TmzusLl° JOUUNAL:3 Commenting on the proposed scheme for reforming the War Office, the Times says that it wishes to see the finance and the control departments united 'Under the control of one man of ability, and himself trusted and well supported by the War Office. But it is quite possible that this may be done even under the conditions which the Treasury has imposed. The definite scheme of the Government is the appointment of two officers, with equal rank and corre lative duties, instead of one more highlyplacedadministra tor. Sir John Pakington, in his speech last night, said that Sir Henry Storks was strongly of opinion that the Con troller-in-Chief ought not to be an Under Secretary of State, and that whoever held the office of Controller in-Chief must be, and ought to be, subjected to financial control and check. There is, then, it would seem, no such breach between this experienced officer and his employers as was suggested in one of the speeches. It may be that ib will be found advantageous at some future time to give the controller a higher position ; but we cannot see anl reason why the experiment of the new office should not be tried on the conditions approved by the Government. Yet, whatever may be the internal arrangements of the War Office, whoever may be the controller, and whatever checks he may bt subject to, this must be borne in mind—that Parliament and the country will know no one but the Secretary 0 , State. He is the Minister to whom alone the nation will look, and he will not be allowed to shift the least portion of responsibility from himself and his colleagues on to the shoulders of his own subordinates, whether temporary or permanent, whether soldiers or accountants. The Standard is not at all satisfied with the proposal: for reforming the War Office. It deeply regrets that it h obliged to dissent, in more than one particular, from th( views expressed in the correspondence by the Lords Com. missioners of her Majesty's Treasury. Those views appea•, somewhat narrow, and likely to do harm by the undue preference of economy to efficiency, and the introduction of a new element of confusion into the War Department in place of the extremely simple arrangements proposed b 3 the Secretary of State for War. The Lords Commissioners (not the Government, be it observed) consider that for the future the Controller-in-Chief should not have the rank of Under Secretary of State, and that his salary should be reduced from £2,000 to £1,500 per annum ; and they propose to create a principal financial officer with the same salary, " to comment and advise upon the pro posals" of the Controller-in-Chief, and they invite the Secretary for Wart° make any suggestions he may think fit with respect to the subordinate organisation of the de partments, and the salaries to be attached to the offices of controllers and other offices necessary for giving practica: effect to the reorganisation of the War Office. As a matter of course, the War Minister can only bow to the decision of the Treasury, though he is responsible to Parliament for the army estimates, and can show an actual saving on his own proposals. The result will be, that instead of the best men being induced to take these posts, than which their are no military offices of greater importance, the Control Department will cease to be attractive, and men of high ability will refuse to quit the service, in which they have at all events the possibility of command, for a civil appointment of this nature that is indifferently paid. It is not intended to lower either the salary or position of the Controller-in-Chief so long as Sir Henry Storks fills the :11 , 1){,inttnent ; but even though he is not to be treated like nu occasional waiter, as Colonel North remarked, his successor will, if the proposals of the Treasury be carries out, enter on an entirely different footing, and in a posi tion altogether inferior. The Times thinks that Lord Shaftesbury has little reason to be dissatisfied with the debate on his bill for securing uniformity of public worship. It chewed to the country, and to the Ritualists also, that all persons of authority, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, are prepared, if necessary, to repress extreme Ritualism by force of law. The question is merely when and how this shall be done. That, as it appears to the Times, is s very important result, and will answer all Lord Shaftes bury's purposes. Two reasons were quite conclusive against a direct sanction of his bill at the present moment. One is that, according to the Lord Chancellor, there is every prospect of the Judicial Committee pronouncing a final decision respecting incense and altar lights before the end of the year. It is obviously desi• rable to take advantage of this opportunity to know exactly how the law now stands. Should it prove that the existing law condemns those practices, the desired restraint will be obtained far more satisfactorily than by • any fresh legislation. Should the contrary be the case, •we shall know, at all events, the ground from which we start. The other consideration is, that no measure of the kind ought to be adopted except upon the responsibility of the Government. The question will doubtless be resumed next sess:on under better auspices. The rust observes that on Thursday the Irish Reform Bill was read a third time in the House of Lords and passed, thus marking the settlement of the entire question of Parliamentary Reform so far a 3 regards the extension of the franchise nod the reOistribution of ,seats throughout the United Kingdom. That the settlement which 19 thus been arrived at of a question which for years has been warmly agitated, and which proved a fatal stumbling- Liork to more than one Administration, will be final, is more than can be expected ; but it is certainly not unrea sonable to suppose that for at least a quarter of a century we shall bear nothing of the intolerable grievances of those who are kept " without the pale of the Con stitution." The fact is, that the measure introduced by a Tory Government, but practically carried by a Liberal majority, has left so few outside that pale ant no further advance can be made except by the establishment of universal suffrage. . The hard and fast line has disap. peared in boroughs, being replaced by a simple rating fran chise ; and although still retained in counties, will only vanish in them when the tide of democracy, having swept ,away in boroughs the distinction between those who pay and those who do not pay their rates, will deal similar havoc in the agricultural districts. If it be a merit, our Reform legislation at all events possesses that of leaving very little to be done in the same direction by those who succeed us. The Daily Neu's, commenting on the Euphrates Valley Railway, declares that the real difficulties of the scheme are political. The road would be immensely useful, would probably pay well, and would open new fields for commercial enterprise ; but how shall its continued possession be guaranteed to its owners ? The Turkish Government might even guarantee interest on the capital; but who shall guarantee the guarantors? France might look with more favour on the English scheme than that with which England regarded the favourite speculation of the French ; but even the Western Powers together might hesitate to guarantee the perpetual neutrality of a line which ran through the outlying territory of a decaying !State, and not far from the lands and seas of an ambition! 