THE CUERENCY QUA:,TION.

DEPUTATION TO THE BOARD OF TRADE.
A deputation from the Currency Iteform Mao-
elation, which has for its object the establishment of a
government bank of issue, the preventi u of panics, the
advancement of trade, and the reduction of taxation,
waited on the !tight Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote, at the
Board of Trade-office. Whitehall, yesterday afternoon.
The deputation consisted of Mr. A. Alison, chain:ern of
the society ; Mr. Edmond Iteales, vice-ehairinen ; idt. W.
11. Smith, Mr. J. Brett, Mr. John Robert Taylor, hon.
secretary, and other gentlemen.
Sir STAFFOLO \outHl O E avast that he would give the
subject his best consideratlAn and coufer with the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in reference to it. In the meantime
he thanked the deputation for atfortling him the opportu-
nity of knowing their views on a subject uhich he comb
dered as Important as any that could occupy the attention
of the government during the ensuing Sttriil/0.
The deputation then withdrew.

THE AltninOtOhoiacah SoCIETY OF LONDON.
—The president and council of this society yesterday
evening invited the members and friends to a convenaizione,
at their rooms, St. Martin's-place. The spee‘lemaking
common to gatherings with a similar nun. was pro-
hibited, the object of the meeting being simply to enable
gentlemen anthropologically disposed to inspect the many
objects of curiosity provided, and compare conversational
notes upon the scientific topics naturally arising from
them. Ample food for discussion was found in the abun-
dant and rare specimens brought together. At the en-
trance to the chief room a huge (labour& gorilla in a com-
fortable glass ease grinned a welcome to the guest*. It
was presented by Mr. Winwood Read°, end is a
larger, and in some respects a finer specimen
than that in the British Museum, and possesses
the genuine attraction of real hands and feet,
such extremities not infrequently being cunningly
enough made of wax to impose upon men of no mean pre-
tensions to knowledge of gorilla-kind. A remarkably per-
fect skeleton of an Indian, hideous enough to satisfy the
most enthusiastic lover of his species, stood erect a little
further on ; and there were carefully classified in various
parts of the room some scores of skulls representing the
inhabitants of each quarter of the globe. Skulls of the
ape tribe, and the bones of other animals were also to be
seen in excellent preservation. A collection of flint im-
plements was much admired both for its quality and quan-
tity. In odd corners interesting specimens of the handi-
work of savage tribes were shown. The walls were
covered with diagrams, photographs, paintings, and
models. Not the least valuable thing to be seen was a
large album belonging to the society, containing photo-
graphs of Indian and African natives, in some instances in
their nude and savage state. The society's invitations
were so cordially responded to that the rooms were
crowded.
CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW AT VICTORIA-FARR.—
There is now at Victorla-park one of the prettiest floral
displays which at this season of the year it is possible to
find. It hes been the custom for many years to collect the
choicestspecimens of chrysanthemums end pompons' grown
in the park, and to exhibit them under canvas. This
year Mr. W. Preface, the head gardener, has surpassed all
his previous efforts, for the collection is numericiolly larger
and far handsomer than that of any previous 'ear. Every
shade and colour is represented.

