The Saturday Review admits that the idea of disestablishment bas become strangely familiar to the extreme men of the High Church party during the last two or three years. Dissatisfaction at the constitution of the Supreme Court of Appeal has done much, and the irritation caused by that novel phase of Erastianism which finds so persistent and outspoken a representative in the Pall Mall Gazette has done more, to bring this about. Formerly the conviction in every man's mind seemed to be that the union of Church and State would last his time at all events. Now the tables are turned, and we have the strange spectacle of finding not here and there a solitary fanatic, but quite a party among the clergy who appear to regard ultimate disestab lishment as extremely probable, if not absolutely inevitable.. This new-school clergyman's attitude in view of the coming future may be one of despair, or resignation, or even absolute satisfaction ; but, whichever it be, the fact that it is coming is ad mitted to be a foregone conclusion. Still there is a great difference between a semi-fatalist acceptance of disaster and a voluntary movement to meet it half way. The latter may be —nine times out of ten is—the wisest course; but it nee is an amount of resolution, and a capacity of acting on probabili ties, which are not commonly found in any large and ill-organised body of men. And in this instance they will have but little time in which to grow accustomed to the idea. Mr. Coleridge's bill, if not a more peremptory measure, will cer tainly be reintroduced next session, and the inter val between its introduction and its passing the House of Lords—which can hardly be more than one or two sessions—is all that will be left to Dr. Pusey to convert the Church of England. It is but a short space, considering the work that has to be crowded into it. A couple of years to bring a great party in the Established Church up to the point of proposing its own disestablishment. For Dr. Pusey's scheme comes to nothing short of this. He must be prepared, as the only chance of suc cess, to be taken at his word. It is the Japanese happy despatch and nothing else, lie has to win over to his scheme both his own party and the Liberals. It is the first step that Dr. Pusey will find most difficult. The miracle will be if he can so far influence the High Church party as to get the proposal seriously made. As the thing stands, either Dr. Pusey's position as a leader—and he has never yet shone in that way—is gone fur ever, or he will have achieved such a revolution as the ecclesiastical world has not yet seen. II EALTH OF THE EMPEROR NAPVLEON. —The Pays publishes the following :—" Our duty is to contradict formally the rumours propagated by speculators under the peristyle of the Bourse re specting an alleged illness of the Emperor. No thing is more erroneous, the health of his Majesty being all that can be desired, and never better than at this moment." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1868. SHARE LIST. THEOUPRAGE IN TIPPERARY. A ittblk meeting of the magistrates of Tipperary and thi3 surrounding district has been held in the Court-house, Tipperary, for the purpose of taking into consideration and discussing the melancholy events connected with the late tragedy at Ballycohey. The first resolution proposed and carried unanimously was one in which the conduct of Mr. Scully, of Ballinaclough, in his tyrannical proceed ings against his tenantry at Ballycohey, was condemned in the strongest and most emphatic terms by the gentlemen present. A resolution was next passed in which thebench expressed their warmest approval of the conduct of Con stable Cleary and the men under his command, for the gallant and courageous manner in which they conducted themselves on the day of the attack at Ballycohey. The third was a resolution expressing regret for the melancholy manner in which Sub-constable Morrogh came by his death on the day of the attack, and proposing to open a subscription list for deceased's friends. The resolution was heartily responded to, and upwards of £l5 was subscribed on the moment. Mr. Andrews, petty sessions clerk, was appointed treasurer. After the busi ness at petty sessions had been disposed of, the two Dwyers and Timothy Heffernan, who had been in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the attack made on Mr. Scully, were liberated, no proof being adduced to justify their further detention. There is consequently no person now in custody charged with being concerned in the unfor tunate affair, no arrests having been effected by the police since Thursday week. • tax' --z - -, i j --',.•.-111 - 7 , ',' , /- ' gillll ...a_FA, N . . it 4et u „ -- & - clitr.-- -- Cut, to; i fat - --------. , . .

