SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times, whilst allowing that Mr. Murphy is of a ram type, and granting that policemen's staves and a relegation to gaol are the only arguments of any force with the actors in the disgraceful scenes of Saturday and Sunday, yet thinks there are persons, whose subordinate Mr. ;Murphy himself is, who ought to be not altogether beyond the reach of persuasion. Cau these persons seriously believe that good is done to Protestantism or harm to Romanism by displays of this description? It it hard to suppose that any one can in the wildest flight of imagination persuade himself that the Roman Catholics among the lecturer's hearers will be turned from the error of their ways by coarse insults levelled at their common sense and their morality. But perhaps it is, after all, only the fervour of Protestants themselves which it is proposed by this eccentric machinery to cherish and animate. In such case surely there are Protestants elsewhere, ardent or lukewarm, who might be harangued on the vices of the rival creed without putting the country to the cost of a riot for every discourse. We have suggested to Mr. Murphy's patrons tlil duty of weighing the re3ponsibility his demeanour imposer on them. But we dare not hope to find them either able or willing to conjure down the storm they have helped to raise. Our trust is rather in the vigour of the magis trates. A critical exigency like this may excite their energy, and any occasion which has that effect will not have been without some beneficial result. The dis coverers of " good in everything" may detect in Mr. Murphy the nuisance whose final cause it is to rouse borough magistrates to a sense of their duties and powpro. These functionaries may zest satisfied that in the present case the country will be with them in any exertion they make of their very ample jurisdiction to put down thit particularly obnoxious form of outrage. The Daily News observes that Murphy has simply learnt the lesson thus taught by a small dominant esta blishment in a more direct form, and illustrates it in a more open and avowed manner than many of his brethren of the same colour. But if somewhat candid and outspoken, he still faithfully reflects the spirit and policy of the order to which he belongs. His persistent attempt to dis turb the public place, to provoke, if possible, by evasions of the law serious riots, and directly endanger the lives and property of large classes of the community, he denominates zeal for Protestantism, and claims on the strength of these mischievous and dan gerous demonstrations to be the champion of beleaguered Protestantism as represented by the Irish Establishment. This claim, too, is recognised and formally endorsed by the Manchester Orangemen, who are his supporters and admirers. At the meeting on Saturday, in the very midst of the riot, they passed a resolution declaring that William Murphy was a fit and proper person to represent Pro- testant interests in Manchester in the House of Commons. We earnestly commend the entire proceed. ings to the notice and criticism of those who identify the cause of Protestantism with the defence of the Irish Establishment. The real truth is, that by the intolerant spirit it has nourished, and the breed of malignant fanatics it has engendered, the Irish Church has done more to dis credit Protestantism and disgrace the very name of Christianity than their avowed enemies could have effected. The Star suggests as a solution of the present difficulty that the privilege of entering the stations be made a matter of arrangement between the cabmen and the com panies, so as for the former to agree to be inspected and to pay a slight toll—say a penny—when they have occasion to take their places on the stands within the stations. The men, if reasonable, would agree to divide amongst the whole trade on these terms, the privilege now enjoyed by a minority. The control of the company's officer must, of course, be absolute. Any cab in any way objectionable must be liable to be immediately ordered out of any station. But on such a system there would be found amongst cabmen a general disposition to secure, by the satisfactory neatness and cleanliness of their vehicles, the opporLunities which are now secured by the insignia of railway privilege. With the question between the "privileged and the win-privileged" the public (the Standard thinks) certainly will not interfere ; but one result of the strike must be to draw public attention to the intolerable nuisance of these modes of bargain, and to dispose them to demand legislative protection on their own behalf of such a kind as will render the nuisance impossible in future. Let the cabmen have full redress for all their just grievances. Let them be relieved of the excessive license fee, and permitted even to exact higher fares for a proportionate kind of service. On the other hand, let us have a decent and reputalle class of public conveyances, always available, with extra comfort and speed for those who will pay for them. This is the true cab reform which is wanted ; and the one good result which we hope from the present strike is that it will render this reform imperative. Is it possible, inquires the Herald, that any single per son genuinely concerned in preserving iu this country the connection between Church and State cannot see that if they be severed in Ireland they will almost immediately be severed in England as well? It is idle, if it is not downright disingenuous, to allege that the two cases have nothing in common. They have so much in common that they are nothing less than one. A principle of political and social government under lies both alike ; and the arguments which are held to be valid against the one will soon be found to be conclusive against the other. The Mezentian metaphor that has been used so often and so freely is quite foreign to the purpose. If the Protestant Church in Ireland were already dead, why should such infinite pains be taken to kill it? To say that the Church in Ireland is a corpse, and the Church in England a living, breathing, active entity, and that it is only in obedience to the common dictates of humanity that the Radical party longs to sever the unnatural links which bind them together, is a pretence too transparent to mislead even the most unsophisticated. Itis precisely because the Church is alive—keenly, sensitively, actively alive—in Ireland as well as in England, that this operation of severance is so much insisted on by the enemies of both. The union which they really wish to sever is the union which is the secret of all force. Divide et impera is a►n instruction how to deal with your foes, and not with your own forces. The-Standard finds it very hard to comprehend theprin mple upon which the " philosophers "—there is no other name for them—object to paying for their election to Par liament. Putting aside the vulgar explanation that they wish to save their money, which we are convinced is not abstruse enough to solve the question, we should like to have it explained by what process of reasoning a man con vinces himself that it is very wrong for him to pay his own election expenses, but not wrong to allow a public appeal to be made for the money, nor to contribute himself towards the election expenses of othus. Mr. John Stuart Mill, for example, will not pay a shilling towards his own return, but he has sent £25 to the secretary of the Gladstone com mittee at Greenwich. If the electors alone ought to pay for the return of their members, Mr. Mill has