ENGLISH SEATS.

Parties are already moving in East Suffolk. It is
expected that Sir A. Shafto Adair, who fought
Antrim unsuccessfully a little while ago, will make
an attempt to succeed the Hon. Henniker
Major. A meeting of the Liberal party will be
held on Monday to make final arrangements. The
Conservative candidate is not yet announced.
'There is likely to be a lively competition for
the seats which the disfranchisement of Beverley and
Bridgwater will leave undisposed of—albeit the mea-
sure for extinguishing the two corrupt boroughs
makes no provision for the redistribution of their
privileges. Luton thinks itself entitled to one seat,
so does Torquay and Dublin. Southport, in Lan-
cashire, also presents itself as a candidate. It
is represented that the number of inhabitants in
1851 was 4,675, but during the next ten years, as
appeared from the census of 1861, it had risen to
8,940. At the present time Southport, with Birk-
dale Park, contains a population of 20,000, and the
rateable value is about £90,000.

PRESBYTERIANISM AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.

There exists in the English Presbyterian Church
a division of opinion as to the desirability of using
instrumental music in its services. The subject was dis-
cussed at the meeting of the Synod. Dr. John Wright,
the chairman, asked the Synod to declare for liberty.
He denied that there was any scriptural authority
for a contrary course in reference to instrumental
music. The Rev. Mr. Johnstone enlivened the
discussion by observing that when he
left a quiet Scotch manse some time ago
he never dreamed that he was going to join an organ-
playing community in England. He should rather
expect the blessing of God in connection
with the use of the bagpipes, played with
all the intelligent energy and natural en-
thusiasm of the Highlanders, than in connection
with the use of mechanical contrivances played by
professional musicians. The Rev. T. Alexander, of
Chelsea, insisted that the confession of faith of the
Presbyterian religion shut out the use, not merely of
organs, but of all other forms of instrumental music.
After cw 4 ,yari resolutions and amendments, a ma-
pity decided in favour of instrumental music.

THE ANTI-VACCINATION MOVEMENT.

The vaccination question seems far from being satis-
factorily settled, even though the disciples of Dr. Jen-
ner may find powerful arguments in the prevalence
of the epidemic in Paris. Unfortunately the renewal
of the discussion among ourselves has not been harm-
less. There is always a lingering prejudice against
vaccination among the lower classes, and they quickly
catch up the arguments they hear put forward, and
cite the instances of bad health attributed (rightly or
wrongly) to vaccination. Four cases of parental ob-
stinacy in this respect have been brought before Mr.
Mansfield at the Marylebone Police-court. The first
summons was against a labouring man, who stoutly
refused to allow his child to be vaccinated, as
it was quite well and he wished to keep
it so. His other child had died from vaccination,
and he had a certificate to that effect. Mr. Mans-
field said he had a child of his own, and if any one
offered him a thousand pounds not to have it vacci-
nated he would throw it in his face, as he thought
he should by accepting it be a consenting party to
its deatli, He regretted the )4openeiLlat_ely ,talked

THE DUKE OP MONTPENSIER.

As might have been expected, the family of the
late Don Henry of Bourbon indignantly refuse to
accept the indemnity of £1,200 which has been
awarded to them by the court-martial before
which the Duke of Montpensier was tried. The
absurdity of imposing such a penalty was the
more glaring, as the Duke bad voluntarily offered
compensation to the family, and his offer had been
refused. Whatever punishment the Duke may have
deserved, thia fine was no punishment at all. The
partisans of Montpensier declare that the duel, instead
of injuring his candidature to the throne, has im-
proved it, and that he has now a majority
.of the
Cortes in his favour. Both Serrano and Prim are
said to be willing to support him,

A cable telegram makes the following statement :
—"Spanish accounts received from Cuba admit that
the insurgents, after a severe engagement, succeeded
in capturing Capitaino del Somo." We aro not
told what were the forces on each side, nor what
was the losS; but the engagement was severe. Now
it is only a very few days ago since General Caballero
de Rodas sent a glorious message to Madrid,
announcing for the fifth and sixth time,- that the
insurgents were completely " done for." Even the
American Consuls were of the same opinion. They
informed the Washington Government that the in-
sursurrection only lived as a sort of guerrilla war-
fare. And now we hear that the Spaniards hare
suffered defeat.