AQUATICS. - ~-- RANDFORD'S ACCEPTANCE OF KELLEY'S CHALLENGE. Just before going to press last night we (Sportsman) received the following telegram from Newcastle : James Itandford, of Newcastle, has accepted Kelley's challenge on the following terms:—" I agree to row Kelley on the Thames for £2OO a side and the Champion ship of England, according to his challenge, from the Star and Gart3r Inn, Putney, to Mortlake ; all steamboats to be moored at Putney-bridge, and the referee to be starter. Bell's Life of the Newcastle Chronicle to be stakeholder. Articles and a deposit forwarded to the Newcastle chronicle office will be attended to. " JAlas IiAnFORD7 Champion of the Thamea," RAILWAY SECURITIES. The Yorkshire Post states that the North Eastern Rail way Company have been for some time endeavouring to hit upon a scheme which should provide a perfect system of intercommunication. They have secured a plan of communication, which was fixed to a train, and tried at the Leeds Wellington Station on Satur day, in the presence of several railway officials. The scheme is very simple, almost costless, and, as far as we can judge, nearly perfect. It is really an extension of the present communication between the guard and the engine-driver, by means of a cord, which at present is passed alongside the carriages ; it is, there fore, apparently, the cheapest and the most easily worked plan that can be adopted. In every guard's van there is now a wheel round which the cord is passed ; the new plan is that this cord shall be passed from the van along the ledge of the carriages upon the outside, until it reaches the engine. When it has reached the end of the carriage nearest the engine, there is a great declension, owing to the engine being much lower than the carriage, but this is obviated by an upright rod being fixed upon the former, to which the cord is passed, and thence it is fastened to the steam whistle. The communication is then complete, for when the guard pulls the cord it turns on a steam pipe, and when the driver does so it rings, by a very simple contrivance, a bell in the van, whose noise does not cease for several minutes, so that the contingency of the guard being drowsy or engaged is provided for. If the cord, upon being touched at either end, arouses the attention of the man at the other, it follows that when it is touched between the extremes it will arouse the attention of the driver and the guard at once, and thus the communication with the passenger is established. If anything occurs causing a passenger to desire to stop the train and call the atten tion of the guard, all he has to do is to stretch his hand out of the window, and pull the string above the door, and his object is effected at once. All that is then re quired is for the guard to be able to know immediately who it is that requires his aid, and this is effected by a very ingenious piece of mechanism, by which, upon the string being pulled in any carriage, an indicator springs out and remains extended until put back with a key, which of course only an official can have. This con trivance effects a double purpose ; not only does it tell the guard where he is required if he really is needed, but it acquaints him with the carriage by the occupants of which he has been called, in case anyone should be so imprudent and so reprehensible as to stop the train without cause, and so would lead to the punishment of the offending persons. The Mayor of Norwich, at a meeting last week, stated that a friend of his went into a barber's shop, and that worthy tradesman said, "I don't think much of thee British Association ; nine out of ten don't shave at all, and the others shave themselves." A LEEDS PRIZE FIGHT STOPPED. A prize fight has been prevented through the timely appearance of the police. Upwards of a thousand persons had congre gated near to Bowling, in the borough of Bradford, for the purpose of witnessing a combat between Patsy Gillan and George &holey, alias Niggar, both of Leeds, for £lO a-side. After considerable manosuvering, Mr. Superintendent Pollard and Detective Murray, of the West Riding Con stabulary, made their appearance as the pugilists were preparing to commence their melee, when they at once de camped. The officers took possession of the ropes, which are now at the Leeds West Riding Police-office, and the fight did not take place. THE KING'S OAK AT BEDDINOTON PARK.— This noble oak is supposed to be 1,000 years old, and is one of the finest specimens ever seen ; the measurement of the butt is 27 ft., the circumference round the middle 20 ft., and it is now 27 ft. high, having been broken in felling it. On its removal from Beddington to Croydon it required the services of twelve men, with more than the usual apparatus, to place it on the timber-carriage, and nine good horses, which drew it through the streets of Croydon, to the surprise and delight of the inhabitants. This is the tree that is generally called Queen Elizabeth's oak, from the fact that when her Majesty visited the mansion close to which it grew in Leddington Park, it was her favourite resort, and beneath its ample boughs, shaded alike from the sun and from observation, she passed much time with her courtiers and her favourites. It has been purchased by Mr. Holdsworth, timber merchant, Handcroft-road, Croy don. Surrey Standard. PATENTS.