LITURGICAL PURITY our RIGHTFUL
INHERITANCE • • or. the Prayer Book Revised upon
Scriptural Principles. By JOHN C. FISHER, M.A.
" We have long desired to see the question at issue between
the two great. Church parties treated in this method, because we
desire to substitute clearness for confusion, and to enable men
to see the extent of the doctrine, either on one side or on the
other, in which they must be prepared to acquies^e if they
would remain members of the Church of England."—The Press.
" This is a very remarkable performance, which can hardly fail
to excite general attsntion throughout the ranks of the Chnrott
of England."—Christian Witness.
"The book will find its way, sooner or later, into the hands of
all thinking men who care for the integrity, and are anxious about
the future, of the Church of England; and is calculated to
render no common service to the cause of Liturgical purity by
habituating the minds of men to those ideas of reform from
which they are apt to shrink in suspicion and dislike."—Record.

THE PRESS.

the contest, and the severe reproof he has received
at the hands of his betrayed constituents, it may be
that he will enjoy his " otium," in this sense, minus
the " dignitate." Ile is a great riddance from the
Senate, and Lord Palmerston will be relieved of the
perilous duty of rewarding Lis elastic and supple
toady with the Solicitor-Generalship.
It appears thit Mr. Gregory, the elect for Gal-
way, is a supporter of Lord Palmerston. There is
at once so much and so little implied and involved
in that description, that it is hard to define the
principles which attach t) such a political profession.
We know that, as member for Dublin, Mr. Gregory
was a Conservative. We will hope he is so still
for his own sake and for the sake of the cause,
of which he is calculated to be an ornament.
As for the issue of the contest at Leitrim, it is of
no cocsequence at ali, now that Mr. Ormsby Gore is
not a candidate. Mr. Tenison is a Whig ; Dr. Brady
is just what Mr. Hayter wants him to be for the
nonce; and Mr. Montgomery is a staunch and valiant
Conservative. He will, of course, head the poll.
Whether Dr. Brady is allowed to devote his whole
time and talents to his patients in London, and Mr.
Tenison is sent to St. Stephens to swell the Whig
clique proper, and join the Burkes, and Norreys,
and Magans in their gentlemanly devotion to the
Premier, is really a matter of no moment whatsoever,
nor will the wise surrender five minutes repose to so
unprofitable a subject.

The LOSS of HAIR.—One of the most annoying proofs of
the inroads of ruthless time has been most successfully supplied
by OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, which has been no
less remarkable than important to thousands who have expe-
rienced its powerful effests in encouraging or reproducing a fine
growth of hair. Oldridge's Balm produces a beautiful curl, frees
the hair from scurf, and the first application stops the falling off.

THE ELECTION OF A SPEAKER.

THE following circular has been issued to the mem-
bers of the Liberal party:—
Whitehall, April 15, 18.57.
My dear Sir,—As the first business upon the assembling
of Parliament will be the election of a Speaker, I take the
liberty of informing you that Mr. J. Evelyn Denison will
be proposed as a candidate, and I trust that the whole of
the Liberal party will attend and concur in his election.

May I venture to press upon you the importance of
being present on the 30th of this month, on which day the
election will take plqce? I should feel grektlf obliged if
you would have the kindness to inform me whether I may
rely on your presence and support.—Very truly yours,
W. G. HAYTER.

LORD PALMERSTON AND THE EUROPEAN
LIBERALS.
THE Verona Gazette last week, in an article upon
the Sardinian question, alluded to the close alliance
at rresent existing between the Governments of
Vienna and London, and maintained that this entente
cordiale was no argument that Austria had " con-
tradicted herself, or given proof of instability or of
undecided policy "

The transfiguration has taken place in the English
Government, and more particularly in the conduct of the
Prime Minister. It is Palmerston who has repented, and
not Austria that has changed in policy and seeks allies and
protectors. Austria is glad to renew that friendly inter•
course which appeared to become more and more distant ;
but for her the new alliance is an argument of mere moral
satisfaction ; she saw before that even animosity could
hurt her vcry little ; for the revolutionary party, on the
cmitrary, the loss is irreparable.

MR. PALK, M.P., UPON CHURCH RATES
AND PARLIAMEN LARY REFORM.

