ME . PE AB OD Y.

In connection with the news that the Monarch,
with Mr. Peabody's remains, arrived at Madeira on the
30th of December, and that the voyage must now
approach termination, it may be well to mention that
the spot selected by the philanthropist for his burial
is a beautifully wooded rising ground, situated upon
the north-western boundary of Salem, in Massa-
chusetts, bordering upon the line of the town now
called Peabody. The latter place was formerly
called South Danvers. The principal street still
contains the house with the small shop in front, in
which, as a boy of a village store, Mr. Peabody
spent much of his early life.

TILE LAITY IN THE CHURCH.
A pamphlet on "Lay Power in Parishes the
most needed Church Reform," by the Rev.
Mr. Fremantle, a metropolitan rector, is a
noticeable contribution to this important ques-
tion. Mr. Fremantle fully endorses the jus-
tice of the complaint that the clergy possess
far too much independence in the administration of
their parishes and in the performance of Divine Ser-
vice. This state of things he considers dangerous to
the national character of the Church; for if the Esta-
blishment lose its hold upon the people, how can it
justly continue an Establishment P The remedy he pro-
poses is the institution in every parish of .a lay
council, consisting in ordinary districts of some fifty or
sixty members. These should be all worshippers at
the parish church, but should be elected by all the
parishioners without distinction. Ile would then
propose that in all matters not actually prescribed by
statute, any course should be allowed on which the
council, the incumbent„ and the bishop might be
agreed. Any one of the three parties should have
power to make a proposition, and any ono should be
able to veto it. At present the bishop only has dis-
cretion in matters of doubt ; but there is no legal
power to help the prelate, and practically the clergy-
man does very much as he likes.

THE EMIGRATION QUESTION.

The Emigration League has at last definitely incor-
porated itself. The Duke of Manchester is to be its
president ; Sir William Denison, the Lord Mayor
of London, Mr. Eastwick, M.P., dolonel Maude, C. 8.,
and Mr. Potter its chief supporters. It will steer clear
of the Colonial League, which has been holding
its numerous meetings of late, and confine itself to
its own definite objects. A meeting held in London
yesterday resolved to use all efforts to obtain
the aid of the Government, and the co-opera-
tion of other societies in 'London and the pro-
vinces for the relief of the unemployed; and by esta-
blishing corresponding committees or agencies in
the colonies, to receive contributions from persons
desirous of helping out friends and others residing in
the United Kingdom, and co-operate with the local
authorities in providing temporary accommodation
upon the arrival of the immigrants. A large meeting
in aid of the Association is to be held in Exeter
Hall.

CURIOUS BIBLICAL I3IOGRAPTIIES.

The Rev. Mr. Best, of Leeds, delivered a lecture
on Tuesday night, in support of the principles of
the National Education League. Referring to the
" religious difficulty," he said he entertained no fear as
to the supposed irreligious character of the teaching
which would be given. Ho adduced some " curious
illustrations of the value of the religious training which is
given under the denominational system." Here are
some samples, consisting of literally copied answers
to scriptural questions, at an examination in a Church
of England School. First, as to Daniel, the prophet :
" Daniel was put into the lions den and the lions eat
him up and then his father told him to go and mind his
sheep and he went to mind them on the field and while
he was tending the sheep a lion and a bear came out to
kill the sheep and the sheep ran away and he turned
back and saw the lion and the bear and ran of a running
and catch them both and then he came back to the sheep
and prayed to Cod to forgive his sins." The following
brief biography of the Prophet Elisha also pre-
sents some curious and not generally known facts :
" Eli,:her was barn in cainen, and was brught from
camen to egypt he became a king of egypt and he went
with his soalgers to conkor another country and they came
home beten and he had a great powerful country and disher
went to speak to daniel when he was in the lions den and
elisher said to him Daniel how canest thou hear and he
said the king put me hear and elisher was a good man and
he had a good many soulgers."

AI STRIA AND EGYPT.

It is stated that a marked change has taken place in the
relations of the Khedive with the Western Powers since
the visit of the Emperor Of Austria to the East.
The French influence at Cairo has considerably
decreased since France took the part of the Sultan
in the Turco-Egyptian dispute. Austria, on the other
hand has risen in favour, and her commerce with Egypt
will, it is expected, increase considerably. The Khedive
has until recently favoured the French traders beyond
those of other European nations, but this state of things
is now altered. But is it certain that the influence of
France in this settlement of the late quarrel was exerted
on the side of Turkey ? England had the largest share in
propping up the Porte.

