' ' -, -. recommend Convocation to withhold its consent. The labours of the Ritual Commission have exteuded.over saveral years, and it is a question whether any alteration should be made in the Prayer-book this year, as fresh changes will be shortly proposed. A general desi•e for a change exists, as the Ritual Commission have stated in their report, and the York committee observes with satisfaction that many of the suggestions now made coincide with those recommended by the Convocation of York in 1805. width of these erections is to be 15 feet,. and they are about six fe high. They are in the centre of the new street, known as Queen Victoria-street, and are, of course, a serious hind rance to locomotion, as well a great blemish to the appearance of the thoroughfare. Meanwhile, "A Rate payer," who befriends the design of the railway, writes an indignant letter to the Telegraph complaining of the unfairness of the company's manoeuvre. On the contrary, it appears to be a very fair test, since if the model be incorrect nothing can be easier than for those interested to rectify the error and remove prejudice, while if it be an accurate representation, the citizens of London had better be gradually inured to the martyrdom which awaits them. -~_ A .

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. East Suffolk. Are our country gentlemen and merchants growing tired of Parliament as a rich man's club whereof the expenses are greater than the attendant gains ? The eagerness with which most seats are fought for would seem to render the question superfluous ; but in East Suffolk we have a seat which the Conserva tives have carried for many yeare past by respectable majorities, and yet no Conservative candidate can be found to succeed the late member, who has been transferred to the Upper House. Sir Shafto Adair who has been beaten several times in this con stituency, is now the only candidate. It is true that he had a better chance from the first of winning on this occasion than on any previous one. But the Conservative strength in the county is so great that a well organised opposition would have had every chance of success. The writ, however, has arrived, the election is at hand, and the Conservatives are still waiting for their candidate, who comes not. State Emigration. Mr.W. M.Torrens, M.P., has explained the principles of his emigration scheme, a motion respecting which has stood on the notice paper in the House of Com mons for some time past. He proposes that each adult should pay £3 for himself, or herself, and 30s. for every child over 12. For this the emigrants should obtain passage-warrants to Quebec, Victoria, Natal, or any other colony whose circumstances ren dered it suitable for emigration from England. The money difference in each case, Mr. Torrens sug gests, might be made up in the following manner. One portion should be defrayed from the Imperial Exchequer, one from the revenue of the colony, and one out of a fund to be created by way of colonial loan guaranteed by the Home Govern ment. Mr. Torrens would in every case give the colonial agent resident in England a veto in the selec tion of passengers and he would moreover leave each colony to decide for itself from year to year what addition, if anv, to its population it could helpfully assimilate andabsorb. The Archbishop of Dublin. Archbishop Trench still maintains his position against the clergymen of his diocese, who complain of his "heterodoxy." He finds much sympathy. Seventy-eight clergymen have presented a counter - address expressing their confidence in him. The Archbishop, replying, said he had never recommended the manual entitled "Short Prayers :" he simply declined to condemn it or pronounce it inconsistent with Church teachin g . As the guardian of the liberties of the Church, he could not under take to narrow her limits ; nor would he exercise an unconstitutional episcopal authority, whether the teaching submitted seemed to himself to fall below or go beyond his interpretation of Church formu laries. The Lectionary. A committee of both Houses o: the Convocation of York has adopted a report on the' ectionary, of which the following is the substance. —They state that much attention has been paid to the new Lec tionary during the present year, and steps have been taken to give it the force of law. In this position of affairs, therefore, they think minute criticism would be un desirable, but they desire to give a general approval to the conclusions arrived at by the Ritual Com mission. If further time should be allowed, the committee of the York Convocation would suggest some alterations in matters of detail, which they do not consider of sufficient moment to Church Patronage. • Some remarkable opinions have been publicly ex pressed on the subject of Church patronage. It is considered by some that the system of having to purchase the presentation to a living or per petual curacy secures for the parishioners it man who has means of his own, and who therefore will be enabled to devote much of the