Yesterday the House of Commons held a morning sitting in order to dispose of the Corrupt Practices Bill, and this seventh attempt of the kind enabled it to get through the report. First of all, the Attorney-General for Ireland inserted the neces sary alterations and additions for extending the measure to Ireland. Captain ARCIIDALL made some serious objections to the scheme, and said it would not be availing for several reasons. Mr. AYRTON, as usual, made himself very officious, and suggested that power should he given to the election Judge to keep points of law for the attention of the Court of Common Pleas, which was acceded to, aid the bill passed with very few alterations. A good deal of time was wasted in the discussion of M. FAWCETT'S clause, which throws upon the rates the expenses of the returning officer. Mr. FAWCETT, first of all, made a long explanation of the manner in which he proposed to guard against vexatious contests arising. Every person to be nominated must place £lOO iu the hands of the re turning officer, and this sum was afterwards to be applied in relief of the rates in the event of the can di late not receiving one-fifth of the votes that were received by the successful candidate. This was cer taialyso far an ingenious arrangement, and provi led a remedy against abuse. of the privilege, but of course a goal many dissentient opinions were found to exist. Some desired to raise the deposit to three hundred in the counties, and to one hundred and fifty in the boroughs; and, again, that one-third of the votes of the successful candidate should be the minimum for which the defeated one forfeited his deposit. Mr. H. BEAUMONT showed the most discernment in hie proposition, which he made at last, which was that every candidate who was un successful and did not poll one-fifth of the number of electors, should have to pay his share of the re turning officer's expenses, and also that the pro poser and seconder should be liable, in the event of a candidate being set up without his consent or knowledge. Mr. FAWCETT withdrew his own sug gestion in favour of this last proposal, but subse quently upon a division it was thrown out by a majority of nine. Lord MILTON'S scheme was considered about the whole counties being charged for one particular division, and this was agreed to, ' but the Solicitor-General's proposal to strike out Mr. FAWCETT'S clause being carried, it disposed of the previous arrangement on the score of the payment of the election expenses. As majority of eighteen threw out the clause, and Mr. FAWCETT then said that he would renew the pro position to-day, when the third reading will take place. In support of his motion the Solicitor- General said that the machinery of the clause would not work as it was framed, and additional burdens would be thrown upon the ratepayers, as candidates would rely upon their paying for the vexatious contests entered upon at random. The evening sitting was to have been occupied by the discussion of the Metropolitan Cattle Markets Bill, but the house was counted out through the sudden and adroit management of Mr. AYRTON, declaring to fight against this scheme with zeal and ingenuity worthy of a better cause, but it is not likely that his sat prise.of yesterday will prevent the measure being carried. In all probability, the only consequence will be that a few days' delay may take place in the prorogation. The hon. member moved that the house be counted immediately on its resumption at nine o'clock. He persisted in this until it was found out that there were only twenty-one members present. Those who were disappointed yesterday by the manoeuvres of ;Mr. :AYRTON will not be more likely now to give way than they were before, and it would be well if those who have the interest of the measure at heart would be more wary, and not afford so many loopholes to the dexterous opponents who are so sedulously on the watch. Over and over again most just protests have been made against the course adopted by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, and those who join with him in opposing this mea sure. All are, however, of no avail, for, time after time, when the bill is under consideration, motions for a ljournment are made, and the Committee is distressed by the pertinacity with which all efforts at calm consideration are thus rendered compa ratively useless. To-night this unfortunate bill is to come on again, and then at the eleventh hour let us hope th it the M etropolitan members will be more moderate in their conduct with regard to it. If not, it is to be feared that the Government will put an end to this unworthy exhibition of factious controversy by declaring that the House will sit until a definite decision has been mute to o tilt-We:AZ 0 . l tho bill quite irrezpectiyo A correspondent of the Levant Herald, writing antagonisticfrom A Is native on e the 23d of June, says—" The political f orces i n Abyssinia having been relieved by the result of our late cam asoaa cam paign from the pressure which prevented the marked preponderance of any one of them are now finding full play in the ambition of each chief who excused himself to outstrip his rivals o n the r oad to supreme power. be led i n to nego ti- of r V o a m gs a hu p n e i rs G on ob al az io ie t , e o rv f i lj ew ast N a f vith Sir Robe r t N a pi e r, actor on the probably af ut oeahstwhich eh thinking offer h e wouldr f t t h h e a t hihell hamperl l f n o - h fort o policy, and re- Magdala as iso lated, and requiring for its oc cupation more mili htaereyomfoerctehe aid moneyan lie could spare, has scene quitted by us.