THE LAVERPOOL ACCIDENT.

The sad. results of the fall of a warehouse, running from
Harrington-street (behind Lord-street) near to Matthew-
street, Liverpool, on Wednesday, are described by the local
papers. The premises were used for the storage of rice,
cotton, meal, Sce. The warehouse is six stories high,
and fronts with Harrington-street, the rear or northern
portion of the block, that which has fallen, abutting
upon Matthew-street, but leaving sufficient space for two
or three small dwellings, which stood in No. 2 Court in
this street. These premises were occupied by Mr. John
Moss, cabinet maker. According to a date on the front of
the warehouse, which is known as "Harvey's," the build-
ing is 84 years old. In its fall the immense mass swept
away or entombed two of the cottages, and did consider-
able damage to surrounding property, including that oc-
cupied by Mr. Bolton, drysalter, whose office has been
entirely demolished. Two persons were in it at the time,
Mr. •J. S. Butler, the manager, who lives at 14, Melia-
street, and a youth named Thomas Ankers. On hearing
he noise the lad rushed to the door, which remained
itanding, and managed to scramble unhurt into the street.
His companion, he said, also endeavoured to reach the
boor, but while in the act of doing so the flooring gave
way, and he disappeared among the deris. Butler, how-
,wer, was rescued alive, though seriously injured. Another
nan seems past hope of recovery.

ADVANCE OP MATRIIiONIAL SCEINCE.

For calm assurance in well doing commend us to
William Eburne, of Coventry. This individual, who
is evidently much in advance of his time, has a wife
who is insane, and an inmate of Hatton Asylum.
For several years Eburne has contributed nothing to
her support, and she has been chargeable to the
parish. The Coventry board of guardians thought
this an unnecessary burden, and accordingly made an
application to the husband. They received a reply,
of which the following is the main portion

I beg to say I have not lived with my late wife Jane
Eburne this 8 or 9 years and on my last Visite to Hatton
the Dr told me there was no Chance of her ever getting
well Concsequently I do not consider aney longer a wife of
mine and haveing meet with a woman with whom I can be
happy with and we ware aquanted some time and it was
reported we lived together which injured her in her work,
and haveing three little children depending on her for
a liveing I felt myself in duty bound to Marry her and
I have done so to take all Stain from her and we are
both at the present time out of work and no prospect
of any.

The latter admissions do not make it appear as if
the worthy man's efforts to " take all Stain from
her" had met with their just reward. But Mr.
Eburne may take heart about the prospect of work,
for he has committed bigamy, and he may soon have
to exert himself in the service of the State. It was
suggested that the board of guardians should take
proceedings on account of this offence; but they sa7.ely
resolved -to prosecute only for time maintenance of the
insane wife, leavin:,' the bigamy to ho dealt with by
the public prosecutor who is " coming."

THE MINERS' CONFERENCE.

The later proceedings of the Conference of miners'
delegates at Wigan have resulted in a determination
tocommence the eight hour' system of work on the
first Monday in April. The Conference has also
passed resolutions in favour of continuing the agita-
tion for a general amalgamation of the unions, and in
favour of establishin.,,,, a miners' newspaper. Mr.
Alexander Macdonald, president of the Miners'
National Association, delivered an address to the
Conference, urging the eight hours' system, and
setting forth the superiority of the New World as a
field of labour.

LOUIS DL'ANC UPON CHRISTMAS,

The Pall Mall Gazette and the Saturday Review,
which so assiduously assault Christmas year by year,
have got a now ally in the person of M. Louis Blanc.
That gentleman, in his latest letter to the Paris
Temps, shows us what a Frenchman's opinion is of
our English custom. He is not at all complimentary
to us. The Englishman, according to him, takes
mirth out of his pigeon-hole at this season of the
year, and makes up his mind to be happy. He
submits for the time to-, children—something like a
crime in M. Blanc's eyes; ho provides work for the
doctor; he gets stifled at the door of the theatre

