Medcy • ACY egg • nig MUM LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 18G8. The debate on the Irish Church began last night in an appropriate style, and was carried on with spirit throughout, Mr. HARDY moving the adjourn ment. If an abundance of words could convince or overawe an assembly, Mr. GLADSTONE would cer tainly have succeeded to the utmost of his wishes, but the far shorter speech of Lord STANLEY was much more impressive, and greatly to the point. Of course, Mr. GLADSTONE was sure to make an impression on the House whatever he said, and therefore the cheers which greeted his oration can not be taken as a sure sign that his arguments were convincing and his exhortations fully successful. The real objection to the propositions of the right hon. gentleman is that he has chosen a very un fitting time for urging it forward. There is no possible reason to give which can show the necessity for adopting such a course now, and during his long speech he certainly failed to justify himself for so doing. Lord STANLEY remarked very truly that " during the debate party-feeling would be sure to run high, and every a`,tempt would be made and every artifice employed to place upon a false issue the question to be decided, therefore it is very necessary to keep facts as plainly as possible before us." We do not see how this very abstruse and complicated matter could have been put before the House better or more clearly than it was by Lord STANLEY, and he was particularly impressive in showing the absurdity of those who declared that the Government should have met the Resolutions with a direct negative. Another point of great im portance in the noble lord's speech was the decided way in which he had dealt with the Resolutions themselves, showing them to be very vague and uncertain. It is true that Mr. GLADSTONE spoke out rather more plainly in proposing them, but then, as Lord STANLEY said, the House was not called upon to discuss the speech of the right hon. gentleman, but the Resolutions themselves as they stood. In fact, as he put it, it " was preposterous to call upon them to affirm a proposition which, so worded and framed as that, those who support it will not be able to agree as to what is the great principle which they have been asserting, or the practical result at which it is likely to arrive." Disestablishment is not disendowment, and yet Mr. GLADSTONE would infer that it is. It is of consequence to notice that Lord STANLEY did not stand forth as the unflinching advocate of the present system as it stands, for, on the contrary, he said, very decidedly, that not one educated per son in a hundred would contend that the Irish eccle siastical arrangements are satisfactory as they stand, and that he certainly should not be that one; but that is very different from affirming that it is exp3dient or desirable at once to uproot the present system, and at so inopportune a time too. Nothing shows more clearly the undue haste which has actuated Mr. GLADSTONE than the fact that he has not yet had time or opportunity to complete his work, but leaves it unfinished, and in the most abrupt man ner imaginable presents it to the scrutiny of the House. The real perplexity of Parliament for the last thirty years has been to settle what should be done with the endowments if the present application be altered, and yet the right hon. gentleman who persists in pressing forward to enlighten the House and edify the community, as if he felt the inspira tion of a second DANIEL coming to judgment upon him, absolutely fails when he comes to this part of the question. Well might Lord STAN LEY borrow Mr. COBDEN's famous query to illustrate his meaning, and say, " What next, and next ?" Supposing that the framers of the Resolu tions succeed in getting them into committee, and for legislating this year ; that is physically impos sible, as all must know who have the least glimmer ing of Parliamentary knowledge. As for " pledging the House," that is at all times a rash experiment, but under the peculiar position of affairs that is at present Freposterous. It is well known that a great change is at band, and that the Parliament now sitting must shortly cease to exist, and can never have this question of the Irish Church to deal with. They must remain for the work of a new Parlia ment, which will be elected by a greatly enlarged constituency. " You are," exclaimed the noble lord, " advocating a superfluous measure, designed to secure an insignificant end." As for the .argument that a dying Parliament can, like a dying man, make a will, that is very effectively disposed of by Lord STANLEY, when he says that a dying man can only dispose of what is his own ; and the Le gislature of the future cannot be in the competence of the present House to dispose. As for Earl RUSSELL'S pamphlet, the noble lord was very effective in his criticism of it, especially the passage in which he shows how little faith the Liberal Leader puts in the triumph of Liberal prin ciples when they are submitted to the judgment of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1868. the people ; and adds very appropriately, that it is somewhat strange that Lord RUSSELL should have spent the greater part of his life in seeking to obtain votes for those whom he thinks, when