acted im properly in sending this money, and also in permitting an appeal to be made to the general public on his own behalf. That a man does any honour to himse lf or to his country by avowi,ng that he is willing to levy a sort of tax upon all his friends for the advancement of his own ambition is a proposi tion which it is difficult to accept. There is a subtlety of morals hidden away somewhere in the question, and it satisfies Mr. Mill's conscience. Mr. Fawcett's plan of throWing a part of the election expenses on the rates was at least intelligible. But to send round the hat among one's friends for the sake of getting into Parliament cheaply is a scheme which seems to common observers to have little to do with patriotism, and to have its origin chiefly in hypocrisy or selfishness. The Northampton electors have for ten or twelve yeas. wen represented by two Liberals, Mr. Charles Gilpin and Lord Henley, and during the whole of that time their votes have been sedulously and constantly recorded in behalf of all Liberal measures. The Telegraph protests against a change which it is now proposed to make. Lord Henley has given offence to some of his constituents, and it is proposed to substitute Mr. Bradlaugh. This gentle man is the editor of an obscure Secularist newspaper, and is an itinerant lecturer against the Christian religion. At various times he has been the defendant in prosecutions directed against him for using blasphemous language in public, and be has endeavoured, hitherto without success, to obtain the repute of martyrdom on account of his theological or anti-theological opinions. With the truth or error of his peculiar tenets we have nothing what ever to do ; and we are not prepared to say that men whe hold his faith should not make known their convictions gravely and solemnly. Still, apart from the question of religious truth, the majority has a right to claim that its opinions and beliefs shall be treated with decent respect, and we protest against the vulgar insolence of tirades lik e those of "Iconoclast "an d his fellows against what ninety. nine Englishmen out of a hundred deem holy and sacred. Mr. Bradlaugh cannot possibly be returned ; the great bulk fof Liberals would rather vote for the rankest Tory tha" t for "Iconoclast, and the Telegraph hopes his name will be withdrawn at once. He is merely risking the return of a Tory. The Post, commenting on the folly and absurdity of the 'soldier's costume as at present ordained, suggests a few improvements. We want a soft light woollen cap for marching, working, and fighting in : the Glengarry is the nearest approach to this, and if nicely ornamented would look uncommonly smart and serviceable. That other abomination, the leather stock, should vanish, ant' its place be taken by either a small "soft stock or a kerchief. The standing collar shoull give place to one permitting the most complete freedom of the neck. The coat should resemble in shape the nen patrol jacket which the officers now wear, and which is a very neat and comfortable garment, permitting the wearer to move freely and clothe himself in accordance with the temperature. Knickerbockers would decidedlj be the most desirable nether garment ; but if we art not sufficiently " educated" for this tremendous innova thus, the trousers should be made wide at the upper hart, and only large enowli to allow th I foot to pass through below. The present "ankle *cks " should be replaced by shooting-boots of the Bal oral shape, and all the hard, thick, pipe-clayed belt! s'iould be rejected for pl a i n leather belts, stained or dyei to a rich brown or other suitable colour. Thus dressed and carryin ,, the improved knapsack, which we shall, it ii to be hoped, soon have, the soldier would not only bemucl more comfortable than he is at present, but he would Ist enabled to undergo an amount of fatigue which would nos simply prostrate or incapacitate him for further and im mediate movements. PRESENTATION OF CLOTH BY THE COR PORATION OF LONDON TO HER MA JESTY'S MINISTERS. The presentation of four yards and a half of " the finest black cloth that the country could produce" to certain officers of the Crown annually forms a regular item in the " City's Estate " accounts from year to year, the amount per annum being set down at £230. Upon making inquiries into the particulars of this singular entry, we find in the Liber Custumarum, In the reign of Edward 1., it was ordained by the City " that no one should cause cloth to be woven for sale except in the City, or in the Portsokene, or within the franchise of the City, under pain of forfeiture and loss of such cloth," and that this, with other ordinances, "should be proclaimed throughout the City after the feast of St. Michael in every year." It moreover appears that at this period (1272-1307) the citizens possessed the right of the Metage of cloth, as well as that of corn, fruit, &c., in con nection with the Blackwell-hall factors, and by virtue of which ri they measured all cloth sold or received in the City for sale. At that early period, it seems, the civic authorities sent year by year to the principal Ministers of State " four yards and a half of the finest black cloth that the country could produce," and the custom is continued up to the present day. The opinion of most competent authorities as to the reason of this singular presentation, in kind, to the high officers of the Crown and others appears to be rather conflicting, but it is generally believed that it must have been " for the purpose of encouraging the woollen manufactures in their earlier stages, and to show to the highest in authority the progress that was made from year to year in that par ticular branch of industry. From a list which has been kept in the Chamberlain's office for nearly the last cen tury, it appears that the gentlemen who receive the compliment are the First Secretary of State, the Lord Chancellor, the Chamberlain of the Household, the Vice- Chamberlain of the Household, the Lord Steward, the Comptroller, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, the Master of the Rolls, the Recorder of London, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and the Common Serjeant, and for the due receipt of which the Corporation hold the ordinary voucher in each case respectively. Why the custom should be continued at the present time, and so long after the juzisdiction of the City over the sale of cloth has ceased, and why the expense should not have been long since discontinued, it is not possible to say; but there it stands, as a charge upon the City cash, as another evidence of the fact that a custom once established is but very rarely repealed voluntarily. THE UNITY OF CHRISTENDOM. On Monday night a special service in connection with the association for the promotion of the above object was held at All Saints', Lambeth. The ritual and doctrine were both of the most advanced kind, and the service was protracted to the length of two hours and a half, during which, in consequence of the crowded state of the church and the high temperature, the heat was stifling. At eight o'clock the procession started from the vestry. It was of immense length and of an extraordinary character, monks in their habits and with shaven crowns taking part in it. Gorgeous banners, a huge brass cross, and a pastoral staff were borne in it, and as the pro cession crept along at the slowest pace, a hymn in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary was sung, containing this Petition— " Intercede when sin is strong ; Christ thy voice is heeding." The paper of the hymns stated that it was the even of the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After this the " Miserere " in English was chanted at the altar, all the con gregation kneeling. Evensong was proceeded with, and contained some remarkable interruptions, very puzzling to those who were strange to such services. The " Magnificat" was dragged out to an immense length, Dr. Lee standing immediately in front of the altar during its progress, but not vested in the cope, as is the custom in some churches. He wore, as did the other priests, cassocks, surplices or albs, with the university hoods, and richly embroidered stoles. After the " Magnificat " the priest chanted the words " On Thy right hand stood the Queen, in a vesture of gold," &c. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. Percival Ward, M.A., rector of Compton Valiance. This gentleman exhibited the most extra ordinary nervousness at the commencement, hesitating and repeating his words over and over again, but as the sermon, which was a long one, progressed, he became bolder in his delivery, as he did in his doctrine. He condemned secession from the Church, although he admitted the isolated position of the Church of England ; but he remarked that she was the only instance in which a revival had occurred from within, and not by pressure from without. He traced the present movement from the two Wesleys, and reviewed the history of the Church for the last hundred years. Allusion was made to the great Oxford movement, the leaders in it, and the decisions of law courts on matters of doctrine. Mr. Ward congratulated his hearers that Church doctrines had always been stronger after the law had attempted to crush them. He noted that the Churches were losing their influence in secular matters all over the world, and he regretted the lest influence of the Pope in Spain, France, and Austria. He hoped for a day when the Church should be able to reassert her authority, denouncing the movements of modern infidelity as represented by such men as Garibaldi; then the dogmata of the Church would take the place of private judgment. A united Christendom could only do this, and he was sanguine enough to look forward to the time when the different branches of the Catholic Church should meet together for worship,perhaps in Jerusalem itself. After service, the procession re-formed, and the recessional hymn " 0 Paradise !" was sung. Incense was used in proces sion, but persons and things were not incensed. The altar was covered with lights and flowers. The singing was at times very indifferent, the reeds of the organ out of tune, and the instrument badly played ; but some of the chanting with such a large body of voices was occasionally very effective. The contrast between the severity of the Gregorian tone and such flippant rubbish as the tune " 0 Paradise ! " ,is strange and inexplicable. The con gregation was a mixed one, a specimen of the costermonger being seen here and there. The worthy inhabitants of the New•cut appeared much astonished at the unwonted pre sence of broughams in the neighbourhood, and rendered exit from the neighbourhood a matter to be accomplished with all convenient despatch. Mr. John Lewis Fytche, an ex-high-sheriff of Lin colnshire, has been fined £4 lls., including costs, or one month's imprisonment, for horsewhipping a boy, aged 13 -ears. A testimonial is about to be presented to Mr. William Paterson, potato merchant, Dundee, for having, after many years of laborious experiments, succeeded in raising potatoes from seed, at a time when the ravages of the disease threatened to cut short the supply of that vegetable. Mr. Paterson's potatoes are said to be free from disease, and to stand to other potatoes as regards farina in the ratio of 21 to 12. In making his experiments Mr. Paterson incurred serious loss, which it is now pro posed to reimburse by public subscription. Several leading Scotch noblemen have joined the committee for raising subscriptions. AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE. Julius Caesar Thompson was married at St. Louis to Mdlle.Antoinette Rutger. The bridegroom was a handsome mulatto, worth 200,000 dols. and upwards, and the bride a plain-looking ditto, but richly gilded likewise. The flunkey parsons decked the church. As for magnates of the land, and for such as those who by education, intelligence, and social position could command such attention, carpets were spread, and six clergymen, with eighteen satellites, tied the dusky knot. The man was a barber, and gave his wife 15,000 dols. to buy her trousseau with. The bride has always refused white men, and possesses a scrapbook containing several thousand letters received from white young men anxious to marry the rich child of Ethiope. SCENE IN A NEW YORK THEATRE. During .ne performance of " Foul Play" at the Broadway Theatre, New York, on August 25, six sheriff's ,officers came on the stage after the second act to arrest Mr. Harkins, one of the actors, against whom a warrant of arrest had been granted in the morning by Judge Barnard, at the suit of Mr. Lloyd, the lessee of the theatre. Mr. Harkins escaped out of the theatre through the orchestra. It does not appear that any violent resistance was offered to the officers of the law ; but before the curtain rose for the third act several shots were heard. Two persons fell— Stephen Wilson, an old nightman, and a boy named Chamberlain. The boy was reported to be in a dying state, and Wilson was dangerously wounded. The play went on as if nothing had occurred, Mr. Little performing the part that Harkins was to have played. A BOY HANGED.—An inquest has been held on the body of a boy named Thomas Wood, an orphan, aged 14 years, respectably connected, at Longton, Staffordshire. The deceased was a sharp, intelligent lad, and had for some time been engaged at the office of Mr. Robinson, solicitor, as writing clerk. On Saturday morning he was missed from the office where hewas employed, and in the afternoon was found dead, banging by a rope to a beam in an outhouse in the rear of Mr. Robinson's premises. Nothing to satisfactorily account for this extraordinary occurrence was laid before the coroner; but it was said the youth had been probably experimenting, he having been read. ing some trashy books on the subject of hanging, and some sheets of blotting-paper being found placed round his neck. The jury returned, ap open verdict of found hanged. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1868, SKE7CIIES IN FOREIGN CHURCHES. Under this heading the Church Times, a Ritualistic organ, prints the following article, which will be read with the greater interest be cause of the writer being a Protestant, and discussing what he observed from a Protestant point of view : Does any one reading this remember the Palais de Justice at Rouen, that delightful pile or r interlaced wreaths of stone tracery and taper spirelets and crocketted dormers and fretted façade —an autumn of Gothic architecture, where every delicate shoot has thrust its fur thest, and every leaf has become puckered, and every flower has fruited ? All the splendour which precedes decay characterises the flamboyant French style. It has none of the primness of our Perpendicular, nor the ruggedness of the rustic of German Gothic decay, but it is the perfection of abandon, light, frivolous, nerveless, marvellously beauti ful, utterly French. The chamber in which the Parliament of Normandy sat of old is now the court in which criminal trials are heard. It has been restored. 