SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times notices the acceptance of Mr. Lowe by the University of London. That institution has been re garded, ever since the foundation of the college in which it wascradled, as the supreme effort and perfect work of Liberalism. It was to b 3 the fruitful parent of secular ideas and popular movements. Thirty years ago it seemed more .than conceivable—it appearedhighlyprobable to many edu cated men—that a university on the principles of Gower street would revolutionise the country. Such a university we have now, and the first name it is about to enrol in the list of its representatives is the man who, till a few months since, was straining every nerve and perilling a great reputation to turn back, if possible, the tide of Parliamen tary Reform. The Times attributes the favour shewn by the University to Mr. Lowe to his endeavour to raise the intellectual and moral standard of the country. Nor is that all. It sees in him also a man of various and exact knowledge, a scholar in many languages and literatures, a deep and honest thinker, and pre-eminently a working mon. Sue' quali ties will always have their weight and their influence in the country and on the age. It is by them that truth is attained and progress made. Whether they are equally available for political exigencies, and whether truth and policy can always be found good yokefellows, is another matter, and one which has recently received some striking illustrations. The Post says the language which Mr. Disraeli put into the mouth of his sovereign when proroguing Parliament dispels all doubt as to the line which will be taken by that Minister and his supporters at the forthcoming elections. The cry will be not merely " The Church is in danger," but " Civil and religious liberty are in danger." In other words, Mr. Disraeli will solicit the support of the new as well as of the old constituency on the faith of the assurance that if the policy of the leader of the Liberal party is persisted in, all that an - Englishman holds dear will be inevitably sacrificed. As a piece of electioneering tactics, most persons will feel inclined to condemn, as unworthy of Mr. Disraeli's astute ness and ability, so barefaced an attempt ; and even those who might otherwise be predisposed to en dorse the policy of the Conservative chieftain will find themselves compelled to condemn a Minister who has for a second time in the course of the few months during which he has occupied the post of First Lord of the Treasury placed his sovereign in the van of, the battle, and sought to concen trate upon her the odium which he knew would not fail to be excited by his doubtful tactics. The Post reviews the conduct of the Reform Bill and the position of the Irish Church, and concludes that the result of the elections will be unfavourable to the Conservative party. The Herald suggests that what is needed is a thorough inspection of all buildings devoted to public gatherings, with the view to ascertain, in the first place, that they are constructed with sufficient strength in the walls and floor ings to meet the utmost strain to which they can possibly be subjected ; in the second, that they are provided with means of egress ample both as to number and facility. No building should be allowed to be used for public purposes without a license, and the fulfilment of all these requisites should be the condition of obtaining that license. Surely the Board of Works might undertake this department. Private householders are sufficiently harassed with the often trivial and vexatious requisitions of those obnoxious but useful functionaries the district surveyors. Why should they not be directed to turn their attention to regulations for ensuring the safety of the public in public buildings? The Daily Telegraph alludes to the effect of the Reform Bill. We now enter upon a new regime. The late ex tension of the borough constituency is an approximation —though only an approximation—to that which pre vailed in the earliest times. Every householder is hence forth to have a vote if he have resided for twelve months, and duly paid his rates. This condition of pre payment of rates is a modern innovation. There is riot an iota of evidence that it was exacted under our ancient constitution ; for, though the town elec tors in the . Plantagenet times were frequently described as the scot-and-lot voters—that is, the persons who contributed their quota to local burdens—the phrase was merely a general description. A defaulter in such payments was liable to legal process for. arrears ; but we have not a trace of any law or custom which disfran chised him for . non-payment. However, the ratepaying clause has been adopted in conformity with the precedent of 1832, and there is no doubt that it will have a can siderable effect." Many thousands will be excluded from the autumnal registration, and for several reasons we may conclude that for the present the extension of the franchise will be less than was generally anticipated within the first year. We have only just created a new and complicated machinery, and a considerable time is required to get it into full operation. It is therefore true only in a limited sense that the appeal is about to be made to the new con stituencies. Even if the cumbrous processes of the Reform Act should not be simplified and amended hereafter—even if the law next year should be just the same as it is now— it is certain that another registration will be more produc tive than that, which is now impending. Men will be more familiar with their rights, will understand better how to assert them,'and organisations of various kinds will Le invented to assist them in enrolling their names. The Star appeals to Mr. Mill for ad..lee in the case of the Welsh Tory landlord. It says, we want to know what these people are to do. Of course we know what, in a high moral sense, they ought to do. We know what an Andrew Marvel or a Stuart Mill would do were he placed in such a position. He would vote as his conscience bade him, and order, as Ulysses says, his brave soul to bear the consequences. But the political system stands self-con demned which can only be carried out by men of rare and stubborn virtue. All our systems must be matte for average men ; and no average men of any class whatever could be trusted to bear up against the temptation to pur chase quiet and immunity from punishment by succumbing to such landlord tyranny. Nay, we have no right to expect that ordinary men will run such risks. It is our business to protect them against having the exercise of thair free vote made subject to penal consequences. MARTIN V. 3/fAcKoNocam.—This appeal to thO Privy Council will appear in the next list. The defen dant has not appealed, and the only questions to be raised will be on lighted candles and the payment of the costs in the Arches Court. Some velocipede amateurs of Marseilles are arranging a long journey with this new means of locomo tion. The velocipedes are to start from Marseilles for Genoa, by Corniche. From Genoa they are to proceed to Turin and Susa, over Mont Cenis, and return to Marseilles by the valley of the Rhone. ALLEGED PROMOTION OF AN EXTREME RITUALIST. -It is stated that the Rev. James Bunt, of Northmoor green, whose ritualistic proceedings excited attention some months ago, has received the appointment to a valuable living in the north of England, the gross income of which is estimated at £1,200 per annum, and that he will enter upon his new duties in the course of next month.