If the Wagshum also was successful in his plans, and we went away, he would figure as the greater hero, from having relied on his own resources only, and more patriotic, from ha v i ng avo i ded us. Accordingly, as soon as Theodore advanced from Debra Tabor (off the south-east corner of the Lake Izana) to meet us, the Wagshu a stepped in and se cured possession of a stronghold, unassailable by native soldiery, in the most fertile part of Abyssinia, and calculated to confer upon him the prestige of occupying the very seat of the supreme power wielded by the late Emperor. The occupation of this important point accomplished, the Wagshum next turned his attention to his northern rivals, who were two—Tessu Gobazie, his namesake, but no relative, and Kasa-sha-Buzbug (Kasa the Destroyer). 'Tessa Gobazie was brought to an engagement by the Wagshum, and killed in the battle by him, while our troops were on the return march. It was not, however, prudent to attack Kasa while we were in Abyssinia, iu consequence of his having entered into relations with us. H e had rendered us considerable service in procur ing forage and carriage on our first reaching Se cafe. The last news from this part of Abyssinia is that the Wagshum, Gobazie, has called upon Kasa to submit, and, it is said, has no intention of leaving him in peaceable possession of the warlike stores left to him by Sir Robert Napier. From the Wagshum's character he will most likely prove an overmatch for Kasa, in which case, the last killed or not, he will have to give up all his ma terial of war, which may answer our purpose so much the better, since we can only desire to see Abyssinia independent, and in the best hands for defending it. The Abyssinian Church is a branch of the Coptic, of which the Chief Patriarch resides at Cairo. The head of the Abyssinian Church proper is appointed by this Patriarch. At present there is no Abyssinian chief entitled, from his superior power, to prefer a request for a new bishop, or, as he is called in Abyssinia, abuna. The abuna would, of course, be a trump card in the hands of either the Wagshutn or Kasa if they could get him. Both have written to the Coptic Patriarch at Cairo, Kasa the more persistently, being the more sceptical of his ability to oppose his rival. The Wagslmin, in anticipation of obtaining the chief authority, intimates to the Coptic Patriarch at Cairo that he is at issue with Kasa, an I begs Lis lloliness to defer the appointment of an abuna until their differences are settled—that is, until he has settled Kasa."

Yesterday afternoon the House of Lords got through a good deal of business and cleared off some of the accumulation of small bills which have been weighing on the consciences of M.P's, A number of bills passed through committee, and a still greater number were read a third time. Among the former was the Public Schools Bill, in which some trifling alterations were introduced, the prin cipal danger being the increase of the Commis sioners from thre3 to five, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER and CANNON BLAKESLY being two of them. Lord LYTTLETON proposed the insertion of some words which occasioned a brief discussion, and were objected to by many noble lords. Their purport was to give the head masters of publi schools absolute power in all matters of study, dis cipline, and administration. This centralising doc trine was objected to by the Lord Chancellor, who contended that it would constitute the master the governing body, and by the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, who argued that the governing body was the legis lative and the master the executive of public schools. On the other hand, Lord DEVON thought that the increased powers of the master would effect a double gain, by improving the status of the schools and by securing the best men for head masters. Lord LYTTELTON wag so firmly convinced of the advantages to be conferred by it that he announced his intention of bringing up a clause on the re port, specifying the special powers of the head master. This will be a better way of dealing with the question than the general terms in which the motion was first worded would allow. The head master of a large public school is necessarily a man of considerable experience, standing, and scholarship, and it is extremely unlikely that the governing body would be inclined to harass him by unnecessary interference. At the same time if so much absolute power is to be conferred upon him, he will be transformed from the executive authority of a constitutional establishment into a local despot, and there will be no means of check ing or amending what is amiss save the extreme measure of removing the head master, which the governing body would be naturally most unwilling to do. It will be a much simpler and more