The most noticeable incident next to the appearance of the tall and stately Archbishop of Syra in his purple robe, brimless hat, veil, and jewelled cross, was the sermon. This was preached by Mr. Furse, the vicar of Staines, an intimate friend of the new bishop for neatly years. The sermon was remarkable for the earnestness and outspokenness with which it set forth the duties of a bishop. It was an admirable companion to Dean Lake's discourse. The rumoured selection of Archdeacon Jones for the see of St. Asaph was incorrect. I can state positively that no appointment had been made up to Tuesday, and that Mr. Gladstone has had more difficulty in filling up this see than any other. It is just possible that Mr. Walsham How, who is a good Welsh scholar, a canon of St. Asaph, and a cousin of the Premier, may be the man; but nothing is settled. A subscription is being raised to repair the chancel of St. Philip's Church, Clerkenwell, as a memorial to the lato incumbent, the Rev. Warwick Wroth, who was the first London clergyman to exchange pew-rents for the free and open system: The Middlesbro' strikers have shown great ingratitude in refusing to accept the arbitration of Mr. Rws'ert Kettle, who has been so successful hitherto, first, in !Educing the contending parties to submit to arbitration, and, then, in giving a decision which has satisfied both. The strikers insisted upon having Mr. Hughes, who, with all his good qualities, and sympathy for working men, is not the most practical man in the world, as his experience of co-opera tive and philanthropic-commercial undertakings would testify. Surely Mr. Hughes must have his hands full in looking after the interests of the unfortunate adventurers in the Cobden cotton mills and other partnerships of industry whereof-he is-a iiirectoy, but,. the shareholders , of which have long been waiting /or a dividend with more of patience than fruition. The Bessemer patent expires in a few days, and there is some little excitement in the iron trade. But Mr. Besse mer is far too clever a man to allow £120,000 a year, which he gets from royalties alone, to pass out of his hands. Recently he has invented a process by which the waste material that could not be converted into steel shall be converted. As this waste was about 30 per cent., it is manifest that he will be able to undersell all other makers even though they use his first patent without paying for it. In other words, he will ' coinpei them to use his new patent, that is, to continue paying the royalty. Mr. Bes semer is now a MBA of enormous wealth, and the conser vatory which he has just erected at his seat is probably the finest in the world. Yet it is little more than twenty years since he was a working engineer in North London, who, all his friends declared, would never do anything for himself, because he was always muddling away his time and money in experiments. For some years he experi mented on the making of steel. His problem was how to get the surperfluous carbon out of the pig iron and yet retain the proportion required. For some time he succeeded only partially, the steel being of uncertain quality, because the proportion of carbon was of uncertain amount. At last a Mr. Mushet suggested that the easiest plan was to get rid of all the carbon, and restore the required quantity afterwards. He had been wise enough to take out a patent, but had for gotten that after a provisional registration for six months it was necessary to pay £5O. In this way Mr. Bessemer got possession of the patent, and made arrangements with Mr. Mushet with which the latter gentleman was not wholly satisfied. He subsequently set up works of his own at Coleford, in the Forest of Dean, where he now produces the Titanic steel. There is good news for ladies. Hitherto, as their husbands have been only too well aware, they have had to pay very high prices for silks of broad widths. The reason is that in weaving these silks the shuttle has to pass through a greater space, and becoming heated by friction, the machinery has to be oiled, and it is very difficult to prevent the oil dropping on to the silk. Hence much waste, and therefore increase in •cost. But an American named Lyall has devised a shuttle which runs along a sort of tramway, and does not get unduly heated. Consequently he can make silks of any width, and at a moderate cost. His invention also makes the selvage perfectly regular, an advantage too seldom attained hitherto. The result of this invention will, in all probability, be that the raw silk from China and Japan, which now passes through the United States by the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, will stop in the States, and be manufactured there, instead of going to Lyons, and then returning manufactured. In this way the United States are