The members of the House of Commons have certainly no easy task this weather in settling the Irish Reform Bill, but as so much time has been wasted at the outset of the Session there is nothing for it but to make up for lost time now. As might have been expected it was no easy task. Before going into committee the Government was re quested to withda aw the redistribution part of the bill on account of its unpopularity. This sugges tion, as might have been expected, led to a long discussion of the pros and cons of the affair. The consequence of it was, however, that it expedited the work afterwards, and the bill actually passed through committee, which is a great thing to have accomplished. Mr. GREGORY made some very wise remarks on the subject of deferring the redistribu tion part of the bill, declaring that it would not do fur the House to profess itself incompetent to pass a complete measure for Ireland, and he proposed that they should take the most spirited course of fighting over what difficulties might lay in their path of progress. Mr. DISRAELI promised that due attention should be given to the progress made, and when the redistribution part of the bid came on for consideration he postponed some of the chief clauses for future consideration. Having effected so mucb, the task of settling will be much easier when the work is again resumed, an d had it not been for the ingenious process of skipping it would have been quite impossible to attain the desired end of passing through com mittee. There was only one division, and that of no particular moment. Mr. LAWSON, the member for the smallest borongh in 'lreland, endeavoured to make a stand in favour of those occupiers in boroughs that are rated at £4, in contradistinction to the Government scheme that fixes the standard at more than 11. Portarlington was not rescued from the fate originally designed for it, and Lord Mayo showed that, by consenting to the amendment, they would unsettle the rating system of the whole Island, and only add two thousand to the borough electors when put in force. It is not surprising thr, under these circumstances, the Com mons should have rejected the proposal altogether, although some limitation was afterwards suggested in respect to it. Mr. DISRAELI has pro seised that the bill shall be resumed the first thing on Monday, so that there is every chance of its being speedily completed. Mr. CIIILDERS must unnecessarily interfere again on the subject of the supplies being taken for nine months only, and went over the whole ground ag lin, declaring that he must enter his protest "for constitutional precedents'" sake against i.h.l course proposal by the Chan cellor of the Excheiner. It might have been all very well for one to have entered on this tspic, but there was quite enough said last week on the ques tion, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer's argu ments were quite complete in their way. Mr. CHILDERS is one of those who are of the samelopi nion still, because he has been convinced against his will, and accordingly he yesterday inflicted on the Noose aeoller of his lectures on the expediency of following in the steps of Lord RUS3EEL in nil. It is rally very idle to talk in this strain, and the notion of precedent after is rather a mistaken one. Why cannot the statesmen of the present day act in the manner they think the best for the interests of the public service without troubling themselves to ransack the pages of Hansard to see if a noble lord of the past generation did such a thing half a century ago, or to speculate if to follow this plan wou'd be in accordance with the directions laid down by a particular class of politicians. Mr. CHILDERS failed to show that the state of affairs that existed in 1841 was analogous to that of the present complication. Lie may well ask, when on the subject of precedents, where Mr. The House of Lords, which is generally con sidered rather indolent in its manner of conducting business at this season of the year, is now reversing the usual order of things, and while the Commons are wasting their time in personal altercations and somewhat vidonary schemes, the Peers are occupied in discussing a good many minor matters of prac tical interest and importance to the public. Last evening several bills were advanced a stage, and motions were made which occasioned some in teresting debate. Among those which are likely to be really of practical service was tho clause which Lord REDESDALE proposed to insert in the Sale of Poisons Bill. Ills lordship very sensibly suggested that it should be made compulsory that poisons should be sold only in one particular form of bottle—a provision which would certainly avoid many distressing accidents, and save many lives. This is not the first time that a proposal of the kind has been made, and we believe it was once suggested that poison bottles should be coloured, but that precaution would be valueless in the dark. If the bottle were of a par ticular size and shape, so that the most careless or ignorant person must immediately on grasping it become sensible of the difference the risk of acci dents would be very much lessened. The reason why the change was not specially advocated by the PharmaceutiCal Society was because they feared it might be troublesome ; but general security on such a matter is surely worth a little trouble. Besides, as Lord REDESDALE justly remarked last evening, when once it became known that poisons were to be sold only in particular bottles, and when it was made unlawful not only to sell poisons in other bottles, but to sell things not poisonous in this particular form, much trouble would be saved and the risk very much lessened. As it is, we aro constantly hearing of sad accidents arising from the careless use of poisons whether they are used as medicines or employed for any domestic business purpose. Our sick nurses, we may hope, are rapidly improving in knowledge and skill; but then must still remain many ignorant and uncultivated women among them, and there will always be amateur nurses among the lower classes, who may be very clever and successful in