STILL SULKY

It seems that some of the Irish clergymen who are
disendowed by the Irish Church Act are still feeling
"wrung in spirit" about it. That they should abhor
Mr. Gladstone is only what might be expected; but
it appears that some of them have not yet for-
given the Queen. They feel it a hardship to
pray for her. One parish minister, who officiates
near Belfast, surprised a correspondent of the
Northern Whig the other Sunday morning by omit-
ing from the Litany the prayers for the Queen and
the Royal Family. And he did this not to shorten
the service, or to avoid vain repetition, but
of malice aforethought, for when he reached the
Communion Service he pointedly read " the Queen "
instead of " Our Queen." Yet again afterwards this
teacher of loyalty and goodwill, at Christmas time,
preached a sermon whose aim was to shew that he
need not petition the Almighty on behalf
of his sovereign. The Northern Whig
contributor says that he made a lame defence
for his conduct. He quoted an opinion he had re-
ceived from a barrister of high standing to the effect
that he had as much right to leave out the said
prayers now as he would have in 1871—an opinion
which is probably correct, for in neither case will an
individual clertrym.an have liberty thus to mutilate the
Prayer-book. 'this kind of thing has been going
on for a long time. The rev, gentleman who fills
the parish pulpit has been continually for months
past abusing her Majesty instead of preaching the
Gospel.

LEGISLATIVE IDEAS.

Mr. Palmer, the Liberal member for Lincoln, has
just made a speech to his constituents which is an
excellent sample of the small and vague stock of ideas
that enables our legislators to jog along with comfort
to themselves and satisfaction to their electors.
On the matter of education, Mr. Palmer isindepen-
dent. He d oes not support either the National
League or the Union ; but he believes that
out of the two the House of Commons may
find a solution of the problem. Then ho proceeded
to say :—" There were two points to which he must
object until ho was further informed as to the state
of public feeling respecting theM : the first was the
proposed entire abolition of all payments by parents
for their children's education, and the other was the
compulsory attendance of children at school." A
little inquiry would have convinced the hon. ineirb3r
that, in rejecting these two demands, he repudiates
the most important part of the League scheme, and
becomes, in fact, a Unionist. Besides being free and
compulsory, there is only one other quality that the
League. insists upon for the education of the people—

THE POPE AND VICTOR EMMANUE lA.

Speaking of the relations between the Pope and Victor
Emmanuel, the correspondent of the Daily Hews saye:—.
All mediation has proved useless. The mot d'ordre 118'9
been given. The Italian clergy all over the Peninsula
are to act with the Republican party and work together
for the overthrow of a sacrilegious sovereign. The war
is to be a l'outrance. The French journals, which on
the breaking out of the war with Prussia had been
deceiving the Parisians by allowing them to cherish the
idea that an Italian army would cross the Alps and would
join the armies of the Rhine are now taking their re-
venge by menacing, when the war shall be over, a new
French French occupation to restore the Pontiff. The fact is
that the French look upon a war with the Italians
as a rehabilitation for their army. The answers given
by M. de Beust and by the Bavarian Minister to
Signor Visconti Venosta's note announcing the reso-
lution taken by the Government to occupy Rome are
anything but satisfactory. Indeed, the Italian Minister
at Munich has arrived unexpectedly at Florenc?,
and I have reason to believe that the object of his
journey is to iuform the Government of the host le
spirit animating at this moment the Bavarian Court
Baron de Solvyns, the Belgian Minister at Florence, 1.4
continually remonstrating with the Italian Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and has frankly stated that in case of an
European Congress meeting, his Government will never
approve the Roman occupation. Amidst all these PT
tests and menaces, and declarations how could the Italia'
Ministers think any longer of a reconciliation ?

WISBEACH CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE.

A meeting of the Wisbeach District Chamber of Agri-
culture was held yesterday at Wisbeach. The subject for
discussion was the advantages of steam cultivators, on
which Mr. Isaac Robinson read an able paper, demon-
strating forcibly the superiority of cultivation by steam
as opposed to the more tedious process of horse cultiva-
tion. Upon this point there was no dissension, but several
speakers expressed a wish that the relative merits of the
district or round about systems of steam cultivation, as
applied to light or heavy lands, and also the cost of culti-
vation by steam as compared with horse cultiva-
tion, should form the subject of another paper.
The debate was therefore adjourned until the
next meeting. Captain Cartling piOposed the following
resolution :—" Tuat the application of science and capital
is greatly restricted by covenants, which limit the cultiva-
tion of the land ; and the advance of tho cost of labour,
and the lower range of corn prices, ought to induce
agents to concede greater freedom of management." The
consideration of this resolution was also adjourned.

JULES PAYEE'S REPLY TO BISMARCK.

