On and after May 10th THE SUN will be pub lished as a MORNING and EVENING NEWSPAPER, at the price of One Penny. The Morning Edition will be published at 8 a.m., containing four hours' later news than the other morning papers. Special Telegrams will be given in this edition from the leading capitals of Europe, America, India, and all parts of the United Kingdom. With the exception of London, most of the leading towns in Great Britain have had the advantage of a publication at 8 a.m., giving later news than can appear in the usual editions of the morning papers. The recent development of telegraphic communi cation has made additional news available at 8 a.m., and has thus increased the advantages which may be secured by placing before the public the latest infor mation prior to their entering upon the engagements of the day. The principles upon which TILE SUN has been conducted for a long series of years will be consis tently maintained—the Editorial management re maining i❑ the same hands as hitherto. The Evening Editions of THE Sox will be pub lished at 3.30 and 7 p.m. The Plebiscite of the eighth of May is, al a sharp ordeal for France, passed through, and the tranquil lity of the country has throughout been maintained. At Paris, as a matter of course, the Noes were conspicuously in preponderance. But throughout the provinces the voces populi were in overwhelming numbers, in favour of the Imperial Government, as that Government has now been liberalised. The statistics will require time for their well-authenticated accumulation. Trickery is a thing impracticable. The system for collecting the votes of the ten millions of adult Frenchmen is so guarded, at every turn and at any moment, from the risk of being, in any way or by any possibility, tampered with, that the utmost reliance can at all times be reposed in the actual result arrived at as the bona fide declaration of the multitude. Fortunately, for the present ruler of France, when the popular suffrages were first awarded to him in overwhelming numbers, the balloting urns were held and guarded throughout by the most for midable of all his rivals in aspiring to the post of the Presidency. With CAVAIGNAC in rower at the head of the Government, and actually, at the moment, wielding the sword of Dictatorship, the Prince Louis NAPOLEON won the day, even then, to begin with, by votes to the number of very nearly 6,000,000. Subsequently on the morrow of the coup (Mat he was confirmed in power for ten years, and had the coup daat itself condoned by very nearly 7,000,000 votes—being raised to the empire not long afterwards on the buckler lifted by the hands of very nearly 8,000,000. The probability now is, judging from the returns already pouring in, that the 8,000,000 will be actually attained, if not even ex ceeded. Here at last will be the long promised Crown ing of the Edifice. Personal or absolute Government having been changed into responsible or purely parlia mentary Government, the people have been ask( d for their approval of the transformation, and that appro v al they have accorded unhesitatingly. The Reveil has failed to waken them into antagonism. The Rappel has not beaten them to quarters, en masse, as the poor miserable little drummers anticipated. The Mar seillaise, instead of rising into a grand chorus of re volt, has dwindled down into the feeblest little solo well imaginable—M. HENRI ROCHEFORT'S. The powder has not been kept dry—has been damped by a series of disappointments—has fizzed and splut tered with nothing whatever as the result in the way of.'a grand social detonation. (FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.) English Church is threatened with a new secession. This time it is not to the Papal but to the Patriarchal Church. The theological travellers look, not towards Rome, but towards St. Petersburg. 'The simultaneous discussion on Papal Infallibility and the visit of Archbishop Lycurgus to this country have given a new direction to the thoughts of those restless persons who are never contented save when they are "going over." We are not prepared to say that the secession w ill b e on a large scale. It is quite possible, moreover, that the persons who eventually leave the English for the "orthod ox " Ch urc h w ill b e cons id ere d more noto rious than influential. At the same time, any move ment of this kind is not to be despised, but should be well weighed by all persons who direct the policy of the National Church. The real ground of offewse, the proximate.. cause of Dublin the threatened rupture, are the recent legal deCisions with respect to ritual. The Ritualist - party com plain of the judgments in themselves, and of the one sided way in which it is attempted to enforce the rubrics. They point out that if they err by excess, others err far more