THE EPISCOPAL BENCH.

Mr. Gladstone has made his tenth appointment to
a bishopric. Hs has possessed an extraordinary
amount of patronage since his accession to power,
and has caused the aspect of the episcopal bench to
be materially altered. The senior bishop
at the present time is Dr. Thirlwall, of St.
David's. Dr. Samuel Wilberforce is second to him,
having been appointed in 1840, -whereas Dr. Thirl-
well has occupied his position since 1840. The latter
is the last remaining of Lord Melbourne's bishops,
and the former the last of Sir Robert Peel's. Dr.
011ivant, of Llandaff, remains from Lord Rus-
sell's administration, and Dr. Jackson, for-
merly of Lincoln, now of London, is the
survivor of Lord Aberdeen's creations. Lord Pal-
merston made a great many nominations, and eight
of his bishops survive, including Dr. Tait, whom Mr,
Disraeli raised to the Primacy. The nominations of
the present Premier have certainly caused more interest
throughout the country than those of former Ministers
on account of the prominence of religious questions
of the day. Every appointment has been picked to
pieces to such an extent that Mr. Gladstone must
really be glad that he is not very likely to have much
more patronage, according to the natural order of
things, there being little chance of more vacancies for
some time to come. propos of bishops, the Globe
thinks that Wales should be satisfied with the ap-
pointment to the Lee of St. A saph. Dr, Hughes
has long Wen known in the parish of Llandovery as
a thorough worker and an affable and sympathising
man.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

OXFORD, Friday Evening.
Another change has taken place in the crew, Mr .
R. Tahourdin, St. John's, one of the best members
of the boat, having been compelled to relinquish his
chance of rowing through indisposition. The presi-
dent, fortunately, had a good man to fall back upon
in the person of Mr. Mirehouse, University, who
rowed bow when the crew was first formed, and
has been in and out of the boat ever since.
The change necessitated the removal of Mr. Wood-
house, University, from No. 1 to No. 6, for Mr. Mire-
house to occupy his former position. With these
changes Mr. Willan, of Exeter, coached the crew
from his steed over the "long course"---the distance,
44 miles, being accomplished in 20 min. 45 ace., the
wind and stream being favourable. The time is re-
markablY good, and will bear favourable comparison
with that of previous years. On Monday or Tuesday
we understand' hey will try conclusions with a picked
" eight" of Oxford watermen over the short course,
and will leave Oxford on the following Wednesday
or Thursday for their head-quarters at the White
Lion, Putney.

CAMBRIDGE, Friday.

The men have been doing very hard work all the
week, and many of their friends fear the labour is
excessive, especially as the day of the race is as yet
s) distant. They went yesterday to Ba'tsbi,e, and
to-day take the twenty-miles row to Ely, returning
by traia. Their friends arc in some measure de-
pressed by the news that Mr. Darhi-hire will avail)
take the stroke oar for Oxford; but this will wear
off gradually, es th ! crew are a big, strong lot of
knows, averaging 12st., and arc doing ai well as can
be expected under Mr. George Morri,on.

More intimidation is being practised at Thorneßac,

DAIRY PRODUCE IN LIVERPOOL.

Mr. Norman Tate has been lecturing at Liverpool
on "Home Chemistry," and his revelations in regard
to the preparation of milk and butter are not at
all likely to increase the Liverpool ttppetite
for these household necessaries. During the
last few years, he says, he has testel many speci-
mens of milk sold in different distiicts in Liver-
pool, and found that adulteration by water averagei
from 9 to 25 per cent. Excepting water, he
found no foreign matter which he could stigma-
tise as objectionable, save sugar, which- is
commonly added to conceal the watering process.
In the matter of butter, however, it was different. One
specimen of cream containedf chalk starch, a substanc3
which Mr. Tate believed to be the brains of some ani-
mal, and perhaps a little milk. Butter that contained
cheesy matter he says quickly becomes rancid. As to
Liverpool butter, ho could not say so much for the
kratterman as the milkman. Butter, he added, was
inimigakeably adulterated ti a very large extent,
chiefly by animal fats, which were not absolutely
injitrious, though an ob]eotionable substitute for
genuine graEs-fed butter.

LORD NORTHBROOK'S COMMITTEE.

The Pall Mall Gazette learns that General Lefroy,
the Director-General of Ordnance at the War Office,
has resigned his post, though whether in consequence
of the position assigned to him by Lord North-
brook's committee is not at present known.
A. passage in the report recommended that
the Director-General of Ordnance should be retained
as a purely consultative officer, and a standing member
of the Ordnance Council, without a staff of elerks.
It seems probable, therefore, that General Lefroy is
hurt at finding his position likely to be so injure 1,
and has in consequence anticipated the event by
resigning. Committees cannot please everyone by
their emendations, and the best measures must at
tunes injure individual interests.

