CONFERENCE ON THE EDUCATION
QUESTION.

The Bishop of Exeter presided on Saturday at a large
conference, at Plymouth, of teachers of elementary
schools throughout Devon and Cornwall. The Bishop, in
his introductory address, said that the result
of such deliberations would have much more effect
if they considered and pointed out what modifications of
the views they individually held could be intro-
duced without seriously demaging their work, but
which might tend to reach the objections and
scruples of others. Resolutions were unanimously passed,
declaring that in the long experience of those present no
difficulty has arisen, althoueh having in their schools
children of parents of many forms of belief ; that Bible
teaching ought to occupy three hours weekly, and that
the teacher ought, as at present, to frame his own time-
table. A resolution generally approving the Government
bill and a conscience clause were carried unanimously.
To a resolution urging the denominational system an
amendment was moved, approving of Mr. Cowper Temple's
amendment, as adopted by the Government. But this was
lost, as there was appended to it a declaration that the deno-
minational system failed to meet the requirements of the
nation. The Bishop of Exeter, in concluding the pro-
ceedings, enlarged on the importance of the conference,
and on the weight which should attach to the opinions of
such a body of teachers. His lordship was certain that
the differences displayed were rather in forms of expres-
sion than in substance, and that what they were all
anxious for was the maintenance of real religious instruc-
tion. The bill would probably be materially varied before
it reached the House of Lords, and he therefore abstained
from giving his own opinion upon it in its present shape.

REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL.

HASTINGS AND ST. LEONARDS.

The Londoner, who is obliged to remain for a cer-
tain number of hours, each day cooped in at work in
a dark office, who is obliged to breathe
the close city air, and whose eyes for the time
grow weary looking into ledgers and ink bottles,knows
not, perhaps, that after his hours of labour he can at
a cheap rate pay a visit to Hastings or St.
Leonards, sleep the night there even with
his family, and go down or come np from
London by express trains. The opportunity
for this treat has been provided by the London,
Brighton, and South Coast, and the South Eastern
Railways. A little before five every evening two
trains start, one from Charing Cross, the other, the
"City fast train," from the Brighton side of the Lon-
don Bridge terminus. By means of these trains a man
may enjoy all the pleasures of a marine residence in
these sunny days, and as the fares are not exorbitant,
he may gain health, strength, and spirits, at no
sacrifice to conscience. He may, moreover, give all
these benefits to his wife and children, and thereby save
many anxieties and large doctor's bills. As yet the trains
are not well patronised, indeed on one occasion this
Week the express left London-bridge with four pas-
sengers. This is only, however, owing to its not
being known that there is a way of getting to the
seaside towns. It is a pleasing duty to aid in giving
Publicity to the fact.

ACTION AGAINST A PEER.

In the Court of Queen's Bench-to-day, Lord Rivers was
the defendant, in an action to recover a very large sum
of money upon several bills of exchange dated 1852.
The defendant pleaded, amongst others, the statute of
limitations. The action was brought by Mr. Edward
Rawson Clarke against Lord Rivers for money ad-
vanced to him on bills of exchange when he was Colonel
Pitt. There was no desire to put Lord Rivers into the
box and examine him upon pasttransactions, as in the end
the case must turn upon documentary evidence as to
whether the debts had been taken out of the Statute
of Limitation, aad therefore he would take his
lordship's upon the point at first. There had
been a Chancery suit between the parties, and that a
deed for £20,000 had been compromised by the payment
of £16,000, and Lord Rivers belseved the bills sued on had
been paid under that arrangement. Ultimately, at the
request of the parties, his lordship nonsuited the plaintiff
with leave to move, and in the event of the court deciding
in favour of the plaintiff, the amount due to him to be
assessed by an arbitration.

PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND.