— Weekly Paper. FREE LABOUR v. TRADES UNIONS. Trades unionists consider that it is right for men of all trades to combine ; let them ask themselves the question what the result would be if the farmers throughout the country en tered into a powerful combination and (being supported by the importers of corn) doubled the present price of bread. Why is there not to be free trade in English labour as well as in corn, cattle, coffee, tea, sugar, rice, &c. ? Were these necessaries of life produced under the rules of trades unions the cost would be so exorbitant that nine•tenths of the world would die of starvation.—Builder. TELEGRAPHIC BLUNDERS. —If a record were kept of the whimsical blunders that arc constantly occurring in connection with the special wires, a most amusing " Joe Miller" might easily be compiled. The matter often arrives so late at its destination that there is no time for cor rection of the press, and the public are consequently treated to much that is equally humorous and inexplicable. The reader, for instance, comes across the following sen tence, and is much disquieted : " The speeches in the Reform debate threaten to stretch to the crack of the door.' He may ruminate upon the matter as long as memory holds her seat in his distracted globe, without being able to solve the mystery. The correspondent in London alone has the key, and the knowledge of the fact that he wrote " crack of doom." Telegraph-clerks, however, in the full heat and fervour of their driving, should not be held responsible for a knowledge of Shakespeare. Again, one might think that the House had forgotten its dignity, aml the marvels of the olden time bad again come back, upon seeing the statement in prominent type that " Colonel Taylor, the Conservative whip, has forty members on his back who are desirous of speaking in the great debate ; " the words " on his back " being, of course, a sapient substitution for " on his book." Paterfamilias may, if he be sedulous in politics, have to lament the questionable delicacy of such a sentence as : " Mr. Lowe made a furious attack upon the Treasury Bench, and succeeded in touching the shirts of the Government ; " the latter being a transmogrifica tion of " vexing the skirts of the Government." In like manner, "Each says" suffers a sea-change, and comes forth to the sun as " Sach says," and is looked upon as the name of a possible German professor. Grammarians not unfrequently have their parsing powers tested by the examination of such sentences as these : " The weather at Newmarket to-day was so favourable, the sky being dull and clo u d e d, w hil e torrents of ra i n fell very fre quently,e much interest attachei to the Biennial, Friponnier's defeat was the topic 9u the course."— characrie t 791417,44 THE GREAT FIRE AT NEWCASTLE. The local papers give full details of the great fire which took place on Sunday, at the Friar's Goose Chemical Works, on the Tyne. The premises where the fire took place belong to the Jarrow Chemical Company, Messrs. J. C. Stevenson, Mr. Alderman Williamson, and others being partners, and are situated at the Felling, a few hundred yards to the east of Messrs. Allhusen's chemical works. The buildings cover an area of about twenty acres, and the articles made there are alkali, carbonate of soda, bleaching powder, &c. The fire was discovered shortly before U o'clock. Only a very few minutes before the watchman had gone over the works, and had not noticed the slightest indication of burning. Two men who were at work on the fremises were totally ignorant until the ringing of the fire-bell. The fire had its origin in the acid chambers. The wooden portion of the structure had within two or three weeks been newly tarred ; and this would seem to render not improbable the supposition that the confla gration bad arisen through combustion from the sun's rays. The works were fitted with an extensive system of fire plugs and other apparatus, but long before these could have been brought into operation the flames had extended ; and the engine was out of work. In an extraordinary short space of time after its discovery the fire had run along the whole of the roofs of the range of buildings facing south to the great refuse bank and pit-heap of the Friar's Goose Colliery. The rafters having been newly pitched aided the progress of the flames, and exposed to the full action of the intense heat the leaden cisterns filled with sulphuric acid stored below. One by one the leaden cisterns melted and let out their corrosive contents, bubbling and boiling on to the ground below. The whole of the site having an inclination towards the river, the boiling sulphuric acid streamed down in green stifling rivulets through all the open ways affording an outlet. In sunken places and flats it formed pools inches in depth, and overflowing these ran into the river at several points. This crippled the exertions of those engaged within the factory, for wherever the foul smelling streams had run the ground was rendered impassable for the firemen and workmen, the corrosive acid burning the boots and clothing and flesh wherever it found a lodgment. To overcome this difficulty a large number of planks were procured, and the dangerous places were bridged over as well as the haste of the moment would permit. As the fire leapt from one dry range of sheds to another, streams of molten lead followed in its track, and great tongues of flame leapt up, accom panied by a dense volume of brown smoke, varied now and then by a heavy gush of inky blackness. In the meantime measures of the most complete and energetic kind had been taken to curb the progress of the flames. The two Messrs. France, Mr. Superintendent Elliott, Serjeant Bryson, and several of the Gateshead police and the men employed upon the works, made a gallant stand against the flames at the north-west end of the site. Under the direction of the three first-named gentlemen a hose and discharge pipe were got to play upon the burning mass with some effect, the utmost energy being displayed by all concerned. Sergeant Bryson, in the most gallant manner, took the discharge pipe on to the roof of No. 5 " burner " house, and with the assistance of Police constable Thompson and two or or three workmen directed a powerful jet of water upon the flames. Immediately above the roof ott which they were standing a heavy pipe, called the " burner" pipe, traversed from one house to another on either side. The sergeant, with his aides, had not been long in their position when Mr. H. France observed that the pipe was in an unsafe condition, in consequence of the gradual destruction of one of its supports ; he therefore called to Bryson and his men to come clown. Other persons also saw the danger, and called to them to descend ; but it would seem that they did not comprehend the shouts. The support of one end of the pipe gave way, and it immediately parted in the middle and came crash ing down on the roof near where the men were standing with the discharge pipe. None of the men appear to have been struck by the pipe in its descent, but Bryson, Thomp son, and a young