rent-charge income to the sick and poor. There are other men, however, who think Unit the poor clergyman, who obtains preferment without fee or reward, feels that his parish has claims upon him, which he must with all his might repay, by ministering to tue poor and by consoling the afflicted. The friends of- the purchase system contend that parsons with small incomes cannot fulfil their duties, inasmuch as they have no money to keep even a vehicle to wheel them round their parishes. Those who argue in the opposite direction, however, instancing the vicar of Hogglestock, say that the most laborious and the most sincere of the clergy are those who, like the flock over whom they are chiefly watching, have a struggle for their daily bread. It is hard to say which party is right. It is a sacrifice to men elected in either way. By the poor but educated vicar a more ambitious and more recompensary calling will probably be sur rendered, while the rich one is content co retire from worldly pleasures, and to seek an office in which he takes upon himself serious and very trying responsi bilities. Local Taxation. The " extra-parliamentary utterance " of such a statistical authority as Professor Thorold Rogers on the incidence oflocal taxation, can hardly fail to . help forward that ventilation of the matter which the Go vernment as well as the taxpayer have equally in view. In a paper read before the Statistical Society on the subject, the Professor controverted the conclusion of Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Dudley Baxter, and others, that the greater part of, the rates fall on the owner. He contended that taxes levied on rents and paid by the landowner cannot be transferred to the occupier, but that taxes on occupiers, when not part of the cost of carrying out any industry, remain a burden on the occupier. As regards houses, he argued that the rates are no burden on the landlord, but are on industry, and that the owner is enabled by the increasing competition, and. through his power of inflicting loss by determining the occupation, to enforce the payment. of 'increased rates by the occupier. If a uniform rate of local taxation, he said, were in stituted over the country with the same amount in the pound on all occupiers, local taxation of houses would. be found to conform in in all par ticulars of incidence to imperial taxation. As re gards agricultural land, he desired the transference of the rates from the occupier to the owner. Medical Education. When distributing the prizes to the medical students at the University College on Wednesday, Professor Huxley was met with a storm of hisses when he spoke of " every fair maiden in these days being a fully qualified practitioner." The Professor, how,ever,caine prepared to make a speech on the blemishes in•the present system of medical education, and although his observations with reference to lady students were not listened to, serious attention was paid to the other views and arguments of the speaker. Dr. Huxley most complained of the quality of phy siology taught in the London schools. He found that while anatomy was properly taught as a science, physiology was taught as if it were a mere matter of books and hearsay. To remedy this evil he would suggest the centralization of the teaching of the theo, retical branches of the profession (which he would cut down to a considerable extent) in not more than three central institutions. He would, moreover, have the elements of physical science taught in the primary schools—physics, chemistry, botany, and the like. Comparative anatomy ought to be absolutely abolished. He would also abolish Materia Medics. He could not Tinder stand why gentlemen who had to practice medicine should be obliged to learn all about drugs, and where they came from ; they might just as well be required to learn all about cutlery because they used knives. If his views were adopted there would be left for the four years' study the following nine subjects:— Physics applied to Physiology, Chemistry applied to Physiology, Physiology, Anatomy, Surgery, Medi cine, Obstetrics, Hygiene t and Medical Jurispru dence, which would be quite enough for one man's pursuit. The Soldier as a Married Man. It is a good sign for the military service that the legislation in its behalf is no longer seemingly based upon the assumption that the soldier should be treated as a mere machine. By degrees his proper social status is becoming recognised, and much has been done to render his married life as smooth as the difficulties of the circumstances permit. But there was a great injustice still unprovided for, in the case of the unhappy women whose husbands either married them without leave or enlisted after marriage, falsely calling themselv,s single men. The hearts of many poor creatures will be gladdened to know that this injustice has at length met the attention of the Legislature. Amongst the alterations in this year's Mutiny Act is one which provides that the Secretary of War may withhold a portion not exceeding 