The Act providing for the discontinuance of pro-
cessions in the sister island has been printed. The
influence of the enactments is to extend to Ireland
only, and they order that every assembly of persons
who shall come together for the purpose of provoking
animosity, or encouraging treason, or who shall
carry arms "or other offensive weapon," shall
be dealt with as if they were taking part in
a riot. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland will have
power to issue a prohibition of any procession of
which he has had warning, and every man who is
apprehended for attempting to make or join such
procession will be liable to severe punishment. The
bill directs the repeal of the old " Party Processions
Act," inasmuch as its own provisions apply to all
creeds and parties alike, and therefore precautions
with respect to any particular class of Irishmen ceases
to be any longer requisite.

BRISTOL LIBERALS.

The Standard says that the Liberals of Bristol have
selected their candidate for the vacancy which was yester-
day officially declared. Mr. Kirkman Hodgson, who
was second to Mr. Robinson at the now famous test
ballot, is the choice of the majority of the party, and
although Mr. Odger complains loudly of the decision
arrived at to his disadvantage, it is hardly probable
that he will protest against it in the ipolling-booths.
So we may take it, that Mr. Hodgson will enjoy
in the forthcoming contest the support of the " great
Liberal party" in the capital of the West, and that if he
is defeated--as we hope and trust he will be—the personal
disappointment he must experience will be but a small
matter compared with the sense of discomfiture and dis-
aster which will come over the Liberal managers in
Downing-street. The Conservative candidate has not yet
been announced, but that there will be one is
a matter beyond all question, and there can hardly
be any doubt that if Mr. Sholto Hare will only
wage again, and under so much more favourable
circumstances, the fight he so gallantly undertook last
March at the eleventh hour, his candidature will be cor-
dially welcomed by the Conservatives of Bristol, and, so
welcomed, will prove successful. The Conservative cause
has the best prospect of success at Bristol, and its chances
will not be damaged by the disunion which its enemies
have imagined. Our Liberal contemporaries will have
another occasion in the poling at Bristol of proving the
rogress of the Liberal cause from the diminution of
Liberal strength in the large constituencies.

THE TUG OF WAR.

The Educational contest in the House of Com-
mons will come on in earnest this evening. Upon
the temper in which it will be commenced, the hope
of practical legislation of any kind upon this most
important question during the present session will
be entirely dependent. An opposition to a certain
extent strong, and in a great measure irritated
is arrayed—out of doors—against the scheme
advanced •by Mr. Forster, in the name of
the Government. How, far that outer op-
position may be enabled to find supporters in
the House among the more independent of the
national representatives yet remains to be discovered.
The principal difficulty still is in reference to the
vitally important matter of religious instruction.
Mr. Dixon proposes that religious and secular in-
struction shall, at each school, be imparted in sepa-
rate apartments. At many schools, however,
there will be only one apartment. In which case—
What then ? Mr. Forster would reply, no doubt,
Why, then, the Time Table Conscience Clause
will come into effect as a means for extrication from
the dilemma ! Those who are fearful that another
year may be lost without the hope of legislation upon
the matter at all, insist upon it, that rather than run
that hazard, the bill, as it is, should be summarily
passed, and amended afterwards. A proposition, to
our wind, however, altogether too rash and venture-
some. Rather .than this, say we, delay one year
longer.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WAKEFIELD.

Yesterday a fire broke out at Messrs. Fallon and
Shave's worsted mill, in Back-lane, Wakefield, and in a
few hours destroyed the building and a valuable stock of
machinery, wool, and worsted. The damage is estimated
at £lO,OOO. The West Riding Prison, which adjoined the
mill was only saved from destruction by great exertion.

ADMIRALTY STORES.

