Cons EXCHANGE, Fatnai.—The supply of wheat this
week has been good,but moderate of other grain and flour.
This morning's market was numerously attended from
the country, and wheat mat au active inquiry, but the ad-
mace demanded restricted all but the most urgent buyers
from operating. Sales were consequently not extensive,
although at an improvement of fully Is. per quarter. The
value of barley, beans, and peas, remains as on Monday.
The oat trade is film at that day's prices. For flour there
is a fair demand, at an advance of Ud. to Is. per barrel.
London average prices :—Wheat, 4.&5. 111. ; Barley, 31s.
10d.; Oats, 19s. Od. ; Rye, 31s. 3d. ; Beans, 355. 7d. ' • Peas,

SMITHFIELD.--.FridAV*B market was very moderately
supplied with beasts, the general quality of which was by
no means first-rate. All breeds moved off freely, at au
advance in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs. Although the
number of calves was large, the veal trade was firm, at hill
currencies. A very superior calf was worth se. 2d. per

THE NEVISVF.NDERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION held
their fourteenth annual meeting at Anderton's Hotel
on Wednesday ; Mr. Wild, of Catherine-street, in the
chair. The report stated that during the past year
;'lOl. had been added to the vested fund, making the
total permanent capital of the institution 1,4251. The
report recommends the erection of almshouses, by
means of small weekly subseripti nis, to he called
" Metropolitan Newsvenders' Almshouses." From
the balance-sheet it appeared that the receipts during
the year amounted to 11.21.45. t4d., while the expendi-
ture was MS/. 15s. 4d., leaving a balance of 41. 10s.
rd. due to the treasurer. There had only been
one claim upon the fund during the year, and that
was from a non-member of the association. The
report was adopted, and the proceedings shortly
afterwards terminated.

APPALLING CHARGE AND REVOLTING LEVITY.
Tax public will have observed that Lord MALMESBURY has been
mysteriously accused by the Times of having during his tenure of
office secretly conspired with Russia and Austria for the total over-
throw of the French Empire at the very moment of its recognition by
England, and that his Lordship is challenged to prove the negative to
this appalling charge!
- -

- -
It appears that the very natural silence on the part of the ex.
Minister to this request has excited the anger of Lord ABERDEEN'S
Scotch butler, who happens to be intimate with the editor, and is in
the habit of mixing his toddy for him. This gentleman accordingly
repaired to Lord MALMESBURY'S residence, and inquired of his French
valet why his master did not exculpate himself? M. LAFLEUR is
stated to have replied that, considering the Noble Earl was shooting
boatloads of wild ducks on his Highland lake, it was not likely he
should notice a " canard " in the Times; and, upon old Sawney asking
" What kind of duck is that? " to have answered, "It is a sort that
sits upon mares nests, and is constantly dressed up and swallowed by
Lord ABERDEEN and the Times."
The cook, who was standing by, explained to the staring Scotch-
man that " canard" and " hoax " wore synonymous terms.

The Imperial troops have obtained signal advan-

THE KIDDERMINSTER WEAVER.

A leader in the Times of Tuesday commences by informing us that
" the Kidderminster weavers have returned to their work." The
information was superfluous as respects one of them whose release
from restraint was at once evident by his hungry descent on the poor
human spoil which has drifted helplessly to the shores of Australia.
We could wish him better pabulum, for his rigorous sarcasms at the
expense of suffering are emphatically of a low order. There is a wide
interval between the production of his three leaders and the genial
process which could " draw three souls out of one weaver," which has
so perplexed the commentators on Twelfth Night.

TIIE PRESS.

