He declares that they are unanimously of opinion that the best arrangement for the rate-supported schools will be to have the Bible read and taught by the master, but to forbid the use of creeds and cate chisms, and all denominntional teaching. Such a school, it is considered, would meet the views of th e majority of Churchmen and Dissenters. The Elections. The fight in South Leicestershire is going on very actively, and according to all precedent, a very close fight it is likely to be. Mr. Paget, the Liberal*candi date, is not very partial to the Ballot. He prefers the light to the dark ; but if landlords will persist in applying the screw, why there is no help for it. Mr. Paget would prefer education being paid for out of a local rate. In the Isle of Wight it would seem that Mr. Baillie Cochrane does not like the prospect. The Liberals proved some 220 stronger at the last election, and it would appear that the present Conservative candidate is not so sure of re versing this decision as to be willing to incur the expense of a contest. The Ballot at Bristol. The moral of the Bristol election petition ought not to be overlooked.. The judge has decided, and there can be no question as to the fact, that the test ballot at Bristol was accompanied by bribery and treating sufficient, had it taken place in • connection 'with the election itself, to make it void. "Whether it is not now a. void election his lordship has left for the decision of the Court of Common Pleas. Thus it is clear. that the Ballot will not necessarily put a stop at once to corruption. Of course it does not by any means follow that what has taken place at Bristol in a non-official polling will occur at ballots generally; it may nappen, as the advocates of secret voting say it will, that bribers will want to be surer than they can be with the Ballot that tlieir money has not been thrown away. The fact, however, remains that the Ballot on a large scale has been tried only twice in England; and on the second occasion it was accom panied by some of -the very corrupt practices it was intended - to suppress. On the other hand it should be noted that the primary object of the Ballot is to prevent not bribery, but intimidation. The Orangemen and the Ballot. Game Laws Abolition. The times being dull, and few exciting questions in the way, the Orangemen of Ulster are filling up their spare time with a campaign against the Ballot. The hostility against this innovation is becoming quite furious. Yet it is not easy to tell why. The Ballot is not much in the way of Orange men. It seems, however that one of the brethren at a late meeting declared that Orangemen had little •left to fight for ; and hence, it may be presumed, the large amount of fight left in them may just as well be expended upon the Ballot. It is an insidious trap. Slinking behind backs with their - votes is what the Orangemen will never be guilty of. Their hostility . to Romanism, Ritual- . ism, and Rationalism is undying, and it is in future to shew itself politically as well as religiously. Lord Stradbrooke writes to the Post in great indignation to contradict a statement in the speech of Mr. P. A. Taylor, which was published in that journal. Mr. Taylor said that "Lord Strad brooke boasted his game was worth £9,000 a year." Lord Strad brook° can hardly think that any member of the House of Commons can be so weak in the upper story as to believe such nonsense, and trusts that the statement was a mis print. After dwelling on the details of the matter, he concludes by declaring that preserving as he does less than 7,000 acres, the " idea of his game being worth £9,000 a year amounts to monomania." The force of this argument is a little marred by the subjoined remark that a pure Radical will believe almost anything. LONDON, MONDAY, N°. 24,332.

A portion of the contemplated lines has already been opened, and a further section is expected to be opened in the course of two or three weeks, and the re maining lines by the end of August, and before October, 1870, and only for a small portion of the lines, the latest time is stipulated to be in the course of 1871.

The Fenian Raid. The news from Canada does not represent the Fenians as making progress. Quite the reverse ; the filibusters have not only failed in their ostensible de sign, but also in the more serious project which that ostensible design only masked. Not even an Irish leader could expect to con quer Canada with the miserable levies who have run away at the first sight of the colonial troops, and who are not to be kept with their faces to the foe even by the swords and revolvers of their officers. But the Fenian leaders did hope that the raid might bring about a misunderstanding between England and the United States. This more secret object has likewise been frustrated. President Grant l" as acted promptly, and has been well supported by his subordinates. if no thing unforeseen turns up, the raid will do more to improve the relations between England and America than any event of late years.' A‘ to the Fenians, the latest telegrams speak of nothihss but defeat and discouragement—" flight, futility, and flare." 3 10 0 £lO 16 0 for Bond of each £l5. In default of due payment of the respective instalments, all previous payments will be liable to forfeiture. After payment of the final instalment, the Scrip Certificates will be exchanged at once for fully paid-up Bonds with Coupons attached. The Bonds will be issued singly or in multiples of four, eight, or ten, of the value of £6O, £l2O, and £l5O respectively.