The Telegraph thinks the plain English of the new
contract and purchase system at the Admiralty is, that
our great and costly naval department can now go into
the open market, buying what seems most profitable,
without the trammels of long contract, and certain that,
in its offers, it commands the entire range of supply ;
without restricting itself to a small section of pro-
ducers who may combine to extort high terms. And
official documents will show that this improve-
ment of our position as purchasers has not been
effected entirely or even chiefly by resort to the
open market--since most of the supply under the new
system has been procured, not by direct purchase, but by
employing some one of the other three methods that we
have instanced. However this may be, a commercial
country like England can only approve the enter-
prise and economy of a Government which, securing
good judges of work or material as its buyers, goes
boldly down into the common market to purchase
for the public service as cheaply as it can. As regards
the imputation' of favouritism and corruption, we need
only remember who are the trained and wearisome
grievance-mongers from whom it comes, to pass it by at
once as the too familiar cavil which, blindly and indis-
criminately, assails with equal contumely corruption and
reform.

LAUNCH OF A NEW IRONCLAD.

At Jarrow-on-the-Tyne on Wednesday a new war
vessel named the Swiftsure, built for her Majesty's Govern-
ment, was launched from the ship-building yard of C.
M. Palmer and Co., making the fifth war frigate issued
from this yard for the royal navy. The Swiftsure
has been built from designs supplied by Mr. R J. Reid,
C.E. Dimensions, length over all, 291 ft.; extreme
breadth, 55ft.; extreme depth, 46ft. Her registered ton-
nage is about 3,893 tons. She is of immense strength, being
heavily plated throughout, and will be able to attain an
unusually swift speed. She is intended for a ram as well
as a battery. She is plated below the water line with
half-inch plating, and above the water line an armour-
plated belt, six and eight inches in thickness, runs round
the vessel. The armour-plating is backed with teak wood,
ten inches thick, covered with two thicknesses of five-
eighths inch plate, with a ten-inch frame behind, making
the sides at this part two feet three and a quarter
inc Les thick. All the decks are plated with five-
sixteenths sheet plates as a preventive against injury
from liquid fire. Four longitudinals divide the vessel
into about 130 water-tight compartments, so that in the
event of her being struck she will still retain her buoyancy.
Her weight far exceeds that of any ironclad launched in
the north of England. She has accommodation for 320
men, exclusive of officers. Immediately after the launch
shewent into the Tyne dock to receive her engiaes, a pair
of surface condensing ones of 800 horse-power, made by
Maudsley, Son, and Field, of London. A twin sister of
the Swiftsure is being constructed, and will be launched
soon, when it is expected that the Palos of Wales will
take vart in the ceremony.

THE LOSS OF THE EARL OF ELGIN.

• The inquiry at Newcastle into the loss of the Earl of
Elgin off Whitby was concluded yesterday. After
maturely weighing the evidence, the court found great
difficulty, owing to the conflicting nature of the testimony,
in coming to a decision, although the greater weight of
the evidence was in favour of the Jesmond. Neither of
the vessels was held free from blame, yet neither could ho
held responsible. Everything had been done by the
Jesmond which was possible to save life.

THE ESSEX AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the Essex Agricultural Society
was held yesterday in the park of Lord Braybrooke,
Saffro Walden. The attendance was good, the entries
large in horses, oxen, sheep, and pigs. A number of hun-
ters which had been entered were withdrawn in consequence
of the lamented death of Mr. Barker, killed at the Agri-
cultural Hall, Islington. The show of implements in-
cluded specimens from all the principal markets in Eng-
land. The dinner was held last evening under the presi-
dency of Lord Braybrooke. The usual toasts were duly
honoured, and success to the Essex Agricultural Society
was proposed. Sir Henry Selwyn Ibbetson and Lord
Eustace Cecil responded as members for the county. The
health of Lord Braybrooke, coupled with an expression
of thanks for granting the use of his park, was given with
all the honours. The show will remain open to-day.

