There is a humorous picture in the Orchestra of the Christy Minstrels' performance in the presence Df Majesty. At first when summoned they could not believe it; but when there could be no doubt of the reality, they prepared to tickle the royal ears with the skilful manipulation of the " bones,' and to lelight the royal eyes by the exposition of grinning rows of teeth. At first the Queen was somewhat apathetic, but at last was graciously pleased to applaud, and their joy was complete. They afterwards, having washed the smut off their faces, prepared to attack the royal provisions, and were delighted with the condescension of Mr. John Brown. The Orchestra is pleased to find that the Queen is emerg ing from her retirement, but expresses some surprise at her choice of amusements for public patronage. It will be remembered that these Anglican " niggers " now distinguish themselves from the " original " and other minstrels as the recipients of royal favour. We note that immediately the Prince and Princass of Wales arrived in Paris they rushed off to hear their beloved Schneider once more. TILE NEW PRIMATE. The John Bull has some curious anecdotes relating to the recent appointment of Bishop Tait to the Primacy, and the accompanying translations. The High Church party, it is said, would infinitely have preferred an Evangelical bishop in the see of London to the Bishop of Lincoln. One dignitary of the Church, a Conservative, thinks the appointments, with the exception of Archdeacon Wordsworth's, as bad as could be made, and says : " I had almost rather have seen the outrage of Stanley attempted than the kindred undermining of Bishops Tait and Jackscn." Another great supporter of the Government, thinking the Bishop of Lincoln's translation not yet decided., writes that " the prom o ti on o f L on d on i s not v i ewed with unmixed satisfaction, but the promotion of Lincoln would be received with indignation, and threaten the separation of Church and State with a, vengeance." A Conservative Peer would not be sur prised if, when Mr. Gladstone came into power, he refused to confirm the appointment of London. The balance, he thinks, should have been adjusted by sending the Bishop of Oxford to London. The John, Bull states that six seat s h ave b een l os t t o th e C on = servatives by the appointment of London. Our contemporary finally calls upon Conservatives to make allowances for Mr. Disraeli's difficulties._ THE NOMINATION DAY. The Daily .Kews returns to the question of the inutility of the hustings and the proceedings con-7 netted therewith. It speaks of the nomination, 8.7 c., as a " pantomimic performance, trying the temper of all sides in turn, and giving rowdyism and violence an opportunity." The whole thing is out of date. " The nomination of par liamentary candidates might be effected in the same way as that of municipal candidates—by written notice to the returning officer, and might be announced by him in the same manner—by public advertisement. The announcement of the polling place is even now made by advertisement, and nothing more is necessary to be done than to abolish the farce of nomination in a riot, and provide that it shall be made in writing, and communicated to the people by legible advertisement, rather than by half incomprehensible pantomime." THE FAREWELL SPEECH OF MR. ROEBUCK. There has been something very pathetic about Mr. Roebuck's struggle at Sheffield. It was a fight between sentiment and argument. Where a man throws himself on you, and claims considera tion for past faithful services—even though in the future he will promise nothing, and there is every indication that he will go wrong—it is very difficult to dispute his claims. It took very many indiscreet speeches, a large number of political blunders, and no end of offensive declara-. tions of independence, to alienate the people of Sheffield from the man who represented them so long. But the great question put to Liberals from every side was, " Will you help Mr. Gladstone to carry a no-confidence vote ?" Mr. Roebuck could not answer in the affirmative, and thus added the last straw which broke the back of the ass. His farewell speech is worth reading. Even the Star, one of his bitterest enemies, says it is " not without dignity "—one way of saying that it is dignified. He accepts the decision of the electors, though not acquiescing in its wisdom and justice : " Whether time is to reverse this decree time must shew ; for me it is a final one. I am too old to wait for the decision of time—though I am confident that when calm reflection takes the place of excitement and prejudice, it will be acknowledged that I have been always a faithful servant, and that my services deserved a different return. I make no complaint, I make no accusa tions. The future must decide between me and the newly-made constituency of Sheffield." FINLEN AND ANOTHER HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRA.. TION. The mighty Finlen will not be put down. His soul rises above •the vulgar crew who think that charity and reform should begin at home. His active intellect • must be at work. He must keep himself before the world, whether through the agency of the police-office, by brawling, or by demonstrations. His latest "move" to " get his name up " is certainly very original. Now, some twelve months after the death by execu tion of the " Manchester martyrs," he puts forth a placard announcing a " funeral procession." We had imagined that a " funeral " procession was a procession following the dead. But hero again the redoubtable Finlen is above all such carping criticism. He will deliver an oration in honour of the martyrs—in his old haunt of Hyde Park. Even the Holborn branch of the Reform League find this too much for them, and write denying any connection with the grandiloquent orator. Can nobody shut Mr. Finlen up ? MEDICAL OFFICERS OF UNIONS. The local secretary to the Poor-law Medical Officers' Association has written to the Right Hon. H. Brand upon the subject of the salaries of medical officers of unions. Mr. Brand, in his reply, promises to give the subject his best consideration, and adds that, as a magistrate and a guardian, he has often been struck with the inadequate remunera tion extended to them. If returned to Parliament, it is to be hoped that the right hon. gentleman may find other members as willing to give the matter their attention. The medical treatment of the workhouse poor is notoriously wanting, and the medical profession knows it. If it were not for the sake of the interesting cases brought under the notice of young general practitioners —cases much better worth study than the ailments of private patients—no one would be found to undertake the task. As it is, unfortunately, there are too many men who accept such appointments and then grossl4. neglect the duties. TO LICENCED VICTUALLERS. ESTABLISZED 1842.

