In a mandate to the priests of Louth, Archbishop Kieran earnestly implores them to " direct the ener gies o f their flocks in such a way as to secure the return of two Liberal members at the next election." Everyone knows what Irish energies are, and how they find vent. A Paddy's energies are so irrepressible that he will fight his friend for the very love of him. One moment Pat's arm will be round Mike's neck, and he will blubber upon his sympa thetic bosom ; the next moment one or both will have a cracked crown, for which his friend's shillelagh is responsible. An Irishman must fight, especially at fairs and elections. One would have thought that the Archbishop would have desired his friends to control their energies. No • they must direct them, and for c ibl e argumen t s a dd r essed to the electors can, of course, be refuted only by similar weapons. Irish Protestants can fight as well as Irish Catholics, but surely the leaders on either side are not so mad as to add fuel to the fire of an election whiPl3 nromises to bn unusin_liv THE 1.11,16 R CHURCH. " W. R. G." has more to say on the sub - ject of the Irish Church. The scheme of disestablishment and disendowment, he thinks, bids fair to divide the Liberal party, and an influential section reluctantly follows the leader. He proceeds to remove what he calls one or two popular errors. He denies that the Catholic masses pay for the support of the Church. If the tithe were abolished to-morrow not one shilling of the remission would go into the pockets of the cultivators of the soil. Another popular impression is that the Catholic clergy are poorly paid. They are in receipt of average incomes, large, o r larger, than the Protestants. He complains that the statements published as to the Protestant popula tion are incorrect and uncandid, and says that the fewer the number of Protestants the less a bl e are they to maintain a minister at their own charge. He repeats most of the old arguments in favour of the maintenance of the Irish Church, and complains that it is not known how her property will be disposed of. He says : " What puzzles me most is, that so sincere and lucid a mind as Mr. Gladstone's should reckon tne sum winch lie proposes t o p ay t o th e proprietors of livings for their advowsons as a portion of the endowments which the Church is to retain." The English Church must follow the Irish. "W. R. G." proposes that the latter should be disestablished, but not disendowed. The disestabli s h m ent w ould involve only the retirement of the Irish bishops from the House of Lords. Although "W. R. G." disbelieves altogether in the theological position of the Church, and is not a member of it, he regards the problem from a statesman's point of view, and contemplates the impending changes with dismay. THE PRIMACY. The Advertiser gives the substance of a communi cation from a correspondent who professes to have obtained his information from a high quarter. It refers to the vacant archbishopric. This was offered to the Bishop of London, but that prelate refused on account of the state of his health, as he considered the appointment would involve more numerous and onerous 'Auties than he has at present. According to the same authority, the Archbishop of York has accepted the Archbishopric of Canterbury. The Bishop of Oxford is to be the new Archbishop of York. Our contemporary cannot . credit these statements. and for once we tree with hint for pulpy Ti ~c - One ox - mein Is Mit gfvet by bur Lon a= correspondent some time ago, that the appointment will not, in all probability, be made till after the elections. TKE POOR-LAW BOARD. The Liberal papers are all indignant at the appoint ment of Messrs. Courtenay and Fleming to the position of sub-inspectors of workhouses. One of them attacks very earnestly the " original " Fleming, the permanent secretary of the Poor-law Board. It hints that Mr. Fleming's influence has been used " against those who give trouble by exposing evil; " that he has caused the banishment of one inspector because of the outspoken consistency with which he had fought the battle of the poor ; that he has exacted a tacit agreement " to keep things quiet " and " on no account to come into collision with the guardians," and that his conduct requires investigation. Further, he stands at the head of a system which it will be the duty of the new Parliament' to uproot. ANOTHER LONDON PAPER. Another London paper appeared yesterday—the Morning Summary. It is formed somewhat on the model of the Pall Mall Gazette. The idea is excellent. Such a paper has long been wanted. It is free from those " harrowing details " in which larger papers delight, while it gives a " well-digested " sum mary of he news of the day. The " tone" is Conservative, and though it professes to be free from the influence of party, there is a very decided partisan air about it. It makes a very important announcement to-day as to the arrangements at the War Office. A happy compromise will very probably, it says, put an end to the difficul ties created by the appointment of Sir Henry Storks. Sir Edward Lugard, the present per manent Under Secretary of State, will either retire on his pension or accept a divisional command. The post thus vacated will be filled by Sir Henry Storks. Sir William Power, at present the chief of the Commissariat Department will receive the appointment of Controller-in-Chief, with rank and remuneration equivalent to the Financial Secretary —Mr. Douglas Galton. Colonel Martindale, formerly head of the Barrack Department, will assume the duties of Controller at Aldershot. "I FORBID THE BANNS." The Morning Summary is responsible for the sub stance of the following tale. At Marylebone Church, on the Sunday before last, the banns of marriage were published between a youthful member of the aristocracy and a young " somebody," whose portrait hangs in respectable shops, next the Royal Family and the clergy. The " somebody "in question is rather notorious in London just now. She is very pretty, and her portrait is much admired. The original of the picture does not appear in such respectable company as her portrait. The friends of the contracting parties rallied round the victims, and suspicious -looking broughams conveyed suspicious looking people from Saturday night revels to the peaceful Sunday simplicity of Marylebone Church. Unfortunately, there was a hitch. A relative took upon himself the unpleasant task of preventing the aristocratic minor from play ing out his fool's game, and the numerous friends and rivals of the unhappy lady went home, sadly disappointed at the contretemps, and endeavoured to postpone their consolation until the following evening, when she was found, as usual, enthroned in a fool's