Vaughan, the select preacher before the University of Cambridge for the month of October, preached an eloquent sermon at the Univer sity Church, on Sunday, the church being filled with heads of colleges, professors, and under graduates. The preacher took for his text the first verse of the 14th chapter of Proverbs. Addressing the galleries, he reminded the undergraduates that they had all come to the University for the purpose of building. They would be supplied with their design or plan from the University. There was a time when the University built entirely on one plan, the mathematical. In this her great power lay. Many great men had been made by such a system, or under it, or, if they chose it, in spite of it. The design of classics was subsequently introduced, and more recently other designs had been added, so that it was thrown on the undergraduates themselves to select the branch of study they would pursue. Towards the close of his sermon, which was full of advice to young men on the threshhold of life, Dr. Vaughan said the Church of England was on her trial. The time was when it seemed as if her house was built entirely by folly. How was she to succeed when her friends were alienated by a cold, almost repulsive, mode of worship, and, whilst in her churches the rich had ample accommodation, there was no place for the poor? The selfishness of those days fostered an unwilling nonconformity on the part of many. The wonder wag, not that the Church had not flourished, but that she had survived. These times were now passed, or were happily passing, away. There was time for her to save herself, if wisdom was only invoked to build her house. When the Church of England set her self to seek and to save the lost by personal efforts there was hope for the future, and if the efforts made were carried out faithfully, when troublous times were before them God would be with her. THE EDUCATION ACT. The Archbishop of York has addressed a letter to the clergy of his diocese, in which he reminds them that any attempt to establish or complete church schools in a parish should be made before the close of the year. His Grace expresses the conviction, founded upon statistical information obtained through the agency of the clergy, that while the Church has striven bard to perform the duty of edu cating the people a great deal remains for it to accomplish in this direction. The Archbishop mentions the second Sunday in November, or as soon thereafter as possible, as a day for a special appeal to Church congregations to assist the poorer parishes in the work. He accepts the Educa tion Act as an honest attempt to solve a difficult problem ; but he adds that, whilst doing this justice to the measure, they must consider it their duty, as a National Church, to give, as far as may be, a reli gious education to the people. Cs, o,Ullt. LONDON,: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1870. APPALLING casualties like the loss of the Cambria, or the missing of the City of Boston, or the burning of the Amazon, or the foundering of the Captain in a gale of wind off Cape Finisterre, every now and then suddenly seizes captive the national imagina tion. The perils incurred by those who go down to the great sea in ships, the reading public at these moments realise for an interval very vividly. The smallest particulars, in regard to a shipwreck. of this startling kind, are eagerly procured from the survivors. Accounts of the calamity, as full and true and particular as possible, are greedily devoured. Incidents of such an astounding character, however, are fortunately few and far between, and come to light at very uncertain intervals. All the while, however, more or less continuously all through the fluctuations of wind and weather, casualties of a disastrous nature are occurring, by night and by day, all the year round, and this along the whole sea-board of the British Archio3pelago. To recognize this, it is only necessary to take a moment's glance at the wreck chart and wreck register isued quarterly by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The record thereby brought to view literally at a glance, in the twinkling of an eye, is a something portentous. It is like one of those grim charts pub lished on the morrow of the cholera or of the plague, shewing the localities visited by the disease, and the proportionate de vastation caused by it. Happily, while .wrecks are strewn all along our coasts, thus continually, the organization of the noble institution just now referred to is directed as continually to the saving of life and property by means of the Lifeboat service. Among all our great charitable institutions, it is the most national in its character. And, as a conse- quence of this,we are rejoiced to add that it flourishes under the able direction of an energetic board of management and an indefatigable secretary. PEACE negotiations are once more resumed, and this time with a better prospect of success than on any former occasion. The British Government has opened negotiations for an armistice, and this media tion is approved by the other Powers, and accepted by France. The circumstances are propitious in many respects. In the first place the very fact that our own Ministry has intervened is an indication