0 Restoration ! how many crimes are committed in thy name. The black oak ceiling from which exquisite pen dants hung has been snipped and clipped and gilded, and is very pretty and nice, but it is not what it once was. The old mottoes re- minding the Judges of their duties, which, along with many quaint and cunning devices, adorned the walls, have been pasted and covered over with olive paper, studded with gilt Napoleonic bees, neat enough, but mono tonous. But there is one feature of a French Court of Justice common to times remote and times modern, which, please God, never will be obliterated, and which certainly never can be improved. I allude to the crucifix above the Judge's seat, placed there to remind those who do justice, of Him who suffered through injustice, and who having been re garded once as a malefactor, will one day ascend the seat of judgment; and the duty of mercy tempering justice ; and rising before the eye of the culprit, it reminds him of the fountain of pardon whence the penitent thief drew life, after that the world had passed its sentence of death on him. The crucifix was sometimes concealed. It was so on the occa sion of the trial of the Marechal de Retz, when the crimes confessed by his accomplices were of such a frightful description that Pierre de l'Hospital, the judge, rose and silently drew the veil over the figure of the Redeemer. In ancient times, doubtless, some token of Chris tianity marked our Courts in England mais nous aeons change tout cela, and the sign of the Saviour has made way for the Royal Arms. In the Cathedral at Rouen, let into the pavement, is a small marble lozenge, marking the spot where once lay the lion heart of our Richard I. The brave King dearly loved Rouen, and, in token of his affection for the town, bequeathed to the Cathedral, the seat of his love, his heart. It lies not now in hallowed ground, having been removed to the Museum of Antiquities ! How thankful we must feel that the patriarch's bones in the cave of Mach pelah are guarded and protected by Infidels ; had they been in the bands of Christians, say English, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would be now lying ticketed under glass in the British Museum. I have headed this paper " St. Maclou," and thither I am bound, if the reader will pardon my loquacity and dilatoriness. But, one moment. It is absolutely impossible to pass a shop with charming papier mache figures of saints, either from Munich, or in the Munich style, and a little bit cheaper than they are to be got in London. And here occurs one of those sudden shocks which come on one in France, and which glare out with greater prominence there than in England ; next door to the shop of objects of religion is a book seller's, the windows plastered with the vilest of modern French novels, of the De Balzac, Paul de Kock school. In England the world and the Church do not present such trenchant contrasts, because the Church has so diligently laboured to show the primrose path to the world, that the world agrees to clip its locks, and wear the sugar-loaf hat, and sober garb, and adopt the Puritan snuffle as its masquerade dress in public. But in France the world and the Church hate each other as intensely as do the infidel and the Catholic party in Eng land, and there is no concealment of antago nism. In an ancient siege those defending the city let down great leathern bags stuffed with hay between their wall and the heads of the battering rams, and thus deadened the strokes of their instruments. The Evangelicals are the hay bags of our beleagured Zion, and it is ill to cast their leathery hides and internal poverty in their teeth when their very coarse ness and stupidity fulfilsa purpose which they are too dull to perceive, but of which those defending Zion know how to avail themselves. I was at St. Maclou at eight one morning, saying my devotions, and was struck by the number of boys and girls who continued to stream in till nine, evidently on their way to school, equipped with satchel and slate. Some were children of well-to-do parents, others of those very poor, but all entered with one intent, to pay their visit to the Blessed Sacrament before commencing their daily lessons. It was touching to notice the tiniest creatures making ineffectual attempts to reach the water in the stoups till some bigger boy or girl came to the rescue and gave the little dolls the holy water wherewith to cross themselves. Some of the boys bowed to the Blessed Sacramentand then passed out at another door, others remained a moment to say a brief prayer. No teacher was with them. It seemed to come naturally to the children to take the Church on their way to school and—poor little lambs—to present themselves thus before their Good Shepherd. Here was a religious act, a recognition of God by these innocents, done without compulsion or ostentation. Where shall we find the like in our own land ? In fact we have Protestan ized the fear and love of God out of the breasts of our children, and it is only where the Catholic system is in vogue again that the little ones flock to the house of God. I re member how when I was a small urchin I would use various endeavours, such as stand ing in water on the Saturday to catch cold, and thus have a reasonable excuse for not attend ing church on Sunday. On my first acquain tance with St. Barnabas, Pimlico, it was a matter of surprise to see the number of chil dren who attended its services and seemed- to love them, and the attraction a Catholic Church and service exercises on the young is one of the most comforting signs of the Ritual revival. St. Maclou was being prepared for a funeral whilst I was there ; black drapery was sus. pended between the pillars of the apse, and a posse of some fifty candles surrounded the coffin, which stood below the chancel step. . . At the distance of a couple of miles from Rouen, on a cliff above the Seine is a pilgrim age church entitled Notre Dame de Bonse cours. This church is a gorgeous work of art, is richly decorated with stained glass, gild ing, paintings, marbles, &c., and is altogether a very interesting object. I wish pilgrimages were practised in the English Church, and took the place of prunes, prism, propriety, and punctilio. Protestantism has done its utmost to disassociate religion and innocent enjoy ment, and has achieved a triumphant success in having emptied the churches and filled the pot-houses. But Christianity is a faith which consecrates not only work, suffering, and sor row, but also leisure, gladness, and merry mak ing. What more innocent amusement than a picnic ? and what more natural a means of enjoyment than a trip to the country ? Why not infuse the religious element into the popular excursion and picnic, and transform them into the pilgrimage ? Our bishops protest against the desecration of the " Sabbath"—which, by the way, is the Saturday—and deprecate the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday. Human nature and the exigences of civiliza tion require that the artizans of large towns should be given the means of enjoying fresh air and healthy recreation on the Sunday. Notre Dame de Bonsecours meets the wants felt by the operatives of manufacturing Rouen. The observance of religious duties and holiday making can be 'combined by a pilgrimage there whenever the air is clear and the sky bright. The objects of high art there elevate the taste of the pilgrims, the walk quickens their stagna ting blood, and religion takes the opportunity to invigorate their souls. Among the thousands who troop to the