The weather is always the awkward Englishman's best friend in society, and this year the high readings of the thermometer, and the disagreement of rival observers, the effect of the droaght, and the prospects of the harvest, have in tro.llc.:d several new elements into the old routine form. We have had a taste, if not of the pleasures of the tropics, at least of the sensations of S)tlthern Europe, and unluckily we eannot, or will not, ac coinmodate our ways to the occasion. We march ahout in the heat of the day, clothed as if it were an ordinary summer, and the consequences arc always unpleasant and often very hurtful. We shut our shutters and close our windows at dark not to open them till long after sunrise, and then complain of the heat of the nights. We Anglo-Saxons take some time to adapt ourselves to circumstances, and our American cousins are faring worse than we. They have the heat, like every thing else, on a larger reale, than people in their latitudes elsewhere, and in comparison with their accounts of the general art: 3 : sensations, we may fancy ourselves enjoyirg an ordinary April or May. A hutuorms writer su ;- esti that a stray comet must have given the States a slap with its tail ; others suppose that the weather wishes to keep pace with the election fever. Setting aside the scientific measurements, which may be disputed, the facts mentioned seem to convince us that New York is at least suffering from an almost unex ampled intensity of heat. Horses are constantly dropping dead in the street cars and the omnibuses, while cases of sunstroke have assumed the fre quency of an epidemic. During the four or five days prior to the 16th inst. the deaths are reported to have numbered between two and three hundred. The New York herald of that date gives the number of persons prostrated by the heat during 24 hours in New York, Brooklyn, and Jersey as over 100, of which 50 cases had proved fatal. Dr. Hamm, the Registrar of Vital Sta tistics to the Board of Health, gives a similar ac count. In his report to the Board he states that 250 deaths from excessive heat have resulted in the metropolitan district within three days, and he adds some plain and sensible directions for persons to follow in order to avoid the danger. Happily we are not in this country exposed to such extreme risk, but notwithstanding the coolness of to-day we have had, and will probably have again, heat enough to be dangerous. Our labourers in the har vest field have, during the past ten days, suffered greatly, and in many instances many cases have occurred. In Fleet-street and Farringdon-street two deaths resulted from sunstroke, while in the metropolis and suburbs generally no less than 11 deaths from sunstroke were registered in the week. Dr. HARRIS, New York Registrar, advises every one to rise early, so as to take as little active exer tion as passible in the heat of the day, and he urges the employers of labour to be considerate to their men. A wet handkerchief or cloth over the head and back of the neck, worn under the hat, is recommeded to those working in the harvest field or other exposed places, and every one is advised to wash the head and neck frequently i❑ cold water. If head ache or dizziness occur the person affected should immediately give up work and lie down awhile in the shade. Such precautions should be generally adopted by those who are engaged in outdoor occu pations, anl if our employers of labour would take pains to enforce them upon the attention of their men, we should hear fewer of these sad cases in which a man succumbs to his work. The Registrar-General of London is less occupied with sunstroke than with another danger. The pre valence of diarrhoea is a natural consequence of the hot weather, and here again the danger can be very much lessened by a little care and knowledge. The ignorance or indifference of the mass of the population is only startled into attention by a panic which increases the risk with out teaching them how to avoid it. Cleaulin:!ss, ventilation, and temperance are the most potent pre servatives, and if we reflect upon the manner in which too many of the inhabitants of this populous metropolis live, we shall only wonder that the rate of mortality is not still higher. The neglect and injudicious treatment of the children, especially the infants of the poor, are fruitful sources of disease and death. They are improperly fed, and the first symptoms of diarrhoea ne glect. Such neglect the registrar emphatically assures us is death to children and the aged. The figures speak for themselves. 442 persons died last week of diarrhoea, of whom 353 were children under one year, 49 under two years ; 58 persons died of summer cholera, of whom 38 were children under one year, and 11 more under five years. Immediate rational treatment is what the registrar advises, and what all who have the opportunity should recommend to the heads of families. But while we in the towns are chiefly concerned for the effect on the public health, it is very gratify ing to learn that the harvest, now general, is an excellent one so far as the great staple, wheat, is con cerned. Bright suns and continued droughts have hurried forward the harvesting, and Nviil make its course unusually rapid. In Yorkshire the men are hired for three weeks instead of a month, as usual, and it is noticed that the Irish harvester is absent, the time for his arrival being yet a fortnight dis tant. After the apprehensions that have been cur rently entertained respecting the drought the good news from the