that there is at least much reason to hope for a successful issue. The Cabinet has rigorously kept aloof from uninvited interference, and has publicly ex pressed its determination not to meddle with the contest until some desire for such assistance has been made known. There can be little doubt that this latter condition has been met. The position of France has not grown more hopeful since the failure of M. FAVRE'S mission to Ferrieres, :whilst the desire of the nation for peace is unmistakeably stronger. For some little time past the French press out of Paris has abandoned the " last drop of blood" attitude which marked it just after Sedan. Thinking Frenchmen are coming to the conclusion that all useful, and almost all possible, sacrifices have been exacted in vain from their country. The fight has been fought, and the hope of success no longer remains. Further resistance would be suicidal. Such are the half uttered thoughts which find vent in the public organs all over France; whilst, at the same time, a desire for mediation, especially on the part of Eng land, is openly expressed. The Republican Govern ment has perceived that if it seeks an end to the war, the step will be justified by great part of the nation : indeed it is probable that the extreme men of their own party will be the only malcontents. Encouraged by such symptoms it has asked the assistance of England, and has* met with a prompt and satisfactory reply. To England's in quiry the neutral powers assent, and it has long been known that Germany considers both her success quite sufficiently great, and her losses far too over whelmingly heavy. Under such conditions it would be more than im politic—it would be wicked—to delay action. It is true that when details are considered numerous great difficulties present themselves. The situation is one of extreme perplexity. The conditions of a preliminary armistice will give great trouble, for it is obvious that such a cessation of hostilities must, under the circum stances, be beneficial to one party or the other. Either the French in Paris and Metz must further trench upon their slender stock of provisions without any corresponding advantage, or they must, to the injury of the Germans, be allowed to revictual. The question of the governing power in France is also perplexing, for though the Republicans are now in possession, the Imperialists urge their claims, and are agitating in all directions for recognition. Lastly, there are the diverse views of the two nations as to the terms of peace. These are formidable obstacles. They, nevertheless, need not be deemed insuperable. If the armistice be agreed to only when it is seen that an ultimate settlement is all but certain, and if the Constituent Assembly be left to an unfettered decision respecting the form of Government, a way through the labyrinth seems to present itself. As to the terms of peace, it is very evident that the French no longer rely upon pre serving their territory intact: they are prepared to yield something. TOPICS OF THE DAY. THE POPE UNDER SURVEILLANCE. Residents in Rome complain greatly of the strict supervision maintained over the Pope and all his sur roundings. The arrival of General La Marmora has restored order in the city, but has not improved the position of the Pope himself. The latter has refused to see the emissary of the Italian Government, and has ordered--Cardinal Antonelli to refuse likewise ; so that the position of the General is somewhat em barrassing. The situation altogether is daily grow ing more complicated and more uncertain, and the Pope's friends and supporters declare that nothing short of his departure from Rome will preserve the spiritual independence of the Holy See. Persons entering and leaving the Vatican, especially if they are priests or the servants of ecclesiastics, are sub jected to vexatious scrutiny, and a rigorous surveil lance is maintained over all postal and telegraphic communications, so that the Papal party assert that it is materially and morally impossible for the work of the Church to be carried on. "It is necessary to go out, so as to re-enter," say persons high in the confidence of the Pope, and it is most likely that some movement will be made if the present blockade of the Vatican be maintained. The Pope is described as being in good health, but looking sad and anxious, and being greatly affected by the necessary suspen sion of the Council. The expected arrival of Maz zini in Rome will, it is feared by the Papal sup porters, be the signal for fresh disturbances. - tt,„. MR. ANDERSON, M.P., AND EDUCATION. Taking for his text Bishop Butler's well-known admonition that true religion has nothing to fear from inquiry, provided the inquiry be thorough and complete, Mr. Anderson, mambo for Glasgow, has in that city been making a speech on the ultimate end of education, in which he has criticised severely a recent address on the same subject from Lord Ardmillan. The latter, Mr. Anderson declared, made his audience believe that he feared the Darwinian theory might prejudice religion. In telling them that religion should be inquired into by those anxious for the extension of education and good order in society, he qualified his remarks by making we of the words "But a Christian will