THE LAST OF A CITY CHURCH.

The Church of All Hallows, after five centuries
and a half of ecclesiastical life, went out of existence
on Tuesday afternoon. The building is situated be-
tween 7 and 9, Mincing-lane. Warehouses, counting-
houses, and shops have hemmed it in on every side,
and you have to pursue your way down a narrow
court, which apparently leads nowhere, before the
church can be seen. For years past its
congregations have been limited to a dozen,
and on the death of its last rector, an
eminent antiquarian, it was determined not to fill up
his place. The pastoral letter of the Bishop of
London announced that the parish of Allhallows
Staining would be henceforth united with that of
St. Olave, Hart-street, and that the building would
be pulled down. The last service was held on Tuesday,
when the officiating clergyman gave an address to a
larger congregation than had assembled there for
years past. The church has now passed into the
ownership of the clothworkers, who have promised
to keep its site an open space.

A THIEVES' TEA PARTY

Ned Wright, the converted burglar, has visited
Manchester, and attended a thieves' tea party.
There were about 120 men and women present pro-
fessing to be convicted thieves, at least twenty
who had accepted tickets having gone to Chester
Races in pursuit of questionable objects. The suc-
cess of the meetings in London has been attributed to
the admission being rigorously restricted to thieves, a
plan departed from on the present occasion. The
effect of this was that, to use Ned Wright's own
words, "the meeting was too respectable to hope for
much good." Ned Wright delivered a practical
address, and at once suppressed by his earnest
manner several attempts which were at first made
by some of the elder thieves to laugh him out of
countenance. It is intended to establish a thieves
home at Manchester on the plan adopted by Ned
Wright in London,

MURDER AT CHELSEA.

Information has just been received that a horrible
murder has been committed at a house in Poulton's-
square, King's-road, Chelsea. The murderer is re-
ported to be a man about 40 years of age, and his
victim a woman much younger than himself. The
murderer is in custody, When apprehended he was
taken to the Chelsea police-station, where he now
remains. Since his apprehension he has not spoken
a word, and the medical men who have seen him are
of opinion that he is feigning illness.

ROYAL LITERARY FUND.

The anniversary of the Royal Literary Fund Was
celebrated at Willis's Rooms last night. Lord
Dufferin presided, Amongst the guests were the
Nawab Nazim of Bengal, Prince Ali Bahadoor, Prince
Sulirnan Bahadoor, his Excellency the Italian Minis-
ter, the Earl of Sheffield, and Lord Broughton.

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " Prosperity to the
Royal Literary Fund," said " if literature had ceased
to be the property of the literati it followed that
the status of the literary man, and the consideration
due to the whole of the class of which he constituted
an integral portion, was increased in proportion
as his power had been increased. (Hear, hear.)
And here it was that the value of an institution of
this kind became specially apparent. The Literary
Fund hai been started by the efforts of a very few
individuals, but it had now expanded into one of the
most liberally supported corporations in the king-
dom." It was reported that 57 grants had been
made in the year, involving an expenditure of about
£2,500. Subscriptions amounting to £950 were
announced.

giving larger powers to some of the ordinary tribunals ;"
and whether the Government proposed to take action
thereon.

Mr. GLADSTONE said the passage referred to occurred in
the appendix. It was a general suggestion only, but he
might say the subject was under consideratioh, and when
the Government arrived at a conclusion they would be
prepared to announce it.

THE RIOTS IN PARIS.
PARIS, May 11.
A barricade was constructed of paving-stones
yesterday evening in the Rue Moret, and the de-
fenders twice repulsed the police. Twelve persons
were arrested with arms in their hands.

The barricade in the Rue Courselle was carried by
the Gardes de Paris at the point of the bayonet,
when • five of the rioters were seriously
wounded. Three of the Gardes de Paris were also
wounded, and one police agent was killed. At five
a.m. the whole quarter of the Faubourg du Temple
between the Canal and the exterior Boulevard was
surrounded by the troops. Several of the houses
were searched, and any individual found armed was
arrested. The soldiers are irritated against the
rioters.