attending to the patient, but who are very liable to make blunders in deciOering written directions. Among the revelations from some of our pro vincial workhouses it was discovered that many cf the pauper nurses could not read or write. Fatal mistakes, too, are often made in the dim and uncertain light of a sick room, and these would be entirely prevented by the employment of peculiar bottles. In spite of every warning, and of the sad accidents which they see and hear of arising from carelessness, some persons will always be heedless in such matters, and it is well that some decided precautions should be taken in the public interest. The report of the medical officer to the Privy Council two years ago dwelt strongly on the danger to life from the indiscrimi nate sale of poisons in village shops. The act which last night passed through committee, pur poses to make certain examinations compulsory upon all persons practising as chemists. and while the Pharmaceutical Society is to conduct the examinations the Privy Council is to b.! the central authority, and its approval will be necessary for any regulations of the sale of poisons which the society may think it necessary to propose. The noble lord, the President of the Privy Council, while approving of the bW introduced, by his pre decessor, observed that he should be glad to see more restraint put on the sale of opium, for there w as ample evidence that it was destructive to human life throughout the country. We may hope that the passing of this bill will lead to increased legislation in all such matters, and that such lamentable disasters we now constantly hear of may henceforward be of rare occurrence. women.

TIIFIE LATE EDITION of "TIIE SUN" Rt smrnrs, "Can-ri;gi Stoma," 73, Park-street, Camden While the question of how bet to deal with the difficulties attending the education of the masses is occupying much of the time and thoughts of our statesmen, it is will th it some important topics, relating to the mental training of a higher rank should not be altogether overlooked. England has always been justly proud of her public schools, which, though in many ways itnpetfect, have yet succeeded, generation after generation, in sending forth to the world good scholars and high-minded gentlemen. Their merits, however, are no reason why their deficiencies should be overlooked ; they are rather au additional incentive to supply what is lacking, and to remove what is superfluous, in order that they should at tain a yet higher standard. In the House of Lords last evening Lord STANHOPE introduced the sub ject, and earnestly contended for some change in the manner of conducting the studies at our great public schools. His lordship deprecated the exces sive attention now given to classical composition, n which comparatively few boys can excel, to the exclu.ion or neglect of science, modern languages, and even mathematics, which some thirty years ago were not even thought of at Eton. Earl STANHOPE, we are glad to find, does not join with Mr. LOWE in denouncing the classics altogether. On the contrary, he admits that the studies of the public schools should have a classical basis, only ho would .like to see less time employed in the construction of Latin and Greek verses, which, after all, are often more an exercise of ingenuity than anything else. It is a very different thing for boys to study the works of the great masters of ancient literature and to construct with much time and labour verses for which they have perhaps no natural turn.

Red Ifu ll Wharf, Aniel-pa,:san 93, Upper Thames street, London, E.C, PRIYCESS"S THEATRE. Last evening a Mr. Allerton made his first ap pearance in London as Hamlet. The house was very full, and an event of some interest was evi dently expected. On the entry of Mr. Allerton, in the second scene of the tragedy, he was most warmly welcomed. He is a gentleman above the middle height, with good stage qualifications as far as per sonal appearance is concerned, but his voice is harsh, and so ill governed that his warmest friends must have experienced far from plea sant sensations even so early iu the tragedy as Hamlet's first interview with the Ghost. Here in breaking from Horatio and Marcellus, Mr. Aller ton let loose the whole torrent of his passion, and gave the first unmistakeable evidence of a want of discretion, and to such an extent that the very fine lines commencing, " Thihand me, gentlemen," was positively bawled out in the most rugged style. Want of feeling was again apparent in the plat form scene, a tone of affection was altogether absent, and where Mr. Allerton furnished us with an original reading of the text, it seemed en tirdy opposed to the meaning of the great and immortal author. The first interview between Polonius and Hamlet was remarkable for novelties. In making reply to the old man's inquiry with re spect to the book held in hand, Hamlet is made to say, "Words, words," but Mr. Allerton gave addition to the effect by tearing the leaf from out the volume and throwing it at the feet of Polonius. Again, we have to take objection to the manner in which Mr. Allerton gave the well-known words, " except my life, except my life." It seemed most extraordi nary that he should address them to Polonius as an invitation to kill him. The fine soliloquy commencing—" Why what a rogue and peasant slave am I" was Mr. Allerton must forgive us for saying—cut up by the roots. Nothing like it has ever been done at the Princess's before, and although the applause that followed it was load, it seemed to come mostly from a portion of the house upon which least reliance ought to be placed by an actor. Without going entirely through the character we may say Mr. Allertou has much to study before he can justify his claim to such parts as Hamlet. It may b 3 that the excitement of a first appearance disconc Tied him, therefore before expressing a decided opinion as to hii merits ; we shall take another opportunity of judging his his trionic abilitLa. The other parts of the tragedy were supported by Mr. Leeson, Mr. Shore, Mr. B. Potter, and Alls Elsworthy with their accustomed ability.

