There is a letter in a cotitemporary from Mr. Francis Lyne, whom for convenience sllic we will call " Grandfather Ignatiue," referring to the conduct of the Bishop of London towards his son. This letter is such.. strange production that it is next to impotible ) tb get at the point of it, if there be any point. -It Opaiplains of the publishing of the Bishop's letter, and of the Bishop's ignorance of the surround ing c'rcumstances in the case for which he inhibited his son. If .. the mother of the lady will permit" Grandfather Ignatius" to publish a letter he wrote to her daughter, the whole truth he, says, will appear. lle complains that the Bishop's letter is " irregular, unjust, incoherent, and confused." (The words are highly descriptive of another letter.) He is ungallant enough to speak of the lady's age, which is 80, and he says she ought to know that rules without consequences arc of no value. Mr. Lyne supposes that the Bishop did not wish to leave awk ward legacies to his successors. He thinks he ought to have given his son the option of changing his views. Ile concludes : "To this, as a political game, however, I might have s a id no thi ng about it ; but I cannot allow so easily to pass (a bishop walking with snakes in - the grass) the first captivating words of the Bishop's letter,' in order to vulgarise still more those vulgar minds which are now rejoicing in the words Father Ignatius caught at last,' viz., 'A lady with whom you--; are acquainted,' &c. Whether or no this letter of mine is the fruit of an imperious demand on a father's heart I must leave it to the generosity of your readers to decide." We know not which is the most to be pitied—rather Ignatius on his parent's ammmt, Grandfather Ignatius on his son's, or the Bishop on account of both. MRS. GLADSTONE'S CONVALESCENT HOME.

HENRY LAKE, General Manager. 316, Regent-street, and 17, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. MR. RUBLE AND THE IRISH CHURCH. In his " Chapter of Autobiography" Mr. Glad stone mentions that Mr. lieblo was in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish Church. "C. 11. M.," writing to the Standard, says : "I was with Mr. Keble at Bournemouth about six. weeks before his death, and in the course of conversation some remarks on the separation of the Church from the State were suggested by a leading article of a weekly con temporary of yours. Ills observations at the time clearly sheaved that he was no advocate for such a measure. That, said he, would be a lamentable case of divorcement. I fear, however, the public mind is drifting in that direction. I shall not live to see it; you might.' This I think is sufficient to shew what that saintly man thought of disestablishment; disendowment was not hinted at." The conversation recorded by " C. 11. 111. " is not necessarily at variance with Mr. Gladstone's assertion. Mr. Keble may have been one of the many thousand Englishmen who, chile they desire the maintenance of the connection between the Church and the State in England, think that such connection in Ireland is unjust. THE FIRST CABINET COUNCIL. Mr. Bright has attended his first Cabinet Council. All fifteen members were present, and thus the unusual spectacle was presented of two Ministers sitting in the Council who S have no seat in e ith er House of Parliam en t, an d one whose election has been petitioned against. Six members of the Cabinet have not sat there before. THE WORK OF THE SESSION. There is already plenty of work cut out for the new Parliament. Our relations with the colonies ; the game laws ; the compound householder (whom Mr. Sheridan will attempt to resuscitate) ; the Commercial Treaty with France (which Mr. Staveley Hill will attempt to upset in order to please the Coventry weavers) ; the metropolitan poor ; the education of children in large cities; crime in the metropolis ; election expenses (which Mr. Fawcett will endeavour to throw upon the electors) ; local taxation in agricultural districts (Sir Massey Lopes's pet lamb which Mr. Acland has stolen from him) ; and the repeal of the income tax (moved by Whalley the Wise) ;—here is a goodly list of subjects enough to last a session, ev en th oug h there were no such institution as the Irish Church. It seems likely that t notwithstanding the pressure of work, the session will be unusually late. True the House of Commons is adjourned only until the 29th instant, but the sitting on that day will be purely formal, and will be for the purpose of issuing the remaining writs and to receive the notices of motions by right hon. and hon. members. The House of Lords is adjourned until February 11th, and there fore the Queen's Speech will be delivered on that day, and the business of the session will fairly begin then. This date is nine days later than the average time for the commencement of the session. ELECTION PETITIONS. The number of election petitions from England and Wales is likely to be increased considerably by those from Ireland. Both the members for Dublin City—Sir A. Guinness (C.) and Mr. Pim (L.)