inquire reverently." Mr. Anderson held that Lord Ard millan by the word " reverently " meant to say that religion had nothing to fear from inquiry provided all evidence which might seem to point adversely was re jected, and he accordingly thought his lordship's speech at Ayr was calculated to do real harm by promoting narrowness of view and intolerance of free investi gation. Mr. Anderson said that he did not for a moment doubt but that our intellectual faculties were given for the fullest exercise. He, however, agr,ed with Lord Ardmillan in believing that our finite powers were such as not to give to all, clear con victions, and in the opinion that he who once questions the simple, unsophicated faith of his childhood can never rest upon it certain, if his reason once admits the need of inquiry. OUR AMERICAN DIFFICULTY• Even should Mr. Morton ever visit England in the capacity of American Minister, it is very doubtful whether the efforts he is said to be so anxious to exercise with reference to the Alabama difficulty would result in his procuring for his Government any compensation at all for the losses caused by Captain Semmes's famous vessel. Time has almost healed the wounds which were formerly believed to have an existence in the United States, and this fact, taken in conjunction with onr own pertinacious unwillingness to recognise the right or equality of the claims through six long years, ought to shew the most discontented members of the American Senate the uselessness of making fresh demands, and the harm that is done to the relations between the two countries by protracting the dispute. Added to these views we have moreover received on the authority of a representative Englishman who is now travelling in the Northern States, a declaration to the effect that among the clerical, legal, and com mercial classes of the American people there is a strong desire to see the Alabama question settled by a determination being arrived at by the Government to abandon all idea of pressing the claims against us. THE APPROACHING ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. The investigations of astronomers have, of late, been especially directed to solar peculiarities, and, consequently, the great eclipse which is to occur at the close of this year is exciting a great amount of interest in the scientific world. Preparations have been made on a liberal scale in the United States, and a regular expedition has been sanctioned by Congress, in which the scientific observers are to bo assisted by the chief of the coast survey, an assistant from the Washington Naval Observatory, two officers of the army, and two of the navy, a grant of 30,000 dollars being made for the purpose. They will carry out a complete set of instruments, and their attention will be particularly devoted to the time of apparent contact of the sun and moon, the physical constitution of the corona, and to all the phenomena which the spectroscope, the polariscope the photometer, the photograph, and the best instru ments for magnetic and meteorological obser vations can reveal. The party are to leave the States on the 2nd of November for Liverpool, whence they will proceed to Syracuse, Sicily, where their observations will be taken. Another group of savans will start for Gibraltar, to study the solar aspects in Northern Africa. The Americans were much gratified by the success of their observa tions in August last year, when the total eclipse was visible on a regular line from a central point in Alaska to the coast of North Carolina. No eclipse was ever, they believe, so well observed, since the grand eclipse on February 18th, B.C. 3102, recorded by the Brahmins in their astronomical work, Surya Sid dihanta. The importance of some of the results obtained in 1870 have stimulated the astronomers of the United States to make extensive preparations for the minute and careful observation of the forthcoming eclipse. It is to be hoped their European fellow savans will follow their example. A NOVEL. APPLICATION. A case of perplexity has been brought under the notice of the j ndge of the Farn ham county court. 46 Broyd the Illusionist," advertised to give an entertainment, and a person named Restall, anticipating an enjoyable evening, went, accompanied by his family, to the Town-hall where the performance took place. Restall however,was disgusted with the unskilfulness of the performers, and gave an unreserved expression to his indignation, stigmatising the whole affair as a swindle. Some person, by way of retort, shouted " Broyd is not the only swindler in the town." Restall took out a summons for the recovery of 2s. 6d. in respect of a breach of contract, that being the amount he had paid for tickets. Now comes the mystery. The money seems to have been paid into court, but both defendant and plaintiff strongly protested that they had no knowledge of the payment, and Broyd, having put in an appearance at the court, claimed expenses. The Judge ruled that there had been no breach of contract, and suggested, by way of accounting for the payment of the 2s. 6d., that some sympathetic friend had deposited it. This was the only explanation of which the case was susceptible, but Mr.