Crystal Palace, to Margate or Brighton on a Sunday, most are violating a scruple of con science by so doing. Were the holiday re quirements of the people taken in hand by the Church, and a religious tone given to them, consciences would not be hardened but be softened by these pleasure trips. The Church must look the needs of her children in the face, and whatever those needs may be, must adapt herself to them ; and this, being Catho lic, she alone of all communities is able per fectly to effect without loss of power and prin ciple. The religious Dissenters ,of England have long scowled from behind their Sabbatarian prison bars at the merry-makers in the fields and among the heather, ana at last have burst forth a-junketing too, but they term their Sun day excursions and picnics by the name of camp-meetings. The camp-meeting is the expression of the same requirements of humanity which in Catholic countries finds its legitimate scope in the pilgrimage. It is the glory of Christianity that it is able to consecrate every act of man so that it be comes very good before God. Thus the act of eating and drinking by the saying of a grace is sanctified. The daily labour, by a dedica tion of it to the Almighty, becomes, in unison with the works of Christ, meritorious. Sleep is hallowed by the evening prayers, and so the Church abroad, by giving her licence to pilgrimages, consecrates holiday-making and pleasure excursions. S. 8.-G. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, It is curious to note the change which is coming over the minds of High Church Angli cans in regard to the union of Church and State. To be a High Churchman formerly was to be an uncompromising advocate of the State Church, but now the most zealous, the most advanced among High Churchmen are in favour of disestablishment, because by such means alone they hope to obtain independence for the Anglican Church, and freedom from the interference of the State in doctrinal mat ters. We heartily sympathize with them in their desire for deliverance from the control of the civil power and from the yoke of the Royal Supremacy; we are only surprised that they have not been sooner driven to this con clusion. The Catholic principle as to the re lations between Church and State is some- thing quite different to the theoretical and actual position which the Anglican Church stands in towards the Civil Power. Accord ing to Catholic teaching, in all matters affect ing the moral and spiritual interests of a nation the Supernatural Power is supreme, and the State is bound, in conscience, by its pro fession of Christianity, not only to yield implicit obedience to the laws and directions of the Church, but effectually to co-operate in upholding the supernatural basis on which Christian society rests. The Church in her turn bestows her moral sanction, on human laws, and inculcates obedience and respect to the Civil Power as being divine in its origin, and as representing the Government of God in secular matters. No sincere and well instructed Catholic is at liberty to condemn a union of the two powers which the Church teaches to be beneficial to both. If we contrast the character of the union between Church and State as explained, not by the vagaries of in dividuals, but by Catholic teaching with the relation in which the Anglican Church stands to the State in England, we shall see that the Anglican Church, instead of being supreme, is subject to the State in matters ecclesiastical and spiritual. We have on former occasions shown that this subjection of the Spiritual to the Temporal Power is not a consequence of the English constitution, nor the result of law, but a practical and long enduring usurpation by the State. The Royal Supremacy as explained and acted upon by the State, and as acc e pt e d b y th e Church, puts the Spiritual Pow er i n a pos iti on subordinate to the Civil. If, then High Church Anglicans are unable to emancipate their Church from the Supremacy of the State, otherwise than by a complete s e p ar ation of the two Powers, it seems to us that it is their plain duty to insist, at whatever. cost, on such a Anglican on a principle Church and separation. This separation involves the viola tion of no Catholic principle, for such a union is A b n as gl e i the as Stateexists between England, t h which the Church condemns, the subjection, that is, of what purports in the eyes of the nation, to be a Spiritual Power to the State. To uphold E r astianism . cannot be, in th e e y es of High Church Anglicanism, a Catholic duty. According to their own principles such Angli cans are bound to liber ate th eir Church, and if by emancipation from the bonds of the State, they can secure the mainten ance o f th e remnant of Catholic dogma, whi c h t h e ru li ng Powers, both ecclesiastical and civil, are bent upon expunging, no regard to consequences ought to stand between them and the fulfil ment of this primary duty. For no evil consequences could be greater, according to their own belief, than the extirpati on by the Civil Power of whatever is most Catholic in the Anglican E s tablishment. ° But looking- at the question from a Cat holi c stand-point, we cannot but believe tlat the disestablishment of a great heresy, falling every day more and more into the hands of the Rationali s ts w ill, in spite of many great evils, be not a misfor tune but a boon to th e n ation. Instead of serving any longer as a breakwater against Rationalism, it admits the rising tide of this most seductive error of the day into the very heart of the nation. The State Church, more over, by its prestige and influence, by its false semblance of a National Church, by its perver sion of the true idea of a Spiritual Power, stands in the way of the growth and expansion of the Catholic Church. If, moreover, Catholicism is ever to regain possession of the nation, it must he over the ruins of the Anglican Establishment. Angli canism disestablished will have freer play; the more Catholic sections, untrammelled by State Supremacy, will gradually find their way home to the Catholic Church. The religious sen timent of the nation may undoubtedly in the first instance suffer, from the shock, but like a patient who has to undergo the amputation of a diseased limb, the inevitable shock to the system is a necessary preliminary to the resto ration of health. It cannot be denied that the disestablishment of the Irish Church will seriously raise the question as to the claims of Anglicanism to enjoy the rights of a National Church in Eng land. The more Rationalism invades the Establishment, and gains over to its side the ruling powers in Church and State, the more it restricts or lops off from the sacramental system, the less will the High Church party have to say in favour of the Establishment. The masses of the nation, as is acknowledged on all hands, are practical heathens, and, as such, a standing reproach against a National Church which has forgotten to preach the Gospel to:the poor. Its enemies are numerous and increasing, its friends are a minority in the nation. How long will it escape the doom of its sister Establishment in Ireland ? - As Catholics, all we have to say in its favour is of a negative character. It is better than political infidelity, but on the other hand it is worse, if by preserving the semblance of religion only stands in the way of the advance and deve lopment of Catholicism in England.—West minster Gazette. The New England agricultural society begin their fifth yearly exhibition at New Haven oa September 1.