grievously by defect. We will assume that this complaint is well founded ; but we see in it no reason to justify secession. In the first place, if the Ritualists are offended by the fact that they only am selected as defendants in suits for breaches of the rubric, it is quite competent for them to institute proceedings against the party which has attacked them. Far be it from us to recommend this course. There has been already far too much of brother going to law with brother, and we do not desire to sea a bad example• followed, however great the provocation. Much better would it be for the Ritualists to agitate for any change in the law which they think desira ble. The strength of their position hitherto has been the love of toleration and fair play which per vades the En:lish mind when not perverted by theological bitterness. That advantage would be lost if the Ritualists undertook the role of prose cutors. At the same time it is for them to consider whether even this step would not be better than the very serious ono of deserting the Church into which they have been baptised. Far better would it be to work on steadily in the hope of ob taining. her liberty. The time is probably not far distant when the State will refuse to be troubled any longer with such questions, will allow English Churchmen to have as much or as little ritual as they please. Every year the desire to grant the widest toleration increases, and the dislike of these ecclesi astical lawsuits intensifies. It would argue much petulance and impatience if the Ritualists hastily forsook the English communion. Any way, they have no right to expect that the law will be set aside to please them. If they think the law is bad, let them endeavour to get it repealed, and to talk of secession if the bishops enforce the law, sounds too much like a threat for the chief pastors of the church to be able to heed it. After all, ritual is not doctrine. If the English courts should declare against any dogma which the,Ritualists cherish, then we not only could not blame them for seceding, but we do not see how they could do otherwise. But even the most dogma-loving mind cannot suppose that lighted candles are necessary to salvation, or that Eucharistic vestments are articles of a standing or falling Church. Therefore, to forsake a Church which does in their opinion hold the true faith, in order that they may have freedom of conscience in another Church not in their opinion altogether sound, is a weakness unworthy of men of earnestness and learning. While the Bishops should not be terrified into doing, or leaving undone, anything contrary to their judgment, it will be wise for them just now, and, indeed, at all times, to grant the widest possible liberty which they can give consistent with loyalty to the Church of which they are . overseers. The example of a party organisation like the Church Association is not one that men, who ought to be- • long to no party, should .follow. Let them recog nise earnestness wherever they see it, and seek to temper rather than to destroy enthusiasm even when it is not ahogether wise. More has been lost to the Church by repression than by toleration. The Bishops cannot set aside the law of ritual ; but let them not seek to enforce it vexa tiously. To be hot against ritual is just as unphilo sophical as to be hot in its behalf. There are other and more important questions than this to occupy the minds of both " bishops and curates " just now. Her Majesty will, during-the present week, stand sponsor in person at the christening of the Earl of Burford, infant sou of the Duke and Duchess of St Albans. A marriage is arranged between the Earl of Derby and Mary Marchioness of Salisbury. Mr. Bellew is about to give a series of readings in According to the Morning Post there is not the slightest foundation for the statement in the Observer of yes terday that Mr. Bright has intimated his intention of resign ing his seat in the Cabin9t, and consequently for the report that Mr. Mon della is to succeed the right hon. gentleman at the Board of Trade. Lord ani Lady Muncaster, after a fatiguing journey by era and land, via Marseilles, arrived in London shortly niter :ix a.m. on Saturday from Athens, and are staying with his lordship's relatives, the Right Hon. Edward Ilorsman, M.P., and Mrs. Horsman, on Richmond terrace, Whitehall. A few hours after his arrival Lord Muncaster visited the Earl de Grey (Lord President of the Council), brother-in-law of the unfortunate Mr. Reginald Vyner. Archdeacon Sinclair, now in his 73rd year, is suf fering from a complication of alarming maladies, among others serious spitting of blood and congestion of the lungs. The more alarming symptoms are, however, we are glad to hear, slightly ameliorated. Haydn's " Creation" will be performed on