He is able to deliver Copies in Town, the Suburbs, and in many parts of the country at a comparatively early hour the same evening, say 40 miles by nine o'clock _ . But while we in the towns are chiefly concerned for the effect on the public health, it is very gratify ing to learn that the harvest, now general, is an excellent one so far as the great staple, wheat, is con cerned. Bright suns and continued droughts have hurried forward the harvesting, and will make its course unusually rapid. In Yorkshire the men are hired for three weeks instead of a month, as usual, and it is noticed that the Irish harvester is absent, the time for his arrival being yet a fortnight dis tant. After the apprehensions that have been cur rently entertained respecting the drought the good news from the cornfields is indeed welcome, though we are discussing the nature of the harvest and the merits of the several crops a month or two earlier than usual. Every nerve is being strained to get the corn in before a possible change of weather, and we may well be thankful that the brilliant suns of 1868 have brought comfort to the heart of the poor man by holding out the pros pect of a cheap loaf for his winter fireside. In the House of Lords yesterday Lord LYVEDEN criticised the Corrupt Practices Bill at Elections, and declared that. in his opinion it would not be a success. The chief obj, cam he made was about the transfer of the jurisdiction to the judges, which could not be a remedy against electoral evils, but it is, at all events, giving things a chance ; and those who object to this mode of procedure might bear in mind that any change from the present system may be for the better, for it has notoriously failed to answer its purpose, and held up our repre sentative system to contempt in many quarters. Because electors must take the initiative it has been supposed that nothing will be done, but as Lord AIAL3IESBURY very truly said, almost every man of respectability would be an elector, and thus many checks would be interposed. Besides this measure is merely a temporary one, and the fuss made about its provision is quite uncalled for, since if it does not work well, or answer the desired end, it can easily be altered and amended. One of the chief difficulties in the way of legislation upon these matters is always found in the overscrupulosity and undue precaution of a select few, who will not be con tent to take things quietly, but persist in their endea vours to make everything perfect all at once. A. very decided change has been made in the state of the law concerning election petitions and corrupt practices at elections, and we think that the Go vernment deserve great credit for the part which they have taken in introducing the measure, and tha determination with which they carried it through the House. The committee of the House of Commons also displayed great energy in the work, which is saying a great deal when we think of the lateness of the period when it was put be fore them, and the extreme heat of the weather. The bill passed through committee in the Lords ; and in order to facilitate this desirable end, Lord ROMILLY very wisely withdrew an amend ment for infringing on the monopoly of shorthand writing respecting election inquiries. It is most satisfactory to know the measure is now safe, for many times during the last few weeks it has seemed welluigli hopeless to think of its passing, and even those who at first were sanguine became doubtful when so many objections were interposed, and so many new plans were put forward. All is well that ends well may,"however, be said in regard to this or other questions. And even if it should not answer all the ends now supposed, it seems an ad- Twelve hundred children attending the Lambeth Ragged Schools will, by the kind permission of his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, spend a day in the palace grounds: but for this privilege they would be de prived of their holiday, the numbers attending precluding the possibility of taking them either by rail, boat, or vans. As it is, the expenses of the day, it is calculated, will amount to £4O, towards which contributions are earnestly solicited, and will be most gratefully received by W. H. Miller, superintendent, 225, Westminster-bridge-road, Lambeth, S.E. The Figaro, in announcing that the Queen of England, accompanied by Sir Thomas and Lady Biddulph, is about to have an interview with the Empress of the French in Paris on her way to Switzerland, adds that the twenty-four cooks usually in the retinue of her Majesty when on her travels will, on this occasion, be dispensed with. The Queen's head cook, according to the I'igaro, receives a salary of £720 a year, and her three travelling niaitres d hotel £360 each. The head cook also enjoys the privilege of educating four apprentices, each of whom pays him £l2O a year for culinary tuition.Zln wages alone the Royal kitchen of Engand costs about £4,000 a year. So, at