The Times says the new circular of M. Jules Favre was
not needed to prove the unreality of a rumour which is,
however, remarkable as shewing the feeling among neu-
tral nations that there ought to be peace. Peace is as far
off as ever. The language of this very circular must
tend to defer rather than to hasten the end of the
war. On this account we cannot but regret that the
Government of Defence should have issued it. We are
ready to acknowledge the tremendous pressure under
which M. Favre and his colleagues must live; we can
understand and sympathise with their feelings as they con-
template the misery that is deepening over France, but it
would have been well could they have suffered in silence,
and have allowed other nations to draw for themselves the
reflections that are forced upon them by the state of
affairs. As it is evident that the only way in which
peace can be brought about lies in a modification of the
demands of Germany, it is to be regretted that any-
thing should be said by the Ministry of Defence to
harden the temper of the German people, to shut their
ears to argument, to make them implacable to pity.
The language of the circular is the more to be
deplored because it appears to be founded on nothing new ;
it is simply a fresh commentary on the interview at
Ferrieres, the meaning and significance of which had been
appreciated with sufficient clearness by all observers.
Even as a commentary it is marked by an exaggerated
feeling which is, if we may use the expression, blinded bg
its tears.

CROCODILES IN WALES.

The neighbourhood of the Cefn Caves, in the Vale
of Clwyd, a locality which proves of so much interest
to the summer visitors to Rhyl, and this part of
Wales generally, has been during the past week the
scene of a strange discovery. At the entrance of
one of the caves some bystanders saw a strange ani-
mal, apparently a crocodile, crawling about, and evi-
dently at home in the dark recesses of the craggy
place. The inhabitants of Clwyd, especially the
inhabitants partial to fresh water bathing, it
may well be imagined, were by no means
glad to know of the monster's apparent
satisfaction with the Welsh air and water,
and so they made vigorous efforts to secure a party
of men wl:o would undertake to brave the lizard
and bring about his extermination. It was a man
named Htr..rhes who eventually killed the crocodile
by striking him in the abdomen on one of the occa-
sions when the latter approached the mouth of the
cave, and the victor is now said to be making a
handsome profit out of the lizard's carcase and out
of his own intrepidity at Rhyl. The beast had a coat
of mail "quite hard and protruding in sharp corners
and anglee and it measured from the nose to the
end of its tail exactly 4ft. 7in., the tail being rather
more than half that length. How the amphibian
came to be discovered in the Hill district is a matter
for the naturalist to inquire into, but it behoves the
residents to switch well for any other monsters "with
numerous teeth," that may have taken a trip into
North Wales this year.

MR. TREVELYAN, M.P., ON ARMY REFORM.

Mr. Trevelyan, M.P., in a lecture on "Army Reform,'
delivered in Newcastle last night, said lie intended to
place the following depositions before the House of Com-
mons early next session. Ist. That as an essential pre-
liminary to any effective reorganisation of the army, the
sale and purchase of commissions shall be extinguished.
2nd. That the tenure of the command-in-chief shall be so
arranged that the existing Ministry can freely and with•
out scruple avail itself of the best administrative talent
existing at the time in the profession. 3rd. That the
military, social, and financial interests of the country
demand that short services in the ranks shall be the rule
of the army. 4th. That the line and militia shall be
amalgamated on a local basis.

THE REPRESENTATION OF COLCHESTER.
A large meeting was held at the Colchester Theatre
last night for the purpose of hearing Sir Henry Storks
deliver an exposition of his political principles, a requisi-
tion having been sent to him requesting him to stand for
the borough in the Liberal interest. Mr. E. Smith occu-
pied the chair. Sir H. storks, who was warmly
received, having paid a fitting tribute to the late Mr.
Gurdon Rebow, declared himself a supporter of the
great Liberal party. The present Government, he ventured
to say, had passed great and important measures. 'On the
educational question-he said: Although the bill just passed
might be improved, it would be productive of beneficial
results. Although a Churchman, he was in favour of the
most entire t freedom of conscience being accorded to
people of all denominations. Iu speaking of the war, he
pointed to the moral lesson we ought to derive from the
occurrences on the Continent. While we ought not to
exhibit any feelings of defiance, we ought to be in a per-
fect state of defence. He considered no question was so
difficult as that of national defences ; but he believed
that a scheme was in course of preparation to be submit-
ted to Parliament. An unanimous resolution was come
to accepting Sir Henry as the Liberal candidate.

WASTED BENEVOLENCE.

