It is, in deed, much to be regretted that the Government should have been compelled to take this step, but the entire blame rests on the Opposition. Mr.- AYRTON bad no more cause to be ashamed of the success of his tactics than to be rejoiced at them, and his praises of the forms of the House, which enable a minority to defeat a majority, suggests the idea that it would be well to alter them. Here is a measure which was much called for being put off at least a year in consequence of the factious mano3uvres of a particular faction, for over and over again the sense of the House was declared in its favour. No wonder that Mr. AYRTON'S remarks were received with dissentient comments, and that surprise was expressed at his declaration, that the majority of the public agreed with his views on the matter. The annoyance which was occasioned by the withdrawal of the bill was shown by the nume rous remarks that were made, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer very truly said that it was unusual for a sustained debate to be beard on the subject of a bill being withdrawn. The right bon. gentleman said, with perfect justice, that the Government had done all they could to forward the passing of the bill. They merely gave it up in consequence of the very strong opposition which was made to it, and some other obstacles which pre sented themselves. The City authorities, declining to become the market authorities, had also rendered the financial part of the scheme more difficult than it had been previously. At the same time we have no doubt that the bill would have passed had it not been for the tactics resorted to by those who set themselves deliberately against it from the first. The triumph, such as it is, of throwing out a mea sure which the interests of the public demanded is entirely due to the late period of the Session, and the reasons which imperatively call for an early prorogation of Parliament. It has done no credit to the Liberal members who have worked so sedu lously in the cause of obstruction, and, indeed, it has only shown to what strategems people will re sort when they have once given way to prejudice. Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and Mr. AYRTON, and some others, have put themselves in a very unfavourable light before the country by the manner in which they have conducted their course respecting this bill, and it will be remembered against them that they would not allow reason or argument to prevail, but opposed to the common sense sugges tions that were made the repeated demand for re- A most daring, but fortunately unsuccessful, at tempt at highway robbery was made in Southwark last night. Between eleven and twelve o'clock Mr. William Ransley, a respectable tradesman living in the Westminster Bridge-road, after returning home from a trip in the country, was making his way through the Borough-market, when he was set upon by six ruffians and thrown down. One of the fellows then attempted to take his watch, but while he was so engaged Mr. Ransley recovered his feet, and struggled with his assailants, at the same time keeping a firm hold of his watch, which fortunately was secured in his pocket by a patent watch protector. One of the men then seized Mr. Ransley by the throat, while another attempted to loosen his hold upon the watch and chain, and in doing so severely injured his hand. He was then thrown down again, and kicked most brutally in various parts of his body until he was rendered well-nigh insensible. At this juncture steps were heard in the direction in which this was going on ; and the fellows, finding themselves baulked in get ting the watch and chain, gave several parting kicks, and made off. Mr. Ransley, however, was quite unable to follow them, being much injured from the treatment he had received. By the help of some persons who afterwards came up he was enabled to get into the Borough-road, where, for the first time after his attack, he met with a policeman, to whom he gave information of the circumstance. Though Mr. Ransley had a large sum of money in his possession at the time, and a valuable gold watch and chain, which the thieves were intent upon having, he fortunately succeeded in resisting them so far as to keep his property intact.

A bi-weekly paper, thoroughly antagonistic to church music, observes :—" The setting of the mere externals above the essentials of worship which is the essence of Ritualism appears to be rendering choristers even more assumptive and insubordinate than usual, and we notice that several members of a country choir have resigned because the rector refused to allow them to cross themselves during the service." This may be understood as referring to a correspondence which has taken place between the Vicar of Sherburne and one of his choristers in reference to the practice of the choristers crossing themselves during service. The rector believes the practice " to be at variance with the principles of our Church," an opinion not shared in by some of the choir, who have accordingly resigned their office. —Musical Standard. porting progress. It is certain that something of the kind will have to be done next session which has been proposed in this bill, and yet we have seen all this clamour raised, and all this intoleration shown in the matter. Seldom has a bill been withdrawn in consequence of mere factious opposition having been shown to it, and there is little cause to be proud of a victory that has been brought about by the recent extraordinary tactics and unusual strata g being. employed to circumvent it.

