Practicable forms of election and representation will develope themselves best by trying them on a small scale, where mistakes are not numerous ; and, above all, let our laity prepare themselves both for conferences and Synods by active work in the church. It is experience alone which will make their counsel useful, and experience is to be attained only by dili g ent and persevering work. The daughters of our church have herein set an example to her sons. Without touching upon the exclusive minis terial functions of the clergy, let our brethren acquire surely and effectively that personal acquaintance with the needs of the church which is the sole foundation of practical wisdom, which alone will enable them to be in church synods and conferences not merely representative a en, but veritable church-helpers.

His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph.

Colonel Ackland, M.P. for North Devon, in speaking, after inspections of volunteers in Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, by Colonel Burton, and which had not, in all eases, been favourable, said—" It it clear, if we trust what we read in the newspapers, that the country is dis satisfied with us, and especially with the officers. lam glad, as I think you must be, that we are placed directly under the general staff of the army; it will make both them and us feel due responsibility and cause the system of defence to be considered as a whole. The whole is on its trial, and I must take the '"begin my remarks with the regular army. I am of opinion that there is much there which needs im provement, especially in the want of encouragement to young . officers to study their profession, Their advance ment in no sense depends on merit, but partly on luck, partly on money. I do not mean to give an opinion on the purchase system, which, constituted as the English army is, has some advantages, but one serious evil is that domestic reasons compel some of our best officers to sell out, and their services are lost to their country. We have heard much lately about the substitu tion of armed nations for standing armies. I do not mean to go into this question. But I must say I think there is much of panic and much of needless excitement (easily to be accounted for by what is passing on the Continent) in this clamour for an increase of the numerical strength of our defensive forces. Increased opportunities are being given to our cadres, to our officers and non-commissioned officers, to make them selves and their companies an efficient nucleus of a larger numerical force. The advice I give you at the present time is that every officer and non-commissioned officer should lose no time in qualifying himself for a certificate, and earn ing £2los. for the funds of his corps. Some of the officers of this battalion have sent in their applications to go to the new schools of instruction. If I can possibly spare the time I hope to do so myself. After pointing out the necessity of strict discipline, Colonel Ackland con cluded :—Colonel Fowler Burton lies rendered good public service by pointing out the uselessness of keeping on the roll the names of men who will not attend and do their duty. The heads of the army—the generals and their staff—are now responsible for the state of the volunteers. I trust they will tell us our faults plainly, and shew us how to mend them." MIDDLE PARK PLATE.

The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions.

At the Church Congress to-day, papers were read on the question of education. The Rev. A. R. Ashwell, of Dnrham. College, said that at present new duties were laid upon the Church by the State, her head, and if the Church did her duty the present difficulties would re dound to her greater good. New forms of permanent exertions were required, under the altered state of educa tional details, from the Church corporate as a whole, and not merely individual members of it, to prevent her own schools being swept down in the secular - dream of the age. A great central unity was /laces sary to counteract the disc 3uragements !iich were acting in every point of the Church YUF. In small parishes there was no fear that religious win ing would not go on effectually, but in larger parishe the danger was great. There were two ways of meeting he difficulties, first, by taking care that the teachers in Church schools themselves were well taught in religion ; secondly, by holding local examination by diocesan boards, backed by the action of the Central Church authority. The Rev. Morgan Cowie read a similar paper, which was followed by Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., who read one in which he argued that the first result of the new condition of things, so far as the masters and the mistresses are concerned, will be that a code of class feeling will be developed, and that the clergy will not be able to rely on them in virtue of their office of Church teachers. The clergy must teach religion themselves. By this means they will best fabricate the missing link between themselves and the minds and hearts of the Englsh people, the loss of which is so often lamented. But the clergy would always find efficient lay help. After exhausting all the expe dients of local co-operation, the powerful aid of diocesan inspection must be invitedto encourage, to