SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING. THE EDUCATION BILL. The Times considers that the position of the education question demands nothing but courage on the part of the Ministry. The principles of their bill, as first drawn, commanded the assent of the public, and as far as they have departed from them they have lost the strength afforded by this assent. All that was wanted was better security that the principles of the bill should be faith fully observed by the Local Boards who would have the charge of working them. The efficiency of an education law must depend upon Local Boards just as the efficiency of the Poor Law depends on the spirit and ability of Boards of Guardians. The question remains, What should be done now ? We answer, let us have no more vain attempts to accomplish impossi bilities. Those who think that the proposition cannot kr a moment be permitted that any man should be taxed to contribute to the support of a system from the working of which he dissents must be left to find out that if they hold to this doctrine they must abandon all dreams of providing any national system of education. What the Gove isn't must do, discarding further efforts to eduoate the be - . ered minority, is clear. They must make it more plain t an at present appears in their bill that their scheme does not contemplate, and would not encourage l any further increase in the number or activity of denominational schools, and that they are bent on forming school boards having in their own composition the guarantees of unsectarian administration of the trusts committed to their charge ; and, having made so much as this plain, they should at once relieve the troubled minds of distracted supporters below the gangway by letting it be known that they have promulgated their ultimatum. The St lard 11,yo that yesterday's debate upon the Education ill will Count for very little if it is regarded from the debating stand point, but, perhaps, no sitting the House of Commons has given to the consideration of this host important question possesses more real interest. And that interest, we may say at once, lies in the speeches of two members, who represent the Radical discontent with the original form of the bill and with the alterations announced on Thursday evening by Mr. Gladstone. Sir fO. B. Adderley, Mr. Cowper-Temple, and Lord R )bent Montagu addressed the House with considerable ability, to much effect, and, as we must add, on the right side ; but their expressions of old, but not worn out, truths, have under the circumstances, small importance compared with the deliverances of Mr. Miall and Mr. Vernon Harcourt. Mr. Miall is, oddly enough, a cham pion of secnlar as well as compulsory education. Mr. Harcourt oddly enough, we may add, is a champion of religious education, if only—and this is an important qualification—the religious instruction can be cut after his own pattern. Theykgree to differ, but they practically differ to agree. Mr. Miall's secularismis really equivalent to Mr. Harcourts unsectarianism. The Post declares that if Mr. Miall was allowed to have his way we should have denominational teaching in a form which would be for more likely to delay, and perhaps render impossible, that fusion of sects and creeds which, no doubt with a perfect sincerity, he professes to desire. In what was emphatically the great speech of Tuesday's debate, Mr. Vernon Harcourt pointed out this tendency of Mr. Miall's suggestions; and it is worthy of remark that, so far as the discussion of Mr. Richard's amendment has gone nothing is more observable than the want of harmony of ideas and policy on the part of the Liberal members who have taken their stand against the bill. They agree to differ with the Government, but they agree in little else. Mr. Vernon Harcourt is opposed from first to last to denominational education, and nothing can be more consistent than his views upon this question, whether they are sound or not. He sees in the mental progress of the people of England an increasing tendency to get rid of old notions, and to arrive at a footing of agreement with those from whom they were formerly cut off by a widely divergent policy. Looking to what has been said in the course of the debate it may be doubted whether there is an appreciable difference in the religious teaching of a Church of England school as compared with that of the Dissenters' schools. All the evidence goes to chew that there is not. This would satisfactorily explain the indifference of parents as to what school their children attend, provided only that it is 'a school in which religion is taught, and it is a point *hich may be recommended to Mr. Vernon Harcourt's best consideration. He declares himself opposed to secu lar education. He insisted on Tuesday, in eloquent terms, on the necessity of religious education, provided it is unsectarian. If it is at present substantially unsecta rian his objections to the bill are anticipated; if it is not altogether as unsectarian as he could wish, any objections he may have to urge against the bill upon this ground may be nroperly ukged in committee. AII,I3MIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY RILL. The Times is not surprised that the law lords exhibited their usual ingenious diversity of opinion in the matter of the Married iNomen's Property Bill last night. The reeamire has passed the Commons, where it has been pre ferred by a large majority to a rival measureless thorough in its principle and less complete in the remedy it affords. The change in the law would at once give a better posi tion to every woman, and not merely to the woman who is sufficiently provoked and sufficiently strong-minded to take an unusual and most hostile proceeding against her husband. It would not supersede marriage settlements, for the settlement is as much to protect the woman from herself as from her husband ; but it would in thousands of households give greater moral influence to the wife, and tend to the happiness and prosperity of both her husband and herself. Indeed, the right of women to the possession and disposal of property being admitted, we cannot believe, until it is shown by argument strongez than any used in the House of Lords last night, that dm ceremony of marriage ought to " act on a woman like a conviction for felony," and reduce a person of aside pendent fortune into a dependent on the bountynf ane THE NEWARK ACCIDENT. A frightful collision on the Gl. eat Northern line (says the Telegraph), with a sacrifice of at least sixteen lives, comes to enforce, with disastrous emphasis, a repetition of the lessons and warnings which past horrors of the kind have rendered too familiar. As in the case' of a similar calamity some time ago in the same district, the sufferers were excursionists, returning home in crowded carriages. The collision was of tremendous force, and the destruction of human life was instantaneous and extensive. The first reflection, indeed that most people will make on reading the story, will be the very obvious one —how closely liable is every passenger train in ;ntiond to such an accident at all hours of the day or night ! While we have double lines of rails and a con stant stream of traffic flowing both ways, it is simply Im possible to plan any absolute prevention of such casualties as that of yesterday morning. The Daily News supposes it would be too much to ex pect that the excursion season should pass over without accident. It seems to be a law of Nature that the num ber of aeaths should bear some average to the extra num bar of persons who travel by railway during the excursion period. The first contribu:ion to this fatal average has been made by the Great Northern line—a line that has been by no means distinguished for the number of its acculenEs. Happily in this instance, at least so far as we can judge at present, the accident appears to have been really accidental. Neither the guards, nor the engineers, nor other servants of the company, are