At Eton Uoliege on Saturday the advent of "election" dine was marked by the usual celebrations, but though ;he regalar programme was strictly adhered to, there was paucity of visitors throughout the day. Dr. Okes, he Provost of King's, with his two posers, Messrs. 3odgson and Mosley, reached the college shortly before wo o'clock, having driven from Slough in the time-honoured :oach-and-four. He was received by the college officials, laid then the ancient ." cloister speech " was delivered beneath thiquadrangle clock tower by Mr. Prothero, K.S., ho captain of the school. There was an afternoon lapel at three o'clock. The principal attraction, however, vas a cricket match in the " playing fields," the game eeing between the Eton eleven and the officers of the Household Brigade, and ending in favour of the latter. By permision of Colonel Dudley Carleton the drums and fifes of ;he Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards were in attendance on ~ he ground, and helped greatly to enliven the proceedings. At 4 o'clock the Provost of Eton entertained a selectparty of visitors in the Old College Hall, covers being laid for 40 guests. The valuable college plate, including the silver gilt model of the chapel, decorated the sideboard. The Ashburton Shield and the Spencer Cap, won by Eton at Wimbledon, were displayed in Mr. Williams's window, and attracted great attention. About six o'clock the departure of the boats' crews for the waterside drew the sightseeing portion of the public with them, and the banks of the Thames were quickly lined with spectators. On the river the band of the Life Guards occupied a boat, and played at intervals before the start. The crews of the boats who were to row in procession wore fancy costumes, as upon the " Fourth of June," and the craft left the front at the Brocas for Surley Hall about seven o'clock, amid merry peals from the Julius Cmsar Tower of Windsor Castle.

The confirmation of some disgraceful excesses, said to have been committed in Clete, comes from Con stantinople.

At another village all the Chris tians who had not time to escape were killed. Many of the criminals have been arrested, and the foreign Minis ters are assured of speedy justice. Lard Cranworth is dead. Within a very few weeks we nave thus to chronicle the death of two ex-Chancellors. Lord Brougham and Vaux was the first to leave us, and now, at the age of 78, Cranworth has passed away. He was the son of the Rev. Edmund Rolfe, a country parson, was educated at Bury St. Edmunds and Win chester, and subsequently became a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge. He took the B.A. degree in 1812, but made no great mark at the university. He was called to the bar in 1816, was made King's Counsel in 1832, and entering Parliament as a Liberal in the same year, was very soon (1834) appointed Solicitor- General. Ministers resigned soon after his appointment, however, and it was not until 1835 that he again tasted the sweets of office. He was then reappointed Solicitor- General, and held that office until his advancement to the dignity of Baron of the Exchequer, in 1839. It was Baron Rolfe, our readers will remember, who sentenced Rush to death, and spoke of him as the " unmitigated abhorrence of every well-regulated mind." Being an equity barrister, however, Sir Robert Rolfe's place was evidently not on the common law bench. He was therefore removed to the Court of Chancery in 1850, and appointed Vice-Chancellor, with the title of Lord Cranworth. Within a few months he filled successively the offices of Vice-Chancellor, Lord Justice of Appeal (on the creation of that court), and Lord Chancellor. He can hardly be called a law reformer, for the Common Law Procedure Act is the only Act of importance that bears his name. He retired from the Chancellorship in 1858, but on the fall of Lord Westbury in 1865 again accepted office, holding it until 1866, when he went out with the Russell Ministry. H e attended the House of Lords during the last and the present sessions, and has throughout been noted for his sound and vigorous judgments. Mr. Bond writes to the Times explaining his reasons for his opinion that the epitaph brought to light byMr. Henry Morley is not in Milton's handwriting.