Friday, the 20th instant, for the only time this season, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin, at St. James's Hall, Picca dilly. Frith's " Mrs. Rousby," in the Academy, has been sold for 350 guineas, and E. M. Ward's "Judge Jeffries" for £l,soo—the purchaser of both being Mr. Brooke, of Ken wood Tower, Highgate. Anthony Trollope will contribute Casar as the next volume of Blackwood's " Ancient Classics for English Readers." Napoleon's Expenses at St. Helena have just now been made public, for the first time, through Baron Pey rouse's "Memoirs and Archives," 1809-1815, the military expenses being 1,446,000 f. ; the civil, only 145,000 f. ; those of the Emperor's household, 750,000 f. George Grove, Editor of Macmillan, and Sec retary of the Crystal Palace Sydenham, is about to publish for the benefit of amateurs a band-book to Beethoven's Symphonies. Mr. Toole, on Friday next, the 13th inst. will take his benefit, and make his last appearance there at the great east-end theatre of the Standard. The great organ for the Albert Hall at South Ken sington is being got in piecemeal, and will be put to gether as rapidly as possible so soon as the domed roof is completed. A new, two-act comedy by Mr. Cheltnam, the author of " Evendale," and son-in-law of the late Leigh Hunt, will be speedily produced at the Charing-cross Theatre. A photograph of the heads of seven of the Greek brigands has been published by the London Stereoscopic Company, Cheapside, and a more villainous set of counte nances it would be difficult to imagine. Tramways between Whitechapel Church and Bow Church were formally opened to the public to-day. The general rules and regulations for the forth ciming prize meeting at Wimbledon were issued by the National Rifle Association on Saturday. There is no mate rial alteration from the rules in force last year. John Bull mentions rumours of secessions to the Greek Church among-advanced Churchmen. A detente fund has been started in Liverpool to defray the costs of the recent action against the proprietor of the Porcupine. The South London Press states that the defalca tions of the late collector of Queen's taxes in Lambeth (John Purssey) are estimated at about £4,000. Should the Government decline to have a religious census, John Bull understands that the Church authorities will undertake to arrange one for her own members. Favourable accounts continue to be received from Frogmore, regarding the Princess Christian and her child. A. despatch from Rome states that in the vote for the establishment of a universal Catechism, taken in Thursday's sitting of the Council, there were seventy non placets and fifty conditional placets. We understand that a proposal has been made by Colonel Morgan to our corporation with the view of pro viding a park for the inhabitants of Swansea.—The Cambrian. The Paris correspondent of the Standard has reason to know that great military precautions are to be taken, and that extra supplies o f ammun iti on h ave b een sent to all the infantry barracks in Paris. A Treasury minute has been published, autho rising the discontinuance of the separate annual state ment of Colonial Governor's pensions. The statement will in future be printed with the estimates. - iinirt „ , "0.1 , 1 1 HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, May 7.

It is, I believe, pretty well decided that the new posts at the War Office constituted under the War Office Bill which has just passed through the House of Commons, and been introduced to the House of Lords, will be conferred upon Captain Vivian and Sir Henry Storks. Captain Vivian is at present a Lord of the Treasury. specially charged to look after army matters, and he.will in his new capacity be Financial Secretary of War. Sir Henry Storks will be Surveyor-General of Ordnance. The Government are anxious to get him into Parliament, and would have done so at Newark if they could, but the strong feeling excited against Sir Henry by his support of the Contagious Diseases Act rendered it useless for him to go to the poll. Speaking of the above-mentioned Act, I may state that it is the intention of the Government not to repeal it. Ministers declaie that they have an excellent answer to all the allegations which have been made against it ; and though Mr. Bruce promised yesterday's deputation that an inquiry should be made into the working of the Act, the Government are already satisfied that it is work ing well and should not be repealed. As I anticipated a week ago, the Liberals gain a seat in East Suffolk. The Conservatives cannot find anyone who will venture to spend seven or eight thousand pounds in opposing the Whig baronet ; they say that Sir Shafto Adair is safe to be made a peer in a year or two, when they will recover their loss. The Cobden Club are hoping that