CHARGE OF ISSUING A FALSE PROSPECTUS.
On Wednesday two persons, Gibson and Yeomanr,were
committed for trial at the next Manchester Assizes on a
charge of conspiracy to defraud a shipowner at Hartlepool,
who had sent the prisoners, who held a small office in Man-
chester, £2OO for four shares in the North Caradon Mining
Company, on the faith of an assurance in the prospectus
that there were extensive minerals to be worked. At a
previous hearing of the case instructions were read which
had been discovered in the prisoners' office from a co-
partner in Paris named Wadge to keep the thing
going on in eight or ten newspapers at once,
and promisng .to put £4,000 into "Gibson's pocket.
—An inspector of police who has been in Cornwall proved
that there was no such place as North Caradon,
as described in the company's prospectus, but that on the
estate of Rilla Mill, on which Gibson had got a license
from the Duchy to search for minerals, there was
an old pit, now filled up and overgrown with
furze and ferns, which had been similarly licensed
by Wadge four years ago. It was stated that
the prisoners had received twelve hundred pounds in
deposits since the prospectus was issued, and what was
described as a bundle of letters was produced in court,
which, within the last week, have been received by the
police from indignant shareholders. Bail was taken for
the prisoners in a thousand pounds each, and two sureties
of five hundred pounds each.

NOT IF WE KNOW IT.

Again Mr. Ayrton, with a sneer on his lips and an
air of truculent pertinacity, is to-night going to
try it on once more—in regard to that wretched
little job about the Hyde Park and Kensington
High-road. A Select Committee, is what
he is going to ask for. To what end?
Why, simply and coolly to the Send that this said
committee shall endeavour t o reconcile the public
at large (so likely !) to the cutting off from the
south of Hyde Park of a goodly strip of that
cherished grass-land, well planted with trees,
wholly and solely for the convenience of
a p rivate speculation of a quasi-artistic character.
Of course Mr. Ayrton, as in duty bound, now that
he Bits on the Treasury bench as a right hon.—not
below the gangway, as a thorn in the side of a ministry
and the maddening catechist of an administration
—of course, we say Mr. Ayrton wishes he may get
what he asks for, meaning the Select Committee, and
through the Select Committee, the coveted slice of
Hyde Park. So do not we. So—we are tolerably
well satisfied—does not the House of Commons.

THE CONSERVATIVE PEERS AND THE LAND BILL.

The Conservative peers have wisely decided to
consider the Irish Land Bill on its merits, and to
offer no factious opposition to the great measure of
the session. They will not, however, abnegate their
duty of proposing such amendments as in their
opinion may tend to enhance the value of a bill neces-
sary for the well-being of the country, and for the
removal of those heart-burning disputes between
landlord and tenant which have been the principal,
if not the sole cause of the unhappy and unsatisfac-
tory condition of a country containing in itself so
many essentials of material prosperity. At the meet-
ing which took place at the residence of the Duke
of Richmond, the speakers were unanimous as to
the course proposed to be taken in the House of
Lords ; and while it was insisted that no attempt
should be made to alter the principle of the bill,
amendments will be proposed in committee in order
to render the details consistent and effective.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING.

THE EDUCATION BILL

The State, observes the Times, in discussing the Edu-
cation Bill, finds a work to be done, which it must do in
some fashion or other. Tne religious people will not act
in concert by merging their differences ; nor is there any
body willing or able to do all the work. So there are
thousands, and teats of thousands, and, what seems a
still more hopeless case, scores, and tens of scores, of
children growing up without instruction, or with
instruction which is a name and not a thing.
Where this is the case, and where evidently a burden
is thrown on the State, the only conclusion yet dis-
covered is that the ratepayers shall be empowered
to provide schools. But here comes the specific form of
the difficulty upon which good peoole are at once so sen-
sitive and so useless. Ratepayers are a well known in-
stitution. They have managed to put themselves rather
forward of late years, till there are men who would
have no objection to face a line of battle, a
battery, a House of Commons, or a town hall,
but who would rather not make an observation in a
parish vestry. The ratepayer is the terror of the age ;
he is the only being who achieves victories without
cost, and exhorts surrender without compromise.
Everything gives way to him, and the only bounds
to his successes are the enjoyment he evidently derives
from the sport itself, apart from the value of the prey. If
a new tax is to be imposed on the ratepayer, nothing is
more certain than that it must be for a purpose entirely
and to every jot and tittle in accordance with his
wishes. Unless ratepayers are quite agreeable, and unless
they first agree among themselves, it will be simply impos-
sible to make them maintain a school. They have carried
this point as to the higher institution, the Church itself
and the school follows as a matter of course.

