The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that Lord Halifax had not up till Thursday sent in his answer to Mr. Gladstone's offer of the 'Viceroyalty of Ireland, and the Liberal party generally earnestly hoped that ho would refuse it. The Times, however, announces that Lord Halifax has declined and that Earl Spencer has accepted the post. Mr. Ayrton has been selected as business secretary to the Treasury because he is one of the very few men who combines equally bodily and mental capacity for fatigue. Lord Morley is destined for the Secretaryship of the Poor-law Board ; Lord DCVO3 resigned the Presidency to Mr. Goschen on Thursday. The correspondent adds : " The Radical party in general are much dissatisfied at the exclusive character of the new Adminis tration. The phrase on the lips of all who venture to speak out is—' Bright ; and that's all.' It is said that at the Council yesteiday at Windsor, when her Majesty was told that the member for Birmingham had a conscientious scruple about kneeling to kiss hands, she at once replied, Let him do so in any way his conscience approves; and the demeanour of the Queen was as gracious as that of the last of the Stuarts was wont to be towards William Penn. Absit omen." It is said that the new Cabinet has finally decided not to recall Lord Mayo; had they recalled him, Lord Kimberley would have been the Viceroy. Earl Spencer, who has been appointed Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, is the fifth earl, was born in 1835, and succeeded to the title in 1857. He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. He holds the ribbon of the Garter, and has re ceived the honorary degrees of D.C.L. and LL.D. from Oxford and Cambridge respectively. Mr. Otway is to be the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Lord Dufferin is named as likely to accept the post of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. THE IRISH LORD CHANCELLOR. Quite a yell of disapprobation has arisen from the Orange press in Ireland at the appointment of Mr. Justice O'Hagan to the Lord Chancellorship. The Mail thinks it to be a fatal mistake of Mr. Glad stone. Its London correspondent speaks of it as a " leap into the mud," and decla-es that the " Roman Mission " nominated his lordship, and Mr. Gladstone was unable to withstand their pressure. He further hints that Cardinal Cullen intimated the choice of the Mission to Archbishop Manning, who sent the name to the present Premier. We presume this may be set down as another of those wild stories as to the Roman Catholics and Mr. Gla(lstore with which the extreme Protestant party has entertained us so often of late. THE VALUE OF POPULAR. APPLAUSE. Just nine months ago Mr. Disraeli walked quietly down to the House of Commons one afternoon, and a crowd of people assembled to cheer the " gentle man of the press " who had become Prime Minister of England. On Thursday Mr. Disraeli had an opportunity of estimating the value of popular applause. Leaving the House of Commons with his secretary, and walking through Palace-yard on foot, he was received with a shout of derision and dislike that was very little removed from hooting. He took no notice of what was certainly a very cowardly manifestation ' • we were going to say un-English, but we fear it is a tradition rather tha n a fact,that English men never hit a fallen man. There is just this to be said by way of palliation, that the disapprobation was excited by the attempt of Mr. Disraeli's admirers to get up a cheer. The end of it was, that the ex- Premier had to be escorted from the House, as he had to be escorted to the House nine months ago, by a bodyguard of policemen. In March, however, it was the Fenians, in December Englishmen, against whom he had to be protected, EX-CHANCELLORS. There are now four ex-Chancellors who get If-'5,000 a year each. Lord St. Lconards has in this way received £BO,OOO for having sat on the woolsack ten months, beside the salary which he received during that period. Lord Cairns will get his £5,000 a year for having sat even a shorter time. Lord Chelmsford served about two-and-a-half years ; Lord Westbury four years. It may be thought that some of . these are rather dear bargains. Lord Broughcm was a dearer. Ile was Chancellor less than three years, and received £170,000 in pension. Moreover, it must he remembered that so long as the post of Lord Chancellor varies with the Government, so long must we offer some inducement to eminent men to abandon lucrative professions for a position which, as the experience of two living en-Chancellors shows, may not be worth a year's purchase TIME WORKS 'WONDERS. Mr. Lowe occupied a strange position at the