—have been petitioned against ; and Mr. Plunkett (C.), who was a very few votes behind Mr. Pim, claims his seat. Mr. Dowse (L.), who beat Lord C. Hamilton at Londonderry, has been petitioned against. So, too, have the members for Limerick. M uc h exc it emen t has been caused at Southampton by the news that a petition had been presented against the return of Mr, Hoare (C.) The seat i s c l a i me d b y M r. Moffatt (L.), the late member, who was only seven teen votes behind his opponent. Mr. Chawner (L.) claims Col. Meller's (C.) seat at Stafford. A petition against Mr. Beaumont (L.), M.P. for theSo u th-W es t Riding, has been present e d. Mr. Beaumont was only eight votes above Mr. Stanhope (C.) Scotland generally supplies no petitions ; but thif , year there will be two : one against the Lord Advocate, for alleged illegal payment of fees / in order to qualify members of the universities which he represents ; the other from Greenock, against the election of Mr. Grieve, on the ground of corrupt pra c ti ces . I n thi s case Mr. Christie, the defeated candidate, claims the seat. THE BOSTON ELECTION. -- - Mr. George Howell, secretary to the Reform League, has written to . a Mr. George Guinniss, a publican of Boston, stating that certain facts have been brought to the notice of the League respecting his conduct at the late election, and that they feel it their duty to call upon him to answer for his conduct immediately, and that if he should fail to do so within three days they will take steps to bring him before a legal tribunal. If the Reform League, or any other political body of either side, would undertake the part of public prosecutor in cases of electoral offences, they would confer a great benefit on society. We already have electoral associations for watching the register ; why should not their powers be extended so as to punish any abuse of the register ? HABEAS CORPUS IN IRELAND. The. late Government deserves credit for having so far gtampecl.ont_ Fenianitn thatAut new „Gov ern. Two years ago Mrs. Gladstone established at Snaresbrook a home for patients recovering from the cholera in the East-end of London. This insti tution was subsequently converted into a permanent sanatorium for the convalescent poor of that district. But the people of Snaresbrook, with a selfishness that is almost sublime, have prevailed upon the owner of the house to give Mrs. Gladstone notice to quit, with only a fortnight to make the change. One of the churchwardens appears to have been the prime mover in this most Christian work. He declared the Home was a public nuisance, but vouchsafed no further explanation. The churchwarden would seem to be an infrequent attendant at church, otherwise he would have remembered something about the words of commendation bestowed upon those who visited the sick. Mrs. Gladstone is now obliged to appeal to the public for help, and asks that funds may be raised for erecting a permanent home where she may not be subject to the caprices of selfish churchwardens. MR. JOHNSON AND THE WORKING LIEN„ Mr. Robert Coningsby, confessing himself heartily ashamed of the whole business, writes to Mr. Johnson to ask him to relieve the committee of working men from their engagement to give him a dinner. He says that as there is a division among them upon the subject, that which was intended for a compliment might become an insult. Mr. Johnson makes a digni fied reply. He makes no objection to the withdrawal of the invitation, and respectfully denies the right of any class of persons in this country, many or few, to question that he is a representative of the Govern ment and people of the United States." He further says : "I object, if possible, more decidedly, that any such impression constitutes even the semblance of excuse for any act of discourtesy towards me offi cially. For: whatever estimation I may be held in by those who have been instrumental in compelling you and those associated with you to do what you evidently consider an ungentlemanly act, I should feel no concern personally, but only regret it on account of its authors." Ile believes ho has the approbation of the bulk of the working men in this country, and that the unprejudiced and intelligent people in his own, who witness with pleasure the reconciliation of the Fedteal and Confederate generals, will not censure his treatment of Messrs. Roebuck and Laird, who owe no allegiance to the United Statcs. Mr. Johnson is hardly happy in his comparison. The Confederate officers are now loyal ; Mr. Roebuck is apparently impenitent. For all that, the London working men have done an exceedingly blundering and ungraceful thing, and have arrogated to themselves