The Gaulois states that disturbances took place at
Havre on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
PARIS, May 11, 9.15 a.m.
The disturbances last night were more serious
than was at the time supposed. There was one large
barricade in the Faubourg du Temple. The soldiers
did not fire, but there were several casualties from
sword and bayonet wounds. One officer was
wounded by a shot from a revolver.
There was also some rioting yesterday at Havre.
7.30 p.m.

A few groups of people have congrega•ed this

THE INFALLIBILITY OF LAW.

A case strikingly illustrative of the vicissitudes of
men who embroil themselves in the meshes of the
law, is described by "A Barrister" in the columns of
a contemporary. He says : " Three years ago I was
counsel for the plaintiff in an action for false im-
prisonment brought by a poor man against a rich
man, a magistrate and a barrister. The plaintiff had
a verdict for £lOO. The defendant moved for a new
trial; rule refused. He appealed to the Exchequer
Chamber; judgment for the plaintiff. The defenciani
then took the case to the House of Lords, and on
Monday last the decisions of the Exchequer. Chamber,
the Court of Exchequer, and the Lord Chief Baron,
who tried the cause, were overruled by the LOrd
Chancellor, two ex-Chancellors, and a Scotch judge.
The costs are enormous." The writer justly adds,
"the question arises, How would it have been had the
defendant been a poor man ?" He would, undoubtedly,
have had to rest satisfied with the first verdict given
against him.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

THE COMMISSIONER OF WORKS AND MR. BARRY
On Friday evening the ex-Chief Commissioner
of Works will probably ask the House of
Commons to censure the apparently unjust
treatment which Mr. Barry, the late architect
of the Houses of Parliament, has received at the
hands of the present Commissioner, Mr.Ayrton. In 1840
the Houses of Parliament at Westminster were built
under the superintendence of Sir Charles Barry, who
continued as Architect of the Buildings until 1860,
when his son was appointed to the office. Mr. Barry
was still the architect until the 23rd of last
January, when he was suddenly asked to
relinquish his post, and to hand over his
father's drawings (which he himself regarded
as a sacred trust) and his own to the officers of the
Department of Works. Mr. Barry's letters to Mr.
Ayrton since he received the latter's direction to cease
as architect have been marked by a courtesy and defe-
rence, which appear to have been lost on the Commis-
sioner, who strenuously adhered to his determination
to have Mr. Barry's drawings taken out of his pos-
session, intimating that he would not ‘f enter into
any question respecting Mr, Barry's future employ-
ment until he had complied with the requisition to
give up all the plans" relating to the Houses of
Parliament." To one important letter of Mr. Barry's
the member for the Tower Hamlets vouchsafed

no reply, and finally the latter threatened legal
proceedings if the plans were not unconditional!)
surrendered. The whole matter has created no small
indignation among Mr. Barry's numerous friends,
and the Council of the Royal Institution of British
Architects have so far sympathised with him in the
matter as to pass a resolution declaring
that by use and custom all the papers
of an architect remain his sole pro-
perty. Of course Mr. Ayrton's reasons for the
steps he has taken as yet are not known, and there-
fore the question must be left unjudged, but it is the
general impression that Mr. Barry's maintenance in
the position, the duties of which are now
in the hands of Captain Galion, would have
considerably served the public interest. It is also
considered that whether right or wrong in his resolu-
tion, Mr. Ayrton has been very severe upon a gentle-
man whose services have been of an efficient and
satisfactory character for a period of ten years. Mr.
Ayrton's vindication of his conduct is awaited with
deep interest by the public, and by a large number of
Mr. Barry's colleagues in his profession.

THE CHURCH IN WALES.

The motion relative to the disestablishment of the
Church in Wales is expected to come on on the
Nth instant. It is only a motion on a private
members' night, and nobody . in parliamen-
tary circles imagines that it will cause the
slightest embarrassment to Mr. Gladstone or the Go-
vernment. The object of Mr. Watltin Williams the
mover is only, it is understood, to ventilate the
question.

THE CHILD'S BEST GIFT.