least, says the Figaro. An article by M. Ferdinand do Lacombe, in the last two numbers of the Spectateur Militaire, on ‘, The Campaign of 1867 in the Pontifical States," thus describes the condition of the Papal army at that time :—The gendarmerie, a corps d'ilite, ani mated by an excellent spirit, sustained by its old traditions, of fidelity to the Pope ; its auxiliaries the squadriglieri, a corps of " agile, vigorous, wily children of the mountain," maintained for the pur suit of brigands ; a battalion of carbineers com posed of Swiss, Bavarians, and natives of Baden ; the artillery, constituted of Italians and Swiss, under the command of French and Italian officers, and consisting of two batteries of horse and three of foot artillery, of six guns each, organized on the French system. Next come the dragoons, and the Antibes Legion, which, " though mounting the Pope's cockade, has preserved the esprit of its native land ;" and, finally, the Pontifical Zouaves, formed of volunteers from the " great houses of the Catholic aristocracy of the West." General Kanzler's report of the paper strength of the Roman forces at the commencement of the Gari baldian assaults was 12,981 of all ranks, and 929 horses ; but non-effectives of every kind being de ducted, the true combatant value was found to be at the utmost only 8,000 men. The Pontifical garrison of Monte Rotondo, which held out against the Garibaldians for twenty-seven hours on the 23rd and 24th of October, numbered 323 officers and men. On the 29th the French forces landed at Civita Vecchia ; on the 31st they entered Rome. On Sunday, the 3rd of November, 2,900 Roman and 2,200 French troops marched to the attack of Monte Rotondo, and Mentana, " where the 9,000 or 10,000 men directed by Garibaldi were strongly intrenched." After the battle of the 3rd, Gari baldi recrossed the Italian frontier during the night, and on the 4th, his forces, after some brief encounters, either fled or surrendered, and the " campaign " was at an end. The loss of the French is given at 41 in killed, wounded, and missing, ; that of the Roman troops at 133, while the Garibaldian casualties are stated to have been nearly 1,000 killed and wounded, besides 1,400 prisoners. Not much is said about the Chasse pot, but the fire of the French soldiers who were armed with it at Mentana is described as " fou droyant." The enormous sum of £540,000 was remitted by the Irish in America to their relatives in Ireland during the past year. Of this sum £202,000 was transmitted as prepaid passage orders. Since 1848 the Irish in America transmitted £14,500,000 sterling to that country. Lyons and Mediterranean Southern Western Eastern • • 557 Sardinian Austrian Lombard North of Spain Saragossa Roman A joint-stock undertaking of a somewhat novel character has just been brought out in Scotland. It is entitled the " Money Order Company of Great Britain and Ireland (L imit ed)," with a proposed capital of £200,0 00 , in 20,000 shares of £lO each. The prospectus states that the company has been formed for the purpose of establishing a cheap and secure medium for transmitting small sums given which, oitf is m osntaetye,d,anwdillaptraorvi of charges is prove highly highly remunerative. This scale is much lower t han the Post-office rate; the average difference b e i ng a b ou t one half. From the nature of the business to be trans acted respectability of direction and management is obviously an essential preliminary to the acquiring of public confidence. This requisite is attained by the list of the names presented as constituting the provisional committee, which includes many of the leading citizens of Edinburgh, Li•ith, and Dundee. It is to be presumed that the scheme will receive its chief support in Scotland, but, should it succeed a peculiar result will follow. Whether extended to England or not, the Post-office, which has no legal monopoly of money-order remittances, must either at once reduco its scale of charges or lose part of its moat profitable source of revenue. • A swift and terrible doom, says the Daily e 7 le graph, has overtaken the murderers of Prince Michael. Fourteen of them have been condemned to death ; two, Prince Alexander Karageorgievich and his secretary, are to suffer twenty years' penal servitude ; twenty years' hard labour in a fortress has been awarded to another ; and the least guilty of the conspirators is to be imprisoned for five years. The severity of the sentences, coupled with the atti tude of the foreign Powers and the resolute bearing of Turkey, may read an opportune lesson to those restless Pansclavists who are still troubling the Danube and neighbouring provinces with their abortive intrigues. Continental agitators would do well to ask themselves, also, whether, on the whole, political assassination pays. We do not ask whether political assassination is just, for that question brings up ideas which we cannot expect them to understand, far less to share. We put