THE BISHOPRIC OF ST. ASAPU.

All the speculation and controversy about the
Bishop of St. Asaph has come to nothing. There
was a chorus of congratulation at the excellent choice
Mr. Gladstone had made in selecting Archdeacon
Jones, a Welshman, and a divine of learning and posi-
tion in the Church. The IS'pectator thought that
the Premier had pleased all parties concerned,
it:cluding itself and the _Record. Ent one little diffi-
culty now presents itself. The Bishop of St. Asaph
has not resigned. At least, the Chester Guardian is
authorised to make the contradiction.

THE LICENSING SYSTEM

Dr. R. Martin writes to the Daily Telegraph on
one or two points connected with the principles of
the Licensing Amendment League, of which ho is
the honorary secretary. lie explains that whilst the
League advocates the closing of places for the
sale of liquor from 10 or 11 p.m. till 7 or 8 a.m., and
during longer hours, or the whole of Sunday, it does
not propose that such changes should be made com-
pulsory over the whole country. What it asked was
that the measure should be of a permissive
cnaracter, and act tentatively. With regard to the
proposal that liquor should not be sold till 7 or 8 a.m..
Dr. Martin says it is well-known that some public-
houses are open as early as five o'clock. These
places, he observes—warm, dry, cosy, brilliantly-
lighted—induce many a poor fellow to step in to
have a glass, the one growing to two, and the two to
four. Unfortunately, he adds, working men are
unable to resist the temptation. Endeavours, there-
fore, he argues, should be made to defend them from
such traps and pitfalls.

THE EDMUNDS SCANDAL.
Our London correspondent recently stated that
the Edmunds scandal would soon come before the
courts again. In his prediction be was right ; the
case has already been placed in the hands of
the lawyers, and has assumed a new and
startling form. Mr. Leonard Edmunds has noti-
fied that he intends to apply next term to
the Queen's Bench for leave to file a criminal infor-
mation against Mr. W. E. Gladstone, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Mr. James Stansfeld, and Mr.
George A. Hamilton, who signed the Treasury
minute branding him as a ' public defaulter.'" It
the case is tried it will be, indeed, a cause celebre; it
is as near a State trial without being one as
can be imagined ; a Premier charged with
libel, uttered in an official capacity. The
de tails of Mr. Edmunds's case, however,
are so uninteresting, so mixed lip with dry statistics,
tint the action, except as regards its results, will
hardly be engrossing.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par , and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15e. per £1 sterling,
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 l'is.tOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in

PALLISER V. WHITWORTII.

The Pall Mall Gazette gives its opinion on the
controversy concerning the merits and demerits. of
the artillery systems of the rival inventors, Major
Palliser and Sir Joseph Whitworth. It says that
the stock argument against the service sys-
tem is that the pointed Palliser, when
striking obliquely, will not penetrate, while the flat-
headed Whitworths will. Now the former have over
and over again penetrated at an angle, and have always
proved superior to flat-headed projectiles, whether
for direct or oblique fire. But there are men who will
not accept an argument of facts, but take refuge in
the formulae of theorists who have never seen a shot
fired. Beyond this, even theory as well as practice
has shown the pointed-headed shot to be more effec-
tive than the fiat-headed shot. A. Russian artillery
officer of great talents proved some time ago that
a projectile with a flat head, when penetrating a
plate, heaps up and pushes before it the matter
through which it is passing, thereby increasing the
thickness it has to traverse, whereas the " energy"
of the pointed shot is not wasted in this way) but
wholly devoted to penetration.