is no doubt that they would be accepted, after
much show of reluctance, by all the Southern i
States as hard conditions whichthevictorions North
had a right to impose. But the third section of the
Amendment raises personal antagonism to it on
the part of nearly all the leaders of Southern opi-
nion. It provides that " no person shall be a Senator !
"or representative in Congress, or elector of
" President and Vice-President, or hold any office,
" civil or military, under the United States, or
" under any State, who having previously taken
" an oath as a memberof Congress, or as an officer
" of the United States, orasa member of anyStato
" Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer
"of any State to support the Constitution of
" the United States, shall have engaged in incur-
" rection or rebellion against the same, or given
" aid and comfort to the enemies thereof. But
" Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each
" House, remove such disability." The operation
of this dame would be to put an extinguisher
upon the ambition of most of the former leaders
and statesmen of the South. It does not disfran-
chise them in any way—it merely disqualifies
them for all public office and trust. They may
vote, but cannot be voted for—they may take
their share in every election, but cannot be elected
even to the temporary function of elector for
President and Vice-President. They would be
obliged to abandon public life, and give place to
new men in new times. Of course they enter
vigorous protest against such a disqualification,
and equally, of course, the people whom they
have long misled are not willing to
consent to the deposition of their leaders.
But surely if unfaithfulness to public oaths
is to be punished at all, it could not suffer a
lighter or more fitting penalty than exclusion from
the posts to which such declarations are attached ;
and if unsuccessful rebellion, which has always
drawn upon itself the penalties of treason, is to
have any penal consequences, they could not pos-
sibly be leas than disqualification for office under
the Government against which the rebellion was
directed. General Wens Hamrroe may congra-
tulate himself that he has not an old world
Government to deal with. Anywhere on the Con-
tinent of Europe he would have had to submit to
something far worse than the shame of pleading
guilty of treason. Had any European Govern-
ment forgiven its rebels as the Federal Govern-
ment has done, the world would have been
filled with praises of its clemency, and the
objects of that clemency would themselves
have thought little of the shame of admitting
themselves guilty. The excited and indignant
protests of the South are greater than the occasion
justifies. The rhetoric of NV "Luz Haxeros's indig-
nation ends in an anti-climax. It strikes us much
as though the alarm bells rang, and the rattles were
sprung, and the town was roused to find that the
door of a citizen had been shut in his face.
This clause of the Amendment shuts the door of
office against those who having been in power used
that power against the Union ; and the world will
join the Northern people in treating the indigna-
tion of those who are excluded by it as beating no
proportion, and having no relation to their circum_
stances. It is usual for a defeated general to
acknowledge warmly any generosity on the part of
the conqueror. General Lzz did this ; and it
would do greatly more than their present course to
win the admiration of distant contemporaries if
the other leaders of the Southern insurrection had
done the same.
It is not very likely that the North will forego
this section of the Amendment. It could well
afford to do so if the other clauses were in opera-
tion, or if the coloured population, who are all
loyal to the Union which has freed them, were
allowed their share of the representation. Many
Northern statesmen think this plan better than even
that of Congress, and the Radical party has
taken as its motto, " Universal suffrage and
" universal amnesty." On this platform the com-
plaining statesmen of the South might stand safely,
and hear no more of exclusion from Federal and
State offices. But it must be either this or that.
They must join the Mulicals of the North and give
universal suffrage in return for universal amnesty,
or they must submit to the passing of the Consti-
tutional Amendment just as it stands. Six months
ago the North might have lent its ear to proposals
for compromise, and a conciliatory course taken
by Mr. JOHNSON and by the South might have in-
duced it to withdraw this third section of the
Amendment fur the sake of speedy peace. But
the time for such compromise has gone by. The
South has again attempted, with the PRESIDENT at
its head, to over-ride the North ;it has again been
defeated, and it will have to take the consequences
of defeat. It refused to be content with less than
all its unequal claims, and it is now the turn of
the North to refuse to take less than all its just
and moderate demands.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER

Tut: statesmen and people of the Southern States
are placed in a very trying and difficult position.
For a year past they have been making efforts to
re-enter the Union from which they so gaily seceded
live years ago, but they have found it to be far
easier to dissolve their connexion with it by accla-
mation than to renew it by determining to do so.
There were two sides in the matter of secession,
and they had to find that the aide they had not
coti-oilted was the stronger, and was able to put a
decisive veto on their resolution to destroy the
Union. They have now found that there are two
sides to the ipiestionof " reconstruction," and they
arc just finding that though they have been kept
to their Federal duties, they are not to resume
without guarantee or concession their old
and repudiated share of the Federal power.
They fought their secession battle themselves,
and fought it well, and having been
beaten have shown no reluctance to confess their
defeat, but they have had to stand by with folded
hands while their reconstruction battle is being
fought for them by the PRESIDENT and the demo- '
crats, and they are not yet convinced that their
Northern allies hare lost their cause. Northern
opinion had " discounted " the anticipated results
of this week's elections, and has decided that
the "Constitutional Amendment" must be adopted
but Southern opinion has not yet come up to the
point at which submission to defeat is accepted,
and untoward circumstances are made the best of.
Were it not that the language of Southern states-
men now reminds us so forcibly of similar language
used by them just before their final submission, we
should take but a gloomy view of the situation
of things in the South. That the people are
earnestly anxious for the full restoration of Federal
relations there can be no manner of doubt, but
that they are prepared to accede to the terms
offered them there is no evidence to show. That
they will yield in the long run we have no doubt,
but that they are yet in the yielding mood we do
not at all believe. The Governor of Mississippi,
in his message to the Legislature of that State,
delivered after the result of the Pennsylvania'
election was known, speaks of the Constitutional
Amendment as " such an insulting outrage and
" denial of the equal rights of so many of our
" worthiest citizens who have shed lustre and
" glory upon our section and our race, both in I
" the forum and the field, such a gross usurpation
" of the rights of the State, and such a centralize-
" tion of power in the Federal Government, that
" I presume a mere reading of it will cause its re-
" jection by you." A short time before this
message was delivered General WADE HAMPTON
had spoken to the inhabitants of part of South
Carolina in shuilartenns. He acceptedall the results
of the war, especially the abolition of slavery, but
protested against the " Constitutional Amendment."
" Shall we," he said, " submit to the shame
" which would cling to us for ever if we admit
" that we have been guilty of treason ? Shall we
" cover ourselves with eternal infamy by branding
" as traitors the men who died for us, and to
" whose memory you are now paying honour ?
" Never, never, never ! Let any fate, however
" hard, be our lot rather than that such dishonour
" should be ours." The Southern correspondents
of the Northern papers testify to the prevalence
of the same feeling among the people of the South,
and to their determination not to accept the
Constitutional Amendment as it stands. But it is
a very hopeful sign that all these protests fix on
the least essential article in the Amendment.
The repudiation of the rebel debt and the guarantee
of that of the legitimate Government ; the reduc-
tion of the Southern representation to the same
ratio as that of the North, and eveuthe constitutional
endorsement of the civil rights of the freedmen
seem to raise but little antagonism, and there

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

THE BISHOP OF N.

Each of our contemporaries this morning, in
commenting on yesterday's decision in the Rolls Court,
points out that the grounds of the decision are removed
almost equally from the province of technical law and of
technical theology. Only the right to temporalities was
under discussion, and the question was treated solely as a
matter of contract between the parties. Whether or not
Lord Rowilly'e exposition of the law be confirmed on ap-
peal, the Tows thinks it was an ill-advised measure on
the part of the trustees of the fund to refuse Bishop Co-
leus° his salary upon his so-called deprivation by aso-called
Synod, owing no allegiance to any recognised power in
church or state. It was still more questionable, when the
illegality of the sentence had been affirmed by the court of
final appeal, to change the ground of the refusal, and to
allege reasons which, if good at all, were equally good
against Bishop Gray,—namely, to interpret that the de-
cision of the Privy Council which set aside as null and
void the sentence of deprivation pronounced by the Bishop
of Capetown against Dr. Colenso virtually, and construc-
tively at least, if not expressly, nullified the letters patent
themselves which created Dr. Colenso Bishop of Natal, on
the implied ground that they could have no effect in a
colony having an independent legislature of its own. It
is inevitable that his success in resisting a blockade of this
kind should be hailed as a triumph by his friends, while
a different result would probably have failed to dislodge
hint from his see. At the same time, it is highly desirable
that a basis should be laid by judicial interpretations of
the existing laws for a legielative settlement of the
anomalous relation between the British crown, the church
of England, and the episcopal churches of the colonies.
The church of England is essentially an English institu-
tion, and it would perhaps have been well had no attempt
been made by the legislature to extend the Anglican sys-
tem of the mother country to the colonies. If the laity
as well as the clergy of episcopal churches in our colonies
desire complete independence, let it be conceded freely ;
but let ne not give the sanction of a royal patent and of a
solemn consecration by the Primate of All England to
bishops over whom no control can be exercised either by
our civil or by our spiritual courts.
The Daily News observes that the judgment on the
whole is not only an inevitable deduction from the pre-
vious cases, but is useful as illustrating and defining their
results. It confirms the principle of the perfect freedom
of colonial churches, and of the readiness of the state to
secure to them all due observance of the conditions under
which they are instituted. If, in this instance, the charge
had been that the Bishop of Natal had departed front the
standards of the church, it would have been tried, and if

