DR. MAGEE ON THE CLERGY.

Speaking at Oxford on the proposal to take educa-
tion altogether out of the hands of the clergy, the
Bishop of Peterborough complained that the clergy
were generally misrepresented. By noisy spouters
on platforms the clergyman was regarded
as a sullen, monastic sort of creature. But
Dr. Magee urged that it was the great strength and
glory of the Church, and he trusted that it would
,long remain so, that she had a body of clergy who
were liberal, because they were cultivated, accom-
plished gentlemen, and scholars. While it would be
an evil thing for the Church that this divorce should
take place between the Church and education, the evil,
he thought, would be far worse for the laity. If they,
ever succeeded in estranging the clergy from edu-
cation, they would not only have a demoralised
and degraded clergy, but a demoralised and degraded
laity. lle hoped that learned men would continue
to be trained in religion, and that religious men
would be trained in learning and science.

THE FRENCH FUNDS.

THE W ()RILING MAN IN AMEILICA.—in 1-40ilibs
tlonolly's last communication to the Telegraph he says
that the artisan population of New York cannot be sur-
passed in skill or capacity, which is owing to the fact that
from the thousands of emigrants who seek employment the
best are selected. Respecting the prosperity of the
working people of New York, it is the general opinion
that they were never better off than during the period
between 1842 and 1860 previous to the war, when gold was
at par, and workmen were paid with it. He believes
that the workmen manage to get through the
winter better than the unemployed do in London,
owing to the bountiful resources of the country.
The shipbuilding trade is very small just now,
the employers attribute it to the strike of 1865, but the
men, with more truth, contend that the Government
sacrificed the trade and shipping interest by a tariff which
was meant to benefit the coal and iron masters of Penn-
sylvania,. Owing to the high price of materials in New
York, ships can now be built in the British provinces for
one-third less per ton, It is only within the last ten years
the utility of trades unions ha-s been recognised by the
working classes ; but there are now 125 lodges having
93,000 members, in New York alone, and in the State
there are 320 lodges. Co-operation has been
tried with success by the iron-moulders, but
some other trades • have not been so fortunate in
the attempt. Conolly does not wish his fellow-workmen
at home to deceive them3elves, it is misery to seek em-
ployment in the over stocked labour market, and there
are more men out of work in New York than in London,
in proportion to the population. Yet if he had the world
to begin again, America would be the country for him,
with its boundless undeveloped resources ; but not to stay
in New York or in any of the large overcrowded cities. A
man should make his home in a small but rising town,
where, if there was anything in him, he would be sure to
rise with it% growth.

THE SERPENTINE.

Mr. W. EGERTON asked the First Commissioner of
Works if he could state when the works on the bed of the
Serpentine would bo completed, and how long locomo-
tives would continue, to run alongside the public thorough.
fares in the park ; and whether he would take any precau-
tions against the recurrence of accidents caused by horses
taking f right at the %engines, especially near the bridge
over the Serpentine.
Mr. AYRTON said various matters—the bad weather,
the frost, and other-circumstances had impeded the work,
but there would be:no unnecessary delay in finishing the
ivork.

FOREIGN OFFICE AGENCIES.

Mr. ItYLANDs asked the Under Secretary of State for
e'oreign Affairs, whether it was intended to abolish the
system of Foreign Office agencies at an early date ; and, if
so, under what conditions the proposed arrangements
would be carried out.

Mr. °TWAY said it hadbeen considered by the. Secretary
)f State that it would be no longer desirable for these
sgencies to be continued, and therefore after the 30th of
November next these agencies would altogether cease.

OFFICE OF INQUIRY FOR REFUGEES.

Acorrespondent of the Daily News makes a sugges-
tion for the benefit of the unfortunate refugees whom
the chances of war have driven to our country. He
asks whether it would not be possible to organise in
Leicester-square, or its neighbourhood, a "bureau of
inquiry for strangers." The uses of such an estab-
lishment would be manifold. There are at
present in London many persons who are
quite ignorant of the simplest social customs
and laws of this country, and who would
gladly avail themselves of the services of the pro-
posed institution. In order more fully to carry
out the purposes of the design there should
be an able secretary, assisted by a solicitor and a
staff of officials who can speak French fluently and
possess some knowledge of German. The strangers
within our gates are greatly perplexed as to ques-
tions of money, lodgings, cab-fares, and other
matters relating to the details of every day life, and
these knotty problems might be solved at the In-
quiry Office. The officials should resist every at-
tempt at extortion, and enforce the law against
lodging house keepers, cab-drivers, and others who
impose on the credulity or ignorance of foreigners.
The correspondent believes that the funds to start
such an office would •soon be forthcoming, as so
many persons are impressed with the importance of
doing all that is possible to alleviate the horrors of
the war.