Uniformly big' Pressures are reported this =ruing at all stations : the increase in the north during the last twenty-four hours has been upwards of three -tenths of an inch, but at stations in the southern and western districts, the difference between readings is but slight. In the west of Ireland a slight decrease is shewn since last evening. Temperature has risen in the south and west of our islands. The winds yesterday were generally light. and from N.W. to S.W. This morning calms prevail on the Channel coast : on the Irish coast the wind is light and south-westerly, hut variable elsewhere. The weather is generally dry, and the sty overcast ; but at Greencastle a little rain is reported.

Some time ago we copied from the French journals a s t t a i‘ t e f m a l e t a n . t s o h t e h Li e b ff rr e t c e t e t s h p a e e t i y e r r e e w pr a e s s e s n e r t i e o d u s d the i s u e o a n l t t e e n e e t as downright seditious and treasonable. None of our own advices have confirmed these reports. We now learn that the elections have just taken place, that only 1,300 out of about 2,500 electors took the trouble to vote, and that the retiring members were re-elected. The Af«lta Obserrcr says :--" A f cr th's result, we may safely predict that the heroic petiti n t ) the House of Commons, asking for all sorts of nice hin_s, will be dropped for want of support from the pr.blic Of course, a discontented minority of c'ever citizens will always exist, and all the good we can wish them is to make less noise, and be ju4e.l by their deeds, not words." The new United States Minister to this country is a fortunate man. The exceeding popularity of Mr. Adams rendered the position of his successor more than usually diffi cult. It seemed scarcely possible that the new Ministereould stand as high in the estimation of the English people as the old. Nevertheless, judging from the praises which were bestowed upon him by the whole of the British press without distinction of party, Mr. Johnson will begin with as many admirers as Mr. Adams left off with. Never was Minister more heartily received than he will be. He will not have the demonstrative reception that we gave to our old enemy Marshal Soult, when he came over here in 1838 to represent France at Queen Victoria's coronation, but the welcome will be none the less real. To what a pitch of folly fanaticism will carry a people may be well illustrated just now by the doings of the Australians in the matter of O'Farrell's attempted murder of Prince Alfred. It is stated by a correspondent from Melbourne that a liading advocate of the Victoria bar, who was specially retained for the defence of O'Farrell, was afterwards black-balled at his club for accepting the brief. One can hardly believe the truth of this statement. But still the passing of an Act declaring it criminal to refuse a loyal toast is much on a par with this. Victoria is apparently very much advanced in its legisla t ion concerning drunkenness. The colonists have determined to treat a drunkard as an insane person, and have provided in their lunacy laws that an habitual drunkard can volun. tarily submit himself to confinement and treatment far twelve months. It is also laid down that "if a parent, husband, wife, child, or other near relative, or any friend of any person who shall be labouring under or recovering from an attack of delirium tremens, or who within a period of one year immediately before the application hereinafter mentioned, by and through the excessive use of intoxicating drinks, shall have either wasted or shall be wasting his means, and shall have neglected to main tain and support his family, or shall have habitually or repeatedly threatened or used violence towards any mem% 1:,:r of the family," shall apply to the Master in Lunacy, and shall support his application by proofs and by medical evidence to the satisfaction of the Master, and shall give such notice of the application to the drunkard as the Master shall require, the Master may authorise the deten tion of such person, and may subject him to curative treatment for a period not exceeding twelve months. The great objection to these enactments is that they are liable to be much abused, as they place the man at the entire mercy of his friends, if such they can be called. The action as to lunatics has to be well guarded, even with our English law, and what would be the result when such extended powers are given to those whose interest it may be to get their relatives incarcerated, remains to be seen.