The John Bull is authorised to state that the vacant Canonry of Westminster has been conferred upon the Rev. Canon Prothero, and the stall thus vacated at St. Paul's is conferred upon the Rev. Robert Gregory, vicar of St. Mary the Less, Lambeth. The same authority denies that Mr. Disraeli has appointed the Rev. W. M. P. Pym•to the vicarage of Hughen den.—Mr. Macrorie sails early next month for the Cape, to be immediately consecrated. The Spectator gives as reasons for the absence ol Conservative feeling in Essex, the enfranchisement of the county Dissenters, the hatred incited by the clergy, who are everywhere preaching the doctrine of the Real Presence, and the growth of new towns. The same paper asks what will the Record say when it hears that its followers at Promo sent a written apology to Mr. Bennett for venturing to prosecute him, and subscribed £lOO to his " semi-Romish " Church. Some of the Norwich clergy have addressee a memorial to the Convocations of Canterbury and York, expressing the desire that they will take the proper steps to procure the royal license for the enaction of canons necess - try to procure better rubrical conformity, and to obtain the subsequent sanction of Parliament to such canons. A subscriber to the S. P. C. K. and the S. P. G. of thirty years' standing, threatens, m a letter to the John Bull, that if the committees should ever con template handing over any funds whatever to the arch-heretic of Natal, hundreds of the members of those societies would leave in a body, and either form new societies or else send their money to some orthodox bishop in the colonies. The Rock speaks of the Bishop of Dunedin as an unfortunate prelate, walking "to and fro upon the earth." We need hardly remind our readers to whom the expression was originally applied. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol is desirous of forming a fund similar to those already established in London and Liverpool, and of multiplying iron churches and supplying each with a curate and lay helpers. A SERIOUS CHARGE. A Bristol solicitor, whether justly or not, occupies at present a very unenviable position. A charge has seen brought against him of inciting others to riot. The evidence was that an attack being made upon the house of a confectioner, the Conservative com mittee-romo, and other places, Mr. Watkins was present on horseback, with the Liberal colours on his horse's head, shouting out to the mob " Go in—don't leave a pane ; give them Bristol Bridge. You have got bread and cheese, now get beer." The magistrate required bail to the amount of £l,OOO. It is almost incredible that a man of any position should by word or hint do anything to encourage the fearful amount of unreasoning brutality just now rife in the county. THE MARYLEBONE ELECTIONS. Some very serious allegations are made concerning the Marylebone elections. Chambers and Lewis were returned by overwhelming majorities ; but these majorities are said to have been very unfairly obtained. At a meeting held in Marylebone specially to take these allegations into consideration, several persons stated that the record of their votes had been varied by the poll-clerks. One elector had recorded his vote for Sandwith and Grant, and the poll-clerk had entered it Grant and Chambers. Another made a similar allegation, and recommended a scrutiny of the poll-books. The chairman said that he himself recorded his vote for Sandwith and Grant, and accidentally looking over the poll-book he saw the entry made as a plumper for Chambers. There were many other statements to the same effect. These statements suggest how alarming frauds might be carried out if only the poll-clerk is " got at." We hope sincerely that the stories may prove to be untrue. MR. HARTWELL. 4 • • Poor Mr. Robert Hartwell, reporter of the Beehire, is beaten everywhere. At Lambeth, at Stoke by the Liberal press, and before the Guildhall alderman. So strongly has he been condemned in some cases that he has thought it neces sary to put forth a defence. He asserts once again, most positively, that as far as he is personally concerned he has lost rather than gained by his can didature for Stoke. The amount of expenses are something over £350, and he has had given him only £2BO to meet them. He speaks of the injudicious conduct of the agent in handing to two strangers £2BO, forgetting, appa rently, that the agreement stipulated that it should be so handed over. Mr. Alderman Besley, when Mr. Hartwell appeared