Sir R. N. C. Hamilton, Bart. (in the absence of Lord Leigh, the lord lieutenant) presided, and a large number of the ladies and gentlemen of the town and county attended. The Earl of CLAIM:MON, in the course of his speecu, expressed a hope that the day would always live in the memories of the boys who had received prizes, and would stimulate them to renewed efforts, remembering that without continuous labour nothing great and nothing good is ever achieved. The Almighty had given to man his intellect, as He had the land, but with the condition that we must first labour with the sweat of our brow, and plough and till before we are permitted to gather in the harvest. We must also remember that the richest soils were capable of producing the rankest weeds, while, on the other hand, a soil, however poor, might, by labour and skill, and by those appliances which went to meet its deficiencies, be rendered abundantly productive. So the boy born with brilliant natural talents who neglected to cultivate them and to turn them to the best account, might become utterly worthless, and, as we had too often seen, the sharpness of his intellect might promote the refinement of his vice ; while a boy of more humble abilities, who with perseverance applied himself to those things for which he was apt—and we all bad some special aptitude if we would seek it out—might rise to the foremost ranks in the great race of life. There never was a time in which education was more a matter of national importance than at present, or when knowledge should be more sought for, trusted in, and cherished by the lower classes in order that they might in their separate walks of life advance more rapidly than they had hitherto done, and be prepared to meet the world-wide competition which they must now face, and also in order that they might wisely use for their own and their country's good the political power of which they had now become the possessors. For the upper classes knowledge was more than ever needed, in order that they might retain the influence of mind over mind, which was the only influence that could henceforth be safely trusted and willingly respected. Let no one say that the young men before him should be discouraged. Let them remember what had been so well said by the great and original thinker, Mr. Mill—that he who uses his opportunities well often finds that he can create them, and that it is not so much the amount of time we can dispose of as the use we make of it. They might not, in after life, meet with all the encouragement to which they might think themselves entitled, and they might not succeed in all the objects at which they aimed ; but if they steadily proceeded in an onward course, and in that which they believed to be the right, if they had struggled manfully to succeed, they would not have hid their talent in a napkin, and, above all, they would have the unspeak able comfort of an approving conscience. LORD NAPIER AT WOOLWICH. On Saturday evening the corps of Royal Artillery enter tabled Lord Napier of Magdala at a bangtiet at Woolwich. The visit of his lordship created considerable interest, and a large number of people assembled on the barrack-field when his lordship arrived, and gave him an enthusiastic reception. Major-General Warde, C. 8., commandant of the Woolwich Garrison, presided, Lord Napier occupying a seat oh his right, and Field-Marshal Sir John Fox Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., the chair on his left. The invited guests included the Right lion. Sir J. Pakington, Bart., Sir S. Northcote, Bart., Lord Strathnairn, G.C.8., Lord Longford, Field-Marshal Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross. G.C.8., Lieutenant-General Sir James Hope Grant, G.C.8., &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, General WARDE, in eulogistic terms, proposed the toast of the evening, the health of their distinguished guest, Lord Napier of Magdala. The toast was drunk amidst the most enthusiastic plaudits, with three cheers, and " one more gunners' cheer," the cheering being kept up until drowned by the band. Lord NAPIER of MAGDALA expressed his acknowledg ments of the great honour conferred upon him. The com mendation of such distinguished officers as those present was amongst the highest honour which could fall to the lot of any soldier. He knew he should receive a hearty welcome at Woolwich, and was anxious to express to them in person the great assistance he had received from the Royal Artillery in the recent campaign, amongst whom he might mention Colonel Milward, to whom he was indebted for the valuable assistance rendered in conveying successfully the 12-pounder batteries a distance of 800 miles, over a rocky and mountainous coun try, sometimes (where the ground admitted of it) dragging them, and at other times (where the country was steep and rugged) placing them on the backs of mules and elephants. In the war in China he had an opportunity of noticing the skill and courage