BISHOP OF LONDON'S FUND.

general meeting of the board of management of
the Bishop of London's Fund has been held
to • receive the annual report. The Bishop
of London, who presided, said that last year
when they met he was comparatively a stranger
to them, so much so that doubts had ob-
tained currency as to whether ho would continue to
fill the office of his predecessor in connection with
this fund. Ile thanked the Executive Committee for
their services, and enumerated some of the
great results which have been achieved by
the fund. The report chews that since the work
commenced—five years ago—no fewer than sixty
churches have been raised by it in the metropolis,
capable of containing 46,000 persons, and an equal
number of schools, providing instruction for 112,000
children. A. sum of £400,000 has passed through the
hands of the treasurers, and altogether the magni-
tude of the operations of the fund, and the visible
results already obtained, are very satisfactory and
encouraging to its promoters.

THE PARISIIIONEIO3 RIGHT TO HIS CHURCII.

It is proposal to introduce a bill into Parliament
in the course of the coming session, declaring and
enacting the law as to the rights of parish-
ioners in respect to their parish churches.
The bill, which has been drawn by Dr.
Swabey, affirms in its preamble that according
to the ancient law the entire area of every parish
church in England and Wales is intended for the
equal use of all the parishioners without regard to
their degrees or qualities. It further affirms that
this law has been disregarded in many parishes
by a system of appropriation of seats
and pews to the injury of the majority in
number, especially the poorer classes of the
parishioners. The bill provides that the entire area
of every parish church shall be open to all so far as
the accommodation will allow. No seats are to be
allotted, assigned, or appropriated.

POLITICS AT BEADING.

The Oddfellows of Reading do not seem to have
benefited by much enlightenment on political
affairs from the members of Parliament who
spoke at their dinner in the Town Hall.
Sir F. Golsmid spoke very vaguely on edu-
cation. Mr. Shaw Lefevre excused his
reticence on the Irish Land question, on two
grounds—becauso he was a member of the Govern-
ment, and because he was ignorant of the measures
contemplated. The latter reason might have sufficed
for his not speaking on the subject. With
regard to trade, we were justified in now
looking forward to a brighter future. Mr. J.
Walter, referring to the measure which would
dispense justice between man and man in Ire-
land, hinted at assimilating the system of land tenure
in that country with the English system. A.
Government that had dealt with the Irish Church
would not find any insuperable difficulties with the
laud question. It was time that Government stepped
in between the parties contending on the subject of
national education, and introduced an effectual mea-
sure, in accordance with national traditions. Mr.
Walter announced his intention of recommending a
change in the present system of electing coroners,
and gavo a short exhortation on temperance.

TUE TURKS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Tall Mall Gazette has received information from
Belgrade which describes the effect produced upon Servian
politicians by the concentration of Turkish troops in Her-
zegovina. They believe that a secret convention has been
concluded between the Porte and the Vienna Cabinet, in
order to stifle the national movement among the
southern Slays. There can hardly be any doubt
that as long as the Porte remains quiet
Servia will remain quiet too. But as soon as
Turkish troops shall cross the Montenegrin frontier, or
Austrian troops attempt to act in the vicinity of the
Servian frontier, the Principality will rise immediately,
for the simple reason that there would be no possibiltyi
of imposing neutrality upon the population. Intelligence
from another source is also of a warlike character. The
Trieste Gazette states that a number of volunteers near the
Dalmatian frontier passed over to the Turkish territory,
and that Abdi-Pasha has marched against them with three

The 33d (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, now
stationed at Portsmouth, is under orders to proceed
to Aldershot on the 7th inst., and on arrival will
be quartered in L, P, and Q lines, South Camp,
recently vacated by the Ist Battalion 12th Foot.

The remainder of the military time-expired men
and invalids disembarked at Portsmouth Dockyard
yesterday morning from the Indian troopship
Serapis, Capt. J. C. Soady. The former were sent
by train to the depots of their respective regiments,
and the latter to the Royal Victoria Hospital,
Netley. The Serapis has commenced coaling, and
is appointed to leave Portsmouth on the 15th int.,
with draughts of various regiments, calling at
Queenstown to embark the 66th Regiment to relieve
the 83d Regiment. On the completion of this
voyage it is understood that the Serapis will be paid
off and recommissioned.