cornfields is indeed welcome, though we are discussing the nature of the harvest and the merits of the several crops a month or two earlier than usual. Every nerve is being strained to get the corn in before a passible change of weather, and we may well be thankful that the brilliant suns of 1868 have brought comfort to the heart of the poor mau by holding out the pros pect of a cheap loaf for his winter fireside. In the House of Lords yesterday Lord LYVEDEN criticised the Corrnpt Practices Bill at Elections, and declared that. in his opinion it would not be a success. The chief objection he made was about the transfer of the jurisdiction to the judges, which could not be a remedy against electoral evils, but it is, at all events, giving things a chance ; and those who object to this mode of procedure might bear in mind that any change from the present system may be for the better, for it has notoriously failed to answer its purpose, and held up our repre- sentative system to contempt in many quarters. Because electors must take the initiative it has been supposed that nothing will be done, but as Lord MALMESBURY very truly said, almost every man of respectability would be an elector, and thus many checks would be interposed. Besides this measure is merely a temporary one, and the fuss made about its provision is quite uncalled for, since if it does not work well, or answer the desired end, it can easily be altered and amended. Oue of the chief difficulties in the way of legislation upon these matters is always found in the overscrupulosity and undue precaution of a select few, who will not be con tent to take things quietly, but persist in their endea vours to make everything perfect all at once. A. very decided change has been made in the state of th? law concerning election petitions and corrupt practices at elections, and we think that the Go vernment deserve great credit for the part which they have taken in introducing the measure, and the determination with which they carried it through the House. The committee of the House of Commons also displayed great energy in the work, which is saying a great deal when we think of the lateness of the period whoa it was put be fore them, and the extreme heat of the weather. The bill passed through committee in the Lords ; and in order to facilitate this desirable end, Lord ROMILLY very wisely withdrew an amend ment for infringing on the monopoly of shorthand writing respecting election inquiries. It is most satisfactory to know the measure is now safe, for many times during the last few weeks it has seemed wellnigh hopeless to think of its passing, and even those who at first were sanguine became doubtful when so many objections were interposed, and so many new plans were put forward. All is well that ends well may, however, be said, in regard to this or other questions. And even if it should not answer all the ends now supposed, it seems an ad- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1868. vantage that the present House of Commons should have put its protest on record against the corruptions at elections, and thus redeemed in some degree the abuses that have been so justly censured and so severely commented on by the critics of the day. The Registration Ireland Bid was real a third time and passed, but Lord S'rRATIINAIRN appealed to the Government to do something to increase the number of polling places in Ireland. This, he declared, was a fulfilment of his profes sional duty as Commander-in-Chief in Ireland, because if this were done there would be less rea son for the services of the military being put in re- quisition, and the elections would in general be far more peaceably conducted. Lord MALIIESBURY, in replying in the negative to the appeal, expressed in strong terms the indignation experienced by the conduct of the Opposition in the House of Com mons respecting these clauses. The noble Lord was perfectly justified in all he said in condemna tion, for the course pursued on this occasion by the opponents of the plan was quite out of character. It is however now too late to attempt any change in this respect, and whatever evils arise must be laid to the charge of those who factiously opposed the measure. To render the matter worse, those who compelled the withdrawal of the scheme for increas ing the number of polling places are those who, ten years ago, were very much in favour of them, and advocated the necessity of their adoption, a necessity rendered all the more urgent from the increase of the number of voters that has now taken place. In some places there are 30 and 35 miles between the polling places, and that must be a great inconvenience, besides being likely to produce serious evils among an excitable community. At any rate we would remind those who may be favoured with indignant comments on the tyranny and oppression of a Government which sends out the military to coerce the people, that those who profess to guard the interests of the people have contrived so to act as to render the presence of the military inevitable. Lord DENMAN made some re marks on the subject of Irish disaffection, which he said was brought about by the tenure of land, and not caused by the Irish Church. In the House of Commons several minor mat ters were attended to. Among the questions answered was one by Sir J. PAKINGTON on the subject of the reports as to the silence that had prevailed on the march at Aldershot. It appears that fortunately the news was much exaggerated, and that only three men were sent to the hospital, and