of Colonel Milward in pOsi- Cons of difficulty, and his services be considered it highly desirable to obtain, so that he at once requested the Com mander-in-Chief to allow him to accompany the expedition to Abyssinia, and his Royal Highness, without regard to precedence, at once conceded it. In short, a great deal of the success of the Abyssinian campaign was due to the judgment of Colonel Milward. He desired to acknow ledge the services rendered by Lieutenants Nolan and Chapman (two other Woolwich officers), and to Colonel Penn and Captain Twiss. He also expressed his great obligations for the assistance given by Brigadier-General Petrie, Major Geary, and other artillery officers engaged in the campaign. lie found the sailors, too, as he had always found them when he had had the honour of being associated with them, useful, pleasant, and zealous adjuncts to the military operations. They left their ships and accompanied them, as they thought first, for a pleasant trip ; but it turned out to be beset with many difficulties. They, however, made very light of them, and were cheer ful, contented, and merry throughout the whole campaign. But for the services rendered by the navy at Zoula the Abyssinian army could not have existed. They supplied 200 tons of water daily to the eager and thirsty troops,!and embarked and disembarked thousands of men and animals without a single accident or mishap. In considering the result of the campaign, it was satisfactory to find that they left the countrywith a better prospect of peace and of its ad vancing in civilisation than when they entered it. They did all they could by example and persuasion to incite the chiefs to cultivate the arts of civilised nations, to live at peace with each other, and to promote the welfare of the people. They found them a very interesting race, pro fessing to be Christians, with a creed very much resembling our own. There was a simplicity in their religion which was very touching. They had a degree of organisation in their churches which it was pleasing to witness. They possessed a well-established priesthood, and had a strong sense of real religion, and they appeared to him about as good Christians as they were in England. They sometimes did wrong ; but every one did the same, and if they took a debtor and creditor account of them, the Abyssinians would be found pretty much the same as people at home. It was under those circumstances that the question arose as to whether they ought not to leave some English with them to assist them in perfecting the civilisation they had commenced ; but it was ultimately thought better to leave them alone. He trusted the result of their visit to Abyssinia would not be without a useful effect in rendering the country prosperous and peaceful. In concluding, his lordship expressed his extreme gratification at the welcome he had received at Woolwich. lie felt as proud of his brother officers in the Artillery as of his own in the Engineers. They had lived together and fought together, and he trusted the good feeling they had manifested towards him that evening would last as long as he lived. In sitting down, Lord Napier was loudly cheered.

(From tie Church News.) After an interval of more than three hundred years the Bishop of Rome has once more issued a Bull convoking an " (Ecumenical and General Council." Its assembling will mark an era not less momentous than that of the Council of Trent, and the results to be expected will be equally marke I and grave. Three hundred years ago the greatest op ponents of the See of Rome professed great reverence and much arxiety for a true (Ecumenical Synod. It was so in Germany, it was so in England. Now, however, the whole current of society runs in another direction. The world has ceased to care for the authority of the Church, and can quietly criticise, without any feeling of personal interest or con cern, the antiquated and stately solemnity of the document which has just issued from the Vati can. Or if, as may be the else, it recognises in it the muster-call of a vast and powerful army, summoned to take an active part in the contro versies of the day and the questions which ar.3 working most energetically in the minds of modern thinkers, the world at large regards it as a hostile army to be encountered and crushed without cere mony and without mercy. At the time of the Council of Trent the Church and the world were in very different relative posi tions from those which they now occupy ; and even those States and nations most in antagonism to the Church were among the foremost in allying them selves with religious principles and with religious organizations. It is changing now. In every di rection is the authority of the State disengaging it self, not only from the Church, but from religion ; and the influence of religion, which in many coun tries is at present one with that of the Church of Rome, is gradually dwindling away, even in those countries—as Austria, taly, and