impli cated, as in other railway accidents, in the present fatal catastrophe. But an occurreuce like this makes it some what awful to contemplate the lose of life which would result if it happened that two fast trains filled with pas sengere, should come into collision from opposite points. And the present calamity proves that such an accident is quite possible. OUR HARVEST PROSPECTS. Since the welcome rain of last Thursday the British public, says the Taleqraph, especially that section repre sented by the British farmer—has been in the position of the dissatisfied boy, Oliver Twist, who presumed to " ask for more." No doubt, the rainfall came too late to recover the grazing season ; and thus, probably, after some hurrying of half-fed animals off to market, meat may be scarce in Autumn and winter. Feeding roots for winter, however—mangolds generally, and turnips where they were not too early forward, to have suffered from the drought—may . both be moderately good crops although the turnips may give the shorter yield. Young clover and seeds will run some risk, should the want of moisture continue ; while barley and oats are so short in the stem, that good yields can hardly be expected, although even yet it is not too late for barley to turn out a good crop. Taking the whole country, wheat, we believe, can hardly give such a splendid crop as in 1868, even with the meet wonderfully propitious weather following on the tempo rary relief of last week. The moisture came too late to thicken the plant ; and, as the short stems are now burst ing into ear, the ultimate yield of the crop may not be great. Of course, every day may . alter the prospects of this important branch of our agricultural produce ; but, so far as present experiences shew, the produce must be below an average. The long-desired fall has saved the country from a great loss, but it has been too long delayed to prevent large and costly sacrifices of advantage that, with more timely weather, might have been enjoyed. The loss already sustained throughout the country must be measured by millions, nay, by tens of millions sterling; and, if this sum is not to be increased, we must earnestly hope for the falling of further rain. It does no good to blink actual and tested facts ; and what we have now said, on sound technical authority, may usefully shew those who are interested, that they should anticipate no extra vagant advantage from the rainfall—welcome as it was— which came very late and ended very soon. CATHOLICS IN THE NAVY. Comunenting on the position of Catholics in the navy, the Dublin Freeman says that there are about one hun dred and twenty Protestant chaplains attached to the fleet, one being on board each large vessel. Taking the proportion of the Catholics in the fleet as low as 16 per cent., though it is estimated at 20 per cent., the principle of religious equality would allow eighteen Catholic chaplains to the navy. One Catholic chaplain should be attached to each squadron, who should be borne on the books of the flag ship. He should be a commissioned officer, like other chaplains in the army and navy. The naval hospitals might also have the benefit of a resident Catholic chap lain, as at the military hospital at Netley. NAVY RESI NATIONS. The Morn iv Post contains the following announcement: —" Vice-Amiral Sir Robert Spencer Robinson, K.C.B , and Mr. Edward J. Reed, C. 8., have tendered the re signation of the offices of Controller and Chief Construc tor of the Navy, which they held respectively." Th e Pall Mall Gazette is enabled to say that this announce ment is correct, and that the resignations have been ac cepted. A plan for a system of tramways in the streets of Calcutta has been submitted to the Government. The estimated cost is £2,000 per mile. TOWER-HILL INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. LAYING THE FIRST STONE. THE COSTS IN THE MORDAUNT CASE. In Lord Penzance's Chambers on Tuesday morning Mr. Inderwick, on behalf of Sir Charles Mordaunt, applied that £3OO, which had been paid to the respondent's attorney for costs of maintenance, pending the hearing, should be allowed in the taxing of the costs of the hearing as against the petitioner.—Lord Penzanee could not separate the costs from the maintenance, and therefore made no order,—A further application was made by Mr. R. Searle, on behalf of the guardian ad litem. He said that the respondent had been placed in the hands of certain persons by order of the court, and her relatives were not allowed by Sir Charles to see her ; and he now applied that the blood relatives of Lady Mordaunt should be allowed to see her.—Lord Penzance said that it was a matter in which he could not interfere. Setting apart all mere differences of religious faith or creed, there can be no doubt whatever that when the members of the Roman Catholic Church undertake any good work for the amelioration of suffering or the training of the human faculties to some useful end, they enter upon this self-imposed task con amore, and with that one com mon unity of purpose that always so strikingly characterises their beneficent efforts ; and which, in itself, must be simply admirable to all sects of the Christian community. Whether it be a magnificent bazaar in the noble Free-Trade Hall of Man cnester, or the initiation of an industrial school in the very centre of the lowest purlieus in our modern Babylon, ladies of distinction and high rank are ever foremost in the attempt to elevate the moral and mental status of those who are socially beneath them ; and being friendless themselves, therefore they more need help from those whose influence and worldly means can give it. Looking at the broad question in this general light, it was a pleasant thing, on this glorious mid summer afternoon, to see one of the most densely popu lated and dismallest localities in our overcrowded metro polis, brightened and irradiated, so to speak, by the presence of rank, fashion, and beauty—all combining by their presence, their sympathy, and aid to the accomplish ment of a result in a purely practical form, which, in its way, will do more to solve one of the great social enigmas of the age than all the sectarian arguments and sage deliberations which have nightly occurred within the precincts of the palace at Westminster. Here, almost on the site, a recollection of which conjures up historic recollections of the most painful kind, we find a lady, distinguished as a member of the ex-Royal Family of France, unpretentiously " laying the first stone" of an inornate structure hereafter to be devoted to the recla mation of children from vicious courses, and the, fitting them by educating and training them for honest labour, to become useful members of society, and in which they will have hereafter to fight the stern battle of life. The other gratifying feature presents itself, the commingling of ladies and gentlemen of different denominations to eradicate the dire effects of crass and stolid ignorance, which is one of the greatest social evils of the day. In no part of London, perhaps, than in this densely-packed human hive are the beneficial influences of wise teaching ' and good example more strongly needed. Surrounding our old metropolitan citadel are numberless abodes of poverty, of honest, struggling toil for daily bread, and also of crime. Growing up amidst these habitations there are many hundreds of young untrained minds, which it is sought to direct in the right path. In fact the Tower-hill District is exceptional in respect to population and indigence. There are 1,500 children who require to be educated and reformed. One-third of these have access to temporary schools of an inadequate kind ; and a noble effort has now begun, under the auspices of H.R.H. the Princess Marguerite of Orleans, the very Rev. Monsignore Capel, the Earl of Denbigh, the Duke of Norfolk, and a distinguished number of ladies and gentlemen. The site in Chamber-street has already been paid for out of the funds raised for