The troops of the line at present in Canada are the 78th Highlanders and the 84th Regiment at Nova Scotia, the 60th Foot at Toronto, the Rifle Brigade and the field artillery at Halifax. The Broad Arrow thinks this is a small supply of regular soldiers for a large country so threatened as Canada, and says it is questioned whether; his force is sufficient for such emergencies, even as the present one. It considers that at all events Mr. Cardwell has now an oppor- tunity - Of reflecting on the wisdom of the policy which would have denuded the Dominion even of these troops, and which may also remind him that there is a time for all things, a time to sin and a time to repent. The military journals all extol the conduct of President Grant in taking the step he has done to prevent the Fenian raiders from an infringement of the neutrality laws. One contemporary says that soldiers, at least, will not fail to admire the soldierly promptness with which he ordered the arrest of O'Neill, and argues that the General's whole proceedings in the affair prove to the full that the irritation he has been charged with exhibiting against England has passed away, if, indeed, it ever really existed. . The Policy which Does not Alter. _ Earl Granville has told the House of Lords that the policy of the Government towards the colonies was in no wise changed ; but that the departure of the troops which were ordered to leave Canada, has been retarded on account of the Fenian raid. Probably a " strong government " with a hundred majority never does change its policy ; it only kindly, con siderately, and indulgently makes slight variations now and then. Earl Granville refused on general principles to allow the 18th Regiment to remain in New Zealand, whilst the MaorieS yet retained a menacing aspect ; but he allows the troops recalled from Canada to remain whilst the Fenians are dangerous. Where is the difference ? The Fenians might do much mischief, it is true ; but so might the New Zealand savages. Indeed, the former have not inflicted nearly so much injury as the latter. Lord Granville refused to counteract the order for the departure of the 18th regiment on the grounds that each colony ought to provide for its own defence, and that it was impossible to entrust British soldiers to the control of colonial authorities, whilst, on the other hand, a divided command would be ruinous. Just the same principle applies to Canada. There can be no doubt that the retention of the troops in Canada was a change of policy; but it is one which the House of Commons cheere4 and which the public generally will ap plaud. The Government would have incurred a very serious responsibility, if the soldiers had sailed for England, and any serious injury had befallen the colony. These hard and fast lines of policy cannot be insisted on in time of trouble. The English Captives at Gibraltar. A. correspondent of the Standard gives some additional information respecting the captured Englishmen near Gibraltar. If this account be authentic, the brigands were even more daring than their Marathon prototypes, since they actually invaded their victim's dwelling house. Mr. Bonne' and his nephew, merchants of Gibraltar, and natives of that place, are in the habit, it seems, of spending a few weeks every year in a small cottage they have at Sabart, during the hot season. Sabart is four miles from Gibraltar, half way between San Roque and the eastern beach. On the evening of the 21st the cottage was entered by a strong party of brigands, who seized the two gentlemen, one of whom being a confirmed invalid was incapable of any resistance, and, mounting them on horseback, carried them off to the moun tains, sending in a demand for a ransom of 20,000 doll. to Gibraltar early the next morning. Of the two servants, who were said in a former account to have been captured along with their masters, no mention is made in this version of the story. It appears that one of the gentlemen seized is known to be wealthy, and it is believed that the object of the affair is exclusively mercenary, having nothing whatever to do with politics or nationalities. The Greek Murders. The French Government takes a very active interest in the late massacres in Greece. Indeed, it spares no pains to bring the little State to a sense of its condition. Another French despatch has been sent to Athens, severely blaming the Government of King George for dragging on the negotiations. The communication reiterates the menace expressed in a previous despatch of the same Government, that the Greeks as a nation will be made to nswer, s h ou ld any F r enchman sustain an injury in their country. It may perhaps be doubted how far one nation, however big, can claim to insult another, however little, in this fashion. The Greek Government has quite enough to do with the sins it has already committed without being bullied about sins which it has not, but only may, commit. The French Government is anxious for a conference to "fix the guarantees to be given by Greece of future good behaviour." Mr. Gladstone's Mystification. Mr. Gladstone's manner of receiving deputations, and of sending them away again, witfeelings of a ver y satisfactory nature as to result of their interviews, has at length been openly com mented upon by an intelligent Scotchman. Addressing