man fell through the roof into the midst of the wreck below. Not a moment was lost in res cuing them from the dibris. Sergeant Bly.ion had fallen upon one of the places drenched with sulphuric acid, and besides injuries to the face and head from the falling timber, he was dreadfully burnt by the corrosive liquid. Almost immediately after the medical gentlemen were called on to examine Police-constable Thompson, who had been lifted from the spot where he had fallen, and carried to the public-house. It was found that one of his legs was fractured, and his foot and ankle dreadfully cut. A cab was therefore procured, and he was put into it and despatched to Newcastle Infirmary. The young man who fell at the same time as Bryson and Thompson was also brought to the public-house for examination. Three of his ribs were broken. At half-pact one o'clock the fire was at its height, raging over an area of ground so large that it mocked the exertions of the means taken to extinguish it. The entire labour of the seventeen or eighteen jets playing upon the flames bad to be directed towards the confining of the conflagration within the limits of its present devastation, and even in this they were only partially successful, for upon the great front of fire advancing towards the riverside part of the property they made little impression. The damage done to the property and stock can only be roughly calculated. We believe, however, that it will not be less than about £70,000. The loss will be only partially covered by insurance in the Royal, the North British, and the York shire Fire Offices. LAW AND POLICE. A..-.-- TEE ANGLO-AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.—In the case of Pigott v. the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, Vice- Chancellor Stuart dismissed the petition praying for leave to examine the defendants' cable, &c. His Honour ob served that inspection, though granted more frequently in equity than at common law, was, nevertheless, a matter of discretion. The plaintiff's provisional specification was for a cable, and nothing more. Portions of the plain tiff's and of the defendants' cable had been exhibited, and the difference between them was complete. No one could pretend to say that the construction of the defendants' cable was an infringement of the plaintiff's cable. WESTON'S Music HALL—In the Court of Bankruptcy, Mr. Weston, the late proprietor of the Music Hall in Holborn, came up for his examination. His preliminary list of creditors returr.2 unsecured debts of £5,033, and security for the further sum of about £5,000 is held in the shape of mortgages upon the Bedford Arms. The failure was ascribed by the bankrupt to pressure by creditors and falling off of business. The examination was adjourned till the 9th of November. STRANGE ACTION FOR SLANDER.—An action for slander was brought at the Guildford Assizes by Mr. Francis George Hare against his brother Augustus Hare, under most singular circumstances. The plaintiff and the defendant were both sons of the late Mr. Hare, barrister, who died in 1841, leaving a large fortune to be divided amongst his family. The plaintiff was formerly in the Guards, and lived a life of gaiety, during which he wasted a good deal of his money. Mrs. Hare and her daughter during an absence on the Continent became Roman Catholics, and the plaintiff subsequently embraced the same faith. The sister died in May 1866, and it then appeared that some speculations 'into 'which she bad entered were unsuccessful, and consequently she was not worth so much as was anticipated. Before her death this lady made a will under which the plaintiff became entitled t' some property, and soon after the demise of the sister the defendant wrote a letter to Mrs. Montgomery, a lady holding a high position, and related to Lord Leconfield, stating that there were rumours about as to what had occurred at the death-bed of his sister, and to the disposition of her property, and that for some time before her death his sister would not see plain tiff, and that she shrieked when his name was mentioned. It was also represented that the sudden death of his sister ought to be cleared up. It was ultimately settled that all imputations against the plaintiff should be withdrawn, and a verdict for 201, and costs given by the jury. DAMAGES ron ASSAULT. —At the same assizes the cause of Walker v. the South• Eastern Railway Company was disposed of. The plaintiff, an assistant to a surgeon; was with a friend at Gravesend, and on returning it was attempted to place some drunken persons in the same carriage ; but this the plaintiff objected to, and an alterca- tion took place between him and some of the officials. Upon arriving at London Bridge a dispute took place between the same officials and some other passengers, and on the plaintiff's coming up he was knocked down and kicked. On rising ho struck one of the officials in the face, and for that offence was committed to the Surrey Sessions, where the jury acquitted him. The jury now gave £l7O damages for the assault, but refused to award anything for the false imprisonment. CHARGE OF KILLING A BOY.—At the Hammersmith Police-court, Charles Lovejoy and Edward Allen, boys about 14 years of age, were placed in the dock on a charge of causing the death of another boy, name un known, by shooting him in the head. It seems that the prisoners were at Wormwood Scrubs, and a sergeant in a rifle corps gave the prisoner Allen his rifle, which was loaded, to take care of. Soon afterwards Allen put a-cap on the nipple, and the other prisoner said, " You dare not fire it." Allen, tc shew that he dare do so, fired the gun, and shot another boy who was close at hand in the ear, killing him instantaneously. It transpired that tho pri- Boners had been informed that the gun was loaded. They were both remanded. We have authority for announcing that Mr. R. W. Rawson, C. 8., now Governor of the Bahamas, West Indies, has been appointed to be Governor-in• Chief of the Windward Islands ; aid that Mr. John Scott, formerly Llen'enant-Governor of Naal„ tp tmcce4 Mr. Rawson at the Bal amass THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1868. CATHOLIC EDUCATION FUND• The following is the second report of the Westminster Diocesan Education Fund, re cently issued by the Archbishop of West minster : There is, however, one drawback with regard to the ultimate benefit of the work, viz., the great work of kind and judicious supervision when the children leave the school. Many of them are orphans, without a friend in the world ; others have bad homes in either case, if a girl from any cause (and very often it is not her own fault) leaves the situation where she has been placed, having no friend to whom she can turn, her only alternative is to enter a low, cheap lodging-house, where she is im mediately exposed to bad companionship and to all the nameless evils which follow in its train. If some ladies from charity would look after such girls, and thus assist in or undertake this portion of the work, they would be instru mental in preserving many young souls most dear to the Sacred Heart of Jesus." 