NIL GLADSTONE'S LATEST OFFENCE.

Ix the well-known little tale, 1‘ A Trap to
" Catch a Sunbeam," a grumbling cobbler is told
that what he wants for getting out of his troubles is
energy. He puzzles over the meaning of the word,
but, at last, while he is hammering away at a job
with all his strength, a light breaks in upon
his mind. " Why, I s'pose this is what
" they calls ennigy " he exclaims. The
cobbler surprised himself. Mr. GLADSTONE
is surprising the Tories. But what is more, they
are gravely displeased with his " ennigy." It ap-
pears to be a violation of their code of morals.
Many of our readers will remember a caricature in
one of the comic periodicals at an early part of
List session. Mr. DISRAELI was expressed as
standing on a little hillock, and, while rolling up
his sleeves, challenging Mr. GLADSTONE in terms
which were no more than a frank parody of what
had been said in both Houses, upon the extreme
impropriety of free criticism and " bandying
" recriminations." " Now, then," Mr. Gls-
r-ati.t was made to say, " come on
" But mind you, no hitting, and no pushing,
" and no throwing down, and no punching, an I
" we'll have all fair "—or words to that effect.
The stupid party still cherish the same notion of
political warfare, and they are now particularly
angry with Mr. GLADSTONE'S " energy." A
weekly contemporary begins a tearful article by
saying, " The industry and energy of Mr. GLAD-
" STONE.S proceedings in South-west Lancashire
" are extraordinary and excessive." We have no
doubt that llittAn lime thought the industry and
energy of Mr. MICAWBER extraordinary and
excessive when that gentleman hit him on the
head with a ruler. But there is some
comfort for the Liberal party in the assurance thus
obliquely obtained, not only that their leader is a
good way yet from being used up, but that he is
drawing blood where he strikes. And it is to be
Loped that the "extraordinary and excessive"
variety of the charges brought against Mr. GLAD-
sioNE will not tempt Liberal leaders, or Liberal
critics of any grade, into departing from their pre-
sent policy of " industry and energy " in pounding
away at the two places on the other side on which
breaches have been made—fathomless dishonesty
and alarming extravagance.

On Thursday afternoon last, Charles Jenkins, foreman
to a building turn in the City, and Nosily Joakihs. his
wife, for tome time occupying No. 6, Camberwell New-
oad, were indicted for stealing a table-cover, the property
of Anne Roberts, and four yards of carpet, with other
property, belonging to Wary Stuckey.
It apj eland that both the prosecutors occupied neer-
Eldred spotments in We prisoners' house, and for some
tine past they
.had missed ',reports in a very mysterious
we;. 'I he police were communicated with. and Osborne,
:.lb P, went to the house on the 28th of September to
n ale inquiries. Ile then suggested that the part of the
Lowe occupied by the laudlord and his wife should be
examined, and then the property belonging to Mrs.
I.sbuts and Nrs. Stuckey was found concealed in dif-
teici.t places, the carpet between the bed and the mat-

TSB OALII.

PADSTOW, CORNWALL, Ocr.
Last night (says the Rev. Richard Tyacke) a
vessel exhibiting signals of distress was seen on the Doom-
bar Sand. The Albert Edward lifeboat, of the National
Lifeboat Institution, and the rocket apparatus ware
quickly taken to the spot A line was sent on board by
means of a rocket, and with the assistance of the
lifeboat and a shore boat hawsers from the two capstans
on shore were taken to the vessel, and although she
could not be got off the sand, she was prevented from
failing to leeward on it, and ultimately drifted in on the
weather side of the bank. The hawsers parted several
times, but were quickly connected again with the progr
assistance of the lifeboat and the shore boats. The
boat returned to the shore this morning. The vessel
is still on the Dooinbar Sand with her crew
of thirteen men on board. The men can, however,
be taken off at any time if needed. She is the steamer
Augusta, of Bristol, bound from St. Nazaire to Liverpool
with a cargo of wheat and flour. This valuable lifet
was presented to the institution about four years since b
the City of Bristol, and was named the Albert Edward,
after his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Since she
has been on her station she has been instrumental in res-
cuing 24 persons from different shipwrecks.

LESTBUCTII"B GALE AN.D LOSS OF LIFE.