WAR OFFICE CLERICS.
The War Office clerks who are to be dispensed
With will receive more liberal treatment than the
dockyard-men. All those who volunteer to
retire on pensions before the 15th of April
will be paid till salaries to the end of the
year, and will be allowed any other benefits
which such a prolongation of actual service would
have brought them in the way of increased salary or
superannuation allowance. All those who count
twenty years' service will have ten years added on in
reckoning their pensions, and in like manner fifteen
years' service will carry an addition of seven, and
ten years an addition of five years. The Pall Mall
Gazette, which makes this announcement, says that
the increased cost will be small, whilst the benefit
to those concerned will be great.

THE BALLOT AND ITS SUBSTITUTES.

The Pall Mall Gazette is disposed to believe that if some
years ago three changes had been made in the conduct of
elections, the end which it is now proposed to attain by
the Ballot would have been so far secured as to content
most reasonable people. 'The disuse of nominations would
have removed the-occasion on which the riotous element
principally shows itself ; :the. closing of public-houses
would have done away. with treating ; and the pro-
hibition to pUblisli the" state of the poll until
all the votes had been taken would have closed
the door against the most•reckless and extravagant type
of bribery. We do not say that upon the introduction
of these changes all corruption and intimidation would
have fled away. One condition would still have been
wanting, the necessity of which to a really pure and free
election is too often lost sight of: We suspect, however,
that the ballot will be equally ineffectual in this respect.
It will not, any more than the other remedies we have
named, create political convictions in the voters. This
is the real cure and the only adequate cure for electoral
vice. Once teach the voter to regard the franchise as a
means of bringing about a political object that he cares
for, and the problem is solved.

We understand that the Mines Regulation Bill is
not likely to go into committee until after Easter. This
intimation hae, we believe, been given by the Home Secre-
tlry to the Mining Association. We are glad to find that
a little more time is to be given to the consideration of
this important measure. As it at present stands, we have
no hesitation in characterising it as a most unfair and one-
sided measure, and one that would in many respects b:
impracticable,—lron and Coal Trade., 14evie w.

WELSH BISHOPS FOR WALES.

The Te7egraph says the appointment of a genuine
Welshman to a Welsh Bishopric is an event which deserves
more than a simple passing notice. At the present time,
Welsh is the living language of seven hundred thousand
dwellers in the Principality, and is understood by a great
many more who do not habitually speak it. In a remarakble
letter addressed to Mr. Gladstone by a Welsh
clergyman, the Reverend H. T. Edwards, we find
it stated that nine weekly newspapers, eighteen
monthly magazines, and two quarterlies, all pub-
lished in the native language, enjoy a prosperous circula-
tion in Wales; and, what is still more striking, that " the
majority of these are almost exclusively read by the work-
ing classes." It must be borne in mind, too, that many of
the natives who profess to speak our language can boast
nothing more than an imperfect colloquial knowledge, and
are, therefore, utterly at sea when listening to a set ser-
mon in English. Yet, in the face of these facts, we have
for the last two centuries been guilty of the astounding
folly of appointing Englishmen to Welsh. Sees! The
natural result is before us, in.the alienation of a majority
of the population of Wales from the Es'Ablished Church.
Those know little about hr nvan nature who make
light; of the influence on the heart and mind
exercised by the tones of what is called, with fitting,
pathAs, a mother tongue. The impressions- of childhood
are proverbially the most indelible. The mind of a man
is like one of those ancient manuscripts that are covered
with successive layers of writing, of which the last alone
is visible; but the application f a chemical test reveals
all the rest. There is a well-known story of the Swiss
troops in foreign service, who were constrained by home-
sickness to desert in numbers whenever they heard the
melodies of their native valleys, so that it was found ne-
cessary to prohibit the playing of Swiss airs by military
bands. In sending among the Welsh, therefore, genera-
tion after generation of bishops who could not address
their flocks in their native lanz,ua,ge, we have done our
best to make Episcopacy a thing of no power among
them ; and the wonder is that it maintained its influence
so long.

THE QUESTION OF THE COLONIES.

The Post takes it for granted that the Cannon-street
Committee is not only dead and buried, but that its acts
are repudiated by the colonies and that we shall hear of
it no more. One of its contentions was that our indiffer-
ence was tending to drive the colonies into a declaration of
independmce. The Executive Council of Queensland
are clearly not of this opinion. They say that when-
ever a serio3s intention shall be shewn in the
British Parliament to break the Imperial tie, the colonists
" will claim their right to be heard against a deprivation
of their position and rights as Englishmen without their
consent." This is not the language of men who are being
weaned from their attachment to the mother country by a
policy either of indifference or injustice. The Colonies
know the value of their connection with the mother
country, and they are unwilling to forfeit it for the
empty honour of independence, by which they would
gain nothing more than they possess, while they would
be likely to lose much. We, for our part, should
be sorry to witness the severance of ties which are honour-
able to us, and which have not been without utility ; but
we are confident that the greatest service we can render to
the colonies is to leave them as much as possible to their
own resources. If war comes, it will be time enough then
to determine what armed aid we can render them. Neither
the will nor the power are iikely to be wanting. Till then,
h )wever, they will find their best help in self-help, and Iwe
should rather injure them than serve them if we did
anything to divert their attentirn from this the safest of
all reliatc:s.