" The various mananvrea in the Russian fleet are eite-
cuted with great precision; but it appears that every man
hits hiv peculiar post, and that be is tit fur only one set of
manipulations. Of counse practice makes him perfect;
but the question is, how the same manoeuvres ate to be
performed in battle when many of the crew are killed or
disabled? The Duke of York insisted on the same turn
being marines, gunners, and sailors ; and surely his prin-
ciple was the better one. The stiffest mechanism prevails
in the Russian naval service. The Russian sailor works
his hours off, and having worked them o►l' he goes to sleep.
He takes no interest in the service, and the receiving his
rations is, in his opinion, the important business of his
life. He is not wedded to his ship as the British sailor;
he is not. a child of the ocean. When he sees a stray rope
Ire does not coil it and put it aside, he reports the matter
to his lieutenant, and the lieutenant refers to the journal
fur the name of the man who has neglected his duty, and,
having limed the culprit, lie takes hold of his ears and pulls
him up to the neglected rope. Such is Russian order and
discipline. Russia is nut fit to engage in a naval war, for
she has no mercantile marine. Her trade is in the hands
of the Germans, English, Greeks, and Swedes. In the
case of all the great naval powers, the war fleet sprang front
a trading fleet. The Russian fleet is not a natural off
spring of the national inclination; it is a thing of order
and commma►d, and, tl gh possibly useful us a means of
defence, it can never become an instrument of aggression.

" Russian fleet consists of five divisions,—ef which
three are stationed in the Baltic, and two in the Black Sea.
In the last war with •Turkey, Russia bad 31 vessels of the
line, 9.i frigates, 20 corvettes and brigs, 7 brigantines, 6
cutters, all schooners, 20 galleys, 2:s flouting batteries, 121
gun-boats, making a total of 401 sail, and carrying 6,000
guns. Since that time a great activity has prevailed in
the Russian docks, and the result is that at the present day
the Russian fleet consists of 60 vessels of the line of from
70 to 1•NI guns, :17 frigates of from 40 to 60 guns, 70 cor•
vettes, brigs, and lotigantines, 40 steamers, 21)0 gun-boats
and galleys, the whole maimed by 42,000 sailors and 20,000
marines, with 9,000 guns.
" In a contest with any of the great naval powers, Russia
has not a chance of success. The various Czars have.
indeed, strained every nerve to create an efficient fleet, but
all their endeavours ar• fruitless, unless Russia succeeds
in completing and appropriating the coasts of Turkey,
Greece, and Sweden—the open sea, harbours, and a marine

The combination of extremes in this poli-
tical mid has simultaneously compelled a
repression of disturbing elements. The Os-
BORNES have been muzzled—the MouiswoaTtis
taken from their hobbies—the (ii.AnsTosrrEs
have not been allowed to press a single consi-
deration in favour of their peculiar ecclesiasti-
cal tenets—the antagonism on foreign affairs
has only protracted Cabinet Councils—the
Protestant and Papist ingredients of the mess
have ouly once boiled over in view of Parlia-
ment. The activities f nll, confined to a
common range, and excluded from the sepa-
rate sphere of each, have had unlimited exer-
cise in a limited field.

We might call this state of things a success
if an the graver motives and deeper passions
which agitate a free community eould be
henceforth obliterated ; but progress is impos
bible under mere conditions of truce, and the
stimulated action of one half our energies,
while the rest are rigidly suspended, is not a
peaceful triumph, but a state of political Para
ly sin. _ _ _

We simply cheat ourselves if we accept any
enumeration of items as a compensation for a
fundamental error in the account. And, bearing
this in mind, we are content to admit that the
talents of the clerks who were bred to the

tion of recognised statesmen, and have been
thus tturemittiugly and creditably exercised.

PROTEST OF THE NEW TAXPAYERS AGAINST THE CHANCELLOR OF

THE EXCHEQUER.

Bow, wow ! Mr. CHANCELLOR, Bow, WOW, wow!
Your pretensions to tax us we don't allow.
At the time you were throwing a tub to the whale.
You were not too proud to angle for sprats.
But what we want to know, without fail,
Is why you tax'd us, and not the cats.
From your innermost motive lift the veil.
Is it because we worry the rats ?