the day and night Indus trial Schools, which will accommodate upwards of 1,000 ; and the cost of the schools is estimated at £2,500. The proceedings commenced about half-past three o'clock. The ceremony took place in the temporary schoolroom. At the head of the room was placed a substantial block which was to be the corner, or rather " first" stone of the'new building. There was a goodly company present. A crimson covered dais was erected around the stone, and above it was a canopy entwined with graceful festoons and devices in evergreens and beauteous summer flowers. Whilst the audience was quietly expectant of the coming ceremony, there arose softly above a hushed and subdued murmur of voices the solemn notes of the organ and delicately manipulated by the skilful hands of the Chevalier Lem mens. Then came an exceeding fair procession of little maidens, all of whom seemed to have a wreath of hair that had been touched and gilded by the radiant sun beams. They were all clad in simple white garments, and looked very pretty as they defiled along to the front of the platform. The Very Rev. Monsignor Capel and others of the Roman Catholic priesthood. The fair, bright eyed, and smiling young scion of the memorable house of Orleans, who was attired in one of the most simple yet charming costumes of the period, was led to her seat amidst suppressed admiration and applause by Lord Denbigh, the chairman of the building committee. As soon as her royal highness had taken her position on the right side of the stone, her youthful sister, by whom she was accompanied, occupying a place on the other side, a flaxen-haired little maiden, advanced and with low voice, but well modulated accent read to the Princess the following simple address from the children connected with the school : " In the name of the religious fathers of this Church of the English Martyrs, of all the benefactors and well wishers of this mission, and of our parents, who earnestly desire for us the blessing of a good Catholic education, we the Irish children of the Tower-hill district gratefully thank your Royal Highness for having come this day to lay the foundation stone of our future schools. May God bless and reward you for this act of kindness, and we feel honoured and gladdened by your 'presence. It rejoices our hearts to see, for the first time after the lapse of many centuries, a Catholic Princess—a Royal daughter of St. Lewis—amongst us poor children of St. Patrick. We thank you for the interest ypu take in all our works of charity. We wish you every prosperity on earth, and in heaven a crown as bright as that of your namesake and patron saint, the blessed Queen Margaret ; and we beg you madame, to accept these simple flowers as a token of our humble gratitude." Another pretty child then came forward and presented to the Princess Marguerite and her sister two beautiful bouquets of the choicest flowers of the season. Her Royal Highness gracefully acknowledged the com pliment, and the ceremony of laying the foundation stone was then proceeded with under the superintendence of Mr. Young, the architect. The Earl of DENBIGH gave some interesting details of the mission, and said the success which had resulted from it was mainly due to the unceasidg efforts of Father Ring and his brother clergymen. The Rev. Father RING followed in a clear and concise speech, showing the benefits that had been conferred upon the Irish community, whom the mission was espe cially intended to benefit. The assistance received from even the poorest persons in the district and letters from other wealthier friends of the Church led him to hope for the best results. The Earl of GRANABD moved a resolution in support of the object of the mission, which was eloquently seconded by the Very Rev. Monsignore Capel, and adopted unani mously. A special vote of thanks was accorded to the Princess Marguerite, who quietly acknowledged the compliment, and the proceedings closed with a benediction. Last, but certainly not least, in our hurried note of the proceedings we must mention that Madame Lemmens-Sherrington sang the delightful " Ave Maria" of Cherubini with a tenderness of sympathy and expression that literally enchanted her select and enthusiastic audience. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The Select Committee of the House of Commons on the subject of the Abyssinian Expedition resumed its sittings on Tuesday. Mr. Adamson, a city merchant, and contractor for the supply of steam coal, was examined, and stated that his firm offered to deliver best Cardiff steam coals at Annesley Bay at the rate of 78s. per ton. The offer was made in the early part of 1868, and the reply received from the Admiralty was that they were not prepared to accept the offer. The only reason given us was that they had made an arrangement with the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the supply of coal. Subsequently they renewed an offer for the supply of 5,000 tons. They had at the time a vessel called the Scotland, 1,100 tons burden, on her voyage to Bombay, having on board 1,700 tons of coal. The price of coal at that time at Bombay was 88s., and they offered to deliver it at Annesley Bay at 725. per ton, but the offer was refused. The offer was made before the arrival of the ship at Bombay. At that time they knew that the Go ernment were buying coal on disadvantageous terms. Had their offer been accepted in the first instance a con siderable saving would have been effected. The amount of the freight during the time she was engaged was about £4,680, which was in excess of the sum which would have been paid had the offer for the delivery of the coals at Annesley Bay been accepted. Sir Stafford Northcote was then examined, and stated that so far from throwing cold water on the plan proposed by Captain Sherard Osborne and the Telegraph Construction Company, they gave their offer every consideration, and it was only after the matter had been twice considered, by the Treasnry and the Indian authorities, that they came to the conclusion that, inas much as the cable could not be laid before the 15th of December, and as they had hopes that the ob ject of the expedition might be accomplished by the mere landing of the troops, it was not necessary to incur the expense especially as the Commander-in-Chief could, by running despatch boats to Suez convey his orders with consider able rapidity. They had no doubt of the immense utility of the cable if it could only be completed in time. With respect to the stores, which were afterwards useless, he did not think that any of those supplies would have been stopped in consequence of having the telegraph.—After some further evidence the committee was adjourned. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EN ENING, J UNE 22, 1870. SPANISH AFFAIRS. The question of Slavery has been discussed in the Spanish Cortes. Signor Castela was in favour of the im mediate suppression of slavery. He showed that an in crease of prosperity often followed upon the extinction of slavery. His speech was well received. The proposed vote of censure on the civil and military authorities was rejected. AN EXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE. In the Probate Court an application was made to Lord Penzance, in reference to the costs in the well-known cause of "Grimston v. Timms."—lt will be remembered that John Hutley, a cheesemonger, died worth £120,000. He, at a very advanced age, married the present wife of Timms, the defendant, and after his death she married the surgeon within six months. The plaintiff, as next of kin, disputed the will, and it was upset by a special jury.—Dr. Spinks now said that the Court had granted an order for costs, amounting to £9Ol 4s. 3d., as against the defendants, and he had now to apply that a ji. fa. might issue for that amount. Dr Tristram opposed, stating that the executors were liable as much as the Timms.—Lord Penzance said he could not separate the order and granted the application of Dr. Spinks.