The return of the Court to Windsor from
Balmoral is unavoidably postponed in cones-
(pence of the indisposition of Prince Leopold.
The Prince bee been suffering from one of those
periodioal attacks of hcemorrhage to which he
Is liable. At present there Is some expectation
of Her Majesty leaving Balmoral for the south
about the end of this week. The Prime and
Prlooses of Wales, with the Royal children, are
at Sandringham, and will give a county ball on
the 28th inttant.

It is a feud dream of some theorists that there
is • tendency in man, ash. advances in Writing,-
tion, to dispense with meaningless and preten-
tious accessories, and to adopt simpler and more
expressive modes of life. The marriage ceremony
of the Duke of Edinburgh will go far to dispel
all such illusions. The marriage will first take
place according to the forms of the Greek Church.
After describing the introductory service of
appropriate prayets, the blessings of rings and
crowns, and the crowning of bride and bride-
groom, the Swiss Times continues Each
then takes in baud • glass of common wine
during which curtain prayers are repeated, and
• sponsor or witness to the union then comes
forward. The rings and the crowns worn by the
bride and the bridegroom are then interchanged,
after which hymns are sung by an officiating
priest. Three circles are then made by the
bride and bridegroom, who carry lighted candles,
the archimandrite bearing the censor. Another
prayer is then offered up, commending the
parties to the Almighty, and imploring •
blessing upon the union, signifying, in accordance
with the rites of the Greek Church, the union
of Christ with His Church : and after the
arohimandrites have conferred absolution the
ceremony is brought tO &
conclusion." After
this the comparatively mild forms of the Anglican
Church, which are necessary to complete the
marriage, will appear tame enough; but in order
to impart to them an adventitious magnificence
they will be celebrated, not in the Anglican
Chapel, but in a large MOM Of the Palace set
apart for the purpose.
While Baron Coleridge—the designated title
of the new Chief Justice of the Common Pleas
—is installed on the Bench, and retains no more
anxieties about Exeter the comely old city is .
torn with • conflict which is to rival the Bath I
and Bristol fights, if not to involve quite as
much party feeling as is being kindled through-
out the country by the re-election of all the
School Boards, Oxford, and Edinburgh
University will probably return the gentlemen
seeking re-election unopposed; but there are
other vacant seats—Cambridgeshire, through
the accession of Lord Royston to the Earldom
of Hardwick, ; and Ilaverfordwest, where
Colonel Peel twelay endeavours to unseat Lord
Kensington, on his seeking the approval of his
constituents of his accepting office as Groom in
Waiting to the Queen. There is yet another
vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Thomas
Baring, M. P., in whom the Conservative leader :
his but • trustworthy supportr r, and the House
• sound adviser on all subjects, but especially on I
questions affecting the commercial world, of
which it is conceded by political opponents he
was one of the brightest ornaments, maintaining I
with true dignity the character of • merchant
prince. In this character he evidently preferred
to live and die, for it is recorded that twice he
declined • peerage, and twice the post of Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, while most oeuscien-
tionaly discharging his parliamentary duties as I
the representative of Huntingdon during nearly
thirty years.
Mr. Disraeli's visit to Glasgow was a great
snows& To the students at the Kibble Hall the
Lord Rector delivered • lucid may on life. He
de,cribed the spirit of the age as the spirit of
! equality. Civil equality—that is, equality of all
subjects before the law, and a law which
rextgulaes the personal rights of all subjects--the
, only foundation of a perfect commonwealth.
• France had illustrated that the principle of social
equality was not one on which • nation could
safely rely in trial and danger. 'No one to lead
and nothing to rally round.' was the situation
, there. Civil equality was quite another thing.
I The essence of civil equality was to abolish
' privilege; the essences of social eqtallty to destroy
1 classes. The demand of the day was for physical
I and material equally, and that was the disturb-
ing spirit. Against this Mr. Disraeli warned his
hearers. He denounced the leading principle of
the new school, that there is no happiness which
Is not material, and that every living being has
• right to &share in that physical welfare. It was
not true that the only real happiness we. physical
happiness ; it was not true that physical
happiness la • principle on which one can build
up • flourishiog and enduring commonwealth.
Society had • soul as well as • body ; the
traditions of a nation were part of its existence,
The new philosophy would redoes civilised
society to human flocks and herds. The chief
thought of the peroration was put into Greek-
-

