Vocal Entertainment at Eight. The Conference reasembled in terday, shortly after ten o'clock, again a good attendance—Mr. W. E. Earl De Grey and Ripon and many mem.. meat and others were again present. The CHAIRMAN said the conference yesterday came to the conclusion that there should be schools provided by compulsion, and to-day they were to discuss the question whether there should be compulsory attend ance. Compulsion was yesterday said by one s p ea k e r to be nn-English ; but for years past we had had that compulsion indirectly in operation in this country by the action of the Factory Act, and he (Mr. Forster), as an employer under the Factory Act, could speak to its excel lent working. It was a misfortune that when the Factory Act was passed care was not taken to make the schools under it good schools. (Hear, hear.) Had they been made good schools we should at this moment have had a state of edu cation in the factory districts which would have been so surprising that it would probably have led to the extension of good schools long ago all over the kingdom. (Hear, hear.) The factory inspectors could visit schools. It was true they were not required t 3 examine the children, L t to test the means of the school, and all they then did was to give or refuse a certificate. The compulsory clauses of the Factory Act were followed in the matter of the Col lieries Act, but he thought the Collieries Act might well be amended. Under that Act the education of the child ceased at the age of 12, and under certain conditions at 10. This should not be. It was too early an age to totally take a child from school, and it should be altered. By the legislation of last year the benefits of the Factory Act were extended to almost every place in which fifty persons were employed ; also, by the Workshops Act of last year every place where five persons were employed together was to be dealt with. This Act came into operation on the Ist inst., but he thought that in its working it would be shewn to require amendment. In fact, he could not see how it could be worked as it should be unless there were inspec tors appointed under it, as under the Factory Act. Under the Workshops Act, as under the Factory Act, the age was to be 13 when they should cease going to school. But this Act did not apply to the agricultural districts, and any condition of things which left the children of the agricul tural labourers in a worse condition than those of their brother workmen in towns was bad and unsatisfactory. Now, in the towns there was a large number of children who were not eitl.er at work or school ; and surely, if they were to furc, the attendance at school of those who were at work, they ought to compel those to go to school who were not at work, and not treat them more leniently. Under the Industrial Schools Act—schools of which there were too few— any person may take a child or children found begging, receiving alms, or leading the life of vagrants without any visible means of subsistence, before the magistrates, and they have power to send such child or children to an industrial school for a certain time ; but in the Industrial Schools Act there was no provision to compel the erection of industrial schools. However, he (Mr. Forster) hoped that the Act they proposed would meet all that. (Hear, hear.) Then there was an Act called Denison's Act, which gives power to boards of guardians to send the children of those who receive out door relief to schools of which they might approve, and they had power to pay for the education of such children out of the rates. That was a very excellent provision, and should often be acted on. Yesterday the conference fastened on the districts and places the necessity of pro viding schools ; but of what use would be those schools if they had no scholars in them? They must take care to have good schools, or they would be of no use whatever. Indeed, in Manchester he believed the fact of the small attendances at school was mainly owing to the parents having no belief in the goodness of the school ; and they must, whatever they did, have good schools. The Rev. H. SANDFORD, her Majesty's inspector of schools, said that in the textile trades there were 70,000 children at schools under the half-time system ; while in the Pottery district under their Act there were 3,000 children attending school on the half-time system ; and by the Acts of last session 12,000 more children under 13 would at once be brought within their operation, so that in the whole we should have at school compulsorily 87,000 children.