Mr. Gladstone will preside over their annual dinner this year. The club is now an influential political body ; it includes about 150 members of the House of Commons, a large number of ex-M. P.'s, and a goodly array of peers. Some of the most distinguished continental politicians also are enrolled in the pink-covered, cream-tinted little book which con tains the " list of members." The name of Cobden suggests the Commercial Treaty, and with reference to that your readers may have noticed a leader in the Timei of Thursday, commenting upon . the report of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and a letter which appeared in the Times itself a little while ago. Both report and letter were written by a Manchester gentleman named Stagg, who is connected by marriage both with Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden. When the treaty was about to be first settled he was sent to Paris to arrange some of the details, and now that a change is proposed he is going over again, by the invita tion of the French Government, to give evidence before their committee. He is preparing a work on the political economy of the Manchester trade, and some little time ago he had a letter in the Times calling for a revision of the duties under the Treaty, and so ably written that it attracted the particular notice of the chiefs at Printing house-square, and induced them to ask for further com munications. These will shortly appear in the columns of the leading journal, and the writer will be paid an unusually large sum for them. The select committee appointed to inquire into the operation of Mr. Osborne Morgan's Dissenters' Burials Bill have found it impossible to modify the bill so as to make it in accordance with the wishes of its opponents. They have therefore proposed that in the event of any parish or any private individual giving land properly railed in and prepared as a burial ground for Dissenters, such parish shall be exempt from the operation of the Act. I believe that Mr. Mowbray was the originator of this suggestion, and that it will be accepted as a satisfac tory compromise by High Churchmen like Archdeacon Denison ; that it will be accepted by Dissenters is less 6.15 a.m. I certain. _ _ _ _ A good many of the Upper Ten have been spending the Easter holidays in Paris—among them the Marquis and the Marchioness of Westminster,and the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury. They had an opportunity of witnessing Patti's farewell performance. It consisted of the second act of " Don Juan," the third of " Faust," and the fourth of " Hamlet." The Prima Donna was regularly bombarded with bouquets, and while acting Ophelia was nearly buried alive with flowers. The receipts at the Opera that night were over £l,OOO. Bene dict has also been bringing out at Paris his new cantata, "St. Cecilia." The Duchess of Gramont, wife of the French Ambassador at Vienna, and who is spoken of as successor to Count Daru at the Foreign Office,was daughter of M. Mackinnon, the head of the Mackinnon clan, who has just died. Lady Margaret Beaumont, who has just been robbed of £lO,OOO worth of jewels, is the daughter of the Marquis of Clanricarde, and her husband is member for South Northumberland, and one of the wealthiest com moners in England. Of late weeks the dead walls of London have been plentifully placarded with conspicuous bills, declaring that Will o' the Wisp was the only Conservative, and chief political comic journal. The field thus occupied does not seem to have been very fertile. Yesterday there appeared in the Court of Bankruptcy a certain Mr. Titus Danker, who stated that his liabilities were £1,638, and his assets £5OO, and that his failure " was attributable to his connection with the publication called Will o' the Wisp." He added that he " had executed a mortgage on the assets of the paper to a person named King, who had provided him with funds to carry it on, but instead of improving, it only became worse." It will be remembered that this was the paper which Mr. Hamilton Hume started, and which, during the reign of Mr. Corry was distributed to the ships in Her Majesty's navy, with the view of teaching them loyalty. The accession of Mr. Childers had a chilling effect upon the journal in question, and loud were Mr. Hume's com plaints. Remembering the failure of the Arrow and that another comic paper still in existence belonged to Sir William Russell, the bankrupt M.P., it would seem as if comic journalism were not a lucrative employment. It is melancholy to think of jokes having to be prepared when the sheriff's officers are in possession. Neverthe less, in spite of numerous "comic " failures in London, Dublin is about to have a comic journal of its own, called Zosimus, the nickname of a fool once well known in the streets of