The paddlewheel steam frigate Terrible, 19, Capt.
John A. P. Price, from the West Indies, arrived in
Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. She left
Jamaica December 14, arrived at Bermuda on the
25th, sailed January 7, and brings from Jamaica
the crew of the gunboat Heron, and from Bermuda
the officers and crew of the iron turret ship Scorpion,
4, Captain G. A. C. Brooker, 40 supernumeraries
from the floating battery Terror, 16, Capt. George
Le G. Bowyear, C. 8., in all. 231 officers, seamen,

experienced a very stormy passage, mostly south-
west gales ; she would have gone to Queenstown
but for the very thick weather which prevailed ;
and it was expected she would proceed from Ply-
mouth to Portsmouth. The armour-plated ship
Royal Alfred, 18, Capt. Henry S. Hillyar, C. 8.,
sailed from Bermuda about the 9th of December
for the West Indies. Tile Terrible left at Bermuda

EDUCATION IN INDIA.

The prospects of educational progress in India are
encouraging. The Governer-General in council has sanc-
tioned the establishment of a university in the Punjab
to be styled the " Lahore 'University College." The sub-
scription from the imperial revenue is to equal the annual
income raised from private sources up to the sum of 1,000
rupees per annum. The special object of the college
is to diffuse a knowledge of European science through the
medium of the vernacular, and to afford encouragement
to the enlightened study of Eastern classical language and
literature. The Senate has already been nominated. The
annual report of the Principal of the Grant Medical College
at Thmbay is also encouraging. The number of matriculated
students has been steadily increasing, and this year the
list shows a total of 163 against 143 last year. The ver-
nacular classes have been well supported, and the Jackwar
of Earoda has been among the donors. The Principal has
submitted to the Government a plan for remodelling the
college, but as yet no decision has been arrived at.

SUNDAY TRADING.

An appeal case now in progress at the Justiciary
Appeal Court of the Court of Session, Glasgow, is
of considerable importance, as it involves
the whole question of Sunday trading. On the 13th
September two persons were fined for having pro-
faned the Sabbath Day by opening their shop for the
sale of confections. Mr. Smith, who supported the
appeal, contended that if the conviction were sus-
tained cabmen and railway companies and others
would be brought within the range of the statutes.
The criminal law, he argued, would never com-
pel the citizens to do what was properly
a duty to God ; it must be left to
public opinion to bring about the desired
result. In every considerable village, in Scotland,
he said, shops were opened on Sunday for
the sale of confections, and this shewed that
the statutes had virtually been in desuetude. To
this argument the Court objected, considering that
the fact mentioned only evidenced the necessity,
for a rigorous enforcement of the law. The argu-
ments have been adjourned in order that the Solicitor
General, who supported the conviction, might ex-
amine certain acts referred to during the proceedings.
The Scotch, it may be noted, have always supported
the observance of Sunday more rigorously than the
"Southrons."

GERMAN ACCOUNT.