STRANGE PROCEEDINGS OF A FERMANAGH

Irvinestown, County Fermanagh, has given notice to all
his tenants that he will take the laud into his own posses.

ensuing half year, and of those who hold by lease
at the expiration of their leases ; and this, although they
do not owe one shilling of arrears, though his rents are all
paid to the day. Mr. Irvine has also announced in tho
Enniskillen press his intention to publish several letters
upon political topics. A letter on the Irish Land Bit
will be addressed to Mr. Gladstone ; a letter to the Earl o:
Derby on Emigration; and an article on the Government
of Ireland as regards the local magistracy and police. Mr.
Irvine announces himself as " M.A., Queen's scholar, and
Moderator T. C.D. ; superseded J. P. ; rejected candidate
for the office of High Sheriff for twenty years by the

LAW INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY.

DIVORCE COURT.
THE MORDAUNT CASE.
This celebrated case was again mentioned in the
Divorce Court this morning.

Dr. Deane, Q. 0., who represents Sir Thomas
Moncreiffe, the father and guardian of Lady Mor-
daunt, said on Thursday last his lordship mentioned
the case of " Mordaunt v. Mordaunt." It appeared
that the solicitor for the respondent had not, through
an oversight, lodged his case, and be 'Or. Deane)
asked that this might be allowed to be done. This
morning, however, he was told it would be highly
dangerous to Lady Mordaunt's case to have it argued
on Wednesday, and also a great personal inconve-
nience on the other side.

Dr. Spinks, for Sir Charles Mordaunt, replied that
he had not received any instructions.
Lord Penzance said he could not accede to the
application, and the case will now, in all probability,
be heard before the Court on Wednesday next, upon
the legal points raised in the first instance by Dr.
Deane as to whether Lady Mordaunt can be called
upon to plead, and whether her insanity is a bar to
this being done.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(Tim DAY).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Four young men, named Dennis Harrington,
Michael Donovan, George Cousins, and James
Mahony, were charged, before Mr. Knox, as sus-
pected persons. It appeared that the ponce saw the
prisoners and another man in White Lion-street late
at night following a gentleman, and afterward sur-
rounding a lady and gentleman, and as soon as they
made their appearance the prisoners ran away, but
were pursued and taken into custody, the officers
knowing three of them to be. companions of thieves.
Harrington was discharged, but the others were
sent to prison for three months' hard labour each.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

THE LIBERAL MAJORITY.
Assuming it to be a good thing, observes the Satu:rclay
Pcview, that the Liberal party should exhibit a consider-
able variety in its composition, we acknowledge that
these varying elements should only express and develope
themselves within moderate limits. But there is no,
reason at present to fear any exxcess of Liberal opposi-
tion. There is nothing like a split in the Liberal party,
nor anything approaching to the beginning of a split.
The Conservatives announce that they are waiting for
such a split, and are keeping quiet till it occurs. Every
Liberal party splits up, therefore this Liberal party will
split up, is their simple logic. But there is no ground
whatever for thinking that this Liberal party is going to
split up now. And there are many good grounds for
thinking that it will keep together. In the first place, the
constituencies would abhor a split, and hold the ten-or of
refusing re-election over the heads of those who might begin
to thwart their wishes. In the next place, the Ministry
is in thorough harmony with the Liberal party. Excep-
tion may, of course, be taken to this or that portion of the
conduct of the Ministry. The Chancellor has shewn un-
expected weakness in his Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, and.
Mr. Gladstone has, we trust only for a time, allowed him-
self to be puzzled out of the boon he meant to confer on
the Irish tenants. But these are very small matters if
we take the whole relations of the Government and the party.
There is no assignable ground of difference between them
and their supporters ; and therefore the Liberal opposi-
tion they have to encountor is of a very mild sort, and has
no root of bitterness in it. And, lastly, there is this
peculiar weakness in the Liberal opposition at present,
that there is no one to lead it. The Ministry has been
constructed on so wide a basis that there is no Liberal of
anything like eminence, or promise of eminence, outside
of it. All sections of the party are represented in the
Ministry, and all the conspicuously able politicians of the
party are provided with places. There are many men of
good practicable ability on the Liberal side not in office,
and there are the usual number of lawyers pushing on for
their appropriate promotion in rotation, but there is no
one outside the Ministry of whom his admirers would say
at once that he ought to be in it. There is nothing there-
fore at present for Liberals to fear in the recent dissensions
of the party ; and such opposition as theirs is has certainly
not transgressed the boundary of healthy independence,
even if it reached it.