India.

Subscription lists have been opened also at Malta for
the relief of the numerous widows, children, and others
the destitute by the loss of the Captain. The appeal made
by Rear-Admiral Key has been generously responded to,
and a sum of more than £2OO has been already subscribed,
notwithstanding that there are only three English vessels
of war at present in the port. All the subscriptions
received will be forwarded to the general committee in

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman, F.L.S.,
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best stylh by John
Berchner. The figures are life-size of every species and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work
is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at Cd. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at is. 6d. each part. Part X.
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph.
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advents geo
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
ziany rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' , work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are 80 well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

RE AUSTRALIAN kJOLOPII.W3.—ris 46-wiruci
demand for labour in the Australian colonies, the state
of the case, as given by the Emigration Commis-
sioners, is as follows :--In New South Wales no money
has been voted towards immigration since January,
1867, and a bill for the promotion of immigration in-
troduced by the Government in October last was lost
without a division on the second reading. In Queensland
an Act recently passed lessens the inducement to the in-
troduction of immigrants by discontinuing the issue of
land orders to shippers who provide them with passages.
In Victoria scarcely any but female domestic servants
and persons whose friends in the colony pay for passage
warrants obtain passages.. In South Australia the funds
set apart by law for immigration, which in June, 1863,
amounted to £360,000, and cannot now be less than half
a million, have in great measure been appropriated
to another service, and bills have been three times passed
by the Assembly, but rejected by the Council, to.make that
appropriation finaL In New Zealand, the province of Can-
terbury offers free passages to female servants, and assisted
passages to some classes of labourers, and in Hawke Bay
settlers can secure assisted passages for their friends on
guaranteeing repayment of the expense within two years.
In the other provinces no assistance is given. It can hardly
be said—the Commissioners add - under these circum-
stances that the Australian colonies shew any desire for
general immigration, or would be likely to co-operate with
the Home Government in paying the expense of passages.,
Oren if the Home Government felt Jutstit-W(1 in contri-
liuting a portion 'of that expense out of the Imperial Trp.ar

A FLOOD IN VIRGINIA.

The American papers bring intelligence of
terrible and fatal floods which devastated
the State of Virginia in the early days of
October. The floods succeeded a heavy and wide-
reaching storm from the east, which burst in full
force upon the Alleghany mountains from the
Roanoke to the Potomac. In the Shenandoah, Har-
per's Ferry was submerged, and no less than fifty lives
were lost. The little town of Columbia was inundated
and great numbers of its inhabitants drowned.
It is, indeed, impossible, at present, even to estimate
the luEs of life and property, though many painful
incidents are told. In the neighbourhood of Rich-
mond two or three families were lost, and one young
lady was washed away by the flood after clinging to
a tree for 48 hours. The bridges of the Shenandoah
rivers are swept away, the Baltimore awl Ohio rail-
road destroyed. The James River at Richmond

rose twenty-five feet in one night, and the damage
done in the city is immense. Warehoused, stores,
private houses,. the gas works—all are submerged,
and all business is completely suspended. Four
million dollars' worth of property was very speedily.
destroyed, and two hundred families rendered house-
less. Boats ply to and fro in the streets, and a
schooner has anchored in front of the St. Charles
Hotel, in the centre of the city. The darkness occa-
sioned by the submersion of the gas works increases
the terror and distress of the people.

THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A new musical piece, by a new writer, Mr. Arthur
Wood, has been placed upon the stage of the Olympic
Theatre. Its chief characteristic is its brevity, which, it
may be stated, on the first evening qui, e astonished
the audience. The outlines of the story of Paul and
Virginia are represented in a rapid, and, were it not for
the songs and scenery, in an unpleasantly realistic and
succinct manner. The only remarkable innovation is a
dance by ten little Indian's, who, though additionally
interesting by their difference of size, fail to sing
the song that has made the number Ten, as
applied to Indian boys, so famous. The 'smallest
of the litth, fellows performs his part in so
intelligent a way as to call forth an encore for a dance
that is kept time to by clappings from empty cocoa nuts.
Mrs. Liston's pourtrayal of Paul is creditable, as indeed
all her usual impersonations are. Her graceful form and
tasteful style of dress, as well as her clear voice and
opportune movements upon the stage, tend in this new
extravaganza, as much as in any old one, to gain her many
friends. Mr. Belmore is excellent as Virginia. His
dress and performance at different stages of the
piece is a mixture of what might be expected
from a burlesque Ophelia and a Marguerite com-
bined. In spite of the long raven hair and
the " gushing" gestures of countenance assumed by this
very best of London comedians, the memory of Daniel
I'eggotty," a part Mr. Behnore sustains in the early part of
the evening, cannot be forgotten by the audience when
he is once more on the stage in the character of Virginia.
The melancholy interest raised by Mr. Belmore in the
former character, and, rendered especially peculiar by his
own soft eyes and mournful tone of voice, is not removed
by all his versatility and fun shown in the after piece.
Paul and Virginia is embellished by some very beauti-
ful oriental scenery.

THE PALACE OF ST. CLOUD.

The palace of St. Cloud which has just been burned,
is associated with the history of France for a period
of 300 years. In 1589, Henry 111. was assassinated
there by the Dominican Monk, Jacques 016ment.
Louis the Fourteenth purchased the place in 1658,
and gave it to his brother, the Duke of Orleans,
who spent large sums in its improvement. The Or-
leans family retained it in their possession for more
than a century, when it once more became a royal
residence. Louis the Sixteenth purchased
it for Marie - Antoinette, who regarded it as
her favourite place of resort. After the stormy
period of 1792 it passed into the hands
of the people for a short time. When Napoleon
Bonaparte was the absolute ruler of France, St.
Cloud became an item of his private property. He
was always partial to the place, and generally lived
there when at home. The palace of St. Cloud has
been connected with other revolutionary eras of
France besides that of the eighteenth of Brumaire.
Charles the Tenth there passed the decrees which led
to the Revolution of July ; and, when flying from
Paris on the 24th of February, 1848, Louis Philippe
stopped for a time at St. Cloud. Napoleon the
Third dated at St. Cloud the Imperial Concession
which the 011ivier Ministry afterwards carried into
effect. St. Cloud was the favourite residence of the
ex-Emperor as it was that of his uncle, and from
thence last July he departed for the war.

How STRASBURG HAS SUFFERED.

It is said that the damage done to the Cathedral
at Strasburg consists chiefly in the burnt-off roof of
the nave, the vaulted roof being uninjured. Part of
the organ pipes were destroyed by a shell entering
through the window behind it and bursting in the
floor of the nave. The painted windows are pierced
by rifle bullets and shell splinters, but not to any
great extent. One corner gallery of the spire is shot
down, and the cross of the same struck by a four-
pounder ball, which sent it hanging to the side. There
are other injuries, but they are not very noticeable.
The German artillerists are credited with having had
a great desire to spare the noble pile from destruc-
tion. A competent authority estimates the damage
done to the town at something higher than 4i
millions sterling, but an official return ordered to be
made by the Germans will probably show more
accurately the pecuniary loss which Strasburg has
suffered.

THE WAR.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS

A PRUSSIAN ON THE SIEGE.

The Breslau Gazette publishes a letter from Ferribres,
written by a Prussian who does not take a very sanguine
view of affairs. "Unfortunately," he says, "we cannot
expect a very decisive action for several weeks, by which
time the Mobiles will have expended their ammunition
and consumed their provisions. The circle of fire will be
narrowed, and we can attempt to take the city without
the risk of too great loss on our own part. This result is
very desirable. Until now the fury of the war
has made the most horrible harvest that was
ever seen. But we are asking ourselves with
anxiety what will become of us during this interval.
The rapid and energetic progress of the war has removed
rom us all courage and all aptitude for long operations.
Idle expectation appears to us to be absolute torment, foL
lowing on the feverish excitement of the opening. Added
to this there is much greater difficulty in provisioning an
army in quarters than an army on the march. So long as
our columns were in motion and were traversing different
roads they obtained provisions and had sonic variety in
their food ; but at the bivouao at the quarters the soldiers
are obliged to wait for victuals, which consist only of bad
beef, especially since the cattle plague has broken out in
Germany. What I suffer from most is the lack of bread.
Around us in the villages every thing has been pillaged.
There does not remain a rabbit, or a pigeon, or a vegetable.
Famine is threatening us, we have scarcely anything to
eat. Cold weather is coming and the Free Shooters are
stopping our trains of provisions."