the matter on no higher ground than that of profit and loss. Abraham Lincoln is dead, but his death only lent strength to Abolitionism. Prince Michael is dead, but the objects of his murderers have not been brought a whit nearer. The Em peror of the French is not dead, though select committees of assassins have again and again met to see how they might best send him to a world in which coups d'jtat and press laws would be be yond his reach ; but, somehow, their hostility has missed its mark, and the effort to shoot him down without giving him a chance of defence has done more than a host of Persignys could have accom plished to make his hold on the French throne secure. The Hungarian monarchy has endured for nearly A thousand years. During that time its name has never disappeared from the political geography of Europe, though its independence has been compromised, and, it was thought, irretrievably lost. But as the one-thousandth anniversary of the foundation of the kingdom draws near, the prospects of the Hungarians as a nation are better than at any former period. They form the most powerful portion of a great empire, and yet have an independent government of their own. Their connection with Austria gives than gre.tter weight in European politics than they could hope to obtain by a purely separate existence ; but in all matters relating to their own country they are perfectly free. How the one-thousandth anniversary shall be celebra'ed is at present an unsettled question. Some recommend the erection of a colossal obelisk in one of the vast corn-producing plains. Others are in favour of a national pantheon, to be built on the mountain which overlooks the capital. The question is to be discussed in all the jurisdictions of the kingdom ; and then the pro gramme will be finally fixed by means of a council of dele gates from the districts and towns. The people of Frankfort cannot reconcile themselves to Prussian authority. They embrace every opportunity of bewailing their lot, some little disturbance is continually arising, and the police can generally find employment. It will, perhaps, be remembered that a burgomaster of the name of Feiner hanged himself in despair at the annexa tion of his country. On the anniversary of his death,. which has just come round, the populace got up a demon stration. The police interfered, and, as usual, took possession of the "key of the position." This time it wo' the cemetery. The French journals, as might be expected, attach great importance to the fierce warfare now going on between the journals of Russia and Prussia. The discussion is cer tainly very angry, and daily becomes more envenomed. The Golos, of St. Petersburg, for instance, says " the friendship of Russia is for Prussia a condition of existence." The same paper talks about the relations between the two countries being the same now as when Count von Boranden burg was obliged to go to Warsaw to hear a lesson from the Emperor Nicholas. The Prussian papers reply so fiercely that the only more advanced manifes tion now possible will be a series of duels between the combative editors. The acrimony of the dispute is extraordinary; but nobody, not even the Paris journals, can divine the cause of it. lowest pressure is at Holyhead: the difference between the readings at that station and Brest amounts to five-tenths. Temperature is much less in England and Ireland : in the north of Scotland it is higher. A westerly gale—force 9—blew yesterday on the Irish coast: the gale continues at Valencia from the north, and a W.S.W gale is blowing at Holyhead. On our Channel coast the wind is fresh from the N.W. Rain has fallen in England and Ireland : in the south west the fall has been considerable. The weather is cloudy or over cast. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, Downing-street. Mr. Justice Mellor, during the assize business on Saturday at Exeter, appeared to be suffering from illness, and at the rising of the court left for London to consult his medical adviser. TIIE FIRST CONSIGNMENT OF FLAX..— The Northern Whig of Tuesday, says : The first consignment of this year's flax grown in the south of Ireland, was received in Belfast on Tuesday. It is said to be of fair quality. THE HARVEST AND TIIE LABOUR MARKET.— At Mallon, on Saturdly, the attendance of harvesters was large. There was an entire absence of the Irish harvester the time of his appearance being fully a fortnight distant, when the harvest will be nearly over. The bulk of the men were from the mining districts, where - little is doing. Ex cellent wages were obtained, but mostly for three weeks only instead of the customary month. Bright suns and continued droughts have made harvest general, and all promises to be not only one of the earliest but also the shortest on record.—Leeds Mercury. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and family intend to leave Marlborough House on the 91h proximo for Abergeldie Castle, N. 8., for the season. At the end of the shooting season the Prince and Princess purpose going to Denmark to visit the King and Queen and other relatives of the Princess. ICED TEA.—The most delicious and sustaining beverage that can be drunk this hot weather is good strong tea cooled down with lumps of ice. It should be only slightly sweetened, without milk, and flavoured with a few slices of lemon, which are infused at the time the tea is firet made.—Medical Times and Gazette. The Libert has received information that General Prim has paid a visit to Lisbon, and is now on his way baCk to London. As the Spanish refugee has been made to per form this not very short journey several times during the last few days, this repetition must be received with caution. It is, however, on " good authority." The Liberte adds that several of General Prim's intimate friends are at the head of the Portuguese Government, and that the General himself has had an interview with the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier. This much is certain : if a revolution should break out in Spain, it will receive countenance, if not aid, from Portugal. The process of stamping out in Poland goes on un checked by European indignation, or by any other influ ence. Recently an order was sent to the Polish clergy forbidding the use of prayer-books printed in the national language. This order has been so strictly enforced that soldiers systematically enter the places of worship and take the prayer-books from the congregation. The same principle has now been carried further. The clergy of all denomina tions throughout Poland have been forbidden, from the Ist of January next, to employ any language except Russian in their relations with the lay and ecclesiastical authorities. The use, in an official capacity, of any other tongue will be punished by fine, and even by deprivation of living. Mr. Watkin sends to the Times the concluding letter in iris correspondence with Lord Redesdale. It is, on the whole, written in a more temperate spirit than his former epistles. Lord Redesdale having denied that he charged Mr. Watkin personally with jobbing, the last-named gentleman writes : "If you had stated this at the begin ning it might have saved the necessity for further corre spondence, because when a gentleman denies that he has intended to throw out imputations, his denial must be accepted even against the evidence. I will not criticise the distinction between charges thrown out broadcast against unnamed individuals and the ' personal and specific charge '—which latter can be dealt with as such charges when false ought to be." Mr. Watkin, however, again refers the noble lord to his speech to shew that it really did convey the impression that he was making a pe: sonal attack, and adds : " I have since consulted a gentleman who was present at the bar during the discussion, and he distinctly assures me that you charged the promoters to the bill under discus. sion with promoting it for jobbing objects. I have only to say that such a charge, either against the promoters of the bill or against the shareholders of the South Eastern Railway, is entirely without foundation, and entirely un justifiable." A CHOLERA STRICKEN SHIP.—A ship called the Turtellea, laden with wheat from Valparaiso, put into Cork harbour last week for orders. She came direct from Val paraiso, and had been only sevens days out from that port when he crew was attacked with cholera. Seven of them died, but six of them and a mate recovered, and worked the ship the rest of the voyage. THE PROROGATION.—The London correspondent of the Freeman says :—" It is understood that on Monday an intimation was conveyed by the Premier to the Speaker that the Government business is now in so prosperous a state that the prorogation will take place on Friday next. The probability is that both Houses will meet on Wednesday for a abort time to sweep up the scraps, and that an adjournment will then be agreed to until Fridab when tirFerernony of proroga tion will take placq,"_, All the fish ponds which once belonged to Netley Abbey are now dried up, excepting one. This, which has existed for hundreds of years, is as beautiful as ever. It partly covered with water lilies, a flock of ducks skim over its surtace, and the banks are covered with foxglove and other wild plants. The Netley station is nearly two miles from the abbey, so that pilgrims are as badly off as before. The railway company wanted their line to run close to Seutbampton Water, which is within 200 yards of the abbey, but this was opposed. If a station on the present iine were made opposits the abbey, and a horse tramway ran from it to the ruins, thousands of persons would visit the latter. The London accounts of the weather, which for a long time past have presented such dreary complaints of heat and drought, at last rejoice in a change. Between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening the clouds rolled up from the south-west, and the weather-wise, whose pre dictions have so often been disappointed, felt confident in prophesying rain. At eleven o'clock a heavy shower came down and lasted for two hours. After a short cessation it fell again for some time longer, and the latest accounts read as if the spell of dry weather were at last broken. It appears to be a mistake to suppose that this has been the driest year since 1826, for a . corre spondent to a contemporary gives a tabular statement of the rainfall in 1863 and 1864, from which it appears that in the former year only 8185 inches of rain fell up to July 28, in 1864 only 8 . 