that no cases of sunstroke had occurred. This is very desirable information, but it may be sug gested that it would be well if the military authori ties could arrange matters so that reviews and marches should not take place in those days when the heat is so intense, as it must produce great discomfort, besides being likely to create evils of a serious nature. The Lords' amendments to the Public Schools Bill were considered, and one alteration was made. A ma jority of them decided against the addition of Sir 11. PALMER and Canon BLAKESLEY to the commis sion. Sir S. NoRTIICOTE said that it was not at all desirable to increase the number on tho commis sion, otherwise these names would have been de serving of notice. The Poor Relief Bill was read a third time and passed, Mr. NEATE very truly ob observing that there was a " competition of cruelty" often observed on the part of different unions. They were constantly inquiring what was the maximum of labour and the minimum of accommodation for the casual poor, and there fore the manner in which that class of paupers was treated was not at all satisfactory and creditable. It was determined not to insist o❑ the Commons Amendment to the Sale of Poisons Bill, to which the Lards h L I disagreed, and the West India Bill was considered ; only one of the amendments of the Lords was struck out, and altogether matters were proceeded with very considerately by the short sittiug. Twelve hundred children attending the Lambeth Ragged Schools will, by the kind permission of his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, spend a day in the grounds: but for this privilege they would be de prived of their holiday, the numbers attending precluding . . , .. tho possibility of taking them either by rail, boat, or vans. As it is, the expenses of the day, it is calculated, will amount to £4O, towards which contributions aro earnestly solicited, and will be most gratefully received by W. IL Miller, superintendent, 225, Westminster- bridgo-road, Lambeth, S.E. The Figaro, in announcing that the Queen of England, accompanied by Sir Thomas and Lady Biddulph, is about to have an interview with the Empress of the French in Paris on her way to Switzerland, adds that the twenty-four cooks usually in the retinue of her Majesty when on her travels will, on this occasion, be dispensed with. The Queen's head cook, according to the Pigaro, receives a salary of £720 a year, and her three travelling ',mitres dhotel £360 each. The head cook also enjoys the privilege of educating four apprentices, each of whom pays him £l2O a year for culinary tuition. In wages alone the Royal kitchen of England costs about £4,000 a year. So, at least, says the Figaro. An article by M. Ferdinand de Lacombe, in the last two numbers of the Spectateur Militaire, on "The Campaign of 1867 in the Pontifical States," thus describes the condition of the Papal army at that time :—The gendarmerie, a corps d'elite, ani mated by an excellent spirit, sustained by its old traditions, of fidelity to the Pops ; its auxiliaries the squadriglieri, a corps of " agile, vigorous, wily children of the mountain," maintained for the pur suit of brigands; a battalion of carbineers com posed of Swiss, Bavarians, and natives of Baden ; the artillery, constituted of Italians and Swiss, under the command of French and Italian officers, and consisting of two batteries of horse and three of foot artillery, of six guns each, organized on the French system. Next come the dragoons, and the Antibes Legion, which, " though mounting the Pope's cockade, has preserved the esprit of its native land ;" and, finally, the Pontifical Zouaves, formed of volunteers from the " great houses of the Catholic aristocracy of the West." General Kanzler's report of the paper strength of the Roman forces at the commencement of the Gari baldiau assaults was 12,981 of all ranks, and 929 horses ; but non-effectives of every kind being de ducted, the true combatant -value was found to be at the utmost only 8,000 men. The Pontifical garrison of Monte Rotondo, which held out against the Garibaldians for twenty-seven hours on the 23rd and 24th of October, numbered 323 officers and men. On the 29th the Trench forces landed at Civita 'Vecchia ; on the 31st they entered Rome. On Sunday, the 3rd of November, 2,900 Roman and 2,200 French troops marched to the attack of Monte Rotondo, and Montana, "when; the 9,000 or 10,000 men directed by Garibaldi were strongly intrenched." After the battle of the 3rd, Gari baldi recrossed the Italian frontier during the night, and on the 4th, his forces, after some brief encounters, either fled or surrendered, and the " campaign " was at an end. The loss of the French is given at 41 in killed, wounded, and missing, ; that of the Roman troops at 133, while the Garibaldian casualties are stated to have been nearly 1,000 killed and wounded, besides 1,400 prisoners. Not much is said about the Chasse pot, but the fire of the French soldiers who were armed with it at Montana is described as " fou droyant." The enormous sum of £540,000 was remitted by the Irish in America to their relatives in Ireland during the past year. Of this sum £202,000 was transmitted as prepaid passage orders. Since 1848 the Irish in America transmitted £14,500,000 sterling to that country. LATEST INTELL CGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, July 28. Prince Gortschakoff has sent a circular to the Russian representatives abroad, dated the 17th inst., in which he says :—" Russia having assented to the proposal of the