the Irish capital. It will be illustrated by Mr. O'Hea. Monday will see a new novel out, called " The Higher Law." It is written by Mr. Maitland, author of " The Pilgrim and the Shrine "—a very clever but very heretical tale. Mr. Moncure Conway's new, book will be called " The Earthward Pilgrimage," Mr. Spender's will be called, " Fjeld, Isle, and Tor." Mr. Crace, the well known decorator, has published an address to working men on " Art Training." Mr. Montgomerie Ranking is publishing the stories from whence " The Idylls of the King " are taken. Mr. Whymper, who was the first person to ascend the Matterhorn, has in the current number of the Alpine Journal an account of Greenland. The prolific Mr. William Morris has just published his translation of the Icelandic Poem, " The Story of the Volsungs and the Niblungs." The price of Mr. Leslie's picture should have been £2,000, not £l,OOO, as stated in my last letter. Le Figaro says that M. Flourens has left London, and continues, " We have confid ence t h at free England, the refuge of cosmopolitan revolution, will not allow foreign conspirators, who menace the lives of friendly sovereigns, to remain upon her territory." Lord Redesdale has discovered that, according to existing plans for the extension of the Government offices one end of Parliament- street will be wide and the other inconveniently narrow. As usual, the matter being pointed out, will be remedied. The Army and Navy Gazette understands that there is a probability that there will be no drill season at the Curragh Camp this year. At least, it is not at all likely that Lord Strathnairn will command if there is, as he will resign his command in June. John Bull understands that the Select Committee on the Burials Bill will recommend a clause exempt ing any parish from the operation of the proposed Act, if it provides a suitable burial ground for Noncon formists. The Hon. rilarli Rolle has issued a circular to the tenants on his estates, expressing his wish to take upon himself in future the liability to pay Church-rates in cases where his tenants have a conscientious objection to pay the rate. The Spectator" feels the deepest suspicion" of Mr. Kinnaird as the member who uttered the words com plained of by Mr. Whalley.—" Why not Mr. Kinnaird? No party feels more gall or bitterness in their hearts for the ridicule which Mr. Whalley brings on the extreme anti-Romanist party than the Recordites." The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has commenced to publish a monthly periodical called " The Animal World," the object being to teach, in the words of Miss Burdett Coutts's letter, " the absolute duty of man towards the lower animals." A singular instance of motherly love was brought under the notice of the Sheffield magistrates on Friday. The mother of a lad who stood charged with pocket-picking had come all the way from America to him the moment she heard he'was in custody here, and she now produced a return-ticket for recrossing the Atlantic the moment her unworthy son got at liberty. The Chief Constable was instructed to liberate the prisoner on finding the story told by the mother was accurate. THE LOGIC OF IRISH DISAFFECTIO N. At a public meeting in Kells to adopt a congratulatery address to Mr. Radcliffe, J.P., who was recently fired at, the Rev. John Nicolls, J. P., made a somewhat noticd)i' speech. He said the quiet o ld t own o f K e lls had la tel y acquired a notoriety to whi c h it was long unaccus tontea• e at 11 , 1 times long gone by Kell s was di s ti ngu i s h e d as the s- t i of piety and learning, and they had still some monttune remaining —in their b eau tif u l crosses in their'old and in some monasti c rema i ns — o f what the town Avas iu , 1 :, dAys of yore ; b u t l a tt er ly K e ll s was gradually slid sinking into that doom which aw a itd every town ii'tfci County Meath. Instead o f it s hith er t o qu i e t, unobse rv, , Progress, Kells had most s u dd en ly acqu i re d a most Inl e A t viable .notoriety, an d th e t own , i n common w ith the en' county, had been p u t ou t s id e th e p a l e o f or di na ry law' 0 3 the present time it was occu pi e d b y a f orce o f police re military that would be q u it e su ffi c i en t , if the town ye . declared in a s t a t e o f s i ege, against any visible ene ra ir 3l ,; and if every oth er p ar t o f I re l an d requ i re d the , amount of physical force t o p reven t or punish out r l; they would requir e sca tt ere d over th e whole sur face of country upwards of 100,000 men. There was no gr e to difficulty in defining the causes that had led the existing state of things in that neig, l,l " ° „ - i hood and throughout the whole country. The Pe ° : „r: who were created by God had not a way' of ,„f Multitudes of them had been driven from their Wt .