strengthen, and to harmonise religious teaching from parish to parish. I have already referred to the abolition of the compulsory inspection of religious teaching by the Government inspectors. The Church is bound to supply the lack in the most formal and complete manner. Such inspection ought, as far as possible, to be made compulsory on Church schools, and—as was laid down at the recent diocesan meeting at Canterbury—the inspectors ought to be paid, a special fund being raised for the purpose. The annual education meeting of the diocese must be cast in a more synodical and deliberative form than that of the familiar platform with its pre-arranged resolutions. Rather, I should say, the educational crisis is another strong argu ment for the revival in the Church of that synodical action for which we are craving, to guide and moderate our counsels. Churchmen were naturally startled at the wholesale and drill-sergeant-like interference with the special arrangements of each particular school involved in the Time-table Conscience Clause. and they overlooked possible considerations looming in the uncertain hereafter, which maynot unfrequently make the time-table system conservative of Church influence and Church teaching in the schools of the future. I have presented to you the professional school teacher as he or she will be moulded by events. Let us, then, take one of these teachers—an average person ; one of a thousand, honest and steady, but neithe r a h ero nor a missionary—and let us suppose that he or she contracts an engagements at a distinctive Church school with no particular intention of continuing there in case a more remunerative engagement should present itself elsewhere— probably at a rate-aided school ; supposing, • further, that the clergymen is apt to devolve the religious instruction on his teachers, and only puts in an occasional appearance at school ! It will be obvious that all the teacher's worldly interests will be in the direction of making the religious lesson as colourless if not as short as possible, and thereby earning a character with future employers for Churchmansbip of the most undog matic description. But, with a time-table, which com pels the teacher to devote a give la time at a given hour to relizious teaching and nothing else, the length of the lesson is secured and its importance, compared with other work, guaranteed ; while the clergyman will always know when to come down and exercise a wholesome supervision. Besides, as every well-regulated school must at all times have had a time-table for its own use, the injury is, after all, not so great of making that compulsory by law which was already compulsory by common sense. The more difficult question remains behind, of their duty in regard to rate-aided schools through which the chimera of religious teaching, apart from distinctive formularies, is to range unchecked, and from some of which religion, even in name, may be banished. There the master and mistress will hold their positions on condition of not teaching as the clergyman ought to wish them to teach ; while the clergyman will be himself forbidden to supple ment within the school building, the defects of the system by his own explanations. Here and there the school- Master, hired by the board, itself elected on the principle of minority representation, may, in spits of the exclusion of distinctive formularies, teach the faith which those formularies were framed to embody. But in too many cases,, however virtuous and personally pious the master and mistress may be, the religion which stress of circumstances will drive them to expound will be a creedless system of vague philanthropy, illustrated by detathed tales, gar bled rather than drawn from Gospel history. No clergyman who believes in his mission could stand by and not endeavour to find some remedy for this condition of things. LAY REPRESENTATION IN CHURCH SYNODS AND CONFERENCES. The first address on this subject was delivered by the Rev. Berdmore Compton, of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, London, who said—The true question before the Church is—Does our Divine Head intend the privilege of taking active part in Church Councils to be conceded to the laity. Clearly our first duty is to look in Holy Scripture for express direction on the point. But we look in vain—Scripture gives us no express direction. N4xt e turn to the practice of Apostles and Apostolic men. As soon as the distinction of clergy and laity was established, is there any trace of the admissionof the laity to council, or of their expulsion from council ? Here we have a gleam of doubtful light, and that rather adverse to the admission of the laity. In the proceedings of the first of Church Councils, that recorded in the Acts xv., admitting the doubtful reading of the 23rd verse, which seems to give "the brethren " an inde pendent status in the formal preamble of the decree, and having regard to the mention of the Church in the 22nd verse, not as a part of the tribunal by whom the deter mination was made, but as associated with it, is it not the simple view of the matter that the reference of the'points in dispute being distinctly made to the apostles and elders, these persons assembled in council and in the presence of the rest of the church discussed and adjudi