A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette finds serious
fault with the manner in which the National Aid Society

in St. Martin's-place are managing their funds. He has
just returned from Prussia, and thinks our money
is being wasted in some parts and withheld from
others. He conversed with several agents of the
society, some of whom could only speak French and
some German, which was a great drawback. These agents
told him they saw many blunders in the management
which they did not like to complain of, being paid by the
society. The chief fault found was that supplies were sent
to one or two depots at the outset, and there they remained
One young surgeon said there were amputating and other
surgical instrument cases lying at one depot, worth thirty
or forty guineas apiece, never used ; quinine enough to
cure all Europe, opium in like proportion. Again, there
was lint enough and to spare; head nets sufficient for
both armies if all their crowns were broken. The Prus-
sians were anything but grateful. One said, "You are
always too late." Another, "I have applied a dozen
times and got nothing." Another told me, " You
are the only nation rich enough to make blunders."
The writer states positively that our Princess Royal, at
Homburg, was nearly at a standstill for money, though
some time after he met one of the society's agents going
about with a credit of £20,000, and finding no use for it.
Yet her Royal Highness received nothing from the Society
up to the middle of September. He regrets very much,
in face of such mismanagement, that he did not keep his
money subscribed to the society for the benefit of the suf-
', fering peasantry of North-East France.

THE CHINESE MASSACRE.—In reference to the
Tien-tsin massacre; Colonel Sykes, M.P., points out that
the military demonstration recommended by the Times
cannot take place. So much time has elapsed since the
perpetration of the brutal outrage that the Peiho will
be frozen, and access to Tientsin will only be by. land,
and all the regular troops of all the foreign Powers com-
bined could ,iot venture on a march from the Tapu forts
to Tientsin. Nothing can be done, therefore, by a nava
demonstration until the spring.

THE CAMBRIA IN AMERICA.

Whatever the diplomatic relations between the
two countries, it is certain that the yachtsmen of
Great Britain and America are on the best of terms.
The reception given in New York to Mr., or as he is
called on the other side of the Atlantic, Commodore
Ashbury, the owner of the Cambria, has been ex-
tremely hospitable. A series of entertainments itt
his honour culminated in a grand dinner given to him
by the Commodore of the New York Yacht Squadron.
There was the usual amount of complimentary speech-
making after the banquet, when Mr. Ashbury, in re-
turning thanks, complimented Mr. Bennett, journalist
and yachtsman, for the good humour with which he
had borne a very close defeat. Mr. Ashbury re-
marked, as particularly creditable to American
yachtsmen, that, though many of the matches were
very complicated, there had not been a single pro-
test against the decision of the judges. Mr. Stebbins,
the Commodore of the New York Yacht Squadron,
said that the presence of the Cambria in American
waters had given great stimulus to yachting,
and fourteen new yachts had been ordered for
next season. The yacht squadron in the
United States had, he maintained, been of very great
national service, because it had induced those who
had taste and means to turn their attention to im-
provements in naval construction. This appeared to
be the general feeling, and, consequently, the
nautical amateurs may congratulate themselves that
they have been serving their country without know-
ing it.

PROBABLE FALL OF Birrz.

We were able yesterday, the Daily News remarks, to
confirm the rumours of negotiations between Marshal
Bazaine and the German Commanders by the informa-
tion that General Boyer, Bazaine's chief adjutant, is
actually at Versailles. not probable that the
transferenoe of the negotiations from Prince
Frederick Charles to Counts Bismark and Moltke
indicates that they have any political design ;
the probability is that Bazaine asks for some con-
ditions other than simple surrender, and that only at
headquarters can such conditions be discussed. He is
most likely justified in asking for conditions. Nothing
can be more important for the Germans than
the possession of Metz. Bazaine has held it with
marvellous tenacity, and his sacrifices in holding
it are more than warranted. It is in some respects the key
of the whole posi ion; and it will be an unspeakable mis.
fortune to France that the negotiations for peace should
be preceded by its surrender. Bazaine has not only kept
firm the hold of France on Lorraine, but has at the
same time held nearly 200,000 Germans in check. If
Metz changes hands Germany will not only be so much
the stronger for war, but so much the better off in nego-
tiating for that cession of territory which is declared by
its organs to be the "indispensable and only basis of
peace." It will enable the Germans to press their hard
terms on France with the advantage of actually holding
the territory they demand as a material guarantee.
Nor will the military loss to France be less. The army
in Metz is at least fighting a passive battle by holding
so many Germans at bay—its capitulation will
liberate those multitudes for active operations
elsewhere. Even if Gambetta should raise a
southern army, here would be sufficient force to keep
it from marching to the relief of Paris, or even to defeat
and scatter it before it was ready to fight. The fall of
Metz would in fast be the final collapse of the regular
French armies, and its sequel would probably be the fall
of Paris.