Berlin Cabinet that Commis sioners and experts from the different Governments should meet at St. Petersburg to draw up a proto col excluding the use of explosive missiles in future warfare, these Commissioners will be able to assemble there on the 13th October next." An official message from Orenburg, dated July 13, confirms the news of the termination of all hostilities with Bokhara, and states that peace has been concluded with the Emir. 001tRESFORDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.: PARIS, TUESDAY, July 28. The Corps L6gislatif has risen at last, after an eventful and not unprofitable session. It is not possible for the shackled deputies to present such an array of work as your Parliament sometimes accomplishes in a year ; revolutions are not effected here by means of legislation ; lint it may safely be affirmed that the debates and the legislation of 1868 will permanently benefit the cause of liberty. The latter part of the Budget debate was not very productive-. The last day or two of the sitting was, however, signalised by one salutary reform. Article 1781 of the Civil Code of Napoleon provides that in all cases of dispute between master and servant on the subject of wages, the simple word of the former shall be considered final, without further evidence. This odious enactment was in force until yesterday, when the Chamber, without any discus sion, unanimously voted its repeal. This change is, I believe, the last necessary to establish that perfect equality of all citizens before the law which was sc strangely ignored by the Civil Code. During the same sitting M. Rouher gave a final denial to the report of the intention of the Government to alter the system of conducting the elections. There is no alter native but to take the word of the Minister on this point, but this does nut check the belief that the question was seriously discussed in the Cabinet. The report long ago assumed a definite shape, and was, I believe, published several times before it appeared in the Presse. There is not a little reason to conclude that the rumour was floated by the Government itself. This mode of sounding the state of public opinion is by no means uncommon under the Second Empire. The dis content which the new Army Bill, the state of the finances, and other grievances have produced in the country, are the cause of serious apprehension. With a simple majority the Government could easily carry the elections, and preserve its preponderance in the Corps Legislatif. But with the large majority required by the existing law, it is very likely that the Opposi tion will gain many votes. The Government has been anxious to ascertain the effect of a change ; the rumour has been put forward, and its recep tion has at once settled the matter. This is the general theory, and the most probable one. If no change be made we shall look next March for a material increase in the number of the Left. The Government is credited with a similar attempt in the case of the projected Customs' Union between France, Holland, and Belgium. The independent papers here seem to think that the Emperor was anxious to sound English opinion on this subject. The report, however, I see, has met with very little attention in England. It would be advisable to first get the consent of two of the principal parties—Holland and Belgium. Neither of these prosperous States would, I imagine, consent to an alliance which would imperil their existence. The little republic of Andorre, to its great advantage, seldom makes its appearance in political history. It is situated high up in the Pyrenees, between the south-east of France and Spain, contains about 200 square miles, with a population of 17,000. It has retained its independence from time immemorial, and is under the protection of both its powerful neighbours, but has always, with discrimination, given its "moral support" to France. The keepers of the Homburg and Baden gaming-houses have, however, once more brought the little State into public notice. The hells of these two fashionable resorts are to be abolished, and the lroprietors are on the look out for other rural shades to which they could attract the scum and profligacy of Europe. Andorre offered induce ment to the speculators, for it is independent, and its inhabitants, like other mortals, are not indifferent to profit. The President and the Vice-President of the Republic were soon gained over, and the arrangements were nearly completed. The affair, however, came to the ears of the Parliament, who very soon disposed of it. The two erring functionaries were dismissed for trafficing, with the honour of the State, and the hell-keepers were ordered to find another rest for the sole of their feet. The news from Bulgaria is becoming somewhat serious ; not that the " insurrection " is formidable, but it points to a possible reopening of the Eastern question. The precautions of the Bulgarian Government are believed t 4 be little else than pretence. The Hungarian monarchy has endured for nearly a thousand years. During that time its name has never disappeared from the political geography of Europe, though its independence has been compromised, and, it was thought, irretrievably lost. But as the one-thousandth anniversary of the foundation of the kingdom draws near, the prospects of the Hungarians as a nation are better than at any former period. They form the most powerful portion of a great empire, and yet have an independent government of their own. Their connection with Austria gives them r . -,re.lter weOit