Mr. GLADSTONE, we do not credit a word
Of the various excuses we have heard.
What if we bark at beggars and brats,
And roll upon College garden plats,
And sprinkle carpets and moisten mats,
Or take up with Punch and the Acrobats,
These habits afford no clue.
To be classed with the funds and the assignats,
Oh, no ! Mr. GLADSTONE, we're not such flats !
It's all along of our feud with the rats,
That your vengeance makes us rue.

Though you frown upon tandems, and balls, and bats,
And the jovial brew•age of famous vats,
And pretty girls, and their pleasant chats,—
Though we know you're prudish and stern,—
This was none of your fine " justitia fiats,"
But one of your personal tit for tuts ;
And, because we're given to worry the rats,
You worry us in return.
TRAY, BLANCHE, AND SWEETHEART.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1853.
POSTSCRIPT.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
News has been received from Constantinople
dated the 19th inst., hut it conveys no definite in-
formation respecting the long-delayed acceptance of
the proposed terms by the Porte. The Turks, it is
said, were anxious for a pacific settlement through
the aid of the four powers, but they require some
alteration in the note that had been sent from
Vienna. A Turkish courier was to proceed to that
place on the 20th, with the note modified according
to their wishes. The changes are, however,
reported not to he of an important character, nor
such as will prevent a peaceful solution of the
question.
In Paris it is thought that the Emperor of
Russia is secretly throwing obstacles in the way, to
gain time ; ►hat, notwithstanding all that has been
done, his troops wilt pass the winter in the princi-
palities; and, finally, that he has not yet abandoned
the hope of seeing France and England embroiled in
some way or other, and their relations in 1854
different from what they now are.
The Cologne Gazette states that the American
vessels of war have been all united under one com
mander in consequence of the affair of Costa not
being yet terminated, and the Austrian squadron
having been concentrated.

FRANCE.
The Emperor and Empress express themselves
much delighted with Dieppe, where the health of her
Majesty has improved.
A Baptist chapel at Channy, in the department of
the Aisne, has been closed by order of the authori-
ties, but the ground for such a stringent measure is
not stated.
The son of the lately-deceased General de Montho-
lon has been appointed Consul-General and Chargé
d'Atf►irm at I.lin:►.
It is stated that a fire broke out on the 10th inst.
in the village of Asnieres, near Bourges, and consumed
100 habitations and onthouses.
London, England, 1853-08-27

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Great excitement has been caused among the
boyards of the Danubian Principalities by a tirman
of the Sultan disn►issing the Hospodar for having
received the Russ►ans with too much favour. This
tirman having been read to the Assembly of Boyards,
they petitioned the Hospodar to retain the govern
meta. The Hospodar consented. Upon this the
Consuls of France and Great Britain untnediately
suspended their relations with his Government. The
French Consul placed his countrymen under the pro-
tection of Greece, while the British Consul declared
to the English residents in the principality that he
could not any longer protect them, ►►ince the Hoepo•
dar opposed his Sovereign's commands.
General Osten-Sacken, the commander of the third
corps of the Russian army, has crossed the Pruth
with his forces.

A Russian commission has arrived at the Sulina
mouth of the Danube to investigate the condition of
the river, and advise as to the means of making it
navigable.
A letter from Taganrog of the 3rd inst. states that
the result of the harvest most favourable. Lame
purchases of grain and breadstuffs are said to have
been made there and at Hosted' for exportation, and
the transactions would have been still more exten-
sive but for the want of vessels.
The Russian Consul at Adrianople, who had left
his post, has received orders from the Consul-General
to return forthwith to his duties.
Explanations have been offered by the Austrian
Government to the Porte respecting the proposed
transmission of an Austrian force into Servia. M.
io Bruck, in the presence of the Ministers of Great
Britain, France, and Prussia, assured the Ottoman
Ministers that, in proposing to occupy Scrvia, Austria
had no desire to make the slightest attack on the in-
tegrity and sovereignty of Turkey, but merely to aid
in the maintenance of order ; and that, if the Porte
did not consider this aid necessary, the Austrians
would not cross the frontier.
Advises from Belgrade announce the outbreak 04
a rebellion in Servia. The insurgents propose
tab lishing the son of Prince Miluath on the throned
the principality.
A conspiracy has been discovered at Aleppo. The
conspirators are Mussultimn fanatics. Their object
was to plunder and kill the Christian inhabitants of
the towns. The ringleaders bad been arrested and
transported to Rhodes.
Two British vessels had arrived at Malta on the
15th with stores for the naval establishment of
Sinope. The Inflexible frigate was preparing to
return to Besika Bay.