effectual method of obtaining the desired end to specify exactly what are the powers of the master than to give him absolute jurisdiction over " all matters of study, discipline, and administration." Further on in the evening a question of some interest was raised by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, who questioned the Privy Seal respecting the cir cuit; of the Itunian Goyenuergt ic relatiou to oz- REMARKS. The increase in barometrical pressure has been general, and very high readings arc shewn this morning at northern and western stations. The maximum pressures are on the north-east coast :at Shields the reading is half an inch higher than at Rochefort. In the south of England the temperature has diminished : in Scotland and Ireland not much change is reported. On the Channel coast a strong wind from the north blew yesterday, and still continues. A high easterly wind is also blowing on the west coast of France. The weather continues dry, and the sky is generally clear over the British Islands. At continental stations the weather is cloudy. From St. Petersburg we learn that the cattle disease has broken out in a very large district to the north of Russia, including all the governments around the capital. Horses first suffered, then horned cattle, and lastly, pigs. The real danger of the disease seems to lie in this direction. It is affirmed, with much show of truth, that the cattle plague is permanently seated on the vast steppes lying to the south and east of the Muscovite Empire, whence it is communicated to the rest of Europe. Cannot the truth of this be finally ascertained? At present we know little of the origin or nature of the disease, and as yet possess no effectual means of checking or counteracting it. The Russian Government might surely make some inquiries into the state of the cattle plague in the interior of the empire. The present outbreak, happily, is diminishing in severity; but the question is, where may the next attack be expected? The twelfth edition of the Political Geography of Europe, by General von loon, has just been published. It con tains a review of the political condition of all the European States, with an account of the growth of their institutions and their progress or retrogression. The opinion given of our own country is exceptionally favourable. The author thinks that we manage to preserve the privileges of rank whilst we are giving to the humblest citizen almost a republican measure of free., dom and public right. The administration of govern ment, justice, and war is founded not upon theory only, but upon tradition and practice. Hence we have an infinite variety and originality in our institutions, though all are troubled with an excessive routine. Our finan cial resources are inexhaustible, but our debt enor mous. Our army is not numerous, lacks systematic organisation, and is composed of men who want bread or do not like work. Nevertheless, the force is capable, by the nerve of its discipline and the national spirit, to undergo the most diverse and painful enterprises. The flower of the population hold the regular army in disdain, and have formed a free militia which has yet to be proved. Although Earl Russell was not present at Romsey on Tuesday at the inauguration of the statue to Lord Palmer. ston, the mayor and corporation of the borough bad pre pared an address in expectation of his taking part in the ceremony. The document is drawn up in fitting terms, detailing the united efforts of Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell in honour of their country, and alludes especially one subject to which is spoken of as being " beyond the domain of party." This was the efforts made to emanci pate the slaves, " which, while it removed a stigma from the British name, has shed an enduring lustre around the memory of those by whom it was achieved." In reply, Earl Russell deeply regrets that he was unable to be present to perform the honourable duty which had been assigned to him, and then goes on to refer to Lord Palmerston's influence. We are told that "his judgment enabled him to distinguish that which was possible and practicable from that which was visionary and hopeless. Thus he was enabled to take part in great and successful enterprises ; in giving freedom to 800,000 slaves, the inhabitants of our West Indian Islands; in putting a stop to the atrocities of the foreign slave trade ; in establishing without war the indepen dence and freedom of Belgium; in giving a national existence to Greece ; and in raising the fame and repu tation of this great and free country." The noble lord does not publish his reason why he was prevented triaaiititiudill4l44LCONNl4L " THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. THE CAMP, THIIIISDAY. The only event exciting any great public interest here