MASITRri AND OPER ATIVEri.-Mr. Mackinnon has
Again introduced a Bill for establishitil equitable
councils of conciliation to settle differences haweeti
niasters and operativts. It propons that the councils
should consist of an equal number of i tus and
workmen, elected annually by their own order, in any
place where ptrxons chose to put the Act in force,
besides a chairman, a per,on unconnected with trade,
chosen by the countil. The councils, obtaining a
license from the Crown, Are to have power to bear and
determine disputes between masters and workmen
sulonitted to them by both patties, and their award is
to be final and conclusive, and not subject to review or
challenge by any court or authority whatsoever. But
the Act is not to authorize the councils to establish •
future rate of wages ; nor is it to extend to domestic
servants or servenrs in budnindry. No lawyers are to
he allowed to atten.l on any hem-Mg before the councils.

A FuREIGN ADVEXITRER.—At Nottingham, on
Tuesday, a foreigner, who represented hims, If as Rerun
Zycliliii:ki, wsa brought before the sittingiiiii -istrstes at
the police-office, charged with obtaining alit by false
pr.:W0e...1 from the Rey. Henry Maltby, formerly of
biottingliain. Mr. ling!' Bruce Campbell, solicitor,
appeared for the prosecution, and stated that on the
Milt of September last the pri.oner 'wristsd at the
Flyin4 Horse Hotel, Nottiogliam, accompanied by his
couner. The Bev. Henry Maltby, his brother, and
brother's wife werestayiii,g at the Mine hotel. Mr. Maltby
awl family has previously heen staving at Bedford,
from which place they were followed to Nottingham by
the prisoner. While at the Flying Horse the prisoner
stated, through his intrepreter, that he was honourably
attached to the prosecutor's eldest daughter, who wits
than at Dover, with her mother, and solicited (ruin Mr.
Milticy his daughter, in uiarriage. He represented
himself to be the Baron Zyclilinaki, son awl heirdn-law
of Count Zycliliniiii, of Zychlin, near Warsaw. He
also stated that lie wilt captain of cavlary in the Prus-
sian service. lie then seal that he bad befriended the
wife of the rev, gentleman when she was staying in
Rome and suffering from Pecuniary difficulties, and
also that he nos:waged her written acknow ledgements
for what he had advanced. The repayment of the
money, he said, was unly a secondary considenitiou, as
compared with being able to satisfy his family of the
respectability of the Maltby', in order that he might
have the consent of his own family to take Miss Maltby
in marriage. These repnsentations made • strong
inipreasion on the prosecutor, who thought he liad said
enough to induce him to repay time money said to have
been advanced, if Mr. Campbell, his solicitor (who was
present at the time), was satisfied about the matter The
prisoner then chewed Mr. Campbell a number of
document:, passports, Lc., which represented him to be
what he had stated ; he also presluced documents said
to have been received from his advocate, instructing the
Daron to commence an action against the prosecutor for
the recovery of the money said to have been advanced
to his wife when in Rome. The prisoner showed hills
and receipts from Ifni. Maltby amounting to £4OO said
to have been received from the prisoner. He pressed
for i 111 l occlude payuient, as lie wished to leave the town
that afternoon for Genuany. Mr. Campbell then took
the prisoner to Messrs. Wright's bank, and gave him
the draught for the money. Before he left Nottingham
prosecutor gave his consent for the prisoner's marriage
with his daughter, which was arrange! to take place at
Dover, and which was consummated. Soon after the
marriage. however, an inquiry WWI made as to the
position of the prisoner, and lie wet found to be an
Imposter, being, in fact, a deserter front the Prussian
service, in which he had been serving as a private
soldier. Upon the prisoner's character becoming known
the prosecutor took his daughter away from him and
he had not been seen for 0011110 time until Tuesday
morning, when, calling at Mr. Cauipbell's office, he was
immediately apprehended. After hearing the above
extraordinary statement, the prisoner was remanded for
a week, and proceedings are being minimum' for a
divorce.

MARCH WINDS AND SHIPWRECKIS.—It is impossible to
rest or even to settle teeny employment, who) looking
out for wrecks. It in a sorer fidget than I ever went ,
through at any tragedy to see the hattielling of ships
approaching the bat in stormy weather, or tiriY.:l3
from their mooring,. The escapes are no narrow, and
the failurestare so fatal ! To see is schooner capsize, 00
that her sails lie flat on the water, and she is washed

water; to watch the lifeboat making its way to • brig,

and getting the lifeboat brought to the spot, and using
the lirt break of daylight to try for a anninunication
with the wreck, it is heartbreaking to have nog:lean:II
response from the ship, and to set us the light advances,
corpses drifting about in the surf below, or lying face
downwards on the minds. It is agonizing to see the
boat return with one or two of this crew, as the
only survivors, or with none, and to have to go home
and tell wife and children that their nem blankets