152, while this year 9.440 have fallen to the same date. At the same time the excessive heat, the absence of clouds, and the wonderful dryness of the atmosphere have promoted excessive evapo ration. Notwithstanding that the price of corn has for some time fallen, no alteration has been made in the price of bread. 41any are the complaints on the matter addressed to the papers. Where, everybody asks, does the fault lie? The farmers are selling at a lower price, and yet the bakers protest that they cannot lower their figure. It has already been pointed out that the bakers ii. tha country are, being men of.small means, entirely in the hands of the millers and flour dealers, but as between the average price of the corn sold an 1 the bread consumed there is some thing between 30 and 40 per cent. to be accounted for, it is still not easy to understand why a fictitious price should be kept up. A correspondent of the Times .declares that the only persons to whom it does good are the corn-factors, the millers, and the flour dealers—a class of men who are everywhere to be seen thriving on the excessive dearness of the poor man's loaf. surely, ha rays, it is a study for philanthropists L w to devise a means whereby t: e tlil(r of the soil may bt enabled to eat a good a al p loaf without the present a .tortion.

The extraordinary heat of the weather has at least supplied us with a little variety in our usual topics of conversation. The weather is always the awkward Englishman's best friend in society, and this year the high readings of the thermometer, and the disagreement of rival observers, the effect of the drought, and the prospects of the harvest, have in troduced several new elements into the old routine forth. We have had a taste, if not of the pleasures of the tropics, at least of the sensations of Southern Europe, and unluckily we cannot, or will not, ac co.nmodate our ways to the occasion. We march about in the heat of the day, clothed as if it were an ordinary summer, and the consequences are always unpleasant and often very hurtful. We shut our shutters and close our windows at dark not to open them till long after sunrise, and then complain of t!io heat of the nights. We Anglo-Saxons take some time to adapt ourselves to circumstances, and our American cousins nre faring worse than we. They have the heat, like every thing else, on a larger scale than people in their latitudes elsewhere, and in comparison with their accounts of the general C „ t , ,1. 1 t:1,;; % -t; 1F, ,... ,-, 4 , --1 7 T 4 . ian rt . . ........., t it;7l --, 4..... ti HER MAJESTY.

HARRISON'S BENEFIT. Mr. Harrison is so old and valued a friend of the public that the aunouncement of his benefit on Monday night excited warm interest, and, notwith standing the extreme heat of the weather and the lateness of the season, there was a good muster of his admirers at Covent Garden. It was with great regret that the public learned that, in addition to the pecuniary losses he has suffered, Mr. Harrison is afflicted with severe illness, and thus stands in need of the assistance of his friends and supporters. How cordially and how promptly his professional contemporaries came forward to his aid was shown on Monday evening, when every variety of entertainment—musicalt lyrical, recitative, and dramatic—was combined in the programme, and an epigrammatic address from the pen of Mr. Tom Taylor was delivered with full effect by Mrs. Stirling. Two scenes from " Paul Pry" commenced the performances, with Mr. Toole as the immortal intruder. Then came au operatic selection, in which Mdlle. Lancia, Madame Weiss, Signor Mario, and several other prominent artistes, took part. Miss Amy Sedgwick recited a scene from "Pickwick." M. Ravel gave a recitation from one of the boxes, and entertainments followed fast one on the other, until the stage manager announced that two or three must be omitted from the lateness of the hour, and the evening would conclude with the first act of " The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein." It is needless to say that in presence of so much varied ability, and with every performer animated by a kindly and generous desire to do his or her best, the performances were all that could be de sired ; and we hope they will have afforded sub stantial assistance to our overwrought and deserving public servant. The movement was a purely spon taneous one on the part of the promoters, and as such does honour both to them and Mr. Harrison, whose serious illness we must all deplore. 