in European politics than they could hope to obtain by a purely separate existence ; but in all matters relat:ng, to their own country they are perfectly free. How the one-thousandth anniversary shall be celebrated is at present an unsettled question. Some recommend the erection of a colossal obelisk in one of the vast corn-producing plains. Others are in favour of a national pantheon, to be built on the mountain which overlooks the capital. The question is to be discussed in all the jurisdictions of the kingdom ; and then the pro gramme will be finally fixed by means of a council of dele gates from the districts and towns. The people of Frankfort cannot reconcile themselves to Prussian authority. They embrace every opportunity of bewailing their lot, some little disturbance is continually arising, and the police can generally find employment. It will, perhaps, be remembered that a burgomaster of the name of Feiner hanged himself in despair at the annexa tion of his country. On the anniversary of his death, which has just come round, the populace got up a demon stration. The police interfered, and, as usual, took possession of the "key of the position." This time it wa' . the cemetery. - - The French journals, as might be expected, attach great importance to the fierce warfare now going on between the journals of Russia and Prussia. The discussion is cer tainly very angry, and daily becomes more envenomed. The Golos, of St. Petersburg, for instance, says " the friendship of Russia is for Prussia a condition of existence." The same paper talks about the relations between the two countries being the same now as when Count von Boranden burg was obliged to go to Warsaw to hear a lesson from the Emperor Nicholas. The Prussian papers reply so fiercely that the only more advanced manifes tion now possible will be a series of duels between the combative editors. The acrimony of the dispute is extraordinary ; but nobody, not even the Paris journals, can divine the cause of it. . The Liberty has received information that General Prim has paid a visit to Lisbon, and is now on his way back to London. As the Spanish refugee has been made to per form this not very short journey several times during the last few days, this repetition must be received with caution. It is, however, on " good authority." The Liberty adds that several of General Prim's intimate friends are at the head of the Portuguese Government, and that the General himself has had an interview with the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier. This much is certain : if a revolution should break out in Spain, it will receive countenance, if not aid, from Portugal. The process of stamping out in Poland goes on un checked by European indignation, or by any other influ ence. Recently an order was sent to the Polish clergy forbidding the use of prayer-books printed in the national language. This order has been so strictly enforced that soldiers systematically enter the places of worship and take the prayer-books from the congregation. The same principle has now been carried further. The clergy of all denomina tions throughout Poland have been forbidden, from the Ist of January next, to employ any language except Russian in their relations with the lay and ecclesiastical authorities. The use, in an official capacity, of any other tongue will be punished by fine, and even by deprivation of living. Mr. Watkin sends to the Times the concluding letter in his correspondence with Lord Redesdale. It is, on the whole, written in a more temperate spirit than his former epistles. Lord Redesdale having denied that he charged Mr. Watkin personally with jobbing, the last-named gentleman writes : "If you had stated this at the begin ning it might have saved the necessity for further corre spondence, because when a gentleman denies that he has intended to throw out imputations, his denial must be accepted even against the evidence. I will not criticise the distinction between charges thrown out broadcast against unnamed individuals and the personal and specific charge '—which latter can be dealt with as such charges when false ought to be." Mr. Watkin, however, again refers the noble lord to his speech to spew that it really did convey the impression that he was making a personal attack, and adds : " I have since consulted a gentleman who was present at the bar during the diseu,sion, and he distinctly assures me that you charged the promoters to the bill under discus sion with promoting it for jobbing objects. I have only to say that such a charge, either against the promoters of the bill or against the shareholders of the South Eastern Railway, is entirely without foundation, and entirely un justiliab!e." THE PROROGATION. —The London correspondent of the Freemen says :—" It is understood that on Monday an intimation was conveyed by the Premier to the Speaker that the Government business is now in so prosperous a state that the prorogation will take place on Friday next. The probatility is that both Houses will meet on Wednesday for a short tine to sweep up the scraps, and that an adjournment will then be agreed to until Friday, when th : ceremony of proroga tion•- 0,34 place!" , • • -•- • A \ ME RICA.

The subject of the construction of a bridge over the Hooghly at Calcutta is engaging much atten tion, and the municipality recommend the recon struction of the floating-bridge. It is stated that the King of Burmah desires to extend the system of Indian telegraphs to his capital. In the case of the Port Canning directors v.