- Eve, the solicitor for the defendant, perpe trated a grim joke about " the money having come into court by a delusion, having been raised by some mysterious power from below." THE AMERICANS ON GENERAL LEE. The New York papers contain interesting com ments on the late General Lee. The Herald ob serves that the reunited Union cannot withhold its tribute from the departed• General, who possessed the true instincts of soldierly honour. He also deserves high praise for the course he pur sued atter his surrender. The Tribune thinks he will live in the history of his country as the most promi nent and least odious of the sons who sought her overthrow. He made a great and pathetic figure in American annals; and after his overthrow - he bore himself manfully and modestly. The Times says that he proved efficient in every service which was intrusted to his hands; and his personal integrity was well known. He believed that his first allegi ance was due to the State of his birth; but it cost him a severe struggle to throw up his commission in the Federal army. The Times also renders its tribute to the moderation which General Lee displayed after the war had terminated, and declares that by his unobtrusive modesty and purity of life, he won the respect of those who most bitterly deplored and reprobated his course in the rebellion. The greatest distress prevailed at Richmond on the announcement of General Lee's death. The effect was most crush nig, and a deep feeling of gloom pervaded the whole community. The bells of the city were tolled from sunrise to sunset. The people of Lexington were anxious that General Lee should be laid with Stone wall Jackson, whose last words were, "Bury me at Lexington in the valley of Virginia." General Lee was much admired in social lite. He was beloved by his servants for his kindness and consideration to them. He was noted for his piety, and was believed to come nearer to the ideal of the sollier and Chris tian Geneial than any man in the country. ,--_ ~, \ ~-, ' - -rj , .

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, drove out in the morning, and in the afternoon her Majesty again drove out with Prince Leopold, attended by the Marchioness of Ely. Earl de Grey and Ripon arrived at the Castle, and had the honour of dining with the Queen. The Right Hon. W. E. Forster had also the honour of dining with her Majesty. The Princess of Wales drove out yesterday, attended by Viscountess Walden. Prince Arthur, attended by Lieutenant Pick rd arrived at Frogmore on Saturday, on a visit to Prince and Princess Christian. His Royal Highness r urned to the Ranger's Lodge, Greenwich, on Sunday eve in Prince Christian left Frogmore yesterday morni visit to the Duke of Rutland, at Cheveley Park New market. WORKMEN'S INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The award of prizes in connection with this exhibition was fixed to take place yesterday at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, by the Lord Mayor of London. The proceed ings did not commence until half-past four o'clock, when his lordship arrived, accompanied by the sheriffs and other City dignitaries. By this time th' Hall presented a most animated appearance. The secretary (Mr. Patterson) stated that the exhibition had been, on the whole, a most successful one, the com petitors running through almost every class of art. Through the unhappy war, however, now prevailing, the amount of prizes at the disposal of the committee was not that which they would otherwise have had. Yet several of the honourable guilds of the city had contributed to the fund. The number of prize-takers amounted to 1,100, and it would be impossible to go through the list on the present occasion. It would, however, be ready for publi cation on Friday, which he hoped would meet with the wishes of those present. The Lord Mayor said he re gretted, as stated by the Secretary, that the exhibition had fallen in bad times; but the minds of the people had been so absorbed in the war that hardly a thought had been given to anything else. He thought, however, that these exhibitions were the commencement of technical education, for here the English labourer would be put against the Italian, for instance ; and the British workman would be the better able to distinguish his shortcomings. But it should be remembered that working men could be successful in these exhibitions without help. We must elevate every class if we wish them to take that position in the world of competition which this institution had the object of bringing about. In going through the various classes it would be evident that the requirement of the exhibitor was only that of taste, and that was only to be obtained by education. He believed the people of England were equal to any amount of art exhibitions, but there must be night schools, and schools of various kinds, so that the working man who had genius should have an opportunity of developing it by education. IRISH AMBULANCE CORPS. A returned member of the Irish Ambulance Corps, Mr. Charles White, of Haddington-road, who reached Dublin on Saturday, gives an account of his experience which is not very encouraging to Irish recruits. He states that from the time the ship La Fontaine left Dublin on Saturday evening, until Monday he and his comrades received absolutely , to food whatever. On arriving