'and unscrupulous neighbour. What our own Government 'can do in the matter it is very difficult to see. There are some schemes which are born before their time, and whose realisation must be delayed, some things which must be spoken of for years before their accomplishment is possible, and we fear that in the present state of the Eastern ques tion this is one of them. The Telegraph notes the death of Samuel Lover, one of the moat charming songsters of his time—a songster, too, ; who could compose the Irish melodie3 to which he wrote '.inch tender and graceful poetry. Nor did Mr. Lover's claims to notice rest here. His mind offered a happy but uncommon combination of the literary and the artistic capacity. He was a poet, an accomplished musi cian, and a most talented artist. Years before " The angels' whisper," the " Four-leaved shamrock," and the " Low-backed car" had made him celebrated, he was known as a very able minia ture painter. He was a skilful etcher, too, and with his own hands illustrated two capital novels which be wrote, and the titles of which, at least—" Rory o' More" and " Handy Andy "—are as familiar in our mouths as household words. Mr. Lover's genius, perhaps, was not capable of the sustained flights which enabled :11I.Ore in the pride of his intellectual maturity to under take the compos7tion of laborious histories and voluminous biographies, and to emulate the Oriental triumphs of Byron in "Lalla Rookh." But his genius, if not vast, WAS sure. ENGLISH TAUGHT GRAMMATICALLY. —We have received from St. Gall, Switzerland, a circular, giving the prospectus of what is described as " The Students' Private Pension." Said " private pension" Pppears to be a Roman Catholic boarding-house, which, besides being situated near several public schools, offers '` to give a good occasion for acquiring and prerfectioning (sic) the knowledge of the principal modern languages, gram iie instruction being united with practical exercise. A t the head of the list of modern languages is placed " Engiish," and the ability of the writer to give " grammatical instruction" in it may be judged from the following—one of the paragraphs of the circular:— " The high recommandation, to which happily can be referred to, will be for this a better garanty as one's owne repeated ascertainments, but it may additionally be men tioned, that the reverend professor of catholic religion with the above named schools, as an early friend to the keeper of the pension, will do his best to aid him in the work of education." The last paragraph in this prospectus is, in its way, a gem of the English language:—" The prize of pension is fixed from 5 to G 2 the month, depending from the exigence of more or less troublesome private instruc tion including the pay for service, light heating and wabh. ing. It (what?. the washing ?) is to be performed in advance every three months. POST-OFFICE SAVINCS BANES.

MR. BRIGHT IN IRELAND. Mr. J. Bright, M.P., on his arrival in Limerick on his way to Castleconnell to visit Mr. Peabody, was entertained at a dejeuner. Alderman Quinliven presided. Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to some compliments by the chair man and Dean O'Brien, said—l wrote to Mr. Peabody two or three days ago—and I think he did not get my letter till yesterday—to ask him if he would excuse me from entering on any public demonstration during my short visit to him in this part of the country ; and the reason that oc curred to me for so writing was that after four or five months of hard work in the House of Common; every man who escapes from that uncomfortable place must wish to be free from discussion and those questions which had been pressing on his mind for months past. At the same time, know that this is a very important crisis, to which reference has been made, and for many years there has been no time, in my opinion, so interesting as regards the present and future of Ireland as the time through which we are now passing —(hear, hbar)—and if 1 could be of the slightest use by anything that I could say or do here to further your great cause, 1 should bo disposed entirely to cast aside every consideration of my own case or convenience. (Ap plause.) It is about nineteen or twenty years since I was in your city before ; and I spent some weeks in travelling around the South of Ireland; and in 's'2 I spent some weeks in travelling through tho North of Ireland with an Irishman well acquainted with this country, and the result of my observations and conversations with all those 1 met was to settle my faith with regard to Irish affairs in a manner that nothing since that time has been able to disturb. On the latter occasion, in 1852, I spoke to a large number of gentlemen as to the policy the Im perial Parliament ought to pursuo towards this country; and I la lieve that if I looked back to that speech I should be able to Ss my hand in approval on everything I then Laid. The more I consider all things affecting the inte rests of Ireland the more I am convinced that the appli cation of those just principles which are found chiefly in every other country will bo found useful and cffec:ivo if applied to this country. Amenst all the labours I have had in connection with political affairs in England, and in the English Parliament, nothing has taken more hold of my sympathies than what is called the Irish question ; and if I could be permitted to do anything to assuage the ;Inimosity in this country between certain classes, and be tween certain classes here and the people of my country, I think I would have achieved the greatest service during my lifetime that I could render to ray fellow-countrymen. Let me say, in conclusion, how much obliged I am for your kindness to-day. I feel greatly compensated for anything I have boon able to isayon your behalf, that Sou have ap preciated and received me with so much distinction and kindness on this occasion. (Cheers.)