Th, se things and all things, Mall times, I say,

He has his erred ; let me adhere to mine.
It was a verse from 'the most Attic of Athenain
poets," Sophocles, of course. The lines have
long been favourites of Mr. Dieraeli--sometimes
a solace and satisf otiou to him in the perplexities '
of life, and the right hon. gentleman at parting
delivered them to the students of Glasgow to
gWde your conscience' and guard your lives."
The Board of Trade, not without good reason,
has issued a circular to the ohairmen of the
various railway oompanles, osiliug theh atten-
tion to Captain Vern report of railway
accidents for last year, which is believed to
have oontinued and even to have been
aggravated in the present year. The Board
attributes most of the accidents to causes within
the control of tbe companies, and calls upon them
to find appropriate remedies for the great evil,
as also (for the leaser but contributory one of
unpunctuslity in passenger train.. The Board
of Trade has not spoke a moment too soon, for
we continue almost every day to have • report of
some new collieon on our railways; but ibis to be
feared that the exhortation, of the Board of
Trade will have little effect unlets accompanied by
legislation. Only one other influence than
legislation will probably ever have much effect
upon railway companies in providing an
' effectual remedy, and that ie the disoovery that
the interest on the capital for duplicating our
existing trunk lines would be destruction of
property. It is becoming every day clearer that
our railway traffic ie outgrowing the capacity of
our great lines, and that what we want is separate
lines for goods traffic. Almost every collision
we read of is between a goods and a passenger
train, and the inference is simple—give each
clue of trains a different track.
An unexpectedly large majority In the
Assembly has supported the French Govern-
ment in the demand for a prolongation of
Marshal MacMahon's powers, and he is appointed
Chief of the Executive for seven years against
the report of the Committee of Fifteen and in
the face of M. Grevy's declaration thet the pro-
visional situation cannot last, and that the
country will refuse the Assembly the right it has
claimed. The Duo its Brogl e put the case from
his point well when he said ; " We are under a
Republican reyime and under Presidential
responsibility. It does not belong to us to
efface this Republican quality in order to con-
vert the President into a constitutional king."
The news from Sir Garnet Wolseley is highly
satisfactory. With small forces at his command
he has twice defeated the Ashantees. and placed
them on the defensive. The official despatches
evidence that the Best spirit prevails among the
troop, at Sir Garnet's command. They have
also led us to form a higher estimate of the
strength of our Ashantee enemy than we had
conceived before, and to see that properly
directed forces under British officers are well
able to cope with them, though they are in the
II lit in large numbers, and the mode of warfare
—a sort of bush fight—is much more in their
way than in that of any body of men we can
move against them. The question upon which
opinion is most exercised is how far the expedi-
tion must proceed. Quick and complete
measures without doubt will be the most merciful
to all concerned. But will it be necceeary,
assuming that the Asbantees are driven back into
their own country, to invade them there and
destroy their capital? The Ashantees thiuk
nothing of treaties, less ot loss of life, or any eon-
ditions of peace we might impose. The only
lemon they would seem likely to understand
would ho a decisive blow at Coomassie. To
accomplish that, Sir Garnet IVolseley. though
he condemns the railway as useless, will want
considerable reinforcements and supplies. These
now go forward, and tho ri.sult is anticipated
with coutidonov.

It has been oVident for some time that Turkey
Ins 1.4%-n carrying on • war in Arabia likely to
lead to complications with ourselves. This
appeared most imminent when the Turkish
toms were represented es appcosehing to within

thirty miles of Aden, and menacing chiefs whom
wie were under obligations to protect. We hays
now the assurance that Turkey has recognised
this fact, and that the expedition against which
we hare remonstrated will stay its raid. This is
well ; and the industry with which Turkey la pro-
fessing to undertake financial reform is bringing
the Sultan rather into favour.

Ths Money Market ii .se,";7ier• , the rate of dis-
count falling to eight per cent, the Bank reserve
rising to £9,700,000 or 41k per oent, of the
liabilities, and with gold flowing in upon us from
all quarters, and with the rate of discount in the
open market standing at 6 or 6} per cent.' the
chances are that before this week is out we shall
see the Bank minimum at 7 per mot. The
Igyptian G evernment h sending in large amounts
of gold, and two or three Australian ships are on
their way with more; about a quarter of a
million has been returned from the provincials
this week, and there is half a million yet to come
back from Scotland. The American market con-
tinues to absorb all the cash we have to spare at
8 per cent,; but the demand is slackening, and
the general impression in the city Is that "the
presents of 1873" is over, and that for the next
few months it will all be plain sailing, although
we moat not expect our manufacturing industry
to be is active this winter as it has been.