to-day is the shooting by the English, Scotch, and Irish eights for the Elcho Challenge Shield. Many visitors who would have been present at this international contest have no doubt been deterred by the total change that has taken place in the weather. A storm has from early morning seemed brooding over the heath ; a small breeze is blo►ving ; the barometer has fallen suddenly ; the thermometer is down to 68, and it is positively chilly. The groups around the various shooting ranges are meagre as compared with the crowds that have hitherto sur rounded them, and throughout the camp there are many indications of the near approach of the end. The most certain of them is the activity displayed by the officials in preparing for the distribution of prizes and the review. The former ceremony takes place at ten on Satur day, and it is now definitively settled that the lucky com petitors will have the honour of receiving their rewards from the hands of Lord Napier. What will in future be known as the Peake scandal is still the occasion of much gossip. If report speaks truly an inquiry will be instituted into the corporal's conduct by the officers of his corps. To-day will see the close of the shooting in connection with the Enfield Wimbledon Cup, the Association Cup, the Eley Prizes, the 2nd stage of the Windmill Prizes, and the 2nd stage of the Nursery Stakes. The Ist stage of the military breech-loaders closed at noon, Corporal Peake, Gth Lancashire, making the highest score of 109 points, at the 200 yards range, with the Soper rifle. Sergeant Bott, Royal Marines, at the 500 yards range, made the highest score of 108 with a Carter Edwards rifle. The second stage will be shot off to-morrow. The English, Scotch, and Irish teams commenced their shooting shortly before ten. In this competition each man is allowed fifteen shots at each of the three ranges of 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. England this year is repre sented by Messrs. Metford, Paget, Norsworthy, Martin, Smith, Radcliffe, Heaton, Fenton, and Pixley ; Scotland by Messrs. E. Ross, Mitchell, Crum, Wilkin, Dunlop, Malcolm, Clews, and the Master of Lovat ; Ireland by Messrs. 11I'Dowell, Maenna, M`Loyd, Barlow, J. Rigby, F. Lloyd, Kelly, and Doyle. At the 800 yards range last year England scored 404, Scotland 408, and Ireland 380. The number of points nride at the 9 0 yards range by England was 34 Scotian 1 351, Ireland 321. At the 1,000 yards range England scored 338, Scotland 337, Ireland being unable to complete the appointed number of shots at the greater distance at gun-fire. England proved victorious, scoring 1,166 ; Ireland came next, with 1,121 ; Scotland being a good third, making a score of 1,117. • ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. DOVER.—It is stated that Mr. Passmore Edwards, of Fleet-street, London, is about to address the electors of Dover, in the interest of advanced Radicalism. EAST CHESHIRE.—Mr. George Cornwall Legh (C.) who is about to offer himself as a candidate for the mid-division of the county of Chester, has issued his retiring address to the electors of East Cheshire. HEREFORDSHIRE.— It is stated that Sir Herbert Croft (C.), will not be opposed. From 1307 to 1526 his ancestors served the c„unty of Hereford in Parliament. NonFoi.K (Noniit).—Sir E. Lacon, at present M.P. for Great Yarmouth, and the Hon. F. Walpole (who unsuc cessfully contested Lynn in July 1865), have been selected Conservative candidates for this new division. Sir E. Lacon stated that he should be glad to give Mr. Disraeli and the Conservative party his support, but that he would not pledge himself to be at Mr. Disraeli's beck and call. EDINBURGH.—The Manchester Guardian's London cox , respondent says the cautious Secretary for Foreign Affairs has not the slightest intention of abandoning his quiet closet at Lynn for the racket and risk of the Grassmarket representation. STAFFORD.—An organised effort is being made to sent. one or two working men connected with the council of the Reform League into the new Parliament. Mr. Odger, it is understood, has selected Stafford, among the future electors of which his own trade—that of shoemaker—will be largely represented. Mr. Odger has received many promises of support, and several influential electors of the borough have expressed their readiness to subscribe towards his election expenses. TIIE MONSIOUTHSHIRE BOROUGHS.—Sir John Ramsden (L.) has addressed an influential and crowded meeting. At the close a resolution was unanimously passed approving of the hon. baronet as a candidate, and pledging the meet ing to use every exertion to secure his return. LEEDS.