A REFORM WANTED.

The Daily News observes that the public is waiting for
Mr. Bruce to redeem his promise to bring in a bill to deal
with the system by which licences are now granted to
public-houses and beershops. Meanwhile, that this subject
has not escaped the attention of the Government was
shewn by a remark recently made by Mr. Gladstone, who
spoke of the forthcoming measure as one to diminish the
temptations to crime. Whatever the contemplated bill
may be, it will at any rate not be open to the charge of
prematurely dealing with the subject. The system under
which the trade in intoxicating liquors is now carried on
satisfies nobody. The traffic is fettered without being
regulated, and is kept in leading strings without being
kept in order. The magistrates who administer the law
are dissatisfied with it ; the publicans who are under it
complain against it ; and the public, who look on and
suffer, agree that it must be altered. The beerhouse-
keepers have a grievance against the licensed victuallers,
and the licensed victuallers have a standing quarrel with
the grocers ; while a large part of the public, even omit-
ting the teetotallers, have a controversy with the whole
system under which the trade is regulated. Without
attempting to indicate what a new system might be, we
may at once say that no system can be worse than the
present. A kind of inexplicable caprice runs through all
the decisions of the magistrates. Sometimes there
is a division, and the license is carried or lost like a bill in
Parliament ; once, at least, a license was granted on a
casting vote of the chairman. This is not regulating a
trade—it is something like leaving it to chance. The
magistrates, of course, act to the best of their ability ; but
as they have no:; clear principle to guide them, and not
often a distinct -policy to act on, they drift aimlessly into
confusion. Our licensing system needs, in fact, to be re-
modelled, and the, remodelling must begin by finding some
better, more resPOnsible, and more intelligent body to ad-
minister and enforce the law.

A BISHOP'S PROTEST.

Tho Bishop of Winchester writes to the Times on
tho subject of the charge of intoleranze brought
against him by Mr. Wintabetham, M.P., in his speech
on the education question. his lordship doos not wish
to make any personal justification, but it appears to
him that far greater interests are involved in the matter.
The bon, member for Stroud has unintentionally mis-
interpreted words of his (the bishop's) in a manner
that is calculated to stir up those passions on the
education subject that are, most earnestly deprecated
by him, It vas stated that his lordship had said that

" HYMNS ANCIENT AND MODERN."

The Bishop of Durham has refuted a mis-
representation. The clergymen of South Shields,
having resolved to adopt the " Hymns
Ancient and Modern " in their several churches,
considerablo discussion has taken place on the
matter. The Newcastle Daily Express says that
it having been freely stated in South Shields that
the Bishop of Durham's opinion regarding this
hymnal was that it was "the best collection out," a
gentleman in the borough wrote to his lordship to
ask if such was the case. Ilis lordship, in reply,
said he had never expressed any approbation of
" Hymns Ancient and Modern." On the contrary,
be had frequently stated that he considered some of
the hymns objectionable, and many of them
rubbish.

APPROPRIATION ACCOUNTS.
Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART asked] the Secretary of the
Treasury if he would inform the House why the appro-
priation accounts, which were ordered by the law to be
laid before Parliament on the 15th of February, the 31st
of January, or within one week after the meeting of Par-
liament, together with the reports of the Comptroller and
Auditor General thereon, have not yet been delivered to
members.
Mr. STANSFELD said the appropriation accounts had
been laid on the table ; the other civil service estimates
would not be ready for the next ten days.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Mr. PIM askel the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether
he was awara of the inconvenience and expense to which
the inhabitants of cities and towns in Ireland are fre-
quently obliged Ito submit for, want of legislation analo-
gous to "The Local Government Act, 1833," and " The
General Police and Improvement (Scotland) Act,
1862," and whether he intended in accordance with the
promise made by Lord Mayo on the 26th of March, and
on the 29th of June, 1868, to introduce a bill for extend-
ing- to Ireland the benefit; secured to England and Scot-
land by these Acts.
Mr. Fortescue said a bill on the subject was in prepara-
tion, and would be introduced after Easter.
London, England, 1870-03-19

DOCKYARD WORKMEN.

Mr. MORRISON asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether the Government had power to commute the super-
annuation allowance of workmen discharged from the
dockyards for a lump sum, to enable such workmen
to emigrate.