This scale is much lower than the Post-office rates, the average difference being about one half. From the nature of the business to be trans acted respectability of direction and management is obviously an essential preliminary to the acquiring of public confidence. This requisite is attained by the list of the names presented as constituting the provisional committee, which includes many of the leading citizens of Edinburgh, Leith, and Dundee. It is to be presumed that the scheme will receive its chief support in Scotland, but, should it succeed a peculiar result will follow.. Whether extended to England or not, the Post-office, which has no legal monopoly of money-order remittances, must either at once reduce its scale of charges or lose part of its most profitable source of revenue. A swift and terrible doom, says the Daily e 7 le graph, has overtaken the murderers of Prince Michael. Fourteen of them have been condemned to death ; two, Prince Alexander Karageorgievich and his secretary, are to suffer twenty years' penal servitude ; twenty years' hard labour in a fortress has been awarded to another ; and the least guilty of the conspirators is to be imprisoned for five years. The severity of the sentences, coupled with the atti tude of the foreign Powers and the resolute bearing of Turkey, may read an opportune lesson to those restless Pansclavists who are still troubling the Danube and neighbouring provinces with their abortive intrigues. Continental agitators would do well to ask themselves, also, whether, on the whole, political assassination pays. We do not ask whether political assassination is just, for that question brings up ideas which we cannot expect them to understand, far less to share. We put the matter on no higher ground than that of profit and loss. Abraham Lincoln is dead, but his death only lent strength to Abolitionism. Prince Michael is dead, but the objects of his murderers have not been brought a whit nearer. The Em peror of the French is not dead, though select committees of assassins have again and again met to see how they might best send him to a world in which coups d'e"tat and press laws would be be yond his reach ; but, somehow, their hostility has missed its mark, and the effort to shoot him down without giving him a chance of defence has done more than a host of Persignys could have accom plished to make his hold on the French throne secure. THE HARVEST AND TILE LABOUR MARKET.— At ;Talton, on Saturday, the attendance of harvesters was large. There was an entire absence of the Irish harvester the time of his appearance being fully a fortnight distant, when the harvest will be nearly over. Tho bulk of the men were from the mining di,,tr;cts, where little is doing. Ex cellent wages were obtained, but mostly for three weeks only instead of the customary month. Bright suns and continued droughts have made harvest general, and all promises to be not only one of the earliest but also the shortest on record.—Leeds Mercury.

BARNSTAPLE.—The Western Morning News states that Mr. Cave, M.P., and Mr. W. Herbert Evens have issued addresses to the electors of Barnstaple in the Liberal interest. A third Liberal, Mr. Thomas, of Brecon, will also be brought forward. Sir William Fraser, the Con servative candidate, has been received so unsatisfactorily, that his retirement from the contest is anticipated. Captain Charles Williams, of Pilton House s ,,,will probably be the Conservative candidate. STRANGE DISCOVERY OF A CLERGYMAN. An inquest was held on Monday at Stambourne, a large village in the lower part of Essex, on the body of the Rev. J. Forster, the rector of the parish, and the author of the "Churchman's Guide," the "Gospel Narrative," and other wcrks, who had been found dead in a field not far from his residence. The reverend gentleman, who formerly lived in Lancaster-place, London, but had been rector of Stambourne since 1858, was 59 years of age, and it appeared that on the evening of Friday ho left the rectory for a walk, speaking to some of the domestics in a cheerful tone as he left the grounds. As he had not returned at 10 o'clock the family be came alarmed ; some of the neighbouring farmers were called up, and the search for him was continued throughout the night. Early the next morning the body was found lying on a bed of potatoes growing in an allotment field a quarter of a mile from the rectory; he was lying on his face, with his stick by his side, and there were no signs of struggling. The medical man who was examined said ho believed the rev. gen tleman died either from an affection of the heart or the rupture of a vessel upon the brain. Tho jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes. Mr. Forster was for upwards of twenty years chaplain of the Chapel Royal in the Savoy. He was educated at Magdalen and Corpus Christi Colleges, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. degree in 1834. The Rectory of Stambourne is worth £350 a year, and is the gift of the Chancellor of the Ducby of Lancaster. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

