It is true that there have been candlesticks, with candles, on the Lord's table during a long period in many cathedrals and collegiate churches and chapels, and also in the chapels of some colleges, and of some royal and episcopal residences, but the instances that have been adduced to prove that candles have been lighted as accessories to the Holy Communion are few and much contested. .11 iu the 310S 0 tiFO• the card• ONDON AND NORTH. - WESTERN RAILWAY.

" With regard to parish churches, whatever evidence there may be as to candlesticks with candles being on the Lord's table, no sufficient evidence has been adduced before us to prove that at any time during the last three centuries lighted candles have been used in any of these churches as accessories to the celebration of the Holy Communion until within about the last twenty-five years. "The use of incense in the public services of the Church during the present century is very recent, and the instances of its introduction very rare ; and so far as we have any evidence before us, it is at variance with the Church's usage for 300 years. •iday ad even bble• ding MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1859), 14.

Three quarters of a The County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill has passed through the ordeal of committee. The bill, as amend.ed, repeals certain Acts and parts of Acts which give jurisdiction to justices, in Admiralty cases, and such as reserve to superior courts the trial of certain causes. In lieu thereof, power is given to auy county court to try -- a s to any claim for salvage, any Admiralty cause in which the value of the property saved does not exceed one thousand pounds, or in which the amount claimed does not exceed three hundred pounds, as to any claim for towage, necessaries, or wages—any cause in which the amount claimed does not exceed one hundred and fifty pounds ; as to any claim for damages to cargo or by collision—any cause in which the amount does not exceed three hundred pounds,; and any case—no matter what amount' -be in question—in which the' parties agree to lay their case before the county court. No jurisdictien is given in prize cases or such like matters. Powers are given to the Crown by Orders in Council, to vary courts and districts. The Court of Admiralty may transfer a case pending in a county court either to itself or to another court. Any person taking proceedings in the Admiralty Court who might, without agreement, have taken them in the county court, may not be entitled to costs. The county court judge may be assisted by nautical assessors, whom he may summon to his assistance. Provisions are made for the judge's vaca tion, for the appointment, remuneration, attendance, and removal of assessors, &c. It provides also that an agree ment made before the county court trial not to appeal shall be valid. From the Admiralty Court there is no appeal except to the Queen in Council. THE PUBLIC HEALTH: The following is the weekly return by the Registrar. General of births and deaths in London and in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom : General Register Office, Somerset House, April 27. In the week that ended on Saturday, April 25, 4,758 births and 2,975 deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 24 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 23 per 1,000 in London, 29 in Edinburgh, and 29 in Dublin ; 23 in Bristol, 19 in Birmingham, 24 in Liverpool, 26 in Man chester, 30 in Salford, 24 in Sheffield, 25 in Bradford, 23 in Leeds, 15 in Hull, 25 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 30 in Glasgow. In London the births of 1,200 boys and 1,107 girls, in all 2,307 children, were registered in the week. In the com- - sponding weeks of ten years, 1858-67, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,168. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,378. It was the seventeenth week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,431. The deaths in the present return aro less by 53 than the estimated amount, and less by 161 'than the number recorded in the preceding week. The annual rate of mortality was 23 per 1,000 in West London, 19 in North London, 27 in Central London, 24 in East' London, and 24 in South London. The deaths from fever were at the annual rate on 10,000 living of 10 in West London, 1 in North London, 12 in Central London, sin East London, and 11 in South London. In cal culatiag these result] the deaths in the London Fever roviwt have - been referrel to the districts from which the patients were brought. One hundred and sixty-five deaths occurred from plithisis, 167 from bronchitis, 68 from pneumonia, 70 from diseases of the heart, and 190 from diseases of the brain and nervous system. _ _ At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29'423in. The meal temperature of the air in the week was 50'2 deg., which is 3 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determin,d by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day tempera ture was 63'3 deg., on Tuesday, the 21st of April. The lowest night temperature was 41 . 7 deg., on Sunday, the 10th of April. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 221 deg. A letter from Egypt announces that the Viceroy had arrived at the Palace of Guise from Upper Egypt, and that he immediately gave orders for the construction of a railway along the fresh-water canal between Zagarig and Suez, with an injunction to have it finished in four months. The journals of St. Petersburg state that the Emperor of Russia, instead of going to Warsaw this sufn mer, will make an excursion in Finland in the month of June. In August he will proceed to the camp of Krasnoe Selo, where his Majesty will receive several visitors of distinction, and among others Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia. General Fleury's visit to this country is said to have no political significance. It had been rumoured that he was seeking to bring about a Russian alliance including England and France, but this is now denied. The Paraguayans give a very different account of the recent operations of the war from that published by the Brazilians. The first say that the Brazilian ironclads which passed Humana during the night of February 19 have been held in check by the batteries of the new Para guayan fortress Establecimiento. A reconnaissance made by the allies on March 22 was fatal to them, and cost them 600 Argentines and a large number of Brazilians. Marshal Lopez continues to concentrate his forces on his southern lines. In one point this account almost agrees with the other, for it states that " it may enter into his plans even to evacuate Curupaity." The Brazilian account said that this place had been evacuated. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, which has been so energetic on public questions lately, has now taken up the subject of the Government and, the Telegraphs. Simply, the chamber approves the bill now before Parlia ment, and the points upon which the members disagree are matters of detail. The rate for short messages formed a subject for sharp contention at the last meeting. A shilling was admitted on all hands to be too high. One speaker suggested 21d. per twenty words, another 5d., a third 6d., and so on. The merit of the V . ,d. rate was its cheapness, and the 5,1. rate would allow of interchange be tween the French and English Governments. Finally, how ever, a resolution was adopted that 6d. would be a fitting uni form rate for twenty words exclusive of the address. Then arose the broad question whether or not the telegraphs should be worked as sources of profit, or to the public advantage. The chamber replied, " Public advantage," apparently overlooking the fact that it might be to the public advantage that the telegraphs should be used as sources of profit. But the suggestion embodied in the resolution, that the rates should be reduced as often as practicable, sufficiently exp'ains that the chamber did not think it would be. The late Mr. Ricardo —whose conduct was lately criti cised by the lion. Robert Grimston, for having addressed a letter to the Government without first consulting the board of the Electric Telegraph Company, his colleagues— has found a defender in Mr. William Burchell. Mr. Bur chell says that it had never occurred to Mr. Ricardo, while on the said board, that the Government might take the telegraphs in hand. It was suggested to him after he had resigned his position, by Mr. Burchell himself, who ad vised him to write the paper in question. Besides, if Mr. Ricardo had consulted the directors, it would have looked to the Government as a distinct offer from the companies, Which, under present circumstances, it certainly is not. With regard to "depriving the shareholders of the fruit of their enterprise," the paper suggested nothing of the sort. It laid down that the shareholders should be paid rather over than under the mark. 'OLUNTARYISM AT MANCHESTER. —An effort is now being made to raise funds for the pur p o se of building Independent chapels and schools throug hout the kingdioarr. , and a few evenings since a meeti n g took place f in a i‘ chester in connection with this m ovement. did h mu cussion as to the best means of accomplishing t g e the object in view, a subscription list was o p ened, and was promised wlv~ t t at once s i m incre of aek200t4,3.2095 " With respect, then,-to the lights and incense, as well as vestments, we think that a speedy and inexpensive remedy should be provided for parishioners aggrieved by their introduction ; and the remedy which we recommend is the following :—First, that when se , ever it shall be found necessary that order be taken concerning the same, the usage of the Church of Eng land and Ireland as above stated to have prevailed fog. the last 300 years shall be deemed to be the rule of the, Church in respect of vestments, lights, and incense ; and, secondly, that parishioners may make formal application to t the bishop in camera, and the bishop on such application shall be hound to inquire into the matter of the com plaint ; and if it shall thereby appear that there has been a variation from established usage by the introduction of vestments, lights, or incense in the public services of the Church, he shall take order forthwith for the discontinuance of such variation, and be enabled to enforce the same sum. marily. We also think that the determination of the bishop on such application should be subject to appeal to the archbishop of the province in camera, whose decision thereon shall be final ; provided always, that if it should appear to either party that the decision of the bishop or archbishop is open to question on any legal ground, a case may be stated by the party dissatisfied, to be certified by the bishop or archbishop as correct, and then submitted by the said party for the decision of the court of the arch. bishop without pleading or evidence, with a right of