During the high gale on Saturday night the
wall of a Methodist chapel, being built at Bill-quay, near
Newcastle, fell on the top of a dwelling-house, and one
train, his wife, and girl were killed, and an old woman and
others were seriously injured. Another woman had her
leg broken, and a child in the cradle narrowly escaped.
On Saturday afternoon, during the gale, a collision oc-
curred at sea, between Seahain harbour and Sunderland,
between the schooner Oak, of Portsmouth, and the brig-
antine Oliver, of Portsmouth. Both vessels disabled, and
in a sinking state were brought in tow into the Tyne for
repairs.
On Saturday the district of Halifax was visited by a
strong storm of wind and rain, and at Button Brow,
Sowerby Bridge, a house fell, killing a woman and her
infant. The name of the woman was Jane Stark, aged
21 years, and her male infant, John Henry, aged nearly
two Tears, the wife and child of Henry Stark, labourer.
On Saturday afternoon the family had temporarily left
the house, and about 6 o'clock the mother returned with
her child. She bad just unlocked the door, and was about
to enter, when the house end fell upon them. A neigh-
bour gave an alarm, but the mother was quite dead when
reached, and her infant only lived about an hour after.
Both were shockingly crushed. The house has been in a
dilapidated state for some time, but there were no im-
mediate signs of its fall.
A sad affair happened at Chesterfield during the gale.
In Burlington-street, Messrs. Ind, Coops, and Co.,
brewers, have some newly-erected offices, and on the top
was a large sign which was on both sides exposed to the
weather. A furnaceman, named Thomas Willis, and
his wife, were passing these offices on their way
from their home at Whittington to the Cheater-
field market, when the sign gave way and fell
with a large portion of the stone cornice and
brickwork upon them. The screams of the female soon
attracted attention, and, the dAris having been removed,
Willis was found quite dead, his back having been
broken. His wife sustained a severe contusion on the
head, from which it is expected she will recover.
They were both removed to the Chesterfield Hospital,
and the female was in such a critical state that she was
not made aware of the sad loss she had sustained. The
deceased was 33 years of age, and leaves four young
children.

AO RIM LTIT RALMALL.

In addition to the miscellaneous seeTitisms, six
of the pi omissd oratorio performances have taken Oars
heir—the Lrsaiah three times followed by llassais
Jtaboi ilahr and Ilaydu's Creqion. Thu latter
work was given last week with an appearance of baits
and impel Eta an angements that, if repeatol, mast
seriously injure the piospists of these orAtorlo perfor-
mances at Islington. Such music miens's, its so vast a
sq ace as that of the Agricultural-hall, a proportionate
mullipliation of executants ; whereas on the occasion re-
fer; est to the oratorio was commeneud, after a cansiderable
delay, with an orchestra of the most meagre and inade-
quate proportions. Moreover, the promenade element is
incompatible with that reverent composure which is the
only proper condition for the hearing of religious
music. It is but just to my that the prames
nade portion of the Islington audience was remark-
ably attentive and quiescent; bat such large num-
bers, however well disposed, must be productive more
or lees of disturbing noise unless placed in tined positions.
A promenade audience is suitable enough for dance music
and military bands, but the highest order of compoUtions
should be beard under very different surroundings.

Tllli 111CCI STSIIOI.

Remelting upon the increased activity of anti-truck
association(, the Daily News observes that the objections
to the system are rather to it as a whole than to individual
examples of it. But the immense liability of the system
to abuse, and the temptatioas it offers to such abuse,
make it contrary to public policy. The tremendous hold
it given to the employers over the employed is such a+ no
one let of men can safely have over another. It lowers
wages by rendering the workman unable to seek a
letter market for hi+ labour, and heightens prices
1•y cleating a monopoly in the supply. It keeps the
people in perpetual leading stringy, pies-outs them from
saving, renders thrift and foresight needless, and reduce,
the whole population which becomes subject to it to the
'coition of • dependent class. Now the law guarantee+
the winking classes the receipt of their wages in coin in
order that they may retain complete centrol over the ex-
yeuditure of their cat nings, and it is in every way
da-
shable that to just and beneficent a law should be every-
where enforced.

EARTRQU4KE IN IRELAND.