— The case when tried in the Probate Court lasted more than a week, and it is now in Chancery. THE LATE CASE OF CLERICAL WILL MAKIN G. In the Probate Court, before Lord. Penzance, Dr. Swabey, in the cause of " Hill v. Goss," on behalf of the next of kin, asked for Bishop Goss to be condemned in the costs of the suit.—Sir John Karslake did not see that the learned judge would think the case one in which the propounder of the will ought to pay them.—Lord Penzance said that the propounder was the person who knew all about it.—Sir John Karslake : But Canon Fisher knew nothing about the witness Rushworth and others.—Lord Penzance said that when a case rested on the soundness of mind of the testator—and the person who propounded the will knew best how that was—it was usual in case the will was upset to condemn him in costs. Sir John Karslake : But that was not Dr. Goss. He was not present. Lord Penzance said that technically and logi cally before Hill could be admitted as a party to the suit it was necessary that he should prove he was next of kin. Such a course would havebeen adopted ; but as it was foundthat it would delay the case for the time the question of kin ship was warned, as was also the question of Hill's locus standi. After some further discussion it was agreed that the costs of the alleged next of kin should be_paid into court to await the decision as to whether the Hills were next of kin or not. CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTITUTIONS. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the laws under which the property of these institutions is held resumed their sittings on Tuesday. The inquiry seems to have lost none of its interest, the room being crowded with ecclesiastics and others interested in the proceedings. Mr. Cuddon was recalled and said that, as the committee had expressed a wish to have the numbers of the gentlemen who perform religious offices, he could state that a few days ago the number of priests in Great Britain was 476, en gaged in the ten colleges and also in the 121 parishes. He also mentioned that the number of young men being pre pared for religious offices was three hundred. That was not including the eleven hundred gentlemen in the col leges. The three hundred were preparing for the regular priesthood. The number of men called lay brothers or gentlemen's servants engaged in the colleges were 200. They performed the duties of servants. In regard to the acreage of the monasteries, he stated that a large number were in one county in which this measure was customary. The total number, if calcu lated according to statute measure, would be 400 additional, making 2,432 altogether. The principal land held was in Lancashire. The total rental of 1,600 acres belonging to religious bodies, but not held by colleges, was £3,400 a year, so that the total income would be £10,350 from per sonal estate, and £3,400 a year from land. He confined his information to the communities of men. Mr. Dewar was next called and examined by Mr. Newdegate. He stated that he was late assessor of land in Perth. He was acquainted with a house of the Re demptorist order and eighteen acres of land at Kinnoul hill, Perth. The name of the property was St. Mary's Redemptory, Kinnoul, and it was valued at £350, including the ground. It was returned as being the property of the Re v. Mr. Coppin and others. He had assessed the property when he was assessor for the the borough, and was held from. Kinnoul. The date of the contract between Lord Kinnoul and certain priests, was from Whitsunday, 1869, to Whitsunday, 1870, and it was set down as buildings. Mr. Coppin is the superior of the order, but Mr. Vaughan is the superior of the institution. He was set down in the valuation list as clerk. The witness then read a circular stating that any gentleman requiring a retreat for a short time could obtain that there, and there would be a public retreat from Wednesday to Saturday. He resided nearly opposite the institution, and had frequently seen the members of the order dressed in their peculiar dress in the grounds of the institution to the number of twelve or more. He believed that the institution had recently acquired an accession of property from an officer in the army. The witness then described the house. He also knew the convent of St. Joseph, Perth. . The Hon. Miss Elizabeth Langdale was the superior. The rental was £72. The house and garden cost upwards of £l,BOO. The original price of the house was £2,000. They rented it at first, and afterwards purchased it. There were eight or nine females in it. That establishment was opened by a religious ceremony on the 31st. The circular inviting the visitors was read, and stated that the Redemptorist Fathers were about a hold a service to our Lady of Perpetual Suffering, at the chapel adjoining their homes at Kinnoul. He knew the Rev. Mr. Smith. of Oakley, and believed he preached a sermon on the oc casion of the opening. The witness then stated that the sermon was reported in the local newspapers, and that he would produce an authenticated copy if it was required. Mr. Newdegate explained that the sermon in question contained the history of the order and the means by which the property had been acquired. By the Chairman : He was perfectly aware as was everybody else that these institutions both the monastery and the nunnery were religious institutions. The Rev. Mr. Vaughan was rated both as owner and occupier of the monastery, and Mr. Fynch as owner of the convent. He looked upon them precisely as other owners and occu piers. He had not heard any objection being made to them on the ground of theirbeing illegal or not sanctioned by law. By Mr. Jessel : He knew nothing of the occupation of the people in the monastery. Some of the ladies were employed in the penitentiary and others in teaching in the school. By Mr. Matthew : His impression on looking at the deed was that half a dozen clericals were named as the trustees. _ _ _ _ Mr._ Robertson was called and examined by Mr. Newde gate. He said that he was a solicitor of Glasgow ' and oould give the committee evidence as to the property of the Vincentian Fathers of Lanark. Mr. Sherlock stated that he objected to any evidence of this institution, because it was a secular order, and the inquiry was into monastic institutions. Mr. Newdegate replied that the same objection would apply to the order of the Jesuits, and of the Oratorians. It was extremely difficult to distinguish between the two, but he thought that evidence could be produced to shew that the inquiry would extend to them. On this point the room was cleared, and the Committee remained for some time in deliberation. On the re admission of the public the examination was proceeded with. The witness produced a copy of the conveyance of the property of the Vincentian order of St. Vincent de Paul and the sisters of charity, to the Roman Catholic bishop, and various other trustees, all being Roman Catholic dignitaries and priests. The property was 113 acres in extent, and of the value of £B,OOO. The property held for the Vincentian fathers stood on a separate piece of ground to that of the Sisters of Charity. The title deeds of their property had been registered. The cost of the chapel and schools and build ings was about £lB,OOO. This was commonly known as the Lytham Institution, at Lytham Park. There was no mention in the Catholic Directory of this institution, and its services were correctly described. The service of the Mass was offered once a fortnight for the souls of the dead benefactors and members. After the death of each member, six masses were celebrated for the repose of his soul. The witness then read a form of bequest to the institution, which was of an absolute character. He also read the valuation roll, describing the various houses, chapels, schools, &c., belonging to the institution. He produced extracts from the valuation roll belonging to Jesuits and other orders in Glasgow. There was a Jesuit chapel and school at Woodside-road. The valuation was £B5 a yeae, and it was entirely taught by the Jesuit Fathers ; and there was an establishment of Sisters of Mercy, valued at £5O a year. Another society, which had an establishment at Glasgow, was one of the order of the Passionists, their property being conveyed to various branches, including the Roman Catholic Bishop and vicar apostolic of Glasgow, and a clergyman resident in London. As a general rule the chapels were not en tered in the roll. The witness also stated that he would produce the extract from the valuation list with reference to another Catholic institution in Cumberland-street. There was also some property in Glasgow held by St. Mary's Brotherhood. It was entered as belonging to a clergy man. It was a house and school to the value of £5O. The names and addresses of all the persons holding the pro perty to which he had referred were given in the Catholic Directory. The committee then adjourned. R,EcoNvEnsioN.