THE ESAIOND WILL CASE.

The termination of the Esmond will case in the Dublin
Court of Probate has been already announced. Mr.
Macdonogh, Q.C. (on the part of the plaintiff), applied
for a decree to admit the will to proof, and said ho
was happy to say that all further litigation in
the matter had been put an end to, and all parties had
entered into a consent of the 20th April, 1870, whereby
the plaintiff should have immediate grant of probate
and the defences should be withdrawn, and that all oppo-
sition to the plaintiff should be waived. The defendants
should have their costs out of the assets, and they may
retain the chattels bequeathed to them by the original
draftwill, the heirlooms to go to Lord Granard, with the
house furniture and pictures, at the valuation already
made. Judge Warren said he was glad the case had termi-
nated in such a satisfactory manner_

THAMES.

A sturdy, well-fed, healthy-looking man, who gave
the name of William Smith, aged 48 years, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with obtaining
admission to the casual ward of the Poplar Union,
as a destitute pauper, under false pretences. The
superintendent of the casual ward said the prisoner
came there last night with an order from the police
for his admission, and he had his supper, and was
shown into the sleeping ward. He began to search
the casuals, when a movement on the part of the
prisoner aroused his suspicions, and he reached one
of his boots, in which he discovered 4d. in coppers,
and in the other a very handsome ivory and silk
purse, with a half sovereign in the middle compart-
ment, and two florins, one at each end of the purse.
The prisoner carried a bag. It was well stored with
bread, pieces of beef, mutton, and pork, and bits of
cloth. Mr. Paget said it was a gross imposition for
a man to go into a casual ward for the utterly des-
titute with 14s. 4d. and a large bag full of good food
in his possession. He remanded the prisoner for a
week.

INGENUITY IN SMUGGLING.

A very ingenious system of smuggling, which has been
tarried on for the last year in New York, has just been
brought to light. Some months ago an eminent merchant
in that city received an anonymous letter, stating that if
he would engage to pay a thousand pounds, the writer
would place in his hands information to lead to
the detection of a gang of smugglers who, during
the past year had succeeded in smuggling into the country
silks to the value of £lOO,OOO sterling. The merchant
laid this letter before the collector of the port of New
York, and he handed the matter over to a clever detec-
tive. The detective, after some little difficulty, obtained
an interview with the anonymous writer. The
latter, however, was unable to supply legal evidence,
but he gave the names of the parties their relations
towards one another, and the bankers with whom they
did business. The detective then put himself in commu-
nication with the bankers, and was allowed to examine
the books. By their means he was at length able
to discover the fraud. The manner of conducting the
smuggling was, very ingenious. A man in Paris on a
fictitious invoice, purporting to be of human hair of the
value of 100,000 f., but really of cheap cotton goods of the
value of perhaps, 5,000 f., obtained an advance of say
70,000 f. from the bankers, and then with the balance
bought silk, which was sent to New York, and paid
duty as cheap cotton.

vote of £2,000,000 for the undertaking was asked for
from Parliament, and it was then stated by the Go-
vernment, that they did not contemplate the possi-
bility of an expenditure at greatest of £4,000,000 and
that probably all cost would be met by the first-men-
tioned grant. Shortly afterwards it was found, how-
ever, that owing to payments required for the Indian
forces, and needed in Abyssinia itself, the cost would
be higher -than this estimate, and further votes of
credit were demanded. Finally it was found that the
total expenditure reached to exactly £8,800,000. The
select committee have discovered that whereas it was
at first supposed that the expenditure would be
completed in April 1868, the lasetransport ship was
not paid off till the September following, and the
troops were not back at their stations in India till
October. From April till September, therefore,
money was being expended which was not properly
guaranteed for in the estimates. It also was made
apparent to the committee that the first estimate at
all events, namely that of November, really was
no estimate, but a "memorandum for the information
of the Secretary of State" prepared "only as a
matter of official courtesy and convenience " by an
Officer of the Indian Department who was not then
under the impression that he would be responsible to
Parliament for it.