REF-RI:St NTATIO/st OF MINORITIES.

A correspondent of the Times calls attention to
the fact that the Constitutional Convention of Illi-
nois has just adopted, by a majority of four to one,
the principle of the representation of minorities. The
State is to be divided into districts, each returning
three representatives. Each elector is to have as
many votes as there are representatives to be elected,
and may either vote distributively, or concentrate
his votes upon one candidate. The committee
which originated the proposal reported that
the adoption of the principle would relieve the voter
from the despotism of party caucuses, and would also
enable the virtuous citizens to elect the ablest and
purest men. It will be remembered that great dis-
satisfaction was manifested by the Liberals at the
result of the elections in the City of London and
Manchester immediately after the passing of the last
Reform Bill, when Mr. Charles Bell and Mr. Hugh
Birlev, both Conservatives, were respectively returned
for those places. The action of the State of Illinois
is interesting at the present time, when the question

MINORITY CLAUSE.

The House of Commons, after a tie, in which the
Speaker's vote was so given as to afford opportunities for
a second division on the merits, has, says the Daily News,
rejected Mr. Hardcastle's bill for the repeal of the mino-
rity clauses of the Reform Act of 1867. Nearly every
eminent parliamentary authorhy is opposed to the prin-
ciple of these clauses. Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Disraeli,
and Mr. Henley condemned them. On the other side
were found, running in strange couples, Mr. Morrison
and Mr. John Hardy, Mr. Newde?ate and Mr.
Fawcett. The minority scheme in its best form,
which is certainly not that partially adopted in.
the Act of 1867, is little better than an ingenious philo-
sophical toy, better fitted to amuse the leisure of a Laputan
philosopher than to engage the labours of practical states-
men. Those who favour it talk of Representative Govern-
ment, but they are thinking only of representation, and
leave government entirely out of their minds. They lose
sight of the end in the means. In their desire to give an
ideal symmetry to the instrument, they entirelyignore the
work which has to be done. If the House of Commons
were a mirror, with no other function than passively
to reflect the feeling of the country, Mr. Hare's
scheme would be a wise one. It is not, however, a look-
ing-glass, but a lever which bas to lift a heavy weight ;
and its efitiency is not likely to be increased by diminish-
ing the force that can be applied to it. The combination
of a few members, whose votes say ditto to Mr. Mill, with
the Tory antagonists of democracy, has given a few
months or years additional existence to the blundering
application of a doubtful principle, which cannot perma-
nently enter into our electoral system.

THE NORTHERN FRONTIER.

GENERAL DONNELLY COMMITTED IN DEFAULT OF BAIL.
S; ALBANS, VERMONT, June 1.
General Donnelly was to-day brought before United
States Commissioner B. B. Smalley, of Burlington. He
waived an examination, and in default of $lO,OOO bail
was ordered to be committed in this place. Owing to his
wound it was not deemed prudent to confine him in gaol,
and he now remains at the Weldon House in charge of
Deputy Marshal J. M. Smalley. The following is the
reply which Deputy Marshal Smalley received when he
asked permission, in behalf of Rowe's friends, to remove
his body :
" Camp Eccles' Hill, May 31, 1870.
" Sir,—l have great pleasure in acceding to your re-
quest to permit the friends of the Fenian Rowe to remove
his body, now buried in our lines.—Yours obediently,
"W. OSBORNE SMITH.
" Lieutenant-Colonel, D. A. G. Mil., Canada, command-
ing field force on Southern frontier.

" J.M. Smalley, Deputy Marshal, Vermont."