—The Conservatives of Leeds, it is reported, nave resolved to bring forward Mr. C. B. Denison, in con junction with Mr. Beecroft, M.P., and that an early meeting will be held to approve the selection. At the last general election Mr. Deni..n unsuccessfully contested the southern division of the West Riding in the Conservative interest. DEWSBURY.-Mr. Ernest Jones (L.) has decided, after negotiation with his supporters at Manchester and Dews bury, to withdraw from his candidature for the city and to stand for the borough. Mr. Cossham's committee, in the meantime, are prosecuting "an active, and, they report, a satisfactory canvass, and have already obtained a large number of signatures. HALIFAX.—At a meeting of the Ha'ifax branch of the Reform League, it was decided to invite Mr. Serjeant Simon, of London, to offer himself a candidate as an advanced Reformer. KING'S LYNN.—The Hon. Robert Bourke (C.) brother of Lord Mayo, has come forward as a candidate for King's Lynn. He declares himself a firm supporter of the Church of Ireland as it is at present. BRIGHTON. - It is announced on authority that two Con. servative candidates will oppose Mr. White and Mr. Fawcett. CHELTENHAM. —A Liberal dinner was given here on Wednesday evening, at which Mr. Samuelson, who is a candidate for the borough, and a son of Mr. Samuelson, the member for Banbury, was the principal guest. Among those present were Lord Fitzhardinge, Sir W. Russell, M.P., Mr. Price, M.P., Mr. Holland, M.P., and NIT. Samuelson, M.P. Great enthusiasm prevailed. ST. IvEs.—Mr. 11. R. Grenfell (L.) addressed a crowded meeting on Tuesday night, and was unanimously accepted as the Liberal candidate. A close contest is anticipated. EDUCATION IN GREAT BRITAIN. A voluminous blue book, containing the annual report of the Committee of Council on Education for the yer.r 1867-8, was published on Thursday. From this document it appears that during the year to which the report refers there had been an increase on the return of the year previously in the number of schools, or departments of schools, actually inspected, amounting to 1,005, and in the number of children amounting to 103,496. There was also an increase of 742 certificated teachers, 163 assistant teachers, and 564 pupil teachers. A {r2at Evergence is pointed out between the provision made for normal training and the employment of it, and this is said to be a question of the utmost gravity. It does not arise from want of funds, but from want of suitable candidates ; and the commissioners do not seem to be inclined to relax the stringent regulations which are felt to be necessary. The inspectors report almost uniformly ill of the scholars visited for simple inspection. The average attendance of lay scholars at schools in England and Wales actually inspected and aided with grants for their maintenance during the past year was 911,681, which is only 41 per cent. of the population, roughly estimated; and it thus appears that, of every eleven children of the labouring classes at school, the average number of those attending in the past year was about four. A further examination chews that out of every 100 children present daily, 22.3 are disqualified, either by age or the number of attendances, for individual examination ; that of the remaining 771, the number actually presented for exami nation was 66 . 3, and of those who passed without failure in any one of the subjects, 42 . 6. If, moreover, atten tion be confined to the scholars over ten years of age, and therefore approaching the end of their school time, it appears that out of every 100 of those scholars examined, oily 62.4 passed without failure, although 45were examined in the three lower standards, and those who passed without failure in the three higher standards were only 31 . 3 out of the 100. The commissioners remark that these unsatisfactory results lie occasionally with the schools themselves, especially in the suburbs and other quarters of large towns where the poor are congregated under a clergyman struggling single.handed ; in an over whelming greater proportion it lies in the irregu larity of attendance. The commissioners speak of the unnecessary multiplication of schools in some districts. When this is the case, the means of efficient education are dissipated, and proper control of the scholars is sacrificed in the competition for them. THE ALLEGED CASES OF CHOLERA.—The re sult of our inquiries has induced us to doubt the authenti• city of any of the " undoubted cases of Asiatic cholera "re. ported this week in London. We have seen the case, with the house-surgeon, reported from the Royal Free Hospital on Thursday, as the" first decided case of Asiatic cholera," and may state that it never had any of the characteristic symptoms of that disease. There is, of course, a good deal of diarrhcea at all the hospitals ; but, considering the extraordinary heat of the weather, it is by no means of a 103ftfOlkilingi:11 1 1 7 1.11.diCati r Oragli , ct 4 ; f, *•c, fr• i.