The account of the reoent fighting on the Loire received
by the Cologne Gazette from Versailles places the number
of the army under General Aurelio de Paladine at 80,000.
This force was at first stationed to the south-east of Von
der Tann's Bavarians; but the German commander sud-
denly received intelligence that the French had made a
flank movement, and had crossed the Loire to the west-
ward, near Beaugency, about four miles below Orleans.
Der Tann at once sent this news to Versailles, adding
that the territory round Orleans, being principally com-
posed of vineyards, was unsuitable for military opera-
tions. and he consequently marched against the French
on November 8, taking a north-westerly direction, and
took up a position near Ormes, but continued his march
on the following day as far as Coulmiers, leaving a small
detachment at Orleans for the purpose of protecting
the 800 sicK and wounded Bavarians who were lying
there. "At Coulmiers he came in collision with the
enemy, who were marching towards Paris from Beau-
gency, and about whose strength he could have had no
doubt. For-several hours a lively artillery fire was kept
up between the two armies, which was certainly carried.
on with great spirit on the part of the French, proving
incontestably that the Army of the Loire is well sup-
plied with good and powerful artillery. This
occurred on the 9th. General von der Tann, who
knew that General Wittich, with the 22nd Division,
from Chartres, and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg,
with the 17th Division, and three cavalry divisions, were
hastening to his assistance, thought it unadvisable to
accept the unequal combat with an enemy so
vastly his superior in numbers, and therefore
withdrew his forces in good order during the evening
towards Toury, after having withdrawn the small gar-
rison from Orleans. He remained quietly at Coul-
miers on the 10th instant, without being molested
in the slightest degree by the enemy, who remained in
the position at first occupied by them, and
this fact leads one to the conclusion that the relief of
Paris will not be prosecuted with much energy. The
only movement on the part of the French was to detach
a corps for the re-occupation of Orleans, which, as already
described, they found abandoned by the Bavarians. The
only trophy which fell into their hands may be reckoned
the capture of a Bavarian ammunition column, who had
lost their way on the road to rejoin the main body. With
this column there were two so-called reserve guns, which
had become damaged and useless. In the meantime, our
forces remain at Toury, where, in all probability, they will
be joined to-clay by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, who
will assume the chief command of the Bavarian Corps,
together with the 17th and 22nd Divisions, as well as the
united cavalry divisions."

CATHOLIC EDUCATION.

The Very Rev. Mgr. Woodlock, Rector of the
Catholic University, Ireland, has addressed a letter
to the Catholic clergy of that country, in which he
says there is reason to hope that Mr. Gladstone,
having established the principle of ecclesiastical
equality, will, within the next few months,
extend the principle of equality to all
branches of public education in Ireland.
In 1570 the first attempt was made to introduce
Protestantism into Ireland by means of the Diocesan
Free Schools, which were placed on a permanent
basis by an Act of the Irish Parliament twenty
years before the foundation of Trinity College.
Since then numerous schemes have been tried,
and have failed. Referring to these failures the
Rector says that the Catholics of Ireland prove, on
the ono hand, their love of learning, and, on the
other hand, their determination to accept no system
which is not thoroughly in accordance with the
principles of the Catholic religion. He hopes that
their rulers will profit by the experienoe of the past,
and, instead of repeating experiments which have so
often failed, will give to the Irish Catholics a system
of education based upon, and interwoven with, the
religion which is conformable to the teachings of
the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

THE NEW GERMAN CONFRDERATION.

The difficulty of inducing the Bavarian Govern-
ment to give up the control of its mili-
tary and diplomatic affairs, and enter the
German Confederation, remains as great as ever.
Bavaria insists on modifications of the Federal Con-

stitution which will give her a nearly independent
position. All negotiations with the Bavarian
Minister have been for the time being abandoned at
Versailles, and the entry of the three other States of
the South provisionally under the present Consti-
tution, is being pressed forward. A change of
Ministers in Bavaria may alter matters, and the
return of Prince Hohenlohe to power is talked of.
Such a change would very likely produce a good
effect. The present Bavarian Ministry is Ultramon-
tane and Conservative; and though it cannot alto-
gether run counter to popular feeling, it is no friend
to Prussian aggrandisement.
THE LAW COURTS.

Again the question is asked, why are not the Law
Cc urts proceeded with ? Months ago it was sug-
gested that many thousand starving workmen might
find a job on the great desert adjoining the Strand;
the same thing is suggested now; but nothing is
done. Why do Messrs. Lowe and Ayrton wait?
They have not got all they want, but they
have obtained as much as they could expect. They
wanted to set aside the Carey-street site, and build
the courts in a back street of the Strand. Parlia-