It is no exaggeration to say at once that our loftiest anticipations in regard to the Third of these Grand Triennial Handel Festivals—high though they undoubtedly were —have been utterly sur passed. The Festival of 1868, judging of it merely from the first of the Three Days' Performanu, will henceforth be regarded as the standard of excellence :n respect to these colossal and majestic exhibitions. ft as completely surpassA the Second Festival as that Second Festival surpassed the First, or as that irst surpassed all other kindred demoustratioLs then )n record. Much of this advancement or pro gression is, of course, attributable to the :were effects of practice, of experiment, of experience. A great deal, moreover, is traceable o the steady and instantly appreciable improve oents of an acoustic kind achieved upon each suc cessive occasion, in the structure of what is teclini ;ally termed the auditorium of that gigantic hall of 11usie, the Grand Transept of the Crystal Palace— he Palace of the People of England—down at :yde,nham. It is just possible, of course, ;hat some additional contrivance may even yet be nit upon before the Fourth Triennial Festival honourof George Frederick Handel in 1871 shall nave arrived. It is possible, we say, but it is barely probable. For, so far as we can conceive, these Acoustical arrangements which have been growing up, three years by three years, we had almost said year by year, in the Crystal Palace, over and around that marvellous Orchestra, have already attained a legree of merit, or we should prerer to say a tho ungliness of efficiency, such as leaves nothing whatever (that we ourselves at any rate could sug ;est) to be desiderated. The screening off of the ached portion of each of the naves—the screening off of each from the spring-point of the arch—so :ffectually retains the sound within the range of the auditorium without allowing it to escape, or so to • speak evaporate in the immensity of that great sur minding edifice of iron and glass, that the most delicate pianissimo of a tremulous: violin -string, the faintest articulation of a pathetic soloist, when he notes warbled forth are allowed almost, one :night say, to die out into silence, can be dis cinctly heard, can be heard without an effort, in any portion of the vast area allotted :o the audience. We speak after a very carefu examination or rather after an elaborate testing of the audience-part of the grand transept, whether from the floor of the building where the seats are portioned out into blocks, or from the several gal leries on either side of the transept, or immediately fronting the gigantic orchestra. From the upper most gallery of all, upon a level with the rail of which the high rope of Blondin, the acrobat, was stretched from end to end a few years ago, when that most daring of del-jai dancers played such " fantastic tricks before high heaven" —from that " coign of 'vantage," the uppermost gallery of all, we " listened delighted" to the chief part both of the " Grand Full Rehearsil" of Fri day last and of the " Messiah" yesterday. II raring everything at that giddy altitude with the greatest ease, and again we say it, listening delighted. Up wards of 18,000 attending on the Full Rehearsal Day, that is on Friday last, we are not surprised co observe that more than 19,000 were assembled :ogether yesterday in honour of the first of the Three Grand Days—constituting an integral portion of die Festival itself—to witness the performance, then and there, upon the grandest scale ever attempted, of Handel's capo d'opera, the 111Essratt. Tne mere Sight of the Orchestra, when filled with the four thousand performers, vocalists and instrumentalists —the mere sight of these serried ranks of musicians, banked up, row above row, on either sine of the great organ, and in unbroken semicircles bel 1w the great xgan down to the cushioned stool and music desk the Conductor in the foreground—where there is set apart a little open platform as the stand „Joint of the half-dozen soloists—the mere sight of :his giant Orchestra when filled, to say nothing of the sounds flowing from it afterwards, has about it a wonderful impressiveness. It is worth tra velling some distance merely to look at it. But— ;o hear it ! It is like the acjuisition of a new sense, at any rate, like the glorification or beatifica :ion of one of the subtlest of the Five with .which 'lnman Nature is so wonderfully endowed. Any one who may have attended yesterday fur the irst time since the conception of these Grand rriennial Festivals, must have realiz-,:d thus much before a note of the music of Hand ta Messiah ' tad been given forth by that array of musical in strunientsof all kinds gathered together, there, under the shadow - of the glorious organ. Doctor Joh❑ 3uli's anthem of " God Save the Qteen"— .nore strictly speaking the National Anthem England than even the h.Toic and patrio ic air of " Rule Britannia " was enougl; of itself to stir the soul and heart of the most phlegmatic person there present, as the soul of t knight or as the heart of a war horse is stirred at the sound of a trumpet. Upstanding, uncovered, hushed into attention, the audience of twenty thou sand listened to the four thousand voices And instruments pealing forth that simple but majestic and spirit-moving benediction upon the eigning Sovereign. Immediately before this the group of soloists, engaged for the occasion, had, ❑pon their appearance together, been welcomed with signal cordiality by the assembled multi tude. Madlle. Titiens as the soprano, Madame Sainton Dolby as the contralto, Mr. Sims iteeves as the tenor, and Mr. Sautley as the bass of the occasion, receiving, as they were each entitled to do, a grand reception. Yet shar ing that cordial reception of theirs with the hardly ;ess cordial reception given to the two eminent singers .vho were associated with them yesterday—namely, \lr. Cumming and Madame Ruderslorff. When noreover, at the very last moment, that is, imme liately upon the stroke of two o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Prospero of the day, wand in hand, made ibis always welcome appearance—Michael Costa to wit—as Leigh Hunt has it in his won derful little:poem on Paganini— , "The thunder of the applauding housa came dawn, And bowed the breathing sorcerer into smiles." Dien came the National An th ern,and directly upon its conclusion, the "Messiah" began with the Overture. Our great tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves—facile priizceps among all living saerel-music solo-singers--by his ;lorious delivery, so familiar to us all, of the reci tative " Comfort ye, my People," followed by the air, " Every Valley," first kindled the enthusiasm of the audience yesterday- 7 an enthusiasm that was often afterwards rekindled sometimes with a burst of acclamation not only in - answer to his kolos and those of his associates, espe cially in the instance tim3 and again of Madlle. Pitiens and Mr. Santley, but again and again, and yet again, at the close of many a marvellous Chorus,. the first of these choruses, that is the first in order, had a thrilling effect—" And the glory of the Lord." As a matter of course, however, it was immeasureably surpassed by three or four of the choruses coming afterwards in their appointed places. The' Hallelujah" being just simply elec.. crifying ! Not that we regard that sublime pro duction as the choral chef d'oeuvres of Handel, or even of this Oratorio, of which it is, no doubt, one of the most majestic portions 1 " For unto us a Child is Born," being; to our notion, far beyond the " Halleluith"—as, indeed, who will gainsay it, when remembering—" Wonderful! Counsellor! the - Mighty God ! the Everlasting Father I the Prince of Peace !" Even as a " Hallelujah" we ;lave the temerity to accord precedence and sune ,•iority, and honour, and glory, by preference to the Hallelujah" of the Mount of Olives by Beethoven —a song of adoration worthy of being pealed forth in the heavens themselves to the treble of the :herubitn and the diapason of the thunder,' to he harps of the seraphim and the trumpets ,f the archangels. But, as peerless and unsurpas sable in its way as that " Hallelujah Chorus" of 3eethoven, is Ilandel's magnificent and inimitable vuasterpiece, "For unto us a Child h Born." Yes terday it was performed just simply to perfection. immediately preceding it, had been given with admirable effect, respectively, Madame Sain ,on Dolby's rendering of "O thou that Wiest " and Mr. Santley's noble articulation of the reci tative " For Behold Darkness," followed . by the sombre and devious, groping, almost stumbling air of " The People that walktid in Darkness." After d i e chorus already particularised as the arch-achieve ment chorally of the day—there came, in as usual delicious contrast, the exquisite and sylvan warbling grace of the " Pastoral Symphony". Then came triumphs of song won alternately by Madlle. Titiens and Madame Sainton-Dolby—crowned by that noble close to the first part of this truly glorious oratorio, the grand concordant sounds of " His Yoke is Easy," articulated, as by a single voice and a single instrument, by the orchestra of four thousand. Subsequently the second and third parts were performed in uninterrupted EC queue,: as a single part, that is to say, without the slightest break or pause whatever. Here, the solo triumphs were most notably those achieved by Mr. Santley in " Why do the nations so furiously rage," by Mr. Sims Reeves in " Thou shalt break them like a rod of ;ron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel," by Mdlle. Titiens, in " I know that My Redeemer," and lastly, again by Mr. Santley, in " The Trumpet shall Sound" with Mr. Harper's trumpet obbligato. Besides the sublime "Hallelujah," the second portion of the oratorio gave us, among others, three very wonderful