3. Poor-Law Schools. (1.) Under this head may be classed S. Mary's Orphanage at North Hyde, inasmuch as it is certified under the Poor-Law Board for the reception of boys from Workhouse and District Schools, although it also receives boys of other classes. The School contains 170 boys. The late Vicar-General, the Very Rev. Canon O'Neil, whose long life of good works has endeared his memory to the diocese at large, bestowed on this school his special care. It may be said that through him it has been raised from a state of less than inefficiency to a high point of excel lence, in good order, peace, and health. It was he who introduced into the school the Brothers of Mercy, and to their kind, wise, and patient care, the present satisfictory state of the school is immediately to be ascribed. One of Canon O'Neal's last acts was to build another wing to the school, capable of receiv ing 100 additional boys. In the new building are two large and excellent dormitories, with complete ventilation. The work was executed from the designs of Messrs. Willson and Nicholl, and has been thoroughly well done. The cost amounted to £2,100, of which £l,OOO has been contributed by the Diocesan Education Fund. In November last a full set of brass instru ments was provided for the school; and in the last fewmonths a full band has been trained, which has already attained great proficiency. The moral and religious state of the school is highly to be commended. (2.) St. Mary's, Walthamstow. This school, for girls, transferred from Workhouse and District Schools, is capable of receiving about 100 children. It contains, at this moment, only 25. The cause of this is to be found in the unjust conduct of those who detain our poor Catholic children in the Pro testant District Schools. Year by year, till our patience is wearied, we have striven to obtain the bare justice due to our Catholic poor. Year by year, Bills have been intro duced into Parliament, and either mutilated at last, or thrown over to another session. It is right here to say that from the late and present presidents of the Poor-Law Board, and from their officials, we have met with the most kind and equitable treatment ; and also that the Guardians of the Strand Union, of Chelsea, Fulham, and of St. Giles's, have manifested an equitable and kindly disposition. The children at Walthamstow are in every way in a very satisfactory condition. No one who has not watched the children received from the 'Protestant district schools can conceive the profound mental and spiritual injury suf fered by our poor Catholic children, When they are released at an early age, they more easily regain the practice and spirit of their faith ; but in many cases, and almost always in the case of those who are grown to a certain age, the difficulty of training them back to the practice of their religion is very great. (3.) St. Helen's School, Brentwood. This most interesting work, for boys under seven years of age, has been formed by the generosity of Miss Tasker, to whose charity the diocese and the poor already owe so much. On the transfer of the first set of boys from the Strand Union School to North Hyde, it was found that some were too young for the Orphanage, and some almost infants. It was necessary, therefore, to provide a school ex clusively for boys under seven years of age. This has been completed, under the care of the Very Rev. Canon Kyne, at Brentwood, in a building enlarged and adapted to the purpose, on the land immediately adjoining the church and presbytery. 4. IV-oat-certified Schools. (1.) Elizabeth House, Hampstead, under the Sisters of Providence of the Immaculate Conception. The school contains 20 orphan girls. The zealous community have lately, by their own efforts, and on their own responsibility, purchased a freehold property consisting of house and grounds, for the extension of their work. (2.) S. Elizabeth's Home for Poor Children, attached to the Franciscan Convent, Portobello road, Bayswater. The Franciscan Sisters have built upon their own land a house capable of holding 80 poor children, o f whom they will undertake the management. The building is roofed in, and will be completed, it is hoped, by the Feast of S. Francis in next October. The Sisters, by collecting in the diocese, have already raised £1,600. A further sum of £370 is required for the cost of the new building. This amount they have received partly from the charity of the faithful and partly from the generosity of those who, though not united with us in all things, have shown a kind and ready will to help them in this good work. lII.—In the Report of last year we pub lished Pupil Teachers. In r ud 22 schoolmasters have a scheme for the encouragement of t c h e r e t i c fi o c u a r t s e e d ofM theaste asters e a a received a grant of £2ll Bs. 2d., and 16 pupil teachers have received £B5. The importance of this application of the Diocesan Education Fund is very great, and will be fully appre ciated by all who have watched the vicissitudes of our education in the last twenty years. From the letter of the Principal of S. Mary's Training College, it will be seen that, at the examination of the pupil teachers this year, out of 38 candidates, 7 were placed in the first class and 18 in the second. This satis factory result may be in a great measure ascribed to the prudence of the Poor School Committee in forming the preparatory class. Lastly; a suin of £331 18s. 3d. has been given in miscellaneous grants, towards the maintenance, clothing, and education of desti tute children. In our efforts to provide for individual cases of destitute children, we especially need the help of all charitable persons ; and we are the more encouraged to ask it by the knowledge, that in the year before last many responded to the appeal we then made. Instances, too, are known to us of persons who secretly, out of their small means, and it may be truly said out of their poverty, with much self-denial undertook to maintain a poor child in some of our schools, and continue to do so to this day. We would earnestly invite all who have the power to do the same ; and to encourage their children to learn betimes the happiness of denying themselves for the poor, and of caring for the salvation of souls, by under taking, either singly, or by uniting together with others, to maintain a destitute child. IV.—ln bringing this report to an end, we cannot refrain from saying that the work of education vital at all times, is even more urgent now. It is certain that systems of education will be hereafter tried, and perhaps forced upon the country, which will render all our efforts to maintain a pure Christian and religi ous education all the more imperatively neces sary. The people of England in all their divi sions are, nevertheless, to a great extent, agreed in regarding the union of religion and education to be essential. They still believe that education must develope not the intel ligence only, but the conscience And the will ; that this cannot be done by instruction alone ; and that it can be done only by Christianity pervading the whole training of the chilli and the whole discipline of the school. Cathoics, of all men, are bound by every principle and by every instinct cf their faith to this obvious truth. But holding it, we must act upon it. We must show that we mean what we say, by doing what we declare to be necessary. If we be negligent or slack, we shall have only ourselves to blame, when the relentless ad vance of secular education and local