3d. for each day of the daily pay of each soldier, if it shall appear to his satisfaction that such soldier has de serted his wife, or left her in destitute circumstances without reasonable cause. The Secretary of State is further empowered to allot the pay thus withheld. to the maintenance of the wife in such manner as he may think fit. The Cat. If the only short cut to a garrotter's conscience is through his skin, and the only instrument by which the desired intelligence can be submitted is the "cat, " the means to effect the communication is in no measure stinted within the walls of Newgate. Numerous, however, as have been the instances when the " persua sions" of Calcraft have been brought into operation, the remedy does not appear infallible. Five speci mens of this class of vagabonds have just been flogged in Newgate. One of them eighteen months ago had been sentenced to that term of imprisonment for robbery with violence, and had undergone twenty lashes in addition. Barely out of prison, he is convicted of robbery with great violence on a drunken man, and sentenced to seven years' penal servitude with twenty-five lashes. Each of these craven bullies lost his " bounce " in the presence of Calcraft, and made the prison passages echo with his cries. For the benefit of all whom it may concern it should be mentioned that Calcraft is found not to be the old, Shambling, sleek creature depicted, but a sturdy, rough-looking representative of a journeyman me chanic with strong muscular arms which, as he ex presses it, would knock an 3 man down. The fact that he likes the business may be another circum stance worthy the attention of outsiders. A Practical Illustration. " Seeing is believing," says the old adage, and the Corporation of London is determined to test it in practice. By way of convincing the citizens that the scheme of the Metropolitan District Railway Company would, if carried out, be a serious disadvantage to the new street to the Mansion House, they caused temporary wooden structures to be put up in the place designed for the appendages of the Mansion House Station. The - models were put up in the night, so they met the startled gaze of the wondering citizens most unexpectedly. The difficulty arises, not from the station itself, which is of course underground, but from the ar rangements for lighting and ventilation. Four erec tions, two of them being 60 feet lonli and two others 70 feet, gie in contemplation, The An Extra Week at Eton. " The Parent of an Eton Boy" writes to the Times in a wrathful state of mind. His boy has written to tell him, in high glee, that Etonians are to enjoy au extra week's holiday this summer " because the Prince of Wales has asked for it." If he looked for sympathy: from his parent, the "Eton boy" must have been grievously disappointed, for it is hard to say whether the request, the manner of it, or its. consequence displease him most. In the first place he asks what .right the Prince has to interfere at Eton, or what signal benefits he has conferred on the country in general or the school in particular that his request should be granted. . Secondly, he points oat that Etonians now enjoy, between Christ mas, Midsummer, and Easter, thirteen weeks,: or one-fourth of the year, as holiday. What other profession gets, or asks, a whole quarter's holiday ? Last, though not least, the irate parent wishes to know why the charged for board and lodging is not struck off for the extra week, and how it is the tutors and dames think it justifiable to make a profit of some £1,400 out of this unnecessary indulgences Water-colour Soc i e ties. There is a rumour current in London to the effect that efforts have been made on the part of the Society of Painters in Water Colours to induce the members of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours—the younger body— to join the old society. Much comment has arisen upon this alleged attempt of one society to get rid of a rivalry, which, tLough inconvenient to the former, undoubtedly conduces to the excel lence of the pictures of both institutions, and is alike beneficial to the profession and the public. The expedient of absorbing the members of the " Institute " in their own ranks is considered to be anything rather than creditable to the gentlemen connected with the Society of Painters, who thought of promoting the movement. It gives satisfaction, however, to know that as yet only one associate of the younger body of artists has expressed his willingness to become a deserter. Out to Grass. As in most other cases, there are two opinions upon the treatment of horseflesh. Mr. Corteledge's remarks on the inutility of turning the noble animal out to grass has brought forth a rejoinder from Mr. F. Bullock Webster, of Bin field Court, Berkshire. That gentleman says he has kept horses all his life, and not being a rich man has always found it convenient to summer his hunters -at grass, and to rest and freshen up his hacks in the same manner, giving for the last six weeks, while in the field, a