established, he would have been declared no longer
entitled to the salary or status of his office. This is real
freedom, guaranteed and supported by law. An arbitrary
claim to establish a new tribunal to meet a uew case, and
to erect a jurisdiction not contemplated by the founders
of the association, would be tyranny, which, however it
might be favourable to one party at present, might soon be
turned into an instrument for its own destruction.
IThe Post and Telegraph recognise the soundness of the
judgment of the Master of the Rolls—the latter adding,
however, that the time has come when the unsatisfactory
relation between the colonial churches and the Anglican
communion ought to be reviewed.
Under the circumstances the Standard thinks that an
adverse judgment was almost inevitable, and except in the
particular instance by no means undesirable. Some re-
vision of the law is absolutely necessary. At present
there seems only too much reason to apprehend that the
colonial churches will be reduced to a state of despair and
disgust at the condition to which successive decisions have
reduced them.

LATES'

FENCE.

SPAIN AND THE POPE.

The Isulipendauee Beige says :
The situation of the Pope continua to be the object of
much anxiety to Queen Isabella, her eourtien, and the
members of the government—the faithful servants of the
Irian,. of the Camarillo. The .Regcaeracion, the organ of
the Queen's confessor, says that the Queen cannot consent
to the Pope's taking refuge in Malta, that be must come
to Madrid, where he will find a second country. In court
circles Toledo is spoken of as the future residence of his
Holiness, if Madrid does not become the sacred city par
erailence. If an offer of this kind has been officially made
to the Holy Father, Pius IX. and his advisers would do
well to remember that Spain, even more than other
countries, is liable to revolutions ; and that the policy of
repression and clericalism which the Madrid cabinet is at
this moment pursuing may compromise at any moment
the safety of the head of catholiam. On the whole, Pius
IX. would be exposed to less danger in Rome than any-
where else ; and in spite of the more or less ambiguous
declarations contained in the recent allocution and the
intrigues of the ultramontane party, we persist
in the belief that he will continue to
make the Vatican the seat of his spiritual
authority, though his temporal sovereignty should cease
to exist. The perspective of exile may suit those hot-
. headed and cosmopolitan catholic' who direct and write in
• the newspapers ; but the Italian Cardinals, who form the
majority of the Pope's circle, are more sensible, and they
will be little disposed to exchange their palaces either for
hotels in Malta or Peados in Spain.