Fish mongers' dinner on Thursday night,and from the tone of his remarks we might surmise he had forgotten the alarmist speeches he made not so long ago. In humorous banter he ridiculed the enthusiasm of those who expected that " Rome would be built in a day," or that startling and economical reforms would be speedily accomplished in the department over which he presides. He must have forgotten in what a remarkable manner he was satirising his own speeches. When Mr. Glad stone brought in his Reform Bill it was this he called forth the most enthusi astic applause in the house ot uominum VT lA,. lav of the proposed changes in the Constitution, that "history might record catastrophes more sudden and disastrous, but none so wanton and disgraceful." On another occasion he appealed in agonised terms to the House to save the country : " To-morrow !—'tis too sudden. Spare it, spare it 1" The Commons seemed to be almost as frightened as he was. What is the result ? Household suffrage has been carried, Niagara is past, the flood-gates of revolution opened, and we have a Whig Cabinet, with Mr. Lowe him self in high office. It appears from this that the British Constitution will bear a considerable amount of tinkering, and that such prophecies as Mr. Lowe's, however much they are applauded at the time, are sure to be made ridiculous by the event. ELECTION PETITIONS. Dr. Hall Gladstone has petitioned against the return of Mr. Lowther, the Conservative M.P. for York, and in revenge Mr. Lowther has petitioned against the return of his Liberal colleage, Mr. Brown- Westhead. Messrs. Woods and Lancaster, the Liberal M.P.'s for Wigan ; Sir H.'Edwards and Cap tain Kennard, the Conservative M.P.'s for Beverley; Mr. Figgins, the Conservative M.P. for Shrewsbury; and Sir R. Peel and Sir 11. Bulwer, M.P.'s for Tam worth, have been petitioned against. At Staleybridge and Ashton the Conservative members have been petitioned against through blunders on the part of the publicans, who, having supplied drink to Conservative voters, have sent in their bills to the wrong persons. It is said that a petition has been lodged against the return of the three Liberal members for the City. If that be true, there will be two members of the new Government who will have to stand their trial—Mr. Goschen and Mr. Forster. Two others, the Marquis of Hartington and Mr. Bruce, have to ; find seats. The judges have de cided that the twenty-one days for presenting election petitions begin from the day of making the return of members to the Crown Office. So there iS still time for fresh petitions. CONVOCATION. The Convocation of the Province of Canterbury was opened yesterday morning in St. Paul' s Cathe dral, under the presidency of the Right Rev. Archibald Campbell Tait, Lord Bishop of London and Archbishop Designate of Canterbury. The pro ceedings commenced with Divine service, during which Dr. Jeremie, Dean of Lincoln, preached a Latin sermon. The Convocation was then formally opened. ECCLESIASTICAL HVMOURS. A correspondent of the Daily .2Vews has a sly hit at Conservative clergymen. A public dinner has been given at Lee on a Friday. Many clergymen were there. How is it, asks the writer of the letter, that men who make Church and State an election cry should feast in public on a Friday, a day the Church appoints to be kept as a fast ? To make the matter worse, the Friday is in Advent. The question is an awkward one. From a Belfast paper we learn of a case of decided Protestantism. Sir J. Emerson 'Ferment caused the walls of the tower of the parish church of Tempo to be covered with ivy. Ile afterwards did the same for the Presbyterian meeting-house and the Roman Catholic chapel. The Protestants immediately stripped the ivy off the walls of their church, and flung it into the churchyard. We presume we shall next hear from them that the daylight which illumines these places, and the air which circulates within them, are " accursed things." To make Nature sectarian is a sublime conception The centenary of the Royal Academy was cele brated the other day under the presidency of Sir Francis Grant. Several prizes and premiums were awarded. This was the last meeting in the old building, the scene of so many. triumphs, the heaven of so many hopes, and the hatred of so many dis appointed ones. The new building at Burlington House will be much larger. STATE FITRCIIASE OF IRISH RAILWAYS. The agitation for the State purchase of Irish rail ways is still being conducted in Ireland. The people of Dublin are very energetic in the matter. Several meetings have already been held. Another was held on Thursday, presided over by the Lord Mayor, and attended by Lord Clanricarde, LordVentrey,Viscount