feed of split beans daily. By this mean►s he has invariably found that within a few weeks after getting their coats off, the animals are quite fit to work, and wonderfully freshened and improved by the summer's run. The actual result is, he says, that' the flesh very soon becomes hard and well-conditioned, with no perceptible'inj dry fro - in the flies, hot sun, or other imaginary dangers sug gested. He is fully persuaded that horses are much more liable to be injured in their wind when confined in a shed or box without exercise, and "liberally fed on oats Indian corn, bran, hay, and chaff." than when roaming at pleasure, treading in the late and early dews, and feeding on the succulent grasses provided by nature —plenty of shade and water of course being a:sine qua non under the system he advocates. Political Ingratitude. There is no Act of Parliament, it is said in Eng land, ,to compel a man to be generous ; and, judging by the way in which the American Senate have treated the widow of Abraham Lincoln, there is no Act of Parliament in that country to compel a Government to be grate ful. In the one place as in the other, however, a paltry excuse bears the weight -of its own degradation. Although this body, who look so keenly after the public loaves and fishes, have re fused to sanction the bill of the House of Represen tatives by which it was sought to grant a pension of three thousand dollars to the widow of their late President, some polite inquisitors, it is said into her private affairs, have discovered that she is in no danger of starvation, since she possesses some thing like 60,000 dollars worth of realised property. But the argument on which the refusal is based is alike pitiless and illogical. The report of the pensions committee, in effect, points out that there is no precedent for the grant. The queStion may fairly be asked, how many such foul and cold-blooded murders as that of Abraham Lincoln do the American Senate require before a precedent is established ? The nation that has been independent tor a hun dred years may be proud of its magnitude and its progress, but one essential element of true great ness is absent when the legal structure is so hard that a feeling of gratitude towards a chief of the State, who died while restoring peace to his country, can find no corner in it. THE GREEK MA.SSACRE. The refusal of an amnesty to the brigands by the Greek Government is discussed by the correspondent of the Times at Athens. The subject, the writer says, was anxiously and thoroughly examined at Athens, and the opinion adopted was different from that generally entertainen in England. ' The unfortunate issue of the negotiations with the murderers ought not (Mr. Finlay adds) to decide the question, though .it cannot fail to influence opinion. . The melancholy end was caused by discordance in the military and administrative measures, and not because an amnesty was not given. It appears from the statement of the late Minister of War, which is almost the only authentic source of information yet published at Athens, that a Coun cil of Ministers • was held after this assurance had been given to the Ambassadors of England and Italy, in which it was proposed to attempt delivering the captives by sending a strong body of troops in secrecy during the night, which at dawn would have besieged the houses at Oropos . occupied by the brigands. This plan was not adopted, but the day after its proposal another scheme was suggested under other influence. The Cabinet of M. Zaimis wavered in its resolutions, and its indecision pro bably led to its sending contradictory orders, which, in critical circumstances, is running on the highway of misfor tune. The dying words of Mr. Lloyd on the last bloodstained page of his journal, and the distinct evidence given by Mr. Frank Noel, prove that the amnesty was not an insurmountable obstacle to the release of the captives, and that a little patience and some prudence in the conduct of the agents of the Greek Government would have secured the acceptance of the ransom of £25,000 without an amnesty and with a safe conduct out of Greece.

With regard to the Mordaunt Divorce Cas the learned judges who tried the appeal (the Lord Chief Baron, Lord Penzance, and Mr. Justice Keating) have not as, yet fixed any time for delivering their judgments, but it is understood that an early day in the ensuing Trinity term, which commences on Thursday, the gfith instant, will be appointed. The decision will, therefeta probably be given at the end of next week, or at the outside in the week following. It is stated that should the second be adverse to Sir Charles Mordaunt he will carry his appeal to the House of Lords. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. Many incorrect reports are in circulation with reference to the metropolitan police force, especially with regard to resignations and drilling. We have ascertained that the total numbers of Voluntary resignations during the past four years were as follows :-1866, 455 ; 1867, 298 ; 1868, 263 ; and 1869, 261. These resignations were chiefly caused by the men having obtained prefer ble employment to which the prestige of the police ores opens many. opportunities. The authorised amount of drilling is 26 hours in the year—that is, one hour a week during the summer months. The men are drilled oikpay day, when they are off duty ; but as they are only drilled in line weather, and never when required for other duties, the average drill is only about sixteen hours per annum, an amount that scarcely accounts for the preva lent idea in the minds of the public that the police are over-drilled, or being made into soldiers.-4'che. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IN OPERATION. A very interesting letter appears in the Daily News from a writer who has travelled through France in the midst of the Pl6biscite agitation, and who personally wit nessed the style in which the great universal suffrage machine—the " basis " of the Empire—was set to work. He commences by describing the crass ignorance of poli tical affairs, the absolute lack of political ideas, which prevails throughout the rural population. The mental darkness is Egyptian. Not only is no newspaper printed; but none even circu late, far from the neighbourhood of the great towns. The natural remedy for this state of things would of course be the active dissemination Of cheap books and periodicals bearing in some degdegree on what is actually passing in the world in which' these people live. Such books and periodicals are actually prepared by some of the leading French Liberals, such as Jules Favre, Jules Simon, and others. But the Government takes care that they never reach the country districts. Every printer, every bookseller, every hawker, requires a special brevet or licence, in order to carry on his trade. Now, it has been calculated that for the exercise of a " brevet de libraire " with, any chance of prosperity, a town of at least six or eight thousand inhabitants would be neces sary. In this case the natural course would be for books and periodicals to be sold by village traders who carry on other business. In France, as in England, the village shopkeeper is at once grocer, mercer, dealer in hardware, and so forth. But though, generally, he may deal in what he pleases, he dares not venture to self printed matter. For this he must have a brevet, which would not be worth his while ; or, if it was, would cer tainly be refused. Any large bookseller, on the other hand, who might try to establish a system of travellers, would be checked as interfering with the rights of the "colporteurs " or book hawkers. The licensed book hawker Is, in fact, the only lawful book seller •in the country ; but he is permitted to sell no publication which has not been regularly stamped with the approval of the Administration. What kind of books, therefore, are carried through the country districts can be imagined. The French peasant knows little of anything : of politics least of all. Ignorance is everywhere. When the Administration wants the rural mind to know anything, it goes to work with placards and posters and • all the village walls are at its disposal. The writer continues his story thus :—"Your journals have dwelt upon the fact of the very opportune publica tion of M. Grandperret's terrific narrative of the ' Plot ; ' but the mode in which this celebrated document has been conveyed to the rural mind here has not, I believe, yet been explained. The report was published in Paris on Thursday evening (sth instant), and was .reproduced in every newspaper in France by Saturday—the day before the vote. But, simultaneously with its publication in Paris, M. Grandperret's narrative, in the form of a huge special supplement of the Moniteur, . printed on one_sicle,only—in fact, as. otter was pasted on the walls of every village and_ p- little town in the Empire. I first saw this inflammatory imperial advertisement at Etaples, in the Pas de Calais. 1 saw it last in Ferney (famous to all who have ever heard of Voltaire) within ten minutes' drive of the Swiss fron tier. As to the' vote in the rural communes, the whole ceremony has been entirely destitute of those guarantees agginst coercion, or the pious frauds of Government partisans, which I concede to be practically in opera tion in all great cities. In the country the mayor, adjoint, or his nominee, who is the legal president, has almost invariably been assisted by assessors, equally devoted to the Imperialist cause, and in fact chosen beforehand by himself. So slow is the voting in such places, that these enthusiastic Imperialists are left absolutely alone with the ballot-box fifty times during a day. Nor is the rural voter protected by anything like secrecy. The Government voting paper must be handed to the president, and, as already pointed out, is easily distinguishable even when folded. I will undertake to say that there is not a rural commune in France in which the local authorities do not perfectly well know who had the temerity to vote ' Non' on Sunday