed, but the programme of Count Bray will not, it is believed, differ materially from that of his predecessor. Before his departure front Vienna, Count Bray sounded the Imperial Government with respect to the Bavarian crisis. The Lord of 1 states that Count Beust said that Austria had decided to remain a passive spectator of German affairs until she was forced to abandon her reserve by a flagrant violation of. the Treaty of Prague. M. OLLIVIER AND THE TWO CENTRES. A grand political dinner has been given in Paris by the Marquis d'Andelarre, at which all the members of the Left Centre were present, as well as the eighteen deputies comprising the Executive of the Eight Centre, and six membefr - Of — the - IliniStry. Four other Ministers, who were unable t o acce pt th e invitation, joined the party after dinner, bringing the, number of guests up to 61. The M arqu i s d'A n d e l arre pro posed the toast of the Imperial family and the Liberal Ca binet of the 2nd of January. M. Emile 011ivi er replied. in a speech which was loudly applauded. He proposed— " the constant and the closer union of the Right and Left Centres, and to the union of the Cabinet with one and the other." "Our strength" (he said) "is that we do not owe our origin to chance nor to the caprice of fortune. We are the result of a powerful effort of the country and of the will of the Chamber. Our partizans are not courtiers or flatterers ; they are our friends of old days, the comrades of our conflicts. And the new friends who have united with these dear old friends have not come round us to greet a sudden ele vation, but to render homage to a persevering support of the same principles, and to aid in the triumph of our cause. Can there be a nobler one? It is that peaceful esta blishment of liberty, the foundation of a national dynasty by the democracy. Who could refuse in presence of so great an aim to set aside personal considerations? Who could have other ambition than to assist in the common. work? Bo certain that in the patriotic army which we lead there will be as much glory for the simple soldier as for the chiefs. The latter are only privileged, because they, receive the hardest blows. Have confidence ! Give ua your support, and do not be deterred by the faults which we have committed, or by those which we shall certainly commit. The faults of political men are the black sheep which the ancients sacrificed to destiny. While you support us, tell us our faults; and if sometimes, burdened with affairs of State and other preoccupations, we receive you with impatience or nervousness, do not be discouraged. Act the part of the surgeon, who places his hand on the wound, despite the cries of the sufferer, in. order to apply the cure. Let us have goodwill one towards another, • and confidence. In spite of the difficulties, in. spite of unforeseen accidents, I say to you we shall conquer." The Beech from first to last was vehemently and unanimously applauded. STEALING DINNERS.—If a labouring man, too poor or too wise to cook his meat at home, sends it to a baker, and the baker steals some of it, is there any law by which he can obtain redress? A poor man asked this ques tion in the Guildhall on Tuesday. He believed himself to have been injured in the way described, and soma time ago applied at the Guildhall for redress. He was told that the Court had no jurisdiction, and that he must go to the County Court. He went, and. Mr. Commissioner Kerr dismissed his summons, and made him pay 15s. for the defendant's costs, on the ground that the case was not one for the County Court, but for the justice-room. Back to the justice-room he went, where Alderman Stone repeated that the case way one for the County Court, but advised the man to let the matter drop and not to waste more time over it. MURDER IN AMERICA.—There is an awful column. in a recent number of the New York Herald. It contains a list of the murders committed in the United States during- the month of January. The total number is 54. The civil war is held responsible—and to a great extent, wo think, with justice—for the growing recklessness with which human life is taken. Before the war, say the Hcra7d,, " an out-and-out cold-blooded murder "—whica we take t,) be Something entirely distinct from the old pleasantries cf revolver and bowie-knife—" was quite a rarity," but now the thing has become so common, especially in the city of New York, as scarcely to attract more attention than the hanging of half a dozen horse stealers in the very Far West. A. singular phase of what oar contemporary calls " this unfortunate state of affairs " is the very large pro portion which the murders " committed by men while suf fering under the pan , , , s of jealousy and domestic afflic tiens " bear to the entire number of homicides recorded. In the January list, for example, the ratio stands at about five to ten. a:era:sr.% srIcAL AFFAIRS IN FR ANCF..-1110 Paris correspondent of the indepcidance Beige says that the nomination of M. Gil - will:lliac to the Archbishopric of Lyons, in place of Cardinal Ronald, has made the more sensation in Paris, as people were quite igno rant of the religious policy of the new Ministry. The selection of M. Giuoulhiac has come like a thunder-clap on the Ultramontanes. It is fully proved now that the Imperial Government in its constitutional phase will remain faithful to the traditions of France, and only nominate to the bishoprics those men who are favourable to the doctrlne of Bossuet and the Assem bly of 1682. This act of the new Ministry has a peculiar significance just now, and will be the more remarkable if it be true that M. de Bonneville has been. commissioned to convey to Cardinal Antonelli the unfavourable impression produced upon Count Daru by the opinions of the majority of the Council. I ather Felix has been again selected to offi ciate in the pulpit of Notre Dame, and the Jesuits are triumphant in consequence. They rejoice that no disciple of Father Hyacinthe eau have the opportunity of displaying his eloquence from that place. Jesuitism can claim to be for while its principles are set forth in duced at the Roman Council, it is to re: pulpit of Notre-Dame.