Spain—where but a few years ago it might have been supposed im movable. We cannot' wonder, that, as the .aged Pontiff reviewed in turn from the Vatican the countries of the Christian world, he should have epitomised the results of his survey in the gloomy and bitter censures contained i❑ his Bull. A horrible tempest, he truly declares, agi tates the Church, and at the same time all the foun dations of the earth are out of course. It is very natural, under such circumstances, ecclesiastical and civil, to turn to the idea of a Ge neral Council as the right remedy for our ills, so far as they may be healed by the Church. Perhaps our times are not in themselves worse than many that have preceded them, but they are the begin ning of a new state of society, which promises to be more desperately ungodly than any generation the world has yet seen. It is in itself a remarkable sign of the times thst the solemn reassembling of the Universal Episcopate in General Council should at this particular juncture be thought essential to the welfare of the Church. It is a proof that the in stinct of the Church is leading her to fall back on her great stronghold reserved for times of excep tional necessity and peril. And when we say " the Church," we do not mean the Roman Communion only. We all know how the same feeling of the necessity for united action has been growing and variously manifesting itself outside that Com munion, and how the longing for the time when the whole Church may again really unite in one truly (Ecumenical Synod has been gathering strength year by year. The Papal Bull is but the strongest evidence that the feeling is not confined to those who are outside, but is shared in by the heads of the Roman Communion itself. Of course a really (Ecumenical Council is at present impos sible ; the very terms of the Pontifical summons exclude the possibility ; but they show that Rome believes it to be needed, as we also believe ; and when the whole Church shall unite in desiring and praying for it, then we trust it will be time for it to come. Partial, however, as the Council must be, partial in extent, partial in authority, its influence for good or for evil must be enormous. Critical questions for the Church and the World will have to be dis cussed, and in one way or other decided. The Bull gives sufficiently clear indications that many ques tions closely bearing on modern politics will be brought under review. The result can scarcely be doubted. It is not at such times as this, when the spiritual power and influence of the See of Rome are most strongly manifested, that that See will be most disposed to conciliate the powers of the World, or to abate aught of its own lofty preten sions. In the meantime the wheels of political society will have rolled on in their present grooves for eighteen 'months longer, and the divergence of wordly policy from spiritual contest will have become still more rrarked. Dogmatism on one side will evoke more decided counter-dogmatism on the other, and a vast impetus will be given to the almost universal tendency wholly to separate poli tics from religion. As M. 011ivier said in his weighty and significant speech, the convocation of this Council is " the gravest act which has been ac complished since 1789. It is separation of Church and State proclaimed for the first time by the Pope himself." Doubtless it was the conviction of the growing hostility of secular powers to the Church and reli gion which caused the exclusion of all reference to them iu the Papal Bull. The Pope must have felt that their interests were not his, and he could not call them to council as friends. His omission of invitation to secular princes may have been, and probably was, a tacit admission of this truth ; a mutual recognition of the virtual separation be tween the Church and the world which is growing more decided day by day, and which the result of the Council will in all probability precipitate. There is much that is striking in the unflinching firmness with which the Roman Pontiff, fully con scious as he must be that he is but increasing his temporal troubles, summons his spiritual authority to the conflict with the growing ungodliness of the age. To a very great extent his cause is that of the whole Church, and his enemies are ours and those of the whole Christian society. Hitherto it has been urged as a reproach against the Roman communion that it has done comparatively little in the war against modern infidelity. We hope this reproach is now about to be wiped away, for it cer tainly can no longer be pretended with any decent plausibility that the contest is one wholly ex ternal to herself, a mere exhibition of Protestantism bearing its own fruit. But if the Church of Rome is preparing for a more formal separation from secular powers we wish we could hope she would seek corirpensation in drawing nearer to other branches of the Church. God may bring it about, but it is what we cannot possibly anticipate in the ordinary