the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland a day or two since, Dr. Norman Macleod corrected an interpretation which had been given to a statement made by the Pre mier to some representatives of the Church of Scotland with reference to the Church patronage question. Dr. M'Leod added that he was only inclined to state what the Premier did not say, he would not discuss what he did say, as he never found two men agreed as to what was the purport of Mr. Gladstone's words when replying to deputations. Meetings of Educational Committees. The Committee of the National Education League met at Birmingham on Friday, and subsequently they issued a circular to the various branches concerning the Government amendments to the Education Bill. The opinion expressed is an unfavourable one, the concessions being looked upon as unsatisfactory in themselves, and as failing to deal with the objections of the League in regard to the measure. It is not thought probable that the Nonconformists will consent to them. The further consideration of the question will be taken up at a special meeting of the League Executive on the third of June. A day or two ago a meeting of the sub-committee of the Manchester Education Bill Committee was held, at which certain resolutions were unanimously adopted. They set forth the approval of the committee with regard to the establishment of a strict time table conscience clause in those schools which receive public aid. The general committee were advised to support the amendments which ad vocate the views of Mr. Jacob Bright and Mr. Hibbert. The Government amendments are disap proved of for several reasons, among which is men tioned the unsectarian character of rate-provided schools. Mr. Baines and Education. Mr. Baines has -written to the Daily Telegraph on the subject of the Government Education Bill. He is anxious to avoid any misunderstanding with xespect to the opinions of the Liberal and Non- The Railway Tax. The Economist understands it is now quite settled that the proposed alteration in the railway duty—the change from a 5 per cent. charge on passenger traffic to a 1 per cent. charge on all the receipts—will not be persevered in. Clauses embodying the alteration have been inserted in the Budget Bill, but only as a matter of form. "As we insisted from the first, the public have a great interest in retaining the duty, because it is merely a mode of reserving for the State a share in the profits of a monopoly. To abandon it would simply be to throw away so much property of the State, and pro tanto burden the general taxpayer. We are convinced that this is not what Mr. Lowe intended, and at any rate ample time will now be left for considering whether a tax of this sort ought to be given away. The suggestion of the Budget has at least had the merit of shewing that it cannot be meddled with without its being given up altogether." The New Halfpenny Stamp. The Railway News states that the Post-office authorities have finally decided upon the form of the new halfpenny stamp to be used for the transmission of newspapers. It will be one- third smaller than the present postage stamp, with the figures id. on each side of the Queen head. The form will be oblong, the horizontal sides being longer than the perpendicular, thus presenting to the eye a clear and well-defined difference between the halfpenny and the penny stamp. The colour selected has been light pink, that having been found after many experiments to be the most fugitive and the most easily affected by any attempts at tamper ing with it. Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co., who engraved, and now print, the present postage stamp, have received the order to engrave the new stamp and print 1,200,000 sheets of it, to be ready for delivery early in September. Supercession of Colonels. The question of the supersession of colonels of the British army, by the colonels of the Indian forces, has been discussed by the military authorities at the India office with the fol lowing result : that every case of a colonel of Her Majesty's army serving in India, who might be brought into a position of official subordina tion to a general officer of the Indian army junior to him as a colonel, should be specially considered, and dealt with by granting some compensation for the temporary loss of regi mental command, should he be disposed to serve under the other's command. Considering the small number of military appointments in India held by Major-Generals of the Indian Army, the Military Secretary confidently expects that the authorities in India will be able to make such arrangements as will render these cases very rare indeed. An Ecclesiastical Difficulty at Wells. The Dean of Wells, the Rev. G. S. Johnson, was appointed in 1854. In 1856, the vicarage of St. Cuthbert, in that city, became vacant by the death of the Rev. Canon Barnard. The living is in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Wells. The Dean was appointed by that body to the vacant vicarage. There being some murmurs at the time of this appointment, and reports that it was illegal, on account of the living being worth more than £5OO per annum, printed circulars were issued to some of the principal citizens, in which certain deductions were claimed, and calculations were entered