Was there any man i u e a senses who would say that if Englishmen had been tre3t a; Irishmen had been treated, they would not have he as bad in committing outrages? They would have heed • far away and worse than Irishmen ever were. The lan was shut up on the people, they had no opportunity earning their bread, and if they turned criminal, no on could wonder at the result. ADULTERATION OF TEA. 1 Formerly, it appears, tea was ad u lt era t e d with 0' , leaves of various pants, and s o ex t ens i ve ly did the Pr 3 l tice prevail that it was actually announced that so le'4 • injury had been done to the ti m b er o f woo d s a nd un der woods. But from the report of the Commissione rs Inland Revenue, it would app ear th a t ' sc i en ce has oh' viated such a necessity. I ns t ea d o f su b s tit u ti n g Eng lis for Chinese leaves, modern tea-dealers revive the aPP. e t t e ante of the exhausted article. Prussian blue and a h an d guns give what is called a "fa c i ng " t o bl ac k tea; „ Po t there are materials, it is to b e feared, 13c b., of so innocent a na t ure , by w hich h ,, t ice tea is conv e rt e d i n t o green . Thi s l a tt er Prtior appears to be so general as to have become a ten d it and recognised p ar t o f th e t ea -d ea l er ' s b us i ness ; iotls is not a little amusing to see how entirely uncont to they are of the real nature of their acts. They write the Board of Inland Revenue that they doubt wu e " to .it can be contrary to any statutory provisions 1 , 0 convert black tea into green ; that, if this realliy, the case, they must, of course, give up the practict; bat that they hope to find the Inland Oilicers are mistaken in so informing them, as i t , r fe• be extremely inconvenient to th em , an d a gre at int er rence with their trade. The Commi ss i oners a dd that t t d fear they may be open to the re p roac h o f h av i n g dePa r i n from the calmness of official style and phra,seolog. s, pointing out to some of these gentlemen in their relmlete that there is another law besides that in the statu 0 book which they had somewhat contravened. Nothin,:;ts shew better the state of feeling upon this subject among. dealers than the following letter from one of them the commissioners of Inland Revenue.—Gentlemen , th e scarcity of green tea having taken place, while we be an abundant supply of black tea this season, I su e '___ls much obliged by a reply to the following .question: it legally tight to stain black tea green, or vice versd , such staining there being no increase in the weight, e llc t tea having duly paid the legitimate duty ?—Your 113 ": 0 obedient servant." The board have lately had a e3 " r under consideration which shews howgrievously the P ee : . „ - i s classes are defrauded in the article of tea. The detect, l "„t was made in the north-east of London. It appears Lon . the proprietors of some of the docks and wharves in - 1-40- ; don where tea is bonded, have been in the habit of P e j mitting the sweepings of the warehouses to be rere ev ,jcl by certain persons, who at one time were P. for taking them away, but who latterly, in have sequence of the demand for such sweepings, h a% • had to pay for the m . Th ese sweep i ngs w ere sil o quently picked and sifted, an d cons id er able quan ti ke t of impure tea were obtained, for which a ready ma r l b. was found as "tea-dust," at from Bd. to is. 4d- ,P ar Ito Samples of this tea b e ing sent to the Inland Rev C ot t Laboratory for a na ly s i s , p ro duced the followin g re e r report from Mr. Phillips :—" The tea bought atSd . P e r lb. consists of small fragments of tea-leaf, pine and ° „t.b a t woods, a trace of starch, a n d 24'39 p er cen t of s aud. purchased at ls. per lb. consists of fragments of tea-le` ls t pine, and other woods, a trace of s t arc h, an d 1- o. ° cent of sand. The sample purchased at is. 4d. Pa k ], consists of a mixture of green and bl ac k t ea , bits W ° ' r and 6 . 69 per cent of sand. ' The Pall 31a11 Gazette thinks these observations of 4rs t b t Board of Inland Revenue clearly shew that in th e F t - i se place the officers of Customs-should have power to re evo to admst suspicious tea for home consumption, ,D 9,0 when the duty is paid. Anything more absurd ", sr e their not having such power in cases w i t to they are certain of its spurious quality it is diffie l L i ll imagine. In the second place, there should be a Pr, e .r; o f constituted staff of inspectors to detect adulteratio n ' e d tea after importation, as well as home-mandac t ."b e d spurious tea, and all offenders should be severely P lU ltioo on'detection. This, of course, necessitates a little a u; ls, on the part of the Treasury and the Home Office, wr, e o st perhaps, as it only affects our health andcomfort, is 3 ' w " .- too much to ask.