course of things. Nothing is said in the Bull about the infallibility of the Bishop of Rome, but there are grave suspicions, and fully justified by the course of modern Roman policy, that this monstrous dogma may be raised into an article of the Roman Catholic faith. It is indeed difficult to see how it should be otherwise if the traditional course of proceeding be followed. It has been permitted, encouraged, taught publicly, main tained controversially, all without rebuke, just as in the case of the dogma of the immaculate concep tion, and now nothing seems wanting but to put the seal of authority ou that which has been so long quasi-authoritatively upheld. To say that it would be a most disastrous and suicidal step is nothing. Rome has so far committed herself that she will find it infinitely bard to pause or to turn back, and we can only hope that she may be withheld even against her own will, from an act which would stereotype her claims as falsehood and her Position in the face of Christendom as irremediably schis matical. Rome cannot alter facts : and so long as history rernaina history, and facts retain any de finite meaning whatever, no decrees of so-called CErmmenical Councils can make the Bishop of Rome's infallibility anything better than a fiction and an absurdity. It would be something far be yond a blunder to raise Such a dogma into an article of faith, while it would be a blunder of the most formidable kind for R9lllO at one and the same time to throw down the gauntlet of defiance to the spirit of temporal power, and to shut herself oti by an adamantine wall from one-half of the Catholic Church.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. 'rho first business was the formal withdrawal of the Metropolitan Foreign Oattle Market Bill, of which notice had been given a few hours before. The discharge of the order led to a short conversation, in which the natural re gret was expressed on one side and exultation on the other. Mr. AYRTON'S self-congratulation took tho ironical tone of an eulogy on the forms of the house, which bad enabled a minority to assert the cause of justice and reason against a majority. Mr. Cowan, Mr. Norwood, and Mr. J. S. Mill, who also rejoiced at the withdrawal of the bill, agreed that a ju dicious code of Privy Council Orders would meet the evil. Mr. READ, who took occosion to disclaim the honour so often attributed to him in the debates, of being the father of the bill, admitted that the Government, under the circumstances, bad little option but to withdraw it. Mr. KENDALL protested against the Protectionist theories imputed to the supporters of the bill ; their sole desire was to keep out disease. Mr. Newdegate, Colonel North, and Mr. Lowther and other supporters of the bill, also spoke in the same sense ; but its Irish supporters, by their strong language, scorned to take its failure much more to heart. General DUNNE broadly maintained that the Govern ment could have passed it had they been in earnest, and Mr. Blake asserted that he knew of capitalists in the city who would gladly have taken on themselves the financial respon sibi lity. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the decision of the Government, who, he maintained, ba d done all in their power to pass t 1 e bill, and had only yielded to pertinacious opposition and insuperable difficul ties. The capitalists of whom Mr. Blake had spoken wer e not willing to undertake the compensations. After some remarks from Colonel SYKES and Lord B• MONTAGU the bill was withdrawn. The Regulation of Railways Bill was read a third time and passed, but before attaining this final stage several new clauses were considered and disposed of. The only one of general importance, which obtained the assent of the house, was a clause moved by Mr. H. B. Sheridan, compelling railway companies to provide in every train smoking compartments for each class of passengers. n was opposed by Mr. Laing, Mr. Leeman, and others of the "railway director." interest. The Government, repre sented by Colonel W. Patten, the Attorney-General, an d Mr. S. Cave, did not give it much support, recommendi n g that it should be left to the Companies gradually to tidal' t themselves to public convenience ; and Mr. Cave prom ised that if this time next year they had not profited by the re spite, he would support compulsion. This compromise was not satisfactory to members who either confessed to be breakers of the law themselves, o r who bad suffered inconvenience from its infraction bY others. Mr. Neste, Lord C. Hamilton, Captain Stack poolo, Mr. D. Griffith, and Mr. Alderman Lusk supported the clause, and its only opponent among the independent members was Mr. Leveson-Gower, whose singular expe rience (confined to first-class travelling) was that no 101 or non-smoker experienced annoyance from the pres etj system. Ou a divison the clause was carried by 38 to a • It was afterwards modified, on the suggestion of Mr. 1% :; Beaumont and Sir C.