MR.PALK, the Conse:vative member for South Devnn,
dined on Friday week with a numerous party of his
father's tenantry at Torquay, arid in the course of
his speech, after expressing his gratitude to the
electors for the recently repeated manifestation of
their confidence in him, and joining with a previous
speaker in the hope that much of the unhappy dif-
ference that had existed between Churchmen and
Dissenters of this country might be supplanted by a
better state of things, he spoke as follows :

I allude more particularly to the question of church
rates. It is a question which lies agitated the public
mind for many years, and I think the time is now come
when that question should for ever be set aside. But
there are difficulties—difficulties of great importance. The
law that would be good for populous towns like this, and
for towns of even greater populations, will not altogether
do for purely agricultural districts. But Ido hope that the
time has arrived when the question of church rates may
be met without political feeling, and that each honourable
man—and there are plenty of them—upon both sides, will
toszether combine and accept that which I betere would
settle the question for ever—a fair and honourable com-
promise, Gentlemen, I hardly know that I have yet an-

SATURDAY,

quired a position to enable me satisfactorily to bring the
question before the House of Commons. I know too well
that a bad advocate frequently damages a good cause. liut
whenever the question is brought before the house rest
assured that I will endeavour to support or to suggest
some measure which, I trust, may have the concurrence
of Dissenters and the acceptance of the Churchmen of
England.

Gentlemen, I look forward to the next session of Parlia•
meat with considerable apprehension. I think matters of
vast public importance must be brought before the house ;
I think the words which were said to bind party to party
have disappeared ; and I think that the time is come when
it is necessary for every man, whatever his principles may
he, to march with the times and to give effect to the opinion
which has been clearly, and distinctly, and plainly
expressed by the country at large, that the present state of
the representation must be a subject for the consideration
of the house. To that consideration I mean to bring an
unbiassed and unprejudiced mind. I totally decline to
pin my faith to, or to guide my actions by, an) man. I
will, with your pet mission, act as I think is best for you and
best fur the interests which you have intrusted into my
care.

The honourable gentlemen concluded by expres-
sing a hope that whenever he had again to resign to
the electors of South Devon the privileges which
they possessed, they would at least admit that, how-
ever imperfect his talents might be, he had never
deceived them nor pandered to popular impulse, but
had used his best exertions to give them full and
efficient service, and to further the interests of the
country.

In the engineer's department 46 firemen and coal passers

carry in addition to her guns, ammunition, coal, spare
spars and sails, enough of provisions, clothing, medicine,
grog, and nearly every other necessary required by all on
board for a three years' cruise. Undoubtedly the Niagara

navy, and wherever she goes will reflect credit upon the
genius and mechanical skill of the country.

In these times, when " official aptitude " is
so much insisted upon, the Prime Minister
ought not to have made his selection of a can-
didate for the Chair merely on the ground of
strong personal friendship. Mr. DENISON is
deficient in many of the prime requisites for till-
ing the Parliamentary Chair with tact, smooth-
ness, and efficiency. His rather peculiar temper
would render him ill-suited for presiding over
a House of Commons to which an excessive
number of " new members" have been re-
turned. The tone of a dictator in the Chair
has never been liked in Parliament.
Mr. DENISON, it must be observed, has
shown no previous qualifications for the dis-
tinguished post. He is not a constitutional
lawyer, nor an authority on precedents. Above
all, the Honourable Gentleman has never been
accustomed to exercise control over others
with pretensions equalling, and even surpassing,
his own. To meet dignified persons on terms
of equality is infinitely easier than to exercise
sway over them, without wounding their self-
respect. Capacity for affairs, also, is abso-
lutely demanded by the daily duties of the
office. Legislation cannot rapidly advance if
an uncertain, timid voice issues from the
Speaker's chair, or if a faltering hand hold the
helm of Parliament

The most competent observers concur in
thinking that Mr. DENtsoN would not be
popular in the Chair. His habitual tone is
not suited for the position. His age, also,
seems a great disqualification. Can it be ex-
pected that a gentleman in his fifty-eighth
year may look forward to so long a tenure of
office as to entitle him, in point of justice, to
the honours of a peerage?
The claims of Mr. WALPOLE to the Chair, on
the other band, are certainly vastly superior
to those of Mr. DENISON. Eminent at the
Bar, distinguished in debate, a practical
judge of the exact limits of controversy,
inheriting an old Parliamentary name,
and representing the University of Cam-
bridge, the public claims of Mr. WALPOLE
are immeasurably beyond the pretensions of
Mr. DENISON. The personal aptitude of Mr.
WALPOLN is, also, of a far higher kind. His

INFANTRY RIFLES.