It is impossible for English women not to !eel deeply interested in the questions at present agitated with regard to their position, privileges, and the new spheres opening to them, and to re flect thoughtfully on the probable bearing on Eng lish society. I believe a certain amount of danger lurks in the ideas now promulgated, and in the turn the so-called " woman movement" is taking. Is there as much modesty in dress, reserve and de- licacy in speech, and womanly dignity of manner since these agitations began for Woman's Rights, and are these womanly "ornaments" likely to be more diffused when English mothers and sisters scramble with men in the public walks of life, and hustle each other at the polls? So far as admitting women to some employments for which they are equally fitted as men, and when performed as well, should be paid for at the same rate, I heartily concur--such as telegraphy, photography, compositors' work, watch making, &c. But what I would oppose is the promiscuous admixture of men and women in public positions, such as universities, public offices, and, as has been more than hinted, seats in the Legislature! Disorder and immorality are sure to ensue if such an experiment is ever tried, and already it is apparent, from the neglect of some of the usages of our grandmothers, and the greater freedom from restraint, that Englishwomen do not take the same position as formerly in the estimation of the world, for high-toned morality. " Let all things be done decently and in order." Man has his sphere in the public walks of life, but woman's in fluence and sphere is, or should be, in the " home,' and every movement in opposition to this will be found in practice to be a mistake. Let woman be thoroughly educated to be the companion of her hus band—not a frivolous toy—heirs together of a glorious immortality, where there shall be neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female, but all one in Christ Jesus (Gal. iii. chap. 28 verse). If married, and with a family, the foundation of health of body and mind in her children, and the elevation and care of her household, are her clear and special work. If unmarried, women of education and leisure should devote themselves to the care and relief of the suffering or poor of their own sex, visiting them in their homes or in hospitals, and ministering to their wants. There are many laws relating to women which should be more equitably adjusted—such, for instance, as those affecting the property of married women when, unfortuna`ely, the marriage is an unhappy one; but, 1 contend, that it is even better that this tyranny should exis than the greater evil of women breaking through their bonds, and coming forward to struggle in public with man for their rights. The great so cial mission of woman is to elevate public manners, morals, opinions, and conversation ; to discoun tenance all levity of word or deed, and to shun all places of deubtful influence, such as the sensational plays, so fashionable of late. Let h.a- foster all that is beautiful, intellectual, refined, " using this world as not abusing it—always remembering that the fashion thereof passeth, mil is passing away." There is no prospect of a session of Congress in September though the new members from the South are persistent in thpir endeavours to secure one. The best friends of General Grant and the Republican party think it unwise, and that it would impair the success of the party in the coming elections. The Democratic party in the Southern States have ceased, for the present, their hostility to negro suffrage, and are now labouring earnestl y to secure the negro vote for that party, with a fair prospect of obtaining a large portion of their ballots. They have organized coloured Democra tic clubs, hold coloured Democratic mass meet ings, and have coloured orators to expound to the coloured masses the principles of the great Democratic party. So much for politics. The celebrated horse Dexter has beaten his famous time made at Buffalo, which was the fastest on re cord (2.17). Last Monday morning at the Fashion Course, Long Island, he made the extraordinary time of a mile in two minutes and fourteen seconds, and yesterday trotted one quarter of a mile in thirty seconds, equal to the rate of a mile in two minutes. Mr. Robert Bonner, the owner of this famous horse, neither allows his horses to trot for money or engage iu races, and keeps them ex clusively for his own satisfaction an I amuse ment. Mr. Doble, the trainer of Dexter, says the horse is now in "no trim" for great speed, and says he is confident the horse has ability to exceed even this unprecedented time. Quite an excitement has been created among cricketers, an d in base-ball circles by the announcement, per cable, of the intended visit of a s.lected eleven from the most celebrated cricketers in England, and great preparations are being made to give them a hearty reception. Mr. Burlingame and the Chinese Embassy hal a public reception at Fa,neuil-hall, Boston, yesterday, at noon. The hall was crowded, and the meeting was in every way a success. Governor Bullock and the Hon. Chas. Sumner made addresses, and in the evening a banquet was given to the Embassy by the City Government at the St. James Hotel, which was an elegant and interesting enter tainment. Since the destruction by fire of Bar num's Museum, New York has been without any place of that character, but in a few days Mr. George Wood, formerly of Wood's Theatre, will open an extensive museum, which will be worthy to succeed Mr. Barnum's ,old establishment. Mr. Wood's agents have been all over Europe, and no expense has been spared to make the collection as fine as possible. One of the greatest curio sities is a cable 85 feet long and 5 inches in circumference, manufactured out of the hair of decapitated Japanese criminals. In the theatre attached, the Royal English Opera Bouffe Troupe, composed of Misses Susan and Blanche Galton, Mrs. Susan Pyne Dalton, Mr. F. Whiffen, tenor, and Mr. Cox, baritone, will appear at the daily matinees. At the evening performances the Lydia Thompson Burlesque Troupe, composed of Miss Thompson, Miss Markham, Miss Harland, Miss Weber, and Mr. Harry Beckett, will appear n burlesque and other light entertainments. Mr. Michael Connolly is to be the musical director. No doubt amongst your readers there are many men full of energy, but without capital, who will hail with delight such a scheme as I have 'now the honour to lay before you. A Co operative Land Association has been formed, and a vast tract of rich agricultural land, in all 1,630,000 acres, is already secured at the head of Lake Superior, in Minnesota. It is proposed to divide this estate into farms of 100 acres each, for which a moderate price only would be charged, payable by easy instalments, extending over a series of years. This scheme is not by any means a speculation, all the offices (except secretary) being honorary. Abundant evidence can be adduced that these lands are well timbered with white and yellow pine, maple, cedar, and white oak ; that they produce on an average from 36 to 40 bushels of wheat per acre, the freight of which to market is 71d. per bushel. The population engaged in mining and other pursuits on Like Superior now numbers about 60,000, and will draw nearly their entire supplies from this district ; and breadstuff s, salt meats, cattle, &c., will find their best markets on the Lake, from whence there is direct communication with Quebec and Montreal. It is intended by the asso ciation that I shall shortly proceed to the land for the