cated the reference and finally announced their judgment - in the name of the whole church. Here then are the representations of the laity recognised even in their presence, but not represented by the laity in person. And when we look fur ther down in the history of the Church, still less trace is there of lay representation in any sense resembling our modern idea of it. In the chief inspired accounts of later churches which have been vouchsafed to us in the epistles of St. Paul, it appears simply that St. Paul ruled the churches under his guidance with absolute authority. There is not a hint of any power of legislation being re posed in any one, either clergy or laity. In the pastoral epistles we look in vain for any direction to Timothy and Titus as to the organisation of synods. And later still in postapostolic times, in mediaeval times, even - down to the Hampton Court conference, though, emperors, kings, and lay dignitaries often sat in Church councils, it is nearer the truth to say that they did so like " the brethren " in the council of Jerusalem, rather for the sake of publicity and dignity than as co-ordinate members specially repre senting the laity. Certainly we may say that they were present rather in a civil than in an ecclesiastical capacity. In these days it is futile to talk of admitting laymen as representatives of our laity for the purposes of concur rence only, for the ratification and promulgation of the determinations of the clerical members of Councils. In these days it is of little use to profess like St. Cyprian to do nothing without the concurrence of the people if their co-operation is to be thus limited and confined. Under such conditions they will probably prefer to continue represented by the clergy, as they have been from .the days of the apostles. My lord, I dread the evil conse quence of drawing .a hard line through a council between the learned clergy and the unlearned laity ; and we need no further illustration of • the deficiency of our laity in this respect than the list given by the Bishop of Salisbury of laymen who by their writin o octs have contributed to the illustration anti defence of christian truth. One is almost constitution.-mongering on this subject. But my lord, I desire rather to see our mixed synods and their practice given up gradually, though not so slowly as our houses of Parliament and their practice have done. It is a fearful thing to have to make a sudden jump into a new constitution, as our brethren in Ireland have been obliged to do. It is perilous to lean heavily on a system of veto —perilous personally to exclude any part of a council from any part of its business, perilous to shut out lay members from doctrinal questions instead of trusting to their modesty and good sense to hold aloof from them, as the lay members of the House of Lords leave the legal business to the law lords. In conclusion, the rev. gentle man said : Let us begin at once to prepare for our mixed synods - . Let us have mixed conferences, organised by local authorities. lam astounded at the poverty of theological learning in a list so general as to include Isaac Walton, Addison, Southey, and Coleridge, which really contains but a single name worthy to he called a divine, of the last and present generations—that of Principal Macbride. And worse still than the want of theological learning is the want of personal insight into ( the Church's system. The laity have so lately aroused themselves to an active share in the work of the church that very few of them can have arrived at that ripeness of experience which alone can qualify a man for Useful deli beration on any subject. There are indeed many propo sals for the structure of mixed church counsels which profess to meet these difficulties. We have plenty of what are expi essly called conferences, in which both clergy and laity ASK FOR ' LEA AND PERRINS'" SAUCE.

Sec. • When presiding at a lecture delivered by Dr. Cumming on "The Infallible Pope," the Mayor of Liverpool stated that he had received an anonymous letter, finding fault with him for agreeing to act as chairman. The writer denounced Dr. Cumming, and said that Alderman Hub back would be more in his place in presiding over one of Dr. Lankester's lectures, seeing that Liverpool was one of the most unhealthy towns in the kingdom. His Wor ship said he simply presided as president of the Young Men's Christian Association. He was not informed what the subject of the lecture would be, but he would ask the writer of the letter, or anyone who held the same views why should they na have a lecture on the infallibility of the Pope? The same subject was discussed for months in Rome—and why should it not be discussed in Liverpool ? To give offence to any of the people of Liverpool by presiding at that lecture was the furthest from his desire. What was an Englishman's liberty? It was to discuss all sub jects. The man who wrote that letter could be no Eng lishman. He did not wish to raise a howl, as the writer called it, against the Roman Catholics, amongst whom he had many friends and greatly respected them. It was not the individuals, but the system he objected to. He could only add after this explanation that he hoped through the lecture which Dr. Cummine , was about to give to receive instruction upon a subject which did