appeal to the Privy Council, and with power for the court, if the statement of the case should appear to be in any way defective, to refer back such case to the bishop or arch, bishop for amendment. " Precautions should be taken against frivolous appli cations being brought before the bishop ; and, with this view, we further recommend that the application should be made either by one or more of the church or chapel wardens; or by at least five resident parishioners, who shall be householders and declare themselves to be mem bers of the Church of England, in places where the popu. lation exceeds 1,000, and by at least three such persons where the population is less than that number. In making this recommendation our intention is simply o provide for parishioners aggrieved by the introduction of variations from established usage in respect of vestments, lights, and incense, a special facility for restraining such variations without ihtei ferrng in other respects with the general law of the Church as to ornaments or the ordinary remedies now in force. " In submitting these recommendations to your Majesty we desire to state that we are anxious in no degree to abridge or curtail any of the rightful liberties heretofore enjoyed by the clergy and laity of the Church of England. The national Church may well i nclude men of varying shades of opinion so long as they can combine in o. conscientious acceptance of her recognised forrnularles and appointed rites. But this large comprehension seems to us to render it most desirable that in the celebration of the Church's rites there shall be intro duced no novel features which are welcome only to £405/0 but are offensive to others. All members of the Church being expected to join devoutly in one common form and order of service are, as we conceive, entitled to expect that ao unaccustomed form be used, giving to the service a new tendency and significance, by which the devotion of many A impeded. "We have made some progress in the revision of the rubrics, orders, and directions contained in the Book of Dontmon Prayer, and our recommendations on this sub ject will be presented to your Majesty in our next re port. A committee of the commission has been for some time engaged in preparing materials for the revision of the Lectionary." Mr. A. J. B. Beresford Hope, M.P. for the University of Cambridge, has consented to preside at the anniversary festival of St. John's Eoundation School for the Free Education and Maintenance of Sons of Poor Clergymen, at Willis's Rooms, on June 3. The Tours journals announce that Mr. James Cane, of English origin, born in that town in 1799, and who has not ceased to reside there since his birth, has just died, leaving by his will a million of- francs for the poor— one-half to the Bureau de Bienfaisance, and the other to' the hospital. REPRESENTATION Or LEICESTERSHIRE (NORTH). Mr. E. B. Hartopp has issued an address intimating that on the dissolution he will not again solicit the suffrages of the constituency. Mr. S. W. Clowes will offer himself as a Conservative candidate in succession to Mr. llartopp. At the Liverpool Police-court a summons has Seen granted against the Liverpool Exchange Company ;Limited) for refusing to shew a copy of the special Act of Parliament under which the company was constituted to Mr. C. D. Watson, who was recently fined £5 for cutting an extract from a newspaper belonging to the company, Mr. Watson alleging that he had received permission from s gentleman connected with the room to cut the paper. PRACTICE WITH THE CHASSEPOT.—An accident occurred two days back at Vincennes during the target exercise of the soldiers forming part of the camp of St. Maur. A spectator placed at the line of distance fixed by the authorities as quite beyond the range of the fire was struck by a Chassepot bullet, which passed through his hand and then entered his groin. The new firearms, it thus appears, have such a force of projection as to exceed the calculations of the military officers best acquainted with the subject. !it the Salford Police-court, a woman named Wilson has been charged with an assault upon her son, five years of age. Prisoner resided in a cellar, and had been in the habit of brutally treating her two children, who were illegitimate. An examination of the bodies of the children skewed them to be absolutely covered with contusions and burn marks. The youngest child, who is only three years of age, was scarcely able to walk, and the nose of the elder exhibited a severe bite, the prisoner on one occasion having bitten the lad on the nose and forehead. The prisoner was committed for six months' hard labour. SHOCKING SUICIDE.-A cow-boy in the service of Miss Burdett Coats, who resides at Holly Lodge, High gate, lately discovered the body of a man lying in an out of the way part of the grounds. The police were at once comunicated with, and on examination it was seen that the man, who had apparently been dead three or four days, had a fearful gash in his throat, inflicted doubtless by a knife that was lying beside him. The body was identified as that of Mr. Bickerstaff, a greengrocer, of Gerrard•street, Soho, who had been missing for five days. The body was conveyed to the Flask Inn, Highgate, to await an inquest. AWFUr. DEA.TII. —A fire broke out at the dye works of Messrs. T. Crossley and Sous, Bailey-hall-road, Ham ,. a d a y or two ago, and the damage done to the property before the fire was got out was from g 1,500 to 6,600.