rating shall hereafter pass over us. We began our report by rejoicing over the great and steady growth of numbers in our schools. We must end it by an expression of profound anxiety for the thousands of our poor children who as yet are perishing in the streets. Every day brings ns evidence of the multi tudes who for want of training are lost. May God so awaken us to this terrible havoc of souls, and of our poor innocent little ones, that we never relax or give ourselves rest till, by an effort persevering and wide-spread through out London, we shall have gathered the last of our poor children under the influence and guidance of a thorough Catholic education. There remains but one other topic. At the beginning of this fund many engaged their generous assistance for three years, some for five, some for more. We enter now on our third year. At the end of it our income will be reduced by one-half. But in the last two years our work and our liabilities have been greatly increased. We earnestly pray, for the love of God and of souls, that you renew your subscriptions for another three years. A little self-denial, a trifling privation, will be enough to enable most of you to do so with ease. Happier for you if it cost you some sensible denial of yourselves for the sake of our Divine Master. Deal generously with Him, and He will not be outdone in generosity. Your offer ings will return upon you and yours a hundred fold in every good gift of grace, and in the eternal reward of His kingdom. HOUSEHOLD SUFFRAGE AND THE ANGLICAN ES7ABLISHMENT. From the old Parliament, on the eve of dissolution, the minds of men in hope or fear are turned to the new ; some regret the consti tuencies created by the Reform Act of 1832, others contemplate with joy the prospects of more vigorous action from household suffrage. The Reform Bill of 1832 was undoubtedly a revolution in the constitutional balance ; it weakened the power of the Crown, of the House of Peers, and of the Anglican Establish ment, and it threw the governing power prac tically into the hands of the middle classes. This balance, disturbed by the Reform Bill of 1832, will, as it seems to us, be in a mea sure readjusted by household suffrage ; the larger admission of the Democratic element into the franchise will indirectly increase the power of the landed interests and of the great employers of labour. Middle-class predomi nance, exclusively represented under the Re form Bill of 1832, and destined to perpetua tion by Mr. Gladstone's "hard and fast line," is rendered next to impossible by household suffrage. The masses of the people admitted to the franchise are more open to influences, good or evil, than a class so self-sufficient and so exclusive as that from which the new Re form Bill has wrested the supreme power. The question to be considered is, and it is an exceedingly grave one, How are the masses to be influenced for good ?—how are the evils to which Democracies are prone to, in every country and in every age, to be averted ? Com munism, war, revolution, are the disturbing elements in a State where power is confided exclusively to the hands of the people, but in a nation like England, where ancient institu tions and time-honoured traditions are deeply rooted—where hereditary monarchy snd a vigorous aristocracy flourish, the admission of the people to a larger share of power is not likely to produce the mischief predicted of pure Democracies. There is danger, undoubt edly, and more especially on account of the almost entire absence, in the labouring classes of England, of religion, the great promoter of order and of the stability of States ; but it is a danger which exists, whether the people be excluded from political power or not. To treat them as the outcasts of society is to make them so; to put confidence in them may be one step towards reconciling them to reli gion. One thing, however, is evident, that this conversion to Christianity of the masses of the working people admitted by the new Reform Bill to a large share in the govern ment of the country cannot be effected by the Anglican Establishment. Between the Esta blishment and the people there is no sympathy, no point of contact ; Anglicanism is the reli gion of the respectable classes ; it does not de mand much from them nor give much in re turn beyond the stamp of respectability. It allows as great a latitude in faith as in practice. With the least possible inconvenience, the sacrifice of two hours once a week, and on occa sions a handsome subscription or two, men may pass their lives as honoured members of the Established Church, and on their death be entitled to a decent funeral And to a lauda tory headstone in a conspicuous position of a country graveyard. Now, such a religion—of course, we are speaking of Anglicanism proper, not of Ritual ism in any of its shapes of Catholic develop ment—has not hinc , in common with the work ing classes. How they are to be converted is another question, which we cannot enter into here ; but at least so much is certain that in a Parliament, in which the voice and feelings of the masses of the people of Great Britain and Ireland find a response or exercise an influence, the Established Church, whether in Ireland or in England,. is doomed. It has struck no roots into the soil ; it is an exotic which flourishes in the hothouse of social influence ; it is true to its original seed—Royal favour. As long as the middle class were in the exclu sive enjoyment of political power, the Anglican Church was sure to flourish, for it was closely connected by interest, by tradition, by family ties, by property with this large and influential class. It had gradually collected around it also many sympathies—a little of the moss of antiquity was visible here and there at the foot of its walls, in retired corners and pleasant nooks of the country. In the golden age of English literature the Anglican Church was enriched with an accidental glory, in the same way as it is still indebted for many of its most sacred reminiscences to a liturgy not its own, and to ancient cathedrals and village churches• raised for a worship which, in its pride, it denounced as alien. But what avail are mere reminiscences, decaying traditions, or class-interests to a Church which does not possess the hearts of the people, and has lost its hold on the intellect of the country? With out roots in the soil, can it Stand for an instant against the wrench of the popular will ? Like a tree whose roots have been cut, it may wither for awhile above the ground, but the day is no longer distant when its remains will be carted away. And shall we regret the disappearance of this great heretical Establishment, though under its ruins the remnants of unadulterated Protestantism remain, or more hideous forms of error spring up ? Why should we do so, for is it not itself the breeder of heresies ? Is it not sacrificing to the spirit of infidelity in its own ranks, and to the intellectual unbelief of the day, the fragments of the Christian faith it long held as divine ? 'Whether the Parliament of household suffrage be destined to work out good or evil in the country, this much at least is certain, that it will not long endure that the Anglican Establishment, the Church of a class, shall enjoy the rights of a National Church. Freed from the shackles of an Establishment which they loathe, and from a position which is degrading to them, the Ritualists will gradually but surely find their way home to the Catholic Church, the sole representative of dogmatic truth in the country. At the removal of this ancient adver sary, at all events a clearer field will be opened to the Catholic Church, and she, brought once more face to face with the nation so long estranged from her presence, will know how to reconcile the masses to the doctrines of a lost Christianity.—Westminster Gazette.

To THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF THE DIOCESE : I.—Last year we were greatly encouraged in the work of providing for the education of our poor Catholic children in London, by the fact, that in the first twelve months after the founding of the Diocesan Education Fund, more than 1,000 children had been added to the actual attendants of our schools. It is with a still greater thankfulness, and a still stronger confidence of success in this work, that we are able this year to state a further in crease, making in the two years a total of at least 2,000 children brought under Catholic education. The number of children in actual attendance at our schools at the last Diocesan Inspection was 13,146. The number of children on the school books is 19,805. This latter number represents the total of children, of whom some account may be given. It must be remembered, however, that only those who are in actual attendance in the schools can be said. to be under education. Those whose names are on the books may be said to be so far known to their pastors ; but they cannot be said to be educated. Too often they rarely are seen in the schools after entering their names. Very often their attend ance is so irregular that they hardly learn even to read. Nevertheless, being so far under the eye of the clergy, they may be watched over, and by persevering efforts brought at last to attend the schools with regularity. In this class of children the zeal and activity of our laity will find an ample field of labour. Taking, then, the total number of children who are so far known to us at 19,805, we may estimate, at least approximately, the number of children who are withdrawn from our sight. Assuming, as we did two years ago, that the number of Catholic poor children in London who ought to be at school is 30,000, there will remain at least 10, of whom we can give no account. The number of Poor Schools in the Diocese may be stated at 168. Of these many are of size and capacity to hold more than are actually in attendance ; but in many parts of London new schools at shorter distances, and more con veniently placed, are needed. In the last two years twenty-two new schools have been founded. If in every two years hereafter we can con tinue to gather 2,000 children into our schools, in a period of ten or twelve years there would remain few Catholic children in London of whom we should not be able to render a satisfactory account. We earnestly, then, re new to you our pressing invitation and exhorta tion to make fresh and persevering efforts for this most necessary work; and never to slacken your exertions and your self-denial until every Catholic child in the diocese shall be not only provided with education, but shall be actually attending our schools. The report of the Diocesan Inspector gives us a further encouragement. It shows that our schools are advancing in quality and effi ciency. Hitherto it must be acknowledged that our boys' schools have not attained, with certain exceptions, to any very high standard. Our girls' school, being extensively under the direction of Religious, have been of a far higher character, and many of them of remark able excellence. Every. day is raising the de mand for better education among the Catholics of London. The schools which ten years ago were sufficient in quality for our Catholic chil dren are so no longer. Not only the class imme diately aboye the poor, but among the poor also, the more intelligent parents are no longer content with the ordinary Mission Schools. In many cases they prefer to pay for the educa tion of their children at higher schools ; and in not a few instances in schools which are not our own. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, that nothing should be left undone to raise the standard of efficiency in our edu cation ; and this does not mean by introducing subjects or books above the state and calling Of our children, but by the training and en couragement of thoroughly efficient teachers. To this a part of the Diocesan Education Fund has been applied, as will be stated hereafter. 11. We will now give a brief statement of the several classes of our Diocesan Schools ; under which head are included certified Re formatory, Industrial and Poor-Law Schools, as well as orphanages and other schools for the education and maintenance of destitute children. 1. Reformatory School, Brook Green, Hammer smith. The number of boys detained in the school on December 31st, 1867, was 136. This institution has maintained its good order and moral efficiency. During the twelve years since it was founded, the Brothers of Mercy have conducted this school in a truly exemplary manner. Notwithstanding the narrowness of the house and grounds, the school is healthy. But it is most desirable that a house with some acres of land should be found for it, at a short distance from Lon don, and yet near enough for the carrying on of the baking, which has been an important source of support to the school. To this our attention will at once be turned ; and we hope next year to be able to announce the transfer of the Reformatory School to a new and fitting place. 2. Industrial Schools. (1.) St. Nicholas's Industrial School, Manor House, Little Ilford. This school was among the last and most cherished works of our lamented Cardinal. The house and grounds in which it begun at Walthamstow were sufficient only for seventy boys, which number was fixed by the inspector as the limit. Nevertheless, the number of committals was so great that, with the cer tainty of speedy removal in view, permission was obtained to receive as many as possible; and though they were inconveniently crowded together, no illness or other ill consequence resulted. We announced last year that a very valuable freehold property had been purchased at Little Ilford in Essex, for St. Nicholas's School. The manor house is a solid building in perfect repair, which originally cost in erection £12,000 ; and it has nearly seven acres of land and gardens attached to it. A new building, containing dormitories, work shops, refectory, and other rooms, has been added. The whole establishment, which is now capable of holding 220 boys, has been thoroughly and carefully adapted for the use of the school. Outbuildings and a fives-wall have been completed. The purchase and pre paration of the property has been effected by the care and personal attention of Monsignor Searle, who has during the last few weeks moved the boys from Walthamstow into their new home, to which he has transferred also his own residelide ; and until the chaplain could be appointed, he undertook also the spiritual charge of the school. The boys now in the school are 180 in number. (2.) St. Margaret's Industrial School, Finchley. This Industrial School