PERSIA.

A letter from Erzeroum, published in the Patric,
states that, according to very recent accounts ro-
ceived frum Persia, the English influence was again
dominant at Teheran, and it was said that the Shah
had granted t,) an English company some important
privileges for mining in the southern provinces.
The same company had made propositions to the
Government for the establishment of a mint in the
Persian capital, and it was thought that they would
be accepted.

The CLITIII:r.or. election commenced on Monday,
when Mr. Starkse and Mr. Peel were nominated,
the former as a Conservative, the latter on the free-
trade interest. Next day wax appointed for the poll-
ing, when, after a closely-run contest, the Conserva-
tive candidate wax returned by a majority of eleven
votes. The numbers were—for Mr. Starkie, 21d;
for Mr. Peel, 205.

At Coax the election terminated in the return of
Mr. Beamish, who obtained 1,183 votes against 1,003
recorded for Col. Chatterton.

In SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE no opposition will be
offered to the election of E. P. Shirley, Esq., to
supply the vacancy caused by the elevation of Lord
Brooke to the peerage.

THE ELECTION OF ♦ SEFRENENTATIVE PEER FOR
SCOTLAND, in the room of the Earl of Seafleld, is ap-

rood-house on the 7th of September.

THE INTENDED DINNER which the friends of Mr.

THE PitESS.

A most determined and gallant race followed. As
Candlish went on he appeared to get more in rowing
form, and, overlapping his opponent's sternpost, threatened
a change of position, but as often as he got nearer his
opponent's sculls the effOrt was met by a corresponding
effort on the part of Messenger, who passed under
Hammeramitlebridge a clear length ahead, and, although
again and again menaced by the desperate spurts of his
opponent, Messenger continued to lead. and finally won by
above a clear length after being retarded by a foul just
before coming in. The winn'r rowed in a boat built by
himself, and was trained by Mr. Styles, of Putney. The
nice was rowed with an indifferent tide in 243 minutes.
Betting was for the most part even, but in some instances
5 to 4 on Messenger.

SPAIN.

The Espana, of the 20th, publishes accounts from
Manilla of the 12th June, giving a detail of the
operations of Colonel Mariana Ozcariz against the
pirates in the sea of Jolo. He had killed eighty, and
made two hundred prisoners, and had delivered
thirty-six Christians who were detained in irons by
these outlaws. The Spanish troops had also ob-
tained possession of a quantity of arms and two small
pieces of cannon. A report received from the Cap-
tain-General of the Philippine Islands speaks in the
highest terms of the conduct of the Spanish forces
on this occasion.
SWITZERLAND.
Colonel Bourgeois and M. Ochsenbein, a member
of the Federal Council of Switzerland, and chief of
the Federal Military• Department, arrived at Heflin-
Kona on the 10th. General Dufour and Colonel
Ziegler arrived on the 18th. It is believed that the
presence of those gentlemen in the canton is con-
nected with an extensive plan of fortification to be
executed without delay. Several companies of
sappers from Vaud and other cantons, who had been
originally called out for drill, are to be employed on
those works.

It is stated that the Prince of Prussia has pur-
chased for two millions and a half of dialers the tine
estate of Prince de Puthus, in the island of Rugen.
It has been stipulated, however, that he is not to
take possession of it until after the death of the
present proprietor.
THE OVERLAND INDIAN Mau, arrived at Marseilles
on Thursday morning.
THE Lady Joe el steamer arrived at Plymouth
yesterday, after a passage of thirty-five days front the
Caps.