—The report circulated by the John, Bull, to the effect that Mr. John T. Walford, of King's College, Cambridge, has returned to the English Church, is contradicted. THE FENIANS AND THE RED RIVER. The New York papers contain the following telegram, dated Toronto, Ontario, June 7 :—" It is stated that about one hundred Chicago Fenians threatened a raid on a camp at Sault Sainte Marie. Preparations having been made to meet them, it is believed that they decided to go to Dulntl% Intelligence has been received from Fort Garry that a large meeting of French settlers had been held at White Horse Plains, when fighting and resistance to the Red River expedition was unanimously favoured. It is believed that a declara tion pf independence will be issued. Riel is making no preparations to oppose the expedition. The Manitoba Bill will probably be adopted by the Red River Legisla ture. Two companies of the United States infantry have arrived at St. Joseph's." P kYMENT OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. There certainly seems to be no good reason why any person claiming to be a member of Congress, and who is ousted from his seat by a successful contestant, should be paid either in full or in part. The action of the House in such cases is equivalent to a verdict that the member has occupied a position to which he was not entitled, and the loss of pay and perquisities would be a very proper penalty. Yet we were told by Mr. Dawes that during the present session 150,000 dols., had been paid to persons who had taken their seats as members, but had subsequently been superseded. The plan proposed, of paying half com pensation in such cases, seems to us to be indefensible, for the reason that it places a.premium, so far as it goes, upon fraudulent returns. The true course would be rather to impose some penalty, like the costs of an action at law, in order to discourage untenable claims.—New York Times. THE GAMBIA SETTLEMENT. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes :—" Some curious facts are statedin connection with the contemplated sale of the settlements on the Gambia to the Government of France. No notice whatever has been given to the British merchants and others resi dent or having their mercantile establishments there, and strong remonstrances are about being made against their transfer in the manner contemplated. The recent state ments made by Mr. Monsell in Parliament, in reply to a question on the subject, are said to betray great want of knowledge of the real circumstances of the colony. According to these the only design was a rectifi cation of the frontier, whereby we were to to take in ex change a certain amount of territory on the banks of other streams in lieu of that which we have heretofore held along the sides of the great river which is the most navi gable on the West Coast of Africa. The bargain is described by those who know the country as entirely one-sided, and as having no other recommendation than that of enabling us in future to save a certain outlay on civil and military authorities upon the cost for which the position of the swamps and jungles the French propose to hand over to us will afford no pretence." GOOD NEWS FOR AMERICAN TRAVELLERS. The very small and excessively uncomfortable steamers that cross the Straits of Dover have long been a subject of wonder, as well as of disgust, to American travellers. The excuse for employing such craft has consisted in the shallow and inconvenient ports on the French side. But we in this country have not carried railway trains on steam-boats in vain, for the House of Commons has just approved what is known as the "International Communi cation Bill," the effect of which is that large steamers will be built capable of making twenty miles an hour, and of carrying twelve railway carriages on the lower, and twelve on the upper deck, so that pas sengers can go from London to Paris without changing their seats. This new traffic will be carried on independently of wind and tide, and, from the great size of the vessels, there will be little cause to fear sea sickness. In order to accommodate these vessels, special harbours are to be prepared at Dover, on the English side, and at Andrecelles, near Boulogne, on the French. Short railway trains will run to these harbours, which will be fitted with hydraulic lifts, for embarking and dis embarkinc, the trains. The Commons' approval of the bill is subject to the assent of the French Emperor, which, it is said, is certain to be given. Thus, then, a nuisance which seemed destined to be everlasting, is likely to be swept away, and European travel will be attended with one disagreeable incident the less.— Ncw York, Times. SENATOR REVELS AND HIS SISTER. The following extracts of a letter, written to two gentlemen of Brooklyn, by Senator Revels, of Missis sippi, in relation to his sister Eliza, will be found in teresting : 66 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29, 1870. " You are aware of the friendly relations existing be tween myself and my sister Eliza, of my offer, years ago, to take her to my home, as acknowledged by herself, and of her refusal to leave New York at that time. You are aware of the itinerant life which, as a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, I must necessarily have led ; that after my sister was reduced to positive poverty, through breaking her leg, she did not communi cate information of her misfortune to me, and that it was only by accident I heard of her being an inmate of the Coloured Home. All of this, which you do not know of your own knowledge, you heard her acknowledge, on the occasion of your accompanying me in my visit to her at the Home. You will remember that on that occasion she expressed no present desire to quit the Home, as being unable to bear the• removal, and regretted only that she had not accepted my offer at the time it was made, when able to have taken advantage of it. The superin tendent or physician, I know not which (having mislaid the letter), with whom I have been in correspondence,will inform you that I have communicAted with him as regards the arrangements I will make in the event of her death. In consequence of an attack upon me by a New York paper 1 am compelled to ask your attention to this matter. . Go to my sister and instruct her, so far as her poor, shattered intellect will permit her to compre hend, as to the efforts being made to ruin me in public estimation by the surreptitious use of her name ; tell her on no account must she touch a single cent of their money, for it is intended to be my blood money, and will turn to ashes in her use. You are aware she is not in a mental condition to justify the entrusting her with money, except very small sums at a time. She told me that the people about were very kind to her, and that she had everything necessary to her comfort. Oblige me by keeping a super vision over her, in conjunction with the Rev. Mr. Reay, to whom I have already spoken on the subject. If she really requires any money—that is to say, if small sums from time to time would add to her comfort—let the super intendent inform me, and I will remit to him. With an invalid wife and family, other circumstances known only to myself, and a distance of 1,400 to 1,600 miles to travel before reaching my home, I cannot possibly think of taking her there even was she able to bear the removal, which she is nct ; and nowhere else could she be so well cared for as where she is at present. By promptly attending to this matter you will not only oblige myself, but will be rendering service to that great party to which we owe so much, for it is that party which is being attacked through me. The urgency of business in my hurried trips to New York has given me no subsequent opportunity for visiting you.