United States Marshal Foster and his deputies found
in Franklin over six tons of ammunitions left by the
Fenians, 136 boxes of which had not been opened, and
six waggon loads were brought here to-day and placed
under a guard of the United States troops. The destina-
tion of the company of United States troops that left here
this morning was Fort Preble, Portland Harbour.
BUFFALO, N. Y., June 1.
General Starr was arrested at his hotel here this after-
noon by a Deputy United States Marshal, and taken
before United States Commissioner Gorham, and in de-
fault of $lO,OOO bail was committed to gaol. Bail will be
tendered in the morning. The Irishmen of this city are
very indignant at the hurried manner in which the arrest
was made, and bitterly denounce the Deputy Marshal as
being governed by the mercenary 'motive of obtaining
heavy fees in running the prisoner to Canandaigua.

Three hundred Fenians from Malone passed through
here this evening en route for New York. Their trans-
portation was ordered by Governor Hoffman, of New-
York, who also ordered meat and bread for them at this
point.

COLLISION BETWEEN UNITED STATES TROOPS AND
FENIANS.

A special dispatch to the Morning Rena, dated at
Rome, half-past seven o'clock this evening, says—" There
has just been a collision at Williamstown, north of Rome,
between the. Fenian and tha United. States trnopo. The
troops fired on the Fenians and drove them into the cars,
wounding several of them."

SINGULAR HISTORY OF A VAGABOND

An individual arrested by the Paris police a day or two
ago for vagabondage has turned out to be a convict
named Montrousier, aged 35, who escaped from Cayenne
a few years ago under rather extraordinary circum-
stances. He was condemned in 1861 to transportation
for setting fire to the farm of a neighbour in Algeria,
where he had settled. In the penal colony he adopted
the calling of a fisherman, and married a woman
who was undergoing a sentence of five years. They
eventually resolved to escape, and with three other con-
victs got away in their boat, and after being ten days at
sea, landed on Barbiche Island. Having no money to
purchase provisions, they stole what they could, and
then again put to sea. A terrible tempest sprang up, in
the midst of which the woman gave birth to a female
child, and died a few days after; the infant, however, sur-
vived, being fed with bread steeped in water. After thirty
days in that precarious state, the fugitives were picked up
by an English steamer and landed in France; where they
concocted some plausible story to avert suspicion. The
four men came to Paris, still accompanied by the child,
and have since formed the nucleus of a band of depreda-
tors. Montrousier has refused to give any information
relative to his companions.

THE CAPITOL.

The Capitol removers had a sorry defeat in the Senate
while the legislative appropriation bill was pending. Mr.
Harlan of lowa made the issue against a provision for the
extension and improvement of the capitol grounds, offer-
ing the resolutions of the legislature of lowa to the same
purpose as his text. Mr, Yates of Illinois came to the
relief, and predicted as " future history that not one soli-
tary member of Congress from any north-western State
could be returned this fall unless pledged inviolably to the
removal of the capitol to the Mississippi Valley." With
this exception the voice of the West was on the other side.
Senator Carpenter of Winconsin thought if they were to
change the capitol at all " Milwaukee was the only place
where it ought to be ; and yet, General Paine of the
House and himself were probably the only men
who would agree upon that location." Senator
Drake of Missouri said that he would not wish
any ma& in that State a more sure and speedy
oblivion as a public man, than tO•advocate the giving up
of the city of St. Louis to the nation for a capitol. Ne-
vada and Nebraska entered'a protest against the absurd
notion of removal, and one of the new senators from
Texas drew a kaleidoscopic view of the time "when the
stars and stripes would float with credit, and honour, and
glory, as in the proud old days of Rome, over Mexico,
Cuba, and all the islands adjacent," as a reason why he
would make the present capitol " according." Oregon
also put in a good word for Washington, and was disposed
to favour the suggestion of Mr, Stockton of New Jersey,
that when the future pilgrim from the distant West ap-
proached her magnificent hill he should salute her as the
great twin brethren saluted their favourite city floating
in the midst of the Campagna,
" Hail to the great asylum !
Hail to the hill-tops seven !
Hail to the fire that burns for aye,
And the shield that fell from heaven !"