At Valencia the increase has been nearly six-tenths of an inch. The lowest IreFsure is at Holyhead : the difference between the readings at that station and Brest amounts to five-tenths. Temperature is much less in England and Ireland : in the north of Scotland it is higher. A westerly gale—force 9--blew yesterday on the Irish coast : the gale continues at Valencia from the north, and a W.S.W gale is blowing at Holyhead. On our Channel coast the wind is fresh from the N.W. Rain has fallen in England and Ireland : in the south west the fall has been considerable. The weather is cloudy or over cast. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, Downing-street. ----- - Mr. Justice Mellor, during the assize business on Saturday at Exeter, appeared to be suffering from illness, and at the rising of the court left for London to consult his medical adviser. THE FIRST CONSIGNMENT OF FLAX. - The Northern Whig of Tuesday, says : The first consignment of this year's flax grown in the south of Ireland, was received in Belfast on Tuesday. It is said to be of fair quality. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and fami'y intend to leave Marlborough House on the 9th proximo for Abergeldie Castle, N. 13., for the season. At the end of the shooting season the Prince and Princess purpose going to Denmark to visit the King and Queen and other relatives of the Princess. ICED TEA.—The most delicious and sustaining beverage that can be drunk this hot weather is good strong tea cooled down with lumps of ice. It should be only slightly sweetened, without milk, and flavoured with a few slices of lemon, which are infused at the time the tea is firet made.—Medical Times and Gazette. A CHOLERA STRICKEN SKIP.—A ship called the Turtellea, laden with wheat from Valparaiso, put into Cork harbour last week for orders. She came direct from Val- paraiso, and had been only sevens days out from that port when lie crew was attacked with cholera. Seven of them died, but six of them s and a mate recovered, and worked the ship the rest of the voyage. All the fish ponds which once belonged to Netley Abbey are now dried up, excepting one. This, which has existed for hundreds of years, is as beautiful as ever. It partly covered with water lilies, a flock of (lucks skim over its surface, and the banks are covered with foxglove and other wild plants. The Netley station is nearly two miles from the sbbey, so that pilgrims are as badly off as before. The railway company wanted their line to run close to Seuthampton Water, which is within 200 yards of the abbey, but this was opposed. If a station on the present iine were made opposits the abbey, and a horse tramway ran from it to the ruins, thousands of persons would visit the latter. The London accounts of the weather, which for a long time past have presented such dreary complaints of hear and drought, at last rejoice in a change. Between seven and eight o'clock on Viesday evening the clouds rolled up from the south-west, and the weather-wise, whose pre dictions have so often been disappointed, felt confident in prophesying rain. At eleven o'clock a heavy shower came down and lasted for two hours. After a short cessation it fell again for some time longer, and the latest accounts read as if the spell of dry weather were at last broken. It appears to be a mistake to suppose that this has been the driest year since 1826, - for a corre spondent to a contemporary gives a tabular statement of the rainfall in 1863 and 1864, from which it appears that in the former year only B'lBs inches of rain fell up to July 28, in 1864 only 8 . 152, while this year 9'440 have fallen to the same date. At the same time excessive heat, the absence of clouds, and the wonderfu dryness of the atmosphere have promoted excessive evapo , ration. Notwithstanding that the price of corn has for some time fallen, no alteration has been made in the price of bread. Many are the complaints on the matter addressed to the papers. Where, everybody asks, does the fault lie? The farmers are selling at a lower price, and yet the bakers protest that they cannot lower their figure. It has already been pointed out that the bakers it, the country are, being men of small means, entirely in the hands of the millers and flour dealers, but as between the average price of the corn sold an I the bread consumed there is some thing between 30 and 40 per cent. to be accounted for, it is still not easy to understand why a fictitious price should be kept up. A correspondent of the Times declares that the only persons to whom it does good are the corn-factors, the millers, and the flour dealers—a class of men who are everywhere to be seen thriving on the excessive dearness of the poor man's loaf. surely, he says, it is a study for philanthropists h to devise a means whereby tl e tli!( r of the soil may 1,, enabled to eat a good a ke, p loaf without the present, a ,tortinn. r f" i t y ij 11 4 t tA r 4 4 1 .0 4) 1 • ILEX MAJESTY.