THE TOY ALPHABET, beautifully printed on
tinted Cards in Case, complete; forming a most amusing
and in btructi ye present for Children. The elegant style in which
the illustrations to each letter are got up—each with a pleasing
and simple rhyme—and the strikingly apparent usefulness and
novelty of the plan, which is so elegantly carried out, have pro
duced the most unqualified encomiums from some of the most
influential organs of public opinion, a few of which are appended.
Parents and others desirous of pleasing their children, and
at the same time helping them to take the first step to
learning, cannot do better than purchase a Set of these Alpha-
bets, which are produ"ed in Six varieties, at One Shilling
pet"' Set.
" "lIIE TOY ALPHABET' supplies an easy and entertaining mode
of teaching little ones their letters, and serves as a plaything at
the same time that it takes the place of a lesson book. All aunts
and uncles, as well ss parents, should not fail to get a sight of the
Toy Alphabet, for it is sure to he the delight of every nursery into
which it may find its way.' —The Christian World.

"The eye is riveted and the memory irresistibly impressed. The
scheme has met with great success, and any loving parent, having
a use for such a welcome teacher in the family, cannot complain
when the entire cost of the packet is only One Shilling."—The
Primitive Methodist Advocate.

nality of the cards, which are produced in several distinct sets,
cannot fail to make them popular."—The Methodist Recorder,

THE NORWICH ELECTION INQUIRY.

Mr. Tillett has energetically begun a canvas at
Norwich by addressing the Liberal electors, and ex-
plaining to them the appointment of the late com-
mission and the disclosures before it. He was b 0 far
successful that the " bold and uncompromising
manner in which he fought the battle of the
people at the last election, and subsequently exposed
the nefarious means by which he was defeated"
formed the theme of a resolution passed unanimously
in his favour. When the meeting terminated, a mob
began stone throwing and a disorderly scene
at one time appeared imminent. The disturbances,
however, did not result in any way seriously.

CLERICAL OPINION ON EDUCATION,

Archdeacon Freeman, speaking on the subject of educa-
tion in his visitation charge at Exeter, on Tuesday, said
the poverty of the poor was the reason, to a great extent,
why their children were'not found in schools as often as
they should be ; therefore no bill would be of real service
which did not take into consideration this great social
difficulty. The question now raised, as far as the
Church was concerned, was whether they could with a safe
conscience, accept the terms offered in Mr. .Forster's
bill. The clergy hitherto had found no difficulty in de-
ciding as to the degree and manner in which they should
impart religious instruction to those who were not children
of the Church. But with regard to the conscience clause
it was plain that there were consciences on both sides to
be considered—the conscience of the teacher, the clergy-
man as well as that of the parent ; and there was anotheras-
pect of the question. If it were said by the parents, " You
must forbear during the whole time of instruction from all
manner of Christian talk and teaching; you must not breathe
religious thought, much less generate a Christian-like or a
Church-like atmosphere in your room," he (Archdeacon.
Freeman) should reply, " You are asking too much ; you
are asking me to forego the varied advantages for the sake
of which alone I ever turned secular teacher at all—it is
not worth my while, spiritually speaking, to be a secular
teacher at such a sacrifice."

AATEST INTELLIGENCE

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
THE GERMANS IN LIVERPOOL.

An enthusiastic meeting of German residents was
held yesterday in Liverpool, to take into consideration
their duty in the present crisis. The first resolution set
forth that in the face of the unprovoked declaration of
war by France against Prussia and against Germany it
was the duty of the Germans to do all iu their power in
_ _ _ _

aid of Fatherland. The meeting was influentially at-
tended, and an address is to be sent to the Chancellor
of the North German Confederation. A subscription
fund was also inaugurated for patriotic purposes, and the
relief of the wounded. Mr. Burchardt, Consul of the
North 'German Confederation at Liverpool, has cau-
tioned German vessels, many of which are loading with
valuable cargoes. against sailing.

[IADVERTISEMENT. I—Holloway's Ointment and Pill.—
Pa pitation, pains in the side, weezing, or tightness of the
chest portends coming mischief. The sufferers at this
season from coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, and dis-
ordered action of the heart are earnestly recommended to
rub Holloway's searching Ointment well over the back
and chest twice a day. Invalids may confidently rely
upon the beneficial effects resulting from this treatment,
which involves no danger, and very little expense. For-
tunately neither Ointment nor Pills can possibly prove
injurious. They soon relieve all urgent symptoms, ulti-
mately eradicate the complaint, and remove all causes for
its recurrence. In early life more particularly all depar-
tures from health demand immediate attention.