for girls was re moved in the year 1866 from Queen Square. By the erection of a very humble but conve nient chapel of wood, room has been obtained for an additional number. It contains at this time sixty-two children. The improvement in the school since its removal to Finchley is very marked ; and the conduct and progress of the children is highly satisfactory. We subjoin an extract from a letter of the super intendent of this school, earnestly beseeching the help of charitable persons in watching over the poor children who, after their term is com pleted, pass from the school once more into the dangers of London. We must urgently press this upon the zeal of the faithful : " God's blessing has most visibly rested on the work ; for no mere human efforts could have wrought so manifest a change in the minds of the children, as well as in their out ward conduct and their general improvement. C. GOLDEN HOFFMAN. This missionary of the American Episcopal Church was born in New York City, -Dec. 15, 1819, and died in harness on the 25th Nov., 1865, at the Orphan Asylum, Cape Palmas, Liberia. The me moir of his life is written by his intimate friend the Rev. George Townshend Fox of Durham, with a preface by the Bishop of Carlisle, and putting aside the bias natural under such circumstances enough remains to show that the missionary's life might well be held up for example. The fault of such works is the too diffuse expression given to the daily feelings, which cannot fail to be a repetition, and to weary the general reader, although we can understand how deep may be the interest to some minds, in furnishing them with a means of compa rison. More than half the book is thus occupied, the extracts being taken from Mr. Hoffman's diary and from letters to his mother. The real interest to the world in the biography is the description and account of his labours in Western Africa. He sailed from Baltimore for Liberia on the 2 Ith Febru ary, 1849, accompanied by his fellow-student the Rev. J. Rambo. Both had studied for the ministry at the Alexandria Theological Seminary, Virginia. Liberia had its origin in the desire of some Ameriean citizens, in 1816, to place the free negroes of America on the soil of their ancestors, away from the scorn they endured in the United States, with a field for enterprise, with scope for self-government and improvement, cherishing the hope, through them, of evangelizing Africa. The territory extends along the coast from 4 deg. 15 min. to 7 deg. north latitude. Although it was unconnected with the Government, President Mon roe took a deep interest in the scheme, and was enabled to aid it by the ships of war employed in the suppression of the slave trade. He established the depot for liberated slaves in Liberia, and the capital of the colony was named after him, Mon rovia. In the infancy of the settlement a governor was appointed, but in 1845 the progress made enabled it to organize a rule independent of the Colo nization Society in Washington, which was formed upon the model of the Republic, with a President, Senate, and Chamber of Representatives, a fun damental condition being that the members were to be of negro blood. The first President was J. J. Roberts, who, for some years previously, had been governor. The term is for two years, but the in cumbent is eligible for re-election. The land has been chiefly acquired by purchase from the tribes, but disputes regarding boundaries have led to wars with the natives. In 1819 the population consisted of 250 emigrants from the United States, and it is now upwards of 18,000. A colony, independent of Liberia, was formed at Cape Palmas, 250 south of Monrovia, but being compelled to apply to Liberia for assistance in a war against the natives in 1856, during Mr. Hoffman's mission, Maryland . (the name of the new settlement) was annexed to Liberia, the colony being then divided into the four counties—. Mesurado, Bassa, Siam, and Maryland. The line of coast now claimed by the Republic from Cape Mount to Kabla on the flora river, extends 300 miles, but these points do not confine its limits. Taking the coast line with the parallel one 100 miles inland, there will be found 50 aboriginal tribes, with a population estimated at 3,000,000. The Cape Palmas mission commenced in the year 1836, and derived its origin from the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, founded in the United States in 1826 by members of the Episcopal Church. This was succeeded in 1835 by a Board of Missions formed by the General Convention, with two stand ing committees, the one to administer foreign affairs, the other the domestic departments. The ' board proved lees pniect in practice than in theory, and the Domestic Committee was superseded in ' 1860 by a Voluntary Society. The Foreign Com mittee retained the confidence of its friends, and therefore still remains. Recently a Church Missionary Society has been organized in the United States, but it was under the Foreign Committee of the Board of 'Missions that the Episcopal Church was established in Liberia. At the call of Dr. Milner, Dr. Savage and the Rev. John Payne ' proceeded to the colony, the former in 1836 and the latter a few months afterwards, where he has continued for upwards of thirty years. Bishop Payne says that on his first visit to Mount Vaughan he had to pass through jungle up to the unfinished mission premises, which, when about to reach, his horse sank to the middle in a morass, and it was not long before a leopard seized a dog, and a boa constrictor killed another; antelopes were seen in the paths, and monkies sported in the trees, the natives being as wild as the beasts. They lived in huts of the humblest character, their food was rice and cassada, seasoned with palm butter. Marriage hardly existed ; polygamy and the grossest immo rality prevailed. The clothing, both of men and women, consisted of a strip of cloth round the loins. There are many separate tribes speaking different languages and dialects. It was among these people that Colder Hoffman landed on the sth April, 1849. He alludes to them as never having seen men of finer appearance ; tall and athletic, limbs beau tifully rounded, and intelligence marked on their features. "Is this the race," thought I, " compared to the beast, and next to the monkey ; not a man on board can compare to them." On reaching the shore he describes Monrovia as a village generally built of wood, though a few houses were of stone, rising one above another, scattered irregularly, with streets covered with grass, abundance of shrubbery and trees, with the palmetto, cocoa nut, pau-pau, palm, &e. Cabbages were growing in ill-dressed garlens from two to four feet high, and pine-apples and orange trees. Natives passed to and from with wicker baskets rudely made on their heads with cassada. The cows, dogs, sheep, goats, calves, and poultry, were sleek and fine-looking, brisk, and frolicsome. The cows, though small, were graceful as deer, with short hair, smooth and long horns. The sheep have hair like goats, but they are nearly as large as those in America. The dis tinction between the sheep and goats amused him ; the one with ears and tail down, and the other with ears and tail up. Up to May 3, a month after he landed, he says the thermometer had not been higher than 83 deg., and it was seldom