likely to become the great silk manufacturers of the world. Indeed, at tie present time silk is being assidu ously cultivated at San Francisco. It has been already mentioned that Mr. Holman Hunt is engaged on a groat picture at Bethlehem. It is not known, however, that he is keeping the subject of it a profound secret, nor that he sends home every week to his son, a child of four years old, sketches of the people and the country where he is now residing. These sketches are being carefully collected by friends of the artist who know the value of them. Another item of art news is that Mr. Lehmann paid Mr. Millais £1,500 for the picture of "Nina Lehmann," which was exhibited in the Royal Academy last year. This is a large sum. Yet no doubt the owner of the picture could get his money back again any day. Two well known pic tures by the same artist have just been sold by the owner, a Lancashire man, at a large advance upon the original price. Mr. Millais is painting a chef d'oeuvre for the Royal Academy this year, and Mr. Frith also has another of his scenes of English life on hand. One of the most amusing books out ror many a day is the " Anglican Mysteries of Paris," a very handsome volume, containing fifty-three sketches of Paris life, each page with from one to six drawings, and each drawing having explanatory letterpress. The work, which is splendidly bound, sets forth "the stirring adventures of Captain Mars and his two friends, Messrs. Scribbley and Daubiton ;" Scribbley, the man of letters, and Daubiton, the artist. Captain Mars, your readers may like to know, is Captain Bertrand Payne (" 11Ioxon and Co."), and the artist of the work is Mr. Moyr Smith. The two names suggest an irresistible joke, and so the title page states that the joint authors are " a new firm with an old name," videlicet Smith, Payne, & Co., but of course not the bankers. The dedication is humorous, and runs as follows :—" To the Prince Imperial of France, a very good little boy, this book, a souvenir of a pleasant visit to Paris, is, with his august Papa's gracious consent, inscribed as a reward for progress in his English studies, by his friends and well wishers, Smith, Payne, and Co." The drawings suggest the immortal adventures of "Brown, Jones, and Robinson." Yet there is no slavish imitation, but plenty of originality, such as Paris life may well inspire. The three friends begin with spirit. They dine not wisely, but too well, and though the arrival of each at his own door is effected without accident, the act of applying the latch key to the keyhole is beyond their capacity. Nevertheless they must have contrived to gain admission somehow, for early the next morning we see them at Victoria Station en route for Paris. The voyage to Dieppe is the reverse of cheerful—Dieppe douaniers are so fierce of countenance that Scribbling believes he is the victim of a lettre de cachet. However, they arrive at Paris without loss of liberty, and then they do the capital thoroughly. Most amusing are the adventures into which they fall. Not the least so is is the duel which Captain Mars has to fight with a jealous husband—a novel kind of duel, in which fire-arras are exchanged for water-weapons, and in which the brave men nears drain the lake in the Bois de Boulogne. The acme of humour is reached in the picture of Gustave Dore's studio, where that most prolific of artists is seen painting in heroic size the three friends who are almost lost in the distance of the capacious room. Very clever, too, are the drawings of the. police, the National Guard, and the French men, women, and children drawn up in regimental array, as Captain Mars promises to draw them up, if the Emperor will but make him a marshal and com mander-in-chief. Altogether this is a ,capital book for passing away pleeseently the mauvais quart d'heure when a late guest is keeping the dinner waiting. Other literary news is scanty. Mr. Dicey, the new Editor of the Daily News, has in the press a book on the Suez Canal. The new pocket edition of Tennyson's poems contains all the Arthur:an poems arranged in the order mentioned by the author in the notice to his new volume. Mr. Matthew Arnold does not find the education of the Duke of Genoa prevent him from writing, - and ho has an article in the new number of the Cornlal on Puritanism in the Church of England. Mr. Marwood Tucker, proprietor of the Globe, has an article in Macmillan. The Portfolio has articles by Mr. Sidney Colvin (art critic of the Pall Mall Gazette), Mr. Burne Jones, the Prx- Raphaelite, and Mr. Hamerton,the editor.