A case for the Queen's Bench was asked for but refused. The Dublin Mail states that the meetings of the E-tablished Church Commission (Ireland) in London hav ing terminated, the Irish Commissioners are returning to Ireland to complete the report for publication. Dr. Ball, Q. 0., arrived on Wednesday morning. Other cases of sunstroke are reported from the counties of Waterford and Kilkenny, but in no instance has death followed. The Waterford Mail states that the intense heat has created quite a stampede among the cattle, who are rushing about the country half mad in all directions. Much rain fell throughout the eastern counties of Ireland on Tues day night, and has been felt as a great relief. THE FREE LABOUR AssocrsTroN.--On Thursday Colonel Maude and a deputation from the Free Labour Registration Association, London, attended a meeting of manufacturers, merchants, and others, in the Mayor's Parlour, Town Hall, Manchester, and explained the object of the association. Colonel Maude gave a history of the foundation, objects, and progress of the association. He stated that the association had received very limited support, and it had been placed in an unfortunate position in consequence of its only having been brought before the public in times of strikes and disputes. An old man has been sent to prison for three months, by the Barnsley magistrates, for using an ordi elinary oil-lamp under circumstances which, one would have supposed, would have rendered him alive to the madness of his conduct. He was employed at the well known Oaks Colliery, and ordered to grease some shafting where dangerous gas had accumulated. He knew that he could work safely with the "Davy," but, with utter disre gard to his own safety, went to the place with an ordinary oil-lamp. Fortunately he was obaerved, and the lamp ex tinguished, or another disastrous explosion would, in all pro bability, have occurred. Mr. Clapham, a member of the Leeds Town Conn ell, and proprietor of the Leads Royal Park, has been charged before the local magistrates with allowing music to be performed in the Park on Saturday and Sunday last, coLtrary to the terms of Lis license. Tho defendant, who had announc , ll his intention to try tha question, now ad mitted that he had no defence in regard to the performance on Saturday, lattns to that on Sunday, be said the music was sacred, not se cubr. The Bench considered the law had leen broken, and fined Mr. Clapham 20s. and costs for the offence cn Saturday, and £. and costs for that on Sunday. The fines ware paid, and Mr. Clapham intimated that he would continue the music. DUEL BETWEEN UNCLE AND NEPHEW.—An en counter with swords took place two days back in the Bois de Boulogne, near Auteuil, between two Bourse specu lators, MM. Eugene Norzy and Henry Cremieu, the former being the uncle of the latter. The affair originated in a mere trifle; some hasty expressions uttered at the Bourse six days before had led to an exchange of blows, but the parties agreed to defer the duel till after the liqui dation. The seconds of M. Norzy were his clerk and a writer in the Charivari, whilst those of M. Cremieu were two officers of the line. After a short combat, the nepliaw was slightly wounded in the breast, and the affair Vralinated. THE SUN, LO.NDDN, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1868, THE SER VIAN SKUPCIIINA. (From the Times' Correspondent) PESTH, July 5. This morning's mail has brought us details about the meeting of the Skupchina on Friday. As you will already know by telegram, the affair went off with eclat, and all had been so well arranged that the decision of the Assembly was not a moment in doubt. Not only the proclamation of Milan, as Prince of Servia, but likewise the election of the Regency and the arrangements about the civil list, went off as smoothly as could be desired. The Skupchina was not held in the town of Bel grade. An open wooden building, reminding one strongly of the sheds which adorn some of the model farms in England, and under which they stack corn, was erected in a meadow, or more pro perly a level piece of ground. - This meadow lies in the valley of Topchidere, about 400 yards behind the house which was the favourite residence of old Prince Miloch after he had raised himself to power. He built it in 1838, before he was driven away, and on his return in 1858 he resided there, and there he died. It was likewise to this house that the body of his son Michael was carried when brought out of the wood where he was murdered. From the barn erected for the Skupchina could also be seen the place in the woods where the mur der was committee. Probably all those circum stances may have contributed in the choice of the place for the Skupchina, and it must be admitted that the Regency has in this respect displayed much tact. On arriving from Belgrade by a bridle road that passes an hostelry called the Szerbski Gar, you reach an eminence immediately above the valley of Top chidere. Below you are the public gardens, on the left hand a church spire, a little further, though partly hidden by the trees, the houses of Miloch mentioned above, and close to it a large white building, the convict establishment, which, as you will remember, played so prominent a part in the Topchidere tragedy, the actual murder having been planned there. The question of having a convict establishment attached to a princely park is, of course, a matter of taste. Old Miloch, perhaps, rather enjoyed the clanking of chains, but to a European, whose nerves are probably more sensitive, the sight of fifty of these ruffians—of the best blood, mind you, in the country—is not agreeable, and you must likewise remember that these pleasure grounds are the only resort for the inhabitants of Belgrade. However, for the day when the Skupchina met the convicts were invisible. Above the principal entrance of the barn in ques tion there were the arms of Servia and three flsgs of the national colours. The interior was as mo dest, not to say bare, as the exterior. Same wooden steps led up to a raised dais, which was the place appointed for the principal personages, such as the members of the Provisional Government, the Me tropolitan, the clergy, and where, likewise, later in the ceremony, the young Prince Milan showed him self to the people. To the right of this was a railed platform for the Ministers, to the left the same for the Senators, and right and left of these places for the Consuls. The centre of the building was di vided into four sections of benches on which the members of the Skupchina sat. At about 8 o'clock in the morning the proceed ings began by Mr. Marinovich, the president of the Senate, and therefore chief of the Provisional Go vernment, reading to the assembly the maze and reasons for which they had been called together-- viz., to elect a new Prince, to grant a civil list, and to appoint a new Regency. He finished by pro posing to the Assembly to elect Milan Obrenovich IV. They answered by shouting that he was Prince by hereditary right, that