before him, asked if this agreement was a correct one. On being told that it was, he refused altogether to interfere in the matter, unless further evidence of felonious in tent were brought forward. ELECTION RIOTS. There is no service more distasteful to the soldier than quelling the disturbance of a mob. There is immense responsibility without any glory, and troops are seldom called in until all other means have failed. Intelligence from Drogheda states that the infantry being called out and the Riot Act read, two soldiers fired without orders, killing one man and wounding another. They were arrested. It is with some surprise and more satisfaction that we hear of no general engagement between the troops and the populace after this. Such a blunder might lead to the most terrible consequences. The authorities have their hands full all over the kingdom, and the public will not be inclined to judge them harshly if they exhibit a fair amount of discretion in the course they take. For those of the Murphy type, who have by their mischievous preparations rendered the elec tions in many places more like a civil war than a political contest, the contempt and disgust of the Mime mule Qllrliaftguarda future. EDUCATION FOE THE POOH:. An interesting letter appears in the • Times froin the Rev. Henry Moule, on the education of poor children. He declares that boarding-schools for the poor might be made self-supporting with very little effort. First claiming that boarding-schools are necessary to give good education, ho goes on to con tend that boys properly trained, by giving so much of their leisure time to the cultivation of land marked out for the purpose, might produce enough to keep them. Thus they might be " schooled " at no cost to their parents. But what educa tional effect would such a plan have ? Would it necessitate that the children should have no hours of real liberty for sport and play ? How much of the time (to produce such a result) would be taken up in manual labour ? Such questions as these are naturally suggested by Mr. Moule's scheme, and until they are answered satis factorily it is hardly likely to be put in practice. But at the same time there is hardly a doubt that boys at school might be made to support themselves in a great measure. The " half-time boys " of the manufacturing districts are not very f ar b e hi n d th e i r whole-time schoolmates, and are noted as being sharper. LITERATURE &C . Mr. Gladstone, according to the Athenetuin; - hits prepared for publication by Mr. Murray, " A Chapter of Autobiography," containing an explanation of his opinions on Church and State. The essay makes its appearance to-day, price half a crown.—Mr. Cooper, who is at the head of the expedition for the survey of the Yellow River, was refused by the Chinese authorities permission to cross over into Thibet, and fell back on the Bhama route.—The Society of Arts will meet on the 23rd November, Lord Henry Lennox giving the opening address.—Dr. Mosenthal has written a drama for Miss Bateman, with the title of " Pietro." It will be produced at the Hayma4et, • next month. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE. It will not be long now—three weeks at the most —before Parliament will havo met to consider measures calculated for the good of the nation. The papers are just foreshadowing what is likely to take place. The Imperial Review—which is in the confi dence of the clubs, if not of the G overnment—presumes that Mr. Assheton Cross, " who is about to succeed Mr. Gladstone in South-west Lancashire, and Mr. W. H. Smith, who has defeated Mr. Mill at West minster, will move the Address in reply to the Queen's Speech. But the Imperial Review is hardly in the confidence of the member for Greenwich, that it should be able to tell what he is about to do when he becomes Premier. Nevertheless, it announces, "On unquestionable authority," that Mr. Gladstone contemplates the creation of some fifty peers, in case of his accession to the Premier ship, "to enable him to carry through the Home of Lords the measures required to effect the subversion of the Church in Ireland." This is. Perhaps. rather put forward as a kind of threat that the House ofd Lords will not carry the bill which Mr. Gladstone. intends to propose s ,,.:.; wf . / - t • , f r The Irtant to be g less their re in' sassed where Timo raffle. d the 1 the ncsv `.,c) be coin' .CCU t, York is also ;Stoll, con ns of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1868.
