SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE ON
CONSERVATISM.

Sir Stafford Northcote, M.P., addressed the
Exeter Conservative Working 3ff:in's Union on
Saturday evening. They were taunted, he said, by
their opponents, that Conservatism was a policy of
reaction. 1 don't be!ieve this country is one in
which what is called reactiou is likely to take place,
nor do 1 believe that Conservatism is at all the mime
thing with reaction. I believe the spirit of Con-
servatism, as we have known it for the last forty
year., i. a spirit, I.t of real:6oU, but of ;mitre's
:-
and the difference 1 would draw between the spirit
of Conservatism and the spirit of Radicalism is, that
one is the spirit of regulated, and moderate, and
rational progress; and the other is the spirit of
rather eceen•ric, and fitful, and ill-regulated pro-
gress —(hear hear). He said the Irish Church Bill
instead of being "• iu,ssage of peace bad stirred
up additional strife. He hoped the Land Bill of the
Government would be, as was saicl,one of a moderate
character, one respeding the rights of property, and
calculated to deal with the difficulties of Irish
land tenure without disturbing the whole social
fabric of this conotiy. The late Government were
prepared to bring forward measures in Wet direction.
With regard to the question of the duck yards, from
the bottom of my heart, I believe—and t shaving it.
I feel bound to say it—the Governr, lent have
attempted in this matter to ad at all eyelet • for what
they considered the benefit of the country ; and we
must accept the individual suffering, as a necessary
consequence for Which the Government a"e not to
blame.

PROSECUTIONS FOR RITUALISM.

- ---
In the Arches Court, on Thursday, the Dean gave
Judgment in two important cases.
As to the practices of the Rev. R. If. K Wit, of
Swanniore, Isle of Wight, Sir IL J. Pbillimore
declared having • lighted candle held on each side of
the priest when reading the Gospel is illegal; that
having lights on a ratable is illegal ; and that
using inoscuie is illegaL Mr. Witt was admonished
to abstain from mcli panties, for the future, and
condemned to pity the costs of the suit.
The case against the Req. J. Parches, of Brighton,
was instituted by the Church Association. The Dean
of Arches said he was of opinion that the ornaments
of the minister mentioned in the first Prayer Book
of Edward VL, were those to which the present
rubric referred. They were, for ministers below the
order of bishops, and when officiating at the Com-
munion service, cope, vestment or thimble, surplice,
alb; and amide ; in all other eervicat the surplice
only, except that in cathedtal churches and colleges
the academical hood might be also worn. The other
vestments worn by Mr. Porcine, and the cope at
any other time but the Communion Servioe, were
unlawful, and might not be worn. It was unlawful,
therefore, for Mr. Porches to wear, or authorise to
be worn, • cope at morning or at evening prayer ;
albs with patches; tippets of a circular form; stoles
of any kind whatsoever, whether black, white, or
coloured, and worn in any manner; dalmatiaa and
maniples. With respect to the "biretta," the Dean
did not pronounce this particular kind of black cap,
called a "biretta,' to be unlawfuL With respect
to the colour of the vestments which be (the Dean)
bad pronounced to be lawful, the rubric was silent,
except in the case of alb and surplice • and the
expert in such matters, who was producad as an
authority by the promoter, deposed that the vest-
manta which were used in Mr. Parch'''s church
were in every respect such as were in use in the
church in the second year of Edward VI. The " pro-
cessions," organised by the defendant, were illegal,
and he admonished Mr. Pnrchas to abstain from
them. He then proorsded .to • group of articles
lighted candies, incense, elevation, prostration, kr..
As to mixing water with the wine, no offence had
been proved. The introduction of • crucifix be con-
demned. On the obarge of flowers being introduced,
Mr. Parches bad been guilty of no offence, ihe
introduction of a model figure of the Infant Saviour
was illegal, as also the Holy Table being uncovered.
The kneeling of the priest in the consecration service
WWI illegal. The announcement made of the
Eucharist on certain occasions was illegal, and mast
be abstained from in future. Mr. Purchas was
condemned in caste on the &nicks proved &gaunt
' him. Notice of appeal to the Privy Couneil has
been given by the Church Association in the came of
" Elphinstone r. the Rev. John Parches." The
question of the legality of vestments will form the
principal point (or the of the Council.

there woe • large majority in favour of indirect ern-
pulaion, with, at the rme time, an influential
minority against such a proposal. The conscience
clause was not, on the whole, deemed desirable, bat
was acoepted by a oonsidorable majority as the in-
evitable conoomitant of • national system of educa-
tion.
After • considerable disoussion the following
resolution was proposed by Mr. FLortLand seconded
by the ARCHDIACoN of Wharf :—" That this Board
is prepared to support the present system of educa-
tion, which now provides for the wanta of two
millions of children, with Government assistance to
those religious bodies which are ready to help them-
selves ; and if it be neoessary will swept, in order
to promote education, an arrangement which shduld
leave perfect liberty of teaching to the troller and
liberty of withdrawal to the parent; and with this
view will co-operate with the National Education
Union, without pledging itself to all the details sot
odt in the scheme of that aseration."
The resolution was carried by 19 to 7.
The Rev. Prebendary Payne then proposed the
nest resolution, which was seconded by the DUN,
and it was to the following effect :.._"That this
meeting supports the principle of indirect compulsion
in any future legislation on education."

It was then moved by the SecilaTAßY (the Rev.
Prebendary Wilkinson), seconded by the Rev. Pre-
senter LLut, and carried :—That a committee be

THE -WELSH FASTING GIRL.

-
It is rumoured upon what appears to be reliable
authority that there is to be • magistermi leverage •
ton into the death of Sarah Jacob, the Welsh luting
. girl. This announcement will give • good deal of
. satisfaction, for the public have all along been of
opinion that the evideeoe taken before the coroner
was most incomplete. The evidence of the medical
men who made the post sootier* examination was
everything that could be desired, and Meetly showed
that the little girl had died from starvation, the
nurses, too, gave a full history of the come, so far as
they were concerned; but they were merely placed
in the girl's room to watch, and to report upon what
they saw and beard. But with the exception of Mr.
Davies, Landsman, neither of the medical men who
were mixed up with the watching were staked to give
evidence before the coroner. Of this the put he
complain, and perhaps not without cause. Even
Jacob, the girl's father, has been bent for trial at Ow
sooting assize; but many express their belief that
he is not the most blameable, and for this reason.
Many persons say it is not to be wondered at the
girl's father should have been victimised, when some
of the medical men—and those most intimately
acquainted with the case—most implicitly believe ic
the story of the girl's fasting. Public interest, which
had subsided since the inquest, has been again
smutted, and the magisterial inquiry, which is
expected to commence in • few days, is eagerly
looked for. It is said, that the position of tile medical
men in the mind of the public bag undergone •
change within the past week or two. Those who.
believe that the girl fas Led and that cootinued
through seven or eight days of the watching without
any perceptible ch.nge, were much ridiculed and
blamed a short time since ; now there appears to t e
• very general opinion that those medical men win
• disbelieved in the girl's fasting, and saw her sinking
gradually, and yetallowed her to die without offering
her nourishment, are still more blameable. Mean-
while there *rem to be little preparation for the
trial, for neither attorneys nor counsel have been
engaged to defend the prisoner Jacob, who atande.
charged with a serious offence.