SOME interesting and important experiments have
during the last few days been in progress at the
Government School of Musketry, Hythe, in order to
test the comparative merits of the Whitworth and
Enfield rifles. A contemporary this week publishes
a full acct.unt of the trial, from which we extract
the following, as of considerable interest to all who
have the efficiency of our army at heart :
The trial, which was one of the most searching and im•
partial character, was conducted by Colonel [lay, the able
head of the school, and has terminated in establishing
beyond all doubt the great and decided superiority of Mr.
Whitworth's invention. The Enfield rifle, which was
considered so much better than any other as to justify the
formation of a vast Government establishment for its
special manufacture, has been completely beaten. In
accuracy of fire, in penetration, and in range its rival
excels it to a degree which hardly leaves room for com-
parison.
The following table gives the best results that have been
obtained from ten shots of each arm respectively in the
course of the experiments, which have extended over a
week in time, and were brought to a close yesterday in the
presence of Lord Penzattre and co! a number of military and
scientific spectators :

It would appear from these figures that at 500 yards in
lOshots the Manchester rifle has a superior accuracy of 1.87
of a tint ; at 800 yards 3 11 ; at 1,100 yards 5.63 ; and that
at 1,4011 yards and upwards the Enfield weapon ceases to
afford any data for a comparison. In penetration the re-
sults obtained have been equally decisive ; the Whitworth
projectile with the regulation charge of powder going
through thirty-three half inch planks of elm, arid being
brought up by a solid cak bulk beyond, while the Enfield
bell could not get past the thirteenth plank.
The shooting on Tuesday was more to satisfy Lord Pan-
more and the other strangers present upon the comparative
merits of the two weapons than to show the limit of what
each could do under favourable circumstances. Still, the
targets of every ten shots on either side bore decisive evi•
dence of the superiority of the new rifle, as a glance at the
following table will prove :

subject, as well as on the aggregate, be publicly known,
and let the order of merit decide the order of appointment
to provisional commissions. From this point let that
special training commence (at Sandhurst or elsewhere)
which is to qualify for professional duties, and the result
of which, on an examination at the end, say of two years,
is to decide into which branch of the service (if any) each
individual is to be admitted.

On this principle, a public schoolboy destined for the
army will feel throughout his school-life that every day's
attention to his appointed work at school is telling
directly upon his professional success. Do not attempt, I
would say, to define beforehand what he must know in
order to pass the first examination for the army, but try
what he does know, and judge from that whether he gives
promise of doing well what he will have to do hereafter.

Dr. Vaughan then touches upon the point of compe-
titive examinations, as being the system best adapted
to stimulate candidates for the army to make the best
use of their time and abilities, and concludes as
follows :

Nor, again, would I desire to pitch too high the intel•
lectual standard itself. But I see no fear of this. The
question rather is—suprosing that the very same class of
men are to enter the army who enter the army now—how
can they be most effectually induced to make the most of
such abilities as they possess, and of such educational ad-
vantages as are given them? And I am convinced that
this will best be done ( I ) by having them examined, not in
special subjects prepared for the occasion, but in such
subjects as their boyhood has been professedly spent in
studying ; and (2) by their being stimulated by at least a
moderate system of competition to desire to get a high
place among those who may have been educated in the
same way, and are now candidates fir the same profession.
If the number of nominated candidates were to the number
of commissions actually competed for but in the ratio of
three to two, and if the names of those examined were
arterwanls published in order of merit, I believe that the
effect upon the early education of our future officers would
bi immense.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MoNnAy.
COMMUNICATE ,N WITH INDIA.

Mr. GRIFFITH aske i the noble lord at the head of
the Government whether it had been under the con-
sideration of the Government to avail themselves of
the opportunity offered by the Atlantic Telegraph
cable not being now in. employment in order to get it
laid down in the direction of communication with
India—for instance, to Alexandria? Also, whether
it was true that permission had been obtained from
the Pasha of Egypt for our troops to pass by the
Isthmus of Suez, and whether it was the intention
of her Majesty's Government to send them in that
way ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that the cable was not
the property of the Government, and could not
become so without the sanction of Parliament. He
would not give any opinion as to whether it could be
of service in the way proposed or pot, bet at this
period of the session no application could be made to
Parliament on the subject. With regard to the
second question, he had to reply that no particular
communication had as yet passed between the Pasha
of Egypt and the Government. The house was,
how-ver, aware that during the hte war it was
thought desirable that we should avail ourselves of
the means of communication by the Isthmus of Suez,
and that on application being made to the Pasha of
Egypt he not only made no objcction, but gave every
facility for the conveyance of troops. His hon. friend
must at the same time be aware that the passage
by Suez to India was one attended with great incon-
venience, difficulty, and expense.