For a limited period tragedy has succeeded ,:omedy at this theatre, and Mr. James Anderson, with a gentleman named Pennington, has been performing in " Othello" and " King John." The latter gentleman played the Moor, but he has much to learn before he can claim a position in the front rank of the profession ; however, he has about hint evidences that give good ground for hntici pating that, with practice, he may become a sound and judicious actor. Mr. J. Anderson met with a cordial and hearty greeting on his reappear -thee. in England after a protracted absence, and his representation of King John was marked by all its old qualities, and it elicited general applause. Miss Frances Bouverie made her first first appearance in the character of Lady Constance, but had she chosen a part calling for less stress upon her physical power 'she would have doubtless succeeded much better than she did. She, however, has every rea son to be satisfied with the impression she created, and her next character will perhaps enhance her claim to a prominent position on the London stage. Mr. Ryder's Hubert was in every way satisfactory, and deserved all the applause it elicited. GALLERY OIL ILLUS 7 RA7ION. Notwithstanding the rapid approach of the closing of the season, Mr. German Reed has pro duced a new and very amusing entertainment. It ,s entitled " Inquire Within," the words by Mr. Burnand and the music by the clever lessee. [he plot of this amusing trifle is as follows : Sir Harduell Grimthorpe (Mr John Parry) a miserly old gentleman has a young niece, Florence (Miss Annie Sinclaire), who is living with him, but be wishes to get rid of her by inducing some body else to take her—for better or worse. The young lady has no objection to second her uncle's matri monial views, but not exactly in the manner he proposes. The old gentleman consults MissßougemA (Mrs. German Reed) and Mrs. Muddle (who i 3 also represented by Mrs. Reed) in the matter, and Mrs. Muddle suggests that Sir llardnell Grimthorpe should put up a board with the words " House to Let—lnquire 'Within," when probably among the visitors some gentleman might be found anxious to enter into the matrimonial state and propose for Florence. The sapient suggestion is acted upon, and amongst the visitors are Chirriper (Mr. Ger man Reed), an enthusiast on the flute, and as "deaf as a post ;" Deputy-Lieutenant Orpheus Rougemel (Mr. German Reed), a distinguished amateur and president of a musical society called the Lyrics ; IYllliam Prynne (Mr. German Reed), a solicitor, afraid of a rule absolute at home; and Lieut. Robert Barton, R.N. (Mr. Reed), but all fail to be impressed with the desirability of entering into the proposed matrimonial alliance with Florence, with the exception of the gallant lieutenant, who has long loved her ; and he, like a true British sailor, comes to the rescue, and takes the young lady off her uncle's hands, to the general satisfaction of all, especially as everybody is to be cordially invited to the marriage. Each of the actors cleverly sustain the parts em bodied, and the lively dialogue and pretty music will doubtless attract very full audiences during the remainder of the season. Mr. John Parry's " Public Dinner" is a most delightful half-hour's fun; and it is extremely gratifying, in these days of brassy comic singing, to find that there are large numbers who can appreciate the sterling article when it is presented to them in such splendid style as that of Mr. John Parry, our prince of buffo singers. WESTON'S ill USIC-11AL L. The performances at this admirably-conducte d place of entertainment are, at the present time, of more than ordinary excellence, and it is D° wonder that they attract crowded audiences every evening. Of course the spirited proprietor has been called upon to give sensational perform ances, but in complying with the demand be ha s secured the services of two of the best and most accomplished artists that have yet appeared• George Leopold and Mdlle. Geraldine are performer s on the lofty trapeze, but their evolution a are so graceful and so neatly pei formed that they can be looked upon without fear of accident. Mr. E. D. Davis, with his two little sons, Tom and Joe, is particu- Early amusing, his ventriloquism being certainly th e best that has yet been given. The comic elemen t here is of more than usual excellence, and the per forinance by the new and powerful band of th e works of our best composers makes up an evening' s entertainment of a most enjoyable kind.
