PuiLtuaagoNrc Ham—A miscellaneous morn-
ing performance was liberally given yesterday by the pro.
pnetore of thts hall (Messrs. Adams sad Titration:l) to the
children of the Lionised Victuallers' Asylum, and the
friends of that institution. The hall was crowded to excess,
and the entertainments were admirably suited for a juvenile
audience. Professor Sylvester, patentee of the improved
ghost illusion, now adopted by Professor Pepper at the
Polytechnic, introduced an improvement of the fairy foun-
tain called Minnie/toAa, or the laughing waters. Mr.
Sylvester's alterations allow the iatroductioo of living
figure@ in the centre of the coloured waters, but owing to
an accident with the pipe. the fountain could only be par-
tially exhibited. There were, amongst many things, some
excellent grotesque dancing by Mr. D'Auban, the best we
have seen eince the death of Flexmore' a clever ventrilo-
quial scope with a figure by Mr. Jester, and a briniest solo
or. the drum by Master Shapeott. rb• visitors, old and
yeung, were d..lig btu!, end a large sum of money was col-
lected for the benefit of the asylum and schools.

Aprourtmr.Nr or Btsnors.—lt has been under-
stood for some time that several important questions in-
volving the privileges of the clergy and the rights of the
crown were about to be brought under the notice of the
cabinet. A cabinet council was held yesterday (Tuesday),
and it is said that some at least of the many schemes which
affect the iotereats of the church were theta discussed. Of
eourse, nothing is known of the results, nor do we suppose
that soy decision was arrived at. It is, however, no secret
that the Bishop of Exeter postpones the reriguetioo of has
diocese, in the hope that her may be permitted to nominate
a suffrages bishop, and so make an (award move towards
the abolition of the (peso's ronif cretin in the nomi-
nation of bishops. There are many abettors of thi
subtle scheme. sod chief amongst these is the Bishop
of Oxford. It is understood that, under his ad-
vice, it is proposed that • bill should be introduced,
anthorioing a bishop under certain circumstances to norni-
mite two i suffragans, leaviog to the crown the option of
selecting one of the two. How this would operate is pram
tiee we might malty Magritte by supposing the Bishop of
Exeter to prevent two each suffragans as Mr. Bennett of
From., and Mr. Greeley of confessional aotoro•ty. But
this would not be all. In process of tints the suffragan
would be regards.' as the rightful expectant of the aged or
invalid bishop, rod so the crown would gradually lose a
supremacy for which even is Popish times the Kings of
Eogland c niter:ideal, and bishops originally nominated, by
bishops would take their seats in the House of Lords as
temporal barons. Will the laity—will the barons of Eng-
land-I.M the House of Gxnmoos or the House of Lords
tamely sequi,sne in this alteration in the Liars of Englatd,
and this sarmaion on the supremacy of the crown!—
Accord.

OXFORD MIDDLE-CLASS EX A YIN ATIONS. —Yes-
tordAy afternoon there was no unusually numerous attend-
ance at the Oxford Conned Chamber, on the occasion of
the distribution of certificates and prize. awarded to
successful competitors at the last Oxford middle-class
examination, which took place, by permiesion of the
neiversity, in the schools. Among thou present were the
master of Quivereity College, the master of Belliol College,
several professor, the mayor, mid other influential mem-
bers of the corporation. Mr. Walter, M.P., delivered the
prises, sod addressed the assembly at 110131,3 length, wooled•
fog by alluding to a desire expressed to some qaartare to
enforce compalwry examinations in endowed and grammar
schools, arid strongly urging such schools to marotein their
independent character by arriving unaided at the highest
amount of efficiency.