they have the power, willabuse it to so great an extent. The political morality is certainly remarkable which urges upon Parliament to make haste for fear the decision of the people should be against them if they wanted to appeal to them. Above all, other portions of this admirable speech we must mention that in which the noble lord spoke out plainly to the Opposition, and asked them what they wanted, and why they were in such a hurry to determine the matter, pushing aside other business of great importance and more urgent in its character. They could not think that the new Parliament would be either un willing or unfit to deal with the subject. " Then what is it you fear ? Can it be that the apprehen sion entertained on that hand is not that nothing will be done, but that something will be done ?" It is indeed rather hard that for party reasons all this interruption should take place, in order that the Reform question being settled the Liberal party may have a good election cry. Such a course is not unprecedented, says Lord STANLEY. "We have not forgotten the Ap propriation Clause, which is not exactly the brightest page in Whig history, and some may remember the Resolution of June, 1859, framed by the same ex perienced hand, and which ended no doubt in a transfer of power, but ended also in shelving the question of Reform for seven years." The " con scientious change" of opinion looks ill when it occurs too much in connection with the appearance of an " election-cry manoeuvre," but some people are very callous and indifferent in such matters. It really is very extraordinary, and the more we dwell upon it the more inconsistent it seems that the very statesmen who for thirty years have let this question alone now refuse to let an hour's delay occur in recording the opinion of the House upon it, well knowing, as they must do all the time, that no result can follow in a legislative sense if they do succeed. Lord STANLEY may well retort that if Mr. GLADSTONE repeats on the hustings the phrase he used in debate, " Justice delayed is justice denied," common sense may induce some one in the crowd to ask—" If this be justice, by whom has it been delayed? You have bad the power in your hands for twenty-five years, why did you not use it ? Some persons have been wise or witty, or both combined, in criticising Lord STANLEY'S amendment, but he answered the various objections very suc cessfully. As for the Government being bound to meet the challenge of Mr. GLADSTONE by a direct negative, or by the previous question, he disposed of that by saying that either of these courses would not answer their end or rightly interpret their mean ing. They do not wish to imply that at no time must the question of the Irish Church be dealt with. The work of the Session is quite sufficient for the Session, and in answer to those whose haste cannot allow them to wait until their own commission has reported, he says that whenever action is necessary or possible they will be ready to tell how they were prepared to act. The Government wisely refuses to " fetter their own discretion in the future, or interfere with the judgment of a reformed House of Commons by premature propositions or by vague assertions of opinion. That is our position, which we submit with some confidence both to the judgment of the House and of the country." 'This speech of Lord STANLEY'S is most admirable in all respects, and will satisfy all who are not addicted to an exclusive party triumph. It is liberal, while it is not going too far or holding back too much, and it appeals to the good judgment, sound sense, and patriotic spirit of the House of Commons. We hope and ex pect that the result of the delay will be favour able to the Government, and also in accordance with the character of the Legislature. Let us have no factious tricks to mar the credit :of the last session of the old Parliament, and prejudice the cause of truth, honour, and justice, before the new constituencies. Mr. GLADSTONE tried all that the real accomplished master of rhe toric could do, but he failed to show the necessity for his propositions being accepted; and Lord STA N LEY'S speech was the more impressive because it was true, and depended on its success for the sound ness of its views and the force of its arguments. During the debate there may be many more bril liant harangues, but the House will hear none that puts more plainly before it the real question at issue; and it is for hon. members to decide if they will yield their judgment to the dictation of a party faction, and compromise themselves by advocating a course which it is impossible to follow. The news from Abyssinia is, notwithstanding the pressure of more exciting topics of home interest, watched for with eagerness. The progress made is slow, though we may hope sure, and there is a ge neral desire that our troops should move a little faster towards the great object in view. Happily THEODORE does not seem inclined, as some appre hended, to avenge the invasion of his territories on the prisoners. The despatch which we publish to day from Sir R. NAPIER, on March 9, reports that news had been received from the prisoners up to the 17th of February, when all were well. Sir R. NAPIER states that the headquarters and the First Brigade were