paradise in Holborn—by kind permission of the proprietors. Should the young nobleman have made up his mind, the relative will find some diffi culty in preventing the arrival of that time when ho must " for ever hold his peace." ~ Z A CLERGYMAN'S REBUKE. The Rector of Oldswinford having some little time ago married his servant, he justified his conduct to his parishioners from the pulpit. In that sermon, while preaching doctrines of equality, he took care to remind his hearers of his own high birth. He has now issued a pamphlet, addressed to the " penny a-liners," which is a most extraordinary production: He abuses them roundly, and defends the choice of his old age. He thinks thus of his much-honoured wife. "She was my cook, but of that order a member of which is called in language more polite, if of the male sex, a Maitre-dllotel or Chef—if of the female, a Cordon Bleu. And, by the shades of Careme, of Beauvilliers, and of Ude, I vow it is to me no easy matter to determine that one who has attained, as far as woman may, to pro ficiency in their high art and mystery, has displayedless talent than is required for the conduct of a coalpit, an iron -work, a brickfield, or a glasshouse; for perus ing novels, even of French, for working a banner screen, or a cushion, or performing indifferently on the piano." He is very angry with the ladies of his congrega tion for staring at his wife. His effusion is a verbose and extraordinary one, and the unsophisticated Mrs. Craufurd must be no less astonished than gratified at this chivalric defence. Far different was the conduct of the incumbent of St. John the Baptist, Peter borough, who married a schoolmistress, after the death of his father, the bishop, and issued a pamphlet, addressed to his parishioners, which was little more than an abject apology. CAMBRIAN OR ANGLICAN. The question whether the county of Monmouth belongs to England or Wales is decided by " S.S.P." in a letter to the Times. Tie quotes from several Acts as to Monmouth, the inference from which is, that Monmouth is and always has been in England. The Welsh courts which were set up never had power to try cases in the county of Monmouth. All Chancery cases were sent to the English courts. The county forms part of the Oxford Circuit, and in all Acts of Parliament it is acknowledged as part of England. THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE. France is also to have her Atlantic cable. It will not be long—if things go smoothly—before messages will pass into France direct from America without having to come to Valentia. The cable will be sub stantially the same as the one connecting the United States with this country ; the same company to make it, and the same well-known names in connection with it. Two thousand seven hundred and eighty eight nautical miles of cable have to be and are being constructed at Greenwich. The most interest ing part of the process seems to be the preparation of the gutta percha coating which preserves the wires under the sea. This must be in a very peculiar con dition. It must stick well to the wires, and yet be so constructed as not to interfere with insulation. The gutta percha must be pure. It comes from Singa pore in various shapes. The process for elimi nating foreign matter is most elaborate. First the blocks—some of them old idols—must be cut into shreds, then torn into very small pieces ; after softening, forced through fine wire gauze, washed in boiling water, then kneaded, then put on the wire. The most delicate tests electricians can devise are applied, after which the coated wires are sent to another manufactory to be finished. A CAUTION. Although rogues seem to have an endless variety of tricks for catching fools, displaying an ingenuity in conception and a skill in carrying them out which is amazing, they occasionally resort to some of the good old-fashioned modes of robbery. After a time they reckon that people have forgotten some of their plans. Pimlico, Brompton, and other neighbourhoods have lately been favoured with visits from a well-dressed gentleman seeking apartments. He would manage to get an insight into some of the valuable contents of an upper bedroom. He would then descend to the drawing-room, and ask for pen and ink to write his reference. As the housekeeper descended to the lower parts of the house for materials, the enterprising man ascends to the upper. On one occasion he did not come down soon enough to anticipate the occupants of the house, and his career is likely to be cut short by incarcera tion in one of her Majesty's gaols. There may be some new features in this mode of thieving which would entitle the man to a patent, but the general utune 13 8() 01a, that we wonder people are talcen_tn by it. FANCY " BREAII, ,The great evils which arose in consequence of the baker selling his bread by measure and measuring it by his eye, caused an Act to be passed in the reign of George W. prohibiting the sale of bread other than by weight. A provision, however, was inserted which exempted "fancy " bread. That proviso has been the source of continual irritation. At the time this was passed the fancy bread was that baked in tins, or crusted. Other bread, being joined, had only the top and bottom crusted. " Fancy " bread was then rare • it was indulged in only by the better class. Since then, however, the times have changed—old manners gone. The fancy bread, once the exception, has become the rule. One rarely sees now the " ordinary loaf," as it was then called. At any rate, it is not commoner than other kinds of bread. The population seems to have a liking for crust, and gets it. The proviso, therefore, really opens the door for fraud, fraud that cannot be punished. The time, therefore, has come when the clause should be repealed, and good weight secured to everyone, no matter whether they prefer crust or not. VERDICTS. The jury has returned a verdict of "accidental death " at the inquest upon the poor man killed by the fall of a warehouse in Rigby-street, Liverpool. They recommend competent inspection of build ings which are used for warehouses without being originally built for them. The late accident of a similar character at Hull, would suggest a periodical, inspection of all warehouses. Some philanthropisl might take the general subject in hand for the next session of parliament, and turn his attention to boiler accidents and explosions at the same time. The coroner's jury in the case of the Newnharn accident will hardly acquit everyone of ';.lame in the eyes of those who have lately turned their attention to these railway accidents, though it so pleasantly whitewashes the company and its servants, ' • ~~ NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " RAYMOND'S HEROINE."