FOREIGN FUNDS.

The transactions in the foreign funds have been
extremely limited, and with little fluctuation in
price.
A report of the Secretary of the Home Depart.
ment of New Granada is before us, in which he pro-
poses to extinguish the foreign debt of that country
by means of a lottery. The foreign debt, with capi-
tal
and interest, amounts to 11,7•21,292/. sterling ; but
let not the Granadian Government delude itself with
the notion that they will be able to dispose of shares
in a lottery in Europe. The only way would be for
a portion of land, duly defined, to be offered to the
bondholders, and for them to accept or reject it as
they may deem expedient.
RAILWAYS.
The Railway Market throughout the week has
been extremely heavy.
Below will be found the closing prices. The mar-
ket to-day for English shares has been very heavy.
The market for French shares is, on the contrary,
firm.

If the" Large Measure " is to satisfy the expee-
tations it was intended to raise ill certain quar-
ters, it must altogether change the character
of the legislative body of which we are agreed in
approving the results. If it be a reproach to
any of its constituent ',arts that it was elected by
eorrupt agencies, it will be a singular remedy if
this " Large Measure," in deferenee to those to
whom it was promised, should be framed de-
signedly to subordinate the portion of the
English Commons against which there is no
imputation, nor even a whisper, of suspicion.
We accept fairly the statement put, birward
by our oprinents—" Since the great reforms
Ism, no year has been inure fruitful than
" the present in measures of genuine utility
" and public improvement." There is not a
class in the empire distressed or impatient.
" There is not an exception—no, nut, a single
" agricultural parish or ship-building port—
" not even the Spitaltields weavers, or the
" handbiont weavers, 411. any 41ler 111111101101'W
s—to the general prospeiity."
The bites are propitious, "from the factories
" of Alinichester to the shores of the MIS-
" pill MIS and the bamks of the Irrawaddy ;"
an4l there is not so much as it cloud even
over the Otxpian. Butt the Scotch Jupiter
is required to prove his divinity by thun-
tiering in a serene sky ; and, amid these in-
ducements to a statesmanlike quieseenee, Lord

REVOLUTION.

" NONE but electioneering Catholics need

ST. GERMANS in selecting officials. In addition
to the long list of Roman Catholic prilllll,tions

FRIDAY EVENING.
Tin state of the Money Market during the week
Angularly confirms the view we last week took of it.
In the early part of the week money was in great de-
mand for commercial purposes, and 3t, and even 4,
per cent. was paid for discounts. The Bank of Eng-
land has thus become the cheapest market, and in
consequence large amounts of paper have been sent
in foe discount at per cent.
On the other hand, so great has been the demand
for Consols and other Government securities for in-
vestments on the part of the public, that the Bank
and the bankers are enabled either to sell stock,or to
raise money on it on the Stook Exchange, at 1 or 11
per cent. ; and as this operation has been adopted to a
very considerable extent, so long as it can be
effected there is no occasion for the Bank to raise the
rate of discount.

---
We never remember a time when so many con-
flicting elements were at work to prevent the forma-
tion of a decisive opinion as to the turn the Money
Market is likely to take.
On the one hand the demand for capital for trade
and commercial purposes is immense, and it may
be taken as certain that it will continue so long as
the supply of gold keeps pace with it; but on
reference to the subjoined table it will be seen that
not only have the Californian and Australian supplies
been absorbed, but the bullion in the Bank of Eng-
land has diminished to the extent of four millions
sines this period of last year.