to march towards Ashangi on the 11th, two days later than the despatch. They expected to reach it on the 16th March. THEO DORE, with his guns and mortars, was on tha table land of Talanta, so that he is evidently preparing for a forcible resistance. Con fident in the success of his big gun, the Abyssinian Monarch, no doubt, believes he can soon dispose of the rash intruders on his peace. Having never en countered Europeans he is, of course, quite unaware of the real difference between the respective forces, and is probably deluding himself into the idea that he can inspire as much terror into the hearts of European soldiers as he does into his own. We must remember that THEODORE'S career has hitherto been remarkably successful. He has fought his way upward, and has achieved victory after victory, so that he has some excuse for his unlimited faith in his own powers, though none for his rapacity and cruelty. It is highly fortunate that he spared the prisoners, and we must hope that the rescue which has cost so much will yet be in time. It would certainly be a satis faction to all parties if the expedition could move a little faster. It seems to ordinary lookers-on at a distance that by this time the advance guard should be at Magdala. Unluckily the arrangements were made in a slow and cumbrous manner, very suitable if the object bad been to retain possession of the enemy's land for a season, or to open a for midable campaign, but since there was only the oue definite purpose of reaching a certain spot as quickly as possible, and releasing from captivity a few in Jivi duals without delay, the length of time that has elapsed since the first troops set foot on Abyssinian soil is certainly disappointing. 1 . Of course the time expended in making roads, &c., over hill and dale must be taken into account, but it will certainly be welcome news in England when the expedition has reached Magdala. If it should be necessary to storm that place our Indian troops will be most valuable. They are well used to such exploits, and would be proud of the oppor, tunity of adding another to their list of triumphs. The health and spirits of the troops are happily ex cellent, and the men who are fortunate enough to be in the front ranks will submit to anything rather than be sent to the rear. With this spirit our men will no doubt carry all before them ; and when once they have a chance of showing what mettle they are made of, King THEOEORE'S belielf in his own invincibility will be somewhat rudely shaken. Lord LTVEDEN appears to have been seized with a sudden panic. He is apprehensive that we are going to war with all the world. Having begun hostilities in Abyssinia, he is afraid that we shall repeat the experiment in another quarter of the globe, and that in the next estimates the Financial Minister of the day will be submit ting his estimates for the cost of dispatching an expeditionary force to South America. Cer tainly Lord LYVEDEN has some ground for this un easiness, since he believes the Abyssinian war to be " one of the most expensive in which this country has ever been engaged." Surely the noble lord must have forgotten a few pages of modern his tory when he made this remarkable as sertion. The notion of England's going to war with the gallant little State of Paraguay, which is fighting for its national independence against such heavy odds, is a most marvellous one, and fortu nately there is no ground for entertaining it. There are, it seems, some Englishmen now in President LOPEZ'S camp, rumour says, detained there against their will, but there is no accurate infor mation respecting them, their number, their wishes, or their occupations. It is fair to add that President LOPEZ, on being questioned on the sub ject, affirmed that there were only six Europeans in the whole State of Paraguay, and t►at these were resident there of their own free will, carrying out a contract with the Government. If this be so, it will be, as Lord MALMESBURY re marked, a question of civil compensation rather than of military interference if such persons are detained beyond the completion of their contract. President LOPEZ is, as we all know, resisting a powerful force ; he is himself blockaded, and there fore not a free agent. He would, too, be naturally unwilling to allow any person to leave his camp, and so run the risk of imparting to the blockaders the information respecting his position and his means of defence, which they are so anxious to gain. Earl GREY expressed the common sense of the question when he said that persons who chose to place themselves in positions of known danger must take the consequences. No man has a right to enter into engagements with a foreign Government in time of war, and then resent his de tention during a siege or a blockade. We have at Paraguay a representative agent, who will, no doubt, watch as far as possible over the interests of his countrymen, and who would cer tainly interfere in case of manifest injustice. At the same time we should decidedly wait for more definite information as to the names, number, and occupation of these Europeans before we even talk about the necessity of armed intervention on their behalf. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, MONDAY, March 30. The rumours of dissolution are still strong. The semi official papers are by no means agreed as to whether this event will come off this year or not ; probably because the Emperor himself has not made up his mind. Certain it is that a Council of Ministers has been held to-day by his Majesty. The Etendard of this evening even announces the result, and says that it has been definitively decided not to dissolve. This may be true—for the present. But it does not follow that the Chamber will be allowed to live out its full term. In truth, the position is very uncertain, and so far as policy goes we live from hand to mouth. It is reported that the Emperor is preparing a manifesto which, while nominally addresssed to M. Rouher, will be really meant for the whole Empire, and be a vindication of the Imperial rule—a rather more suc cessful one, it is to be hoped, than the " Titres" pamphlet. It is also said that M. Pinard, the Minister of the Interior, is drawing up a report to present to the Emperor respecting the state of feeling in the departments towards the new Army Bill. If Napoleon is so fortunate as to have a Minister who dares to speak the truth, this do u-uent will not be written in rose-coloured ink. We hear °Eno more riots ; but only of unfriendly and sulky manifestations. Thus, at La Mure and Grenoble the con scripts sang the "Marseillaise ;" at Marseilles, on Thurs-lay and Friday, the troops were confined to their barracks, but no disturbances took place. What makes the uneasi ness in Ministerial quarters greater is the serious manifes tation of popular ill-will in the neighbourhood of France. The tumults in Belgium, for instance, have been very serious, and in Geneva the working men have made a popular, though peaceful demonstration, complaining of the high price of food and low wages. It must be remembered that Belgians and Genevese are both French in race and lan guage, and their example is likely to be followed in France itself. Altogether, there is good reason for the Emperor to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the state of the country. Another matter has turned up which is exciting some interest. The relations between Prussia and Denmark are said to be very unfriendly, and the semi-official papers give great prominence to the fact. For instance, they tell us that while Prussia is willing to give back only Hader sleben to Denmark, Denmark will give only the same guarantee to Germans living in that country that Prussia will give to Danes living in Germany. This, at all events as represented by the French journals, seems fair enough; but we are told that it does not satisfy Prussia, and that the negotiations will probably he broken off. At the same time we are informed that the Prussian Government has given orders to push on the fortifications of Alsen and Diippet with vigour. It is mentioned also that King Christian is about to pay a visit to London. It is rather a remarkable sign of the times that the Pays—" Journal de l'Empire "par excellence, remark, as it takes care to inform its readers—has just published an article against personal government. Some persons see in this a return to government by responsible Ministers. No doubt they are sanguine. M. Paulin Limayrac, one of the ablest of the Ministe rial journalists, and for many years editor of the Constitu tionnel, has just received the reward of his devotion by being appointed Prefect of the Department of the Lot. He will be succeeded by M. Baudrillart, editor of the Debats and son-in-law of Senator De Sacy. One of our recent American visitors is Mr. Delevan, well-known to temperance men as an early, and earnest advocate of their principles on the other side of the Atlantic. Mr. Delevan's experience does not confirm the idea that intemperance is confined to the working classes. Fifty years ago he was a poor but industrious lad in the city of Albany, and as he grew up his smartness made him a welcome associate of young men who were his superiors in station. About sixty of these young men used to meet at a social club, where spirits (alcoholic) were freely intro duced. One day, as Delevan was hastening to the place of meeting, he was suddenly struck by the thought that many of his companions were evidently going to ruin, and he at once determined he would not again expose himself to the danger they were incurring. On the very spot where this resolution was made and acted upon, there now stands a large building erected by Mr. Delevan, in which he has carried on a successful business as a merchant for many years. In tracing the history of his companions some years after he left them, he found that no fewer than fifty-one had come to a bad end. This experience induced him to become a zealous supporter of the temperance movement. He has recently had an interview with the Emperor for the purpose of laying before him the extent of the evils of intemperance, and the enormous cost and waste arising from the consumption of alcoholic liquors. He told the Emperor that thirty years ago he stood on exactly the same spot before Louis Philippe, who admitted that the vine yards were the curse of France. lam not quite sure whether the Emperor enjoyed this reference to his prede cessor. Mr. Delevan has also had an interview with Lord Lyons, who entered warmly into his views, and