choruses, wonderfully rendered—" Surely he hath borne And we like sheep "—and " Ile trusted in God," the open ing passage of which chorus last mentioned conveys so vividly to the imagination through the thunder of the scoffing basses, the pitiless fury of the rabble of the Jews exulting in the Crucifixion. The two quartetts in Part Three were splendidly delivered, and the whole oratorio brought to a majestic conclu sion by the highly-elaborated and colossal chorus of " Worthy is the Lamb." Altogelher, the first day of this greatest of the Triennial Handel Festivals was a triumph of art that will long be looked back to as to a standard of excellence. It promises gloriously for the " Selections" set apart for to-morrow (Wednesday) as the Second Day, and for the " Israel in Egypt " set ! down for Friday, as the Third and Last Day of this memorable Festival. Yesterday's performance of the " Messiah" transformed the Crystal Palace for the time being into a very Temple of Adoration. va4 Art) ..r..%• litirwas.„. " L lank HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, June 13. The Queen drove out in the morning, accom panied by Princess Louise ; and in the afternoon her Majesty again drove out, accompanied by Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince L ADMIRAL ROUS ON THE TURF. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Observing in your paper of to-day the following paragraph, quoted from the Pall-Mall Gazette :—" The Sporting Life, with more audacity, mentions that Admiral Rous said on the course that if he had taken as much laudanum as had been given to the mare he would have been a dead man," permit me to state that it is perfectly untrue. My belief is that Lady Elizabeth had a rough spin with Athena in March, when the Days discovered she had lost her form—a very common occurrence with allies which have been severely trained at two years old ; that when the discovery was made they re versed a commission to back her for the One Thou sand Guineas Stakes at Newmarket, and they de clared that Lord Hastings would not bring her out before the Derby, on which he stood to win a great stake. I am informed that when Lord Hastings went to Danebury to see her gallop they made ex cuses for her not to appear. If he had seen her move the bubble would have burst. But the touters reported, " she was going like a bird ;" £lO will make any horse fly if the trainer wishes it to rise in the market. She has never been able to gallop the whole year. Llrd Hastings has been shamefully I:ceived, and with respect to scratching the Earl, Lord Westmorland came up to town early ou Tues day from Epsom to beseech Lord Hastings not to commit such an act. On his arrival in Grosvenor square he met Mr. Hill going to Weatherby's with he order iu his pocket to scratch the Earl, and Mr. A. Pad wick closeted with Lord Hastings. In justice to the Marquis of Hastings I state that he stood to win £35,000 by the Earl, and did not hedge his stake money. Then you will ask, " Why did he scratch Mtn ?" What can the poor fly demand from the spider in whose web he is enveloped ? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, H. J. RODS. 13, Berkeley-square, June 15. An interesting archaeological discovery has been made in a railway cutting at Pont de Pierre, not far from Chalons-sur-Saone. At three feet below the surface of the ground a group of thirteen skeletons was found in a narrow space, and won derfully preserved. They seem to be the bones of full-grown men who had died in battle. The skeleton of a woman has been discovered among the others. Between the jaws of one of the dead was found an obolus, which the friend of the de funct had no doubt slipped in to enable the de parted to pay his fare to Charon. A coin, veil much defaced, but still seen to bear the effigy of the Emperor Gordian, was a'so picked up among these remains, which leads to the conclusion that 1,700 years have elapsed since they were there interred. A correspondent of the Times writing from Pestb , under date of June 11th, says :—To-day we have the fête of " Corpus Christi," the most solemn festival of the Roman Catholic Church in Austria and Hungary. In purely Catholic countries the celebration of the feast of Transubstantiation has scarcely the same meaning as in those where Ca' tholics and Protestants live side by side, for there is a sort of muster of those who are within the line which separates the two confe sions. Th e whole Catholic population turn out in the morning to go in procession through the town. After the number of the four Gospels, four altars are erected before the doors of four different churches, or in smaller towns, where there are not so many churches, more or less open places are chosen in the streets for the altars, and starting from the main church the Host is carried through the streets, stopping at every altar, where a chapter from one of the Goa. pels is read and the Host elevated.