not interest Liver pool alone, but England, and he might say the world. Dr. Cumming, after referring to the courtesy with which he had been treated by eminent Roman Catholics, went on to say that if he used a single word which gave offence to members of that communion he would readily recall it, and he should feel that he was unworthy of addressing a highly cultivated audience if he was to use lan guage of vituperation or violence towards any section of his fellow - countrymen. Protestants might be most uncompromising, and yet not in the least degree uncharitable ; they might con demn error, and pray for, respect, and sympathise with its victims, whoever they might be. Before the declaration of the dogma of infallibility was made, he expressed his conviction that if prophesy was intelligible, the judgment and retribution of Heaven would be brought down upon those who had taken part in it. No sooner had the Pope declared himself infallible than Austria, long the dungeon of Europe, and the guardian of the Pope when none else could be found to take that responsible relation, shocked at the Pope's assumption of deity, had torn the concordat between the Pope and his kingdom into shreds; and having renounced the Papal juris diction in Austria, root and branch, had established by law freedom of worship, of the press, and education. Similar liberty was also now enjoyed in Spain. Such were the sequences, he would not presume to say the con sequences, of the dogma. Dr. Cumming then entered into arguments drawn both from Scripture and history against the infallibility of the Pope, and said that the Pope having assumed the attribute of deity, he believed that judgment had begun and would spread over the whole earth, and that we were entering upon an era in which everything would be tried as by fire, and that nothing would stand except that which was founded upon God's Word. TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION IN HATiI'ON GARDEN. ESTIMATED DAMAGE OVER £20,000. The most extensive, and at the same time alarming, fire that has taken place in the neighbourhood of Hatton Garden happened about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and for several hours raged with the greatest fury, destroying property roughly estimated in value at £20,000. The premises in which the disaster commenced belonged to Mr. G. Eaton, a looking-glass manufacturer, situate in Cross-street, immediately facing the Tuns Tavern, Hatton Garden, and extending backwards as far as Saffron Hill. The principal building in front was about 60 feet wide, and contained five floors, including the basement, and was adjoined on the western side by the extensive pre mises belonging to Mr. Broad, a jeweller and Mr. Algar, printer, which separated the New Jerusalem Church from the blazing pile. The fire was discovered by Police constable Kilby, 31 G, who, in passing down a gateway running about midway of the front workshops, noticed that one of the back workshops was in flames. He at once sounded the usual alarm, and in the course of a few minutes Mr. Superintendent Fidge and Inspectors Dunn and Bryant arrived with a powerful body of police. The engines attended as quickly as possible, but by that time the flames had extended from the back warehouse into the silver rooms, and from thence into the main workshops, and show rooms in front. At the same time the fire had a most threatening appearance ; the houses in Saffron - bill were cracking with the intense heat, and the inmates consisting of men, women, and children were rushing about the street, almost naked. In less than an hour the roof fell, and then the flooring of the next storey tell igniting the works below. Ddring the whole of that time, the salvage corps were engaged in covering over and removing the most costly gilded goods before the heated water had time to reach them. Notwith standing that every thing was done that could be, the fire could not be entirely extinguished until nearly 10 o'clock. The whole of Mr. Eaton's premises, with the exception of one of the show-rooms in the ground floor has been destroyed, and the adjoining premises damaged by water. CLANDESTINE MARRIAGES. A correspondence has been carried on in a public jour nal respecting clandestine marriages, apropos . of the elope ment of an M.P.'s sister, a girl of 16, who was decoyed from home and privately married to a tradesman in the town where the family were staying. Undoubtedly the present state of the law, or rather of the custom that has grown around it, favours secret and irregular unions ; and a clergyman has no choice but to marry a couple who come duly armed with a license. Of course, it may be urged that the husband must have committed perjury in this case in order to obtain the license • but what will the parents of the wife gain by convicting' him of this crime ? Could they even succeed in annulling the marriage they would but red u c e th e c hild to a most anomalous position, and oblige themselves to receive into their home one who is neither maiden, wife, nor widow. Clandestine marriages must be prevented, they cannot be cured. Obviously the law requires amendment, and Churchmen will do well to bear this in mind, if they do not wish to have a system of purely secular unions en forced upon the nation by the officials who sit