CRUELTY IN CUBA.

Spain may be as chivalrous and plucky as the Spanish
journals of Habana declare it to be ; but it cannot with
impunity disregard the protests of the civilised world
against the horrible cruelties which have disgraced the
couduct of hostilities in Cuba. We have no doubt that
the Cuban insurgents have disgraced themselves
and humanity by barbarities and outrages as
flagrant as those for which Spaniards are account-
able ; but that does not alter the case as between
Spain and the public opinion of the United States or of
Europe. There is another fact, too, of which the Habana
journalists may rest assured. This country will not be a
passive spectator of injustice and cruelty even in Cuba,
when American citizens are the victims. We have no in-
clination at present to meddle in Cuban affairs ; but this
country will tolerate no further the merciless and unjust
exercise of Spanish authority at the expense of Ameri-
cans.—New York Times.

FALSE REPORTS ABOUT THE WAR.

Exaggerated as are some of the rumours which
have come to England since the commencement of
the Franco-Prussian difficulty, they would seem to
be tame and unimportant compared with some of
those which, apparently from trustworthy sources
too, have been circulated in Paris itself. On Satur-
day evening the city was thrown into the wildest
state of excitement by a report hawked about on
the boulevards with the authorisation of the police
to the effect that three thousand Prussians and two
thousand French had been killed near Forbach. It
was believed that this was a strategem to arouse
patriotism, but it may be - questioned whether
patriotism which has to be kindled by
such means will be found of any value
in a time of need, or whether the ardour
and loyalty of les citoyens will not diminish to a more
shameful extent than ever when they find such an-
nouncements unsubstantiated and untrue. A second
alarming piece of news, the account of the first battle
on the Rhine, in fact, was given in the Pabltc. The
battle was, of course, declared to have been won by
the French side, but when it was discovered that no
conflict had taken place, and that this was a canard
of M. Rouher's journal, the President of the
Senate was abused by the people to no small
extent. M. About, who is acting at Pont de
Kehl, as war correspondent of the Soir, has also appa-
rently lent himself to the propagation of exceedingly
harmful and absurd rumours. He wrote to confirm
the statement that both the bridge of boats and the
railway bridge had been cut away on the Prussian
side of the Rhine. He even affirmed that he saw a
railway train, with the chimney of the engine
yet smoking, stopped in the middle of
the journey, and his descriptive powers are
called into use in recounting the terrible
straits a number of poor Germans, who
had come to Strasbourg upon ordinary busi-
ness, were in, when they found they could not
get home by rail. Of this story, and also of
an equally strange one in the Figaro to the effect
that eight Prussian officers, disguised as monks, had
been arrested at Metz, no corroboration has been
received by other journals in Paris.

THE CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR OF THE NAVY.

Considerable interest has been excited by the
recent changes at the Admiralty, and although what-
ever Ministry holds office, England will doubtless
keep aloof as long as possible from the great conti-
nental struggle, the political situation is serious
enough to make the matter a question of national
importance. The history of Mr. Reed's resignation,
as told by Mr. Childers on his reappearance in the
House of Commons, is sufficiently curious. Mr.
Reed, it appears, a short time since received
from Sir Joseph Whitworth a highly advantageous
offer, and in consequence resigned his office. This
is a slightly different version of the story from that
which was current at the time connecting Mr. Reed's
retirement with the withdrawal of Admiral Robin-
son. However this may be, it appears that Mr.

THE EDUCATION QUESTION.

There is probably at this moment no contest more
widely diffused than that between the advocates of secular
education and those who favour the introduction of cer-
tain religious standards into the public schools.
The discussion of the question " drags its slow length
along " in the English Parliament, without any
reasonable prospect of an early settlement. M.
Guizot has made, on behalf of the Protestants,
of France, a rather inconclusive attempt to free the higher
culture from ecclesiastical control, and the geneaal ques-
tion is one that divides with Centralism and Federalism
public attention in Austria. In Belgium the Liberals
only bide their time to open the crusade; in Italy there
are signs of its early agitation ; and only the political dis-
memberment of Spain prevents an advance being made on
this subject parallel to the liberal line laid down by the
Constitution. —New York Times.