Mr. STANSFELD said the Treasury had, under its consti-
tution, power to do so, but it had been thought unde-
sirable to exercise it. The Admiralty would consider all
cases that might be sent to them.
London, England, 1870-03-19

REGENT'S PARK.

Mr. PLIMSOLL asked the Chief Commissioner of Works
whether it was his intention to enclose the whole of the
Regent's Park with a railing similar to that recently
erected on the south-east corner of it ; or whether he did
not think that a less lofty and ponderous structure, which
would not exclude the view of the park from the people
passing on the exterior of the railing, would not be pre-
ferable.

Mr. AYRTON said it was not intended to extend the
railing in question, as the inhabitants objected to them as
obstructing the view of the park from the windows.

THE IRISH MAGISTRACY.

Mr. CALLAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland

whether, in view of the large and increased powers pro-
posed to be given to magistrates presiding at reLty sesions
in Ireland under the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill,
the Government had taken into consideration the present
constitution of the Irish magistracy. And whether the
Government considered the mode of nominating to and
the constitution cf that body satisfactory; and, if not,
were the Government prepared to take immediately all the
neeessary measures to revise the list and the mode of
appointment, so as to secure for that body the respect and
confidence of the Irish people.
Mr. C. FOaTESCUE said the question raised the whole
constitution of the unpaid magistracy, and he was not
prepared to say that the course poid'ed out by the hon.
member would be taken.
WASTE LANDS.

Mr. JAMES HOWARD asked the First Lord of the

Treasury whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's
Government to rely upon the operation of clause 40 (Irish
tLand Bill) for the reclamation of the water-logged valleys
and the waste lands of Ireland.
Mr. GLADSTONE replied that Government would look
to the operation of clause 40, for the reclamation of the
waterlogged valleys and the waste lands. With regard to
the clause, not including proper provision for it, that
would be a matter for future consideration.
ENLISTMENT. ,
Uolonel CHARLES LINDSAY asked the Secretary of tate
for War whether it was not his intention to give soldiers
who enlist upon the conditions of the new scheme for re-
cruiting the army the option of re-engaging, by successive
periods or otherwise, up to the twelve years of their en
gagement, provided their characters and health are good;
whether, if at the expiration of that period with the
standards (provided their characters and health as sol-
diers are still good) they would not have the option of re-
engaging for 9 years rnore,according to the existing system.
Mr. CARDWELL announced that when a 'soldier wished
to re-engage under such circumstances, and when the
authorities wished his services, he might re-engage for a
period of nine years. It would not strictly speaking be a

ease of option on the part of the soldier, the option being
reciprocal on both sides. With regard to the other por-
tion of the question, the obj ect was to incorporate them in
existing battalions when emergency required.

PROFESSOR CAIRNES ON TENANT RIGHT.

Professor Cairnes writes to the Daily News, calling
attention to a plan of tenant-right founded on some
suggestions made by Judge Longfield in his essay in
the Cobden Club volume, It is proposed by the.
plan to confer on every tenant farmer in Ireland
the right of purchasing "parliamentary tenant-
right" at' a certain numbn of years' purchase
of his rent—say for the purpose of illus-
tration, seven. The purchase money in the
case of an ordinary tenant would be made up of
three elements A certain sum to be allowed for
occupation right; 2. a certain further sum in consi-
deration of permanent improvements effected
on
..the land; 3. the balance, which is now
paid in cash. Thus, supposing a tenant
holding a farm of fifty acres- at a rent of
per acre, his tenant-right at seven years' purchase of
the rental, would amount to £350, which might be
made up as follows :—Occupation right, value say at
two years' purchase, £lOO ; outlay on permanent im-
provements, £100; cash, £l5O. In the case of a tenant in
Ulster, who had on getting possession of his- farm
paid for. the goodwill, the sum paid for this would
enter into the price as a further clement. Professor
Cairnes says that this plan has lately attracted some
attention in Ireland, though he does not observe
that it has been noticed on this side of the Channel.

ELECTION NEWS.

Mr. Odger has finally agreed to abide by the cto-
cmon of the test ballot bet Ween himself and the
other two Liberal candidates. This change in the
determination of the working man to have no more
dealings with preliminary polling is owing chiefly to
a letter from Mr. Fawcett. The member for
Brighton objects as a rule :to test ballots, inasmuch
as they proceed on the assumption that there are
only two classes of politicians—Conservatives and
Liberals. At Bristol, however, circumstances were dif-
ferent, and he entreated Mr. Odger to accept the ballot.
The petition against Mr. Osborne's return for
Waterford has been lodged. It charges the member
who won his seat under such difficulties with being
guilty, by himself or his agents, of giving or
promising money to voters, and supplying meat and
drink to influence them corruptly. Intimidation is
also alleged.