1 115 exertions in the cause of national opera, though unfortunately unsuccessful, have done the musical world good service, and have stimulatel some of our best composers Balfe, Macfarren, Wallace — ' to their happiest efforts. THE ATHERSTONE CRUTCH CASE. This case, which has caused a good deal of a citement in the Anglican Church, came by letters of request from the Bishop of Worcester, at the instance of the Rev. Frederic Ilartshill Richingst M.A.,incumbent of the church and parish of 6 3 ' Mary, Atherstone, Warwickshire, who charged Mr. Edward Cordingley with forcibly entering th e church, accompanied by a concourse of noisy an d disorderly persons, and illegally removing frog' the communion table a ledge placed thereon, and i with having irre veren tly b ro k en t h e same and caused it to be thrown away and left in the church yard ; he was also charged with having on th e same occasion removed from the communion table the cloth placed thereon, and with removing th e same, as also two iron sockets, placed as fixtures , on each side of the church arch, for holding ban" ners. It appeared from the evidence that on the 23rd of August last Mr. Cordingley entered th e church by employing a man named Scanlan t 0 pick the lock, and was accompanied by a numbe r of persons. The ledge which was used as th e super-altar was forcibly removed, and throve down and broken, and then thrown into a Pla ce where coals were kept. The altar cloth was al se removed. It was shown that, although Mr. Rich ings had refused to give up the keys of the 6 10°11 to Mr. Cordingley, he had offered him free access to the church, and had even waited for him. g r. Cordingley, too, it was urged, had acted in oppes i " tion to the wishes of his co-churchwarden. 00 the other hand, it was contended that Mr. Rich' inns, the promoter of the suit, had acted illegaly in introducing the super-altar and the other decors" tions into the church without obtaining the Per mission of the bishop of the diocese. It was 813 s 0 urged that no violence was used ; that Mr. Cord ingley simply went to th e c h urc h an d rem oved th e articles in conformity w ith a w i s h expres sed at e, public meeting of parishioners, whose servant he was ; and that he was not accompanied by a noisy or irreverent p ar ty, on ly one person ( a Mr. gat - ton) had kept hi s h a t on d ur i ng th e proceed, ings. Sir R. Phillimore, in delivering judgment °II Tuesday, said it had been alleged that the art meats complained of by the defendant were is the church when the bishop held a confirmation there. That was scarcely sufficient, and whether th e ornaments were legal or not, they ought to lA ° been submitted for the approval of the ordin° l i A public meeting had b een h e ld i n conse quence ° a the introduction of these ornaments, a meet il l which was scarcely calc u l a t e d t o promo te cli lle s discussion. At this meeting au th or it y wa s gil to the churchwardens to re move th e ornaraeuto. The vestry did not, it might be supposed, wish, „ tc ; make the request to one churchwarden indepena e ' o of the other, and it had no legal power to g llr f such authority to both. Even in the case fl e church rates the vestry could not authorize on e, churchwarden to take any legal proceedings 11:1ci 1 , pendent of or without the sanction of his e ° o league. In the present case one churchwa rue i l had acted independently of the other, and if ° li . e g scenes were. allowed—one churchwarden tak ijl A one view and the other an opposite view—the ril ° o disgraceful riots would ensue. He was hag,' r. say that the law was very clear upon the Ina tt , e o it was a matter of surprise that a churchwa ru ti t should have acted so illegally a s in this case „„ b Ai s Mr. Cordingley had honestly admitted that he not a member of any Church, that he was 31(4 communion with any Church, and that he a1 1i454 ; b , had a great repugnance to the office of eh ° a warden. Under such circumstances, the peopiew. Atherstone had made a most unfortunate ell °l et The promoter of the suit had withdrawn his P rs ' t l h o that the court would order the restitution of be church, and prayed that Mr. Cordingley 8 11 ° 11 ! a admonished anti condemned in the whole °' A t costs. Considering that he (the learned judg e ,; ic h the outset suggested an arrangement, to w , c ir Mr. Cordingley assented, but to which Mr. e° ings would not consent, he should not O hd f aor Mr. Cordingley in the whole of the costs, bu t ', him to pay the sum of £lOO nornine expert 1 1 l e gal and admonish him to abstain from such 11 practices in future. 11110 It is understood that the English Church " pays such expenses as fall on Mr. Richiugs, Cor j.. the parishioners of Atherstone those of gr. in gley. An extraordinary scene took place on Stin (lsj ls o.