A telegram from Cork informs us that on Satur-
day severe shocks of earthquake, followed by a loud
rumbling noise, were felt at two places near Mallow, in
Cork county. It is stated that houses were much shaken,
furniture was broken, and the occupants of the houses
were greatly terrified. At the time the shocks wore felt
it was blowing a hurricane. A despatch dated Sunday
states that, although the effects of the extraordinary
phenomenon were not felt in the immediate vicinity of
Cork, the alarm created by the intelligence which reached
that city on Saturday afternoon has been intense. The
first shock was felt at a place called Newtown, within a
few miles of Mallow. Some gentlemen who were hunt-
ing near the place at the time have confirmed the report.
They state that the shock was followed by aloud rumbling
noise and an oscillation of the earth. In other places
between Mallow and Kanturk, a distinct shock of earth-
quake was also felt. Rouses were shaken from their
foundations, and in some instances the furniture was
thrown down and broken. The shock pared from north
to south. Reports from other quarters confirm the above
particulars.

THE EMPEROR BEFORE MENTANd.

THE Emperor of the Faxxcn is often accused, by
his friends and by his adversaries alike, of irresolu-
tion ; and we have seen a letter, written by a
personal friend of his, which applied to him
the oelebratod definition, " Cat un roteau taint
en ff." Unfortunately this habitual irresolution
on the part of so powerful a personage is the cause
of what the Governor of the Bank of France has
called that " nightmare of uncertainty" which
weighs upon every money market in Europe. But
it is only fair to give the EMPEROR credit when
we can for a fit of irresolution on the liberal
side. It has never yet to our knowledge
been mentioned that two hours before the
battle of Mentana Louis NaroDxox tele-
graphed counter orders to General DE FAILLY.
These counter orders were not obeyed ; probably
because the French General shrank from exposing
to his troops the irresolution of his Sovereign,
and withdrawing them from the scene of action
at the last moment ; and, moreover, ►ecause he
was anxious to teat the quality of his Chaesepots.
Still the fact, if it be a fact, remains to the credit
of the Euriaoit's second thoughts. We state it
under all reserve, and without vouching for more
than the perfect credibility of the person on
whose authority we record it for what it is worth.
Our informant is neither a French malcontent nor
an Italian revolutionist ; but a sincere and devoted
catholic and an ardent champion of the Temporal
Power, who wee present among the combatants
on the Porn's side at the battle of Sfesitaina.

THE POLICE COURTS.

Mr. W.:44M krlmager, the owner and occupier of a

The oomplainantstated that he resided at 24, Bcarsiale-
villas. (in his return from the sea side he was taken
and it was attributed to the nuisance of which he now
eemplained. Re applied to the Kensington vestry in the
first instance, and was told that they had lately met and
would not meet again for another fortnight, and then
another week would be required before • summons could
be served. The inspector of nuisance went to the
place, and reported that though he saw • quantity
of dung he could not detect any moll. Witness
then went to the vestry, aad told them that their
officer was uselem, as he was deficient of smell,
lie the wit no.) belonged to the Court of
Queen's Bench, and was well ap in the ads of parliament,
and he found that he could proceed against the ilofouslaot
without the assistance of the vestry. lie was then sworn
and stated that his garden adjoined land in the occupa-
tion of the defendant. The nuisance consisted of • heap
of manure avid a cesspool, or reeeptacle for liquid manure,
for a number of sows. The land was used as • nursery.

PREACHERS AND SERMONS.

Ix the " Form and Manner of Ordering of Priests,"
the candidate, after hearing an address which ex-
hibits in strong language the dignity and awful-
ness of a priest's charge, declares to the Bishop
that he " thinks in his heart he is truly called to
" the office according to the will of our Lord
" Jesus Christ." Vast numbers of churchmen,
probably the majority, read these words, with the
words of the Bishop's charge, in the very highest
sense that can be affixed to them—as implying, in
fact, that the man who undertakes the
office of a priest has, by the hypothe-
sii of the Church of England, been spe-
cildly moved by the Divine Spirit to under-
take a work directly bearing upon the salvation
of souls. In one of the letters that the discussion
upon the incomes of dissenting ministers has
called forth, we happen to get at this very moment
the same idea :

Get rid (lays the writer of this letter) of the superstition
LAM still ►ingers round the Christian ministry as a church
order. Substitute for that superstition the ennobling
belief that the Spirit of GOD makes His own selection of the
men who shall Bane Him, and that Christian men, in
proportion to their Christianity, are able to recognise the
Divine seal, and know whom don has chosen as bishops of
souls.