all they had to do was to proclaim his accession, which they did amid loud cries of " Zivio !" One of the members for Belgrade, Caraherberovich, then thanked the Pro visional Government for the manner they had acted i❑ the emergency, and crared permission from the Assembly for another member to be heard. There ripen a priest or Pope mounted the rostrum, and asked the assembly to vote for the young prince as his civil list the same sum which had been granted to the " never-to-be-forgotten Michael." One short, sturdy peasant, mounting on his seat, cried, " We would rather give more than less," and the proposal of giving to the young Prince the same sum as his predecessor bad was approved. Then Marinovich said the Assembly must elect a Regency during the minority of the Prince, on which one menas)er proposed Colonel Milivoi Pitro vich Bliznavatz, the Minister of War, and one of the members of the Provisional Government ; he was immediately acc.Tted with acclamation. An other proposed Ristic, formerly agent of Servia at Conttantinople, and he. was likewise approved. Then the Assembly was told to choose a third to make up the number required by law; but they said, " We have full confidence in the two we have chosen ; let them, therefore, choose their own col league." _ _ _ ifarinovich explained that this would be scarcely legal, and that the Assembly itself must choose all the three members of the Regency. On this the Assembly shouted, " Let the two we have chosen propose some one, and we will elect him." Ristic then led forward Gavrilovich, and he was accepted. Gavrilovich was in 1861 Minister of Finance, and is repo , ted to be silent, acquiescing, and learned, being now Senator and at the head of a literary in stitution in Belgrade. The election of the Regency being over, the three Regents were sworn in by the Metropolitan, who w as in attendance, Colonel Blaznavatz repeating the oath in a clear, loud voice, the other two being scarcely audible. Then the Skupchina sang a solemn Rogaletta, an equivalent to " Long may they live," and the Metropolitan, in full robes, made a short speech, every one in the Assembly crossing himself. Thus was finished, in less than an hour and a half, the election of the Prince, the granting of the civil list, and the election of the Regency. The Skup china seemed in very good temper, shouting occa sionally " Zivio," or " Long life," the signal being given by a Senator named Jeremiah, who, from the platform on which the Senators were, waived his hat every time they were to shout. The Prince being elected and the Regency ap pointed, one of the gendarmes who were patrolling outside the building waved a white flag, on which the cannon posted on some heights above the con vict establishment fired a salute. Then the three members of the Regency went out to meet the young Prince, who was being brought to Topschidere in a carriage from Belgrade. In about half an hour be arrived, preceded by some cavalry. He was.dressed in the dark green uniform of a colonel of Artillery in the Servian army, and was mounted on a quiet chestnut horse belonging to the late Prince. Close to him rode Colonel Blaz navatz, the chief of the new Regency. The young Prince dismounted promptly, and kissed the bands of two or three archimandrites and bishops who received him at the door. He then entered the building and mounted on the rostrum. As be came in view of the assembly they shouted vociferously, " Zivio, zivio." The Prince then said a few words, in which be thanked them for their allegiance to his family, and hoped they would not expt.ct too much from him—a child. The Metropolitan and attendants then went through some religious ceremony, after which the Prince, mounting his horse, rode off, accompanied by Colonel Blaznavatz and his escort, to inspect some battalions of militia who were guarding the ground about the Skuptschina. There was a larger military force present than seemed exactly necos sary to keep the ground, but members of the Skup tschina took it all in good part, approving every thing, even their own shouting. The assemblage was mostly composed of peasants wearing the na tional costume ; an under waistcoat hooking up to the top, a jacket of coarse, home-made Bulgarian cloth, baggy breeches of thesame, and sandals called opaukas ;" fez caps were in strong force, some of them rather badly dyed, as the dye had stained the hair a purple coluur. After inspecting the militia at Topschidere, the young Prince rode back to town and inspected the militia of Belgrade, and afterwards attended at the Cathedral, All the troops took the oath of alle giance to him. Captain Marjailovitcb, in whose house, as you will remember, the copy of a proclamation was found calling on the youth of Belgrade to proclaim a:republic, was shot on Monday last, and Captain M. Caden Nevadovitch, a relation of Princess Alexandra Karageorgovitch, is likewise condemned to be shot ; being officers they were tried by court martial. The sentences of the other conspirators who were tried on the 27th were to have been published on the 29th ; but, as some of them have promised to make full confessions of their accomplices and insti gators, they are at present respited. It is reported that they incriminate very high personages. Thus you see all apprehensions which existed up to the last moment proved unfounded, and all passed quietly and satisfactorily to the persons immediately concerned. The public were but sparingly admitted to the ceremony. Colonel Blaznavatz, who was in the confidence of the late Prince, is for the moment master of the situation. He has the army in his hands, and has proved himself a determined and energetic man. Ristic, a representative of the National Servian party, was a great favourite. General Ignatieffs was the agent of Servia at the Porte, and believed to be a Russophile, but he has reached now a posi tion which makes him tolerably independent of pa tronage. He is considered very clever, and has likewise a will of his own. The third will be a non entity. Such are the men in whose hands the des tinies of Servia will be during the next few years. sarily be so, but, unless it is admitted that the law is to be impotent in these places where it is most required, affords no ex cuse for its present utterly unprotected condition. The wonder is that far more crimes are nut committed considering the small amount of police supervision provided. We have heard much lately of the unprotected state of certain parts of Italy, and severe lectures have been read to the Italians by some of our journals and politicians on the national disgrace entailed by such a state of things. But it is within the truth to say that there is not a single port in Italy where passengers cannot land with less trouble, inconvenience, and danger than they can at the port of London. The present state of things there is disgraceful, and affords grounds for an opiuion frequently expressed by foreigners that London is the most unsafe capital in Europe. We do not say the opinion is correct ; but that a strong first impression of general insecurity of life and property should be made upon strangers arriving in London by boat is only the natural consequence of the present unprotected state of the shores of the Thames below London-bridge.