IMPENDING CHANGES IN ENGLISH THEOLOGY.
Commencing with a reference to Bishop El
li-
cott's attempt to deal with the question of ritualism
the Times proceeds to show that the innovations
which attracted the anger of the anti-tractarions
a generation since are nothing more than are
now to be met with in numbers of churches throughout
the country. The whole cycle of ideas which then formed
the religious character seems to be ignored, and new or
revived doctrines are expressed in terms unheard of by
the church goers of the old times, and with the result of
attr►cting the young, the impulsive, and the tasteful.
In an age of remarkable independence of thought, and at
a time when religious speculation has been busier than in
any period in the modern history of the world, the whole
spiritual policy of the bishops has consisted in keeping
things as they are until the struggle is useless. It is
impossible to be acquainted with what is passing in the
world of letters and in civilised society, both in Europe
and America, without coming to the conclusion that great
changes axe likely to be effected in the thoughts of
Christendom within the present century. Whether for
good or evil, a great revolution is at hand. The catholic
revival is but the reflex current of the stream in which
the main intellect of the world is now flowing.
In the present day we have all the young intelligence and
curiosity of the country exposed to two impulses—tbe
scientific and critical, leading in the direction of inde-
pendent thought in theology as in other things ; and the
emotional, sentimental, and artistic, which finds its grati-
fication in the doctrines, ceremonies, and legends of
the Roman church. Now, neither the intellectual
nor the devotional life of the great body of the clergy
has been guided by those above them. tinder the
influence of the episcopal bench all the studies con-
nected with theology have withered, until English biblical
critics are the scorn of foreign scholars. Whenever we
take up the work of a theologian who is likely to be a dean
or a bishop, we find, not an earnest inquirer setting forth
the results of honest research, but merely an advocate,
who, we can perceive, has begun his work with the fixed
determination of proving black white in favour of his own
traditional system. When the mental pabulum of the
candidate for orders has been for years of this description,
when he is taught to sneer at the very scholars from whom
his own professors have derived at second-hand all their
knowledge, anduhom theyeriticisewith ludicrous airs of su-
periority, is it to be wondered at that, instead of rising to
higher and wider conceptions of Christianity, his mind.
incapable of inaction in the active world around, should
irresistibly return to the dogmas and forms of the old
churches If the chiefs of the church desire to turn the
clergy from Romanist mimicry, it will not be by denuncia-
tions and by commands to stand still in the precise intel-
lectual position of their grandfathers. The pernicious taste
which has been formed during the present generation mny
be changed, and it will be changed whenever the most in-
telligent and large-minded of the clergy receive the support
of the episcopal bench and the influential laity.

THE " ROMAN LEGION."
A letter of the Ist, from a non-commiasioned
officer of the Roman Legion at Viterbo, and pub-
lished by the Opinion Nationale, contains the
following extraordinary narrative :
This morning our flag, which had been promised us ever
since we left Antibes, was given to us. It is yellow and
white, and when the general said, " Swear to serve itwith
fidelity, and cry, altogether,' Long live the Holy Father!"'
only the officers responded. And when they had finished
their cry, " The church for ever ! Long live the Pope !"
all the men of the Legion, and myself with them,
shouted : " France for ever ! Long live the Emperor !"
If you had seen how the Pontifical General looked
. . . he was furious. A sergeant and ten men
then advanced towards him, and said: " General,
we are in Italy to fulfil a different mission from that which
you assign to us. You force us to go to mass under penalty
of imprisonment. That is not the way things are managed
in France. Also, in the name of the whole Roman Legion
(except the officers) we do not wish for your flag. We only
know one, and that belongs to France. Let that be given
to us, and we shall be proud of it, and we will display it
everywhere with delight and confidence ; for it is every-
where loved, and yours is not. General, you shall judge
for yourself that it is preferred to yours." Then he drew a
small tricolour from his pocket and showed it to the men.
Everyone shouted "long live the Emperor ! France for ever !"
It was curious, I assure you ; but no one laughed, for
every one feared that something was going to happen.
In fact, when the general mounted his horse to march at
the head of the legion, he had handed the flag to the
standard-bearer, but he no sooner let it go than some one
fired at it, and the officer who held it was wounded. The
general then said he was going to write to France, to know
what punishment to inflict on us. Then the legion be-
came excited, they all broke their ranks, surrounded the
general, and shouted " Down with the Pope !" It
was considered necessary to establish posts of secu-
rity in the streets. The idea occurred to somebody
of sending the gendarmerie after us; when the men of
the legion saw that they turned against them, and at this
moment-4 o'clock in the afternoon—there are 22 gen-
darmes killed and a great many wounded. Efforts were
made to get the men to their barracks. but they would
not march. I believe it is all over.with the legion; since
we have arrived in Italy 10 or 15 men have deserted every
day. They pass the frontier and give themselves to
Garibaldi (sic.). You may expect to see us again soon, for
as matters stand I do not reckon upon more than three
months before the legion will be dissolved.

THE D_ NUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.
BUCHAREST, Nur. G.

The Russian Consul-General at Bucharest and
his staff were received yesterday by the Hospodar
in solemn audience, and the latter received from
the Russian Consul the announcement of his recog-