THE LOSS OF 7HE AMSTERDAM 87EAMER. re el 10 An official inquiry into the circumstances attend ing the total loss of the steamship Amsterdam upon Montauk Point, the eastern extreme of Long Island, on the coast of America, has been held at Leith by two local magistrates, who have reported as follows :—" The Amsterdam was an iron screw steamer, built at Hepburn in 1866, and registered at this port in the same year. Her gross tonnage was 639 tons, and her registered tonnage 506, pro pelled by two engines of the combined power of 130 horses. She was owned by Mr. Donald M'Gregor and others, of Leith, and was =der the command of Mr. John Gibson, who holds a certi ficate of competency dated 1859. Her crew con sisted of twenty-three hands, and she appears to have been well found and equipped. The Amster '"dam left South Shields in August - last, on a voyage to Malaga, laden witi, coke. At that port she took in a cargo of 500 'tons of fruit and 100 tons of lead, and sailed thence on the 23d September, bound to New York. During the voy age across the Atlantic the vessel experienced some adverse occurrences. On the 26th the coals in the bunkers took fire. After strenuous exertions for a period of five hours it was extinguished, not, how ever, without such loss of fuel as rendered it neces sary to put into Fayal for supplies. Shortly after leaving Fayal she encountered a continuance of gales and head winds. On the 7th October the engineer having reported only four days' coal remaining, it became, in the opinion of the master, requisite to burn every available spar, bridge deck, lower deck, saloon fittings, ladders, hatches, and, in fact, everything that could be converted into fuel, to enable them to reach Halifax. Their con dition was such that they burnt the tripod or pole of their standard compass, having then only one compass, and that a binnacle one, to direct their course. This was a most imprudent and an inexcusable act. On the 14th they reached Beaver Island, in Nova Scotia, when they took in 80 tons of coals, and on the 18th proceeded on their voyage. At noon, on the 20th of October, they made the Nantucket lightship, bearing N.W. by N. at a distance of five miles. From this position a course was shaped W.. half S. for New York. At 8 p.m. a dense fog settled down on the ship, so much so that, standing aft, they could not see beyond the stern of the ship. Full speed was still continued, and without change, until the ship grounded. In our opinion the master was culpable in a very extreme degree in running at full speed in the dense fog described by all the wit nesses. And, having only one compass to rely upon, it became especially necessary to ascertain his posi tion by occasional casts of the lead. The soundings laid down in the chart that he used would have, had he adopted that precaution, given him timely and. distinct warning of his danger. We therefore consider the Amsterdam was lost by the default of her master, and, with the concurrence of our nautical assessors, decide on suspending his certi ficate for twelve calendar months. The evidence and the master's certificate are forwarded herewith." MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1859), 11.

CriANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.--A - Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles, Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their "BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the erreme transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE " and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell ; their good old-fashioned '• BELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dripping of grease when cared. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE D GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drops of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be used. EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY.— Empowered by Special Act of Parliament.

CONTRACT DEPARTMENT, ADMIRALTY, SOMERSET HOUSE, JAN. 1, 1868. THE COMMISSIONERS for executing the Office of Lord High Admiral of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland do hereby Give Notice that on Tuesday, the 21st instant, at two o'clock, they will be ready to treat with such persons as may be willing to CONTRACT for supplying and delivering into store at her Majesty's dockyards at Chatham and Devonport 300 tons cf ITALIAN HEMP. A distribution of the hemp, and a form of the Tender and conditions of contract, may be seen in the lobby of the Storekeeper-General's Department, Admiralty, Somer set House. No Tender will be received after two o'clock on the day of treaty, nor will any be noticed unless the party attends, or an agent for him, duly authorised in writing. Every Tender must be addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, and bear, in the left hand corner, the words " Tender for Italian Hemp," and must also be delivered at the Department of the Storekeeper-General, Admiralty, Somerset House. Mr. BENJAMIN ARMITAGE (Manchester) said, althouga lle did not appear there as the representative of the owners and occupiers of factories, still he must say that the Factory Act had been on the whole very beneficial to both the operatives and their employers. Professor JACK (Owen's College) argued that the educk tion which was given under the Colleries Act was next to worthless, and mentioned a case where he had seen children get a certificate as to their reading and writing after having learnt it for six weeks. (Laughter.) The fault was in the Act, which said the certificate should be given by a com petent schoolmaster, but failed to say what the qualifica' tions of the competent master were to be. This case was within his own experience. Earl DE GItEY said, as he understood the principal clauses in the Factory Act with regard to education, education and employment were given together. Ile was not personally so much enamoured of compulsion as seemed to be the majority of the meeting, but he never theless thought that the same compulsion should be applied to the agricultural districts as to the factory hands. He would in fact apply the same stringent action to the agri cultural children as to the factory children ; but it would, as had been said, be atterly impossible for the half-time system to be enforced on them as in the factory districts. The principle which, he thought, 'Might perhaps be applied to agricultural children was that of the Printworks Act, ao the one most adaptable to their case. It was enacted that children should be at school a certain number of days in the year, to be arranged upon between the parents and the employers. He did not think with Mr. Clay on the sub ject of certificates as to knowledge, but preferred certifi cates that would shew how many days they had attended school, rather than the amount of education they had received. ei, Lrd ►ne (comer 31 AN f e 'Ey pure' p an d P .