—In the year 1867 2,284 patents wero passed, and 2, 253 specifications were filed. 2,528 applica tions for letters patent lapsed or were forfeited by neglect to proceed for patents within the six months of protection; and 31 patents became void through neglect to file speci fications. Of the patents upon which specifications are filed about 70 per cent. become void at the end of the third year by non-payment of the £5O stamp duty ; and at the end of the seventh year, by non-payment of the further £lOO stamp duty, the number void is raised to 90 per cent., leaving only one-tenth of the original number in force. The fees received in the year 1867 (by stamps) amounted to £112,843. The fees paid to the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General and their clerks amounted to £11,115; and the salaries and expenses of the office, compensation, annuities, printing, and other expenditure, with the pay ment of the revenue stamp duty of £20,820, left a surplus income for the year of £42,840. The commissioners—the Lord Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, Attorney-General, and Solicitor-General —renew their representation of the need of a suitable building for the Patent Office. THE NEW LAW ON IMPROVED DWELLINGS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.—The last Act of Parliament passed in the late session was an important measure. Its object was to provide better dwellings for artisans and labourers by improving or taking down places occupied by working men and their families which in the preamble were described as "unfit forlmman habitation." Numerous public improvements are being effected ; and in the neighbourhood where they are being executed wretched homes for the working men present themselves. Premises can now be represented by four or more householders, and officers of health are to report, and, when required, the owners are to improve the dwellings, or to demolish the same. Where expenses are incurred a charge is to be given on the property, in the shape of a mortgage and an annual sum to be paid. Where a local authority executes the works, money may be borrowed of the Public Loan Commissioners and others, and a " charging order" made on the p ro p er t y . Th e text o f t h e new law is to make provision for taking down or improv. ing dwellings occupied by working men and their families which are unfit for human habitation, and for the building and maintaining of better dwellings. In forty-one sec tions and several schedules the text is worked out. MASS MEETING OF COLLIERS.—On Monday the annual gathering of the South Yorkshire colliers took place at Whitely-wood Hall, the seat of Mr. S. Plimsoll. about four miles from Barnsley, when from 9,000 t. 10,000 persons were present. From an early hour in the morning the town of Barnsley was alive with music as the various lodges arrived with their bands and their hand some flags and banners. A procession was formed, and, with upwards of twenty bands of music, marched tc Whitely-wood Park. On arriving there the chair was taken by Mr. Plimsoll, and several interesting addresses were delivered by gentlemen from a distance, with reference to trades unions, co-operative associations. &c. As showing the benefits given by the Miners' Asso elation, it was stated that during the past year it had paid as fellows :—To members injured in mines, £1,70i 12s. 7d. ; to sick members, £1,477 15s. ; allowance to widows and orphans, £2,520 18s. ; paid to the Gresley miners in Derbyshire (on strike), £3,538 10s. ; loans to other trades, £740 ; paid to men locked out, £683 ; to men on strike, £135 14s. 9d. ; weighmen's wages, £2,548 135., &c. The total payments for the year bad been £17,810 IGs. sd. ; whilst the funds in hand amounted to £8,394 ls. sd. After the passing of the usual votes of thanks, the company walked Ainit the MUM HER MAJESTY. PENSION WALLIS, LUCERNE, Aug. 30.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The " order" and authority given under it is an incentive to theft, falsehood, and extortion, as I have shown the Commissioner this week, and to continue it till further notice is a neelless act of petty tyranny to owners and of cruelty to dogs—a wanton and gratuitous insult to all classes of society, which, unless nipped in the bud, indicates plainly enough that wherever the law can be strained, and it suits the Commissioner to do it, the people will meet with very little more consideration than dogs. What can be done ought to cancel this obnoxious order, but nothing, as I have proved, can be done in it without combinatim. I shall be happy to receive communications Ist the subject with the view of forming the needful com bination, and shall feel obliged if you will publish this letter to promote that end. —Your obedient servant, JAMES CLOTHIER, 121, Pall Mall, S.W. Saturday, August 29, 1868. THE FRENCH ARMY. The Moniteur de 1 'Armee of to-day publishes an article refuting the assertion of one of the Paris correspondents of the Nord, who stated that orders had been given that special garments to be used by the troops in time of war should be made. The Moniteur also contradicts other asser tions of the same correspondent, and says : " There were never more soldiers absent from their regiments on leave than at present, and the only military exercises now taking place are those at the Camp at Chalons and Launemazan." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. THAMES. DRUNK IN COURT,.-A little antiquated dame, named Sarah Chilton, was brought before Mr. Ben son on a charge of being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself last night in Poplar. Mr. Benson—Well, Mrs. Chilton, lam rather surprised to see you here to-day, charged with drunkenness. You were intoxicated yesterday in this court, and troubling me with your absurd ap plications, and were guilty of a gross contempt of Court. You remained drunk all day, went home and slept, and then got drunk again. Mrs. Chilton, who was remarkably clean and neat, said, " Oh no, sir; it was a glass of ale in the middle of the day." Mr. Benson—That glass of ale is a marvellous one, and has been working upwards ever since. What are you, Mrs. Chilton ? Prisoner—A labourer's wife, sir. Walton, an officer of the court, said the prisoner had taken out a warrant against another woman for an as3ault. Mr. Benson—You have been quarrelling with your neighbours, Mrs. Chilton, and have been as saulted. Mrs. Chilton—lt was the ale, sir. Mr. Benson—What kind of ale was it, Mrs. Chilton ? Th e, prisoner—lt was Yorkihire stingo. Mr. Benson —I am afrai 1 that glass of ale was often repeated, Mrs. Chilton. You are fined 53. for being drunk and incapable of t tking care of yourself. The prisoner was locked up. THE PROPOSED FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The accounts published in the 7 lines, and E 0111.! of the other morning papers to-day, with respect to the liberation of Allen, one of the champions for "Alm belt," are altogether erroneous. Allen was not admitted to bail. He is at present in ,he House of j Detention, whither he was con veyed yesterday, as stated in the late edition of The Sun, by Itedstall, the gaoler of the Bow-street Police Court, and Police-constable Seldon, 159 F. Up to the closing of the court at five o'clock last even ing not even a single security had been offered, and Allen on his removal to prison seemed al together over comebythe apparent desertion of him by his friends. The amount of bail is also wrongly stated. The extent of the surety required is two responsible persons in the amount of £5OO each, and not two in £BOO, as stated in the 7imes. The story of the prisoner's release is altogether groundless, as Sir Thomas Henry strictly impressed upon Mr. Abrams, who yesterday appeared for Allen, that he should require twenty-four hours' notice to be given, in order that proper inquiry might be made into the substantiality of the persons tender ing themselves as sureties. Should bail be offered during the morning Allen could not even be liberated to-day unless the twenty four hours' notice required by the chief magistrate be dispensed with, and which would defeat one of the objects he had in view, viz., the prevention of the fight taking place to-day, as had been arranged by the backers and supporters of the two men, Allen and Goss.

THE PRINCE I3IPERIAL AT FONTAINEBLEAU.— According to the bidependance Beige the Prince Imperial dances a good deal at Fontainebleau, al though his preceptor, M. Filon, proved himself lamentably deficient in the art on a late occasion, when he was dancing vis-h-vis to the young Prince. M. Filon has accordingly commenced to take lessons in the'art, and is showing laudable zeal in improving his education in this respect. The fol lowing words are attributed to his Imperial High ness, which shows that his religious education has not been neglected :—" When I am Emperor I will have everybody perform his religious duties ; I will not have persons without religion." It is =aid that he shows great aptitude for music, but the Emperor rather discourages this in-lination in his son. " I will not have him a Coburg," was he observation of his Majesty. Thirteen States, having a total population of about 146 millions, have as yet adopted the deci mal system of weights and measures ; namely France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, the Rom In :states, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Mexico, Chili, Brazil, New Granada, and other Republics of 3outh America, which may be all taken together. Other countries, with 68 millions of inhabitants, have adopted some portions ; and, finally, England and the United States admit the introduction, but only optionally. CHESTER CATHEDRAL. , .4i.