into to shew that the living was under £5OO a year. The Dean, as vicar, has not been at all popular amongst a section of the citizens, and about three months ago he and his senior curate (the latter is a general favourite) quarrelled, and carried the matter to such a length as to publish manifestoes against each other, as well as letters in the local papers. A. memorial was got up, and was numerously and respectably signed, praying the Bishop to make inquiry into the matter. At the same time the opinion of two eminent counsel was taken as to the validity of the Dean's appointment to the vicarage. Both learnedgentlemen gave it astheir decided opinion that the moment the Dean accepted the appointment of vicar the office of dean became legally vacant. Armed with these opinions, a memorial has been sent to the Premier, setting forth the facts of the case, and praying that the necessary steps may be taken in the matter. County Court Business and the Police. A county court officer has forwarded to the Chan cellor of the Exchequer and the Judicature Com * mission some suggestions for reorganising the exe cutive departme nts of the county courts, Among them PRICE 1 d. STAMPED 2d. is one to the effect that summonses should be served through the post, the postman to sign an endorse ment on the copy of the document which should.be countersigned by the postmaster of the district. Another is that judgment summonses should be served by the police. He supports his second suggestion by tha statement that the police know more of the habits of the people, their incom ings . and outgoings,. than a county court bailiff can know, while the 120,000 summonses issued in a, year would be a very slight addition to their labours. The scheme of the county ourt officer is certainly an ambitious one, and the question Of impressing postmen into the duty of doinc , the work of private individ u al s i s o ne that may be safely left to the Government ; but the in troduction of police authority into the execution of the law affecting matters of debt is a summary pro cedure. The Floating Dock Bermuda. The huge floating dock which left England last June for Bermuda has only recently been floated into the Camber, or basin of the Royal Naval Dock yard at Ireland Island, the place which she was destined to occupy. When the dock in tow of the Viper and Vixen reached Bermuda in July the hurricane season had set in, and as the passage into the Camber is as treacherous a one as that of the " Narrows," it was deemed advisable to sink the dock in Grassy Bay until the return of fine weather. On the 7th of last month the Commander-in-Chief of the North American and West Indian stations being at Bermuda, and a larger number of men-of-war than are usually there being in port, it was thought that the work of raising the dock and bringing it to its future anchorage could be successfully undertaken. Early on the morning of that day the air valves of the immense mass of iron were opened, and it rose in the water in a most satis factory and gratifying manner. Subsequently haw sers were attached to it from H.M. sloop Royalist, and other vessels, and the dock was slowly escorted from the Bay. She was brought past the break water outside the Camber, and through the intricate channel at its entrance in an admirable manner, though not without considerable danger, and in less than five hours after the raising of the dock she proudly. floated in the dockyard basin, and was hawsered in position. A Lecturer in Difficulties. M. Laboulaye, a Frenchman, whose name is well known in literary circles, has involved himself in a series of difficulties by attempting to reconcile politi cal and philosophical honours. M. Laboulaye has grown famous as a Liberal, and as such was duly honoured by the students of the College de France, .where- he has to deliver a course of lectures. The students, however, have now taken a great prejudice against him, because they consider he has deserted the Liberal cause. M. Laboulaye, it may be remembered, was spoken of as one of the new Ministers, and it is currently reported that it was an unlucky brochure of his, ridiculing the education given in courts which impeded his accession to office in place of M. Plichon or M. Mege. " Prince Caniche" as the pamphlet was called so displeased the Empress that her influence hindered the author's en trance into the 011ivier Cabinet. To com pensate for .this disappointment he has been nominated to the Senate, and when he presented himself at the College de France to resume his lec tures he was met by shouts of "Au Sdnat ! au S6nat !" There was also an unlucky story current among the students, that the former electors of M. Laboulaye had reclaimed a silver inkstand they had presented to the ci-devant Liberal, and the truth of the report was loudly demanded. M. Laboulaye, who was not without partisans in the assembly, behaved with firmness and composure. He announced his intention of remain ing at his post until the hour was up, whatever up roar they made. By his readiness, good humour,, and courage, he kept his assailants at bay for the specified time, and then- retreated to his carriage, attended by a demon strative crowd. A second attempt to resume the course was made on Friday, with similar ill luck. The students were divided into two parties, stones were thrown, the " Mai seillaise " sung, and other excesses indulged in. The Professor had to leave the room, being unable to obtain a hearing. The dignity of a senator has in his case been dearly paid for. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. To-day the Irish Land Bill is announced for third reading. The University Tests Bill will be taken in committee. The Married Women's Property Bill will be brought up for third reading. The debate on the Ballot Bill and the debate on public schools will be resumed, and the second reading of the Sligo and Cashel Disfranchisement Bill will be moved. Touching the last named, how ever, Colonel French will ask that any decision in the question may be postponed until a redistribution of seats is made in Ireland. On the same day he will ask the First Commissioner of Works if it is true that the state in which Leicester-square 'kept arises from a disputed ownership ; and Mr. Jones-Parry will interrogate Mr. Cardwell with respect to the delays in the issue of New Zealand medals to the 65th and 40th Regiments. Mr. Thomas Hughes intends to question the Secretary to the Board of Trade with a view to discovering what protection will be afforded, to unpatented inventions of workmen which may be ex hibited at the International Exhibition of 1871. Mr, Henley will call the attention of the House to the rule or practice of ordering strangers to withdraw from the House of Commons. The House will also go into committee of supply, when several questions will be asked with reference to the Navy Estimates. On Tuesday Mr. Lambert will draw attention to the policy of Mr, Lowe with regard to the reduction of the National Debt, and will move that it is desirable that some decisive step should be taken to reduce it. The Game Laws (Scotland) Bill is fixed for second reading on Thursday. On Friday the House will be occupied in going into Committee of Supply, and in sitting in committee on the Mines' Regulation and Inspection Bill. There is some propability of the town of Barnsley being shortly provided with public baths. Senor Romero, the Mexican Secretary of State, has issued a decree announcing the confiscation of Santa Anna's estates. Treason is sometimes punished in Mexico, bnt not as often as it might be. Dr. John Sullivan, of Boston declared in the Medical Convention convened at Washington that he would not refuse admission to a duly accredited " ourang outang with a tail ten teet long." It is quite possible that the intellect of such a quadrumaneous association might vie with that of the members who refused admission to coloured men. A traveller, who demanded his trunk at a Bal timore depot before all others 'and was told by the Irish baggage-master that he must have patience and wait his turn, turned upon the baggage-master with " You' re an impudent dog ; to which he of the trunks replied, "An' faith, ye are a monkey, and it's a great pity that when we two were made bastes, ye wasn't made an illiphant, so that ye could have yer blasted trunk under yer nose all the time." In the new bill for a re-arrangement of the stamp duties a clause is contained to the effect that any coupon or warrant for interest attached to and and issued with any security entitling the holder thereof to receive any sum of money amounting to £2 or upwards shall be charged with a duty of one penny as a receipt. This is attracting some attention in the Stock Exchange, since it would apply to the coupons on Consol certifitates, &c., and it is urged that, as a matter of principle, the impost would be a breach of the general engagement regarding the public funds. The telegraphic communication with India is at present being carried on with even more regularity and punctuality than by the Atlantic cables with America. In the office of the Indo-European telegraph an ordinary telegram was received at 2.20 p.m., the message dated the same day 5.15 p.m., thus beating the sun by some three hours, and the time occupied between Bombay and London being under two hours. A message was also received within a few minutes afterwards, dated Calcutta, 5.20 p.m. This arrived in London at 2.26 p.m., also beating time by three hours, and occupying about the same time in transmission. ' Some time ago, itwilibe remembered, the American steamer Aspinwall was captured by a Spanish man-of-war, off the coast of Cuba. A demand was promptly made for her release, which was acceded to by the authorities at Madrid. On Thursday, April 28th, the judge of the marine court at Havana visited Captain Al‘Carthy of the Lloyd Aspinwall, in company with the Americau consul and other officials, and proposed to deliver tho vessel formally into his bands. But the captain, who was detained as a prisoner, refused to accept the vessel unless be had a guaranty that all damage sustained since the capture should be paid. The American consul urged him to accept the steamer, but he positively refused to do so without the guaranty. The Spanish officials stated that they were not empowered to make any such guaranty, and the vessel was thereupon delivered to the consul, who took possession in the name of the United States. As the matter now stands, therefore, the owners must look to the United States Government for indemnity. Al O re, wife of 3~0 °°~J ( felt Av rie p 0 el° Q. d