ment refused to sanction this, but consented to
diminish the cost of the building on the original
site. Thus appeased, the Chief Commissioner, on
August Ist, took a vote of £21,450 for the cost of
getting in the foundations, announcing that the work
would be proceeded with immediately upon the
Royal Commissioners giving their assent to the mo-
dified design. This condition was fulfilled on the
very next day, when the Comissioners finally ap-
proved the plan. Again, then, why do they not
begin ? Are they working out an arithmetical
calculation, and estimating how long, if it required
several months to ask for a small vote, and several
months more before the small vote was spent, would
it require to lay the foundation and con-
struct the edifice? Such a problem would, indeed,
perfectly justify the delay. But is it credible on the
other hand that Messrs. Lowe and Ayrton, dis-
gusted because the new courts are not after their
plan, have determined that the public shall go with-
out as long as possible ?

ENGLISH DINNERS AND FASHIONS.

When the Baboo Chunder Son was in England ho
impressed upon many of his audiences the vanity
and absurdity of English people thinking so much of
dress and of what ate as they did. Like Nestor
Ironside, he thought ladies were scandalous enough
to wear machines like hooped petticoats, and head
ornaments, which it would puzzle any man to dis-
cover the "use of," and so he severely satirised and
reprimanded us. Mr. Sen must really have been
thoroughly astonished at the glaring folly he
thought he perceived among us, for in his long
journey out to India the memory of chignons and
crinolines and the splendour of English dinners did
not leave him. In his first speech at Bombay he
made use of the following expression :—" I think
there ought to be a protest against what is called
fashion' in England. It is a dangerous thing and
makes frightful progress. The tail of the ladies'
dress should be protested against, and the horrors
of English dinners ought to be protested against, and
if you, my countrymen, are really anxious to pro-
mote the welfare of your country, avoid these two
things. Import into your country all that is good in
England, but not the entanglements of ladies'
flounces or the fulsomeness of English banquets."

THE WAR.

FRENCH REPULSE AT BELFORT.
Yesterday (the 16th) the French made a sortie
4..1.0133. Belfort. The force consisted of three bat-
11°11s, with three guns ; but after some severe
fighting the French were repulsed, with the loss of
°Yer 200 killed and wounded and 60 prisoners.

AUSTRIA AND FRANCE.
The Lille papers publish a despatch from Vienna,
fitted November 15th, announcing that a popular
keeting had been held in that city to consider the
Position to be taken in the Franco-Prussian
e?naict. The assembly passed resolutions against
the continuation of hostilities by Prussia, denounc-
41g the right of conquest, and calling upon the
4
nstrian Government to sustain the French Re
Mlle by all means.

RUMOURED FRENCH SUCCESSES.
LILLE, Thursday.

The Echo du Nord says that rumours are current,
twaleh it publishes under reserve, that " reorts had
veep. received of a French success arounpd Paris,
aofhe attributing it to a sortie by General Trochu,
and others to a movement by the Army of the
.„
4,`..*ire, in which 40,000 Prussians and 15,000 French
were hors de combat.
The Gazette de Carnbrai believes that the German
1120Yement upon Chauny and the north is a feint to
der the enemy's real object—an attack upon
tkriliens.

THE EDUCATION ACT.

The Education Department of the Privy Council have
issued a schedule of instructions to the returning officers
in the approaching elections for the Metropolitan School
Board. Amongst these it is laid down-1. That the
voters are simply the ratepayers, whether the rates are in
arrear or not. 2. Where the owner is rated, the occupier
is to vote. 3. Claims by lodgers to be disallowed. The
rate-book, if properly made out, is a complete register of
the persons entitled to vote, and is to be so treated.
At a meeting of the Union Society of London the
following subject was submitted to discussion and nega-
tived : That the working classes ought to be directly
represented on the Metropolitan School Board." At the
meeting next Tuesday the following will be discussed :
" That this house deeply sympathises with France in her
present misfortunes, and on both moral and political
grounds strongly condemns the overbearing and grasping
policy of Prussia towards her."
A public meeting of the friends of scriptural education
was held on Tuesday night in the Town Hall Birming-
ham, under the presidency of Mr. William Matthews,
jun. The hall was crowded. Letters of apology were
announced from Lord Sandon, Mr. T. C. S. Kynnersley,
Mr. S. S. Lloyd, Mr. J. S. Hopkins, and
the Hon. and Rev. Grantham Yorke. After a
masterly address by the chairman, the Rev. Charles
Evans spoke, and moved a resolution in favour of the
teaching of the teaching of the Scriptures in rate-paid
schools.—Mr. Cooper seconded the resolution, which was
carried by an overwhelming majority.—The Rev. R. B.
Burges moved a resolution pledging the meeting to sup-
port the candidates nominated by the Education Union.
—Mr. Greening seconded the resolution, which was
carried.