— Pall-Mall Gazette. BOROUGH OF HACKNEY LIBERAL REGISTRA.7ION ASSOCIATION. Yesterday evening a meeting of this association was held at the Old Town Hall, Hackney, Mr. A. Ayshford presiding, and a large number of influen tial gentlemen being present. The CHAIR3IAN,!after having referred to the advan tages which were sure to result from the operations of the Association, called upon The SECRETATRY, who stated that the four can didates for the representation of the borough had been invited to attend. Two candidates had sent letters of apology, but he was glad to see their friend Mr. Homer, one of the candidates amongst them. (Cheers.) At the request of the CHAIRMAN, Mr. J. J. HOMER then moved the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That this meeting re spectfully calls upon the Liberal electors of this borough to support the Borough of Hackney Liberal Registration Association, and pledges itself to pro mote the objects of the association." I must con fess, sir, that to my mind the franchise as extended by the Reform ACt of last year has been hedged round with vexatious and mischievous restrictions. The object of the Government, in my opinion, was to 'defeat the fair and legitimate operation of a measure which had for its object the securing a wider basis of popular representation. (Loud cheers.) This has been most decisively shown by the action of the ucjust and oppressive ratepaying clauses, the evil effects of which have been universally recog nised. I cannot help expressing a feeling that the working classes, upon whom it was intended that the act should specially confer a voice in the repre sentation- of the country, are embarrassed in the exercise of their suffrages, and a gross injustice in flicted upon them. (Hear, hear.) And not only arethe occupiers of property heretofore compounded for subject to this monstrous wrong, but Mr. as raeli, with that marvellous political dexterity which appears to be his main characteristic, has endea voured, while professing to confer the boon of the " lodger franchise," so as to encumber the gift with conditional obligations as to render it of no value whatever. (Loud cheers.) Aware of the poiition in life ordinarily filled by those who are "lodgers," the right hon gentleman has taken special care to throw in the way of their successfully claiming the fran chise all those special difficulties which that' very position would give rise to. These difficulties, in my opinion, will be most severely felt in the larger provincial towns and in metropolitan constitu encies, where the " lodger" element is peculiarly strong. Among the latter there is not one, per haps, in which the subject of the lodger franchise assumes a higher importance than in the newly formed borough of Hackney. (Cheers.) The character and employment of its population aresuch as necessarily to create a very large proportion of " lodgers ;" and there is the most urgent necessity that the fullest facility should be afforded those persons for claiming and recording their votes. I shall therefore most cordially aid this association in any efforts to achieve this desirable end—(cheers) — as I feel it to be the duty as well as the privilege of every earnest and consistent advocate of Liberal principles jealously to preserve and guard the rights which the act of last session intended to secure to classes hitherto unrepresented in the Parliament of the nation. (Loud cheers.) Entertaining these opinions, I can offer no better proof of ray hearty sincerity than by simply subscribing my 10 guineas on behalf of this association, and I desire to express my sincere regret that Mr. C. Reed, to whom the association was so much indebted in its earlier stages, and Mr. John Holms, another candidate for the borough, have been prevented from being pre sent to advocate its claims. I cannot help at the same time urging upon every earnest member of the great Liberal body in the borough to support this movement by a simple subscription of one shilling, which is all that is asked for. By an earnest and united effort on the part of the Liberal party, I feel assured of ultimate success. (Cheers.) Mr. SIMPSON having seconded the resolution, Mr. KNIGHT, after referring to the importance of this subject to the working classes, paid a compli ment to the manner in which Mr. Homer bad handled it, and supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously. After some minor inquiries, the question was raised as to whether membership of the association confined the members to voting for particular candidates ; to which the secretary replied in the negative. A discussion ensued as to the recent decision of the law courts with regard to the claims of lodgers in tenements where there were more than two occupiers, the landlord not being resident ; and the secretary having offered explanations on this point to the effect that the recent decision was that occu piers of .such tenements would not possess the vote, the matter dropped. Mr. J. F. HARTLEY then moved, and Mr. OGAN seconded, the following resolution :—" That this meeting urges all qualified occupiers in the borough of Hackney to take immediate steps to secure their registration on the next Parliamentary register." The latter gentleman urged the necessity which was imposed upon the Liberal party of taking every pre caution, as it was credibly asserted that, two Con servative candidates would be started by the borough ; and it was of paramount importance that every Liberal should take care to secure his vote. (Cheers.) The resolution having been unanimously adopted, Mr. FORSAITII moved, and Mr. W. GREEN Bd conded, a third resolution as follows : —" That this meeting advises all qualified lodgers to obtain the forms of claim supplied by this association, and, having duly filled up tho same, to return them to the secretary of the association before the 25th day of August next." The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