—Very truly yours, "H. R. REVELS." THE FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. The origin of the great fire which destroyed such an immense quantity of life and property at Pera, Constan tinople, has been discovered. A woman had sent her child upstairs to bring down a "mangal "—an open vessel containing lighted charcoal, for the purpose of cooking. The mangal fell on the stairs, a window curtain caught fire, and as the window was open and there was a strong wind blowing, the flames soon spread. Unfortunately the house was of wood, and the street in which it was situated was very narrow, and the other houses were also of wood. In a very short time the whole neighbourhood was in flames. The combustible nature of the dwellings that first caught, combined with the rushing wind which car ried large fragments of burning matter an incredi ble distance, caused the extraordinary spread of the fire. The Levant Times says that the flames, instead of rising vertically, were blown horizontally, and attacked buildings apparently a long way out of reach. Nothing—not stone nor iron, still less wood dry as tinder —could resist these fiery blasts. Iron shutters were red hot ; iron girders and bars were twisted in all manner of shapes, and the glass in the houses was all run into solid mass es. Nothing affords a more striking illustration of the terrific character of the fire, the Levant Times says, than the destruction of the British Embassy, a massive stone structure in the midst of a spacious garden surrounded by lofty walls, and provided with fire -engines and an abundant supply of water. The correspondent of the Standard says :—Whole streets were withered up, each house on either side being com pletely gutted by the flames, which must have done their work with unparalleled intensity and fury. Nothing more complete could be imagined ; had it been done by light ning, the result could not have been more fearful to behold. As if by a miracle, three churches in the very centre of this destruction remained almost wholly untouched, and I also saw an unfinished house, built of brick, only the carcase of which had been completed, standing at the corner of a street without a single mark of fire about it, though every house around it had been burnt to the ground. With these 'exceptions, nothing that came within my view had escaped—all was a blackened mass of charred. ruins. It will occupy months to clear the rubbish away alone, and ten years at least must elapse before the immense area will be again fully inhabited, rising up from its present ruins, like the fabled phoenix, more beautiful and magnifi cent than ever. It is stated that there are now 2,500 tents _pitched on the north side of the town, and from the appearance of the encampment, I have no doubt of the truth of the statement. Mrny of the poor people, though well and carefully provided for as regards food. are greatly in want of clothing, several women and children whom I saw being very scantily clad indeed ; and numbers who were not to be seen, I heard, were even still more destitute of necessary covering. Much is being. done for them, but the task is too vast to be properly accomplished here, notwithstanding the efforts made by the Government, and the subscriptions opened, by the various embassies and legations. CUBA. The minority report on the Cuban question says of the Cuban exiles in the United States, "If these persons have the passionate desire for Cuban independence which they pretend to have, their presence on Cuban soil with arms in their hands, aiding Cespedes, would be more encourag ing, as well as more seemly, than their present course." If they could join the insurgents "with arms in their hands" we dare say many of them would be very glad to ; but there are no arms for them, and the Spanish gun boats, built in New York, are pretty careful-to see that they don't get ally. Judge Orth, we suppose, would not send a regiment of exiles to Cuba, dressed in full evening costume with white gloves . ; The shame of our neutrality has been that it arms one party and disarms the other.— New York Tribune. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The minority of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs apparently dissent from the proposal to recognize the belligerency of the Cubans only because they believe that the insurgents can bemore effectually aided in another way. Judge Orth proposes that instead of a resolution of recognition we should pass a law to prevent the fitting out in our ports of ships to be used against colonists claiming independence —in other words, that we should cease to give Spain the help we withhold from Cuba. As General Banks has declared that the report surreptitiously published the other day as that of the majority does not fairly represent their present views, it will be wise to defer discussion of the rival plans until we know exactly what the majority plan is. We may add that the minority report now published was apparently, like the other, drawn up some time ago, and will perhaps be materially modified before, it is presented. In the meantime it cannot have escaped the notice of the public that neither party approves the policy of the Administra tion.—New York Tribune. THE SONG FROM " LOTHAIR." There are few tests of success more certain than that which is afforded when a work supplies material for popular songs. A ballad has just been sung in London by Madame Sherrington, called " Corisande;" suggested by the garden scene in Mr. Disraeli's Lothair.'" The dialogue is so very limited at this point in the novel, that it is not easy to conceive whence comes the material for the words. Lothair, it is true, forgetful of Theodora, and regardless of Miss Arundel, assures Corisande that he never loved any one but herself ; so that we have. to remember " when the blood burns how prodigal the soul lends the tongue vows," in order to preserve our respect for him ' • and the lady responds to this with only the eloquence of silence- However, there are songs that are potent to move the heart with very few words, and some in truth with none at all, thanks to Mendelssohn, Schubert, and others ; and the song of "Corisande" may be of this character. "Lothair " has not yet been drama tised, although it probably soon will be, nor has it vet received the honour conferred upon Sardou's " Fernande," which has been burlesqued at the Varieties. With the accomplishment of these distinctions, Mr. Disraeli's latest novel will attain the pinnacle of fame.