The marvel is, where all the gold goes. We know
that large amounts have been sent to the Continent
for the purchase of wheat; large quantities are also
exported for the purchase of hilver in France, for
remittance to China and India, and this demand
continues still to exist. There is no doubt also that
the rise in every description of produce, and in the
wager of labour, causes a greater demand for capital
and absorption of coin. The facilities of COMMlllli-
cation, and the vast commercial euterprises now in
operation, also have that tendency; still, with all
this, one would think that, if the balance of trade
were so much in favour of this country as we aro led
to suppose, it would demonstrate itself by an
inernite rather than a diminution of our bullion.
It may be said, on the other hand, that sufficient
time has not elapsed for a return for our vast ship-
ments to Australis, and, as confirmatory of this idea,
this week's arrivals of gold from Australia amount
to nearly one million sterling, and, from a slight
improvement in our exchanges, it is possible that the
*gut to the Continent may have been stopped, and

OFFictAi. Norio: has been given from the Castle
of her Majesty's intended arrival in Dublin on the
29th inst. Great preparations are already making
for her reception. According to the Evening Mail,
the Royal visit will be strictly private. 'there is to
to be no levee or drawing room, and the Exhibition,
probably, will be the only place of public resort.
where the people of Dublin will be ittlerded the
opportunity of meeting the Sovereign face to face.
THE CORK ELECTION commenced on Wedneaday,
when Colonel Chatterton and Mr. Francis Bernard
Beamish were respectively proposed as candidates.
A show of hands being called ler, the High Silent('
declared it to be in favour of Mr. Beamish. The
poll was to be taken yesterday (Friday) morning.
THE WRIT FOR A NEw F.l.Ecrios in the borough of
Dunganan has been received, and the nomination
will take place next week. Mr. J. F. Maguire, the
late representative, is the only candidate who has
yet addressed the electors.
THE WEATHER has again become sunny and sea-
sonable, to the great joy of the fanners and of the
whole community. Harvest operations are proceed•
ing with great vigour all through the country, and
the reports of all the crops, including potatoes, are
most satisfactory.
THE GOVERNMENT have issued the necessary orders
to the constabulary force to collect the annual re-
turns of agricultural produce, stock, dm. The police
will enter upon this important duty next week.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A ROYAL VIMT has materially
improved the prospects of the Dublin Industrial Ex-
hibition, and the sale of season tickets has recom-
mewed with much activity. An official return has
been published of the number of visitors from the
opening in the month of May down to the Ilth inst.
—in all 79 days. The total visitors at half-a crown
each were 173,146 ; at Is. each, 400,415; total,
573,561. The net pmeeetts are said already to ex-
ceed 00,000/.: and, according to present appearances.
Mr. Dargan will conic elf no loser by his liberal and
spirited speculation.

the resistance of a few individuals may cause
a degree of opposition and difficulty which it
is not worth while to encounter—the proceeds
are generally small, the expenses of law always
considerable—prudence, peace, economy, all
combine to forbid a struggle.
Once more, let us remind our readers how
large a proportion of ecclesiastical incomes are
raised either from sources independent of
church rate, or from that part of church rates
which falls on churchmen. In round numbers,
the revenue of the establishment equals
0,000,000/. Some put it higher, some lower ;
wc_lake a mean. Church-rate revenues do not
exceed 000,000/., or 10 per cent. on the whole ;
and of these, the sum paid by dissenters cer-
tainly falls short of 100,0001., while it probably
conies nearer to 50,000/. In one MSC, 1-60th

of the total income ; in the other, 1-120th of
that income. That is to say, the above amount
ought to be collected. But in practice but a
small fraction of it is collected ; the real pay
ment falling far below the nominal debt.
Is this a tax worth fighting for ? "No
change or compromise" may be a fit motto
for Rome ; but it is scarcely one which can
or should be adopted by our Reformed and
Protestant Church.

Pit/ an Voila.