Poole and Tyler, the former a mason, and the latter a builder in Westminster, were summoned by Mr. J. Tolley, district surveyor, for an offence under the Metropolitan Building Act. Mr. Philbrick, barrister, represented the Board of Works; and Mr. Edward Vaughan Richards nominally appeared for the defendants, but in reality for the dean and chapter of Westminster. Mr. Philbrick, in opening the case, stated that the summonses were taken out by Mr. Tolley, eiarging, the defendants that they did do certain work within the district of St. Margaret's and the Close of St. Peter's, Westminster, without giving due notice to the district surveyor, as required by the 38th chapter, section 132, of the 18 and 19 Vie. toria. The facts were not in dispute, but the ques tion that would be raised was whether the abbey was a royal palace or place intended for the use and service of the Sovereign. If so, it would be ex empted under the Act of Parliament. A pipe for heating pa, i of the Abbey had been placed too close to the roof of the Jerusalem Chamber, and as the venerable pile was considered to be endangered by it, as well as for the inte rests of justice, these proceedings were commenced two or three months ago, and fully argued yester day. Mr. Richards, in a most learned and elaborate address, said the first thing to be considered was whether Westminster Abbey was a Royal palace or place employed for her Majesty's use and service ; he should endeavour as briefly as possible to show that it was, and although the Royal charter of Queen Elizabeth would be quoted as evidence against his argument, still he held that it was a Royal palace ; and, firstly, referred to the Gazette of April 13, 1838, in which in the Royal proclama tion the coronation is appointed to be held in " our Palace of Westminster." In the time of Edward the Confessor the palace of Westminster and the Royal chapel were closely adjacent, as illustrated in a piece of the famous tapestry called the Bayeaux tapes try, a drawing of which was now produced, in which a man is represented standing on the roof of the chapel, holding on by the weathercock of the chapel and the tower of the palace. Further, he referred to a work lately published by the Rev. Dean Stan ley, entitled "Memorials of Westminster Abbey," in which that learned man said—" The monastery and church of Westminster were, as we have seen, enclosed within the precincts of the Palace of West minster as completely as the Abbey of Holyrood and the convent of the Escurial were united with those palaces of the Scottish and Spanish sovereigns. The abbey was, in fact, a royal chapel on a gigan tic scale. The King had a private entrance to it from the south transept, almost directly from the Confessor's Hall. Even to this day, in official lan guage, the coronations are said to take place in our Palace of Westminster, though the Sovereign never sets foot strictly in the palace so called ; the whole ceremony is confined to the abbey, which for the time passes entirely into possession of the crown and its officers." He then read an extract from the same work, respecting the Bayeaux tapestry. Passing over the events of the middle ages and the charter of Queen E:izabeth, which he admitted dissolved monasteries and made Westminster Abbey subject to the control of an abbot and 12 prebends, he came to our own times when the abbey had been taken possession of by the Crown for the purposes of coronations, funerals, and musical festivals ; at the coronation of Queen Victoria divine ser vice ceased, prodigious galleries were built, and the Abbey was under the control of the Earl Marshal ; at the coronation of William IV. it was the same ; and at the coronation of George IV. there was a grand banquet besides, and a champion rode in. Not only was the Abbey abso lutely taken out of the hands of the dean and chapter, but he would show that the Duke of Nor folk, Earl Marshal, had declined to allow the dean and chapter, their families and friends, seats to witness the ceremony of coronation. He then read extracts from the Heraldry books concerning the Handel festivals ; the first held by King George 111. and Queen Charlotte in 1761, and the second held in 1834 by King William IV. and Queen Ade laide, and they went on to the coronations, reading the warrants of the earls marshal to receive the keys of the abbey from the dean and chapter. It also appeared that every king, with the exception of Edward V., had been crowned in the abbey ; and Richard I. was crowned there the second time ; indeed, the dean and chapter had so little power in the matter that when it was advertised that refreshments would be provided on the occa sion of the coronation of Queen Victoria, the dean and chapter presented a humble pe tion to the earl marshal, praying that the sacred edifice should not be made a bauquetting hall ; and he explained that it was only a cold col lation, for those who would be naturally fatigued during the long ceremony; the Crown had even taken away the organ, to set up a new one at the coronation. Again, in May, 1838, the abbey having been given up to the earl marshal, a memorial was prepared and sent by the dean and chapter, pray ing that accommodation might be afforded for the family and friends of the dean and chapter, as on the two previous coronations the accommodation had been declined ; and the answer from the earl marshal, dignified, yet