—New York Times. THE INDIANS: WASHINGTON, June 7. The great 'council between the Indian delegates, the Secretary of the Interior, and Commissioner Parker was held at the Indian Office this morning. Several gentle men holding official positions under the Government, having relations with Indian tribes, were present, includ-. ing Gen. Smith, Messrs. Collyer and Brunot, of the Peace Commission, and others. The red men took their seats in the Council Chamber about 11 o'clock, and the conference lasted until one. They were arrayed in all the finery they possess, and were evidently much impressed with the im portance of the occasion. After the usual formalities of hand shaking hands, the commissioner announced to the chiefs that what Red Cloud had spoken to them had been thought over, and the Secretary of the Interior would now give our reply. His words were the words of the President on the subject of Red Cloud's speech. The Secretary then addressed the Indians at consider able length in relation to the requests they had made and the feeling of the Government concerning them. He said, "The white people who live on the frontier have been frightened. They say that Red Cloud and his people have been threatening them. They are afraid they will hurt the people along the frontier. We want Red Cloud and his people to say to us here, before they go away, that they will never do so, and that they will keep peace with all our people who are there ; when they have said that, and we can tell the people so, we think we will be no longer afraid to let them have arms to hunt with. There have been people killed near the Union Pacific Railroad, and we do not know who did it. Some say it was the Sioux, others that it was the Cheyennes, and still others lay it upon the Arapahoes." At this point Red Cloud, who was a very attentive listener to what the Secretary was saying, remarked that he had heard this reported before he left his country. There were no Sioux south of the railroad. They were across the Platte. Secretary Cox, resuming, said : " We will believe what Red Cloud says, but as our people are frightened, we cannot say that we will give them guns. We must wait till there is a peace with all the Indians before we can do it. Our people are not to come on the Indian reservation, but they will come out along the line of the railroads, and be near them in that way. The Government will send Mr. Brunot (whose presence at the council was indicated to the Indians) this summer to see them, and to see that they get the rations which will be sent to them. When he goes he will ask which is the best thing we can do for them. He will ask if anybody has done them any wrong, and they can tell him when he comes back. We will try to do what he says they need to have done. The great thing we want to say to them is that if they will keep peace we will try to do do everything they ask that is right." This concluded the Secretary's speech to the Indians, and after a few moments, during which Red Cloud seemed to be in a very deliberative mood, that distinguished chief arose and came to the table where sat the officials. He shook hands with those at the table in the council room, and delivered the following oration :—__ . " I came from where the sun sets. You were raised on chairs. I want to sit as I sit'where the sun sets. (Here the Indian warrior sat upon the floor, in the Indian fashion, and proceeded.) The Great Spirit has raised me this way. He raised me naked. I run no opposition to .the Great Father who sits in the White House. I don't want to fight. I have offered my prayer to the Great Father so that I might come here safe and well. What I have to say to you, and to these men and to my Great Father, is this : Look at me. I was raised where the sun rises, and I come from where he sets. Whose voice was first heard in this land? It was the red people who used the bow. The Great Father may be good and kind, but I can't see it. I am good and kind to the white people, and have given my lands, and have now come from where the sun sets to see you. The Great Father has sent his people out there and left me nothing but an island. Our nation is melting away like the snow on the side of the hills where the sun is warm ; while your people are like the blades of grass in spring when summer is coming. I don't want to see the white people making roads in our country. Now that I have come into my Gnat Father's land, see if I have any blood when I return to my home ? The white people have sprinkled blood on the blades of grass about the line of Fort Fetterman. Tell the Great Father to remove that fort, then we will be peaceful and there will be no more trouble. I have got two mountains in that country —Black Hill and Big Horn. I want no roads there. There have been stakes driven in that country, and I want them removed. I have told these things three times, and I now have come here to tell them for the fourth time. I have made up my mind to talk that way. I don't want my resers ation on the Missouri. Some of these people here are from there, and I know what I say. IN hat I hear is that my children and old men are dying off like sheep. The country don't suit them. I was born at the Forks of the Platte. My father and mother told me that the land there belonged to me. From the North and the West the Red nation has come into the Great Father's house. We are the last of the Ogallalas. We have come to know the facts from our Father why the promises which have been made to us have not been kept. I want two or three traders that we ask for. At the mouth of Horse Creek, in 1852, there was a treaty made, and the man who made that treaty (alluding to General Mitchell), who performed that service for the Government, told me the truth. Goods which have been sent. out to me have been stolen all along the road, and only a handful would reach me to go among my nation. Look at me. Here I am poor and naked. I was not raised with arms. I always want to be peaceable. The Great Spirit has raised you to read and write, and has put papers before you ; but he has not raised me in that style. The men whom the President sends us, soldiers and all, have no sense and no heart. I know it to-day. I didn't ask that the whites should go through my country killing game, and it is the Great Father's fault. You are the people who should keep peace. For the railroads you are passing through my country I have not received even so much as.a brass ring for the land they . occupy : I wish you to tell that to my Great Father. You whites make all the ammunition. What is the reason you don't give it to me ? Are you afraid I am going to war ? You are afraid lam goinc , to war? You are great and powerful, and lam only a'handful. Ido not want it for that pur pose, but to kill game with. I suppose I must in time go to farming, but I can't do it right away." Each sentence of this speech was received with loud grunts, denoting hearty applause, from the Indians •present. After Red Cloud concluded, Little Bear made a short speech, complaining of bad treatment by soldiers and others while he was engaged in farming operations. Seve ral of his young men, he said, were shot while out hunting, and that ended his corn raising. He reite rated the main features and complaints of Red Cloud's speech. Secretary Cox promised to report all that had been said to the President, and arrange a time for meeting with him. The present conference practically ends the .business of hearing complaints and determining action on them, as was evidenced by the speech of the Secretary. Both Red Cloud and Spotted Tail made strong appeals to-day for the pardon of John Richard, the half-breed, who recently killed a soldier at Fort Fetterman, and who is here with Red Cloud's party as interpreter. This, they have been informed by the Commissioner, is being considered by the President. _ They were invited to an entertainment at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, but Red Cloud declined, saying if he was to see the Great Father again he wanted time to delibe rate upon what to say. The following order from the War Department, dated June 4, 1870, is published :—" When lands are secured to the Indians by treaty against occupation by the whites, the military commanders shall keep intruders off by mili tary force if necessary, until such time as the Indian title is extinguished or the lands are opened by Congress for settlement." CONNECTICUT STATE CAPITAL. Our Connecticut neighbours have been for the past few weeks engaged in a controversy on the question of a per manent State capital. From time immemorial she has had two heads—Hartford and New Haven--and they are now at loggerheads. Each desires the decapitation of the other. Hartford is a little ahead in belligerency ; but though having a majority in the Legislature, it was unable to carry its bill for want of the requisite two-thirds, and the matter has dropped for the present ses sion, to be resumed at the next. Meanwhile, the papers of the two cities are enlivening their columns with charges, countercharges, diatribes and squbs, with a view to mutual demolition. Upon one point only are both sides agreed, and that is their willingness to leave the question to the people. Either party demonstrates to its own satisfaction that the popular verdict will be for the unimpeachable truth of its own views, and challenges the other to " come on." To the unbiassed- outsider it natu rally occurs that herein is considerable waste of printers' ink. ' Why not stop quarrelling and go to voting ?