WREN the late memorable SMYTH FORGERY CASE
so suddenly broke down, and the counsel retained
for the plaintiff threw up their briefs, there remained
upwards of fifty witnesses to be examined for the
plaintiff, and eighty for the defendants. The defence,
it is understood, would have been of the most coin-
plate kind. For example, Mr. Herapath, the ana •
lytical chemist of Bristol, would have proved that the
deeds were forgeries, the ink and the sealing-wa:c
'being of modern date, and other peculiarities woub
have been established in the seal. The Bishop of
Gloucester and Bristol had also ascertained that Dr.
'Verney Lovett, who was alleged to have married Si r
Hugh in Ireland, did not take his degree of D.D.
until 1800, which was thirteen years after the alleged
nuptials. It had further been proved that, on the
day of the alleged interview with Sir John Smyth,
Mrs. Way was not at Heath-house, nor did the ba-
ronet go out at all. The prisoner, however, was seen
near the lodge-gate. The plaintiff, it would have
been shown, left his home while young, and took a
service ; that while in such service he stole the horse
referred to on the trial; that subsequently, in 1814,
lie was in Bath keeping a school in Ladymead, that
he was accused while there of an abominable offenco,

and was admitted to bail, which bail he ran from
and forfeited. A consequence of this event was his
reparation from his then wife, Mary Ann Whittick,
who had, it is said, before her marriage, lived in ser-
vice at Ashton-court, and who subsequently beyond
all doubt served as housekeeper there in her proper
Dam as Prods. Several of the members of the

MANNING THE NAVY.

The new act to make better provision concerning
the entry and service of seamen, and otherwise to
amend the laws concerning her Majesty's navy, was
issued on Thursday :

The act has humediate operation, and its object is to extend
the service of men and boys, and otherwise to amend the law
concerning the manning and discipline of the navy. Former
provisions, amended-, are extended to men entering torten years,
or for ally other term of continuous or geuend service. Boys
under eighteen entering are liable to serve till twenty-one, and
when eighteen or upwards to serve for ten years stud to on.
Extra pay is to be matted to men detained sifter the expiration
of the period of service, in eases of emergency. Persons enter.
ing the navy are to be entitled to such bounty as may be Axed by
royal proclamation. The act is not to affect the right of the Ad-
miralty to enter seamen for any period, and to discharge them
Men entering for continuous and general service, and boys, ar•
to be entitled to pay while in sick quarters, under certain regu-
lations. Spirituous liquors are not to be brought on board bet
Mgjesty's ships without the commander's consent. Men absent
fur forty.eight hours without leave are to forfeit their pay during
absence. Power is given to try and punish summarily persona-
guilty of desertion. Imprisomnent, wider sentence of naval'
courts, may be either with or without hard labour. It is pro-
vided that persons making fraudulent representations, on enter.
big the navy, may be punished us rogues and vagabonds. Rail-
way companies are, by this act, required to convey navel forces
upon the same terms as the military and police forces.

NEW WRITS.
New writs were, on Monday, ordered by the House of Com•
mons to issue for the boroughs of Stamford and Dungarcam
whose late members, Messrs. Ilerries and Macguire, had ac-
cepted the office of stewards of the Chiltern Hundreds: also fur
the borough of Clitherue, in the room of Asrinall, *hose

CHURCH RATES.

THE decision of the House of Lords in the
long-litigated Braintree ease has established a
point frequently in dispute, and which lies at
the very root of the whole church-rate contra
versy. It will, perhaps, be remembered that
the parish of Braintree, in Essex, has for
many years past acquired an unenviable
notoriety in connection with this quarrel.
The holy war of churchwarden against vestry
was nowhere waged with more uncompro-
mising pertinacity. Fur be it from us to
revive the memory, or to trace the successive
steps, of a lawsuit, or rather of two suits
closely connected, and following one on the
other, which jointly have lasted without inter
mission from dune, 1887, to the prompt time.

THE PRESS.

commence operations on the Ist of August. It pro-
mises to be a valuable institution. Trade was dread-
fully bad, little being done except for immediate
consumption. Mining operations throughout the
island were engaging much attention, and they
had every appearance of proving very remunerative.
From British Guiana dates to the 14th ult. have
been received. The Chinese immigrants had proved
to be docile and laborious. The weather had been
highly favourable to the crops.