HARRISON'S BENEFIT. Mr. llarrison is so old and valued a friend of the public that the announcement of his benefit on londay night excited warm interest, and, notwith standing the extreme heat of the weather and the lateness of the season, there was a good muster of his admirers at Covent Garden. It was with great regret that the public learned that, in addition to the pecuniary losses be has suffered, Mr. Harrison is afflicted with severe illness, and thus stands in need of the assistance of his friends and supporters. how cordially and how promptly his professional contemporaries came forward to his aid was shown on Monday evening, when every variety of entertainment—musical, lyrical, recitative, and dramatic—was combined in the programme, and an epigrammatic address from the pen of Mr. Tom Taylor was delivered with full effect by Mrs. Stirling. Two scenes from " Paul Pry" commenced the performances, with Mr. Toole as the immortal intruder. Then came an operatic selection, in which Mdlle. Lancia, Madame Weiss, Signor Mario, and several other prominent artistes, took part. Miss Amy Sedgwick recited a scene from "Pickwick." M. Ravel gave a recitation from one of the boxes, and entertainments followed fast one on the other, until the stage manager announced that two or three must be omitted from the lateness of the hour, and the evening would conclude with the first act of " The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein." It is needless to say that in presence of so much varied ability, and with every performer animated by a kindly and generous desire to do his or her best, the performances were all that could be de sired ; and we hope they will have afforded sub stantial assistance to our overwrought and deserving public servant. The movement was a purely spon taneous one on the part of the promoters, and as such does honour both to them and Mr. Harrison, whose serious illness we must all deplore. His exertions in the cause of national opera, though unfortunately unsuccessful, have done the musical world good service, and have stimulate" some of our best composers Balfe, Macfarren, Wallace-- - to their happiest efforts. THE ATHERSTONE CHURCH CASE. This case, which has caused a good deal of ex citement in the Anglican Church, came by letters of request from the Bishop of 'Worcester, at the instance of the Rev. Frederic Hartshill Richingsf M.A.,incumbent of the church and parish of St• Mary, Atherstone, Warwickshire, who charged Mr. Edward Cordingley with forcibly entering the church, accompanied by a concourse of noisy and disorderly persons, and illegally removing frorn the communion table a ledge placed thereon, and with having irreverently broken the same and caused it to be thrown away and left in the church yard ; he was also charged with having on th e same occasion removed from the communion table the cloth placed thereon, and with removing 0 6 same, as also two iron sockets, placed as fixtures, on each side of the church arch, for holding ban ners. It appeared from the evidence that on tile 23rd of August last Mr. Cordingley entered the church by employing a man named Scanlan t° pick the lock, and was accompanied by a number of persons. The ledge which was used as the super-altar was forcibly removed, and throw!' down and broken, and then thrown into a place where coals were kept. The altar cloth was also removed. It was shown that, although Mr. Rich" ings had refused to give up the keys of the church to Mr. Cordingley, he had offered him free access t) the church, and had even waited for him. Cordingley, too, it was urged, had acted in opposi lion to the wishes of his co-churchwarden. 011 the other hand, it was contended that Mr. We b " ings, the promoter of the suit, had acted illegallY introducing the super-altar and the other decors' lions into the church without obtaining the Per mission of the bishop of the diocese. It was als° urged that no violence was used ; that Mr. C ord ingley simply went to the church and removed 01 articles in conformity with a wish expressed a t public meeting of parishioners, whose servant ll° was ; and that he was not accompanied by a 11°i 7: or irreverent party, only one person (a Mr. ton) had kept his hat on during the proceed ings. Sir It. Phillimore, in delivering judgment on Tuesday, said it had been alleged that the °row ments complained of by the defendant were in t° church when the bishop held a confirmation t here' That was scarcely sufficient, and whether th e ornaments were legal or not, they ought to b a ..e 'r been submitted for the approval of the ord int" i A. public meeting had been held in consequence ° the introduction of these ornaments, a rnee tilia which was scarcely calculated to promote cl lll- 0 discussion. At this meeting authority was g il ' t ° , to the churchwardens to remove the orna nle %) File vestry did not, it might be supposed, wis h , i ,t make the request to one churchwarden indepenne;6 of the other, and it had no legal powe r to g. o f such authority to both. Even in the eas e n e church rates the vestry could not authorize °cie, churchwarden to take any legal proceedings i ll pendent of or w ithout the sanction of h is _ A c league. In the present case one churchyrw-d, had acted independently of the other, and if V i a sc enes were allowed—one churchwarde n ta' d one view and the other an opposite view—the /I : to disgraceful riots would ensue. He was IlaPP J , te r. say that the law was very clear upon the lug' It was a matter of surprise that a churchwe'rtut should have acted so illegally as in this case ; Mr. Cordingley had honestly admitted that be t not a member of any Church, that he was i l iO 3r9 communion with any Church, and that he I t ' re tr had a great repugnance to the office of e htl ie o f warden.