—New York Tribune. THE BANKING BILL. The new Banking Bill has been introduced in the House, and various amendments were submitted, but no action was taken on any of them. The bill, authorises additional National Banks, and a further expansion of the currency by 95,000,000 dollars, propositions which naturally excite much opposition. The debate would have been wholly without interest but for the incidental recitation by Mr. Morgan, of Ohio, of the Democratic platform of 1872. That important document, as now predicted, will not declare the war for the Union a failure as that of 1864 did, nor proclaim repudiation as in 1868, but will announce as the great issue opposition to " bloated. bondholders" and National Banks, and favour to in creased issues of greenbacks. The Democrats were still further enlightened and encouraged as to party prospects by the gushing announcement by Mr. Samuel Cox of New York that he means to "stand by the platform of the Democracy in 1872." We have no doubt of it. Mr. Samuel Cox could always be trusted to stand by any con ceivable platform the masters of the Democracy chose to make for him—always, except when he ate all his former words, seeking to persuade a Republican Senateto confirm Andrew Johnson's nomination of him for a foeeign sion.—./Vew York Tribune. THE NEW FRENCH MINISTER TO WASHINGTON. By a cable despatch we learn that M. Prevost-Paradol has been appointed French Minister to Washington. We are glad to learn that in this particular case rumour has taken the shape of fact. Among all living French states men there is no more respectable name than that of M. Fr6vost-Paradol. Paradol is yet a oung man, having been born in 1829. In 1861 his "]loge de Bernardin Saint Pierre " won the prize of the French Academy. During all the years that have intervened from that time until now he has been reaping honours. His books have been coming out every year ; and each successive book has more and more commanded y espect. During the time that Louis Napoleon has governed France he has sometimes won favour and sometimes suffered. On one occasion he suffered one month's imprisonment, and paid besides one thousand francs. But all through he has been one of those men who, not overmuch bound to party, saw good in all great public movements. He has never, in consequence, been a violent party man. Frenchman every inch of him, he loves progress ; and forcefully as he bounds forward, he never despises steady and consistent advancement. It is only two winters since M. Prevost-Paradol delivered a course of lectures, on France before the Philosophic Institute of Edinburgh. On that occasion, though a Frenchman, he spoke good English, and his sentiments as well as his language commanded general respect. M. Prevost-Paradol is one of the best thinkers and writers that the second empire can boast of. In addition to his many excellencies, he speaks good English. This last is a good recommendation for Wash ington. On the whole, we welcome M. Prevost-Paradol as the best man possible for Washington. Our new French Minister is a scholar, a philosopher, and a gentle man. What more do we want ? One Frenchman, De Tocqueville, has photographed the United States as he saw them. His picture is the best that we know. Much, however, as we admire De Tocqueville, we shall not be sorry if M. Prevost-Paradol improves upon his predecessor, and establishes the opinion that scholarly . Frenchmen are the best commentators on American in stitutions. Aside from all our remarks, we rejoice to know that a highly educated and politically moderate Frenchman, who fluently speaks the English language, has been sent to Washington. M. Prevost-Paradol has our good wishes.—New York Herald. TETE NEW RAILROAD WAR.—Commodore Van derbilt and Colonel Fisk are again at war, and from indi cations it would seem that these doughty commanders intend to wage the contest to the bitter end. The rumpus grows out of a refusal on the part of the Commodore to accept ticket coupons, according to previous arrangement, from the Erie Railway Company on his New York Central. Outside of the merits of the case on either side the moral is that all the inconveniences resulting from the contest will fall on the travelling public, and not on the grand railway despotisms of the country, which will doubtless keep it up without regard to anything but incomes and stocks.—New York Herald. THE HULL WORKING MEN'S ART, INDUSTRIAL, AND GENERAL EXHIBITION.—For this exhibition a large temporary building has been erected in the Corporation Field in Park-street, Hull, a central position, and not far from the principal railway station in Paragon-street. The exhibition was originated and mainly matured by working men, who have been labouring at it for many months. For a long time they did not seek ,the co-opera tion of the trading and other classes ; but latterly they have done so, and it is expected the result of the combined efforts of various classes will be a very interesting and instructive exhibition. The Mayor and Corporation of the town responded to the appeal of the exhibition committee by granting the use of a suitable site for the building, and a large and admirably adapted exhibition hall and annexes, designed by Mr. R. G. Smith, the Corporation surveyor and architect, have been built and approved. On Monday afternoon the exhibition was formally opened by Thomas Witby, Esq., the Worshipful the Mayor of Hull. The exhibition contains, besides working machinery, models, and a great variety of specimens of handicraft, a large and locally very interesting antiquarian collection and a large number of works of art, some executed for the exhibition and some lent. SUICIDE OF A COUNT.—A count, who had long been out at elbows, has just committed suicide in the Toulon prison. Some time ago he was arrested and sen tenced to a week's imprisonment as a vagabond. Being recognised as a gentleman of noble family, the prison authorities procured him a coachman's place with a rich family. He performed his duties with comfort to himself and satisfaction to his master, but, unfortunately, the latter having occasion to change his residence, discharged him. He found it impossible to get any employment, and dreading to be again taken up for a vagabond saved the officers trouble by declaring himself to be one, and asking for a lodging in prison. There being a mark against his name as an " old offender," he was placed in a class subjected to more severe' prison discipline than he had been on the first occa sion. This change of treatment weighed heavily on his mind. He had in his pocket some manuscript essays on scientific, subjects which had been rejected by many publishers, and to console himself he appealed against their judgment to that of his fellow-prisoners, but they only laughed and jeered when he attempted to read his productions to them. On going to bed he asked the gaoler to lend him a pencil ; with this he wrote upon a sheet of note paper these words—" Since everybody mocks at me, I must be an ass." Then he hung himself by his braces to a bar in his cell, and he was found in the morn ing dead.—Daily News.