said he so far agreed with them that for two years past he had taken no alcoholic liquors at dinner. Ile made coloured water perform the social duties for which it is generally supposed that wine is essential. Mr. Delevan is in excellent spirits when he contrasts the present position of the temperance question with what it was in his earlier days. We have news from Arles that there has been a shock of earthquake there. It lasted two or three seconds, but beyond giving the inhabitants a thorough fright no harm seems to have been clone. The Paris correspondent of the 211Orning Post gives a very gloomy account of the state of France, widely dif ferent from the rose-coloured pictures which used to appear in that journal. Commenting upon the fact that the France of Sunday headed an article with the sensa tional line, " The Revolutionary Agitation," the writer points out what is the real state of the case. The Army Bill is intensely unpopular. If there were the chance of a war, if the Emperor recruited the manhood of France either for aggression or to defend France from her enemies, the people of the country would become soldiers spontaneously. But the elected of the French nation, and his Government, and the Government press, have told the people over and over again, and in every shape and form, that France desires peace, is confident that peace will be maintained, and that if France educates a million and a quarter of her male popu lation to the use of arms, she does so precisely in the cause of peace, and to uphold her prestige at home and abroad. These pacific assertions will not induce young men cheerfully to lose a few of the best years of their life to learn the use of arms, nor will they reconcile industry to the loss of so many useful hands. There are other reasons why Imperial rule is not so popular as it was. Throughout France there are holders of Mexican bonds, and Crddit Mobilier shares, and other securities which give no dividend. These afflictions are attributed to the Government ; so is a bad harvest, so is want of work, so are all disasters in that country. Most of the towns of France have been authori,,l to contract loans, which end in extra taxation on food. When all went well the Emperor was a demi-god, and France forgot how she was governed. Now that a reverse has occurred that is to say, the failure of the Mexican expedition, and its cost, France snubbed by Prussia, sham liberal reforms at home, trade languishing, food dear, and millions of Government patronised securities giving no interest—from these causes France is beginning to wonder if Imperial rule is the best in the world. The Florence correspondent of the Times, writing on the 26th, doubts if it was then possible for Italy to escape a financial catastrophe. He says : " Nothing short of a miracle can save this country from bankruptcy." Even if the new bills should be all voted at once, he considers that it is too late to enable the Government to pay the interest on the national debt. The value of the Church property has been relied upon too much. One member of the Opposition declared that it was suf . d :at to balance the whole of the deficit £32,800,000 ; but Count Cambray-Digny said that after deducting all the charges and encumbrances, it would not realise more than £22,600,000. On this it might be possible to base a credit operation yielding upwards of 80 per cent. ; but first it was indispensable to establish an equilibrium in the Budget for 1869. Even then, according to the Minister's own shewing, he can reckon on only £17,200,000 to meet £32,800,000. This gloomy prospect is somewhat relieved by the telegram stating that the Government have obtained permission, by a majority of 182 to 164, to proceed with the Corn-grinding Bill, having at the same time promised to reduce the naval and military expendi ture by £1,200,000. The Rome correspondent of the Independence Beige says that the Pontifical Government is by no means reassured. It still maintains the state of siege, and carries on the defences without cessation. The utmost precautions were taken to prevent any disturbances on the festival of St. Joseph, the day kept in Southern Italy in honour of Gari baldi rather than in honour of the Saint. But the day passed without any incident, the people contenting them selves with eating the fritters which are devoured on that day in thousands. The late King Ludwig has left 60,000 florins (26,000) a year to his son Luitpold, and 40,000 florins to his son Adalbert. He has bequeathed the Walhalla at Ratisbon to all Germany ; the Temple of Glory at Munich, the Monument of Deliverance near Kilheim, and the other buildings which he posscused, to his grandson and sue• cessor, to whom also lie recommends the care of the Poor. IMPORTANT DECISION AFFECTING CHURCH PATRONAGE. The House of Lords has just delivered judgment in the case of the Bishop of Exeter and the Rev. J. H. Borwell, plaintiffs, v. the Rev. P. C. Marshall, defendant, .n which an important question was decided affecting ecclesiastical patronage. The noble and learned lords present were Lord Chelmsford, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Westbury. The case came before the House in the shape of an appeal from a decision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber affirming a judgment of the Court of Common Pleas in favour of Mr. Marshall. The action was origi nally brought by Mr. Marshall to recover the presenta tion of the rectory of Tregony, of which he was patron, against both the bishop and Mr. Borwell, whom his lord ship had collated to the living. The facts are briefly these. In a vacancy arising in the rectory, Mr. Marshall, as the patron, presented the Rev. John Reid to the benefice, but the Bishop of Exeter declined to institute him, because his testimonials from his late bishop (Man chester) were not " sufficient." Six months having elapsed, Dr. Phillpotts claimed the nomination, and presented Mr. Borwell to the living. Mr. Marshall commenced an action aßinst the bishop, which was tried at the Cornwall Assizes, from which the matter was re mitted to the Court. of Common Pleas. There a verdict was found for Mr. Marshall, and it was con firmed by the Court of Exchequer Chamber. Against this decision the Bishop of Exeter appealed, and the case was heard by the law lords, who were assisted by Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Blackburn, Mr. Baron Pigott, and Mr. Justice Lush. The opinions of the judges having been printed for the guidance of the law lords, their lordships met this morning to consider them. Mr. Justice Blackburn, Mr. Baron Pigott, and Mr. Justice Lush, in their joint opinion, state that their judg ment ought to be for Mr. Marshall, the patron of the living. The decision of Mr. Justice Willes was similar in effect. Mr. Baron Martin also followed the example of his learned colleagues in pronouncing against the bishop. Lord Chelmsford, who was Lord Chancellor when the case was argued, examined at some length the requirements of the canon law with reference to the admission of clerks to benefices. Adverting to the plea of the bishop, he re marked that the right rev. prelate, while refusing to admit the presentee, gave no information of the fact to the patron of the living. If the testimony of the bishop from whose diocese a cler k came were refused, the patron of the living would be at that bishop's mercy, an 1 at the end of six months would lose his right to present, even though all the otherbishops of England signed the pre sentee's testimonials. If a patron presented a clerk to a living, he had a right to have him instituted ; at all events, he was entitled to a notice of the bishop's objections, if only to give him an opportunity of acquiescing in them, and of presenting another clerk if he thought proper. Other wise a bishop might decline to receive a presentee, decline to institute him, and then at the end of six months collate his own clerk. Such a state of things could not be per mitted. He considered that the Bishop of Exeter's appeal must be dismissed, and the judgment of the Court of Exchequer Chamber affirmed. Lord Cranworth entirely concurred in this opinion. The presentee in this case had no power whatever to compel the Bishop of Manchester to give him a testimonial, whatever his character might have been. Lord Westbury, in concurring, held that a bishop objecting to a presentee must state his objectioris in a pre cise and definite manner. This had not been done. The Bishop of Exeter's appeal was then formally dis missed, and his lordship's nominee to the living will be dispossessed. Mr. Marshall will therefore be entitled to present. The agitation on both sides is rapidly assuming very formidable proportions. So far, however, the opponents of the Irish Church are more conspicuous in their demon strations than the supporters of that threatened Establish ment. In many of the principal towns in Scotland resolu tions have been passed in favour of total disendowment. In Ireland a monster petition lies for signature in the Roman Catholic churches. Amongst the towns which have held or are to hold meetings in support of Mr. Glad stone are Newcastle, Kettering, Leeds, Bath, Wigan, South ampton, Devonport, Wakefield, Halifax, Huntingdon, Nottingham, Colchester, Manchester, Preston, Leicester, St. Helens, Walsall, Shrewsbury, Wellingborough, and Hanley. This is not a bad list for one day. It remains to be seen how far it will be swelled before the end of the week. An abstract of the sums required "on account" for the Civil Services for the year ending 31st March, 1869, was published this morning. The amount so wanted is £2,128,000. This bears but a small proportion to the whole of the estimates which the House of Commons will be aske 1 to vote. For in stance, while the total cost of the Irish constabulary is set down at £883,000, barely a quarter of that sum is as yet asked for. Again : while the cost of the national printing and stationery has reached the enormous amount of £396,000, the Secretary to the Treasury wants just £86,000 to satisfy the more urgent demands. There is an increase of £16,000 in the expenses of British embassy houses, of a similar sum for harbours of refuge, of £14,000 for royal palaces, of £B,OOO for public buildings and furniture, of £12,000 for royal parks and pleasure gardens, of nearly £40,000 for the Record Office and the National Gallery, and so on. The heaviest increase is an item of £352,000 for the expenses of the county courts. There are some cases in which a decrease is shewn, but they bear but a small proportion to the augmentations. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce having some time since taken up the question of commercial morality, have determined not to allow the matter to drop. It will be remembered that an influential committee was recently appointed by the Chamber to consider the subject. At the last meeting of the Council that committee presented their report. They distinctly declare that the fullest publicity should be given to all bankruptcies and settlements, not only as regards the fact merely, but also as to the circumstances under which the bankrupt became involved. The creditors should have full powers over the assets. In order to ensure the punishment of fraud, the bankruptcy commis sioner should be invested with power to order the prose. cution of any defrauding debtor, the costs to be taken from the public funds. No bankrupt ought to hold public office. Ante-nuptial settlements should not be valid against creditors should the agreement be unperformed. No post-nuptial settlement should hold against creditors. The principles thus laid down are, many of them, it will be seen, embodied in the Government bill. With regard to the others they will be discussed at a meeting to be held at Liverpool on the Gth of April. It is rumoured that the approaching lioyal marriage at Turin will be graced by the presence of the representatives of three Great Powers. France in the person of Prince Napoleon, the bridegroom's brother-in-law ; Prussia in the person of the Crown Prince ; and Austria—the old antagonist of Italy—in the person of one of th e younger Archdukes. The Florence correspondent of the Liberte mentions that Victor Emmanuel is seriously ill. He has had " a series of attacks of apoplexy which have completely exhausted the patient." The Sangrados have been at their usual work with the lancet, and it is stated that during his life time the King has bled not less than 200 times. Spain is determined to shut herself out from the rest of the world at the very time that she is endeavouring, to borrow money on foreign exchanges. All French, Belgian, English, and American journals arc now excluded from the country, and the prohibition applies even to those puLlica tions which the Legations were in the habit of receiving in virtue of their diplomatic privileges. Thus, we presume that Sir John Crampton, our Minister at Madrid, will not even be allowed to have his copy of the Times unless it is sent to him in .a closed envelope, in which case the postage will be rather a formidable item in the expenses of the Legation. How much longer can this state of things be endured? How much longer will a whole nation con sent to be placed in quarantine by its rulers ; or, which comes to the same thing, consent to have all other nations put into quarantine ? . correspondent writing in the Daily Telegraph from Nice describes the recent ceremonial in connection with the memorial to the late Czarewitch. The villa in which the young prince died was bought by the Russian Govern ment for £24,000, the house was razed to the ground, and on the spot a little oratoire commemoratif has been built. Itis in amost lovelysituation, surrounded by fields of violets and orange groves and olive gardens. The oratoire is a plain little chapel, with a dome reminding one of the old Alhambra Court in the Crystal Palace. Few things are more striking than the sudden passage from the white glare on the steps into this richly-coloured temple. Sumptuous with cloth of crimson and gold before the altar, with varied marbles, with pictures of the saints, with golden ara besques, the whole place is glorified when the sunshine steals through the painted windows, and is now warmed into a ruddy purple, now chastened and subdued into a delicate amber light. The service was conducted by priest and choir in richly-decorated canonicals, without any musical instrument. Midway in the service of con secration, the Czarewitch and some of the clergy and offi cials passed out, and marched in slow procession round the chapel. The young prince's face seemed graver and older, and yet with a more resolute look of will about it, as, after prayer, he again confronted the people. On each of the pillars by the outer gate is an inscription ; on the one it is in Russian characters ; on the other it is simply "4865, Souvenir," LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

MACKEREL.—The Cornish mackerel fishery has been exceedingly prosperous during the fortnight ended on Saturday, and at the several fishing ports, in most of which great distress existed, there is abundant evidence of happy results. The Mounts-Bay fleet have had by far the best luck, but the St. Ives and other boats, including several from the east coast, have also done well. Scores of boats have each week divided from £6 to £lO per man, and in many cases the dividend has reached £l2 and £l5, while some fishermen have received £2O and e'en £25. During the fortnight upwards of 400 tons of mackerel have boon cbspatched from West Cornwall p er rail, the principal part of this extraordinary supply befog forwarded to London and Paris. Prices have ranged from 265. to 365. per six score. The east country boats drive on Sundays, a prac tice which the Cornish fishermen strongly condemn.