To-day has been the coldest day of the season. This morning the thermometer in the sun was only 25. Hyde Park was white with the most brilliant hoar frost, that covered both grass and trees, and made Englishmen, in their sombre dresses, look like . mutes at a funeral. The sun was a red ball,4cen toroug'ks London fog, which, though mild in comparison'ivithinany fop, was bad, enough to make one wish for 'one of Prefessor Trulall's respirators. There has b skating in the parks, Pad a host of accidents. • 'Whatever doubt there may have been before, there can be none now that Ministers will deal with the Education question this year. Judged by the test of public meetings, it is the question of the day. By comparison with this subject, the Irish Land Bill is of no interest, though far be it from me to say that it is of no importance. Every night sees several mec:_ing,s held in different parts of the country to discuss the programmes of the Education Union and the League. The latter body is the more active, for it has a large suns of money at its command wherewith to carry on the :agitation. Never thelees, its own supporters confess that it has lost ground la tely, and that it was a serious mistake to draw up a defi nite measure. The conviction gains strength that the interpretation which you put upon Mr. Forster's speech is the true one, and that the Government will preserve the present system for the existing schools, and adopt the secular system for those schools which are supported by the rates. As regards the other great subject of legislation, it becomes more and more probable that the Government will, as I have all along predicted, solve the Irish land question by the extension of the Ulster system throughout Ireland, and by the establishment of local courts for set tling differences which may arise between landlord and tenant. The able Irish special commissioner of the linzeg, Mr. O'Connor, sums up his correspondence this morning by recommending these proposals, and the Times, in a leading article, endorses them. The licensing question is also pretty certain to be dealt with this session as may be seen from Mr. Stansfeld's remarks at Halifax yesterday. I have reason to know that Mr. Gladstone has promised to bring in a bill for relieving clergymen, who have abandoned their vocation for conscientious reasons, from the civil disabilities under which they now suffer. Should this measure be carried it will no longer be true " once a priest always a priest," and we shall probably see men like Pro fessor Rogers and Mr. Fronde becoming candidates for seats in Parliament. Both these gentlemen have long felt" - The -- present law a serious hardship, shutting them out, as it does, from the life to which they deem themselves really called. I hope that among other measures the Government will not forget one for the certification of life insurance accounts, such as Mr. Thomas Cave introduced last session. Finally, one would like to know what stops the Attorney- General has taken to prosecute the bribers and the bribees of Bridgwater, Beverley, Norwich, and other corrupt con stituencies. The year during which proceedings may be instituted has been up these two months and as yet nothing has been heard of a prosecution. THE THORNCLIFFE RIOTS. Chapeltown is still much agitated, and tile - danger of renewed disturbances is far from over. Lord. Fitzwilliam, the Lord-Lieutenant of the West Riding, met the magistrates at Barnsley on Wednes day, and it was resolved to retain soldiers in the neigh bourhood for the present. It was also decided that a magistrate should be in attendance all night, in order to direct the movements of the military, in case their services are required. The inquest on the body of the woman who died in consequence of the fright received, on the day of the attack shews that she was suffering from consumption, that all her clothing was destroyed, and that the exposure to the cold and the smoke of the fire which the rioters kindled were the imme•' diate causes of death. Lord Wharncliffe has given an account of the. doings of the magistrates in this affair. From these details it appears that a meeting of magistrates was. actually hold on the Saturday _preceding the great outbreak. The question of calling up troops from Sheffield was discussed; but the Chief Constable of the Riding " did not deem such extra,aid indispensable," and his opinion was adopted. Six days afterwards the need for this "extra aid it . was rather forcibly demonstrated by the fatal attack' of last Friday. After that occurrence Lord eh& took upon himself the responsibility of ordering a detachment of soldiers from Sheffield. Lord Fitzwilliam thoroughly approved of this step. "It is impossible to say how long the presence of the military may he requi site, nor in how many points. The number of rioters is considerable, and they are evidently acting under orders, so that unusual precautions are re quisite, which no county police can be expected to provide." Why these conclusions should not have been