polite, explained that it was not in his power to accede to the request of the memorialists, and explained that whatever might have been the usages of olden times, there had been so many fresh creations since the acces sion of George the Third that there was not sufficient accommodation for the peers and their families, or even for the friends of the earl marshal himself. In 1834, at the Handel Festival, Sir George Smart, the King's organist, was master of the ceremonies, and the public were entirely excluded as long as the crown thought fit ; in fact, the dean and chapter never had raised the question, or refused to acknowledge the royal pre rogative, because they could not resist the regal power. Respecting the Handel Festival of 1761, there was no authentic record of what took place, but no doubt the abbey was then entirely in the possession of the Crown ; and it was his opinion that if the Crown chose to hold a weekly sacred concert there it could, although such an idea was one that needed very little discussion. Again, with regard to royal funerals, the Crown had the right to repair the tombs in the royal chapels ; and from the " Collectanea Typographica et Geographica," it appeared that after the Restoration, in 1661, a royal order commanded the Dean an d Chapter forthwith to exhume the bodies of the regicides and other persons buried in Henry Vll.'s Chapel, and bury them in the church yard adjoining ; and among the long list of persons so ordered to be exhumed were the names of Eliza- beth Cromwell, Bradshaw, &c. Further, the royal jewels were kept in the Jerusalem Chamber ; and if he was not mistaken, there was a record in the fourteenth century of a robbery at the abbey, whereon the abbot and his monks were put to prison ; this, no doubt, put his successor on the alert, and for the future the jewels were kept in safe custody at the Tower of Loudon ; and up to the present time, on the night before the coronation they were kept in the Jerusalem Chamber, in the chirge of a beef-eater; the Jerusalem Chamber communicat ing with the abbey by a door. Then, in support of his argument, there was one of the strongest proofs yet to come, and that was respecting the Pix Chamber, where the standard coins and measures of the realm were kept, and of that chamber the dean and chapter never had the key, but it was in the safe custody of an officer of her Majesty's Treasury. Finally, he quoted the case of " Say v. Hammond," in which it was held that a place where the arms of the militia were kept was Captain Rogers, of the Braganza, from Oporto, which arrived in the Mersey on Tuesday night, supplies the following report of the wreck of the Euphrates off Holyhead :—" January 14, at 3.30 p.m., steering N.E. by E. E. for the South Stack, blowing strong from the W.S.W. with a heavy sea, observed a barque bearing east, running up Channel under reefed foresail, and thinking something was the matter with her by. the way she was steering about, I put my helm aport and ran down to her within two miles, but seeing no signals flying, I again kept my ship on her course, when at 4.10 p.m., being nearly abreast of her, I saw her ensign run up half-mast, union down. I immediately kept away for her, when the ensign was hauled down, and on getting alongside of her within speaking distance I found she was called the Euphrates. The captain then informed me that she was waterlogged, and asked me to tow him. I told him to give me his rope, but he re fused to do so until he asked me what I would charge for the tow. I told him I could not make any bargain with him, but would tow him into Holyhead, then about 12 miles distant. The ships began to separate. I put my helm astarboard to round to, when he again hoisted his ensign, union down, and at the same time put his helm aport, bringing his ship's beam to the sea, when she imme diately began to settle down fore head. Before I could get my boats out she was over, and the cap tain, his wife, and crew were on the outside of her port quarter. I had then got my largest boat in the water, and manned, and they pulled to the wreck, but before they could get that far a sea swept them all into the water. I then got another boat out and kept my ship as close to the wreck as possible to avoid danger, and night setting in I lost sight of the wreck, and also my own boat. I then steamed as close to the place of the accident as possible, when I fell in with my own boat, who told me they were drifting fast from the wreck, they not being able to pull against the sea ; they said they had been up to the ship but had not been able to save any one. I then again steamed in the direction of the wreck, when I passed two men clinging to some spars, but owing to the sea that was running I could not get hold of them. I kept as close to the spot as I could to see if I could save any of them, but it was so dark, and the sea breaking so that I could not distinguish or hear anything of them. They must have all gone down or I should have heard some of them crying, as I found I was within 200 yards of the wreck, bottom up, for the sea was breaking very heavily over her. I then picked my own boat and crew up, and stopped until 6.30 p.m., when, seeing that I could not do anything more, and being fully assured that all must have gone down, as it was impossib le for them to live in the sea that was running, I then put my ship on her course again.