In the form of a note to the fourth edition of " Spiritual Wives," a note designed to be read after the book, Mr. Dixon has written the subjoined earnest words of explanation : So many persons have asked me for what is called a " little help" in reading the story told in " Spiri tual Wives," that I am led to offer, by way of final note, a few words on what the author meant to do, and on what he takes to be the moral bearing of the strange facts which it became his duty to set forth. One day, when standing near the Holy Sepulchre, he saw two swarthy penitents start from their knees and fly at each other's throats—knives flashed out from belts, mob rushed against mob, and the holy fane had to be cleared of these worshippers by the Arab guard. " What is it all about ?" he asked a Turk. The grave Oriental smiled :—" No one can tell. The young men are converts and full of pride. Their heads are turned ; they have no longer any habits to curb their zeal ; they would take the life of man, and call their crime the act of God. Pest° l they are mad." At that time he was studying on the spot the first plantation on this earth of a Religion of Love. And here was tragic proof of what spiritual pride and ignorant zeal could make of even a religion of love ! That reflection was the germ of his present book, to which further thought and wider travel have given the actual name and shape. " Spiritual Wives" was a term well known to our old divines, by whom it was used to describe the demons which enter into wandering and corrupted hearts. Bishop Bale, in a famous passage, tells that story of the " three spiritual wives"—namely, Pride, Covetousness, and Lechery—whom Richard Lion Heart assigned to certain holy men. The fanatics of our own time have given to the term a new importance. In this work an attempt is made to describe the morbid growth of certain feelings, from their birth in the revival camp to their wreck on the domestic hearth ! to paint in its diseased activity one of thosa passions which control the innermost lives of men ; to show in what subtle and seductive ways the poison of spiritual pride can work into the heart ; and, in the end, to warn the young seeker after a " newer way" and a " higher law" what perils beset his feet the moment he quits the safe old path of experience, on any imaginary " leading of the spirit." All the men and women whose lives are hero traced—from Archdeacon Ebel and Countess Ida, down to the Rev. Abram C. Smith and Mary Cragin -- began by seeking for a higher kind of good. They wandered into peril, not through a will in dining them to evil, but through the yearning to live a better and a purer life. They fell by spiri tual pride, by wishing to be " wiser than w hat is written ;" and they passed into the stage of mental craze and moral death through having set their hearts on a perfection never to be reached on earth. It is this moral element in the story of their lives which moves our pity for women like Countess Ida and Mary Cragin. Then the facts of this story show us how re vivals test the conservative powers of church and society in countries which are all of the highest type, and have many fine elements of a common life. A storm breaks out in England, Germany, and the United States. In England that storm sweeps by and leaves the fabric of our church and our society untouched. In Germany it produces social wreck and ruin. In the United States it gives rise to no/ forms of society and wild experiments in domestic life. 'Why this difference of result ? Is it not mainly because in England church and society are friendly, while in Germany they are hostile, and in America indifferent ? England can shake off men like Prince and his followers, because her society is old, her churches. are the churches of her upper ranks, and her reli gious condition is fixed by the action of her educated lay mind. Germany cannot so quickly put down men like Ebel and Diestel, because her laymen and her theologians are at feud ; the church is not in real union with society, and the intellect of th e country can only act on the divines in open field s of conflict. The United States, ignoring churches altogether as public bodies, have hardly any mea ns (in spite of their many and noble religious institu tions) of controlling the freaks of a revival preacher', except in the last resort, when some rustic crowd 0' miners and woodmen, maddened by what they think bad doctrine and worse practice, rise on the sain t ' and vindicate public morality with a bag of feathers and a box of tar. Is there not in all these details food for seriou s thought ? Yet a wise reader may find some comfort even in the sad and fearful facts displayed. This doc trine of Spirit- brides is but one of our greatest virtues run to waste. It is an offspring of that Gothic ra ce which invented Home, which elevated Wail' which purified Chivalry ; and it springs, in dee from no other source than excess of reverence 1111 misdirected love. Under all the evils here dep icted . there lies a ground for rational hope of better thing", The best of men must have the defects of their pro of per virtues ; must have these defects on the s . cale.,a their superior gifts. It may increase our pity our lessen our dismay—though it need not deaciell, ° _„ o sense of peril—to find how many of our bretn" o have been led astray by instincts which were . el!" noble, as well as by motives which were origui'" pure.

TYNDALL'S BOOK ON FARADAY.---Mich3tel Faraday was born at Newington Butts on the 22d of Ser." 1791, and died at Hampton Court on the 2 5 th of A-ug,13,,1 1867.

Lord Lytton (in his Student) s h 3! 0 that an author's best works may be those which i r t , - e a pot written, but only projected. In 1804, when h' r— a d years old, Faraday was apprenticed to a bookrileraf and binder, with whom he spent eight years of his life; Bu t which he worked as a journeyman elsewhere. ds• with whatever employer, his heart was iu the his ~orlr, It was iu the books he bound, in the hou rs after ? , he ro that he found the beginning of his philosophy ;,,dit wore two that especially helped him: the “B"Ye'°` Britannica," from which he gained his first notions of e loc trieity, and Mrs. Marcet's "Conversations on CheolisattrrY;. which gave him his foundation in that science.