St. Lawrence, M.P., Sir George Preston, Bart., Sir A. E. Guinness, M.P., Sir Peter Tait, Mr. Blake, M.P., Mr. M'Evoy, M.P., Mr.Pim, M.P., Major Knox, M.P., and several other prominent Irishmen. The special subject to be considered was the report of the Irish Railway Committee, composed of members of both Houses of Parliament. Said report expresses a hope that a measure for State purchase would soon be laid before Parliament. The resolutions carried were expressive of satisfaction that the Irish public had endorsed the proposed purchase, and that the Govern ment had been led to take steps towards an inquiry into the matter ; declared that it was the duty of the Government to take measures to purchase all the Irish lines ; set forth that the railway authorities should be well compensated; and urged that no time shouAl be lost in making arrangements. THE WIGAN COLLIERY EXPLOSION. The inquiry into the cause of this lamentable acci dent still drags on. The most important evidence yet given was adduced on Thursday by Mr. Gilroy, manager of another colliery, who gave it as his opinion that the powerful part of the explosion was caused by gunpowder. A powder-tin was found with the bottom burst out, and there were all around evidences of powder explosion. These explosions, said the witness, and their effects were not thoroughly understood. It generally sur prised one very much to find that a very small quan tity of gas—a very few cubic feet—upset the whole of the pit workings, and killed some scores of men. An opinion was also expressed that barometers were of very little use. But if they indicate in the slightest degree the existence of danger, they should hardly be cast aside. FOREIGN NOTES. DIFFICULTIES IN CIIIICA. There is reason to fear that we are drifting into another Chinese complication. The missionary affair has already assumed the unpleasant proportions of a question, and, unfortunately, it is not the only offence which the Chinese have offered to foreigners. Immediately after the out rage upon missionaries at Yangcbow, the British Consul, supported by the war-ship Rinaldo, demanded reps-, ration from the Viceroy at Nankin. The Viceroy , promised everything ; but as the Rinaldo withdrew on account of the illness of the captain, the Chinese func tionary, true to the instincts of his race, performed nothing. It is probable that the continued presence of the Rinaldo would have settled the dispute, but the Chinese are under the impression that they have gained a victory, and thus the proportions of the difficulty are materially increased. The admiral on the station is about to present himself before the mendacious Viceroy with three ships of war. Doubtless this will result in the satisfaction of all demands, but the settlement of this quarrel is not likely to end our difficulties in China. The old spirit of hostility to foreigners has braken out again : miners are being driven away from Chefoo, where gold has been discovered, British subjects have been mobbed in Formosa, and scandalous proclamations have been posted in several large towns, including the important town of Shanghai. Our old friend Yell has not departed without leaving his mantle behind him. AMERICA. According to the correspondent of the Post, President Johnson has appointed Mr. John Savage United States Consul at Leeds. The gentleman who has secured this post is, it need hardly be said, the president of the Fenian organisa tion in the United States, and master of the ceremonies which are still presumed to be carried on in favour of the indepen dence of Ireland. The Post correspondent justly anticipates that a consulate at Leeds will be a material benefit to Mr. Savage, as he will thus be established near the seat of the war which he has been organising so long. But there must be some mistake here. Mr. Johnson, who so confidently anticipates a settlement between England and America. would hardly offer us this gratuitous insult, and his suc cessor would not be likely to tolerate such an appointment, if it were made. There are many reasons why Mr. Savage would find a residence at Leeds, though profitable in some respects, a decided disadvantage on the whole. The honest party— if there is one—has gained a victory in the Erie Railway war. They have procured an order from the United States Court setting aside all legal pro cedure in the case, and transferring the custody of the railway and its funds to Mr. 11. E. Davies. The Gould and Fiske party opposed this decision so far as to entrench themselves with arms and provisions in the buildings of the company ; but they at length convinced themselves that the game was up, and their unparalleled frauds aro -t an end for