BOW-STREET POLICE COURT. This afternoon Mr. Abrams, who has been en gaged for Allen, attended before Sir Thomas Henry with respect to the accepting of bail for t')e future goal behaviour of his client, now an inmate of the House of Decntion in dvf mit of bail. Inspector Silverton was present. Mr. Abrams, addressing the Chief Magistrate, said—l appear, sir, in accordance with the intima tion I gave yesterday, to ask that the amount of bail might be reduced from the present high figure at which it s 1 ands. Sir T. ILnry—After the consideration I have given to the case, I shall de::i ledly refuse to make any alteration in the amount of surety require]. Mr. Abrams—That being your determination I shall not refer further to the matter. I have now to propose Mr. Nat Langham, the proprietor of the Mitre Tavern, St. Martin's-lane, as one of the per sons ready to become surety for Allen. Inspector S:lverton—l have no objection to Mr. Langham. Mr. Abrams—The name of the other person I have to offer is Mr. William Brown, proprietor of the Railway Tavern, Green-gate, Manchester. Sir T. Henry to Inspector Silverton—Th you know anything respecting the person just men tioned ? Inspector Silverton—No, Sir Thomas, nothing beyond the fact that Mr. Brown, who is in attend ance, has been identified by Mr. Langham as the proprietor of the Railway Tavern at Manchester. Sir T. Henry—l don't feel inclined to accept Mr. Brown as bail before some inquiry has been made about him. It appears to me, speaking from what occurred on the last occasion when a similar application was before me, that of Mace, who was matched to fight O'Baldwin, that bail without it was of a very substantial and heavy amount, never deterred personsfrorn going on with these prize fights. On the contrary they en deavoured to break the law on every occasion that presented itself, notwithstanding the steps taken to prevent it. The Government, however, were de termined to put these contests down, and I shall not take upon myself the responsibility of admitting Allen to bail on the surety of Mr. Brown, until some inquiry has been made that he is solvent and a per son of responsibility. Inspector Silverton, you will make the necessary inquiries. On receiving further information from you I shall determine what to do, but not-before. Inspector Silverton—l shall at once set about making the necessary inquiries. Mr. Abrams—lf I find another person of respec tability residing in London willing to become bail, will you accept him if Inspector Silverton is satis fied that he is a safe and solvent person. Sir T. Henry—Certainly. I have no desire to keep any one in custody longer than is absolutely necessary. Ido hope, however, that the other man Goss will be apprehended by the police and brought before me that I may bind over both men to keep the peace. Inspector Silverton—lnspector Tanner and I have been taking steps to secure such an event. I have no doubt but that, before a very few hours expire, Goss will be in custody. Mr. Abrams—l have in the strongest manner again to urge you, Sir Thomas, to accept the bail I have already tendered. Allen, you will recollect, has been in custody ever since SAturday, and has been for many hours locked up in a cell ; and altogether he is in such a condition as altogether to preclude his app2aring as', one of the actors in a fight for the championship. Sir Thomas henry—l don't feel sure about that. Mr. Abramm—The hour appointed for the fight has passed, and therefore by the regulations of the ring the fight would be off. Sir Thomas lienry—Yes, but fresh regulations could very easily be made. do not feel at all in clined to alter, the decision I have already come to in the case. Mr. Abrams—Very well, Sir TllOllll3. I will do all I can, and if I should succeJd in finding a re sponsible person living iu London before you leave the court I will make another application, other wise I will attend before you to-morrow to know the result of the inquiries of Inspector Silverton. No further application was mad.; up to the rising of the court. It appeared to be the general opinion of all en gaged in the matter that Allen wouli not under any circumstances be released until Goss had been taken and bound over to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects.

Ignatius immolated the family of Moses, and the latter that of his neighbour. Several households perished before the authorities could interfere. ANOTHER WOODEN NUTMEG STORY.--AbOut 200 casks, forming part of a shipment of over a thousand described as lard by a large intrcantile house in New York hitherto considered respectable, has lately arrived in Lon don. Against the entire shipment the firm obtained tho acceptances for over £+3,000, or at the rate of £;0 per to; from a London house of long standing. Soon atter the arrival here of the first shipment they wore surveyed by a competent person, whose opinion, after a careful inspec tion, was that the "lard" was valueless. The parcel was therefore sold by public auction, and brought twenty-two shillings per ton, a little more than the value of the casks, and not sufficient to pay freight and charges. The New York house has since stopped payment.— The Grocer. tif The course of exchange at New York on London for bills 1 " at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 119 j per cent At this rate there is no profit on the importation et gold from the United ,States " ago' small )uno ls o vound nu teB, The a with :er on ri c tor ot be ____---' s,a 's ae s l6 roc ' tifgb o et re 0 00 "t of Iwtsit ars ill tcl'et Tc• c i o loP dadool4