Here we have plainly put, and it is nothing
new, the old-fashioned notion that a religious
preacher is, by the hypothesis, a supernaturally
qualified man, commissioned by Got) himself to
do a supernatural work, while those to
whom he is sent are supernaturally en-
abled to teat his fitness. The work he has to do
divides itself, in this idea, into two branches ; he
has to convert sinners, and to edify the con-
verted. Now it is noticeable, we say, that this
idea has so very rarely turned up in the numerous
recent criticisms of sermons, including in par-
ticular 801110 of the best in the Pull Mall Gazette
and other able contemporaries. The preacher has
been pretty regularly treated in these criticisms
as a lecturer whose authority is only incidental and
whose function is nothing in partici der. The theory
is that he stands up there in the pulpit, divinely
qualified, and most solemnly pledged, to speak of
things which have Hell at one side and 'leaven at
the other ; and 10, he is snubbed as if he were a

A CONTRAer

There is a village called rewsham, within the
limits of the borough of Chippenhain, which is partly held
on lease by the Marquis of Lansdowne, and partly belongs
to bislordahip. The tenants here have been in some diffi-
culty of late, not from any apprehension of their land-
lord's interfereitoo with their votes, but in consequence of
the decided part taken by his lordship's agent in the sup-
port of the conservative candidate. The agent, especially
where the landlord is a good one, is often mom formidable
than he. All fears, however, have been completely set at
rest by the circulation of the following letter :
" A report having reached Lord Lansdowne that he
was believed by some of his tenantry to be desirous
of influencing their votes at the coming election of a
member of parliament for Chippenham, he takes this op-
pionzrtwu.:3 of informing all Mader* on whom he may be
su to have any influence, that far from having this
, he is anxious to avoid exerting any such influence
over them, and truant that in their choice of a candidate
they will be guided by their own judgment alone.—
August 26, 1865."
Now for the contrast. A part of the village is, as said
above, only rented by Lord Lansdowne, and may pass
over at Michaelmas into other hands. The agent for the
reversioner is canvassing for the conservatives. On the
flame day that this letter reached the tenants from their
present liberal landlord the agent for their future landlord
celled to canvass, and presented the option—" Vote for
us. How would you like to bo turned out of your house ?"

freely. 'Viscount was healthy, at no more than 9 to 2
(offered) and 6to 1 (taken). King Alfred again improved,
6to 1 being taken about him to • great deal of money.

TILE SUSPECTED MURDER OF A POLICEMAY.
This morning an inquest was held by Mr. John
Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, at the Bull Tavern, St.
Luke's. respecting the death of Police-constable Cloy, aged
32 years, who died a short timeagounderratherstrangemr-
enmstances. It was clear from the evidence do-
ceased was a drinking min, and was under the iutiueuce of
liquor shortly before his sudden death, which many persons
thought arose from falls. On the other hand, the de-
ceased himself stated to a police-sergeant that he had
been assaulted.

Dr. John F. Rogers deposed that last Saturday morning
he was sent for and found the deceased suffering from
ffuFion on the brain and partially insensible, his left arm
being twitched. On Sunday he became sensible, and said,
one has assaulted me; I was taken with a
Fiddiness in my head and I fell backwards."
Ile post mortem examination proved that the skull
was tiactinect for six inches. The liver was enlarged by
drink. Death might have arisen from natural causes;
but after the evidence be thought it was caused by
injuries.
The inquiry was adjourned.

TROIL•B • BROXIIIT.

In an article treating of an address delivered by Arch-
bishop Manning on 'Wednesday last, and of a sermon
delivered by Mons. Talbot on Sunday on the subject of
St. Thomae a Becket and the restoration of the church of
Bt. Thomas-o'-the-English in Rome, the Times says that
what Dr. Manning means by liberty of the church simply
means slavery of the laity. What he claims for himself
in this country, what he describes as the law of the laud
before and after Thomas a Becket, is what has never bean
granted in any of the catholic countries, without at least the
restrictions stipulated even in the moat servile concordats.
The same as to the inviolability of church property. Mon-
signor Talbot tells us that what the Norman kings wanted
was "to rob the poor," and Thomas a Becket was " the
champion of the rights of the poor." The property of
priests and monks, a small portion of which went to foster
beggary, to corrupt and degrade the lower climes, was
confiscated, and that was all. Its very remarkable that
ono clergyman after another should be expreesing the
same opinion. and that the belief should be strongest in
men of the greatest insight.
The Standard thinks Mr. Gladstone, and all who follow
him, are playing with a recklessness that makes thought-
ful men shiver and quake into the hands of Monsignor
Talbot, the mouthpiece of Rome. By " the only city in
the world in which religion is predominant," Monsignor
Talbot means the only city in which liberty, progress.
literature. science, manliness, and virtue itself. are subor-
dinated to a di...petit hierarchy.