week. The only true remedy for this would be for 'the Government to print both Ouis ' and Nons ' on precisely the same paper of an opaque kind. But so far from this being the case, the very attempt to distribute opposition buletins in the rural districts has been met with the most resolute repression. I myself saw voters driven from the voting place of a rural district at the . time of the scrutiny, in direct violation of the law, which requires that act to be done in public. The ludgment of the great cities is ominous for the future of mperialism ,• but after all the numerous tokens of dis affection in the army are the gravest facts of the Plebis citary vote. If the rural voter has not been free, it is easy to judge what must have been the degree of freedom of the soldier compelled to vote within his barrack, with closed doors, and without any of those checks in the way of assessors which the Constitution has prescribed. But there is no disguising the fact. The army now comprises a great and a growing element of dissatisfaction with Im perial rule. The Government have never yet dared to publish details of the military vote. They prefer to give the result in a lump, and upon data open to the gravest suspicion. At first a few indiscreet persons did indeed give the results in certain risons, but this proceeding was almost immeditly stopped by orders from high authority. We know, how ever, already that more than one garrison, in spite of the extraordinary precautions to which I have alluded, ventured to return a majority of Noes ! The garrison at Le Havre was one of these. Again, at Douai the foot Chasseurs, who only number 700, gave 334 votes against the Empire. The 20th battalion at Boulogne, 618 strong, dropped into the ballot-box 238 " nons," while we all know that 1,133 of the 2,555 soldiers in the famous barrack of the Prince Eugene—the central point of the recent disturbances — replied to the invitation to return an answer to the pl.& biscite with the same terribly ominous monosyllable. Facts of this kind were beginning to be published on the evening of Sunday and the morning. following ; but the telegraphs went to work, and from that time the " Scrutins pa rtiels " of the army have entirely disappeared both from the provincial and the Parisian journals. Perhaps in such cases as I have cited the superior officers, who reign supreme over the military ballot-boxes, failed to testify the zeal generally expected of them ; fiir it is notorious that the discontent in the army extends sometimes to high grades. This is the fact to which that remarkable address to the soldiers, already quoted in your columns, alludes in these words—" If your officers do not any more than you allow their sentiments to appear, they have as little cause as you have to rejoice over Imperialism. Is advancement never other than the reward of merit and services ? " The facts reported from Lyons on this subject are significant. To this hour the authorities have never ventured to give us the result of the military scrutiny in that great city, so famous for its insurrectionary spirit. And vet if the old " Croix Rousse " should once more send 'down its famished weavers to fight in the narrow, tortuous streets that lead to that classic height of Demo cratic Socialism, these soldiers must be the men to restore peace and the Imperial rule. Prince Napoleon is about to quit Paris to visit the Suez Canal. The Northern Daily Express understands that Mr. Candlish, M.P. for Sunderland, with his son-in-law, Mr. Allen, M.P. for Newcastle-under-Lyne, have been ap pointed members of a deputation from the Evangelical Alliance of this country to visit America, and that they will proceed thither in the autumn. DAMAGE TO TELEGRAPH INSULATORS.—SeveraI persons have lately been punished for wilfully breaking the insulators on telegraph posts. At Leicester three men were sentenced to hard labour ; at Nottingham two boys had the option of fine or imprisonment ' • at High Wycombe one boy was fined ; and at Castle Eden, in Durham, two colliers were fined forty shillings each and costs. THE 13m LDING AND HOSIERY 'TRADES IN NOTTINGHAM. —There is at present a strike going on among the bricklayers of Nottingham. For some time past there has been a great inquiry for houses in and near the town. Consequently building has progressed vigorously, and the demand for bricklayers has consider ably increased. Owing to this and to the time lost during the winter, the workmen have applied to their employers for an advance of one farthing per hour. Some of the masters conceded the demand, but many of them refused to pay the advance, and the conse quence is that a large number of workmen are now on strike. There is also a dispute between the framework knitters and their employers. There was a dispute about a reduction which the masters proposed making. An arbitrator was called ; but it would appear that the work men are not disposed to be satisfied with his decision, Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., S T -ERN NECE,SSITY.