purpose of superintending the erection of saw and flour mills, and also a neat log-house, for the reception of each family on their farm. In early spring a steam-ship will be provided to convey the shareholders to their destination. Meetings will be I translate a few passages from a letter appearing in a scientific review called Les Hondes, edited at Paris by the Abbe Moignon,' referring to the washing and other machines of Mr. Bradford, already well known in the United Kingdom, who attended the Ukiversal Exposition held at Paris in 1867, and obtained a success commensurate with his merits, not only in carrying off all the medals awarded to such machines, but in attracting the special approval of the Emperor and Empress, and also iu the introduction of his washing machines into the French marine. During the past month Mr. Bradford has attended an Exposition at Stock holm with a similar result, carrying off the prizes, and had the honour of a special reception by the King and Queen of Sweden at the Palace of Stockholm. Not only are the wash ing machines of Mr. Bradford to be seen at his establishment, No. 1, Rue Caumartin, but under his protection various small but useful patents are finding their way into France. Ido not wish to anticipate the opinions of the writer (Dr. Sace) from whose letter I quote, but cannot help saying that it is to such men as Mr. Bradford (self-made men, too, by the way) that not only national progress, but the good understanding which sh9uld always intimately ally mighty coun tries, owes so large a debt. We understand that from 80 to 100 medals have been gained by this firm. Translation of an article published in Les Mundes, a Weekly Review of the Scienc3s, and their appli cation to Arts and Industry :- 111. Le Docteur Sace a Neqfchatel, Les Machines de Monage. Thanks to the Universal Exposition, mechanism has come to the aid of domestic uonomy ; but as its progress is notwithstanding still limited, I believe that I am rendering a real service to good housewives in making known to then the beautiful and excellent apparatus which they can purchase at a most advantageDus price at the establishment of Messrs. T. Bradford and Com pany, No 1, Rue Caumartin." _ _ The first machine, in point of importance, is that for washing linen, which, with its little barrel, hardly takes up more than a square yard of sur face. By the aid of this apparatus one woman alone can wash, and thoroughly wash too, the linen of a family of ten persons in the first little place available. The machine is simply a drum in wood or tole, revolving on its axle, which as the friction is caused by the linen itself, rinses and wrings it without wear ; it is then pressed between indiarubber cylinders, the gradual pressure of which permits the double folds to pass without cutting them, and the buttons without breaking. The machine, with all its accessories, costs about 25f., and possesses an English solidity. RAILWAY TRACK-LA YING MACHINE. In a recent article on the Union Pacific Railway we alluded to this machine, of which we now give a description from the San Francisco Bulletin:— The rear of the machine is a large platform car on low wheels, flanged to fit the rails. On this is built a high skeleton frame to hold the machinery and support the forward frame. From this frame and rear car projects another heavy frame, as lJng as an ordinary freight car, and projecting like a nose. One end of this nose is attached by hinges to the solid frame, and the other rests on a low platform truck, in form and shape like a railroad four wheeled hand truck. The outline of the machine, then, is that of the centre and one end of a wooden truss bridge, the rear and floor having been cut away. In the centre of the main platform is an engine and boiler of twenty to thirty horse-power— we forget the exact figure. This works the whole apparatus. First it propels the car by making drivers of the main wheels ; next it conveys power at the same speed to an endless chain running around the concave wheels of the forward truck. The object of these endless chains is to supply an endless track over the loose ties as they are thrown to the ground, and before they have received the iron. The chain rails answer the do'ible purpose of sustaining the truck and giving it an eve❑ tram way to run over, and of gripping the ties rnd press- ing them somewhat into the loose soil. On the top of the square frame of the main car is a platform for the pilot. Standing there he can see the stakes ahead and keep the machine true to its direction should any irregularity in the road make it diverge right and left. In making a curve he can give the exact direction to the truck which will correspond with the radius of the curves given him by the civil engineer of the road. When he reaches the point where the engineer's stake shows a change of gradient he can depress or raise the forward frame to suit the change if neces sary. We will go back some distance and ap proach the machine with the supply car, and describe the mode of handling rails, ties, and chair. At the nearest siding to the place where the track layer is at work a number of freight ears are sta tioned, each loaded with 21 rails, 120 tics, and a corresponding number of chairs in this form : 4 iron rollers, 3 feet long, are laid transversely on each side of the cars ; on each set of rollers 12 rails are laid ; across these piles of rails 120 sleepers are stacked. Near the front of each car 24 chairs on wire rings are thrown on the top of the ties. The engine detailed to wait on the construction party detaches three cars and runs them before it down the level to the track-layer. In the rear of the track-layer, and attached to it, are three empty platform cars. When the supply train touches the construction train a stout rope attached to a drum at the top of the track-layer frame is carried aft to the rear of the first load of rails and ties. The drum is set in motion and guided by a touch of a mallet from the men, the whole mass of rails, ties, and chairs, rolls from car to car until it reaches the one next the track-layer. The next and the next loads are transferred in the same manner to their respective cars, and the supply train runs back to the sliding spoken of, shunts the empty cars, takes up another load, and so on. Four men belonging to the track-layer mount the first platform; each seizes a tic and throws it longitudinally into a low trough at the back of the track-layer. In this trough is a stout endless chain, which takes hold of the tie and carries it up the back and over the whole machine, and shoots it out in front. As it leaves the trough a stout fellow seizes it, twists it round, and throws it transversely on to a small level platform in front of him. On each side of that platform stands a man who walks along the graded road as the machine travels. As soon as a tic touches the platform each one seizes an end and lifts and drops it on to the ground into the place marked for it by the two guiding cords which the surveyor's man has placed for them. Four men are engaged in throwing ties into the trough, and, of course, when the fore part of the car is cleared they have to travel some dis tance to carry each tie to the trough. But practically the endless chain is carrying a continuous line of ties when the machine is working. One man receives them all when the chain discharges them in front, and has so received every tie that has passed through the machine. From the Vallejo terminus over the hill, through the tunnel, and across marsh and prairie, one stout