arrived at when the meeting of Saturday, the 15th, was held, and when the magistrates had abun dant warning of what might result from a state of terrorism which had lasted several months, the guar dians of the peace may be left to explain. Lord Wharncliffe says that besides the resolution not to invoke the aid of the military, the m agistrates came to other decisions at their meeting. These s lordship does not disclose, as it "might not be judi cious to do so." Very likely . POSTAL rRREGULADITIES. Correspondents of the _Daily News are calling attention to the delays and losses that are at present common accompaniments of the otherwise well managed working of the Post Office. It vim be hard if we have to resort to the unusual process of reetra tion to secure the due delivery of letters of ordinary importanCe. One of the letters on this subject in forms us that a book posted in Loudon was found, on arriving at its destination (Bournemouth), to have entrapped no less than three letters, all clean . and unsullied by the official stamps. If this is one of the causes of the miscarriage or non-delivery of letters, the sooner some arrangement is made for the total separation of books and letters, the better for the public. In some metropolitan offices this system is already carried out, no doubt successfully. It is all very well to praise the advan tages of a penny post, but whilst a single letter, which may be of the utmost importance, miscarries, there is room for improvement. 44 HOSPITAL SUNDAY." A. sugestion was made lately by the Lancet for .a Hospital Sunday," that is, for one particular day in the year to be set apart for the purposes ofinedical charity throughout the land. Though this may not yet be carried out on such a complete scale us that advocated, yet in many of the larger towns the idea will very likely be acted upon. The example has been set by Birmingham and Leeds, in which latter place the second Sunday in February has been determined on as the one on which collections will be simultaneously made in the places of worship of all denominations. In Birmingham, indeed, a plan of this sort seems to have been carried out before, and not the least important feature of it is that the sum of money collected on " Hospital Sunday " is apportioned in shares to every medical charity in the town. At the last collection in Birmingham 150 different places of worship sent in their mites to the general fund; the mites ranging from £224 from a parish church to 8s 7d from a small Methodist chapel. SILK MANUFACTURE. Mr. John Chadwick has sent to a Manchester paper a long account of the history of our silk manufacture. From his earliest acquaintance with the trade, the writer says an idea existed that we were unable to compete with the French, but having visited Lyons, with a desire to inquire for himself, he returned with the conviction that there were no reasons for that idea, except that the special training and education for the business that is given in France does certainly confer an advantage on that country. lie speaks strongly against protection, and disposes in detail of the arguments that have been made use of in favour of it. It should be looked upon as a badge of degradation and disgrace. Though the re-imposition of a duty on foreign goods, under the circumstances, might 'be a boon to us for a time, it is wrong in principle, and would be certain in the long run to produce evil results. Mr Chadwick thinks that, instead of bene fiting those whom it professes to serve, protection 15 calculated to destroy that spirit of independence and self-reliance which is always stimulated by free com- Petition. DUST AIM DISEASE. Professor Tyndall's lecture on "Dust and liisease has excited the attention which might have been ex pected from the importance of the subject. In reply ing to a correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, he relates some interesting facts regarding the air of Manchester to support his theory. Dr. Angus Smith, ho says, to catch in water the floating matter of the air, placed a small quantity of the liquid in a bottle, and shook it up with successive changes of air. The microscope, he states, revealed spores, or sporidice, to the extent of 37t millions in 2,495 litres of air, a quantity Which would be respired in about ten hours by a man of ordinary size when actively employed. Tro reports that apart from their other effects, the mere mechanical irritation produced by the de position of these particles in tender lungs must go for something. These might, he contend.s, be entirely withheld by a cotton wool re spirator. In a letter to the Times, Professor analysis commu- Tyndall states that according to a n nicated to him by Dr. Percy, theclust collected from the walls 91 the British m 9 ytabks .. t, r t • ''• 60 per
