I ENGLAND, TURKEY, AND RUSSIA.
I The report that the British fleet is to proceed to the
Gulf of Smyrna has aroused feelings of embarrassment
here. People say that if the Sultan removes Mehmoud
Nedim and other Milli/UM in consequence of the
menacing position taken up by the Beaconsfield
Government, it would be a diplomatic defeat for
Russia, difficult to support. To prevent this by
sustaining the Sultan in his prompt choice of Ministers,
It is obvious that a counter-demonstration in a military
direction by Russia might be considered necessary.
s The 0 doe refers to the change in Lord Beeconsikki'e
policy, which lately professed to maintain the integ-
rity and Independence of Turkey. It says that the
I,resenos of the fleet will open the eyes of Europe to
the real cause, namely, the implacable hatred of Russia
exhibited by the British Ministers at every convenient
s and inconvenient opportunity.

THE "MUNICIPAL.

"When the hurly-burly's done. When the lxittle'r
hat and won." There well-worn phrase of Ithakespiare
can hardly apply to the rerent Municipal contest, if...
the " ton-burly " was a ter/ mild chatacter. The
Interest (rid, or at any rate the interest exhibited, was
exceedingly small. Of the result we cannot say eh.
excepting that we feel mire it will be rather a ...time
of regret to a large her of the inhabitants of the
Melcombe Regis Ward that two hard-working
and conscientious Councilmen Ilk Mr. S
Webb, and Mr. Lanuing sl Id he ousted. N.,t.
for a moment would we say anything againsit the
ability and elual conscientiuminers of the ruccesrful
candidates. But Mr. 'ebb and Mr. tanning, we are
sure, can satisfy their consiencer that they hate done
their duty, and their best in their millinnrised labour..
in Council And although they have lost the honour of
being members of the Municipal body, we can truly
say they have done their part well, awl we wind' only
remind them of the saying---" Act well your part,
there all the h ...... ur Of the new members
ithotvzh hardly lI,W OLlierl we can heliete that they
hat e the honour and welfare of their town at
heart, and will endeavour to act their lad faith-
fully and wisely That we ward men of keen

f w the questions that will shortly arise in the Ceuncil
will, we fear, cause much heart-burning an-I dispute.

a• an instance of the v.lcate cordi..b., existing or at any

political parties also of the unimportant place which
politics !lel in the contest, there can be only
mentioned the fact of Mr. Bunn and Mr. Walker
obtaining exactly the same nunil r-r of votes. Let us
hope the Municipal body with it. new blood will be
able to dirpore of the questions ',sin to arise in a
satisfactory manner.

LIILWORTZ.

Pianarrsnon.—The Rev. W. Glides, who for many
years has bad charge of Watt La'worth parish, where a
church was built some seven or eight years ago, is about
to leave for Netharbury, the vicarage of which ha
become vacant by the resignation of the Rev. H. W.
Yeatman. As a mark of the esteem in which Mr.
Glides was held the parishioners of West Lulworth
last week presented him with a gold watch and an
address. In acknowledgment of the sass Mr. Glides
said he mute to the pariah If years ago a perfect
stranger; he bad met with nothing bat kindness
during his residence there. He believed the Church of
England Lobe the truest and purest branch of the Catholic
Church on earth notwithstanding her many imperfec-
tions and shortcomings. But while holding these
views be had never presumed to claim for iiimmeU a
monopoly of truth, and be had never deemed it his
duty to try to win convert* from others by active
interference. He had aimed at making the Church of
England in that plane so attractive in her ministrations
as to make it manifest to all that she lad God's bless-
ing with her.

GRAMUAR SCHOOI, TEACHING, AND
GREEK.