ST. THOMAS OF CANTERBURY. The following has been addressed to a con temporary by Lady Herbert of Lea : _ An appeal has two weeks ago been put forth in your columns on behalf of the restoration of the church of St. Thomas of Canterbury, at Rome. To many this appeal may appear almost as an unfair strain on the charity of English Catholics, for the subject is little understood amongst us, and one great defect of our insu lar training and character is to prevent our taking much interest or feeling much sympathy in any works which we fancy to be extraneous. But if we will consider the question more fully, and inquire into the previous history of the church, to the completion of which we are asked to give our alms, we shall find that no appeal has, in fact, been ever made to Eng lish Catholics which is more strictly national in its character, and which should more pro perly enlist the sympathies of the English people. There is not a Catholic on the face of the earth who does not instinctively turn to Rome as his home : as the centre from which ema nate unity, strength, and peace, like the rays from the summer's sun. This feeling is so universally recognized that there is not a Christian nation which, from the earliest times, did not give proof to the world of its faith and piety by erecting a church of its own in that which may eminently be called the " Holy City," and adorning it with all that wealth and art could devise to make it worthy of its sacred purpose. England was not behind-hand in the race. As early as the eighth century of the Chris tian era, she had raised a church under the invocation of the Most Holy Trinity, which was included in the number of the twenty pri vileged abbacies of Rome, whose abbot assisted the Sovereign Pontiff when he solemnly cele brated the ivine Mysteries. In those Anglo- Saxon days, which we are apt to look upon as barbarous, but when, if men wore uncouth garments and strewed their floors with rushes instead of carpets, they yet gave proof of a burning zeal for God's honour and a lively faith, which -we, of this nineteenth century, well might envy, King Ina came.to Rome and built a church, hospital and school, with a house for the reception of pilgrims. The Borgo adjoining the Vatican became soon entirely English or Saxon, as its name " Santo Spirito in Sassria". sufficiently testifies. Then Eng lish saints began to be venerated on Roman altars, and churches were everywhere dedicated in their honour. In the Archives 'of the Vatican there is a letter still extant of Pope Alexander 11. to William the Conqueror, praising-him and the English for their devotion to the Holy See in erecting and maintaining a Church in Rome under the shadow of St. Peter. A century late; the English removed from that quarter, and established themselves in the Via del Monserrato, where they again erected a church, a home for pilgrims, and a college for their students. After the glorious mar tyrdom of St. Thomas of Canterbury, the church was rebuilt, and dedicated to the Holy Trinity in honour of that great saint. Docu ments, which are still preserved in the English College, prove that the consecration was per formed by the Pope himself, Eugenius IV., and that with great splendour ; the Bishops of Rome, from the time of Gregory the Great until now, having always shown their paternal interest in the little island, once called "of the saints," and that in a marked and special man ner. It was meet that St. Thomas should be the patron of the English Church at Rome, since he had shed his blood in defending the rights of that Church in his own land, and in main taining intact the authority of the Vicar of Jesus Christ. The cause for which he died is the cause of Catholics in all ages : the freedom of the Church from the oppression of the Civil • Power. And so ages passed by. And when time and its consequent inevitable decay began to mar the fair work which Eugenius had blessed, Cardinal Howard undertook to rebuild it under the same patronage, but with still greater splendour; and the new Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury was consecrated in 1575, which remained until the beginning of this century the glory of the Catholics of England. But then came the storm of the great Re volution, convulsing the nations of Europe, and sweeping away, as with a whirlwind, all that told of the Faith which men held most sacred. Rome did not escape. The French took possession of the city, and their first fury was directed against -the English Church, which they unroofed and finally destroyed; and then proceeded, according to a system now, alas! almost universal in Italy, to evict the students from the college, and to convert it into a barrack. Yet, even then, the project of repairing the sacrilege thus committed was formed ; and,, on the departUre of the French from Rome, the first stone was laid of a new sanctuary; when unforseen difficulties came upon the work, which was first interrupted, and then suspended indefinitely. This was the state of things when Cardinal Wiseman came to Rome as a student. He found only a few columns standing, with a window said to have formed part of the origi nal foundation ; all the rest was a perfect wreck. For sixty years has our national church thus laid. in ruins, although the col lege has been restored to its original pur poses. And yet, for an ecclesiastical seminary, a fine Church is even more necessary than strict discipline ; in order to instil into the minds of the students a due love for and ap preciation of the Church's services, and to im bue them with a fervent zeal for her honour, which may make them effective priests in their future sphere of work in our own home mis sions. The Cardinal felt this strongly, and when the time came for power to be placed in his hands, hepublished a letter from the " Sacred Congregation," with a preface from himself, strongly urging the necessity of the work, and calling upon the faithful to assist him in carrying it out. He considered, in the words of this letter :—" That the new edifice could not be better placed than by the side of that college which its founder, Pope Gregory XIII., and his zealous co-operator, William Allen, an English nobleman, designed to be a seminary for useful missionaries, and a strong bulwark of the Catholic faith for the kingdom of England—a college of which Cardinal i3aro thus, in his note to the Roman Martyrology, has written, that his century had the honour of seeing many of its sons gain the crown of martyrdom, and become heroes of priestly for titude." A simple inscription in the upper corridor records at this day the passion and crown of those five-and-forty youthful martyrs, who, in the great persecution of England, gave their lives for the testimony of Jesus Christ. But other works pressed upon the Catholics of England, and this letter produced but small fruit, while the Cardinal's death soon after put a stop to the plan he had formed for promoting the undertaking. Yet the thousands of men and women who flock yearly to Rome require more and more a church with pastors of their own race and speech ; especially for those who, though' they may learn the language of a foreign country enough for the common uses of life, rarely attain to that command of it which is necessary for the ministration of the Church, especially in the time of sickness, or at the hour of death. Even without this con sideration is it not a disgrace that we should be the only nation not possessing a national church in the capital of Christendom, whilst Scotland and Ireland have theirs ? This work has, likewise, been specially blessed by him who now sits in St. Peter's Chair, and who, to testify his hearty sympathy in whatever tends to strengthen the growing faith of Eng land, himself deigned to lay the first stone of the new building, and delivered a most touch