A Swiss EXECUTION. —The man Ileli Freymoud, con demned to death at Moudon, c an t on dwell; Vo aud, in Z em S n w ti ftzerland, for poisoning his wife and at tempting a similar crime on a young man betrothed to his sister-in-law, whom he wished to marry, has just under gone the extreme penalty of the law. Neither the guillo tine nor the gibbet is used in Switzerland, the mode of execution being that of decapitation with the sword. The criminal is firmly bound, blindfolded, and his hands tied behind him, seated on a chair, which is fixed on an ele vated platform. The assistant executioner then holds back the head by the hair, while his principal, seizing a two-handed sword, cuts through the neck with extra ordinary dexterity by a single blow. On t'm present occa sion about 12,000 persons were present. The condemned man slept well during the preceding night. At ten o'clock ho drank two glasses of wine, and then set out for the place of execution, preceded by the headsman, dressed in scarlet and wearing a cocked hat. The criminal walked firmly, and on reaching the foot of the scaffold embraced the chaplain and the gendarmes. The preparations lasted about five minutes ; the executioner then took up his sword, a hissing noise was hoard as it cleaved the air, and the head was severed from the body. The Chaplain Benoit then de livered a short address while the body was being unbound and covered with a black cloth. Mr. MUNDELLA (Nottingham), as a large employer of labour under the Factory Act, must confess that the half time system was doing little or nothing at all for the children, and as a proof he might mention that in his experience he had found only 41 per cent. of the factory children who could write tolerably well. Mr. SEWELL, inspector of schools, said he was in favour of children in agricultural districts spending a certain num ber of days at school either in weeks or months, to the number of 200 days. - The Right Hon. H. A. BRUCE, M.P., having referred to some remarks that bad been made by previous speakers, s►nd explained certain clauses in the Industrial Schools Bill, &c., the conference adjourned for luncheon. On reassembling, The CHAIRMAN said the next point for consideration was, " 3. Is it desirable to extend the principle of com pulsory school attendance beyond these measures? 4. Means by which such compulsory attendance should be enforced. 5. Compulsory clauses proposed to be intro duced by Mr. Bazley considered." Mr. Bazley, the Von. Archdeacon Sandford, Professor Christie (Owen's College), and the Rev. Canon Toole (Manchester) were in favour of compulsory attendance. The Right Hon. H. A. BRUCE then addressed a few words to the meeting, and said ; If compulsion was resorted to, they would have to compel one-half of the children in the country to go to school. They must not raise opposition to their measure by asking for too much. They must proceed progressively. Compulsion was their last step, as it was the best, and some day it would be agreed to as was now wished. Mr. A. HERBERT moved, and Mr. SIMONS seconded, another amendment, which was withdrawn on the sugges- Con, by Mr. J. T. HIBBERT, M.P., that the following form of resolution would meet the views of all parties:— " That the Education Bill Committee be requested, in conjunction with Mr. Bazley, to prepare such clauses as they may consider practicable to enforce the attendance at school of neglected children, and to request him to give notice, before any education bill brought into Parliament comes to a second reading, that he will introduce such clauses in committee." This was passed unanimously. Mr. BRUCE, in response to a vote of thanks, expressed a hope that when the members of the conference returned to their respective localities they would be induced by what they had heard to form local committees in support of this movement, and he could promise them, on the part of Mr. Francis Taylor (hon, secretary) and the Manchester com mittee, every possible assistance. The conference then terminated. The Leominster butchers go weekly to Hereford and sell prime meat 25 per cent. cheaper than the Here ford butchers. ABYSSINIA.—We have received news to the eftect that the health and spirits of the expeditionary force are alike excellent. Hospital accommodation will be provided at the rate of 7 per cent. for the British part of the force, disposed as three divisional field hospitals, and separate tents for regiments and field batteries, &c., proceeding on the march. The largest central depot hospital will pro bably be at Senafe, which appears to possess a healthy climate, and to be the most convenient position for con centrating the sick coming down from the front. In our opinion an hospital of this kind will be preferable in every way to employing iron steamers as stationary hospital slips in the Red Sea. The ration is said to be of good quality. It consists of 11b. of bread or 1 Ib. of flour, of ghee, rice, 12oz. of potatoes, with onions, salt, sugar, tea, and au allowance of rum. The meat will be fresh when procurable, and preserved (in preference to salt) when not. Every soldier is to have a pair of leathern gaiters, and is to be supplied with a waterproof to place on the earth or floor of his tent. The sanitary and medical arrangements so far appear to have been of a very satisfactory nature. Lancet. I d L 0 ......... --......" re of Novr L, the field, 11-1 of the icca .