IRISH SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE.
The Fenian French sympathisers in Dublin have
become very excited and incensed at the French
reverses, and as an Irish mob when infuriated is a
most dangerous one, the peaceful-minded among the
citizens are exceedingly anxious that the processions
should be pronounced illegal. General opinion,
indeed, throughout the kingdom favours this view,
and not a little surprise is expressed at the leniency
exhibited by the Irish Executive in the matter of
these disturbing and inflammatory ambulations. On
Monday evening, until midnight, bodies of men in
numbers from 500 to 1,500 marched through the
streets preceded by bands playing the " .Marseillaise
and Fenian airs alternately. Occasionally howls
and execrations were heard from a hundred throats.
This was notably the case when a crowd of pro-
cessionists arrived at the _Wail newspaper office
in Parliament-street. This building is di-
rectly opposite the old Irish People news-
paper premises, and the windows were placarded
with the announcement of tho Prussian victory. The
old associations connected with the People office,
and the glaring manner in which the Orange news-
paper made the French defeat known, jointly in-
duced the fierceness and dissatisfaction exhibited.
The bands were played. with increased vigour and
cheers were raised, as the mobs passed Coffey's Hotel,
where Dr. McHalle, Bishop of uam, and late of the
Irish College, Paris, is stopping.

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.

While the Emperor is being borne down by the
reverses of his army, and the heart of France is send-
ing its pulsations from the Pyrenees to the Rhine,
the unfortunate (or fortunate) soldiers who were made
prisoners at Weissenburg are being lionised. About
600 passed through Frankfort a few days ago, and
the population turned out en masse to see the men,
who not many weeks ago entertained strong hopes
of entering the city ‘, conquerors. The prisoners
were received well, and an eye-witness declares that
" they were treated just like our soldiers, and got
plenty of beer, sausages, and cigars." To be marched
through an enemy's city would try the dignity of
the most humble, but with the exception of one old
captain, who remained sulky and refused everything,
the prisoners were not at all ,backward in accepting
the good cheer provided for them. The Turcos had
few punctilios, and with the easy philosophy of
children of nature, tried to make the best of their
position. They offered their epaulettes for sale, and
then the buttons of their coats, when they saw
what good customers they had. Happy Turcos !
what are epaulettes and buttons to them now, com-
pared with beer and tobacco ?

THE PLOT AGAINST BELGIUM.

The Wiener Tagblatt of Vienna contains a state-
ment from General Stephen Turr, on the subject of
the proposed Belgian annexation. He says that
before the battle of Sadowa the Emperor Napoleon
had been repeatedly urged by Count Bismarck to
annex Belgium and Luxemburg to France, but the
Emperor refused to do so. As might be expected,
this announcement has caused a great sensation. In
referenco to the late disclosures which have been
made by the Cabinets of Paris and. Berlin, the
Belgian Government has expressed its thanks to
Count Beust for the part he has recently taken, and
for his intervention in the late dispute with France
about the German railways.

TEMPLE BAR.

This historically interesting monument is shortly
to be removed from its place in the leading thorough-
fare of London. Too long has it been allowed to
impede the traffic, and threaten danger to the lives
of human beings and horses. Its present unsafe
condition may be judged of when we re-
mind our readers that so far back as
1868 it was pronounced to be in a most perilous
state of derapidation, and nothing has been done to
it in the way of renovation since that time. Even
,Mr. Ayrton, the Chief Commissioner of Works, is
alive to the importance of its withdrawal from
Fleet-street. One of his statements on Monday,
that " everybody felt that the arch was devoid of
all interest, artistic, or otherwise," may be ques-
tioned by the Archmological Society and by anti-
quarians less ostensive, but considerations of its
value as a relic ought to become subservient to the
need of open communication through a great city.
Temple Bar, as a place of positive use, seems only
suitable to the hairdresser who has a small shop in
one of its pillars, or to Members of Parliament
who refer to it when making speeches with refer-
ence to the difficulties of getting half a dozen bills
through the Legislature at once. The old City arch, it
may be stated, is chiefly interesting as the work of
Sir Christopher Wren; and as Londoners seem,
justly, very anxious to preserve the works of so dis-
tinguished an architect, its removal, it may be ex-
pected, will not mean its destruction. Temple Bar
was completed in 1672.

THE COMMERCE OF THE EAST.