DEMOCRACY IN LONDON.

On Monday night, at a meeting of the Democratic order
calling themselves the Anglo-French Intervention Com-
mittee, it was resolved that there should be a mass meeting
in Palace Yard this (Wednesday) night, and that a
resolution should be submitted requesting the neutral
Powers to call a conference for mediation between the
belligerents. At the close of the meeting a proces-
sion will be formed, and the members of it will
march to the Prussian Embassy and give three groans,
and then go to the French Embassy and give cheers.

SCENE AT THE IMPERIAL THE.ITRE AT

MOSCOW.

The Russian Gazette of Moscow gives the description of
a strange scene at the Imperial Theatre, at Moscow,
which took place on the occasion of Tamberlik's perform-
ance in the "Trovatore." A set of unruly individuals
who were engaged to hiss Tamberlik through the perform-
ance had taken possession of a set of galleries at the be-

ginning of therepresentation. The curtain rose, and after
a short time the voice of Tamberlik was heard chanting a
serenade ; immediately hisses proceeded from the upper
gallery and resounded throughout the place. Tamberlik,
who made his first appearance in an opera before the
Moscow public, and who was anxiously awaiting
his reception, was treated as a foreign player
of no repute. The chief representative of
dramatic singing in Europe, the singer who has hitherto

had no equal in his rendering of musical performances,
was treated most discreditably by the Muscovites. This
was not all, however, for the opera was replaced by a
scandal. As soon as Tamberlik opened his mouth a
torrent of hisses drowned his voice and the sounds of the
orchestra. The occupants of the boxes and other parts
of the theatre, protested against this outrage, but
in vain. The orchestra made desperate efforts to
play loudly, but nothing availed until the singer
retired. The head of the Moscow police was
present, and agents of police were in the galleries
while the performance took place in the Imperial theatre,
but it would bave been impossible to show greater disre-
spect to the performance and the auditory. Nothing was
done to put a stop to the disturbances. Had Prince
Dalgoroukia not been absent from Moscow at the time,
such a, scene could not have taken place, It is believed
that M. Tamberlik will regard the matter in its proper
light, and not confound the better part of the assembly
with the unruly persons who were engaged to make a
disturbance. Tamberlik received a telegram from the
members of the artistic circle of St. Petersburg, expressive
of their indignation at his treatment, to which he returned
a suitable answer declaring his contempt for the cabal
who had insulted him.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The judicial machinery of the Irish Land Bill is now
completed. Parliament has been deservedly praised
for its prodigious exertions in connection with
this measure, but very much remained for the
lawyers to do after the Legislature had exhausted
all its constructive skill and energy. Every legal
tribunals has its rules and by-laws,v,on the completeness of
which much of the success attending its work depends.
We learn that judges " distinguished for their legal know-
ledge and judicial experience " have been at work upon
the new machinery, and that they have not disdained
to avail themselves of the aid of " the Assistant
Barristers, whose intimate acquaintance with the
forms of proceedings in the Civil Bill Courts have enabled
them to offer suggestions as to the modifications most
likely to be useful." Applications and disputes are to be
heard in the division of the county where the land
is situated, " unless the chairman shall otherwise
direct on sufficient grounds of. convenience." At
the quarter sessions in these divisions special
sessions for land cases are to be held, of which due
notice must be given. Minute regulations are made re-
specting notices, in which every reasonable facility is ex-
tended both to landlord and tenant, while to prevent, we
presume, any attempt at overreaching on either side,
it is provided that all notices of claims must
be served one calendar month at least before the
special sessions. A copy of every notice of claim and of
dispute is also to be delivered to the clerk of the peace
within a week after its service. Where witnesses cannot
attend, the chairman may receive evidence by affidavits, and
may adjourn the hearingiff he finds that the case comes within
the 20th section of the Act. He may also "review or
vary" any decision he has given during the continnance
of the session, but not afterwards, unless with the con-
sent of loth parties in writing. It is anticipated that
the new court will have, at the first at least, plenty of
employment. Fortunately the scale of fees is said to
be " very moderate," and no others are recoverable.—