THE NO-POPERY CRT.

The J)nily Nests remarks that Mr. Coleridge is
doing a public service in exploding ono after an.
other the hollow and desperate cries by which in their
extremity tory candidates and tory electioneering agents
are attempting to delude the more remote and agricultural
constituencies. In his address some weeks ago he effec-
tually exposed the unmeaning cry of the " church in
danger," and in his address this week he does the same
with regard to the " no Popery " cry which, in the irony
of fate, is now raised by the political party which, a few
months since, seriously proposed to carry out in Ireland
the policy of levelling up by giving the Roman Catholics
peculiar privileges, and establishing a Roman Catholic
university at the expense of the state.

" and conducted almost exclusively by wick-
" men. Nearly all of them—and tliegi eidain
several hundred thousand spindlem--itire wefked
" without loss, and in many instanelps with a nn?de-
" rate profit, since the commencement of the civil
" war in the United States, a period which has tried
" so severely the resources of many of our most
" wealthy and experienced cotton spinners." This
testimony is all the more striking as being that of
a manufacturing capitalist, and it almost en-
courages the hope that we have found in oo-
operation conditions of industry which must be
satisfactory to the workman, and the prevalence of
which will restrain the idleness and demoralization
of strikes. While thousands upon thousands of
our skilled operatives are working to their own ad-
vantage and the satisfaction of their employers
in our great manufactures, it cannot be contended
that the old relations of free labour and capital
have become obsolete ; but it is well, both socially
and economically, that our industry should rent
upon organizations of various type ; and where, as
in some trades, an incurable distrust of em-
ployers seems to have taken possession of the
minds of workmen, co-operation in one or other of
its modifications is perhaps the only form of asso-
ciation in which we can be sure that labour of
certain kinds will be constantly available to the
community.

Proved at once s puzzle and s source of alarm in

last night a private powder magazine in the Lough-

blasting powder, estimated at ten cwt., was ab-
stracted by the burglars. The Lough-road is at
the verge of the southern suburb of the city. The
locality is thinly inhabited, and by persons of the
poorest class. The open country is quite close to
the magazine ; but at the side next the city there
are rows of houses very near the building, and the

DESTRUCTIVE TIRES LAST YIGRT.

Late last night a serious fire was discovered to
have broken out in • warehouse situate in Tower 5e3-al,
Watling-street, City, in the occupation of Messrs. A. Levy,
and Co., auctioneers, &c., and the upper floors by Messrs.
PhiHinson and Co., perfumers. On the alarm being raised
the Brigade engines and firemen attached to the chief
station in Watling-street, together with the London
Salvage Corps, at once turned out in force, and by their
timely arrival the surrounding valuable property was
saved. The fire was confined to the building in which it
commenced, severely damaging the first, second, and third
floors, the remainder of the premises being likewise in-
jured. The occupiers were said to be amply
covered by insurances in the Alliance and Sun
fire offices. The houses on the opposite side of
Tower Royal, No. 1, Mr. G. D. Roll, leather factory, and
No. 2. Mr. Benulein, French fancy warehouse, had their
fronts scorched and glass broken. About the same hour
another fire occurred in School-house-lane, Ratcliffe. the
Black Swan public-house, occupied by Mr. J. Humphries,
which severely damage(' the front room on the second
floor, together with the contents. At ebout half-
past 2 this morning a fire broke out in Crown-
street, Soho, at the Ning's Head public-house, tenant,'
by Mr. John Dunbar, ktfwhich about two feet of
beam and flooring and joie was burned, and stock in
bar slightly damaged; mom in the Phomix Fire-office.
A fire also took place at the toy warehouse of Mr. A.
Penny, No. 78, Holloway-road, gained by a spark frem
fire, which burned some wearing apparel and damaged the
contents of front room first floor ; insured in the General
Fire-office.
