Tao Cerra' News Moles, in the establishment of
Protestant congregations in Spain on the queerest
possible grounds :—" Cholera was • bewares, but a
necessary one. It taught us to carry on our sewage,
and to whitewall dirty wall.; and we are in hopes that
the pest of Protestantism now invading Spain may
teach the Church of that land to purify and reform
what is bad, superstitious and profane in its rites. Its
administration, and the mode of life of its clergy." The
antra News, be it remembered, claims to be an omen
of the Anglioan Church; yet the writer. haven° hesita-
tion in soling that members of that very Church are
scourge.. and as great pests as the cholera.
Tug W•RWICKSHIII SCANDAL —The London corres-
pondent of the trial Times states that the reported
scandal cae of Warwickshire is unhappily too well
founded. Sir Charles Mordannt, representative of one
of our oldest English beioneteies. has entered the
Divorce Court, and filed his petition against Lady
Mordannt, sister of the Duchess of Athol mad the
Countess Dudley.. Tbe co-respondents are Lord Cole,
son of the Pan l of Enniskillen, and Sir Frederick Johns-
ton, • relation of the fair iarrignasic No damages are
claimed. There will not, therefore, be any neosseity
for prolonged and sensational inquiry before • jury.
Respondent and co-respondents traverse all the pat!.
boner's allegations, and the charge of adallsr7 Maine
unequivocal denial.

IT is phaseout to know that there is • proceed of
employment for a large number of the strong working
men who are cow leaving Ragland for the Biitish
possessions in North America M the hope of obtaining
there the employment which they are unable to Ind
at home. Mx. Monsell, the Uoder.fitioretary for the
Colonies, has 'toted in the Rouse of Commons that
sever.l hundred miles of the Inter-Colonial Railway
will be in the course of construction in the summer on
which emigrants may be employed, and they will be
entitled to allotments of land after haring been so
engaged for three years. In Canadian leg-houses, with
an acre or two of ground, the steady Woolwieh or
Deptford workmen may find • home and comfort
such lie he might have hoped for in vain in the old
country.
Putnam AT WIAXIIIN rm. —At Unable of but week
Warminster was thrown Otto • stalest themes excitenseat
by the Renouncement that Messrs. Pollee sad Bon, one
of the oldest and most rapeseed firms of solicitors in
the town, had suspended badness and were missing.
Toe report proved but too true. The firm having
enjoyed the confidence of the Warminster public, had
become possessed of a large amount of trust money.
The amount of their defalcations is at present unknown,
but it is expected it will be many thousands of pounds,
Mr. Pullen bad left the town for several weeks and gone
on the continent, avowedly for the benefit of his health.
Dig eon left last week, sad nothing is at present known
of his whereabouts.
THE BALLOT. —Whoever melees the witnesses to give
evidence before the Parliamentary and Municipal
Elections Committee, there con be no doubt that the
general weight of the testimony is in favour of the
and that the oommitte will probably be induced
to report in favour of secret voting as • preventitio of
eorruption. It seems to me, however, that it would be
well before the sittings of the committee are dosed,
that the election judges should be invited to give
evidence. They must have acquired eonsiderable
kernel...dee of election practises, and mot be thoroughly
competent to form an opinion whether the ballot
would be beneficial They are not likely to be pre-
judiced spinet this expedient, as it is well known they
do not like the duty of adjudicating upon elution
petitions, and the adoption of secret voting would
poetically abolish such petitions, except where rioting
or violates was alleged.
Boum on Noluni?—We have • report from
Germany of a so-celled scientific experiment, the
perpetrator of which ought—if he is secure from legal
punishment—to be scouted from association with all
honourable members of one of the noblest of pro.
fessioar. We all shuddered when we heard of tise cruel
experiments on live animals made in some of the French
yobariaary hospitals. But Dr. Vont Trautvetter of