far more than their due importance. A FAST TRAIN, British tyranny has at last given up the patriot George Francis Train, and in leaving the inhospitablo shores of Ireland that gentleman gives us his blessing. Perhaps it is good for us to hear of our faults, though put before us in an exaggerated form, This is Mr. Train's opinion of the British Constitu tion : " Twelve hundred thousand paupers, six hundred thousand drunkards, one million and a half of bastards, one hundred thousand prostitutes, and the army, navy, and Church." Of the British Crown and Monarchy : " Some diamonds made out of the slave trade, the spoliation of Ireland, the robbing of the Church, the squeezing of the Begums of Oude, placed in a velvet porkpie hat, and stuck on the end of a broomstick, for twenty millions of slaves to fall down on their marrow-bones and worship, under the idea that it is a king or queen or prince They pay one million sterling directly, and over seventy millions indirectly, for this bauble of royalty." The House of Commons, British virtue, and British independence all come under the lash of this Diogenes, and he gives some Court news, in which we find the follow ing interesting item :—" The distinguished German Prince Tech - , while playing rackets to-day, burst his trousers in the presence of the entire Court. They will -be mended at the expense of the State, as usual." Finally, Mr. Train says the Americans will not declare war against England, because they aro cowards. It is evident that if George Francis is off the rails, he is well up in railing; and we may congratulate ourselves that this crazy censor is now " making tracks" over the broad. Atlantic. DAW V. ELEY. The Master of the Rolls, referring to this ease in court on Tuesday, said that his remarks had been misunderstood. He did not wish to limit the dis cussion of the press so far as regards the utility of inventions ; he thought that Mr. Collette and Mr. Eley were to blame—the one for writing and the other for inserting letters denying the novelty of Mr. Daw's invention. The question of novelty, Lord Romilly contended, had nothing to do with the question of utility. With all due deference to his lordship, we believe it will often be impossible to separate the two questions. For instance, it might suffice, in order to prove the non-utility of an inven tion, to chew that it had been tried before and had failed. FOLLOWERS OF COMUS. There is in the metropolis a popular music -hall, which is tolerably familiar to cattle-show visitors, election agents, and county magistrates, though their wives and families may not know it. The Alhambra is a magnificent building, and the entertainments are of a magnificent kind. There has just been given at this place what the proprietors were pleased to call a bal masque—a vulgar, spiritless affair, without humour and without consistency. On the floor of the room, set apart for dancing, men walked amongst the dancers in great-coats, hats, and muddy boots. The women affected costumes as unbecoming as possible, and never made the slightest attempt to pourtray the character assumed. The wicked old gentlemen from the country seemed to enjoy it the most, and the' greybeards wagged all." As the bal arrived at the small hours of the morning, the Eng lish splenetic antipathy to the merriment essential to such scenes found a su b s tit u t e i n E ng li s h noise, caused in some instances by Dutch courage. The masks bandied clumsy wit until the National Anthem, some little time before three, gave warningto go. Some of the masks and nondescripts m plain clothes still remained to indulge m an amusement more congenial to them than elegant fooling, and some of the fair sex jumped into the arms of their adorers, and were carried round the room by them, till the lamps were put out. Well might the French man say we take our pleasure sadly. It i s un d ers t oo d that the authorities have . resolved not to permit any more of these performances. THE LONDON STREETS. According to the returns of the Registrar-General, five lives have been lost in one week in the streets of the metropolis. Two cases of furious riding and driving were proved before the magistrates the other day. In the first, a carman had ridden a horse rapidly through one of the streets of Mile-end New Town, knocked down a woman, and so injured her that she will be compelled to keep her bed three weeks or a month. Ile was remanded on bail. In the other case a horse and cab, driven by a drunken flyman, had knocked down and injured an aged man m the Westminster-bridge-road. The defendant escaped with a fine of 40s. or the alterna tive of a month's imprisonment. The magistrates still seem to have a strange notion of the relative alt4e life g4P.ll'9Pgt-Y, T HE WELLINGTON, 51, St. James's-street, DINNER from the joint, wi th vegetable, bread, cl eese, and attendance, 2s.