ing allocution on the occasion. Let us, then, as Englishmen and as Catholics, rouse ourselves from the apathy which has crept upon us with regard to this work, and do our utmost for its accomplishment. Let us try and banish the utilitarian view of the matter which is so apt to take possession of our minds, and look upon this question, as, indeed, it is, as a matter of principle. For, as the letter to the cardinal already quoted justly says, "No proposal could be more welcome than that of raising a memorial to the martyr of the Church's liberty at a time when it is too evi dent how openly this prerogative of her divine constitution is bearing the brunt of a war of hypocrisy and parricide, waged by a faction who, amidst feigned professions of recognising so essential an attrib ate of the Church, and. of her august Visible Head, are contesting at every step any free exercise of her j uris diction, her mission or her teaching, and ques tioning the rights of her patrimony." Let us give, then, freely of our alms and prayers, of our thoughts and time, to the ful filment of this double object. Let us strive to atone to our beloved Holy Father for the insults heaped upon him from without by in creased zeal in carrying out his lightest wish; so that once more a sanctuary may be raised worthy of the saint whose name it will bear, worthy of the people for the liberties of whose Church he suffered—above all, worthy, as far as human temples can be, of the reception of Him who has promised to be with His Church " all days, even unto the end of the world." We will conclude in the words of our vener able Archbishop preached in the Church of St. Carlo in Rome, "It is, therefore, a season able and excellent purpose to r eb u ild in Rome the Church of St. Thomas the Martyr. We cannot gather up his dust from the soil of England, nor restore his tomb in the glories of Becket's crown at Canterbury; but we may give back to him his sanctuary in the Holy City. Of old, pilgrims wore deep paths in the lanes of Southern England to visit Becket's shrine ; now they will find him where he came for shelter, by the side of the Vicar of Christ. The ruin of the great Revolution which burst upon the opening of this century, destroyed his church. We owe him a reparation. And we, English, who are his sons, and are of one faith, will not be backward. We owe it to him for the outrages and sacrileges of the so-called Reformation, and for all the dishonour done to him and to the Church beloved even to the death lt is well in theie days, when on every side the world rings with voices clamouring for the rights. of man, for the rights of freedom, of liberty in every form, — of speech, of action, .of revolution, to raise a witness to the rights of God. St. Thomas died for these rights. The - witness passes to his crown, but the cause can never pass away. Principles are eternal, and the liberties of the Church, though always violated, are imperish able. Übi Spiritus Domini, ibi libertas.' And the voice of the Holy Ghost through the Church redeems the world from the bondage and abuse of human wills. ' Simon, may die, but Peter lives for ever.'" WHY THE ARMY MEDICAL SERVICE 18 UNPOPULAR. Army medical officers have certainly received every_ encouragement to perform their duties zealously and efficiently in any future campaign. They can scarcely have failed to observe that in the vote of thanks proposed in Parliament to the army of Abyssinia there was one department conspicuous by its absence. Whilst thanks were handsomely ac corded to many officers, who were individually men- . tioned, no notice whatever was taken of the head of the Medical Department, who, besides being senior in rank and service to other and more for tunate individuals, had highly distinguished himself on previous occasions, and was well known to be a man of great capacity and varied experience. Nothing could have been more unjust, or better calculated to disgust the members of the Depart ment. The omission, under the circumstances, amounts to an implied censure. We have been told that it was by inadvertence only, as if that mended the matter. It is this systematic inadvertence of which medical officers and we complain. There was cestainly no excuse for it on the present occasion, as the services of the Department had been warmly acknowledged by Sir R. Napier, and ►were particularly adverted to by her Majesty in the despatch forwarded by Sir Stafford Northcote. We simply express a well-known fact when we say that its members con tributed in a very prominent degree to the success of the undertaking. Before a soldier had set his foot in the country, and when it was the fashion for even well informed people to prophesy all sorts of evils, there were several medical o fficers, as we happen to know, who had made themselves thoroughly acquainted with the class of diseases incidental to the climate, and ascertained the salubrious character of the highlands as compared with the littoralof the Red Sea. The medical occurrences which actually ensued were shadowed forth and provided against. The organisation at Bombay for the equipment of regimental and field hospitals, and other matters, was alone sufficient to test the administrative capa cities of those engaged in it. A medical officer accompanied Colonel Merewether's reconnoitring party, studied their climate and topography, and ascertained, as far as practicable, s the natural pro ducts and water-supply, along the line of route. The hospital ships were provided and equipped in this country, and sufficient praise has certainly not been bestowed upon them, for they are allowed to have done excellent service. When the troops first landed, and before anything like a field hospital could be organised, the sick of the force were received on board these vessels, and some of the troops were indebted to them for supplies of clothing and other articles before commencing their march towards Magdala. It was allowed, we believe, that they were fitted up as well as any ships could have been for such a ser vice. The medical officers shared all the labours and ran all the risks of the campaign: It was a medical officer who carried Captain Roberts off the field, and subsequently amputated his arm. It was owing to their _admirable sanitary arrangements and foresight that the health and efficiency of the force were preserved ; and, relatively to other officers . , a larger number of medi cal men, moreover, died in Abyssinia. No one would Venture to deny the truth of all that we have said, and at least of all who were present during the campaign ; yet the labours of the me dical service have been entirely ignored, and the name of the officer on whom the responsibility of all the medical and sanitary arrangements devolved was omitted in the vote of thanks accorded,by Par liament to the Abyssinian army. Had those ar rangements broken down there might have been no Abyssinian army to return, instead of a vigorous and healthy farce, flushed with victory and expec tant of its rewards.-7he Lancet.