at Havre he was asked to join the French military service, and declined to do so. He was marched down to the steamer along with a batch of others, and had to return without his "kit," the value of which he estimates at £4. They felt indignant at the treatment they experienced, and complain of having been shamefully deceived. He states that about 70 have come back, but he saw some of his commies joining the service. The French screw despatch-vessel Breve arrived at Portsmouth early on Saturday morning from Cherbourg, and, after landing 24 Irishmen, sailed again immediately for Dieppe, The men landed, who are understood to form part of a body who had gone over to France from Ireland to aid the French Republic in its present struggle with Germany, left Portsmouth on Sunday morning by steam packet for Dublin. SERIOUS FLOODS IN IRELAND. The rains which have fallen for some days have caused heavy floods, in some parts of the provinces. In the counties of Louth and Meath the fields in many places are submerged, and the cabins of the poor cotters have been inundated to such an extent that the inhabitants had to seek shelter in the farmsteadings. It is asserted by some of the farmers that the rains have been more copious and constant than for the past twenty years. From the overflow of a watercourse near Derry a poor woman and child were drowned in bed. Great damage has been done to property. The Traffic on the Lough Swilly Railway has been stopped. The large bridge on the county road, at Buncrana, has been carried away by the torrent. It is onit of the most important structures in the county. THE LOSS OF THE CAMBRIA. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.) The latest intelligence received from Londonderry in reference to the loss of the steamship Cambria is that large quantities of the wreck have been washed ashore on various parts of the coast at Antrim and Donegal. A boat, supposed to be one of the lifeboats of the Mated vessel has been observed floating rapidly to the westward. It is confirmed that the body of a lady about twenty-five years of age, elegantly dressed, has been washed ashore at Dunluce Castle, !Portrush. This is supposed to have been the lady who was in the boat with McGarland. An inquest on the body was held yesterday. Including eleven children, there were 108 passengers, of whom there were 38 cabin, 16 intermediate, and 5 4 , steerage on board the Cambria when she was lost. Or these 40 were destined to Glasgow, 25 to Liverpool, 23 to Londonderry, 3 to London, 2 to Belfast, 1 to Galway, 1 to Antwerp, 1 to Copenhagen, 1 to Gothenburg, 1 to Rotterdam, 3 to Christiania, and one to Christiansund. Among the cabin passengers, in two cases, were a husband, wife, and two children, besides a lady and two children, and among the steerage passengers were, in one case, a husband, wife, and child, and in another, a husband, wife, and no fewer than four children. With respect to the crew of the Cambria, which numbered 66, the bulk of them belonged to Glasgow. The chief officer, however, Wil liam Johnstone, was from Aberdeen ; the second officer, Joseph Read, belonged to Waterford; and the third offi• cer, Richard M. Williams, to Yarmouth. The surgeon, Dr. James Woodrow Flemington, belonged to Glasgow, being the son of the late Mr. John Flemington, at one time partner in the firm of Flemington, Matheson, and Co., Trongate, and latterly a well-known mer chant and shipowner in Glasgow. Dr. Fleming ton, we believe, ranks as " commodore " surgeon of the Anchor fleet, having been longest in the company's employ in that capacity. He is about 42 years of age, in the very prime of life and health, and nV gentlemen in the profession could be or deserved to be more trusted and esteemed in every way. Miss Margaret Ann Adamson, the stewardess, was a daughter of Mr. Robert Adamson, ship master, and latterly part owner with Mr. Hastie , formerly M.P. for Glasgow. She was stewardess of the Hibernia, and received universal com mendation for her conduct during the tryind circumstances on board that ill-fated steamer, and after wards while in the only boat that escaped. Her mother was drowned at sea in a sloop bound from Hamburg to Port-Dundas, perishing in sight of her husband, from whom she had parted on his outward voyage to Arch angel, during a severe gale. Captain Adamson died shortly afterwards at Havannah, of yellow fever. The Shipping Gazette says:—Coastguards along the Derry and Antrim Coast are picking up bits of the wreck of the Cambria. It was rumoured yesterday morning that the body of a lady dressed in black had come ashore at Blackrock, but no confirmation of the report has, up to the present, been received. Amongst articles which have been washed in at Portstewart are two boxes ; one of them evidently belonging to a seaman. They were marked " Wm. Maea, Oba,n." The stern of a boat, marked " Glasgow " has also been found ; a looking-glass with the name " Henry G—n," supposed to be Gillan, on the back ; a lifebuoy marked " Cambria ; " the legs of a cabin table, and some pieces of furniture. At Blackrock an empty boat has also come in. No other survivors have as yet turned up. The Le Bas Prize, given at Cambridge for an DV lish essay has been awarded to Mr. Henry Truman Wood, of Clare College.
