There is a vacancy in the representation of
Clitheroe, through the death of Mr. Fort, the member for
that borough, who was a liberal. As the session is not
expected to last more than a fortnight longer, it is hardly
probable that a writ will be issued. There is, however,
nothing in the practice of parliament to prevent it. In
1867, The O'Donoghue took his seat for Tipperary on the
very day that parliament was prorogued with a view to
its immediate dissolution, and in 1865 Mr. Brassey was
elected for Devonport, and enjoyed the honour of • seat
in the house just • fortnight before it was dissolved.

The bill for the abolition of compulsory church
rates, which is now passing through the House of lords,
promises to settle a question which has witnessed many
parliamentary vicissitudes. Thirteen years ago the
pleasure for total abolition passed its second reading by a
majority of 28, sntl this rose to 43 in 1866, to 63 two
years afterwards, and to 74 in 1859. The new
parliament summoned in that year gave it a
majority of 70, which fell to 29 in 1860;
and to 9 on the third reading. In 1861 there
was • majority of 16 on the seeond reading, but on
the third there was a tie, 274 voting on either side. The
next year there was a majority of one only, while in 1863
the supporters of the bill were in a minority of 10. In the
first session of the present parliament there was a majority
of 33 in favour of the measure, and this was increased In
76 in the second, the highest ever recorded. This decisive
expression of opinion on the part of the House of Com-
mons appears to have cleared the way for the acceptance
by the Lords of the compromise now offered by Mr.
Gladstone.

Tna Romex CATHOLIC BI81101•8 AND THE
Govsnissourr.—Lord Mayo laid hie reply to the recent
letter of the catholic bishops on the table of the House of
Commons on Thursday night. After recapitulating the
facts of the correspondence, and showing how the prelates
objected to what had been stipulated by government as
fundamental principles, and which had also been stipu-
lated by the preceding cabinet, Lord Mayo shows that the
bishops stated that the questions involved affected deeply
the principles of faith and morals, to which the bishops
were bound by religious laws and obligations. The
government could not conceive that the bishops had power
to compromise questions of such a nature, and when the
last communication addressed to the bishops met with
only a curt and formal reply, government naturally con-
cluded that the oorrespooaenee was at an end.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OP A BAPTIST
HiNtitTßE.—At the Newport Petty Sessions on Saturday
William Jenkins, baptist minister, was charged with foto-
niousiatootingat Sarah Green, at Baca, on the 28th ult.
Com ant was a domestic servant in the employ of Cap
taro cobs, of Holly-house, Biwa. On the day named she
was in the garden when prisoner called out to her, and
immediately fired at her. When the polioe searched his
room, they found a six-barrelled revolver, five of the
chambers being loaded with ball, and one discharged, the
empty came of the bullet being found in the discharged
chamber. On the previous Wedneeday the police ens-
=tiOthe prisoner of being of unsound' mind, and sent
the union to be examined by the medical officer of
the union, but ho was discharged. He toldths magistrates
he shot the girl out of humanity. He was committed for
trial at the the assize, bail being refused for his ap-
pearance.
LOSS OF A FISHING BRACE AND Six Lrras.—
Intelligence has been received of a very serious collision
having taken place in the North Sea, by which six lives
were lost. The fishing smack Horatio, of Barldng, in com-
pany with two other smacks, the Comet and Harry, of
the same place, were lying with their nets down fishing
some IS miles from the Texel. It wasjust about break
of day, and a steamer, which afterwards proved to be
the Saxonia, from Hamburg, being observed approaching,
the Horatio burnt • "blaze up." as did the other
vessels. The steamer is, however, stated to have kept her
course towards the mucks. She cleared the first vessel,
the Comet, and it is alleged that she was laded to look
out for the second smack, the Horatio. What Rrecautiool
were taken has not transpired, but the Easo.ua came on
and striking the illfated smack Horatio, it is said went
ever her. The smack immediately sank, and six
of those on board, including the master, Yr. Cole-
brook ,• and his son Arthur the mate; Francis
Chandler a seaman named William Bound, and two
apprentices, Samuel Dickenson and Samuel Aldon, were
drowned. It appears that the master seeing the ap-
proach of a steamer, and that • collision was inevitable,
rushed down to the cabin to save his son,a lad ten years
of age, who was on board for the benefit of the trip
during the holidays, but before he could cetera
the collision occurred, and the vessel went down. The
two survivors, lads, of the crew of the smack were saved
by getting to the boat, which floated clear as the
smack sank. One boy first succeeded in reaching the boat,
and hearing the canes of his companion, who was in
the water, he made for him, and eventually picked him up.
The Saxon* after being in collision with the Horatio,
came in contact, it is reported, with the third smack,
Harry, and she sustained damage. All those who perished
longed to Barking, and it is stated that the master and
mate have left families to lament their sad lose. The
Horatio was a tine smack of more than 60 tons, and left
Barking about a fortnight since on • fishing cruise. The
Harry has returned to the river to repair her damage. .