Though thousands of Englishmen leave this coun try for the purpose of Continental travel and return again in the course of the year, comparatively few of them are acquainted with the pleasures incident to a departure from or an arrival at the port of London. Most of them prefer land to water, and they generally belong to a class which can afford to gratify its inclinations, and the consequence is that while they are to be seen in crowds on what are called the short sea routes, they are scarcely ever to be met with on the numerous boats which ply between London and the various seaports of the Continent. Did more of them adopt this latter mode of travel it is probable that the present plea sures of the inhabitants of Wapping might be con siderably diminished, but, by way of compensation, the cnnfoits of the many foreigners whose first experience of English ways and manners is generally picked up in this district would be propor tionately increased. For it is certain that English travellers would never stand what the unfortunate stranger who cannot speak our language is com led to put up with. As it is, foreigners have not the knack of making known their grievances in the papers, but they submit withsheeP-lik e Patience, and the nuisance continues, a n d i n likely to continue until the guardians of the city can be aroused to a sense of their duty, for they alOne have the power, or, we believe, the right to put a stop to it. On the ' whole, the nuisance i s greater t o those who arrive at than to those who depart from the port; but the lesser nuisance is bad enough. The moment a cab arrives loaded with boxes and portmanteaus at any of the various steps which lead down to the river it is surrounded by a crowd of ill-favoured roughs, who do not offer, but force, their services upon the occupant of the vehicle. if the latter be ac customed to travelling and acquainted with the ways of his officious friends, he may awe them by a de termined manner, keep their hands of his " traps," and get these latter conveyed to the boat he wants to reach easily enough ; but if, as is more often the case, the occupant be a lady—especially an old one —or a foreigner, or an inexperienced youth, he or she has the felicity of seeing how in England the goods of the stranger are seized by a multitude of hands and conveyed goodness knows whither. Generally, after a good deal of unnecessary bother, higgliug and haggling and squabbling, and gross imposition on the part of the porters, the luggage is placed on the. right boat, but it by no means unfrequently hr.ppens that one or more packets have been stolen in the hurry and confusion. On an average,. four or five timcs too much is paid to the porters and to the boatmen who row the goods and the passenger from the steps to the steamer. Bat the real time for both boatinen and porters to wake a good harvest is on the arrival of a vessel in the river. As soon as the vessel is anchored it is surrounded with small boats, and its deck is boarded by ticketed peelers. Both porters and boatmen are civil to excess until they have got two or more pas gradual change. sengers with their luggage safely the boat and have pushed off from the vessel towards the steps, de a termin e d, but not gentlemen to pay their some few yards distancei but before reac hi ng the islf a meek i n di v id ua l then bn,g.h " e probably i n f ormed (not s eA t x e ta p efi s t lrys t h t n e n i t r m ch isvyiawill nnlael manner r nasker fundergoesoinra, i fares r b e s e fore how l a m n u d c i certainly, for the demand varies astonishi ng l y ) t h a t it is 2s.

If the passengers are meek they pay, inwardly cursing their extortioners, but pre ferring payment to a row. if one or more of them should object to the dem and t here is sure to be a disturbance—sometimes a n an g r y one —with a good deal of queer language on both sides. In the end if will the l passenger tak e him t is sufficiently shore and determined, the boatman receive a shilli ng or l ess , in place of the four or fiv e or m ore which he at first demanded. But such ins tanc es of determination are rare. The great majo rit y of those who reach England by the sea route are f oreigners, many of them very young, coming to London to begin life in business, and most, if not all of them, availing themselves of the route for the sake of economy. do N in Not knowi ngtheir ow our language, ohhtres; and not seeing, as they officials in unif orm , t o whom they may a ppeal for protecti on , th ey are practically in the power of their extortioners, and have to pay whatever tribute is demanded of them. We could mention several cases which have come under our own knowledge. Not very long ago a young Dane came to London by this route. He had never before left Copenhagen, where honesty is the rule, even among cabmen and boatmen. On his arrival in the Thames he was conveyed from his steamer with one small portmanteau to the Tower steps, and modestly charged four .shillings. He could not speak the language. He dare not confront the boatmen alone, and no policemen or man in any kind of uniform was to be seen, so he paid the sum demanded and his portmanteau was carried up the steps by a porter and placed on a cab. The porter, elated at the success of the boatman, demanded the same amount, but eventu ally condescended to take 3s. for having carried him burden ten yards. Only the other day a Swede arrived at the same place. He had two port manteaus, a stick, an umbrella, a great coat, and rug done up into one parcel. He was made to pay a shilling for the conveyance to the steps by the boat for each parcel, and a shilling for the convey ance from the steps to the cab, and in both cases his stick, umbrella, and rug were counted as sepa rate pieces of luggage, and in all he paid 10s. Nor are these cases exceptional. It may be said that foreigners should resist such extortion ; but the array of roughs who crowd all the steps at which boats are expected is somewhat formidable, and in case of a disputed fare they have an ugly threatening way of crowding round and hustling which is quite enough to intimidate men of strong nerves, much more females or strangers who know not the country or the language. That such intimidation should be used and be successful is disgraceful. The laws and regulations on the subject are good enough, and sufficient for all purposes. According to them each waterman may charge Gd. for the conveyance of a passenger, and 2d. for each piece of luggage, and the porters can make a similar charge for loading and unloading. But the Itw is a dead letter, for there is never any official present to en force it. The very simple plan of having a police man placed day and night at each of the steps would be amply sufficient to protect strangers and to enforce the law ; but at the present time not only is no such provision made, but a policeman is scarcely ever to be seen in the neighbourhood. As a matter of course the neighbourhood is a particu larly bad one. Near so large a port it must'neces- Marriages. BELL —NOEL--On the Bth inst., at Holy Trinity, Upper in Tooting, John T.