lower than 75. Mr. Hoffman spoke of a grey-headed man he had seen in a village inland, whose grandfather was alive, and this speaks well for the climate of the interior, much of which is mountainous. In 1850 Mr. Hoffman returned to Norfolk, Vir ginia, where he married Miss Virginia Hale, and on the 21st December he and his wife sailed for Liberia. His station was Cavalla, 12 miles east of Cape Palmas. His wife took an active part in his duties, which about this time were greatly in creased through Mr. Payne's recall to America to be consecrated bishop after 15 years' service. His first work was to erect a new stone church, for which and a school he had raised a sufficient sum in the United States, one of the main objects being to teach the youth so as to fit some for the mis sionary work of carrying the gospel through the country. In 1855 Mr. Hoffman gave an interest ing report of the progress in Africa to the Church at home. He then said, "We have arrived at that desirable and very important point in the history of all missions when a native agency has been raised up ; when men of the soil have be-. come the ministers and teachers of their own people." Mrs. Hoffman's first child was born in 1853, and it was found necessary at the close of the year for her to recruit in the bracing climate of her native land. Coiden Hoffman, therefore, returned to America via Rio, where he remained till May, .1855, when he left Norfolk, on his third visit to Western A frica, and took up his residence at Rocktown, Cape Palmas. Before the end of the year, both the child and her mother expired, and it is in such a bereave ment that the strength of the influence which EUS tained Colden Hoff man is best seen. It is almost impossible to conceive a position more deso late than when on the wild shore of Africa, surrounded by the savage tribes it was his mission to civilize, bereft at a stroke of his wife and child, he stood alone in the Orphan Asylum at Cape Palmas, where he himself was des tined to end his days. His loss only spurred him more devotedly to his task. " You -ask," he wrote, " dear mother, if I will leave my work. Oh, no ! I have no idea of this. Duty'S path is always the right one, and the happy one and it is clearly my duty to remain while the labourers are so few and the work so extended, my health so good, and God's grace so abundant." He founded a station on Hoff man River, named after a resident in Baltimore, who took a deep interest in the Maryland Coloni zation Society, but the station received its name by Bishop Payne from himself, the names being simi lar through a singular coincidence. In 1858 Colden Hoffman was married, at St. Mark's Church, Cape Palmas, by Bishop Payne, to Miss Caroline M. Hogan, one of the three ladies who bad pro ceeded to Africa the previous year to strengthen the mission. Finding a change of air ne cessary after his long continued labours in the treacherous and enervating climate of *West Africa, he proceeded to England in 1859, when the author had the pleasure of receiving him under his roof after a separation of many years, and he returned to Africa by way of America, bidding his mother a last farewell before landing in Liberia ill 1861. The duties of a missionary in Africa are far from confined to preaching the Gospel, branching into every variety of subject. One of the objects which had earnestly attracted Mr. Hoffman's attention was the foundation of an hospital at Cape Palmas, the corner stone of which was laid on St. Mark's Day, 1859, whence its name of St. Mark's Hospit s al. We believe this work has proved of great utility alike to colonists and natives, and to sailors on the coast. The missionary labours of Colden Hoffman were not confined to the stations he founded, but embraced wide tours into the interior of the country, generally performed on foot, and up and down the coast. Our space does not admit of our following more fully this excellent man in hit labours, and we can merely state that after his return from one of these tours he was taken ill, and notwithstanding the tenderest nursing of his wife, his strength, exhausted by the climate, succumbed, and he died at the Orphan Asylum, on the 25th November, 1865. The news of his death weal dismay through the colony, and produced an outburst of sorrow, such as has rarely been witnessed in any community ; but his name will be treasured in Liberia, more esp2cially at Cape Palmas, as the pioneer in that African wilderness, the faithful sol dier and servant of Jesus Christ. Those who have most widely traversed bar barous lands are best able to judge the missionary's work as a civilizing agency. We desire to be clearly understood in our assertion, that it has everywhere been found almost the only means of reclaiming the savage. This is often disputed, because the vast mass of those capable of forming an opinion have seen but one side of the question. A man who proceeds from highly civilized lands like England or America to settlements where missionaries have long been at work may detect much theft and immorality, more especially where a sprinkling of white traders and sailors are settled among the natives. He is apt to judge from this that Christianity is there a mere pro- , fession, and to maintain that it has effected nn radical reform, and has had little elevating influence. But the man is not qualified to pronounce an opinion until he has seen the natives among whom no missionaries have worked. Then it is that be begins to realize the value of their labour, and to mete out to these pioneers of civilization the high award, he can in his heart give, though hitherto withheld. Nor is the benefit of such a career as that_ of Colden Hoffman confined to the actual good he accomplishes in life, however vast iu its quiet, 0' pretending way that may be, for it tells more forcibly than men can readily believe, as an example, as a u elevating influence, and as a spur to others. 11 1 the presence of such a career the infidel is silen t the shaft of ridicule is like a child's pop-gnn agains t the ironside of a Monitor—it merely raises a sen se of the ridiculous against the person who attempts to fire it. If Christianity can be disgraced by 03 shortcomings of its professors, surely it can be ele vated in the eyes of those who so argue by t he devotion and self-sacrifice of men like Colden Elo man ; and where in the history of creeds have su eu missionaries as he gone forth ? From the days °f St. Paul to those of a Colden Hoffman, expiri n g on the lonely hill overlooking the broad ocean whi ch separated him from his country, the blood of mar" tyrs has sanctified the religion of Christ. Other re ligions have produced fierce enthusiasts, who cram' med their tenets down the throats of people at the point of the sword. But where can we look for men. formed after the likeness of Christ except a 3 the offspring of the doctrines he taught? Bright among these will be the story of C. Golden Hillman , which will be told in Liberia by coming gener a : tions of negroes as of one of the true founders of their national existence, who gave away his life ill , the effort to gather them into the community n' Christians countries, and render free i ns titution s . and self - rule durable, among e v en the despised O a down-trodden children of Ham.—Anglo-Anteric as Tones.