the present. The two sections of Fenians in the United States, the Savage party and the O'Neill party, have coalesced for the present. A few days ago they held a congress, at which the suggestion of a commission to treat with Great Britain was gravely considered ! TURKEY AND GREECE. Though the interference of the Powers will probably produce a peaceful settlement of the difference between Turkey and Greece, the Porte seems to be thoroughly in earnest. It has despatched its ultimatum, has ordered the fleet to sail, and the troops are being mobilised. The Memorial Diplomatique says it was Lord Stanley's speech at King's Lynn which brought this energetic action, so spasmodic and unexpected, on the part of the Turkish Government. The grievances of which it complains have existed for many months, and have been practically ignored. It was the assertion that the sick man was dead that has so suddenly galvanised him into life. THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. The very serious revolution within a revolution which has sprung up in the south of Spain is due to social as well as to political cause.% It began fiat by a disturbance 8.11101115.6 an as now a ss n . .. sz e proportions of - a the Monarchists. a conflict between the Republicans , A band of workmen presented themselves before the mayor of a small town near Cadiz, demanding work. The rioters increased in numbers, and at last the mayor felt himself obliged to call in the.assistance of the troops. A conflict ensued, the movement spread, and the Republicans made common cause with the workmen. Three thousand men are now fighting against the Government. The insurgents, well armed and provided with artillery, occupy the best position in Cadiz. The distress amongst the lower orders, the want of work, and the absence of a defi nite and recognised Government, have produced the inevitable result. There can be no guarantee of public security in a country where thousands of the workmen and peasantry are hungry and idle, and where the autho rity is yet badly consolidated. In Madrid alone 16,000 men are kept quiet by employment paid for out of the Treasury. Portugal is so alarmed at the state of affairs in Spain that she is arming against an apprehended forcible annexation. ITALY. The Pun.;o'o of Milan states that the ex-King of Naples is dangerously ill. His condition, which is kept as much as possible a secret, causes the most serious inquietude to his friends at Rome. The candidature of the Duke of Aosta for the throne of Spain is said to greatly perplex the King of Italy. According to a correspondent of the Liberte, the second son of King Victor is the only prince who has the slightest chance of governing Spain, and the Provisional Govern- ment is proportionately urgent in its request that his nomination be permitted by the Italian sovereign. Great pressure is being exercised at Florence, and the mission of Senor Olozaga to Paris has but the one object of securing the assistance of the Emperor in this matter. The Duke of Aosta is 21 years of age, of a very mild temperament, and decidedly unambitious ; but he is endowed with a ruling spirit in the shape of his wife, the Princess Cisterna, a resolute woman, who strongly favours the idea of becoming a queen. Her influence in favour of the Provisional Government is very considerable. GERMANY. Count Bismarck has been entertaining the Prussian Chambers at the expense of Austria. The question whether the Prussian Embassy at Dresden was to be maintained or not came under discussion. One deputy urged that the Embassy be kept up, in order to counteract the anti-Prussian diplomacy of Baron Beust. Another ventured to say that he should like to see Prussia following the liberal course taken by her neighbour. Count Bismarck replied : " I cannot enter into any discussion on the personal actions of my colleague at Vienna. I shall observe, only, that I ignore the existence of any hostile sentiments on his part. As to continuing our Embassy because Austria has one, I do not think it possible to follow the example of Austria in general, since in that case we should require an army of 800,000 men, with a fixed service of ten years. In the matter of liberty, Austria is merely inaugurating now those institutions which we have enjoyed for the 1a.4 twenty years. Liberal Govern ments are much like the ladies, the youngest please the most." It is rather strange th at Couutlhismarck should adopt towards Baron Beust the ironical style of comment so much favoured at present by the Prussian papers, which, on the other hand, are never weary of making advances to Hungary. The sallies of the Chancellor were received with " uproarious laughter."