enthroned at Somerset House. —Church Herald. During the floods in the Irwell, a market gardener named Carr recovered a body floating in the water at Barton upon-Irwell. TORPEDO EXPERIMENTS. Some interesting torpedo experiments took place at the School of Military Engineers, Chatham, in the presence of the Duke of Cambridge, Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Sir H. Storks, and a large number of officers and gentlemen. They were convoyed to the Volta, a vessel moored in the river, and used as a torpedo school. Immediately they were on board, two small charges of gun-cotton were exploded on shore—one by means of a detonating fuse, and the other by heat. The object of these being fired was to shew that gun-cotton in its original state is perfectly harmless, but that when detonated it is very destructive. The one exploded by a fuse went off with a very sharp report, although only a very small charge was used ; but that exploded by heat merely went off is a blaze, there was no report at all, and no danger. A torpedo of 101 b. of gun-cotton was then exploded, throwing up a large quantity of water. But the principal experiment was with a torpedo containing 4321 b. of gun-cotton (equal to 1,2961 b. of gunpowder); this was moored about 200 yards away from the vessel. and was surrounded by seven other torpedoes, the object being to see whether such a largo one exploding would cause the explosion of those surrounding it, the opinion of the officers being that it would not affect the others. The torpedo was exploded from the Volta by insane of electricity. The quantity of water thrown into the air was something immense ; the explosion regularly shaking the vessel, although moored such a distance away. The explosion bore out the opinion of the officers. The re mainder of the torpedoes remained intact, not one being injured. The company then embarked in some small boats, and were conveyed to Gillingham bridges where they disembarked and, proceeded to the Royal Engineer field works. Here an experiment was made with a charge of 801 b. of gun-cotton. The stockade was fornied of timbers fourteen inches thick, there being two rows about two feet apart. On the explosion taking place, a clean breach was made in the first row of timbers, and the timbers in the other row were shattered, but the breach was not so cleanly made. With very little trouble a passage could have been made through this for a field gun and men walking four abreast. This experiment, with the others made, was considered to have been very successful. The party then witnessed a siege-gun (a 64-pounder, weighing 61cwt.) drawn about the works, both up and down hill, by the Royal Sapper, steam traction engine, made by Messrs. Aveling and Porter, engineers of Rochester. This engine, although a small one, dragged the gun in almost all directions, turning almost in its own length. The party also saw some ope rations carried out by some men of the Royal Engineers with a new and very small spade, by means of which a man is enabled to throw up sufficient earth to form a covering for himself in three minutes, and it is thought that before long a similar spade will be carried by all in fantry soldiers. LAW AND POLIOE. ASSAULTING A SWEETHEART.—EIam Allan, a young man, was brought, before the Marlborough-street Police court, charged with assaulting a young woman named Rose Stevens, residing in Church-street, Soho. From the evidence of the complainant, who had a bruised forehead, it appeared that while she was standing at the corner of Windmill-street, the prisoner with whom she had " kept company" walked up to her and gave her a severe blow on the back of her neck, knocking her down, and he then kicked her without saying anything to her.—Com mitted for two months', with hard labour. AN UNGRATEFUL GlRL.—Jenny Taylor, described as a laundress, of 154, Walton-street, Chelsea, was charged, at :Westminster Police-court, with being drunk and in• capy?le of taking care of herself. The offence was of a minor character as compared with that with which the litiSoner was charged before at this Court on the 30th of June last. She was leading an immoral life at Clarendon street, Pimlico, and made a desperate attempt to commit suicide by throwing herself out of a window ; the case was fully proved, but in consideration of her youth and supposed penitence, together with an expressed wish to be sent to her home, at I'embridge, near Hereford, Mr. presiding magistrate, directed Inspector Arnold,o see her safe to her home ; she was accord inglyz Humphreys t h e sent to a respectable coffee-house for the night, and then sent down to her home. She did not go there. Mr. Arnold issued his warrant on the 28th of July for the original offence. It appears, however, that she after wards went home ; but last night she was found drunk and incapable by Walter Barrett, a police-con stable, at Victoria station, one of her old haunts. Mr. Humphreys said there was a married man with a family in the background. Mr. Woolrych said ho must be a great miscreant. It was a melancholy case, but the warrant must fall to the ground. He, however, could now only fine her ss. Thomas Tanner, 23, and George Payne, 35, were then charged with attempting to rob the last prisoner of her shawl at Victoria Station. They were remanded for a week.