A TROUBLESOME REPRESENTATIVE.

The American papers of the 4th record an awk-
• ward incident which occurred at the port of Tumbez,
in the north of Peru. The Consul of the United
States at Tumbez meeting the Peruvian mail agent
on board the steamer that had just arrived, desired
that the correspondence addressed to his consulate
should be delivered there at once, without waiting
for the usual formalities of the Post-office agents.
The mail agent did not consider him-
self empowered to do this, and told
the consul, whose name was Timoney,
that he could not comply. Mr. Timoney, taking the
refusal as an insult, struck the agent in the face.
The Peruvian Government took up the affair, and
addressed a note to the United States Legation in
Lima, stating that Mr. Timoney's exequatur was
withdrawn, and that criminal proceedings had been
instituted by the agent. The American Minister
replied that he deplored the circumstance, but that
the Peruvian Government had acted with perfect
justice. The New York papers, while regretting the
event, declare that the American representatives at
Tumbez have been generally unfortunate.

THE FRENCH ARMY.

Some doubt is felt as to the probable French
commander-in-chief. Napoleon 111. will, it is
thought, himself undertake the chief command of
the French army nominally, but Marshal M'Mahon
will be the virtual commander-in-chief. No battle
of importance is expected to take place before the
beginning of the week. The special cor-
respondent of the Daily News, who writes
en route for Prussia, through Belgium, thinks
it probable the French may have the advan-
tage at first. The long preparations of the French
Emperor have made him, he says, for the moment
the master of the situation. But it must be remem-
bered, on the other hand, that King William and
Count Bismarck have certainly not been remiss in
their military preparations. Four years ago the
effects of the needle-gun at Sadowa startled Europe
into the conviction that Prussia had been arming
whilst the rest of the world had been talking of
disarmament ; and there is little reason to suppose
that the movement of the French has now taken her
by surprise.
London, England, 1870-07-20

THE SUNNY RHINELAND.

There is one paper in London whose leading writers
occasionally rash into ecstasies in their description of
certain romantic places.,
,The sunny fertile valley of
the Rhine at the present critical period has afforded to
this journal a subject for the display of poetical effusion
and very brilliant pieces of descriptive language
which was not to be allowed to pass away heedlessly.',A
lament is accordingly made by the Daily Telegraph
over all the cruel wars that have been fought upon
the edges of this water frontier The waves of the
stream that passes by a " land of terraced vineyards,
the holiday ground of the nations," wander " through
territories of wine and corn," and yet it is upon its
borders that the theatre of many cruel conflicts
has been laid
," from the days of Erminius and
Drusus down to our own." The writer of this
magniloquent article, in his enthusiasm, asserts that
if all the blood which has been shed on account of
the Rhine in past ages, could be poured into the
channel, it would well-nigh suffice to tinge the
German river with crimson from Schaffhausen to
Guelderland. Becoming rapturous, he says,
" The Creator gave mankind the beautiful rivers of
earth to water the land and turn the mills, to bear the
gliding barks, to feed the Wells and gardens of cities and
villages; but our blind and foolish race stains their
sweet course with gore, and has made of every prin-
cipal water-course in the world a subject of conten-
tion. Upon the glorious Rhine, the bright waves
are become once more the glittering prize of war.
Paris has raised the :mad shout, "Au Rhin ;" and
Berlin answers in the name of Germany, with that
cry, which springs, as it were, rather than goes, to
music, "Am Rhein ! Am Rhein ! " This is all very
pleasant reading, and to those who have had the
happy fortune to sail up the Rhine, passing by its
flourishing valleys, under the beetling brows of the
antique castles, and along its banks, the revived
picture must be especially attractive. It is very
seldom, however, that men have that store
of geograpical and historical knowledge of all
charming districts in the world so at :their fingers'
ends and a due quantity of romantic lore and the
power to draw pathetic imagery, joined with a
spirit of poetry, so closeted in the storehouses of
their brains that they can, within a few hours'
notice, recall a scene and a history with such minute-
ness and skill as some gifted writers of the Daily
Telegraph are capable of doing.