The revival, on an improved plan, of the old
Grammar dchool of Dorchester, gives occanion to note
and prote.t agalaat at utterance .4 the great Tribune
of the people Mr. John Bright. The good old man
has dune such service In his time, and in so many ways,
that it is not surprising that, in the present days a
turmoil abroad and back-sliding at home, excitement
should lead him, for once, into an ill-considered state-
ment. But, so great is the just iofinence of Mr.
Bright that it is the more needful to protest where we
believe bun wrong, for many will blindly follow his
groat name even to an extreme which perhaps was n t
oontemplat.l by Mr. Bight himeelf. We do not
expect the Governors of the Grammar School to follow
Mr. Bright, yet a few words may be in season as •
caution. He has declared that • man may las as great,
as fool, and as wise, knovriog only his own language,
and the wleilool in it, as if he knew 41 the Latin
and Greek bauks that were ever written. Had Mr.
Bright confined his aspersions to the study of
the inguri.nt and unpruned fancies Gast run wild In
the ancient myth. 1 i:y of Green and Rome, and front
the prurient fi.vour of suei vile things as Lowprierc'e
Dictionary, heartily would we have speed with him.
But when we think of the studies fit for a grammar
seltsol, or indeed for any lady or gentlemen, n.m student
can overlook, or fell to proclaim, the value of a certain
di dect or variety of one of the lan _nage* despis d by
Mr. Bright. Fm. la it r..lineinbere I, it is to
Pale,tinian "reek that we owe some of the grandest
booka over written in any tod.:us, nay, it was in that
languahe that a Higher thaa all human writers
revealed to the world the completion of that grand
revelation that shows how man may be just with God.
And, valuable and dear to us as is the Authorised
Vendee in our native tongue, even the dabbler in the
claii-Ica must have felt he bad • clearer insight ioto the
deepest things., as a oAiseepteuce of study of the original
Greek.

Who that has studied the true meaning of the word
a ,apt but must have perceived b.tw the Greek all vat
the antidote tor all the schemes built up by the Raab
church on their false dacriptiott of " charity r Then
what Christiso stu lent but boa felt his heart warm
when—reading the Greek of the passa,.• " I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee, '—he fauna in the original
the five negatives lateasifying the bloused promise.
Instances might be multiplied bevood the limit* of oar
arta!' ; but we do not need to adduce them to gentle-
men like the governors of the Grammar &boo'. And,
not only them, bat all true Protestant,, do we urge
stood tip for and enc maga the study of the original
Greek testament, as one of the moans most Wessel lo

assisting them during the coming winter and next year;
in both cases 1 know the widows will he hardly, if at all,

NAVVY MISSION SOCIITY.

To the Mier.
Bir.—l ask your kind permission to briag before your
rams,. an wesal which has reached me on behalf of the
Navvy Society, an appeal not for money dc'
but for gifts of sawed hob tending Idle is hostilistkihol
shelves" The society, conducted by a committee of clergy-
men, of whom the Dean of !ipso Is a le=tpt:,..ber.
was set on foot within the last few years through
the devoted efforts of • dear cousin of my own, rector
of Lwathley. in Yorkshire, whose labours for a Innis navvy
co/oily esteblished in his country parish undoubtedly
hastened his early death. At his funeral, seedy two
years ago, • large party of navvies attended, keying
walked mO7 miles oa purpose to be there. I may thus
, be allowed to express a deep personal interest in the
society; but I can, on purely general grounds, commend
It as doing an excellent wort, by endeavouring to provide
means of religious instruction and social improvement for
the navvies scattered in out-of-the-way settlements over
the whole of England; frequently, of course. In parishea
where the ordinary scooramolatiou for D.vlne worship,
and the normal clerical strength are quite Inadequate to
meet • large alien Julius. Amongst other means of
usefulness, the society has gathered a small central
library, from which boxes of books, to be changed from
time to time. may be sent to navvy-settlements where the
society is at work. I learn from • devoted worker in this
good enterprise that only the other day the first day spent
on a "public works' by the newly-appointed clerical
secretary (the Rev. Bryan' Brown), he was nixed by the
men themselves to send some books before winter; and
this request was made on • wilirtap where, for the pert
two yeers, MO men have been t arv4 The demands thus
made cannot possibly be met unless the existing library is
largely reinforced by gifts, correspondent begs your
readers, through me, to "look through their shelves for
volumes no longer needed. Bound-up magasines, books
of travel, religion, history, lc., children's books; in fact,
anything of • useful kind, and tracta end old schoolbooks,