THE BURNING OF THE SHIP JAPAN.—Telegraphic
information received in Liverpool of the burning of the
ship Japan, in August, when off Cape Horn, has been con-
firmed. Finding that their attempts to subdue the flames
were fruitless, the crew left in the boats, and were after-
wards picked up by the American ship Matchless. The
Japan was a new ship of 1,251 tons burden, and was owned
in Bath, Maine. It is understood that the loss of the ves-
sel and her cargo—a valuable one—is partly, if not wholly,
covered by insurance.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Disease is common to the palace and the cottage, and the,
best remedies are available alike to the tenants of each.
Holloway's well-esteemed Ointment and Pills can be
obtained everywhere at a moderate cost, and prove them-
selves the poor man's best friend when he is simply ailing
or, worse still, when the severity of his suffering forbids
the pursuance of his usual employment. Gout, rheumatic
gout, rheumatism, lumbago, nervous affections, neuralgia,
sciatica, stitches in the side, and pains in the joints, yield
to Holloway's Ointment. In these two medicaments
are combined all that science and invention can supply
for the relief of suffering humanity, and the restoration of
the afflicted to health, strength, and comfort.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The Master of the Rolls has this morning given judg-
ment in the case of a claim made by the West London
Wharves Company against the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company. The claim was for damages
sustained in consequence of an alleged breach of a con-
tract to buy land. His Lordship dismissed the summons,
and disallowed the claim of the Wharves Company.

RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, AND ENGL !dill

A Vienna journal, the Neue Wiener Tagblat
reports a conversation on the subject of the re-
cent action of Russia, which is said to have
taken place between Count Beust and the Russian
Ambassador at Vienna. The latter reminded Count
Beust that he had formerly expressed himself
not unfavcurable to the removal of the restrictions
on Russian activity in the Black Sea. To this Count
Beust replied that it was now no question whether
the proposals made by Russia are in themselves jus-
tifiable. If she wanted free access to the Black Sea,
she ought to have set about it in a proper manner,
obtaining the consent of all parties to the Treaty of
1856. By her present policy she assumed the right
to reject the whole treaty whenever it might suit her
to do so. The action of Austria would now depend
on the policy of the other Powers. The Imperial
Government had already placed itself in communi-
cation with the English Cabinet on the subject.

A PHILANTHROPIC MOVEMENT.

The members of the Royal Irish Academy, true to
their aim of fostering the cultivation of science,
literature, and archa3ology, have passed a resolution,
calling the attention of the Government to the irre-
parable loss that will be sustained if the scientific
and literary collections of Paris are suffered to be de-
stroyed in the war. The fate of the library at Stras-
burg has proved that the richgalleriea stored with art
and the costly museums of the French capital aro in im-
minent peril from the operations of the belligerents.
The members of the Academy, therefore, petition
the Ministry to use their utmost efforts to impress upon
the German and French authorities the duty of taking
every precaution for protecting these priceless trea-
sures and literary monuments from the dangers to
which the siege of Paris exposes them. If the collec-
tions, the accumulated labours of many generations,
are destroyed, it is not France alone, but the whole
civilised world, that will feel the loss of treasures
which no subsequent exertions might ever replace.