young labourer, Charles Zimmerman by name, has caught, lifted, and turned every tie that has been laid on the road, and he is proud of it. his great ambition is to handle every tie between Vallejo and Sacramento. It is an arduous task. Railroad men know how many ties it takes to lay three-quarters of a mile of a road, a day's work often done by the machine, and these particular ties vary in weight from -751bs. to 1201b5., according to seasoning, and some of them 1401bs. and 1501bs. Sharp eyes as well as stout muscles are needed, for the endless chain delivers them fast, and a moment's hesitation might cause a broken thigh ; as it is, Zimmerman's fingers get trapped now and then. We may say, however, here that not a single accident to life, limb, or joint has occurred. One man's foot was hurt se much as to lay him up for three weeks, and one had his fingers badly squeezed ; but both recovered and went back to work. Yet to stand by the machine when working, and see men mixed up with heavy material such as rails and ties, running forward literally at railroad speed, gives it the appearance of a very dangerous employment for those con cerned. When the ties are once thrown to the ground in front of the track-layer they are done with ; the machine grips them. We will, therefore, go back to the rails and describe the method of handling them. When the four men on the freight truck next the engine have thrown off the last tie the whole concern stops. We timed one of these stoppages, and we will describe what took place in two minutes and twenty seconds--the time which elapsed between the stoppage of the machine and the next stage of the work, when none of the men knew there was any particular reason for hurry ing. Two of the four men pick up iron levers from the rear of the track-layer—its platform is the rest ing place for all tools that are temporarily laid out of hand—and each goes to the rear end of one of the piles of twelve rails on rollers ; the other takes a sledge and guides the rollers. The lever start s the whole body of iron at once ; the mass rung slowly, until by the dropping of the forward roller over the end of the car the weight tips for ward and comes upon a roller fixed upon an arm projecting from the side of the track-layer, and, being on a decline, it quickens its pace. The men then get out of the way in front, but hang on the load from behind to retard its speed. It finally touches a second roller projecting from another arm, and comes chock against a block of wood built out to stop it. This work is done on both sides of the machine simultaneously, and, as we said, the work takes two minutes and twenty seconds. There are twelve rails then on each side of the machine, which may •le said to be in stock, and as quickly as the dropped rollers can be picked up from between the rails where they have fallen, and the load of rails, ties, chairs on the second car can be transferred to the first by the rope :attached to the dram, as already described, the apparatus is ready to start for another heat of 12 rails long. On each side of the mail; car are two men, one at each end of the frame ; they ride on a hanging platform on the side of the car. Their duty is to clip one rail out of the twelve resting on the stock roller, and place it on a couple of small rollers nearer the machine. Directly it rests on these live pulleys, or rollers it is carried forward by steam power or its own weight to the next division of the machine, the overhanging nose, then it comes to a stoppage again. Two other men then seize it, and place clips, attached to short tackling, fixed over head to the frame. While they are doing this they stand on an overhanging portion of the platform, and at the same time a third man is fixing a chair on the forward end of the rail. They lower the rail to its place against the last chair. The man stationed at the forward end holds on to the fall of his pulley, after the one in the rear has let go, and the latter steps off the platform, fits it by hand, and holds what is technically called a shin—a thin plate of metal five inches long, one and one-eighth inches wide, and three-eighths of an inch thick, which he places between the butts of the rails and holds there until the forward man—the one who put the chair on the rail before it was lowered — has struck it home with his sledge. The object of the shin is to place some substance which, while hard enough to steady the rail, will yet yield before the pressure caused by the elongation of the metal by heat. One or two seconds after the shins are in their places the forward main wheel of the track layer is on them, and the work of the machine on that pair of rails is over. While the machine is running forward at a regular, pace, the next rail is being hooked up by the clips attached to the pullies, and the work. goes onat a steady pace. The time taken to lay a rail, as may be well supposed, is less by one half than it will take the reader to peruse the above. One of the advantages and disadvantage 4 of the machine is that while, the engine is working no man engaged in track-laying or discharging ties has time to turn his head to sneeze with safety. Besides the men we have named there is apilut who steers, and . engine driver and a fireman—in all twenty men. The following is a recapitulation of the crew 1; engine driver, 1; fireman, 1 ; four men on freight truck discharging ties, 4 ; two men on each side handling rails, 4 ; two men on each side at pullies, 4 ; one man on each side placing one chairs and driving rails home, 2 ; one man receiving tics in front, 1 ; one man on each side laying ties on road, 2; total, 20. Twenty is the number on the ship's articles, the patentee or his partner, Mr. Whiteside, being generally around but not engaged in manual labour. We should have said that when a stoppage is made to run iron forward the tie-layers go back to the construction train tracks to assist. The Dieu who put the chairs on take the opportunity to carry fresh supplies forward from the rear of the track-layer. The average work of the machine, when running, since the first few days, during which the men had to be drilled to quarters, has been from two-thirds to three-quarters of a mile. had the grading been done, the bridges built and the supplies all ready, ,it would have made the trip from Vallejo to Sacramento in ten or eleven weeks. It is proposed, when next engaged , to build freight cars on purpose for the work, with rollers affixed to them, and by placing guides for the hauling rope over the heads of the tie trans porting party, reduce the stoppages to the mini mum ; just the time necessary to run the comple ment of rails from the last car to the machine , two minutes and forty seconds, as we have said. Tiede r these circumstances, Mr. Whiteside says h e c ould lay with his present force one mile a day, bet probably the tension of the men occupying s ole° of the most arduous posts would be very seve re. Behind the track layer is a party of spik ers, ten in number, and it is as much as they Can do to keep pace with the machine. Of c ourse the construction train has to pass over the rails before a spike is driven. As soon as the chair t o each • can be got at, a couple of spikes are driven into chair, and a couple midway in the rail to stead/ Be iron and prevent the metal being displfteecl• ht hind the spikers came a gang of twenty-etvgo h Chinese, with two or three white oversee the ties were engaged in tamping, that is beddieg fine Soil where they are hollow, and filling with ilroad around them.