AmuIIT EsCAPE. John Can-all, who had been
brought from the City (Lod with other prisoner*, last
week, to be examined at tl.e Manchester Police Court,
on a charge of stealing iTs. from a beerhoose, cleverly
escaped (nen the custody of the gaolers. The van
which brought the prisouen4 was drawn up at the back
e•-trance to the police court, an officer hem statioued
at the door to receive the prisoners as they left the van.
Carroll was without a coat, and just as be stepped from
the van lie found himself close to ono if the workmen
engaged in the alterations which are now going forward
in the court. The workman, like the prisoner, was
without his coat ; and the officer, with a lack of pre-
caution which, under the circumstances, was, perhaps,
pardonable, called out, "Now, you painters, stand on
one side !" The prisoner obeyed this gratifying mandate
with alacrity, end was out of sight before his escape was
discovered.

" ESdATS AND RIMIEWA."—The Archbishop of Can-
terbury received on Wednesday an address on the
subject of " Essays and Reviews," signed by clergymen
of all parties in the Church, some of them very distin-
guished. The signatures numbered upwards of •,000.
The adireas ran as follow* :—" We, the undersigned
clergy iif the United Church of England and Ireland,
respectfully requests your Grnees' attention to certain
opinions contained in a volume of Essays and
Reviews,' recently published, the tendency of which,
as it appears to us, is to annihilate the authority of the
able as the inspired Word of God, to reject all miracles
(not excepting those f our blessed Lord) as incapable of
ptssif and repugnant to reason, and, in use inst ince at
least, to undermine faith in God as the Creator. These
opinions have been promulgated, with one exception, by
clergymen of our Church holding positions of great
trust, nnd possessing opportunities favourable in no
rtinn;ry degree for the diffudon of error. We there-
fore earnestly- entreat wur grace to take counsel with
the other member* of the episcopate, and to devise
such measures a* may, with God's blessing, banish and
drive away from our Church all tench erroneous and
strange doctrines. The opinions against which we pro-
test as being repugnant to the natural meaning of our
formularies' and inconsistent with the teaching of the
Church of England, are expreased in the arc pitying
exttacts from the ' Foways' to which we refer." (Then
follow a number of extracts.) Ili, Crane expressed his
gratification in receiving the deputation, and full con-
currence in every opinion eniNedied in the memorial.
With regard to the ne ans to be adopted in this cue,
his Grace showed the difficulty of acting legally, owing
to the technicalities and formalities attending the
Ecclesiastical Courts, which might have the effect of
protracting the discussion over two or three years. Ilia
chief confidence, said the rev, i'relate, was in the
answers which the " Essays" would receive from the
niembers of the clergy themselves, who were well quali-
fied to answer them.

Tut: ItEV. MIL POOLE, OF N let II TSif RIDGE.
Judgmevt was given Is Lord Cranworth on Wednesday
in the case of atipeal brought before the Judicial
Cotumittee of l'rivy Council by the key. Alfred Poole.
The Bishop of Loudon appeared as respondent in this
case, his Lordship haring revoked the licence of Mr.
Pia& as Curate of St. Paul's, Kinglitsbridge. Against
this removal from his curacy, which was done in
conacqueliCe of CtPllfel4lolll 11/11.1 other improper practices
being encouraged in the church. Mr. Poole appealed, in
the first instance, to the Archbishop, who, however.
confirmed the art of the Bishop, alld the present was
a second apge il from the Archbishop's decision. It
was declared by the Court that no right of appeal
existed from the decision of the Archbishop, whose
judgment in the matter must be held as final. And
thus Mr. Poole lune reached his r4/:iota auk, beyond
which no power of further litigation lies.
A LADVis PARLIAMENT IN PA ROL—I T is not in the
Senate only that the spirit of discussion Is evoked.
Another and afar dare:milt Parliament sits occasionally,
and at no very great drhtanco from the ancient palace
of Mario de Medieis. The association of ladies who
sympathise heart and soul a Ali the cause of government,
good, or had, provided it he that of I.egitimacy and
Divine right, have also had their meeting for the pur-
pose of electing the delegates who are to present a gold
casket to the Queen of Naples, in testimony of liar
conduct during the operations before Gaeta. No short-
hand writers were present, but we hear ' that
the dehojo was very animated, and that this Par-
liament atax petits pieth surpassed in eloquence, or
at least in fluency, the rival establishment at the other
end of the town A motion was made, seconded,
supported ardently, and carried hy a considerable
majority, that the fair deputation should not include
any lady who is the wife of a senator, or, indeed, of
any one holding office, honorary Isr otherwise, under the
Imperial Government. The casket is said to be a very
handsome one, and will be accoinpenied by an address
to tbo oz-Queso said to tb• occasion,