While we in Europe are engrossed with the horrors
of a devastating war our fellow subjects in the East
are rejoicing over the more peaceful triumphs of human
skill, science, and resolution. The Anglo-Chinese
papers are greatly impressed by the advantage con-
ferred on commerce by the S uez Canal, of which one of
them mentions-a striking illustration. Some samples of
cloth and of cotton yarn were brought. to the Secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce at Hongßong, by
the steamer Danube, made from the very cotton which
that vessel took to Liverpool from Bombay on her
previous voyage. The Danube left Bombay on the
12th of February, with 4,000 bales of cotton,
and arrived at Liverpool on the 22nd of .11Iarch.-
Her cargo was unloaded in nine hours,
,and
part of the cotton was immediately bought '
on behalf of some cotton spinners at- Huddersfield,
reaching their mills on the 25th. It was immediately
taken in hand, and four days later, seven days after
its arrival in England, samples of the-

THE PR,ITSSIAN AND FRENCH SOLDIERS.

The Daily Hews remarks that unless . all who have
undertaken to, compare the physique of the French and
German soldier are mistaken, the Germans have great
natural advantages over their adversaries. Their
soldiers are stronger men, and can bear more fatigue,
walk further, and fight longer than the French.
More than Oat, they are better instructed in their duty
And here it is remarkable that the only persons who hay
tinfavourably criticised the French army so soon i
this war are Frenchmen. . The French Corps
d'Elite—the Zouaves, of European blood and African
schooling, with martial front and springing panther-like
tread, and the Chasseurs-a-pied, the best trained in-
fantry in the world—are universally admired. But the
body of the army is defective. An observer so intelli-
gent and patriotic as M. Edmond About, writing from the
front, says that a large number of the troops do not know
their trade, and that they hinder the others. " Many of
them are too young and too new to the service. Many of
the reserve still have to learn how to manage the Chas-
sepot ; they are only acquainted with the old-fashioned
piece. These men are drafted off into other companies,
which they. weaken instead of reinforcing. Such con-
scripts fire at random like wild things ; they are subject
to panic, disorder, and demoralise the old soldiers:"

THE WAR.

The North German Consul at the port of Shields has
received copies of a proclamation by his Majesty the King
of Prussia, dated the 24th July, respecting the formation
of a volunteer naval force, and requesting him to make
the same known to the captains and crews of all North
German ships at present in the port or that may arrive
there in time. It is reported that a Northern gentleman
has submitted a new projectile to the Prussian Govern-
ment which has been very favourably received. A num-
ber of Germans left the Tyne for the war yesterday.

ANOTHER FRENCH BALTIC FLEET OFF

THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER ON THE
WAR.

The Bishop df Manchester, preaching on Tuesday at
Manchester in behalf of day and Sunday schools, referred
thus to the war : " After the strange revelations that have
been made of the motives that have been stirring of the
hearts of princes and statesmen for six years or more, the
one thing that amazes me about this terrible war more
than another is its criminal, its astounding wickedness.
That emperors and statesmen, to gratify their inordinate
ambition to prop up a tottering dynasty, or even with the
higher object of consolidating a great nation, should be
ready to shed blood like water, and carry out their guilty
purposes at whatever cost of angdsh, misery, and desola-
tion inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of their fellow-
creatures, is an awful thought. There may have been
righteous wars in the history of the human race ; I fear
they have been few, but if I dare to interpret the verdict
of posterity upon this war, I cannot befleVe that, lio'w-
ever its history may be gilded by heroisffi, or hdweyer
much it may be ennobled by patriotic feeling,, it will ever
be justified as righteous."

STRATEGY OF THE CAMPAIGN.

is somewhat straw that the' Prinsians" should be,
by Conwiison with 1866, so tardy in following up their first
successes. Various explanations way be assigned for such
a departure from' the course of strategy which led them
to Sadowa. rt is.evident that the Prussian army, as a
whole, was not -ready to take the offensive against France,
and that, but for the inexplicable delays of the Emperor,.
the attack of the enemy would have been awaited on the
line of th'i Rhine. At the same time it_may be con-
ceived that the CroiVn Prinee, with the Third Army,
around Alannhehm and in the Palatinate---an armY
at least half as poVferful as tho entire French
force between Thionville and the Rhine—was destined
to strike a heavy blow fit the flank and rear of the
invaders, as they pressed northwards into German terri,
tory. In this enterprise he would -probably have been
qecouded by a Fourth Army, crossing the Rhine above
'Strasburg ; while Frederidk , Charles and Steinmitz,
making a stiff but not a desperate resistance, drew the
French onward to the Rhine, and opened up their com-
munications to the Crown Prince's attack. Such a plan of
camptiign, of course, would necessarily Involve a higher
state of ,readiness for aggressive open dions on the
Dere of the Third `Arniy:-,--since the First and
cocottd had v* to.await, or to invite by their compara-
